Chapter 434: New Addition To The Human Race

[Congratulations... Humanity has birthed a new bloodline...]

[Congratulations... Humanity welcomes the birth of a new progenitor...]

[The race "Bloodborn" has been dissolved...]

[Congratulations... Humanity has gained a new binding trait... Vitality.]

The entire world could see the flow of notifications; this time the broadcast wasn’t exclusive to those of great providence.

But it was laid bare to all the earthlings far and wide...

And the news took the world by storm...

"THAT COWARD BASTARD!" Neptune hissed, his fist slamming down upon the arm of his coral throne.

Causing the entire underwater palace to rumble and rattle.

His face twisted, his teeth grinding, as he wished he could find the leader of the bloodborn race and rip his head right out of his skull!

...

Across over to the east, upon a flying island, sat the Jade Palace...

"Arrrrgh! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT FOOL VLAD THINKING?!!" the Jade Emperor’s voice reverberated through the entire space.

Within his palace, he could be seen standing in the logistics room.

Leaning upon the grand immortal conference table, his fingers dug into its invulnerable material, cracks running through the entire table.

His jaw clenched, a vein pulsing at his temple. Just now the immortal jade plaque of his third son, Tian Cheng, who was participating in the trial of greed, had shattered.

Signaling his demise; not even moments later, this notification came in, like adding salt to the wound.

Clearly, the bloodborn had used the opportunity to defect to the winning side of this war.

"I’ll make you all pay! Humans, bloodborn, all shall die!" The Jade Emperor screamed in hysterical anger.

The fury from these two sides was valid; of the four strangest races among the ancient ones, the Avians had been destroyed, and now the bloodborn had defected.

And now their already waning advantage continued to plummet; the flimsy human race they had assumed would be a piece of cake to crush was dominating this war in ways no one expected.

Aside from the start of this war, the ancient races had been on a losing streak and had continuously failed to even push the human race to its limit.

Their jaws tightened: why was the human race so favoured?

Why did they keep pulling impossible feats from their ass?

Suddenly, a whole demographic of non-humans felt life was unfair, and that their very own mother planet didn’t seem to be on their side.

...

Over at the humans’ side...

The main protagonists of the situation were themselves shocked by the string of notifications.

Even the monarchs were surprised, no one expected such a thing to happen...

Hell no one even knew it was possible until today!

And it was very clear to the monarchs that the cunning old bastard of the bloodborn had decided to ride humanity’s coattails.

And now, whether they liked it or not, those high-and-mighty, bloodsucking scumbags were part of the human race.

Even after reading the notifications over and over again, the monarchs still found it difficult to believe that a race so proud and disdainful of humans would surrender to them so easily.

Over in the west, President Cain sat in the now stark-silent situation room, in shock.

Even a progenitor-level figure was dumbfounded.

Till today he had been pretty confident in his assessment that the bloodborn race saw humans as nothing but walking sacks of food.

And now he was supposed to believe that these guys willingly joined the human race?

As the side in an active clash with the bloodborn, Cain could confidently say that he hadn’t applied any pressure upon those guys; he hadn’t targeted them specifically, and though he had been thinking of it, he had yet to set any plan in motion.

So to him, this came practically out of nowhere; worse, humanity would have to welcome the dawn of a new progenitor.

He frowned deeply, a verdant glow flickering faintly in the depths of his dark brown pupils as his fists clenched tight.

This wasn’t a variable he or any of the other progenitors had accounted for...

He went quiet for a moment, a thousand thoughts fleeting through his mind at that very instant, while the rest of the officials before him remained silent.

They themselves were lost in thought, trying to wrap their minds around how a race could convert into another...

The president’s gaze hardened. ’First, I will have to locate Dracula; I can’t let whatever he used to complete such a feat fall into the hands of the others.

If it did, by any chance, the conclusion of this war wouldn’t be so simple anymore, and the victory the humans were tasting would fall out of their grasp.’

Cain’s jaw tightened at the thought of what could happen if such means fell into the hands of the others.

Those guys would definitely assimilate the providence of other, smaller races, bloating their fortune and bolstering their armies.

Not only that, just like what happened with the humans, those guys would definitely gain the traits of the races whose providence they assimilated.

And if that happened...

Goosebumps rose on the president’s arms at the thought; they had fought so hard for the advantage they had now, and there was no way in hell he was going to allow that to happen.

"This meeting will be adjourned!" the president slammed his hands on the table as he rose, announcing it to the other officials in the room.

With that, he vanished into thin air, leaving a trail of bright verdant glow flickering in his wake.

Startling all of those in the room; sometimes, because no one had ever seen the president fight, it was pretty easy to forget that the man was an evolver.

But time and time again they were reminded that this was so, especially in situations like now.

Meanwhile, not that far away, at a certain medical facility, within an empty patient room, a figure appeared with a burst of green light.

Seth appeared right where he had been taken from, and didn’t waste time summoning the Will Forge Elixir.

"Let’s see what you can do..."

He was just about to head to the patient’s bed and consume it when a flash from the notification bar caught his attention. Focusing on it, he watched the details unravel.

"..."

The more Seth read, the more dumbfounded he became; he didn’t even know whether this was good news or bad...
