Chapter 87 – The Pursuit of the Soul King

Chapter 87 – The Pursuit of the Soul King

Inside the dojo, Ailin patiently taught Haruko how to arrange spiritual power, how to chant incantations, and finally how to release Kidō.

After Haruko had completely memorized all of this, only then did she begin practicing Kidō under Ailin's supervision.

During the process of Haruko depleting and recovering her spiritual power, Ailin would sink his mind into his inner world, starting to forge new weapons.

With the foundation of several thousand Zanpakutō abilities, forging weapons from other worlds was not too difficult for Ailin.

After all, the "Unlimited Blade Works" originally contained the elements of all "swords". Ailin had templates for thousands of abilities and the "prototypes" from his memories of anime in his previous life. Wanting to forge these weapons was a very simple matter for Ailin.

However, the most important thing for Ailin in forging these weapons was to absorb the combat experience of the weapons' masters to improve himself. Therefore, "sympathetic growth from experience, reconstructing accumulated years" was the greatest difficulty Ailin faced in producing weapons.

If it was the weapons of protagonists or important supporting characters, it was fairly simple for Ailin. He only needed to extract memories of the anime from his mind, then add a bit of his own supplementation to complete them.

The most difficult to forge were instead the weapons of those with less screen time, but very outstanding weapon abilities.

If Ailin wanted to "sympathize with growth experiences" for the weapons of these people, he had to construct a "fanfiction anime" in his mind with that character as the protagonist. Furthermore, he had to sincerely approve of that "fanfiction anime" before he could instill the character's growth experiences into the weapon.

After all, if the weapons produced by Ailin lacked the combat memories of their masters, even if Ailin used Muramasa's ability to have them materialize, their strength would still be far from comparing to the Zanpakutō who originally possessed memories.

Moreover, to Ailin, the combat experience from other worlds was much more important than the pure weapon abilities.

If one could say that the combat memories from thousands of Shinigami allowed Ailin to truly cultivate the four Shinigami disciplines to the pinnacle of Shinigami, then the combat skills contained within the weapons of these other worlds served as the staircase allowing Ailin to break through the limits of "Shinigami" and advance to an even higher level of technique.

With the conclusion of yet another "fanfiction anime", Ailin closed his eyes. Chaos stirred within Unlimited Blade Works as countless "swords" resonated. Countless elements of "swords", under the control of Ailin's spiritual pressure, gathered in his palm and fused into this Zanpakutō.

Boom!

When this Zanpakutō finished forging, the Zanpakutō stabbed into the Sword Hill, within Ailin also vibrated slightly.

Very quickly, with the ability of innate boundary fields, Ailin obtained feedback on this weapon's spiritual pressure, allowing Ailin's spiritual pressure to breakthrough once more.

"I can see the limit of a Shinigami's spiritual pressure..."

...

"So this is what you pursue, Soul King."

The human world, Ailin slowly opened his eyes.

With the breakthrough in spiritual pressure, even in the human world Ailin could vaguely perceive the mutilated man sealed within the yellow crystal through the connections between spiritrons.

That was the strongest, greatest, and most selfless creator of the Shinigami world - the Soul King.Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

Upon seeing the Soul King, Ailin naturally also sensed a strand of the "Soul King's will".

With the memories in his mind, after connecting with this strand of will, Ailin finally understood just what the Soul King pursued.

Then, after Yhwach absorbed the Soul King, he would be defeated by the protagonists. In the end, Ichibē would turn him into the new "Soul King" to become the new "lynchpin" stabilizing the three realms after defeating him.

"Ah, I'm going crazy..."

Within the 2nd Division, Yoruichi Shihōin laid sprawled on the office desk like a pile of mud, the sight of her made her wish she could kill Kisuke Urahara.

Some time ago, Ailin fell out for some reason with the Kuchiki Family. Yoruichi sought Byakuya Kuchiki several times for information regarding this matter but failed to learn anything from Byakuya's mouth.

Thus, Kisuke Urahara felt that if Ailin truly now opposed the Kuchiki Family, it was likely he would attack them. When that time came, they would become enemies with Ailin.

To raise her strength, Kisuke Urahara had been bringing her to a secret base to cultivate every day recently, urging her to work on evolving Shunkō.

After all, if they truly fought Ailin, with Yoruichi's current level of Shunkō, she basically had almost no ability to resist Ailin. Regarding this point, even Kisuke Urahara felt extremely helpless.

Yoruichi possessed extremely high innate talent in Shunpo and Hakuda. Since youth, she followed her father in campaigns all over Soul Society, a true genius rising from seas of blood and mountains of corpses.

Not even a hundred years old, Yoruichi already took over as head of the Shihōin Family from her father's hands and became the new 2nd Division Captain, obtaining her own Zanpakutō.

Naturally, with strength at the Captain-level, it did not take long at all for Yoruichi to complete gestation and release of her Zanpakutō.

The pity was that in Yoruichi's opinion, even her Zanpakutō's Bankai did not provide much assistance towards raising her strength. Afterwards, she focused singlemindedly on researching how to integrate Hadō with Hakuda, completely giving up on her Zanpakutō.

Now, because Yoruichi had not called upon it for so long, her Zanpakutō had also chosen to reject Yoruichi's call. Helpless, Kisuke Urahara could only place all hopes of raising Yoruichi's strength on Shunkō.

All to help this childhood friend of his, Kisuke Urahara had also racked his brains...

Suddenly—

Dang dang dang dang...

In less than a year after Byakuya Kuchiki became 6th Division Captain, the emergency assembly alarm for Captains rang out once more within the Seireitei.

"Hmm?"

Hearing this alarm, Yoruichi instantly rose from the table, her expression solemn.

Every Captains' meeting was only held when major events occurred. For the alarm to ring so urgently this time, could Ailin be attacking the Kuchiki Family?

"Soifon, prepare yourself and follow me to the Captains' meeting."

"Yes, Lady Yoruichi!"
