I Can Copy Curses

Orion looked directly into Kane's frowning eyes and said, "You can't do anything here—nobody can. She has to die, and no one can stop that."

Merlin became even more desperate, seeing that even Kane couldn't change Orion's decision.

On the other hand, Kane's frown deepened when he heard Orion. He hadn't expected the situation to escalate to this point.

Still, he tried to reason with him. "Orion, listen to me, killing Lu—"

Kane couldn't finish his words, for he saw a crazed expression on Orion's face as he muttered something.

"Explode!"

All the people enclosed in purple spheres began to shine with a bright purple light, rays reflecting off them.

"No!" Kane shouted, not just for Luna, but because his younger brother and sister were still inside the hall. If all the purple spheres exploded, there was no doubt that the entire palace—what remained after Merlin's attack—would be completely destroyed.

Though they were protected by their father, the Emperor, he still felt worried.

'A wall of wind will suffice.'

Kane acted without hesitation. With a swift motion, he swung his sword toward the crowd where the guests had gathered, their eyes wide with a mix of fear and fascination as they watched the chaos unfold.

The blade cut through the air with a sharp whistle, and in its wake, a powerful wave of wind was unleashed.

As the wave approached the guests, it tore through the space between them, scattering loose debris and sending ripples through the crowd.

At that exact moment, all the purple spheres exploded.

BOOM!—

A resounding boom echoed throughout the entire Emperor Heaven Palace, shaking its foundations with the sheer intensity of the sound. The air itself seemed to vibrate with the force of the impact, as if the very atmosphere was being torn apart by the violent shockwave.

In the next instant, a brilliant purple flash of light erupted, engulfing the entire area in a blinding, otherworldly glow.

The flash was so intense that it seemed to momentarily freeze time, the entire scene bathed in pulsating purple radiance that shimmered and flickered as if alive.

The energy within the light crackled, sending arcs of golden lightning skittering across surfaces, leaving scorched marks and crackling embers in their wake.

The boom and flash together created a moment of sheer sensory overload, a chaotic mixture of sound and light that left all who witnessed it stunned and momentarily blinded by the overwhelming brilliance.

However, it was this brilliance that caused pure destruction. The entire hall of the Emperor Heaven Palace was gone, replaced by a huge crater.

The air above the crater was thick with swirling purple smoke, remnants of the destructive energy that had torn through the palace.

Scatters of golden lightning crackled intermittently within the smoke, like the last remnants of a storm that had passed, their brilliance contrasting sharply with the dark void left in the wake of the explosion.

All the people on the other side of the hall sighed in relief as the shockwave of the explosion that had been coming toward them suddenly stopped midway, resulting only in small gusts of wind that caused minor disturbances. Other than that, they were completely unharmed.

But their faces told a different story; what they saw made their hearts grow cold with utter despair.

Almost 80% of the guests had succumbed to Merlin's threats and attacked Orion's family. However, only a handful remained alive. The rest had disappeared—not even their bones remained—all disintegrated in the calamity that had just passed.

The remaining guests gulped nervously as they looked at each other. They understood what this meant. If they had followed Merlin's command, they too would have joined the others in the afterlife.

Meanwhile, some pondered the consequences and aftermath of the event.

Orion had not only killed them but also managed to erase nearly 30% of the overall strength from all three domains, all by himself.

Although these 30% consisted primarily of mid-range combatants—not the peak powerhouses of each domain—the impact of this feat was undeniable. Orion's actions sent shockwaves through the balance of power within the three domains, weakening them significantly.

The loss of such a significant portion of their forces would have long-lasting repercussions, crippling their ability to defend against future threats and maintain their influence within the universe.

As some were busy contemplating the future, they suddenly saw a golden beam of light descending from the sky into the purple smoke that filled the crater.

As the golden light descended, the smoke surrounding the crater scattered, revealing Orion, Merlin, and Kane standing there.

Orion watched the golden beam of light with a shocked expression on his face, for he saw Luna's figure there.

A medallion hung over her head, rotating with a brilliant golden light.

"Ah, the War Medallion is working!" Merlin sighed in relief when he saw it, but his expression quickly turned savage.

He understood that while the medallion would revive his daughter, she wouldn't be the same person after her revival.

Resurrection of the dead had always been considered a profound taboo in this world. The very concept of bringing someone back from the dead was seen as defying the natural order, something feared and condemned by all.

Even the most powerful treasures among the eight primordial cosmic wonders were incapable of fully restoring the dead to life.

These ancient relics, revered for their immense power, could not achieve complete resurrection. At best, they might reanimate a body, but the soul and essence of the person would be fractured, incomplete—never truly the same.

Overall, the revived Luna would never be the same person again, altered in ways both subtle and profound, and forever marked by the forbidden act that brought her back.

"The War Medallion is reviving her," Kane said as he turned to Orion.

"You've doomed yourself and your family," he told him. "Not only did you fail to kill her, but you've also made enemies of the entire three domains, including the Celestial Court."

Orion's face darkened as he listened to Kane. He regretted nothing, except that fact that he failed to kill Luna.

"Orion, I am going to kill every single member of your family in front of you."

Merlin's raging voice echoed throughout the ruined palace.

Orion turned his head slightly.

"You still want to kill my family?" He smiled ruthlessly. "Believe me when I say, if I ever reach your level of strength someday, I will erase the entire Archons you are so proud of—even your eldest daughter who is bedridden right now. I won't hesitate to slit her throat with my own sword."

"You!" Merlin couldn't utter a single word when he heard him. A surge of rage and bloodlust clouded his mind, but sadly, he couldn't do anything to the person standing before him.
