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

Chapter 157 Answer

An eerie silence fell over the seabed.

The murky seawater, carrying ice crystals, flowed slowly between the three of them, refracting a faint light.

Fuheshen stood still, his fist still in the punching posture, but the fierce killing intent was slowly dissipating.

Rito held Fushiguro Megumi tightly, feeling the boy's body trembling slightly in his arms.

That punch was so powerful that even though Fushiguro Megumi defended with all her might, her internal organs must have suffered a significant impact.

Fuhei Shen's gaze remained fixed on Fuhei Hui.

Those eyes, which had always been calm, were now churning with complex emotions that Rito had never seen before.

He slowly lowered his fist, his body slightly tense in the cold seawater, as if he were going through some kind of intense inner struggle.

"you----"

Fuheshchen spoke.

The sound traveled through the seawater with a somewhat muffled quality, carrying a hoarse and low texture.

That was the first time Rito had heard him speak.

"What's your last name?"

These three words echoed in the seabed, as if carrying a weight that transcends life and death.

Fushiguro Megumi's body stiffened abruptly.

He looked up, his pale face filled with shock and bewilderment.

Those usually calm and composed eyes were now disturbed by some enormous emotional shock, and the pupils trembled slightly.

Li Ren's heart skipped a beat.

Fushiguro Megumi struggled to stand up straight, and Rito quickly supported his shoulders to help him regain his balance.

The boy still had traces of blood on the corner of his mouth, but his gaze was unusually firm as he stared directly at the man who looked like him.

There was a few seconds of silence.

Then, Fushiguro Megumi spoke, her voice weak but exceptionally clear.

"Fu Hei".

"My surname is Fu Hei."

Fuheshchen's expression underwent a subtle change in that instant.

His brows relaxed slightly, and a relieved smile appeared on his lips.

"Yeah----"

Then, he raised his right hand and aimed it at his heart.

Li Ren's pupils suddenly contracted.

"etc!"

His voice boomed across the seabed, and his body instinctively surged forward.

He got it!

Fuheishen is going to commit suicide!

After hearing Fushiguro Megumi's answer, the puppet controlled by the spirit summoning technique finally regained a sliver of its own consciousness.

But it was this sliver of awareness that led him to choose the most extreme way to end the battle: to destroy himself.

The puppet controlled by the spirit summoning technique has only awakened a sliver of consciousness; self-destruction is the best outcome.

But the rational person disagreed.

He grabbed Fuhesh'er's wrist, stopping his impending strike.

Shen Er paused, turned to look at Rito, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Let go." His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.

"If you want to die, wait until you finish something before you die," Rito said.

Fu Heishen raised an eyebrow, his gaze growing even colder.

Li Ren did not back down. He looked directly into those predator-like eyes and said, word by word, "Help us kill Tuo Gen."

.

Fuheishen tilted his head, a playful smile appearing on his lips.

"Kid, who do you think you are?"

"You think you can order me around? Or do you think those two moves you just made are enough to make me obey you?"

Li Ren gritted his teeth.

He knew he was no match for Fuheshen. He had already exhausted all his means—domain expansion, Zero Pivot, Ice Wall—all of which were as fragile as paper in front of Fuheshen.

But he did not back down.

"I have no right to order you around, but I know what you want to do." Rihito's Ziguang remained resolute. "You want to prove that you are still alive, and you want to use this battle to prove your existence."

Fuheshchen's smile faded slightly, and his gaze sharpened.

"continue."

"The death of Torghast means nothing to you," Rihito continued, "but if you help us kill it, Fushiguro Megumi..."

""

He turned his head and glanced at Fukuhei Hui.

He will remember this.

Fuheshchen remained silent.

His gaze shifted from Rihito and landed on Fushiguro Megumi again.

The boy was standing in the murky seawater, his face as pale as paper, with blood still hanging from the corner of his mouth.

But he did not fall, beg for mercy, or back down.

He stood there, staring straight at Fuheshchen with eyes that were seven parts similar to Hui's mother's.

Shen Er's eyes flickered.

"You—" His voice was a little hoarse, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Fushiguro Megumi was silent for a moment, then spoke, "Why did you abandon me and my sister?"

That sentence seemed to be uttered with all his might, his voice carrying emotions suppressed for decades.

"Why did you have to make us—orphans?"

Fuheshchen's body trembled violently.

That was the first time Rito had seen a wavering look in this man's eyes.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he just lowered his head in silence.

After a long while, he raised his head, his gaze becoming cloudy and complicated.

"Because I'm a piece of trash."

These words, like a knife, pierced the silence of the seabed.

"A useless piece of trash who only knows how to kill."

He raised his hand and looked at his fists, which were covered in blood.

"The only thing I've ever done in my life is kill. I'm not fit to be a father, not fit to be a husband. I'm leaving—"

It's the best choice for you.

A glint flashed in Fushiguro Megumi's eyes, an emotion that Rito had never seen on his face before.

"So now—" Fushiguro Megumi's voice trembled slightly, "what do you plan to do?"

Fuhesh'er's gaze sharpened again.

He looked at the dark red core, then at the battlefield on the sea where the fierce battle with the Tuogen was taking place.

"kill."

A smile curled at the corner of his mouth, the smile of a hunter locking onto his prey.

"Since this is what I do best, let's use it to—atone for our sins."

Li Ren's heart skipped a beat, and he released his grip on Shen Er's wrist.

Fuheshel's body bent slightly, his feet planted on the rocks on the seabed, his muscles tensing like a precise machine.

"Kid, the exit is at the bottom of the sea." His gaze swept over Rito. "Once we've dealt with Torgeng, you'll lead them away."

Rito nodded: "And what about you?"

Fuhesh did not answer, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile that was almost one of relief.

After saying that, he suddenly exerted force with his body.

boom!!

A huge white splash erupted from the seabed, and Fuheishen's figure shot towards the surface like a cannonball.

He tore the seawater apart, forming a huge whirlpool that surged wildly upwards.

Rito, supporting Fushiguro Megumi, watched the figure disappear into the light on the sea, a feeling he couldn't quite describe welling up inside him.

Fuheshchen—the man known as the Tyrant of Heaven—has finally found himself again.
