The Human Giant



Eventually, Yoze shook his head and decided to not kill Blood Master Steel just yet. He felt that the benefits of killing Blood Master Steel were not as great as the cons.

For example, while he would get his body and be able to copy his talents he would lose the opportunity to ask him where he had gotten his blood heart. From the description of the Blood Heart talent, it didn't sound like Blood Master Steel was the abnormality nor was the blood heart.

That meant the abnormal entity that implanted Blood Master Steel's blood heart in his body was still running amuck in the world. Losing the chance to be able to find that abnormal entity would be a huge loss.

As there was a good chance he could get incredibly rare and mystical talents on the same level as Spiritual energy talents. Just his sole encounter with one abnormal entity like the Undead Baby had given him a great talent such as his Life Attraction talent.

Even though he only had a grade 4 in his Life Attraction talent it still played a very valuable part in his strength. Not only did it allow him to have great endurance and stamina but it made it harder for him to die compared to regular humans.

The most important thing was that he had gotten his Life Attraction talent from the undead zombies that the Undead Baby had accidentally created when it tried to come back to life, not the Undead Baby itself. 

Just imagining what kind of talents he could get from another unnatural event made Yoze drool. He especially looked forward to finding the abnormal entity that seemed to have enough awareness to implant a blood heart into a host. 

That meant the abnormal entity might have been aware enough to know it had talents, talents that Yoze's cheat should be able to copy. Just thinking about having the talents of an abnormal entity made Yoze lick his lips in anticipation.

"Uh,"

Hearing a painful groan come from Blood Master Steel, Yoze turned his attention toward him. Seeing that Blood Master Steel had regained control of himself, Yoze temporarily put away his plan to use his spiritual energy to suppress Blood Master Steel.

"Are you feeling better? That abnormal entity is not controlling you right?" Yoze said with a calm expression on his face.

"What!?" Blood Master Steel's face looked at Yoze with shock before he realized that he had just exposed himself.

"How do you know I was being controlled by an abnormal entity?" Regaining his composure Blood Master Steel stood up from the ground and asked Yoze.

"As someone who has dealt with an abnormal entity before it isn't too difficult to figure out when you transformed into its reincarnation." Yoze continued talking as he tried his best to make it look like he knew what he was talking about.

"..." 

Even though Blood Master Steel stayed silent Yoze could see that a whirlwind of questions popped into his head but since Blood Master Steel didn't outright deny his claim meant he believed him somewhat.

"What do you mean you dealt with an abnormal entity before?" Eventually, Blood Master Steel asked another question trying his best to get more information from Yoze.

"It's quite simple. I had fought and killed an abnormal entity known as the Undead Baby. As you can guess this abnormal entity was a baby that tried to come back to life and as a result, it ended up wiping out an entire town."

"Not only did it wipe out the entire town but it had transformed them into undead zombies that could easily kill living creatures with a single touch."

"Before you ask, I think you would want to know why I am so confident that the abnormal entity you encountered is trying to turn you into its reincarnation, right?" Yoze smiled as he gave all the information that Blood Master Steel wanted.

Blood Master Steel nodded his head telling Yoze to continue.

"That is also simple, abnormal entities or unnatural events are things that break or attempt to break the laws of this world. And the most common attempt is to break the barrier between life and death."

"The Undead Baby tried to break the barrier between life and death itself but other abnormal entries try more clever ways to undermine the world rules. One of the ways is for these abnormal entities to try to reincarnate through the body of another person." Yoze calmly said to Blood Master Steel telling a mixture of lies and his own assumptions.

Yoze only told Blood Master Steel things that made sense and someone could logically follow. For example, it made sense for creatures to desire to come back to life after they die.

There were also plenty of sources from books and history that talked about undead monsters like zombies. So it wasn't hard to assume that abnormal entities would too want to break the law of life and death. 

However, Yoze straight up lied saying that reincarnation was a common path for abnormal entries to take to undermine world rules because he had no experience if this was true. He also didn't know if the abnormal entity that had given Blood Master Steel his blood heart even wanted to come back to life.

But seeing Blood Master Steel not challenge his claim gave Yoze the sense that he still believed him. Because what he said didn't sound wrong and couldn't be proven to be wrong.

"Why are you telling me all this?" After staying silent for a few seconds to digest all the information Yoze had told him, Blood Master Steel couldn't help but feel suspicious at why Yoze was helping him so much.

"I will be honest with you, I am telling you all this because I want to convince you to team up with me to kill that abnormal entity." 

"What do you gain from this?" 

"Peace of mind that your abnormal entity is not going to suddenly appear in front of me one day and take my heart," Yoze said with a weary smile.
