'What?' Darryl was struck dumb by her words, and his mind began to buzz. 'Is she really going to give me the Power of Bird Ancestor?'
Then he said, "No, don't do that. I'm still not powerful enough. I'm not worthy enough to receive the Power of Bird Ancestor."
Even though he was confident of his power in the Human World, he also had the self-awareness that he was completely below average in the place where the demons were held captive. More importantly, the Power of Bird Ancestor was no trivial matter. In fact, it concerned the future of an entire beast's race. A great power required a great responsibility, and he dared not accept it.
However, the Red Sparrow Queen was determined and would not take no for an answer.
Finally, Garuda snapped out of his trance, and his face contorted with rage. "D*mn you, Red Sparrow! You'd really rather pass the power to a mere mortal than to me? Let me tell you something, the Power of Bird Ancestor is mine!"
Powerful energy erupted from Garuda, and he shot toward the Red Sparrow Queen like a cannon. Darryl was shocked; he thought that exposing the Power of Bird Ancestor like that was a wrong move. He wanted to rush toward her but found himself unable to move at all.
In the blink of an eye, Garuda was already inches away from the Red Sparrow Queen and was reaching out to grab the blood-red ball when a blinding light and terrifying energy exploded from the ball. Garuda had no time to react and flew a hundred meters backward before landing heavily on the ground. Blood immediately gushed from his mouth.
"All done!" the Red Sparrow Queen said softly with a hint of a smile as she looked at Darryl. "I have no more regrets and can die in peace now that you have received the Power of Bird Ancestor." Her body gradually became more transparent while she was saying that. Then, it transformed into a rainbow glow and dissipated into the surrounding darkness.
The Red Sparrow Queen had already used up all her energy during the battle with Garuda. Under those circumstances, she could only burn her own essence and blood to transfer the Power of Bird Ancestor to Darryl. With the transfer of the Power of Bird Ancestor completed, she had already consumed the last trace of her life.
Darryl was dumbstruck. He stared blankly at where the Red Sparrow Queen was just standing moments ago, and his mind went blank. 'She sacrificed herself to pass me the Power of Bird Ancestor."
