Sword God in a World of Magic

The Lightning Emperor remained silent for a while, and Shang patiently waited for him to speak.

Finally, the Lightning Emperor sighed, accepting the situation. "What's there to do?" he asked with a tone of resignation. "I've known this all along, but I didn't want to face it."

The Lightning Emperor glanced to the side, seemingly lost in thought.

"Anti-Magic doesn't exist. It's merely the power of the Abominations. I should know. Lucius taught me a little about it."

"He taught you?" Shang inquired, sounding somewhat surprised.

The Lightning Emperor nodded. "Yes, he gave each of us a lesson in what he called Anti-Magic. I was the only one who gained anything from it. I learned how to transform Mana into what you call Entropy. Unfortunately, the Mana I use is consumed entirely, and I can only release about 30% of the stored power."

"People know that I killed Adam, but they are unaware of the extent of the destruction I caused. Well, the people there know, but those in the Lightning Manor don't. They aren't aware of the details," the Lightning Emperor explained.

"You can use Entropy?" Shang inquired.

"Entropy?" the Lightning Emperor repeated.

"That's what I call it," Shang clarified. "I need a Mana vacuum to demonstrate."

The Lightning Emperor raised an eyebrow, but he obliged and created a barrier around Shang, pushing all the Mana out.

SHING!

The Lightning Emperor took a deep breath upon seeing a High Abomination appearing beside Shang.

While he had accepted that Shang was the Child of Calamity, witnessing him summon an Abomination was still shocking.

Moreover, the Abomination didn't even act hostile; it simply stood next to Shang obediently.

The Lightning Emperor had never considered himself a villain. He valued honesty and fairness above all else.

However, now he found himself conversing with someone who could control beings destined to destroy the world.
