Chapter 51 …What?
Ch.51 ...What?
In an unknown Oasis of the Southern Desert lay a family of Flame Horned Oryxes that stood erect by a lake. In that lake were a few eternally warring species consisting of Electric Squid, Stone Scaled Alligators and Dual Headed Tortoises could be seen thrashing about.
They were all different species that often battled for supremacy but there was one thing that they shared at this fatal moment.
Bone-shaking terror!
They couldn’t see it, but they knew it! Something terrible was after their life!
The family of Oryxes didn’t dare to wait anymore and they made a mad dash to the edges of the oasis, not waiting to see the cause of their fear.
Unfortunately, the cause of their fear was very interesting in making its acquaintance.
A thick grey mucus-like substance rose up from the ground and gathered together again in the appearance of the Slime Abomination.
Driven by its new voracious need to absorb lives, the Abomination returned to the surface. With its ‘Peak 9th Stage of the 3rd Realm’ capabilities on top of its Abomination perks and Domicus Treasure effects, finding lives was extremely easy.
It just so happened that the Beasts in the Oasis were the closest.
What happened next need not be explained, the Abomination massacred every single Beast with none of them being able to escape.
But what happened next spelled the tale of the Abomination amongst Abominations. Not only did the Beasts not dissipate into ash (product of becoming an Abomination), but the corpses were consumed and absorbed into the Slime, gaining the skills and certain body parts of the victims.
Sure, all Abominations consume other Life Forms for the Vital Essence (Life Force/Vitality) that alleviate their pain, but none of them should have the ability to assimilate other Life Forms into themselves in its entirety. It could never be certain but this was most likely the result of the 2 conflicting Domicus Treasures.
And what was the result?
Wiggling tentacles that stuck out of the Slime’s body, multiple eyes that seemed to belong to different races and a few horns here and there. Sometimes, a leg or claw would even pop out, showing the Abomination’s instinctive control over the abilities and body parts that it gained from its victims.
At the very least, the Abomination didn’t look like some amalgamation of different creatures because of the fact that each additional body part looked like they were a natural part of it. They were made out of grey slime with some of them being of a lighter or darker shade. For example the multiple eyes that were of a lighter shade of grey.
This could have been slightly bearable, after all like every other Abomination, the Slime had suffered a massive blow to its intelligence when it went through its Abomination Transformation with only 3 things occupying its thoughts.
Murder, massacre and genocide.
Such a thing would have prevented this menace from being truly great, sooner or later it would have been felled by an innovative trick and that would be the end.
But unfortunately, when the Slime absorbed the strength, defence, agility and other such things from its victims. Intelligence was not lacking.
It couldn’t be seen because of the lack of transparency, but there were multiple brains inside the Slime with all of them complimenting each other. Not only was this Abomination not the slightest bit dumb, but it was already smarter than someone like Raiko the Beast King and all it had to do was consume more more victims to become even smarter, stronger and faster.
This Abomination was certainly not the useless kind that could only suffer till death in-vain and was not even the glass cannon kind that had all the power but no defence.
This was a 1/1,000,000,000 Calamity Grade Abomination.
The Abomination of Abominations and Destroyer of Worlds.
If something wasn’t done... the World was finished.
...
(1 Year Later)
...
The following year was a nightmare for all Life Forms on the North Continent. Undead beings ran everywhere taking lives or converting others into more undead.
{ Monarch’s Note: The difference between the undead that the Abomination created and the Undead formed from excess exposure to Undead Essence isn’t to be ignored, don’t let if fly over your head. }
Everyday lives were taken and the toll only increased. Even the mighty Trees (which were all Magic Trees) were destroyed and consumed. In the end only the 3 overlords of the continent were left.
The [Stone Armoured Bull King] that was in the 7th Stage of the Seeking Beast Realm and 1st Stage in Anatomy Refinement.
The [Lightning Roc] that was in the 9th Stage of the Seeking Beast Realm.
And finally the [3 Tailed Glacial Fox] that was also in the 9th Stage of the Seeking Beast Realm.
All of these terrifying Beasts released their powerful auras as they prepared to go all out with the terrifying existence known as the Abomination of the North.
But before they could even react, 3 claws from 3 different species burst out of the Slime Abomination and grabbed them, dragging them back to the main body before disappearing.

The Abomination wiggled in glee when it felt the succulent powers and abilities that it had absorbed. Now, it could move on to the next phase of its plans.
The same Roc Wings that it had just obtained extend out of its body in a size that was proportionate to his own.
Whoosh!
With a flap of its wings, it disappeared into the air before shortly arriving at the shore of the Sea.
‘Now... What does the-’
DING!
【SYSTEM ANNOUNCEMENT】
‘...What?’
Before the Abomination could even react, a divine light exploded out of the sky. It wasn’t even able to think before it was struck and darkness consumed its vision.
...The Abomination. The Terror of the Continent had be knocked out in a single blow.
“Aiii... What a mess~”
A powerful and archaic yet seductive voice resounded throughout the North Continent.
