Vampire: World of Blood-Chapter 116: The Aspect of Nothingness

As Merciless sat upon Exile’s head, she moved with grace throughout the Mansion Dimension Borrowing through walls, and different floors, meanwhile on the other hand Merciless himself began to experiment.

He was utterly engrossed with his own existence at this particular moment, as black blood began to rise from his hands and escape from his pores, floating in the air. After all, after properly assimilating with the Unwoven, he was endowed with knowledge by the great Primordial Mother.

One of the many names, given to the Unwoven who knew of her being, naturally it was either this, the Unwoven, or the Source.

Aside from that, Merciless was exceedingly pleased. For the simple reason that his new aspect of nothingness projected in a wholly organic manner, he did not need to adjust his combat style; in fact, his newly acquired aspect of nothingness improved it.

"Man don’t you just love it when you got new toys to play with?"

Merciless muttered to no one but himself as his null blood began to morph into a ball of pure solar energy, a small sun, and that sun changed into a butterfly, which changed into a mini Tagmar, his entire being was formed of 100% Aether while simultaneously being totally biological.

He then made it into another sun, but this time the flames were miasma. And from those flames, a little solar storm began to arise, with black tornadoes swirling around, but suddenly the impossible happened: the tornadoes formed by the black sun became purple while the sun remained dark.

This was the outcome of Miasma and Negativity energy merging into one, two incompatible energies operating as one, Miasma being an energy of antithesis, and energy that can cancel out anything if one’s control and potency over it is greater than the opposing.

Miasma energy even works on racial traits, special abilities, physical attacks, notions, and curses; it did not matter because it was genuinely an anthesis at heart. Naturally, the negative energy working in harmony with it was supposed to diminish to nothing, which is why miasma and any other energy type couldn’t fuse.

And yet, Merciless did the impossible at that moment; he had no idea why or how he could do it, but he was acutely aware of it in his dream. However, many details were foggy; upon awakening, he only knew the bare minimum of these newly acquired abilities.

One of these was Convergence, a power he had unknowingly been born with, but why he had it made him wonder if it had anything to do with the Morgan family. Regardless, Convergence allowed him to make things work in harmony, even when they shouldn’t. It was the reason why Miasma and Negativity, two opposing forces, could merge seamlessly under his control.

Another was Aspect Sensing, a new ability that enabled him to determine whether something or someone embodied an idea or had an aspect. With this power, he could even detect Chaos Sources, assess their potency, and evaluate whether he could take them on from the start, essentially a gauge for determining how dangerous something is.

This new skill provided him with a comprehensive understanding of his surroundings, allowing him to discern potential threats or opportunities at a glance.

Last but not least, his Aspect of Nothingness granted him another devastating ability: Nothingness Manipulation. With this, he could remove, create, and recreate things from existence, as long as they were of inferior quality and of the same source.

He could even self-resurrect, using his vast comprehension of himself to rebuild his being if he died. However, he discovered something pretty complex: vampires were beings of chaos. He could erase the lesser ones, but the stronger ones were difficult to erase.

Although some applications of this power remained limited, for example, when he initially gained this power, the first thing he wanted to do was resurrect Carmilla, but this was impossible because he would need to transcend to a higher realm. According to the minimal information supplied to him by the Unwoven, realm 15 is specifically mentioned. And if it were true, he would have to go to realm 15 and take her soul from the God she worships within his fruit.

But that wasn’t the problem; nothingness manipulation was quite limited in general in this fruit, simply because totality as he knows it is contaminated by Chaos. He hoped that via Convergence, he would eventually reclaim what was properly his.

"Sigh, new power, but so limited. It appears that if I desire more freedom, I must become a higher entity of chaos. But, aside from that, let us focus on a more vital matter: I currently have 19 kills, which is 190 points in total because each head is worth 10 points."

"I recovered the DNA from 14 of the 19 fatalities, while the remaining 4 were entirely disintegrated simply because I was rushing due to time constraints. When Exile moved, they were unlucky enough to get within range of my Crimson Dawn, at which point I shapeshifted them into literal air itself, killing them in the process."

"This was so easy because their EP was so small and inadequate that I am confident I could have killed them with anything in my armory, like come on! Who in their right mind is stupid enough to allow mere intermediate vampires into this exam?"

Merciless asked himself, his tone dripping with disdain. He could almost laugh at how absurd it all was. Yet, despite the trivial nature of his opponents, the abilities he had harvested from them intrigued him.

"Well they are not the strongest since most of those kills were from weaklings and also mere human-turn vampires, Zakcry power being one of the more overpowered ones, a pity I get them at their weakest, well no biggy I guess."

"For instance...

Merciless said as he began to recap his new abilities.

Merciless’ "Whispering Roots" ability allows him to summon and control thick, old roots from the ground. These roots are extremely receptive to his directions and can be utilized in a variety of ways. For example, they can grow quickly and intertwine to form barriers or defensive structures, or they can extend outward to attack enemies like whips.

Furthermore, these roots contain the memories of old trees, allowing Merciless to access their wisdom and use it to navigate complex situations such as a maze, or complex terrain with plant life as a whole. The ability combines physical manipulation with a type of organic memory access, making it useful for both battle and exploration.

Next came Glass Veil, a fragile but versatile power. With this Merciless could conjure a thin, transparent barrier around himself, bending the light in such a way that he became nearly invisible.

The barrier wasn’t strong enough to block a serious attack, but it was perfect for creating illusions or slipping past an unsuspecting foe.

Next on the list was Sonic Snare. A high-pitched sound that can disrupt equilibrium, the sound waves were nearly inaudible to ears, but the effects are devastating. The frequency disrupted equilibrium, causing dizziness and disorientation in anyone caught within its range. It was a subtle weapon, one that could incapacitate without drawing much attention.

From there Merciless began to text Gloomstride next to Exile’s head, stepping into his own shadow and feeling his form meld with the darkness. Moving through the shadowy void was like swimming in a pool of ink, smooth and silent. He emerged from Exile’s head to her tail as he looked up to see her massive tail making a large shadow on the ground. From there he went back to her head.

Scourge of Rust proved particularly amusing. With a simple gesture, Merciless watched as a nearby metal structure in the mansion began to corrode, rusting away until it crumbled to dust. The power to reduce any metallic object to dust, was devasting power, especially against those who relied too heavily on their armor or weapons. However, it is limited ot his sight.

The most curious of his new abilities was Mind Thread. It allowed him to form a delicate mental link with another being, although he had to look at them for 1 minute straight, without taking their eyes off them. By doing this he established a link that would allow him to nudge the target’s thoughts in a desired direction. The link was subtle, not as overt as mind control, but it offered a way to influence without drawing suspicion.

His hand brushed against the cold stone wall, and with a simple touch, Frostbite Kiss took hold. The stone turned brittle and cold, ice crystals forming along the surface. A lesser being’s flesh would freeze and shatter at his touch—a useful tool in close combat.

With a stomp on the ground and once again cam off of Exhiles head, Shatterstep was activated. The ground beneath him fractured, sending shockwaves rippling through the floor. The unstable terrain would easily trip up any pursuing enemies or could be used to create barriers in a pinch.

A faint rhythmic pulse emanated from his core as he tried Faint Pulse. It wasn’t powerful enough to cause any real destruction, but it made nearby electronic devices flicker and fail. A minor annoyance to his enemies, but it could prove invaluable in the right circumstances.

Iron Lung came into play next. Merciless inhaled deeply, his lungs adapting to filter out toxins and poisons from the air, there was of course none, but he made some to demonstrate it. He even expelled a cloud of noxious fumes, creating a temporary poisonous barrier around himself. It would make him nearly impossible to suffocate or poison—a useful defense in hostile environments.

Finally, he conjured a small, ghostly light, testing out Wraith Lantern. The eerie glow revealed hidden paths and invisible objects within the Mansion Dimension. It can even cause nearby ethereal entities to falter. The lantern would be an invaluable tool for dealing with spirits and other unseen threats.

But for now, they were simply tools—pieces of a much larger puzzle that only he could complete in his own way on a different evolutionary path.

"These new powers are good, however, they are weak compared to Helena, and Zakcry ichor, but overall im satisfied with them for now."

Said Merciless, however at that moment, a notification popped up in front of him.
