Saint Seiya Evil Skull

"Bader, even though you can think things through and let go of many things, you must know that you are one of the few God Warriors in our Asgard! What does this mean? It means that you not only represent the dignity and glory of Asgard, but also the most powerful and top-tier combat force in Asgard!

Every God Warrior in the Asgard is as precious as a priceless treasure to the Asgard, and your strength, even among so many God Warriors, is among the best! Therefore, ensuring your good health will play a vital role in maintaining the overall combat effectiveness of the Asgard.

Let's talk about the hidden dangers lurking within your body. The Asgard will certainly not sit idly by and will exhaust every possible means to help you completely eliminate these troubles. Especially regarding the terrible curse within you, leave it to me with all your heart. I will spare no effort in finding a way to remove it. And I will also do my utmost to replenish the vitality you've lost due to this curse. This way, you can continue to cultivate with your exceptional talents.

However, I must be frank with you: while the curse is being lifted, your strength may temporarily decline. But please believe me, once that abominable curse is completely stripped from you and no longer constrains you, with your astonishing talent, you may actually be able to break through your limits and successfully enter the realm of the legendary eighth sense—the Alaya-vijnana—in your limited lifetime!

Among the many God Warriors in Asgard, there are fourteen in total besides me. I value you and Mimi the most. You two have the highest talent among the God Warriors. Even the brothers Jegufri and Sidmund can't compare to you.

"Hey, you don't need to say more. I know everything you want to say. I've just learned about the curse in your body. Go back first and I'll think about how to lift it for you." Albelisi interrupted Balder who was about to say something and asked him to leave first. He had said so much today, so he should go back and digest it!

Balder hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing. He bowed and left.

After Balder turned and left, his figure gradually moving away until it disappeared, Alberich carefully lowered his voice and whispered to himself: "Could it be you? Odin..." His eyes flashed with doubt and thought, as if he wanted to see through the thick fog to see the truth hidden behind the matter.

If, as he suspected, that person was Odin, then perhaps the many doubts that had been lingering in Alberich's mind could be explained. Thinking back to Loki's shocking rebellion in Saint Seiya Soul of Gold, it seemed no accident, but rather the result of Odin's deliberate and secret connivance.

In this life, however, because Loki had prematurely revealed his ambitions and plans, the Asgardian warriors no longer held this so-called Lord God in the same reverence they once held. They were solely focused on continuously improving their own strength, and naturally, they had less respect for Loki, the nominal Lord God.

Thus, Loki became a blood bag for the gods, gradually weakened, like a lamb to be slaughtered, and repeatedly became the target of the gods' profit, just like being harvested leeks. In the end, poor Loki failed to achieve his goals until the moment of his death, and could be said to have accomplished nothing.

Faced with this situation, Odin must have had no other choice but to intervene personally. This suggests that Baldur, who had just departed, was most likely a crucial pawn planted by Odin in Asgard, a ticking time bomb poised to explode at any moment. However, Baldur, a central figure in the incident, remained completely unaware of this, remaining naively playing within Odin's carefully crafted chessboard.

So how could Balder's curse be lifted? Albelisi already had some idea of ​​how to solve this problem. After all, when one's cultivation reaches a certain level, dealing with any difficult situation becomes much easier.

Even someone like Albelici, who had never delved deeply into the relatively niche field of curses, could still grasp the universal truth that "understanding one principle leads to understanding all" regardless of its application. Furthermore, after careful investigation, it was discovered that the curse inflicted on Balder was not a complex, elusive type. Its essence was simply the premature depletion of his vitality and potential.

The most crucial question facing Alberich was: how could he absolutely remove the curse from Balder? When considering a solution to this problem, his first thought was to use his own World Tree as a solution to his life force.

If we can find a clever way to successfully transfer the world tree's vast vitality to Balder's body, so that it can regain its vitality and repair its damaged potential for cultivation, perhaps we can completely resolve this crisis.

Even if Balder's strength declines due to the dissipation of the curse's power, it's all completely worth it! You know, Balder possesses incredible talent! Coupled with his profound understanding and experience of his previous realm, it won't be long before Balder returns to his peak state. Furthermore, it's conceivable that without the constraints of his flaws, Balder's strength should be even greater than before!

In the days that followed, besides staying in the castle to care for the children and accompany his wife, Albelis devoted most of his time to in-depth research on the curse hidden within Balder. After all, even in the vast and mysterious system of the gods, curses are an extremely rare and obscure area. Very few gods are willing to actively touch or dabble in it.

During this period, Albelici summoned Balder several times, each time spending considerable time meticulously exploring the mysterious curse within him. Furthermore, Albelici cautiously and carefully inflicted minor stimulations on the curse within Balder. Through these attempts and explorations, Albelici gained a deeper understanding of the curse within Balder.

At the same time, as his understanding of the curse deepened, Albelici gradually gained more crucial information about the methods and intentions of the person who cast such a vicious curse on Balder. After further analysis and reasoning, Albelici concluded that the curse within Balder was most likely some kind of strange life transformation.

To successfully break free from this strange state of life transformation, the first task was to shatter the cursed shackles that bound Balder. Fortunately, through tireless effort, Albelici had discovered an effective solution. He decided to fully utilize the power of the laws of fate within his control to forcibly break the cursed shackles within Balder.

However, just when everything seemed to be resolved smoothly, Alberich was shocked to discover a worrying problem: once the curse shackles within Balder were successfully lifted, he would instantly fall into a state of extreme weakness. Worse still, the various hidden dangers that had been lurking within Balder would surge out like a flood, erupting one after another.

This means that Albelis's act of removing the curse shackles is tantamount to personally igniting a powerful time bomb hidden in Balder's body in advance!

If Balder didn't hold on, wouldn't that be the end of him? After careful consideration, Albelisi decided that he couldn't take the risk...
