The System Awakens: Rise of the Champion - Chapter 181

Chapter 181: Chapter 181: The Changed Earth
“How did you guys get here?” Damian asked, looking at his High Humans.

He had created all sixteen of them, and now all of them were here.

It seemed that after waiting for more than three weeks for their king to return to Earth, they grew restless and decided to see for themselves what was keeping the Human King so busy.

Especially the female High Humans, Shiru, Maria, and her seven sisters, who insisted on going to Nightingale themselves, even if it meant putting themselves in danger.

After all, everyone knew how vampires treated humans.

But they had no means to get there, except to buy a transportation card to Nightingale from the System Shop, and each of those cards cost 50,000 gold.

Still, none of them hesitated to spend.

However, unlike what they expected, the noble vampires didn’t attack.

Or rather, when it seemed like they might attack, that’s when they met the Countesses.

The Countesses knew that the Vampire Progenitor was also the Human Progenitor, so they weren’t hostile to the High Humans.

Instead, they brought them to the castle and told them to wait, explaining that their king was having a very intimate discussion with two goddesses.

At first, they were confused, but soon they realized what was meant by intimate discussion.

“My king, we were worried that something had happened to you. That’s why we used transportation cards from the System Shop to get here…” Shiru said.

Damian sighed. “I wasn’t in any danger. And even if I were in danger, do you think you guys could save me, when even I might not be able to save myself? Or do you think I’m not strong enough to take care of myself?”

“No, my lord… we were just concerned, that’s all,” Maria said, lowering her head.

The others lowered their heads as well, wearing nervous expressions.

“It’s alright. I don’t mind your concern,” Damian said before narrowing his eyes. “Come to me, Shiru, Maria.”

Under the piercing gazes of the five Countesses, Shiru and Maria stepped closer to their king and stood before him, their faces blushing.

“Mmm.” Damian gently placed his palm over their heads as they closed their eyes, sensing their king’s energy entering their bodies.

Damian closed his eyes, and in the next second, everything that had happened on Earth over the past four weeks, while he had been engaged in intimate ‘bed battles’ with his wives, Lenora and Amelia, entered his mind as though he had witnessed it all firsthand.

To sum it up: a lot had happened on Earth.

Firstly, before Damian left Earth, it had already started undergoing transformation.

Landmasses and sea levels had begun shifting.

As a result of this transformation, all the continents merged into one gigantic landmass.

On the old Earth, this process would’ve taken millions of years and would have likely wiped out all humans.

But due to supernatural factors and the System’s involvement, the process took only five weeks and came with extreme consequences.

It was a catastrophic event that not only reshaped Earth’s structure but also triggered all sorts of natural disasters: mega-tsunamis, megathrust earthquakes, erupting volcanoes, toxic gas releases, thick ash clouds, and numerous other unnamed calamities.

Humans should have been wiped out by this.

But they weren’t, because Damian had transitioned all humans on Earth into [Superior Humans] with immense adaptability, significantly stronger bodies, and even supernatural abilities and talents developing on their own.

This evolution made the human race far stronger than ever before.

But still, there were many losses.

The population of [Superior Humans] dropped to just 1.8 billion, a great loss, though not something Damian was going to dwell on.

There were still many other worlds where humans were prominent: the three Murim worlds, or Morris, the world Sir Holloway originally came from before turning into a vampire.

Damian could always create more [Superior Humans], and he already planned to visit those worlds once he was sure he was strong enough to face whatever awaited him there.

He was particularly concerned about the three Murim worlds, which he knew housed powerful beings.

Anyway, after all the continents combined, his sixteen High Humans carried out his orders.

They created seven factions and had already started recruiting more [Superior Humans].

Earth had stabilized, and humanity had begun rapidly rebuilding using their new abilities.

Damian opened his eyes and took his hands off Shiru and Maria, then looked at all of his High Humans with a narrowed gaze.

“You guys did well in managing everything on Earth…”

“We appreciate your kind words, Your Highness,” Ana Sánchez said as they bowed in unison.

“Hmm…” Damian nodded. “Except for Maria, Shiru, Ana, and Yuki, everyone else can return to Earth and make sure everything continues smoothly.”

They bowed and, in the next second, disappeared, teleporting back to Earth, leaving Shiru, Maria, Ana, and Yuki behind.

These were his four most favored High Humans.

Damian sighed. “So many things happened in the last few weeks, I don’t even know where to begin.”

He turned to look at the five Countesses. “My dear Countesses, I’m also the Progenitor of Humans. So if you think I’ll prioritize vampires over humans, you are absolutely wrong. Humans and vampires are the same to me. So I suggest you start working together from now on.”

The Countesses looked at the four High Humans for a moment, considering the king’s words.

They knew he was serious.

As the Progenitor of both races, he wouldn’t show favoritism.

“We will do as you say, my lord,” the five Countesses nodded.

Damian turned his gaze to the four High Humans. “The same goes for you. Vampires and humans can only exist in peace, or not exist at all.”

He looked at both the Countesses and the High Humans together and released a speck of his aura.

Instantly, everyone in the throne hall broke into a cold sweat, overwhelmed with fear.

“This is an ultimatum I will uphold to the very end.”

The High Humans and vampires looked at each other with mutual understanding.

None of them wanted to go against the king’s words or disappoint him.

“I know it will be hard… Vampires have always viewed humans as nothing but blood banks, and humans have always despised vampires for their treatment. But all of that ends now,” Damian continued, calming his aggressive aura and allowing everyone to breathe again.

“From the human race: Maria, Yuki, Ana, and Shiru will act as ambassadors. From the vampire race: the five Countesses, Akira Kaminari, Tiana Valthryne, Kathryne Dracula, Amaya Kuroyami, and Lillian Brenlith, will be ambassadors. You will represent your races in every major event or decision that involves either humans or vampires. You will be my hands, my commanders, my viziers who ensure my will becomes reality. Do you understand?”

“We do, my lord,” the High Humans and noble vampires said, bowing in unison.

Just as Damian finished speaking, everyone felt an extremely powerful presence appear out of nowhere.

Before they could react, a figure stood in the center of the throne hall.

Damian’s eyes widened in surprise.

The figure had long, curly golden-brown hair and marble-blue eyes with lightning-like streaks flashing within them.

She was a goddess, a very powerful one, perhaps even stronger than Amelia or Lenora, and every bit as beautiful.

As soon as Damian saw her face, one of the blurred images from his sealed memories became clear.

A name echoed in his mind.

“A-Avaline?”

The goddess turned into lightning and shot toward the Vampire King, but it wasn’t a bolt that struck him.

Instead, a soft-skinned goddess landed in his arms, embracing him tightly.

Damian held her close, placing a hand on her head.

“Husband,” Avaline said, tears pouring down her cheeks, wetting his chest. “I missed you, husband.”

“I know… I’m sorry it had to be this way,” Damian said, gently patting her head.

They didn’t care that noble vampires, High Humans, and even Alpha werewolves were watching.

Ignoring everyone, Damian lifted Avaline into his arms and disappeared with her, teleporting into his private quarters to be alone with his beloved wife.

…

The Alpha Werewolves, Noble Vampires, and the High Humans just stood there, watching their king disappear with a powerful entity that had appeared out of nowhere, not understanding anything that was happening.

“This goddess… she is the third wife,” Lillian said with a confused expression.

She couldn’t understand why this man, who kept breaking common sense again and again and had even become the progenitor of both Humans and Vampires, was associated with so many powerful beings.

Lillian had already concluded that he was some sort of powerful entity from the upper plane, but watching everything unfold, she couldn’t help but think she was seriously underestimating him.

After a couple of minutes, two more figures appeared.

It was none other than the Vampire Goddess and the Werewolf Goddess.

As soon as they appeared, they looked in the direction where they could sense two people having a very intense battle on the bed, rolling around in every direction, licking, kissing, engaging in tongue fights, and doing all sorts of intimate things.

They drowned themselves in pleasure in countless positions, their combined love fluids already covering their bodies.

Amelia gulped. “…Can I join them?”

“Let it go, Amelia,” Lenora sighed. “She earned it… Let her have her time.”

“Having him all to herself… I’m overflowing with jealousy,” Amelia said.

“Oh, stop mumbling. He’s not going anywhere… All of us will have our turn,” Lenora said, patting her back, empathizing with her.

After all, she was also very jealous.
