Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 820 Half And Half Aren’t Possible

Creeaaaaakkk!

Lith pushed open the gate and walked inside the room, caring not for any potential threats that there may be.

A Supreme Rank was with him, so there was no need to fear anything.

As the door opened up, a large dark room appeared right in front of Lith and Fei.

There was a red hue within this room, bringing forth a creepy ambience.

It wasn't creepy to Lith though since he was a Vampire. It was rather cozy here.

Going inside this creepy room, Lith saw gigantic red tubes going right above the ceiling and beneath the ground.

Bubbling noise of water could be heard within them and walking close to one of the tubes, a faint scent of blood assaulted Lith's nose.

He touched the tube and tried to feel what was inside.

A burning sensation went through his hand as he touched it and in the next few instances, he felt some blood essence seeping through the boiling liquid within these tubes.

This blood definitely belonged to a Vampire and amused by it, Lith followed the tubes going up the ceiling with Fei.

Lith and Fei were too lazy to find paths leading up, so they simply smashed a hole in the ceiling and went high up.

Reaching the top of the room, the sight Lith saw made him frown and be disgusted.

There were tens of Vampires confined to their coffins and right beside them were Humans.

Multiple small tubes etched with ancient inscriptions flowed through the two species and the disgusting thing about them was that their flesh and bones were getting exchanged.

The Vampires were half decayed while the Humans were disfigured due to new flesh and bones joining with their physiques.

This sight was so disgusting that Lith felt like puking.

"How can someone even think of this? It's absolutely absurd." Lith commented.

Fei, standing beside him and looking at the scene with a neutral look, replied, "I think they wanted the best of both worlds, Master."

"Seems like it." Lith said and walked close to inspect the abnormal 'creatures'.

These guys couldn't be deemed as Humans or Vampires anymore. They were totally different from the norms.

Squatting down and checking the Human that had Vampire flesh wielded on him, Lith said, "Fei, have you ever seen a Half-Vampire Half-Human?"

Fei shook her head. "That's not possible to happen."

Lith raised an eyebrow at what he heard. "Why's that?"

For some reason, there really were no hybrids in this world and it was not even a joke.

When Lith had arrived in this world and saw the races existing in peace, he assumed that interspecies marriages were quite common. Hence, hybrids would be quite common too.

But to his surprise, there really were no hybrids. Not even one that was known.

Whenever two people reproduce, the child born would be the same species as one of its parents. There was no in between.

Lith didn't understand why such a phenomenon existed and he never got the time to research it either.

Well, part of the reason he didn't research was because he was busy. But now that he saw someone trying to create a hybrid, the question popped up again in his mind.

Fei, being questioned by her Master, answered, "Well, Master… it's just how nature is. Even though the child would belong to…"

Fei gave a long answer to what Lith had asked her, but to shorten it down, the reason was simply nature.

Nature didn't allow hybrids as they were not proper. What it did allow however was evolution and passing down of the traits.

For instance, if a Vampire and a Human had a child, and let's say the child was born as a Vampire… the child could gain the intelligence of a Human and have a huge potential in cultivation.

Likewise, if the child was born a Human, it could have the regeneration, bloodthirst and cruelty of a Vampire and so on.

There could never be mixing of the two like the child being Half Vampire and Human as that would be really conflicting and unstable.

Nature loved stability and everything was designed in such a complexly perfect way that having imperfections was nigh impossible.

A Vampire and a Human's child couldn't be distinguished as a half-half, but the child could definitely inherit abilities.

If one were to dive deep into this matter, a perfect example of things would be Dennis.

Dennis had an Angel in the ancestry from his mother's side.

Even though his mother didn't have any traits regarding that of an Angel, Dennis sure did inherit one thing, that being the Light affinity.

Dennis was one of those rare Vampires with a Light affinity and this was the result of interspecies interactions.

To sum up, a Human and a Vampire could have a baby, but the chances of the baby inheriting all the good properties of their parents was impossible. Only a select few things would be passed down.

If there wasn't such a thing, there would be far too many overpowered individuals in the world. They could have limitless potential and cause chaos as easy as flicking a finger.

Fei explained all of this as if it was only natural while Lith had some other profound thoughts on this.

He came from a world where there wasn't magic or swords or anything per se. But, the knowledge of genetics was vast and from it, he could decipher a few things regarding the passing down of traits.

Something similar was happening here and stability was thus ensured.

Lith was amused by it and looking at the disfigured creatures in front, he saw a live example of what would happen if one were to mess with nature.

Some things were better left untouched.

"Anyway, did you see anyone in the vicinity?" Lith asked, looking around and finding no one to be there.

Fei shook her head. "Maybe they left after noticing our intrusion."

Lith rubbed his chin. "Should we use Time spells to check?"

Fei shrugged. "It's your call, Master. I'm ever ready."

Lith asked her that because he didn't want to use spells on this, for he had a general idea as to who might be the culprit.

It was a fact that the Human Society was divided into factions. One wanted world dominance, another was against it, and the third one was neutral about it.

Time and again, this was proven pretty easily and the one that was harming the Vampired and trying to develop a hybrid was definitely someone who belonged to the warring faction.

Yexin was a prime suspect in this since she belonged to the warring faction and everything was happening near her kingdom.

She had kept it hidden that she wanted the Humans to rule and portrayed herself as someone from the neutral faction, but via Neo, Lith knew it was just a façade.

Lith got up and paced around this room with dead Vampires and Humans.

The Vampires were so decayed that he couldn't even guess who these guys were. From their clothing though, he deciphered them belonging to Baron and Viscount houses.

His subjects had died and no matter how notorious they may be, they were his people and he had to look after them.

Lith didn't want to kill the Humans really as they were needed for multiple things. Plus, the death of these nobles was natural selection.

If these nobles couldn't protect themselves for some mere Humans, then they were better off dead.

Humans had beef with everybody and everybody had beef with Humans. It was just how it was and a few people getting killed by them was not something shocking or alarming.

Lith's only reason for visiting this site was to see if these guys were plotting to wipe out a major population of Vampires or were just experimenting to make a proper hybrid.

From the looks of it, the latter seemed like a greater possibility, but one could never be sure and thus, Lith's attention now was to check whether they were plotting something big or not.

The best way he could find this was simply by questioning people.

The first person who was in his mind for this was naturally the prime suspect Yexin.

She was an Emperor Rank and not someone Lith feared.

Neo hadn't interacted with people above King Rank since he was weak and could get killed, but Lith was different.

He could literally go up to the Human Ancestor and slap his face without problems if needed. His authority was just this strong.

"Alright then, Fei. Let's go have a chat with Yexin." Lith said and put on a black top hat, complimenting his formal suit.

Lith was dressed like a Victorian Era's noble and this was the theme the whole of Vampire Society followed.

He could wear anything and it would compliment his looks, a rare charisma only he possessed due to how handsome he was.

Thus, he never had to worry about anything and usually dressed in simple formal attire that brought out more of him and increased his overall charisma.

Fei nodded her head at Lith's comment and along with him, left the place to go see Yexin.
