Chapter 377 340 – King of Creation

After finishing all his miscellaneous business, Takumi officially stepped through the space-time gate and entered a brand-new world.

The instant he arrived—before even a billionth of a second had passed—Takumi sensed that his [Curse of Love (Red)] attribute had activated.

"The last time I felt it this clearly was when I killed Bell."

"Why did it activate automatically this time before I even did anything?"

Takumi thoughtfully recalled the description of [Curse of Love (Red)].

[Your love shall remain eternally unchanged, and through it, you can change everything!]

Apparently, because the number of his romantic partners kept growing, the power of this attribute had also begun gradually upgrading.

It was starting to shift from passive alteration toward active interference.

The instant he entered this world, [Curse of Love (Red)] transcended the existence of the "protagonist" and began rewriting the entire world around him.

The timeline and fate themselves twisted and corrected under the power of [Curse of Love (Red)].

"Fate will twist according to my subconscious and guide everything toward the path I desire."

As Takumi murmured in a low voice, his figure disappeared from the spot.

"Huh!? Where is this?!"

As a young man's voice rang out, Takumi's vision brightened.

He had arrived inside a bedroom. Standing before him was a black-haired boy who appeared to be around fifteen or sixteen.

"Who's this?"

Takumi instinctively used his Emerald Eyes to examine him, and the boy's information instantly appeared.

[Name: Yuuki Kagurazaka]

[Level: None]

[Attributes: King of Creation (Gold), Anti-Skill (Purple), Protagonist's Halo (Purple), Psychokinesis (Blue)…]

[King of Creation (Gold): Allows the user to create any skill, including Ultimate Skills, based on their own knowledge and what they have witnessed.]

[Due to the host's current lack of ability, it has been downgraded to "Creator" and cannot create Ultimate Skills.]

[Anti-Skill (Purple): An extraordinarily unique constitution capable of nullifying an opponent's magic and abilities.]

"What kind of ridiculous attribute is this? This damn ability is way too overpowered."

Merely reading the description was enough for Takumi to clearly understand that both the lower and upper limits of [King of Creation (Gold)] were absurdly high.

If the current Yuuki Kagurazaka were not so weak, he would probably have taken off immediately.

But precisely because Yuuki himself was currently so weak, Takumi had been given this opportunity.

At that moment, the newly summoned Yuuki's mind was still frantically trying to understand his situation.

The instant he was summoned, he understood the basic system of this world and sensed the ability he had acquired.

"Creator!"

Yuuki murmured inwardly, and his formerly ordinary human body began undergoing rapid modification.

Within Takumi's field of vision, Yuuki's level suddenly jumped and changed to "Intermediate."

In less than a few seconds after arriving in this world, he had used that ability to cross an entire threshold.

Yuuki's gaze finally became clear as well.

He met Takumi's eyes, revealing a trace of caution and confusion.

"Were you the one who summoned me here?"

"No, it was me!!!"

Kazalim, who was currently in spiritual form, raised her voice to announce her presence.

She also had absolutely no idea why an unfamiliar man like Takumi had appeared here.

Kazalim had once been the princess of an elven kingdom.

But one day, her father went mad. She was mutilated and killed, then reborn as a Deathman.

Afterward, her father foolishly provoked the Dragon Princess Milim, intending to turn her into a puppet under his control.

The result was that he enraged Milim and was destroyed along with his entire kingdom.

Kazalim had been fortunate enough to survive and learned the forbidden art [Birthday].

Using that forbidden art, she revived several of her subordinates and began a wandering life.

At the same time, she discovered that if the spell was performed carefully and the body was finely adjusted, it was possible to restore the person's original appearance.

But her own current body was shriveled and hideous, leaving her looking exactly like a dried corpse.

Clearly, when her father cast the spell on her, he had not paid attention to her at all. He had practically tortured her for amusement, casting the spell without making any adjustments whatsoever.

Later, over the course of a long time, she relied on her own power to become one of the Demon Lords and was known throughout the world as the "Curse Lord."

And after that… her luck collapsed.

A newly risen Demon Lord named Leon appeared. Having been a Demon Lord for a long time and grown arrogant, Kazalim decided to take him down a peg.

Instead, Leon defeated her in a single blow, turning her into a wandering spiritual body.

She harbored resentment.

But more than resentment, she still had hope.

And so, she tried every possible method to survive.

Using the remnants of her power as the "Curse Lord," she spent a long time preparing for her own resurrection.

Then, relying on her hazy consciousness, she performed one final summoning.

But just as her spiritual body was about to collapse, Takumi had suddenly appeared in front of her.

She had gathered all her remaining strength and charged forward, originally intending to possess the person she had summoned.

Instead, Takumi suddenly appeared in her path, and the impact nearly shattered her spiritual body completely.

"Last time, I was careless and didn't dodge… but this time… I'm just too unlucky…"

Completely exhausted, Kazalim let out a mournful and despairing wail.

Takumi's expression nearly broke as well. With a wave of his hand, he first gathered Kazalim's dying spiritual body into his palm and began nurturing it.

"Looks like she's a woman… and she seems to have some fairly good skills."

"Unfortunately, she's currently only a spiritual body, and her condition is too terrible for me to see her status panel."

After thinking briefly, Takumi immediately turned his attention back toward Yuuki, who was still assessing the situation.

Yuuki seemed to sense that something was wrong and immediately put on a smile.

"Um, it looks like you saved me. You seem to be a fellow otherworlder too, right?"

"Unfortunately, no."

After uttering those three words, Takumi reached out to grab Yuuki.

Realizing the danger, Yuuki immediately began struggling. Surging psychokinetic power erupted outward, while his modified and powerful physique unleashed astonishing strength.

"Creator!!!"

At the brink of death, Yuuki erupted with unimaginable potential.

Through [Creator], he concentrated his mind and used his own willpower to transform his body.

He evolved from a human into an [Enlightened].

Then he evolved again into a [Saint].

In an extremely short time, his body evolved to the point where he no longer needed to breathe and could easily shatter rock.

He also instinctively activated the extraordinarily unique constitution he had just acquired, "Anti-Skill," attempting to seal Takumi's magic power.

Unfortunately, before the absolute difference between someone above the Demon King class and someone only at the level of an Intermediate-class Demon, Yuuki's struggles were utterly futile.

Even after obtaining the strength of a High-class Demon, it was still only a difference between someone above the Demon King class and a High-class Demon.

Yuuki had merely changed from a tiny ant into a slightly larger ant.

Takumi grabbed him and instantly refined him.
