Chapter 9: A Hybrid mute

(Note :

1. Mana and Aura will be collectively called as energy sources.

2. The dantian and the monster core will be collectively called as energy cores

3. The absorption and assimilation of energy sources will be called the energy core system.)

Boom!!!

An explosion went off in Samael's mind.

Of course! that explained everything.

The revelation that he was some sort of hybrid between an Elf and a vampire accounted for everything.

It explained why he still could not absorb neither aura nor mana and why he could not form any energy core even after using all the mana and aura absorption breathing techniques available to him.

It all boiled down to the fact that he was actually a hybrid between two genomically different species.

In Earth's scientific terms, his condition could be explained as a genetic conflict between alleles that are responsible for forming a genetic sequence responsible for the development of an energy core. Loosely translated as Hybrid incompatibility.

To even begin with, the elves and the vampires were extreme species with a huge difference in genome functions, structure and content.Having allelles from such distinct genomes for recombination likely led to a situation whereby the alleles responsible for an energy source are conflicting and competing.

Now let's assume that he had been able to absorb either aura or mana, the expectation is that his energy core system would have struggled to determine whether to form a dantian or a monster core.

The alleles from the Elven bloodline would have competed with the alleles from the Vampire bloodline for dominion over the genome responsible for the utilisation of the energy source and the formation of the energy core. The conflict between the two would have led to an instability in the energy core system leading to a "ticking time bomb" which would have been more likely to go Kaboom!

That implied that somehow his body had mutated and closed all the channels responsible for the absorption of any energy source hence acting as a suppressor and terminator to the energy core gene conflict.

When Samael realized how dire the consequences would have been had he been able to absorb either energy source, his eyes widened in fright and his mouth hung open.

Miracle child my crap.

He almost died just because if that!

How ignorant his parents were!!!

They had birthed him just to kill him!

He had looked at them with such menacing and cold eyes such that they had thought that he had gone "nuts" due to all the running around and fighting for survival.

He had really wanted to shout and scream out loud for such an affront but sadly he still could not. After all, he still could not speak even after all these years. Apparently he was still a mute. Shocking right!?

At first, his parents had been freaked out and they had exercised all their religious practices on Him with the notion of begging for forgiveness from the gods for their curse. Yep, they thought they were cursed. Even them, being the powerful beings that they were, they were still scared shitless of curses.

Time passed and seeing that their "religious arts" weren't working out, they had slowly come to terms with it. That meant that their oral interactions with Samael had decreased since they could only communicate with Him in cases of yes or no answers. Not that he minded.

Once, he had thought of teaching them the sign language from earth but that was such a fuss, so he had changed his mind. The lesser interactions, the better. It gave him more time to think about his future path and read more books. He was after all programmed to be an assassin and an executioner and besides he found solace in less interactions with others. He could even find time to hymn songs he used to play on his violin, in his mind.

Oh how he missed playing a violin!? but for now, playing it in his mind would have to do.
