章節 6: Answers and Rebirth
[Author]
Okay, lets pick back up when the novel was still decent lol.
[Kale]
Okay, I've sent them off. They'll probably loose but I can save them. My control over the mist allows me to do a lot of things. As long as it's related to the world of Elden Ring, I can make it a reality. A prime Radahn boss fight? Easy. I wave my hand and the mist surges, one million of Malekith's Black Blade form in the sky. I can control them as easily as I want.
So below a certain threshold I'm basically undefeatable here. If someone stronger than me shows up, just pull a Gilgamesh and throw infinite death swords at them. Can't dodge them all right? Damn, Jushiro's getting fucked up down there. Here's hoping he doesn't use the hand; I don't know if I can save him from that.
On another note, if someone like Rimuru, who has immunity to damn near everything shows up? At that point I'm better off just waiting to be killed. Wait, can I spawn characters from the mist? I want a Melina who loves me!
In an instant, there she was. Her skin, pale and luminescent, seemed to hold the last breath of daylight; her single open eye, like a deep pool of twilight, knew of sorrow yet seemed to promise guidance. Her hair, a cascading midnight fall, framed her face with an elegance that belied the harshness of the world. She moved with a certain grace, each step deliberate, as if she treads on sacred ground.
When she spoke, her voice was a melody, each word a note that soothed the relentless storm within me. In her presence, the weight of my tarnished existence felt lighter, and the path ahead, less daunting. "Dear, do you require me for anything?" That soft smile seemed to make even the mist feel sightly thinner, and that gentle touch of her arm on mine.
....
Am I a simp? Maybe. No damn it, she's not real, just a creation of the mist! I must stay focused! I will her to cease, and she collapses back into mist. There's got to be a real girl I get to like me. Bleach has plenty of top tier waifu's, Yoruichi, Harribel, Rukia, not Orihime though. Don't wanna cock block my guy Ichigo, dude deserves her.
God, who do I want to go for? Yoruichi is cool and would chill with me, Harribel is very protective, and Rukia is cute. I don't even know if Bleach is the only universe, I have access too! Anime has too many waifus and I don't want a harem.
I just don't want to be maidenless man, that shit sucks. Damn, looks like Aizen finally decided to use Kyoka Suigetsu, that swing was bad.
...
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!?! Radahn really said fuck the planet and nuked them. That was like the meteor spell on more steroids than all of Hollywood combined. Radahn laughs at the sky in pure joy, man, what a chad. Yamamoto, Jushiro, and Aizen fade away into mist, and reappear in front of me. That went well lol.
It takes a bit, but they wake up, well Aizen and Yamamoto do. Jushiro is still out cold. Aizen wakes up first and looks around before his eyes settle on me. He shows a cocky smile before he sits down across from me.
I speak up before he can say anything, "How did it feel, death?" Petty? Yes, but it's funny to see someone like Aizen mad. His eyes squint just a bit, then that signature fake smile returns. Damn, didn't work.
"Radahn, at the very least he is worthy of the title Demigod. Is he the stronger than you?" Can't say I'm surprised, of course Aizen would fish for info on me. "I'm just a merchant, I dislike combat. My greatest ambition is to simply sell my wares. Speaking of which, would you like to challenge some lesser foes for runes? At least until your comrades wake up."
"Sure, I would love too. Please select some foes on my level. I don't exactly fancy dying again." He puts on a fake wry smile and stands up. At least I think its fake, you never know with Aizen. I reach out to the mist and throw Aizen in the middle of Caelid. He should be around level 70 right now, based on my estimates.
If a rot infested Radahn is roughly level 60, then Yamamoto should be roughly level 100. Radahn, even insane, was holding up the stars and that should make him below Yamamoto but above the current Aizen. I'd have to check to be 100% sure but Yamamoto should be comparable to the end game bosses like Godfrey. I'd put him below Elden beast solely on conceptual abilities. Elden beast could craft an entire star system in the time the phase transition takes, and those kinds of abilities aren't present in the boss fight. Damn, power scaling is fucking hard.
Aizen is bullying dogs and crows with Kyoka Suigetsu, I wonder if any Elden ring boss could resist that other than Elden beast? Conceptually Elden beast should be above anyone in Bleach bar the soul king. He is the embodiment of the Elden ring, the physical manifestation of the world's laws, and also a Vassal of the greater will, whatever that gives him.
Oh, looks like they are going to wake up. I call Aizen back and dissipate Caelid. He looks at me strangely for a moment, but then looks at Yamamoto and Jushiro. He walks over and helps them up just as they stir. I wonder what timeline they are from. Can't be too far from canon, right?
"Wha.What happened?" Yamamoto looks around confused, before bolting up and flaring his spiritual pressure. Huh, I don't feel anything, is the mist protecting me? I should do some more tests later, but I have more pressing things to deal with.
"You lost, Yamamoto. And it seems your time is almost up. Aizen, would you like to spend your runes before you leave?" Yamamoto looks like he wants to say something, but eventually backs up and looks at Aizen.
"I'd like to see if I can afford anything to help Jushiro, I have collected 19,213 runes." Where the fuck did you get 20k runes that fast? It was Caelid for fucks sake! He must have used Kyoka Suigetsu to make the mobs kill each other or run of cliffs. Okay don't let Aizen grind here ever again, noted.
So the items that could help Jushiro are the Blessed Dew Talisman, Health Boosting Talismans, Healing Flask, Ensha's set, Rebirthing, Vigor Levels, Turtle Talisman maybe, and some consumables. The ones id be willing to sell for that price range would be Blessed Dew Talisman, One Piece of Ensha's set, Turtle Talisman, and a +1 Health Talisman.
"I have a few you can afford. Here, take a look at this." I will the mist to make a book with the items name, a picture, and a summary of what the item does. Thankfully talisman pouches are basically useless and unnecessary in a real world. Now i just need to think about an actual price.
Aizen takes the book with seven pages and starts to read through. He passes it around to Yamamoto and Jushiro and they all take a look. Now, how should I price them? The blessed dew talisman is the best by far, so probably 18k runes. Turtle is also good, 15k. Ensha's set isn't that good stat wise, so 8k for one. The +1 Crimson Amber Talisman is the hard one, a 7% boost is still percentile. Imaging if Kempachi got a 7% durability boost? Let's go with 19k. Damn, being a merchant is harder than I thought.
After a few minutes, they close the book and I disperse it into the mist. They look shocked, but only for a moment. "We'd like the Blessed Dew Talisman. How much?" So, they went the regen route huh? Still no clue how they talked without actually talking, probably some Shinigami bullshit.
"That will be 18,000 runes." Aizen actually looks pained for a second, before he hands me the money. I guess Jushiro will have a much easier time now, wonder how much this will affect canon? T take the runes and transfer them to another Golden Rune and pull out a Blessed Dew Talisman. I hand it over to Jushiro, and the moment he holds it he visibly shudders.
This version is a necklace, and I swear I saw a faint glow on it for a second. Jushiro stands there for a second, eyes closed, and then heaves a massive sigh of relief. "Thank you, Kale, and Aizen. I haven't felt this good in over a century." Hold up, why you say it like that? He nods gratefully at me and Aizen. Well, that's enough of that, time to send them home.
"Well, I'm happy doing business with you. Use this to return when you have the runes to spare, and no more than three are to enter. Goodbye!" I toss them three slips of paper the mist gave me, and they vanish into a puff of smoke. Glad that's over, time for some testing. Since the mist could summon Melina, it should be able to do this as well.
I will the mist to manifest in the shape of Millicent. Not summon Millicent but take her shape. The mist surges and soon, Millicent is standing before me in the state just before we fight her sisters in the Haeligtree. I always felt bad for Millicent, I was pissed when I couldn't save her.
"Master, what do you need of me?" Master? I mean fair enough, I won't complain. I'm just happy this shit actually worked. "Millicent, explain how my powers work please." This is by far the most important question to ask. This will determine how I interact with all future customers.
"Master, in this place you are permanently at level 713, this is why Yamamoto's spiritual Pressure had no effect on you. You are much stronger than him." Really? Hell yeah, I can defend myself if needed at least. But how strong is a level 713?
"A level 713 is a limiter placed on most beings. You are Multi Galactic+ in this state, and level 714 would be the equivalent to the weakest universal powerhouse. You are unlikely to break this limit without some extreme fortune." Hold up, I'm that strong? Why don't I feel anything? On another note, did you just read my mind?
"Yes master, your thoughts are clear to me. Do not be nervous, I exist to serve you to the extreme. The mist itself can do pretty much anything, as long as it doesn't pass a certain threshold and relates to Elden ring at its core. I took the liberty to invite your first customers, would you like it to remain random?" Well damn, that's OP. The restriction is pretty loose, and the upper limit is borderline universal, not bad at all. Can I take trips to other universes?
"Yes master, when someone enters the great caravan, the mist leaves a marker on their home world you can follow back. Just be aware, you will revert to a level one when you leave. Worry not, you may return at any time." Thats even more OP! Can't I just invite Rimuru and get an ultimate skill, breaking the limiter? Nah, can't be that easy. Also yeah, leave it random. Just don't invite anyone stronger than me here without my permission, I don't want Void Shiki or some shit showing up.
"Worry not master, someone like Void Shiki could never be dragged here, she would certainly immediately figure out what's going on and stop it. She could also force her way in, so it's best to steer clear of universes with entities on their level." Well, no shit, I don't wanna die just after getting another chance. By the way, how did I get here?
"Oh, an entity surpassing Void Shiki was entertained by your obsession and laughed at your death, so he gave you this power as a reward for making him laugh." Well damn, how many people surpass Void Shiki? Dude must be busted as hell. If i ever have the fortune or misfortune of seeing him again, Ill thank him properly. At least my stupid ass death was good for something.
Well, I know at a lot more now. I'm apparently Multi Galactic+, am basically immortal as the tarnished needs no food, water, sleep, and age doesn't seem to do shit to him. I actually want to rebirth; I can finally change my name! I don't have to be ugly anymore! Fuck yeah! Best part of this whole thing, easily.
I suddenly have an amber egg in hand, but how do I use it? One Rennala remembrance later and poof, I'm an expert. Let's pop this Larval Tear and get to work. Woah, this feels fucking weird. Millicent, read my thoughts and craft my ideal body! Why do the work when I have someone better to do it?
Holy shit, that feels weird! It's not painful but God damn, it's like an itch you can't scratch! Its over soon, and I use the mist to make a mirror. Damn, I'm hot. No homo tho. {AN: That joke sucks lol but im leaving it!}
My eyes, a vivid shade of emerald green, held an enigmatic glint. Jet-black hair with silver streaks cascaded in unruly waves, framing a face that bore the battle-hardened demeanor of a warrior. My jawline was chiseled and defined. Yet, amidst the ruggedness, there lingered an air of refinement reminiscent of an aristocratic charm.
Physically, I embodied a fusion of strength and grace. Broad shoulders and a powerful, lean physique reflected the prowess of a seasoned warrior, while an imposing height of 6'3 conveyed an air of authority akin to royalty.
Damn, Good job Millicent!
