I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

After experiencing this space again, Eve's journey to the wonderland is finally coming to an end.

Similar to Istina's side, waiting for her in the small pavilion was also a figure sitting at a small table.

"..."

Raising her eyebrows, she looked at the figure sitting at the small table, shrouded in light. Without hesitation, Eve sat down opposite her, picked up the teacup in front of her, and began to sip it like the other person. The two people at the table maintained a somewhat strange tacit understanding, as if they were very familiar with each other.

“…Creator God?”

Suddenly Eve asked without warning.

Although it was a question, judging from Eve's tone, she was just making a confirmation.

"Um…"

Nodding slightly, the figure shrouded in light finally put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Eve in front of him. However, due to the light covering her, Eve still couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but the other person seemed to smile at her.

"But I'm just a remnant image, without much memory, so I can't answer what Eve wants to ask."

"..."

Well, it was quite a blockage. Eve originally had a lot of questions she wanted to ask the other party, including but not limited to her voice appearing in her dream and what the other party had just said to her in the wonderland.

"Well... you can tell me what you know."

Even though she was facing the God of Creation who created the entire world, Eve still had a casual attitude. She couldn't explain why she was like this, but for some reason, even if she wanted to act respectful in her heart, she couldn't do it at all, as if she was used to facing the other party with this attitude.

And the God of Creation sitting opposite her seemed to be accustomed to her attitude.

But could it be due to her personality? After all, judging by what she has done, the God of Creation seems to be a very gentle deity, deeply loving every life in the world and the world she created.

In conclusion, Eve's casual tone did not cause any displeasure to the other party.

"I'm sorry."

After hearing what Eve said, the God of Creation shook his head helplessly and continued.

"I'm just a shadow in charge of managing this place. I really don't know anything."

"Have we met before?"

There was a strange feeling in Eve's tone when she asked about this. For some reason, the other party seemed to be quite familiar with her, and it felt like she was chatting with an acquaintance.

"Hmm... There is indeed a lingering trace of my scent on Eve. I guess we must have come into contact within the past few months."

"Huh? Within these few months? But haven't you already..."

Eve suddenly stopped talking halfway. Although the other party kept saying that he was just an afterimage, she couldn't just tell him that his real body was probably dead.

"Should he be dead already?"

However, the afterimage of the God of Creation looked unconcerned. He picked up the teacup and took another sip before asking calmly.

"Hmm... I think so..."

Seeing her calm expression, Eve nodded slightly with an embarrassed look on her face.

What’s this? The dead person doesn’t care much, but others find it difficult to speak up?

"I think so. Ever since the connection was suddenly severed a long time ago, this afterimage has never been replenished."

As she spoke, as if to prove her words, her body flickered like a screen with poor signal.

"But didn't you just say that we had contact recently?"

Putting down the teacup in her hand, Eve folded her hands to support her chin, and looked at the figure sitting opposite her with a helpless look in her eyes.

At this time, Eve was almost confused by the other party. She said that she had been dead for a long time, but at the same time she said that she had her scent on her and that she had seen her just a few months ago. What the hell was this?

"I don't know, but there is indeed a tiny bit of aura, a very tiny, very tiny aura, not even the aura of a divine core. As for possible reasons, there are too many, the most likely one is that I am not completely dead yet."

"Um...what does it mean to die completely?"

After hearing what Afterying said, Eve asked with some confusion.

Is it possible that death can be paused halfway through?

"Ah, the kids outside don't know about this anymore, don't they?"

After saying this, Canying coughed lightly and began to explain from the beginning.

"If the core of ordinary life is the core of origin, then the core of the gods is the condensed form called the divine core."

"God's core?"

"It's the one you just got, Eve."

As he spoke, the afterimage raised his hand and projected the mysterious crystal that had entered Eve's body before.

"Oh…huh?"

Eve responded subconsciously, and the next moment she was stunned at the table.

What had she just said? Was that unknown object she'd obtained actually a divine core? If she remembered correctly, it seemed to have penetrated directly into her body?

Uh… since that thing is the core of the god, then she won’t be possessed by the core in the future, right?

"The owner of that divine core has a deep connection with Eve. Please rest assured that she will never do anything bad to Eve, but I cannot reveal the specific details."

"I can't? Don't you know? And how am I related to the gods? They have disappeared long ago, right?"

Faced with Eve's barrage of questions, Afterying gently waved his hand to signal her to be patient, and then began to explain.

"First of all, I do know about the divine core, but I can't tell Eve, otherwise something bad will happen."

As he said this, Canying bowed his head towards Eve apologetically.

"So if I knew, something would happen? But if I didn't know, it could be avoided?"

"Yeah, that's it."

After hearing the other party's answer, Eve had some guesses in her mind. It was probably like what was shown in some movies, if you pretend not to see the other person, the other person won't see you either. Once you notice the other person's existence, the other person can also influence you.

Like you're staring into the abyss, and the abyss is staring back at you? And then you take off your pants...

Ahem, that’s probably what it means.

"Okay, what about the remaining two questions?"

After taking a sip of the cup, Eve asked helplessly.

"..."

Well, feeling the awkward atmosphere in the air, Eve already understood the other party's answer.

"Sorry... I can't answer the second question either..."

"..."

stare--

"Ah, but I can talk about the third question."

Feeling the deep sense of speechlessness revealed in Eve's eyes, Afterying seemed a little embarrassed and quickly answered the part he could say.

"Although the vast majority of gods disappeared at the end of the mythological era, a very small number still remain. Most of them have lost their power. For example, you, Eve, still have the aura of the God of Blood and the God of Elves lingering on you."

"……Aha?"

Eve couldn't count how many times she was shocked in that short time. It was bad enough that a Creator God had contacted her at some point, but where did this God of Blood and Elves come from?!

From what he said, it seemed like even though gods still existed in this world, they were definitely not many. And yet, he had encountered three of them all by himself?!

I'm afraid that the few gods left in this era have all come into contact with me!

"Um...are you sure you're feeling right?"

After thinking for a while, Eve asked somewhat implicitly.

"Yes, there's no mistake. The aura of the divine core is very obvious. Even if I'm just an afterimage, I wouldn't be mistaken."

Facing Eve's question, Afterying nodded with great certainty and replied.

"Can you tell me in detail what that divine core is? Can you tell me this?"

After thinking for a while, Eve felt that if she didn't figure out what the divine core was, she would not be able to have fun anymore.

"Yes, this kind of knowledge is still fine."

As he spoke, the afterimage projected the divine core again.

"Just as everything about life is contained in the Origin Core, everything about the gods is also recorded in the Divine Core. However, the Divine Core is much more stable than the Origin Core and won't be destroyed so easily. As long as the Divine Core remains, the gods can be revived. However, at the end of the Mythological Age, the Divine Cores of most gods were completely destroyed. Only a few racial gods, like the God of the Blood Clan and the God of the Elves, remained, having lost most of their power."

After a pause, the afterimage continued.

"And Eve has a strong aura of the Elf God. We've been together day and night for a long time."

Living together day and night? Elves? The God of Elves? Melchis?!

In just a few words, Eve had already guessed Melchis's identity. But she turned out to be the God of Elves?!

Um... To be honest, with her innocent appearance, Eve really couldn't associate her with a being like a god.

No wonder her mother kept her identity a secret. But why would the elves entrust their own god to her care?!

Since her own mother could recognize the identity of the God of Elves, Eve didn't believe that the Mother of Elves would not be able to recognize him.

§221 Gods

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Looking at Eve's rapidly changing expression, the afterimage of the God of Creation asked curiously while filling Eve's cup with tea.

"Um... I have something to ask. Do gods lose their memories when they die and then revive with their divine cores?"

"Yes, the revival of gods often takes a long time to accumulate. Initially, they will indeed fall into a state of amnesia for a period of time. However, they will protect themselves by making others forget their existence. In this regard, racial gods are also more special. Their resurrection is often accompanied by the wishes of their tribesmen, and they need more contact with people to fully recover."

Making others forget their existence to protect themselves clashed with the power of forgetfulness in Melchis.

And I need more contact with people to recover...

This to a certain extent explains why the elves entrusted Melsis to his care. After all, she was going to travel around the elves at that time, which just happened to meet the requirements.

But Eve still felt something was wrong. After all, the elves themselves could do this kind of thing. Melsis looked like a white elf and would not attract too much attention. The elves themselves could also take her around the tribe.

The most important thing is that she is a legitimate foreigner, not even an ordinary one, but a vampire princess. How could the Mother of Elves just hand over her resurrected god to her to take care of?

In short, Eve's intuition told her that entrusting her to take care of Melchis was definitely not so simple, and there must be some other reason that she did not know yet.

Hmm... let's try to get some clues from this creator god.

Haha, it feels like this trip to the wonderland has brought a lot of benefits, but also a lot of problems.

Especially the part about herself, Eve really couldn't figure out how she was related to so many gods. It was really a tangled mess.

There were already three gods whose names she had come into contact with, and another one whose identity was unknown, but he directly gave her his most important divine core.

No, this thing determines whether you can be revived in the future. Why did you just shove it on yourself like that?! Without even a word of explanation!

If she hadn't just had a conversation with the afterimage of the God of Creation, she probably wouldn't have known what that thing was!

And more importantly, why didn't she, the owner of this body, need consent to insert the divine core into her body? What a complete reversal of power!

"Speaking of which, once a racial deity dies, their resurrection often signifies that the race is about to face a serious crisis."

As if remembering something, the afterimage of the God of Creation suddenly added a sentence.

"Crisis? What kind of crisis?"

"Genocide level?"

"..."

Well, it seems that the elves are about to face a big trouble, but since they already know about Melchis, they must have been prepared.

However, the time range corresponding to this "soon" is a bit too broad. Melchis has been traveling with her for more than half a year, but she has never heard of any crisis encountered by the elves.

Well... now I should see if I can ask something about myself.

Or it could be his own dragon bloodline. After all, this bloodline has the most mysteries in his body.

It just so happens that the last time the dragon clan appeared was before the end of the mythological era. Now it’s the right person to ask. What if she can tell me?
