Mixed Blessing System



"Abomination!" One of the strongest members of the Ancestral Folk cried out to Lothur as he felt the intense pain of having part of his elements stolen by the enemy.

According to ancient legends, it was possible to create life after reaching the 5th stage and fulfilling certain conditions. However, this life would be almost 100% without a soul, just the outer carcass.

A being created in this way would do things that someone with a soul would never do, which was terrible for the world as a whole.

If told to kill, such a being would do so indiscriminately. It wouldn't look at babies and think about sparing them. It would think only of fulfilling its given mission, and it would kill everyone in its path.

But apart from being incomplete in this sense, these creations were perfectly compatible with living beings similar to them in the sense of reproduction. Thus, an age-old question arose: what would result from the reproduction of an artificially created being and a naturally born being?

These creations could reproduce with natural beings, which made everything problematic, as they could easily mix their characteristics with those of other races, leading to unimaginable problems.

There were countless negative implications to this subject, and that's why the Sages had not created life since ancient times.

That was considered a huge taboo!

But Lothur had created two little creatures as soon as he could, not hesitating to bring two abominations into the world.

Those kittens beside him were not normal! As cute and small as they were, they had fantastical powers that newly created beings shouldn't have!

Humans had to grow up and endure many challenges before they reached the point where they would be as strong as Sages. Power didn't come to them without a lot of effort and learning opportunities.

But these two creatures were already born with power, even though they hadn't had any effort or chance to learn the ways of this world.

As a result, even Lothur's dinosaur ally couldn't help but stare in awe at the two little fur balls.

But while these creatures stared at him, Lothur quickly imparted some of his knowledge to them, something any Sage could do with a mere touch.

As he did so, Lothur told them both. "Eliminate my enemies."

With this command from their creator, the two didn't hesitate to move. They crossed the space so quickly that the three creatures who had just attacked Lothur didn't see the two kittens appearing on their backs.

As they were startled to see the speed of these monstrous creatures, the kittens' eyes changed, and they looked at those three so coldly that they could feel a chill in their souls.

But these little creatures weren't just watching. As Lothur's creations, they had some of his traits to a lesser degree.

Sharing some of the Life Devourer but also the Black Flames, these creatures had been born with a special ability, the Soul Eater.

When they appeared behind their creator's targets, they looked directly at the essence of those three individuals and saw a bright pile of different colors floating around their bodies.

They subtly opened their small mouths and licked their lips, their mouths drooling.

'You shouldn't have acted against our creator!' One of them said in his target's mind, making him look even more terrified.

Gulp!

'Can they think? Not only that, but can they transmit their thoughts?' The Ancestral Folk member looked at the creature that turned into a trail of light as it flew toward him, feeling helpless in front of the kitten.

The legends said that these creatures were incapable of thinking... But Lothur's creations were clearly capable of it!

What did that mean? Were they even worse than the abominations described in the legends? Or were they not?

Whether it was a good thing, it was something these beings didn't have to worry about. Being attacked so quickly by those kittens, two felt their chests pierced.

But instead of blood, they realized they were losing something else.

It was their soul!

By losing blood, one would gradually lose consciousness. But by losing parts of their soul, they would not only be unable to move, but they would also see everything happening while feeling as if someone was devouring them bit by bit.

It was the worst feeling a living being could feel, something that two of these individuals had to deal with quickly in their last moments in this world.

Lothur's creations were one level weaker than him. However, with their special characteristics and weakened enemies, they managed to kill two of the first three targets in a matter of seconds.

Seeing this while using his visual ability, Lothur understood a little more about these creatures while smiling at his opponents' mistakes.

Aside from seeing that these creatures had a little bit of each of his abilities, Lothur also noticed that although the creatures his creations were concerned about didn't have souls, they had that part within them.

Their souls were small, like the souls of babies, but they were in their bodies!

Not only that, as they devoured the souls of those Ancestral Folk people, their souls slowly grew stronger, increasing in size, brightness, color type, and so on.

'Incredible! They have a whole new power, but it's obviously mainly derived from two of my abilities...

But their eyes can also see things that mine can, and their bodies are very refined.

It seems that when I create life, I can create new abilities with different 'blends' of my abilities.' He watched them exterminate the third and fourth targets and felt that he could use his new ability, Miracle of Life, to create a variety of 'weapons' and vary how much of his powers would be inherited by each.

Thinking about how useful this could be for him to use against the many enemies he had on the continent, he carefully watched the actions of the two kittens while smiling.

Meanwhile, the two cats killed the last of the five members of the Ancestral Folk who had followed their creator earlier, ending this incident while being strangely watched by their creator's women and also the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Gulp!

"This shouldn't have happened!" Cykad couldn't stand the silence any longer and said it out loud, fearing not only for these creatures but the entire Ancestral Folk tribe.

"Yes, but they attacked us first. If they had chased us, they would have seen what Lothur is sooner or later." Elke commented, feeling that they didn't have much of a choice.

It had to happen sooner or later!
