Gourmet of Another World

Chapter 1354 The Curse... Broke Out Completely?

Nether Puppeteer Patriarch never thought that anyone in this world would dare to intercept him. Looking at the fair palm that grabbed his hand, which was as withered as the bark of an ancient tree, his eyes became sharp in an instant.It was a girl’s hand, white as jade and with skin so smooth that it was as if it didn’t have any pores. The whole palm seemed to glow with a sparking light. Just by looking at it, one could imagine that the owner must be a stunning beauty. However, there was a faint turquoise light lingering on the palm.

Nether Puppeteer Patriarch stood where he was. He was only one step away from the Black Temple, but he was not in a hurry to enter.

‘Resurrecting Tian Cang? This idea downright goes against all the heavenly laws!’ The Way of Life and Death was governed by the supreme Powers of the Laws. It was very difficult for even those above the Great Saint Realm to resurrect a person, let alone a Great Saint. When a man died, his soul would be pulled by the Power of the Laws into a mysterious place. It was too difficult to bring back the soul, and a person would not resurrect without it. That was why he was not anxious at all that Tian Cang was being resurrected.

His eyes moved slightly, looking up the fair arm. First, he saw a black dress, then above that, a perfect collarbone and a slender, white neck. He glanced up further and saw a breathtakingly beautiful face.

‘She is indeed very beautiful! Oh?’ Nether Puppeteer Patriarch’s pupils suddenly constricted because under this charming appearance, he felt a fearful, oppressive aura.

Nethery’s pupils had turned green, and her hair, which had recovered after eating the Three-cup Chicken, had once again turned dark green. They waved gently behind her and, with her fair skin, made her look like a fairy.

Nether Puppeteer Patriarch narrowed his eyes. A smile came over his old face, and his lips parted, revealing his brown teeth. “Little girl, are you going to stop me?”

Nethery didn’t answer him, but her aura grew stronger and stronger.

“Do you know who I am?” said the Patriarch. His voice seemed to have magic, which could enchant those who heard it. Even then, a rustling sound rang out of his sleeve. The next moment, one metal bug after another crawled out of it, rushing madly toward Nethery’s arm.

Nethery remained cold and expressionless even as the bugs were about to touch her palm. Her long eyelashes fluttered, then her big eyes turned and fell upon the bugs. Suddenly, a dark green light emerged, and then all the metal bugs became stiff and fell to the ground from the Patriarch’s arm.

Nether Puppeteer Patriarch winced at the sight. He found that his divine will engraved in these metal bugs had been erased in an instant! ‘Did this girl do this?’ He was slightly shocked, but he quickly regained his cool.

“Scram!” Nethery finally spoke, looking at the old man in front of her. However, she only said one word. She was, after all, a girl of few words.

Scram? Nether Puppeteer Patriarch’s cheek twitched. No one had dared to speak to him like that for a long time.

“Little girl... You are digging your own grave. Do you want me to make you into a puppet?” he said coldly.

Boom!

A tremendous force erupted, lifting Nether Puppeteer Patriarch from the ground and throwing him away from the Black Temple before he could react. His figure arced through the air like a meteor, then smashed into the ground.

Nethery floated slowly into the air, her eyes cold and emotionless.

The attack of this level naturally did Nether Puppeteer Patriarch no harm at all. He rolled over, stood up, and gently swept the dust from his clothes. “What a hot-tempered girl... But I like it. A hot-tempered girl like you deserves to have her belly cut open, her entrails removed, and made into a beautiful puppet that others can admire like a work of art.”

He smiled faintly, then raised his hand and moved his fingers. In the sky, the Earth Nether Puppet holding the great hammer moved. Like a thunderbolt, she sped through the air and went toward Nethery.

Er Ha and Ice Saint turned pale. There was no way that Nethery could resist the attack of this fearsome Earth Nether Puppet. However, it was too late for them to help her because the puppet was already on her.

The puppet bent her attractive body, then sprung forward like a spring and landed beside Nethery, lifting her great hammer and bringing it down hard toward Nethery’s head. If this blow struck, Nethery’s head would certainly burst like a watermelon.

Er Ha and Ice Saint gasped at the same time. How could Nethery block the attack? Was she going to die like this? However, what happened next horrified them. They saw Nethery raise her hand...

Boom!

The hammer struck, but it was stopped by her hand! The blow that came with a terrifying force was blocked as if it was nothing!

“What?” Nether Puppeteer Patriarch’s cloudy eyes burst into a bright light. The Earth Nether Puppet, on the other hand, tilted her head, her mechanical eyes flashing as if wondering why her invincible hammer was blocked.

Nethery glanced at the great hammer, then at the Earth Nether Puppet, her eyes cold and emotionless. Then, she raised her hand.

Boom!

A terrible force erupted from her palm, accompanied by a turquoise light.

The next moment, the Earth Nether Puppet was hit hard by the light, throwing her back and smashing her into the ground. She slid far away and plowed a deep trench across the earth until she reached Nether Puppeteer Patriarch’s side and was stopped by his hand.

There was a deep green light surging on the hammer. Nether Puppeteer Patriarch stooped, stretched out his withered hand, and gently wiped his finger on the hammer. The light stained his finger and began corroding it instantly. The puppet’s body, which was made of the best materials, was also being slowly corroded.

“The power of the curse...” Nether Puppeteer Patriarch took a deep breath, looked at Nethery, and grinned. “So you are the Netherworld Woman, the so-called Source of Curses?” he said.

Instead of fear, he showed great interest when he learned Nethery’s identity. He squinted at her as she floated in midair, and he could vaguely see a dark green snake coiled around her.

“I can’t believe you have so perfectly integrated the power of the curse with your body... I’m becoming more and more interested in your body now... It really is a perfect body!”

Nether Puppeteer Patriarch stuck out his tongue and licked his lips as if he had found a target. He knew the Source of Curses. It was the source of doom, and whenever it appeared, it would be subjected to endless pursuit. It was hard for people who owned it to grow up, let alone integrate it with the body so perfectly. Therefore, Nethery’s body was as attractive as the deadliest poison to him.

He shook his arm. One metal bug after another immediately crawled out of his sleeve and onto the Earth Nether Puppet, covering her completely. Soon, the power of the curse was absorbed by them, and they became stiff and fell to the ground.

The puppet rolled over and jumped to her feet, picking up her great hammer. Her mechanical eyes flashed, and she was about to attack again.

“It’s alright, child. Back off. This is my prey...” Nether Puppeteer Patriarch said.

He didn’t expect such a pleasant surprise on this trip. Not only would he be able to sabotage Earth Prison Dog’s breakthrough and prevent Tian Cang’s resurrection, but he would also get a perfect puppet body. The smile on his face grew wider and wider.

The next moment, Nether Puppeteer Patriarch dashed forward again, leaving numerous afterimages behind him. In a twinkling, he appeared in front of Nethery, raised his hand, and thrust it toward her head. Waves of horrible pressure exploded out of him, while all the energy around them seemed to be drained by this hand. At this moment, it was as if the whole sky was falling over Nethery’s head.

Er Ha and Ice Saint were terrified. Their bodies were completely suppressed by the aura and could not move at all, and their eyes widened as they watched Nether Puppeteer Patriarch throw his palm toward Nethery.

Nethery’s hair was waving behind her. She raised her hand, too, and jerked it upward. The turquoise curse snake wound its way up her arm and collided with Nether Puppeteer Patriarch’s palm.

Rumble!

Powerful blasts swept out in all directions. The pressure waves seemed to turn corporeal, suppressing everything. At the same time, Nethery was surrounded by a circle of dark green energy. Even then, a burst of laughter rang out as Nether Puppeteer Patriarch’s palm slowly pushed Nethery back!

“Let it break out... You have more potential than you know...” Nether Puppeteer Patriarch grinned, revealing his yellow teeth.

Nethery’s face was cold, and her eyelashes were quivering. Under the pressure of the Patriarch’s palm, she kept moving backward, and it seemed that she would soon be pushed into the Black Temple.

“You can’t stop me if you don’t let it break out... The Black Temple behind you will be destroyed, and Tian Cang’s resurrection will fail. Once that happens, both the man who wants to be resurrected and the man helping him will die... Are you willing to accept that?!” Nether Puppeteer Patriarch said coldly.

His words lingered in Nethery’s ears, like magic sounds with bewitching power. The look in her eyes kept changing.

Ice Saint’s face flickered. “This old lunatic... He wants the Netherworld Woman’s curse to break out completely!”

Although Ice Saint didn’t know why Nethery’s curse could integrate so perfectly with her physical body, she knew very well that once the curse broke out completely, Nethery’s mind would be replaced by the Source of Curses! At that time, it would be too late to do anything to save her!

Nethery’s eyes were flickering violently, and even the turquoise energy ring around her seemed to be somewhat unstable. Nether Puppeteer Patriarch’s bewitching voice still lingered in her ears, making her heart beat faster and faster.

Looking at her struggling face, Nether Puppeteer Patriarch’s smile grew wider. “That’s right... That’s it... Let it break out,” he continued to persuade her, sticking out his tongue and licking his lips. Suddenly, a look of madness came over his face because he saw Nethery raise her bowed head.

“As you wish.” Nethery’s cold voice rang out, sounding as if there were two overlapping voices. At the same time, wisps of green smoke rose from under her skin, completely enveloping her.

Boom!

She pushed Nether Puppeteer Patriarch’s palm away and slapped him on the chest.

With a cracking sound, the Patriarch’s chest was sunken in. He was thrown backward, smashed into the ground, and kept rolling. After rolling thousands of meters, he turned over and burst out laughing.

“Hahaha... That’s it. That’s the perfect body of curses!” Nether Puppeteer Patriarch rose to his feet, and he laughed wildly as he looked at Nethery, who had a struggling look in her eyes as her consciousness left her.

If such a cursed body was made into a puppet, it would be more perfect than the Heaven Nether Puppet. At that time, he could even rely on this puppet to break through the higher realm!

Wisps of dark green smoke constantly rose from Nethery’s body and turned into a cursed snake, which kept sticking out its forked tongue and exuding an aura that was full of terror, disaster, destruction, and death.

Ice Saint was stunned. She seemed to think of something, and her face was covered with fear.

Er Ha, on the other hand, watched in disbelief. ‘Is Nethery girl going to turn to the evil side? What should we do? What can we do now?’ At this moment, he was at a loss.

All the sounds in the world seemed to vanish, leaving only Nether Puppeteer Patriarch’s wild laughter and the sound the cursed snake made when it stuck its forked tongue out.

Suddenly, a clear sound of footsteps rang out. A lean figure slowly walked out of the Black Temple and came behind Nethery, who was enveloped in green smoke. Then, he stretched out a fair palm and patted her on the shoulder.

The hissing cursed snake, with its tongue sticking out, immediately froze.
