From a distance, the Witch God's expression changed drastically as she noticed the countless ethereal chains emerging from the surrounding wasteland. She instantly realized what was happening. Her husband had once again triggered the curse rooted in his soul!
"Damn it!"
Without hesitation, the Witch God Skull, looking extremely grave, rushed towards the scene with Little.
Little's face turned pale as she asked, "Dad—is it happening again—"
Clearly, she had witnessed similar scenes more than once. Especially when her father fell into chaos, his endless rage uncontainable, each time he tried to break free from the dark world's bindings.
Those ethereal chains would appear and then brutally suppress him back into the world. It was the physical manifestation of the curse! And the shackle that eternally bound them!
The Witch God's eyes shimmered with determination as she gritted her teeth, "Let's hurry—we have to get there fast—this damned fool—of all times, he chooses now— Hopefully that youngster—hasn't been caught in it—"
Hearing that, Little's face turned even paler, her expression filled with panic. The image of Lynne surfaced in her mind, filling her with unease.
"Doctor—"
They sped along rapidly.
Finally, after a few minutes, they crossed the burning wasteland. As soon as she stepped into the area, the Witch God Skull immediately sensed something unusual.
In the past, when her husband was consumed by madness, the curse it triggered was invariably terrifying, usually torturing him to the point of severe injury before ceasing.
But, unexpectedly, just as she entered the area, she felt the violent curse strangely weaken. Though the reduction was not significant, it was an unprecedented occurrence. Surprise filled her eyes, she couldn't quite understand what had happened.
"We're here!"
The Witch God Skull, along with Little, rushed to the edge of the crater she had created. Her gaze was intense. As soon as she saw the scene inside the crater, the Witch God Skull showed a look of shock.
"This..."
In the center of the crater, the Titan Skull was still bound by the massive chains, his eyes fluctuating between chaos and lucidity.
Nearby, on the ground, lay Lynne in an exhausted (x﹏x) state, his mental energy depleted. At that moment, his left hand was frantically crawling, dragging the unconscious Lynne towards a safer area.
"You pathetic host! o(≧口≦)o Did you think you could just swoop in and remove this big guy's curse? That's an Origin-level curse! Too naive! After all this, you're going to need a feast of five tons to win my forgiveness!"
Swipe, swipe, swipe—
His left hand valiantly dragged Lynne towards safety.
Witch God Skull: "…"
Little in astonishment said, "Oh—It's Doctor Brother's moving left hand—"
At the center, the Titan Skull had clearly gained much lucidity. Apparently, the weakening of the curse provided significant relief to the curse that would have taken much longer to suppress under normal circumstances.
"What exactly is this…" The Witch God Skull was full of surprise.
...
An hour later.
As a trace of mental energy circulated in his mind, Lynne slowly regained consciousness. The first thing he saw upon opening his eyes was Little's (ω) two-story-tall face.
"Hmm—Doctor—you're awake—"
Before Lynne could fully come to his senses, he heard the system's notification.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the achievement: Origin-level Curse Reduction. You have earned 200 Experience.]
[Origin-level Curse Reduction: A special achievement for using limited-time curse abilities on highly cursed beings and successfully partially reducing the target's curse. You have gained a permanent boost: Spirit +5, Physique +2.]
[Ding! You have successfully recorded the curse: The Bonds of the Undying.]
Lynne instantly snapped awake and sat up straight, opening his eyes wide as he asked, "How is Sir doing now?"
As he finished speaking, a deep, questioning voice came from behind him.
"I am fine—"
Lynne turned his head. He then saw the Titan Skull not far away, looking at him solemnly. The eyes of the Titan Skull had regained clarity, clearly having emerged from the previous chaos.
Perhaps it was just Lynne's perception, but he could distinctly feel that the Titan Skull now seemed to possess a hint more wisdom and valor compared to before. This was evident in the way he looked at people. No longer with eyes heavy with suppressed rage and malice, but rather with a semblance of... Humanity.
The Titan Skull gazed deeply at Lynne, asking, "You weakened—my curse?"
Due to the curse, his anger was difficult to contain. Whenever his boundless rage was triggered by some catalyst, he would instantly fall into immense madness, constantly tormented by his past anger. This made him agonizing.
But just when the curse was about to envelop him, driving him towards madness, this young man somehow managed to weaken the intensity of the curse! Although the reduction wasn't significant, it had instantaneously increased the proportion of clarity in his consciousness.
Lynne, rubbing his aching forehead, calmly said, "I just tried it out, didn't expect it to actually work. It's a different ability; I can temporarily remove curses from a target for 24 hours. But my current strength is too weak to completely remove the curse on you. However, it's probably weakened by about 15%."
Upon hearing this, shock and surprise instantly appeared in the Witch God Skull's eyes.
"How is that possible..."
She was the Witch God. She knew better than anyone the terror of the curse tormenting them. The curse granted them eternal life but also bound them tightly to this dark world, driving them into madness. Even she couldn't completely suppress this curse. And yet this human, who was close to Little, had managed to...
The Titan Skull gazed solemnly at Lynne and asked, "Does that mean—if your power becomes strong enough— you could completely remove the curse from us?!"
Lynne thought for a moment and then smiled, saying, "I believe so."
Confidence. It was a profound confidence radiating from within. Like a beacon of hope suddenly lit in the depths of hell, this statement brought a hint of emotion to the Titan Skull, his eyes reddening slightly. He moved closer to Lynne. He didn't know where this human youth came from or how many secrets he hid. Yet, all of that seemed irrelevant now in light of Lynne's words.
"But I'm curious, you knew I was in a state of chaos and still rushed over without hesitation. Aren't you afraid of death?" He looked at Lynne with a complex expression.
Lynne's mouth curved slightly in a smile. "Of course, I'm afraid of dying. But I thought since I have the ability, why not take the risk? I am a doctor"
He lifted his head, his face breaking into a comforting smile. The wind whistled past his cheeks. That comforting smile, at that moment, seemed as bright as the sun.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the achievement: Never Miss an Opportunity to Show off. You have earned 200 experience points.]

Lynne: "……"
[Ding! Titan Skull's Favorability towards you +30]
[Ding! Witch God Skull's Favorability towards you +40]
The Titan Skull looked at Lynne, his eyes suddenly reddening. Especially upon seeing Lynne's sincere smile, a warmth he hadn't felt in many years suddenly emerged in his scarred heart.
Could it be... in this hell, there exists such pure and wonderful beings? Just for such a simple reason. Just for kindness. He had reached out to help him without hesitation... This young man... He...
Slap—
A slender tentacle patted Lynne's shoulder. The Titan Skull, with tearful eyes, said to Lynne, "No more words needed—with what you just said—I consider you my friend now—If anyone dares to bully you outside, just use my name—"
He wiped his tearful eyes, saying, "If you don't mind, from now on, call me Big Brother, and you are my Son-in-law—let's become sworn brothers!"
Lynne, deeply moved by the atmosphere, extended his hand, trembling, "Big Brother!"
The Titan Skull, his eyes red, responded, "My Son-in-law!"
For a moment, it felt like the touching music filled the air.
Boom—
Boom—
Two loud noises.
The Witch God Skull, rolling her tentacles, closed her eyes, and her head erupted with several "╬" symbols.
Meanwhile, Lynne and the Titan Skull were blown dozens of meters away, (x﹏x) with smoke billowing from their heads.
The Witch God Skull, eyes closed and tentacles curled, (〃′皿`)q said: "Hopeless—both of you with short-circuited brains—"
"…"
At the entrance of Wandering Soul Lane.
Lynne extended his hand with a smile, waving goodbye to Little and her parents, saying, "This is as far as I'll go, Little, Sir, Ma'am. I live at Wandering Soul Lane, No. 55. If you ever feel like it, you're always welcome to visit me!"
Little (‸)) said, "But Doctor—I don't want to leave you—"
Lynne reached out, (๑╹◡╹)ﾉ patting her head, and replied, "Little, be good. We'll see each other again. I'm your dentist, after all. You can come to see me anytime."
Little, of course, couldn't stay with him indefinitely. As comforting as it was to have an Origin-level friend nearby, Lynne was aware that their presence in this Dark World would inevitably attract unwanted attention from other powerful beings.
Moreover, the Titan Skull and the Witch God Skull couldn't possibly stay. Their unique conditions meant that if they accidentally descended into chaos, the entire Wandering Soul Lane might be leveled to the ground.
The Titan Skull gazed at Lynne deeply, cautioning, "You need to be careful—Your recent actions against that—organization with my daughter—have surely drawn unnecessary attention—But remember what I said—if anyone dares to bully you—just send a message to your Big Brother. None shall live to tell the tale."
Lynne was deeply moved by these words. Finally, he felt like he had reliable support in this Dark World.
Eagerly, Lynne asked, "But how can I contact you? Should I write a letter?"
A brief silence fell over the group.
As Lynne wondered why the atmosphere had suddenly quieted, Little (ω) said, "We can't read—without a translator—very troubling."
Lynne was taken aback. Indeed, for Origin-level beings, there was no real need to learn the language of this Dark World. They had no reason or need to integrate.
After a moment of thought, Lynne suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right!"
Without another word, and to the puzzled looks of Little and her parents, Lynne rushed over to the pile of items he had scavenged, rummaging through them.
Finally, after relentless searching, Lynne pulled out several black, unremarkable-looking stones.
"This is…" The Witch God Skull hesitated.
Lynne gave a slight smile and said, "Vision World Stones."
[Vision World Stone]: A mysterious material that can connect to the Vision World. By using it, one can upload their consciousness into the Vision World, and each visit to the Vision World requires a Vision World Stone as a medium.
Exactly!
The informant had mentioned that the Vision World was the fastest way to communicate over long distances in this Dark World. Simple, efficient, and incredibly useful.
...
A few minutes later.
[Vision World]
A massive eyeball hovered above the pitch-black sky of the plaza, its turbulent gaze shining like a massive beam of light, illuminating the entire area.
The plaza was bustling with moving shadows, while beyond its bounds, darkness obscured everything.
It was late at night.
Yet, the Vision World Plaza was still dense with shadows, representing a wide area including Wandering Soul Lane in the world of consciousness, teeming with life.
At that moment, many shadows were still discussing the scene released by the informant earlier.
"So, you're saying that yesterday, right here, those three Origin-level Headhunters appeared?"
"Yeah, you saw that footage too, right? It was in Wandering Soul Lane, just next door!"
"Reliable sources say that the Demonfolk Association's headquarters has indeed been destroyed. I have a contact from the Demonfolk Association, and he says he can't contact their leader anymore. He's terrified, thinking he might be eaten at any moment!"
"I guess a lot of dark creatures will be coming here to investigate soon!"
"Wait, if those three Origin-level Headhunters are in our area… do you think… they might also come to the Vision World?"
The statement was met with silence, followed by waves of mocking laughter.
"Don't joke! Are you out of your mind? The Vision World is the only order in the Dark World! How could those truly chaotic beings come here?"
"Exactly! It's ridiculous! I've never heard of an Origin-level being coming to the Vision World, not in the past and certainly not in the future!"
"Right! Do you think all Origin-level beings have a conscious will like us? Most of them are indescribable, bizarre conglomerates. How could they come here?"
"If those three Origin-level Headhunters really come to the Vision World, I'll do a handstand and poop, then roll a hundred somersaults around the plaza! I swear, not even God could stop me!"
Laughter filled the air, creating a lively atmosphere throughout the plaza. But in the next moment, everything changed.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—
Four massive rings of light suddenly descended upon the center of the Vision World Plaza.
As the light coalesced, three enormous heads, two large and one small, each towering like a small mountain, descended amidst the light into the center of the plaza.
[Vision World Announcement: Three Origin-level presences detected in Vision World Plaza No. 900. Current presence exceeds the area's capacity limit, triggering Supreme Will Protocol No. 11. Emergency expansion of Plaza No. 900 initiated!]
[Vision World Announcement: Expansion and upgrade of Plaza No. 900 complete. The area's presence capacity has been upgraded from a Level 9 to a Level 7.]
Accompanied by a thunderous rumble, the announcements resonated throughout the plaza. The eternal, unblinking eye above the sky shifted its gaze, focusing on the three colossal heads that had appeared.
The space of the entire plaza began to expand at an unimaginable speed. In just a few seconds, Plaza No. 900 expanded to a hundred times its original size.
"(ΩДΩ) Oh my god!!!"
"What! What is this!! Am I seeing... are those... the three Origin-level Headhunters?!"
"How is this possible?! We were just talking about this, and they actually arrived!!"
"Where's the guy who said he'd do handstands and poop while rolling somersaults?! Come out! You better roll a hundred somersaults today, or I won't let you off!"
The plaza, bustling just moments ago, emptied instantly. All the shadows huddled in terror at one corner of the plaza, their teeth chattering as they stared at the three formidable beings in the center.
"Who brought them here?! Who the hell brought these fiends to this place?!"
From a distance, the Witch God's expression changed drastically as she noticed the countless ethereal chains emerging from the surrounding wasteland. She instantly realized what was happening. Her husband had once again triggered the curse rooted in his soul!
