章節 661: Another One

Wresting away the Falna from the System's control may sound easy and it was indeed, at least for Kisuke. However, the consequences of doing that weren't ideal in that it'd predominate the benefits that he would get from doing it.

Not to mention becoming an 'enemy' of the system, the source of his Falna, Hestia, might receive a backlash along with those others to whom she'd granted her Falna to begin with.

Of course, it was not like Kisuke hadn't thought of a way to circumvent this, but he still hadn't figured out anything that would net him the most benefits he could have, 'I don't have much of a choice. The most I can do now is to break the Falna's structure and make it look like it didn't come from Hestia.'

By doing this, not only will he be losing his connection to Hestia, but the blessing's effect on his body would almost lose its effects and his soul would incur some damages. He couldn't care less regarding the last two and he was already satisfied that Hestia wouldn't be put in danger, 'It's a shame that I can't get the most out of it, but it's better than nothing.'

While preparing to restructure his Falna, a sudden connection was established to it and it wasn't from Hestia, '!?'

Kisuke decided to halt his actions and tried to trace the connection. But before he could do that, a deep voice of a woman suddenly rang in his head, 'What are you?'

Being startled, Kisuke used everything he had to gather more information instead of replying.

But the voice didn't care about what he was doing and continued, 'I smell Chaos' scent on you. Are you his pawn?'

After a few seconds of extensive information collection, Kisuke finally got a clue as to where the connection was coming from, 'The Dungeon!?'

Unperturbed, the voice added, 'I see that you are an outsider... and also know almost nothing.'

'Who are you?', asked Kisuke while trying to gather more concrete information.

But instead of answering, the voice asked, 'What is this power? And what were you about to do with your connection to Heaven? As Chaos' pawn, this seems to be counterintuitive.'

Kisuke was in a predicament. He didn't know who was talking to him and he didn't have any logical step to follow after this. He also had a feeling that he couldn't lie to this voice and contemplated whether or not he should just go all-in with his 'guts' since he already started it.

'Ah screw it! I'm already at this stage! First of all, I'm not Chaos's pawn nor I will be in the future. Second, I'm taking this 'connection' for my own.', Kisuke decided to answer honestly as his gut dictated him.

'...How surprising.', replied the voice in its usual uninterested tone, 'But I doubt that you'll ever get away from his schemes... regardless of your wishes.'

Kisuke, however, only had one response to that. With a smirk that naturally came to his face, Kisuke answered brimming with motivation and confidence, 'Try me.'

The voice didn't reply but Kisuke could still feel the owner's presence through his Falna, so he waited.

A minute later, the voice finally said something, 'You misunderstand the thing that you call Falna.'

Kisuke was confused about the sudden change in the topic but continued to listen.

'This connection to Heaven isn't a blessing. Although it gives you power, it's only minuscule compared to how grand Heaven is. It is because you contributed to it, that's why it refines your soul and grants power to that refined soul. The more refinement, the more power it can give. But as I said, only if you contribute.'

'Once you've reached a certain amount of contributions and went through enough refinements, it would then grant you a permanent connection to Heaven.'

Kisuke took a deep breath and replied to it, 'In other words... You'll become a slave of Heaven, a Deity.'

The voice didn't say anything regarding that, but it was a silent affirmation.

All of a sudden, however, Kisuke's Falna started changing on its own. More specifically, a large amount of information was being written in it, 'What's this?'

'A set of instructions on how the system of Heaven refines souls. Also, Heaven won't be able to take back this Falna from you anymore.'

'Why?'

'First, it seemed that you needed this, and second, because I made it so.'

'How?'

'Simple, I created Heaven. Maybe we'll meet again.', instantaneously, the presence inside his Falna disappeared completely.

Kisuke couldn't help but smile wryly, 'So we're stuck between these two powerful beings that clearly don't get along... Well, I'd rather deal with this new one with a 'watch and see' attitude compared to that scheming gentleman out in the void.'

Kisuke immediately noticed that his Falna's connection to Hestia became rather 'empty', but it was not noticeable if not scrutinized. The upstream of information also stopped, confirming the words of that unknown being to him of being 'disconnected', but not noticed by the system.

What he had now was a Falna, but a standalone one with bonus instructions up to Level 10. As long he fed it with energy, he could automatically Level up to 10 as long as his soul could take it. Of course, he wouldn't do that because he wanted to understand the instructions that made that possible first, and maybe, modify them a bit based on his knowledge. Soul tech of two different worlds, Kisuke was looking forward to the result of this fusion.

It was also then that Kisuke tried to guess what the Hougyoku was trying to do, 'Did it intend to 'contribute' to the system in exchange for power?.. Or did it intend to contact the system's owner?'

However, he wasn't able to reach a clear answer.

Setting that aside, for now, Hougyoku's actions were far from done. As it saturated the Falna with energy, making it possible to unlock the soul refinement instructions until Level 10, the wish item then focused on his physical body.

Unlike the other two times where the Hougyoku just saturated both his Soul and Falna with Reiryoku (Spiritual Power), the Hougyoku instead controlled Kisuke's Reiatsu-Ki and the more destructive variant of Magic Power, Demonic Power.

Kisuke observed intently as the Hougyoku combined these energies through some unknown method. '...How fascinating...', thought Kisuke as he tried to memorize every single detail for later studies.

28th00: So, did Chaos usurp the Creator? Seems we got an Ophis/Red situation here, but much more… mature? They’re not dragons, so they tend to scheme. Ophis and Red are dragons, so they tend to punch their problems away. That’s how I see it at least. 

Alexander: Hoooh? Could it be that he’ll start his own ‘server farm’ in the future?

章節 662: Hougyoku’s Last Service

Through some unknown means, the Hougyoku started mixing Reiatsu-Ki and Demonic Power, resulting in a completely different type of energy that didn't just have the properties of the other three, but also some unknown ones that Kisuke couldn't tell as of now.

However, he wasn't able to observe much longer when this new energy returned to his body and started tearing it apart, "Guhh!!! Arrggghhhh!!!"

Even for the extremely pain-resistant Kisuke, with all his nerves and every cell in his body was being torn apart, he couldn't help but groan and howl in pain. "Kisuke!?", Kuroka, and especially Yoruichi, were very shocked by this.

He didn't reply, but Kisuke gritted his teeth and raised his arm to say that he was doing fine.

Although this new type of energy surpassed his existing ones, Kisuke didn't have a way to produce it naturally, so even if he had it, it would just deplete over time as he wouldn't be able to hold onto it forever either.

So in return, the Hougyoku tried to let Kisuke's body adapt to it, forcefully. If it was any other person, they would have instantly died and become a blob of messed-up meat. For Kisuke, fortunately, his Hollow factor immediately kicked in and hastily connected to his physical body, repairing it as it got destroyed over and over again.

From an outside perspective, white matter started coming out of Kisuke's orifices, covering his whole body like a cocoon. From that point on, Yoruichi and Kuroka couldn't hear any of Kisuke's cries anymore. "Yoruichi! What should we do, nya!?", asked Kuroka towards Yoruichi while starting to panic.

Yoruichi contemplated for a few seconds before sitting down, "We wait."

Kuroka gritted her teeth in frustration. But a few seconds later, she sighed and jumped away, leaving the words, "Some people have entered my mist. I'm going to watch them carefully in case they get closer."

Yoruichi watched her leave and then closed her eyes, focusing her senses on the changes in Kisuke, 'You better not go off dying on your own.'

Within Kisuke's inner world, Benihime watched her crimson castle collapse and the blood-filled world got drained. Since Kisuke's soul was directly connected to his physical body and started contesting it with regeneration, the new energy went towards it too, destroying it in a similar manner as Kisuke's body, exponentially increasing his torment. 'So this is my cue.', thought Benihime as she disappeared from her spot.

By becoming a bridge between his soul and physical body, Benihime was able to stabilize the circulation of Kisuke's regeneration, enabling it to catch up to the rate of destruction. However, this irreversibly changed things.

By becoming a bridge, Benihime had to absorb the same energy and change through it, effectively becoming a permanent link for Kisuke's soul and body. This meant that Kisuke wouldn't be able to separate his soul and body anymore without discarding Benihime, which he would never do. If his physical body were to die, his soul would come with it too.

Kisuke noticed Benihime's actions, but he trusted and didn't stop her.

The partners agonized for more than an hour until the forceful evolution ended.

Yoruichi hurriedly opened her eyes and stood up when she felt that Kisuke's cocoon started breaking. Meanwhile, Kuroka also returned when the disturbance within the barrier abated. The two of them watched as Kisuke's cocoon cracked and disappeared into nothing, revealing Kisuke with his pale blonde hair draping until his waist and 12 black energy streams ejecting from his back, resembling 6 pairs of black wings. There were also 2 more pairs of these energy streams, but they were very small and kept disappearing.

Yoruichi dispelled the barrier and used Flash Step to instantly appear in front of Kisuke, catching him as he fell, "Goodness... You really made us extremely worried there."

Without much strength, Kisuke looked up, "I also got extremely worried for myself... By the way, where's Benihime?"

"You're disoriented enough that you can't find her?", asked Yoruichi in shock before looking around.

But before she could find it, Kuroka found it first, "Is this her, nyaa?" She lifted what seemed to be a standard-issue katana.

Kisuke looked towards it and smiled, "Yep. Looks like she's returned to her original form."

After grabbing the katana, the energy streams from Kisuke's back receded, disappearing entirely.

Taking a deep breath, Kisuke tried standing up on his own. With great difficulty, he was able to do it, however, the feeling of weakness couldn't be compared to what he was feeling overall now. From his perspective, everything became so clear that even Ki, Magic Power and Spiritual Power streams were visible to his naked eye.

Each breath he takes slowly replenishes his missing energy. It was as if he was born with this body. Looking up to the parted sky, Kisuke muttered, "Yoruichi... I might just be a step behind transcendence."

Yoruichi's eyes widened before pouting, "That thing is really a cheating item. So the next time it starts acting up again, you'll be at Ophis' level?"

Kisuke chuckled and shook his head, "There won't be a next time. It's already gone."

Furrowing her brows, Yoruichi asked, "But in Aizen's case, it didn't disappear even after completely changing him. It might be strengthening him more to this day. Is yours different?"

"I'm pretty sure it isn't. But my path and my 'wish' went way beyond the Hougyoku's capabilities and therefore, it could only give me a huge boost and opportunity."

Yoruichi became silent for a moment before muttering, "It's really a different path, alright? Even this close to you, I can't feel any Reiatsu nor Ki coming from you. Not even Magic Power or Demonic Power... It really looks like you're just an ordinary everyday young man."

Hearing that, Kisuke chuckled even more, "That's great news, then! I'm becoming closer to my ideal merchant image!"

"That's what's important to you, nyaa!?", Kuroka retorted from the side.

"What up with that question? Of course, it's important! It's my main profession, after all!", Kisuke retorted back.

Yoruichi immediately got in between the two of them and said while shrugging her shoulders, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. You two argue about that later, but for now, get dressed Kisuke. We're not alone in this forest."

"Right. I don't really have a hobby of exposing myself.", with a snap of his finger, the black energy with a touch of crimson surrounded Kisuke before forming into his usual attire, "This is neat~!"

He then faced Yoruichi and said, "Please cut my hair."

Taking out her knife, Yoruichi went behind him and said, "Sit down."

As Kisuke sat down, he looked down on his Zanpakuto, Benihime, and thought, 'Looks like the ordeal stressed you out too, huh... Rest well.'
