Reincarnated as a World

Ch.170 ASSIMILATE! DEVOUR!

(Slime Abomination POV)

“AAARRRRGGGHH!” The Slime Abomination continued to roar as it had been doing all this time. Agony still a living current coursing through its every cell.

‘I WILL NOT DIE!’ the Slime Abomination inwardly roared, something that it had been unable to do just a few minutes ago.

Originally, when the Tribulations had first begun, the Slime Abomination had not possessed the ability to think. After all, it had been relying on its multiple brains to possess a semblance of a mind, so when those were all simultaneously fried, naturally, the pseudo-mind that it had been granted with had also combusted.

However, not that long ago, the System had suddenly congratulated it for the feat of obtaining a Soul, a Chaos Soul at that. Something that whilst initially confusing, soon became a source of great wonder when it swiftly realised that it was once again capable of even feeling confused in the first place. This so-called Soul had returned its metaphysical capabilities and more.

In the beginning it was quite bad. The Slime Abomination could only think one stream of thought at a time and it was slow, but as time passed and the Soul that it could now feel as closely as its body began to grow, the Soul’s capabilities rapidly began to expand. Opening numerous parallel thought streams were once again possible, but to an even greater extent, and thought processing speed was much greater than before. Simply outstanding, but what was a cause of slight confusion were the new emotions that it was rapidly experiencing.

A few of them being the boiling rage and insufferable humiliation.

What it was currently undergoing was nothing other than unjust. Yes, it now knew what justice was. Something that quickly became infuriating considering the fact that the concept had completely abandoned the Slime Abomination.

These so-called Tribulation Lights that the System had said were supposed to temper its being, were clearly trying to accomplish something else, and that something else was destruction. The Tribulation Lights clearly wanted nothing other than the Slime Abomination’s end, and it could feel it.

Why else would it be powered up 2 more times? Why else would it nullify each and every bone of survival that the Slime Abomination had managed to grasp on? Hm?

…It’s because the Tribulations were UNJUST! Everything about the Tribulation Lights and all that they stood for were UNJUST! Not only did they want the Slime Abomination’s death, but they also wanted to remove it from existence as well. The Slime Abomination had felt the threat of nihility just over 10 before and would never forget it.

But unfortunately for the Tribulations, they had underestimated it. They had messed with the wrong Slime!

Just as the Slime Abomination could sense its impending Doom, it could also sense a great incoming boon. It seemed that even if the Tribulations were unjust, the laws of this world were not! Something great was coming and the Slime Abomination was going to grasp it like it had never grasped anything before. It would NOT ALLOW ITSELF TO DIE!

IT WOULD DEVOUR THE TRIBULATIONS AND FEAST ON EVERY LAST BIT OF IT FIRST! EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!!!

“ROOOOOOOOOOAAARRRRRRR!!!” The Slime Abomination roared out with fury and a sudden infliction of crazed hunger. And then finally, something changed. Something above, something possessing unbelievable yet familiar power, was rushing to meet it. The Slime Abomination could not see it (because it had lost the ability to see after the first Tribulation Light) but it could instantly tell that this was the boon. This was the thing that was destined to save it!

‘IT’S HERE! YES! YES! BE DEVOURED BY ME AND BECOME MY STRENGTH!’ The Slime Abomination crazily roared as powerful instincts within itself began to steer its actions to do one thing.

ASSIMILATE! DEVOUR!

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

An explosion resounded throughout the forest as the boon slammed into the Slime Abomination. Almost immediately, the Slime Abomination was able to recognize the boon as some kind of complex symbol that possessed boundless energy. But instead of feeling any pain from the impact, the Slime Abomination only felt pleasure as the strange yet familiar essence quickly began to seep into its pores. There was also a lot of information about what it was unfolding within its mind and the Slime Abomination began to feel elation.

‘Hahahaha! Yes! More! More! So good! Too good! What is this feeling?!’ The Slime Abomination inwardly babbled as it felt joy for the first time. It had been chosen by the Sin of Gluttony! How could it not feel joy!

‘MORE!’

Feeling ravenous for the energy it now recognized as Gluttony Essence, and also pressed for time, the Slime Abomination instinctively activated the precious skill that carried it to where it was today. [ASSIMILATE!]

WUM!

As every part of the Abomination’s body began to release a suctioning air, the Slime Abomination felt a sudden increase of pressure as the Gluttony Essence forced its way into its body even faster.

The Slime Abomination revelled in the feeling of joy as it rapidly felt its powers increasing, the very nature of its body changing as the multiple evolutions began to fuse into one, promising untold power if it managed to survive. But then all of a sudden, a voice that it would never forget began to speak directly into its mind.

=Do not forget that you are still within the grip of death, Child. If you wish to survive the final Tribulation Light, you must guide all of the remaining Gluttony Essence into your Soul.=

‘It’s him!’ The Slime Abomination thought with a flash of fear. But then all of a sudden, it registered what was said and didn’t like what was being said at all.

‘I am NOT a child. I am 172 years old and there is no other lifeform on this Continent older than I. You must respect that.’

=...= Golden eyed Man

‘...’ Slime Abomination

=...= Golden eyed Man

‘...’ Slime Abomination

Just when the Slime Abomination was about to become confused, it suddenly felt a very familiar threat of doom, and all the brand-new feelings of shame, indignation and the desire for respect that drove it to say those things, fled. Soul-deep fear replacing it and talking all the space.

The dangerous feeling only lasted for a split second, but it was enough to teach it several lessons.

=Just hurry up and direct the Essence of Gluttony to your Soul. You will need to do that if you have any hope of Survival.= Came the voice of the Golden eyed Man once more.

Not daring to resist, the Slime Abomination hastily complied.
