Chapter 43 The Last of Me (7)

Yet, the mystical shell that appeared, was enough to draw their attention. The eyes of the Third Prince lit up, as his pupils began to glow red, "What sort of bloodline is that? Even through the distance of space, I can feel its antiquity. I have never seen the sort. Rowan has Kuranes blood, no matter how thin it was, yet this new bloodline stripped away every last strand of it. Can you even begin to understand how difficult that is supposed to be? That old hag made sure to imprint herself in every drop of our blood."

The hooded figure choked and coughed, looking around in fear, but he soon settled and answered with an aggravated tone, "I have no idea, but the Singularity is supposed to draw a bloodline intrinsically linked to its host. Do you by chance have Dragon blood in the Kuranes line?"

"How do you expect me to know, some of my ancestors bred like rabbits and were famous for never keeping their third sword encased or their deep caves dry.We could as well have a bloodline connections to even insects."

"Well, that solves our conjectures, doesn't it? The Singularity can access bloodlines from outside the sphere of the gods. Every single user had a new bloodline or an upgrade of their existing bloodline. I have a theory that every single powerful bloodline that exists outside the seven could be traced back to it. But that's not the best part. Keep watching."

They watched the egg shrink and also Rowan discovering the yellow rock, he touched it and vanished for a while before he returned.

The Eyes of the Third Prince flared red as it began to combust, flames poured down his eyes like tears, and he clenched his hands tight. If he could cross that barrier… The boy had proven his usefulness, they now had a key to that place, and that was all that mattered.

"This result is astonishing, if the Singularity is the reason he could enter that place, we have reaped the most benefits. Let's kill him and strip that bloodline from his body, with that key, none of these projects matter." The Third prince said in excitement.

"I recommend caution, do not lose our end goals for a benefit not yet verified. For the moment, there is no proof that he might have reached that place. He may have reached the passage, but could not see the doors. So until we are sure of the true extent of his advance, I will call for temperance in our actions for the moment."

"You are right. Forgive my out burst."

"It's normal old friend. My reaction when I first saw that was worse than yours. I nearly pulled him from the Nexus. Let's continue watching… There are more surprises ahead."

The Third Prince settled and continued viewing the events with a more cool gaze. As he saw Rowans increasing feats of strength, his frown went deeper.

"Without consuming the bodies of Abominations, it's not logical how he is getting stronger, I am no longer at ease with this experiment, I am cutting it down to the last two percent of its proposed duration. We would use other subjects for more in-depth interpretation of the Singularity." The Third prince's eyes slowly turned green, before blazing to blue, his gaze grew deeper, as if he wished to tear Rowan piece by piece and uncover every secret he was carrying."

"My best guess is that it's a spillover from the bloodline he accessed." The hooded figure said, "he might be digesting the benefits it brought, and what supports this hypothesis is the presence of this unique wrapping on his body, he is literally walking with his shell! It must be a Dragon bloodline, but one that is mighty and focuses on body strengthening."

"Huh, so he turns out to be a brute. How disappointing, with his quick mind and clever disposition, I expected him to pick a more energy focused bloodline."

"Well it doesn't really matter anyway, his lifespan was spent when he was being merged with the singularity, and it would, he would need to get to the Incarnation State to elevate his soul, and that would take centuries."
