Zero did his best to placate Valna reminding her that he would fulfill his promise to do so within 10 years. After returning to the hotel Valna left Zero saying that she would head over to train with Hammer. Zero thought that he should probably have Hammer start teaching Nova some hand-to-hand defensive techniques while he shows help her with her skills. Zero planned to use Nyx’s orb to transport them to an unknown world so it would be better if he knew she could defend herself.
Zero sent a message to Hammer that they should meet up outside. Then he entered his space and continued to practice his skills until it was time for the meeting. Zero stopped a few minutes before the scheduled meeting time and teleport to the hotel lobby. Zero walked outside to find Hammer and 10 other individuals standing outside waiting. It seemed that due to their training they arrived earlier than the decided time.
Hammer looked up and said with a smile, “Hey lad how have ya been?”
Zero looked over the other 10 people standing in front of him. There were 6 women and 4 men standing rigidly looking at him scrutinizing him and judging him. Zero disgraded their looks and looked toward Hammer and said, “Yeah It’s been a while. I’ve been good thank you for asking. How are you?”
“Me? I’ve been good. Although I’d been even better if ya stopped by to train with me as much as that lass Valna. She stops by every day.” answered Hammer
Hammer then turned to the rigid 10 individuals standing behind him and said, “Attention! This is Zero he is the person I mentioned so be respectful.”
“Sir yes sir!” yelled all 10 of the soldiers simultaneously
Hammer then motioned for Zero to say something so he said, “It’s a pleasure to meet you all. I’m sure Hammer has explained all this to you all but I go over it lightly. You are all here to be changed from humans into a new species. You will be some of the first of these species alongside Hammer here. I want you to help us with our city but I won’t force you to do so. All I truly hope for is that you will not despise the creature you will be transformed into so that this species will grow and flourish. I thank you for making this choice and hope for the best for all of you.”

The soldier's faces didn’t change but they nodded after Zero’s speech. Zero said nothing more and walked into the hotel followed by Hammer and the soldiers. He lead them to his room and opened a dimensional portal in the doorway leading to his realm. Before returning from his skill practice session Zero had created a small piece of land and filled the space with air. The soldier’s facial expression finally revealed something besides their stoic look and a look of surprise appeared on everyone’s face with the exception of Hammer.
‘Hmm, I thought that if you say things clumsily and from the heart, it’s supposed to move people. How come this space shocks them but my speech can’t even make them smile. Should I try again? No, it’s not a good idea. We’re here already so I might finish what I need to do today.’
Zero produced a vial of blood from within his shadow. This blood belonged to Yui the new breed of werewolves that Zero created. Zero squeezed the vial until it shattered in his hand but strangely no blood spilled on the ground as it collected into a sphere. Zero then titled his hand dropping all the glass shards leaving only the blood. He then transform a finger into a claw and slit his palm and willed the blood to enter his body.
With his system, offline Zero received no notification of acquiring a skill but he was sure he could create the werewolves now. Zero had all 11 individuals lie down on the ground and with his vampyr skill controlled his blood. 11 blood spheres pieced out of his hand and with his telekinesis he controlled the spheres moving them over the heads of the group.
“Please open your mouths.” said Zero
When they complied the sphere flew into their mouths and the liquid slid down their throats. The 11 individuals began to convulse in pain. Zero activated his divine sight and saw that their pain was caused by Zero’s mana rapidly entering their bodies and rewriting them at a cellular level. Zero then used his mental skill to block out their pain as the transformation continued.
After almost an hour the 11 stopped convulsing and Zero mana no longer entered their bodies at such a rapid pace. Now that the transformation had finished their bodies could hold mana but they couldn’t absorb Zero's highly pure divine mana except for the transformation process. The consciousness of the 11 faded and they went into a sleep-like state. Zero opened a dimensional portal and carried them out of his space into his room and laid them out filling his room.
After an hour of sleeping in Zero’s room, the 11 began to awaken. Zero had nothing to do as he wait so he practice his telekinesis skill experimenting with the maximum number of things he could control skillfully. When he began he could move 15 objects simply and only 4 objects masterfully but as he trained that number now was 16 and 6.
“Hey, lad that was an unpleasant experience. Is it done?” asked Hammer
“Yeah, you’re a full-fledged supernatural creature. Now it’s time for boot camp so please follow me.” said Zero as he opened a dimensional portal to the building where Soma and Alucard were training the vampires and Yui.
Zero led them to the backyard area where 3 individuals were waiting for them Alucard, Soma, and Yui. Hammer walked over and stood by the side of the 3 and faced the other 10 before saying, “Me and these guys will be in charge of training and helping you understand your new bodies. No time like the present so let’s get started!”
