Chapter 67 - Rant

I can deduce and recreate almost everything, known or not known. But it does not mean it is the same.

Applying my own belief and tangling the rules, based in my understanding, I recreate various objects, techniques, special skills.

But it isn't the same.

I was testing Reishi to the limits and as I continued to do so, I made various ways of using Reishi.

I had made this way of using Reishi by mistake, but it did emulate the Original work, only it just worked better than it should have been.

Cero was the only way I could output Reishi as an attack right now.

I was an Adjucha Class Hollow, my hulking mass and uber strong body only showcased brute strength.

In layman terms I lacked Finesse. How So ???. Easy.

Before my discovery, I could only change the volume of Reishi in my Cero. As I tested and learnt in my years, at Bleach Verse I could somewhat tell the obscure and basic ways of using Reishi.

It was to any human a near Omnipotent source of Energy, just as Qi is for all Cultivators.

Now holding the Energy is far easier, outputting it in various ways to effect Laws, break physical rules was hard.

But as I deconstructed the Cero, which is a huge beam of light, so enormous, that it leaves many Shinigami non-existent after getting hit, I got stumped, let me tell you why.

The output, the input, the inlaying, the programming, and various aspects of applying Energy or in my case Reishi is hard to say.

Because even if I did the same thing again and again, there would be different results for each different Law or Will.

Reishi followed set rules, but it also basically ignored all set rules.

If I had to say a few words to Reishi, then I would say that, Reishi is like the p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.e that says no kisses, no protectionless s.e.x, etc. and then allows you to bang her raw without repercussions.

Crude as my statement may be, it was the truth, Fact, that Reishi runs on a set of Rules and various restrictions. But what it says and asks for doesn't matter, because in the end Reishi itself allows the same practitioner to break all set Laws and restrictions without care.

Reishi isn't really consistent in following the rules it sets for itself in either the Metaphysical or the Physical plane.

Reishi was f.u.c.k.i.n.g hard to understand, just as Time is for Mortals and I could only make out how to carve and apply my Will and Laws onto Reishi, to only effectively serve my purposes and order.

Other than that, Reishi was still an ever continuing mystery. That Energy is too open and free, for it really has no rules to follow or ensure.

But even the little gains I made out by understanding Reishi was enormous. Now I had a few techniques made out of Reishi under the Cero Attack.

Even though all of my techniques were certainly different from one another, all of them just basically still followed one rule, that is, these techniques are semi-sentient beings made out of Reishi.

I was not only using Reishi, I was marking and flowing with Reishi. But as if one core principle was missing, my Creations would falter and dissappear after a while.

The amount of Reishi I needed to pour in such a poor task was naturally not recommended for battles.

So I continued relying on my swords and kept on hunting down Hollows and Shinigami's alike.

I don't know why, but lately the Shinigami have been paroling the Hollow realm searching for something or someone I guess.

But that doesn't interest me, I was only waiting for the Hinamori team to appear in their Cadet trial.

Maybe then I could fashion a Blade out of Hinamori, and Renji. Both are major characters of the Bleach Plot and I was waiting for that event to begin.

So I waned my swords around, it turned into a multitude of shapes and all sorts of weapons. Ever since I had crafted The End in my mind, I had never needed to practice or build any sort of muscle memory.

But even then I waved my tools around to hae a feel of what I would later need to do. This wasn't really required but I had to just basically achieve the feeling of an ever changing weapon.

What this means was, what I wanted to create could basically not be achieved by lower strata of Hollow or Shinigami.

So why was I trying to hunt Major Characters before their growth. It was a test.

I just wanted to know if even in their weakest, they could serve as ingredients for my Blade.

If it's a yes then I would actively seek out all the major characters before their infinite power ups.

If it's a no, then I would wait for them to complete their multitude of power ups and hunt them down.

Even if I wasn't sure about other characters, I was sure about one thing, even in a weak state Ichigo can be fashioned out as a Blade.

Simply because his conductivity of Reishi is taken into account. Even in his weakest state, he can serve as the best meal for any kind of Hollow.

Perhaps that is why he attracts me the most. But I wasn't yet ready to face One Shinigami Captain and One Fullbringer and bring it to an end in just a few moves. Together they were an even more greater annoyance.

But more so because I wasn't sure if I could digest my earnings. Ichigo is a Beast, Reishi given shape, and in a multitude of ways, he was Reishi's first and foremost Chosen One.

Now I am not gonna chide whatever kind of dream he has. But I am gonna say, "WHAT THE F.U.C.K ???".

Everyone wants power and he is willing to run from it. That is commendable but as shown in the later arcs, he just follows back and gives up his peaceful life to protect his supernatural freinds.

So I say does it matter, since at the first sign of an unsolvable problem, people are gonna look for you or your band of freinds. Are they growing or entirely dependant on you, you alone.

In many understandable ways Ichigo holds the weight of the world on his shoulders, and all sort of people in all sorts of manner come forward and allow him this responsibility.

But I have to question, just which Idiot thought that another Idiot could guarantee your well being. Does a man who wants to live a peaceful life look like the first choice you should have when choosing someone to save the world.

Shouldn't this part be a voluntary choice ?.

This is why many movies, dramas, and series fail at their greatest. Because they show a Character who keeps on whining about his miserable life.

We get it your mother died, your grandfather died, your entire clan died, your whole lifes a lie, so lets get on the training and revenge arc already.

But then the Character goes around to want a peaceful life more than ever and we are left asking, which Idiot designed this Character.

This kind of plot is more prominent in Japanese novels and it was the rage a few years back. An OP Protagonist trying to live a carefree life.

Its a totally Japanese thing to want Order and yet want to be exposed to Chaos at the same time, just for that little bit of Adrenaline, for that little bit of thrill. A little break from their mundane lives every now and then, to a thrilling life, and yet be able to enter that same despising mundane life anytime.

Double Standards.

Wanting Power and also to be absolved of Responsibility, how naive and innocuous.

Then I read Chinese novels and I think, Japanese plot is kinda fine.

Then I continue to read Korean novels and think, maybe I should lay off the internet for a while.

All Asian novels have the same premise, a man is forcefully taking part in a script that he isn't willing to be part off.

Now I know better ones are rising, but you have to see all of them, from the good and bad to be able to judge, what's trash and what's just borderline bullshit.

Japanese novels have long a.s.s names for everything. I read a novel whose title was 'Since I did not have any power, I was banished from my party, but later on I realised I was very powerful and I beat my party up'.

That's not a title, that's a f.u.c.k.i.n.g synopsis.

The title should have been 'Banished Hero' or 'Abandoned Hero' or if you want to be chunni 'Banished OP Prince'.

Then Chinese novels come around and I feel like, what the f.u.c.k am I reading. What is the Yin and Yang Sutra, and wasn't this Heavenly art supposed to be invincible.

Then comes the naming part, 'Yin and Yang Heavenly Emperor Demon Angelic Holy Indestructible Unsurmountable War Domain Art from the Demonic Deity Sutra'.

What this scripture does is make you refine Demonic Qi and keep it in Balance with Deity Qi and achieve Yin and Yang, under this scripture you are invincible in the Heavens as long as it is War related matters.

I say F.u.c.k That.

Couldn't the name be more simple and concise like 'Heavenly WarGod Scripture'.

Three words is more than enough, make it as Grandiose as you want and just put the explanation under it. Nobody is gonna say since the name is short, maybe its less powerful than the other ones.

Then comes Korean novels, good enough plot, good enough directions, then comes skill names and it leaves me flabbergasted.

'Riding the wind like a bird - A Rank'.

Allows the user to manipulate wind and move like he was riding the wind.

Facepalm.

I could name it better, you wanna hear it, 'Wind Rider' or if you wanna add in a few details from the definition of the skill, 'Moving Wind'.

Make it simple and concise, then comes naming titles from all three places. Japan goes with its edgy and frankly good enough titles, Korea takes it a notch higher and adds a little bit of something.

China, my god.

China can't even name people properly without making it possible to kill yourself. What kind of guy wants to be titled 'Grand Heavenly Dao Venerable and Supreme Lord of Yin and Yang Maturity Deity from the Heavely Court'.

If I was announcing such a guy's arrival, I would quit the job that very day, maybe even commit suicide, because I know he isn't going to be last one to enter the Emperor's court or am I gonna survive such petty transgression.

But enough on my rants, I smell something delicious.

So I ran amok the hills and reached a Giant Garganta. As I walked through it, I veiled my Reishi signature and hid around the areas, jumped to a building I gazed a few streets away, wherein stood the targets of today.

With crimson hair and a foul looking temperament stood, Renji and with him stood a Brown eyed and black haired girl with a kind and naive look, Hinamori.

This made me break out into a satisfying grin.

Well until I realised the Hollow outbreak would begin and Aizen would appear. So I had a pretty limited time frame.

But it was, more than enough time to accomplish what I wanted.

The plot is gonna change at a vaster rate than ever before.
