In the ship, Solanky quietly examined the grand elder very well and noticed that his stature alone was very different from that of other elites. The other elites had a lighter shade of red as their skin color, and the horns on each side of their head curved once. And it was only thirteen inches long from the shaft to the tip for each horn, and they only stood between seven to eight feet tall.
But the grand elder before Solanky had the skin color of Elisa, but was a bit darker than hers, and he had two horns on each side of his head. They were about sixteen inches long from the shaft to the tip, and the grand elder was much taller and bulkier than the other elites of the clan, as he stood at a staggering twelve feet tall, which made the others look short in contrast to him.
The grand elder walked out of the control room of the ship and asked Solanky to follow him, which he did. They entered the storage room of the ship. The room was much spacious than it looked and had several shelves with different books and scrolls placed neatly on them. Solanky was amazed because he knew that most of the elites had never seen these scrolls before.
The grand elder said to Solanky, "Do you want to know why you are different from the people of the Bayoka clan?" Solanky nodded, and the grand elder started to talk. He started to narrate why he purposefully chose him to accompany him, "You are an anomaly that has happened on this plane although you are weaker than any of our clansmen, I can't divinate anything about you since the first time you were born into our clan". Solanky was shocked but he still kept quiet and listened to what the grand elder said, "me not been able to read or divinate about you only means one thing… that you are someone much powerful than I am" Solanky laughed out loud and said "you witnessed what happened there at the clan if it wasn't for you those upper echelon elites would have crushed me like an ant and I wouldn't to be able to resist them at all".
The grand elder looked at him quietly and tossed out a manual to him and said, "Read it, for it might be useful to you and I think your true power has been suppressed by someone or something and that's why I brought you with me to visit the unknown place in the next star region". But the grand elder asked Solanky to follow to a lab which was opposite the room they entered Solanky carried the manuals and scrolls he needed in a storage pouch and followed the grand elder to the lab, the moment Solanky entered, all the bloodline of the gods and devils in their vacutainers all started bubbling although they were stored at freezing temperatures the entrance of Solanky was like they had been placed under extreme heat.
This event greatly shocked the grand elder as he knew he wasn't the cause, and the blood of powerful beings reacted to a higher bloodline even after the death of the being. The grand elder pulled out a syringe and asked if he could extract the blood of Solanky.
He nodded affirmatively, then the grand elder walked towards Solanky and extracted a sample of his blood. He then asked Solanky to watch the experiment with him. Before he could begin he explained somethings about the bloodlines he knew, "all beings are born with different bloodlines which are graded in three types, and the first grade is evolutionary bloodline which is further divine into three stages namely the high level mortal which makes them five times stronger than a regular mortal, the half god or half devil bloodline which makes them fifty times stronger than a high level mortal and the last stage of the first is elementary god or devil bloodline which makes them five hundred times stronger than a half god or devil."
Hearing this Solanky was enlightened as he now knew why different people of the same bloodline had different strengths, he couldn't help it as the thought of asking what the grand elder's bloodline grade and stage he belonged to but the grand elder saw this and said "I belong to the first grade bloodline and the stage of my bloodline is in the elementary god early stages."Solanky was taken aback as he heard this and said to himself no wonder the others in the clan venerate him.
The grand elder continued "the second grade unlike the first has four stages and is a qualitative leap over the first grade because the genetic makeup of the being is greatly improved and attains divinity, when one reaches this stage they are expected to ascend into the god realm as our plane of existence becomes too fragile for them to live in because the lowest of this bloodline grade has an enormous body size of tens of kilometers tall and wide." This made Solanky greatly shocked as he never imagined a living being could be that huge. The grand elder laughed, then Solanky caught up, knowing that was the lower end of the second-grade bloodline, also known as the divine bloodline.
The grand elder continued his explanation, "the first stage of the second-grade bloodline is called the high-level god or devil and they are five thousand times stronger than an elementary god and the moment one becomes a high level being they begin to absorb energies from the universe they find themselves in but this is inefficient because the power is less pure in our plane.
The second stage is called the god emperor stage. Beings of this level are fifty thousand times stronger than a high-level god or devil, and they have colossal bodies towering in the hundreds of kilometers. And the third stage of the second grade bloodline is called god of gods or devil of devils as this is the peak of godhood or devil hood with the power to instantly wipe out any being below this level with a single blow as they are five hundred thousand times stronger than god emperors and they need to shrink their actual bodies to an accepted size when coming to our plane of existence because their bodies towers in the hundreds of thousands of kilometers. And our founding ancestors recorded that the body size of the being plays an important role in strength, as the two stood at four hundred thousand kilometers tall. And the last stage of the second grade bloodline is the dimensional god or devil these beings can control the dimensional laws of our plane and are five million times stronger than the god of gods and legends have it that their massive bodies are so large that they can even shatter the space of the god realm and the entry level ones have their bodies towering between one to ten lightyears". Solanky was even more shocked after knowing this information, the grand elder brought a tube of blood of an ancient beast known as the dragon ape, which was captured by the founding ancestors.
The dragon ape had the bloodline of the second grade, second class, and the god emperor bloodline. The grand elder released a drop of Solanky's ash blood into the test tube containing the dragon ape blood. The moment the two made contact, Solanky's blood instantly eroded the blood of the dragon ape living it with nothing. The grand elder was instantly shocked to the core because the dragon ape was a divine bloodline beast. He remembered something he read from the manuals, he said in a shocked voice, "This… is the great bloodline taboo." Solanky, standing beside him, asked what it meant… the grand elder said in a shocked tone, "The stronger the bloodline, the stronger resistance, suppression, erosion, and absorption time it has on the other bloodlines".
The grand elder said in shock "I can't believe there was a being with the third-grade bloodline living right with us, no wonder your sister is that powerful it's because she is the closest one to you and you bore no hostility towards her and your breath nourishes her blood, that's why she's much stronger than her peers in the same generation." Solanky was more shocked, but he gained some clarity of why most of the powerful beasts refused to hurt him and draw his blood.
The grand elder looked hesitant before speaking but he spoke anyways saying "legend has it that the bloodline of third grade beings, were like precious treasures that helps boost the power of the lower bloodlines and in the hands of the wrong person it can become one of the most deadliest weapons to ever exist, this is because of the experiment we just did and the other was that it could forcefully control any being with a bloodline grade below it."
The grand elder looked towards the tube containing Solanky's drop of blood which expanded as a result of consuming the dragon ape's blood and said "your blood can absorb other bloods and make their power your own but remember you shouldn't tell anyone else about your bloodline as it can bring danger to you since your bloodline hasn't still awakened, and although it possess so many incredible abilities your body will still be weak until you fully reawaken and never use the control ability of the great bloodline taboo unless you are being forced to." Solankynodded, knowing he was still weak until he reawakens his bloodline.
