24 hours later, Matthew ca out of the Library of Vengeance with much information in his brain. He already had a clearer idea, as all these books explained too much about the enemies and the most powerful people in the nearby cities.
It also explained specific situations, such as the importance of the City of the Bloody Dawn, which increased drastically considering that the organization has an inscription completely surrounding it.
Because of this, he was able to put together a perfect plan and felt completely confident in achieving it, although there were still variants he had to keep in mind.
When Matt ca out, Gray, who was waiting for him nearby, smiled at him.
"Follow ."
Soon, the two of them walked across the stairs to the top floor of the mansion.
Gray looked up at the dark sky, which had nurous stars, and was silent until suddenly he spoke.
"You should have heard the rumors spreading through the clan by now." He finally spoke up.
Matt nodded at him. "Well, it seems Mr. Gray has his own decisions." He replied.
Gray looked at him and smiled helplessly. "So, you know they've been getting hosed simply because soone is doing it intentionally."
Although Matt didn't respond, Gray took that silence as an affirmative to what he had said, so he looked back up at the sky.
"The Allen Clan is the safest place in the world when you consider how loyal they are to the Token you currently carry with you. But, since my birth and my display of talent, many of them have forgotten their loyalty to the Token and have thought that I am more important than it.
This has also beco so because we have been open to accepting foreign people into the clan, so the ntality has gradually changed. That's why this place is so unsafe for you; I'd rather have you at the Academy."
Matthew stared at him after hearing this. "I can understand why you want to lead the Clan, but I can also understand their annoyance with .
From the face out, they tend to be smiling and respectful to , but I've been listening to them, and they're not so nice, but they all have one thing in common: I'm not worthy, even if I'm talented and Jack Allen was a better choice, as he was preparing for it. So why go against what they believe in? Honestly, I don't need protection."
"Actually, I know very well that you are not going to lead the Clan. The Dietrich Blood's Destiny is not to lead a small Clan like this. Your destiny is that Vampire Limbo out there; what's out there, and why does it exist? Aren't you curious?" Gray said, causing Matt to frown.
'Vampiric Limbo... Apparently, it is the last and most dangerous ordeal a Heir has to go through. It's so dangerous that even the Heirs themselves have a high mortality rate there, over 60%, though miraculously, those of Gray's Generation don't seem to have died.' Matthew nodded slightly.
"Then why did you appoint as Leader?" he asked.
"It's because you do need protection. Everyone would be interested in you when the world knew you were back from the Empire."
"Did you know that? Cecily Edevane bought information about you from our Clan before I appointed you as Leader. Charles Relish took an interest later, but the more dangerous of the two is Cecily Edevane. You need to watch out for that woman, as the Edevane are not so weak and the most cunning of all."
"Right now, you stand before the sight of the world, but no one dares to move against you openly because to do so would an they would all end up 10 feet under, as my Clan has no rules that any idiot can violate. That's why I gave it to you." He smiled a little and turned to look at him.
"Boy, I am the most powerful man in the World. I have reached a height that no one has ever reached before, not even that legendary Dark Heir of my Clan. In today's world and the history of the past millions of years, no one has reached the depth of my power."
"But, I am not proud of it. I have received Seven out of Ten Revelations; I co the closest to becoming an Immortal Vampire. I'm so close that sotis it scares to think about it, but..." He raised his hand slightly as if he wanted to grab and hold on to sothing. His movent created ripples of power that spread everywhere.
Once one ended, a new wave ca until seven were completed. The movents seed invisible and imperceptible, but they were imnsely powerful. Even Matthew had to respect this power.
In actuality... Perhaps a single wave of that one could take his life. That was the power of the most powerful man in the world.
Gray spoke again. "Even though I have accomplished what was said in the history books, even though I can create Seven Waves... I have only been able to walk 100 ters in Vampiric Limbo. The number Seven is important; it is the number of tis I have gone there. My Seven tis there have only shown how ridiculously weak I am and how imnsely powerful the Dietrichs were.
The difference is so great that there is no point of comparison between and them."
Although he spoke softly, his words were sohow full of fear when he ntioned that Vampiric Limbo. But Matt couldn't understand yet why that place was so unusual.
Still, the Seven Revelations he ntions is what is between the 140,000 power and the 150,000 power.
It is said that advancing 1,000 power after 140,000 cannot be done by normal ans. Revelations are necessary, and they are sotis so long that no one can receive two of them in a row, as they could damage one's mind or destroy it directly.
That is why it takes so long to cross over from the 140,000 to the 150,000. But no one has ever managed to cross over to the other side of that river called 'The 140,000 of Power'; most of them tend to stay at Five Revelations or Six, which was the biggest record set by the Dark Heir, and it took that Heir over 500 years.
Whereas Gray is not even 350 years old and has already crossed Seven. 'He's a very talented man.'
But, for him, Vampire Limbo was sothing he couldn't overco.
Gray sighed after a couple of minutes and looked at Matt. "My closeness to becoming an Immortal Vampire makes believe that in another 50 or 100 years, I might be able to do it. But... I'm sure even then, I won't be able to cross Vampire Limbo. Maybe it's because I'm not worthy, but if anyone in this world is worthy of doing it, I've only t four."
"Four?" Matthew was surprised by the surprisingly high number. While this world had tens of billions of people, the fact that four people were capable of crossing that place, and the most powerful man in the world was not included, was astounding.
Who the heck were the 4?
Gray nodded. "The first one I saw that could do it is Alice. Take good care of her; when she reaches 100,000 power, she'll surprise you. But, even then, the fact that she carries my blood sotis makes doubt if she can do it." He sighed at last but moved on to the next person.
"The next person is another woman in the distant Devourer Territory. I don't know who she is; I only know her na, Lilith. Of incalculable beauty, with a blue skin... If there is anyone capable of killing in this world, I can only think of her. The code I could see in her... It makes believe that she is unusual.
I don't know why soone like that exists here, but there she is."
"The third person, she must be a surprise to you. She is Charlotte Adams. I doubted before whether she could get on that podium, but, being your wife, how could it be so simple? The problem is that I couldn't see a code for her. Maybe her code is so unusual, like the fourth person's code." He said, and he smiled as he looked at him.
He made his eyes start rolling in strange circles as if it were a chanism. This was the first ti Matthew could see how this guy used one of his abilities: Dating.
'It should be the ability to see people's codes,' Matt thought, and Gray smiled at him.
"The fourth person should not be a surprise. I only know two people who don't have codes; I can't register them. One of them doesn't make my eyes smoke. The other one makes my eyes burn if I keep looking at him for more than one minute, " he said, and suddenly, his eyes started to smoke so much that he had to look away from where he was.
Matthew couldn't say or do anything but look at him. He could understand why this was happening. That ability belongs to Matthew; it is part of his body. Naturally, that ability would not allow soone else to see information from what it recognizes as a part of it.
But he couldn't respond in the short term, which prompted Gray to say sothing else.
"There is a fifth person if you ask . This one will be a surprise to you, possibly. It's that little girl who's always hanging around with you. Her code is more unusual than Alice's."
Matthew couldn't find anything to say either, but he wasn't surprised. If he had to say anything, it was that Isla might be the most unusual person of this era, even above him. He could still find several things to cling to the idea of how he got here.
But how did Isla get here? It was an unanswerable question for him right now. Maybe eting her parents would be the right way to find out, but those parents were already dead.
But he had a question. "Why are you telling all this?" he asked. There had to be a reason Gray Allen decided to tell him all this, although Matthew already had an idea.
