Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint

The Progenitor, Tyrkanzyaka, possessed overwhelming power, yet she was once just a young girl who had died before even reaching the end of her natural lifespan. She only had a bit of knowledge about the human body, and by sheer coincidence and relentless determination, she became the Progenitor.

Because of this, Tyrkanzyaka herself was not suited for battle.
She had no combat experience in life, nor had her body fully matured.
Thus, she needed warriors to fight in her stead and revived them with bloodcraft.

Even after accumulating centuries of experience, Tyrkanzyaka had only grown somewhat accustomed to battle.
Yet she still lacked the knowledge to fully wield her overflowing power.

In contrast, every Elder was a warrior who had once dominated an era, their names etched into history.

Tyrkanzyaka was no pushover, but now, with her power diminished, facing all of these Elders at once…

It was practically impossible.

The moment Tyrkanzyaka realized her own helplessness, she trembled with rage.

“You dare… defy me?”
“That’s right. They’re bad people. We should remind them who truly owns their lives.”

Thankfully, not all of the Elders were against her.

Kabilla, standing alone by the Progenitor’s side, embraced her and whispered:

“Just for a moment. Just return to how you were, even for a moment.”

“Calm your restless heart. Become the Cold-Blooded Queen once more and punish them.”

“Whether you forgive them or kill them and take their True Blood—it’s your choice, Sister.”

Tyrkanzyaka’s authority had crumbled, but that authority had always stemmed from her power.

If she regained her strength, then both her lost authority and her deserting Elders would inevitably return.

…The only thing that wouldn’t return was their faith that she would remain unchanged.

“You’ll regain the right to ‘choose.’ Just as you always have.”@@novelbin@@

Tyrkanzyaka’s eyes trembled slightly.

That was true.

This situation seemed dire, yet there was an easy and simple way to overcome it.

She just had to split open her own body and remove the card that touched her heart—Spade 1.

If she did, she would lose her heartbeat.
Her senses would dull.
And Tyrkanzyaka would once again become the ruler of blood, bringing every vampire back under her control.
