Hearing what Lena said, I don't know whether to be relieved or anxious at the possibility that if I hatched this egg in the future, someone dangerous might come to knock on my door but there is no point thinking about it now.
"Is there any possibility other than those?"
"And how long will take for the signal to reach them?"
[Depending on the distance Master]
"Then, how did this egg end here?"
[I don't know, Master]
Even Will was surprised when he saw the egg because he didn't have any idea that such a thing sneaked into the Universe without him noticing.
So, if Will didn't know, how would Lena know?
I just shook my head and ignored the egg for now. When the time comes, I will see what will happen then.
"Lena, show me the stats of the vial."
[Okay]
Then a new screen appeared in front of me but instead of the usual crimson or crimson gold color. This screen was pitch black. It seems darker than the abyss.
As I read the words written on the screen. I understood the reason the vial is sealed for, and the screen's color being pitch black.
I shook my head while muttering under my breath.
"How troublesome"
[ Name: Malefactum Blood Vial
State: Sealed
Description: The Malefactum Blood Vial is a small glass container sealed with ancient demonic sigils and powerful enchantments. It contains the blood of one of the most feared and powerful demonic lineages in the Universe- the Malefactum bloodline.
The Malefactum Blood Vial is not to be taken lightly, for it holds the potential to corrupt even the purest of souls and grant immense power to those who possess it. Its sealed state serves as a warning to those who would dare to open it, as it is meant to contain the malevolent power within.]
Looking at the vial in my hands, I couldn't help but focus on its shape. Earlier I didn't pay much attention except for the small amount of demonic energy coming out from the vial.
The vial is small and unassuming, yet it holds immense power within as the description says. The glass is dark and almost opaque, with only a faint red glow emanating from the blood contained within. The surface of the vial is etched with intricate runes and symbols that seem to pulsate with a malevolent energy. The vial in my hands kept emitting negative and demonic energy.
After holding it for a while, I didn't feel anything from the aura coming from the vial like the system said so I was somehow puzzled.
"Lena, why don't I feel anything from the vial?"
[Due to the system protection, Master]
"I see"
After a moment of silence, I decided to ask the important question.
"And what should I do with this? It is not like I can use the blood?"
"Well, I could drink it but that is simply a waste."
[You can use it, Master]
"Hmm?"
"What are you saying?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
[The system can help you change your race from a vampire to a demon]
This is one of the choices that Will made available to Max. he gave him a choice and let him make his own mind and choices. Although he wants Max to be like him and Ava, that doesn't mean he will force him to do so.
Hearing Lena's words, I was shocked.
How cannot be shocked?
Changing races isn't as easy as it seems. The only race that has this privilege is the Human race.
Humans can change into vampires or demons. There are other possibilities if they used the blood of other races although that won't make them pure-blooded, they are still able to change race.
The other races don't have such a luxury. Maybe in the past when there were still progenitors around and kicking.
The Progenitors alone have the power to make changes to any race but their descendants don't have this ability. Still, even the progenitors don't the ability to completely erase the other party's past race's genetics when they change races.
As for turning someone into another race, you will have to change his body, bloodline, and finally his soul. Changing the soul would result in changing the astral body of the person.
In this Universe, the astral body is the foundation that a person uses to cultivate. So anything that might affect the astral body like making changes in the soul would immediately affect the said person whether the change would be for the better or for the worse.
"Won't that affect me negatively if I changed race?"
[No, the system will help you turn into a pure-blood demon with the bloodline sealed in the vial]
"Then what about any traces of my vampire heritage?"
[They will all be completely erased]
Although it doesn't sound bad and I don't really care about my father's bloodline. I still care about my mother's bloodline in me. And something in my is warning me about this.
It is like it is telling me that if I changed race, I would lose something important.
"Is there are other uses for the vial?"
I decided to see all the available options before making any choices.
[Master, you can give the vial to a human to transform into a demon]
"Only mention the things that are useful to me," I said while shaking my head.
What a joke!
How can I go and give the thing that I worked hard for to someone else?
It is better to find something that can be useful for me.
[How about trying to hatch the egg with this bloodline?] Lena suggested.
"That would be a waste and didn't you say that the conditions to hatch the egg are still not decided?"
[It is just a test]
"I won't waste something precious like this on an egg."
Although I have never heard about this bloodline or even read anything about them. If it is sealed like this with an impressive guardian. It doesn't take a genius to guess that this bloodline is very powerful and important.
[Then what do you want to do, Master?]
Hmm…
I started to think seriously for a while.
After a while, I remembered a certain someone who used to wave his great sword around while shouting something.
There were always cool background music and transformations but that isn't what is important for now.
He is said to have three different powers in his soul and two different bloodlines.
What are they called?
People who are born between two different races.
Yes!
A Nephilim.
Couldn't the system combine my vampiric bloodline with this demonic bloodline?
Lena said that the system is awesome, so it should be fine.
Well, it is better to ask.
"Lena, can the system do this?"
[Do what. Master?]
Since I got excited, I forgot to share my thoughts with Lena.
"I mean merging my bloodline and becoming a Nephilim,"
[Yes, Master. The system can help you]
Hearing this answer, I became a little bit excited and was going to inquire more but Lena stopped me in my tracks when she continued speaking.
[But there are a few disadvantages if you want to be a Nephilim]
"What are they?"
[You will be rejected by the Universe]
