Chapter 396 - **Blank**

[POV Reo] 

the voice was really really familiar and because of that, a frown appeared on my face… "Fuck you, you bastard… use your powers and turn me into something else right this instant…!!" my Zanpakutou screamed hysterically. 

I had to use a lot of my will to stop myself from laughing out loud… this was way too funny. "Are you sure you want that?" I asked my Zanpakutou and my Zanpakutou became completely silent for a few moments. 

"Bastard!! Are you making fun of me?? Do you want to fight, you bastard??!" my Zanpakutou yelled out, sounding completely enraged and unable to hold myself back, I burst out laughing.

Now, I could clearly feel my Zanpakutou was releasing a lot of killing intent and I finally decided to stop joking… My Zanpakutou might spit blood and die if I continue this. "Fine… fine… sorry. So, do you have any preference?" I asked and the killing intent slowly disappeared. 

"...Turn me into fucking ring or something…" my Zanpakutou said and I nodded my head. I started to use my Soul Powers and Reality Powers to mould my Zanpakutou into my desired form. 

My Zanpakutou transformed into a ring… a black ring with a glowing purple stripe in the middle. The inside of the ring was also glowing purple. I slowly put the ring on the middle finger of my right hand. "Are you satisfied now?" I asked my Zanpakutou.

"Yes… I am really glad and satisfied now" my Zanpakutou released a relieved sigh… "Why were you being so cruel to me when I am a copy of your whole personality?" my Zanpakutou said and started to pout. "If I could… I would have destroyed you completely" he continued his rant. 

Yes, my Zanpakutou was an exact copy of my personality but there was a huge difference between us… the gap between our powers. "Yes… yes… fine. So are you going to tell me your name?" I asked and my Zanpakutou ring glowed slightly. 

"Sure, no problem" my Zanpakutou said in a dismissive tone. Yep… he was just like me. "So, listen carefully. My name is…" my Zanpakutou said and I immediately sensed a change in the connection between myself and my Zanpakutou.

"Hmm… I didn't hear your name though but I clearly achieved Shikai…" I said while with a confused look on my face. 

"You heard my name…" my Zanpakutou said in a smug tone. "You were unable to hear my name because it's nothing… It's blank…" my Zanpakutou continued talking smugly and my eyebrows shot up in surprise.

From what I know every Zanpakutou has a name… but how can my Zanpakutou doesn't have a name?? No, my Zanpakutou does have a name… It's blank, nothing, in other words… an empty blank. "Why is your name like that?" I asked curiously. 

"It's simple… your Shikai represents your Power of Destruction. It can turn anything and everything into nothingness, as long as you have enough energy, of course. I know that you have unlimited amounts of energy" my Zanpakutou said and I nodded my head in understanding. 

"Let's see what my Shikai looks like…" I said and I stared intently towards my Zanpakutou ring. "Erase everything into nothingness…" I said and my Zanpakutou ring started to glow brightly and it slowly started to transform into a knuckle duster… a similarly styled knuckle duster appeared in my other hand.

"Feels… awesome" I said while looking at my Zanpakutous. I have two Zanpakutous in my Shikai but unlike Shunsui Kyõraku and Jūshirõ Ukitake, my Zanpakutous didn't represent different powers… both of them represented my Power of Destruction… 

I turned towards Hela… she was still in deep concentration… I decided to give it a try and using my Space Powers, I brought a Hollow in front of me and disappeared as it died… hmm… I didn't even touch that weakling so how did it die??

It must be due to my Reiatsu… after learning the Shinigami arts, my Reiryoku has grown a lot. My Reiryoku is currently a little bit shy of the old man Yamamoto and I have just learned how to use Reiryoku. Fuck plot armour…!! The fuck is that??!! 

I reined in my Reiatsu so that I don't kill the next Hollow with just my Soul Pressure. Another Hollow appeared in front of me and this time it didn't die… The Hollow stood there dumbly without moving due to my Soul Powers…

I smashed my fist into the Hollow's gut and it died… not erased, died. Using my Power of Destruction would have destroyed the Soul… I brought another Hollow and this time I broke its mask… it died again. Like that I kept killing Hollows, I also tested my Kidō and Hakuda skills on them and when I was finally done… There were no more Hollows left in the Karakura Town. 

"You went overboard" my Zanpakutou deadpanned. 

"Ignore the minor details… presentation is always necessary for a bad guy. I am a bad guy and I need to check my powers so that they don't go poof in front of the good guys… that would be so embarrassing that I would need to destroy this world" I said in a whining tone and my Zanpakutou remained completely silent for a few seconds after hearing my words. 

"I think… I think you are right. Sorry… we must aim for overkill from now on… that would help our presentation" my Zanpakutou said in an awed tone. 

"I knew that you would see my point…" I said and my Zanpakutou nodded his non-existent head in agreement. 

I deactivated my Shikai and my Zanpakutou returned to my ring form. Hela was still deep in concentration so I decided to practice my Kidō Spells… yes, I found them easy but I still needed to learn them and master them… I didn't have any hacks like instant mastery…

Though I found instant mastery to be pretty stupid. After all, if you have something like instant mastery then you are going to learn things instantly but you will lose the ability to improve those techniques… After all, instant mastery teaches you a perfect technique but you can't make improvements if something reaches perfection. 

Hmm… Well, fuck instant mastery and their owners… let's go back to practising…
