The Tower: "Whoever gives theirs first, I can trade Star Dragon King blood for it—one drop for three."
Lan Qingyou had offered "blood," not "essence blood."
But even so,
it was enough to pique everyone's interest.
After all, most people were currently using Young Jormungandr blood.
Vivian's Vampires were no exception.
That was why Lan Qingyou had previously asked Esmeralda which of the three Evolution Items held the dominant position.
Because that represented two different Star Beasts.
Well,
Young Jormungandr did not really count as a Star Beast.
Strictly speaking, it could at most be considered something like Jormungandr's "kin."
But even so, Young Jormungandr's "rank," or rather, its biological "level," was still higher than that of other magical creatures.
It could not be helped.
Who told those guys to worship Jormungandr, a being second only to the Star Dragon King?
Wait!
Both the Star Dragon King and Gross had left behind their bodies after becoming Star Beasts.
Then Jormungandr should have left behind a body as well.
Could it have ended up in the hands of these Young Jormungandrs?
Now that you mentioned it,
the more Lan Qingyou thought about it, the more possible it seemed.
After all, according to the Star Dragon King,
these Young Jormungandrs had originally merely been a group of ancient humans who had witnessed Jormungandr's "ascension."
It was only after they began worshipping it upon seeing that
that they became Young Jormungandrs.
So the question was,
how had such an obvious qualitative transformation of life, something akin to "evolution," occurred?
There had to have been some change involved.
Thus, the reasonable conclusion was that Jormungandr's body was very likely with those people.
And it was precisely because they had "properly utilized" Jormungandr's body
that they had transformed from humans into "Young Jormungandrs."
