Villain Cultivator Chapter 615

Chapter 615 – Secrets of Mysterious Dao Curse and Love-Hate Stars

An elderly man with long white hair and a white beard had been sitting on a colorless cloud. His thumb touched his fingers, counting fate, karma, and luck.

He slowly opened his eye. Then, he looked up and gazed at the bright starless void.

"Lord Pangu. I'm afraid that you're overdoing it."

A clear laughter voice echoed, "Why? Because I allow my chess piece to use the game system?"

"The Heavenly Dao Curse is too much. If it can affect everybody that competes against that chess piece, won't it affect my chess pieces, too?"

"For that, you don't have to worry. Ma Moxi won't get the curse."

"Oh?" Hongjun stroked his beard and tilted his head, "How does this curse work? Why did it affect your descendent, but it doesn't affect Ma Moxi? Also, your descendent is also a protagonist. Why does the curse work on him?"

"Simple. That curse only affects [Players] with a game system. Ma Moxi and others don't have the game's system, so they will not be affected by the curse. Also, this curse will be implemented as one of the unique abilities of antagonist NPCs to hinder the [Players]'s growth. Regardless of whatever status the [Players] are, the curse will override any buff and perks of Heroes, Protagonists, and Main Characters."

"… That's a biased treatment."

"Antagonists need to be domineering and menacing. Otherwise, those undying [Players] will steamroll the game and end the universe before the schedule."

Hongjun nodded. He let out a sigh of relief as Ma Moxi was out of danger.

Still, Hongjun needed more information about the game so that he could let his chess pieces prepared for the upcoming [Immeasurable Calamity] that they had been preparing.

But Hongjun still had doubts, "Could you teach me how Mao Miaomiao controls his curse?"

Floating next to Miaomiao was the detail of the Impression and Hatred System, which all NPCs of Pangu Online could use.

Miaomiao checked the details and grinned. Now, he had the authority and power to dictate the fates of players while he could reap some profits.

This was the reason why Miaomiao didn't kill Pan Mei right away. It would have been a shame had Miaomiao never used this perk before he killed Pan Mei.

Secondly, the description of the small windows next to him interested him.

For every player with 7 hatred stars you killed, you obtain one player's true soul. The true souls can be exchanged for many items from the Heavenly Shop, such as the Heavenly Dao Spirit Stone, which can be used to promote a pseudo-sage to a sage.

'I guess I'm the kryptonite of players. Now, I know why the NPC System sees me as an antagonist.'

Miaomiao grinned. He wondered if permkilling players would kill their real bodies in the other dimension as well.

At this moment, Miaomiao wishes that he could consult Mu-Nyang about Pangu Online's players and their homeworld. He wondered what Mu-Nyang did in the other dimension to end the game since Miaomiao couldn't read this cathulhu's karma and the memories from the other timelines.

This cathulhu god was more mysterious than Kishin Douji!

He turned his gaze toward the dune and the coiling fire snakes on the bamboo. As Pan Mei was still in a daze and had been staring at his system screen, the mandragora didn't attack them.

Since Pan Mei was still shocked by the debuff level 3, Miaomiao decided to make a move first.

Going all out, Miaomiao pressed the stopwatch and froze everybody's movement and time.

But instead of subduing the mandragora in the dune, Miaomiao kicked the ground and charged at Pan Mei!

"You're an eyesore. Die!"

SOEK

Miaomiao summoned Killer Queen and stabbed Pan Mei's chest with her. The katana punctured through his heart.

Qi and blood of Pan Mei flowed into Killer Queen and Miaomiao. The latter took his time to drain every drop and strand of Providence Qi and Soul Essence Crystals from Pan Mei's dantian space.

The process took time. Miaomiao spent 50,000 seconds, aka 50,000 years of lifespan to empty Pan Mei's dantian.

Sensing that Pan Mei's dantian no longer had any soul essence crystal or element Qi left, Miaomiao added another curse to Pan Mei.

Death Curse!

"Let's see what you're going to do once your lifespan and luck reach zero, gamer. Go back to your saved point!"

SWUA SWUA

Miaomiao chopped Pan Mei to a thousand pieces. Then, he turned around and approached the dune.

He shoved his hand into the dune and grabbed the nearest hard thing. With only one hand, Miaomiao yanked the mandragora out.

The 5-story tall plant came out, but it couldn't scream as the time was still frozen.

Miaomiao gazed at the mandrake in admiration. He thought of ways to tame this mandrake or how he could extract its seed.

Unfortunately, the clock was ticking. Every second, one year of his lifespan was lost.

Since time was precious, Miaomiao pressed the stopwatch to resume the time and manually activated Chrono Domain instead.

As soon as the time domain was active, the mandragora and Pan Mei could momentarily move and sensed the flow of time.

Unfortunately for Pan Mei, he could only see one notification screen before his vision turned black.

Pan Mei's thousand pieces of flesh glitched as if they were digitalized objects.. He vanished from the universe.
