A breeze blew past, slowly dispersing the smell of blood. Everyone present was stunned by Zuo Ci's sudden act of murder.
What was going on? Why had Zuo Ci suddenly killed War Beast? Did they have some kind of grudge?
"Wait, wait! Why did you suddenly kill him? He's a very important ally of ours!"
Blunt as ever, Allen couldn't hold back and blurted out the question, his enormous, gleaming eye brimming with confusion.
"Zuo Ci, you..."
Superman couldn't understand why he had done it either. He raised a hand, about to ask something, but suddenly realized this might involve one of Zuo Ci's abilities or spells and stopped short.
"Oh, come on, could you have a little patience? I'm not a Viltrumite mole. Why would I deliberately murder someone?
I'm doing this to help him remove his curse, all right? If you really don't believe me, why not ask him yourselves?"
"Ask him? But isn't he already..."
Allen stopped midsentence, because War Beast, who had just "died," was actually staggering to his feet!
And he hadn't just stood up. His presence and the impression he gave off had changed completely in an instant.
"Did I just... die?"
Never mind everyone else-even War Beast himself found it hard to believe. As he touched the blood on his face, he was certain he really had died just now.
"Never mind little things like dying. How do you feel now?"
As he spoke, Zuo Ci handed him two bottles of white potion.
"I wouldn't call dying a little thing... Wait, I think... I think I don't feel awful anymore!"
After his earlier experience, War Beast drank them without hesitation. As he felt his body gradually recover, he also realized that the extreme bloodlust that had always tormented him seemed to have vanished!
