Vampire God in the Apocalypse

Chapter 232: 229. The Nexus

Dexter only rased a brow in confusion and soon the golden wings of fate emerged. He witnessed as the golden metallic wing turned black and he watched silently.

Very thin golden lines began to appear on the wing, forming a beautiful and alluring pattern. The wing was suddenly covered in flames and Dexter flapped it around.

'It feels... lighter than normal.' He thought.

[<Blazing wings> have empowered <wings of fate>]

Seeing the words in front of him, Dexter smiled as he dismissed the screen and he looked back to the tree.

He walked on the large roots, making his way to the trunk. He frowned as he kept hearing a whispering voice from the tree.

*Take the fruit*

"What the hell is this?" Dexter said as he looked up at the tree.

He jumped up on the branches and then he saw the nest of the bird. There were three blue fruits in it and Dexter jumped in.

He held one and it seemed to be like a heart, beating in his hands.

He gazed at the branches of the tree. Each one was even wider then his own body. He decided to check the branches if he'll see any other things and he climbed and then as he stepped on a branch...

Immediately, it was like he stepped into a trance. He saw a man which resembled a demon with red pupils and black sclera, his long silky white hair was stained with blood and so was his claws. The demon dashed towards him with the bloodied hands.

Dexter put his arms up before him to block but the man vanished before he could reach him.

'What is this?' Dexter thought as he realized he was in a trance.

He suddenly saw an old woman with ashen hair standing alone in a wilderness. The air was still shaking, making Dexter convinced that he wasn't in reality.

"The Edri ritual, the both of you messed it up."

"A curse! Curse!"

Dexter turned to his side and he saw another woman there.

"Death!"

"Even if you're born again, you'll always be the one to kill each other!!"

"Edri is not happy!!"

Dexter's heart began to beat faster as more and more women began to gather him. Their words were sparking something in him. He began to get vague flashes of his own dead body.

"ARGHHHHH!!!" Dexter shouted in frustration and anger.

He opened his eyes again and he saw himself still on the tree. He was breathing quickly. He felt his heart palpitating as he was seething with rage.

'I'm angry?' He asked himself as he frowned.

He could feel it within himself. As he saw those flashes and those vague images, a deep rooted rage from within him sprouted.

"Ugh, what was that about? Some sort of illusion?" Dexter thought and then he looked at the distance from the nest and he took a deep breath as he jumped towards it.

He was afraid that if he step on the branch again he'll get thrown into an illusion again.

[Item: Origin fruit (Unripe - Time remaining: 47:12:16)]

[Rank: second class ranked item]

[Description: A fruit born from the world tree, the Nexus. Once consumes, you will gain a deeper comprehension of the energies of the universe, time, and space.]

Dexter stared at the fruit in his hands, and then he looked at the branches of the tree.

'Is this tree the world tree?' Dexter questioned.

He looked back at the rest of the fruits in the nest and then he opened a portal into his mini dimension, taking them with him.

He entered into this his private space and then he went into the house and kept the fruits on the table.

As he walked out he couldn't help but smell something alluring and sweet, he looked to the side and he saw a big tank. He remembered the wolf he killed, it's blood was within the tank.

After having a few sips he went out of the dimension back to normal earth. As he came out, he was about to jump off of the tree but then he saw a beautiful woman flying towards him in the nest.

"Hm?" The woman raised a brow as she looked at Dexter.

With flowing, white long hair which looked to be even softer than silk and her deep, sky blue eyes which held great secrets, and the beauty of an ethereal fairy.

Dexter remembered her face well as she was with a bunch of people when he went to a forest to fight the warlock of curses.

"How did you find this place?" Lisa asked with a raised brow as she floated towards the branches.

"I was hunting." Dexter simply replied and she looked at him with a raised brow.

"Who are you?" Dexter asked as he squinted his eyes, looking at her with much curiousity.

He has seen her a couple of times but he still didn't know who she was.

"Me? I'm a witch. And the mother of your wife." She said with a sly smile.

"Ah, wait, wife? I don't have one." Dexter mumbled and then he gazed at her even more attentively.

'A witch huh? I wonder what she'll be like. Last time I actually saw one was when Brian went into the woods.' Dexter thought to himself and she went to check the branches.

"You're not bad. Very loving and protective of your family, I admire that. Hannah has told me a lot about you."

Hearing Hannah's name from this woman's mouth Dexter looked at her, shock evident on his face.

"When you say wife, you mean you're Hannah's mother?" Dexter asked her with a confused and shocked look on his face.

"Haha, yes I am."

"But she's dark skin," Dexter furrowed his brows deeply as he thought that and then Lisa couldn't help but smile bitterly.

...

In an unknown space, two beings watched the progress of earth. Dracula and Nyx focused on the more powerful people in the world and their interactions.

"Hm? This Dexter boy found the world tree." Nyx said as her long eyelashes fluttered.

Dracula looked over and he couldn't help but smile.

"I can't help but imagine how the people of this world would react when they know that Gods exist." Dracula said in amusement.

"They can't do anything but try to survive. They are all pawns of a game they have no idea is being played." Nyx said as she spun the earth and looked at another location.
