Chapter 78:
"Are you ready to make the next Schrift?" Yhwach asked.
"I am," Ichigo replied.
"Can I suggest something?" a voice asked.
"Azrael, go ahead," Ichigo said, recognizing the voice. Azrael appeared in front of Ichigo.
"I suggest you create two Schrifts. The first Schrift should be related to the angelic energy you get from Longinus, while the second should be tied to the demonic energy you gain from the Jigoku no Yoroi," Azrael suggested.
"Why?" Ichigo asked.
"Longinus and being the Jigoku no Kōtei don't offer flexible ways to utilize all their powers. For instance, I would reason that being the Jigoku no Kōtei should allow you to manipulate all Seven Deadly Sins, but right now, you only have Wrath," Azrael proposed.
"I see. What would you propose for names?" Ichigo inquired.
"I suggest Schrift Q: The Qliphoth and Schrift S: The Sephira," Azrael replied.
"Okay," Ichigo said, accepting the suggestion. "Which one should we start with first?"
"I would recommend starting with Schrift S: The Sephira," Azrael advised.
"Okay," Ichigo agreed.
"When you bestow the Schrift upon yourself, try to ensure it doesn't merge with Schrift T: The Taiyo," Yhwach warned, handing Ichigo Schrift S: The Sephira.
"I will," Ichigo replied, taking the Schrift orb from him. "I, Kurosaki Ichigo, bestow upon myself this Schrift," Ichigo said, pushing it into his body. Suddenly, he could feel the holy energy from Longinus flowing inside of him. After a few minutes, the holy energy stopped flowing. Ichigo could sense Schrift S: The Sephira beginning to generate holy energy and storing it within the Schrift.
"How do you feel?" Yhwach asked.
"I feel good," Ichigo replied.
"Looks like Schrift S: The Sephira is working fine," Azrael commented.
"Yes, I am functioning as expected," a voice responded. They turned to see an adult woman appear in a flash of holy light. She had a beautiful face, fair skin, bright blue eyes, and long blonde hair with bangs falling over the left side of her forehead. A golden halo hovered above her head. Her slender, voluptuous figure was adorned in white robes outlined in blue, with a golden decorative belt around her waist. Behind her, six pairs of golden-white wings emerged.
"Who are you?" Yhwach asked.
"Hello, my Master and Creator. I am the physical embodiment of Schrift S: The Sephira," she introduced herself with a kind smile.
"What is your name?" Ichigo asked.
"I will reveal my name shortly, Master," she replied.
"Okay. What abilities do you have?" Ichigo asked.
"I have a total of ten abilities," Keter began. "The first is called Keter [Crown]." A golden crown appeared on her head. "Keter allows me to freely manipulate holy energy and create holy-imbued elements."
"So, Holy Fire, Holy Water, Holy Wind, Holy Metal, Holy Earth, Holy Light, and Holy Shadow?" Ichigo asked.
"Correct," Keter answered. "Thanks to Keter, I can also create a physical form, so please call me Keter." She added with a soft smile.
"I see… please continue," Ichigo said. Keter nodded, and the golden crown disappeared.
"The second ability is called Chokmah [Wisdom," Keter continued as a white book appeared in her right hand. "It allows me to read the 'Truth' of the world or the history of any object in front of me." She paused. Yhwach groaned, drawing everyone's attention.
"Now we have another obsolete Schrift," Yhwach muttered, referring to Schrift R: The Rekishi [History].
"Sorry," Keter apologized.
"It's fine. Please continue," Yhwach said, waving it off. The book in Keter's hand disappeared.
"The third ability is called Binah [Understanding," Keter explained, as a pair of black glasses appeared on her face. "It allows me to alter causality."
"Like Scáthach's Gáe Bolg?" Ichigo asked.
"Correct," Keter confirmed, and the glasses disappeared.
"The fourth ability is called Geburah [Strength," Keter said, raising her hand. A large red and black halberd appeared in her grasp (1). The halberd was over six feet long and four feet wide, but despite its size, Keter held it with ease. "Geburah boosts our overall offensive capabilities and grants stronger control over fire and metal." The halberd disappeared as she continued.
"The fifth ability is called Chesed [Mercy," Keter said, summoning a golden staff with a golden scale on top. "Chesed enhances our magic abilities and allows us to impose an Adjudication Space, where we serve as the Adjudicator, bringing peace, harmony, and justice to all parties." The staff disappeared.
"The sixth ability is called Tiferet [Adornment," Keter continued, conjuring a golden shield with a silver cross. "Tiferet boosts our defense capabilities and draws the attention of all enemies toward us." She allowed the shield to vanish.
"The seventh ability is called Hod [Glory," Keter said, summoning a violet flagpole with a white flag and a brown cross at the top. "Those who see Hod fluttering in the air will regain their will, courage, and strength, while forgetting their fatigue, fear, and doubt." The flagpole disappeared.
"The eighth ability is called Netzach [Victory," Keter explained, raising her hand as a bone-white horn appeared. The horn was adorned with golden angelic runes. "This is Netzach." Keter blew into the horn, producing a booming sound. Suddenly, a golden seal appeared around her, and three knights materialized. They were fully clad in golden armor: one with a sword and shield, another with a bow and quiver, and the last with a halberd. All three knights rode white pegasi, also adorned in matching golden armor.
"Netzach grants us the ability to summon an army of knights," Keter said. "I've used your memories to teach them how to fight and wield their weapons." She let the knights and Netzach vanish.
"The ninth one is called Yesod [Foundation," Keter said as a golden scepter appeared in her hand. She tapped it on the ground, and a seal made of holy energy appeared around them. The seal had a diameter of about 1 kilometer (0.6214 miles). "This seal has several effects. For our allies, it temporarily grants the holy attribute to all their spells. For those who already possess the holy attribute, the seal boosts their power. As for our enemies, this seal weakens the power of demonic foes, decreases the durability of demonic weapons, increases the energy consumption of demonic spells, and diminishes the effect of demonic spells," Keter explained.
"The tenth and final one is called Malkuth [Kingdom]." A suit of golden armor appeared on Keter, covered in angelic runes. The armor was designed not to restrict her wings. "As you can see, Malkuth is a set of golden armor," Keter said as she swirled around, showing off the armor.
"Is that all Malkuth can do?" Ichigo asked.
"Malkuth can also do something else," Keter replied. A part of her armor flew off her body and formed into a cutlass that was about a meter (3.2 feet) long. The blade was engraved with golden angelic runes. The basket-shaped guard was decorated with angel wings on each side. She grabbed the sword. "You can also use Malkuth to transform into golden swords. You can wield them like regular swords or control them with your mind." Keter let go of the sword, and instead of falling, it soared into the air.
"How many can we create?" Ichigo asked.
"Up to ten swords," Keter replied. "I can also take control of them if necessary," she explained.
"I see…" Ichigo murmured. Keter deactivated Malkuth, causing everything to disappear.
"I hope I serve you well, my Master," Keter said, kissing Ichigo on the cheek before vanishing in a flash of holy light.
"Now, for the next one," Yhwach said, holding the final Schrift orb.
"I would recommend transforming into the Jigoku no Kōtei before you absorb that Schrift," Azrael suggested, before returning to Ichigo's mindscape. Ichigo summoned the Jigoku no Yoroi. Yhwach handed him the last Schrift orb.
"Be careful," Yhwach warned as he presented Schrift Q: The Qliphoth to Ichigo.
"I will," Ichigo replied, taking the Schrift orb. "I, Kurosaki Ichigo, bestow upon myself this Schrift," he said, pushing it into himself. Suddenly, the skulls on the Jigoku no Yoroi glowed red as demonic energy poured out, flowing into his body. Ichigo could feel the demonic energy filling Schrift Q: The Qliphoth. After five minutes, the Jigoku no Yoroi stopped releasing energy, and Ichigo sensed Schrift Q: The Qliphoth beginning to generate its own demonic energy and store it inside the Schrift.
Suddenly, a ball of dark purple energy appeared before Ichigo. The energy dissipated, revealing an adult woman. She had an absolutely beautiful face, caramel-colored skin, gold-green eyes, and back-length silver hair. Ichigo noticed a pair of golden curled horns peeking out from her silver hair. She had long, pointy elf ears on the sides of her head. Her body was toned, healthy, and beautiful, with widened hips, long legs, a slim waist, small abs, and large breasts. She wore a tight black dress revealing her chest, black shoulder pads with gold lining, white stockings, and black long boots with golden trim. Behind her, Ichigo could see six pairs of black wings. A long, thin, black tail with a heart-shaped tip extended from her lower back.
"Hello, my Master and Creator. I am the physical manifestation of Schrift Q: The Qliphoth," she said with a seductive smile.
"Hello," Ichigo replied.
"Relax, my Master," she purred. She snapped her fingers, and a black throne appeared behind him. She walked over, casually swaying her hips, and gently pushed Ichigo into the throne. She immediately sat on his lap and caressed his face.
"Stop wasting our time. Tell us your abilities," Yhwach interrupted.
"Fine," she said with a pout. "I have a total of ten abilities," she began. "The first is called Naamah [Tyrant Ruler] (2)." A black crown with dark purple jewels appeared on her head. "Naamah allows me to freely manipulate demonic energy and create demonic-imbued elements."
"So, Demonic Fire or Hellfire, Demonic Water, Demonic Wind, Demonic Metal, Demonic Earth, Demonic Light, and Demonic Darkness?" Ichigo asked.
"Correct," she said. "Due to Naamah, I can create a physical form, so please call me Naamah," she added.
"I see… please continue," Ichigo said. Naamah nodded, and the black crown disappeared.
"The second one is called Ghagiel [Confusion of the Power of God," Naamah continued as a black book appeared in her hands. "With Ghagiel, I can alter the 'Truth' of anything I touch," she explained. The book disappeared from her hands.
"The third ability is called Sathariel [Concealment of God," Naamah said as a black faceless mask appeared on her face. "I need two live targets." She looked at Ichigo, who summoned the tablet and created a copy of Yuzu and Karin. "Perfect," she said as she stood up. "Sathariel's first ability allows me to create and store a copy of my target's soul." Naamah glanced at Yuzu and Karin before continuing. "I can then transform into the target." She placed the mask on her face. Her entire body turned into black liquid before transforming into a mirror image of Yuzu.
"I can replicate all their physical features, habits, memories, thoughts, and magical abilities," Naamah said, speaking in Yuzu's voice. She stood up, activated Yuzu's armor, and transformed into her. She quickly deactivated the armor and returned to her original form.
"Sathariel's other ability allows me to imprint the soul image onto something else," Naamah explained. She walked over to Karin, placed the mask on her forehead, and the black liquid oozed out, covering Karin. The liquid disappeared, revealing Yuzu. Ichigo closed his eyes and tried to sense Yuzu and Karin. Despite seeing Karin transforming into Yuzu due to the imprint, his senses identified both of them as Yuzu. Ichigo opened his eyes and looked at Naamah.
"Would your ability work on a golem?" Ichigo asked.
"Yes, it will," Naamah replied. She pulled the mask off Karin, restoring her to normal. The black faceless mask disappeared, and Ichigo allowed Yuzu and Karin to disappear.
"The fourth ability is called Gamchicoth [Devourer," Naamah said as she raised her hands toward Ichigo. Ichigo saw slits appear on her palms. As the slits opened, a black hole was revealed. "This ability can appear in any part of my body. Gamchicoth allows me to devour anything and empower my body based on what I devour," Naamah explained as the slits closed, returning her hands to normal.
"The fifth one is called Golachab [Burners with Fire," Naamah said as she raised her hand. A two-meter (6.5 feet) long black broadsword materialized in her grip. The blade resembled a butcher's knife, with two cutouts: one a circle near the top and another semi-circular one closer to the handle. "Golachab needs to drink blood to unleash its true power," Naamah explained, handing the sword to Ichigo. He grasped Golachab and pricked his finger, letting his blood flow onto the blade's edge. The sword's black blade slowly turned red.
"That's enough for the explanation," she added. Ichigo handed the sword back. "The more blood Golachab absorbs, the redder the blade becomes." She gripped the sword with both hands, swinging it as a large stream of fire shot from its edge. "The redder Golachab becomes, the stronger your physical attack with it. You can also pour the blood it collects into a target, turning them into a Blood Berserker, a mindless warrior who charges into battle, leaving only blood and death behind."
Naamah allowed Golachab to disappear.
"The sixth one is called Thagirion [Disputers]." A black staff appeared in her hand. The staff's top was adorned with a spider, and its shaft resembled scales, tapering into a sharp point. "Thagirion has two abilities," Naamah continued, tapping the staff on the ground. The ground trembled as blackened stone walls rose around them, reaching over 3 meters (9.84 feet) in height. Black fog began to descend, slowly blocking out the sunlight. "Thagirion creates a stone maze called the Labyrinth of Discord, where the target must traverse."
"I assume they can't just destroy the walls?" Ichigo asked.
"They can try, but I doubt they'll have enough time," Naamah replied, gesturing toward giant scorpions about 1 meter (3 feet) in size. "The Labyrinth of Discord is guarded by these special scorpions, known as Discord Scorpions."
"Besides their size, what makes these scorpions special?" Ichigo asked.
"The Discord Scorpions have spider spinnerets between their claws," Naamah answered with a smile as the scorpions began spewing webs at the walls.
"Can you summon them outside the Labyrinth?" Ichigo asked.
"They can be summoned, but they are most effective when the sun is gone," Naamah explained, tapping the staff once more. The labyrinth and scorpions vanished.
"The seventh one is called Harab Serapel [Ravens of the Burning God]." A pair of silver Tai Chi sabers appeared in Naamah's hands, each about 80 cm (2.62 feet) long. The blades resembled single-edged swords, curving sharply toward the tip. They had an S-guard, black wooden handles, and pommel rings (3). "Harab Serapel has two abilities." She turned the sabers black. "I need two live targets, one male and one female."
Ichigo created copies of Suì-Fēng and Kyōraku using his tablet.
"Will this work?" Ichigo asked.
"Yes," Naamah replied. "When someone is cut by Harab Serapel, they transform into a human-raven hybrid." She stabbed Kyōraku in the chest. The clone groaned as black feathers sprouted all over his body. Within minutes, Kyōraku had fully transformed: his face became that of a raven, his chest covered in feathers, and black wings sprouted from where his forearms once were. His legs were also covered in black scales, and his hands turned into claws, while his feet changed to talons. His shihakushō had been mostly destroyed by the transformation.
Naamah turned to Suì-Fēng and stabbed her as well. Suì-Fēng groaned as black feathers grew from her body, but unlike Kyōraku, her feathers appeared only on her arms. Black wings formed where her forearms had been, and black scales covered her hands, turning them into claws. Her legs were similarly scaled, with talons for feet. Though her face remained human, her black hair reached her back, her skin lightened, and her ears became long and pointy. Her shihakushō was mostly intact.
"The males are known as garudas, while the females are called harpies," Naamah explained. "They are faster, stronger fighters who rely on their powerful bodies, sharp talons, claws, and human abilities."
"Would Suì-Fēng and Kyōraku retain their Shinigami powers?" Ichigo asked.
"They would need to adjust to their new bodies, but yes," Naamah confirmed. "Their mentality is slightly altered, though."
"What do you mean?" Ichigo asked.
"Well, their primary priority is to obey you as their master," Naamah began. Ichigo nodded in understanding. "Their second priority is to care for their flock."
"That doesn't sound too bad."
"Their last priority is to mate and produce strong offspring," Naamah added.
"Really?" Ichigo asked, surprised.
"Besides having formidable offensive abilities, they also possess strong seduction skills. They can release four different types of pheromones. The first makes the target more lustful. The second makes the garudas/harpies appear as the target's lover. The third makes the target willing to engage in sex with them. The fourth pheromone drives the target into a beast-like state, only seeking sex."
"Do they stay here or get sent to a pocket dimension?" Ichigo asked.
"That is tied to Harab Serapel's other ability," Naamah replied. The blades turned back to silver. She walked over to Garuda Kyōraku and pointed the pommel ring at him. "Matjar [Store," she said. A spiraling void appeared, pulling Garuda Kyōraku inside.
"Harab Serapel's other ability allows you to store your garudas and harpies in a pocket dimension," Naamah explained. "Iitlaq [Release," She spoke the command again, and Garuda Kyōraku emerged from the spiral void. Harab Serapel disappeared. Ichigo snapped his fingers, destroying the clones.
"The eighth one is called Samael [Poison of God]." A pair of white gloves with toxic green lines from the fingertips to the knuckles materialized in Naamah's hands. "Samael can corrupt the life energy of anything it touches. Water becomes toxic, food turns poisonous, and Samael can passively affect food and water to increase infertility and cause miscarriages. It can also absorb this corruption to increase its potency," Naamah explained, as Samael vanished.
"The ninth one is called Gamaliel [Polluted of God]." A large oval mirror appeared, decorated with a beast's skull at the top, horns protruding from its sides. The mirror's ribcage-like frame made it float in the air. "Gamaliel can trap the target in a pocket dimension known as the Desolate. This world manifests their deepest fears and darkest thoughts, forcing them to experience their greatest fear over and over. If they overcome that, they are then subjected to the crushing of their dreams, endlessly tormented until their mind and soul are shattered." Naamah sent Gamaliel away.
"The tenth and final one is Nehemoth [Ghosts of the Night," Naamah said, as a scythe appeared in her hand. The blade seemed to be made from purple demonic energy, while the snath was crafted from bone-white wood. "When Nehemoth is activated, it passively releases energy that weakens the enemy. When you use Nehemoth to attack, it can slip through physical objects and directly assault the target's soul," she began. "Once Nehemoth latches onto the target's soul, you can forcibly rip it out of their body."
"Interesting. What else can Nehemoth do?" Ichigo asked.
"The blade and snath can adjust their size, providing greater versatility," Naamah explained, manipulating the size of Nehemoth.
"I see…" Ichigo said. Naamah sealed Nehemoth, returning their surroundings to normal. She walked over to Ichigo and kissed him on the lips.
"See you soon, my Master," Naamah said, before returning to Ichigo's mindscape. Ichigo allowed Jigoku no Yoroi to return as well.
"How do you feel?" Yhwach asked.
"I'm fine," Ichigo replied.
"Now, we still have Schrift I, K, and L to deal with," Yhwach said. Ichigo stood in thought, considering his options for those Schrifts.
"I have an idea for Schrift K," Ichigo said.
"Go ahead," Yhwach replied.
"Schrift K could allow me to control the concept of space," Ichigo suggested.
"Possible, but we'll need to tap into the Law of Space to make it work," Yhwach said.
"Alright," Ichigo said, as his eyes transformed into Tengan. "Hōgen." Ichigo could now see the Strings of Law. Yhwach handed him an empty schrift. Ichigo located the Strings of Law for the Law of Space and carefully fed them one at a time into the schrift, making sure the Trainer didn't collapse under the strain. He deactivated Hōgen once he was done. "I think it's ready."
"You're right," Yhwach agreed, as he examined the schrift.
"I, Kurosaki Ichigo, bestow upon myself this schrift," Ichigo declared, pushing the schrift into his body. His eyes widened as he instantly understood how to manipulate space, as well as prevent others from doing so.
"Are you all right?" Yhwach asked.
"I'm fine," Ichigo responded.
"Have you thought of a name yet?" Yhwach asked.
"I have," Ichigo said. "This is Schrift K: The Kūkan-Teki Shihai [Spatial Domination]."
"Do you think we should allow the other Schrifts to absorb other Strings of Law?" Yhwach asked.
"We could," Ichigo began, "but it would require us to go to the real world, not inside the Trainer."
"And we were able to do it with Schrift K: The Kūkan-Teki Shihai because the Trainer is a manipulable pocket dimension," Yhwach deduced.
"Correct," Ichigo confirmed.
"Now we need to finish thinking of a Schrift L and then we can reevaluate Schrift R and Schrift P," Yhwach said.
"Hm…" Ichigo began, mulling over what Schrift L could be.
"Hm… what about Schrift L: The Luminous Liberator?" Azrael suggested, reappearing.
"Elaborate," Yhwach prompted.
"This schrift would allow you to store, manipulate, create, absorb, and recover using any form of light, including all types of electromagnetic radiation," Azrael explained.
"All right," Ichigo said.
"I, Kurosaki Ichigo, bestow upon myself this schrift," Ichigo said, pushing the schrift into his body. He felt all the sunlight within the Trainer rush toward him, causing his body to glow golden. He sensed Schrift L forming a connection with Schrift S: The Sephira and Schrift T: The Taiyo. Ichigo ensured the Schrifts didn't merge. Soon, the process was complete, and Ichigo's body returned to normal.
"Good job, Ichigo. Do you need a break, or would you like to continue?" Yhwach asked.
"I'll take a break once we finish our discussion about Schrift I, Schrift P, and Schrift R," Ichigo replied.
"Good. I need to look over Schrift Z before I hand it to you," Yhwach said.
"Schrift I: The Imitator was created when we merged the former Schrift E and Schrift L, which contained copies of Suzumebachi and Katen Kyōkotsu," Ichigo said.
"Correct," Yhwach began. "But those copies have been destroyed, rendering the Schrift obsolete. I originally planned to suggest improving the Schrift, but then Schrift Q: The Qliphoth already has a stronger version of Schrift I: The Imitator. So, I want you to create a new Schrift I." Yhwach explained.
"What about something that allows me to control how energies harmonize?" Ichigo suggested.
Yhwach's eyes widened. "I can't believe I forgot that," he said, slapping his forehead. "Yes, we need something like that." He handed Ichigo the schrift.
"Your name will no longer be Schrift I: The Imitator, but you will now be called Schrift I: Impartial Impedimenta," Ichigo declared. Inside his mindscape, Schrift I glowed with energy as it began to transform. Schrift I formed connections with Schrift A: The Arashi Shōkanshi, Schrift E: The Earth, Schrift F: Fengári Neró [Moon Water, Schrift L: Luminous Liberator, Schrift Q: The Qliphoth, Schrift S: The Sephira, Schrift T: The Taiyō [Sun, Schrift U: The Umbra, and Schrift V: The Ventus. The transformation was completed soon after.
"Are you okay, Ichigo?" Yhwach asked.
"I am," Ichigo replied.
"The next one is Schrift R: The Rekishi [History, since Schrift S: The Sephira already has a similar ability," Yhwach said.
"Hm… what about the Reality Marble?" Ichigo suggested.
"So, you want to use it to manifest your chaotic inner world?" Yhwach asked.
"Kind of," Ichigo said. "I was thinking of creating multiple inner worlds, each based on one of the abilities I have," he explained.
"I can create the schrift now, and then we can create the inner world later," Yhwach suggested.
"Sure," Ichigo agreed. He closed his eyes and focused on Schrift R: The Rekishi. "Your name will no longer be Schrift R: The Rekishi, but you will now be called Schrift R: The Reality Marble," Ichigo declared. Inside his mindscape, Schrift R glowed with energy as it began to transform. Schrift R formed connections with Schrift K: The Kūkan-Teki Shihai, Schrift S: The Sephira, and Schrift T: The Taiyo. After a few moments, Schrift R completed its transformation.
"Are you okay, Ichigo?" Yhwach asked.
"I am," Ichigo replied.
"The last one is Schrift P: The Puppeteer," Yhwach began. "Despite being one of the early Schrifts created, you've rarely used it."
"Hm…" Ichigo said, thinking about Schrift P. "What about The Planter, which allows me to manipulate plants and indirectly control life energy?"
"Hm… that doesn't overlap with any of your other Schrifts. It would synergize well with Schrift E: The Earth, Schrift F: Fengári Neró [Moon Water, Schrift L: Luminous Liberator, and Schrift T: The Taiyō [Sun]."
"Your name will no longer be Schrift P: The Puppeteer, but you will now be called Schrift P: The Planter," Ichigo said. Inside his mindscape, Schrift P glowed with energy as it began to transform. The process didn't take long before it was complete.
"Go take a break. After that, we can resume our discussion," Yhwach said.
"Okay," Ichigo said as he left the Trainer.
Scene Change: Ichigo's Office
Ichigo appeared in his office, and immediately Shirayuki tightly hugged him.
"Kyōka told me what happened in there," she began. "Stop endangering yourself."
"Sorry," Ichigo apologized. Shirayuki sighed and let go of him.
"Go get something to eat. It's past midnight," she said. Ichigo nodded.
"Also, Zealot is outside your door, waiting for you," Shirayuki mentally told him. Ichigo silently nodded as he opened the door. Zealot was on her knees with her head down, praying to him.
"Rise," Ichigo whispered. Zealot silently and fluidly stood up. They headed to the dining room, where Sakuya was standing to the side with dinner prepared.
"Thank you, Sakuya," Ichigo said as he sat down.
"It's not a problem, Master," she replied.
"Ichigo," Artoria suddenly called.
"Yes, Artoria?" Ichigo responded, continuing to eat his dinner.
"Is it possible for you to send us Longinus?" Artoria asked.
"Why?" Ichigo replied. Artoria quickly summarized the situation regarding the Forest of Einnashe.
"I see… Give me one moment," Ichigo said as he cut the connection.
"What do you think, Azrael? Keter?" Ichigo asked.
"I don't know if I can go that far," Keter admitted.
"I might be able to go that far, but I need Jeanne to pray to us for help."
"Why?" Ichigo asked.
"When Longinus was first created by God, He placed a restriction on it, only someone who follows his teachings can properly wield it," Azrael explained.
"But I don't follow His teachings," Ichigo replied.
"Lord Jesus circumvented this restriction for you, but only for you by making you his honorary brother," Azrael added.
"I see…" Ichigo said. He reopened the connection to Artoria and added Jeanne. "Artoria," Ichigo said. "I can send you Longinus, but only Jeanne can wield it."
"Why?" Artoria and Jeanne asked.
"When Longinus was created, God placed a restriction on it: only someone who is a devoted follower of the Bible can wield it," Ichigo explained.
"But Ichigo, you're not a follower of the Bible," Jeanne pointed out.
"I am an exception since I saved Jesus and was declared His sworn brother," Ichigo said.
"WHAT!" Jeanne shouted in shock and awe.
"Anyways…" Artoria interjected. "How will you deliver Longinus?"
"Jeanne will need to go to the highest point in the Grand Kremlin Palace. Once you're there, you must kneel and pray to me and Longinus," Ichigo said.
"I will try," Jeanne replied.
"My Master, I ask for you to hear my cry. Below us, the wicked are polluting our lands. I ask for you to bless us with the blessed lance that has imbibed the Drops of God. I ask of you, my master, answer my cries," Jeanne prayed.
Ichigo summoned Longinus, which was surrounded by holy light. Zealot and Sakuya were startled by the unexpected summoning. Suddenly, Longinus disappeared in a flash of holy light.
"If I may ask, what was that about?" Sakuya asked.
"Jeanne and Artoria needed my help," Ichigo said as he resumed eating his dinner. Longinus returned to Ichigo after he finished his meal. He then sent Longinus back to his mindscape.
"My God, are you going to rest?" Zealot asked.
"No. I'll stay up a little longer," Ichigo replied. "You can go rest."
"Zealot will do as God instructed," Zealot said before disappearing. Ichigo returned to his office.
"Had a good dinner?" Shirayuki asked.
"I did," Ichigo replied. Shirayuki pointed the Trainer at Ichigo and sent him back inside.
Scene Change: Trainer
Ichigo appeared in front of Yhwach, who held the final schrift in his hand.
"Is that the last schrift?" Ichigo asked.
"It is," Yhwach said as he handed it to Ichigo.
"You're not going to share what this Schrift does?" Ichigo asked. Yhwach shook his head. Ichigo sighed as he accepted the schrift.
"I, Kurosaki Ichigo, bestow upon myself this schrift," Ichigo said as he pushed it into himself. Ichigo could feel Schrift Z connecting with all the other Schrifts as if they were one unified Schrift. Before he realized it, Ichigo opened his mouth and said one word.
"Vollständig."
Suddenly, all 25 other Schrifts activated at once. A massive explosion of energy erupted. Everything except for Yhwach was blown away. The energy finally subsided, revealing Ichigo.
Ichigo, who normally stood at 1.8 meters (6 feet), now stood at 2.5 meters (8.2 feet). He was clad in full black and gray armor, similar to the one he wore with Schrift U: The Umbra. However, the red gemstones were replaced with golden gemstones due to the influence of Schrift L: The Luminous Liberator. In the center of his breastplate, there was a clock engraved, reflecting the influence of Schrift C: The Chrónou Árchonta. Ichigo also wore the black skintight suit underneath the armor from Schrift X: The Xenomachina.
The gauntlets, originally part of the Umbra armor, had changed. The right gauntlet was from Schrift B: The Battle Booster, with five rings from Schrift J: The Jūko Uchūbiwa on his bicep. The left gauntlet was from Schrift D: The Diablo Divider, with the remaining five rings from Schrift J: The Jūko Uchūbiwa.
On Ichigo's back were six golden-white wings on his left side, while six black wings adorned his right side, likely due to the influence of Schrift S: The Sephira and Schrift Q: The Qliphoth. Ichigo could feel all the different energies present, harmonizing with his body due to Schrift I: Impartial Impedimenta.
"Schrift Z: The Zenith Zaphkiel," Ichigo said, his voice sounding much louder than usual.
"As you can experience, Schrift Z allows you to use all 25 Schrifts at once without any issue," Yhwach explained. "You might notice that some of your other Schrifts weren't able to manifest. You should summon them to ensure they're functioning properly."
"Um... Before you do that," Shirayuki suddenly interjected, "the Trainer is flashing a warning that reads, 'Warning. Planetary destruction levels of energy detected.'" Just then, Kyōka appeared inside the Trainer.
"Allow me to explain," Kyōka began. "After the Trainer malfunctioned, I added a warning that activates if energy levels capable of destroying the planet are detected, which seems to be the maximum threshold the Trainer can handle."
"I see..." Ichigo nodded in understanding.
"Is it possible for Ichigo to just summon the other Schrifts without using an attack?" Yhwach asked.
"Hm..." Kyōka summoned a tablet and reviewed the data. "It should be fine as long as he doesn't use them for an attack. I'll stay here to ensure the Trainer doesn't break."
"All right," Ichigo and Yhwach agreed. Ichigo extended his hand.
"Kusanagi no Tsurugi," Ichigo thought. The blade materialized in his hand, but now it appeared as a katana rather than a nodachi, though its length matched his new height. He returned Kusanagi no Tsurugi to his mindscape.
"Terrastorm," Ichigo thought. The Terrastorm manifested, now mounted on his right arm like an arm-mounted drill. Ichigo noticed the five rings on his right hand slipped to his left arm. A connection formed between Terrastorm and the Battle Booster gauntlet. He stabbed with the Terrastorm and found no issues.
"I wonder..." Ichigo thought, shifting the weapon. Terrastorm disappeared and reappeared in his left hand, with all ten rings now on his right arm. He could feel the connection between Terrastorm and Demonic Divide. After another test, he mused, "When did I become ambidextrous?"
"That's my fault," Chishiki said. "I'm currently enhancing your body at the molecular level, which includes your nerves." Ichigo sent Terrastorm back.
"Nejibana," Ichigo thought. The trident materialized in his right hand, growing longer to match his new height. He sent Nejibana back. Skipping The Gate of Babylon, The Hakaimono [Destroyer, and The Kūkan-Teki Shihai, Ichigo continued.
"Mysteria," Ichigo thought. The staff materialized in his hand, now fully transformed. Mysteria resembled an upside-down sword, with a black wooden staff adorned with golden engravings of three dragons, two kitsunes, a phoenix, and a Thestral. At the top, a fan-like spread held a large Rainbow Moonstone surrounded by six smaller stones: Ruby (fire), Sapphire (water), Emerald (wind), Imperial Topaz (earth), Black Star Gemstone (darkness), and White Star Gemstone (light).
"Surprise!" Mysteria exclaimed. "Do you like my new form?"
"Is this permanent?" Ichigo asked, testing the staff with some practice strikes.
"Yes, it is," Mysteria admitted. "I thought you'd want a more versatile staff."
"Thank you," Ichigo said, kissing her.
"You're welcome," Mysteria replied, and both she and the guandao returned to his mindscape. Ichigo skipped over The Negate, The Oversoul, The Planter, and The Reality Marble.
"Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi," Ichigo thought. The blade appeared in his hand, now resembling a katana instead of a nodachi. He returned the sword.
"Sky Chaser," Ichigo thought. The bow materialized, mounted on his left arm. The sides of the bow folded down on Demonic Divide, compacting it. Ichigo raised his arm, and the bow unfolded into its full form. He returned Sky Chaser to his mindscape.
"Excalibur," Ichigo thought. Excalibur materialized, its blade growing to fit his larger form. He returned Excalibur to his mindscape.
"Revolution," Ichigo thought. Revolution appeared, its straps wrapping across his body, now enlarged to match his larger size. He returned Revolution. Ichigo sealed Schrift Z: The Zenith Zaphkiel.
"Ichigo, Yasaka, Akasha, and Gilgamesh have returned and need to speak with you," Shirayuki said.
"Good timing," Ichigo said as Yhwach and Kyōka returned to his mindscape. He left the mindscape and appeared in his office.
Scene Change: Ichigo's Office
"Thank you, Shirayuki," Ichigo said, pulling her into a hug. She soon returned to his mindscape. They began recounting what had transpired in Africa. During the conversation, Medea joined them in Ichigo's office. After they finished, Ichigo turned to Medea.
"How many people did we capture, not including the Shinigami or the Clones?" Ichigo asked.
"Currently, we have over 300 million people," Medea replied.
"That many?" Ichigo said, shocked. Akasha, Yasaka, and Gilgamesh exchanged glances, staring at Medea.
"I didn't realize we captured that many," Yasaka admitted.
"I have both King T'Challa and Nozomi Kujō who wish to speak to you," Medea said.
"I'll speak with King T'Challa first," Ichigo said. Medea opened a portal, allowing T'Challa to step through. During his time in the pocket dimension, Medea had given T'Challa a few potions to help him recover from starvation. He now appeared cleaner, and his muscle mass was slowly returning.
"Hello, King T'Challa," Ichigo said.
"Please, call me T'Challa," he said. "It's the least I can do for those who saved my life and liberated us from the Apostles."
"All right, T'Challa," Ichigo said. "I have a few questions for you."
"I'll answer them as best as I can," he replied.
"How were you able to resist the Apostles' powers?" Ichigo asked.
"When I took my father's place as king, I had to perform a ritual to our Panther Goddess, Bast. The goddess would judge us to see if we were worthy of the throne, and if we were, we'd receive a blessing. That blessing allowed me to resist their powers for all this time."
"I see... Were you able to recognize anyone among the people we captured?"
"I did," T'Challa answered.
"What do you want to do now?" Ichigo asked.
"I wish to return to Africa and rule," T'Challa admitted.
"I'm fine with that," Ichigo said. "Your nation will publicly align itself with Bloody Rose, Golden Sun, and Babylonia."
"That's fine," T'Challa said. "What's your plan for the people?"
"I'm currently developing a ritual to purge the Apostles' influence from them," Medea explained.
"But that won't restore their original memories," T'Challa pointed out.
"That's where you come in," Medea said. "I'd like to use your memories to help restore as much as I can."
"How long will it take?" he asked.
"It will take me about a month," Medea answered.
"That's too long," T'Challa said. Ichigo pulled out his Trainer and handed it to Medea.
"This device functions similarly to the pocket dimension, but with much greater time dilation. You'll have enough time to alter their memories and observe them carefully," Ichigo explained.
"I see…" T'Challa said. "Then please help us," he said, bowing to Ichigo.
"No need to bow, T'Challa," Ichigo reassured him. "We are allies."
"Have you considered a new Guild Name?" Ichigo asked.
"I have," T'Challa said. "It will be called Wakanda, in honor of my people and my home."
"Was Wakanda a magical settlement?" Ichigo inquired.
"It was," T'Challa admitted. "Wakanda was surrounded by large mountain ranges and a thick jungle, which isolated us from the rest of the world. We took everything we could from the nearby colonies to advance our nation."
"I see…" Ichigo said.
"Do you have any more questions for me?" T'Challa asked.
"I don't," Ichigo answered. He sent T'Challa and Medea inside the Trainer and handed it to Akasha.
"I will take care of them," Akasha said. Nozomi Kujō was teleported out.
"Thank you for willing to see me, King of Souls," Nozomi greeted, bowing to Ichigo.
"Please rise," Ichigo said. Nozomi stood up. "So, what do you wish to ask me about?"
"What will happen to everyone?" she asked.
"You mean you, Kagerōza Inaba, the Tsunayashiro Clan, and the Shinigami clones?" Ichigo asked. Nozomi nodded. "First, I will execute Tokinada Tsunayashiro for his crimes and have the Gotei 14 deal with the rest of the Tsunayashiro Clan."
"I see... What about Kagerōza Inaba?" Nozomi asked.
"Well, we have two options for him," Ichigo began. "The first is to hand him over to the Gotei 14." Nozomi nodded. "The other option is for you to fuse with Kagerōza Inaba, becoming the dominant personality, and then take charge of the clones," Ichigo explained.
"You're not going to try to destroy us?" she asked.
"No," Ichigo replied. "I was once allied with a few mod souls." Ichigo thought back to Kon, Kurōdo, Noba, and Rinrin.
"What happened to them?" Nozomi asked.
"They're likely with their creator," Ichigo said.
"These mod souls weren't created by Kagerōza Inaba?" Nozomi asked.
"Maybe one of them?" Ichigo guessed, unsure who created Kon.
"I want to merge with him," Nozomi said.
"Very well," Ichigo said. "We'll do this afterward."
"Okay," Nozomi said. "Can I go back and inform the clones?"
"Go ahead," Ichigo said. Nozomi was teleported back to the pocket dimension. "Anything else?"
"What about the Apostles?" Gilgamesh asked.
"According to Medea's reports, the original deities placed fragments of their divine souls into spare gigais that Kagerōza Inaba stole. This allowed them to act without attracting the attention of other gods and goddesses. Based on what you told me, I have a general idea of who did this, and I will reach out to their respective pantheons after I deal with the Overlords," Ichigo explained.
"I see…" Gilgamesh said. "Can you hand me the bracelets?" Akasha and Yasaka removed their bracelets. Gilgamesh also removed hers. All three bracelets glowed golden and combined into one. She handed it to Ichigo.
"Thank you," Ichigo said as he put the bracelet on. "Anything else?"
Gilgamesh, Akasha, and Yasaka shook their heads. Ichigo gave them a quick kiss before he shunpō'ed away.
Scene Change: Southern Africa Headquarters
Ichigo appeared in the underground lab where Nozomi had been found. He released Nozomi and the unconscious Kagerōza.
"Do you know how to merge?" Ichigo asked.
"I don't," Nozomi admitted. Ichigo kneeled in front of Kagerōza and lifted his eyelid, revealing his eyeball.
"Legilimens," Ichigo mentally cast. He entered Kagerōza's mind and quickly found the necessary information for the fusion. He also discovered that Kagerōza feared Nozomi would develop independent thoughts and try to interfere after the merge. So, he had created a chemical designed to destroy her mind, leaving only her knowledge intact. Ichigo exited Kagerōza's mind and stood up.
"Were you able to find the process?" Nozomi asked.
"I did," Ichigo said, walking over to a cabinet and retrieving a syringe filled with green liquid.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Kagerōza feared you'd develop your own thoughts and influence him once you merged," Ichigo said as he injected the green liquid into Kagerōza's arm. "This liquid will destroy the victim's mind while preserving their knowledge," he added, discreetly keeping a little of the solution behind in the syringe. Ichigo grabbed the now braindead Kagerōza and placed him inside a chamber. He walked to the terminal and pressed a button. A glass screen rose, sealing Kagerōza inside the chamber. Pink breathable liquid began to fill the chamber.
"You should go into the other chamber," Ichigo said. Nozomi walked into the other chamber. "Remember, your desire to live and absorb everything from Kagerōza," Ichigo added.
"I will remember," Nozomi said. Ichigo pressed another button. A glass screen rose, sealing her inside the chamber. Pink liquid began to fill the chamber. Nozomi closed her eyes as she was submerged in the liquid. Ichigo could sense both Nozomi and Kagerōza beginning to disintegrate into reishi. The pink liquid kept the disintegrated reishi contained. Once their bodies had fully disintegrated, vents at the bottom of the chambers opened, draining the liquid into another chamber. The newly filled chamber began to glow with pink energy, reassembling their bodies. Ichigo immediately noticed the shape of the body was feminine. He quickly transfigured a set of Shihakushō for her. Soon, the fusion was complete. Ichigo could tell that most of her physical features resembled Nozomi, though her overall body had grown slightly. Her dark green hair reached her shoulders. Ichigo glanced at the terminal, and it showed the fusion was done. He pressed a few buttons, releasing Nozomi from the chamber. He created a large towel for her.
"Thank you," she said, taking the towel and beginning to dry herself.
"I left some clothes at the terminal," Ichigo said as he stepped outside the lab. Suddenly, Nozomi's face flushed as she realized Ichigo had seen her naked. Her analytical mind quickly calmed her down as she recognized it wasn't anyone's fault. Once fully dressed, she stepped out of the chamber.
"How do you feel?" Ichigo asked.
"Much stronger than before," Nozomi replied.
"Good to hear," Ichigo said. "What do you want to do with the other lab equipment?"
Nozomi glared at it.
"Destroy it. I don't want any more clones being created," she said.
"Very well," Ichigo said. He pointed his palms out and activated Schrift X: The Xenomachina. Black tentacles shot out from his palms, attaching themselves to the machines. The machines were covered in black energy and absorbed by Ichigo. Afterward, they found a breakroom to sit in.
"I forgot to ask, but what do you intend to do with the clones?" Nozomi asked.
"I'm not sure," Ichigo admitted. "According to the reports, all the clones are below fukutaichō level."
"According to Kagerōza's memories, he didn't have enough resources to increase the clones' power," she added.
"Here's my proposal," Ichigo decided. "You'll have two months to increase the clones' power."
Nozomi stood up.
"I accept," she said, bowing to Ichigo. Suddenly, she began to stumble. Ichigo quickly caught her and scanned her body.
"Seems like she's just tired," Ichigo concluded. He picked Nozomi up and carried her outside. Summoning his car, he placed her inside the passenger seat, securing her carefully before walking to the driver's side and driving back to the estate.
Scene Change: Ichigo's Estate
Ichigo drove out of the dimension tunnel and spotted Sayaka and Tier walking as he pulled up to the estate. He stopped the car in front of them and stepped out.
"Good morning, Ichigo-sama," Sakuya said, bowing to him.
"Good morning, Sakuya," Ichigo replied. He looked up and saw Tier was also there. "Morning, Tier," he said, leaning in to give her a quick kiss.
"Morning, Ichigo," she replied. "We just finished the operation. President Ellis will host a press conference to talk about it."
"Good," Ichigo said. He walked over and opened the passenger door, carefully picking Nozomi up. "Sakuya, please place her in a guest room."
"Yes, Ichigo-sama," Sakuya said, slipping her arms underneath Nozomi. Ichigo let go of her, and Sakuya carried Nozomi inside the house. Ichigo turned to Tier.
"Do you need anything else from me?" he asked.
"No," Tier said, letting out a yawn.
"Do you think you'll be fine in a few hours?" Ichigo asked.
"Why?" Tier asked.
"I want to call another inner and outer war council," Ichigo explained.
"I'll be there," Tier said, yawning again.
"Do you need my help?" Ichigo asked.
"No, I've got it," she replied as she staggered inside the estate.
"Akasha," Ichigo said through the peerage connection.
"Yes, Ichigo?" Akasha replied.
"I want you to arrange another inner war council meeting to discuss everything that happened earlier," Ichigo said.
"I was expecting this and have already messaged everyone," Akasha said.
"Thank you," Ichigo replied. "I'm going to take a quick nap. Wake me up when it's time."
"Okay," Akasha said.
Scene Change: Ichigo's Mindscape
Ichigo opened his eyes and let out a groan. In front of him sat Earth-sama, looking much healthier than before. She was on a couch, and they were in a recreation of his living room in Kuoh.
"I apologize for disturbing your rest," she said.
"It's all right," Ichigo replied, sitting down.
"I wanted to advise you that you should begin the invasion as soon as possible," she said.
"You believe the Overlord will sense his Apostle's death?" Ichigo guessed, remembering Fleur killing him in Russia.
"Correct," Earth said.
"And I assume you want me to kill that Overlord first?" Ichigo asked.
"Also correct," Earth replied. She took out seven vials filled with misty white liquid. "These are the memories containing the locations of the Seven Overlords. Use these memories in conjunction with a Garganta to reach them."
"Very well," Ichigo said as he stored the vials. "If the situation goes wrong, will you summon your Counter Force?"
"I will, if necessary," Earth replied.
"Have you informed Zeus, Jupiter, Odin, and Amaterasu about the traitors?" Ichigo asked.
"I have. They are currently imprisoned and will be dealt with once the Overlords have been dealt with," Earth replied. "Do you have any other questions?"
"Will there be any time distortion between our world and theirs?" Ichigo asked.
"As far as I can tell, no," Earth said. Ichigo sighed in relief. "Any other questions?"
Ichigo shook his head. "In that case, I'll let you actually fall asleep," Earth said as Ichigo's vision darkened.
Scene Change: Ichigo's Estate: Conference Room
Ichigo sat in the conference room with Yasaka, Artoria, Gilgamesh, Jeanne, Akua, Esdeath, Tier, and Hana. Rias, Percy, Annabeth, Quetzalcoatl, Chad, Reyna Ramírez-Arellano, and Magnus attended the meeting through a hologram.
"Thank you for completing your assigned missions," Ichigo began. "I called this meeting to inform you that I will begin the counter-invasion in two days." Everyone looked serious at his words. "I'm not certain how the Overlords will respond. The worst-case scenario would be they try to prematurely invade our planet through the dungeons."
"Should we tell the outer war council about this?" Percy asked.
"How will they respond?" Ichigo asked.
"They'll either deny it or ignore it," Reyna said. Annabeth sighed.
"It makes sense. When the Great Awakening happened, the American government tried their best to control the situation."
"I believe the best thing you can do is warn them and hope for the best," Ichigo said.
"Will you need anything from us?" Magnus asked.
"Defend your planet and try to survive," Ichigo said.
"What about the traitorous deities?" Gilgamesh asked.
"Traitorous deities?" Everyone except for Ichigo, Gilgamesh, Akasha, and Yasaka questioned.
"These traitors used part of their divine essence and fused it with soulless human bodies, creating demigod versions of themselves, which they called Apostles. From there, the Apostles captured all the African residents, had their old memories purged, and implanted new ones, telling them their purpose in life is to worship the Apostles."
"The Savior Guild was an elaborate lie," Annabeth realized.
"Exactly," Ichigo said.
"Is there any way we can help them?" Reyna asked.
"We could seek out Mnemosyne, the Goddess of Memories, and ask for her help?" Annabeth suggested.
"Would Mnemosyne really be willing to help us?" Ichigo asked. "After all, these people have no connection to the Greek or Roman pantheon."
"I… I don't know," Annabeth admitted.
"Anyways, we are slowly purging the implanted memories and replacing them with fake old memories."
"Fake old memories? Couldn't you restore the old ones?" Percy asked.
"If the victims had their memories suppressed, it would be possible to restore the old ones," Ichigo explained. "But instead, their memories have been wiped clean as if they drank from the River Lethe."
"Oh…" Percy said, now understanding the situation.
"Back to the part about fake old memories," Annabeth interjected.
"Deep inside the Savior Guild's Headquarters, we discovered a prisoner. He was the only one who survived with his original memories," Akasha said.
"It turns out he was blessed by an African goddess, allowing him to resist their efforts," Gilgamesh said.
"With his permission, we are using his memories to recreate fake memories for those he knows. As for the people he doesn't know, we're rewriting portions of their memories, making them orphans who were taken in," Ichigo said.
"You wouldn't happen to have a magic potion inside the Gates of Babylon that can fix this?"
"I do have a potion that can restore portions of forgotten memories, but nothing that can fully restore all their memories," Gilgamesh admitted.
"Anyways, the Apostles have been captured, and I was able to inform their respective Pantheons about the situation," Ichigo said. "I will not reveal the true identity of the Apostles or their respective Pantheons."
"Will our family members join us for the battle?" Rias asked.
"They will, once it has been determined that the contract has been broken," Ichigo replied. "Any other questions?" No one responded. "In that case, the meeting is adjourned."
Time Skip: Two Days Later
Ichigo sat in his throne room, glancing at his entire peerage and servants. All of them were decked out in armor, prepared for the impending invasion. Some would defend their base, while others would be deployed in Africa since T'Challa and his people were still recovering from the Apostles.
"Um… Ichigo-sama," Ichigo turned to Seekvaira and Don.
"Yes?" Ichigo replied.
"We've finished completing your machine," she said as she pulled out a remote and pressed a button. A large robot appeared in front of them, taking a knee to fit inside the throne room.
"Is this a modified God Gundam?" Ichigo asked.
"It is!" she exclaimed joyfully. "The Gundam's frame is slightly larger and bulkier to handle more of your power," Varia began to explain.
"We found that black is your main color, so we changed the majority of the white and all the blue of the Gundam to black (5)," Don added.
"The Gundam retains the standard Vulcan Guns and Machine Cannons, but instead of bullets, it fires energy bullets based on the energy you give it. This also applies to the Beam Swords," Varia continued.
"The most important thing is that you should be able to use any of your abilities with the Gundam," Don said.
"Is the Gundam still called God Gundam?" Ichigo asked.
"No, we decided to name it Tenkō Shugosha [Heavenly Steel Guardian," Seekvaria replied.
"What about the other equipment?" Ichigo asked.
"I have them as well," Varia said, pressing a button. Ten large chains, a large sword, a spiral drill spear, and a large robotic black arm appeared in front of Ichigo. "As you requested, the Chains of Rhodonite, Shirogane's sword, Bismuth's spear, and Kurogane's arm," Varia reported.
Ichigo snapped his fingers, sending everything into his mindscape. Don and Varia stepped back. Ichigo turned to face everyone.
"Today will be the final battle between us and the Overlords. At the end of the day, if we fail, the world will be doomed. I want you all to fight to your limits, but don't let your sense of honor or pride keep you in a losing battle." Ichigo turned to Don and Varia and nodded. They began to pass out wristbands.
"These wristbands are specially designed to track your heartbeat. The moment it flatlines, it will immediately teleport you to the Uzushio," Ichigo explained. He took a breath, focusing on Lord Emperor's Enlightened Pieces within him.
"I, your Lord Emperor, order you to accept and place the wristband on your wrist! I also order you not to modify the wristband to prevent it from doing its purpose!" Ichigo's voice echoed loudly throughout the throne room. Everyone placed the wristband on their wrists. Ichigo stopped focusing on the Lord Emperor's Enlightened Pieces.
"Now then," Ichigo began, his voice returning to normal. "It's time for me to go."
Ichigo exchanged hugs and kisses with his peerage members and hugs or handshakes with his servants and allies. Ichigo shifted into his soul form. He raised his arm and slashed down, opening a Garganta, and leaped inside.
Well, we're done with Arc 14 of Broken Dreams. I posted an updated stat sheet containing all the new information on it. Hope all of you enjoyed it. See you next month.
Author's notes:
Camael from Date a Live.
According to the Qliphoth, the 'highest' should be Thamiel/Thaumiel (Twins of God) and Naamah should be the lowest, but I like Naamah more. There is no clear-cut translation for Naamah but, in Date a Live, Nahemah (a Japanese version of Naamah) means Tyrant Ruler. This is verified since Nahemah refers to the 10th on Qliphoth, which is where Naamah is originally located.
Look up Tai Chi Saber on .
Look up God Gundam by HaganeF. Be careful of the NSFW work this artist also does.
Look up God Gundam Gaioh for a general idea of the color scheme.
