Chapter 783 Alter Ego

The Eighth Progenitor heavily gulped down his saliva before replying, "I just asked why the nine Dreamcatchers were struggling so much under the gravitational pressure despite possessing superior cultivation to us, Vampire Lords, Great Devil Hecate."

"I didn't mean anything malicious by it! It was just a genuine curiosity! Please believe me!" the Eighth Progenitor pleaded.

Although he received compensation last time after bearing Hecate's divine pressure, he might not be so lucky this time. After all, Hecate couldn't have too many vials of Soul Replenishing Essence.

As such, he was truly afraid of losing more lifespan.

"My deepest apologies, Mistress. I was the one who led everyone to compete under the gravitational pressure," First Dream admitted to her mistake before explaining, "I felt that it was a rare chance to strengthen our divine bodies as we waited for your return."

Hecate was speechless.

The Vampire Lords practiced blood cultivation, which was a mix of energy and body cultivation.

On the other hand, what the Dreamcatchers practiced was soul cultivation exclusively.

As such, it was natural for the Vampire Lords to be superior to them in bearing the gravitational pressure due to their advantage in the body aspect. Furthermore, the Dreamcatchers weren't even using the full might of their soul power to resist the gravitational pressure.

Otherwise, how could they lose to the Vampire Lords when they have higher cultivation?

"That's enough. I won't single any of you out. All of you will reflect on your mistake in the Blizzard Hell Prison for three months when we return," Hecate coolly stated.

"Yes, Mistress!" the nine Dreamcatchers answered simultaneously without a hint of complaint. In fact, they even wanted to smile with glee.

After all, three months in the Blizzard Hell Prison couldn't be considered a punishment to them.

Although the Blizzard Hell Prison was a special cold place for holding criminals and making them suffer from freezing temperatures, it was also a great place to temper the divine soul.

In other words, Hecate was simply sending them to cultivate.

Nevertheless, after Hecate's issue with her Dreamcatchers was settled, she shifted her attention to the Vampire Lords.

Although Vaan had a plan for the Vampire Lords and the Evernight Territory, it seemed Hecate also had her own ideas on the matter. As such, he might as well leave it to her to handle.

As such, only the remaining eighth Vampire Lords could be a problem.

Nevertheless, no one in their right mind would challenge the decision of a Great Devil. Even if the Vampire Lords were reluctant, they would still have to accede.

"No problem," the Vampire Lords simultaneously replied.

"Good!" Hecate nodded before continuing, "However, I am still the Great Devil of the Dreamdust Territory. My time and energy are limited; I can't focus too much on the affairs of the Evernight Territory."

"So, I will appoint a representative to manage it in my stead. Sir Vaan, do you have any candidates in mind?" Hecate asked.

Vaan nodded.

Since Hecate let him make the choice, he naturally had to appoint his people to the position.

"The Eighth Progenitor will be diligent representative for you, Lady Hecate," Vaan mentioned.

"Very well," Hecate nodded and said, "Then you will be my representative, Eighth Progenitor."

"I am honored to receive this opportunity and trust. I will not disappoint you, Great Devil Hecate and my Lord!" the Eighth Progenitor immediately accepted with joy and excitement.

"You better pray you won't," Hecate calmly acknowledged before returning her attention to the rest of the Vampire Lords.

The Vampire Lord suddenly felt nervous due to the tension in the brief silence.

"Now that my representative has been chosen, I will give you my first order as your unofficial ruler: You... you! You! And you! Fuck off! Fuck off! Fuck off! In fact, all of you scram back to Gehenna for me!"

"Without further word from me, no one is permitted to cross the dimension and enter Pangea! The same is applied the other way around! If you understand, then quickly scram!" Hecate thundered menacingly.

Her sudden intimidation and oppression exploded so abruptly that it shocked everyone. The peaceful atmosphere was instantly drowned in the heavy stench of malice, death, and dread.

It was as if an entirely different person had taken control of Hecate's body.

The Vampire Lords instinctively scurried off in full compliance in that very instant, not daring to look back. Hecate's alter ego frightened the wits out of them.

Even Vaan was dumbfounded with his eyes widened.
