Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang's answer came almost immediately.

"Not really," he said. "We never really talked about the Child of Calamity. The few times we talked, we talked about my power and warriors. Could be that he may have mentioned it at some point, but I'm not really sure."

The Lightning Emperor only sighed.

Shang was telling the truth.

Shang honestly wasn't sure if the God had actually ever uttered the phrase Child of Calamity.

In fact, the only time Shang remembered talking about something related to that was when he had found out about his Entropy Affinity, and even then, the Abominations hadn't really been a topic.

It was less of a what and more of a why.

The God didn't tell Shang anything about what the Child of Calamity was, and Shang never asked about it.

He only wanted to know why he got the Entropy Affinity.

So, yeah, the two of them hadn't really talked about the Child of Calamity.

"Has he mentioned anything about why the Child of Calamity exists?" the Lightning Emperor asked.

Shang just wordlessly shook his head.

"Did he tell you where they are?"

Shang shook his head again.

At that point, the Lightning Emperor sighed again and looked to the side with a complicated expression.

"Lucius is dead, there's some unknown and crazy God ruling over this world, and we still don't know where the Child of Calamity is," he said. It was unknown if he talked to Shang or to himself.

"This is a lot to process."

In the Lightning Emperor's mind, many scenes and concepts appeared and disappeared at unreal speeds.

He was trying to think of a way the God had shown himself that didn't involve Shang.

"Can he manipulate minds?" the Lightning Emperor asked.

"Most likely, but I think he would view that as cheating," Shang answered. "It would be boring if he could just make everything play out however he wants. Otherwise, he would have probably just killed all the Emperors and Kings."
