*Bing-Bong*
We interrupted this chapter to provide a brief reminder of what zako are exactly, since it has been awhile since their last appearance.
Zakos are a type of [Chaos] infused lifeform created when the aforementioned energy is injected into items of little "value" or "worth".
They lack the ability to cultivate due to having no cores, so in a way, they're similar to proto-kaijin, but unlike proto-kaijin, they cannot develop a core and a formula over time and experience.
Their bodies can, however, mutate over time due to exposure to either certain types of energy, kaijin assignment, or the usage of a certain newly minted type of [Chaos] life known as a parasinner.
Regardless, a zako will remain a zako until a core is implemented, simple as that.
We now return to your regularly scheduled chapter.

You do know you'll have to make an auxiliary chapter about this later, right?
