Hundreds of races were interested in the Swirl of Chaos ability crystal, but the number of races that were actually able to participate seriously in the Auction for the ability crystal was minuscule.
The Divon races which some races also called as Devons were very interested in the ability crystals, and so were around a dozen races that had built a strong foundation within Alliance City.
They possessed enough contribution points to attempt making bids for the Swirl of Chaos so that their strongest descendants would receive the opportunity to see if they were compatible with the Swirl of Chaos.
No Original at or above the Deux rank was in need of an ability crystal. Thus, the only thing most races could do was to make big investments for their children in the hopes that the Swirl of Chaos would be compatible with the physique of the other races.
