Ch.164 An Abomination Becoming an Anomaly?!
“No more… eating?” The Sli Abomination asked, confusion, reluctance and discomfort clear in its tone, which was quite sothing considering its lack of Soul and inability to feel most emotions. Perhaps if it could feel the more intricate emotions like a normal living being could it would have yelled out with despair, sothing that Eridel found quite amusing.
He had been silently studying the Abomination this entire ti and had learnt quite a bit, and it seed that short from death, nothing truly worried it. At the end of the day, no matter how smart it had beco because of its many brains, it was still an Abomination and its only desires were to devour more and more life force and obtain more and more evolutions. Nothing else.
“You can still eat, but only within the boundaries I have set.” Eridel said with a smile.
“...You want to guard the Continent?” The Sli Abomination asked.
“Yes.”
“Why ? Why not the Cloud?”
“I already have other plans for Cleo, he’s needed elsewhere. And so, what better than the next strongest being on the continent to beco its guardian?”
For a mont there was silence.
“...You keep addressing the Cloud as ‘he’, it has a gender?” the Sli Abomination suddenly asked.
Eridel blinked. “...Not really. Not yet at least.” He hadn’t expected such a question.
“Then why do you say ‘he’?” the Abomination pressed.
Eridel looked up to the sky as his right eye twitched.
“That is not sothing that you need to worry about, child. Instead, you should be thinking about your new duties as a Guardian.”
Eridel was absolutely not going to tell it that he had simply assud the cloud’s gender.
“But that is not my purpose.” The Sli Abomination responded. “My purpose is to harvest life and all the power it has to offer. Even before I beca an Abomination and I was just a lowly Sli Monster, the only thing I knew was to kill.”
‘So it’s aware of its identity as an Abomination… Most aren't.’ Eridel thought.
Most Abominations across the universe were unaware of what they had beco. Even the intelligent and self-aware ones were commonly deluded, thinking that they were perfectly fine even if they were most certainly not. It was like sothing was preventing them from knowing what they truly were and it was an oddity that even the golden orb that had granted him so much knowledge had not provided any info on. However, clearly, the Sli Abomination was a cut above those deluded Abominations.
‘Well it’s not too surprising. With the amount of intelligence that it amassed in all this ti, it can probably still utilise the System.’
“I’m sure you’ll pick up a thing or 2 once you get a brand new Soul.” he said out loud. “Either way you can’t refuse, so you better start thinking.”
“...How do we start?” the Sli Abomination said after a while.
Eridel pointedly gazed at the Wraith King before him whose intangible cloak was still fluttering wildly, albeit not as bad as before.
“You can start by getting out of that body first. I’ll be waiting for you at the cave.”
With a single thought, his body was replaced by beautiful golden lights that showered his surroundings in a fantastical display of might. Eventually the lights disappeared and he was nowhere to be found. But in reality, he had already relocated himself to the cave he had sealed the Sli Abomination’s true body in.
Slumped ahead of him was the giant form of the Sli Abomination in all of its pulsing and sticky glory. It was of course still wrapped by the Golden chains that sealed most of its capabilities and nothing had changed at all.
He was still unable to read the Abomination’s mind, but he had been suspecting that the main reason that it had chosen to make the Wraith King an Original Undead instead of a corpse was because it had the desire to escape. Perhaps it thought that it could find a thod to escape using the Wraith King’s body. Sothing utterly futile.
Well, whatever the case. There was no longer a need to escape, Eridel was going to let it out himself.
The truth of all this was that he just wanted to see if it was possible for sothing that was ‘alive’ but without a Soul to beco an Anomaly. And what better target than the Sli Abomination? If the transformation was successful, the Sli Abomination would beco sothing so special that even calling it a Calamity Grade Abomination would beco a mockery. To have such a thing under his control was not sothing he was easily willing to give up.
A few more seconds passed before the heavy chains moved and emitted loud sounds that signified the fact that the Sli Abomination had returned its consciousness to its body. It wiggled for a mont in what seed to be the equivalent of a stretch before settling down.
“It’s good to see you. Are you ready?” Eridel asked as a grin once more crept its way across his face. He was very excited to see what would happen. If the process failed, the Sli Abomination would likely die and it would be a rather great loss. After all, Calamity Grade Abominations didn’t grow on trees. But if he succeeded…
“No. I would like-” the Sli Abomination began
“Great! What a courageous and valiant young kid! Let’s get started!” Eridel interrupted, completely ignoring the Abominations troubles.
“Brace yourself!” He yelled with an exhilarated voice and a wild grin as he lifted his arms up to the sky.
WHOOOOOOOOM!
Suddenly, enormous amounts of Magical Energy began to flood the cave, and it was so quick that in a span of a few seconds, the amount of Magical Energy in the area had beco so concentrated that it began to beco visible.
The cave was suddenly filled with golden mist, the sparkling and ethereal kind that you would expect to be surrounding precious treasures or lucky items. And all of it was being vacuud into the Sli Abomination’s body!
