I Can Copy Curses

The energy Kane was emitting continued to grow, surprising even Merlin and Rosaline slightly.

The ground beneath him began to melt, and all the lightning attacking him couldn't reach him due to the overwhelming amount of energy he was releasing.

"Behold, for what you are about to witness is one of a kind."

Kane raised his sword and slashed downward in a simple but direct motion.

"World Apart!"

Like slicing through soft tofu, the black sphere that enclosed them was effortlessly cleaved in two.

The clean cut was so precise that the sphere didn't even explode; it simply disintegrated into nothingness, as if it had never existed.

Yet, the attack's devastation was far from over. The force of the slash continued forward, an unstoppable edge of destruction that seemed to rend the very fabric of reality.

The energy behind the strike was so immense that it appeared to be slashing the world itself in two, splitting apart everything in its path with an otherworldly precision.

Orion and his clone were both shocked and speechless as they witnessed the power behind that slash.

It was simply too overwhelming.

The shock in Grey Orion's eyes was particularly intense. He knew exactly how much energy he had put into that bomb, yet Kane had rendered it in half with a single slash. This made him realize that Kane might be the most dangerous person here.

Rosaline and Merlin's expressions also changed. Rosaline became serious upon witnessing Kane's attack, while Merlin's face turned extremely grim.

"Now, did you see that?" Kane asked.

"Even if you have a high level of energy, perhaps even more than us, you could never compare to someone who has been to Grimshore."

He added, "The full potential of a person can only be realized if they spend quality time in Grimshore. Otherwise, they remain mediocre their whole life."

Orion understood something from Kane's words. Grimshore must be a place that significantly enhances one's power, which explained the difference in strength between gold and platinum ranks.

Grey Orion also understood, but this realization made him frown. With Kane's strength, it would be very difficult to fight him. He might even die at Kane's hands if he was careless.

So, he wanted to avoid fighting—at least with Kane.

Looking at Rosaline, Grey Orion activated some of his curses in Curse Transformation mode and asked, "Will you put away the rope? I ask because if you do, I'll take Orion and disappear from here. But if you don't, I'll create as much chaos as I can. So, what's your choice? Chaos or letting Orion go?"

Rosaline frowned at his words. She understood the chaos he was referring to. There were still many important people in the palace, and while their strength wasn't at the divine level, their positions and the respect they commanded in each domain were enough to start a war if they died.

Grey Orion's words implied the same thing. If they didn't let Orion go, he would kill them, and she believed he could after witnessing his strength and the enormous energy within him.

"Don't let him get away," Merlin interjected. "He killed my daughter and so many others in the hall. He should at least be punished."

Merlin definitely didn't want Orion to escape, especially after seeing his potential and the clone he had. If the clone or even Orion himself reached Merlin's level of strength someday, he would have a great enemy.

Therefore, he wanted to kill Orion here and now, but since Orion was still in his intangible state, Merlin was powerless to do anything.

Rosaline also considered Merlin's words as she turned to Orion.

"So many deaths are on your hands. If I let you go now, how can I be sure I won't regret it?"

Orion shrugged. "They wanted to kill my family, so I killed them. It's as simple as that."

He then turned to Merlin and continued, "If there ever comes a day when other families, people, or anyone else wants to kill my family, I won't hesitate to exterminate them all. That's all I can say for now."

As if thinking of something, he added, "I am human, and I would never betray the human race, so you shouldn't worry about that. But remember, I will kill anyone who threatens my family."

Rosaline didn't respond immediately, pondering his words. She understood him, but she wasn't sure if it was enough to let Orion go.

"May I have a word?" Kane stepped forward.

"What do you want?" Rosaline frowned.

Kane smiled and said, "I have an idea where neither the Celestial Court nor Orion has to suffer any losses."

Rosaline's eyes narrowed. "Tell me the details."

Kane nodded lightly. "How about you return to the Celestial Court and inform them about Orion, but summon the Ten Seats Summit in the name of the impending war from the other races, not in the name of Orion. That would be a win-win for both parties."

Rosaline considered the idea and found it promising. This way, the summit wouldn't appear to be convened solely for Orion but for something much larger.

At that time, people would view Orion's issue as secondary, with the summit's discussion of the war taking precedence.

"Whatever the summit is about, I have to be present, right?" Orion asked.

Rosaline nodded.

Orion narrowed his eyes. "What if I'm found guilty at that time? What if the Ten Seats agree that I should be punished?"

"That's where I come in," Kane smiled. "I will represent you at the Ten Seats Summit, so you don't have to worry about anything."

"You will?" Rosaline seemed surprised.

Kane shrugged. "Since I'll be attending the summit anyway, it won't change anything if I represent Orion there. That way, I believe both parties can come to an understanding."

Rosaline frowned but eventually nodded. If that's what it took to bring peace, so be it.

"Alright, it's decided. We'll proceed as you suggested," Rosaline declared.

"I refuse."

However, a moment later, Merlin's refusal came.

"He killed my daughter and so many others, but you two are taking this too lightly. He should be punished heavily for this," Merlin protested.
