Shortly after the meeting of the Blood Lords, deep within Yharnam Citadel, two shadow figures with nothing but crimson eyes visible were looking at each other.
“They have decided to intervene in the war.”
Stated one of the figures.
“Indeed. It is was only a matter of time, before Church and Heaven would have forced them upon this decision. They have become too aggressive.”
Said another one.
“What if the plan of Satans fails and Yahweh won’t be restrained and will attack us?”
Asked the first one.
“What else, we will escape to the Dimensional Gap.”
Said the second one.
“That is always a choice. Our aim is only to regain our strength and return to the Divine Blood Plane. Nothing else matters, the only important thing in the lives of the Main Families of our blood, everything else is irrelevant. While I thought that you would have preferred to stay and fight to the death, Alucard.”
Said the first one.
“Indeed, but due to our injuries, we are reduced to weak Apocalypse-Class individuals. Without the blood of enough other Apocalypse-Class powerhouses, we won’t be able to return to our peak fast.”
Answered back the second now, Alucard.
“It is still all your fault. Due to your stupid idea of exploring that creepy newly found Universe and subsequently being attacked by that Chaos God. Both of us were nearly killed and crippled, to extent that even some random new Apocalypse-Class can bully us.”
Said the first shadow to Alucard.
“Shut up Brunestud. Who would have known that place will already have four Great Old Ones. It looked like a new Universe, that was only a few tens of millions of years old. Nobody would think such place would have even one Great Old One, not to mention four of them.”
Shot back Alucard to Brunestud.
“Ts. Still, we will watch and sit. Maybe collect the blood of Devils, Angels, and Fallen. It is precious of our species.”

In the meeting hall of Blood Lords, several hours later
Zekram was soon enough called by four Blood Lords to hear out their decision.
“Great King of Bael, we agree to your proposal, but we have one condition, for us to deploy our legions.”
Said Blood Lord Alexstrazs Brunestud, while Zekram revealed a small smile hearing this.
“What condition?”
“We wish to harvest blood from corpses of Devils, Fallen Angels, and Angels.”
Hearing this, Zekram was inwardly happy. On such a chaotic battlefield, nobody would care about corpses of killed, maybe with exception of several people who would get a proper burial, but that was all. Practically Vampires and Kindreds would be doing a cleaning job.
“To that, we agree.”
Said Zekram slowly.
“Then it is decided. We will meet on the battlefield.”
After giving a small bow to the four Blood Lords, Zekram left the meeting hall and went to the waiting lobby where Viktor was already waiting for him.
“From your expression, I can see, that they have decided to wage war?”
Asked Viktor with a feral grin over his face.
“Yes, indeed. It will be a glorious war. Heaven is stronger than us individually, so we need to mobilize our advantages. Also, be careful of Church, they have a lot of Sacred Gear users, if possible, try to capture them alive and extract their Sacred Gears before killing them. As long Church doesn’t get back Sacred Gears, its power would be cut tremendously in upcoming centuries.”
The power of the Church came from three aspects. The greatest amount of it came from Heaven in form of Angels, that tended to participate in exorcism missions. The second was from the huge number of exorcists that the Church was capable of producing. The last one was in form of Sacred Gear users which were all controlled by the Church. The strongest Sacred Gears users, could rival even early-stage Satan-Class, which was pretty terrifying itself, as we are talking about pure humans that reached this stage, even if it is with help of equipment.
Zekram would rather see those things being locked deep within vaults of the Yharnam, rather than being allowed once again to return to the hands of the Church. Of course, if possible, he too wanted to obtain them, but mainly because of Yahweh, he decided against it. Another deterrent was that all of them were directly connected to God’s System in Heaven.
“So we will meet on the battlefield. Are you going to convince more Pantheons to attack them if this mess officially starts?”
Asked Viktor as he was aware that Heaven and Church had away too many enemies. They could enjoy their superior position mainly because Primordial Divinity Stage Gods of other Pantheons were incapable of taking action and Yahweh was one himself, and relatively strong one. But alas, now if Four Great Satans were restraining him, all enemies would start baring their fangs.
“Yes, my next stop is Olympus. My associate would be going to the Asgard and Takagahamara.”
Said Zekram to Viktor, whose eyes twitched a little hearing Olympus.
“Hmm… Greeks are arrogant, too much for their own good, but thanks to that arrogance they will probably strike hardest out of all against Yahweh. It was he who ended their golden age. And about Asgard, the only thing I can say… good luck. That place is getting messier with each passing month.”
Said Viktor grimly mentioning the situation of Asgard.
“Odin and Hela, I wonder if it will really lead to the civil war. That is not the best outcome for us.”
Stated Zekram.
“Who knows. Maybe Hela will desert, and become a local warlord. Who knows. She is no match for Odin, and she knows it, but she has wide support of Berserkers and Einherjar Armies, millions are willing to follow her.”
Said Viktor his opinion over the matter.
“It is not surprising. Aesir are battle race, waging war is in their blood.”
Said Zekram, while his mind thought about other things.
‘I wonder… maybe he can convince her to join. If he did that, it would be wonderful… Emotionally Hela is on the level of a child, maybe seducing her isn’t that hard. Seducing Goddes of Death… what a nice shock it would be, young Lucifer.’
