Nolan woke up groggy with a splitting headache. It took him a while to come to his senses and once he did, he realised that he was in a dark space and when he looked at the carpet, he remembered just where he was.
|You're finally awake, I thought it would take longer. How do you feel?| sounded a hoarse man's voice. Nolan looked up and saw what he could only describe as gigantic if it could even be called that. The giant of a man was sitting cross legged in front of him. He had reddish black exoskeleton skin and wore an old robe.
Compared to this man, Nolan was literally the size of an ant and this man the size of an adult man. Nolan suddenly floated in the air and landed on one of the man's palm that was absolutely massive. While Nolan looked at the man, the man was looking back with his planet sized crimson eyes.
Nolan would have thought that the man was human if not for the antennae on his forehead and pincer-like mandibles for a mouth. He looked like a hybrid between a human and an ant and not just any ant but the bullet ant back on Earth.
|Not bad. It's rare for a human to have such a thick Killing Aura and not be affected mentally by it. But your method of utilising it is flawed, since this is considered our first meeting, I'll impart to you the knowledge of the Killing Scripture, it will depend on you how many volumes you comprehend.|
Said the man as he started speaking in a language Nolan didn't know but could understand. Information went directly into his mind and his splitting headache disappeared. Nolan quickly sat cross legged and absorbed the information.
As Nolan lost himself in the Killing Scripture, something was happening to him or rather his Killing Aura. Half of his Killing Aura had already turned into a liquid form but Nolan had so much Killing Aura that the conversion wasn't balanced. And now, as the Killing Scripture filled his mind, the Killing Aura was turning into a liquid at a faster rate than before.
This went on until all the Killing Aura had turned into a liquid which meant that it had turned into Killing Intent. Nolan's Killing Intent was like a massive black ocean, causing big waves within his consciousness.
The black ocean of Killing Intent churned, creating tsunamis and big waves. The black ocean began to shrink as it solidified.
BOOM!
Black energy burst out from Nolan's body and spread outwards but an external force seemed to trap it in place, refusing to allow outside a radius of a hundred meters. The Killing Intent continued to coalesce until it formed a small reddish black crystal. This crystal continued to solidify until it became a big crystal and with this, Nolan had achieved the Killing Energy Phase.
But even with this, it still wasn't over. It seemed Nolan's years of accumulating Killing Aura was about to reveal its rewards with interest. His understanding of Killing Aura, Killing Intent and Killing Energy fused into a single small bubble that entered the crystallised Killing Energy.

When the small bubble entered the crystallised Killing Energy, the crystal then vibrated incessantly as it shrunk like something was devouring it from inside. Currently, the crystal was as big as a small mountain, hundreds of metres big but whatever that was deciding it from inside was doing a good job because it was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It didn't take long for whatever was devouring the crystallised Killing Energy to finish the job and reveal itself. It was the small bubble that was now completely pitch black and looked quite beautiful. After that, the black bubble grew larger and larger until Nolan's consciousness couldn't handle it. When the consciousness had reached its limit, the black bubble popped.
BOOOOOOM!!!
A loud explosion rang out in Nolan's mind and in the same instant that the bubble exploded, he floated a few meters above ground and opened his mouth and eyes which had turned completely black. His eyes were like the void, completely empty of light and his mouth was like the opening of the abyss.
A silhouette then formed slowly behind Nolan, the silhouette was vague but slowly taking shape.
|...Mhm..?|
The ant-man who had his eyes closed this entire time and reciting the Killing Scripture was interrupted by the silhouette behind Nolan, although vague, it seemed clear in his eyes.
|Kun… no, it's different. This fish and those wings… hahaha! Boy, you truly are mischievous! Hahaha!| thought the ant-man as he continued to recite the Killing Scripture. The silhouette continued to outline itself until a clear picture was formed. It was the silhouette of a flying fish with six wings. When it opened its mouth, rows of sharp teeth made their appearance.
The flying fish silhouette circled around Nolan for a few times before it entered his body. Nolan's figure then descended and landed on the ant-man's arm. Inside Nolan's consciousness, everything was completely different. Instead of being called a consciousness, it should now be called the Soul Sea, the core of a person's Soul.
The flying fish silhouette was much clearer inside the Soul Sea than outside. The flying fish silhouette was devouring the black Soul Sea greedily but Nolan didn't seem alarmed by this as if everything was under control.
Time went by quickly and the flying fish had devoured all the black Soul Sea. It then grew larger and larger until the Soul couldn't hold it inside so it released the flying fish. Once outside the Soul Sea, the flying fish continued to grow larger and larger until the Soul could fit into its mouth.
The flying fish silhouette then swallowed the humanoid Soul in one fell swoop. Then the flying fish took over the job as Nolan's new Soul.
What had just happened was that Nolan awakened his Soul when he reached the Killing Consciousness State which corresponded to the Fifth Volume of the Killing Scripture. And after that was the Sixth Volume of the Killing Scripture, the Killing Embodiment State. Killing Concept State was the Fourth Volume of the Killing Scripture.
The Killing Consciousness State allowed for Soul Awakening because it had to integrate itself into the Soul Sea then the Killing Embodiment State allowed for the fusion of Killing Consciousness to fuse with the Soul and become one. Now, Nolan's Soul was the very Embodiment of Killing.
The Flying Fish Soul still wasn't done, after it became Nolan's new Soul, it opened its mouth and vomited out litres of black liquid. This liquid then floated up and slowly enveloped the Flying Fish Soul. This process continued until the Flying Fish Soul was completely enveloped by the black liquid in a spherical ball of about a hundred metre radius. Now, only a black sphere could be seen if someone probed Nolan's Soul.
When this was done, finally, everything seemed to calm down and no more changes occurred. Nolan remained seated cross legged and absorbed the ant-man's information on the Killing Scripture.
|Killing Domain, how unexpected. It seems you're more talented than I thought. Your status shouldn't be low within my Demonic Sect since you're a very valuable piece in this chessboard. A status of a Demonic Child should suffice.| thought the ant-man.
