( Back to Ragna. )
< Ki Cultivation in Progress. >
" Yes, I can feel it... " Ragna senses the Ki gets more cultivated as he grips his hand more, triggering the internal energy from his muscles as an alternative buff to his physique.
< Ki Cultivated +110 >
" Well done, it seems you have a good start. " Galen says to Ragna as Ragna senses his newfound alternative power which he could use in battle.
" This is great, I can feel the Ki overflowing in my muscles, Galen! "
" Thank you for the... "
" Teac...ching... "
" Kurghh! " Ragna suddenly felt something as if he was struck by lightning.
Seeing that, Galen immediately approached Ragna as he felt pain during the process which is not supposed to happen in this kind of cultivation method, due to the method being just a simple cheat alternative cultivation method, made only for some cheap cheats during a fight and not some overpowered training that will immediately make one cultivate the Ki in just seconds, no...
Think this training, is somewhat like, a test cheat paper presentation where a person doesn't actually learn the whole course in the book they were given but only prepares the questions' answers that they could use for the test.
The cheat will definitely help, but sometimes the test's question often differs from expectation sometimes, the most perfect and prepared cheat could answer half right.
It's the same as this Cheat Ki Cultivation Method that Galen is teaching right now, a cultivation method made in desperation due to the Gift Core's System that prevents the Ki from entering the internal organs while the user wants to have it in order to perfect their own martial arts, thus the martial artist who is his ancestor finally found some cheap cheat method that will help him at least imbuing Ki into his muscles and some organs despite having a Gift Core that constantly wipes any traces of outside energies out of the Core's power.
" Ragna, you're okay!? " Galen asks.
"( This wasn't supposed to happen... )"
"( This Ki Cultivation Method is 100% assured can be used by us who wants an alternative power resources other than the strict Power System of the gods' Gift Core. )"
"( Since the Gift Core only cares about eliminating the other energy sources inside our body, our organs especially, then it usually dismisses the energy that we cultivated from our muscles and brains. )"
"( So why...,huh? )" Galen was shocked as lightning suddenly came out from Ragna's body.
" What the...!? "
" Ragna, what is going on!? " Galen asks while Ragna sees the System informing him.
< The Divine Curse: Yakan Heavenly Restriction is active. >
< The Divine Curse has realized the Player's attempt on cultivating Ki. >
< " I'm sorry Player Ragna Current. " >
< " But our System's firewall can not hold the Divine Curse's breach over our control any longer. " >
< " When it activates, the Divine *blip* " >
" No no no no no no no no no no no no... "
" Not right now! " Ragna yells as he never thought the goddamn virus-like Divine Curse would be active at times like this.
[ Yakan Curse Activated ]
...
( Meanwhile. )
[ Location: System Space. ]
" Dammit, it's leak again! " Ragna Twelve says as he tries to prevent the Yakan Curse power from getting out in its full force.
" Old Twelve, should I awaken the other 'us' from their slumber? " Ragna 69 asks while looking at the pods behind him, the pods with Roman numerals, the pods with the numbers C, CXI, and some other pods.*
" NO! Awakening them now is useless! " Twelve says as he tries to utilize the 'Aether' that he also gained after touching the Dainsleif Sword while possessing Ragna Current's body as he fights the possessed William Clarke back then, in the Ruins of Swords.
" 69, use your Aether and help me and the System to seal this Divine Curse back before it goes Berserk. " Twelve orders Ragna 69 to use his Aether as both of them help the System to seal the Yakan Curse again using their Aether since the Aether is the most powerful energy source that they could use to face the Divine Curse's power.
" You stupid men from the Previous Timelines! " the Yakan Curse says.
" You dare to seal me again, inside the very section of your puny magical technology of yours! " she says as she tells that despite her being sealed, she will always overpower the System's directives as she often did that by adding the [Punishment Zone] as one of the System's Directives.
As she does that, she begins to unleash her power more making the System almost have an error and the whole System Space almost be crumbled because of its Divine Might.
" Twelve, I think we need help here! " Ragna 69 says as he uses his prowess of using the Aether combined with his magical abilities to at least the Divine Curse.
" The two of us can't stop this thing from breaking free! "
" We need help from the outside too, if there's someone that could control Divine Thunder. " Ragna 69 says.
" Divine Thunder, you say? " Twelve responds.
" Well, in the Raid group, we do have one, but I thought she was still fighting with that person who has Deviant Thunder, did she not? "
" That Inquisitor? " Twelve says as suddenly, his [Twelve Eye of Time] begins to activate itself as he sees something.
" I see, so her development is on the right track... " Twelve says as he then decides to transfer the Aether to Ragna 69 as he wants to leave the System Space for a bit.
" Hey, where are you going? " 69 asks.
" Outside, I need to talk with the goddess of Love and Thunder* about this. " Twelve says as he leaves the place, ordering 69 to hold on while he had to meet with someone.
...
( Outside the System Space.)
Ragna felt so much pain, in his body and thunder came out from his body since the Yakan Curse is getting wilder and wilder, probably after sensing Ragna's attempt on cultivating Ki which she has to eliminate due to her Divine Purpose.
As he screams in pain, Ragna then sees Twelve's Chrono Spirit come out from his body as he calls him but Twelve doesn't listen and just disappears, leaving Ragna in Galen's hands as he definitely doesn't know what's going on with Ragna right now while Ragna is currently having great pain.
" Yes, suffer greatly, my dear boy. " the Yakan Curse says from within him.
" For this is your punishment for even daring to find a way to gain more," she says while torturing him with her Divine Thunder.

Ragna Twelve was referring to Aphrodite at this moment, I mean who else is the god that had the power of love and the ability and thunder at the same time, right?

I wasn't referring to that movie.

Some facts, the Yakan Curse often interfered with the System's Directive, thus she was the one who create the [Punishment Zone Directive] in the first place.
Originally, the System doesn't have any fatal punishment for fatal mistakes, it was the Yakan Curse's interference that made it happens, unknown to even some of the System's official admins such as Ragna Twelve.
