The King of Curses

Chapter 314 The Man Closest to the Peak
"This is probably some kind of... According to the terminology of this era, it is a part of the special forbidden spell, right?"

Louka said with a grin.

"Shouldn't you thank me? If it weren't for me, you would have had a conflict with Meng Huafan. In addition, this fragment is lodged in the body of the Mirage Lord. It should have been swallowed before being manipulated. Maybe he hasn't discovered it yet."

"A treasure that does not require any risk is in my possession right now. I just snatched it away when no one was paying attention. You..."

"Don't talk nonsense, just give it to me."

As Cen Dongsheng spoke, he quickly snatched the fragment from the villain and merged it into the other fragments in his body.

The Asura realm, the hungry ghost realm, the human realm, the animal realm, plus the fragment of the Heavenly Realm residing in Chen Jiu's body, five of the six have been obtained, and victory is at hand.

"what……!"

Loujia screamed and waved her hands in the air, trying to take back the fragments. Unfortunately, the evil god who had been destroyed once by the "Infernal Hell" had only a little bit of body left. She was small and weak, and the man's strong palm could easily wrap her up, and she was completely unable to resist.

"Really annoying!"

She could only puff up her cheeks, wave her little fists and hit Cen Dongsheng's shoulders to express her dissatisfaction.

……

In Chen Jiu's foresight, Cen Dongsheng would get the beast path delivered to his door in the next two days, so he was mentally prepared, but he didn't expect it to be in this way.

After putting the fragments in his pocket, he asked again:
"You mean, this was obtained from the Mirage Lord, and Meng Huafan doesn't know this yet?"

"Even though the Mirage Lord has become a puppet, it still hides its secrets. This has always been its survival instinct. But this time..."

A hint of pity appeared on Loujia's face.

"——It's probably really dead."

*
"The Mirage Master is dead."

The dark oval figure listened quietly.

"With its lifespan, it would not have survived until now. But it obtained something and used it as its life core... but that thing was taken away in the battle just now."

"it's a pity."

The shadow said, his voice sounded like it came from a radio, rustling and mixed with noise.

The surrounding flesh walls are withering and decaying, peeling away to reveal the remains of steel once again.

"Also, I chose the Mirage Lord as my body, so the current 'me' is going to die just the same."

Even though he was talking about his own death, his tone remained calm.

Meng Huafan used the last bit of vitality left in the mirage's body to promote tissue growth and plug the broken hole thickly to prevent the entire ship from sinking.

"It'll be a while before you come back?"

"Well, it might take two or three days."

“Does our promise still count?”

"Of course. During my absence, you will be the owner of the Mirage, and I can share the materials and experiments I left behind with you."

The voice gradually faded, and this time it seemed to come from far away.

"I have something to do, please excuse me for now."

The black figure felt the man's breath fading away, and no expression could be seen on its featureless face.

"Are there any secrets on this ship that are worth my attention?"

*
"He's dead, that's a pity..."

Cen Dongsheng sighed.

"Maybe there is a way to revive him~" "What method?"

"I can't tell you that, at least not now."

The villain gave a mysterious smile.

"So, have you changed your mind now? Keeping me by your side will bring you all kinds of unexpected benefits. The knowledge and insights I have accumulated over thousands of years as an evil god alone are a great treasure for people of your time."

It made sense; but the more it made sense, the more suspicious the other party's motives became as he was so eager to stay with him.

"Evil gods are the enemies of mankind" - this is common knowledge known to everyone in the future world of curse masters, and Cen Dongsheng dare not forget it.

"...Let's not talk about the benefits first. I just doubt you."

Cen Dongsheng replied.

"I told you, we are not familiar with each other. We have only met a few times. Why do you have to help me?"

"Um……"

The little person on his shoulder folded his hands, his expression was visibly serious, and he was lost in thought for a moment. It seemed that she really wanted to gain his trust.

Although he really wanted to complain: Being able to think for so long, it seems like he is just making up a pretense...

After a moment of silence, Loujia tilted his head and asked tentatively:
"…Because of love at first sight?"

Seeing the man's expression suddenly turn cold, Loujia thought it was indeed far-fetched. After a short period of "human learning", her understanding of "emotion" became more and more vivid and proficient, so she hurriedly explained:

"I mean, when I first saw you, I was like… Wow!"

She screamed once more, and felt the world spinning before her eyes, and a sense of oppression as if she was being crushed all over her body.

The man grabbed her and held her under his nose.

Seeing that expressionless face, her eyes widened. At that moment, she felt the sense of being bound with nowhere to escape, and the helplessness of having her life and death controlled by others.

This kind of experience is really... rare for the god who was once high and mighty.

Although her consciousness would return directly if she gave up this half body, and ordinary death was not the end for her, Loujia did not intend to give up easily, whether for the sake of the plan to proceed or to experience this emotion personally.

In fact, even this plan itself was a sudden idea for Loujia herself, and it was her first time trying it, but there was no need to explain this to the human in front of her. She just smiled bitterly and said:
"Have you noticed? I'm too weak to resist right now, so you don't have to worry. If I make any unusual moves, you can strangle me to death like this."

"That won't do. You are an evil god. Even if your fighting power is insufficient, your other means must be powerful and abundant, right?"

"……I see."

Louka nodded.

"I can't convince you to believe me, but I can tell you that as long as you get me, you can get unexpected benefits. So, this is a game of risk and benefit, you can think about it carefully."

"for example?"

"For example, how to reach the 'highest realm'. Although the situations of gods and humans are different, I believe that I..."

This is indeed a top priority.

It would be better to say that the opponents he has faced recently, the series of events and struggles, are all caused by this one thing.

Every special spell-binding master is trying every means to climb to the top; and the "god" of ghosts and monsters corresponding to the "ancestor" of mankind is indeed qualified to teach.

"The problem is, I haven't reached that level yet." Cen Dongsheng smiled. He was even a special-class spell master. "So, I'm not in a hurry."

After hearing this, the evil god showed a strange expression. She looked at the man with a surprised look.

"——But among all the humans I have met, including those special curse masters, you are the one closest to it... Cen Dongsheng, didn't you notice it yourself?"
