Capítulo 35: Chapter #28 - Sound...
As the golden and silver reiatsu intertwined, it surged from the body of the wild werewolf. The power was enough to leave every Numero breathless, forcing Szayelaporro to take a few steps back.
His skin paled, not from fear, but more from astonishment. His lips pursed slightly as a mocking smile crept onto his face. Instead of panic, he shouted with cold urgency, "It's impossible for you to be this strong!" His eyes shifted disdainfully to the Numeros:
"Attack, you fools!"
But none of the Numeros dared to move. Each one realized they had violated the unwritten rule of Hueco Mundo. They even cursed themselves internally for being provoked by Szayelaporro. In this land where the strong ruled by law, they had attempted to bite off more than they could chew.
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
Kizuna clapped his hands five times, the sound echoing around them. With each clap, the Numeros tensed and gulped. Szayelaporro's eyes were focused intently on Kizuna, like a predator studying its prey. He thought to himself, "Dangerous."
Kizuna spoke calmly:
"Szayelaporro, you think I'm a physical type, don't you? That's why, even if you couldn't kill me with the Numeros, you aimed to wear me down. Then you or someone else would have finished me off."
Szayelaporro's mind was racing. He needed to come up with a solution and escape. He had made a huge mistake! But he convinced himself there was still an opportunity to correct it.
Kizuna had one of his front arms wrapped protectively around Lilynette. Normally, she would have responded with a strong kick, but even she was astonished by Kizuna's strength. No one could have anticipated that this perve's true power would take such a monstrous form.
When Kizuna's rear hands clapped together once more, vibrations rippled out, and a Numero exploded.
Kizuna asked, "Do you know what it means to manipulate sound?" His voice was calm, with a tone more amused than angry. As Szayelaporro watched in shock, fear flashed in the eyes of each of the Numeros.
But Kizuna showed no mercy. Once one had exploded, it was as if an unstoppable curse had been set in motion, and soon, everyone started exploding. The vibrations resonated deep within them, causing their very beings to shake and mix, resonating with the others.
Szayelaporro observed the brutality Kizuna displayed like a scientist, thinking, "How primitive… but impressive," as he licked his lips to conceal his fear. The cold glint in his eyes with each explosion was mixed with countless theories forming in his mind.
This was one of Kizuna's main abilities after resurrection—his skill in sound manipulation, a power that unlocked many abilities through synthesis and enhancement.
But could he find an enemy worthy of witnessing all his abilities? Kizuna doubted it. Without these people to vent his anger on, he might not have even revealed this form.
As blood and flesh splattered around, Kizuna left Lilynette behind and started walking. With every step, more Numeros died as the vibrations spread. Kizuna could have killed them all, but he sensed Aizen watching.
So he wouldn't make the foolish mistake of killing them all. But wiping out the front line should instill a fear they wouldn't forget. Besides, they were nothing more than a handful of snacks.
The real prey was Szayelaporro. He had tried to retreat in fear and, just like the other Numeros, had momentarily forgotten to use his Resurrección. The fear that someone would feel looking at Kizuna's demonic grin, the teeth visible from his mouth threatening to split in four directions, and the strange gleam in his eyes, was more terrifying than any Hollow.
Szayelaporro's primal instincts kicked in, but it was too late. As he wondered about the scientific explanations of such terror, even fear gave way to analysis in Szayelaporro's mind.
When Szayelaporro tried to flee, a small vibration occurred around Kizuna's feet, and then he appeared in front of him. Grabbing him by the neck with one hand, Kizuna lifted him.
"Give me a good reason not to tear your head off," Kizuna demanded before his mouth began to split open. He had no intention of letting a pest who had caused him so much trouble live.
The fearful expression on Szayelaporro's face was replaced by a mocking smile. In a weak voice, he began, "You could… take me with you. My knowledge and technology could…" but his sentence was cut short by Kizuna's impending lethal intent.
Szayelaporro's belief in his own perfection should have comforted him, but being so helpless against Kizuna's power caused a momentary doubt to flash through Szayelaporro's mind.
At that moment, Kizuna heard the system's voice in his mind:
[Hey! You're being a bit harsh.]
'I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that,' he replied in his mind. The system had been acting much more emotionally these days. Was it influenced by him? Kizuna wasn't sure. Meanwhile, he was preparing to tear off Szayelaporro's head.
But the system's next words made him pause.
[It's your choice, but killing Szayelaporro now will prevent the "capture target" from being born.]
He stopped and focused on the system. The system continued to explain a bit more:
[I'll give you the "Hueco Mundo Womanizer Conqueror" bonus once you've captured all the women in Hueco Mundo. Wars often break out over women. When you gather all the women around you, you'll earn extra points, that's for sure.]
[But to complete it, you're currently missing one, no, I think two, but forget the other one. The one you're missing is a woman this man would artificially create. If you kill him, she won't be born. You'll still get the bonus, but just so you know.]
Kizuna narrowed his eyes. War was the system's main theme and nature. It was clearly trying to stir up his womanizer instincts to let a potentially troublesome existence live. Very well… The system's move was quite strategic.
Szayelaporro's mind immediately grasped the need to seize this opportunity. Science and survival instincts convinced him that he must live no matter what. Kizuna slammed Szayelaporro to the ground.
Killing was the last thing he wanted to do. As Szayelaporro lay on the ground, the smile at the corner of his mouth was one of cold satisfaction, more from survival than victory.
He clearly understood from the change in Kizuna's expression that he wouldn't die. But what happened next was something even Szayelaporro hadn't foreseen.
A scroll unfurled in the sky, displaying various writings. The scroll's silver-colored lining highlighted the golden text. This was Kizuna's Pact-Maker ability, developed recently after the Neliel incident.
<Enchanted Pact-Maker>
<Description: The user signs a contract with the target. Their Reiryoku permeates the target, and the contract comes into effect according to the user's will. The contract can be broken by someone with stronger reiatsu than the user.>
In its current state, he could even make the other party sign a slavery contract, and that was precisely what he had in mind. When the terms finished appearing, they read as follows:
<Szayelaporro will not attack, conspire against, or harm any of Kizuna Plata's family, friends, or anyone in his Fraccion.>
<Any command given by Kizuna Plata will not be questioned.>
Kizuna extended his hand and said, "Your only chance of survival is to accept this contract." Silver flames danced around Kizuna's hand.
Szayelaporro glanced at Kizuna's face for a brief moment. The determination in his eyes and the intense energy in the flames showed that the contract was serious. Szayelaporro felt a twinge of dissatisfaction but suppressed it skillfully. Survival was the most important thing; it was a Hollow's most basic instinct.
"Very well, Kizuna Plata," he muttered, his voice carrying a mocking tone, but the smile on his face was that of someone fully resigned. "I accept your contract."
His hand moved slowly toward Kizuna's outstretched hand. As the silver flames touched Szayelaporro's fingers, a slight burning sensation arose on his skin, but even this pain was insignificant to him. The only thing that mattered now was surviving and finding an opportunity to rewrite the rules of the game.
When the contract was signed, a strange energy immediately surged through Szayelaporro's body. This energy enveloped his soul, giving the impression that it was taking complete control over him. For a moment, he was terrified, but he quickly suppressed this feeling; he had never felt so vulnerable. However, this sensation quickly faded, replaced by a sort of calm. Szayelaporro could still feel this new energy within him, but it had now become a part of him.
As Kizuna observed the situation, a haughty smile appeared on his face. He had noticed Szayelaporro's momentary fear, and it pleased him. "A wise choice," he said, his voice soft, like a teacher addressing a student, yet also mocking. These words wounded Szayelaporro's pride, but he masked his feelings with a fake smile and bowed his head slightly.
After this brief exchange, Kizuna turned his back and walked away. Szayelaporro's eyes followed his every step with intense focus.
As Kizuna slowly distanced himself, he looked back at Lilynette and Stark, offering them an apologetic smile.
"I'm sorry for the unpleasantness," he said.
Starrk shrugged, yawning with a weary tone. "Hah! I don't want to deal with this kind of nonsense again." On the other hand, Lilynette laughed.
"Unpleasantness? What unpleasantness? It's just another day in Hueco Mundo."
With that, they continued toward the mansion. On the contrary to what Kizuna had anticipated, Aizen didn't appear or question him, which struck him as odd, though he wasn't in the right frame of mind to dwell on it at the moment.
***
In the next couple of chapters, there probably won't be any fights or anything like that. It's going to be more chill chapters.
Okay, so I realize that these last couple of chapters I've been doing more of a pull-and-drop with the women. It's like treating them like objects instead of women.
So in future chapters, there's going to be relationship intimacy between them, conversations and stuff like that. So... I hope you guys like it.
Finally, I'm waiting for your thoughts on his ability and if you can think of any interesting combinations for it, I'm open to any interesting suggestions, like him firing Cero in sonic waves.
Thanks again for reading.
