Chapter 902 Predator Versus Predator Part 2

"That’s not the only thing that should be on the order of business. There’s also the problem of the blood madness that Returner Abominations like me are experiencing." Bytra said.

The 4th Ruler of the Flames was among the clones that had absorbed their original counterparts, giving them a fresh start at life. Returners, however, would start as pure beings, with only the memories belonging to their life as Awakened.

Over time, they would remember all the atrocities they had committed and the pain that they had endured after turning into Abominations. It caused them psychotic breaks at random intervals that had cost the Organization many missions and even more casualties.

Every slaughter ended up having too many witnesses to kill them all, and by reporting the Abomination’s location, their enemies had been able to unravel what the Organization was working on.

Because of that carrying out the next steps of the Master’s plan was not much more difficult.

"Last, but not least. We must discuss the issue of the Returners that didn’t join our ranks. They know too much. It’s enough for one of them to be captured or be willing to side with our enemies to expose our location and long-term goals." Tezka said.

After Lith had killed his clone, the Master had performed the procedure again, turning Tezka into a Warg-Abomination hybrid. Losing his prized artifact, Endless Night, was worth the power he had gained in return. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

On top of that, Bytra had already Forgemastered him a much better piece.

She was the rising star of the Organization, and everyone groveled at her feet to get in her good graces or have something crafted. She had already updated all of her Forgemastering techniques, reaching an unparalleled level of skill.

Bytra was one of the reasons why the Council was tempted to offer Abominations a seat. She was the only living Ruler of the Flames and her creations dwarfed ancient powerful artifacts.

Bytra was the only one who could recreate an outdated enchanted item with modern techniques, giving it new life. The Master and Xenagrosh were the only ones who had her unconditional love.

The Master had taken her in as a daughter, providing her with all the materials and books she could dream of. The Master had even predicted the risks of blood madness and had treated her the moment the first symptoms appeared.

Xenagrosh, instead, was her only true friend and partner. Original Abominations considered Returners as usurpers, while Returners deemed Originals as heartless monsters.

The Master had a hard time bridging between the two factions, but luckily, Bytra and her relationship with Xenagrosh helped him to find a way to make things work out.

Xenagrosh was the one who had brought Bytra back in the fold and with her Origin Flames, she was the crucial ingredient in all Forgemastering experiments. The two of them were the living proof that nothing separated Originals from Returners except their own prejudices.

"Last my Chaos ass!" Abthot roared. "As the representative of Eldritch Abominations, I demand to know what’s the status of the research to make us evolve as well."

The Master sighed in stress. Between living their own human life and keeping all those powerful creatures in check was a mammoth task.

’I would love to rub his nose on the fact that they were the ones who refused to take part in the clone experiment, but the situation is already tense as it is. Between the lack of food and their personal agenda, regular Abomination are on the verge of mutiny

’I wish I was in a bard’s tale where the hero always has followers who are blindly loyal to him, ready to throw away their lives and ambitions for no good reason.
