"Is that so?" Eva stated.
She didn't show any emotion, but a hint of shock was still present in her eyes as she looked at Alina, accepting the jade scroll and the Calamity Star Sword.
"What do you mean, 'is that so?' Don't you understand what it means? I can see that this girl and you didn't see eye to eye, and her bloodline is even a mystery to me. I know you also sensed that earlier; only because of the incomplete Void Abyssal Devil Bloodline were you able to match her equally, and that's because she still hadn't learned to control her power yet!
"From your talk with each other, it appears this girl wasn't born with this bloodline. Just who is that husband of yours, and how many secrets is he hiding? I'm starting to wonder if that boy is an incarnation of a God or Son of Heaven!" Flaggy said, its voice filled with disbelief and uncertainty.
After all, Flaggy had been with Eva long enough now, and the things that Flaggy had seen up until now could be described as unreal. This forced Flaggy to change its view of Ace entirely. If Flaggy thought Ace was just a random boy who got lucky by winning Eva's love, now, however, Flaggy knows it was completely opposite.Furthermore, now seeing Alina coming out of that strange cist and Ace casually giving her the Calamity Star Sword like it was nothing, Flaggy didn't know what to think about this bunch of monsters anymore.
But still, Eva was Flaggy's master, so it had to look after her. Seeing that Alina and Eva's relationship wasn't amiable so it warned Eva about what kind of enemy she was making.
"Don't poke your nose where it does not belong. The matter between my husband and his women are between us; you have no right to interfere with our decisions or matters related to us. You are my advisor and protector, and since I've received your advice, it's on me whether to take it or leave it." Eva coldly retorted without even hesitation.
She knew Flaggy was becoming overly curious after witnessing Ace's means, and she wasn't someone who would expose Ace's secrets to anyone. But hiding his secrets was easier said than done because Flaggy was her soul treasure, which had integrated into her soul even more perfectly after she created a law body. So, it was part of her, and it could see everything she witnessed.
Nonetheless, she still didn't trust Flaggy enough to reveal Ace's secrets, and even if she did, she wouldn't do it before discussing it with the man himself.
"Tsk, do as you wish, like I care!" Flaggy scoffed, clearly very displeased about being treated like that.
At this moment, Alina touched the jade scroll, and suddenly, the vertical diamond-shaped golden-silver gem on her glabella shone, and the markings on her skin materialized.The next moment, the jade scroll seemed to react to this. It turned into a golden silver streak and directly shot into the gem on Alina's forehead!
It happened so fast that no one was able to react to it, and even Alina was shocked when this abrupt event took place. However, something even more absurd happened next.
The markings on her skin started to glow even brighter, and the Calamity Star Sword in her head suddenly trembled and released a powerful, hummed, and sharp aura.
A runic ethereal circle appeared under Alina's feet, and at this moment, an imposing yet melodious voice rang in Alina's head, "O' bearer of the Celestial Titan Bloodline, according to my contract with your ancestor, I shall now form the Life Bond [Master for One-Life] with you. If you agree, then drip your blood on my blade to complete the ritual!"
"What is happening? Are you alright?" Ace's solemn voice rang at this moment. He was worried about Alina just standing there in a daze, and that runic circle that suddenly appeared felt somewhat familiar to him, so he didn't make a rash move.
Alina finally snapped out of her daze and said, in confusion, "Didn't you hear this voice?"
Unlike Eva's lineage, Alina didn't seem to have inherited any memories, for her bloodline was quite different. However, for this exact reason, the Jade Scroll was very important for her. But before she could even start tapping into the Jade Scroll's contents, the Calamity Star Sword suddenly became active because of her bloodline, just like the Jade Scroll.
Although she had turned into a law state, unlike Eva, her knowledge was still incomplete, so she didn't know about the bonds of treasures, and that's why she was confused. After all, since she had awakened, she had only been following her unique instincts.
"What voice? What did it say?" Eva asked, somewhat amused when she saw Alina's clueless expression.
Alina narrowed her eyes because she didn't like that expression, but she still revealed what she had just heard.
Realization dawned on Eva and Ace at this moment, and then Ace quickly explained what was going on, and he also understood why he felt familiar with that runic circle.
Alina also understood what was going on as she looked at the Calamity Star Sword with shining eyes, and since it was a good thing, she didn't hesitate anymore and gently slid her finger on the translucent starry blade, and her skin easily slit.
Ace and Eva were startled when they noticed that Alina's blood wasn't red; instead, it was silver with a golden tint, like mercury.
The moment the blood dropped on the blade, the circle under her feet shimmered brightly. Runes suddenly appeared on the gem on her glabella, and a mirror rune shimmered on the sword blade before they both vanished with the ethereal runic circle.
At this moment, the Calamity Star Sword suddenly turned into a dark streak and vanished into the gem on Alina's glabella.
The melodious voice again rang in Alina's head. However, the voice sounded somewhat violent, and what the voice said also shocked Alina.
"The Life Bond is established. You can now call me Star, little idiot!"
