Chapter 1062 A Way Out.
Chapter 1062 A Way Out.
The Ghouls are chasing her thralls everywhere and she can\'t fight them off. She needs help or she will die. In fact, there is one ghoul chasing after the spawn right outside of Danah\'s territory. It is only a matter of time before it gets here. Then it will kill the spawn and go after other spawns wherever they are. The advantage of numbers that she usually wields with impunity is only delaying her death right now.
Danah heard everything and realized how much danger Emperiti was in but that only made her affirm her decision not to help. If a Primogenitor like Emperiti with millions of bodies is already having trouble with the ghouls, then she with a single body shouldn\'t avoid trouble at all cost.
She said, "Watch this."
Then she raised her large arm and turned her hand into a fist. That fist fell like a hammer on the ghoul. The hit shattered its skull and flattened it into the ground. She didn\'t stop there. She stood up from her throne and began to pummel the flattened Ghoul.
Her two fists smashed the Ghoul again and again with so much force that the ground was shaking. She broke the ground beneath them with the force of the impacts. The two of them began to fall down the earth as it caved in beneath them. Her fists pulverized the rocky ground beneath them. It kicked up a lot of dust and caused cracks to spread throughout the floor of the hall.
Her Dukes looked on with slight apprehension and fear. They will survive the collapse of the hall but they don\'t want Danah to collapse it on them. Fortunately, she stopped short of bringing the hall down on everyone.
Danah jumped out of the hole that she dug. She returned to her throne and sat on it. The pit that she dug is dusty but everyone could see what is happening within it. The Ghoul has been shattered. Its body has broken apart like porcelain. The shards have been further broken into dust. But that state didn\'t last long after she stopped punching it.
The pieces of the ghoul shot together like elastic rubber. And the Ghoul was whole again. It warped to Danah again to resume its futile attempt at killing her. She used one arm to block its advance so the stalemate continued.
Danah simply sighed. "I can\'t help you. You can see that for yourself. Only Drastoic and Secula can help you. But they are guarding the plane portal. They won\'t come to rescue you."
What she didn\'t say but wanted to say is that, instead of using Drastoic and Secula to help them, the Supreme of Carnage is using them to block them from leaving the plane.
Ragnarok has succeeded in making the plane a living hell for the Vampires. The Vampires want to leave too but CARNAGE has refused to let anyone out. It barricaded the plane mostly because it had to cut off external support for the plane.
A powerful plane like the Lumen plane has produced a lot of Origin gods. If those Origin gods are allowed to assist the plane, then the plane will never fall to the Vampires. If CARNAGE is to use the Vampires to weaken the Will of the plane by spreading the plague of Vampirism, then no one must interfere.
CARNAGE has important reasons for not allowing anyone to leave. The most important reason is so that Ragnarok, who has offended it severely, will not be able to weasel his way out of the plane. The hatred of the Supreme of Carnage for Ragnarok is understandable, but Danah\'s life is at risk so she is not in agreement with the blockade. But she won\'t say so.
Emperiti asked with a tone full of desperation, "What do I do?"
"I advise you to run to Drastoic and Secula at the planar portal. That\'s what we did the last time. We rushed to the surface. We made the Ghouls the problem of the wood elves. They had to help us then."
"So we need the help of their origin gods or we are doomed," Emperiti said with a shake of her head. "I doubt they will help us after we betrayed them last time."
Danah insisted. "Yes, we need their help and we are at their mercy. But they have to help us no matter our differences. We may have backstabbed them after they helped us seal the ghouls last time, but they are truly immortal. They didn\'t die permanently so they will get over the betrayal. Besides, they have to get over it and help us again. If they don\'t, then the ghouls will destroy every living thing in order to starve us."
Emperiti sighed. "I will be somewhat safe if they could sacrifice one of their Origin gods to allow me to advance. I might even be able to fight the ghouls with my superior numbers but I doubt they will help me."
Danah was surprised. "Are you certain that you can hold off the ghouls if you become a Monarch?"
"Yes, I am. Once I fuse completely with the heart of Carnage, then I won\'t have a vulnerable body and my thralls will be immune to the ghouls just like any Primogenitor. I won\'t be able to destroy them but I am certain that I will be able to hold them back. After all, I have more thralls than them."
Danah was impressed. "This is good. This is a solution that we can work on."
She became excited at the prospect of a solution. She called the other Primogenitors and informed them of what Emperiti said. It turned out that it is not news to them. Emperiti had informed them of the possibility but they are not certain it will work.
Emperiti wasn\'t alive during the first purge of the ghouls so they are not certain she will be able to hold off the ghouls and she also doesn\'t know the full extent of the sacrifices that the Origin gods made to seal the ghouls before they were betrayed by the Vampires.
