AN: Bleach powers here! Hollowfication FTW! Aizen gets robbed, but he's okay with it. Everyone gets some level of explanations, Miya attains Shikai, everyone powers up but the battle against the final boss has just started.
Just kidding… Adachi is faking being a mid-boss, I have plans for him to be the True Final Boss or some weird thing like that. There's some Persona 5 elements for the Investigation Team to power up
Thanks for the reviews guys.
Yeah, Adachi is a neglectful narrator at best, but is generally reliable. The next chapter will be entirely in other POV's, with some reflections along with current and future plot happenings.
If you have any ideas for a Zanpakuto for Tohru-sama, Akitsu and Yashima then do tell. Still figuring out a Bankai for Miya… Any ideas would help, and let me know if you have any 'human' power ups for the Investigation Team.
Changed the name and description of the story a bit, btw…
Chapter 20: Bleach Training Montage
Some introductions (Not that Kagari, Miya or Uzume revealed themselves as Sekirei's) and an attempted battle initiation by Musubi vs Yashima and Akitsu (Which I foiled with telekinesis) later….
"To sum it up, I heard someone scream and went to investigate. I spent around 30 seconds saving a girl called Kujou from some Sekirei yelling about taking her to some 'Higa-sama' nonsense. Then I saw you two falling from the sky, I just managed to catch you two before you two would have smacked right into the tree. Man, first night out and I'm already outed… I should have worn glasses if I knew I would be going out so soon."
Fuck secrecy and all the drama shit, better be seen as some honest but still mysterious good guy then some paranoid dark past sort of guy.
"Oh? You weren't in the business of flying around in a costume before today then?" Miya asked.
"Not explicitly. It's tough to help out as a cop due to having long worked hours and lots of protocol. Once I got fired I decided to play hero for a bit and picked the most inspiring one I could find." I admitted.
"Wait! Hold on a minute! You just 'decided' to become Superman? And you're involved in the Sekirei Plan, I mean, you're saying this stuff out loud." Minato Sahashi, the black haired Ashikabi, raised some questions.
I shrugged. "Yeah… If I'm going to be admitting stuff then why not reveal more? I always hated those super mysterious protagonist types that keep way too many secrets, so yeah, I got involved and I'm planning to take the whole plan down at some point, somehow."
That got quite a range of reactions.
I could see Kagari baring his teeth in a vicious grin for a moment before composing himself.
Miya hid her mouth behind her hakama's sleeve and giggled a little.
Uzume looked a bit worried while Iris and my Sekirei smiled with approval.
"Mou~ But I wanna fight…" Musubi, the recently introduced Sekirei pouted.
"Well, it would be better if no one had to fight at all." Minato remarked, what a peace loving guy!
"Considering that the whole premise was to force soul mates to fight each other I can safely say that it's not the most conductive environment for enjoying fights… that said, I have a magic training ground in my trunk that you can use if you want to train or spar. Yashima and Akitsu will need some training, and so does Yahan and Kaho." I pointed out.
"Oh! You know Kaho-chan? Is she one of your Sekirei too?" Musubi enthusiastically asked, I chuckled and shaked my head.
"Nah, she's with a friend of mine. Funny story, his dad actually likes her more than him and went ahead in rewriting his will to make her the main benefactor." I chuckle as I recall Yosuke's laments.
"Not to interrupt but we aren't supposed to get ordinary people involved in the whole plan thing right?" Minato asked meekly.
"No worries, I believe that everyone here is aware of the plan in some capacity." Kagari told Minato, I was actually rather surprised that he was admitting to even some part of the plan, then again… I do have that skill permanently on since I ate one too many slaver demons back in Mareth.
[Acceptance Inducement]
Whilst it was usually more of a result of convincing rape victims that they were meant to be nothing more than sex slaves, there were just too many demons that went ahead in committing such an act that it eventually conceptualised as a skill.
[Absorption Consumption] OP!
Well, maybe not as much as Regeneration OP! levels… but just slightly below the [Kryptonian Physiology] and Growth 3 learning abuse levels of OP.
Either way, I have it on at a level where it's easy to induce 'acceptance' of my explanations and concepts.
It's so convenient to just get people to accept that I'm a psychic or any of that crap. It's also particularly good in making sure certain people know their place!
More importantly, I can easily get rid of disbelief and misunderstandings… most of the time.
"Hmm, Kagari here is correct." Miya remarked.
"I see… hey, haven't I met you somewhere before?" Minato asked Kagari.
"You don't remember? We were supposed to go drinking the next time we meet." Kagari replied.
"Ah! Ehh… From Yasaka's Host club of Tokyo!" Minato came to a realisation.
"Oh? So that's where you work? It must be pretty busy considering how late you come back every night." I commented.
"It is busy. Oh, and I use the name Kagari back there as well." Kagari mentioned. "However, do you mind explaining how the two of you were falling from the skies?"
"Ehh… Musubi-chan was cheering me up and flung us both into the skies, but she didn't have a landing strategy." Minato answered with a tinge of despair.
"Hm? Question, would you prefer being caught by a flying blue alien or being pinned to a tree by a spear in order to survive a fall." I asked Minato.
"Flying blue alien, a spear would be too close to comfort." He answered quickly.
"Definitely not 'Arc' material..." I murmured to myself.
"Minato-sama! What's this?" Musubi asked while pointing to the dining table.
"That's a board game Musubi, I believe that's Monopoly." He answered her question.
"Who's winning by the way?" I asked since I wasn't paying attention back then to the game when I was talking with Miya.
Iris had the majority of the paper money in her hand and waved victoriously.
Uzume, Yashima and Akitsu slumped in despair.
Honestly, they had no chance considering Iris's luck stat level.
I praised Iris for winning easily.
"Oh! We really should get the both of you a change of clothes." Miya pointed out to them both.
"If you don't mind me helping out, I could dry it now for the both of you." I offered, taking out one of the Elder Wands I collected from those Harry Potter fanfic verses.
This one didn't have any of the whole Master of Death nonsense and was just an extremely powerful wand that wanted to be used to kill.
"I'm getting Deathly Hollow flashbacks…" Uzume muttered softly.
"Please don't tell me that the Rowling was a squib theory is actually true." Kagari groaned.
"I won't tell you then." And with a flick, I coloured Kagari's hair into rainbow colours.
"Pft! Ahahaha!" Uzume laughed at Kagari, who raised an eyebrow before Miya somehow took a mirror from somewhere, showing him his changed hair colour.
He fumed in embarrassed raged.
"Change my hair colour back damnit!"
"Language Kagari!"
Miya chided Kagari, she seemed to have an inner prankster within her.
"Woah! Magic IS real!" Minato said with awe.
"Pretty sparkles!" Musubi was concerned with something less important.
They accepted my offer to dry their clothes, and I did so after changing Kagari's hair colour back to silver.
Funnily enough, Minato was still terrified of the Thestral tail hair wand when I pointed it at him.
Was he expecting me to Aveda Kedavra him?
At some point Miya lent Minato her husband's old clothes since his clothes had some tears in them.
I would have fixed them, but decided I wouldn't want to be the Doraemon to everyone's problems.
"You must be pretty tough if you can handle being flung into the sky by her." I praised Minato, I mean, she looked like a tough Sekirei.
"U-uh thanks, I don't think I'm that tough through. I'm just average and my arms are pretty sore from it." He sure wasn't used to praise, still, I saw an opportunity in this.
"Is that so? I can fix that."
I used my [Armor Pierce] skill to empower my telekinesis, making a small cut in my finger while pulling out a trickle of my blood, concentrating it into a pellet.
"[High Potion of Blood], so long as the blood is freely given it can be used as like a healing potion. Swallow it."
"Wha- Uh, you don't need to trouble yourself with me, honest!"
"Don't be a wimp and swallow!"
I 'convinced' him to take my blood, immediately, he seemed full of energy and was hopping around for a few seconds before stopping to thank me.
I could already see Uzume tensing as she looked thoughtful, just as planned.
"Alright, you're a magician, super human and your blood can heal… what's next?" Kagari asked in a joking manner.
"I'm psychic, I can teleport and kill people with my mind."
"I'm out. The Sekirei Plan is won. Suck it Minaka Hiroto!" Kagari yells victoriously for some odd reason.
I don't know why, but Miya seemed a little smug and wasn't chiding Kagari for foul language.
"Onii-sama, I'm *yawn* sleepy."
"Then it's time for bed then."
"You'll show me a bedtime story again?"
"Yes, yes, I'll show you a story. If anyone wants to come along and watch Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman vs Doomsday you're welcome to join."
I pick Iris up to the room we are sharing. It's two people to one room in the Izumo Inn, having said that, I rented two rooms where Iris and I would stay in one whilst Akitsu and Yashima will share the other.
"Is that really the type of story you tell to young girls?" Miya seemed aghast.
"She was raised on killing monsters, trust me, it's a long story."
With Titania equipped, I made an illusion using the scenes fed to me by Kaleidoscope Izanagi. Along with that, I used the [Sound Production] ability to play Hans Zimmers & Junkie XL's 'This Is My World' soundtrack.
Since they didn't have to deal with bad editing most of the watchers found it very emotional, I think only Kagari and I didn't cry when Superman sacrificed his life. My excuse was because I was concentrating.
I tucked Iris into bed (futon) and decided to do a little adventuring for something I think might help in allowing the gang to use their Persona's easily.
Hueco Mundo, Sosuke Aizen POV
At last…
All the necessary Arrancarification's have been completed.
With Wondeweiss Margela specifically empowered to deal with the old head captain's flames victory is all but assured.
Sosuke Aizen paced towards the small box specifically made to contain the Hogyoku.
It was time to fuse with the Hogyoku.
To become it's one and only master.
To transcend to a higher state of existence.
"! This can't be!"
He was shocked.
The Crumbling Orb was gone!
In its place was a vial containing a shining light… which immediately broke out and entered his body!
Suddenly, he found himself seeing what seems to be the future! Of how he did transcend but was ultimately defeated and sealed away by Ichigo Kurosaki!
The Wandenreicg, Yhwach's 'The Almighty' and his final incarceration!
And to think the Soul King was this USELESS lynchpin that was never replaced in the end…
What a waste, this entire pursuit was a waste…
But he found out something, the Wandenreich was in a dimension right next to Seireitei!
He could use this as a bargaining chip, or better yet, an opportunity.
These memories of the future and the disappearance of the Hogyoku has to be linked… perhaps his future self-had devised time travel and decided that the transcending through the Hogyoku was not the path that should be pursued.
He would have to plan further… Hmm, perhaps he could arrange an attempted recruitment by Yhwach to place him under Kyoka Suigetsu's influence whilst orchestrating the Gotei's preparations against Yhwach.
Mobilising the Espada could help turn the tides enough, so long as Yhwach is taken down before he regains the Almighty then it's within the possibility that he could sweep in and take over after the fighting was over.
The memories were not over, suddenly, he saw that damn Urahara working on his Hogyoku…
This…this is it! This is what he needs to complete his own Hogyoku!
All he needs is time…
He supposed it was about time he used his Bankai.
Shin Tokyo, Izumo Inn
[Masterful Reiatsu Manipulation], [Desire Materialisation – Guidance], [Overwhelming Reiatsu], [Transcendent Evolution – Primal Fear induced], [Hollowfication], [Arrancarification], [Shinigamification], [Hybrid Form], [Full-Bring], [Soul Manipulation]
Fuck. Yes.
Unfortunately, this highly suggests that Unshaken Will is likely interfere with my evolution into a transcendent being… still, it's a step in the right direction to reaching the point of defeating beings like Izanami, Kagutsuchi, Nyx, YHWH and others.
At some point, Minato and Musubi left the house only to return immediately to hash out a deal to rent a room.
Hmm? Is Minato trying to ask me something?
"Uh, Adachi-san, Yashima and Akitsu are both your Sekirei right?"
"Yeah?"
"Aren't they, I don't know, really quiet?"
"…Mmm, it's more of the case that when it comes to explanations, they know better than to speak out. I handle most of the explanations, if I want them to contribute I'll let them. Trust me, they are way more active in their hobbies. Akitsu really likes art and Yashima is quite passionate in the kitchen, although she's not that good yet she's much better at being a food critic."
"Should Ashikabi and Sekirei relationships… really be like that?"
"Hmm, to each their own. I'm more domineering so …" I trailed off at that, Musubi came by and dragged Minato to bed.
I listened in a bit with my super hearing whilst I was practicing precognition so that I could play Superman a bit better.
I also noted down some times and locations of disasters that will happen soon in America, after all, I wanted to be a global presence just to mess with people.
"My problems are piling up. This is gonna be tough."
"Minato-sama. I'll try hard, too. Let's go work part-time together."
"Musubi…"
"You're gonna have to study a bunch, too."
"…Sorry…I…talked like I was giving up, back then…"
"You mean…from before?"
"…Yeah."
Man, Minato really sounds down on his luck.
I hear some shuffling and eh? Oh, Musubi kissed him, I could note some small amounts of heat and light emanating from her room.
Eh? She fell asleep right after giving him some really touching words.
Sucks to be him…
The next morning was rather peaceful, I sent Yashima and Akitsu to help Minato move some of his stuff to the Izumo Inn whilst Iris was sparring with Miya in the morning within the magic trunk world. Well, her excuse was that she just wanted to see if it was a safe place, but Iris took her blade I got from the Reaper to pick a fight with her. And at some point, Miya grabbed some katana from the inn before going back in the trunk.
At this point, Miya and I hashed out a deal that I'll do breakfasts every day while splitting dinner duties, Miya will handle all the lunches.
I snuck Eggs Benedict on a plate to a certain corner of the inn, and grinned at the hidden camera, I saw with my X-ray vision a red haired Sekirei crawling and snatching the food from where I left it.
She was simultaneously frustrated with me finding out about her and grateful for the food, as shown by her food-gasm.
I'll let her sneak around a bit longer since Miya didn't talk about her.
"Onii-sama! I'm hungry, is breakfast ready yet?" Iris came running into the kitchen where I was finishing up breakfast.
"It's ready, but we should wait for Yashima, Akitsu, Musubi and Minato to get back. That said, where's Asama-san?"
"Ah, Miya-neechan is resting in the dining room."
"Oh? So you tired her out then, your big brother is so proud of you!"
I took a peek in the dining room and saw Miya with her head planted on the dining table, muttering repeatedly in disbelief.
"Twelve years old…twelve years old…"
I also noted her Katana was… uh, broken… at the side. I guess I'll get her a replacement then.
I guess it shouldn't be a surprise. No matter how strong Sekirei are it's not like they'll stand a chance against Iris.
The thing about the adventurer card statuses is that whilst they rise slowly, at higher levels, the level of power rises exponentially.
I had my Persona's run the calculations for me.
15 in one status is about average. 100 are around comic book peak human.
101-200 is about superhuman level, at 200, the stat denotes around 5 times the level of a peak human.
This rises exponentially, with another *5 added on top of the previous bonus.
I would say that each 100 in each status denotes a whole near Tier of bonuses.
At 300, this means the person gains *10 Peak human power in one status, in addition to what they have previously, which means a *1 and *5 in peak human strength.
At 400, the total is *31. After reaching 500, the user is at *46 Peak human ability. 600? 66 times Peak Human ability…
700 is about where Iris began at Level 1 due to her lineage of overpowered heroes and princesses… that's about 91 times human ability.
She gains about 7 stat points for each level, in the time we spent hunting monsters, she gained thirty levels.
When she reached 800, she was 121 times stronger than DCEU Batfleck.
And when she reached Level 31, she had at least 910 in each status, meaning she was at least 156 times faster and stronger than Batfleck. (She's at least Mach 5)
In the Fate system, each Servant Rank starting from E is about 10 times a peak human.
Berserker from Fate has an A+ Rank in Strength with Mad Enhancement, if Iris were to throw herself into a fight against Berserker she would be swatting his attacks with relative ease.
Most people in Fantasy Australia would be extremely powerful to make it over 200, quite a few Reincarnators that Iris told me about would probably reach up to 600 due to their 'cheats', and can go further if they are buffed or have certain magic items made.
Most of the Demon Kings are at least that powerful too, and the Demon King with multiple generals that Kazuma would face was one of the stronger ones.
Although Vanir, a Duke of Hell should be stronger than that Demon King…
Kaleidoscope Izanagi is about Mach 20 and could smash a town in pure strength, his strikes and my strikes by extension are comparable with low end nukes.
With Iris's Armour Piercing skills and her own Persona she could probably kick my ass if I was only using Kaleidoscope Izanagi.
Her own Persona was pretty overpowered in my opinion.

"There, there, have some breakfast." I don't know why Miya is so down about having her katana breaking in a spar, it's probably Iris's weapon breaking skills working its magic.
She ate furiously before everyone arrived.
I sighed and retrieved Draupnir, the All Creating Gold from my inventory.
Using the cheat item along with the bonus 'blueprints the gods that run Konosuba had included, I created an Asauchi from it.
The nameless Zanpakuto which all low-class Shinigami wield, although this version seemed to be weaker, generic and can be used by anyone with some sort of special energy.
The gods that run Konosuba are kind indeed.
On the other hand, it's these kinds of cheats that are left behind by failed reincarnators that end up being used by all sorts of terrible people.
"Uwah!" Iris looked at me with amazement, hmm… I seemed to have been too focussed as to have missed the little light show that occurred.
"You made a katana? Honestly, is there anything you can't do?" Miya said with some exasperation.
"I can't kill certain gods and I can't bring back the dead."
"It was rhetorical."
"I know. Never mind that, here, take it. You need a replacement katana and I think you'll like this weapon."
"Oh my! Offering your 'sword' to a widower like myself? What would my dearly departed Takehito say?"
"He would say that the woman known as Miya Asama can't go wrong with accepting someone's sword."
"Somehow I doubt that. You really don't think much about the act of giving, do you?" She hid her giggling expression with her hand before accepting the sword.
Our social link strengthened to level 4 after that.
"I try not to be a cost-benefit analysis type of guy. By the way, you might want to google the term 'Asauchi' for a 'how-to' guide in using that special sword."
"I don't believe I've ever used the internet before."
…How old fashioned…
I grinned. "I'm sure that there's someone willing to help their landlady out." I looked towards where the red-haired Sekirei was with my X-ray vision before smirking to myself.
"Yes… I'm certain that 'some' people would gladly to some research to earn their stay instead of being a freeloader." Miya says those words with the passive aggressive tone along with a scary smile.
The magic trunk opened to reveal Yu and Minako trying to get out of it at the same time.
"You guys could have tried going out one by one." I said drily as I served breakfast on the table.
"We were racing to the exit." Minako explained.
How competitive!
Eventually, the whole gang emerged from the magic trunk just as Minato, Musubi, Yashima and Akitsu arrived back.
"I don't think the dining room is big enough for everyone."
"Don't worry pretty landlady! A wizard is here!"
A few waves, swishes and flicks of the Elder Wand later…
The room was enlarged without any other repercussions to the home, along with the size of the dining table.
There was a really busy breakfast table.
Yosuke and Kanji apparently had to share a bed due to the size of Yashima's apartment whilst Yu was on the couch like the 'bachelor' he was.
So apparently Yosuke wasn't feeling safe around Kanji with his sexuality in doubt…
Kaho was too busy catching up with Musubi to add anything to Yosuke's issues.
Yahan apparently mugged some thugs that tried to mug her some time ago and was appraising the 'loot' with the resident adventurer, Iris. Aigis added her professional appraisal skills to their endeavour.
And no one gave a shit, except Minato who was afraid.
Uzume shot me a few glances as we ate.
Minako and Miya got along very well, maybe it's because they both had suffered losses in the past.
Yukiko and Chie were getting tips from Yashima about cooking ( I don't know why they're not asking me, the certified faker master chef).
Akitsu had her head rested against my shoulder after she ate her share of breakfast, and we enjoyed some quality physical contact.
Kagari dropped by for a bit to eat before crashing in his room, no doubt exhausted from his host club work.
I could hear some cries of suffering from the hidden room.
No doubt that red-haired Sekirei is feeling deprived of good food.
Magic Trunk world
"I did not expect that at all."
"You mean you didn't make a sword that would fly to a prospective owner?"
"No, no… the Asauchi wasn't supposed to fly into your hands… then again, considering that you've hosted Death before it shouldn't be such a surprise."
Yes, I made an Asauchi with Draupnir that somehow flew and bonded with Minako instantly.
"Oh man oh man! This is gonna be awesome, I mean, it's a freaking Zanpakuto! I still read Bleach and I can't wait to go Bankai on everyone's asses!" Yosuke said with excitement.
"Actually, since Persona is a human only power none of you will become Shinigami anytime soon." I inform them.
Yosuke fell into despair.
Kaho rubbed his head in a motherly fashioned to ease his despair.
Yahan who was next to Yu, looked at Yosuke with disappointment until Yu gave her a look, which made her cease her actions.
Minato, Musubi and Miya (Uzume went to sleep as well), came to watch our training after breakfast. Yashima, Akitsu and Iris were also participating in the training, Iris did have her own Persona after all.
"So… what are we doing here?" Chie asked.
"I swallowed the Hogyoku, so I can kick start the process to utilising your Persona powers… I'm guessing I can at least impart some degree of [Soul Manipulation] to the point where you can fuse with your Personas."
"That does make a lot of sense since our Persona's come from the Sea of Souls." Minako remarks thoughtfully.
"I also have a potential way to accelerate your growths."
"What's that?" Minako asked.
"I can combine the Desire Manifestation parts with the Transcendent Evolution parts of another skill to a minor extent, there's a small caveat through."
"Meh… we can take it." Minako dismisses.
I grinned and activated [Overwhelming Reiatsu], bringing about immense spiritual pressure while using my [Masterful Reiatsu Manipulation] to lower it to the point where I would just cause fear rather than erase their existence.
Reiatsu at its most basic level can instil fear in others when it is very high (in comparison to the one feeling it).
Most of them were completely paralysed with fear, with some of them finding it hard to stand.
Miya could handle the pressure fine, but seemed to be having flashbacks of some sorts that prevented her from moving.
Minato and Musubi were handling it rather well, they were only extremely fearful and paralysed but weren't on their knees.
Perhaps Ashikabi's have strong spirits?
Kanji, Chie and Yukiko were all but struggling to stand up and had almost given up.
Aigis, Minako and Iris were pressured but just about fine.
Yu, Yosuke, Yashima, Akitsu, Kaho and Yahan had this feeling of certain defeat, yet they were still standing, although they were finding it hard to move.
Good luck guys, your desires would only be manifested if you have the strength to carry them out.
"Now come at me! Show me the strength you had to face your true self! Show me the façade you use to face your hardships!"
I went full final boss on them.
I placed a hand over my face, and pulled it down in a 'ripping' manner.
Tearing space while bringing into existence a mask of spiritual particles.
[Hollowfication]
I couldn't lose control, but that didn't meant I couldn't fight in a feral manner while controlling the fight.
Using my hollow form just made things easier.
I couldn't see my own form, all I knew about it was that I was going on all fours as I altered the strength of my reiatsu and attacks accordingly to every individual.
My hearing didn't have time to adjust to the quick change but I could tell that Minako, Aigis, Iris and eventually Yu were giving motivational speeches of Shounen Jump proportions.
Eventually, everyone began fighting against me.
Even Minato, Miya, and Musubi…
They co-operated as I held back against them.
The only people that could really damage me were Yu, Minako, Iris and Aigis due to their Almighty Attacks. I took those attacks since I could regenerate from it as if I wasn't damaged in the first place.
Everyone teamed up in helping each other 'block' my attacks (I pulled back at the last second before striking any of them, letting my Reiatsu damage them a little), 'distract me' (Please…), and 'dodge' my attacks (Don't get me started on how slow they are, Superman body OP!).
People that couldn't damage me were relegated to supporting everyone else.
Eventually, they managed to summon their Persona's.
I focused on maximising the primal fear in each attack, for Iris, I had to combine [Intimidation of the Strong] and my psychic abilities to overpower her 'Unshaken Will' skill from her Persona.
I escalated.
I started to blast Cero's in a manner that would only injure, but not kill. I had to flare up my Reiatsu to give them the impression that I was going to kill them, however.
They eventually evolved again, with the Persona users moving forward to tank the attacks with a new form.
They still had their Persona's summoned, however, they now had clothing reminiscent on their summoned Persona's along with wearing masks.
Yosuke looked really cool in his Jiraiya fused Ninja wear, Kanji appeared macho, Yukiko has the appearance of a red tengu princess and Chie looked like a female samurai.
Oh? A fusion form that gives them more durability and access to their Persona stats?
Just as planned.
Hmm? Did my hearing return?
I could hear Iris using Salvation on the party, healing them all up.
"-hru! Stop this already!" Minako was… shouting at me? She looked like a real saint with her Persona's robe on her.
"Stay still so we can bring you to your senses." Yu said calmly in a determined manner, looking like a total badass in his Izanagi long coat.
"Tohru-sama! It's enough! / Cool off…" Yashima and Akitsu declared.
"Cooling Down…" Aigis seems to be deactivating Orgia Mode, her fusion form includes a white dress and a blue shield.
"Enough is enough, let's end this dance…" Kaho said as she stood by Yosuke, her clothes slightly torn.
"Hmph! If you think this would be enough to keep any of us down then you're sorely mistaken!" Yahan was trying way too hard to be cool.
"Adachi-san… Musubi, let's save him." Minato manned up and was about to kiss Musubi for her Norito.
"Onii-sama… you can stop now…" Iris says as if she knows… oh wait, Yashima and Akitsu doesn't seem to be a nervous wreck, maybe that's what gave it away.
Oh? Do they actually think I'm mad, gone crazy or something? I was just acting retarded.
I noted that they were in surprisingly good shape.
"…We may not be in the bounds of the Izumo Inn, but I think we've had enough violence for today." Miya, who's hakama had suffered quite a bit of damage, was holding her glowing Asauchi pointed at me as she was filled with DETERMINATION.
Wait… glowing?
Alright now that has got to be a record breaking time for learning how to use-
"Fall from the Heavens!"
-Shikai!
A long katana that was pure white, with the exception of light purple lines that formed an indescribable pattern along the blade…. It reminded me of Kanshou, Emiya's black Yang sword's pattern.
"Tenshi no Hane!"
Angel's feathers… or was it wings?
! Since when did she get so close!
Was it some unconscious use of the leftover spirit particles from my Cero as a crude use of Flash Stepping or Bringer Light?
In any case, she was in front of me, and I decided to throw her a bone by allowing her to strike me.
She slashed!
At the air in front of me…huh?
A closer look showed what seemed to be white feathers with a purple outline separating from the blade as she swung it.
Oh… I've seen something like this with Senbonzakura, if my hunch is right then the feathers will-
Turn into blades and cut me.
I stood still for a moment.
She actually managed to make shallow cuts on me despite my physical repelling skills.
My analysis powers deduced that the feathers turned blades had a minor concept of 'cutting' attached to it, bypassing my immunity and allowing her rudimentary use of whatever Sekirei energy she had to damage me slightly.
Impressive.
But it's not enough… I reached out my hand? Claw? I grabbed her face with it, lifting her up in the air while using telekinesis to prevent her from cutting me again.
"MpphHH!" She could barely curse as I held her up.
I hear the rest of the party calling out Miya's name… hmm, should I give them despair?
[Feathered Wyvern Wings]
A sharp pain shoots through my back as six pairs of white feathered wyvern wings form behind me, I took to the skies and tossed Miya down into the ground lightly, allowing Minako to catch the landlady.
I summoned Sephiroth's Replica Blade and began to play 'One-Winged Angel'.
I can still push them harder, and if they are on the verge of exhaustion? I'll heal them myself, again and again until they transcend.
This is for their own good.
They'll thank me later.
