"And the spiritual energy from that world will spread along this hole into our world."
As Duanmu Huai spoke, sand in the hourglass started cascading down, and silence hung around, with only the soft sound of sand dripping.
"Of course, if it were only like this, then it wouldn’t be much of a problem. After all, Curse Masters will die; once they’re dead, the pathway gets blocked. However, unfortunately, an exception has erged."
"You an...?"
Otonashi Youta looked towards Tianyuan with a grave expression.
"Exactly, Tianyuan, you’ve just ntioned, Tianyuan’s strength has been guarding Japan. It is precisely due to the assistance from his strength that Japanese Curse Masters have been empowered with powerful Barrier Techniques———and coincidentally, this answers my initial inquiry, why is it that only in Japan there is an extraordinary number of Curse Masters?"
Duanmu Huai flicked his left hand, retrieving the hourglass, and snapped his fingers.
"The reason is simple, as you should well know, from a scientific perspective, when an area is exposed to radiation for long periods, its ecosystem undergoes various changes, and creatures mutate as a result———in fact, you Curse Masters are individuals who have mutated due to bathing in that energy. Of course, it’s not that there aren’t natural mutations, but you surely know, pure natural mutations are seldom found, but if one were to artificially create mutants, that’s another matter entirely, isn’t it?"
"......"
Nobody spoke; everyone was sweating profusely. Duanmu Huai’s taphor was straightforward, and they naturally understood his point. Tianyuan’s barrier covers all of Japan, which ans the entire country is under Tianyuan’s influence, and living long-term in this radiation-like environnt vastly increases the probability of mutations.
"The reason Curse Spirits run rampant all over Japan is similar; for example, Curse Spirits are like marine fish unable to survive in fresh water. But Tianyuan’s approach is akin to continuously pouring seawater into a pond, gradually adjusting the environnt to suit marine fish, predictably attracting them here, isn’t it easy to understand?"
"..."
"If this continues, the two worlds will grow closer, hence the necessity to eliminate this guy first and stop this process completely."
"You, you can’t do that!"
At that mont, Yegao Zhengdao realized, hurriedly shouting to stop.
"If you do this, the Magic Inspection Departnt will..."
"Magic Inspection Departnt?"
Facing Yegao Zhengdao’s warning, Duanmu Huai rely yawned in boredom.
"What can they do to ? Send people to hunt down? I’m not so naless figure; I’m a famous film star. I’d like to see which idiot Curse Master dares hunt in broad daylight. Besides...... do you genuinely think the Magic World’s status is as stable as Mount Taishan?"
"What do you an?"
Hearing this, Gojo Satoru curiously glanced at Duanmu Huai, querying.
Duanmu Huai chuckled softly.
"Actually, today, I plan to deliver a very surprising Christmas gift to the Magic World...... as you ntioned earlier, Tianyuan’s strength bolstered Curse Masters, so if I kill Tianyuan, the Curse Masters will lose their enhanced power, and the remaining ones... hmm, no, revealing the Christmas gift prematurely spoils the surprise."
Duanmu Huai resolutely shut his mouth, then once more glanced at the crowd.
"Alright, now I offer you a choice: either stand with Tianyuan and be killed by , or join to resolve everything once and for all!"
"......... Gojo Sensei......"
The students from Curse High faced with this sudden turn of events were totally at a loss, looking towards Gojo Satoru for help. Yet Gojo Satoru said nothing, rely lowering his head silently.
Finally, after a brief mont......
"I withdraw."
Otonashi Youta’s voice rang out, as he planted the Japanese sword in the ground and retreated.
"Due to my mistake, Rikka beca a Curse Spirit. I beca a Curse Master and hunted Curse Spirits so there would be fewer people like . So, if Curse Spirits could entirely vanish...... I see no need to stop it."
" as well."
Jiushiji Youji followed suit, standing aside.
"Eradicating all Curse Spirits has always been my goal. Frankly, I’ve always wondered why such extre anomalies occur only in Japan. But now, I finally understand the cause......"
Jiushiji Youji glanced at Yegao Zhengdao.
"I even suspect, have those elders known about this all along? After all, without Curse Spirits, Curse Masters would be unnecessary, and their power and status precarious wouldn’t it?"
"I don’t know."
Principal Yegao Zhengdao did not answer directly.
Perhaps he truly did not know.
At this point, Tianyuan spoke.
"Do you truly understand what you’re saying?"
It stared at Duanmu Huai, voice rasping.
"I’ve already abandoned assimilation. In fact, now I’ve basically beco an entity akin to a Curse Spirit, my soul is everywhere, I am the world......"
"That world indeed is everywhere, but if you think evolving into a Curse Spirit ans I can’t eradicate you, then you’re underestimating ."
Duanmu Huai gripped the sword hilt tightly.
"Do you truly wish to proceed? Although as you stated, I and that world are connected, your actions might bring greater disaster to the world!"
"We’ll discuss that when the ti cos."
To Tianyuan’s words, Duanmu Huai was unmoved.
"I do as I please. At least, I’ll deal with you first as the root of this, then we’ll discuss the aftermath."
"........."
Gojo Satoru moved forward, positioning himself beside Tianyuan, turning his head to gaze at Duanmu Huai.
"I acknowledge your reasoning, but Tianyuan’s words also hold rit; perhaps killing it would rely bring greater devastation to the world."
"So?"
"So, ultimately, it’s about proving through strength."
Gojo Satoru raised his hand, aiming at Duanmu Huai.
"I do feel the current Magic World indeed requires reform, but destroying it is another matter. Moreover, I’m uncertain if your approach is right; maybe Tianyuan’s thod is correct. But that doesn’t matter, I won’t make a foolish choice leading to regret, thus...... fight !"
"Are you serious?"
Duanmu Huai raised an eyebrow.
"Was last ti’s lesson insufficient?"
"This ti, I’ll be serious from the start."
Gojo Satoru said, revealing a slight smile.
"Hope it brings you satisfaction."
