Vampire Overlord System in the Apocalypse

-----

As Noah decided his next course of action, a sudden wave of strange energy hit him in the middle of their breakfast.

Boom!

"Nnnghh?!"

Noah felt that it came right from the skies themselves. It somehow went through Scarlet without any problem and reached the depths of his soul in an instant!

Iris and the rest quickly realized that something was going on, as Noah was gnashing his teeth while his nails were grasping the wooden table with a lot of strength, his entire body was trembling, and his eyes were completely bloodshot!

"N-Noah, what's happening?" asked Iris, rushing at the side of her husband.

"Something… this is… No…! It is God?!" thought Noah, immediately realizing that the sudden feeling as if an enormous hand grasping his very soul was no one else than the entity they were speaking about just a few minutes ago, God!

Noah closed his eyes as he concentrated his intent into the depths of his soul, reaching where the problem was happening!

He found himself in the dark space inside of his soul, as he saw what seemed to be a glowing, semi-transparent cube floating.

This cube had many circuit-like extensions that reached even to the outside of his soul.

This cube was the representation of his connection with the world's System, which Noah immediately realized due to how obvious it was.

This thing… he had not been able to see it before due to how well hidden it was, even for someone like him, the System was a divine construction of incredibly high complexity, and it was able to easily hide beneath his very nose this entire time.

Alongside that, he saw several crimson red circuits extending out of the cube as if slowly draining whatever energy this cube used.

These red circuits extended deep into the soul and then reached the outside of it, the Blood Core located within his chest!

However, now something was going wrong, God himself had realized that Noah was the culprit behind the corruption of Excalibur, and they were about to revoke the powers he had through the System!

Noah saw… God!

However, it was but an extension of the entity, an enormous hand made entirely out of bright white light, reaching his System Cube, as he called it, slowly yet steadily!

The hand ignored any defenses of his Soul and passed through all of it freely, showing how terrifying was God's power!

Did Noah even have a chance to resist?

If God took away his System Status, all of his Abilities might disappear, alongside his Stats, and he might become incredibly weak afterward!

Perhaps some of his abilities would remain, but without the swiftness of the System, he would still be greatly weakened!

And there was no saying that God wouldn't do the same for the rest of Noah's party afterward.

To survive and win, Noah had to fight and destroy the Lady of the Lake within Excalibur, and also take over Excalibur itself, which resulted to be the embodiment of God as a weapon to slay evil a terrible blasphemy that angered the often neutral and silent God to attack him!

Although God itself had not much power to descend and actually deal any substantial damage to him, as it could actually cause a lot of destruction around Noah, it had the power to revoke his System Status through its authority over the System as a System Administrator of sorts!

Noah couldn't possibly let this arrogant entity do as it pleased!

Even though… the sole thought of fighting God for his power level was utterly ridiculous, he had no choice!

He was not going to let this entity decide his fate nor it was going to let it stripe him from all the powers he had!

Noah furiously began to charge all of his Mana and energy into his very soul, as the white hand was just a few seconds from grasping the System Cute, Noah's soul suddenly reveled against God!

It extended vicious black and red tentacles over the white hand, as it tried to stop it!

The act of complete disobedience and arrogance that Noah showed the moment he tried to stop God only angered the many hive-minds even more!

"How dare that mortal stop us?!"

"Keep pushing, take away his powers!"

"DO IT!"

The many hive-minds roared in anger, as they desired to exert divine punishment over Noah's soul.

The white hand began to glow incredibly brightly, as Noah's tentacles started to be affected by its divine power, beginning to melt and dissipate!

Each time such tentacles dissipated and melted, Noah felt excruciating pain all over his soul!

Just when he had managed to win yesterday, he was already fighting for his life and to maintain the powers he had!

However, Noah was not alone!

"Bring me as much blood as you possibly can! The rest, connect your soul to me! And consume these crystals whenever you feel exhausted!" said Noah in the outside world, as he started to produce Blood Cores with small souls made of just mana, which had the property of healing the soul a bit!

"N-Noah, what is going on?!" asked Iris.

"Iris, trust me! I can't… explain it yet!" said Noah, his eyes glaring directly at Iris.

"Of course! Leave it to us!" said Iris, nodding as she quickly connected her soul to her beloved husband.

Many Blood Servants quickly jumped out of Noah's bloodstream and went to bring large quantities of stored blood from all the monsters they hunted, bringing gallons after gallons!

"This is… Noah is fighting someone through his soul? Just after we did all of that yesterday?!" asked Arthur.

"There's no time to ask questions, Arthur-sama!" said Timassa.

"I will gladly assist my lord," said Jon.

"Fight! Fight!" said Adamantine.

"I don't understand what is going on but please, take my power as well!" said Clementina.

"Us too!" said Sakura.

"Yeah!" said Sugar.

"Noah-sama, take our power as well, even if little," said Noire.

More and more robots began to appear as they connected their tiny artificial souls with Noah while beginning to absorb the large pile of Blood Cores he was constantly producing!

After that, blood finally came in large quantities, and Noah suddenly opened a large wound within his stomach, where a gigantic tentacle of blood emerged, sucking all the blood from the gallons one after another!

Noah was now receiving the power of his subordinates and wife, and quickly found himself strong enough to fight back… even if a little bit more!

He kept pouring his intent into his soul, as he saw the white hand approach once more after it moved back a bit when he attacked it previously!

Suddenly, more than just tentacles emerged, as large Soul Beasts, representing the souls of his subordinates emerged, which also carried their wills with them!

The hand of God felt utterly surprised by this strange turn of events!

What kind of human on Earth was able to have such strange soul-related powers, even more, when the power to manipulate and strengthen the Soul was so underdeveloped on Earth?

God was furious as the soul beasts began to ravage his white hand of pure bright light, as it slowly began to wave and move back, trying to slap these annoying soul beasts as if they were flies annoying it!

However, one of them, Iris's soul beast suddenly managed to bite into the arm!

And that was when God realized that they were no mere flies, but vicious mosquitoes!
