The Villain's Story

Chapter 873: Communion.

Dragons, God Beasts, and Void spawn can never have a child with each other. This communion is simply impossible. They can have children with other species, like Elves, Dwarves, and others, but they can never have a child with each other.

Many half-breeds exist across the universe, but never of those of the Prime Species. The reason is simple.

Their genes are too powerful, so the Weave does not allow it. The very source of their existence begins to conflict with one another. Dragons are the embodiment of mana; every part of their existence is tightly woven with it.

They cannot have a child with the embodiment of Aura, the energy that rejects mana. Similarly, they cannot have a child with a void spawn, the embodiment of Aether, the energy of the soul.

The universe contains three kinds of energies.

Mana, the fuel of magic, the ability to bring all kinds of phenomena to life. It is the power of the mind and the Dragons. It is the most dominant energy in the Universe, due to the success of the Dragons. It completely rejects Aura.

Aura, the fuel of martial arts, the ability to enhance the physical self to any limit. It is the power of the body and the God Beasts. It is the second most dominant energy in the Universe. It completely rejects mana.

Aether, the fuel of Spirit Arts, the ability to nurture and extinguish. It is the power of the Soul and the Void Spawn. It is the least dominant energy in the Universe, due to the fall of the race that embodies it. However, it does not reject mana or aura as fiercely as the others.

The Void spawn are another Prime Species that has vanished from the face of the universe. They live in a part of the universe isolated from the rest, called the Void. There is only one way to enter the Void, and that is through the House of Death of the Dragons.

They have been erased from all texts, and are a... troublesome species. Only a few void spawns exist out of the Void, and most of those are either in the Abyss or floating around in spaces.

Valusʼs eyes flashed once more as he gazed at Alan squirming on the ground. His body cracked like glass and repaired itself, but the boy wasnʼt in any pain. His body, mind, and soul had shut down. He was in the midst of a metamorphosis, as the genetic factors of the three prime species were awakening.

The Seal James had placed on him limited his genetic traits, those of his God Beast and Void Spawn side. It completely stopped the Void Spawn traits, as his soul was too young, and slowly implemented his God Beast traits. It was why he had seen such monstrous physical growth.

And why had he awakened the aura? Alan didnʼt awaken Aura due to his bloodline, but rather because he already possessed the body to possess the purest aura. It simply didnʼt inhabit his body because there was too much mana. Although his bloodline did help in stabilizing it.

When Alan reached a state where there was no mana, the dormant gift of a God Beast awakened, filling his body with vitality and giving birth to his aura. Initially, Alan was supposed to awaken the less hostile energy known as Aether first, but Sabrinaʼs finding the spatial coordinates to Gigantium led to him developing an aura first. He would develop the

Currently, Alan was in the process of developing his traits as a Void Spawn; he had already given birth to Aether, and Valus could see that as clear as day.

However, he was currently in the process of assimilating it, making peace with the energy. Now, how was this possible? How was this harmony between the three energies made possible?

How did James manage to do it? It wasnʼt the hardest thing to do, really. It was harder to make Alan capable of possessing the energies than it was to make them live in harmony.

Mana and aura will absolutely not tolerate one another; Aether will tolerate either for some time. When the patience ends, it begins to fight back. All of them begin to fight back. Itʼs a constant struggle between the three energies to determine who gets to exist.

However, this fight is dangerous for the host, extremely dangerous. The body begins to break down; it begins to destroy itself. Alanʼs healing factor, however, delays this process for as long as possible, until finally.

The Weave itself takes notice of the abnormality. The Weave forbids the three energies from coexisting in one body, and therefore tries to find a solution. The only issue with this is that to do so, it must begin to change or rewrite Alanʼs existence.

Any action that poses a threat to the existence of Alan Peccator in any sort of way triggers [Dominatus], Alanʼs unique skill to activate. However, [Dominatus], in its young state, cannot combat the Weave. No matter how much it tries to do so, it cannot compete against the entirety of the Weave.

When confronted by such an impossible task, [Dominatus] instead opts for the easier option. Instead of acting upon the Weave, the skill acts upon the source of the issue. The three energies that are causing the Weave to take notice. Dominatus acts upon Mana, Aura, and Aether.

Instead of combating the Weave and attempting to change its rules, the rules of the entire universe, [Dominatus] changes Mana, Aura, and Aether in such a way that they do not combat each other actively. It designates specific areas, the ones most suited for the specific energies, and causes them to enter a dormant state.

For Mana, it is the Dragon heart. For Aura, it is divided equally between the Solar Plexus and the Lower Dantian. For Aether, it is situated in Alanʼs Soul Sea and his Soul Core.

However, due to [Dominatus], this is relatively easy. Creating some form of harmony among the three energies is the easy part. The hard part was actually creating an organism capable of producing all three energies. How did James manage to do that?
