Multiverse Skill System

Some whispered to themselves, while others watched the battlefield in silence, filled with anticipation for what was to come.

Three full minutes passed, and at this point, Kenpachi Zaraki's buildup was finally nearing its end. It wasn't that Yi Shuihan didn't give him time to continue, but rather that he himself couldn't continue; he couldn't accumulate any more power.

It's indescribable what kind of sword strike this was. It was simple, yet inexplicably complex; fast, yet clearly visible; violent yet serene. In short, there weren't many people present who could fully understand this sword strike.

"It seems he has grasped a smattering of swordsmanship, rather than just knowing that wielding a sword with both hands is stronger than with one hand, as he claimed."

Captain-Commander Yamamoto finally smiled, feeling satisfied with his foolish student, Kenpachi Zaraki.

"Therefore, never underestimate any enemy!"

As the one directly in the line of fire, Yi Shuihan felt it most acutely. This sword strike was ten times stronger than the previous one, even allowing Kenpachi Zaraki to fight against opponents of higher levels. Simply put, if Yi Shuihan were still using a single finger without any magical energy, he would not be bitten by a mosquito, but stung by a wasp.

Without being overconfident or choosing to dodge, he put his index and middle fingers together to form a sword finger and met Kenpachi Zaraki's Zanpakuto head-on. The sword finger shone with white light and was completely enveloped in celestial energy.

"Ding... Boom..."

First came a soft whistle of clashing swords, then a sudden gust of wind swept around Kenpachi Zaraki and Yi Shuihan.

The ground sank several feet as a result, and the buildings within a radius of several hundred meters around it vanished as if suddenly weathered away.

The Grim Reapers, who had long since retreated, and Aiolia and the others stared in disbelief at the impact of this attack, deeply shocked.

Chapter 746, The Gradually Clearer Thoughts

Don't underestimate this destruction. Even any Shinigami captain-level or even a Saint with a sixth sense could do it, but that would be in the outside world, not in this underground space.

This underground space is a completely different world, and it has a significant effect on suppressing strength. Outside, you might be able to blow up a mountain with a single punch, but here you'd be lucky to break a wall.

Therefore, if Yi Shuihan and Kenpachi Zaraki's battle had taken place outside, the resulting battle fluctuations would have been far more intense than they are now.

Of course, if they were actually fighting outside, they would control the area of ​​impact of the battle. This was not to prevent causing great damage to the surrounding area, but because the smaller the controlled area, the greater the damage they could inflict on the enemy.

Therefore, their true power was not revealed outwardly, but rather absorbed by their bodies.

"Just two fingers?"

Kenpachi Zaraki stared intently at the two fingers blocking his blade. This time, the shock was even greater than before. He couldn't imagine how much of a difference there was that allowed him to prepare for so long, and what could be considered the pinnacle of his Shinigami career, to be blocked so easily.

"Even Mr. Yamamoto might not be his match."

This thought was born in Kenpachi Zaraki's mind, and then he fell straight to the ground, unconscious. That attack had exhausted too much of his energy.

"team leader"

"Captain Zaraki!"

"Little Sword".

After the battle ended, the first to react were the Shinigami of the 11th Division, who quickly reached Kenpachi Zaraki in a few Shunpo.

After a brief examination, it was discovered that Kenpachi Zaraki was simply exhausted and had suffered from excessive mental depletion, which relieved them.

"Thank you!"

Kusajiro Yachiru walked up to Yi Shuihan and spoke in a serious tone, like a little adult. However, given her childlike appearance, it still felt a bit strange that she was saying this.

The reason she thanked Yi Shuihan was that she could tell that Yi Shuihan had shown mercy and given Kenpachi Zaraki a chance to demonstrate his strength.

"Take Captain Zaraki to the Fourth Division to recuperate!"

"Okay, Captain."

Unohana Retsu gave instructions to her former vice-captain.

Even after Kenpachi Zaraki was taken away, the atmosphere at the scene remained eerie. The Shinigami were completely stunned by the power displayed by Yi Shuihan and didn't know what to say for a moment. Aiolia and the others were no less shocked than the Shinigami. This time, it was even more shocking than the time when Yi Shuihan and Saga fought.

During his six months in Lushan, Yi Shuihan had recovered most of his strength. Although he was not at his peak, Yi Shuihan believed that even if a god of Athena's caliber came, he could fight her, and his chances of winning would be even greater.

Although Kenpachi Zaraki was powerful, he was ultimately limited to the Bronze level. If Yi Shuihan were to actually fight, he could easily crush him with his bare hands. Therefore, the victory was expected, and Yi Shuihan did not show any joy of victory. This expression of taking everything for granted made others even more respectful of Yi Shuihan.

"With him around, perhaps the problem of the void can be completely resolved, and Aizen will not be his match."

When Captain-Commander Yamamoto came to his senses, this thought suddenly arose in his mind, and once it appeared, it became unstoppable.

It made his heart flutter

"You're not going to make me pay compensation, are you? Let me make this clear first, I didn't start this fight, and the reason it turned out like this is mostly not my fault."

When Yi Shuihan spoke, everyone wondered what he was going to say! But after hearing his words, they were all stunned, never expecting that Yi Shuihan would care about this.

"That's natural. All the repair costs here will be charged to the Eleventh Division's account. So let's move on to another location."

Captain-Commander Yamamoto's words instantly set the tone for the matter, and the other Shinigami captains had no objections.

They arrived at a room much larger than the previous conference room, and there were seats in the room, so everyone took their seats.

The vice-captains of each division also came this time, standing behind their respective captains. They were not entitled to sit, but Aiolia and the others did have seats, since they were guests.

In order to ensure the smooth continuation of the talks, Yi Shuihan simply opened the Yin-Yang Eyes for Aiolia and the others, allowing their souls to return to their bodies.

If the Shinigami initially only treated Yi Shuihan and his group with great respect because of the Sanctuary, and didn't actually value them that much, and their attitude didn't change much even after seeing Aldebaran's strength enough to injure a Captain-level Shinigami, then this situation completely changed after Yi Shuihan's battle with Kenpachi Zaraki.

Yi Shuihan alone is enough to gain the friendship of the Grim Reaper faction. In Captain-Commander Yamamoto's heart, Yi Shuihan's importance is even greater than that of the Sanctuary. Only if the so-called god of the Sanctuary actually appears could he possibly be more important than Yi Shuihan in his heart.

"In our world..."

Captain-Commander Yamamoto slowly began to recount the situation of their world, the birth of Shinigami and Hollows, why they fought, and under what circumstances they suddenly descended upon this world, also explaining the characteristics of the main powerful Hollows at present.

"I see. A few months after Aizen's defection, they descended into this world along with the Seireitei, but not into other parts of Soul Society. Meanwhile, the Hollows descended into Las Noches and the Great Hollow Forest, but not into other places."

"At that time, Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi happened to be in Seireitei having a secret conversation with Yamamoto, which is why they also came to this world. Karakura Town is just an empty shell, and none of the people in it are here. The protagonist of this world, Ichigo Kurosaki, and the others did not come with them either."

As Captain-Commander Yamamoto continued his explanation, Yi Shuihan's thoughts became clearer and clearer.

Yi Shuihan didn't care about the Grim Reaper and the Void. If it weren't for sentimentality, he wouldn't have come to check on them. After all, their strength was too low. Even a random god in this world could probably wipe them out.

What truly concerned Yi Shuihan was why the Grim Reaper and the Void had suddenly descended. If it was all just an accident, that would be one thing, but if there was some force behind it all, then Yi Shuihan had to be careful. The ability to bring things from another world to another world was even more powerful than the system's ability to travel through time.

Chapter 747, The Nemesis of Illusory Dreams

When Captain-Commander Yamamoto revealed Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu ability, the Shinigami's expressions turned solemn, their eyes filled with deep worry, while Aiolia and the others were stunned.

"How can there be such a strange ability to completely control the other person's five senses, and permanently at that?"

"If we fall for his illusions, won't we never have a chance to defeat him?"

"That guy who used to be a Shinigami has now become the leader of a Hollow, it's really..."

Aiolia and the others had now truly broadened their horizons and were deeply wary of the so-called Espada and Aizen, who possessed incredible abilities. If it weren't for Yi Shuihan's presence, they felt they could have already packed up and headed back.

"I have a request, and I be sure you will grant it."

Suddenly, Captain-Commander Yamamoto spoke very solemnly to Yi Shuihan.

"Oh?"

He looked at the old man Yamamoto with great interest and said, "Tell me about it."

“You are very strong, and Aizen is no match for you. I hope that when we fight Aizen next time, you will hide in the shadows and launch a sneak attack on him. You have never seen his Shikai, so you are the best candidate.”

In the Hollow Realm, only Aizen made Yamamoto wary, and this wariness wasn't because Aizen was stronger than him. If Yamamoto really went berserk, he could have taken Aizen down with him. This was only because he was under the influence of Kyoka Suigetsu.

Without Aizen, Yamamoto could have single-handedly wiped out Hueco Mundo. His claim of being able to destroy an entire world by himself is not an exaggeration; he truly has that ability.

Yamamoto's suggestion also caught the attention of the other Shinigami captains. After a little thought, they all felt that this was a very good idea. With Yi Shuihan's strength, it was entirely possible to kill Aizen instantly with a sneak attack.

Even Kisuke Urahara, knowing that Aizen's strength might increase with the help of the Hogyoku, believed that Yi Shuihan was capable of killing Aizen.

The Grim Reaper's side looked at Yi Shuihan expectantly. Aiolia and the others thought about it and also felt that perhaps Yi Shuihan should agree. However...

"I reject."

"Okay, since you've agreed, let's discuss the details."

Old man Yamamoto seemed completely unprepared for Yi Shuihan's refusal, and blurted out those words instinctively, which made the atmosphere awkward.

“Old man, he just said ‘I refuse.’”

"Why would he refuse? Why would he refuse? Isn't it only right that he agrees?"

"Could he be one of their accomplices? They're clearly doing this to protect humanity from harm."

The Grim Reapers were furious at Yi Shuihan's refusal, glaring at him angrily and even turning their gazes toward Aiolia and the others into unfriendly ones.

"You can speak your mind directly."

Yamamoto's released spiritual pressure was far stronger than Kenpachi Zaraki's full-force release, and he hadn't even unleashed his Zanpakuto yet, which shows just how powerful he was.

Under his spiritual pressure, all the Shinigami fell silent and fought back with all their might.

Luckily, Aiolia and the others were sitting in chairs, otherwise they would definitely be kneeling now.

“Your idea is good and useful. To be honest, if I had agreed, Aizen would definitely be dead.”

After first affirming Yamamoto's method, Yi Shuihan changed the subject, "Unfortunately, I don't know how to do sneak attacks, and I'm not here to eliminate the Hollows this time, I'm just following them around. The main force is still them."

What does it matter to Yi Shuihan if they're just wandering around in Japan and don't cause trouble in China? Yi Shuihan thinks it's actually not bad.

Furthermore, it's ridiculous that Yi Shuihan would need to resort to sneak attacks to deal with Aizen.

"What a joke! You think these kids can be of any help?"

Honest man Ukitake actually got angry.

These words left Aiolia and the others somewhat embarrassed and angry, but they couldn't refute them. After all, they had already witnessed the strength of the Shinigami. If they were to deal with a Hollow or an Espada, they might be wiped out, not to mention Aizen, the leader of the Espada.

"You probably aren't familiar with Saint Seiya, right? Actually, Aizen's nemesis is the Saint Seiya, or more accurately, the Gold Saints."

Yi Shuihan's words left the Grim Reapers looking at each other in bewilderment, while Aiolia and the others seemed to be deep in thought.

The Saint Seiya training system is based on the Cosmo, starting with the five senses and progressing to the sixth and seventh senses. It can be said that the five senses become less important to the Saint Seiya as they progress.

The Seventh Sense is a necessary prerequisite for becoming a Gold Saint. Once a Saint awakens the Seventh Sense, Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu becomes completely ineffective.

Actually, even though Aiolia and the others currently possess the Sixth Sense, with proper training, they could basically ignore Kyoka Suigetsu and fight entirely based on their Sixth Sense. However, their Sixth Sense is still no match for Aizen. Even without Kyoka Suigetsu's abilities, Aizen's strength is still formidable.

"What do you mean by this?"

Yamamoto withdrew his spiritual pressure and asked.

"Aiolia, you explain this."

"Huh! Explain what?"

Looking at Yi Shuihan with a blank expression, well, Aiolia's intelligence is indeed insufficient. He only has a vague feeling, but he hasn't figured it out yet.

"Shaka, you should know him, right?"

Having no other choice, Yi Shuihan called upon Shaka.

Shaka nodded with his eyes closed, and then, under everyone's gaze, began to slowly recount about the Saints and the training of Cosmo.

When the Grim Reapers heard about the sixth and seventh senses, they all suddenly realized something.

"It's unbelievable that such a cultivation method exists."

"I've heard of the sixth sense, but I never imagined it could be cultivated. And what about the seventh sense? It's amazing."

"If what this person says is true, then Aizen's nemesis is indeed the Saint Seiya."

Knowing that Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu had found a nemesis, all the Shinigami breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can we learn this microcosm? We don't need to awaken the seventh sense. Even if it's just the sixth sense, I believe Aizen wouldn't be a threat."

Suddenly, Mayuri Kurotsuchi said that as a mad scientist, the appearance of a new cultivation system filled him with a desire to study it.

"You can try it."

Yi Shuihan said that Death Gods cannot cultivate their microcosm, even though they have lost their human bodies. After all, the souls of gods, such as Poseidon, can release their microcosm. In other words, the physical body is not a necessary condition for cultivating the microcosm.

Chapter 748, Team Up to Farm Void

Having obtained Yi Shuihan's consent, these Death Gods didn't stand on ceremony and immediately began to inquire about the cultivation methods of the Small Universe.

Yi Shuihan naturally wouldn't teach them one by one, so he simply handed the task over to Aiolia and the others. As a result, each young man had at least one student in front of him.

Getting started with the concept of "miniature universe" isn't very difficult. As long as you can understand it, you can get started in no time.

"In the beginning, all living things on this world, those stars, galaxies... even those hundreds of billions of nebulae in distant space and time, all of this was one. The universe was born from a single entity through the Big Bang billions of years ago, and humanity is also a series of microcosms born from that explosion! Forget everything else, imagine yourself as a complete universe..."

"...You do not have physical bodies, but you have spiritual bodies. Consider your spiritual bodies as microcosms, control them, and unleash their power."

It would have been rather strange to see young boys, only around ten years old, explaining cultivation techniques to death gods who were at least dozens of times their age. Yet, it seemed quite harmonious here.

The introductory training on the microcosm was quickly explained, and the Grim Reapers began to try it out.

"If they can really awaken their inner universe, that would be really interesting. They are souls, so reaching the seventh sense and comprehending life and death would be much simpler for them. In other words, it would be much easier for them to achieve the seventh sense than for ordinary humans. If we don't count the gods, they might be the strongest force on earth."
