*Blink*Blink*

”O-Oi, is this...right?”

Hao Xuan was having a hard time believing the words he just saw.

White had the bloodline of the fearsome Nine headed Hydra, a creature that was claimed to be unkillable. Whenever one of its heads was cut off, two more would grow in its place. It could grow to a size that a star could fit in each of its maws.

Whereas Black had the bloodline of an Abyss Eater Basilisk, whatever the hell that was.

He had no information regarding this species. It wasn't even mentioned in any of the books he had read.

'How are their bloodlines different? Aren't they twins?'

”Baracus, can twins have different bloodlines?”

”Yes and No. It can happen but it's exceptionally rare to the point of being considered a mutation, albeit less so in beasts since their genetic structure is much different from humans and they evolve faster.”

”Mhm, do you know anything about something called ”Abyss Eater Basilisk”? Any information at all will do.”

”Nope. I have information on normal basilisks but not the Abyss Eater kind. It could very well be a completely new bloodline.”

”I...hope it isn't. A new bloodline would NOT be easy to mature. What do you know about basilisks then?”

”I'm sure you've heard about it as well. They are cursed creatures reputed to be Kings among their kind. Absolutely ruthless to the point that even a single glance from them could extinguish the life out of other beings.”

”There aren't too many of them alive since they are killed off at a very young age. A fully grown basilisk is akin to a natural disaster, one that can only be avoided and never fought head-on.”

Hao Xuan looked down at Black who was already playfully biting his finger and couldn't even imagine him as the so-called ruthless ”Serpent King”.

The same went for White who was bitting down on Black's tail for some reason while the other party completely ignored him.

He had picked them just over a year ago and even though their original forms were vicious and savage to others, to him they couldn't be any less dangerous.

*Sigh*

”Serpent king and Draconic Hydra, eh? I'm looking forward to your true forms then,” he smiled at them while mumbling to himself.

*Tremble*

The earth shook, throwing Hao Xuan down to the ground.

No, everything shook. An earthquake of at least a 7 magnitude suddenly hit the city of Fortuna, followed by an explosion so loud that every single glass window within the radius of 150 kilometers shattered.

*BOOOOOM*

A mushroom cloud rose high into the air from the outer city, shortly followed by blaring sirens.

Hao Xuan's watch vibrated. It was a message from First.

”Do not go outside no matter what. If anyone approaches you, run to the nearest military installation.”
