Life Drop
The Life Drop, later identified as the Divine Blood and a drop of Enas's blood, is a soul-linked source of immense life energy that repeatedly sustains Jack Rust and houses other beings.
History
Trial Planet and the Hidden Blood
Jack found the drop in Trial Planet's third ring and absorbed it into his soul. It gave him a powerful four-armed battle form and a vast reserve of life energy, but he initially concealed its true origin, describing it as the Dao Root of Life. The drop's energy remained under his control and could be drawn back into it after a transformation. (Chapters 156–157, 358)
The Life Drop repeatedly fueled Jack's transformations, healing, and resistance to lethal attacks. Its intervention helped him survive Axelor's attack during his D-Grade breakthrough. Later, Jack learned that it was Enas's blood and that it contained an inner space tied to the guardian spirit Venerable Saint Thousand Shell. (Chapters 224, 358, 559)
The drop's limited reserves could be replenished with life energy, including energy from the Green Dragon Realm. Jack eventually returned it to Enas; it transformed into an Archon-level monster as it left him, and Jack destroyed it. (Chapters 489, 514, 559)
Abilities and properties
- Stores enormous life energy that Jack can draw into his body for a four-armed battle form, enhanced combat ability, and regeneration. Its energy is finite and can be depleted through use. (Chapters 156, 224, 391, 472)
- It can house Venerable Saint Thousand Shell and other residents in its own inner space; those beings are not property of the holder. The drop is tied to Jack's soul while he carries it. (Chapters 482, 488–489)
- Its true nature is divine blood from Enas, who calls the drop a gift. It ultimately manifests as an Archon-level monster when separated from Jack and is destroyed. (Chapters 559)
