Mahito deactivate the cursed technique and as he was about to walk away he felt that something was wrong.
*THUMP*
He felt his own soul beat like a heart. "What?"
*THUMP* *THUMP*
He looked at Jake and saw that his soul was beating just like that too, meaning he wasn't dead yet.
"What's happening"
And then something surprising happened, Jake's soul got out his body and went towards Mahito at insane speeds.
And when I saw insane speeds I mean it travelled through space and time itself to get to Mahito's soul.
Mahito's soul and Jake's started fusing together.
Mahito's creepy soul fused with Jake's, that was tainted with negative emotions. So it wasn't nowhere near pure.
The process was instant, result in a new, intense and bright new blue soul.
All it radiated was malice, and the cursed spirits in the vicinity could feel that.
His cursed energy increased by bounds when the two souls merged together and you could saw that new possibilities were unlocked, since Mahito's technique is directly linked to his soul that just became stronger than ever.
His outer appearance didn't change at all but the vibe around him changed.
Their personalities didn't even clash, they just merged.
The same could be said about their memories and morals.
Mahito/Jake scratched his head and said. "This is weird!
Why did I have to fuse with this childish curse?
I totally forgot about that skill!"
Talking seriously now, Mahito was born from the negative emotions of humans targeted at other humans.
While his other cursed spirit friends that were born from the fear of Earth, forests and seas, he was the weakest one out of them.
While he was the weakest one, he was the smartest and the one with the most potential.
The negative emotions between humans is stronger than everything.
Fear, anger, jealousy, doubt, envy... between humans gave birth to him.
And now that he has fused with a human that has went through heaven and hell he has reached a new height of power and his potential increased even more.
Jake was losing humanity before fusing with Mahito, but now...
He has lost all ties he had with humanity.
He was no longer human, he became a cursed spirit.
"What should I even call myself at this point?
I'll go with Mahito since I'm a curse and not human.
This is confusing and at the same time it's not.
But I can't say I dislike this new feeling, I don't feel empty anymore.
Maybe this was destined to happen."
Now that he knows what will happen with Mahito/himself in the future he is even more confident in his new self.
"I knew that Geto guy was no good.
He's going to absorb my technique in the future.
I need to be careful around him and his technique."
Mahito sat down and said. "What should I do right now?
I kind of want to stay in this world but I don't at the same time.
Jogo, Dagon and Hanami are my friends so I don't really want to abandon them.
All my friends as Jake are dead and I don't consider those two humans my friends.
Talking about humans, I still want to kill that old Yakuza Guy for what he did to me..."
Mahito rolled around the ground and complained. "I don't know what to do!!"
*WOOM*
He got up and sat on the ground looking at his pocket.
[Congratulations on successfully merging.
...
Now you have the ability to travel between the two worlds freely.]
"Oh, that's convenient.
I can just sent one of my clones to the normal world and stay here for a while.
But what do I do about JK?
I don't really want to deal with the boring leader stuff.
And normal JK members won't be able to see me since I'm a cursed spirit now...
How bothersome, I'll just dress my clone in the leader clothes and I won't show my face again.
And my clone can't use Idle Transfiguration, meaning it will only be able to change it's body shape and use the skills which is good enough I guess."
His body split in two and he said. "Can you access the inventory ?"
The clone looked at him with a deadpanned expression and said. "You know we are the same right, We think the same and we can share our thoughts.
And no, I can't access it."
"That's too bad, guess I'll have to give you everything beforehand.
Since you can't go to that world by yourself I'll just absorb you and bring you out again when we are in that world."
"That's good."
After Mahito absorbed his clone he felt his cursed energy and said. "This amount is bigger than before, and my 'body' is stronger than before."
Since his techniques relies on souls of course two souls merging into one would make directly stronger.
Mahito started walking away and he said. "There's no use for me to fight with that brat since nothing good would come out of it, I just have to wait until the Shibuya incident and do what I have to do.
And before Geto absorbs me I just switch worlds, no use worrying about my curse friends since they will appear again in 100 years."
He stopped walking and said. "Wait... What about the missions?
I still want to go on missions since the rewards are interesting to say the least.
Meh, I'll just send the clone there."
>>>>
Everything went like in the manga.
Gojo was sealed and Mahito was currently sulking.
He didn't want to take his chances with Geto since that guy could refine him into a shiny ball in a second.
Mahito's changes went unnoticed since he controlled his cursed energy output fairly well.
He knew his curses friends were about to get killed but he felt nothing about it, he knew they would come back in a hundred years.
But the weirdest thing that happened was the fact that more than a month has passed and no new mission was issued, and people couldn't even use the shop anymore.
They could only access their inventories and the guild option.
And that's weird to say the least.
He got up on his feet and said. "Let's go back now that my job is done, I would've been dead otherwise so..."
He pressed the button to go back to his world and he was now near that lake where he was fishing.
He changed the shape of his soul to that of a small bird, transforming himself into a small bird.
After some time of flying he finally arrived over the city of Tokyo, it looked much more peaceful than it was when he last went here.
His clone has been active around but just by going into occasional attacks.
Now that he was back himself he decided to go declare all out war on the Yakuza.
Since now he has a lot of time to actually kill those fuckers.
He communicated with his clone to start the all out war, so while his clone will fight on the front he will go and personally kill that old fucker.
After becoming Mahito, he became almost invincible.
As long as his soul doesn't get hit he is immortal.
Since even if he is crushed to bits with physical attacks, he can always alter the shape of his soul and make it normal again.
Mahito laned on a building, transformed back into his human form and said with a cold expression while looking at the city. "If something happened to that being resulting in him not being able to give us missions anymore means that the world will finally become stabilized.
That's disappointing since I was looking forward to going to other worlds but there's no use complaining.
It's time to leave everything behind and rule as king."
His goal always was to be at the top, so now with newfound confidence he already declared himself the king of the new world.
But in order to achieve that goal, he thew away every speck of humanity he had left, becoming a literal curse.
Mahito was somewhat right about the first thing, but what he didn't know that this was just the beginning.
Changes were bound to happen later and no one knows a thing.
