Indignation!
This was the feeling pervading the hearts of all beings watching, regardless of their status or situation. While Draco’s words did highlight the gap between all creatures - assuming they were true - it was not enough for him to speak to them like this!
"Ah, I can fell your anger…" Draco spoke eerily with a look of euphoria.
"However, its pointless. You look at me now, perfect and glorious as I am, so powerful that I can make nuclear warheads look like jokes and a ruler of a power that span an entire game world, and think I was always like this."
Draco’s smile became cold. "But that isn’t the case. My qualifications to rule all doesn’t stem from the mere fact that I possess nearly infinite power waiting to be tapped, but also because I achieved greatness without having even a lick of my innate power granted me."
Draco glanced away, to the sky. "But you wouldn’t understand. Anyway, that’s enough talking, tis time for me to put my words in action."
With a simple snap of his finger, the trio who stood in the middle of the street suddenly warped through space, appearing right before the World Council Headquarters located in the Central Country’s Capital State.
At this time, the guards outside the building were all dazed as they were paying attention to the broadcast from Draco, their weapons held slack as they felt overwhelmed by the truth. The next moment, they were shocked to find that they were in the focus of the broadcast, meaning that the camera was now on them!

The fellows snapped to the side then faced the camera, raising their arms to try and intimidate Draco, not realizing the futility of their actions. Or maybe they did, but facing a being like Draco who had shown them his power so far, doing this was all they could to muster some courage.Draco didn’t waste words playing with peons. A simple flick of his finger and these fellows were displaced through spacetime, their bodies not even having the chance to be buried by their loved ones.
"Follow closely." Draco commanded Nadia and her cameraman, turning his head slightly backwards to face them.
Seeing his gleaming green eyes full of superiority and callousness, Nadia at this moment felt her entire body throbbing with both fear and awe, subconsciously nodding her head. Meanwhile, the cameraman was completely alarmed and sweating profusely, as if he was caught within the web of a spider, unable to break free no matter what.
Draco pushed out, using his massive telekinetic power to blast open the doorway of the headquarters building and waltz in like he owned the place. Naturally, the defenders within the building rushed over per their training to try and stop him, but their fates were quite gruesome and Draco squeezed with his mind, crushing them all into balls of flesh.
The sudden and sheer brutality caused those watching to feel faint, wondering what the hell had changed. Just now this fellow was acting goofy and playful, with a hint of menacing charm and now he had turned full on psychopath and was killing innocent people with a lazy expression?!
Draco walked along the hallways, waving a finger left and right as he released invisible waves of power that turned everything and everyone, staff or otherwise, into piles of meat all around him, causing the entire lobby floor to be soaked with blood.
The truly cruel aspect of this was that he didn’t even offer the audience and explanation for his actions. Just a few minutes ago, he elaborated on the origins of the human race after saying he would take down the world council, then came here killing mercilessly.
At least state why you were doing this! Was it to send a message? To show the gap between a powerhouse like you and ants like us? Or did you just do it because you could? RâΝỌꞖËS̈
Every life that was ruthlessly taken was like a needle being pierced into the hearts of onlookers because they simply could not understand why. Those who had silently supported Draco after hearing him speak as well as those who crushed on him for his handsomeness were utterly pale, being made to see a side of him they never expected.
If one were to measure Draco’s approval ratings now, it would be less than 2%. No matter his previous actions, his words or his position and achievements, he had practically negated it all with this action, causing many to resent and fear him at this moment.
Even some members of Umbra were unable to speak, because no matter what cruelty they had done in Boundless, it was still a game world. Minus the core members who were not affected because they often pulled real world stunts together with Draco, this was a trying moment for the others who believed in him.
Eventually, the young man reached the elevator and pushed the button, entering with the pale Nadia and the cameraman. Draco then selected the council chambers and listened the jazz elevator music that played while it rose up.
This time, the pale faced Nadia glanced at her near frozen cameraman and mustered her courage to speak.
"Erm... Lord Draco, what is our goal here?" Nadia asked carefully.
"Be quiet." Draco replied coldly, not turning his head back to loom at the person speaking to him.
Forget Nadia, even those watching felt a chill in their hearts from the frostiness of Draco’s tone. What was even more confusing and heart stopping was the fact that from his side profile, it was clear that Draco was actually smiling relatively pleasantly, like a person who seemed approachable.
Yet his words and actions were anything but.
DING!
The elevator reached its destination and opened up to reveal a hallways that was devoid of people. Actually, there had been guards out here, but they also rushed into the council chambers upon prompt by the council, allowing Draco to walk down the hallway and reached the large double doors that led into the council room.
Draco flicked a finger and rather gently opened this particular door, allowing the world to have a glimpse into the fabled council room. Usually, the council did not even deign to gazette their meetings like typical summits, as the things they discussed were not something that anyone could be privy to.
The room revealed the nine councilors in their seats, their expressions varied but full of solemnity. The guards stood before the technicians who operated within the room, the bunch cowering in one corner, trying to avoid coming into focus for Draco.
However, it changed nothing as a simple release of dark power formed tendrils that pierced through the bodies of everyone in the room minus the councilors and Draco’s two tag-a-longs, lifting them up as they screamed in agony and smashed them against the walls and floor.
Eventually, the tendrils began sucking the blood of the victims they pierced, draining it along to Draco’s shadow where they spawned from. Draco made no acknowledgment of the vampire-like act and rather walked forward to stand in the center of the room, looking at each of the nine councilors whose expressions had distorted due to the gruesome scene they just witnessed.
"Well, well, well. After two lifetimes, I finally get to stand in the room where the fates of the world are decided. Who would have though that the measly vice guild leader of Darkrow and future guild master of Hellscape would ever achieve this?" Draco said emotionally.
Whether it was those in the room or those watching, they were completely confused, unable to understand neither his words nor his meaning, but there were two people watching this who understood his sentiment.
Both Eva and Shuangtian felt emotional as well, because even Eva as the next ruler of Japan had only ever been allowed to the second floor of this headquarters, while Draco, despite having a literal nuke, was only ever allowed to come to wait for Nathan Rothschild in the lobby.
No matter how potent their power in the previous timeline, they were still unqualified to stand before the world council. Even in this timeline, challenging the world council would have been difficult if not for the birth if Lucitera that unlocked the bloodline shackles on Draco and Eva, allowing them to achieve 100% purity.
With a mere 99%, Draco wouldn’t even dare to return to the Lucifer Lineage to take control and act so arrogant, much less challenge the world council who had a hundred ways to play him to death.
But in the face of absolute power, all manner of nonsense was blown away.
"Young man, you have proven your point. You have shown the world your power and also enlightened all of us to our heritage. If you want to take the helm of humanity and guide us to a better future, I am not averse to this." James Rockefeller, ever the stable one, spoke first in a deep tone.
Draco was pulled out of his reverie and glanced at James with a strange smile. "You? Since when did I need the acceptance of a weakling like you? I could effortlessly turn you into mince meant and feed your corpse to your children for dinner."
The belligerent words made James’ face change slightly, but he only clenched his fist and did not say anything.
"Oh, good self control. There is a reason why you can take some sort of control of this motley group after all." Draco remarked with visible approval.
"And? Do any of you have something to say? Say it now while we’re in the talking phase, because once the actions tarts, you may never get a chance to." Draco prompted with a provocative smile.
There was a short spell of silence as the nine councilors became pale, until David Collins stood up and walked over with a smile on his face. On his way over, he glanced at Nadia and her cameraman, whose eyes showed surprise when they glanced at him.
"Well, I do have something to say!" David said boldly, coming to stand before Draco.
"Hoh? And what would that be?" Draco inquired as his eyes flashed with deep amusement.
David Collins shocked everyone in the room, and even those watching from afar, when he bowed deeply with a respectful smile.
"That I would like to greet you as a fellow Superior Lord working towards the same goal!" Davin revealed, his bronze eyes that possessed white rings glowing as they shifted into a purple color like his hair.
Nadia and her cameraman exclaimed with shock while the pupils of the other nine councilors constricted into needlepoints. Draco, who already expected this and knew what would happen from the moment he entered this room, simply chuckled.
"A variant vampire lord? So it was you who sent Jamilee to the Judge Panel for Boundless vs The World back then."
David nodded as he stood up. "That’s right. I saw the request for assistance come in from a fellow Superior Lord and wanted to do a favor, but who would have known what you’d become? Anyway, its great to finally meet you."
"Likewise. Alright, since you’re one of ours, you can stand behind me." Draco said casually, making David feel relieved.
Draco’s eyes fell on the remaining councilors who now had grim expressions and he couldn’t help but smile. "What, you think that’s it? I’m sorry to say that there’s more to come."
"Isn’t that right Mr Nakamoto?" Draco turned to the second councilor with a mocking smile.
Yuuto Nakamoto did not seem offended, rather his grime expression warping to a fawning one as he stood up, walking to Draco and bowed subserviently.
"I serve the one True Goddess, the Brilliant Amaterasu and the Radiant Eva!" He said worshipfully, making Draco’s smile rise even more.
Draco shrugged and made a look of helplessness to the shocked world council. "Hey, don’t look at me like I did it. I literally just learned right now that he is a chess piece my wife’s family placed here since its inception to seek better interest for them."
