He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

If Dracula fails and all the vampires die, their combined wealth will cause the biggest financial crisis in history, leading to countless deaths.

If things get worse, a world war might even break out.

To avoid this situation, we should unite the powers of governments worldwide to force humanity to abolish their wealth.

"It's not that easy!"

Another member of parliament frowned and said, "Global finance is built on the credit of countries. If such means are used, it will cause a crisis of confidence, which will lead to the collapse of the foundation, and the result will be even worse."

"That depends on your methods!"

Fury shrugged helplessly and said, "We're already exhausted just dealing with these non-humans, and there's really nothing we can do about it."

"...We understand."

After a moment of silence, the five representatives took a deep breath and said, "We will do our best to minimize the losses, and you must risk your lives for me."

"That's natural."

Fury gave them a deep look, then turned and left.

……

Dracula's City.

In the throne room.

This hall, with its thousand-year history, was now equipped with a modern television screen, broadcasting Vlad III's declaration to the world.

"Ha ha……"

Dracula's face was grim, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. "Imitations of Dracula keep popping up, trying to destroy our Night Clan. Heh... It seems we've truly been dormant for too long, letting the world completely forget our terror!"

"This proves that Father's plan back then was very successful!"

Gassner replied respectfully, "Showing weakness to the enemy will inevitably lead to being looked down upon. As long as we defeat those petty villains, everything will be fine."

Upon hearing this, Dracula felt much better.

"That's true, but if you pretend to be weak too much, you'll be slaughtered like a pig. You have to show your strength from time to time."

"What should we do?"

"Slay these two imposters of Dracula before the world's eyes!"

……

Kama Taj.

outside the hall.

Gu Yi sat at a low table, cracking sunflower seeds. On the table was a tablet computer showing a live stream of the Ares Square.

Hawke, sitting on the other side, scoffed, "These vampires are so weak!"

Gu Yi glanced at it, then looked back at the tablet's live stream and asked, "Do you have vampires over there too?"

Of course!

Hawke raised his pink pig nose and said smugly, "Meliodas and Ban once told me that one of their missions was to eliminate a vampire who had broken the seal. That battle turned the entire city into ruins."

"Then their skill level is not good enough."

Gu Yi cracked sunflower seeds and said nonchalantly.

"What did you say?"

Hawke was displeased and loudly questioned, "Why not?"

"Aren't they paladins who protect the kingdom?"

The Ancient One said, "As paladins who protect the country, they should protect the lives and property of the people, but instead they destroyed the city."

"But they also eliminated the evil vampires!"

"That's why I say their skill level is not good."

"They're just not good at protecting."

"Isn't that just a lack of skill?"

"Your mom makes it sound so easy, but how about you?"

Hawke exploded, yelling, "If you're so powerful, why have you kept me under house arrest by your side all this time?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi was stunned.

But he quickly returned to normal and frankly said, "My skill level isn't good either."

If she possessed the power to easily suppress otherworldly demons or completely seal off the passage between otherworldly dimensions and Earth, she wouldn't need to constantly monitor dimensional space like she does now.

……

Asgard.

Council Hall.

Heimdall is explaining to Odin the strange occurrences that have taken place in Midgard during this time, involving the "travelers."

"I should have reported this to you sooner."

Heimdall said, "But because there had been occasional visits from other time periods in the past, we didn't pay attention until recently when there were frequent visits from time periods, and then we realized the seriousness of the matter."

"Time traveler..."

Odin sat on his throne, his eyes deep in thought.

After a moment, he asked, "Have you observed any natural fluctuations in space?"

"……No."

Heimdall thought carefully for a while and replied affirmatively.

"So it was caused by human intervention?"

"I have not observed any humans involved in this event..."

"It could also have been sent from another world."

"But many of these time travelers come from different worlds, and even those from the same world often encountered accidents together and traveled here together."

"Screw the time travelers!"

After several conjectures were overturned, Odin, who was already preoccupied, became impatient.

"They're just a few time travelers, not some major crisis. Sending a few people to investigate is enough. There's no need to bother me."

"Yes, my Heavenly Father!"

Heimdall accepted the order and took his leave.

……

War God Square.

Upon hearing Vlad III's oath, the square fell silent once more, but then erupted into a thunderous roar.

They didn't know what the relationship was between vampires and humans, only that vampires were dark creatures that fed on human blood.

They are enemies of humanity and God.

Therefore, upon hearing Vlad III's oath, they all excitedly shouted and cheered.

"Kill them!"

"Kill the vampire!"

"Kill all these disgusting creatures!"

Hearing the cheers and support from the people, Vlad III also smiled.

He hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.

"Since people trust me, I will not fail them!" Vlad looked at Hongdao Raizo and the others—as he made his announcement to the world, they had rescued several of their entangled companions, and their powerful vitality had largely healed their wounds.

But Vlad III paid no attention.

If you can string them together once, you can string them together twice, three times, or even countless times.

He was fearless, his spear pointing horizontally.

"To fulfill our vows, let's start with the five of you!"

"How arrogant!"

The Visigoth brandished his chain and charged forward like a heavily armored tank, each step causing the ground to tremble.

But before him, Yoru arrived first.

Her top speed is the fastest among the five, and the difference is significant.

But the first attack came from Ghost Blade.

He flicked his gray longsword, and thick mist billowed out, as the undead roared and writhed, charging forward with howls.

Vlad III stomped his spear.

Countless dark red stakes burst from the ground, tearing through the gray mist, piercing the undead corpses inside, and hanging them up.

Night Eyes arrived, sweeping across with his long staff.

Vlad III gave a light kick with his shin, and the butt of his spear swung out.

"boom!"

The clash of staffs and spears created a shockwave, the powerful force sending Ye Mu flying.

Vlad III, however, remained motionless.

Without even looking, he caught the splinter of the gun, switched to holding it with both hands, and aimed the gun tip at Ye Mu, who was flying backwards, the tip of the gun flashing coldly.

"Watch out, Night Eye!"

Seemingly sensing the danger to his companion, Kodo Raizo, who was about to catch up with his companion and attack Vlad, changed direction and slashed at Yome with his sword.

Thunderclouds rolled across the sky, and pillars of blood-red lightning struck down.

However, Vlad III did not throw the spear, and the anticipated lightning bolt naturally missed its mark. Vlad III's attack, on the other hand, did not miss.
