Born in Blood

Chaoter 507  Sumo, Meathead, Hollow

Squirrel Meathead made a hole in the wall, even though it was covered in protective inscriptions made by Jane and Jax.

It was just a tiny squirrel-sized hole.

But it was still a powerful and compact explosion.

'Wow,' Liam thought, amazed. White Matter really was a beautiful thing. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Once more, Liam repeated the process.

With his left hand, he used Chaos, and with his right, he used White Matter.

Then, he merged them.

Except, now, the two forces were much bigger in size and power.

As they merged, the wet sounds continued for much longer than before. Quite frankly, it sounded pretty disgusting and dirty, like a continuous spew of vomit.

But finally, it stopped, and another Chaos Abomination had formed.

Except, this one was the same size as Liam.

It looked at Liam with a blank, empty look on its face.

It was empty inside.

In reality, they were just puppets.

They weren't alive at all.

They had no soul.

They were White Matter and Chaos mixed together.

A moment later, Liam made two more copies of the same Abomination, but with different amounts of White Matter and Chaos.

For one, he put more Chaos in it than White Matter.

And for the other, he put more White Matter than he did Chaos.

All three results were not the same.

The first Chaos Abomination Liam made was balanced. It looked the most normal, and had the most balanced characteristics. It was 1.7 meter tall, muscular, and had a powerful mass of Chaos in the hollow part of his chest.

Not too much, not to less. The middle path.

The second one, with which Liam used more White Matter than Chaos, was… a little different.

The hollowness of its chest was still there. However, the Abomination was… very large and a little short. Its arms were as thick as a Sumo wrestler's, and so was its thighs and legs.

It was… fat.

Also, its skin was a little darker compared to the balanced Abomination.

However, that wasn't to say it wasn't muscular.

In fact, it was very much so!

Bodybuilders and Sumo had some of the highest, raw physical power a human could produce.

This was realms beyond that.

In fact, it was almost three times as strong as the balanced Chaos Abomination.

But the hollowness that contained its chaos was actually in its solar plexus, and not in its stomach where it usually was. Plus, it was a very, very small amount of Chaos. Liam was pretty sure that, alone by itself, the explosion caused by that mass of Chaos would do absolutely nothing.

However… that didn't mean the Abomination was useless.

Quite the contrary.

Since it had more White Matter than Chaos, the White Matter had converted into pure muscle and strength.

Liam could think of several uses of this Meathead v2.0 straight away.

And not just as a meatshield, either. Just like Liam gave Meathead, the balanced Abomination, a name, Liam did the same with this one.

Sumo, he named it.

Then, there was the third Abomination. For this one, Liam used more Chaos than White Matter, and the results were… predictable.

Between balance, there were two extremes. Unlike Sumo, which was fat with muscle but low on Chaos, the third Abomination was incredibly skinny and slim.

Not only that, but its skin was also red, compared to the darker tones of the other two.

However, it was not anorexic or emaciated. But in a physical fight?

It would lose ten out of ten times.

However, that wasn't the distinct feature it had.

The hollowness of its chest was massive!

It basically had no chest, stomach or abdomen.

And it was filled with a dense blaze of surging Chaos!

More so, its eyes, skin and the rest of its body crackled with wild sparks of Chaos.

It was literally overflowing with it. So much so, that it honestly looked like it was ready to explode at any time.

But it didn't.

Somehow, White Matter managed to exaggerate Liam's Chaos and utilize it in awe-inducing ways. Liam thought of a name. Hollow.

So, in short, it was Meathead, the balanced — Sumo, heavy on White Matter, and Hollow, heavy on Chaos.

"Alright," Liam said to the three Abominations, which he controlled mentally. "Let's see what you three could do."

Starting with Sumo, Liam ordered it to charge straight at him! BOM! BOM! BOM! BOM!

Each step Sumo took towards Liam made the room shake and rumble. BOOM!

Sumo shoulder bashed Liam with a mighty force. A few bones in Liam's body cracked, then repaired almost instantly. Of course, Liam didn't defend against the attack at all. In fact, he loosened his body to see the extent of the Abomination's power. BANG!

Liam smashed against a bookshelf in his room, a stack of books and papers piling over him as he fell over, limp.

A moment later, Liam rose to his feet and dusted himself off. "Nice," Liam said, looking at Sumo with a slight smile. "You're clearly not weak."

"Stronger than the average Zenith, but you lack maneuverability and grace. People could easily sidestep your charge, you know?"

Silence.

Sumo shrugged. Of course, it was Liam who was controlling it…but as it turned out, his subconscious imagined the Abomination shrugging, so it did. Liam didn't know how long the Abomination could last. However… his Pearl wasn't regenerating back the Chaos and White Matter he had expended. Liam raised his brows. He didn't know for sure, but did that mean that Liam's Chaos, Corruption and White Matter reserves wouldn't replenish until the Abomination had died?

That was… both a good thing and a bad thing! "Well, Sumo," Liam told the Abomination, who perked up with a slight smile. "Time to die."

Liam flicked up his Black Blade, and in one swift, fluid motion, Liam severed the Abomination down from nape to hip, killing it. Sumo fell down with a loud thud, a streak of red blood staining Liam's floor. However, almost instantly, Sumo began melting into thin air, including the streak of blood.

Also, the tiny mass of Chaos exploded, which… was a little anticlimactic, all things considered.

However, as the two process took place… Liam's Pearl began regenerating its White Matter and Chaos.
