Sword God in a World of Magic

Over the next ten years, Shang continued experimenting with the Abominations while also absorbing them.

Surprisingly, being amongst other Abominations while he himself was influenced by an Abomination's will didn't make any difference.

Shang had expected that he would probably feel some kind of connection with the other Abominations while his mindset temporarily emulated all of them, but he didn't feel anything like that.

This told Shang that Abominations were not herd animals or something like that.

Yet, that was actually quite contradictory.

The mindset of an Abomination was filled with hate and the will to destroy. An Abomination wanted to destroy absolutely everything around it, even if it meant that it would die as well.

And yet, they didn't attack each other.

This would make sense if there were some kind of kinship between the Abominations, but there wasn't anything like that.

So, when there was no social connection between them, why didn't their will to destroy also include other Abominations?

In the end, Shang could only guess that the will to destroy everything was only targeted toward anything created with Mana.

Since other Abominations weren't made of Mana, an Abomination wouldn't feel a desire to destroy them, even when attacked by one.

Over the past ten years, Shang had tried many things on the Abominations.

He had tortured them, suppressed them, killed them, and so on.

And yet, no matter what he did, the Abominations never felt anything other than their typical desire to destroy.

That desire didn't even extend to the being that inflicted pain on them.

Shang could order one Abomination to kill another Abomination very slowly, and the other Abomination would continue attacking the wall as if nothing was happening.

Even Shang could attack an Abomination as much as he wanted. The Abomination would never defend itself or try to kill Shang.

It was like they were mindless, but they couldn't be completely mindless since they actually had a desire.

Abominations were very strange.
