Sekhmet felt the change immediately.
It began in his heart.
One heavy beat.
Then another.
His blood suddenly became clearer to his senses than it had ever been before. He could feel every drop moving through his body. He could feel the blood still scattered across the Iron House courtyard. Elena's blood. Sofia's. Natasha's. Stephen's small traces of divine blood left from the wounds they had managed to give him.
He could even feel the blood of people hiding deeper inside the mansion.
Hundreds of heartbeats.
Hundreds of living bodies.
For one short moment, the entire Iron House estate seemed to become a map made from blood.
Sekhmet's pupils narrowed.
The System continued.
[Blood Control Lv3 acquired.
Blood control range increased.
