I Can Copy Curses

At that moment, Orion remembered Isis, the Goddess of Immortality. He recalled how she mentioned something about the existence of gods and how only a few could ever see a god.

"Do gods really exist?" Ron asked.

"They do exist."

"They don\'t exist."

Ron tilted his head as he looked at both of them because the answer he got was completely opposite from each of them.

"Why do you believe gods exist?" The girl in the mask asked Orion. It was she who said the gods didn\'t exist.

"I don\'t know," Orion said, shaking his head. "But I do believe in the existence of gods." He just couldn\'t tell her that his belief came from meeting a literal goddess.

"If gods do exist, then no one would have to suffer in pain. But there are billions of people who have to go through something like that," she said, her voice shaking in anger. "If gods do exist, then why don\'t they do something for them? For those who are suffering to live a normal life."

Orion didn\'t know what to say to her. So he could only distract her mind from this.

"Let\'s read the rest of it," he said as he turned to look at the wall.

"I heard Isis—one of the seven Title Gods was sealed. I don\'t know the reason behind it, but I do know that the remaining Title Gods are coming for me now. They are coming for my sword, I believe."

"Me and the remaining seven Title Gods fought, and I ended up half dead as a result. But because gods don\'t die, I survive; however, I also get sealed in the end. But I managed to form a clone of myself at the last possible moment and let it hide in the mortal world."

"Later, I got to know the truth. A long time ago, a prophecy happened. At that time, I was just a normal Elder God and didn\'t have the power and position of the Title Gods. Because of it, I didn\'t know what the prophecy was about. But now I understand that the remaining seven Title Gods were after me because of that prophecy. Isis was also sealed because of that."

"I want to warn you humans. Your real enemies aren\'t the angel race, celestial race, or even the demon race; instead, the gods themselves are your biggest enemies. Be prepared, for a war may break out between the four races. Even though gods usually can\'t interfere in the mortal world too much, it isn\'t difficult for them to cause a war that could destroy all life from the face of the whole mortal realm."

"As for this sword of mine, it\'s said that the very first god to ever exist—Celestial God himself—wielded this sword to kill an ancient demon a long time ago. However, I don\'t know if it\'s true or not. Many gods took this story as folktales, like how you humans think of us as nothing but rumors and legends."

"Don\'t take the sword off the altar—a human can\'t control this sword, so just let it rest there until it finds its rightful owner. Alright, I have mentioned what I needed to say, and now I have to go. This clone\'s energy is fading away too fast. Remember to be prepared for a war at any time."

As Orion read all of that, a gasp escaped from his mouth. Not only him, but the other two had the same expression as him. They all felt shocked when they read what was written on the wall.

"Are all these true?" The girl in the mask asked.

"It should be," Ron said, his expression solemn. "The sword in front of us is our biggest proof that whatever God Shura had written here is most likely true."

On the other hand, Orion remained silent. He had no doubt that whatever was written on the wall was true. He had known about the sealing of Isis as he had seen her and talked to her in the dungeon himself. At that moment, he couldn\'t comprehend how a god could end up in that state. But now he understood the reasons behind her sealing.

\'Nine Title Gods? Ninety-nine Elder Gods?\'

At this moment, he really wanted to know what that prophecy was, for it needed the other Title Gods to seal down the Goddess of Immortality and the God of Slaughter.

As for the warning left behind by the God of Slaughter, Orion didn\'t know what to make of it. He couldn\'t comprehend the gods as their enemies. They were supposed to be almighty beings who should watch over mortals. But according to Shura, the gods were vehemently focused on erasing all life from the mortal realm itself.

"I have heard from my grandfather that we had a few cold wars between the celestial race, angel race, and demon race," the girl in the mask said, her expression serious. "But we had never had a full-blown war before between the four races. It was only a small scuffle between races all this time."

Orion frowned as he heard her. He felt that if what she said were true, then it wouldn\'t be difficult for the gods to initiate a war between four races. Seeds of chaos had already been planted between the four races; they would just have to do a little manipulation before a full-blown war broke out.

He also felt that they needed to inform the experts of the human race so that they could prepare if the war were really to breakout.

"We should take these writings as proof to the experts of the human race," he said, turning to face the girl in the mask. "Do you happen to have anything that could record this?"

He didn\'t know if the Magus Kingdom had smartphones or not, but he really felt that they would come in handy here. If they were to tell the higher-ups of the Magus Kingdom about what they had seen without proper proof, he believed they would be ignored hard. They were just kids, and who would ever believe kids saying a war could breakout between the four races at any time?

"I do," the girl in the mask responded to Orion as she took out a mirror the size of her hand.

She then tapped on the surface of the mirror, which caused it to float in the air as it released a beam of light that reflected the whole hall. Moments later, after the beam of light passed through everything, the mirror returned to normal.

The girl in the mask caught the mirror and put it aside. Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

"It\'s done," she said, looking at Orion.

Orion was surprised to see that a mirror could be used in such a way. From that, he concluded that although the Magus Kingdom appeared to have no technological development, they weren\'t far behind on the utility aspect. They appeared to have many alternatives to things that would usually require the use of science and technology, which in itself was a matter worth respecting for the culture of the Magus Kingdom.
