After summoning an Early Abomination Lord, Shang tried to communicate with it.
Abominations had no thoughts or even instincts. They were just a walking force of destruction, like fire.
However, Shang had noticed that the Abomination Lords were not that simple.
The difference was quite subtle, but Shang could tell that the Abomination Lords were a bit more complex than weaker Abominations.
That was why Shang was trying to communicate with one.
After a while, Shang could feel that this Abomination Lord actually had a mind, but the mind was very simple.
It was probably not any smarter than an insect, but it was still many times smarter than some fire.
When Shang ordered it to kill him, it refused to.
Its instincts were telling it that it was supposed to listen to Shang, not kill him.
