Hecate appears to be a young girl, somewhere between a teenage girl and a loli, but she possesses an innate serene temperament. She wears a large hat and has short, light blue hair somewhat similar to Wilhelmina's. If you ignore her identity, she is clearly just a stunningly beautiful young girl.

"What you're pursuing, what can satisfy you, is that 'Midnight Lost Child.' Go and assimilate with that container."

Just like a spell, even the Throne of the Three Pillars might just be a pawn for Belpeor to achieve her goals.

However, Hecate herself had no complaints. Shudnan took one last look at Hecate before leaving the empty hall with Bellpeor, leaving Hecate alone kneeling in the hall with her arms crossed over her chest like a girl praying to God.

Sky-blue flames ignited from Hecate's body, connecting her to Lin Yu as if she possessed sentience...

"Assimilation into a container, huh? That's really unsettling. My Hecate is going to be assimilated into that kind of Mystice..."

Xiudenan's words at this moment sounded like those of a strange old man; it was unclear whether his feelings for Hecate were those of a father and daughter or a demonic father...

"Isn't this Hecate's power? A power that no one can imitate."

Bellpeor didn't have the same complicated feelings as Schudnan; for her, achieving her goal was all that mattered.

At this moment, the two have already met in Lin Yu's mental world.

"who are you?"

Lin Yu felt his mind was in a fog, just like the groggy feeling when he woke up in the morning, and he couldn't muster any energy at all.

Opposite him, Hecate's figure was like a dream.

"The Throne of the Top - Hecate".

A soft, emotionless voice came from Hecate's mouth.

"Open the container and come to my side."

It wasn't an order, nor a request; it was as if Lin Yu was supposed to do it this way. With his mind in a complete daze, Lin Yu did as he was told without even thinking.

"I... am slowly opening it?"

Seemingly because his inner thoughts had been probed, Lin Yu finally regained a sliver of his rationality.

"Wait! Why am I here? What happened?"

Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!

Beyond the seal, the clock struck midnight. Hecate's capacity for the power of existence was inexhaustible. Now that she and Lin Yu had assimilated, the Lost Child of Zero hour released nearly endless power of existence to fill such a container.

Within the colossal, sky-city-like Starry Palace, a pale blue aura of existence gushed forth like a fountain—this was the so-called 'Fountain of Existence'...

[Some readers said that Lin Yu's strength was weak in the previous chapter... Even if he, a nerdy guy who has only been in the new world for a few days, has some kind of cheat, he shouldn't be able to fight against two of the top three pillars of the Crimson World so quickly, right? His capture here is purely for the sake of the plot, otherwise where would he find so much existence power? Enough said, just keep reading and you'll find out. This can't really be considered protagonist abuse, right?]

051. A burst of icy blue radiance!

"Shana..."

Lin Yu forced himself to wake up, but at this moment, his existence was like a book that anyone could read; his inner feelings, his past memories, everything was laid bare.

"What exactly do you want?!"

A past no one had ever known was being recklessly scrutinized, and the current situation of Shana, who had been ambushed, was unknown. At this moment, Lin Yu's heart was filled with anger and worry.

"I have been praying and seeking answers until now, and this must be it, the emotion that can fill me up."

Lin Yu could sense Hecate's intense longing. Her heart was blank, even empty. She yearned to obtain emotions and memories that were so simple for ordinary people, even if these emotions and memories did not belong to her!

Why not create your own memories and recollections?

She doesn't even have a self. This is the fact that Lin Yu felt during the process of assimilating with Hecate. This girl has clearly existed for countless days and nights, but she has no memories or feelings of her own. Her life can no longer be called a blank sheet of paper, but only an empty shell!

“I am merely a vessel, a vessel to hold the God I serve, so give me more, give me even more…”

Memories of the past surfaced like a scroll, images that Lin Yu had always kept in his heart but never actively recalled.

Lin Yu's spiritual body clenched his fists tightly, but then sighed softly and loosened them.

Hecate, are memories and feelings really that important to you?

Lin Yu's expression was complicated, and it was unclear what emotions he was feeling as he spoke to Hecate.

“It’s very important.” Although Hecate kept emphasizing that she was just a vessel, she actually had her own desires. She longed to fill the emptiness in her heart, so she kept resonating with all sorts of people.

Even if so-called feelings and memories only bring sadness and despair?

Lin Yu's tone was completely flat, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"Even so." Hecate has lived like a doll for too long. For her, whether the feelings are good or bad, as long as she can truly possess them, that is the most important thing.

"I understand."

Lin Yu suddenly laughed. He found that Hecate, one of the three pillar ministers and the 'Seat of the Pinnacle,' was frighteningly naive, so naive that it was heartbreaking.

He no longer resisted having his inner thoughts explored, and even took the initiative to open his heart.

"The memory you are looking at now is from when I was very young and went to an amusement park with my family for the first time. Because of my father's work, our family rarely had the opportunity to go out and play, so this memory has always been etched in my heart."

A gentle smile appeared on Lin Yu's face, as if he had returned to the age when he still needed his parents to hold his hand.

"I still remember going to the haunted house with my parents. Instead of being scared, we almost tore off the costume of the staff member dressed as a ghost."

Lin Yu was never a well-behaved child. Even when he was just starting elementary school, he dared to catch small insects to scare his female classmates. On his first trip to the amusement park, he was so excited that he made the staff of the haunted house question their existence. They said, "How can such a small child not be scared? What kind of haunted house is this?"

Of course, the haunted house they went to actually had a very good reputation. Most adults wouldn't dare to go a second time. Only an oddball like Lin Yu would go so far as to pull out the tongue of a hanged ghost. The staff basically had to smile and beg them to leave, repeatedly telling them never to come back.

This family almost completely destroyed their props, but thankfully the owner was honest and just gave a wry smile without asking for compensation.

Looking back now, I realize I was really asking for a beating when I was a kid.

Hecate looked up at Lin Yu's face with curiosity. Her expression was blank, so she naturally couldn't understand why anyone would say they deserved a beating.

"How should I put it? Looking at it now, I should be considered a typical troublemaker. I can't even remember how many troubles I caused when I was a kid."

"Cause trouble?" Hecate was a little confused.

"Yes, causing trouble means causing trouble for others, just like you took the liberty of looking into my memories without my permission. Hecate is also a troublesome child."

After so much time, Lin Yu had actually calmed down quite a bit. It was true that he had seen Shana injured with his own eyes, but there were also Margery Daw, a master of free magic, and Kamsin, a Flame Haze warrior who had the appearance of a child but was actually the oldest. The situation might not be as bad as he thought. Now he just needed to find an opportunity to leave.

Only after figuring these things out did Lin Yu have the mind to disturb the mind of Hecate, a typical emotionless loli. Of course, his purpose this time was really just to leave this place. He wasn't so heartless as to still be thinking about flirting with girls when Shana was injured.

"Bad boy..."

Hecate wasn't angry at these unpleasant adjectives; instead, a faint, almost imperceptible light appeared in her lifeless eyes.

“When I was a child, my father always wore his police uniform even when he was at home. He always liked to put his police hat on the table in the living room. It wasn’t for any superficial reason like showing off. It was just so that he could grab his hat and go when he received an emergency. Back then, I always liked to wear my father’s hat on my head to look cool. I even thought that I would become a policeman like my father when I grew up.”

Countless fragments of memories were displayed before Hecate. Strictly speaking, she was no longer a spy, because it was Lin Yu himself who was presenting these memories!

"I used to think I was the happiest person in the world. I had a father I was proud of and a mother who loved me dearly, but I never thought that so-called happiness could be so fragile."

Lin Yu chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"Do you want to keep watching? The memories that follow won't be as pleasant as they are now."

Although Lin Yu could already guess the answer before asking, he still asked anyway.

"Look, my heart is being filled, a feeling I've never experienced before, this feeling of fullness."

Hecate's previously expressionless face flushed red, as if she were enjoying something, experiencing a feeling of joy she had never felt in countless years!

"Really? But I'm sorry, I'll do it if there's another chance in the future."

Lin Yu smiled apologetically. After all, the two were enemies, and he had his own reasons for cooperating with them.

"Right now, there are still people I can't let go of!"

It was already quite remarkable that Lin Yu hadn't gone insane without seeing Shana safe and sound with his own eyes; therefore, he was determined not to waste too much time on Hecate.

"Why not now? You simply cannot resist assimilation with me."

Hecate spoke as if stating a fact, and if the person she was speaking to were not Lin Yu, then what she said would indeed be the truth.

"You underestimate me, or rather, you all underestimate me."

Lin Yu never sits idly by and waits for death. No matter what kind of adversity he is in, no one can bring him down. He was like that when he was ten years old, and he is still like that now!

"So, thank you for giving me so much time to transform the power of existence."

Ice-blue flames suddenly appeared in the spiritual world, one, two, three, and endless!

An extremely dangerous feeling emanated from the seemingly beautiful flames, and Hecate's exclamation overlapped with Lin Yu's mutterings.

"Now, unleash your full power!"

The next moment, the whole world seemed to be replaced by ice blue...

"destroy?"

"Absolutely not!"

An almost inexhaustible power of existence gushed forth from the Starry Palace like a fountain, and 'Ten Thousand Skillful Hands' Wilhelmina immediately decided that everyone should storm the Starry Palace together—with the goal of destroying the host of the Zero Hour Lost Child!

However, what she didn't expect was that Shana's attitude would be so resolute.

"illustrate."

Tiamat, whose head is adorned with a maid-style crown and the 'Dream Crown,' is always concise and striking.

"The host of the Zero Hour Lost Child is Xiaoyu. If it is him, he will definitely find a way to get out of it."

Shana's tone was firm and confident, without a trace of reluctance, clearly showing that she had absolute confidence in Lin Yu.

"I can't understand it."

Tiamat and Wilhelmina, who had just arrived, naturally couldn't understand where Shana's confidence came from. In their eyes, Lin Yu was just an incredibly weak Missis, how could he possibly escape from the clutches of the Crimson World's group, the "Masquerade Ball" Three Pillars?

"It's too early to draw conclusions."

Even though the entire city is currently experiencing a "rain of existence," Kamsin remains calm. He has lived for too long and has seen too many storms. Although the current situation is urgent, it is still not as serious as the battles he has participated in before.

"Regardless of whether we damage Mistis, one thing we can be sure of now is that we must force our way into the Starry Palace. As for what happens next, we'll talk about that later."

Kamsin was not only calm and collected, but also a strong leader; at least, no one present could refute his words.
