Seeing Tatsuma disappear, Elmenhilde leaned over and whispered, "Giada-sama, what should we do next?"
"Should we take this opportunity to withdraw?"
Giada glanced at her and asked, "You've been out of that isolated place for a while now, haven't you heard of the Red Dragon Emperor's rumors?"
"Of course I have."
"Then you still dare to run away? Aren't you afraid he'll chase you all the way to your headquarters and wipe out your Carmilla Faction?"
Elmenhilde was stunned for a moment. "This... surely it won't be that bad? Didn't they say that the Bible Faction recently formed a Three Factions cooperation and is advocating for peace?"
Giada shook her head slightly. "It's the Three Factions cooperating for peace, not Tatsuma."
Giada reminded her, "Although these two can be seen as a whole for the most part, in specific situations, they are counted separately."
Elmenhilde: "..."
They can be counted separately?
Recalling Tatsuma's actions, Elmenhilde fell silent.
It seemed like they really could.
Elmenhilde sighed in her heart, feeling a deep sense of helplessness.
But just then, Giada's voice rang out. "Do you want to consider the Red Dragon Emperor?"
Elmenhilde was taken aback, not understanding what she meant. "The Red Dragon Emperor? What do you mean?"
"Of course, I mean your mission for this trip."
Giada sat down on a nearby chair and somehow pulled out an apple and started eating it.
Unlike Giada and the others who came from another world, the native vampires were divided into two major factions.
The Carmilla Faction, mainly composed of female vampires, and the Tepes Faction, mainly composed of male vampires.
For various reasons, the two vampire factions had been secretly competing with each other, vying for superiority.
However, not long ago, a Longinus wielder appeared within the Tepes Faction.
Affected by the other party, the balance between the two factions began to gradually collapse, and the Carmilla Faction fell into a disadvantage.
It just so happened that news of the Fourth Primogenitor Remains appearing emerged at this time, which was why the Carmilla Faction Queen sent Elmenhilde out to seek allies.
The three Primogenitors, including Giada, were one, and the Fourth Primogenitor, who was still sealed, was the second.
As long as they could obtain help from either of these two, the Carmilla Faction would be able to stabilize the situation and regain the upper hand.
However...
"After this battle, I found that the upper limit of a Longinus wielder is very high."
"Compared to asking me to help solve internal disputes, I think it's simpler for you to ask the Red Dragon Emperor for help."
"From my observation, he seems to really like fighting, so if you ask him, he'll most likely agree."
"Oh? Is that so?"
A hint of hesitation flickered in Elmenhilde's eyes.
After the previous battle, she also understood how great Tatsuma's power was. If the other party was willing to help, the Tepes Faction's Longinus wielder would be no match at all.
However...
"The Red Dragon Emperor isn't a vampire, isn't it not very good to ask him for help?"
Giada couldn't help but complain, "What's not good about that? Actively isolating yourselves from the outside world, killing each other over trivial matters, and in the end, even being stingy about finding helpers, if you native vampires continue like this, you won't be far from extinction."
"..."
Elmenhilde fell silent.
As the Carmilla Faction Queen's envoy, she was naturally not a fool. On the contrary, she was a smart person.
After coming out of her homeland and traveling around the three Primogenitors and various places, having fully understood the situation of the outside world, Elmenhilde understood that Giada was not lying.
Everything she said was true. If they continued like this, the native vampires would quickly become disconnected from the times and face extinction.
Perhaps it was time to make a change.
Looking at the stone door in front that was shimmering with holy light, a hint of determination flashed in Elmenhilde's eyes.
On the other side, inside the Fourth Primogenitor's seal.
Tatsuma, who still didn't know what was happening outside, was currently staring blankly at a golden-haired loli.
"You said you are the God of the Bible?"
"That's right, I am the God of the Bible."
The golden-haired loli stood on a stone, chest puffed out, exuding a rich holy light. "How about it? Does this prove my identity?"
"Hmm... it's indeed very impressive."
Tatsuma examined her carefully. Although the scale wasn't large, the quality of this holy light was the highest he had ever seen.
Even the holy light on Michael's body was far inferior to this blonde girl in front of him.
However...
"I heard from Michael that the God of the Bible is a great beauty with a flawless appearance and a figure not inferior to Gabriel's. How come you're not quite the same as what I heard?"
"Uh... that was how I used to look."
The God of the Bible scratched her head. "My current state is a bit poor, so to maintain my remnant soul, I can only use energy-saving mode."
Tatsuma was thoughtful. "Remnant soul? Is the Fourth Primogenitor that important, that it's worth cutting out your soul and putting it here?"
The God of the Bible shook her head. "You've misunderstood, my soul was transferred into this seal later."
Tatsuma: "?"
She pointed at herself. "Didn't I just say it? I am the God of the Bible."
She reiterated, "Not something like a thought, but the genuine main body."
Tatsuma said, "Even if you say that, it's hard for me to believe you."
"Why?"
Tatsuma asked, "If you are the main body, why don't you contact Michael and return to Heaven to recuperate, instead of staying in this seal all the time?"
"This..."
Her expression suddenly became awkward.
Looking around, confirming that there was no third person present to eavesdrop, she trotted over to Tatsuma and whispered, "Actually, I'm trapped by my own seal. Look, isn't this a bit too embarrassing?"
"I don't want to ruin my perfect image in front of my children, so I've been hiding here and haven't come out."
One can die, but their reputation must not be tarnished.
The God of the Bible could calmly accept her death. But even if she died, she had to maintain her divine persona.
Tatsuma raised an eyebrow. "You're just making things difficult for yourself, aren't you?"
"Also, since you don't want to expose the fact that you're still alive, why did you voluntarily jump out to see me?"
The blonde girl said, "Before I became like this, I had an agreement with an old man. Calculating the time, it's almost the agreed time point, so I wanted to find someone to help run errands."
Tatsuma asked, "Is there a reward?"
The God of the Bible coughed, "My current state isn't very good, but for the sake of world peace, please..."
Tatsuma interrupted, "I don't accept being taken advantage of."
"Alright."
As expected, it won't work.
The God of the Bible scratched her head, feeling a bit helpless.
She was not unfamiliar with Tatsuma. Although she was in the seal and couldn't go out, she had left many contingencies outside during her lifetime.
With the help of those contingencies, she could collect a lot of information about the outside world. Naturally, this included Tatsuma.
Unlike previous Red Dragon Emperors, Tatsuma's most powerful aspect wasn't the Boosted Gear, but himself.
To move the other party to help, ordinary rewards are somewhat insufficient.
God of the Bible said, "There's no other way. Then I'll sacrifice this remnant soul to give you a permanent blessing."
"In exchange, you must complete the commission I give you."
Tatsuma said, "I refuse."
"Huh? Why?"
"The blessing I just mentioned is very powerful, definitely no worse than a Longinus."
Tatsuma said, "Even if you say that, I can't possibly sacrifice you for a reward. Ultimately, letting you live and then selling your information to Michael can clearly earn more, and I don't even have to run errands."
God of the Bible shook her head frantically. "No! You absolutely cannot do that!"
"If you really tell the children my news, I'll really get angry!"
"Oh."
Looking at the blonde girl in front of him, glaring fiercely at him, looking like she was acting spoiled, Tatsuma couldn't help but reach out and pat her head a couple of times.
"Hey! Don't touch me randomly!"
God of the Bible slapped Tatsuma's hand away. "If you do that again, I'll self-destruct."
Tatsuma silently withdrew his hand. "You're the first person to threaten me with your own life."
God of the Bible: "..."
This isn't a good thing, is it?
