To be frank, Kaden never expected the Third Ant Ancestor, Maneli, to be the first to accept what he was offering. Well, he wasn't offering, more like making everyone aware of what he was capable of.
But since he knew where he was going with it, he might as well treat it as an offer.
Naturally, being asked by a Primordial to take his blood came as a shock.
While Maneli isn't as strong as King Xzeth, he is still a Primordial, an existence that can harness the power of the Origin Dao and use it to shape reality. His power is beyond anything the Primus Universe can handle.
If he joins him, then there is no telling the kind of power Kaden will unlock.
"Maneli, are you perhaps asking this because you wish to be stronger than me?" King Xzeth asked, looking at the Third Ant Ancestor, whom he had interacted with many times in the past and knew was perhaps very cunning when it came to things power-related.
