Chapter 1016 Primordial Curse, Bestikal
Michael was unsure what kind of place he expected to be trained at, but he certainly didn’t expect it to be near the Spring of Abundant Life. To be precise, the stomach of the Primordial Curse, Bestikal. The cursed fissures in space were temporarily sealed, blocking all external entrances to the Spring of Abundant Life like the one he and Selena had used.
The interior of the massive Primordial Curse Bestikal looked similar to before. The Spring of Abundant Life was still there, and the monster’s insides were still overflowing with curse power.
“Since you’re a Curse User and my children transformed into your Curses, they can absorb the Primordial Curse’s curse power to replenish their Divinity. They will channel their Divinity through you with low output at all times and slowly increase the intensity. That way, your Divinities will be nourished slowly, and your body will get used to the three Divinities. You may consider this unnecessary, but believe our experience, please.” Michael did not have a reason to reject Loki’s proposal. It sounded feasible. The more the God Curses used their Divinities through him, the more his Divinities would grow. That much was obvious.
“I understand. But won’t this harm the Primordial Curse? I mean…I don’t know how long we are going to train here, but if we stay here for a year or two and the God Curses use their Divinities by supplying the surrounding curse power to supplement the missing Essence…won’t Bestikal die?” Michael didn’t know Bestikal personally, but he owed the Primordial Curse a lot. Because of the Primordial Curse, he got Danny back and quickly acquired a high mastery of Curse Fusion in its stomach. “The Primordial Curse is aware of the sacrifice it has to make, but you do not have to worry about its’ well-being. Bestikal will not die from the time you spend inside it. The Primordial Curse is as old as the Primal. It does not wish to fight and is not at war with the Primal, but it has realized that the Primal have gone down the wrong track. Bestikal wants us to help the Primal change back to the beings they’ve once been. The Guardians of the Universe.” Michael nodded slowly, but his expression stiffened when Loki added.
“Furthermore, you are wrong when you say ‘one or two years’. You will stay in the Spring of Abundant Life, constantly churning through your Nature Heart and the Divinity of Nature for the next two decades. The Spring of Abundant Life is a creation of the Primordial Curse’s lover, the Everlasting Blessing. It wants you to use the Everlasting Blessing to connect it one last time with the Origin Expanse. That being said, the Spring of Abundant Life will help you transform your fragmented Divinity into a full-fledged Nature Divinity while accelerating the Untamed Jungle’s growth. You wish to create a Primal Region, don’t you?”
Michael scrunched the bridge of his nose, yet he nodded again. He did indeed wish to transform the Untamed Jungle back into a Primal Region. However, staying in the Primordial Curse for two decades wasn’t okay. That was too long.
“You don’t have to worry about anything. The two decades won’t feel like a long time. The God of Illusion, myself, the Beast Gods of Hallucination, Nightmares, and War…and a bunch other Gods will help you create a perfect mindscape where you can train your Soultrait Symbols to perfection while simultaneously nourishing your Divinities. Of course, we will also help you create perfect Soul Techniques and perfect Soullife Arts!” Loki said lightly.
“And if you are worried about your territory, don’t be. The Rebels have been waiting for someone like you for a long time. A very, VERY long time. We’ve prepared more than enough resources. Though….we might have to exchange a bunch of them because we expected you – not exactly you, but the perfect candidate for our counterattack – to be a Demi God on the verge of attaining Godhood. We hoped to throw a bunch of resources at him to prepare his territory for the loss of their Lord.”

We hoped to throw a bunch of resources at him to prepare his territory for the loss of their Lord.”
Michael nodded slowly, “But since I am not going to be thrown out of the Origin Expanse anytime soon, you won’t have to give me the same resources as you would have given the Pseudo God. Instead, you want my foundation to be perfect and my territory to be about to advance to a Primal Region. However, you are unsure what I will need since you have heard of my Super Awakened.”
Loki tilted his head.
“No…I wouldn’t put it like that,” Loki tilted his head left and right but nibbled on his lips. We can tell what you ‘should’ need, but we are uncertain if that would create the best result. All we can tell for sure is that we need your full consciousness here with the Primordial Curse and the Everlasting Blessing to prepare this body.”
That was when Michael broke into a faint smile.
He retrieved a few Soultrait Symbols and pointed at the Spring of Abundant Life – the Everlasting Blessing.
“I accepted my brother’s fate a while ago. At first, it didn’t feel like anything special, but something about my Soul and Soul Sphere changed. There has always been a tiny portion of my Soul that I could never fill. It always felt like I was missing something to fill it. Almost like it didn’t belong to this body.” “Do you mean a portion of your Soul belongs to your brother?” Loki asked while inspecting the Soultrait Symbols in Michael’s hands. His eyes narrowed and he turned to look at Michael, “What…are you trying to say?”
“I think you know what I mean. And no. My Soul only belongs to me. Nothing of it belongs to Daniel. However, a portion of my Souls does not belong to this body. It feels foreign to this vessel.” Michael looked at the Spring of Abundant Life again and glanced a second time at the Soultrait Symbols of [Soul Cutter], [Implant], [Prehistorical Vessel], [Second Chance], [The Extra’s Body].
Loki stared at him like Michael had lost the last bits of his sanity as he smiled vibrantly at the God of Trickery.
“Do you like Doppelgangers?”
