Three options appeared in Xigger's mind. They are his only way out of this sticky situation. He looked at Malekit and said, "Are you sure about this? You will regret it if you don't back off. I can assure you of that."
Malekit sneered. "Maybe I will. But you will certainly feel pain now and I find that it will be very pleasurable."
That didn't work so it leaves two other options. Xigger already tried to leverage his immortality to make Malekit back off but it didn't work. It seems Malekit is ready to throw caution to the wind in favor of short-term gratification. The second option is to kill Ragnarok and spare him the gruesome fate with Malekit.
"Fine. You win. But I will make sure that you regret this." Xigger said then he moved away from Malekit.
He flew to Ragnarok and grabbed hold of him. Malekit didn't say anything or move. He just stood there and watched Xigger's actions. He is enjoying what he has caused and he wants to see more.
"Please make my day and run." Malekit thought to himself.
He wants Xigger to run. That will make this even more enjoyable. There's nothing more enjoyable than chasing an ancestral vampire. He doesn't actually want Ragnarok. He is only using him to get to Xigger, his father.
He also doesn't want to die. So he won't initiate the fight with Xigger despite all his talk about defending the honor of his ancestor. His main aim is to humiliate Xigger and he would prefer to do that without a fight. The issue is that he has to fight if Xigger initiates a fight. He can't take back what he already said so he would prefer it if Xigger runs.
So he watched as Xigger took Ragnarok by the arm. Ragnarok didn't run away. He is already surrounded so escaping is not possible.
He smirked at his father. "I guess that you can't protect me. In fact, you are bad for me. I always get into more trouble when you are around."
Xigger sighed. "I guess you will hate me more after this."
"Oh, I think I hate you more than en...." Ragnarok's words got caught in his mind. It is because something is crushing his throat.
It happened so fast. He was talking then his neck was twisted and Xigger had bitten his neck. He felt it as eight sharp fangs pierced the flesh of his neck and entered his body. Then he felt nothing but pain after that. He is still aware of everything going on around him but his body has stopped responding to him. He fell from the sky so Xigger took him into his arms where he began to spasm violently.
"This is bad. I've lost control of my body." He thought in panic.
He needs to control the energy within his body to make it go out of order to commit suicide. He has lost control of is body so he can't commit suicide in the traditional way. He can still commit suicide though. He just needs to summon Legion-1's domain. The power of the domain will fracture his existence and kill him. So he calmed down after the initial moment of panic.
He began to scheme after he calmed down. He got greedy.
"I wonder how this works."
He wants to know how vampires are made and what their source of power is. He wants to know how races are created and get hints about the power of supreme laws. It is all because he doesn't want to make his reincarnation a waste.
Any information that might be useful to Legion is welcomed even if he has to trade his life for it. At this point, Legion has never experienced a supreme law. He is the first clone to come in contact with it so Legion doesn't know that it is very dangerous to come into contact with a demon god in any way.
His experience coupled with Soverick's encounter with the first sage informed Legion of the danger of Supreme laws. Legion became more curious about it but took precautions when Soverick was going to attend the Unified Skill Index. His experience also made Aeternus ready to commit suicide to preserve Legion.
That is all in the future. But currently, Ragnarok, in his ignorance, decided to wait until he has no other choice but to commit suicide to do so. He turned his attention to his body to understand what was going on with him. A foreign power has entered his body. It is of a higher existence than any concept. This power is so strong it is almost inviolable.
The power of CARNAGE entered his body through that single bite. Then it went to work on modifying his body. It faced no resistance whatsoever in its attempt. It is after all on par with a false law of order. Even though the supreme law didn't enter his body or act directly on him, the power of CARNAGE was made manifest through the power of blood.
His body couldn't resist this power even if it wanted to but his body didn't resist it all all. His body did the opposite. This power didn't need to coerce or force his body to accept it or adapt to it all. His core drew the power of blood towards it eagerly and willingly while his white fur turned red.
The law of devouring within his core is responsible for the active pulling force. It pulled eagerly on the power of blood. The power of blood entered his core and met with the budding concept within it. It was the law of life that ensured 100% compatibility with the power of blood. So there was no need to force his core to accept and adapt to the invading force.
The power began to change his core. First, his core became saturated with the power of blood. Then the law of life was overwritten and changed into the law of blood. All the while, the law of devouring absorbed the supply of blood power without prejudice or restraint.
