The Reincarnation Room
Hecate Fear

Hearing Ryan's statement, Hecate fell silent and instantly stopped the activation of his power.

“What?” Sydonay, from the beginning, disagreed in this way. And now, Ryan suddenly spoke like that. This made Sydonay slightly insinuate. “Could you be afraid?”

“Of course I'm not afraid. I'm just not sure he can do it.” replied Ryan.

Bel Peol smiled kindly and said, “Hecate is a container that can hold any object. He has the ability to assimilate and merge with the objects he houses. As long as you assimilate with Hecate, then everything in your body, including your soul, will belong to Hecate.”

“That's why I advised him not to do it.” Ryan said in an indifferent manner. 

Seeing Ryan's indifferent expression, Bel Peol began to raise his eyebrows and inevitably contemplate the meaning of Ryan's words.

In fact, the emotionless person like Hecate, started to get curious about Ryan's intentions. He looked at Ryan and whispered, “Why?”

“Because your container is too small to be able to accommodate everything I have.”

Ryan's answer, making Sydonay and Bel Peol's eyes wide.

“Hahahahaha!” Sydonay laughed loudly and said, “This is the first time I heard that the Hecate container is too small, so funny!”

Bel Peol also smiled. Although he did not laugh directly as Sydonay did, he also had the same opinion as Sydonay.

While Hecate, in an emotionless tone whispered, “I can swallow as much Power of Existence as I can. My container has no restrictions at all, so your words are very unfounded.

Ryan lowered his head and looked at the waist-high girl. “Maybe by size, you do have a container of unlimited size. But, that does not mean your soul is also unlimited.”

“That limitation will make it impossible for you to swallow me.”

Hecate fell silent again.

Not just Hecate. Even Sydonay and Bel Peol fell silent while furrowing their brows.

‘That's impossible! Although I do not believe the words of the man, but his calm demeanor is very unnatural, I became very worried about Hecate.’ thought Sydonay.

At the same time, Bel Peol also placed suspicion on Ryan's attitude. ‘Do humans have a way to reverse the power of Hecate?’

As Sydonay and Bel Peol fell into each other's minds, Hecate began to open her mouth. “My container size is unlimited. No one can fill my body.”

Hecate's voice sounded like it was coming from a very far away place, and there was a slight void within it. 

“Then from that, my heart is also always empty and never filled.”

This was the essence of Hecate. As a container that could theoretically hold unlimited Power of Existence, Hecate always felt hollow. For many years, nothing could satisfy his soul as well as his body.

Therefore, Hecate disagreed with Ryan's words. Because until now, he had never seen his container full. Whatever it was, no matter how much it was, Hecate could absorb it all.

“You are only human. It could not happen.” said Hecate in a low voice.

Wuush

Instantly, the sky-blue colored flames started to ignite and burn Hecate's body.

The flame looked extremely pure, as if it was completely untainted by anything.

As the entire flame burned through his body, Hecate began to close his eyes. The sky blue flame quickly propagated into Ryan's body and also burned it, until finally both Ryan and Hecate were both enveloped in the sky blue flames.

~***~

At this moment, Hecate could feel an existence flowing like water, and slowly entering into his body.

Hecate is a container. Therefore, the first stage before assimilation is absorption, where the Hecate will absorb external things and put them into the body.

After Hecate absorbed the entire existence of the object he absorbed, then all of it would be assimilated and belong to Hecate.

As Hecate attempts to assimilate with Ryan, she finds herself standing somewhere.

As far as the eye could see, all around him was an endless black sea. 

Hecate was quite surprised by the sight presented in front of him. The color of the sea is generally blue. However, the color of the sea here is a deep black that feels very deep and also pure.

"Where is this?" Hecate's confused.

The soul was also the object that Hecate would absorb. Therefore, Hecate unhesitatingly began to devour this endless ocean slowly.

BOOMING

The entire black sea suddenly trembled, resulting in a huge wave crashing towards Hecate.

The raging sea had created a sea of turbulent waves, allowing the sea water to swell around Hecate and gradually become a huge whirlpool.

Shortly after, Hecate saw him. He can see all the records stored in this ocean.

This is definitely not an ordinary ocean. And the water in this ocean is also not ordinary sea water.

In this black sea, every drop of water recorded one thing. And that's death.

Death by old age, poison, burning alive, hunger, being killed, and so on. All forms of death are recorded in every drop of sea water.

It is not only the death of man that is recorded, but also the death of things, animals, plants, and everything that can die.

Hecate subduedly absorbed all the seawater. 

"!!!"

Hecate's heart suddenly jolted.

By absorbing all that water, Hecate could feel the death of everything recorded in the water. 

Because of this, Hecate was finally able to feel the emotions that death had brought.

It was an emotion called fear, and also despair.

The reason why Ryan could bear it was because Ryan had the Mystic Eye of Death Perception.     

However, Hecate who did not have the Mystic Eye of Death Perception instead absorbed Ryan's body along with the ocean filled with death footage.

As a result, Hecate also shouted in fear.

~***~

"Aaaarghhhh!"

Above the altar, among the sky blue flames, an extremely loud shouting voice suddenly sounded. As a result, the flames surrounding Ryan and Hecate instantly extinguished.

"!!!"

This sudden change made Bel Peol's expression change. Immediately, he immediately rushed off into the altar.

"Hecate!" Without a doubt, Sydonay immediately approached Hecate's body.

There, Hecate had been sitting on the ground while continuing to hold his head, as if he had been having an unimaginable nightmare, making his entire body tremble.

Unlike Hecate, Ryan still stood firm with the chain that bound him. He just looked at Hecate who was sitting in front of him with a calm expression.

“Hecate.” Bel Peol crouched down hugging Hecate and quickly asked, "What happened?"

Hecate did not answer at all. He just kept shaking while holding his head. He closed his eyes tightly, like a man in pain and fear.

"I don't want any more!"

"Please don't get into my body!"

Hecate's appearance, which usually looked holy and had no emotions, had now turned 180 degrees. This made Bel Peol's eyes filled with powerful fury fluctuations.     

Seeing all this, Sydonay could no longer hold back his emotions.     

Creek

With a crisp sound, Ryan's neck was immediately strangled by Sydonay's hand which had somehow since turned into a tiger's hand.

Those sharp nails slowly penetrated Ryan's neck skin and made the blood from his neck drip out.
