Chapter 837: Reaching Out

After having used Divine Power to attain a new Divine Ability that allowed me to bypass the divine barrier protecting Ruby's mind and soul from outside intervention, I was able to communicate with her, first connecting with her soul once more through the Divine Dragon Mark, and ultimately managing to speak with her. The moment she responded to my call, she spoke with a very timid voice, she seemed to be incredibly afraid. My heart quickly began to shatter, I couldn't help but imagine what she was going through.

"Ruby! Are you alright? Where are you? What happened?"

"Uncle Drake…! H-How can you speak into my mind from so far away? I-I thought the pendant had a barrier that didn't allowed anyone to speak into my mind…"

"I have my special ways… More importantly, what happened? Tell me! Everyone is worried!"

"I-I can't… I… Please let's not talk anymore…"

"What?!"

"I don't want to trouble you anymore; I don't want to put any more burdens… The conflicts with the gods… with my ancestor… It is something I have to deal with alone…"

"Don't talk nonsense like that to me!"

"Huh?! I-It is not nonsense… I shouldn't let you get involved… You're not people that has anything to do with this!"

"You're already our family, Ruby! Rakasha is like your father, isn't he? My daughter… she considers you her friend! There's no way in hell I am leaving my friend's daughter to get sacrificed to an insane edgy vampire dumbass!"

"B-But these aren't your problems!"

"They are! The moment you became our family, your problems are OUR problems!"

"T-This is… I… But if I go back, my ancestor will take over me and make me kill you all!"

"Seriously, Ruby, did you believed such a lie?"

"L-Lie…?"

"Rose and the other Vampire Ghosts told me everything, they said there's no way the pendant can even do that! It even let you teleport where you are only because you already had that power within you, it merely granted you a small amount of leftover divine power. As long as your ancestor hasn't been reincarnated, he's powerless, and even more as [Fate] is still active, and suppressing his existence."

"T-That's… It can't be…"

"It is the truth! You were tricked by him! And even if it were true, I would simply devour your pendant and his soul through my powers. I have even absorbed the inheritance of a venerable of dreams! Do you truly believe I can't do the same with this little pendant?"

"Uncle…"

"Ruby, we kind of figured most of what happened but tell me, how are you? What is your current condition, and where do they have you?"

I quickly asked the big questions as I didn't had the time to simply ask her little things. I also had to mention that I made it so the time inside my divine realm went back to 1:1 from the real world, this way I can speak with Ruby without problems or delays. I had to quickly learn where she was to immediately move there and begin doing everything I can to rescue her, but I also wanted to know how imminent was her danger.

"I am in my room… I am being watched by special golems, but they cannot read my mind." Said Ruby. "The woman… The "Lady" said that I would soon be reborn as a Vessel of my Ancestor… Whenever the next red moon comes to the sky, when [Fate] weakens for strange motives…"

"[Fate] weakens…? How long do you have left?" I wondered.

"I asked my mother but she didn't wanted to answer me… She seemed sad. But when I asked a servant, he said the Red Moon is an event that happens every five thousand years, the next one would emerge in a month and a week from now…" Said Ruby.

"A month and a week… well, that's a good amount of time to prepare, nonetheless. We'll get there as soon as possible, alright?" I asked.

"Y-You're really coming? It is dangerous… That Lady… She's a Goddess of Rank 8! H-How would you be able to fight against someone so powerful? And she has many other Gods obeying her…"

"Gods cannot harm mortals as long as they are facing the heavens of this world, they might be able if they throw you inside their divine realm, but I can find some ways to surprise them, after all, they're not aware I am a god…" I said. "Nonetheless, I have a vast amount of plans that will surely give me more power. I want you to hang on there until then."

"A-Are you sure? This is too much… You shouldn't…!"

"That Lady is a fragment of the soul of Oberon, that she's working with your ancestor means that your ancestor is my enemy now. I hate Oberon for what he did to Benladann, and for what he had been doing to reincarnated people since he was alive… I won't allow his schemes to come to fruition. You're part of it, so of course I am going to save you!"

"Uncle…"

"You need to be strong, Ruby! For now, I want you to memorize the entire place in there, the more you remember, the better, you hear me?"

"Y-Yes!"

"Good, now, I will let you speak with Rakasha."

"Eh?!"

"You'll have to apologize to him, he's too old to get so concerned!"

"O-Okay!"

At the end, I explained Rakasha what happened, the powers I got to talk with Ruby, and more, and quickly allowed him to speak with Ruby once more, the two seemed to be happy to be able to speak with one another, and Ruby seemed to grow slightly more reassured. This was all a mistake I committed; I should had dealt with her pendant earlier. Now I will merely take responsibility for it and save Ruby. I was already going to clash against that bitch of Red sooner or later. I will first grab some more power and then… I'll do everything I can to crush her to death.
