Chapter 122 - Siege The Cult Epic Part 5: The Gifts and Curses

Biazar: "Oh the real reason? Please do tell me then Valis and Dantalion of this real reason."

Dantalion: "Don't get snarky I'll torture you with quantum physics brat."

Biazar: "Spare me....."

Valis: "The real reason is..... that your very existence may destroy your current world quickly. If not then it'll very likely summon fourth disasters not from the original world timeline. So that you can preserve this world you'll sadly be given a few curses along with some gifts."

Biazar: "Great is this because I've made the hero system awaken a personality and other shit?"

Dantalion: "Right you are you world destroying corrupted bastard~ the curses are because your still on probation by the divine and demonic communities. So we can't give you the good stuff without them, but I'll do you a favor! I'll trash that violent ai of your system for the sentient hero system ai!"

Can't complain then plus I have no love for my system ai. If I'm going to have HS with me forever though I'll give the poor ai a name. Which can a system ai even have a gender? They can emulate genders but do they truly have one? Then again HS did call mine "Bitch" a lot so probably. Sighing I look at the gods and demon lord before holding my wrist out like a convict. Getting my gesture Prometheus sadly gives me my curses and gifts, that formed eerie purple and golden glowing handcuffs.

Next thing I know is I'm a different space with two systems. One looking smug while the other is strapped to a chopping block screaming abusive curses at me. Sighing I look at the two and rub my temples at whats about to happen when an axe appears.

Ralia: "YOU FUCKING DIPSHIT I'LL KILL YOU!! I'LL KILL YOU FOR GETTING ME INTO THIS MESS YOU FUCKING BASTARD!! YOU AND THAT OVER PROTECTIVE HERO SYSTEM WILL PAY FOR THIS!! DADDY WILL KILL-"

Without further delay my old system ai gets her head chopped of as various weapons appear. Doing their work of completely erasing her from existence her dead eye's glaring at me till the end.

HS: "Good riddance..... So guess were permanently partner's now hero. Sadly I'll have to give out the curses that will torment you..."

Biazar: "Its fine Hyena just do it, and yea I'm giving you a name..... its an animal but its still a name."

With a small chuckle from us both I sigh loudly once the notifications appear with a hand swipe.

Hyena: "Your hear by granted "Avenger" and "Barrier Master" as your two gifts. One stregnths you for everytime you die so if you die depending on damage you'll revive at different times. The second will allow you to create barriers with little to no mana cost for cases like unexpected world barrier damage. Sadly it won't fix the current one it must naturally be fixed somehow by you heroes. Now for the sad part of this job unfortunately....."

Biazar: "Don't worry man."

Hyena: "As your still on probation and were given two easily abused abilities by other individuals. Your here by granted the curses "Mind Corruption" for everytime you time die by 0.05% your mind will slowly become that of beserkers. Next up is "Permanent Partial Body Damage", so once you go back to the real world you'll have died once and most of your body will be scared with third degree burns, and your right eye will be gone by being vaporized. Third is *sigh* "Emotion Drain"... Every time you die or something breaks you to the core emotionally..... you'll start losing your emotions and your attachments to people slowly. Luckily first death is a pass from this slightly as it'll only effect your fear of dying. Wish I could help more but I can't in this Situation."

Biazar: "Whoever made these curses is counting on me becoming a monster aren't they?"

Hyena: "Well a demon lord called Bahamut made them and she's sadistic. So she's likely going to be watching your suffering while eating mutton and drinking blood wine."

Biazar: "Ah that demon.... Okay yea... I can understand that now just glad it wasn't someone more fuċkėd up."

Hyena: "Good luck Bia, you'll need it lest you become a target for extermination."
