Ten Bloodlines

Josephine's expression remained indifferent as the headless body of the Wendigo fell to the ground with a sickening thud.

'Fuck... I need to get out of here. With the memories I've gained, the Beastify race is currently hostile towards all other races for abandoning them in this war. If she sees me, I'll be the next headless Wendigo.'

Before he could even move, Josephine's ears twitched. Slowly, she turned her head, her piercing green gaze fixing on the treetop where Sunny was hidden.

'FUCK!!! SYSTEM!!! A WAY TO SURVIVE!!!' he screamed inwardly.

Swoosh!

Sunny stared at the Bloodline Alter card that materialized before him, a slight frown creasing his brow. 'What is this?' he asked, taking the card.

{Bloodline Alter: A Grand Class artifact which can change the user's race and bloodlines... Note: It is irreversible.}

'That means I won't be human if I use this! What race can I turn into?'

{Any Race... Including a Wendigo.}

'Becoming a Wendigo at this moment is a straight dead sentence... Only a fool would choose it... To survive, I will have to take this step.' He sighed.

'The Beastify race hates Humans the most. She will likely kill me at first glance; most of all, this is her territory! System... Do you hate me so much by teleporting me to another dead end!'

{".....?!"}

He took a deep breath and made a decision that changed his life forever: 'Use the card.'

{Choose race.}

{Elves. Beastify. Wendigos. Xenons. Ogres. Three-eyes. Phoenix. Dragons. Dwarfs.}

'Wow... With Humans, that makes ten races. I won't say I'm in a new world, I'll say... I'm in a new galaxy... I pick Beastify,' he quickly said.

Josephine tilted her head to the side and sniffed the air. Instantly, her expression turned cold.

'A human?'

{Choose Bloodline.}

'Fuck you, system!! Just pick the strongest!!!' he spat out inwardly.

{Ok Master...}

{Discovered Ten strongest bloodlines.}

'Ten?!!!' Sunny was flabbergasted.

{Merging all into Master.}

'What the fuck!!'

Sunny froze as a jolt of unbearable pain shot into his head.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

He let out a painful scream, which took Josephine by surprise.

BAM! She frowned, hearing the distinct sound of an object hitting the ground.

{First Bloodline merged successfully.}

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

He let out a second scream, which reverberated all over the forest.

{Second Bloodline merged successfully.}

Sunny's hair instantly fell off, completely gone, leaving him bald.

{Third Bloodline Merged successfully.}

"AHHHH!!!!"

This time his voice was a loud, animalistic growl.

Sunny watched with a painful expression as his nails elongated into long claws. His canines grew, and his pupils changed, resembling those of a serpent.

'What the fuck... Why is the pressure suddenly increasing?!' Josephine thought, taking a step backward, a flicker of unease in her eyes.

{Fourth Bloodline Merged successfully.}

"AHHHHHHHH!!"

Sunny let out another painful scream, as his claws retracted, his eyes turned bloodred, and his fangs receded. Red hair sprouted rapidly on his head.

{Fifth Bloodline Merged successfully.}

This time, he felt nothing, as a steel-like tail grew from his lower back. Black hair grew on his head, intertwining with the red.

{Sixth Bloodline Merged successfully.}

His ears disappeared, and two vibrant red wolf ears grew on his head.

{Seventh Bloodline Merged successfully.}

His muscles visibly bulged, his previously weak physique undergoing a drastic and rapid transformation. His T-shirt tore off, leaving him shirtless.

BAM!

Josephine dropped to her knees, her face paled from the immense pressure descending on the entire forest. All creatures, both large and small, strong and weak, fled in terror. Those caught in the area were forced to the ground, as if a mountain weighed down on them.

'Such strength! A human can't possess such a powerful aura,' she thought with gritted teeth, struggling against the oppressive force.

{Eighth Bloodline Merged Successfully.}

Sunny smirked, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth. He grew in height, now standing a full six feet tall. His skin turned an otherworldly ivory, and intricate tattoos appeared all over his body.

{Ninth Bloodline Merged successfully.}

His forehead split open, and a third eye, glowing with an ominous light, appeared there.

CRACK!!

Josephine's eyes widened in horror as the armor on her body cracked from the sheer amount of pressure emanating from Sunny.

BOOM!

The Wendigo's body behind her shattered into paste and blood, splashing all over the place.

{Tenth Bloodline Merged successfully!!!!!!}

BOOOOM!!

A colossal purple lightning bolt shot down from the sky, annihilating all the trees in its wake and smashing heavily onto Sunny.

BOOOOM!!

The resulting soundwaves and sonic waves slammed into Josephine, throwing her several meters away.

BAM!!

She smashed heavily onto the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood. She looked towards the center of the explosion, seeing a single figure slowly rising to his feet amidst the dust and devastation.

'This?' That was all she could manage to mutter before her vision blurred, and she went limp, falling unconscious.

Sunny looked at his new, transformed body, and his smirk widened into a triumphant grin.

The Lion (system) appeared beside him, now glowing a magnificent golden hue.

{Master has successfully changed bloodline, and became the strongest Beastify race in the whole galaxy...}

{All Ten bloodlines have been successfully merged.}

{Master gained a skill from his first bloodline.}

{Devourer... Grand Class skill.}

"Only one skill, and a Grand Class one at that? What about my other bloodlines?" he asked, a mix of surprise and confusion in his voice.

{Master isn't strong enough to activate all Bloodlines... So the system automatically locked them. Bloodlines will automatically unlock when Master gets stronger.}

Sunny slowly nodded. "Show me my profile."

{Ok Master.}

{Name: Sunny Draco.}

{Race: Legendary Beastify race.}

{Bloodlines: 1st: Fenrir (God Wolf). 2nd: Jormungandr (God Snake) LOCK. 3rd: Carcharoth (Red Maw Wolf) LOCK. 4th: Basilisk (Demon snake) LOCK. 5th: Leviathan (Sea Snake) LOCK. 6th: Wukong (Great Demon Monkey) LOCK. 7th: Behemoth (God of strength) LOCK. 8th: Krakan (Sea Octopus) LOCK. 9th: Apophis: (Great Calamity Snake) LOCK.

{Skills: Devourer (Grand class. Active.).}

{Bloodline Skill: Fenrir transformation.}

'Wait... You said all my bloodlines are locked, so all these boosts are...'

{Yes Master, from your first Bloodline.}

Sunny chuckled at the irony of the situation. He had been seeking strength, and instead, he had gained the ultimate strength, albeit mostly locked away.

'Just the first Bloodline? What if I unlock all ten? Won't that make me a god?'

{Current transformation will be neutralized... Host must unlock the ten bloodlines to unlock the transformation.}

Sunny frowned. He watched as his long, colorful hair, which had touched the ground, slowly disappeared, leaving him with inky black hair. His third eye receded back into his forehead, and his forehead closed shut. His Magic Resistance reduced by 2,000.

Sunny lowered his gaze to his body as the intricate tattoos all disappeared, leaving him with smooth skin. His colorful eyes shifted into a single, bright crimson hue.

"How can I unlock my bloodlines?" he asked.

{Master must increase his rank, either by killing, or completing Quests.}

{Current Quest: Spend 1 Billion galaxy crystal in 30 hours...}

{Remaining timer: 25 hours.}

Sunny nodded, then froze the moment after. His new wolf ears were currently picking up the faint, rhythmic sound of a heartbeat. Then, realization struck him.

"Josephine!"
