Vampire Overlord System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 389 - Gergesh Malicious Plan

-----

Gergesh, the Evil Dragon God of Mind Eating was captured, defeated, and sealed… However, his sealed fragments were foolishly stuck together.

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.

Gergesh had crawled within the depths of this Kingdom since its early beginnings, found on a strange black box by a merchant, he was initially sold toa  young aristocrat that found the box pretty, which he later opened, only to find a strange and mummified bug-like parasitic worm inside…

When he touched it to see if it was in good state, the creature moved on its own, laughing manically, and pointing its sharp teeth on the boy!

"Eh?  GYAAAAAHH…!"

The boy wasn't able to defend with his claws or breath as the bug jumped at an incredible speed over his forehead and quickly dug its way into his brain, devouring it and taking over his boy in the meantime!

Since this very moment when this Kingdom was known as Anima was when his schemes began. Gergesh used his manipulative nature, cunningness, scheming talent, and more to crawl his way up in the social ladder of this ancient Kingdom, ultimately managing to parasitize one of the royal family members, and ending up provoking the greatest dispute and then war of the entire Kingdom, one that changed the entire history of the areas of this world as we knew them!

He used every trick he held to reach this point, and then made a war, a big dispute that gave him the opportunity to access an even bigger buffet, the heroes! He wanted to devour heroes to regain his former strength lost after being sealed. He wanted to manage one day to gain enough strength so he can even parasitize and eat the minds of gods themselves!

Due to his incredibly selfish nature, it thought of itself as the only one deserving to become the ruler of the world, he thought of his amazing talent as the best there was. With this incredible power he would be able to easily devour anything he wanted and assimilate as many as he wanted. He just had the need for some power, and he could ultimately make his way up into the heavens, parasitize the dragon gods and conquer the world, becoming invisible.

The war between Anima's armies lasted almost a whole year, and he used this opportunity to devour many of his enemies and also of his ally's group that were going to betray him. He was cunning to not cut loose the lives of those that could be useful hosts for him in the future!

He caused the mysterious death of heroes that marked history, the dragon gods noticed the premature death of their children ahead of their epic destinies, but when they tried to investigate the cause, it was too late, the entire Kingdom was falling apart, and diving into three…

No matter how much he ate, he had never gotten his belly filled, and his hunger only made him grow the more grotesque… He became so aberrant to the point of being unable to keep his small form, his entire physical body was degrading into a mutagenic and chimeric monster….

At the end, the gigantic worm crawled his way into the sewers as he sued his parasitic spawn in several humans, they didn't even knew they were being parasitized and mildly controlled by his will. He waited and nurtured more meals for him, he incentivized the birth of heroes! And through his life, had devoured many young heroes… yet it wasn't enough!

Why? Why wasn't it enough?

He required something more rich, way richer than just heroes that were just around 15 years old… Eating just kids didn't gave him anything anymore.

He had waited for years and years, devouring little fry while waiting for the time he could find the "chosen one" or something like that, a being that could give him enough power to finally reach his current power and don't lose the weakening caused by the artifact.

He even controlled the aristocrats and superpowers of the Kingdom and had even begun to spread into other Kingdoms like a plague, although it was proven difficult to do so due to the long distances his power couldn't cover.

These last 20 years a new generation of Heroes had surged, more talented than ever before, he incentivized their growth and even donated resources to them so he could taste their flesh and souls better this time around, he planned a big feast!

However, this changed when he met Noah! His presence alone sent shivers down his spine, Gergesh couldn't believe that this being was a dragon!

But the power he exuded was delicious, so rich and tasty looking, he wanted to eat it, eat it all! He was so desperate for eating even his long tongue emerged, licking his grotesque chimeric worm-like body as he crawled across the sewers and looked for beings to snack on.

He was arrogant and manipulative. If he wanted something, he was going to get it, there was no other way around this than this one!

He checked Noah countless times, finding if he had any weakness or something that made him vulnerable, but realized he came accompanied with many members! If he could find them and use his spawns made out of his own grotesque flesh to parasitize them… then… he could probably take ahold of Noah, and finally parasitize him and devour him! Quite fast and cleverly! Such a devilish mastermind!

He had already comprehended that despite his power, Noah was not so much, it seemed like he just had a very abnormal quantity of power, but it was nothing he couldn't handle…
