Chapter 98 – The Mysterious Skills
Outer Space, Trial Dimension .
The chained goddess turned her head toward her left side and smiled at the white orb, which was floating and glittering around her .
"There go you . I’ve helped them as promised . Now, it’s your turn . "
The white orb flashed . Afterward, one of the 36 black holes stopped rotating and returned to nothingness along with the giant chain that it had been holding on .
"Thank you for your patronage . It’s been a pleasure doing business with you, father . "
The orb paused . It flashed rainbow color for a while, then it spoke .
"Quarantine the infected . I don’t wish to see another emergence of a monster realm . "
"Quarantine this realm? Pfft! I’ll let them loose . I’ll turn him into a stud horse and that world into a domestic demon farm!"
The goddess laughed mockingly at the orb . The orb flashed again as if it was angered, and the strength of the tightened 35 chains got stronger, which made her flinched .
"Behave yourself!" The orb shouted .
"Excuse you! You’ve made me a creator of the demonkins, then you imprisoned me here because I gave birth to demons! Then you suddenly asked me not to create a world of monsters while you favor a newborn demon! I can’t help but laugh at your hypocrisy!" The goddess complained as she gritted her teeth in pain .
The orb did not speak anything else . It disappeared into nothingness .
’Ha! You don’t want a second Hell? The moment I’m free, I don’t even need to create another one ... because Heaven will not exist! I will even allow that brat to spread his sperms all over the places and infect everything that moves!’
The dark chains glittered and flashed as if they detected the killing intent of the goddess . They squeezed her with triple the forces they had been using up till now .
"Fudge! I know, I know, great father . I’ll behave! I’m sorry!"
The chains loosened a little after she cried out .
’Grr . If it’s an ordinary God, I can kill him with ease . Why did father pop up here out of nowhere!?’
The goddess cleared her mind and concentrate on her guard duty . Her divine sense entered the dimensional system once again .

May 1st . 3 AM .
Tong came back to his sense in the middle of the night . He found himself naked on top of Hua Shi, who was panting in ecstasy, was lying under him .
She had unusual pupils . They were dim as if she was hypothesized or mind-broken, just like one of those perverted stories in a certain tentacle-worshiping country in his previous life .
"Sunday, can you hear me?"
Tong tapped her face and called her with the hope that he could wake her up from her trance .
There was no positive response from her . She was still in a trance . Everything she said at the moment was too obscene as she seemed to have given up herself into her desire .
[You finally awake . I’ve been waiting for hours, damn you!]
The system gave him a sudden message, which surprised Tong . He immediately asked for help .
"System, do you know what happened to me? Why did I suddenly lost control of my body? What was the headache I had been having?"
[Slow down, stud . I’ll answer you one at the time . ]
"..."
[Before that, check your status . It will save me times . ]
"Hmm? My status?"
Tong opened his status .

Tong was shocked when he could not find his [Aura Mastery] skill . It was replaced with the unknown [Demonic Curse] which he had no idea how did this skill appear .
"Umm, system-sama . May I have your explanation?"
Tong did not know what to think anymore . The past events about his sickness were unexplainable . Even Hua Shi could only delay the symptom of the head pain .
[The information you are requesting is a grand secret of your entire realm . Only a few individuals knew about this . In facts, only 4 immortal which including me knew about this! Even those gods in your world have no clue about this! The price for the information is 1,000,000,000,000 lifespan!]
"Err . . . I have only 100,000ish lifespan?"
[Well, too bad, so sad . No info for you!]
" . . . "
[Just kidding . I’ll give you a free info then . ]
[Each time you lose control of your body, I will sacrifice one of your hard-earned skills to get you back to yourself . You did lose control of your body just now, so I took away your [Aura Mastery] as a fee . ]
[But you won’t actually lose out anything . Each time I sacrifice a skill of yours, you will get a new skill . What you will get? I have no idea either . It’s up to your fate!]
[Oh, by the way, I’ve undone your "Lust" curse on the girl . She will wake up in a couple minutes . ]
[Goodbye!]
"Wait! WTF!?"
The system voice was cut off . Tong felt like he was talking to someone on a telephone, but he got hung up on .
The situation was confusing to him . His aura skill which he had invested his lifespan into was turned into an unknown useless skill .
The skill description was somewhat mysterious . The [Demonic Curse] could apply various kinds of curses to the targets . Each curse name sounded OP and powerful . However, there was the [Demonic Seal] which rendered all of the curses unusable .
’Increase my mental fortitude to unseal the abilities?’
Tong’s eyes focused on the details, "The seal will be weakened if the host increases his mental fortitude . " . It was a hint that if he had stronger mental strength, he could use those curse skills in the future .
’But what does this have to do with my headache and my previous loss of consciousness?’
Tong stared at Hua Shi on the bed, who seemed to be somewhat mind broken because of the intense activities . Tong tried to call her and snap her back to her sense for another minute .
Hua Shi came back to her sense later, but she dragged Tong back into the actions again, without realizing what Tong had gone through .
. . .
. . .
The system goddess cut off the connection with Tong . She grumbled and swore random curses as she was in a bad mood .
The first reason was Tong’s skills . There were two other curses that did not show up in the system menu because it related to the top secret information .
Secondly, Tong had already 10% mutated . Her father had to put a seal on him, or else he would transform into a monster for real .
The next annoying issue, Tong’s awakened form had natural ability to digest the system power and convert it into his own power . The [Aura Mastery] was not deleted by the system, but his soul devoured it and turned them into [Demonic Curse] skill instead . The system goddess had to diverge everyone’s attention by putting the skill into the display in the system, so she could hide the two taboo curses that had not appeared in the system menu .
And lastly, it regarded the cause of Tong’s sickness . This information she withheld was only known by only four individual, her father, Michael, Morning Star, and herself .
This information was branded as top secret . Even if Tong had enough lifespan to buy it from her, she would not tell him as their conversation was being broadcasted onto the other dimension .
"It has to be that fudging fallen angel! No one else dares to violate the taboo! Why the fudge has he sunk this low!? Does he think he can create another himself this way!? FFFFFUUUUU I want to return to Hell and beat up that brat!!"
"Michael, you incompetent impotent angel! You can destroy Hell anytime you want, yet you let that brat goes on a rampage! You can kill Tong anytime you wanted, yet you left him alone!"
"Father!! You’re a dOck! You definitely knew about this but you let him loose! Fudge you, you hypocrite! Do you think you can convert him into another Michael!? Father, you are a fool! Didn’t you see how much of a moron he is?"
"Fine! All of you are a dOck! I don’t care what games you all play . Whatever happens in that world is none of my responsibility! I’ll let those two demonesses loose! I’ll let that goddess loose! I’ll make sure Tong turned into a monster that you all wanted!"
The goddess continued to scream and roared out random cursing . The chains around her already tightened her with maximum output power, but the goddess was so mad to the point that she forgot about the pain .
It was fortunate that the outer space did not contain any medium for sound to travel and a great seal by her father was placed on her . Or else, several galaxies nearby would have been destroyed by her voice .
