Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

"I wish I could answer you, Alex, but both of us have been locked down here for a long time.

We don't know what has happened outside now. And I pity you."

Alex raised his eyebrows, feeling confused by her words.

"I am once a revered Fairy Queen with my own kingdom, having control over a few planets. And this fool here, as you already guessed, was once a Feline King with a similar territory to mine.

But, you know, in a fight between progenitors, we are nothing more than foot soldiers."

"Freya, why are you scaring the kid?"

"I'm just stating the truth, and stop referring to him as a kid. He needs to understand his own situation."

"Do you know what they are fighting for?"

Freya shrugged her shoulders, "How would I know? I'm merely a foot soldier, but it must be something valuable, since even the progenitor desires it."

Hearing her words, Aimu scoffed, "What valuable? Probably one of them became bored with living and decided to create chaos just for the heck of it."

"What makes you think that?" Alex asked.

Since Aimu was so confident in his statement, that meant he had a reason to believe it, but his answer made Alex question himself.

"If you ever meet a real progenitor and see what they are capable of, you will realize there's almost nothing they can't do.

But that power comes with a price; boredom. Just think of them as immortal beings with nearly omnipotent power."

'Will I become like that too when I reach that stage?' Alex questioned himself. He didn't like the possibility he would change into people he hated.

Hurting others just for their own entertainment, Alex hates this person the most.

"They're not immortal, Aimu. Have you forgotten one of them died?

You're just saying that out of your own spite. They also have many weaknesses, which is why they still have their own desires."

"Only a progenitor can kill another progenitor, so we might as well call them immortal. And have you forgotten, Freya? There are a few cases where a progenitor turned into madness."

Hearing this, Alex felt even more confused.

If a progenitor is almost omnipotent, how can they fall into madness? They should also have a strong mentality with that much life experience in their hands.

"What kind of madness? Do they go crazy, massacring every being weaker than them?"

Freya replied with a nod, "We do have some rumors that it happened, but we don't know anyone who knows if it's the truth or not.

After all, the event probably happened a long time ago.

And don't forget, Alex, we are nothing more than foot soldiers for the progenitor. What you hear is nothing more than gossip; you should take it with a grain of salt."

"Hmph!" Aimu huffed but didn't say anything more.

This made Alex realize there was only limited information about the progenitor he could get here, but a rumor or gossip was still better than nothing.

He could just confirm it later with Vesa, even though Vesa is tight-lipped about them; if it's just confirming a fact, Alex was sure he would get an answer.

He then proceeded to ask for more information that they knew about the progenitor and how they could guess him as one.

Even though Vesa had already told him the reason, he wanted to find out from their point of view.

The reason is the same: Alex has an energy signature unique to a progenitor, and they could guess Alex was a vampire progenitor because the late vampire progenitor basically announced it to the whole universe when he was killed.

This knowledge made Alex curse at the late progenitor.

'Why did he need to announce it to the whole universe!?' But he didn't say this out loud. Instead, Alex asked, "What more do you know about him?"

"The vampire progenitor? We just know his name, Alucard, and as for the rest, we don't know much.

But one thing for sure, as his heir, you will be hunted down by many of his enemies," Freya said in a solemn tone.

Aimu then laughed, "Oh yeah, I think I should tell you this: there are rumors that the human progenitor was involved in his demise.

If I were you, I would take care not to show my energy left and right like that.

Well, even becoming a vampire is already enough for many races to hunt you down since, in the universe community, there's already a high bounty for each pure vampire head."

"Just how old is this information?" Alex asked, wanting to know how valid their information was.

"We've been here for ten thousand years," Aimu said, his eyes glimmering with nostalgia.

Freya then added, "To be exact, it's 18,354 years, but in the outside world, it should only be 1,800 years since time here is ten times faster than outside. So, I doubt there will be any significant change in the situation."

'They should have based this time on the Scorched Dune Labyrinth time, so it should be similar to my planet,' Alex thought to himself.

He then realized nothing had changed much; he still needed to hide his identity as a progenitor from as many people as possible.

"Kid, let's make a trade. I know you want to find a way out of this place, and I can help, but you need to bring a few people we choose to go out with you.

You don't need to care for them afterward; they will have their own mission. Except for Lily, I want you to bring her on your journey," Aimu said.

Alex feels confused by his suggestion. Based on their actions so far, both of them seem to hate joining the war and don't have any plans to come out from this place.

"Do you guys want to rejoin the war?"

Aimu and Freya looked at each other and then let out a laugh.

"Of course not. Why would we want to return to that pandemonium?
