On the second floor of the Sleeping House, Baja crouched on the experimental bench while Su Xiao prepared something beside him.
Gulu~
A pale-red solution churned inside the test tube. Su Xiao permeated it with Mana, then sensed it carefully and confirmed that Source Blood contained basically no cells from an Ancient God. Instead, it was a purified bloodline-type item—or rather, it resembled a Class Template even more.

"Roar!"
Baja spread its wings, and a gigantic bird-shaped phantom appeared behind it.
A moment later, Baja was finally lying "flat" on the experimental bench,
