From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 435 Bloodline Prince

"How come you weren't killed by him?"

Will Berg picked up a handkerchief from the table and slowly wiped the blood from his hands and face, asking a dangerous question in a nonchalant tone.

Ke Yiming's palms were sweating. His mind raced as he recalled his account to the Creator Organization. After confirming there were no flaws, he replied:

"The skeletal army collapsed quickly. The moment the Skeleton Lord died, all the skeletons lost their ability to move."

"I sensed something was wrong and fled immediately. The demons who couldn't escape were either killed or captured."

"Actually, I didn't go near the core battlefield when the war started. After all, I didn't receive a mission from the Abyss side. Even though the Skeleton Lord won, I didn't get any divine energy rewards, so my willingness to participate in the war wasn't strong."

"is it?"

Will Berg looked at Ke Yiming with great interest and asked another question: "Where is your fourth job advancement? Show it to us."

Ke Yiming paused for a moment, then spread his hands and explained, "There aren't any left."

"Why not?"

Will Berg maintained a half-smile on his face, which made Ke Yiming unable to fathom his thoughts.

After all, we were dealing with a mentally ill patient, someone most people couldn't see through.

Ke Yiming took a deep breath and replied, "That fourth-tier class was granted by a scythe, which was given to him by the Skeleton Monarch. Later, Lu Heng took it away in Xiling City. After that, the class was gone. I guess it has fallen into the hands of Lu Heng or his teammates."

In fact.

Three days ago, he still had this rank, but suddenly one day the rank disappeared.

This made him panic for a while, and he even wanted to contact Lu Heng to ask why.

He only knew that the [Death Agent] class had disappeared, but he didn't know why it had disappeared.

In fact, this rank had already disappeared from him three or four times, so it wouldn't be surprising if it were taken away again.

"is it?"

Will Berger smirked and placed his hand on Ke Yiming's shoulder.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying energy surged within his body.

Out of the corner of his eye, Ke Yiming saw a blood-red light shining in Will Berg's eyes.

The next instant, Will Berg suddenly spread his arms and floated into the air, with a pair of wings made of blood spreading out from behind him.

A terrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire hall.

At that moment, Will Berg seemed to transform into a blood prince, tilting his head back and breathing in the surrounding stench of blood.

The blood that flowed onto the ground began to form tiny droplets, which floated up and converged towards his body, merging into it.

In a matter of moments, the dead butler had become a shriveled corpse; the whole process was horrific.

Ke Yiming broke out in a cold sweat because he sensed the powerful aura emanating from Will Berg, which was even stronger than his own.

These were the top 10 Creator members with the strongest auras he had ever seen.

In fact.

The top 10 core members he knew were basically heads of chaebol families who controlled enormous wealth.

These people represent the interests of a family, each of whom is incredibly wealthy.

The power these people wield cannot be measured by mere combat strength.

They may control an entire organization of superhuman mercenaries, possessing the power to influence the world.

Because they possess immense wealth, these individuals are not prone to taking risks. When acquiring extraordinary power, they primarily focus on defense and tend to stay below the recruitment threshold.

However, the number 7 Will Berg in front of him has clearly exceeded the draft line, and it can even be said that he has peak combat power.

If Ke Yiming had a fourth job advancement, he might have been able to contend with him, but now that he's lost his fourth job advancement, he's no match for him in a one-on-one fight.

Therefore, after seeing Will Berg transform, Ke Yiming did not react other than showing a surprised expression on his face.

Will Berg moved in front of Ke Yiming, placed his palm on his head, and roared, "Servant of blood, do you hear my call?"

There was no response. Ke Yiming didn't react at all, but he knew what Will Berg was doing.

This is a call for the [Death Agent] class.

The 【Death Agent】class is obtained through blood sacrifice, so to the higher-ups, they are servants of blood.

Ke Yiming let out a breath and said, "The class system is really gone."

Will Berg confirmed that the [Death Agent] did not exist. He slowly withdrew his aura, landed on the ground, and the red light in his eyes, the blood-red wings on his back, and the terrifying aura emanating from his body all disappeared.

He reverted to his usual impeccably dressed financier appearance, and as if he had just finished eating, he exhaled and said:
"You must be the highest-grade blood I have ever tasted."

"what?"

Ke Yiming was stunned for a moment, not understanding what it meant.

Will Berg sneered, "Do you think you can fool me? You really didn't see the Skeleton Lord die in battle because... you were locked up in the dungeon the whole time!"

When Ke Yiming heard this, it was as if a nuclear bomb had been thrown into his head, and his brain was blown to bits.

Will Berg remained calm and ordered a glass of red wine to be brought in—a glass of red wine as red as blood. After taking a sip, he poured it onto the butler's corpse and lamented, "Even red wine has no taste anymore."

Ke Yiming looked around, pondering how to escape from here.

After Will Berg poured out the last drop, he said sarcastically, "Don't even think about escaping. You should be thinking about how to beg me to let you live, like a slave."

Ke Yiming was somewhat unwilling. In order to survive, he used all his strength to submit to the victor, to go undercover, to provide intelligence, and to do anything.

The secret was eventually discovered.

He felt desperate, but at the same time, he also saw a glimmer of hope for survival.

The person in front of him, the head of the Berg family, had not sent someone to kill him, but rather summoned him for questioning, indicating that there was still a chance for negotiation.

He considered taking action, but since the other party dared to call him over, they must have the ability to kill him.

Moreover, the aura of a bloodline prince that Will Berg had just released made him realize that he was no match for this lunatic in front of him.

"What do you want me to do?" Ke Yiming knew that his fate was no longer in his own hands, and he had no choice but to submit.

Will Berg covered his forehead and laughed maniacally for three minutes before slowly regaining his calm and gentlemanly demeanor. He then raised his hand, released a spray of blood, and struck Ke Yiming.

Ke Yiming instinctively wanted to dodge, but seeing Will Berg's bloodshot pupils, he could only choose to close his eyes.

The blood turned into two venomous fangs, which were driven into his neck.

He felt a third of his blood being drained, his heart was racing, and his blood and energy couldn't support his body. He knelt down on one knee, supporting himself with his hands on the ground, and gasped for breath.

A moment later, he noticed that a special class had appeared on his character panel.

[Class: Blood Servant (Special)]

[Blood Servant (Special): A blood servant bestowed with bloodline by a Bloodline Prince, becoming the Prince's ally. Disobeying orders will be subject to the most severe punishment.]

After turning Ke Yiming into a blood slave, Will Berg said with a cold gaze, "Now tell me the truth."

Ke Yiming's eyes were bloodshot, and a force from the depths of his soul controlled him. Whenever he tried to resist, he would feel a soul-tearing pain.

Not only that, but his blood would also surge, and if he continued to resist, his blood would even burst out of his veins, killing him instantly. He only tried to resist for three seconds before realizing the power of this special class, and he lowered his head and replied, "Yes, I was captured by Lu Heng and imprisoned in the elven dungeon."

"and then?"

"After that, he asked me to come back and infiltrate the organization to be his inside man."

What have you done for him?

"They only gave us intelligence."

"What information?"

"...Information regarding the Leiden City Laboratory and the Tree of Life Vine."

"Lu Heng wants the Tree of Life Vine?"

"Yes, the female members of his team made a promise to the elves: to help them find the Tree of Life."

When does Lu Heng plan to make his move?

"Well... I don't know. I was just providing information and I'm not qualified to ask about his decision."

"Then what value do you have?" Will Berger realized that he could not get any information about Lu Heng from Ke Yiming. His eyes turned cold and he reached out and pressed his hand on Ke Yiming's head.

Ke Yiming's heart was racing, and he quickly said, "I have one more piece of information to provide."

"Say!"

“My ‘Death Agent’ class disappeared three days ago. It must have been Lu Heng or his rival who took it. Whoever offers blood as a sacrifice to the Blood Scythe can take the class.”

Will Berger narrowed his eyes upon hearing this information.

Will Berg is the human who knows the secret of the [Death Agent] class best.

Because this blood-stained scythe is closely related to the Bloodline Clan.

This can be determined from the fact that the sickle requires a blood sacrifice.

Will Berger's face lit up with interest after hearing the news.

Because he has now become a bloodline prince and has the power to control the [Death Agent].

This is also why he was able to tell whether Ke Yiming possessed the [Death Agent] class.

In other words, if Lu Heng or his teammates obtain the [Death Agent] class, they can use this class to control that person.

However, there is a limit to the control distance; it is impossible to sense the presence of the Blood Scythe across half of Blue Star.

Upon hearing this information, Will Berg began to ponder, sometimes letting out eerie laughter, and at other times becoming as sinister as a devil.

Ke Yiming stood up, trying his best to remain silent, worried that the mentally ill person would have another episode.

Having paid the price of becoming a blood slave, they finally survived this round.

He didn't know when the next dead end would come, so he could only take it one step at a time.

At this point, he wasn't completely without a way out.

He didn't understand all the characteristics of the Blood Servant, but judging from the control effect, he should be able to be freed if the Blood Master died.

In other words, if Will Berg dies, he still has a chance to regain his freedom.

Of course, he couldn't take action himself, so he could only hope that others would do the work.

He didn't even dare to think about it too much, fearing that Will Berg could control him through blood and see his thoughts.

While Will Berg was asking him for information, he was also analyzing Will Berg's situation.

Will Berg just demonstrated the bloodline of a Blood Prince, a bloodline that is certainly not innate but can only come from the Bloodline race.

The Bloodline race is a very large race in the Abyss world, and it is spread across multiple worlds and continues to expand.

The Bloodline race once occupied Blackrock City, the capital of the Dark Iron dwarves, and also attacked Klos, the capital of the Elves.

Encountering bloodline demons in the Abyss is a common occurrence.

As for Will Berg's bloodline as a prince, it must have come from the bloodline race, but how he obtained it is difficult to speculate.

Based on previously known information, the bloodline of a prince is the highest bloodline among the bloodline race, second only to the bloodline demon king, and cannot be obtained through normal means.

Will Berg must have paid a huge price to obtain this bloodline.

Ke Yiming also knew why Will Berger would go to great lengths to acquire this bloodline.

Because the Berg family has a history of inbreeding for many generations, the family has a variety of genetic diseases, especially mental illnesses.

There are rumors that many generations of the Berg family heads suffered from mental illness and that most of them did not live past fifty.

Will Berg is over fifty years old, and given his family's circumstances, he doesn't have many years left to live.

Clearly, obtaining the bloodline of a prince would improve his physical condition and allow him to live longer.

It's not just about the bloodline of princes; the Berg family's investment in genetics labs and research on the Tree of Life is all for the purpose of survival.

……

at the same time.

In front of a three-story building on the outskirts of Leiden.

Lu Heng's team of four had arrived here and checked the time with the commander who remained at the Longwei base before preparing to launch their operation.

This operation will be carried out simultaneously in seven locations around the world, targeting three laboratories and four mercenary groups controlled by the Creator Organization.

The scheduled operation time is 10 PM.

There are only three minutes left before the operation begins.

Lu Heng glanced at Lin Zeyu and asked, "Is the Eye of the Void set up?"

"I've already set up the surveillance system. The area within a three-kilometer radius is under my monitoring," Lin Zeyu confirmed, giving a thumbs-up.

"Then let's get ready to make our move. Mu Yu, can you sense any energy fluctuations?" Lu Heng then looked at Su Mu Yu.

Su Muyu nodded and replied, "No...no! Yes! There are energy fluctuations!"

Her voice was hurried, clearly indicating that something had happened.

"action!"

Lu Heng didn't wait for the last three minutes. He immediately gave the order to move, then entered Shadow Travel mode, went underground, and rushed towards the laboratory.

As soon as he entered the underground area, Lu Heng knew why energy fluctuations were occurring.

Because the entire laboratory was engulfed in flames, everything was burning, and experimental equipment, documents, and everything else were reduced to ashes in the flames.

Upon seeing this, Lu Heng immediately realized that the news had been leaked.

With the flames so intense, it was difficult to find any useful clues in the laboratory.

Lu Heng pressed the communicator and said, "The news has leaked. All teams are to cease operations and await orders."
