The atmosphere felt heavy with tension because of a quiet charged state just like an approaching storm. Ethan occupied the middle area of the deserted hallway while he scrutinized his environment with untamed efficiency. Everything felt strange to him while he dreamt this nightmarish vision which he had created. Blood soaked both his palms though it no longer belonged to the strange criminals or random victims. His blood soaked everything he touched after becoming the architect of the destruction in front of him.
{System Update: Blood Sovereign's Will Increases.}
The storm within him overshadowed everything else so the words from beyond felt nearly unimportant. The doorway in front blocked more than physical passage. This doorway presented a deep meaning beyond its physical form because it positioned as his last test before achieving his desired destination. Through the door rested the solutions together with the power and judgment which Ethan sought throughout his quest. The pathway in front of him stretched clearly to his view yet something blocked his view of the following step.
{System Alert: New Challenge Detected.}
Ethan's eyes narrowed as the system's voice echoed in his mind. A challenge? This situation appeared to be another test which required him to demonstrate his commitment to success. The system kept presenting these opportunities which steered him toward a restrictive path rather than genuine selection. He started detecting problems within its system which showed how it used control methods to receive reward benefits holding secret conditions. But it didn't matter. Nothing mattered but the door. Using the blood he had previously shed he would shatter the locked door to escape.
{Blood Sovereign Skill: Crimson Smite Unlocked.}
A movement went through Ethan's hand while his skill executed. As power rushed beneath his skin his body merged with the raw energy that passed through him. The magic exited his wrist as he gestured breaking through the door with powerful crimson energy. The iridescent magical energy caused the door's wooden frame to shatter while cracks spread from the wall throughout the building which shook its supporting structure.
The room fell into total quiet which could be heard by everyone. The building started to shake through the room as his power created waves of trembling air which damaged every corner. Despite his powerful attack the entrance refused to move because it demonstrated passive resistance to his recent magical display.
{Blood Sovereign's Path: Unyielding Will Detected.}
The system interrupted him once more but its tone displayed some form of recognition during this encounter. Unyielding. His entrance into this new domain removed all previous boundaries that the outside world imposed upon him. His efforts had started to reshape the door yet it still found some part of itself to resist against his control. The obstacle evolved into a demanding trial forcing him closer to obtaining his destined true power.
The door surrendered to his will power when it finally shattered open. Ethan moved across the debris as he walked through while keeping his mind steady on what lay in his path.
This enclosed space presented itself as the most peculiar place he had ever witnessed. The enclosed space fused together memory and nightmare while containing a promise of uncertain nature. Dark markings created weird symbols which had been engraved deeply into the stone structure of the walls. A dense oppressive atmosphere surrounded him as if the room was living and every space was infected with this oppressive energy.
Ethan studied the symbol patterns rapidly with his mind trying to unravel their purpose. The markings functioned as powerful seals which existed since ancient times to imprison or protect against some unknown entity. A feeling within him suggested that the concealed entity was connected to his current spiritual journey although he had not made up his mind exactly what this meant. The moment had arrived to remove the restraints which Strange had imposed on him.
{System Alert: Bloodline Awakening Detected.}
The alert proved unfamiliar to Ethan and so he paused for a few seconds as he read it. Bloodline Awakening? His origins through his blood passed down and nationality remained unknown to him. After seizing power while claiming dominance did he notice something significant he had neglected? The query tormented him throughout his mission even though he did not have time to investigate it. The world evolved while his fundamental being underwent a fundamental change. The opening door created an irreversible change where he must continue forward.
Ethan took a deep breath before he touched the icy stone of the closest symbol with his hand. He could detect the hidden energy beneath the surface which seemed alive with the power of the distant past. A sensation of suspension enveloped the entire world when his fingers touched the stone.
{System Prompt: Bloodline Activation Complete. Blood Sovereign's Awakening Begins.}
At that moment Ethan experienced a sudden boost of energy which surpassed his previous limits. Each drop of blood within his body began to wake up as if they had found their intensity from the depths of his being. The chamber floor whirled before his eyes while red opalescent symbols on the wall emitted strange radiant light that covered everything with a malevolent aura.
The experience brought forth genuine existence to Ethan's life.
{System Message: Blood Sovereign's Path – Final Stage Approaching.}
A warlike knowledge emerged in his body when it took in this powerful surge though he recognized the darkness of what these changes meant to himself. After both the seals broke and the bloodline resurrected how would the transformation transform him going forward?
The answer was simple.
More blood. More power. More destruction.
The present state of the world was marked for destruction by his actions.
At that moment Ethan moved ahead while his mind remained focused and his senses became more acute. This final doorway leading in front of him no longer represented an obstacle. It was an invitation.
An invitation to reshape everything.
