The most important promise he made to them was that he had to do his best to help them become true gods in a year after he reached their world. That's why he had to share his blood with them and turn them into vampires, even though he knew that they would eventually come for his life after he did so.
He tried to delay the inevitable by telling them that he needed a lot of blood to help them. During that time, because they thought he was helping them, they helped him turn other Kunuts into vampires and hunt other races for their blood.
Most of the blood he has acquired was provided by the demigods. It would have been good for him if things had continued like that.
Unfortunately, things couldn't continue like that forever. When it was almost a year on this planet, he had to tell them that the only way for them to become true gods was to kill him and replace him.
That has always been the tradition of vampires. If a higher vampire is strong enough to kill a primordial vampire, then that primordial vampire is unworthy of the privilege, and its position should be given to the higher vampire.
When the demigods heard that, they were incensed. It was expected, which was why he wasn't nearby when they read the message he sent to them.
It wasn't even a matter of anger. It was a matter of desperation. If he hadn't cheated them and if they had nothing to be angry with him for, they would still try to kill him to replace him. It is simply the way of things.
After that one year, he became alone on a hostile world surrounded by enemies who used to be his allies. These were enemies that could kill him permanently.
The bright side of things was that the Kunuts were not strong enough to kill him despite outnumbering him. He was stronger than them, and he had many ways to escape from them.
He even managed to kill two demigods. This reduced the threat they had and increased his chances of turning things around. So the situation was looking up for him.
Unfortunately, things didn't get better. Instead, it got worse because the desperate Kunuts reached out to the Yggdrasil civilization.
He grumbled again and said, "I shouldn't have been surprised. If they could have contacted the hidden vampires, it would be easy to contact the Yggdrasil civilization."
He claimed that the vampire civilization was hidden, but it wasn't completely intentional. The vampire civilization simply didn't have the technology to be loud and obvious in space.
The vampire civilization relies more on their ancestral blood magic. That hasn't changed for the tens of thousands of years of their known history. They don't rely on technology at all.
The Yggdrasil civilization, on the other hand, is a civilization that is always changing. They are always growing both in terms of power and means.
Any race with technology capable of receiving radio waves from deep space will be able to see the large tree that spans many star systems feeding on stars. So it is easy for the Yggdrasil to be seen and contacted by other races.
That is a good thing for the Yggdrasil civilization and a bad thing for those races. Those weak races who become curious enough to reach out to the Yggdrasil civilization always regret it.
The Yggdrasil civilization is simply a predator. The large tree that they are dangling in front of everyone is like the lantern of the anglerfish. It is bait to lure foolish races into making contact with them.
So his situation is pretty funny. Because of the foolishness of the Kunut race, he is not stuck between them and the Yggdrasil civilization.
He chuckled to himself as he began working, "The only way this can get funnier is if they invite a third galactic civilization. I wish they would, and I wish it were a previously unknown civilization so I could earn some rewards when I tell the blood ancestor."
He would earn a large reward for informing the blood ancestor of another civilization that they can conquer. If that civilization is as delicious and irresistible as the humans are said to be, then becoming a true god is set in stone for him.
Sergil is currently within a large wayfarer. The wayfarer is large but weak. It has been turned into a lesser vampire, so it has to do everything he asked it to do.
He is hiding in the wayfarer and using it as a mobile fortress. Not only is the fortress highly durable and difficult to breach, but it can also move, which will provide his army with mobility and help him hide his traces.
All the blood he has is currently in a large vat. The vat occupies half of the wayfarer. That means the vat is almost half the size of a city.
One might call this vat a lake of blood, and they wouldn't be wrong. Many living things had died and had their life force drained to create this large lake of blood.
He drained that large vat in one move. He simply flicked his hand, and the lake of blood rose into the air and flew towards him.
As a primordial vampire, he can control blood. And as a demigod, he can control a vast amount of blood at once.
This act of manipulating the lake of blood wasn't difficult for him at all. He lifted the lake of blood into the air and funneled it down to the ground in the form of thin stripes of blood.
The thin strips of blood were used as ink to write on the ground. What he was writing were runes. They were magic runes used to construct a blood portal.
Constructing a blood portal is delicate and complicated work that has no room for mistakes. It is something that only primordial vampires can do reliably.
