Getting a formal greeting from an entity like her, Reve's face flushed, "Ehh….yes."

She didn't say anything further than that and kept looking at Reve with a smile that appeared wider in Reve's mind.

"Now, shall we begin?" said Amethyst.

He pushed Reve to the center of the hall and sighed, "Protect him. I'm starting now."

"Sure," the blue woman responded.

She didn't move from her spot but she did send a blue dome of energy that covered Reve. The emperor cat simply stared as the two dismissed him, not bothering to offer him any explanation.

Why did he need to be protected? Wasn't it a simple transference of power?

Out of nowhere, this portion of the world turned to night. The stars illuminated the nightlife along with the cool moon.

"#@#&@#"

A solemn sound echoed throughout the hall. Along with it came a sight Reve would never forget in his life.

Amethyst glowed up.

No, he didn't just glow up. His skin turned blue just like the world administrator and lines began to appear on it. They resembled the lines that showed anytime an enchant spell was activated but this one felt more authentic.

Staring at the colorful lines would make one feel like they were capable of communicating. Beneath those lines were powers that far surpassed the mythical runes. The body marks went all the way to his face and he became more beautiful than ever.

His right purple eye revealed its true power. Hidden beneath those eyes was a world of stars. Thousand of stars hovered around one big one. As this transformation began, his sheer size began to multiply. In a span of ten seconds, he was the size of a giant, easily towering all the mighty trees in the forest, and he didn't seem to be stopping.

Even with the barrier protecting, Reve's eyes burned intensely. His body seemed to be set on flame and it made him remember a favorite Arcadia quote.

"Do not stare at the god!"

Understanding its meaning, Reve decisively stopped his curiosity and closed his eyes. To safeguard himself, he faced the ground, not daring to look up.

A while later and all Reve could hear was hymns being played by the world itself. They rang in his ear like a melody that had been kept hold for centuries.

"Khaos..."

"...Prince of Phaents….."

".....Drakoi….."

"...Akasha...."

Along with many others, these were the titles of the god whom Reve referred to as Amethyst. His mere transformation enacted a phenomenon that could destroy the world.

Meanwhile, Reve's mental world was under heavy pressure. He found it hard to breathe as he could feel the actual pressure of a god beside. The god lay naked before him.

A few moments passed by and the pressure diminished. It retracted back to the source.

An apathetic voice said to him, "Do not open your eyes."

It was as cold as the ice buried in the northern region. There was absolutely no emotion within every word. Listening to it, Reve trembled in great fear. He tightly closed his eyes. Blood dripped due to his forceful actions.

The voice called him again, "Reve. Do you accede to the transference? Do you comprehend the power that will be gifted to you? Do you think yourself worthy of it?"

"Yes," whispered Reve.

Amethyst told him once the transference began, he couldn't turn back. There was no backing out or he would be killed like a bug. He had told him that the "him" conducting the transference would be more cruel than he could ever imagine.

"Do you find yourself capable of withstanding the greys of this power?"

"Yes."

"You shall bear my name. Do you acquiesce?"

"Yes."

"Do you comprehend the dangers that shall befall you for carrying my name? It is not just my name. It is the name of a union that holds the cosmic power."

"Yes."

"Then, we shall begin. Following the agreement, you shall bear a part of me. You have two options. One, bear the power. Two, refine the powers to become yours and consume it. I will assist you with both options."

Reve was suddenly put on the spot. He had no idea what he wanted. Bearing someone's power or bearing his. The previous agreement was to bear Amethyst's power, but if he could make it his, it would surely benefit him in the long run.

However, was it ever so simple?

The price of greed was too great for a mortal. His [Telekinesis] skill was a perfect example of that.

Nonetheless, the offer was too good.

Reve answered, "I choose option two."

"Affirmative. Lay down," commenced the godly voice.

With his eyes closed, Reve did as he was told. His face was no longer facing the ground but he still didn't dare open them. He wasn't about to turn to salt.

The voice then trailed Reve's body with his cold nails. His nails drew smoothly cut Reve's skin cruelly.

The voice whispered into his ear, "The tri-orb. The overlord of pure power. Drink it and despair. Your mind cries. Once you control it, it becomes yours........Drink it!"

The voice nudged Reve's cat mouth open and dripped a frost liquid into it.

Once the liquid invaded Reve, the cat lost all sense of taste. His other senses dulled and he entered a peculiar state. He was floating in the abyss.

Finally, what he had been preparing for came to him. A freezing sensation radiated from his chest. Reve could feel the existence of the liquid there. It froze his heart quickly and everything ended. His entire body stopped but his nerves were somehow still connected.

The cool liquid in his body began condensing into a solid form. It turned into a spiky ball that pierced his body. A shock traveled through his body as he began to scream like a madman.

"Ahhhh!!!"

He wanted it to stop

'Someone, make it stop, please!'

The orb consumed his heart bit by bit. It moved on to tear apart all his other organs.

"Ahhhhh!"

Little by little, it made Reve wish he was already dead. It brought with it waves of mental ailments that tortured Reve like a great evil.

It was then he understood why the voice asked a lot of questions
