Within the palace, Tenraku sat upon the throne that once belonged to Queen Carmilla, with Carmilla Queen Akasha, and Katerea seated on his left and right sides.

"Akasha, are Ddraig and Albion's bodies ready for resurrection?"

The main purpose of their visit this time was to resurrect Ddraig and Albion, so Tenraku inquired.

"Yes, Master. The bodies for the two Heavenly Dragons' resurrection are ready. The final adjustments are underway, and they should be ready for use by tomorrow." Akasha replied while lying in Tenraku's embrace.

"Tomorrow..."

"Give me a report on the current situation here."

After nodding, Tenraku continued.

"Yes, Master."

With deference and obedience, Akasha and Katerea proceeded to report on the current state of the Vampire domain to Tenraku.

Upon their departure from the Vampire territory, Akasha immediately summoned all her key subordinates and implanted a Seed of Belief in each of them. With the assistance of Katerea and her female magicians, they transformed all the female Vampire subordinates into Tenraku's believers.

With all the upper echelons under control, the next steps became much easier. Akasha, in her capacity as Vampire Queen, officially declared that from then on, the Vampire race would serve and follow the Red Dragon Emperor, Kamiya Tenraku. 

All Vampires were required to become believers of Kamiya Tenraku and regard him as their Holy Lord of the Gods.

As expected, Akasha's proclamation caused a great uproar among the entire Vampire race. While the Red Dragon Emperor had been a great benefactor in saving their Vampire race, the idea of having everyone believe in him and regard him as a Holy Lord of the Gods was met with disbelief. 

After all, they were proud and cold-blooded Vampires who ruled over darkness. They would never believe in any Gods, especially considering that Kamiya Tenraku was just a Devil!

Despite the vehement protests from some Vampires, in a society where power was paramount and hierarchy strict, the objections of the low-class Vampires held no meaning. The decision had been made by the Queen, elders, and all the upper echelons, and they were to obey!

Akasha's decree that all Vampires must believe in the Red Dragon Emperor, Kamiya Tenraku, was not a suggestion or a matter of free choice— it was a command that must be obeyed!

With her authoritative and ruthless command, those Vampires who vehemently opposed were swiftly captured and brainwashed by Katerea and her experienced female magicians, forcibly converted into Tenraku's believers.

In addition, Akasha also ordered the construction of churches and the casting of God's Idols throughout the Vampire territory. Every Vampire citizen was issued a copy of the Gods and Demons Scripture, commanding them to pray to the Holy Lord in front of the churches or God's Idol every day.

Under these stringent orders and measures, the ancient Vampire kingdom underwent a rapid transformation and rebirth, emerging as the Land of Belief in Tenraku!

"Now, all the Vampires in the royal city have become believers of the Master. Although there are still some stubborn dissenters in remote cities, we will deal with them soon. Before long, all Vampires will become the most faithful followers and servants of the Master." Queen Carmilla spoke while lying in Tenraku's embrace.

Having personally turned her country and race into the possessions of the man before her, Akasha felt no sorrow or regret. Instead, she considered it the greatest honor for her and their race!

"You've done well, Akasha."

After praising her, Tenraku lowered his head and kissed Akasha's lips.

Enthralled and submissive, Akasha responded continuously until both were satisfied and separated.

Standing up, Tenraku picked up Akasha and Katerea and headed toward the resting palace of the Queen.

For his hardworking and capable tools, Tenraku naturally intended to reward them properly.

"You two, come in as well."

Tenraku's voice rang out, and then Anpusha, with a touch to her lips, followed by Raynare, Walburga, and several other Vampire elders, entered together...

The next morning, under the care of two beautiful Vampire handmaidens, Tenraku dressed himself in his clothes.

The entire resting palace was littered with fragments of various garments, and on a jade couch nearby lay the beautiful bodies of Carmilla Queen, Raynare, Walburga, and Anpusha Scarlett, among other Vampire elders, arranged like works of art.

"Holy Lord-sama, Lamya-sama and Elmen-sama seek an audience."

A female Vampire guard entered and respectfully addressed Tenraku.

"They're finally here..."

"Let them in."

With a slight smile, Tenraku replied.

"Yes."

The Vampire guard withdrew, and before long, Lamya and her daughter Elmen entered from outside.

"Master."

"Tenraku-sama..."

Approaching, both mother and daughter bowed to Tenraku, who sat on the throne.

Naturally, they noticed the scene on the couch. Lamya remained composed, but Elmen couldn't help feeling her heart pounding heavily.

Were the things Okaa-Sama told her really true? Had their Vampire race really...?

"Elmen, come here."

Patting his leg, Tenraku spoke.

Almost subconsciously obeying Tenraku's command, Elmen stood in front of him. After hesitating for a moment, she sat on his lap.

"You must have many questions for me, right? Feel free to ask whatever you want, and I'll tell you everything you want to know." Tenraku said while gently caressing Elmen's delicately crafted face like a doll's.

"Tenraku-sama, have you really taken control of our Vampire race?" Biting her lip, Elmen finally spoke.

Though the facts were already laid out before her eyes, she still wanted to confirm it from Tenraku-sama's own mouth.

"Yes, indeed. Initially, I made a deal with your Queen. I helped you eliminate those Evil Dragons, and she offered her body as payment. However, there were some unexpected incidents during the payment process. Your Queen attempted to control my soul with her abilities."

"But her power ultimately failed. Instead of controlling me, she was controlled by me."

"Although she had gathered all the elders, including your mother, as a backup plan to confront me, Anpusha Scarlett betrayed her and sided with me. As a result, your Queen, as well as your Okaa-Sama, all fell under my control and became my tools and possessions."

"Now that I have taken control of your Queen and your mother, I naturally won't let the entire Vampire race slip by."

"I have established a Saints and Demons Religion with myself as the authority and the deity. I need a large number of believers who believe in me, and your Vampire race is the most suitable candidate. That's why all these things happened afterward."

Without holding back, Tenraku recounted everything to Elmen.

Her face turned pale, and her whole body couldn't help but tremble slightly. Even though she had heard all these facts from her Okaa-Sama before, hearing them directly from Tenraku-sama still deeply shook Elmen.

So many things had happened without her knowing...
