Legionnaire - Chapter 64

Third Person POV

As the howling winds screeched, in the serene desert, there remained a sort of bellowing tranquility, a contradiction of words, this was the perfect description for the mad beast streaking across the lonely desert.

Only to see another Beast, stop, then gather Reishi in its fingertips and fire a beam of Reishi so strong, it obliterated the canyons across the beast.

It was a behaviour so akeen to an intelligent mind, and its actions were a clear declaration.

No prey of mine can escape.

The Beast that was marked by the Greater one could only shiver, its mask unable to define the trepidation it felt.

But it knew, whatever was in store for it was not going to be pretty.

So it roared, bellowed and gathered Reishi above its Jaws, trying to be a Hero, or a cornered beast, anyway you see, it should at least brandish his claws against his predator and leave a few scars.

Only for the Greater Beast to stop and look at it in ridicule.

The Greater one was apathic, it had more better things to do than entertain a mindless creature.

So just when it felt like the Beast had gathered enough to warrant acknowledgement, all it saw was disdain.

So in a fit of rage, it unleashed what it felt was its strongest attack.

It was a beam of light, a Red Beam of light.

The beam of light it fired was vast and gave a sort of feeling of rage in it, bloodl.u.s.t was the correct term, but it also held the remnant of an unyielding madness.

But the Arrogant and Greater Beast did not move, he gazed at the beam and collapsed in it.

The Beast had achieved victory, but it felt like something was wrong.

Then it realised that the feeling of trepidation simply didn’t dissappear.

Like a blade held by a string on its head, it instead grew stronger.

“So you want to suffer ?”.

It was calm and emotionless and eerily disturbing, as if the question was only for itself to ponder on, and for others to try and understand.

Whoooosssshhhh.

In an instant the copious amounts of dust was cleared and what came to sight was a fist.

As the Beast saw the large fist, it dawned in its mind that the fist wasn’t large but that it was too close. By the time it had reacted to, the fist was already upon it.

The first hit sent him grazing through the desert, making the Beast fly away like a ragdoll in supersonic speeds. The entire ordeal was not visble to the n.a.k.e.d human eye and the only indication of the Beast getting hit, suddenly dissappearing from its initial position was a stretch of land, it was as if a farmer had ploughed the land stretching a few hundred meters for days and left it right there.

The Beast had taken the hit, and it wasn’t about to get up and take more. It understood it was outclassed, outmatched.

But just when the Beast had tried to get up, it was already pummeled down to the ground by the Greater Beast.

True to his words, he hit him so hard that his mask cracked, and the land around him caved by a hundred meter radius.

It was horrible.

More so because the Greater Beast just kept pummeling him. The fists that hit him had just enough force to crack his mask, pain him, but not enough to kill him.

As the one sided trashing ended, the Greater Beast simply put its palm forward in the Hollow of the Beasts torso.

It was only then that the Beast realise that the pummelling was just entry level punishment.

Because the next moment what it felt just wasn’t agonizing, it was soul crushing.

His memories flickered and it howled like a deranged animal, with every flicker of memory, being rearranged, remade, altered, the pain that came with the agonizing process of its body breaking down, being calm was the least of its concern.

Just when the Beast had begun struggling, its eyes lost its shine and the mask distorted.

Like dust in the wind, the Beasts body gradually started collapsing.

The Greater Beast then clenched his palms, leaving one finger free. As the Hollow collapsed bit by bit, all there remained was a ring on the finger of the Greater Beast.

“The first part is complete, now for the second !”.

MC POV

Now the second part is going to be a hassle, I don’t really know if a Hollow below the Menos Grande class can handle the rearranging of Data for a second time.

Well not to worry, I have lots of Hollows that I can refine, a few dissappearing is no big deal.

Its for the greater good. Pffft, lol I must take Coaching lessons from Dumbledore.

This was my third hunt and second time refining, both had ended in failure at the second refinement, its not that the process isn’t perfect, its just that Data wasn’t supposed to be manhandled so badly.

But the problem with refining bit by bit for me has always been willing participants.

I was trying this out with lower level Hollows, only because I wanted to see just how far I can go with Data Alteration of Reishi for those in lower levels, because to be honest, they lack purity by so much.

But it gave me the answer, that as purity grows, Data Storage increases by huge margins. So to say a 90% Reishi constituted could be more complex and stipulate amazing deeds than all others is a given fact.

I wanted better specimens to refine, but I seriously lacked the strength to do so.

What is the perfect specimen you ask ?.

Arrancar Class Hollows.

How stupidly strong are they ?. Well to be fair, very much and not by a margin of a few percentages, for an Adjucha like me, whole realms.

I wasn’t going to hunt them, at least for now, but I am pretty tempted to Alter Ulquiorra into a blade for me.

I mean who doesn’t, I wanted all the Arrancar that later turn into Espada, as the specimens for my Corrupt Asauchi.

But that event is too far away from the present and at present, there is only one Arrancar for me to hunt.

But success is hard, remember how I said, inputing even one order is already being nice to the Data Alteration Technique applied on Reishi before its immediate dispersal.

Well I needed my blades to have Three.

The first is Transformation, as long as I will it and feed enough Reishi, I can make the Blade as I wish for it to be, a Ring, a Jewel or any other sort of Weapons, Armors, and accessory.

I wanted a weapon that was the ultimate Swiss Knife, but with enough and extremely complicated Laws as a bonus.

Which made my first two products break down in an instant. It was extremely disappointing, because they weren’t able to handle just 2+ refining.

Do you know what Gamers call that, either a God level or a Trash level weapon. I am perfectly sure mine qualifies as an Epic class only if the second is successful, only when the Third refinement is successful, will I call it God Class.

The Second Order can be malleable to fit my needs and d.e.s.i.r.es and it will also be the most used one.

The Third Order will possibly give my blades a Bankai, no Shikai though, because thats more than what even Arrancar Class Specimens can handle.

It will serve as a Fake Bankai, why, because I will decide it’s name, not wait for it to give it to me.

Also unlike real Bankai’s that give substantial boost in strength of Law Alteration and Complexity.

Mine will only become more Extreme and not have Complexity in Laws.

All Shinigami’s have a set ability in their Zanpakuto and it only becomes more complex after Bankai.

Like with Ichigo, his Shikai gives his blade an insane stat boost in Speed and Strength and allows it to attack with flying sword beams and waves.

But with its Bankai unleashed, he can now directly cut apart anything in existence, and the worser part is his attacks don’t heal easily.

His strongest feat to me was the tearing apart of Space in his Final Getsuga Tensho, which is seriously insane.

Because I consider Space as the Absolute Element. All other elements exist within it, even Time, and that little bitch was tearing it apart like it was some lady’s sunday clothes.

The perfect example of extremity would be Hakka No Togame, Rukia’s Bankai. Her Bankai takes freezing to extreme levels, to the point that the fabled Sub-Zero degree gets nearer.

Sub-Zero levels of coldness is not possible to wield, because by then all friction will cease to exist, and even a possible Space-Time freeze can be emulated.

Which without a strong enough body is simply trying to commit suicide.

When Time freezes, the world darkens, but when Space freezes, it simply shatters.

Don’t take the above statement as willy nilly words, when the fabric of Space shatters, it is never a good thing, but a Cataclysm of the highest order, even beyond that of the Big Bang.

Why does Space even shatter if its the Absolute Element ?.

Its not because its frozen, but because Space is always in a state of expansion and being static will make the other parts of the fabric, which is constantly expanding collide with it and collapse within itself.

Its like when a piece of paper is slightly heated in the middle and not burnt for a long while. It becomes brownish brittle and easily crumbles apart with the slightest force.

The same case applies here but instead of external force, its like the paper wanted to constantly expand by itself.

So without even trying Rukia, if she is willing to kill herself, can surely leave a huge and insurmountable dent in the three realms of Bleach.

Both Extremity and Complexity have their pros and cons. But I did not have a choice in this regard, I am pretty sure every Asauchi is monitored by Squad Zero.

Which makes stealing them and erasing the tracks a chore.

I was even more unwilling when I realised that my own reflection will fight and judge me and make me prove my worth.

To that I say ‘F.u.c.k That’.

I am not willing to ask a Blade to Judge my worth, because after all is said and done, it is still just a Tool.

Trying to prove my worth to it is like, trying to tell a Computer Program how well I did in life.

Not worth the effort and seriously f.u.c.k.i.n.g stupid.

Don’t believe people who say that they wield the Sword to protect others, thats just Hypocrisy, one of the highest in existence, because a Sword is made to kill, on the other hand a Shield is made to protect.

I am pretty sure, anyone with good intentions that wields the Sword will say its not to Protect but Deter and until your Heroes can say with conviction that a Sword isn’t meant to Protect, they aren’t real Swordsmen.

Just Phonies.

Not even the Excalibur was made to Protect, even with its Glorious Legends, it has still slain more than many can count.

Humans are like that, they attach their own will, belief and mind over concepts, even when its as simple as saying 2+2 = 4.

But anyways I was trying out the Second round of Data Alteration, and it was successful.

I wasn’t expecting that.

The Law or Order that I have added is ‘Addition’.

Addition allows me to Add Damage to my Blade, its a simple and concise Law. Wait until you see my Blade in its Fake Bankai.

This simple Law will make many f.u.c.k themselves up.

But to be fair, only when the Third Round of Data Alteration is successful, will this be a Blade worthy to stay with me.

After all a Blade’s worth is in how its wielder uses it, not in what it can do.

I mean Excalibur is probably more famous because King Arthur wielded it. King Arthur is not famed as an unknown King who wielded Excalibur.

Just as Prince Arisugawa Taruhito who is known to have once wielded a Muramasa Blade, and I only found out about this because I searched for it.

Its never Excalibur made Arthur renowned, as it is for Prince Arisugawa. Its always Excalibur was wielded by Arthur not Excalibur was once held by Arthur.

For Arisugawa its only because he once wielded the Murasama Blade that I came to know of him.

So I say, Blades don’t decide the worth of a Man, only a Man himself can do that, because only when he believes in himself will the World believe in him.

As many believed in Arthur and do so even after his untimely death.

Bet you didn’t know the part about Prince Arisugawa.
