Ding, Ding, Ding.
After killing Zether Ethan got a few notifications from the system but before he could read them, Austin woke up his bodyguards who became unconscious because of killing intent which able to travel past the barrier of the Forbidden Zone and he believed it was from a Peak Tier Overlord Beast.
"Well, collect these beast's bodies and extract cores from them, we are going back after that". His bodyguard started doing work and Austin gave a deadly glance toward the place from where killing intent came from and after that, he turned toward Ethan.
"Well, are you all right son"? Asked Austin with care in his voice.
"Yes, Father I am perfectly fine," said Ethan with a smile.
"Well, you have great mental fortitude and you are even able to remain calm and conscious after enduring such a great killing intent which even made our bodyguards unconscious and you even without caring about anything able to kill your target. That's great, well it is at least expected from you, after all you have taken after me, hehe". Said Austin with arrogance in his voice.
Ethan's face twitched after hearing his Father again giving credit to himself for Ethan's deeds. Well he doesn't even want to argue with his father on this matter. Meanwhile, their bodyguards doing work, so Ethan was free and he Focused on notifications of system.
[Congratulations on your first kill, You got new skills called Blood manipulation and Blood Absorption.]
[Blood manipulation Skill: You can control yours and other Spilled blood and you can shape it according to your will and solidify it to create any type of weapon.]
[ Blood Absorption Skill: You Can absorb blood from others and restore your health]
[Congratulations you made a great achievement by killing a powerful enemy and by crossing several Ranks, even though you got some outside help even then this is considered a great achievement, after considering all factors you are given a title]
[Title- Dwarf against Giant- Whenever there is a huge difference in Rank between you and your enemy, this title will activate and give you a huge power boost. The more the Gap between your ranks, the more great Power boost you will get depending on your overall strength. Depending on the boost you will be able to become 2 or even 3 times powerful than your existing power rank temporarily for few minutes. If your body not able to hold the pressure of your surging strength than considering your safety, effects of this tittle can be turned off early. ]
Ethan's eyes sparkled after seeing his new skills and first title but he suddenly became worried because the voice he heard from the system did not feel like Gen's voice.
"Hey, Gen are you there"? Said Ethan
[Yes, Master I am always here for you what happened?]
Ethan feels relieved after hearing Gen's voice, "Well, Gen why does the previous voice of the system's notification doesn't sound like yours"?
[Well, master I am just an AI of the system, so I am more like its administrator rather than its owner, and its owner is you, Even though I can help you manage it, I can't control it. So it can do somethings own its own and even can give you Quests in certain scenarios. It give you things depending on its previous coded programming, provide you with skills and other things, but worry not as I am now part of your soul as you become more Powerfull I will also become more independent and able to control it according to your needs and able to modify your existing skills and create more skills depending own your needs and desires which will be related to your Divine abilities.]
"OOO, it's great Gen, thanks for your help in advance then". Said Ethan with a smile.
[Well, master I also have a new great surprise for you.]
"Oo, what surprise Gen"? Asked Ethan with curiosity.
[Well, master you have unlocked your Last Divine ability related to your Blood God store, I have stopped its notification so that I can give you this news myself.]
"Great, show me then Gen." Said Ethan with great excitement.
[Congratulations, you have killed a Rank 9 being acquired 9000 blood points.]
[Congratulations, you have acquired blood points, so the requirement for unlocking Blood God's store has been fulfilled]
[Congratulations Blood God's store has been unlocked, it's found that the being you have killed has a great Bloodline in him, so it's absorbing that bloodline and using it to enhance some items. Bloodlines quantity and quality are both low so it's only able to use it for enhancing few items. You are recommended to kill more beings with these types of bloodlines to enhance and create more items. Only Bloodlines of Demigods and above suit Blood God's store taste, so it only absorbs them and shows new effects]
First Ethan's eyes sparkled after hearing that he had unlocked his last divine ability and earned Blood points and he became more excited to know that his Blood Store even Absorb other's Bloodline to create new things and strengthen existing items but his face twitched after reading it's the full description and knowing that it only absorbs Demi-gods Rank or above beings bloodlines because it's suits his taste?
"What the fuck Gen, I am seeing right it only absorbs Demi-gods and above beings' bloodlines because it suits its taste".
[Blood God's store has said that it has its own priorities, only Bloodlines of Demigods and above beings can be utilised to create new items and strengthen exsisting items because it has divinity or Demonic energy in them]
"What the fuck Gen, did Blood Store just reply to me"? Ethan was shocked after hearing Blood Store's direct response.
[Well Master Your divine abilities are unique. It has its own separate Consciousness. It's because they came from your previous universe. Didn't you have listened to many stories in your past life or Even has seen as Asur Raktabija, how every part of Supreme God has its separate consciousness? Every cell in their body is alive, even their hair and nails have Consciousness. There were even stories of how wax which came out from Supreme God Lord Vishnu ear gave birth to two Asura's. Well, there are many of these stories and it is believed on that earth that all humans are part of God, and when they get enlightenment they go back into God's body, released from cycle of birth and death and again become part of God. Well, so the conclusion is that if even God's body cells have Consciousness, so why a divine ability bestowed by Supreme God Lord Shiva itself could not have any consciousness?]
"Well, I get your point but what about My Blood seed divine ability and Omni Eyes divine ability? They both are activated from the start but they didn't try to communicate with me and showed any anomaly"?.
[Well, you may not know but every blood cell in your body is alive and is in a semi-conscious state, they are half sleep half awake. To fully become active and conscious, they need a medium and that medium is other beings that will turn into your blood clones or also can be said your Blood Slaves. When your blood cells take over other beings, then they will become fully conscious and able to communicate with you through those beings.
As for your Omni eyes, as you know they don't even have 1 percent of Lord Shiva's original Third Eyes power, it has not produced any spirit or Consciousness that can communicate with you or express itself in any way. If you are able to make it reach even 1 percent of its original power then it will also form consciousness and able to express itself and communicate with you.]
Ethan nodded in understanding, "Well, it's nearly impossible to strengthen Omni's eyes further because I don't even know it's how to do or even if it's possible or not. Omni eyes are replicas of Lord Shiva's Third eyes which are even capable of erasing the universe from its existence and my blood seed ability Don't hold a candle to it. So let's stop that unnecessary talk and see what things I can get from Blood Store".
Before he could open it Austin picked up Ethan in his arms and spoke, "Well, our work is done here, so let's go back.
After that, they came back home. Just when they entered the Mansion, they watched James who came running towards them and before they could ask him anything, Ember came in front of them In a blink of an eye, and from looks, she did not look in a good mood.
"Dear, are you alright. Why have you gone to the Emperor's palace, did you know how much I was worried about you". While saying that Austin tried to Hug Ember but then suddenly he found himself flying in the air and he was thrown toward the wall with Ember's punch on his face and he lost consciousness.
Ethan wasn't even surprised because he had become habitual of seeing this incident every few days.
After dealing with Austin, Ember turns toward Ethan and Ethan gets a bad feeling about this. Ember picked Ethan and scanned his body and spoke after a few seconds.
"Are you all right, why did you go to such a dangerous place with your father". Asked Ember with a slight mix of Anger and worry in her voice.
"Well, I didn't even know where we were going mother, Father just told me that he would take me to a fun place, if I had known that he would take me to hunt I would definitely have rejected him and asked your permission first if I even go to such a dangerous place". Replied Ethan with innocence in his voice, while didn't even feeling a Slight bit of guilty about selling and framing his father.
"Hmm, I should have known that leaving you alone with this moron is not a good thing. Well let him awake I will teach him such a lesson he will not even forget in his dreams, and from now on ask my permission first if he asks you to do something or go somewhere".
"Yes, my dear mother". Said Ethan while hugging her and feeling a little pity for his father.
"Well good then, so you must be tired,for now take a rest and in the morning I will give you a big surprise". Said Ember while taking Ethan toward his room.
Ethan smiled and didn't say anything because he had already guessed what surprise his mother would give him in the morning.
After his mother, left the room Ethan opened the Blood Store to find what things were present there. After opening it he found a list of items and inspected some of them.
