"What—" Theo wanted to struggle, but the woman suddenly appeared in front of him in a flash. He couldn't say anything before her two hands arrived next to his head.
The hands were excluding black-colored energy. Once they seeped into his body through his ears, nose, and mouth, Theo suddenly scread at the top of his lungs.
"Aaaaahhhhhh!" A sharp pain started entering his body. It felt like he was being stabbed by nurous needles from the inside.
Once the energy reached his brain, the sharp pain turned into a hot, burning pain as if he was being incinerated. Theo kept shouting.
He wanted to pass out at this mont, but no matter how painful it was, his consciousness remained awake.
Tears flowed out of the corner of his eyes and his eyes gradually turned blank.
Theo couldn't even think of anything at this point. It felt like his entire existence was being erased one by one. The mory of his parents, his reason for becoming stronger… More and more mories started to disappear from his head.
And the pain he endured was beyond what anyone could imagine. It felt like he was being ripped apart continuously.
The process took more than a week. As expected, removing sixteen years of mories manually was a hard task.
Not only for the woman, but also for Theo. The pain continued and Theo gradually lost his reason due to the pain.
He just wanted to die under his pain, but he couldn't.
He started begging the woman just to kill him to stop this pain. But he couldn't let out his voice due to the unimaginable pain.
In the end, the entire week passed with Theo being tortured alive. It was a long process and once it finished, Theo was left with an empty gaze.
He looked like a broken toy, not able to reason anymore. He only wanted to die and end all this pain.
Yet, the mont the torture ended, blue particles started to surround him as a new mory began to flood.
This was the mory that the clone Theo experienced during the torture.
Obviously, the snake and the woman witnessed the anomaly.
"This is…" The woman looked shaken while the snake frowned, asking, "What is happening? Shouldn't he have been released from mory? He has undergone such pain. All I want to do is end everything for him so he can reincarnate…"
The woman shook her head. "I'm not sure right now. This anomaly doesn't seem to be that simple. There is an influx of mory coming into him along with so Magic Power. It feels like he is getting stronger as ti goes… But I don't think that's all there is to it…"
"What?" The snake frowned. On the one hand, he couldn't believe what she said, considering it was too absurd. On the other hand, he knew that Theo was an anomaly that they had never encountered before.
They had found a few souls with their mory and personality from ti to ti. But once they erased them, the soul could easily go into the cycle of reincarnation.
But this was the first ti they found a soul that received new mory and even Magic Power after the cleansing process. It was as if Theo was supposed to die but couldn't.
If this continued, Theo would just keep getting a new mory. Even if the woman kept erasing it, they couldn't send him to the cycle of reincarnation due to the influx of mory.
"Can you block the flow?" The snake asked.
"No. It's impossible." The woman shook her head. She also wanted to end Theo's pain. Even though this was her job, she could still sympathize with Theo. But this was sothing beyond her control.
The woman thought for a mont. "If he keeps getting the mory, it's impossible to erase them continuously. It will be the sa as having endless torture… But at the sa ti, we can't allow him to roam with the mory intact since it will cause chaos in Helheim.
"As for his condition, after working with his mory, it seems that he has received a weird skill called 'Clone.' This skill seems to be able to copy everything from body to soul.
"To put it simply, the one who is controlling his body seems to be his own clone. And it seems that his body has started decaying, but because the clone's body is still alive, it can't perish."
The snake seed to be pitying Theo as he said, "Are you telling that he can't die yet? What happens if his clone dies?"
"That's…" The woman thought for a mont, trying to find the solution with her ability. "If the clone dies, then the clone's soul will enter this place as well. But with all the mory intact as well due to this anomaly.
"When that happens, we only have three possibilities. The first possibility is that the clone is absorbing the real soul. This is the safest route… which is basically waiting for the clone soul to die and rge with the real soul.
"But because I have erased the real soul's mory, there will be a gap that will cause friction when they rge. Hence, the solution is to erase his mory once again. With the real soul becoming a blank slate, the clone soul should be able to absorb the real soul.
"With the soul becoming complete, we can finally cleanse him once more and send him to the cycle of reincarnation."
"…" The snake frowned. Just hearing the explanation allowed him to imagine the pain both of them would endure. The real soul seed to be the winner in this case, considering the pain that the real soul would have to endure was gradual while the clone soul would endure the cleansing process for a longer ti.
But it seed that Theo didn't have the sa opinion as the snake.
When he heard his clone would devour him in the blank state, he couldn't help but mutter inwardly, 'My own clone will devour ? Devour? ?'
