You Can't Do It

"I advise you not to do that."

Fang Li suddenly spoke up and said something like this.

Upon hearing this, Hecate was slightly taken aback.

"What?" Shudenan was already unhappy about the matter, and now that Fang Li had said this, he immediately said with a hint of sarcasm, "Are you scared?"

"Don't worry, Hecate's assimilation won't harm the user," Belphegor. "Hecate is a container that can hold any object and has the property of assimilation and fusion. Once you assimilate with Hecate, everything you have will belong to Hecate."

Upon hearing this, Fang Li said calmly, "That's why I said it's best not to do it."

Fang Li's almost indifferent demeanor caused Belphegor raise an eyebrow and fall silent, seemingly pondering the meaning behind Fang Li's words.

Even Hecate raised her eyes, looked at Fang Li, and spoke softly.

"Why?"

Hecate's question only elicited an even more indifferent response.

"Your container is far too small to hold everything about me."

These words immediately made all Three Pillars widen their eyes.

"Ha!" Shudenan seemed amused and said, "This is the first time I've heard of Hecate being criticized for being too small as a vessel. This is truly hilarious!"

Belphegor smiled as well, though she didn't show it as directly as Shudenan, but it was clear that she didn't take it seriously at all.

Only Hecate, in a voice still devoid of any emotion, softly said, "I can contain almost infinite Power of Existence. Theoretically, there is no limit to the size of a vessel. Therefore, your statement has no basis whatsoever."

Fang Li lowered his head, looked at the girl who was only up to his waist, and spoke calmly.

"Perhaps your capacity as a container is infinite, but you yourself are finite."

"You can't accommodate everything about me."

Hecate fell silent.

Not only Hecate, but even Shudenan and Belphegor fell silent, their brows furrowed tightly.

Unfortunately, although I don't agree with Fang Li's statement, Fang Li's unnaturally calm attitude makes people suspicious.

Could it be that Fang Li still has something to rely on?

Just as Shudenan and Belphegor were thinking this, Hecate took the initiative to act.

"I am infinite; nothing can fill my body."

Hecate's voice sounded as if it came from a very distant place, and it carried a hint of emptiness.

"Therefore, my heart is also empty, and has never been filled."

This is Hecate.

As a vessel that can theoretically contain infinite Power of Existence, Hecate has never been filled. Over the years, all she has possessed is an unsatisfied heart and body.

Therefore, Fang Li's words did not resonate with Hecate.

Hecate has never seen anything that cannot be contained by it.

Because Hecate can accommodate an infinite amount of space.

"It's just a human being."

Hecate's voice echoed softly.

"Your words cannot fill me."

The words had barely left his lips.

"Bang—!"

With a deafening explosion, flames erupted on Hecate's body.

Those were sky-blue flames.

It was an extremely pure sky-blue flame, seemingly untouched by anything, without the slightest impurity.

Her entire body was engulfed in flames as Hecate slowly closed her eyes.

The sky-blue flames on its body began to expand.

In the end, both Fang Li and Hecate were engulfed in flames.

At this moment, Hecate could feel something flowing into her body like water.

Hecate is a container.

Therefore, when integrating with external things, it is more accurate to say that it is absorbed rather than assimilated.

External things are transformed into fillers and injected into one's own body, which is the container.

This is the assimilation of Hecate.

In such a situation, everything that is assimilated by Hecate will become Hecate's property.

memory.

miss.

heart.

nature.

Even its existence.

Now, Hecate is gradually acquiring everything in the Fang Li, absorbing the Fang Li into her body and injecting it into her vessel.

Just as Hecate said, as a vessel, her size is infinite.

In that case, the possessions of a mere human being are simply not enough to fill Hecate.

However, at the very moment Hecate Fang Li, Hecate discovered it.

I found myself in a place.

We arrived at a vast ocean.

"A black... ocean?"

Hecate was stunned.

That's right.

The ocean that appeared before him was not the azure blue of common knowledge, but black.

An extremely deep and pure black.

Where is this place?

Hecate was bewildered.

Hecate immediately realized what was happening.

"This is his soul."

Naturally, the soul is also an object of Hecate's assimilation.

And so, this boundless ocean is slowly flowing into Hecate's body.

"Boom—!"

The entire black sea suddenly trembled, and waves surged towards Hecate.

Immediately afterwards, Hecate saw it.

I saw things in the waves.

I saw the record of this ocean.

"Boom—!"

The surging sea stirred up towering waves, causing the seawater to churn around Hecate, gradually forming a huge whirlpool centered on Hecate.

However, it was not an ordinary ocean at all.

The water in the ocean is not ordinary seawater either.

Every drop of water in those seawater records something.

That is death.

Die of old age.

Died of illness.

poison.

Burned to death.

starve.

He was killed.

The death of a person.

The death of things.

The death of the beast.

The death of flowers, plants, and trees.

The death of all things is recorded in this ocean.

Hecate is assimilating this vast ocean.

Therefore, at this moment, countless deaths surged into Hecate's heart and flowed into her body.

"————!"

Hecate let out a silent scream.

Having endured all kinds of death, and even the death of all things, Hecate felt everything that death itself brought.

That is fear.

That is despair.

Fang Li was able to endure it because these deaths were recorded one by one by his own soul.

However, Hecate absorbed all the death that did not belong to her into her body in one breath.

The outcome is self-evident.

"————!"

With a silent scream, Hecate disappeared from the scene.
