Chapter 150: No Other God Vampire into The Divine Ranks!
Pyris sat in his luxurious office, deep in thought, his mind constantly spinning around the complicated puzzle that was Silas. Isolating Silas from Dracula wasn't an easy task—far from it.
As the air grew heavier with the weight of unsolved problems, Pyris tried to come up with a solution that didn't lead to a full-blown conflict with the Vampire Royal Family.

The thought of bringing chaos to the fragile peace between the Dragon Empire and the Vampires was something he needed to avoid.
At all costs.
He leaned back in his chair, golden eyes reflecting the soft light of the office, courtesy of his awakened Golden Dragon Heritage.
[The life you envisioned as a lazy harem lord... Is now complicated with power struggles and family complications!] Lia noted in his mind.
He couldn't refute her words, "one time I will get over them, when I'm done with Silas, I will go silent and live the life I wanted! Power struggles among empires? I can do all that from shadows, I will live as an adventurous travelling empires and realms, forbidden zones and relationship Argos, Immortal and God Realm have got to offer!" Pyris left out.
Lia knew these were not empty words, in fact he would have already started if not Emberly pressing these responsibilities on him but he didn't complain!
The couch that separated him from his two gorgeous personal assistant and secretary, Lizzie and Suzie, was a vast expanse.
Lizzie his secretary sat at the far end of the room, a beautiful picture of grace and elegance. Dressed in a form-fitting dark red skirt, her sharp intelligence showed in the way she meticulously organized the stacks of papers in front of her. Her sleeveless blouse clung to her figure, exposing just enough skin to be alluring but maintaining that professional edge.
Her long, slender legs were crossed, accentuating her femininity, and each movement she made seemed calculated to captivate anyone watching.
He liked her elegance but liked Suzie more...
Suzie his assistant, however, was closest to him, her presence impossible to ignore. She stood with her back to him, organizing the various magical artifacts displayed on the shelves, but Pyris's attention was locked onto her.
Suzie's sheer white blouse hugged her curves, highlighting her toned arms and delicate waist, but her huge breasts were more attractive.
Her black skirt rode just above her thick thighs. The smooth fabric clung to her, emphasizing her slender legs and parts of her mouthwatering thighs that seemed almost too perfect.
Every shift of her hips, every subtle movement of her body was a temptation in itself, and Pyris's dragon heritage sharpened his awareness of every breath, every flutter of her fingers.
He let out a breath, trying to focus. But Suzie's legs were so alluring it was hard to tear his gaze away. And as if she could feel it, Suzie bent down just a little, giving him a brief glimpse of skin above her thighs, leaving his mind wandering as his blood hummed with a low, primal desire.
Suddenly, Lia, the spirit of his soul, echoed in his mind, breaking through the haze.
[Say, Pyris, isn't it high time you talk to the Goddess for her guidance? She might maybe give you some ideas hot to attract Dracula.] Lia's voice was teasing but thoughtful. Pyris knew exactly what she was referring to—the one-time monthly opportunity he had to speak directly with the Lust Goddess herself.
A boon that most mortals would kill for, yet Pyris had stayed clear of it, purposely keeping his distance.
'No!' Pyris replied firmly in his mind, his eyes slowly drifting back to Suzie's elegant frame. His gaze traced the smooth line of her legs, thighs and the prizes that lay beyond, imagining what it would be like to... 'You know my plan for that, and I'm not about to ruin it. Instead, I'd welcome your take.'
Suzie, unaware of the conversation in his mind, continued to work diligently, but also teasing his eyes, her slender fingers gliding over the delicate artifacts. Her beauty was as undeniable as it was distracting. Pyris's attention lingered on her longer than it should have.
His golden eyes drank in every detail, not missing the subtle curves of her waist or the way the soft light danced on her skin. Suzie was, after all, the closest to him in his office life. She knew his every habit, his preferences, and desires, and sometimes, like now, she was his greatest distraction.
Lia's laughter echoed again, cutting through his indulgent thoughts.
[A god's blood.] Pyris almost choked at her words, coughing and struggling to catch his breath.
"Cough!" Pyris chocked on his breathe at Lia's words.
"Boss!" Suzie's voice was immediately filled with concern as she rushed to his side, her smooth legs carrying her quickly across the room. Her hands held out a glass of water, the gesture sincere.
Pyris took it, his fingers brushing against hers ever so slightly, just enough to feel the electric charge between them. Suzie's eyes widened, her breath hitching as she shivered from the unexpected touch.
His Lust Aura seeped through, sinking into her body as a flush of warmth filled her.
"Thank you, Suzie," Pyris said smoothly, his voice husky as he took a sip, eyes never leaving hers.
"Not at all, Boss," Suzie stammered, her cheeks flushing slightly. She turned quickly and rushed back to her desk, flustered, but unable to shake the lingering sensation of his touch. Pyris allowed himself a momentary smile.
'Lia, you must be out of your mind! A god's blood? That's like asking for the entire cosmos!' Pyris's brow furrowed as he thought about how absurd the idea was. 'And for what? Where would we even begin to obtain the blood of a god? You're insane!'
Lia's voice rang out in her usual smug tone.
[See? I knew my idea wasn't worth mentioning. How would you even comprehend something like this?]
Pyris sat up, rubbing his temples. Lia might be infuriating, but he couldn't ignore her outright. 'No, no, Lia. I like the idea. But what's the use of it? And tell me about the other ideas while you're at it.'
Lia's voice took on a more serious tone as she explained.
[The blood of a god, if you can get your hands on it, combined with something like the Blood Chalice of the Ancients, could give you an edge over Dracula. Think about it, Pyris. The blood of a god wouldn't just extend the lifespan of any being—it would elevate their bloodline to its peak form. It could even unlock hidden potential beyond that.
A true solution to what plagues the vampire Emperor.] She paused, letting the gravity of her words sink in.
Pyris listened, his mind racing. Vampires and other races had long sought the ultimate bloodline enhancement, something that could make them close to immortal but vampire... without the drawbacks of their cursed nature. God's blood could perhaps do that.
It wouldn't grant them true immortality, but it would give them more than enough. Thousands of years added to their lifespan.
And if Dracula could be offered this... Pyris knew it would be something he couldn't refuse. But the Blood Chalice—that was a key component for vampires as for other races, Pyris knew it wasn't as simple as god's blood, reason?
Lia continued, [The best part is, only vampires can ingest the blood of a god without turning to ash. Their physiology allows them to handle it. This is the key to getting what you need.]
But if the blood of a god could help the vampires significantly like that, why had no one or any god ever attempted it? The answer was simple, as Lia had mentioned—the Blood Chalice. It was a relic lost to time, a forgotten artifact whose whereabouts were unknown even to the gods.
No one knew even the gods, where it could be found, and since its only purpose was to elevate vampires to greater power, the gods were reluctant to seek it out or even consider its existence.
Now that they already had one vampire god in their ranks, the idea of creating another would only disrupt the delicate balance and peace they had painstakingly worked to preserve over eons.
The Blood Chalice did indeed exist, but its location remained shrouded in mystery. Perhaps those who were aware of its presence chose to keep it hidden, or maybe they didn't fully comprehend its true purpose and unimaginable potential!

Pyris's fingers tapped on the desk in thought. One stone to kill two birds. Vampires could ingest the blood, and with the Blood Chalice, it would not only extend their lifespan but heighten their power, reaching levels that would make even Dracula hesitant to resist.
He could use this as the perfect offer to drain Dracula's loyalty away from Silas but also give him leverage over Dracula.
He frowned, thinking it through. The Fallen Ones were capable of ingesting god's blood too before, but not anymore—since their fall, the blood of gods had become poisonous to them.
Vampires, however, were different.
"This could work…" Pyris muttered, leaning forward as the weight of the opportunity unfolded before him. His mind now fully locked onto the possibilities. It wasn't just about isolating Silas from Dracula anymore; this was about offering Dracula something no one else could.
If Pyris could pull this off, Dracula would bend to his will, and in turn, Silas would be left with nothing.
But there was still the issue of finding god's blood. That wouldn't be easy.
Yet, what he didn't realize were the deeper mysteries surrounding the Blood Chalice—an treasure so elusive that even the gods themselves had forgotten much about it.
The Blood Chalice was said to have the power to amplify the essence of vampires with the use of the godly blood, making it a crucial key to unlocking immense power for any vampire lucky enough to obtain it.
However, without knowledge of its location or understanding of its true potential, finding the chalice remained an enigma even to those who had heard whispers of its existence.
