Vampire Overlord System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 388 - The Parasitic Dragon God

-----

The carriage of vampires slowly moved across the busy streets, as a dark entity within the depths of this city lurked within the sewage, noticing the sudden presence of a being of great power…

"Ahhh… S-Such a large source of energy! I must devour it to recover my previous glory…! You never get such good opportunities!"

This entity! Who was it? A being of divine power that crawled within the sewers of this world?! Wouldn't that be a pathetic creature of the most shameful types?

Why? Why would a being this powerful be in the depths of this city? In the depths of Windias from all things?

This being that resided within the underground area looked atop the surface, the contained power of Noah leaked faintly from him, such power seemed so tasty that this entity's long tongue stuck outside of his grotesque maw and began to lick itself in expectation…

"Ahhh… It looks so tasty! So tasty! I am going to devour it…! Finally… Something that is not a Hero protected by accursed Epics that I can devour…"

This entity was known for the atrocities it committed two thousand years ago when it was known within the world of Gods as Gergesh, the Evil Dragon God of Mind Eating. He was a venomous and malicious Dragon God who had raised to power from…

Yes, you guessed it right! From a Draconic Beast.

A Draconic Beast no less, a being from the depths of the wilderness, how could they become Dragon Gods?

Well, simply put, anything with a dragon heart, no matter how grotesque they were, could become a dragon god! Certain beings in the world of Gods were named Evil Dragon Gods because of their innately malicious natures.

More so often they were not even original Dragon People but originated from Draconic Beasts.

They were chosen ones within the wilderness, Draconic Beast born with stronger instincts, more talent than others, a stronger will to survive and grow stronger, and a greater understanding of the world around them! These were intelligent draconic beasts, and they, in a world as rich in essence such as this world, were not as uncommon…

Amongst the many that were there, he, Gergesh, was one of them! He was a being born in the trash, crawling from the very feces of creatures, a being that nobody could ever believe would become a god, a parasitic draconic beast resembling a small worm whose eggs are deposited in fresh feces of monsters.

When he was born instead of devouring this grotesque meal, he had crawled outside of it and ended landing over a small rodent-like draconic beast, his sharp and tiny jaws sucked the blood out of this rodent, as he went from host to host, each one providing sustenance as he grew stronger.

He had taken another evolutionary path than his siblings who were destined to grow and become the equivalent of flies had not taken, an evolutionary path that made him a parasite.

As he regained enough essence, his dragon heart naturally evolved, his first level up defined his future which was shaped by a mere act of casualty. He became a Parasitic Draconic Beast in the shape of a deadly worm, he began to crawl inside his host and drink move blood, eat more flesh, and devour them from the inside out…

However, it wasn't until his fourth evolution that he finally was able to evolve and gain consciousness after he devoured the entire brain of a developed dragon people from a village, which he had taken over some time ago.

Devouring the brain not only brought complete sentience but due to his past experiences and his personality being shaped as a parasite, he grew naturally cunning and malicious, he became a scheming monsters and continuously hopped from host to host, devouring them from the inside out and gaining power and more power.

He devoured even their dragon hearts, as he continued his endless cycle of parasitism for years, until his Dragon Heart reached a certain threshold and evolved by itself, cracking open and generating an explosive burst of draconic power over the parasite, alongside a deadly tribulation that he somehow completed using the body of the host he had taken over, an ancient hero!

The disappearance of this hero and the calamity brought after he fought against the tribulation were not unheard, as the dragon god that blessed his hero found him out and accused him of being a monstrous being, a heretic to the sacred Fate and its Epic, which he asked everyone in the world to despite and hunt down, since he became a dragon god that he was despised by everyone and turned into a Evil Dragon God!

But did he cared about this? No!

The Dragon Gods saw how he was weak still, and sent him countless heroes to defeat him, several Kingdoms once raised against him within the continent of Draconia, only to fall before his parasitic might. His potential was way too high, he had the power of devouring the bodies, part of the power of a foe, and also their minds and memories! He could grow stronger, more intelligent, and everything just by parasitizing…

Before he was to get out of control, the Dragon Gods decided to break the rule of not altering with mortals as they decided to defeat him while he was still but a Pseudo Demi Dragon Deity!

Gergesh fought back against them bravely, he used all of his cunningness and powers to carve a victory against all odds, however, at the end, he was defeated, his power was nullified, he was caught, and then sliced into pieces!

However, the Dragon Gods were not able to properly seal him because they had to escape the wrath of the Heaven Pantheon when they found out that Gods descended into the mortal world and caused a complete mess. His fragmented and sealed body was contained inside a box-shaped item, which was lost in time, only to be found almost five hundred years ago by a merchant… and since then, his dark shadows had begun to crawl within Windias…
