Upon hearing the request of the human monarch at the time, Marcus considered it briefly and then granted the request.
In exchange, Marcus also demanded that Craven spare his werewolf brother's life whenever he captured him in the future.
Craven, who no longer considered the mindless werewolves a threat, readily agreed to Marcus's request without much thought.
And so, the human monarch of that time regained his youth and became a vampire with unparalleled power.
Then, driven by ambition, he began to develop his own bloodline.
Ultimately, he led his equally large vampire force and enslaved the werewolf race with oppressive policies.
This situation continued for over a century. As civilized society developed, the vampire clan ruled by Craven also established its own hierarchical system.
In order: Prince, Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron, and the lowly Blood Servant.
Above these are elders and ancestors who are not included in the statistics.
The progenitor of vampires was Marcus, and the elder was Craven, the true ruler of vampires at the time.
However, as the saying goes: where there is oppression, there is resistance.
Just as the vampires' power was growing stronger, a werewolf child with a human appearance was born among the werewolves who were brutally ruled by them.
This werewolf child named Lucian possesses the ability to switch freely between werewolf and human forms.
Craven, driven by curiosity, spared Lucian's life after noticing his special abilities.
More than a decade later, a special human with the ability to learn and transform into a werewolf gradually grew into adulthood.
As an adult, Lucian, dissatisfied with the bloody rule of the vampires, joined forces with the enslaved werewolf clan to launch a large-scale rebellion.
The wild and untamed werewolves of the old era, though they have lost their ability to think, still possess incredibly powerful abilities.
Once someone takes the lead, they become a force to be reckoned with.
With the help of this force, Lucian finally managed to escape.
Then, this new type of werewolf named Lucian also began to develop his own new werewolf faction.
For a time, werewolves and vampires became evenly matched adversaries. The two races, with their long-standing grudges, began a struggle that would last for countless years.
Meanwhile, Alexander, who indirectly caused all of this, held different views from both tribes.
He believed that people like himself, the "undead," should not disrupt the normal order of human society.
Therefore, over the years, as both the source and the father, he has been suppressing the expansion of vampire and werewolf forces while silently protecting his vampire and werewolf sons.
On the other hand, after years of self-imposed imprisonment, Marcus, the progenitor of vampires, also adopted the alias "Dracula" and began operating in human society in order to find his werewolf brother.
Until one day, a human named Michael appeared.
He is a direct descendant of Alexander's third son, and theoretically a "pure" human who can simultaneously combine vampire and werewolf bloodlines.
The werewolf ruler Lucian and the vampire ruler Craven, who have accumulated a long-standing feud, both set their sights on a pure-blooded human named Michael in order to gain greater power to eliminate each other.
The two races waged a protracted war over Michael, which stretched from various European countries all the way to the Big Apple.
In Apple City, the two factions gathered all their strength and engaged in a final battle.
That fierce battle wiped out all the elite forces of both races.
Furthermore, due to the rapid development of weaponry in human civilization, the two races, weakened by that battle, were forced to withdraw from the historical stage.
"Where is that human named Alexander now?" Mike asked hopefully after reading the information.
Alexander's abilities are definitely not simple, given that he was able to give birth to Marcus and William, two exceptionally gifted progenitors, and that he could single-handedly suppress the expansion of vampire and werewolf forces for many years.
If Mike could obtain his power orb, there's a high probability he could solve the problem of his physical limits.
Yes, even though Mike has incorporated many special light clusters, his physical abilities still have an upper limit.
His current physical potential is probably a little over twenty times that of a normal human.
"The person you're talking about is very cautious and mysterious; even we don't know where he is right now," Ms. O shook her head.
“What about Marcus and William?” Mike continued.
These two, as the progenitors of vampires and werewolves, possessed extraordinary physiques and abilities.
If they can be found, Mike's [Vampire Body] and [Werewolf Body] can probably be obtained in one go.
The vampire hierarchy is not just a figure of speech; a new vampire transformed from the lifeblood of a high-ranking vampire can never match the abilities of a high-ranking vampire.
According to data collected by MIB, the power difference between each level of vampire is at least five times.
While the werewolves do not have a strict hierarchy, from a bloodline perspective, even a mutated werewolf like Lucian is certainly no match for William, the progenitor of the werewolves, in terms of ability alone.
"The whereabouts of Marcus and William are equally mysterious..." Ms. O shook her head again.
However, it's understandable. These two progenitors, not to mention the intelligent vampire progenitor Marcus, even the brainless werewolf progenitor William, probably had their father Alexander protecting them.
In this situation, finding their whereabouts will not be easy.
"Then the organization should have information on the whereabouts of Craven, Lucian, and even that pureblood Michael, right?" Mike asked, still unwilling to give up.
Previous data showed that although the elite forces of both races were almost entirely wiped out in the battle of Apple City, none of the powerful leaders died.
Mike wasn't picky; he only needed to find one person with such great abilities.
However, he was destined to be disappointed again this time.
This time, Ms. O didn't say a word, but just gave Mike a look, letting him figure it out himself.
Chapter 379 Earth Crisis
Out of fear of advanced human weaponry, the vampire and werewolf leaders, knowing their era was over after the war of attrition in Apple City, chose to disappear from the world's sight.
Finding them, who are determined to hide, is indeed extremely difficult.
Nowadays, most of the vampire and werewolf legends circulating in the market are caused by some wandering descendants.
This includes the vampires in Queens Street, who are just some insignificant, last-ditch vampires.
Because of their impure bloodline, their maximum combat strength is estimated to be less than that of an earl.
It's important to know that even at the peak of the vampire power, the Vampire Count could only be considered a mid-level force at best.
"So, what's the purpose of calling me to headquarters this time?" Mike asked after putting down the documents, not expecting any surprises.
“Agent A, Eric Brooks, also known as the Blade Runner, you know him, right?” Ms. O asked patiently.
“I know, he’s always been in Queens, hasn’t he?” Mike replied.
This powerful man, who single-handedly dominated an entire area, is quite famous in some respects.
Based on the information Tina collected, the recent frequent gas pipeline leaks in Queens are likely her doing.
“Good to know,” Ms. O explained. “Eric was bitten by a vampire while his mother was pregnant with him. This resulted in him being born with half-vampire blood. And his mother died from her injuries after giving birth to him…”
"This experience made Eric hate vampires so much that he wanted to wipe them all out."
“Recently, Eric seems to have found some information about the vampire that bit his mother back then, through Pearl, the vampire blood bank manager.”
The vampire who bit Eric's mother back then was a ragtag vampire left over from the Battle of Apple City.
This person is a vampire who was transformed from a human, so it is very difficult for him to increase his strength.
His ability to reach the rank of Viscount after consuming large amounts of human blood has reached a point where he can no longer advance.
Therefore, this ragtag vampire named Dickon Firth, who rules Queens Street, is now planning to summon the Blood God to help purify his bloodline.
Yes, vampires also have their own deity—the Blood God.
In their understanding, the Blood God possesses the same power as the progenitor of vampires, and can help weak vampires become strong.
Meanwhile, Blade Runner, who was investigating the real culprit who killed his mother, happened to trace his tracks to Dickon Firth.
Having realized the other party's conspiracy, he is now planning how to sabotage Dickon-Feez's ritual to summon the Blood God.
At the same time, he was also planning how to kill the other party in order to avenge his mother.
“Eric’s experience is indeed pitiful. But what does that have to do with you calling me to headquarters?” Mike asked directly after hearing Ms. O’s explanation.
There are plenty of unlucky people in the world, and the story of a half-human, half-vampire doesn't really resonate with Mike.
"Here's the thing, Dickon Firth is supposed to hold the Blood God Summoning Ritual on the night of the full moon next month. Blade will likely begin his revenge plan on that day as well..."
Ms. O continued, "Considering the large number of vampires in Queens Street, and the fact that Blade is used to being alone."
"Therefore, in order to ensure that the Blood God summoning ritual fails on that day, headquarters wants to send you to support Eric."
Due to his upbringing, Eric has a very eccentric personality, even to the point of being paranoid.
He seemed wary of everything, including the mysterious MIB organization.
Although Eric has joined the Men in Black's special operations unit, he rarely consults with Men in Black headquarters about his actions.
This operation is no different.
However, Dickon Firth's summoning ritual to the Blood God was far too dangerous. If he succeeded, the consequences would be unimaginable, which the Men in Black headquarters could not afford to ignore.
Therefore, to ensure that if Ms. O were to approach Mike, hoping he could cover for Eric, she would do so.
"My mission this time is to be a nanny?" Mike finally understood Ms. O's intention.
“If that’s how you see it, then you’re right,” Ms. O replied with a smile.
"Alright, I'll take this mission. But I can't guarantee how exactly it will be carried out." Considering that he was originally going to visit Queens Street anyway, Mike accepted this support mission.
However, considering that Eric is not only eccentric but also loves to show off, most people simply cannot stand him.
Therefore, Mike didn't expect to get along well with the other party during this mission.
"As long as you can disrupt the vampire's blood god summoning ritual, you can handle this mission yourself." Ms. O, understanding Mike's thoughts, wasn't too harsh.
The Men in Black do this very well; each agent has a great deal of freedom.
This is why Mike joined the X Division so easily in the first place.
After finalizing the mission, Ms. O and Mr. Z, along with Mike and Nydy who had come along, went to the Men in Black's weapons development department.
“You haven’t forgotten what vampires fear, have you?” Ms. O walked to a row of weapon display cases and said, “This batch of ultraviolet bombs and improved silver nitrate bullets are the organization’s latest effective weapons for dealing with vampires.”
On the display stand, there are a large number of special high-explosive grenades shaped like melons, and next to them are various types of silver nitrate bullets.
Judging by their numbers, they could support a small-scale war.
Not long after, Mike, whose car was loaded with special weapons, left the Men in Black headquarters with Nydy.
"Is it really okay for the cockroach warriors to steal the 'Galaxy'? Maybe we can send Agent M to support Agent K's team first..." In the Men in Black headquarters office, Mr. Z's expression remained grim.
James Edwards (Agent J), who joined the Men in Black with Michael, is now investigating an alien incident with his partner, Agent K, that is related to the survival of Earth.
A powerful cockroach warrior sneaks onto Earth, kills the prince of the alien Akiren Empire, and steals the "Galaxy" energy bead from him.
The Aquilen Empire, known as the Guardians of the Galaxy, possesses a more advanced technological civilization. They are capable of compressing the energy of an entire galaxy into the size of a glass bead.
The only drawback of the Akiren, who possess such advanced technological civilization, might be their extremely weak physical abilities.
The cockroach warriors seized upon this vulnerability, successfully attacking the prince of the Akilon Empire who was vacationing on Earth, and thus stealing a "galactic" energy ball that could have triggered a large-scale interstellar war.
The King of the Akiren Empire, who learned the whole story of his son's murder on Earth, has now piloted his interstellar fleet to outer space not far from Earth.
A war against Earth could break out at any moment.
This is the real reason why Mr. Z is frowning.
The good news is that the king of the Akiren Empire wasn't too senile. Knowing the cause of his son's death, he didn't make things too difficult for the Earthlings.
All he had to do was ask the Men in Black to help him find the "Galaxy" energy ball that his son had lost on Earth within a specified timeframe, and everything would be fine.
Of course, that's where the problem lies.
If the Men in Black fail to retrieve the energy orb called "Galaxy" for the King of the Akilon Empire within the stipulated time, the King of Akilon will not show any mercy.
They will launch a massive war of destruction against Earth.
"Don't worry, Agent K is the most outstanding and legendary agent since the Men in Black were founded. I believe he can solve this problem that Earth is facing..." Ms. O's expression was much calmer than Mr. Z's.
"I hope so!" Realizing Agent K's reliability, Mr. Z's expression improved considerably.
Then, he asked with concern, "I heard that Agent K recently applied for retirement. What are your plans to do about this?"
Because his former partner, who was also quite old, chose to retire at the peak of his career, Agent K has recently also been considering retiring.
"If Agent K still has thoughts of retiring after this energy ball incident is over, then let him go." Ms. O thought for a long time before making a difficult decision.
