Novel Full Chapter 716 The News Reaches Dombivili
( Dombivli City )
The entire city of Dombivli was in a state of unrest.
Two very conflicting news stories had been published in the daily paper that had thrown the city into chaos.
First piece of news was positive and started how the vampires achieved a monumental victory and detailed the return of the God-King.
The second piece of news however was the one that threw the city into chaos.
The alleged news about their Lord being a primordial vampire and being detained in prison until further investigation caused severe civil unrest.
The common folks of Dombivili who had grown to respect and love their Lord for his excellent governance and bravery did not wish to accept that the charges were true and were burning with a fire of protest and rioting to show their displeasure at the decision of the vampire king to imprison him.
But with the vampire armies still within the Dimensional Battlefield and the great war still not over, they did not have the opportunity to show their dissent as they were forced to swallow the bitter pill and await the results of the investigation.
If their Lord indeed turned out to be a primordial vampire, it would undoubtedly devastate the common people of Dombivli, for the stigma surrounding the prophecy was strong.
If their Lord was wrongly imprisoned, then their wraths would be turned towards the monarchy, as while the rest of the vampire society might sympathise with the King and his desire to take precautions, the people of Dombivli would not.
This was the capital of Bloodfall clan and the support for their Lord was the strongest here.
Asiva, who also received the news, cursed and swore at the Vampire King.
She was 3 months into her pregnancy now and her belly had very slightly begun to show. 𝑜𝘷𝑙.𝘰𝑟𝑔
She was approaching the second trimester and was advised by healers to keep a stress free environment and eat healthy, but she was still overly swamped with official work and had a constant source of stress with Max fighting the Dimensional war.
Her stress levels shot through the roof when she heard that Max was taken in as a prisoner, but as if already predicting that she would freak out, Max had sent a letter to her via Zippo, who was also instructed by Max to become Asiva’s shadow for the next 6 months.
Within the letter Max gave an excellent account of how the war turned out to be as well as a first hand description of his brother’s majestic return.
But after the idle talk was over, he described how he feared he was going to be imprisoned and detailed his next course of action.
When Asiva read his plan, her eyes sparkled with excitement as she realised that this was a political masterstroke.
If Max’s plan succeeded, he would establish himself as an unshakeable pillar of vampire society and then even if Regus was King, he would be politically incapacitated when dealing with Max.
The plan that Max mentioned had a lot of variables and depended heavily upon Asiva, Anna, Mira, Severus, Sebastian and several outsiders to succeed.
But if everyone came through for Max, he could potentially become as influential within vampire society as Vega Titus or Julian Caesar.
His influence would only be second to Regus Aurelius himself and even the King would find it difficult to deal with him.
Sucking in a breath of cold air, Asiva wondered if this was the same meat-headed husband she knew from back at the university, or was this an entirely different man.
He used to be a simpleton, but this plan seemed like something that the brother of Shakuni would come up with.

( Meanwhile inside the dimensional battlefield )
The angels and the Hazelgroove Empire both launched an unprecedented assault through enemy lines following the death of the devil.
With the monarchs personally leading the charge, 50 orbs were destroyed in a single day as the dark faction troops faced a one sided defeat.
Some abandoned their bases, some fought back half-heartedly only to surrender when they lost a few thousand, but it was those who fought with everything they had got that suffered the most.
The angels had no mercy for those who clung to and defended the dark factions’ style of life.
While Cervantez was more kind, prince Aman was not amused by any sort of resistance as they cleared orb bases at the rate of one every hour.
The battle lines that were warped and zig-zagged turned into a straight line once more as the light faction unilaterally pushed back the boundary against the dark, forcing the retreating troops to abandon their orbs and fall back deeper and deeper.
Uptil now, the news that the last sovereigns had fled had not broke out amongst the masses who were still waiting for the next disc raid to gather their strength and fight back, but it was only a matter of time before the next raid was triggered and the absence of the sovereign’s was noticed.
The already low morale amongst the dark faction troops was sure to plummet to rock bottom when they found out that their leaders had fled like cowards, however, for now the dying embers of war raged on.

( Meanwhile Max )
As Max was teleported into the universal warehouse, he once again marvelled at the enormity of the place.
When he visited here last time, he only had restricted access to the place and could only choose a semi- divine technique in the form of perfect cloning, but despite what the system rated it as, that skill was the most broken ability in his arsenal.
As the saying went, ‘ There were no bad abilities, only bad users ‘
Max truly believed that ‘ Perfect Cloning ‘ was the perfect match for him as it had helped him maintain his dual identity for years and helped him through countless battles.
Now, when he was a god, and his clone was one too, the ability was more broken than ever as it effectively gave him the ability to make any one v one into a two v one battle.
Thinking that it was just a restricted ability, Max wondered what the unrestricted section held for him as he felt like a kid inside Disneyland as he happily hopped to the first aisle and began inspecting what all was stored inside.
