Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang activated his Domain of Entropy but didn't use it to destroy the matter around him. It didn't have any offensive capabilities in this state, but the Abominations would surely sense it.

For several minutes, Shang simply waited in the middle of the lake. Since his Domain was destroying nothing, the beasts also didn't notice it.

After about ten minutes, Shang felt something.

He felt a kind of connection with something very distant.

It was like Shang was feeling innumerable sleeping presences far away.

The last time Shang had summoned Abominations had been on accident during his breakthrough. Obviously, he hadn't had the time to concentrate on these presences since he had been busy with his breakthrough.

But this time, he could fully focus on them.

The presences all had different levels of power. Most of them were incredibly weak, and Shang was pretty certain that these weak presences symbolized Soldier Stage Abominations.

There were also a lot of more powerful presences, which should be the General Stage Abominations.

The strongest presences, which should be the Commander Stage Abominations, were only about 20 in number.

'I can control what I summon?' Shang thought with furrowed brows.

Shang slowly reached out to one of the Commander Stage Abominations and slowly pulled.

He felt the presence steer, but along with it steered about 20 General Stage Abominations and around 400 Soldier Stage Abominations.

Shang stopped pulling on that one and focused on another Commander Stage Abomination.

However, 20 General Stage Abominations and 400 Soldier Stage Abominations still steered, but they were different ones.

Now, Shang slowly understood what was going on.

'This is basically a hierarchy or an org chart,' Shang thought. 'If I pull a manager out of an org chart, I will pull all their employees with them.'

That's when Shang realized something else.

'One Abomination is always superior to 20 other Abominations. Then, since I can sense 20 Commander Stage Abominations, it means that this is the army of a True Path Stage Abomination.'

'However, I can't feel the True Path Stage Abomination.'

'I also don't feel any kind of superior connection coming out of the Commander Stage Abominations. It's almost like there is no True Path Stage Abomination superior to them.'

Shang wasn't sure what he should think about that, but he also knew that he probably wouldn't be able to find out the reason.

Because of that, he focused on his plan.

'Seems like I'm forced to summon a total of 421 Abominations if I want to absorb a Commander Stage Abomination.'

'That's a lot of destruction and power. Every single one of them can explode with incredible force. If I were to summon them in a Zone filled with humans, I might end up killing hundreds or thousands of humans.'

Shang felt a pit appear in his stomach when that thought entered his mind.
