The King of Curses Can't Stop Me from Becoming an Idol Ch. 81

"Ugh, seriously, what an idiot," he muttered, looking at the unconscious girl.

He genuinely thought she was brainless—just handing over her most vulnerable part, her brain, without setting any binding conditions, and letting him take over her body completely.

Still, he hadn't planned on taking advantage of the situation. Right now, what he wanted more than stealing her body was getting his own back and going all out in a fight with her.

With the girl asleep, he took full control of the body.

Gojo had just finished his phone call when he noticed something off about her aura. He turned—and saw the girl open her eyes, all four of them.

"Sukuna? Where's Kiki-chan? What are you two up to?" he asked curiously.

Sukuna didn't answer. He casually snapped the bone of the left index finger, and after confirming that the girl was still sound asleep in the innate domain, he nonchalantly used reverse cursed technique to heal the injury.

Only then did he glance at Gojo, speaking with open malice, "That idiot fell asleep and handed over her body without setting a single condition."

"What do you think she'll do if I kill you right now and she wakes up to that?"

Gojo didn't look the least bit scared. Instead, he gave a cheerful grin and said, "Oh? Then go ahead."

Sukuna paused for a beat, realizing Gojo had guessed that he didn't actually want to make a move. Clicking his tongue in boredom, he dropped the topic.

...

Saki regained consciousness at eight in the evening. The moment she woke up, all the memories from her body while she was asleep rushed into her mind.

It was only now that she realized how dangerous it had been to hand her body over to Sukuna so recklessly.

But even after realizing it, she didn't really care. After all, Sukuna hadn't done anything to her—he just used her body to go see Dr. Genus, handed over the finger, and got her clone body set up.

Her mind was completely focused on something else.

"Sukuna, I didn't dream at all while I was asleep like that. Why didn't you think of this sooner?" she said excitedly. "From now on, I'm sleeping in your domain every night."

Sukuna: "..."

"Get lost," he shot back without hesitation.

...

Thanks to Sukuna helping her sleep without dreams, Saki's sleep schedule finally got back on track. She had a chill, happy week, and then suddenly felt like checking in on her clone body.

The clone needed half a month to fully develop, and it had only been a week—so Sukuna's clone was still in its early child stage.

The takoyaki shop's basement had been remodeled into a lab by Dr. Genus.

Bright fluorescent lights lit the entire space like it was daytime. As soon as Saki walked in, her eyes went straight to the giant glass tank in the center of the room.

The tank was filled with pale green nutrient fluid, its base hooked up to all kinds of large, complex machinery. Floating inside was a child who looked about seven or eight years old, with tubes inserted into his arms, legs, and even his neck.

Unlike normal kids, this one had four arms and four eyes. The right side of his face was partially covered with something like a mask—it looked like a second face. There was even a mouth on his stomach. The whole thing looked seriously weird.

But Saki wasn't scared of his bizarre appearance at all. In her world, monsters came in all kinds of freaky shapes—this was nothing.

All she said, proudly, was, "Hah! You're definitely not as good-looking as me."

Sukuna: "..."

Once she finished comparing their looks, her attention drifted to even weirder stuff.

"You've got two mouths. Can the one on your stomach eat? And if it does, does the food go straight into your stomach?"

Sukuna: "..."

"You've got four hands. So when you shower, do you wash your hair with one pair and scrub your body with the other?"

Sukuna: "..."

Ryomen Sukuna didn't feel like dealing with the girl.

Saki still wanted to ask more questions, but just then, Genus couldn't help but speak up. "Kiki, who are you talking to?"

"I'm talking to myself," Saki answered calmly.

That was obviously just an excuse, but since Genus saw that she didn't want to explain, he didn't push it and instead changed the subject. "Where'd you get that weirdo gene from?"

"This body is literally perfect. It's still in its juvenile phase, and its physical strength has already surpassed that of the Asura Kabuto."

He sounded clearly excited.

The Asura Kabuto was the most powerful experiment he'd ever created. It was so strong and uncontrollable that he'd had to keep it locked deep underground. Sadly, it later got blown up by one punch from Saitama.

"Can't tell you," Saki shook her head and refused.

"Then how about I help modify it a bit? If we fuse it with the Asura's genes..." Genus was slipping into mad scientist mode.

"No. He's not some lab rat," Saki shot him down again without hesitation. "He's already not that good-looking—what if your modifications make him even uglier?"

"What does appearance matter? If this body goes in the right direction, it might even have a shot at breaking the limiter," Genus said, still trying to convince her.

"What's the limiter?" Saki asked curiously.

"All living creatures have limits set by God. No matter how hard you try, you can't break through them... unless you shatter the limiter. And once that happens, the creature gains unlimited potential," Genus explained, then added, "You and your brother are both beings who have broken the limiter."

Saki was stunned. This was the first time she'd heard of this theory.

"You guys must've noticed it yourselves. No matter how strong the enemy is, even when your original power isn't enough, you two always manage to grow rapidly in battle."

"That's because you've broken the limiter—you've got unlimited growth potential."

Saki tilted her head in a cute way and said innocently, "I've never run into anyone stronger than me."

"That was bragging. That was definitely bragging," Genus muttered, feeling defeated again.

Inside the inner domain, Sukuna looked thoughtful. If this was true, he'd really need to rethink his approach for their bet match.

"So, do you want my help or not? I seriously think this body has the best chance I've seen so far at breaking the limiter," Genus circled back to the topic.

"Still no," Saki refused without a second thought. "The experiment might work, but it might fail too. This body's valuable—I'm not letting you use it for experiments."

Seeing how firm she was, Genus had no choice but to give up.

Saki didn't stick around the lab much longer. Once her curiosity was satisfied, she left with a light step.

Three days later, she came running back to check the growth progress again. This time, the moment she stepped into the lab, she let out a yelp and instantly covered her eyes.

The clone stayed inside the nutrient fluid for the whole growth process, so obviously it couldn't be wearing clothes. Last time she came by, the clone was still just a little kid, so she hadn't paid it any attention. But this time, the clone had taken on its adult form.
