The sight of a drop of blood within the ornate chest took Karna by surprise. It was an unexpected and enigmatic discovery, one that raised more questions than answers. He examined the drop of blood closely, trying to discern its significance.
[Karna, Use observe on it hurry!!]
With a sense of curiosity and caution, Karna activated his power of observation.

[Type: Bloodline]
[Grade: SSS+(Peak)]

It is a substance of unparalleled potency, transcending mortal and divine boundaries. This drop of blood contains not only the physical essence of Ravana but also a fragment of his spiritual and mystical power. It has been preserved for eons, safeguarded as a source of immense potential.]

[Yes/No]
As Karna observed the drop of blood, the information that appeared before him was both awe-inspiring and cautionary. The essence of Demon King Ravana, preserved for eons, had been uncovered, and it held power and knowledge beyond mortal comprehension.
But Karna's eyes narrowed as he noticed the worn yellow piece of paper hidden beneath the vial of Ravana's Blood Essurance. It had been carefully concealed, almost as if someone had intended for it to be discovered.
With a sense of curiosity and caution, Karna reached for the piece of paper and carefully unfolded it. The writing upon it was ancient, the characters swirling and intricate, like a message from a bygone era.
[Message from the Past]
[To the Seeker of this legacy,
If you are reading this, then I might have guided you here because only I know about this secret treasure. You have passed the ultimate test of worthiness, and now the true legacy of Meghnad i.e. Me, is within your grasp.
My father Ravana was actually afraid of that fateful day when I was to die at the hands of Lakshmana, Not only that but his death as well so in the pursuit of survival of his bloodline, he made a pact or you can say outright begged Lord Shiva and handed him my(Meghnad's) Blood Essurance while handing his(Ravana's) own Blood Essurance to me for hiding it so that it couldn't fall into the wrong hands. The blood you now possess is not just any essence; it contains a fragment of my father's power and a piece of his very soul.
You might wonder why this was hidden, why it was not used to save Ravana or myself. The answer lies in power and destiny. My father Ravana was a man of immense ambition and pride, but he was also bound by his own fate. It was foretold that he would fall at the hands of a divine arrow, and nothing could change that.
As for me, I chose to face my destiny head-on, to stand for what I believed in and the principles I held dear. I accepted my fate, knowing that even in death, I could pass on something of great significance to the world.
By already having my bloodline in you, you could already take the Kingdom of Lanka as yours, But with my father's bloodline, it will be set into motion the moment you integrate with it,
A transformation and transcendence like no other. It will not only make you a formidable ruler but will grant you the power to reshape the destiny of your kingdom and beyond.
However, remember that power, especially power of this magnitude, comes with great responsibility. It can be a force for good or for destruction, depending on the choices you make. My father, Ravana, learned this the hard way.
May you find strength and wisdom in your journey, and may the legacy of Meghnad, Ravana, and the power you now hold be a force for the betterment of all.
With respect,
Meghnad]
"..." Karna was left speechless by the contents of the message but at the part where Lord Shiva appeared to have been involved in the exchange of blood essurance between Meghnad and Ravana.
'Did he predict all this, that I will die and become Karna and by giving me Meghnad's Bloodline he orchestrated all this, Mahadev?' Karna in profound contemplation. It seemed that destiny and divine forces had played a significant role in the events that had unfolded, leading to him inheriting the bloodlines of both Meghnad and Ravana.
[WOW~ That was something else huh! Karna]
Artemis's sweet, seductive voice echoed in Karna's mind.
Karna nodded in agreement with Artemis's comment. The revelations and discoveries he had encountered in the mystical Ragla forest had indeed been something else, beyond anything he could have imagined.
He turned his attention back to the message from Meghnad, considering the choice he now faced.

"First use the Amethyst Upgrade Ticket on the Blood Essurance, My luck should help here."
[Very Well]
[Using 1x Amethyst Upgrading Ticket on Ravana's Blood Essurance]
[Upgrading...]
[Please Wait...]
[...]
[You have acquired Upgraded Ravana's Blood Essurance(EX)]
[Name: Upgraded Ravana's Blood Essurance]
[Type: Bloodline]
[Grade: EX]
[Description: Upgraded Ravana's Blood Essurance(EX) is a refined and enhanced version of the original Ravana's Blood Essurance. But don't underestimate it because by this upgrade bloodline gained some divinity which Og Ravana could have achieved if he had not been bound by his fate.]
[Note: All side effects have been eliminated, Now It is safe for integration. While its properties further enhanced.]
Karna's decision to use the Amethyst Upgrade Ticket on Ravana's Blood Essurance proved to be a wise one. The bloodline, now upgraded to EX grade, had shed its potential side effects and gained an additional layer of divinity that even Demon King Ravana had been denied due to his destiny.
The choice before Karna now seemed clearer, yet it remained a momentous decision. With the bloodlines of both Meghnad and Ravana at his disposal, he had the power to reshape the destiny of his kingdom and beyond. It was a responsibility that weighed heavily on his shoulders.
Karna looked at the upgraded Ravana's Blood Essurance with a sense of determination. He understood the potential and the risks that came with such power, but he was resolved to use it wisely, in the spirit of the principles he held dear.
"Yes," Karna declared, his voice filled with resolve. "I will integrate with the Upgraded Ravana's Blood Essurance(EX). Let it be a force for good and a legacy that honours the memory of Meghnad and Ravana."
[Host has chosen to integrate with Upgraded Ravana's Blood Essurance(EX).]

[Hastinapur, Kuru Kingdom]
Kunti was in her chambers, pacing back and forth with a sense of regret while muttering the word 'stupid' under her breath.
"Stupid, Why do you(talking about herself) have to ask him something like that so casually? He doesn't even know that you are his birth mother, Stupid..."
As Kunti continued to berate herself for her thoughtless question to Karna, she couldn't help but feel a profound sense of guilt and unease. But there was anger hidden behind this facade of hers because even if Karna didn't know that she was his birth mother how can he refuse her so brutally?
Kunti's thoughts were a tumultuous storm of emotions, and she knew that she needed to find a way to bridge the gap between her and Karna. But how to do that was a question that weighed heavily on her heart.
