The contamination, Chapter two
Location... The corruption
...
It was a normal day for the ruler of corruption, beside the stupid humans who keeps invading his land and trying to kill him thinking that they can get rid of the corruption by killing him. Little did they know, what they were doing was pointless because they were only killing his physical body which is merely something he manifest from the corruption magic that gathered in the corruption. He is actually the entire corruption himself.
Suddenly, he heard a loud, almost deafening voice that echoed in his head. As the corruption itself, the giant worm was able to gain excess to the minds of beings that roam the land, which meant one thing. The same message that every living being is being told of is being simultaneously repeated in his head.
THE ANCIENT SPIRITS OF LIGHT AND DARK HAVE BEEN RELEASED

"HOLY SHIT, STOOOOOOOOOOP" The ancient being screamed. Even a being as old as the ruler of corruption itself, the Eater Of World couldn't handle the sensory overload that he was currently being tormented by.
Meanwhile in the Crimson

"AHHH, MY BRAIN! IT HURT! IT HURRRTTT!" The Brain of Cthulhu is currently in the same predicament. His body which is a massive brain is receiving so much in formation that his brain might exploded... Literally.
After a a couple of minutes later the loud and repeated message that was tormenting the giant brain has finally stop.
"My god, it finally over... urgh my brain/body it still hurts..." Complained the floating brain. After a short while of recovering from that mental shock the Brain Of Cthulhu suddenly understand the implication of the message that had just gave him the worst pain he had felt in the last century.
"That message... It might seem that i need to start the preparation of a new army."
Suddenly the brain sense something, as the ancient souls of nights that was once again released upon the world, the crimson which is basically himself, had already started spreading uncontrollably due to sudden increase in power. Another phenomenon that occurs due to the released of these ancient souls is that more powerful and dangerous creatures are being born within the land of the crimson and presumably the corruption as well. But this entity that the brain had just sense was completely different from all the foolish creature that had wandered in his dangerous land. Instead it felt too... Pure?
"This soul... Is different from the rest..." Being slightly intrigued by the new presence that his spreading land had swallowed, the giant brain decided the investigate it. As he made his decision he decided to teleport towards the current position of this new soul.
Location... The corruption.
"Urghhh, that was not pleasant." The giant worm was currently recovering from his mental torment from earlier. Just he sense a new presence entering his corruption.
"Hmm, what this? A pure soul without a shred of darkness?" the worm thought. The worm had seen many souls before, in fact he had also eaten an uncountable of them, but never had he seen a soul completely devoid of darkness. Even some of the children that he had eaten had some bit of darkness within them. Intrigued by the presence of such a rare find, the Eater Of World immediately dug and crawl towards the position of the soul.
Location... Abandon unnamed village
The giant brain has already reach the abandon village, he observed the scenery around him.
"It seemed like the source of that soul is within this village and IS THAT THE CORRUPTION?!" he exclaimed, it seems like despite how close the corruption and crimson was close to each other, they could never really sense each others presence. So this quite a shock for the brain as he did not expect to find the pure soul so close to the corruption.
Suddenly ground suddenly trembled as a giant worm that towers over all the abandoned house appeared from beneath the ground.
"YOU!" The brain exclaimed at the sight of the evil being.
"What a surprise, I did not expect to see you and your crimson here." The worm amused
After composing himself together the brain asked the worm a question "I did not expect you and your corruption to be here too, i must admit i am quite surprised at your appearance."
"I am indeed surprise too. So i assumed you are here to investigate the pure soul" The wormed asked.
"Yes i did, a soul this as pure as this is quite rare and i wish obtain."
"Right it seems like the soul is within this house here." The worm shifted his sight to a small house inbetween them.
As the brain looked towards the house that he was being gestured at, he used his power to remove the building from the spot exposing the bearer of the pure soul. Which happened to be a sleeping baby.
"Huh? A..A...A human infant? Why would the humans leave their infant behind?" Questioned the brain
"Hmm, this explains why the soul is this pure as a newborn, the baby never had a chance to experience anything thus resulting it current pureness." The worm explained.
"In that case what should we do about it? It not like there is much use for a human newborn right?" The brain asked
"No, as a human newborn it pure soul is capable of easily changing and adapting to it surround, i shall take this child with me and turn him into a new and powerful species of my corruption beast!" The giant worm decided.
"Hey! What makes you think that i will just give him to you just like that!" The brain challenged
"Oh, so wish to fight me for it? Has thousands years of isolation finally drove you insane? Do you seriously think that you can defeat me?" The giant worm shouted.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY! HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME LIKE THAT, YOU ARE MERELY AN OVERSIZE WORM, DON'T MOCK ME, IF NOT I SHALL USE YOUR REMAINS TO FEED THE BIRDS!"
"Your body might be a giant brain, but it seem like that might just be mainly for decoration purposes, because any one with half a NORMAL size brain would understand that birds are smart enough to avoid anything corruption related, even my body."
"ALRIGHT THAT IT!" The brain shouted as he summoned his creepers that came flying from all direction, he than proceeded to use them to slam against the giant worm.
"Ouch! That hurt, alright if you want a fight than you shall get a fight!" the worm say as all the eye balls with his long body shot corrupt powder as projectile towards the creepers.
The battle that had just begin has already cause many damage to the surrounding around the fight. It is during this time that the inhabitant of both the crimson and corruption has sense that their ruler has began a fight against each other, after sensing that they were needed, they each begin making their way to the fight scene.
Meanwhile the Eater of World had already been forcefully been split into multiple pieces, though this might seemed as a good thing to the brain but little did he knew that this severed pieces of worms are able to slowly regenerate and regrow back to full length. As the brain focused all it creepers on stopping the multiple worms trying to dive toward him he completely disregarded he back, as a second giant worm appears behind him and slam it body towards the brain.
"URGHH! LOOKS LIKE I WILL HAVE TO GO ALL OUT!" The brain exclaimed as it central part split in half and thus exposing a heart with an eye on it. The brain then started channeling and soon multiple illusion of the brain appeared. These illusions are by no way fake as they can physically interact with their surrounding. As the many brains started slamming themselves towards the many worms, it has appeared that the creatures from both lands has arrived and started clashing against one another. The blood zombies are being torn to pieces by the devourers, the blood crawler are attacking the corrupt slime and a large pack of chimeras and eater of souls are engaging in an large scale area combat with many other monster fighting against each other.
The battle was intense, hectic and infact if a normal human saw the current battle, they might very well shit themselves. But as the battle plays out, many creature are continuously dying. When these creatures dies, crimson and corruption energy is released into the surrounding and currently many of said energy is being absorb into the baby.
As the soul of a baby is completely pure, it has amazing ability to adapt, and currently both crimson and corruption energies are trying to infect the baby to it side and hence their energy had been clashing against each other which only allowed a small remaining fraction of each energy to reach the soul of the baby, this allowed the soul of the baby to slowly but surely adapt and change to suit the energy that flowing into it. Eventually it has been done, the baby's soul is now perfectly in sync with both the corruption and crimson. Slowly his boy had also begin to change, his hair started to change their colour, from a once pure black hair it has turned into both purple and red. The same thing was also happening to his eyes, as his right pupil change from their original shade of blue into now a scarlet red, while his left eye changing into a dark purple.
After the transformation, the child woke up and witness the surrounding carnage. Usually a child in this situation would feel afraid and scared, but for this one he instead laugh as he saw the head of a face monster getting decapitated by a eater of soul.
Suddenly both the Eater Of World and Brain Of Cthulhu stopped their fight as they both sense at the exact same time the a new consciousness had entered both the corruption and the crimson. They both turn and looked at the laughing baby shocked at how the child manage to received both the energy of the crimson and corruption while still having a mind of it own.
"He..hey dirt eater you seeing this right" The giant brain stuttered.
"Ye..yes, it seems like the human baby had manage to both get corrupted and crimtaminated at the same time while keeping his own consciousness." The worm replied
"Then now what do we do with it? It technically already part of me, i cant exactly kill it for no reason." the brain asked once again
"I... I do not have a clue either?" The worm confessed
"Hey wait how about i rise them as my own?" suggested the brain
"WHAT! Why would you do that?" The worm surprised by the weird suggestion
"Well... This child don't really seem to have his parent anymore, and technically since he had became apart of me, that does make him related to me in someway." The brain trailed of
"Bu.. But his a human"
"Yeah, but his now part of us. And also he has his own consciousness and I am sick and tired of the loneliness that had been haunting us since the dawn of creation, and this child might finally be my way out of it." The brain argued
"Fine. If you want to keep him you can keep him, but it would be best to send him to me sometimes as well." The worm commented
"Oh already already jealous?"
"NO! It just that he is also a part of me, the corruption. If you only expose him to crimson than he might not have enough corruption magic to keep him balance and thus sane. And i am pretty sure the last thing you want is for your talk buddy to go insane right?"
"Urghh, but how should we decide on the schedule?"
"I propose that we should keeping rotating in weeks, you get the first week than i get the next week."
"Alright i am fine with that." With that the brain grabbed the child with one of it's tentacle and left. It decided that it should take it time walking back as the human baby really do seemed to enjoy the scenery of it's bloody and goreish land. The brain would have smiled at the baby for simply even enjoying the scenery of it's land, but it didn't have a mouth to do so. The brain thinking that it is going to raise this human child into a powerful being so that it can finally get a companion that would be able to talk to it and spend time with, slowly makes it way back to it caves.
