Chapter 690 Not Alone

Evalynn Fang stared at her son through glassy eyes.

"You have changed."

"That's not a very nice way to say hello," Michael responded.

"No. That's not what I meant. Your Curse. Something about it changed. And why can I sense another presence inside you?"

It was not difficult to understand what Evalynn was talking about. However, Michael didn't expect the changes of his Curse to be so easy to perceive. He could barely sense the changes.

Meanwhile, Michael had known that his mother would sense the World Serpent. The Living Image contained countless seals. They weren't accessible, but the Living Image wasn't stored deep inside Michael's being. Instead, it slithered through his back as it pleased. Michael figured that his mother could sense the World Serpent's seals.

The seals were not like the Cursed Seals, which were linked to create several chains that covered Michael's entire body upon activation. The World Serpent's seals formed the Living Image, which was greyed out under normal circumstances. Only by activating the Serpent Seals, the only ones Michael had access to, did a single scale light up.

He didn't plan to activate the Serpent Seals, but the World Serpent had different plans. It activated the Serpent Seal to speak into Michael's mind.

[No need to be startled. I won't attack your mother. It would be best not to get killed by that menace.]

Was the World Serpent talking about his mother? Michael was startled that the World Serpent activated the Serpent Seal without his permission, but he figured it made sense.

'It is not talking about my mother.' Michael figured.

It was almost like the World Serpent talked about something else – to someone else.

"You have two Curses? That cannot be. W– I sensed only one Curse inside you before. What did you do? Where did you get this...thing?!? It is not even sealed!" His mother was hysterical. She charged at Michael and grasped his shoulders tightly.

Various emotions flickered in her eyes, but Michael couldn't pinpoint how she felt. Was she confused? Afraid? Disgusted? In disbelief? Or was there more to it?

Michael was unsure.

"It is not as violent as the Curse. There shouldn't be a problem for now. Furthermore, I don't think that the Worl— That it is a Curse. I summoned it. It is ...hiding inside me, I guess?" He felt that saying 'World Serpent' aloud would cause trouble. The World Serpent tugged at the back of his mind, telling him not to reveal anything.

His mother knew much more about their bloodline's Curses. She was probably right if she said he wasn't strong enough. Michael might not trust her, but he had to consider her opinion. It would be foolish to be full of himself or childish and ignore his mother's opinion.

Michael decided to put his emotions aside for Daniel's sake. He wasn't going to lose him. Not again.

"You said you can strengthen Danny in the Miniature Coffin Keychain. As long as you can keep his Living Soul stable while extracting the curse...it should be fine. But you need to find a better vessel to attach the Curse to. Otherwise, the Curse will tear Danny's Living Soul in shreds before you can extract it properly," Evalynn said after pushing her worries aside.

She knew that the Nest would seek her youngest soon, but that was not something she could change. However, she can help Michael rescue Danny. Her past actions might have harmed her children, but she did everything to protect them from the worst evil. Evalynn had always tried to protect them from the worst. Unfortunately, Cursed Children had never been able to escape their fate.

"Once extracted, the Curse will spread and seek another host to consume. Prepare the vessel beforehand, otherwise, Danny's Living Soul won't be the only casualty."

Michael was just about towards say something when the World Serpent's voice resounded in his mind.

[As long as you bring the 'Curse' towards our playground, we will deal with it, little one.]

The corner of his lips curled upward.

"I will insert the Curse inside me," Michael said.

Evalynn frowned deeply, "Don't be greedy. No one can handle two malevolent Curses. I don't know what is happening inside you, but you've will not accept Danny's burden. It will kill you!"

Michael flashed his white teeth.

"Don't worry. I'm not alone," he declared. We are not going towards accept his burden either."

"We will devour it!"

**

[A/N: What the hell is going on? Give me your best guess concerning the happenings in the following chapters. I'm curious what y'all think will happen. Will Michael start extracting Danny's Curse? Will he devour it? Will the extraction fail? What if this fails? Will Danny be dead forever? Will Michael never see himself again?

WHAT IF this succeeds? Will Danny be the same?]
