The battle against the aberration that the Saurian King ended becoming went for much longer than Blake had imagined. Not only did the bastard merged with dozens of gigantic monsters, but this power he unleashed seemed to have activated his own body's Xenoid Cells, further confirming to Blake that the Mutants of this world, and whatever "cataclysm" happened in the past, it was related with Xenoids, or some sort of experimentation humans did with their cells.
This somehow caused the entire world to be covered by these cells somehow, perhaps though the air, working as some sort of disease or virus that infected all living beings compatible with them, which were about anything with flesh and blood, plants were somewhat spared though, but everything else turned monstrous or died.
