In the distance.
The moment she saw the countless illusory chains emerging from the surrounding wasteland, the Witch God's expression, who was with Soso, changed drastically.
She almost immediately understood what had happened.
It was her husband who had once again triggered the curse rooted in his soul!
"Not good!"
Without another word, the Witch God's head suddenly turned around, her face solemn. She quickly rushed towards that direction with Soso.
Soso's face turned a bit pale as she said: "Daddy - has - another episode -?"
Obviously.
She had seen similar scenes more than once.
Especially during the periods when her father was in chaos, the endless anger couldn't be contained. When he tried to break through the restraints of this dark world on him again and again.
Those illusory chains would appear and then suppress him firmly in this world again.
That was the materialization of the curse!
It was also the shackles imposed on them, binding them for eternity!
The Witch God's eyes flickered with light as she gritted her teeth and said:
"Let's hurry over - this damn fool - neither earlier nor later - but at this very moment -"
"I hope that little guy - wasn't affected -"
And upon hearing those words, Soso's face immediately turned pale, and her whole face was filled with panic.
Ryan's face emerged in her mind, making her immediately restless.
"Doctor -"
They rushed forward quickly.
Finally.
A few minutes later, they passed through the burning wilderness.
And as soon as they stepped into this area, the Witch God's head immediately noticed something unusual.
Because in the past, when her husband went into a frenzy, the curses he triggered were invariably extremely terrifying. They usually wouldn't stop until they had tortured him black and blue.
But for some reason.
Just after she had stepped in here not long ago, she suddenly felt that the violent curse had inexplicably weakened.
Although the extent of the weakening wasn't obvious.
But this had never happened before.
She was astonished.
Not understanding what exactly had happened.
"We're here!"
The Witch God's head, with Soso, suddenly rushed to the outside of the big pit that had been smashed out.
Her gaze was solemn.
And as soon as she saw the scene inside, a shocked expression immediately appeared in the Witch God's eyes.
"This..."
In the very center of the big pit, the Titan's head was still bound by huge chains, his eyes sometimes chaotic, sometimes clear.
And on the ground not far away, Ryan, who was in a state of depleted mental energy (x﹏x), was lying there.
And at this moment, his left hand was struggling to crawl, dragging the unconscious
Ryan, who was foaming at the mouth, and trying hard to crawl towards a safe place.
"Stupid body! o (≧口≦) o You thought you could handsomely swipe and get rid of this big guy's curse? That's a root-level curse! How naive can you be!"
"After this, without five tons of a big meal! You don't even think about getting my forgiveness!!"
Swish - Swish - Swish -
The left hand was struggling to drag Ryan towards the safe area.
The Witch God's head: "..."
Soso said in astonishment: "Um - It's Doctor brother's moving left hand -"
And the Titan's head in the very center was obviously much clearer now.
Obviously, the weakening of the curse had greatly alleviated the curse that he would usually take a long time to suppress.
"What on earth is this..." The Witch God's head was full of astonishment.
...
An hour later.
With a wisp of mental energy circulating in his mind.
Ryan, who had overdrawn his mental energy, slowly woke up. And as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Soso's (✪ω✪) face that was two stories high in front of him.
"Um - Doctor - woke up -"
And before Ryan could come to his senses, a system prompt rang in his ears.

Ryan woke up instantly and then sat up straight, opened his eyes, and said:
"How is Uncle?"
Just as he finished speaking, a deep and doubtful voice came from behind him.
"I'm fine -"
Ryan turned his head.
And then immediately saw the Titan's head not far away, looking at him seriously. His eyes had regained their clarity, obviously having broken free from the previous chaos.
And whether it was an illusion or not.
Ryan could clearly feel that compared to before, the Titan's head now seemed to have a bit more wisdom and heroic spirit.
This could be felt from the way he looked at people.
It was no longer the kind of look that was suppressing anger and malice, but really like that of a living being...
Humanity.
The Titan's head looked at him deeply and said:
"You weakened - my curse?"
Because of the curse, his anger was hard to suppress.
And once the endless anger was triggered by a certain opportunity, he would immediately fall into great madness.
Because he was constantly being tortured by the past anger.
It was a living hell for him.
But just when the curse swept over him just now, almost driving him into a frenzy, this young man somehow managed to weaken the intensity of the curse!
Although the degree of weakening wasn't high.
But it instantly increased the proportion of clarity in his consciousness.
Ryan rubbed his aching forehead and said calmly:
"I just gave it a try. I didn't expect it to really succeed. This is another ability. I can temporarily clear the curse on the target for 24 hours."
"But my current strength is too weak. I can't completely clear the curse on you. However, it was only weakened by about 15%."
As soon as these words were spoken, a hint of shock and surprise immediately appeared in the Witch God's eyes.
"How is this possible..."
Because she was the Witch God.
She knew better than anyone else the horror of the curse that was torturing them.
That curse could make them immortal, but it would also bind them firmly to this dark world and drive them crazy.
Even she couldn't completely suppress this curse.
And this little human actually...
The Titan's head looked at him seriously and said:
"Does that mean that if your strength becomes strong enough in the future, you can completely remove the curse on us?!"
Ryan thought for a moment and smiled, saying:
"I think it should be possible."
Confidence.
It was a strong confidence radiating from the inside out.
It was like being given a glimmer of hope in the endless hell, instantly making the Titan's head's eyes turn red.
He wriggled to Ryan's front.
He didn't know where this human young man came from, nor did he know how many secrets he was hiding.
But it seemed that all of this had become unimportant in his words.
"But I'm confused. You rushed over without hesitation even though you knew I was in chaos. Weren't you afraid of dying?"
He looked at this human young man with a complicated expression.
Ryan's mouth curled up slightly.
"Afraid, of course I'm afraid of dying. But I think since I have that ability, why not take a risk?"
"Because at least in my opinion, the parents who could give birth to a lovely girl like Soso, they should be a loving couple, right?"
"Since that's the case, why not take a risk?"
He looked up, a healing smile on his face.
The wind blew across his cheeks.
That healing smile at that moment was as bright as the sun.

Ryan: "..."
[Ding! The Titan's head's favorability towards you + 30]
[Ding! The Witch God's head's favorability towards you + 40]
The Titan's head's eyes immediately turned red when looking at Ryan.
Especially when seeing Ryan's sincere smile on his face, a warmth that he hadn't felt for many, many years suddenly emerged in his scarred heart.
So... In this hell, there were actually such simple and beautiful creatures?
Just because of such a simple reason.
Just because of kindness.
He reached out to help without hesitation...
This young man...
He...
Smack -
A slender tentacle patted Ryan's shoulder. The Titan's head, with red eyes, looked at Ryan and said:
"Nothing more to say - Just because of what you said just now - I'm determined to be your friend -"
"If anyone dares to bully you outside in the future - just mention my name -"
He wiped his red eyes and said:
"If you don't mind - from now on, you call me Big Brother - I'll call you Worthy Son-in-law - Let's - become sworn brothers!"
Ryan was shocked all over, and he was also immediately infected by the atmosphere.
He stretched out his hand, trembling, and said: "Big Brother!"
The Titan's head, with red eyes, said: "Good Son-in-law!"
In an instant, it was as if peach blossoms were floating, and the touching and affectionate music sounded in their ears.
Not asking to be born on the same year, the same day!
But asking to die on the same year, the same day...
Bang -
Bang -
Two loud noises.
The Witch God's head rolled up her tentacles with a clicking sound, closed her eyes, and "╬" symbols exploded one after another on her head.
And Ryan and the Titan's head were already sent flying dozens of meters away, with smoke rising from their heads (x﹏x).
The Witch God's head closed her eyes, rolled up her tentacles with a clicking sound, and said angrily with a (〃´ 皿 `) q expression:
"Hopeless - Two guys with short-circuited brains - Becoming sworn brothers - Why don't you two just go and die -"
"..."
