Kapitel 866: Fear

Fear is the word we use to describe our emotional reaction to something that seems dangerous. But the word "fear" is used in another way, too: to name something a person often feels afraid of. People fear things or situations that make them feel unsafe or unsure. ... People tend to avoid the situations or things they fear.

Fear, dread, fright, alarm, panic, terror, trepidation mean painful agitation in the presence or anticipation of danger. Fear is the most general term and implies anxiety and usually loss of courage.

The universal trigger for fear is the threat of harm, real or imagined. This threat can be for our physical, emotional or psychological well-being. While there are certain things that trigger fear in most of us, we can learn to become afraid of nearly anything.

Fear is a feeling or an emotion. When a person has fear, they are afraid or scared. A person who fears something does not want it to happen. The fear response comes from sensing danger. It leads to the fight-or-flight response. In extreme cases of fear (horror and terror) there may be a freeze response or paralysis.

In humans and animals, fear is adjusted by cognition and learning. Thus fear is rational or appropriate, or it is irrational or inappropriate.

Fear is the body's way of protecting itself from doing things that may be dangerous. For example, if one has a fear of jumping off a cliff, he/she will not do it. This saves one from death. In this case, fear is a good thing but in others, it can be bad. An example of fear being bad is if it stops one from doing something important.

Fere is only a small set of basic or innate emotions and fear is one of them. The fear response helps survival by triggering appropriate behavioral responses. It has been preserved throughout evolution.

Fear is common for everyone, everyone can freely feel fear on any random occasion, and fear is one of the basic emotions of any being.

But it's different for Xin, Xin who never fears anyone, never feels fear from this whole time, knowing that he is untouchable makes him fearless.

Even Grey and Red know this, after all, they both represent two kinds of feelings, developing basic feelings is the thing they wanted Xin to get but they are scared that someday he will get an overwhelming emotion that he can't take.

For example fear.

What Xin Fears Most?

He fears that the original Plot of the Manga, Anime, Novel that he read in the past will happen.

Bell-mère Death

Scarlett Shuri Himejima, and Otohime's Assassination

Stella's Execution

Baby 5 Lack of a simple personality.

Kuina and Misla Bael had an unwanted death.

And many more.

This is the thing that Xin fears the most, he did not fear the pain, the sadness, the loneliness, but he feared that someone from his life would suddenly disappear.

"Fear.... Captain Xin… do you ever feel fear?" Theman asks.

"But it seems my calculator is right, you never felt fear at all, maybe you feel that your storm is enough to forget fear is one of the basic feelings of humans, or… you are already a monster itself.."

"An average Shinigami would've started screaming in fear, and was mad at the first strike of marrows."

"They would've died because they're unable to resist the shock of fear."

"For the once hit by my arrows anything turns into fear, you start thinking unreliable things because of fear, you start to doubt yourself until you succumb to your own fear."

"You start to feel agitated, look suspicious to anything, cannot think straight, but it seems I'm not wrong….. You start to feel it."

Chojiro felt dread, he also notices Xin seems motionless, he starts to feel something is coming, he doesn't know when and where but he knows it's not coming from the man… but from Xin who is motionless.

Not only him but also the others too, they felt dread, fright, alarm, panic, terror, for some unknown reason.

"Äs Nödt! Stop, we need to go!"

"Why?"Äs Nödt confused ask, he can feel that they are about to win and seal this monster making his Majesty happy.

"Just follow us! Let's go, i don't feel good right now!!"

"He is right, Äs Nödt let's go back, we just need to report to his Majesty."

"That's right."

"Well," Äs Nödt looks at Xin who silently seems to be looking at them, he can't see his facial expression because of his white hair covering it.

Thump~ thump~

Thump! thump!

They then heard a heartbeat sound slower, ancient and almost silent, steady exotic, rhythmic, cosmic, reassuringly slow, reassuringly slow and steady, tremendous, wild, deep empathetic, hypnotic, primal, rapid or irregular, slow, eternal, rapid irregular, single, slow, gigantic, slow, dangerously slow…

They can't describe the feeling of hearing that simple heartbeat, they don't know why they felt something is coming.

Captain Yamamoto who was sitting in his office suddenly looked outside, he also felt the heartbeat, a heartbeat seems to contain dreadful things that made his skin start to cold even he uses fire Zanpakuto.

Yhwach who is sitting on his throne suddenly stands up, he can't help but touch his chest that is synchronizing with the heartbeat he is hearing right now.

"What happens?" The two books of two organizations can't help but to ask.

But not only them, but Shinigami, Quincy, Hollow, and even Human can also slightly feel that dreadful beat, and the people above start to palpitate and start to feel fear from the bottom of their heart.

Xin who is standing in front of them suddenly moves, he slightly moves his head and looks at them.

All of them see the emotionless eyes of him that even Äs Nödt who can control fear can't help but to jump back to take distance.

"T-This monster!"
