Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 Chapter 1546 Agitation in the Bloodline!

Upon hearing Lucia's words, Max released a soft sigh. Since Rose opted to stay out of it completely, he had zero plans to compel her. They were already treading risky ground, and pulling in a reluctant person would just breed more chaos.

He had only started pondering his next action when a abrupt shift stirred deep inside him.

His heart started thumping wildly.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

The pounding reverberated in his ears with overwhelming volume, each pulse carrying an eerie power that shouldn't be possible.

Max's face changed in an instant.

'What's going on?'

A wave of anxiety surged through him as his heartbeat quickened, growing more forceful and relentless by the second. He drew in a deep breath to compose himself, yet his heart accelerated even more fiercely.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Each thump hit with escalating power.

Then his body responded.

A slight quiver ran through him initially, so faint he almost missed it, but it rapidly grew stronger. His muscles clenched, grip on control fading as the shakes extended from his center to his arms and legs.

"Max, are you alright?" Isabella's voice rang out right away, spotting the alteration.

Lucia whipped around too, her gaze sharpening the instant she observed his state.

Max's whole frame shook without restraint.

"Max, what is going on?" Lucia demanded, her voice edged with worry.

"I do not know," Max answered, his tone tight as he struggled for even breaths. He sensed it vividly now. A scorching heat was surging inside him, building swiftly while his heart hammered on.

It wasn't ordinary.

It lay beyond his command.

"Calm down," Lucia instructed, moving nearer and resting her hand on his shoulder.

The instant she touched him, she jerked away in alarm.

"Your body… it is burning," she exclaimed, astonishment crossing her features. "What is happening to you?"

Max recognized it too.

The heat was genuine.

It went beyond mere feeling.

His body's temperature had spiked to unnatural heights, and it kept rising relentlessly.

'No… I have to stop this.'

Fierce resolve flared up as he bit his lip hard. Pain exploded as blood trickled out, but he clung to it, steadying his mind and seizing back control.

He narrowed his eyes, focusing inward.

If trouble brewed within, the source must lie inside his form.

His awareness swept through his inner workings, probing every inch meticulously.

And there it was.

His Heavenly Luminance Divine Bloodline.

It remained unsteady.

It throbbed wildly.

Every heartbeat synced with odd ripples in that bloodline, as though responding to an external trigger, something close by. It wasn't merely stirring. It was furious.

'What is happening to this bloodline?'

Max's brow furrowed intensely, the reason eluding him for now.

But he skipped the endless probing.

He sprang into action right away.

'Dragon Scales!'

In a flash, Max unleashed the might of his Black Dragon Chaotic Bloodline. As it flooded his veins, it clashed against the Heavenly Luminance Divine Bloodline, quelling it somewhat.

The impact struck fast.

The wild surges calmed a bit, and the shakes lessened.

Confirming its success, Max went all out. He summoned every Dragon Scale. All two thousand.

A mighty surge roared through him, utterly dominating the erratic pulses of the Heavenly Luminance Divine Bloodline. The clampdown turned total, silencing it completely.

Only then did the fierce outbursts cease.

His heart eased back to a normal rhythm.

The inner blaze started to ebb, and the quivers vanished entirely.

Max's eyes fluttered open, his breaths leveling out at last.

"I am fine," he assured them, voice firm again as he regarded Isabella and Lucia.

Lucia appeared far from reassured.

"What just happened to you?" she pressed, face still drawn tight.

Max's forehead creased faintly in response. "That… I do not know."

No sooner had he spoken than Max's focus snapped elsewhere.

Via his Dimensional Sovereign Body, his awareness stretched far beyond ordinary perception, sweeping the area sharply. Amid the throng clustered by the hexagonal barriers, one figure abruptly drew his notice.

A youthful elf male.

He strode steadily toward the force fields. Nothing about his look screamed extravagance at first sight, but something in him set Max's blood boiling.

The second Max's senses fixed on him, a violent reaction erupted inside his body.

The Heavenly Luminance Divine Bloodline, suppressed just moments earlier, started to awaken once more. It throbbed fiercely, stirred to life by nothing but that elf's very presence.

Max's face shifted in a flash.

'It's reacting to him?'

A surge of shock raced through his mind as the familiar warmth surged back, though now held in check by the Dragon Scales' ongoing suppression. Yet the turmoil in his bloodline remained impossible to ignore.

His eyes grew piercing.

Why was his bloodline responding to an elf?

Suddenly, a recollection flashed into Max's thoughts.

Lenavira.

She had been an elf as well, sharing a peculiar bond once between her bloodline and his. That soft vibration was delicate, nearly soothing, pointing toward harmony instead of strife.

For a fleeting second, Max considered if this sensation matched that earlier occurrence.

But the idea vanished in an instant.

He dismissed it at once.

"No… this is different," Max whispered to himself, his gaze tightening as his attention intensified.

This resonance felt entirely unlike the previous one.

With his Dimensional Sovereign Body, Max scrutinized the elf more intently, extending his senses to probe every aspect. The elf's aura stayed tightly leashed, nearly flawlessly mastered, but prolonged examination uncovered the trigger for his bloodline's unrest, driving Max to a deeply hazardous insight.
