Reincarnated as a World

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)

A third of the life on the Continent had been eradicated by the Abomination and the plant life was included. 

At this point, the Abomination was a lot stronger than its cultivation portrayed and it already had the strength of a 4th Realm being.

The only reason it had not broken through yet was because of the suppression that Eridel had placed on all Life Forms, preventing them from breaking through to the 4th Realm without his supervision and doing the ‘stupid shit’ that the Abomination was doing now.

The only reading it was still getting stronger was because of the powers and abilities that it directly absorbed from its victims.

Even now, it was still killing and becoming stronger with seemingly no limit. Grey coloured fire balls, icicles and lightning bolts struck panicking Humans with pinpoint-precision.

The Abomination was currently in a Human settlement that it had found and was doing what it did best; killing.

In mere seconds, the population of over 12,000 Humans was reduced to 10. But for some reason, it did not kill the remaining Humans. Instead it watched them with an eerily calculative gaze.

It was much more harrowing when you considered the multiple eyes.

Suddenly, a minute chunk of slime the size of a head was split off from the Abomination. Strangely, it started bouncing and looking around with curiosity as if it was a separate being from the Abomination.

A few of the Abomination’s eyes were trained onto it with laser focus and zero emotions. This was the first time that it was using this technique. A technique that it could have used before even before it became the Abomination that it was now.

[Reproduction]

A technique that enabled a Slime to split a part of itself to form a new Slime with its own consciousness.

The fact that the Abomination was ‘giving birth’ was already worrying but in quick succession, 9 more newborn Slimes were produced like it was nothing.

Making a decision, the Abomination used its progenitor bloodline to exert complete control over the newborn Slimes.

The slimes wiggled or hopped to a Human each. It truthfully wasn’t hard when all 10 of the Humans had passed out from fear, or more accurately the terrifying aura that the Abomination was emitting.

When the 10 Slimes had made contact with a Human, the Abomination forced them to use the same skill that he had been using all this time.

[Assimilation]

For a moment, nothing happened. The newborn slimes only wiggled intensely as if suffering in pain.

But suddenly, the slimes deformed before slowly dissolving into the Human bodies. Now it was their turn to start violently twitching. It was quite the terrifying sight and all the while the Abomination watched.

Soon, the ‘Humans’ had their skin turn grey and their irises disappear until all that was left was an empty white. It should also be mentioned that all the life in their bodies was gone. They were dead.

It would seem that whatever experiment that the Abomination was trying had failed…

Well.

It should have failed, but the Humans had actually managed to stand up once again. Empty gaze, amateurish movements and all but did it.

From each of the ‘Humans’, the same essence was being emitted. It was the same peculiar essence that the Abomination had before it started assimilating with all sorts of beings, turning it into the monstrosity that it was now.

It was Undead Essence. The essence of Life when it was severely corrupted but not destroyed by Death Essence. This was a type of essence that struck fear in the heart of many because of how difficult it was to deal with.

But this of course didn’t faze the Abomination. In fact it even summoned multiple mouths just to grin.

…The audacity.

…

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】

<All Residents have received the Eridius System as a gift from the gods.>

<The Eridius System has been designed to help you in your everyday life. Please check ‘Status'.>

‘...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.
