Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

Chapter 859 Blood & Poison

Chapter 859 Blood & Poison

??Michael was ready to move when the six Tier-6 Awakened of the Tritan Alliance combined their power to deal with the Hyuman. He hoped for the best, but it was also obvious that Hyumen of the Supreme Human Alliance received better resources, training, and techniques. It was impossible to compare a Peak Tier-6 Hyuman with a Peak Tier-6 Awakened from a backwater galaxy.

It was also important to pay attention to the Hyuman's age. Even though it was common knowledge that Awakened aged slower, their temperament and energy density made it easy to gauge their age.

Michael guessed that the Hyuman was younger than 50. He was fairly certain in his guess, which made him believe that the young Hyuman was an elite of the Supreme Human Alliance. With that in mind, Michael's worries increased.

He wanted to trust and rely on Palika and his people but was nonetheless prepared for the worst-case scenario. He unleashed True Extraction Domain using all Cursed Seals to spread his domain as far as possible. He proceeded to use Swallow Domain, bypassing the restraints of Field of Domination for a quarter of a second. Swallow Domain required too much curse power to use continuously, but Michael was fortunate enough to have Permute, and he could produce curse power using Permute.

Michael did exactly that, using Permute to create more curse power to release Swallow Domain again, devouring more of the Field of Destruction, preparing for what awaited them.

The dazzling light of Palika's Energy Palm hindered Michael a little, but he managed to course enough energy and curse power through his eyes to see the Hyuman alive and well – somewhat. A chunk of the back of his head was missing, but Michael doubted that the Hyuman noticed that. Too much adrenaline coursed through his body to feel any pain.

It was a shame that the Hyuman didn't die. Still, it was already surprising enough that the Hyuman underestimated Palika and the others to sustain a lethal injury in the first place.

Fueled with rage, the Hyuman appeared behind Palika and was about to kill him. That was when Michael made his move.

"I didn't obtain his energy influx!" Palika roared as the Hyuman emerged behind him, "Yeah, cause I'm not dead, you disgusting parasite!"

The Hyuman's words swallowed the subtle noise made by Cosmic Stride. The Hyuman was so focused on Palika and the other Tier-6 and Tier-5 Awakened that he barely noticed his Field of Domination disintegrating around the Tier-4 Awakened…or that the only Tier-4 Awakened on the battlefield appeared behind him.

"That's okay," Michael said lightly, his hand lunging toward the Hyuman. It would have been best to pierce the Hyuman's brain through the open hole in the back of his head, but Michael wasn't too concerned even after the Hyuman spun around, his eyes widened in surprise when Michael grasped his face tightly.

"Because I'm here."

All Cursed Seals and Serpent Seals were unleashed to their fullest, alongside the curse power of the Major Seals. He didn't activate their special ability but unleashed the fury of his Curses' Essence to make his move.

It might be considered a foolish move to face a Peak Tier-6 powerhouse because he was too weak to do something against the Hyuman. Michael realized that as well. Maybe he could put his life on the line and request aid from his Curses to deal with a Lowest Tier-6 Awakened, but he would have to surrender some of his essence and self to the Curses to fight the Hyuman head-on.

Michael was unwilling to go that far if he didn't have to. He didn't want his Curses to gain anymore power. It was near-impossible to hold them back already. How was he supposed to contain them if they gained a whole portion of his existence to control? Michael couldn't afford to lose control.

Fortunately, that wasn't needed.

A Divine Lifeform could easily deal with a Peak Tier-6 Hyuman, and it would be a walk in the park to do so as a Tier-9 powerhouse. Even a single droplet of blood from a Tier-9 Lord – infused to kill – was enough to obliterate a Peak Tier-6 Hyuman. Nothing else mattered.

That was exactly what Michael had used. He had coated his palm in one of the items Selena had given him; a vial with a droplet of her blood…infused with her curse power.

Her blood infused with curse power was green and didn't look anything like blood in the first place. But its appearance wasn't important. It was more crucial that Michael wasn't harmed by the blood and that it was incredibly harmful to others.

The blood was sentient, and his existence and connection to the Nest Leader were acknowledged. It also sensed Michael's use of Insert and his intention when he connected the droplet of blood to the Peak Tier-6 Hyuman.

Michael's soul power within Insert and the Soul Sphere, in its entirety, was drained instantly. A moment later, his reserves of curse power were sucked dry, and even the power accumulated within the Curses' Essences was emptied.

It all happened in an instant. Then it was over.

The blood droplet of the Nest Leader followed Michael's will and forced its way into the Peak Tier-6 Hyuman, who sensed that something terrible had just happened instantaneously.

He pushed Michael's hand away and tried to pounce at him to slay Michael, but neither his body nor his Soultrait listened to him anymore.

A pained scream, fueled with desperation, confusion, and rage, escaped the Hyuman's lips before he collapsed to the ground, writhing in pain. He tried grasping Michael's legs again, but the moment the Nest Leader's blood detected his intention, a wave of uncontrollable pain swept through him. Over and over again.

"I don't like you. Still, a small piece of advice," Michael stared at the writhing Hyuman with a smile, "Stop attacking me or anyone of the Tritan Alliance if you want the pain to stop."

The Hyuman bellowed and tried attacking Michael again, but the Nest Leader's blood was faster. It cut through the Hyuman's energy path and tore him apart from the inside without ever damaging him seriously enough to eliminate the Hyuman.

"I inserted the blood of a Curse User into your system. I wonder what it does to your Primordial Bloodline technique," Michael chuckled.

His words were enough to silence the Hyuman. His eyes widened in terror, and Michael could clearly see him trying to exert the Primordial Bloodline technique.

It worked. As a matter of fact, everyone could use the Primordial Bloodline technique. However, it wasn't nearly as effective as it had been before.

"NOOOOO!!" The Hyuman screamed at the top of his lungs, lunging at Michael, only to be assaulted by pain from the Nest Leader's blood.

"The Curse User's blood is also poison. The poison of a strong Divine Lifeform. It's sealed by a promise and will slay you instantaneously if you betray the Tritan Alliance."

Michael's smile widened.

"If you are responsible for the death of another Berserker and Warlock Centaur, no matter what way, you will die."

"If you try to attack a good citizen of the Tritan Alliance, you will be consumed by pain and lose your sanity."

"A single mistake and death will be your only resort."
