From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 100 Even after being dead for so long, he is still protecting his country!

Vlad III was indeed a formidable figure; this invulnerable monster could take your life with a wave of his hand.

And now, he's inviting you to join them and become a member of this powerful life force—what an immense temptation that is!

Many people stood still, and surprisingly, they began to consider the pros and cons of this matter.

Following a vampire doesn't seem like a bad idea... After all, it's the temptation of immortality. And if you become one of them, they certainly won't kill you, right?
Many people thought the same way, so they slowly walked towards the other person.

"Slap!" Just then, Barron felt a sharp pain on his face, which surprised him. "Mr. Chris, what happened to you..."

Chris was there just now.

Chris slapped Gao, who was standing next to him, again. "Mr. Barron, haven't you noticed that you've already walked dozens of meters forward from where we are standing?"

Upon hearing this, Barron realized that they were no longer at their previous observation post, but were moving towards the "vampire" like the surrounding crowd.

"What's wrong with me?" Gao also realized what was happening and asked Chris, somewhat confused.

Chris pulled them back, saying, "You've all been fooled by this monster. Look at them, they're lining up in front of the vampires!"

The two then realized something was wrong; beside them was a crowd of people marching toward Vlad III in a daze.

These people were just shooting at them, but now they've all become their playthings.

Those closest to the other side, such as the new leader of the Johnson family, had already turned into a dried corpse and lay at the other side's feet!

Joining him, immortality—it's all a lie. This monster is just feeding on these people, draining them dry.

Adding to what they just did, if it weren't for Chris, they would have joined the queue with these people and become part of the buffet.

"Don't disturb him, I have an idea!" Seeing the two of them still looking over, Chris quickly pulled them back. "Do you remember where Tim Dutton's car is?"

Upon hearing this, Gao realized what was happening. "You want to retrieve Lincoln's belongings?"

“Yes!” Chris nodded firmly. “Since President Lincoln left these things behind, there must be a deeper meaning to it. We can’t run away now, so we might as well follow him, find those things, and give it a shot!”

If they were to leave the crowd or drive away, they would be extremely conspicuous against the backdrop of this group of misled people.

Given the fighting prowess Vlad III just displayed, they would probably be wiped out in a second.

Chris's idea is actually quite reasonable. The relics left by Lincoln must have a deeper meaning, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to suppress this vampire for so many years. We should give it a try!
The three of them walked quietly forward with the crowd, watching the vampire suck people dry one by one as if he were eating at a buffet, and felt an indescribable fear.

They could see that the heads of various families and the elders were the first to line up, just as the other party had said, darkness and malice were what he liked to eat the most.

He is devouring the elderly members of these families, consuming the darkest among them first!

But if they keep eating at this rate, it will eventually be their turn, so they need to step up their game!
The three of them quickly reached the vicinity of the car. Under Vlad III's control, the original guards had disappeared, leaving only a lone and solitary vehicle.

Barron opened the car door, Gao picked up the safe, and Chris grabbed the silver axe that had been placed on the back seat. The three worked together seamlessly to retrieve Lincoln's belongings.

The parchment scroll and compass had been taken away; all that remained in their possession were the silver mask, the silver-plated cane, and the uncontrollable silver battle axe.

Just as the three men picked up these items, Vlad III, who had been enjoying his "buffet" meal, suddenly looked up!

"Oh, there are three little mice that I overlooked!"

He ignored the people being manipulated, stood up abruptly, flapped his wings, and flew to the three of them.

The three men, holding Lincoln's belongings, stared at the man with extreme tension, feeling as if their hearts had stopped beating!

They looked at each other, as if asking their teammates what to do now.
There was no answer, only Vlad III's words, "Hmm... to be able to resist my blood magic, it seems there are some among you who are truly suitable to become my descendants!"

"How about stepping forward voluntarily? I'll give you a spot in the Embrace, I'll make you a marquis, and you'll become my heir and bloodline!" He was genuinely interested in that "human" he couldn't influence, which meant the other party had extraordinary talent.

Darkness and evil can only serve as resources, but talent can secure a future.

Upon hearing this, Baron and Gao looked at Chris with some worry. This was a promise from the "original vampire," a marquisate, and a chance for immortality. They were a little afraid that he would agree.

However, Chris is clearly not that kind of person. His ancestor was Lincoln, the man who fought against the creatures of darkness to the very end. How could he possibly embrace the darkness?
Chris gripped his axe tightly and shouted, "I can never associate with a monster like you! My blood forbids me! For the glory of Abraham!"

This remark naturally provoked Vlad III's disdain. He looked at the man with a mocking expression, "You think this is still the era of divine intervention? It's long gone. The Abraham you speak of can't save your life!"

He waved his hand, and crimson energy condensed in front of him, about to squeeze the three of them into "blood drinks".

But at that moment, Gao, who had heard the "glory of Abraham," suddenly realized what was happening and shouted:
"Despicable thief of immortality!"

The bloodstained tribe recorded on Sumerian clay tablets,

When the rain of sulfurous fire poured into Tecumseh's curse—

"The Hinge of Hell at the Feet of the Son of Man"

I have crushed your false coffins of immortality!

This quote still comes from Professor Thomas's "Prayer to Expel the Abyss," specifically the section about vampires!
Upon hearing this, Vlad III's expression immediately changed. He abruptly dispersed the crimson energy and glared at Gao with intense anger. "You want to use this kind of prayer to exorcise me? How dare you? Where do you get the courage?"

“Of course, it was the Lord who gave him the courage!” A calm yet powerful voice rang in their ears. “You’re still all bark and no bite, Vlad!”

A strong hand suddenly grabbed the axe from Chris's hand, while his other hand took the mask from Barron's hand.

"Taking my things will provide you with protection, and you've done a good job in that regard!" the man said with a smile, his face appearing before the three, causing their pupils to dilate!
This face, this figure, this suit… this…

They've been dealing with this person for the past two days, so how could they not be familiar with him?

"Mr. Lincoln?" the three exclaimed at the same time, then released what they were holding.

Lincoln nodded slightly. "Time is limited, so I won't say any more. Let's deal with this troublesome guy first!"

As he spoke, he brandished the axe in his hand, drawing a perfect arc in front of him, and smiled as he touched the axe, saying, "Long time no see, old buddy! This time, we're still together!"

The axe emitted a faint light, as if in response to his words.

After saying this, Lincoln put on a silver mask, held an axe in both hands, and faced Vlad III. "Walachia... or rather Vlad, you've finally woken up!"

“Abraham Lincoln!” Vlad III gritted his teeth and said viciously, “You’re dead! It’s been 160 years! Why have you come back? Why have you come down from your heavenly position?”

Upon hearing this, Lincoln looked around with some emotion, at the people who were being controlled, and at this world that was completely different from the one he had lived in "life," and said softly, "Because this is the land where I was born! This is my country, the place I love so deeply!"

A powerful force burst forth from his body, allowing him to leap into the air and swing his axe at Vlad III!
"I will not allow a monster like you to lay a foothold on this beautiful country!"

"Bang!" A terrifying impact exploded from their collision, the force of which blew the three of them away and also snapped some of the others who were still confused out of their daze!

They looked around in confusion, feeling as if they had just had a short dream in which they saw many people die.

Then they actually witnessed such a death in reality, and the shock and horror in their eyes were beyond words.

They quickly spotted the battle in mid-air and recognized the man with the axe, muttering to themselves, "Am I dreaming? Why am I seeing President Lincoln fighting vampires?"

“You’re not dreaming, this is reality!” Baron said softly, his eyes filled with utmost reverence. “Even after being dead for so long, he is still protecting his country!”
