God's Eyes

"Lower soul world amplification? What about a curse?"

Both Jason and Dalia were not sure if they heard what Shane said correctly because it seemed extremely weird.

The room turned quiet again and only when Shane noticed this, he looked up only to look into two dumbfounded faces.

"A curse?" Dalia asked, frowning.

She already heard a few things about curses and knew a little bit about it, but curses mostly focused on cursing one's mana core, body, the environment, or something similar to that.

However, after hearing Shane's next words, Dalia knew that he implied something different

Scratching the back of his head, Shane could only say what was on his mind

"As you two may know, my soulbond, the bane of the thousand eyes wolf is a cursed wolf and through this, I was forced to research more about curses to prevent that it would curse anyone except my targets.

It might be difficult to cope with but a curse to lower one's soul world amplification should exist somewhere! There are all kinds of curses we don't know about and I doubt that something like this doesn't exist!"

Dalia couldn't help but lift her eyebrow at Shane's words because it seemed ridiculous to curse oneself to lower one's soul world amplification as she averted her gaze towards Jason.

Jason's eyes shimmered brightly and his lips curled upwards when he said

"A curse to lower my soul world amplification would probably be the best to solve my issue regarding the high transferred strength from my Artemis and Scorpio. This would also allow me to strengthen my vessel at a faster pace and bind more soulbonds without the fear of breaking apart!

But there are also a few issues regarding this solution!"

Blinking several times, Dalia began to ask herself if the two men in front of her were sincere with their opinion towards curses when she heard Jason's next words.

"There are two issues with curses I can see right now. The first one would be that I don't know how to receive a curse, and the second would be the question about how I can determine what area I want to have curses or in my case how I can only curse my soul world core's high amplification!

I know that it might only be a thoughtless idea, but it's worth a try as long as we can be certain about the two issues with curses!

Fortunately, I have more than enough time left because my soulbonds won't become much stronger anymore without breaking into the Magus rank or rather enter the Lique-state by compressing their mana into the first mana drop!

By absorbing mana and breaking through the next levels, I might as well enlarge my vessel and strengthen it once again by refining my body in accordance to my mana core rank!"

Sighing, Dalia was glad that Jason didn't completely lose his mind, and that he was still thinking more rationally while her own husband, Shane's thoughts seemed to go down the completely wrong path.

He was still deep in thought as he took out a large book from the new quantum bracelet he acquired in Terebrean.

In the end, getting a new quantum bracelet was not difficult because one could just purchase one.

However, more problematic was the creation of a new ID if one lost his quantum bracelet and memory at the same time.

If nobody searched for this individual with amnesia, the government would issue a temporary ID to get citizenship on the Island or even Canir, where it was also possible for something like this to occur.

There was always the possibility to lose memories after being injured by a powerful beast or even manipulated which was why everyone would be tested after one stated to have amnesia.

Shane and Dalia acted like they had amnesia and entered the B-grade city they were currently inside with Shane's heavy injuries and Dalia's haggard appearance to show that something major happened to them.

Their mana fluctuation revealed that they were stronger than a normal citizen and they could apply for citizenship without issue after making up a story that they defeated guardian ranked beast and that they sustained their heavy injuries through that.

In the end, they lost their memories and their quantum bracelets broke which allowed the government to think that their story was true and that it had to be a strong guardian-ranked beast with an ability that is based on one's mentality.

As such, it was not problematic for them to receive temporary citizenship, only for Jason to enter a different city, to make it less suspicious as he had the same 'issue' as his masters.

Making up a story that he ran away from an unblemished beast with a mental affinity, his acting skills allowed him to receive citizenship faster than anyone.

Now his name was Jason Laere while Shane and Dalia's family was now Biar.

It would only be temporary until they claimed to have regained their memory in order to receive their old identity back but until that happened, a long time might as well pass.

As such, the three remained rather lowkey and Shane took Jason over to the B-grade city, where they purchased a house with their temporary citizenship once everything was cleared.

Money and strength could give one everything within cities and Jason's masters had both of those which was the sole reason to allow them to purchase a house without permanent citizenship or ID.

Now that Shane sat on a chair in front of Dalia and Jason with a thick and old looking book in his hand, Jason couldn't help but feel a little bit excited because he hoped that his master would find a perfect curse for him, which sounded stupid and weird to himself.

However, thinking about a curse, his question still remained and he looked at Dalia who was also looking at Shane but with a rather complex expression as he asked.

"Dalia? Can you explain to me everything about curses because I don't really know much about them? In the Vanguard school, something like that was never a topic and I've only read it one time in one of the books I received from you…"

Being able to distract herself from Shane who acted like he was searching for something grand even though he wanted to curse his own disciple, Dalia couldn't be more than happy as she turned towards Jason to answer his question.

"To be honest, mankind doesn't know much about curses and I can't really say for sure that everything we know is true, which you can probably already estimate.

Just think about our wrong cultivation system, the existence of an unknown number of more planets just like Argos, and the difference in our knowledge about the foreign races.

However, according to our knowledge and what we found out until now, there are all kinds of beasts, plants, and even inanimate materials that harbor curses and even blessings!

While curses have an evil nature and try to create destruction, horror, and all kinds of negative emotions and scenarios, blessings are the complete opposite because they're innately good and helpful for mankind to have.

Blessed or cursed inanimate materials are said to be less powerful than living beings but we don't know if that is really true.

Nevertheless, there are many legends about blessed beings and how powerful one became by forming a soul contract with one, which even included a strengthened mana core, higher mana absorption rate, and much more.

However, such beings are extremely rare and Shane took several decades to find a guardian-ranked cursed wolf even if he could have bound a lord rank beast at that time.

Because he is stubborn and wanted to experiment with something, he was adamant in binding the bane of thousand eyes wolf which was in the end not a bad decision even if it could have transferred the curse towards Shane…"

Glaring at Shane for a moment, she cleared her throat to start once again

"Back to the main topic! You probably know that we can inherit a beast's affinity and there is also a low chance to inherit an ability from the contracted soulbond if it possesses one.

The same applies to curses and blessings which is the reason for everyone to search for blessed animate beings.

Other than that, it is also possible for cursed beings to forcefully curse others even if it's less powerful than an inherited curse one receives through a soul connection, and the same applies for blessings!"
