Echo Reincarnation Journey Through Multiverse - Chapter 38
Echo POV
I look at Arima then suddenly appear in front of Juuzo hit him with more force than usual, making him faint.
Right after Juuzo fall down, Arima arrived in front of me and attack me again.
Echo:” Now, it was just the two of us. We can talk without a hindrance, One-eyed King.” I said as I block his attack.
Arima:” How did you know? I know that you are quite close with Eto and Tatara but, I don’t think they will tell you anything about me.” he asks while dodging my string that tried to ensnare him.
Echo:” Haha, you can’t hide anything from me if I want to know about it. By the way, I know that you need a new successor. Why not take Kaneki with you and train him?” I answer him and dodge a spike that appear from the ground.
Arima:” Why don’t you take it? I know you’re also a half like me.” we take a distance from each other.
Echo:” Nah, it’s not my style. Besides I already to busy with my own organizations.” I said and attack him with Shinso which he blocks with his shield.
Arima:” I see, but I can’t take him as disciple since they will found out that he was a ghoul.” he said as he shot me with his gun-type Quinque.
Echo:” You don’t have to worry about that. I have a device that can hide the RC level. So, he can blend in.” I answer him.
While this exchange was done, I never let down my Observations Haki to watch the progress of the other and seeing that they already finish their objectives. I think it was time for us to left and while we are at it, lets get the father-daughter duo met.
Echo:” Its been a pŀėȧsurė to fight with you but, I think I have to end this dance here. Good bye!”
I told Arima then throw one of my knife that been engraved with my teleportation circle a la Hiraishin toward the location of Eto who watch this fight. I then move to Yoshimura side, holding him.
Echo:” We have been over stayed too long. Let’s leave.” I told him and activate the teleport, disappearing from our place.
The next time we appear, we are in the air right behind Eto who was watching the building.
Echo:” Now, it was time for overdue reunion and family talk. Please talk out all the opinion between you father-daughter duo. Hello, Tatara. Long-time no see!”
Tatara:” Hollow, why did you bring him here? You know Eto hated her father.”
Echo:” They say Hate and Love is the side of the same coin. She can hate him because she longs for his love. Let them talk their differences out this time so they can reach an understanding.”
Tatara:” Sigh, you can be so willful. So, how is your impression fighting our King?” he asks while looking at Eto and Yoshimura who is talking with each other with Eto asking for answers heatedly from Yoshimura.
Echo:” Hmmm, he is good. But not good enough to play on equal footing with me.” I said nonchalantly.
Tatara:” Who the hell can play on equal footing with you? You damn Monster.” Tatara said adding a curse in the end.
Echo:” Ahaha, you don’t have to compliment me.” I answer him with a laugh.
Tatara thought ‘who the hell is compliment you’ while his eyes twitching.
Tatara:” it seems they finish talking and this charade was about to end. That building will explode along with the CCG agent inside it. Did your comrades already out?” he ask.
Echo:” Yeah, that’s why we can be here. By the way, it seems that one of your officers got beat by his older sister and was forced to go with her.” I said while looking at the building that exploded taking the CCG agent with it.
Tatara:” Ayato? Is his sister one of your girls? Then I can understand his defeat.” Tatara guesses and nods at his own conjecture.
Echo:” Yeah, as expected of my girls they are badass. Well, let’s talk again later. We have to leave.” I told him and left with Yoshimura after I greet Eto on the way.

Echo:” So, his is the talk?”
Yoshimura:” It’s better than I expected. She forgives me and will come to Anteiku once in a while.” he said with a hint of a smile.
Echo:” I see, that’s good then.” I say to him and see the others waving at us at the meeting place.
As soon as we arrived, Kaneki suddenly does a dogeza in front of me. Asking me to trained him to become strong, Ayato also follows his example surprising me.
Echo:” Sorry, Kaneki but I can’t. Someone already stating his interest in making you his successor so I will just send you to him. As for you Ayato why not ask you nee-san? She was trained by me, it also can be used as your bonding time as a family.”
Kaneki:” Someone wants me to be his successor? Who is he? Is he strong?” hearing his question the others look at us wanting to know who I was talking about.
Echo:” Of course he is strong, if not i am not going to meet you go with him even if he begs for it. He is CCG number 1 the White Reaper. But, his other identity is the One-eyed King, the true Leaders of Aogiri tree.” I said shocking all who heard it.
All:” WHAT!!”
Nashiro:” Now, this is a twist. CCG’s strongest investigator is their own strongest enemy. Hahaha”
Kaneki:” Why is he taking an interest in me? I don’t think I have anything special that makes him take an interest in me.”
Echo:” Because he is the same as you, a half-ghoul. At first, he wants me to take his mantle. But I refused him since I’m not interested.” I said and he nods at me.
Touka:” But, is it okay? Won’t he be found out by the CCG that he is a ghouls?”
Echo:” Don’t worry about it. I have something that can hide that you are a ghoul if you wear it. By the way, you people. Don’t ever spread what you heard here. Is that understood?” I said this while looking at Shuu and Banjou group and they nod at me. After that, we left for home.

A few days after the 11th wards incident, the CCG start their propaganda about the danger of Ghouls they also start to recruit a massive number of people to be trained as an Investigators.
I send around 40 ghouls under me to the CCG as a spy and 20 humans under grandpa who we trained in secret were also send to infiltrate the CCG.
Kaneki was sent to meet with Arima. He then brought him to CCG headquarters and told the higher-ups that he was his disciples.
Now, three months after that incident. I along with Kuro, Shiro and Touka were in a meeting with Aogiri at our training ground. Touka only comes because Ayato insisted to come and she didn’t want to leave him alone.
Tatara:” Echo, the reason we came here is that we want to ask you for help. We know you have many strong ghouls under you and I want you to lend them to us for our raid to Cochlea to free the ghouls that were there. It will be better if you also come with us.”
Echo:” Okay, I will lend you some of my men. Around 15 should be enough since I also decided to participate in this to watch over them.” I thought ‘Well, it’s more that I fill the holes left by Kaneki. Now that he is a CCG agent earlier and it will be fun to fight with Kamishiro Matasaka.’
