The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)
Chapter 394 - Shinigami Arts...A/N: Finally 700K+ words, that is why I wrote three chaps today...
----------------------------------
[POV Reo]
Destroying the Bleach Multiverse isn't a big deal for me… I could do that with some medium level of effort if I use my Power of Destruction.
The problem comes from the Omniversal Laws, there is a particular law that separates the Physical Plane and the Spiritual Plane throughout the whole Omniverse and that law is exactly what rendering my physical powers useless on a Hollow.
The same thing is happening with Hela too… She can only harm a Hollow or some spiritual being if she is using her Crucible of Death or her True Sword. Other than that everything is useless because they exist on a completely different plane.
Yes, I have a Minor Divinity related to the Soul… that gives me absolute control over the Soul. I have already tested it on the Hollow but I can't kill a Soul with my power. (A/N: Check the wiki if you think I am nerfing him. In the wiki it is given that someone can't destroy or kill a soul with Soul Stone).
But there was a way to get around this minor problem… Reiryoku. I can use Reiryoku to get around this pesky problem and that is what I am going to do.
After returning to Knox with Hela from our extremely short date, I used my Space Powers to ste… *ahem* indefinitely borrow a lot of things. Currently, I have four stacks of books in front of me.
The first stack was related to Zanjutsu. Zanjutsu is the fighting style for the Zanpakutō (sword fighting) and is one of the four basic fighting styles of the Shinigami. It is shameful for a Shinigami to not master this technique.
I was not looking forward to this art… Swords were never my thing and never will be. I simply can't feel the passion towards swords but I will learn it… hah… a long sigh escaped from my lips.
I borrowed these books from Shin'ō Academy aka The Spiritual Arts Academy in Seireitei. I also borrowed 11 Asauchi… from their academy. I used my Soul Powers to cut off the connection between the Asauchis I have indefinitely borrowed and Oetsu Nimaiya. Since he is the creator of every single Asauchi, he can sense their location and find out who their users are…
Now, next move on to the next stack of books… the books on Hakuda. Hakuda is a close-combat style of fighting, in which one is unarmed and uses only one's body, and is one of the four basic fighting styles of the Shinigami.
Hand-to-Hand fighting styles have always pleased me so I was going to pay special attention to these books. Some of these books are borrowed from the academy, some from the Headquarters of the 2nd-Division of Soul Society and some from the personal library of the Head Honcho of Soul Society… I wanted to praise myself for being a badass.
Then my eyes moved onto the third stack of books… the books were related to Hohō. In other words, Agility… I didn't need this because Space was my bitch, but extra knowledge wouldn't hurt since I am already going to study Zanjutsu.
Hohō is a defensive style of fighting which relates to footwork. It is one of the four basic combat skills of the Shinigami. There was nothing important about this in the academy so I borrowed the books from the 2nd-Division Captain's personal collection.
Then my eyes found the final stack of books… Kidō Arts. These were the books I was most excited about. I always wanted to learn Kidō, so I borrowed a lot of books. The academy only had a few related to low-level Kidō Spells. So, I borrowed books from the library of Kidō corps but they didn't keep the level 90 or above Kidōs. So, I raided Aizen's and Captain-Commander's personal collection and I wasn't disappointed.
Kidō is a form of Shinigami combat based on advanced spells. These spells are produced with strong Reiryoku and fall into two categories: Hadō for direct attacks, and Bakudō for battle support. It is one of the techniques in the Zankensoki, the group of Shinigami primary combat skills.
Kidō spells are triggered by an incantation. Experienced users can trigger them without an incantation, though the effectiveness of the spell may be diminished.
"We have to read all of these??" Hela asked and her eyebrows started twitching and I simply shrugged.
"You can skip them but it will be your loss…" I said with a grin on my face and the twitching on Hela's face intensified. I knew what buttons to push.
"Fine… bring it on. I will learn all of this" Hela declared proudly and with a smug grin on my face I froze the time for everyone except us. I started with the books on Zanjutsu and Hela also did the same… unfortunately, Hela was a Grandmaster level Swordswoman so simply found the books useless.
I was very little interested in Zanjutsu so I skimmed through the books at a rapid pace. With my Mind Powers, it was something very simple. There was not much to learn except the Katas from the book so I stored the Katas inside my mind and picked up an Asauchi and handed one to Hela. We needed to imprint our essence on the Asauchi to get our own Zanpaktou.
"At least I will be getting a new sword out of this…" Hela mused and I nodded in agreement though I have no idea what kind of sword I was going to awaken.
Next Hela moved on to the Hohō books while I picked up the books about Hakuda. The Katas weren't much different from what Rumi had taught me in the MHA World. All the Katas were completely straightforward… Only punches, kicks, elbows and knees. Shinigamis might have given it a fancy name like Hakuda but it was basically normal martial arts.
So, I quickly made my way towards the books on Kidō and this time I wasn't disappointed. I quickly skimmed through all the books and stored the knowledge in my mind. I can practice them later… Hela also still reading the Hohō books so I decided to leave them for later and concentrate on my Zanpaktou.
I accelerated my own time and started to use my Soul Powers to imprint my essence on the Asauchi. It took me only an hour to finish something like that and I had to do use all of my willpower to keep my Zanpaktou in a normal and manageable size… with my Reiatsu, I would have a Solar System sized long sword… it would have been really comical.
"Oh… so, you already formed your Zanpaktou? I didn't expect anything less from you" Hela said in an impressed tone and she finally put down the last Hohō book.
"Want me to help you with your Zanpaktou?" I asked and Hela nodded her head.
"Just accelerate my time… I will signal you when I am done" Hela said and I did what she asked and accelerated her time. I picked up the Hohō books and started to skim through and them… it basically taught me about Flash Step and how to use them in combat.
I was done with the books so I leaned back and started to practice the Kidō Spells. It was slightly difficult in the beginning because of the Reiryoku perception but as soon as I got a hold of it… I breezed through the spells.
Hela finally waved at me… and I stopped her accelerated time. One and a half days have passed for Hela and she had already imprinted her essence. "So, were you able to learn the name of your sword?" Hela asked me and I shook my head.
"I haven't tried to talk with my Zanpaktou yet" I said and Hela smiled.
"I have talked with my Zanpaktou but for some reason… I am unable to hear its name" Hela said with a small frown.
"Don't worry… you will get it" I said and Hela nodded her head in understanding.
"Hmm… I am going to read about Hakuda and Kidō" Hela said and picked up a book on Hakuda. Only after a minute, she put down the book and picked up another one.
The scene was repeated multiple times until Hela finally smacked down a book in anger. "The fuck is this?? So disappointing" Hela said while glaring at the books related to Hakuda. Well, I already knew that she was going to find those books really disappointing.
So, I was unable to hold myself back and started chuckling… Hela immediately shot me a deadly glare and her eyes started to glow brightly… if I was someone else then I would have been shitting bricks. Hela growled in anger and lunged at me…
She pinned me down and kept glaring… "You think it was funny?" Hela asked in a dangerous tone and I simply smiled and nodded my head.
"Then tell me if you find this funny" Hela said and smashed her lips on mine and started to kiss me roughly… ooh… so she wants to play like this… she also started to grind her hips on mine…
With some application of force, I reversed our positions and bit her lip… Hela moaned into my mouth but she didn't stop trying to dominate my tongue… I finally pulled back my head so that we could look into each other's eyes.
Hela's eyes were filled with lust along and she started to release her bloodlust… I didn't hold myself back and released my own bloodlust which suppressed Hela's. We continued staring into each other's eyes until I leaned down and started to kiss her roughly and she returned the favour with similar determination…
