MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Vampire God

Chapter 929 The method to tame the seeds

( Dombivli, The Bloodfall Capital )

A week passed by and Max showed no real signs of improvement as despite the vampire society being thrown into celebrations, Max himself remained unconscious.

Due to the new loyalty program reforms, the lord's that had not participated in the raid on Dracula alongside Max now feared for their lives.

According to Max's nature, they were bound to receive severe punishments, higher tax rates and lower clan rank evaluation for this act of disobedience and they desperately wanted to avoid that fate.

To do so, not only had they lined up like ants inside the dombivli palace to curry favour with the king when he woke up, but they had done so in spectacular fashion as they came bearing lavish gifts and the most humble demeanour.

Max's praises were being sung nonstop in the halls of Dombivli as those that once did not believe in him did a complete 180 and began worshipping him as if he was god reincarnate.

The situation was especially amusing to Anna and Asiva who were in contact with the various lords and ladies assembled in Dombivli and could observe the nervousness and panic in their eyes firsthand.

They tried to sweet talk the ladies, tried to make the most elaborate excuses even tried to bribe them privately, however, Anna and Asiva were both too smart to fall for such petty tricks and in the end the attempts of the outsiders were foiled.

The happiest one's were the lord's that had bet on Max and supported him in the raid.

As a result of their actions their stock had skyrocketed amongst the vampire society and they were now treated like nobility.

The gratification they felt from this attention further solidified their loyalty towards Max and the crown with Severus being at the forefront of those loyal to Max.

The Saint Maximus stood to gain the most out of the event and everyone could see with their eyes closed that they were going to rise to the position of the number one ranked clan soon enough.

Naturally, Severus had no designs for the throne and even if he was the first rank he would never betray Max, just the honour of being there was a lifetime dream of his ancestors like Sam.

Everything was near perfect, apart from the small problem that Max had not woken up even after 7 days had passed since he battled Dracula.

The initial cause that was stated was exhaustion and no matter how exhausted Max was it was impossible for him to stay unconscious for 7 straight days because of it and the lord's had started to grow restless.

Of Course they only inquired politely by bringing revitalization treasures that could be applied like a cream to the king's forehead for a faster recovery, however, what they really did was to analyse if the problem with Max was really fatigue? Or was it something more sinister and the Bloodfall clan was covering it up?

For now, the excuse was working, however, soon there needed to be a clarification.

( Meanwhile Rudra )

Before taking in the time-stone, Rudra spent a week trying to consolidate his foundation with the six stones that were already in his body and he did so with the help of Odin.

Odin had decided that he was going to help Rudra suppress the corruption of the seeds and he did so by using a forbidden soulmancer spell called [ Absolute Clarity ] that burnt one's vitality in exchange for freeing an individual from any status debuffs or afflictions affecting them.

It was the most important gift that Rudra could have received as with Odin's help, he was granted the clarity of mind that he needed to figure this out without having 6 maddening voices constantly shouting at him.

Receiving a moment's peace after years of constant torture, Rudra felt like himself again as his brain worked at full capacity like only the brain of the greatest mastermind ever could.

Since the seeds were the problem, Rudra understood that the seeds needed to be the solution as he isolated the seed of knowledge to understand how to suppress the power of the seeds in one's body.

Diving into the power of the seed of knowledge with 6 toxic seeds in his body was a risky gamble that Rudra took as with the slightest of deviation or loss of support from Odin, Rudra could fall into depravity, however, mostly due to Odin's relentless support, Rudra managed to seek the answer that he so desperately wished for within the seed of knowledge.

According to the seed of knowledge, it was impossible to suppress and control more than 7 seeds at once as what Rudra was attempting was the literal theoretical limit.

The seeds were created in pairs and were designed to be taken into one's body as pairs from the start, however, foolish monarchs often embedded a single seed into their bodies and fell into depravity from the corruption.

The seed of darkness was to be paired with the seed of life.

The seed of space was to be paired with the seed of time.

The seed of knowledge was to be paired with the seed of void

And finally, the seed of chaos was a seed that could not be suppressed by any other seed as it was the most superior seed of them all and had to be suppressed by one's own mind.

Thankfully, through fate, or sheer luck this was the exact composition of seeds within Rudra's body and if he placed them correctly in the 7 chakra points in his body he could create a harmony off the disharmony of the seeds and potentially tame their powers.

Of Course this was all theoretical, since no-one before him had ever managed to suppress the powers of the seeds or manage to incorporate so many of them inside their body as even one small misstep could spell doom for the Rudra.

With only 23 days to go, he needed to be sure of whatever path he chose to walk on as Max's life hung in the balance.
