Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

Chapter 186 A Curse of Ultimate Evil (5,000 words)

Since being suppressed by Jiang Si, Heilong has almost completely lost its independent consciousness.

After all, Jiang Si's experience in the mental image remnants made her give up on continuing to give the black dragon independent consciousness, lest it harm her in some other place.

Even after transforming into the Calamity Dragon, the power and appearance used are still essentially derived from the Black Dragon, and are closely related to the Black Dragon's Nascent Soul.

Therefore, after the absorbed power began to have problems, it naturally attracted the black dragon's nascent soul.

Furthermore, he lifted Jiang Si's suppression, allowing the Black Dragon to awaken.

However, the first problem the black dragon will face after awakening is that it is being assimilated by the Cursed Realm.

At this moment, the gray-white calamity dragon finally understood what the last calamity beast meant.

Just like in some chaotic worlds in the chaotic universe of the Qingyun Ancestor—the ultimate sword dao supreme Beiming controller, the original heavenly dao was not complete or powerful enough, and could not support the eternal existence of the chaotic world after its birth. So the celestial immortals who came from these chaotic worlds merged their own dao with the original heavenly dao to become true immortals in order to delay the death of the chaotic world.

However, without opening up a world realm within one's body, comprehending the original Heavenly Dao, becoming an Ancestral Immortal, and leaping out of the Chaos World, one is ultimately just an ant. One cannot control this world, nor can one make it exist forever. Instead, one will be limited by the world itself.

Once the living planet representing the Cursed Realm dies, the Cursed Realm itself will also die.

The Calamity Dragon, which has absorbed the curse and power of the living planet and has begun to assimilate with the Cursed Realm, will also face death.

The Heavenly Way has collapsed, and the Calamity Dragon has taken over the position of the Calamity Beast, but it has ended up suffering the consequences!
Of course, this actually has no impact on Jiang Si.

After all, the Calamity Dragon is just one of his forms. Even if the Calamity Dragon dies, it only means that he has lost the ability to transform.

What exactly is the Nascent Soul?
In a battle between cultivators, the physical body may be destroyed, but the nascent soul may escape, and the cultivator may survive!
This is the Nascent Soul!
The reverse is also true.

The battle between the celestial beings and the human race was fierce, the black dragon died suddenly, the nascent soul took its place, but the original body remained undestroyed!
Can other Nascent Soul cultivators do that?

A good external nascent soul is no worse than a true nascent soul! Such an ingenious design makes one sigh that the nascent soul is truly a good partner for us cultivators.

Even in the pursuit of immortality, one must frequently reverse one's thinking.

Moreover, he has thoroughly figured out the principle behind the transformation.

Abandon the Calamity Dragon, then find a Calamity Egg and cultivate a new heretical Nascent Soul.

Compared to the classical school's concept of one person and one infant, it is only natural for a cultivator of the new era to have a replaceable nascent soul.

At that time, we must replace it with a sufficiently good external primordial spirit.

From the very beginning, the nascent soul's self-awareness was erased to prevent it from developing into a inner demon...

"Boss! Help! Boss! I'm going to die!"

The black dragon cried out and begged him.

Looking at it now, you can see that the black dragon's appearance is indeed terrible.

The scales on its body have started to lose their color.

The jet-black dragon scales quickly turned grayish-white, and soon it could no longer be called a black dragon, but a grayish-white dragon.

His whole body trembled, as if in some pain, but his dragon eyes gradually faded to grayish-white.

So it shouldn't hurt much later on.

"Boss, I... I'm feeling a little unwell..."

"It's normal to feel dizzy. Take deep breaths and get a good night's sleep."

You can disappear comfortably while you're asleep.

Even so, Jiang Si was not in a hurry to remove the Disaster Dragon form.

Moreover, as the power of the Calamity Dragon gradually disappeared, he also discovered a huge problem.

That is the power of rules obtained from the living planet, and the mental imagery domain from the Emperor, both of which are actually fused with the Calamity Dragon.

If the Disaster Dragon form disappears, these two powers may also disappear.

For Jiang Si, this was absolutely unacceptable.

You have to make sure you get the reward every time you run a dungeon!

His favorite part of reading books used to be the inventory check after the dungeon ended.

The joy and satisfaction of a bountiful harvest cannot be replaced by any story.

Now that he has lost the Golden Throne and his Black Card has been damaged, he has suffered heavy losses.

All this effort was made so that the Disaster Dragon form could be further improved and not be eliminated.

After all, Dragonblood Warrior is his favorite form.

But now that the power of the Calamity Dragon is about to completely dissipate and perish along with the Calamity Realm, he can accept it, since it's just starting over.

But if the power of the Golden Throne and the living planet also disappears, it's as if all my hard work has yielded nothing.

For Jiang Si, this is absolutely unacceptable!
Therefore, he still intervened and managed to ensure the survival of the Disaster Dragon to some extent.

However, even by interfering with the spread of gray-white death through one's own intense personal reality, it is impossible to restore it to its original color.

These gray and white things have already determined a certain outcome and can no longer be disturbed.

Living planets and the realm of calamities share the same origin, so much so that the Calamity Dragon, which merges with the power of living planets, is essentially a deathly gray.

It cannot be dyed back to black.

Moreover, due to the characteristics of the Cursed Realm, these grayish-white areas are different from those of other old worlds outside.

Compared to the grayish-white residue of Magical Girl Killer.

The grayness here is closer to the result of a curse. A curse that follows you like a shadow cannot be restored to its original color by your personal reality. Even Shion's magic can only destroy it...

Unless one cultivates divine consciousness.

Using changes in individual consciousness, the curse is rapidly dismantled and absorbed, altering the predetermined outcome!
"Boss, I think I saw my mom."

"She's doing very well, you don't need to worry about her."

"It seems like Mom is waving at me, and it seems like she's talking..."

"What did she say?"

"If you don't give it to Tang, we'll cause trouble."

"Then which mother of yours is he?"

Isn't that a joke made by Lu Ya?
Speaking of which, Jiang Si still doesn't understand the joke. She'll tell Bing Tang about it next time.

See if Bing Tang knows anything about these things.

Maintaining the black dragon's body in a state of semi-consciousness, Jiang Si attempted to transfer the Mind Image Domain and the Death God's Curse to the Dharma Body Aster.

However, in its current state, even the slightest touch of pure magic will produce a violent reaction, making it impossible to transfer.

Once transformed into a magical girl, these powers will instantly disappear.

"Boss..."

Black Dragon said weakly, "I want to live, boss, I don't want to die..."

Then think about it.

For Jiang Si, the current situation only allows her to abandon the Black Dragon and find a way to transfer her mental image domain and the power of rules.

"It won't die."

The dragon raised its head and looked at the creature that suddenly jumped down from its head.

The girl gently stroked the dragon's head.

The emperor closed his eyes and whispered:

"No, I won't let you die."

Then, Jiang Si did indeed smell a hint of death.

……

Death is a common occurrence in the realm of calamities.

People born with a curse are tormented by it at all times.

A curse is a manifestation of death.

As the ruler of the realm of calamities, the Emperor has witnessed countless deaths.

She witnessed her parents' deaths when she was very, very young.

The Calamity Realm is clearly a hellish place, yet people keep giving birth.

The purpose of procreation is very simple; it is not because of love or anything else, but simply to continue one's own life.

Because long ago, before the realm of calamity was completely swallowed by the curse, a child born would inherit the curse of their parents, thus lessening their curse and allowing them to live longer.

The longer a child lives, the more curses parents can avoid.

For those in the realm of calamity, this is as natural as it seems.

In order to survive, and even to alleviate the pain brought by the curse, people try to have children as early as possible and as many as possible.

Every child is not born to bear love, but to bear the curse of pure desire.

But the emperor was an uncursed child, and being uncursed was a miracle to others.

But for her parents, it was an even more desperate curse.

Because no one bears their curse, their lives cannot be extended by the birth of a child.

Instead, the newborn worsened the curse.

Therefore, not long after the emperor was born, his parents died a violent death.

She watched as her parents struggled in despair, resenting her birth and cursing her future.

The girl, who could not be infected by the curse, could not understand their anger and resentment.

I still remember my parents' last curse before they died.

Later in the town, she met many people, but the one who raised her was actually Rika, who had once fought against the curse alone.

That was an era when no one realized how terrifying it would be if the curse were allowed to spread, because although the curse was painful, it wouldn't cause everyone to die prematurely.

While everyone else was only thinking about having more children and increasing their lifespan, only Rika was thinking about how to reduce the curse.

While everyone else was thinking about how to coexist with the curse, only Rika was thinking about how to completely eradicate it.

She even considered killing the cursed baby and leaving only the uncursed baby, a terrible thing that would leave no one able to alleviate the suffering caused by the curse.

Everyone thought she was crazy.

Because before the emperor, there were no babies born without a curse, and there haven't been since. Isn't that extinction?
Without children to share the curse, the curse will only continue to increase.

Isn't this just making it impossible for everyone to survive?
Lika was eventually driven out of town.

When the Emperor saw Rika again, she had been tormented by the curse to the point of being unrecognizable.

Instead of having children to share her curse, Rika bore the curse alone and was lonely in her old age.

No one understood her, and no one helped her.

However, the methods she researched to combat and weaken the curse were ultimately continued.

The emperor's last meeting with her was at the edge of a cliff, where the old man, dedicated to eradicating the curse, lit a bonfire.

Why not spread the curse?

When the emperor was on the edge of the cliff, warming himself by a campfire, he couldn't help but ask her.

As long as I get married and have children, I can survive.

Lika shook her head, only sighing that she wished the Emperor were her daughter.

At that time, the Emperor did not understand what Lika meant.

She didn't know until she saw the magical girl with her own eyes and understood love and happiness.

Because she didn't want her child to struggle in a hell of despair.

She didn't want her child to share her curse and pain. If she could, she wished she could have a girl like the Empress, who wasn't cursed and could find happiness.

Perhaps, if Rika hadn't been cursed, she could have become a magical girl.

At the very least, she's more suited to be a magical girl than I am.

The Emperor stayed by Lika's side until her final moments.

Because, for the Emperor, she was indeed raised by Rika; without Rika, she would have simply waited to die among her parents' corpses.

She has always regarded Rika as her mother.

However, this adoptive mother, even on her deathbed, remained the same as her biological parents.

She was given the same curse.

Sometimes, emperors would wonder if they were not immune to curses after all.

But her curse remained in her soul.

The curse from both her biological parents and her adoptive mother has always accompanied her and has never disappeared.

However, her body was never tainted by the curse.

But the Emperor still couldn't understand why Rika would do something so meaningless in the end.

Why did she, who fought against the curse her whole life, end up fearing death?

After that, she encountered the sacred beast again.

The sacred beast led her through many things, and at that time she became the hope and salvation of the town.

Everyone hoped that one day she would succeed and break the curse.

But she thought it would be nice if someone else could do this kind of thing.

Why should I be the one putting in the effort while others reap the rewards?

Why can't others do the hard work while I enjoy the fruits of their labor?
Perhaps it was because of this thought that she was unable to meet the expectations of the sacred beast and others until the very end.

Gentle, kind, and selfless.

The characteristics that the sacred beast kept emphasizing to her were beyond the emperor's imagination and ability to achieve.

Even the sacred beast died because of the curse.

For an emperor, the despair and denial before death are like a curse.

As a result, even the emperor himself completely abandoned this path.

Even sacred beasts from other worlds will be cursed and killed if they stay here for too long.

But the emperor could never be tainted by the curse.

Let alone people from the Cursed Realm, she would be an absolute anomaly even in other worlds.

The townspeople's expectations of her turned into rejection of her as an outsider.

From isolation to eventual hostility and hatred.

It was like a trial of heretics.

She didn't want to become like Lika; she hated being isolated.

The town was reduced to ruins.

She was an empress who was never favored by the world's curse.

She is also an ordinary girl who is constantly plagued by human curses.

Until the individual's reality is realized in the realm of mental images, manifesting as a golden throne.

The emperor finally felt the curse for the first time.

Their pain, their despair, their struggles, only manifested in her at this moment, making her no longer an outcast different from everyone else.

She became an ordinary member of the Cursed Realm, no longer the miracle that was different from everyone else and could bring possibilities.

Even though she suppressed the effects of other curses with the Death Note, she could still clearly feel the pain caused by the curses.

But for the emperor, he experienced an unprecedented tranquility.

She finally accepted her identity and no longer felt uneasy or confused about her differences.

I also understood the madness of those people in the past, and even felt sorry for my former biological parents.

Despite hoping to use himself to escape some of the pain and curse, he only hastened his own death.

The despair born from hope is perhaps the most maddening thing.

Rika's final fear may have stemmed from jealousy stemming from a feeling of injustice.

An old man who spent his life fighting against the curse and trying to eliminate it inevitably felt jealousy and resentment as he looked at the child who did nothing but remained unaffected by the curse.

In the final moments of their lives, they all chose to bestow the same curse upon her.

The empire was established, reached its zenith, and then collapsed and fell.

The Empress ultimately met the end of her life as an ordinary girl from the Cursed Realm.

And now, I have witnessed the disappearance of the Cursed Realm.

She didn't feel resentful or sad, just a little melancholy.

All curses will then vanish, disappearing into the unknown void along with the Cursed Realm.

She should have disappeared along with the Cursed Realm, just like that.

"I don't want to die."

Until she heard the voice of the Calamity Dragon.

"I want to live..."

Until she witnessed the terror of the Calamity Dragon.

In a daze, I seemed to see my biological parents struggling in bed when I was a child.

He stared at her with a twisted and ferocious expression, cursing her while simultaneously expressing his will to survive.

And then there was Rika's foster mother, who, on her deathbed, held her hand tightly and, who had never shown any weakness, whispered the same words to her in her final moments of fear.

I don't want to die, I don't want to die...

I want to live.

The sounds blended together, making it increasingly difficult to distinguish which sound came from which.

The emperor, regaining his senses, touched the golden crown atop the dragon's head.

A familiar power surged into her soul, and the girl was adorned with magnificent golden clothes, golden hair, and golden-red scorpion-like pupils, which were no longer as empty and cold as before.

He simply held the ferocious, enormous dragon head tenderly, as intimately as if embracing a lover, and said, "Don't worry."

The Cursed Realm is a world that exists only within curses.

Similarly, all its power can only be maintained within the curse.

Even if the source of the curse is completely destroyed, the world that chased back and the calamity dragon that absorbed the source of the world will face extinction.

However, the world may not be able to completely eliminate the power within the Calamity Dragon.

All you need to do is give it a new, inescapable curse.

That was a curse that remained in the emperor's soul.

The curse came from his biological parents and his adoptive mother before her death.

It interferes with her personal reality, guides her to create the mental realm, and is even the reason why the Emperor has been able to maintain his immortal soul to this day.

The emperor lowered his head and kissed the dragon's head, whispering softly.

It tells the story of the hopes and despair of every living being in the Cursed Realm since time immemorial.

It was once the cruelest curse, but now it can be the most beautiful blessing.

"Please, bear all the curses and live on forever."

The world, which was originally filled with the gray and white of death, was once again illuminated by the dark light!
The eternal curse instantly engulfed the gray-white dragon's body, and then—

It has been dyed the color of a witch again.

Stroking the gleaming golden black scales, the hand gradually became ethereal.

It turned into specks of golden light.

As the emperor gradually disappeared, the corner of the Disaster Dragon's mouth twitched slightly.

You seem to have misheard...

Now that things have come to this, it was actually his own inner demon that made him say he didn't want to die.

I feel like I can't bring myself to say it...
