Several hours after returning to his island, Jake was still shaken. There was a supreme creature in this vast Mirror Universe with his last name! Such a coincidence? It was just insane to even think about it.
In the end, the bloodline transfer proceeded without a hitch, but only after a plot twist with not-so-small consequences.
Jake had taken the opportunity to mention the survivors from Lucia and Gerulf's world that his faction had recruited, and as expected the alien showed great interest in their unique bloodlines.
It was not out of loyalty to his master that he had sacrificed his subordinates to the old Aetherist, but because Tim's future was at stake. The child had chosen to assimilate his Myrtharian Bloodline to supplement his overly impure Beskyrian Bloodline.
Tim had tried to obtain purer blood samples, but soon after his First Ordeal, the price in the Oracle Store skyrocketed, as if it was out of stock. Subsequent Ordeal rewards had not been to his satisfaction either.
