Hekaton had already decided that he could not run away from this as he had planned, and now, he needed to act.

He had not only been having his System all messed up due to the constant creation of Undead by the dozens per day but also because many souls were being guided inside of Ervas and Veronica's Transmigration Cycle, where they were able to store souls and then reincarnate them or make them into Undead.

And to make it worse, they were able to eat Souls.

Souls were supposedly immortal, or at least, it was believed so.

However, it was only because, in Kritias, it was very hard to kill or destroy a soul due to good methods lacking.

But in other worlds such as Genesis, where Soul was an Attribute and had even Magic of its own, there were many ways to eat other souls to increase the user's power.

But in Kritias this concept was unheard of, and souls would often be worn down through attacks and death, but not disappear.

Even less God Souls!

But Ervas and Veronica were able to even gobble them up and grow strong from them!

And somehow they had even traveled to another world by Veronica's strange evolutions that used the Samsara System World Traveling Function to enhance her evolution strength through the modifications done by the external entities that manipulated it after Veronica died!

They even created their own soul clones in such a world, a completely different world, and they were just about to mess everything even more!

And if Samsara were to find out that this was all caused because of Hekaton's irresponsibility… he would most likely get punished in some way or form for messing around with the order of the world!

…However, it was too soon to begin panicking, Hekaton was not particularly afraid of any punishment because he knew that he would be always safe on his Divine Realm and that even if Samsara were to know, the entity was just as aloof as him, so it would probably not care as much.

But even then, Hekaton felt with the necessity to do something, as he did not desire Ervas and Veronica to do whatever they pleased, and messing with his Transmigration Cycle was his own problem, which he needed to fix himself.

So now, he would utilize these souls, the Heroes who had just died in Kritias from the future.

Unlike Daniel, who was sent to Mirror Kritias through the force of another God similar to Ervas and Veronica, these Souls were properly sent to his Divine Realm after death, completing the first task of beta-testing the Samsara System in a single world.

"If I can use these Souls properly, I might be able to send them to Kritias and make them fight Ervas and Veronica… They had cultivated enough strength, it should be possible for them to fight against them as long as I let them inherit the power they cultivated before. I could also add some extra…

" thought Hekaton, receiving the souls of Camila, Mason, Catalina, Christopher, Lucas, Camila, Leonia, Lance, and Fernando.

Hekaton glanced at them as they discussed for a bit.

According to what he was seeing, they were killing each other for some stupid and lowly reason that he could not possibly understand well.

But it seemed that their mental health was negatively affected when he sent them to this world first.

Hekaton began to think of a way to tell them that what he had done was a small mishap on his part, and that now that they were here, that he would give them better lives as long as they did what he asked them to do.

After welcoming them, the souls of the heroes felt surprised.

"Y-You're Hekaton! That bastard!

" said Fernando.

Hekaton ignored Fernando's insults as he nodded.

"My name is Hekaton, yes. I am a God of Transmigration, one of the many that assess this universe, serving Samsara-sama…

" said Hekaton.

"So you're finally talking a bit more than before… Why though? I thought you were a senseless and selfish asshole that only cared about his System. Do you want to ask us something?

" asked Natalia.

Without negating any of Natalia's statements, Hekaton nodded.

"Indeed. I do want to ask you a favor. Your second life being this… problematic was not within my expectations. Who would have guessed that Bestellen was such a mad god? Anyways, this was but a mistake on my part, so do not worry, I can learn from my mistakes.

" Said Hekaton.

"This idiot just gave us a hell of a life and he's not even being sorry?!

" roared Fernando, as he tried to punch Hekaton's feet, as he was around ten-meter tall compared to the human souls.

However, Fernando suddenly felt restrained, his strength was nowhere, and his voice was not coming out, afterwards, he felt completely paralyzed.

Realizing that he had no longer a body and that he was a mere soul, whose Hekaton specialized in controlling, Fernando began to finally comprehend that Hekaton was not someone he should freely insult and mess around with.

Just by a thought of Hekaton, he was completely paralyzed and stopped in his tracks, he could not even speak back.

"Ahem. There is something I must ask you, a favor. In exchange, anyone that manages to cooperate into completing this task will be given anything you want that I can do within my power,

" said Hekaton.

Everyone was left startled, even Fernando!

A God, a being such as Hekaton, far different than the measly Gods of Kritias was offering them a favor.

The people here knew that Hekaton was particularly different than Bestellen and other Gods, he had powers that could be used more freely, and he had even more expertise in areas that they were more interested in.

After all, he had the power to give fortunes to people's souls, to reincarnate them into anything they wanted such as the kid of a rich family in a world in peace and safe from danger and war, amongst many other dreams these people hoped to even have.

Unlike Bestellen's powers, Hekaton truly had the power to make wishes come true…

"Whatever… we want? Really?

" asked Camila.

"A wish? Can I ask to be reincarnated in a place similar to earth as a rich kid or something?!

" asked Lucas.

"Anything we want…

" muttered Leonia, her eyes growing with greed.

"That is… certainly a good offer. Especially seeing how much you're capable of…

" said Natalia.

"So? What do you think?

" asked Hekaton.

"But what are your limits? We have met a few Gods in Kritias, but they were all about fighting, none of them could do God things that we all knew. They could only maintain the world and fight…!

" said Catalina.

"What can I do? Certainly, the Gods of Kritias had their pros and were stronger than me in some areas. But I specialize in reincarnation and soul manipulation, and with the great amount of divine power I possess. I can give you any power you have desired, fortunes, reincarnate you in any world you could imagine and like anything you want… Unlike Bestellen and the bunch of Kritias' Gods, I am capable of fulfilling several of your wishes with utmost ease,

" said Hekaton, surprising many of the souls present, although some seemed to be rather suspicious of Hekaton's intentions, as he had not even said what he wanted of them yet and was waiting for them to accept his task before eve giving any info!

"Amazing… Can I reincarnate in… a world in peace… as a filthy rich and pretty princess?

" asked Catalina, she had already forgotten about her former friends!

"Hm? Yes, it is possible,

" said Hekaton while nodding.

"A-And can I… become a filthy rich kid in a world like earth?! Can I live forever leisurely?

" asked Lance.

"It is possible,

" said Hekaton.

"I want to be born as a king… or something like that…

" said Christopher.

"Can I reincarnate in a world of Plants and be the Plant queen?! Or… Something like that?

" asked Camila.

"Can you give me the ability to keep my powers and go back to Earth?

" asked Leonia.

"Yes, yes, all of your wishes seem to be possible within my power,

" said Hekaton as most of the souls seemed very hyped about everything.

However, Lucas, Mason, and Natalia seemed a bit concerned.

"Hekaton, tell us already. What is the task you want us to do? You are offering us all the rewards of the world, but what even do you want us to do for you to be so generous?

" asked Mason.

"T-That's right… W-What do you want us to do?

" asked Lucas.

"I am growing intrigued over this…

" said Natalia.

"Oh, right. The task. Yes. I want you to kill Veronica. You may know her as the Demon Queen Anastacia. She has appeared in a mirror version of Kritias and is messing around a lot. To the point that my Systems are failing, and I am being forced to be bounded to that world. I would like you to kill her and her soul clone, Ervas, as fast as possible. After that, I will handle it from there by grabbing their souls and sealing them,

" said Hekaton, giving an enormous amount of info in the most carefreely way possible.

Everyone was screaming in surprise over what the heck was going on, but Hekaton was patient, and he explained everything in detail after many hours.

After everything was explained in detail, many of the souls remained silent.

The one they had ruined their entire life had somehow gotten this strong due to a bunch of occurrences and mysterious benefactors, and now, they had become a big enough threat that even a god was asking them for help…

But the guilt of having killed an innocent and former coworker had already faded away in most of these people.

"I will do it! I do not care! If I do it, you will reincarnate me as a rich kid on a planet like Earth, right?

" asked Fernando, his eyes glowing eerily as his greedy smile emerged on his warped face.

"Why yes. Anything you desire is easy for me to concede,

" said Hekaton.

"Nice! And I only have to kill those two weirdos? And then… I get to live my life as a rich guy, dominating the world while having a giant harem of hotties…! Holy **, I am going to do it! Can I keep my stats and all, right?

" asked Fernando.

"Indeed, I can also give you a boost in your stats and some Skills of your choice, alongside a body similar to your previous life one,

" said Hekaton.

"Then we are set! If none of you are joining, I am getting all the prize for myself!

" said Fernando, glancing with a cheeky smile at this former coworker.

"I am joining too!

" said Camila.

"M-Me too!

" said Catalina.

"Me as well!

" said Christopher.

"I will do it,

" said Leonia.

"Let me join too!

" said Lance.

In the end, only Lucas, Mason, and Natalia were left standing while crossing their arms, thinking about what had just happened to Veronica…
