No one had ever seen an Abomination Emperor, and this could very well be one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, Shang was the Child of Calamity. Maybe the Child of Calamity had used the Abominations to kill all the Mage Emperors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, the Child of Calamity thing was more logically sound, but the reason why not everyone believed in it was Shang's appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn't connect this terror with a former human\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As more weeks passed, the Mages that appeared around Shang became more and more courageous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of them even dared to get close enough to see Shang with their actual eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two full months, one of the Mage Lords even managed to stay several hours near Shang's body to witness what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene of seeing thousands and millions of Abominations throwing themselves into Shang's bod\\, and Shang's body barely growing sent a deep feeling of hopeless despair through the Mage Lord's soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing was growing more powerful by the second and rapidly so!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, more and more Mage Lords started to hover around Shang's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The things that were happening here were terrifying but also fascinating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had to learn about how Shang worked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then could they find his weakness and stop the end of the world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six months after the announcement, hundreds of Mage Lords were hovering around Shang's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were constantly doing tests on Shang and the Abominationsjumping into him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, many of the Mage Lords and Mage Kings weren't even certain that Shang was actually intelligent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe someone else had sent them the message six months ago?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they couldn't feel Shang's Spirit Sense or perception, and they also couldn't tell whether or not Shang was looking at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They only saw a gigantic hill of rapidly moving blades and eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked otherworldly and terrifying, but as long as they didn't touch the blades, nothing happened to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang was almost like a scary environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was like a poison swamp or the pit of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this hill actually conscious, or was itjust some kind of natural force that absorbed Abominations?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This hill obviously had the power to destroy the world. After all, there were so many Abominations inside of its body. If it detonated just 10% of its body, all life would cease to exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, it didn't do that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it also never did anything to any of the Mage Kings and Mage Lords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the Mage Kings even attacked the hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sadly, their attacks had no effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fleshy hill was so incredibly durable that none of the Mage Kings managed to damage it in any way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Shang watched all of this with amusement and interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to see what the Mage Kings would be able to come up with in the next thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of the Mage Kings also started to kill the Abominations that were running into Shang's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This nightmare was growing more and more powerful by absorbing Abominations. If they ever wanted to have a chance at defeating it, they had to stop it from growing more powerful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang found the Mage Kings' struggle amusing, and he let them have their fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tide of Abominations was infinite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One couldn't block infinity eternally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more, the Mage Kings couldn't even block all of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could block all the Ancestral Abomination and weaker, but blocking the Abomination Lords was difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, they got most of the Abomination Lords, but some of them were fast enough to jump into Shang's body before dying to the Mage Kings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, there were the Abomination Kings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About once per month, an Abomination King appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, there was nothing the Mage Kings could do against the Abomination Kings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, one year after the announcement, something major happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black silhouette of a human appeared near Shang's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mage Lords and Mage Kings immediately noticed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when they did, they felt absolute terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Irresistible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncontrollable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indestructible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was what they had felt from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, this was an Abomination Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet,just like all the other Abominations, the Abomination Emperor just jumped into Shang's body and got absorbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRRRRR!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Abomination Emperor entered Shang's body, Shang's body suddenly expanded by 20%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the Mage Lords that had been close to Shang's body couldn't react in time and were turned into pure Mana by the rapidly moving blades.
