A database that Achilles and Rose were kept out of so far as Luna nodded with confidence at Selene's words.
"I am not the only Advanced Human who received the Inheritance of an Ancient Human from the Catacombs that came with knowledge from the Ancient Times that gives us a chance to prepare for what is coming. The other Colony Cities should have their own as at this moment, I can not be too sure of their allegiances!"
Her face carried a chilling light as she read the documents she pulled up on the rare Ancient Physiologies relating to Mythical Birds.
"The Ancient Times were tumultuous. The capabilities of ancient ones are terrifying, with many moving with their own aims. Some who present as allies may actually be enemies as if he include everything in the database and it turns out enemies have access to it, we will not have any cards to play. This Achilles and Rose…may just be the biggest cards we have as we will continue to keep them away from the gazes of others. Remember, Selene, dealing with anything relating to Ancient Times means thinking of multiple possible scenarios and possibilities. Those who do not proceed carefully…will perish!"
Her words were heavy as Selene nodded.
"Among the two of them, which one is the most prized one?"
She asked as she looked between Rose and Achilles in the still frames.
"Is that even a question?"
Luna did not even look back as she continued reading a certain document, her voice coming out calmly.
"One ate up an entire Aeonic Evolutius Vein Core and still did not awaken his Physiology even now. The other seems to have been induced in his presence to attain her Ethereal Physiology when she was nowhere close at the time she left him. What changed between when they were here and there? The only constant remains him. Achilles…Achilles Maxwell!"
Luna had a fevered gaze as her eyes arrived under the mention of Phoenixes in her document.
She knew the world was rapidly changing.
She was trying to stay ahead of this change and make sure that entire Colony Cities did not get decimated in the process!
Away from the Fort Cape of Hope.
In another section of the Colony City of Neon, through the Catacomb Entrance #3 very few could go into.
Only a number higher than the one that Achilles and Rose entered, and yet its danger still remained high only Peak Meridian Transformation Advanced Humans entered here!
Past its crimson portal and many winding cavernous paths of the Catacombs, a unique scene could be seen inside at this moment.
The figure of a naked humanoid woman stood around splatters of blood, her hair silver as it draped past her shoulders and even covered her smooth behind.
Her eyes pulsed with a crimson light of enticement as her body had 81 dazzling Meridians flashing gorgeously, multiple stars swirling above her head as she touched her sharp canines while looking at the Team of 7 Peak Meridian Transformation Advanced Humans who looked like dried corpses at this moment.
"This body of the Great Empusa has recovered…barely 3% of my power? Anh, I need higher quality Blood! You all tasted like absolute trash even when I'm this hungry!"
Her visage was enticing as she looked at the bodies she had drained every drop of blood from.
"Oh well…" Her crimson eyes shone as she pointed out 7 times, 7 crimson gold drops of blood forming around her as they shot into the bodies of the Peak Meridian Transformation Advanced Humans and caused the corpses to tremble many times over.
Life returned to their dead gray skin, becoming even more vibrant than ever as they rose up while grasping for breath!
Their throats felt dry.
They held a deep sense of unsatiable hunger within them!
Their eyes flashed with a hidden crimson light as they looked towards their Master, who looked back at each of them with a smile.
"Come, my children, share your memories with me. What lies above? How much blood can I feast on?"
An enamored Peak Meridian Transformation Advanced Humans walked towards the Great Empusa, offering her neck with reverence as Empusa bit into it again, but she did not drink the Vampyric Blood at this moment.
She drank the memories running across this body as she moaned.
"Ah…Neon? Colony Cities? Tech…nology?" She learned of all the new things that had bloomed since her slumber, and she couldn't help but smile.
"A population of a few million in such a small space… Anh!"
She couldn't help but lick her lips.
There were countless blood bags above, and they were all just waiting for her.
"Haha, this will be fun. Come, my children, we have a city full of blood bags to stand tall over!"
A terrifying enemy rose from the depths of the Catacombs and made its way above.
Around the same time.
Past the massive bronze Catacomb Entrance #1 that was surrounded by a massive Armored Fortress.
Two Minor Ethereal Physiology Masters from the Golden Trading Company were fighting against a massive giant Worm Behemoth that was in its last death throes, its massive bronze body falling down around a destroyed forest in an expansive cavernous space!
The Ethereal Physiology Masters, a man and a woman adorned in Golden Evolutius Armaments, breathed a sigh of relief as the woman with dark hair looked towards the middle aged man and smiled.
"With this, another Behemoth falls to us, Niara and Neiman! We-…NEIMAN!"
She had been speaking casually, but she saw a flash of light surge from behind the fallen Worm Behemoth that was far too quick, this light smashing and…sinking into the body of the Minor Ethereal Physiology Master as his Physiology buzzed while he roared out!
"The fuck was that?!"
He looked around in shock for the attacker but found absolutely nothing as in the next moment…
He clutched his body as…something was moving within.
"Neiman!" The other Ethereal Physiology Master screamed out in shock, her hands shooting out a golden beam of a healing light on him that did absolutely nothing.
Neiman clutched his body that felt immense pain, ripping off his armament and looking at his body that showed…
A long, multicolored worm like thing pulsing inside of his Meridians.
It spread throughout his meridians as if it were making them its home, with Neiman slowly losing control of his upper limbs as the worm covered his hands and chest already.
It went towards his brain at this moment as in sheer horror and fear, he roared out while pushing his sister away.
He was rapidly losing feeling and control as he thought he was pushing his sister away, but he had actually held her down as if his hands were metal clamps!
"Neiman…?" She asked with absolute terror in her eyes as in the next moment, she saw the mouth of her brother opening wide, a multicolored grotesque worm like think coming out of it as his hands pried her mouth open, and this worm shot into her mouth and surged directly into the meridians in her brain!
An immense silence reigned thereafter as the bodies of two Ethereal Physiology Masters became still, their Meridians becoming occupied by pulsing multicolored worms as above their heads, their single illusory stars soon began to increase in number.
At the same time, a chant could be heard as, from behind the dead Worm Behemoth; other small multicolored worms wriggled out.
"Leucochloridium…Leucochloridium! Leucochloridium!"
