"Fine then. It is the curse of my existence. I will to hide from the sun."
He agreed to hide. Then he snickered, "How powerful can you be when the sun weakens you? Even the lowest ant does not turn into dust in the sun. Vampires are a disgrace just for that weakness."
The demon god didn't take offense at his mockery. It took on a tone for lecturing, "The sun provides energy for the activities of life. It is not an understatent to say the sun is the source of life. But I take life and put in it a state of transition between death and life. The sun tries to break that state of transition. The energy it produces makes my form unstable and for my state to decide on life or death." Then the demon god sighed in pity, "It is honestly a hassle."
Ragnarok didn't stop snickering as he ran on the ice. "You call it a hassle but I call it a weakness. Your descendants are forced to sleep because of it and they are weak to light and fire. Plus they can't use mana or origin energy because they are out of sync with the world. You can call it whatever you want but it doesn't change the fact that your descendants are weak because of you."
Vampires might terrify mortals just like demons are the stuff of their nightmares, but powerful beings don't fear vampires or demons. Vampires are the lackeys of a demon god. They are like vessels of gods. They have a maximum level that they can reach and they have severe weaknesses. If anything, they are pitied. Even Gehaldirah who was nothing special could defeat a Duke easily without a fight.
The only vampires that are terrifying are the primogenitors or the ancestral vampires. The rest of the Vampires, which is most of them, cannot compare with those on the path of perfection. If not for the lack of a limit on their stats then they will be a useless race. Even then other races who have limits on their stats use origin energy and the authority of laws to match them.
He isn't a full vampire but he is already suffering from the negative effects of this type of existence. He has to hide sowhere and rest so that his body doesn't fall apart. His situation also makes it so that he can't fly anymore.
His soul is currently out of sync with his body so anything that needs the manipulation of his spirit is currently not available. He can't fly or cast spells. Not unless he allows his soul to fuse with the heart of Carnage and becos a Primogenitor. But he won't do that. His current weaknesses are nothing compared to the disadvantages of becoming a full Vampire.
The demon god didn't get angry about him mocking the Vampires. It is a salesperson at this point and it is trying to convince Ragnarok to buy what it is offering in exchange for his soul. So It won't get angry. That's just bad for business. It will smile and maintain a cheery attitude. After all, a custor is always right even if that custor is a little runt that it can squish to death.
It just chuckled and said, "It is good that you are aware of the weaknesses of Vampires. It will help you to preserve your life when you fully beco one of us. I won't have to teach you like I did for your father."
Ragnarok stopped grinning. He scoffed. "What makes you think I will beco one of your spawns? Has my rejection not been enough indication that I would rather die than beco a vampire?"
The demon god laughed. "What a young and pure boy. You are a breath of fresh air, do you know that?"
Ragnarok snorted and ignored the question.
The voice in his continued confidently, "I have seen this situation several tis. Many mortals will say that they will rather die than beco vampires. But they change their minds in ti. It is either because of the need for power or the need for immortality."
Then it asked him, "Do you know that vampires don't have restricted lifespans like those on the path of perfection? You can live forever as a vampire. All you need to do is offer your allegiance to CARNAGE."
"Of course, nothing is perfect in this world. There are pros and cons to everything. You are seeing the cons now so you remain adamant about your decision. That can change when you start seeing the pros too. You might just beco open to Vampirism in ti. It wouldn't be a first. You are a mortal. Mortals change their minds all the ti. I can wait for you to change your mind."
"We'll see about that," Ragnarok said.
That's all Ragnarok could say about it. He is sure that he won't change his mind. He is not so mortal. He has a great aim that he is willing to sacrifice his life for. Sothing like eternal life and ager power won't tempt him to beco a lackey to a demon god and beco eternally yoked.
Legion as a whole will also suffer if he becos the subordinate of a demon god. Their entire goal will be derailed because of him. The full extent of the damage is unknown but it won't bode well for Legion when there is a clone that obeys another and will snitch on them to the demon god.
Those are logical reasons as to why he won't offer his soul. He has other illogical reasons to remain obstinate. His pride will never allow him to do such a thing when another clone of Legion is a demon who wants to beco a demon god.
Aeternus is currently a high-rank demon hiding within the domain of high-rank demons and hiding from the demon lord Beelta hounding him. But the future can change. There is already a plan to liberate Aeternus and empower him. Aeternus can go far and also beco a demon god. What will co of him then as the lackey of another demon god? It is already too shaful for him to think about. He would rather die.
