Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

Amano Tsukiko reached out and supported Kirie, her movements very steady.

Her expression remained calm, but the darkness in her eyes shrank to two pinpoint-sized black holes under the direct sunlight of the near-Earth orbit.

Shen Jue stood in the very center of the tower top.

He raised his left hand.

The Sun Goddess hovered directly above him, and the coronal beams spread out at near-Earth orbit, forming a golden-red net of light covering tens of kilometers, enveloping the entire top of the tower in an artificial daylight.

"Things," Shen Jue said.

Amano Tsukiko released her grip on Kirie's hand and took something out of her bosom.

It's not big; you can probably hold it in one hand.

It is round in shape, with an unhealthy texture that is somewhere between skin and rubber, and a faded flesh-white color.

On one side, there are five small holes: two eyes, two nostrils, and a mouth.

The edges of those holes were smooth, as if someone had used an extremely sharp scalpel to cut them cleanly off a face.

It was fuller than human skin, abnormally full.

The surfaces inside those holes are covered with an extremely thin, translucent membrane. The membrane constantly changes the angle of reflection as it subtly undulates, as if it is breathing.

This is the original form of the cursed human head balloon meme sealed by Shen Jue.

Those giant balloons that take to the sky, and those deadly flying objects with nooses hanging from the sky that look just like humans, are all just byproducts.

It is a byproduct of the spread of the curse.

The real curse, that thing that was originally born from some unknown corner and was distorted by the concept of "face," is in Tsukiko Amano's palm.

Amano Tsukiko took two steps and handed the curse itself to Shen Jue.

Her movements were without any hesitation, as if she were handing over an ordinary tool.

When Shen Jue received the cursed artifact, the tower trembled.

It's not a structural tremor, it's a induced tremor.

The entire giant tower, built from Tomie's flesh and blood, writhed from its base to its spire the instant Shen Jue's fingers touched the curse itself.

All the Tomie petals blooming on the tower opened to their maximum angle at the same moment.

The mucus gushed from the base of the petals, flowing down the tower and instantly solidifying into new vascular patterns in the extreme low temperatures of near-Earth orbit.

All the Tomie on the tower turned in the same direction, toward the top of the tower, toward the cursed object in Shen Jue's hand, as if toward a beacon they had been waiting for a long time.

Shen Jue looked down at the curse itself, slowly raised it, and aimed it at the indentation reserved in the center of the tower top.

The concave shape and the outline of the curse itself fit together perfectly, as if it had been created for it from the very beginning.

"Without Tomie's almost limitless biomass," Shen Jue spoke, his voice clearly transmitted to every screen around the world via the live streaming system.

"It will be quite difficult for me to achieve my wish to save the Earth and human civilization."

Shen Jue pressed the head-cursed meme into the indentation.

With a casual flick of his wrist, the dormant variant T-virus within Kirie and Amano Tsukigami's womb suddenly began to mutate.

Both women let out screams.

The sound was no longer the mournful cry of flesh and blood, but rather a strange, trembling sound like a glass harp being played on the edge of a shattered surface. Where the sound waves passed, a very faint phosphorescence rippled through the air.

The body then mutated and burst open, like the bio-monsters at the top of the food chain in Resident Evil unfolding their final forms.

Their bodies began a tragic yet grand reconstruction.

The bones crackled and popped, like the clear sound of jade shattering beneath ice.

The skin was cracked inch by inch, but there was no blood in the cracks. Instead, a thick, bright luster like molten gold shone through, just like the cracks that suddenly appeared on a piece of antique porcelain, and then filled with the sunlight.

In the blink of an eye, Kirie and Amano Tsukiko's figures twisted and stretched.

Countless transparent threads were drawn from the void, entwined, woven, and fused together, piecing together flesh and blood like stardust.

The surging pressure spread out like a crimson aurora, both terrifying and magnificent.

When the dust settled, two figures stood bathed in light, like newborn species that had just emerged from the ashes of creation.

Their appearance has reached a level of superhuman perfection.

Her facial contours were as if carved by moonlight, with iridescent hues flowing beneath her skin.

Every breath seemed to resonate with thunder.

The mortal body has thus been transformed into a visible epic.

The mutated T-virus has transformed Kirie and Amano Tsukiko into superhumans with terrifying physiques, capable of surviving for extended periods in near-Earth orbit.

This change was simply because Shen Jue activated the mutated T-virus consciousness sub-entities hidden within the two women.

There was no sound the moment the curse itself embedded itself into the top of the tower.

"The foundation of this world's existence, in my view, is not humanity, but the curse that exists on Earth."

"Humans are merely a byproduct of the curse."

Shen Jue released his grip.

The original form of the Head Balloon Curse meme no longer needs him to hold it down.

It began to rotate autonomously within the depression.

With each rotation, the five holes on the surface open simultaneously, and what emerges from the depths of the holes is not gas or matter, but something closer to a "concept".

Its original concept was rapidly stripped away in this process.

Shen Jue used the substitute, Yu Ri Xi He, to accelerate the timeline of the entire Aberration Type II and the Flesh and Blood Tower, compressing decades of growth into an extremely short period of time.

"And a curse."

Shen Jue turned around and faced the camera.

The radiance of Xihe, the sun goddess, spread out behind him like a sun crown.

"It is a necessary offering."

Shen Jue paused for a moment, and it seemed that the hearts of viewers around the world missed a beat during that pause.

"I will sacrifice a curse to increase my power against Hellstar."

The wind at the top of the tower blew through Shen Jue's hair.

The extremely thin atmosphere in near-Earth orbit created a miniature cyclone around the top of the tower.

Those cyclones, containing charged particles remnants of the aurora borealis, shimmered with a golden-red glow in the light of the sun.

"This tower of flesh and blood is not a useless spectacle," Shen Jue said.

"It is one of the cornerstones of sacrifice."

Shen Jue slowly raised his right hand from his side, his five fingers slightly spread, palm facing up.

Yu Ri Xi He raised her right hand at the same time, the movements were completely synchronized.

"In order to find a way to save Earth's civilization in a short time, my friends and I have devised a plan," Shen Jue said slowly, raising his right fist.

The action itself makes no sound.

But every viewer around the world heard one voice.

It wasn't coming from electronic devices; it was coming from inside their bodies.

From the very center of every living cell, from the inner membrane of the mitochondria, from between the hydrogen bonds of the DNA double helix structure.

It was something sealed at the deepest level of life that was awakened by this clenched fist.

"Biomass: the material basis for an alarmingly large quantity."

"Curse - The essence of the laws that represent the power of the world."

"The soul is a subject with complete memory and reason, possessing a clear self-awareness."

Shen Jue raised his head, his gaze piercing through the thin atmosphere of near-Earth orbit, through Earth's magnetosphere, and through the dark red shadow cast by the approaching hellish star on the outer edge of the solar system.

"When the three come together, I will tear down all the barriers of infinite diversity and infinite dimensions, and guide the golden soul from beyond endless time," Shen Jue said softly.

"substance."

"law."

"soul."

"Once all three elements are gathered, it will be the day Hell Star perishes."

Shen Jue raised his right fist to shoulder height.

The golden-red light and shadow of Yu Ri Xi He raised his right fist in sync with the movement behind him, and the female silhouette that covered half the sky began to change during this action.

Her figure is shrinking, or rather, condensing.

The coronal currents that had spread for tens of kilometers began to converge toward Shen Jue's fist, passing through his fingers one after another and drilling into his clenched fist.

The high-energy rays emitted by the Sun Goddess grew brighter and darker, changing from white to yellow, from yellow to gold, and from gold to a reddish-gold color somewhere between lava and the core of the sun.

The cursed entity at the top of the tower was spinning faster and faster.

All the Tomie figures on the tower stopped climbing and turned to the top of the tower at the same moment, with hundreds of millions of identical faces looking in the same direction.

The tower of flesh and blood began to glow from its base to its tip, as the biomass energy stored in each piece of flesh and blood structure was being transformed into a kind of pure signal carrier.

Listen carefully.

Shen Jue's voice pierced through all screens, through all language barriers, through the atmosphere and ionosphere, and through all the rational defenses that human civilization had built up over thousands of years.

"I'm not just saving your lives."

Shen Jue suddenly flipped his clenched fist, the back of his fist facing up and his five fingers spread open.

"I'm also calling out to my friends."

The moment Shen Jue slightly spread his fingers, the air around his fingertips seemed to be sliced ​​by an invisible blade.

Five deep, void rifts spread out from between his fingers.

This is one of the results obtained by many Shen Jue in the white space after they worked together to study the formation of the horror movie world and the characteristics of Junji Itō's world.

In that boundless white space, the Shen Jue from numerous worlds sat in a circle.

Based on the ancient and intricate formations found in horror films, the film captures the eerie nature of the world created by Junji Ito.

That is, the inescapable curse logic, the spiral-shaped mental pollution, and the abnormal distortion laws of space and body.

Disassemble layer by layer and deduce repeatedly.

Many Shen Jue's analyzed the characteristics of the other world and fused them into the visible power and formations of Shen Jue in Junji Itō's world.

Ultimately, Junji Ito and Shen Jue brought the summoning array, which combined the essence of the two worlds, into Junji Ito's world.

By capturing the curse, constructing a tower of flesh and blood from an extremely terrifying amount of biomass, and combining it with Shen Jue's complete memories and rationality from other worlds, Junji Ito completed this formation.

The magic array formed by the tower of flesh and blood trembled, and Junji Ito and Shen Jue were summoning!
