The Zouwu had a newfound respect for his Eldritch allies but that didn't mean that he could underestimate the threat posed by someone who could spawn countless Abominations. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

If the killer and his device were a threat to the Council, Lith was a threat to Mogar itself simply by existing.

"I wish." The Tiamat replied with such disappointment in his voice that it was hard to doubt his sincerity. "If that was the case, I would already have an invincible army of creatures that can assimilate the knowledge and powers of my enemies.

"They would be by my side and help me protect everything I care about. My blood is just blood." A snap of Lith's finger hastened his recovery and cleansed the stains on the ground and his armor.

"At least until you infuse it with life force and mana like our enemy did. You don't eat an Abomination. The Abomination eats you."

"Isn't that what happened when your child was conceived? How can your wife be still alive?" Strider pondered.

"My Abomination side was the first I made peace with. It loves Kami as much as I do and would never hurt her. Its consciousness actually reassured me that nothing bad would happen to her.

"Also, she didn't take a part of me. It was willingly offered. She didn't try to take my power for herself. She added something of her own and turned it into something, no, someone new. If you can't tell the difference, I pity you."

For some reason, the last part irked the Zouwu more than the threat of the Abominations born from Lith's fragments.

While everyone recovered, Lith projected holograms of the throne room.

The vines hanging from the ceiling, the bronze basin in which they poured the stolen life essence, and the sophisticated alchemical and Forgemastering devices were depicted in great detail.

"We must stop the minions from collecting more of our blood." Ryka the Titania said. "Judging by how the Redcap arranged the room and the corridors, this isn't something our enemy has prepared to deal with us. It's part of his original plan.

"Giving him our spells and bloodline abilities is already bad. If he really furthered his evolution, there's no telling what he might be able to do. We must destroy our blood the moment we get wounded."

In the throne room, Maergron had just finished rebuilding his body. He was weak, tired, and in desperate need of nutrients. The temple of the Great Mother was filled to the brim with world energy but without direct access to fertile soil, the regenerating abilities of a Fae were limited.

"This isn't over yet." His hands and voice trembled in exhaustion so he needed sheer willpower to not waste a single drop of the blood left in the basin.

With each gulp, he gained the strength of his enemies, their powers, and to a degree, their memories. By the time the Redcap had emptied the basin, he was back to his full strength and knew all of his opponents' weaknesses.

He sensed Strider's hatred for Abominations, and it wouldn't take much to turn the Zouwu against his allies. Maergron had no idea that there actually were also two Eldritches because they shed no blood.

The Redcap could taste Rhuta's ambition and his desire for his talent to be recognized. His frustration for being stuck at the bright blue for centuries while those younger than him surpassed Rhuta every day.

The youth only needed a timely nudge to throw himself at the first opportunity to prove himself.

The Titania was an even easier target. Maergron had underestimated her feelings. Under her cold demeanor, there was a deep fear of losing the person that made her feel more than a power-hungry monster.
