"Well, I actually think that living is better than dying."
"Have you ever heard the saying, 'Better to endure than to die'?"
George hesitated for a moment, then transformed back into his cat form and blinked before replying.
He could understand Gerel's emotions and was willing to kill him after tricking him into using his magic, thus solving another problem.
He had no feelings for Gerel and only wanted the magic in his brain.
But now is not the time.
One is that he may not be able to do it. The curse of life and death directly imposed by the god of this world is definitely not something that can be easily broken.
Even the Black Dragon, who can
Why does he know these things?
You can guess it too.
Gerel is determined to die, but he can't beat the Black Dragon. If the Black Dragon can let him go, he would directly challenge it alone.
Not acting on it means that the Black Dragon cannot kill him either, but can defeat and torment him instead.
Second, and most importantly, even if he could do it, he wouldn't do it.
Gerel was punished for violating the taboo, and he helped him get rid of the curse. That's not equivalent to going against Ankerell's God, right? How can he expect to have a good outcome?
Unless he has the power to fearlessly defy Ankerell's God, or has an interest that he believes is worth offending Ankerell's God for.
Maybise would die because the one who killed her was Gerel, with the same curse. Therefore, it wouldn't be a problem.
"You don't understand my pain, nor do you understand my feelings. Kill me, or I'll still be your enemy; I will find a way to attack the Eastern Continent and obtain the heart of the elf."
"You are very powerful, even possessing the strength comparable to the Black Dragon. But I want to leave, and you can't stop me."
Gerel shook his head and spoke again.
George is strong, but he can't defeat him; he can still escape.
If he cannot be killed, then he can only continue with the second plan, fuse the heart of the elves, and rewrite history.
"Gerel, if you really want it, I can do it. I really can do it; I'm not lying to you."
At this time, Maybise flew over and grabbed Gerel's hand:
"Do you know why I was killed initially?"
Because you loved me more than I loved you, so the curse on you was stronger than the one on me, which is why it killed me.
If I loved you more than you loved me, then according to theory, you would be killed by the curse on me.
"Because of my love?"
Gerel looked at Maybise, his eyes wandering.
"But you're already dead, you're just a soul now, and you can't cast curses anymore."
"No, my body has not completely died. As long as I want to, I can go back to my body and live again."
Maybise's eyes were resolute.
"So don't continue to implement your plan or launch another war. I will help you end your suffering and release you."
"If that's true, then I...oh..."
Looking at the Maybise in front of him, Gerel's heartstring was struck again, and the frozen love was hard to suppress any longer. This also led to the recurrence of the curse within his body.
The energy of death erupted from Gerel's body, seemingly trying to consume all life around it.
"That's the curse!"
As the death energy approached, George instantly transformed into a dragon, blocking everyone behind him.
The death energy eroded his massive body, taking away a part of his vitality, and then gradually dissipated.
"This feeling is somewhat similar to the curse of the death sentence, which can't be defended and can only be withstood."
After blocking the curse, George returned to his cat form and thought to himself.
The curse just now was mainly caused by Gerel's love for Maybise, so he suffered only the residual power, which wasn't very strong.
The average S-level magician may not be able to withstand it, but with his physical body, it's not a big deal.
"All right, I agree. As long as you can free me from this, the Albacres Empire will never launch a war."
Gerel once again froze his heart, and after a moment of silence, he finally nodded.
However, at this moment, George spoke up.
"I think this method can work, but not now. I have a suggestion, and you both can listen."
"What kind of suggestion?"
Maybise turned around and asked.
George coughed slightly:
"That's right, according to what you said, the deeper the love, the greater the curse's power."
But you haven't seen each other for over a hundred years. How can we ensure that there is enough love to cast the curse now?
If the love isn't deep enough to kill the other, then it still won't work."
"Ah, this."
Hearing George's words, Gerel and Maybise were both stunned. How deep is the love, how can we judge it?
"So what I mean is, you can live together for a while and wait until your hearts are completely sure before starting the plan."
After all, they've waited for so many years. A few more years won't make much of a difference.
As the leader of the elves, Maybise is currently in a soul state and is not afraid of your curse erupting. You also won't need to suppress your inner emotions to prevent the curse from erupting.
Moreover, things like this, you also have to consult with your own children, right, Euclydes?"
George turned his head and looked at the magic king who had regained some strength over there.
He was stopping Gerel and Maybise from executing the plan now, and besides what he had just said, there were actually more important reasons.
Gerel and Maybise are some of the top-tier magicians in this world, those who truly understand and research magic deeply, genuine geniuses.
The Black Dragon is strong, but it's just in terms of strength. In terms of magic, it's not as powerful as the two of them.
So he doesn't want the two of them to die so early.
He can obtain Gerel's memories, but they are just memories. To learn the magic inside, he still has to study it himself slowly.
But if he can exchange magical insights with Gerel and Maybise on top of acquiring their memories, that would be more valuable.
And with this, the twelve divine shields would also become allies. It's not just about acquiring memories; they could also exchange magical knowledge in the future.
Finally, based on his development, maybe a few years later, his strength could match that of Ankerell's God and he could lift the curse on the two of you. There would be no need for you to die.
"Our children?"
Gerel and Maybise looked at Euclydes, their faces filled with confusion as well.
George directly said:
"Euclydes is your child. The second leader of the elves."
He quickly recounted the truth of that time from the memories of Euclydes.
Maybise looked at Euclydes, his eyes filled with expectations and love.
"Is what George said true?"
"It's true; she's my mother."
Euclydes looked at Maybise, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
As soon as he saw Maybise in the form of George, he wanted to shout "mother" first and had been holding it back until now.
Upon hearing this, Gerel behind Maybise hesitated for a moment, and the curse erupted again.
