Chapter 21: Merging
...
"Then what about Inanna's soul?" Ivery asked
"She was reborn when she had died, I sent her soul for reincarnation...into the family of a duke...in this world...and I'm sure you are very well acquainted with her" Hecate's voice sounded out in the room
"What do you mean?" Inanna looked up at Hecate who hovered above the floor
"I'm sure you are familiar with her new name..." Hecate smiled
"Her new name? I know Inanna's reincarnation?" Ivery was beyond surprised, she didn't think Inanna was in this world anymore
"Her name is now Beatrice Garciel"
"...." Ivery was speechless
...
"Inanna is Beatrice?" Ivery couldn't believe it
"Correct, I attached her soul to be the offspring the Duke of the Garciel mansion...I did not predict that he'd fall in love with a commoner and create Inanna with her...but that is what happened...but I will not let her suffer misfortune" Hecate said
"Will you make her an infinite attribute holder too then?" Ivery questioned Hecate
"No...that girl is not suited to have such power, but I did add a boost to her magical prowess...just so that she is not considered weak" Hecate shook her head
"Hades and I...are never making anymore infinite attribute holders...power that can be equivalent to gods.." Hecate told Ivery
"If those powers given to too many people without proper guidance...would cause chaos and destruction, it is up to the two of you to continue the line of infinite attribute holders" Hecate said
"Continue the line..." Ivery felt odd hearing that, it was a mix of embarrassment and nervousness, it was something she hadn't felt in a while
"Being the only two infinite attribute holders in existence, your infinite attributes are completely genetic and all of your offspring will undoubtedly have infinite attributes, but if one of you were to have offspring with a noninfinite attribute holder, it will decrease the chances of your offspring having infinite attributes" Hecate explained
"What if our children have children? Our children won't have partners that are infinite attribute holders.." Luther inquired
"Do not worry, if you two have offspring together, your descendants will receive infinite attributes, that's how the genes of original infinite attribute holders work if they combine, infinite attributes will only run through the Vandell and Lilith bloodline, the future of your bloodline will be amazing, but you soon will see that for yourselves one day.."
"Your fates are both tied together...and there is an uncuttable red string connecting the two of you...I see it, you two are destined for each other" Hecate smiled
..
"Wait! What about my original body? What's going to happen to...me?" Ivery worriedly asked
"It is here" Hecate waved her hand and a young girl wrapped in bright purple light...16 years old appeared next to Hecate, floating beside her, seeming unconscious
Still wearing the same blue striped PJs she wore the exact night she was sent to this world...her body didn't age a day...her long dark brown hair looked well kept, her skin fair but not flawless as Inanna's.
"It seems so surreal seeing my own body...from this point of view.." Ivery would've sworn she was dreaming...but she knew all too well that all of this was her new reality
"This is you?" Luther stepped closer to her body
"Yes.." Ivery nodded
"What's going to happen to my original body?" Ivery looked up at Hecate
"You have a choice...absorb your original body and merge together with it and have it be a small percentage of your new body and gain strength and power...or have me send it to a place beyond time and space...for eternity...as if that body never existed" Hecate propositioned
"I'll absorb...me" Ivery felt so weird about it...but it was her body she was born with after all..
"Very well" Hecate slowly released Ivery's body and it slowly floated down and laid on the floor
Ivery walked to herself...and kneeled down beside..herself.
"Hold the hand of the body" Hecate told Ivery
Ivery grabbed her body's hand...it was cold..
She held her body's hand tightly....
"Luther...this process will aggravate her soul immensely and it will certainly hurt...so hold her tightly.." Hecate requested
"Of course" Luther sat behind Ivery on the floor and wrapped his arms tightly around her waist
...
"Close your eyes and think of anything that your body can absorb...like water and connect that thought with your magic and create a powerful surge" Hecate explained
Ivery did as Hecate said and closed her eyes, she thought of a cup of water...and pictured herself drinking the water...and thought deep about where the water would travel and how her body would use it for energy and strength.
Golden electrical sparks traveled across Ivery's body, the electric sparks spread to her original body and covered it in the same type of electric energy. The electricity did not affect Luther in the slightest.
"Guagh!" Ivery's expressed tense and the electricity around her body intensified and covered her whole body and her original body
Blood ran out of her eyes, blood dripped down the corner of her mouth and blood ran down her nose...she braced the intense pain torturing her soul and body, normally a person would immediately pass out from such an unexplainably soul-wrenching pain.
The electricity absorbed Ivery's original body and turned her original body into electric energy and it all traveled inside of her.
The electric energy calmed down before completely settling down back inside of Ivery's infinite energy.
"Ivery are you okay?" Luther asked
"Y-Yeah...I'm f-fine.." Ivery's vision hazed before she completely blacked out and fell back on Luther's chest
"What happened!?" Luther worriedly asked Hecate
"She passed out from being subjected to the intense pain equivalent to the feeling of having your soul being stretched and nearly rip apart and your body feels that pain as well, but the pain is intensified physically....but something like that could possibly kill a normal person.." Hecate explained
"But nonetheless, there will be no negative effects to Ivery's body, absorbing her body will greatly enhance her strength and prowess...the merge was a complete success...this girl is truly capable" Hecate looked at Ivery with adoration
"She certainly is.." Luther wiped the blood from her eyes and the corner of her mouth

Ivery opened her eyes with a splitting headache...
"W..Where the hell am I?" Ivery looked around at her surroundings
Ivery looked around at her surroundings...in a jail cell...
