A New Special-Grade Curse Is Born!

A New Special-Grade Curse Is Born! After Shoko Ieiri made the suggestion.

Ronawa swiftly began to act as well.

After changing clothes with Shoko Ieiri,

the two held hands and used Distance Kill to appear in Nagasaki instantly.

Then, following the source of cursed energy, they made their way to the heart of Nagasaki.

By the time they arrived, the place was already bustling.

Ronawa even spotted quite a few familiar faces.

Such as Yuta Okkotsu.

At this point, due to Jujutsu Society's shortage of manpower, Yuta Okkotsu had already begun going out on missions.

He led Maki Zenin and the others from his year around Japan, putting out fires and exorcising curses.

By coincidence, they had received a mission tonight.

They were here to deal with a newly born special-grade curse.

At that moment, Yuta Okkotsu and the others had already set up a large Curtain to prevent this special-grade curse's birth from attracting ordinary people's attention.

After that, they patiently waited for the special-grade curse to be born.

Of course, Yuta Okkotsu and the others would not be like Satoru Gojo back then and let a newborn special-grade curse live.

Not everyone was Satoru Gojo.

And not every special-grade curse was called Ronawa.

Besides Yuta Okkotsu and the others, another group was waiting for the special-grade curse's birth.

It was Kenjaku and his group.

By now, Kenjaku had expanded his team.

Besides Kenjaku himself and the sisters Nanako and Mimiko,

there was someone standing beside them whom Ronawa found very familiar.

He was ugly as sin, with coral-like protrusions on his forehead.

He was one of the Four Calamities from the original story: the Volcano Curse, Jogo!

Apparently, Kenjaku had found Jogo during this time and talked him into joining.

Honestly, Ronawa had not expected this place to be so lively.

But then again, since she was already here, she might as well enjoy the show.

She was rather curious what type of curse this newborn curse would be.

"The cursed energy reaction in the area is getting more and more intense. That newborn special-grade curse is about to be born!"

"Have we figured out what type of special-grade curse it is?"

Yuta Okkotsu asked Maki Zenin beside him.

Maki Zenin shook her head. "We can't find anything. No similar special-grade curse has ever been born in history."

"It's very likely a completely new special-grade curse!"

As everyone knew, curses were born from human fear.

Curses could be exorcised, but exorcising one did not mean that fear disappeared.

For example, humanity feared volcanoes, and thus the special-grade curse Jogo was born.

Even if Jogo were exorcised, humanity's fear of volcanoes would not disappear.

That fearful emotion would continue to exist until, after some time, a new Volcano Curse was born.

By then, the Volcano Curse might not be called Jogo, but its essence would be no different from Jogo's.

In the end, curses could be exorcised, but the fear they represented could not.

Likewise, most curses being born now were curses that had existed before but were exorcised.

For example, there had been several records of Volcano Curses being exorcised in the past.

It was only that the newly born Volcano Curse of this generation happened to be named Jogo.

That was why, when facing this newborn special-grade curse,

Yuta Okkotsu had investigated its type.

He wanted to see what fear this curse had been born from.

Unfortunately, he found nothing.

That meant the curse about to be born before them would be an entirely new curse.

One that had never appeared in history.

A completely new type of special-grade curse born from fears humanity had developed in recent years.

So what could it be?

While Yuta Okkotsu was thinking, Kenjaku had already guessed the answer.

"Seriously? A curse like this can actually be born?"

"But that raises another question: what should this curse be called?"

"The Nuclear Curse? Or the Atomic Curse?"

It was in Nagasaki, and it possessed the strength of a special-grade curse.

It was also born from something humanity had feared in recent years.

Something the people of Japan especially dreaded.

Other than Little Boy and Fat Man, Kenjaku could not think of anything else.

In other words, this special-grade curse about to be born in Nagasaki originated from humanity's fear of nuclear weapons.

Their fear of atomic bombs and nuclear radiation.

And from that, a new special-grade curse had been born.

That was why this special-grade curse was stronger than ordinary special-grade curses.

Because at least in Japan, people's fear of nuclear weapons ran very deep.

The only country in history to have been hit by mushroom bombs.

Those who knew, knew.

Combined with Japan's unique circumstances, the curses born here were much stronger than those in other regions.

This made the special-grade curse about to be born somewhat absurdly powerful.

At the very least, it was not something ordinary special-grade curses like Jogo could compare to.

Of course, that did not mean a volcanic eruption was less powerful than nuclear weapons.

It was simply the wrong era.

The power and destructiveness of a volcanic eruption naturally far exceeded those of nuclear weapons.

But curses were fundamentally born from human fear.

And that was where Jogo suffered.

Japan had gone too long without experiencing the pain of a volcanic eruption.

Over the past thousand years or so, none of Japan's major volcanoes had records of violent eruptions.

Nor had they caused massive casualties.

As a result, people's fear of volcanic eruptions was limited.

But nuclear weapons were different. Even now, the Japanese still feared those terrifying weapons.

Because they had truly been hit by them.

In the end, the strength of a special-grade curse depended on the era as well!

If Japan had suffered a massive volcanic eruption with heavy casualties in recent decades,

then this would have been Jogo's era.

His strength would have been far greater than it was now.

Likewise, if Japan had suffered an extremely severe tsunami disaster in recent decades,

then this would have been Dagon's era.

His strength would have received a massive boost as well.

Unfortunately, neither had happened.

That was why Jogo and Dagon were both fairly average in strength.

After all, this was no longer their golden era.

But the Nuclear Weapons Curse about to be born was different.

This was precisely its era.

If the world truly experienced large-scale nuclear warfare in the future,

then the Nuclear Weapons Curse's strength would continue to soar.

In the end, a curse's strength depended entirely on how much humanity feared it.

And that was what made Ronawa so monstrous.

Because she never needed to depend on the era.

She stood above so-called "eras."

After all, humans of any era feared death.

That was unavoidable.

As a result, Ronawa had no such thing as an era.

If one had to put it another way,

she was the era itself!

That was the greatest difference between Ronawa and other special-grade curses.
