I Can Copy Curses

Chapter 263 : A Glimpse of Peak Power

"NO!"

Grey Orion's scream echoed far and wide as he watched in horror as his legs began to disintegrate. It wouldn't be long before he turned into nothingness.

"Just die."

Merlin pulled his hand out of Orion's chest and tossed his body aside in disgust.

"Haha, I finally killed him. That brat was a thorn in my side the whole time."

He sneered grimly, recalling how he had to beg Orion to show mercy to his daughter.

Glaring at the clone, which was also slowly disintegrating into nothingness, he mocked, "Where is your strength now? Your so-called abundant energy? In the end, I'm the final winner."

Only the head and torso of Grey Orion remained, but he looked at Merlin with cold, malevolent eyes.

"Merlin, I will kill you like a dog, just you wait," he spat, his eyes burning with intense hatred.

"You're dying and still thinking of killing me?" Merlin said with disdain.

"Are you sure about that?" Grey Orion smirked with deadly intent.

"What do you mean?" Merlin asked, confused.

"Merlin, look behind you," Rosaline said, her voice trembling.

"Behind?" A bad premonition rose in Merlin's heart as he turned around.

To his shock, Orion's body was bathed in golden light.

"This!" Merlin couldn't comprehend what was happening. He was sure he had crushed Orion's heart with his own hands, making the scene before him even more shocking.

Orion, bathed in golden light, was undergoing an amazing transformation. The gaping hole in his chest slowly began to close until it appeared as though it had never existed.

At that moment, Orion opened his eyes and looked at Merlin with a ruthless expression.

"I was naive to think things were settled between us, but you brought me back to reality. You showed me that humans never change," Orion said, his words cold and emotionless.

"So what? You can't do anything to me," Merlin sneered.

Orion ignored him and turned to Grey Orion, whose hands and legs had regrown. "Kill him."

"My pleasure," Grey Orion smirked and shifted his attention to Merlin.

"You've dug your grave."

No sooner had he spoken than a dazzling array of colors began to radiate from his body—red, yellow, dark, purple, and more. Each hue pulsed with its own unique energy, merging into a kaleidoscope of power that surged uncontrollably. The air around him crackled with intensity, and the ground beneath him trembled as the energy swelled within him.

In an instant, this volatile force erupted, shooting skyward like a beacon of raw power. The multicolored aura spiraled upward, tearing through the clouds and illuminating the heavens.

The sheer magnitude of the energy was overwhelming, a force of nature unleashed with unstoppable ferocity.

"This!" Merlin's eyes widened in disbelief as he witnessed the immense raw power erupting from Grey Orion. The sheer magnitude of it was unlike anything he had ever encountered, leaving him stunned.

"This much power and energy!"

Even Rosaline, usually calm and composed, was visibly shaken by the overwhelming energy surging from Grey Orion.

Only Kane looked on with a solemn expression.

Grey Orion turned to Merlin with an eerie, ruthless smile. "Are you ready to die?"

"You're dreaming if you think you can kill me," Merlin retorted, though overwhelmed by Grey Orion's energy and aura, he refused to believe he was strong enough to kill him.

"I'll kill you first, then," Merlin said, slapping his palms together.

"Space Line."

All around Grey Orion, space began to compress and distort, not from the overwhelming energy he was emitting, but as a result of Merlin's calculated attack.

Merlin's mastery over spatial manipulation allowed him to bend the very fabric of reality, creating an invisible force that sought to crush Orion within its grasp.

The space surrounding Grey Orion twisted unnaturally, closing in on him with relentless pressure, trying to sandwich him into oblivion. The crushing force was a direct attempt by Merlin to contain and neutralize the immense power Orion was unleashing, using the environment as a weapon to kill him.

But as it stood, the space twisting around Grey Orion, threatening to crush him, suddenly shattered into particles. The warped fragments of space disintegrated, dissolving into nothingness, unable to withstand the sheer force radiating from him.

In an instant, the distorted surroundings returned to their natural state, as if the assault had never occurred.

"How is this possible?!"

Merlin was shocked and in disbelief to see his attack neutralized before it even reached Grey Orion.

"Heh, that's all you've got?"

Grey Orion sneered and began walking toward Merlin.

"The great Merlin the Magician amounts to this?"

He sneered and clenched his right fist.

Almost instantly, Merlin felt an overwhelming force closing in on him from all sides, as though an invisible hand had gripped his entire body.

The air around him grew impossibly dense, and the ground beneath him seemed to lose its pull. His body began to lift off the ground, suspended against his will as the intense gravitational force took hold.

The immense pressure restricted his movements, leaving him defenseless as he floated helplessly in the air, entirely at the mercy of Grey Orion's power.

But Merlin wasn't one to be defeated easily. With a click of his tongue, the gravitational force suddenly stopped, and he stood straight as if Grey Orion's powers didn't affect him.

"Interesting."

Grey Orion muttered.

"I'll kill you!" Merlin shouted. He felt insulted that a nobody at the silver rank had made him feel threatened.

"Absolute Space - Black Hole."

He held his hands together and shouted.

The space between him and Grey Orion began to twist and warp uncontrollably, distorting as if reality itself was being bent by an unseen force.

The air grew heavy with tension as the space rapidly compressed. It continued to compress, twist, and warp before suddenly shattering, creating a vacuum.

This vacuum started pulling everything toward it with terrifying force. Dust, debris, and shattered remnants of the ruined Emperor Heaven Palace were all sucked into the void, swirling violently as they were drawn into the empty space.

"No, this attack... You've perfected it," Rosaline said in shock. "But everything and everyone here will be sucked into that black hole if you continue!"

She appeared anxious as she looked at the hole devouring the space around them.

Even Kane seemed surprised by the attack.

"It is indeed a very powerful technique, breaking the very fabric of space with each passing second, and it's also devouring the space around it."

He added, "Merlin, you should stop. You don't seem to have much control over this technique. It will only get worse as time passes, and I believe this level of space distortion will attract unwanted guests. So, stop while you can."

"I will, but not before they die." Merlin said with a crazed, ruthless expression.

Grey Orion sneered as he saw the black hole forming. He felt no fear, nor any emotion that could cause fear, for at that moment, he stood at the pinnacle of power in this world.

Not only were all of his curses active in his Curse Transformation mode, but each one of them was operating at their absolute peak, in their Burst Mode. This amplification pushed them to their highest potential, saturating him with unimaginable power.

Every curse he wielded was now fully unleashed, resonating with raw, unstoppable force. The intense energy coursing through his veins made him feel as though he had control over everything around him.

In that moment, Grey Orion felt invincible, as if the very fabric of reality would bend to his will with nothing more than a thought.

But with that immense power came a risk—a severe side effect that had forced him to avoid using this level of strength until now. It wasn't merely the fear of losing all of his curses if he pushed them to Burst Mode.

No, it was something far more catastrophic than that.

Orion stared at Grey Orion, feeling the immense strength radiating from him, and clenched his fists in determination. The form that Grey Orion had taken represented the pinnacle of power Orion himself would one day achieve.

What he witnessed was just a mere glimpse of the future—one where he could wield all his curses without the restrictions imposed by his body and mind.

This vision filled him with resolve. He knew that reaching this level would require immense effort, but the potential he saw now was a promise of the overwhelming power that awaited him.

The thought of mastering his abilities to this extent, where nothing held him back, ignited a fierce desire within him to push beyond his current limits.

'Time is all I need.'

Orion clenched his fists, his eyes burning with intense determination.
