Protagonist?Antagonist? I Reject Both - Chapter 310: New Targets
In a dark gloomy space.
As the lid of the coffin creaked open, a figure slowly emerged, draped in darkness. With each passing moment, the vampire’s eyes flickered open, revealing a burning crimson glow that pierced through the shadows.
Sensing something amiss, the vampire’s senses heightened, and a surge of raw, primal energy coursed through their veins. A blackish fog swirled in the air, a sinister presence hovering just beyond reach.
With a hiss, the vampire rose from their resting place, muscles coiled with tension and instinctual fury. The air crackled with anticipation as the vampire’s gaze locked onto the swirling darkness, their senses honed to a razor’s edge.
In an instant, the atmosphere shifted, thickening with an aura of blood as the vampire’s killing intent radiated outwards.
The vast night sky above the Land of Vampires turned bloody as if a crimson mini had dyed the entire night sky.
Soon, a terrific bloody intent encapsulated everything.
He raised his finger pointing at a certain individual.
BOOM!
Like a burst of explosion, the entire world seemed to tremble and a muffled screeching pain radiated all around.
“What….What are you doing?”
“You fate overseer bastards…How dare you run amok my land…”
“Lord Dracula…I was just doing my duty…”
“Duty…Are you kidding me?”He snorted.
But his voice echoed like the wrath of thunder and his crimson eyes glowed with an immense ferocity.
He locked onto the obscure figure draped in darkness.
His face was disgusted as if he was seeing trash. In fact, for him, all of them were none better than trash.
A group of shady ungender cocky beings who deem themselves noble and willing to do anything to keep the order.
From birth, till they die, all they do is play chess and games deciding the sickening fate of people.
It was unacceptable for a higher being like him to be played by them.
“I warned you all…No matter what games you are playing? I don’t want any of those poisons in my clans. Yet you dare appear here trying to create those heavenly beings of destiny in my territory….”
“Didn’t you have a deal with the envoy?”
“Deal…..”His expression distorted hearing this…
“Based on a deal, we already helped in creating a destined one yet you are sneaking here once again…It seems you are all thinking of me as a joke and thinking that you can do as you please because you have the protection of fate.”
“I…”
“Shut up, die!”
He screamed and clenched his fist.
Soon an otherworldly force seemed to squeeze the obscure figure but then a golden layer was formed.
It was a layer of destiny protection.
“A mere luck trying to block this sovereign…Do you think I care if you affect me with karma?”
In the next moment, he increased his force, and then, with a pitiful scream the obscure figure burst like a balloon.
Soon, an immense roar echoed, and a dark invisible energy spread around.
“Hmm! It seems my luck value has been lowered.”
He then turned his gaze around.
In his vision, countless clusters of galaxies appeared and with a glance, he could locate several of the obscure figure-locking their eyes on the targets.
“Since we survived the last catastrophe, these mud heads want to speed up things and annihilate everything…”
Sighing heavily, he closed his eyes and slept in the coffin deciding to assimilate his energy for the brutal days ahead.
…
In the boundless expanse of the cosmos, a group of celestial beings sat perched upon the fabric of space itself.
Their figure formed a shimmering silhouette and seemed to meld seamlessly with the countless stars that stretched out endlessly in every direction.
As they gazed upon the vastness of the cosmos their presence emanated a tranquil energy, echoing the timeless rhythm of the universe.
Stars twinkled and galaxies revolved in the symphony of creation.
With a gentle gesture, the celestial reached out, tracing patterns among the constellations with fingers of light. Clusters of galaxies orbited in silent reverence, showing various patterns.
“NOT GOOD!”
The entire expanse of space started to tremble and the glowing starlight suddenly lost its shine becoming dimmer.
Hearing this, the other obscure celestial being looked up.
Their eyes narrowed as they caught faint signals transverse to them by fate.
“Things are starting to deviate from the original path.”
“Didn’t we send Fate Guardians to keep them in check so what happened now?”
“No,maybe sending them to create new beings forcefully had an adverse effect.”
At that time, a being opened his eyes.
Uncountable twinkling stars glistening and bursts out exposing amethyst color.
On the surface of the star, one could see the articulation of eyelids carved on it. As if the part of the universe serves as the person’s eyes.
“It seems, The Gods and Demons had started doing something again. The pawns have become so strong that they are now starting to disrupt the chessboard.”
A grave solemnity prevailed for a moment.
They were celestial Gods and were born from the very beginning of the world, and their job was to make sure the world flows the predetermined path but the beings who rose to the top started resisting fate, and interfered with the heavenly blessed one by derailing their fate and then took control of them.
The Blessed heavenly ones were responsible for craving a new era and to do that, they would kill the preexisting Gods and upper rulers to become new sovereigns and later they would be replaced by a new batch of heavenly blessed ones but being controlled at the later stages all of them fall short.
In response, fate started to create their nemesis by making them suffer to the point that those beings would stop at nothing but the destruction of the world.
And in this all-out war, both sides would fight till nothing remains…
However, one of the Celestial Overseers was against all this and broke free deciding to interfere to carve out a new order to stop this repeated cycle of war.
Following this, everything started to become messy.
…….
Leon walked to the platform where a group of guns were lined with a description appearing over the screen.

Scanning everything, Leon decided to take a Heavy Duty laser. It had a huge firing range and was also quite destructive.
In terms of destructiveness, it fell short of the shotgun but its long range of 2 kilometers made it more usable.
In the huge shooting range, Leon poised before a sleek, metallic laser gun with a smile.
The laser gun rested ominously, its metallic sheen reflecting the soft ambient light. With a flick of a switch, the device hummed to life, emitting a faint glow from its barrel.
Leon’s keen eyes scanned the weapon, examining every detail.
With a steady hand, he aimed the gun at a thick metal plate mounted on the far wall with a target board.
“Let’s go baby.”
Squeezing the trigger, a brilliant beam of blue light shot forth, sizzling as it struck the metal. A small hole bore through the plate, a testament to the weapon’s power.
“It’s great…”
“Leon, boost up the power.”Gwen’s voice echoed from behind.
“Sure…”
Leon cranked up the power dial, pushing the limits and setting it at man Again, he aimed, this time at a reinforced steel target across the room, and clicked.
BOOM!
The intensified beam cut through the metal effortlessly, leaving a smoking gash in its wake.
But Leon wasn’t satisfied yet. With delicate precision, he adjusted the settings for fine-tuned control.
SWISH!
A destructive beam of light shot out from the gun and then, an explosion tore through the wall.
“GWAKKKKK!”
A man with goggles screamed in terror.
“What the hell did you put it on full power? It depletes the entire crystal.”
Leon and Gwen stared at dark-eyed scientists who screamed in terror and looked at the walls.
Then both of them ignored him and went over the gun and shield.
“I still find it hard to believe. Humanity developed so much that it feels like a dream. Which high-IQ person came up with this.”
“High IQ my ass…”
Leon stared at the scientist named, Grek as he cursed around.
“Do you think it is possible to make the sudden jump in tech when everyone is putting effort into growing muscles instead of the brain?’
“Then…”
Both Leon and Gwen shook their head in confusion.
“The advancement in humanity is all because of Superhumans. One of the researchers awakened magnetism power while a few others showed an increase in intelligence. The only reason humans have since progressed is because of Superhumans.”
“Superhumans…huh…”Leon clapped his hands.
He had forgotten about them.
They were the least conspicuous and hard to find around except for random thugs.
After his Martial Spirit awakening, he used to send his ghosts to deal with them after taking the missions from Blood Net.
“Did you select your weapons..”
Argent appeared coughing a little.
“Yeah, we did…”
“That’s good then..”Argent nodded.
He had given them a tour and also made sure to give them knowledge about the Dimensions so they wouldn’t do any rash.
“The other races are soon going to visit us for a practice session or a competition. Even if you aren’t going to participate, you still take a look as you can get to know about various other races.”
“Great! That’s what I have been waiting for.”Leon raised his thumbs.
During the first session of the opening ceremony, he went to see nothing much but the group of new graduates showing off.
There wasn’t even a battle.
It was disappointing but later Argent revealed there was no fight because other races were going to visit and soon there would be a sort of battle royal.
He was eager to see new targets…he meant protagonist and antagonist.
“Brother…Can you stop that hideous smile…”
“Huh! Why?”
“It looked as if you are going to kill someone again.”
“Shut up…”
