Curse Returns, a gamble from the start, I awaken dual spells

Chapter 141 (Final Chapter)

Xiaoye slowly lowered her right hand, the light at her fingertips vanishing in an instant.

Rito stood still, looking at Saya with a complicated expression.

Her eyes had regained their clarity, and her dark eyes revealed a pure worry.

"Rito—are you alright?" Saya's voice was tinged with urgency as she looked him up and down. "You look terrible, and your curse power is also—"

"I'm fine," Rito interrupted her.

But a hint of wariness appeared in his eyes.

The wariness wasn't directed at Xiaoye, but at the being that had briefly appeared on her just now.

That look in his eyes, that aura.

It made him feel a sense of oppressive unease.

That was definitely not Xiaoye's power, it didn't even seem like human power.

"Saya, just now you—" Rito began, wanting to ask for clarification.

But his words were interrupted by the guardian's voice.

"You—you are—the vessel of the Seed of Time!" The Guardian's voice was hoarse and trembling.

He knelt on the ground, his hands supporting him on the ground.

In the instant he was suppressed by Xiaoye, his staff slipped from his hand, his time domain was shattered, and the backlash almost destroyed his body.

But his gaze was fixed on Xiaoye, his eyes filled with terror and some emotion that no one could understand.

"A container for the Seed of Time?" Rihito frowned.

The guardian did not answer him.

His gaze was fixed on Xiaoye, and his body began to tremble violently.

"Impossible, this is impossible! How could the Seed of Time choose a human as its vessel?! That's—that's the foundation of the barrier!"

A hint of confusion flashed in Xiaoye's eyes. She took a half step back and subconsciously moved closer to Rito.

"I—I don't know what he's talking about." Her voice was somewhat flustered.

A glint of madness flashed in the guardian's eyes.

"I understand now—no wonder you could awaken the Wheel of Time, no wonder you could recite that sealing incantation, no wonder you could suppress my Time Domain!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guardian suddenly got up from the ground.

His hands formed a complex hand seal, and the cursed power within his body began to operate in a near-self-destructive manner.

The surrounding spacetime began to tremble once again.

Unlike the previous time zones, this time, the tremor carried a destructive aura.

The man's pupils contracted sharply.

He sensed that the guardian was burning his own life force.

It's not ordinary burning; it's transforming the soul, magical power, and even existence itself into a form of energy to launch the final attack.

"Let us all die and be buried together in the cracks of time!"

He suddenly clasped his hands together.

In that instant, the flow of time within a radius of 500 meters began to fluctuate wildly.

The temperature in the air dropped sharply, and fine cracks began to appear on the ground. What emerged from those cracks was not magma, but a blue light.

That was the light of time in turbulent flow.

Once caught in it, there is no chance of survival.

They don't even have the concept of death.

Because in the cracks of time, everything will lose its meaning.

Xiaoye's body trembled slightly; she could feel that destructive power approaching.

Something inside her was stirring, yearning to awaken once more.

But just then, a hand landed on her shoulder.

That's enough.

Rito's voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable power.

Sayo turned her head and saw Rito's expression, a face she had never seen before.

"I told you, I won't let anything happen to you again."

Rihito slowly raised his hands and made an extremely complex gesture.

"Domain Expansion"

His voice echoed through the ruins, each word like a judgment descending from the heavens.

"The Palace of Annihilation!!"

Rumble!!

A silent roar exploded in this space.

The next moment, a magnificent gray-white hall appeared behind Li Ren.

The temple was constructed from interwoven wisps of gray mist, and every crack exuded an aura of death that seemed to end all things.

The temporal turbulence that permeated the entire area was suddenly suppressed by an invisible hand.

All the violent spatial fluctuations, all the chaotic flow rates, and all the destructive energy surging from the Guardian were completely suppressed in that instant.

The blue light disappeared.

The cracks in the ground stopped expanding.

The buzzing sound in the air dissipated.

Instead, there was a deathly silence.

The gray-white hall stood atop the ruins, its deathly stillness spreading outwards like a tangible wave.

The guardian's body froze in place, his hands still clasped together, but the destructive energy had completely dissipated.

His pupils reflected the magnificent palace, his lips parted slightly, but no sound came out.

"What is this?!" His voice seemed to be squeezed out from deep in his throat, trembling with a sense of impending collapse.

The person in charge did not answer.

He simply stood there quietly, his gaze calmly fixed ahead.

The next second, the guardian's body began to change.

Fine cracks appeared on his skin, like a dried-up riverbed.

The cracks started at his fingertips and quickly spread across his entire arm, torso, and finally his face.

"No—no—"

His body, starting from his fingertips, gradually disintegrated into grayish-white dust, which drifted in the night wind.

The dust settled on the ground, blending in with the dust of other ruins, making it impossible to distinguish which part had once been a living person.

The outline of the Temple of Annihilation began to fade.

The grayish-white mist slowly receded, like receding tides, withdrawing from the surrounding space and returning to Li Ren's body.

Rito lowered his hands, his body swaying slightly.

His face was somewhat pale.

The expansion of his domain, coupled with the consumption of using the withered reversal technique to eliminate the influence of the "time domain," nearly depleted his curse power.

He could feel the cursed power within his body like a dried-up stream, with only a last wisp slowly flowing through him.

Then, Rito turned around and looked at Sayo.

Xiaoye stood there, the moonlight shining on her shoulders, casting a silvery halo.

Her expression was somewhat complicated, as if she was hesitating about something.

"Sayonara," Rito said.

"The guardian just now said that you are the vessel for the Seed of Time."

Xiaoye's body stiffened slightly.

"Also, the power that appeared on you in front of that roulette wheel earlier—and the aura you exuded when you suppressed the guardian."

Rito's gaze was fixed directly into her eyes.

"Tell me, who are you?"

Xiaoye lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.

When she looked up again, Rito saw a pair of unfamiliar eyes.

"Hello there."

Xiaoye's voice changed, carrying an echoing quality, as if it came from the depths of a distant time and space.

"My name is Hitomi."
