"The Moon Goddess is one of the Primordial Gods of this world, she and the Sun God are two halves of the same coin." The Blood God explained. "I am the third God, it could be said. I was reborn in this world, originally a Fragment of the Soul of that guy you call "Frank", though I had no memories of being anybody other than myself. I climbed the ranks, slaughtered millions, and ascended my Blood Core and Soul into Divinity. And once that was done, it was easy to just seduce that lonely woman and convince her to go against the Sun God."

"Huh, you're a real piece of shit, aren't you?" I laughed.

"And you aren't? How cold-bloodedly you slaughtered those innocent vampires, minding their own business!" Said the Blood God.

"What? They tried to kill me!" I protested.

"Yeah but you can easily survive any of their attempts so were they even trying to kill you at that point?" The Blood God continued arguing pointlessly.

"Look, I don't give a fuck. If they had bad intentions, I won't have mercy." I answered plain and simple. "Anyways, so what happened with her? Why is she just Fragments now?"

"I have no idea." Said the Blood God. "It's not as if I had hurt her either. My aim was the Sun God. Once we defeated and sealed him and this world became one of Eternal Night, renamed as Abyss, I governed it as the Supreme King, while she became my obedient Queen."

"And then…?" I wondered.

"I was summoned… Called by an ally. Someone similar to me, fragments of another soul." He said. "I went ahead, foolishly thinking it would be a good opportunity to expand my horizons and begin the conquest of new worlds. However, going outside of my world was my demise. That brat, Frank… He slain me with his full powers and absorbed me back. Who I am now is mostly just a leftover piece of my original mind. And whatever divinity remains in the fragments of the portal."

"How sad." I shrugged. "So, anyways, what happened to her?"

"Can't you see why I was so confused?" The Blood God asked me. "It is because when I left Abyss, it wasn't like this! There weren't two new moons, a Crimson and an Emerald moon never existed before! And above all, she… The Moon Goddess was alive and fine. She was my obedient little wife, my own queen. Seeing her torn to shreds… It slightly makes me mad. She was mine… Who would dare to do such a thing to her?!"

"So in the window where you were gone, something happened here and she was slain and cut to pieces… Yikes." I sighed. "Oh well, we can do something about her now! Right? Come on baby, can you wake up?"

The Fragment of the Moon Goddess, resembling a silver-colored moonstone made of crystalized Primordial Divinity floated in midair in front of me, as I tried to wake her up by imbuing Cosmic Power into her. She was giving very faint glimpses of silver light, but there was little response.

"Moon! Are you there? Answer me!"

The Blood King flew towards her fragment on his blood bat form, screaming to her so she could wake up. However, the Moon Goddess remained still.

"It's me! Your husband! I've finally come back! I have… please, wake up."

Suddenly, he started to break down, as I saw a few tears flowing from his eyes.

"What happened to you!? Who did this to my queen?! Who… who would DARE to cut you into pieces?! To my precious woman? To my WIFE?!"

As he screamed in frustration, the fragment suddenly changed a bit, her aura of silver light growing larger, suddenly forming two little and delicate hands, embracing the bat.

"Dear… Is… is that you?"

"Ahh! Moon!"

They have quite the abusive relationship though, I don't know if I would approve of this. Moon deserves a better man. But it can't be denied he actually cares a bit about her. He's not completely coldblooded, even if he sees her as his property, he even shed tears for her, and feels genuinely sad that this happened to her.

"Why… Ugh… Why are you a bat…"

"I-I… I died…"

Moon remained in silence after the Blood God's words. But then she seemed to giggle a bit, even though she sounded very exhausted and in pain.

"Like me… We both… died… yet here we are… we've found one another…"

"Moon… Who did this to you?"

"I… can't remember…"

"You can't?!"

"Memories… hurt to remember… I- Ugh…"

"Moon! I-I… I will protect you, don't worry. Even as weak as I am, I will take care of you."

"Blood…"

"This is something I promised you when I took your hand. You trusted my words and helped me bring the utopia for my kind. I will not let you go now, my queen."

"Dear… do you still love me? Did you ever… loved me?"

"I… I always loved you. I'm sorry if I never showed you my true feelings. I could simply not act weak in front of my kind."

"Blood… It makes me so happy… I love you too… my king…"

"Moon… Even after death, we will be together forever, and ever."

"Yes… Forever and ever."

The two dead gods embraced one another with their divine essences. It made me feel SLIGHTLY sad, okay? I have feelings after all! I guess I could help him recover her pieces while I'm looking for my friends and family, yeah why not.

"Okay, enough corny talk. Moon Goddess, you should probably rest so we can use those memories of yours better." I said. "And as of the Blood God, take care of her, I guess."

"Thank you… stranger." The Moon Goddess' gentle voice reverberated inside of my mind, as her fragment flew inside of my body, resting within my chest.

I looked at the Blood God's expression, who was continuously growing more embarrassed.

"What?! What are you looking at?"

"Nothing~"

As I giggled, I quickly caught up with Lucifer and Aquamarine, the "Kings" and any other Vampiric Beast were slain.
