Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 199 199 Ruthless to Oneself

In a dark underground room, the air thick with tension and secrecy, seven shadowy figures convened around a dimly lit table. They referred to themselves as the Laughing Blood, a clandestine and malevolent organization operating in the shadows of the city of Phenos. The flickering candles cast eerie shadows on their faces, making their features difficult to discern.

The leader, a silhouette of authority, began the discussion. "Recent events have taken an unfavorable turn in Phenos. We've lost contact with a member outside the Wall of Hope. It's likely that the mission failed and he ran away. The Golden Rock is now beyond our reach, rendering our plans for its use futile."

"Such a failure. Hunt him down. There's room for him in this life."

Another figure, their voice distorted and menacing, spoke up. "Johan and his team might be the ones who fought our member and took the Golden Rock. There's no doubt about it."

Murmurs of agreement echoed in the underground chamber. The Laughing Blood members exchanged wary glances, contemplating the implications of Caleb's actions. The Golden Rock, a powerful artifact they had planned to use, was used to seal the wall rendering it useless to them.

The room fell into a heavy silence as they contemplated their next move. Strategies were discussed, each member offering their insights on how to deal with Caleb. Some suggested subtle manipulation, while others leaned towards a more direct confrontation. The air hung thick with a sense of urgency, knowing that every decision they made would shape the destiny of Phenos.

Amidst the discussion, a lingering worry permeated the conversation – the fear that their existence as vampires could be exposed. The Laughing Blood operated in the shadows, and any revelation of their true nature could jeopardize their dark machinations.

"The city is on the brink of chaos," the leader stated with a voice like a sinister whisper. "Johan is a threat we cannot ignore. We must tread carefully and ensure our actions remain veiled in secrecy. Our survival depends on it.

The members of the Laughing Blood continued their conversation in the dimly lit underground chamber, discussing their dark and twisted plans for the future of Phenos. The air was thick with tension as they delved into the sinister details of their next move.

"We need another 2000 corpses," one of the figures mentioned casually, as if discussing a mundane task.

Another responded, "Yes, for the God Blood ritual. It's imperative that we awaken its power. Once it's unleashed, chaos will ensue, and the ruling party will be too occupied to notice our actions."

The members exchanged glances, their eyes glinting with a malevolent anticipation. The room echoed with the weight of their ominous plans, and the discussion continued, albeit in hushed tones.

"We must stir rebellion among the citizens. Make them question the authorities and create an atmosphere of unrest," suggested a cloaked figure.

"Chaos is our ally. It will divert their attention, allowing us to carry out our plans undisturbed," added another.

The seven shadowy figures continued their conversation, revealing more details about the mysterious substance known as God Blood. Each member spoke in hushed tones, their voices echoing in the concealed chamber.

"The God Blood's origin dates back centuries," one figure explained, his voice filled with an air of authority. "It is said to have been extracted from an ancient deity, a being of immense power that once roamed these lands."

Another figure added, "Its purpose is multifaceted. It can grant enhanced abilities to those who possess it, tapping into the essence of the divine. But its true potential lies in chaos – the more unrest it sows, the stronger its effects become."

The members exchanged knowing glances, acknowledging the volatile nature of the God Blood. They spoke of its availability, revealing that obtaining such a substance was an arduous task. It was a rare commodity, hidden away from the prying eyes of the masses.

"Restrictions are in place," whispered a cloaked figure. "Not everyone can harness its power. Only those with a specific affinity, a resonance with the divine, can fully utilize its capabilities. It's both a blessing and a curse."

"All right, hear me out. We're hitting District 0 first," one of them said, leaning back in their chair.

"District 0? The breeding ground for all things shady," another one chuckled. "We turn those crooks into vamps, and we've got ourselves a full-blown army of chaos."

Laughter filled the room, a sinister camaraderie weaving through the air. They tossed around ideas on how to choose the right candidates for the transformation, each suggestion more devious than the last.

"Only the nastiest ones get the fangs, right?" a hooded figure grinned, their eyes glinting.

"Absolutely. We need them ruthless and ready to wreak havoc," someone agreed, tapping their fingers on the table.

As they spoke, the conversation shifted to the ritual itself. They spoke of dark arts, ancient incantations, and the forbidden practices that would turn the criminals into creatures of the night. Your journey continues with empire

"Picture this – chaos in the streets, vamps on the loose, and the ruling party scrambling to keep it together," a voice mused. "We're going to be the puppeteers pulling the strings."

They discussed the consequences, too, weighing the risks of their actions. The room buzzed with excitement and anticipation, each member adding a layer to their malevolent masterpiece.

"So, what if the ruling party catches wind of our little scheme?" someone asked, a note of skepticism in their voice.

"Relax. We're shadows. They won't see us coming," another responded with a sly grin.

As the conversation about their sinister plans concluded, one of the Laughing Blood members spoke with a malevolent grin, "And don't forget, keep an eye on Johan's every move. We need to know what he's up to."

Nods of agreement passed among the shadowy figures, each understanding the importance of monitoring the newly ascended Destiny. The room darkened as they vanished into the shadows, dispersing into the night.

Little did they know that fate had other plans. As the last of them left, the underground base erupted into a cacophony of explosions.

BOOM!

Flames consumed the room, devouring the remnants of their secret meeting. The blast was ruthless, leaving no trace behind, obliterating any evidence that could link them to the nefarious plot they had just discussed.

The Laughing Blood had orchestrated their own demise, a calculated sacrifice to erase any inkling of their malevolent conspiracy. The explosion echoed their sinister laughter, leaving behind only the memory of their secret meeting.
