Elder Lucy's eyes opened wide as everything happened before her. First it was Halcyon Mother of crows who blessed this crow with a name and clan. Then came tribulation lightning which caused the bird to practically explode it was a bloody, featherless Crow.
Veronica wasn't much better she had to cover her mouth just to keep her from shouting out in shock.
Latem was unhappy with mother's decision but complied anyway. In protest tho he threw his drop of blood a bit more forceful than everyone else's.
Fulmen was interested in what mother tried to do. This was the first time he had heard of mother Giving a name and progenitor status.
Gaia was confused on mother's plans but did as was told.
Aquarius and his bloodline was probably the best for the moment as it's aquatic nature seemed to calm the heavenly fire from the tribulation slightly.
Nimbus did as was told but he was a bit more reluctant as the choice was forced upon the child called Corvo. This did not align with his personal choices.
Halcyon's blood quickly set him on fire despite Aquarius bloodline.
Celsius who was usually quite and reserved quickly threw a drop of her blood which caused all sorts of changes towards the situation.
Finally it was Faust's turn his blood seemed to do the least damage physical but spiritually it had made his sould much more tougher and heavier causing The Grand Astral technique to slow down to a crawl.
Alexander now called Corvo was dealing with a myriad of different pain and sensations.
The lightning bolt ravaged his body the sheer force caused his feathers to explode off his body. If that wasn't enough the punishment traveled throughout his body and soul causing damage. The Grand Astral technique did its best to heal him with the help of the leftover medicine.
He then felt the first drop of blood it was as if sharp blades were piercing his body cutting his meridians and carving his core.It didn't take long for the drop of blood to transfer into his core.
The came a second drop this time it felt just as the heavens punishment did it sparked and shocked his body causing the liquids in his body to evaporate. The lightning carved itself into his core and the drop of blood flew in.
Gaia's blood was a bit different it felt as heavy as a mountain. It crushed his bones and tried to crush him as well. After the earth dao stamped his core the blood drop seeped into his core.
Aquarius blood seem to be a relief it cooled him down from the heavenly punishment and purified his blood and washed his core causing it to shrink a bit before seeping inside.
Nimbus followed next his blood seemed to make his blood thinner and more ethereal it was soo light that it had trouble flowing. The core was surrounded by cloudy and smokey blood which slowly seeped in causing his core to feel lighter.
Halcyon's blood was more powerful as she was the first crow to ever exist. Her blood drop quickly set him on fire again and cooked his flesh ,blood and core. His core was hot and impurities poured out of him which was burned up by the blood drop before it was Integrated and branded into his core.
Celsius gave him the sweet relief he so desperately needed the ice cold drop of blood lowered his body temperature and prevented him from cooking into baked crow. The cool sensation alleviated his pain and also started to freeze him. This drop and and Aquarius water seemed to synergize well making the Cold seem colder. It eventually seeped into his core while Carving his tiny core.
Then came Faust's blood drop it didn't cause any pain but it quickly burdened his soul it made much tougher and thick and as the blood drop circled his core it marked it before entering. This thick soul combined with the different essences of every crow causes the Grand Astral technique to slow and almost stall.
While all this was going on the humans watched as this tiny crow endured punishment that no mortal could ever survive. They were equally shocked and surprised to see the little guy survive.
A featherless fool stood wobbly against the torment. Endure.Endure . Endure! it was all he thought nothing else passed through his mind.
The pain started to recede. He then sat on the ground breathing heavily. He looked up at Halcyon and weakly said to her I..survived and then he collapsed.
