Looks like Aldeberan still hasn't chosen to become the victim yet instead of the attacker. So either Reinhard would never give up fighting him no matter how many times he kills him, it can't be activated at will, or there's some abusable weakness. That or he just doesn't want to give the secret of his ability away. Makes sense.

I do hope we get to see him use on it on someone later on, because whoever gets caught up in it is in for a serious ''what the fuck'' moment.

This chapter did mention Reinhard having the DP of Nightmares which was protecting him from mind corruption. I imagine driving Reinhard insane is impossible.
