Will of chaos

Chapter 1099 Cap 1097: Do You Have Any Idea What You Did!?

?

I was surprised to be seeing this Cocoon now, but I really had forgotten that it had been in my shadow for so long, I always had so much going on around me like what happened to Elizabeth and Caitlyn, the Church of Light's attack on the Floating Island and the fight against the Creatures of the Abyss in the village of the White Elves, all of this not to mention the problems with the Elf Queen, extremely prejudiced against those who have Affinity with the element of Light. 

Aside from all the great things happening around me, I still spent my free time training, studying magic, or spending time with the girls, now looking back I think I was always taking my time way beyond what I should have. 

"Looks like I'm late." (Elizabeth) 

"I can't believe I missed his idiot face, you were supposed to let me know when Zenos came." (Natasha) 

"It was too much work, babysitting this cocoon is enough, I don't want to bother being its messenger." (Caitlyn) 

"Why are you here?" (I) 

"For fun, there are few things I haven't seen in my life and this is unheard of." (Natasha) 

"I just want to know what you did..." (Elizabeth) 

Natasha and Elizabeth appeared out of nowhere, each with their own entrance, Natasha came falling from the sky making a small crater as she landed before closing her wings, while Elizabeth appeared as a drop of blood pierced my skin falling to the ground and forming a puddle behind where Elizabeth passed completely dry. 

The expression on their faces was also very different, Natasha had an amused smile on her face, I'm sure she would know what this cocoon is since she saw all the battle I had with that Judge, but from what Caitlyn implied she refused to tell the others. 

Elizabeth had a serious face, she didn't know about the cocoon but her eyes and the way she talks makes me think she knows something but I'm not sure what she knows. 

Also, it looks like Elizabeth isn't happy with this cocoon and she's letting it show in her serious gaze, I don't care too much about it and I don't even know why they're so upset, the cocoon looks a little different than the last time I saw it, but it was still just garlic that I used to seal the Judge during his torture. 

I looked back at the pod that was once the size of a person but was now nearly 5 meters tall, it was definitely different in many ways, and I mistakenly don't know what happened to this thing. 

"Start by telling me what this thing is." (Elizabeth) 

"First you know why everyone is worrying about this?" (I) 

"You didn't tell him?" (Elizabeth) 

"I wanted to tell him before, but someone knocked me unconscious, and then I had to wait for him to wake up, so I thought I'd bring him here to see that way it would be easier to explain." (Alice) 

"I apologize for how I did it, I should have used a less aggressive way to test my Little Brother." (Elizabeth) 

"In other words, you don't regret or care about what you did, you just care about how you did it, I can't tell if that's arrogance or just a lot of pride." (I) 

"Please don't insult me, there's nothing arrogance in my body or mind, that's the worst poison for someone with power and authority." (Elizabeth) 

"But it's okay to have a healthy amount of pride, being who I am pride is to some extent fully justified as well as necessary." (Elizabeth) 

She talks so much nonsense like she's saying something obvious, but I couldn't care less about pride, honor, arrogance, or any of that nonsense, so I'm going to get this thing back on track before she starts rambling on about her nonsense of always about Ruler of this or Ruler of that. 

"Would you please explain things to me, Alice?" (I) 

"I seem to be missing a part of the events." (I) 

"I explained a little superficially on the way, but it all happened…" (Alice) 

--------------- 

To sum things up, Alice told me that the cocoon devoured anyone who came close to it, it also seems to have even devoured the Corrupted Souls along with part of the chains of Hell, that's probably where this presence of Hell that I've been feeling came from. 

This cocoon devoured the bizarre creatures, devoured the gray creatures that emerged from the shadow gates, devoured even the Corrupted Souls, and even devoured the chains of Hell, this thing is very greedy and seems to move purely on instinct or it wouldn't try to eat something that came in of damn Hell, I was more than surprised, to say the least. 

"So you mean a Taboo Hunter came to try to destroy this Cocoon for stealing the Corrupted Souls that had already been captured by the chains of Hell?" (I) 

"Yes, that's exactly what happened." (Alice) 

"..." (I) 

Sigh 

I don't know what reaction to show, in fact, I don't even know what to think, the more I hear of Alice's explanation, the more I imagine what the horror movie poster for this freaking Scary Cocoon would look like. 

But even so, I don't feel like destroying the cocoon, I feel there's some kind of connection, but I can't tell if it's still because of the Curse or if that connection could be something else. 

"Can you tell me why you kept feeding this thing to the enemies? Also why were you feeding the prisoners who tried to take advantage of the mess!?" (I) 

"Don't look at me, I preferred to go fight the enemy army." (Natasha) 

"It was better than killing them, it was also interesting." (Caitlyn) 

"We were going to kill them all the same, so I thought I'd test how much this thing can eat." (Elizabeth) 

"You are idiots?" (I) 

"No matter how you look at this goddamn pod, everything about it screams "SUSPECT", did you expect to see a sign hanging "please do not feed this creepy pod" somewhere?" (I) 

"We might not know what that was, but it has your Aura, Authority, Holy Power, and clearly your blood as well, so whatever it is, it's not going to be an enemy." (Caitlyn) 

"Besides, I already knew it was the Judge's cocoon and I figured it was the Curse getting stronger, as it's yours so no problem." (Natasha) 

"Wait, now that you mention it, I didn't use my Holy Power or Authority on this Curse, so how come..." (me) 

"I'd like to know more about the Curse itself as it seems to be at the heart of this issue." (Elizabeth) 

"You said that there was a person from the Temple of Law there, but I don't feel the presence of anything close to that in there, I would like to know more about this Curse." (Caitlyn) 

I understand them wanting to know more about the Curse, even I can tell you that no matter what caused this change in the pod, it will most certainly be the Curse's fault or at least partially to blame. 

"(But I don't remember the Curse having something like that.)" (I) 

"The name is "Curse of Blood: 4 Hells", a Curse that I created myself due to the studies I did while spending time with Érica and Lilith." (I) 

"Makes sense, their focus is Curse." (Alice) 

"Erica almost never stops her magic studies, so whenever I want to spend time with her I know what she's going to like, she always wants to study magic with me or do things that don't matter to either of you." (I) 

"I don't care what sex you have with your wife little brother, I'm older than this continent, I want to know about the Curse." (Elizabeth) 

"Okay, the Curse got its name because there are 4 curses layered and interconnected, each Curse uses a different type of energy." (I) 

"These energies are Mana, Ki, Spiritual Energy, and Demonic Energy." (I) 

"Each energy amplifies the power of the related Curse." (I) 

"Mana for a Curse that affects the mind with torture coming from people's worst fears, something similar to what I experienced with Caitlyn's magic, but the difference is that there is no way out of the Curse that becomes stronger the more fear one feels, at least that was the theory." (I) 

"The Ki was the simplest, it attacks the body with a Curse that literally destroys the entire body as slowly as possible without killing the target before pulling them from death's door healing all damage before immediately starting the cycle over again." (I) 

"Spirit Energy was more complex, it was a Curse to affect the Soul, I didn't know how to do it separately, so this Curse simply strikes the Soul with all the pain and suffering felt because of the other two Curses, in other words, the more a person suffers in body and mind, it means that his Soul will be suffering even more." (I) 

"The Demon Energy was complex, the Curse was meant to amplify a normal trait of Demon Energy, corruption." (I) 

"When you break something and fix it never the same, it was with that in mind that I made the last part of the Curse corrupt little by little the mind, body and Soul each time it was broken." (I) 

"The core of the Curse that united all 4 into just 1 was the Survival Instinct, all 4 curses instill the survival instinct by making the target never give up and fight to the end even if there is no way to survive." (I) 

"The Curse is designed to consume whatever Demonic Energy corrupts to power itself up until there is nothing left of the target, while the Curse only grows stronger until the target can no longer stay alive, it was for the Curse to dissolve at that time." (I) 

"Can you teach me this Curse later?" (Caitlyn) 

"Now the pieces fall into place, what did you do?" (Elizabeth) 

"Do you really have no idea what you've done?" (Elizabeth)
