Chapter 77 - Power Over Fate

Space crackled with a loud thundering noise as I re-entered Bleach Earth, Karakura Town. All the important casts were finally present at this moment. So I flew at their positions, slowly ascending all the while taking my time.

They had been busy, and looking at the commotion happening, they clearly knew that Soul Society no longer existed. Then the Hollows came to town, why ?.

Because Hueco Mundo is disappearing at a pace faster than the blink of an eye. They all came to a standstill, wary of each other's presence only to see that the Shinigami had been doing there own thing over here.

But I was waiting for the final participant, Yhwach.

With the crackle as loud as thunder, another point in space collapsed and he appeared. His accumulation of power had been for naught, because I had interrupted his hibernation with my Black Hole and his anger was worth a bit of my attention.

He had been gathering a huge amount of followers and since he forcefully woke himself up. He had to sacrifice the entirety of Waldenreich, but the real kicker was that even after that he still wasn't in full power.

But seeing that each party wasn't the culprit had left them astonished. So I came before them or if we want to be technical above them.

Looking at me they soon realised who was the main culprit. It didn't matter if they didn't know for they would surely come to know.

The sooner my thoughts to attack progressed and my sword flew out of my hands, I felt it, the entire Reality of this timeline being entirely erased from bits to the origin. I had kinda forgotten the details of Yhwach's power but now I vaguely remembered, it had something to do with erasing entire timelines where he lost to ensure his own victory all the time.

The Almighty Yhwach.

Normally this isn't a problem, but the problem is I exist solely in this timeline. There are no more spare versions of me in every timeline of Bleach.

So I did the best thing that came to mind. I made my existence clear to the Bleach verse. I had been hiding myself the whole time, but now I permeated the entirety of Bleach and I even took it a step further, I went beyond, you will know soon how far.

"Ho." he shouted, "How are you in every timeline and how are you... still... Invincible ?" he bellowed.

If Yhwach wanted to erase one timeline in existence where he would be defeated before, then right now he would have to erase the entirety of the Bleach Multiverse to make this phenomenon possible.

Yamamoto and Squad Zero would like nothing more than to attack Yhwachas he was weakened more than ever, but they clearly knew what their priorities should be.

Seconds later as if in tandem to each other, everybody attacked. Cero's lit up the world, Laws of Physics shifted, Metaphysical planes manifested, and I became the sole target of all these destructive wave of attacks.

My swords knew my will and they flew to me and became my rings again, with the wave of my hand, I flipped the entire universe, literally.

For ten seconds the stars fell, the suns exploded, time stopped galaxies disappeared, every atom in the Bleach universe became a square, a perfect tesseract. Then they all came back to the point in which they began at.

For these ten seconds I had turned the entire Bleach Multiverse from a three dimensional structure to a four dimensional one. For me who was already a cosmic being it did not change much. But for the denizens of this universe it came at a toll.

A huge mental toll, you see when they said that gazing into the abyss allows the abyss to gaze back, it meant knowledge beyond a certain scope was like poison. Now most humans or beings in particular, in the scope of humans aren't really built to handle knowledge beyond the confines of their possible Physics and Biology.

That is to say no matter how strong they become, the Physical or Origin Laws of their planes would restrict them. It's like Gravity in a sense it's always there and humans are always restricted by it.

It's like a mental block, what happens when you tell a human their reality isn't reality ?. Do they accept it with ease or just scoff it off ?.

This mental block is not actually a problem but it's not meant to be instantly removed. It's meant to be slowly removed after accumulating knowledge.

But for the present cast of Hollows, Shinigami and Yhwach, this kind of experience wasn't destructive to their mind, just overwhelming and disorienting.

What about the entire world besides them ?. Let's say 2 seconds of such a sight is enough to render a normal human comatose. 10 seconds is just too much, let's sugar coat it and say the entire world, nearly every existence, from ants to elephants, from bacteria to viruses, entirely killed. The living being count right now was one, only one.

After a few minutes of the gracious time out I gave them. I began to focus on my secondary job, extracting four more swords out of the present crowd of people. It wasn't going to be surefire that I would get four swords. But I was sure of one thing, the unborn Ichigo together with Masaki would provide one.

"How do we fight such a being ?" questioned Soi Fon, who was the very first to break the silence.

They were unwilling to fight an existence such as me, but were also equally unwilling to give up their lives that easily.

Purpose fuels each benign life, when in the cosmos there has never been purpose, there has always been but simple crudeness, that is existence.

To normal humans Bleach was filled with God-like existence, that is but perspective and I was far more God-like compared to the likes of them.

Breaking my monologue Unohana asked me "What.. do... you... want.. ?".

Wary eyes looked at me, why was I bothering these people when I could flip the entire Bleach Multiverse and kill them all, without them knowing when and how.

"Your Hero once said in the future that he wanted to shatter Fate". I scoffed, that hero who wanted to fight Fate was loaded with Plot Armor to the point that it made Naruto feel more like a Shounen Manga. When in reality we should be focusing on Lee or Guy, they are Bonafide Shounen Protagonists, minus the Plot Armor.

"Let's just say that same Fate tried to mess with me and I would like to teach it a bit of a fun lesson".

Whatever I said might have sounded incomprehensible to the present group. One moment I was talking about a Hero from the future, the very next moment I was talking about teaching something a lesson.

But it all boils down to one little trivial thing, I hate being controlled. Whether it be the slow but seeping plot I was enforced with by Bleach, it was an act of aggression towards me.

If Lily had died, would it break my normal human mind. If Lily had become a villain, would I be able to stop her, had I been but a normal human.

That is why I hate Fate, whether it is God's Plan, Deus La Volt, Heaven's Will or any of those bullshit. It angers me, if I had been dancing at their palms, what was the use of my existence and my will.

Was it to serve as a foil for another to rise, does it make sense for a Protagonist to be able to defeat someone who has trained for a million years.

I do not like the fact that any and every tragedy could be held as God's Plan, the Devil's Claws or whatever bullshit the world feeds us.

So I retaliated, I cannot fight against my Author or his Plans for me, but with the kind of power I have, I can always force the writer to rewrite the entire reality once again.

Everything I do should be of my own volition, if not then that isn't something I had ever wished to do.

Truthfully though, it was because I was not happy with the way things progressed for Lily. The moment I saw her inside my Fate Algorithm, I knew the kind of tragedies she would face and all of it because she interacted with me.

So to say it was for the first time I wasn't happy with the Author's Plan, the Omniversal Yggdrasil is a nifty thing and the future Multiversal Patch in Marvel is lovable, but only at this point do I not agree.

If with the summation of my power I cannot save a Lily, then the point of me being Godly rather Cosmic and near Paragonic was a waste.

The Author can rarely hide things from me and I can always just play along, only this time I do not agree. Thus I will burn down Bleach, forcefully rewrite it and add it to my Omniversal Yggdrasil.

Whatever punishment he can mett out for me I will face, but let's just say he wouldn't want his stories to end in one chapter now would he. Also let's say he can't really nerf me without being a sore loser or rather good enough reasons.

So without further ado I stop time. There is literally no being here except a few who can resist 'Time Stopping', and all those who can resist will have to do so with harsh baclashes.

But if I do that their wouldn't be any fun right. So I will have a one on one fight with each of them in this 'Time Stopped Arena'.

But it wouldn't be fun if my power realm was too much higher than theirs, as such I will have to only use one sword on each battle and while I do that I will show you the fun of being able to change Laws at will.

You will get to see that Mundane Mathematics is very dangerous in a world of Gods.

Also let's say that this is a bribe to the Author, as I make it more fun for him and he compromises and forgets the future Lily events and makes it so that there never were such tragedies to begin with.

Author Note - Tch David is getting more and more demanding, and with the kind of power I have designed for him, I really can't nerf him within reason as his power itself is unreasonable. I throw problems for him and he solves it with the flick of his fingers, the wave of his hand, whatever you might call it.

The few bad points of having an Overpowered Protagonist. I was going to make Lily her own system and she was to be a rival like existence to Ash but later on she would fall in love and as all writer's love, her romance would be the greatest tragedy for her. For her lover would backstab David, steal his power and throw him in a time loop of existence where he is randomly reborn every few years and is betrayed again to fall in such a loop. All the while she is tortured by her toxic love.

As frustrating as that would be to read or write, the end would have been the very best conclusion I could give for Legionnaire, but with this the DC event will have to revisited in my mind.

The Anti Life event will have to be the end conclusion of Legionnaire or at least the Mid Boss Event. That is a real banger but I have a good little Easter Egg for him, he won't really realise I have buffed someone in Bleach for him. Let's just hope he can play along with the script in hand, otherwise an extremely dark and maddening end awaits him.. Let's just forgive this transgression for once, only once this time.
