Echo Reincarnation Journey Through Multiverse - Chapter 36
Third POV
Echo and the others watch as the CCG starts their operation and with that as a signal, they also go to infiltrated the building.
Their group was divided into three. Yomo with Nishio and Tsukiyama, Yoshimura with Echo, Touka with Kuro and Shiro.
Yomo group and Touka group go in together. They got separated in the middle with Yomo go to the basement where the jail is, while Touka group go to the other building to search for Kaneki.
Yoshimura and Echo stay and watch on the situation for a while before they go to intercept the first-class investigator that got in. Which is Yukinori Shinohara and Iwao Kuroiwa along with five rank 1 investigator with Amon Koutarou include.
When they arrived in front of the investigator Yoshimura already in his Owl form while Echo brings out both of his Quinque the gloves strings which he called Arachnid and the Katana one which he called Shinso according to the name of the sword he got inspired on when he created it.
Amon seeing Hollow in front of him getting mad and shout.
Amon:” HOLLOW!!! You must be the one that sends those three and kills Mado-san! Answer me!!”
Echo:” Hooo, the investigator of that time! You are right, I was the one who sends them. What’s wrong with that? He kills one of us, we kill him. It was as simple as that.”
Amon:” Shut up!!! Your very existence is evil. Your race kill people here and there and we are cleaning the earth from the likes of you!!”
Echo:” Evil? Hahaha, don’t be arrogant human! You people kill Pig, cows, chicken and many other life forms for you to eat and you never call yourself evil for it. Now when there is a predator that is above you in food chain, you call us evil?” Echo at this time thought ‘ Hohoho, it was fun playing the evil villain.’
Hearing Echo words, everyone at that place was shocked. Yoshimura includes since he knows that Echo was never eaten human meat and his personality change. When he looks at him, he found out that Echo was just acting and got into character of evil villain so he sighs.
Yoshimura:” Acts of taking are equally evil. We, from the moment of birth, continue to take: food, people that got involved with us, even our own flesh and blood. For as long as we live, we continue to slaughter, kill, take. Life is to constantly sin. Life is evil itself. I am aware of it, I am evil… and so are you all” after saying it Yoshimura got his Kakuja form at stage two which is bigger than before.
At this time Echo who was beside Yoshimura thought again ‘ Damn, that line was cool. Even when looking at the Anime I got a shiver when I hear it. Now, I hear it in front of the person itself it goes me a goosebump.’
After seeing Owl got bigger and ready to fight. Shinohara and Kuroiwa immediately activated their prototype Quinque ‘Arata’ and they are now covered in black armor with a red line here and there then readying their weapon.
Amon and the other four Rank one investigator was facing at Echo combat-ready.
Echo:” Well, it seems they underestimate me so much if they think that five ranks 1 investigator was able to fight me.”
Yoshimura:” Hohoho, even though you are stronger than me. They must think that I was stronger because of my history with them was longer.”
Echo:” Well, it was their misfortune then.”
Hearing that Owl was weaker than Hollow the investigator was shocked and before they rearrange that formation, Echo was already attacked them.
From the start when they bicker around Echo already spread his strings around without letting them see it. By the time he attacks, it was already too late. Except for Amon who already got acquaintance with Hollow weapon choice and Shinohara with Kuroiwa who has many combat experiences the other was already down but he didn’t kill them since Yoshimura didn’t want to kill any of them.
Amon seeing his comrades got defeated and thought that they died from it, got angry and rushed over at Echo recklessly only for him to be thrown back by Echo who attacks him with his Shinso which able to lengthen and shorten at his will at a fast pace. The thing that saved him was his instinct which told him to place his Quinque in front as a shield. But, the impact was strong, so he was incapacitated from the fight. That left Shinohara and Kuroiwa.
Echo:” Now, it was a surprise! Didn’t think that you would be her, the Undefeated Investigator, the White Reaper, Arima Kisho.”
Shinohara:” Arima! It’s good that you are here. We will leave Hollow to you, we heard that he was stronger than Owl.” Shinohara sigh in relief when he sees Arima as back up.
Arima:” Shinohara-san, Kuroiwa-san leave him to me then.” he said taking out his two Quinque.
???:” Arere, why are this people sleep here? Shinohara-san, are you in a pinch? Should I help?”
Shinohara:” Suzuya! How come you are here? What happens to the other ghouls?”
Suzuya:” The other? I kill them, then I thought I will find something interesting here. So I come.”
Echo:” Now, this is quite a pinch. But, it will be fun too!” Echo said as he looks forward to fighting both Arima and Juuzo.
Arima who was observing Echo ever since he arrives, change his Quinque mode to look like a gun then shoot him a blast of electricity from it.
Echo sees this dodge his attack, only for Juuzo to suddenly appear behind him and attack him with knives. Echo stops his attack by wrapping his hand with his Strings. When he was about to pull it to cut his hand, Arima was already in front of him with one of his Quinque in shield mode while the other lance mode then bashes him with the shield, it gives Juuzo times to get out of his Strings.
Seeing there is no place to dodge, Echo jumps up only for Arima to shoot him with his Quinque gun mode which he switches a fast pace. Echo uses Geppo to dodge then he takes Shinso out and attack at Arima who parries it with his shield. Echo then take distance as he was aware of Juuzo lurking around ready to strike.
Echo:” Well, did the two of you train for this? Your combo is too good, it makes me sweat a little.” Echo tried to joke around only to be answered with silence from Arima.
Echo:” Well, it’s not fun fighting someone who is not reacting to my taunt. Then, let’s start round two. One-eyed King!” Echo said the last sentence with a technique so that only Arima heard it.
Only after hearing this there is a reaction from Arima if you look at his widening eyes as he looks around to see if the other heard it, only to see that the others did not pay attention to them. He looks back at Echo and starts to get serious.

With Yoshimura, he also struggles a little when fighting with Shinohara and Kuroiwa. His age was catching up to him as he can’t fight as used to. He also taking care as not to accidentally kill the both of them.
Shinohara and Kuroiwa were now taking a breather when Owl did not attack them as they found out that owl only attacks them in retaliation of their attack and did not initiate the attack himself.
They look at Arima and Juuzo fight with Hollow and was shocked by how fast the pace of their exchange blow. They also shocked to see that Hollow who was fighting both of them didn’t seem to be at a disadvantage. They even feel that he was having fun fighting them.
