Chapter 238
The Tyrannical Juggernaut clenched his fists, his voice booming. "So what is our purpose now?"
Ikenga’s gaze was steady. "The fact that you have extracted yourselves from these desires and regained consciousness, even in your cursed state, is precisely why you are here today."
The All-Knowing Oracle tilted her head, her eyes piercing. "And what does that mean for our future?"
"Every cursed spirit is drawn to the essence of what you represent. Therefore, from this moment on, in the hierarchy of curses, you will be known as the ’Arch Curses’. No other curse will achieve the same status you hold now. Every cursed being from here on will fall under your dominion, depending on the nature of their curse."
The Spotlight Phantom’s ethereal voice cut through the air. "So, we are to be leaders of these new curses?"
"Yes," Ikenga affirmed. "You will guide them, control them".
The Despairing Virtuoso sighed, a melancholic tune echoing in his voice. "And what of our desires? Are we forever bound by them?"
Ikenga’s expression softened. "Your desires are part of you, but they do not have to define you. You have the power to transcend them. The completion of what you are today is something many will wish they had."
"Depending on the course and action you all take from now on, godhood is present to you all. It all depends on if you can grab that chance."
The All-Knowing Oracle’s eyes gleamed with curiosity. "Godhood? What do we need to do to achieve this?"
Ikenga continued, "I will be leaving this world very soon, which is why your very being and existence is crucial for maintaining the world as it is today. In the near future, I may return, but if I do not, bear in mind this: a demigod, the daughter of Keles, will make her way to my realm. She will grasp the fruit of godhood and ascend."
