closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spacetime Beast unleashed the compressed sphere into a terrifying beam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed of the beam was as fast as the faster Spells Shang had seen in the Grand Tournament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before the beam could hit the marble, everything in front of it turned black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like the entire world in front of the Spacetime Beast had been replaced with a black wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beam hit the black wall and dispersed without slowing the black wall by a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the Spacetime Beast was able to actually see what the black wall was with its Spirit Sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a beastly hand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a humongous hand, over 20,000 kilometers wide!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hand was covered in black scales, and it had five terrifying claws at the end of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spacetime Beast wanted to retreat, but before it could, the claw reached it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRKSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The claw crushed the Spacetime Beast in its grip and pulled back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this happened so quickly that no one had noticed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mage Lords and Mage Kings that were looking at the sky by sheer coincidence felt like they had just blinked without taking note of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For just a tiny moment, a huge black claw had appeared in front of the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Spacetime Beast was violently pulled into the tiny marble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantaneously, the white portion of the marble expanded, suppressing the black portion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, a humongous black beast appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Abomination King!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Abomination King was surrounded by Mana, but its entire perception was focused on the marble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its eyes were widened with fervent fanaticism, and an instant later, it split into white and black energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white energy fell downward, expanding and dispersing across the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black energy entered the marble, increasing the black side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the white side was still superior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another Abomination King appeared, and the same thing happened again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the marble was in balance again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, another two Abomination Kings appeared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their Mana was dispersed across the world, while their Entropy was consumed by the marble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black portion of the marble became even bigger, and the marble started to warp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, the world around the marble was no longer being destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like the marble no longer needed any more Mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another Abomination King appeared, its Mana dispersing across the world and its Entropy being absorbed by the marble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, the marble was shaking violently, and several cracks appeared on its surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around 60% of the marble was filled with black, while 40% were filled with white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, condensed white Mana came out of the marble, which fell towards the world and dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black portion of the marble increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, the black portion took up exactly 70% of the marble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, three Abomination Lords appeared, and they were fully absorbed by the marble, including the Mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The marble began to shake and crack again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, black and white energy came out of the marble, but this time, they didn't disperse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they encompassed it and became solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some minutes, a head appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Shang's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the Death Mana appeared inside the head again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRKSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But whenever it did, the Entropy inside Shang's body lashed out, destroying the Death Mana.I think you should take a look at\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Entropy had undergone an even closer fusion with the Mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Entropy and Mana were one thing, but they could also act separately from another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Entropy was protecting the Mana from Entropy, and the Mana was protecting Entropy from Mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a stable fusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like Entropy Ore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, the Mana could leave the Entropy, and the Entropy could leave the Mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what the Death Mana did, the Entropy just dispersed it without being dispersed itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't matter how many pebbles one threw at a steel wall. The steel wall wouldn't get weaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The marble was in the middle of Shang's brain, and it contained all of Shang's soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The marble was the inner world that the God had given Shang, but Shang had repurposed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The marble was the spot that Shang had chosen for his soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the Death Mana also appeared inside the marble, but it didn't matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Shang's body, Shang's soul was now also made of 70% Entropy and 30% Mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was what Shang had meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his destiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang was destined to become an Abomination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the Child of Calamity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if he wanted true power, he needed to become an Abomination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Abominations were far superior to humans and beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had so many abilities that were simply at a higher base level than anything humanity could create.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were beings of a higher level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang had advanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had elevated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had risen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weakness of beast flesh was no longer a constraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fragility of a human soul no longer mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natural death didn't exist anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Longevity didn't matter anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang was still a Peak Sword Lord that was over 25,000 years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Death Mana that was supposed to end his life still appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it didn't matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abominations didn't die natural deaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abominations only died to Mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, the white and black energy created a neck before creating a muscular torso.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, it shot out of the right side of the torso, creating a right arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the black and white energy appeared at the bottom of the torso.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the majority of the white energy vanished, leaving far more black energy. There was only a little bit of white energy visible now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black energy and the bit of white energy stretched down, forming legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, these legs were not human legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the legs of an Abomination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked almost identical to velociraptor legs, ending in terrifying black claws and being covered in black scales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, the black energy gathered at the left side of the torso, creating the arm of an Abomination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arm was long, covered in black scales, and ended in five fingers with terrifying claws at their tips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Shang's eyelids quivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they slowly opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a way, it was almost like the eye sockets were empty or filled with emptiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only a long and thin white pupil in the middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pupils inside the eye looked around, perceiving the world for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, they looked down at the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang's expression turned into a disgusted sneer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This world is worthless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1118,"2026-06-06T04:07:26.031Z",1,"novelbin.me","da495e8742aa900b9847459359167d52689f8e1420c672f7866e91f511079772","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-975","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-973",1033,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-cover.jpg"]
