Many people, no, I should say many vampires, believe that Victor is the traditional leader of the Camarilla among vampires. The Camarilla and the Devil's Party are probably the difference between the two ideologies among vampires. The Camarilla pays attention to secrecy, while the Devil's Party is a radical group. They are unwilling to live a secretive life.
Of course there are many differences, but this is roughly it.
However, since the huge disaster during World War I, the top leaders of the major representative clans of the Camarilla were wiped out by Kai. The Demon Party also suffered heavy losses in the subsequent turmoil. The so-called Camarilla and Demon Party systems have long since collapsed. Now Vampires have become more dispersed and are no longer divided into secret parties or demonic parties. Most vampires operate in a family structure, and the concept of clan has faded to nothing.
Victor is the leader of the last Camarilla and the largest boss of the Camarilla. He and a group of Camarilla once made a decision that went against their ancestors and planned to activate the Plague Bracelet, one of the Thirteen Sacred Artifacts, to separate them from the human world. Create a territory as the kingdom of vampires. But the results were disastrous.
Because the secret party's vitality was severely weakened, many clans had no choice but to cross the ocean and come to the new world. Victor's prestige also plummeted, so he could only share power, so the Vampire Council was formed. So despite the lofty name of the Vampire Council, it was actually established for a short period of time.
Because of the parliamentary system, Victor's power has been greatly reduced. He cannot speak out as before. After all, under the parliamentary system, the minority obeys the majority. He is only the speaker and has the power to convene meetings and preside over meetings, but he cannot influence the parliamentarians. decision.
For more than a thousand years before his vampire career, Victor enjoyed unparalleled power, but now he can only be regarded as a rubber stamp.
This gap was difficult for Victor to accept.
As a result, the former leader of the secret party gradually transformed into a more radical person than the vampire of the devil party!
He wants to usher in a new era of vampires.
He began to reflect on why vampires could not become the masters of the world.
Finally, he discovered that vampires may have some advantages over humans, but on the other hand, vampires also have many fatal disadvantages compared to humans!
One is the gap in reproductive capacity.
The reproduction efficiency of vampires is too low. If a vampire wants to be produced through natural reproduction... it depends entirely on the sky, the probability is not high. Then there is the first embrace, but the first embrace has its limits, so the ability to reproduce is naturally not much stronger.
Secondly, that is the weakness of the vampire itself.
Silver, sunshine, garlic. These things are very difficult to obtain, but they are extremely resistant to vampires.
So Victor secretly launched a plan, a plan to change the ecology of the entire vampire population.
He wants to create a new breed of vampire!
The rapid development of human science and technology gave Victor an opportunity.
Gene technology!
He succeeded, he literally created a new generation of vampires.
However, this version of vampire... to be honest, it was very different from what he imagined. They are indeed stronger than ordinary vampires, but somehow, Victor feels that these things can only be regarded as half-finished defective products. They have indeed become less afraid of silver, but their resistance to ultraviolet rays has become very low, even worse than ordinary people. Vampires are even lower... What's worse is that their incomparable bloodthirst is the kind of bloodthirst that cannot be satisfied. These things are completely monsters! Victor calls them 'Reapers'.
The "Harvester" is bloodthirsty and has some fine needles in the center of its palms. It feeds on both humans and vampires, and its excessive metabolism leads to an alarming demand for them. Even can never be satisfied,
The only two advantages are that they are very strong and their reproduction efficiency is frighteningly high. There is no need to say more about strength. Compared with ordinary vampires, they are taller, faster and stronger. Their hearts are wrapped in bones, their bodies are unkillable, and their bodies can continue to eat after their heads die. They are absolute killing machines. As for reproductive efficiency, Victor was honestly shocked. They are like zombies. With just one bite, without any first embrace, a person or vampire can be transformed!
For this reason, he had to clean up this batch of test products. He killed all the Reapers, at least that's what he thought before.
In short, Victor quickly invested in the research of a new generation of mutant vampires.
Then he zeroed in on Daywalker. Sunwalker is simply the perfect vampire, he is not afraid of anything vampires are afraid of. The only drawback is probably the reproductive efficiency, but don't worry, they have accumulated enough experience and can definitely solve this problem. So he and the Kingpin reached a cooperation to obtain the blood of the Sunwalker.
Until...his 'son' came back!
Chad Norma, one of the first mutant vampire 'Reapers'. The genetic source of these mutated vampires comes from Victor, so he calls those reapers his sons.
During that clean-up operation, one 'son' actually survived.
Now...he's come for revenge!
This has become Victor's biggest headache now.
Because of the characteristics of the reapers, Chad Norma has created a group of descendants to hunt vampires in the darkness!
And there will be more and more of these reapers.
Victor and the Vampire Council have been secretly destroying these Reapers recently and suppressed them in the sewers of New York. Although these things are very scary, the bloodthirsty desire turns these mutated vampires into brainless beasts. The vampires of the Council can still suppress them. If they are allowed to run to the ground... it will definitely be a disaster.
It was also at this critical moment that Victor's new generation of mutant vampires succeeded. Well, I can't say that. I can only say that it was successful for the time being. After all, they were still in an embryonic state. Even vampires have to learn the basics, they need time to develop.
This is also where Victor is troubled.
As a result, James came over at this time.
Sure enough, Victor was very interested in the Blood God Project. He knew about the plan, but he thought it was just Dickon Faith's lie, but he didn't expect it to be true!
"You said, Dickon Faith really became the Blood God?" Victor looked at the plan James gave him.
"That's right." James enjoyed a bottle of red wine from Victor's collection. "But...he was quickly killed by Blade and Hannibal."
Victor frowned.
That's it?
Too bad?
James seemed to see what Victor was thinking, and he reminded: "Those are Blade and Hannibal!"
Victor shook his head, then nodded.
Indeed, neither Blade nor Hannibal are ordinary players. Victor, as a vampire, knows this better than James, a human.
"Can the Blood God really not be afraid of sunlight and silver?"
"That's right. It took Blade and Hannibal a full day to kill Dickon Faith," James said, although he actually didn't know what happened at that time. But that doesn't stop him from saying that. He didn't deceive Victor anyway, right?
Victor nodded thoughtfully.
"I need all the information on the Blood God Plan."
"Yes, but only if you clear an enemy for my boss."
Victor didn't care, he approved of the deal. Although Victor feels that his plan is more promising, if the Blood God is really that good, he can complete the transformation himself. This way he can dominate the world and make himself immortal. Wouldn't it be great!
"who?"
James took out two photos. One is the vampire who threatened Kingpin that day, and the other is a tattoo photo found from those mercenaries. King didn't know what the tattoo meant, but he believed Victor knew.
Victor had no reaction to the vampire, he had never seen him at all. But when he saw the tattoo photo, his expression immediately changed.
"How did you get in touch with them?"
Victor recognized it, it was the coat of arms of the Ancient Blood Clan! Of course Victor knew about the Ancient Blood Clan. In the era of conflict between the Camarilla and the Demon Party, the Ancient Blood Clan has always been aloof and dismissive of their European cousins.
James was shocked, but his face didn't change at all. There was even a smile in his eyes, making him look confident.
"If it weren't for the trouble, do you think we would trade such a precious thing?"
Victor frowned and looked at James. He considered whether to capture James and interrogate the Bleeding God for details of his plan.
But James smiled slightly at his increasingly dangerous look, appearing confident.
Then Victor put away his threatening eyes.
Because...he knew Kingpin.
That was a man who made the entire dark world tremble, otherwise Victor would not have cooperated with Kingpin in the first place. The reality is that Victor is not sure about dealing with Kingpin. Kingpin's men were not incompetent.
Of course, this is not an important thing. What is really important is Kingpin's all-pervasive intelligence network.
At least in New York, it was really hard to hide what Kingpin wanted to know. If he really fell out with Kingpin, Kingpin might not need to do anything himself. He only needed to provide information to Blade or Hannibal, which would be enough for the vampire to drink.
So Victor began to seriously consider whether to deal with the Ancient Blood Clan.
To be honest, Victor would not be happy to confront this ancient clan if he could.
This clan is too ancient and mysterious.
But... thinking about his plan, Victor felt that, probably, it seemed that he didn't need to be so afraid of this clan.
"Okay...I will clean up their power in the United States so that they dare not be enemies with you, but...to deal with them, I need time."
"If the deal is done, we will hand over some of the information first. After the rest is completed, the handover will be completed."
Vampires are different from humans. They have a lot of time, which leads to many vampires not being impatient in doing things. At least that's the case for Victor.
He does not urgently need the Blood God plan, so he is not opposed to this kind of transaction.
"So nice to work with."
"Of course!" James smiled and clinked glasses with Victor.
…
At the same time, deep in the sewers of New York, a shrill scream spread from the quiet sewers. Rats, cockroaches, or other messy things that originally lived in the sewers, after hearing the noise, all Disappeared quickly.
The sound was strange, unlike any known creature's.
Soon, groups of green-grey-skinned monsters were scurrying around in the sewer tunnels. The monsters were not big in size. They looked like a monkey whose hair was shaved and then dyed gray. The body was so thin that it was hard to find. When you reach a trace of muscle, the blue-black meridians and blood vessels are clearly visible. The most terrifying thing is that their jaws open left and right, and inside is a mass of twisted muscle tissue with several sharp teeth at the tip.
Behind them, groups of armed men wearing full-face helmets were chasing those monsters.
"Catch them and kill them! Quick!"
A leading armed man used the firearm in his hand to attack those monsters crazily. The bullets they fired were all silver-plated, but unfortunately, these bullets were not very effective against those monsters. They could indeed hurt those monsters, but they were also That's all, you can never really kill them.
But soon, several of the armed men pulled off round objects from their waists and threw them out.
Bang!
Amidst a not-so-loud explosion, the entire sewer was filled with purple light.
That's strong UV rays.
Then large areas of those monsters were reduced to ashes.
"Boss! We should withdraw. The ultraviolet bombs are gone. We can't chase them anymore." After the group of armed men chased for another distance, one of the team members suddenly shouted to their leader. The leader immediately raised his hand and told the team to stop.
"Fake! There are too many rats! Can anyone tell me why there are so many humans in the sewers serving as prey for those monsters? We can't get rid of these monsters no matter what!" The leader looked away and ran away. The monsters opened and cursed angrily.
At this time, a team member said: "There is no way, the sewer system in New York is too complicated. The weather is cold now, and many homeless people like to get into the sewers. At least it is warm here."
"Fake!" the captain cursed again. He wanted to find the New York City officials and ask them why they didn't solve the problem of homeless people! Corpse meal! What a waste of taxpayer money!
If these monsters really ran to the ground, their vampires would also suffer, and they would never care about such a mess! They are vampires, not superheroes. Doing this kind of job of protecting others always makes him feel like he is not doing his job properly.
"Prepare to withdraw!"
Just as they turned around and walked two steps, there was suddenly a rustling sound coming from the passages around them.
"Not good!" The captain immediately realized something was wrong!
Then countless monsters rushed out from all directions and pounced on the team!
The captain immediately understood that they seemed to have been tricked!
Over the past few days, they have been cleaning up these monsters, and found that these monsters are as numerous as rats, and they are also as courageous. When they confront them, they can show off their power immediately. So gradually they became accustomed to chasing monsters to the end when they encountered them. They didn't go back until they ran out of weapons and ammunition.
Before, their various teams maintained a relatively safe distance. Once there was a change, other teams would immediately provide support. However, as time went by, no one abided by this rule. If everyone came up, they would pursue them. In a deeper place, even if we are disconnected from each other, there will be no problem.
But now...
These monsters are playing them!
The captain turned on the intercom and planned to report the situation, but as soon as he turned on the intercom, the channel was already blown up. It was filled with all kinds of screams and pleas for help, as well as the roars of those monsters!
not good!
They've fallen into a trap!
No chance!
Soon these vampire teams were swallowed up by monsters!
