Chapter 2059 Pain



The snake brought the original Theo to another place. Though, there was no way he would be able to remain silent during the entire trip.

"What are you doing? Release me. Who are you?!" The original Theo gritted his teeth, struggling with all his might. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he used his strength, the tongue didn't budge. At the same time, the snake also didn't use all its strength since the grip was tight but only enough to restrain him.

The snake looked at Theo without any change of expression. It seemed that the snake didn't have any intention of engaging in any conversation with him.

"What are you? Where am I?" The original Theo kept asking, trying to find out about his situation. Unfortunately, the more he asked a question, the more indifferent the snake became.

He wanted to start insulting the snake since it might be the only way to change that expression, but he knew that he would die if the snake truly wanted to kill him.

In addition, the snake said he was a soul. So, he couldn't help but think that he had died, especially after seeing all those lifeless souls moving in the same direction.

For unknown reasons, his soul came out of his body and got taken over by someone else. He wanted to think this was the result of accepting the God of Mischief's offer, but it was public knowledge that the ones giving the blessing wouldn't be able to do something like that.

So, he was confused. He wanted to know about his situation, but the snake didn't even bother answering a single question.

After ten minutes of struggle, the snake finally let him go, putting him down.

"!!!" Theo widened his eyes in surprise. He immediately turned around since the snake wouldn't put him down for no reason.

It turned out they had reached another place. This time, there was a bridge separating this land into a unique land in front of him.

The unique land had a tower of light that shot to the sky as if they were connected. With his strength, he couldn't see the details around it, so he could only focus on the bridge.

He thought the snake would tell him another thing, but he suddenly noticed a black-robed female. Half of her body looked like a human, but the other part was rotten like a zombie.

He couldn't help but freak out seeing such an appearance. Even though he didn't scream, he still took a step back, feeling scared.

As if knowing his anxiety, the female asked, "Who are you?"

"Me?" Theo's body shook. On the one hand, he felt weird that the female was talking to him. On the other hand, the snake was the one who brought him here. So, he looked at both the female and the snake first before deciding to answer out of fear. "I am… Theodore Griffith. Who are you? Why am I here? Why did you bring me to this place?"

The female fell silent for a moment.

"I see… an anomaly within the soul." The female closed her eyes for a moment.

The snake asked, "Do you think you can send him to the reincarnation cycle?"

The original Theo turned around. He thought the snake was mute, but it seemed that it just didn't want to talk to him.

"I have to check his condition first." The female started walking across the bridge while explaining, "It seems that you are confused. So, I'll give you a brief explanation of this place.

"I don't know if you are aware of this name, but this place is called Helheim."

"Helheim? One of the realms in Norse Mythology?"

"It seems that you are aware of this name. That makes it easier. Helheim is the last place where we assign the soul to the afterlife. Judging from your soul, I can see that you die in battle. Hence, you are going to Valhalla… Basically, you are going to enter the cycle of reincarnation.

"However, before entering the cycle of reincarnation, the soul has to undergo a cleansing process. To put it simply, your memories have to be wiped out and your personality has to cease to exist."

"!!!" Theo instantly understood what she was talking about. Even though he was scared, he still opened his mouth, asking with a shaking voice. "Are you saying that I have died? And I have to reincarnate… But you say I'm an anomaly…"

The woman was a bit amused by Theo's reaction. She nodded with a calm expression. "Indeed. It seems that you have already connected everything in your head. That's why—"

Before the woman finished, Theo shouted, "Wait a minute. I haven't died. It's true that I was heavily injured after that attack, but I still saw my body moving."

"…" The woman suddenly became silent. Theo didn't seem to be lying in this situation. But she still couldn't believe everything Theo said.

The woman approached Theo with a serious expression. Meanwhile, the snake asked, "So, what should we do?"

"I have the task to guide the soul to the cycle of reincarnation. This is the first time I've encountered such a situation. Either way, nothing will change. We still have to erase his personality and memory before guiding him to the cycle of reincarnation.

"After all, letting someone reincarnate with their memory intact will cause a disturbance in the world's order." The woman looked at Theo and said, "We are going to forcefully remove it."

The woman didn't have any emotion when giving the instruction, as if she was just following the protocol.

The snake nodded and said, "Alright. I will help you. It will put a burden on his soul, though."

"It's not a problem. He won't remember once he gets to the cycle of reincarnation." The woman replied without hesitation.

"What are you planning to do?"  Theo couldn't help but feel chills down his spine. He took a step back, wanting to run away from this place.

But before he could do it, the snake's tongue had circled around him, capturing him again.

"!!!"
