My Divine Beasts Are Really Not Evil Gods-Chapter 20: Forbidden Curse Mark

This was no exaggeration.
Peach Pigs were docile, so the breeding base was set up inside the school for easier management.
As a result, the security was weak, consisting of only a single wall.
If it were breached, the school would inevitably be too slow to react, and the first to face the impact would be the students.
They had only just contracted their Pet Beasts. Even the stronger ones were only at the Silver Rank.
Facing an assault from a Commander Rank Pet Beast, equivalent to a Gold Beast Tamer, they would be crushed in a single encounter.
Injuries would be one thing, but if any deaths occurred, it would become a Malignant Incident.
After the Ghostface Curse Frog was suppressed and the matter was over, even if Lu Yu was an innocent party, the Peach Pig Project would certainly be terminated, and he would be saddled with a huge debt.
This was because to become the project leader, he had promised to bear the losses if the project failed.
Otherwise, why would the school entrust the project to a student who seemed to have "gone mad," and grant him so much authority to modify it as he pleased?
But high risk meant high reward. If it succeeded, Lu Yu would also receive twenty percent of the project's profits.
It might seem small, but with no capital investment, it was a good deal of Technology Investment using the 【Eye of Truth】, a classic case of Borrowing a Chicken to Lay Eggs. This was the upside.
The downside was that if anything went wrong, all of this would be exposed, and he would become the target of everyone's blame.
"Almost going bankrupt twice in one day is more thrilling than a roller coaster!"
Lu Yu took a deep breath.
As for why such a rare gold-level creature would appear in this small pig farm…
He had a rough idea.
The Taboo Memory!
After witnessing the Taboo Sun, the related memories had transformed into a special curse, rooted deep within his soul.
Although not directly fatal, it gave him a special magnetic field that was extremely attractive to beings of the evil alignment.
It was equivalent to Tang Monk's Flesh, the kind that came with its own background music announcing how delicious it was.
The 【Nightmare Seal】 was the mark left after attracting the Nightmare!
And the Ghostface Curse Frog was very likely influenced by it as well, its birth in the Peach Blossom Forest being the most probable outcome.
If he hadn't awakened the Gate of Truth, his soul would have been devoured by the Nightmare, his organs eaten by the frog, and he would have become an enslaved Cursed Puppet, ultimately to be destroyed by humans or eaten by some wild monster.
In the end, he would have been reduced to a pile of scraps.
At this moment, Lu Yu felt the intense malice of fate!
From the moment he, a mere mortal, gazed directly upon the taboo, his life was destined to be a tragedy…
As if!
"How naive!"
Lu Yu whispered softly, his gaze growing deeper, countless emotions intertwining to nurture a seed named ambition.
Before, although he had awakened the Gate of Truth, his mindset had not changed. He only wanted to resolve the Nightmare Seal and then live a comfortable life, steadily becoming a powerful Beast Tamer.
But for a mortal to witness the taboo was, in itself, a sin!
The crime—weakness!
He looked at the sky and the earth; everything was incredibly distorted, as if he were inside the body of a colossal, bloated demonic beast, with countless squirming eyes covered in feathers and tentacles looking down, mocking his foolishness and incompetence.
If this were the past, Lu Yu would have panicked, worried, been afraid, and revered these great beings.
But now, he had a sudden epiphany.
Looking at the shining sun in the sky, Lu Yu endured the blinding light.
A trace of fascination flashed in his eyes as he reached out and clenched his hand in the air, admiring it.
"How beautiful…"
As the 【Master of the Gate】, the Secret Food Creator, everything in this world was nothing more than material!
No matter how many demonic beasts came, they would only become the Nutrient/Fodder for his growth, helping him ascend to the Divine Throne step by step.
Even the Taboo Sun, was it not just another material?
Since he was already tainted by the taboo, begging for mercy was useless.
So, why not adjust his mentality beforehand, step into the Chessboard of these great beings early, and try to transform from a chess piece into a Chess Player, and finally…
Flip over this Chessboard!
Playing a game against an Evil God… that should be interesting!
The corners of Lu Yu's mouth lifted, forming a wanton smile.
"Ying?"
Little Spider was a little confused. She felt that her master had changed somehow, that he seemed happier.
Although she couldn't figure it out, as long as her master was happy, she would be super happy too.
Lu Yu patted the little one's head, his gaze gentle.
On the path ahead, only she would stand steadfastly behind him.
Becoming the Anchor for his sanity!
He looked at the frog, whose gaze was filled with venomous hatred as if it wanted to flay him alive, and took off his sunglasses to meet its eyes.
"Gwa!"
Even the brutal frog was stunned by this gaze and couldn't help but take a step back.
Because what it saw was not anger, not killing intent.
The gaze was frank and calm, yet it held a kind of…
Madness!
He was clearly just a frail human, but his bloodshot eyes were filled with a kind of madness.
The intent to tear fate to shreds, to blaspheme the taboo!
The next moment, however, the frog reacted.
To be frightened by a mere human was a great humiliation, especially since this was the enemy who had forced it to tear its way out of its mother's body.
"Guu—Gwa!"
The Ghostface Curse Frog inflated its air sacs, shaking the space around it and causing the ground to crack.
Sound waves spread out. Seeing the frog's action, Lu Yu immediately covered his ears, and Little Spider copied him.
But his body's qi and blood still stagnated for a moment, and he felt a wave of weakness.
Weakening Curse!
A worthy opponent of the Elite Rank.
The first Curse Croak it had mastered was already this troublesome!
Transmitted by sound, it allowed the frog to act like a Shaman from a game, using sound to apply negative debuffs to its opponents.
Although not fatal, with an already large gap in rank, the difference in strength would be stretched even wider.
Fortunately, as an Overlord cub, Little Spider was born with powerful Spirituality. Coupled with the blindfold stabilizing her will, she wasn't affected too much.
"Gwa, gwa, gwa, gwa…"
At the same time, hundreds of Peach Blossom Spotted Frogs leaped out of the water, mixed with several huge Peach Blossom Drum Frogs. Their eyes were vacant as they surged forward one after another, like a Zombie Army.
"Void Ray!"
Lu Yu commanded calmly. The six Void Eyes once again condensed with purple light, transforming into rays that shot out.
Because Space-type skills consumed a lot of energy, the primary targets were the evolved Peach Blossom Drum Frogs, which were instantly pierced.
Void Toxin spread, and their flesh and blood instantly crystallized, exploding—
Bang! Bang! Bang!
—and scattering Crystal Powder everywhere.
If this kept up, the Cursed Puppet Legion would soon be routed.
Unfortunately, the frog wouldn't give him that chance.
It continuously emitted its Curse Croak to weaken its enemy while ordering the Cursed Puppet frogs to kick up dirt, creating a cloud of dust that obscured vision.
A normal Beast Tamer would have truly had their vision blurred, leaving them unable to act.
However, Little Spider used her Mind's Eye to perceive her surroundings and didn't rely on her eyes, so the Void Ray continued to fire without pause, slaughtering the Cursed Puppets.
It was a merciless slaughter.
Overlord Rank, a hegemon of the land to whom countless beings submit. Even as a cub, she possessed the potential to slaughter all things!
"Gwa!"
This scene made the frog's eyes bulge with fury, its huge eyes swelling with anger as if they were about to burst.
Boom!
It swung its forelimbs, splashing up a large amount of water that mixed with the sand to form a Mud Pit. Then, it had the puppet frogs continuously hurl mud as projectiles.
"Spider Silk Shield Formation!"
Hearing her master's command, silk gathered in front of Little Spider, forming a huge square shield. At the same time, threads extended from its four corners to wrap around trees and dissipate the force, successfully blocking the barrage of mud.
"Gwa!"
The Ghostface Curse Frog pressed forward, giving no quarter. It opened its giant mouth and spat out Venom.
Only this time, the target was not Little Spider, but Lu Yu.
"Ying!"
Seeing this, Little Spider subconsciously moved to protect her master, but a dozen Puppet Birds suddenly ambushed her from behind.
Although she managed to blink into The Void to create distance, her actions were still disrupted.
It had even made a batch of Cursed Puppets out of birds for a surprise attack at a critical moment!
A look of astonishment appeared on Lu Yu's face, and he froze in place.
"Ying ying."
Little Spider quickly had the Void Eyes kill the birds while she herself blinked through space to block the Venom with her silk shield.
Sizzle!
The spider silk was not an alloy, after all. It was instantly corroded by the Venom, making a hissing sound, while the distant Void Eyes were also tied up.
In that moment, Little Spider lost her protection!
"Gwa!"
And the Ghostface Curse Frog had finally gotten its chance. Blood-red markings appeared on its cheeks as it inhaled and swelled once more, forming a terrifying ghost face pattern.
Spirit-type skill—Ghost Face!
A strange fluctuation spread out, transforming into a psychic shockwave that swept over Little Spider, causing her to lose focus for a moment and freeze on the spot.
At the same time, the Ghostface Curse Frog no longer waited.
It leaped forward. Although it was also a frail mage and shouldn't get close, it had another trump card.
The signature skill of frogs—Tongue Whip!
Swoosh!
The blood-colored long tongue shot out, piercing towards Little Spider!
If it hit, even a giant boulder would be instantly shattered, let alone a fragile mage like Little Spider!
"Gu-gwa!"
The Ghostface Curse Frog's huge eyes were filled with brutal glee, as if it could already see Little Spider's flesh being devoured, becoming Nutrient/Fodder for its evolution.
"Didn't you know that mages are melee fighters who use swords?"
Lu Yu's calm voice rang out, causing the frog to suddenly sense a hint of danger and realize something was wrong.
The seemingly weak Little Spider had silver hair falling over her shoulders. The golden sunlight pierced through the mottled leaves and fell upon her, dyeing her blindfold black-gold, making her look splendid and divine.
In that instant, it was as if time had overlapped, and the elegant and beautiful Heavenly Nun had descended.
She extended her slender, jade-like hands.
Countless strands of spider silk condensed and combined, forming two Slender Sword Blades in her grasp. Her aura stirred up a great wind, blowing the scattered peach blossoms on the ground into the air.
Amidst the beautiful rain of flowers, a figure shot straight up, accompanied by a sweeping Black-red Sword Light that devoured all things like the dark night, turning the world gray.
