System: Replicating The Heavens-Chapter 496: Ch : PLM (10): Cure for the Loren’s Curse

Alex spent the entire night browsing the auxiliary system and using a few of its functions. In the Battle Arena, he chose to fight another version of himself. In the Dungeon Upheaval, he explored trial environments filled with simulated enemies, hidden dangers, and reward-based challenges designed to sharpen combat instincts and decision-making.

He briefly explored several other features. Each showed how vast and unfathomable the Boundless Shop truly was. Time slipped by unnoticed, and the night passed without him realizing it.

The next day, when Fritz, Alicia, and Alex gathered together, they decided to extend their stay.

Alex once again exchanged dozens of martial arts skills for Boundless Coins, obtaining a total of 320 Boundless Coins. Using those coins, they extended their stay for an entire month.

In the garden…

Alex, Fritz, and Alicia sat together, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere while watching the numerous people busy with their own activities.

"Alex, how are you?" Alicia asked softly. "Fritz told me that your condition has worsened again. Can't you do something about the Loren's Curse?"

There was a trace of helplessness in her voice.

Alex could already feel the curse affecting him severely. Ever since he became a True Divinity, the Loren's Curse had begun to stir violently within him. At times, he even felt that he had reached his limit.

The Loren's Curse was like a double-edged blade. It could destroy others, yet it was harming him mercilessly as well.

The curse possessed three attributes: Curse, Darkness, and Devour.

The tentacle-like manifestations that crushed his enemies were born from the Curse attribute. The darkness constantly surrounding Alex was the manifestation of the Dark attribute. As for Devour, it was the attribute that allowed the Loren's Curse to rapidly increase Alex's strength by devouring other living beings.

However, that was not all.

The Curse attribute was also ravaging him from within, corroding his body, soul, and even his spiritual energy. The Dark attribute influenced his emotions and mental state, causing instability. At times, he could barely control his anger and would fall into uncontrollable rage. Meanwhile, the Devour attribute was slowly consuming his soul and essence from the inside, killing him bit by bit.

All of this had begun after Alex broke through and became a True Divinity.

"I've searched for a cure, or anything that could break this curse, for years, but I haven't found a single solution," Alex sighed, his voice filled with regret. "I don't know what to do about it."

Suddenly, Fritz's eyes lit up as a thought crossed his mind.

"Alex, look where we are. This is a place where anything can be bought. Why don't you try looking for a cure in the Boundless Shop? I'm sure you'll definitely be able to find a way to get rid of the Loren's Curse here."

Alex froze. His eyes widened as realization struck him.

Even Alicia straightened up instantly, shock and hope flashing across her face. Such an obvious possibility had completely slipped their minds.

Without the slightest hesitation, Alex immediately opened his auxiliary system and began searching for a cure to the Loren's Curse.

The transparent screen flickered briefly. Then a list of results appeared before Alex's eyes.

But the next moment, Alex's expression stiffened.

Alex stared at the screen in silence. He had asked the auxiliary system to give him the options that could cure his Loren's Curse, and many options appeared before him.

However, every option was priced at over a billion Boundless Coins.

As for his current balance, he barely had a few hundred.

The brief spark of hope in his eyes slowly dimmed, replaced by a suffocating silence. Even in a place where everything could be bought, one still had to be able to afford the price. Unfortunately, Alex did not possess enough treasures to exchange for a cure to the Loren's Curse.

After all, even after exchanging two special physiques and a bloodline, each capable of allowing someone to cultivate to the peak of Sainthood or beyond, he had only obtained a little over 1,200 Boundless Coins. Alex even suspected that, even if he were to sell every treasure in his possession, he would not be able to gather even 500,000 Boundless Coins, let alone more than a billion.

"What happened?"

Alicia and Fritz were waiting, but then they suddenly saw Alex's expression and felt something was wrong.

An important feature of the auxiliary system was that only the person accessing it could see it. Others could not. Because of this, when Alex was reviewing the options, Alicia and Fritz were unable to see anything and had no idea why his mood suddenly plummeted.

Alex let out a sigh and told them about the available options, causing their expressions to darken as well. None of them had expected such an outcome.

After a moment of silence, Alicia spoke firmly, "No matter what, curing the Loren's Curse is a must. I'll exchange everything I have for Boundless Coins. Alex, you should do the same. Fritz, you—"

She didn't finish her sentence, but Fritz understood immediately.

He nodded without hesitation and said, "Don't worry. I'm not an ungrateful person. Alex has saved my life several times. He's my friend, and when a friend is in need, how could I possibly back down? I'm also ready to put everything I have up for exchange to obtain Boundless Coins."

"You guys..."

Alex felt emotional, and his eyes immediately turned red. But this time, he was not affected by the Loren's Curse.
