Rebirth in Against the Gods with The Ultimate System - 102 Chapter 102
BOOM!!!
BOOM!!!
Various explosion and red lights occurred throughout the battlefield. As the lights travel, fires rose and burn the entire area filling the air with burn smell. It does not stop there, the red streak was fast and continued to attack areas where beast would dwell. A creature only thinks of destruction. A creature only destroys and destroys. A living nightmare for cultivators and creatures alike.
The Blue Dragon and the red haired girl simply looked with widen eyes as they observed the creature emerged from the ground causing massive destruction wherever it went.
“ROOOAARR!!!!”
The creature roared to the heavens provoking any creatures nearby. As these creatures have no fear, they simply attacked it without warning. Overwhelming it from time to time but it simply doesn’t work. The creature will always have ways to defeat them. The creature was none other than Hollowfied version of Yun Che. This time, Zangetsu or Hoyuu takes full possession of Yun Che’s body as it surpassed the three minutes’ initial timer. Hoyuu decided to use his powers to destroy these beasts in order to beat Yun Che’s bet. His body undergoes a full transformation into a Hollow creature shocking both Azure Dragon and Jasmine.
Suddenly, the hollow emerged from the ground creating shock-waves pushing the nearby beasts away. The hollow charged an energy blast through its hand before shooting it forming a massive red beam. The beam annihilated the beasts around it and piercing all of them in one single motion. Then, the hollow landed on a group of beast before producing a large cloud of smoke. As it slowly dissipates, the Dragon and Jasmine witness the full glory and form of this hollow. The tail behind its back was waving slowly in the air as it shouts another roar of intimidation and released massive dark red energy in the air.
This is the first time Yun Che’s body undergoes a full transformation. At first, the warning notification won’t stop ringing as Hoyuu donned his body with his hollow’s body. This body was his Adjuchas’s mode. His next stage of Hollow Evolution. However, this body only available to him once he defeated Hoyuu another fifty times and earned the rest of his affinity points. Since he wasn’t ready, Hoyuu took this form as his own.
When looked closely, his mask resembles a Human skull complete with a jaw joint and rounded forehead. The mask has dark red stripes on its left side. Behind the head, black hair growing longer and reached the waist of the hollow. Since Yun Che’s hair was black, it had the same color compared to Ichigo’s orange hair. When he looked closer, this Adjuchas Hollow mode of his is a white humanoid lizard with four spikes and red linings on each shoulder as well as grey fur around its wrists. The hollow form also had three-toed feets, sharp claws and a long massive tail, with black marks all over its noticeably more muscular body. Since the body was massive, it ripped apart Yun Che’s shihakushou and left only his hakama along with his strap belt. Like all hollows, this one also possessed a hole in the middle of its chest. A signature thing for all hollows. Moreover, it possessed reptilian eyes seen through the eye-holes on its full mask. Unlike normal Hollows, this form used an actual weapon.
One more thing that Jasmine saw was the Heavenly Wolf silhouette behind the hollow. It transformed to red when Hoyuu took over but it was different when he used the Adjuchas form. The Heavenly Wolf silhouette’s head was covered with some kind of mask. A hollow’s mask.
The hollow used Yun Che’s shikai mode Zangetsu as it slashed through a horde of beast like it was nothing. With every slash, more than ten beasts lost its life to it. Jasmine started to worried when this hollow took over him however Yun Che explained to her just now that Hoyuu was the one in control for ten minutes. It was the maximum time the system could offer. If it went beyond, things will get ugly.
The Azure Dragon on top of the tower suddenly spoke “What kind of god is this? This Dragon had lived for millions of years and this is the first time I witness such powers. How?… How in the world did he manipulate such massive demonic powers in his body?”
“Manipulate? This is also the first time this princess witness this form of his. This time, he is more like a demon compared to his masked form.” Jasmine heard about this form from him before but she never expect that she witness it with her own eyes today.
“Then, this Soul Reaper has the bloodline of the gods at the same time has the bloodline of the devils? Heavens!! Two heaven defying bloodlines exist in a single body? What kind of entity has the world brought?”
“Not the gods and devils from this world.” Jasmine suddenly spoke.
“Not from this world?” The dragon look at her with confused eyes.
“He said to this princess that he was from another world. An alternate world of the gods and devils. You can see for yourself that this ‘Devil’ is far stronger. I am sure you think this one is stronger than the Devils of the Primal Chaos Realm. In that body of his, exist the powers of the Death God along with the powers of the Evil God. Right now, he is manipulating the powers of the Hollow itself. Transforming his entire body into one but managed to retain his humanity. A god can turn this whole realm upside down. One day, he might hold the title God Emperor and Devil Emperor at the same time.” As she spoke, she predicts what kind of future Yun Che will attain.
“No wonder, this dragon really chose a correct successor this time but sometimes quite worried about that existence in his body.”
“Don’t worry, that existence exist for the sole purpose of protecting him. Right now, as I said before. He and that existence, are merely playing around with these beasts.”
Hearing her response, the Azure Dragon turned its head towards her. “You seem to know this existence well.”
“Can’t say I don’t. He annoys me from time to time.” Jasmine smirk remembering her times eith this so called existence.
Some of the beast managed to get around and land some slashing wounds all over its body. Suddenly, white foam suddenly emerged from the wound and heals it instantaneously. Jasmine was also shocked by this. It’s like Yun Che’s Status Recovery skill but this hollow can use it infinitely. This kind of regeneration is even faster than the Great Way of the Buddha itself but she didn’t see the later stages so she wouldn’t know. It means, if he was forced to a corner. This form will ensure his survival as it instantaneous heals his body.
[Ding…. Round 2 (Yun Che vs Hoyuu)
Yun Che: 9823
Hoyuu: 11562
Remaining beast: 77511
Time Remaining: 01.03
…
“Looks like you fell behind, King.” Hoyuu sounded in his mind.
“Bastard, you had the advantage of cero!!” Yun Che sounded in his own mind. He was conscious the entire time but he just couldn’t control his body. However, that doesn’t mean he can’t become a backseat driver.
“It’s one of my skill. You never said cero can’t be used.” Hoyuu shot him with a remark.
This is their second phase. At first, Hoyuu was rampaging using his original skill as well as using his version of Sky Wolf Slash. However, seeing the numbers didn’t make any difference. He decided to top it up a notch. When the first turn was over, Yun Che hid for a moment before killing the beast as little as possible to avoid Hoyuu gaining advantage later. This time, their second roundabout. It seems he utilized the next evolution of the hollow transformation thus increasing his powers and Cero capabilities.
[Ding… Second Phase is over.
[Ding…. Round 2 (Yun Che vs Hoyuu)
Yun Che: 9823
Hoyuu: 12789
Remaining beast: 77201
Time Remaining: 00.00 (Next Phase begins in 40 minutes.)
As the notification goes on. Hoyuu’s hollowfied body suddenly disintegrating into red and black energy. His mask, body and tail slowly turned into energy before dissipating leaving Yun Che’s body just like a removed possession. As the energy dissipating, he was left with only his hakama as the form destroyed most of his outfit. When he looked all over, his body returned to the state just like he and Retsu from before. Unlike Ichigo, he didn’t suffer any post effect after maintaining the form for a long period of time. Ichigo passed out the moment that form was removed from his body but for him, it’s like removing his mask and still stood there like it was nothing.
“Good luck beating my score, king.” Hoyuu taunted him before went quiet again.
“*Sigh, that guy. Even if I can beat him right now. There’s no way I can beat the capabilities of that Hollow form. Not to mention I can’t use it. Damn, what else can I do?” As he ponders to this matters, he didn’t noticed Jasmine spoke to him through the Tenteikura. Since he was still connected to her, she can talk with him anytime as long as he leave a strain of his kido on her.
“Looks like you were right about that guy leaving a trail of destruction.” She suddenly spoke.
“Yeah, that right. That’s his specialty. He always used some bizarre methods. Well, can’t blame him since the last time I let him out was a year ago. So, how was it?”
“How was what?” She asked while being confused.
“That’s your first time witness the initial full hollow form. Hope he didn’t scare you.”
“Hmph, this princess won’t be scared by such thing. Still, I am shocked seeing his true form.”
“Oh no, that’s not his true form. That form is far more powerful than this. If he used it, I think this realm will be destroyed in an instant.”
“Hmph, I don’t know how long it’ll take until I can gaze it.”
“It’s better that you don’t. That form might be powerful but I am not risking myself using it.”
Yun Che’c currently finding a place to hide to rest for a moment. Some of the beast managed to track him but killing them was a piece of cake. Despite they are stronger, he still had his Purgatory and Hollow’s mask. Something to back him up. “Damn, if I don’t find a way to increase my killings. That guy would beat me.”
Jasmine nodded in agreement. “Yeah, Getsuga Tenshou and Sky Wolf Slash might be powerful but those things can’t kill thousands at one time. You need something even more powerful.”
“But how? My kido arts, Evil God arts, haki all area of effect skills but I need more of a large scale based. Something can take out more than a thousand in one minute. Something….Hang on..” Yun Che widen his eyes as he remembered something.
“What is it?” She spoke after she heard the change in his voice.
Yun Che suddenly slammed his fist onto his palm just like someone who has a bright idea. “My other bloodline skill. Of course I can use it!!! Why didn’t I think about this before?”
“Bloodline skill?”
“Yeah, remember the red bow and arrow I used a while back? That’s it.”
“I thought that bow was created using your haki.”
“Guess, I didn’t tell you about this yet. Remember when I said Shinigami are Gods and Hollows are Devils?”
“Yeah, what about them?”
“Actually, the gods are divided into two factions. They are known Shinigami and Quincy. I did say something about this back then but never had the chance to explain it.”
Jasmine suddenly remembered about him saying something about Quincy back then. “Actually you did. I totally forgoy about it. Quincy? So you’re saying that inside your body right now has the bloodline of Shinigami and Quincy?”
“Yeah, So far, I haven’t tapped into my Quincy abilities and form just yet. The only thing I can draw is my Heilig Bogen.”
“Heilig Bogen?” Jasmine shook her head as another foreign language entered her mind.
Unaware that he accidentally used German on her, he explained “My bow, I called it ‘Heilig Bogen’ or ‘Holy Bow’”
She nodded in understanding. “So, this Quincy race. What are they?”
“I think I have to tell you later as this is not the best time for storytelling. Right now, your words trigger what I need to do right now.” Yun Che manifest his Kojaku on his right hand before storing Zangetsu back into his inner world. Since he empowered his cultivation with Purgatory, his bow manifest itself as a red bow compared to his usual aqua blue bow. Even his arrows transformed into red as well.
Then he continued,” When I used this a while back, I noticed this bow had the ability to evolve but it requires a kill count. So I stored it away until the right time. Never expected I totally forgot about it after this trial. If you didn’t remind me, I’ll lose the best chance of evolving it.”
“Kill count? So you need to destroy enemies at a certain number for it to evolve?”
“Not quite. Actually, I must destroy enemies using this bow.” Yun Che tapped the bow to show its status and its numbers kind of disappointed him.
[Ding….
Heilig Bogen First Stage (Kojaku)
The basic bow that is usable by all Quincy, it is formed by gathering Spirit Force and form it into the bow on the right hand. The arrows that it releases are also made of host’s Spirit Force. Currently host can fire two or three arrows simultaneously.
Requirement to initiate evolvement: 16/5000 kills using the Kojaku.
Arrows:
Heilig Pfeil (Holy Arrow): Currently each arrow consumes One Spirit Force point. No Spirit Force will be consumed if theres spirit particles in the air. The spirit particles will be used to replenish the arrows.
Moon Star Destruction Arrow: Depends on the Spirit Force used to power the arrow
Looking at his stats, he sighs again. Last time he used this bow was during the phoenix trial. He didn’t have the slightest thought of using it during the hollow’s invasion. If he did, this bow will be long evolve by then. Well, he did have a lot of weapons to use and sometimes long range weapons are easily forgotten. Holding his bow tightly on his right hand, he made a resolve to evolve this thing. The gap of him and Hoyuu was large so he needed to give his all.
“So, how many more to your next evolvement?”
“Well, not that much.”
“How many?”
“Another 4984 kills.”
“Not that much you say? Wow, you really ignored that poor bow. Why do you need to evolve it? You can just use the methods from before.”
“This thing is easier but I need to get it to the next stage. If that happens, Hoyuu will left in a dust.”
“Whatever it is you need to hurry up. Time’s ticking.”
“I noticed, toots.”
Yun Che jumped towards the air and began pulling his red bow forming a quincy arrow. Then, he released it into one of the beast before the arrow pierced it clean leaving nothing but spirit particles as it died.
“Damn, this might take a while. I really wish I could use my other skills but the kill count won’t go up if I did that.” He continued to jump around releasing arrow after arrow towards the beasts. More and more beast fell under his arrows as he suppressed his urge to go ‘Cowabunga’ on these beasts. For the sake of evolving this bow, he had to endure it.
“Try this on for size.” He immediately released the powered version of the arrow and it easily pierced more than one beast behind it. He even used the Moon Star Destruction Arrow to create more devastating effect. Good thing those kills actually counted.
[Ding… Kill count: 150/5000]
“Damn, it’s been a while since I felt the pressure of farming points under a time lock.” Yun Che tried to infuse haki to power the Moon Star Destruction Arrow but suddenly….
[Ding… Compatibility between host’s Moon Star Destruction Arrow and Evil God Third Art “Destroying Sky Decimating Earth”]
[Ding… Initiate fusion?]
“What the…. I know the Moon Star Destruction Arrow was originally Evil God’s power fused with Quincy but it detected compatibility? Lady luck is on my side today.” He pressed the button [Yes] awaiting the result of the fusion.
[Initiating Fusion]
[Fusion Successful]
[Ding… New Destruction Arrow created: Heaven and Earth Decimation Arrow. The empowered version of merging the Evil God third art and the host’s original created skill. This arrow carries the destruction capabilities of the host’s Evil God third art. However, it will use more Spirit Force compared to Moon Star Destruction Arrow. This arrow also required Haki for it to be successfully used.]
Seeing this arrow, he went excited nefore asking “System, how many Spirit Force points used if I used this arrow?”
[Ding, the arrow will use 1000 Spirit Force points. The points will increase if host wanted to empower the arrow. However, the consume points will be halve if spirit particles were present in the air. ]
“Che, the Moon Star Destruction Arrow used 500 points and even that tire me easily as if I continue to use it recklessly. 1000 points, that means I can use the arrow 70 times before ran out of Spirit Force.” Yun Che regained his bearings before pulling the line of his bow using Haki. All of a sudden, a dark red pulsing arrow suddenly formed between his pulling left hand and his holding right arm. Compared to the usual red Moon Star arrow, this one is completely black with pulsing red energy.
“Cool, I can feel the destruction capabilities of this arrow. Let’s test it. Show me what you got. Heaven and Earth Decimation Arrow.” He released the arrow causing the air around him contracts before created a circular distorted space as if he was firing a railgun. The arrow travelled towards the beasts creating a trench as well as piercing all the beast on its way. When the black arrow reaches the end of its trail….
BOOM!!!!
The arrow exploded taking the surrounding beast with it as well as caused some tremor from the distance. The shockwave was enough to throw him off balance for a moment. The system was right. It really does carry the power of the art itself. When he flew towards the sky, he saw the area where the arrow hit just now produced a large crater and the beast around it still dying from its after effect.
[Ding… Kill count: 362/5000]
Seeing the kill count, he was impressed. “Hmph, this might take a while after all.”
For the next two other turns. Hoyuu was still using the same Hollowfication method to deal with those monsters. He didn’t also forget to boast to Yun Che about his killings while the man himself was still stuck around a few thousands. While the man himself just endure it as he continued shooting his arrows to fill the kill count. As he shot the arrows, he’ll make sure to have the last laugh later on.
[Ding… Fourth Phase is over.
[Ding…. Round 4 (Yun Che vs Hoyuu)
Yun Che: 14223
Hoyuu: 35899
Remaining beast: 48201
Time Remaining: 00.00 (Next Phase begins in 10 minutes.)
“Yo, King. I feel like you’re throwing the game. This kind of match is boring though.”
“No, I am not. Have you ever heard the term “Comeback”?
“How do you expect to beat me after a gap that large?”
“Oh, I will. I just hope you won’t call me cheater. Tell you what, you can have the first turn and seal your final points.”
“Hoo, finally letting me win for some change. All right, I’ll accept. It’s not that you can beat me anyway. You bastard.”
“Oh, I don’t think I am sure about that.”
With that, Hoyuu pulls the same stunt causing mayhem after mayhem inside the realm. Since Hoyuu used his Adjuchas mode four times, Yun Che was able to get used to the body’s sensation as well as analyzing the form’s capabilities and weaknesses. Due to Hoyuu’s usage, He was kind of used to the body so he had no problems if he unlocked it in the future. As a Finale, Hoyuu shot a massive cero in a circular motion annihilating probably hundreds of Spirit Beast along the way.
[Ding… Final Phase begins.]
[Ding…. Round 5 (Yun Che vs Hoyuu)
Yun Che: 14223
Hoyuu: 45965
Remaining beast: 34811
Time Remaining: 00.00 (Next Phase begins in 1 minute)
Yun Che was transforming back to his shirtless and sexy self once more. As he was pondering, Hoyuu sounded in his mind. “Sorry, King. Looks like it’s my win. You don’t have to be sour about it.”
“I am not. By the way, leaving this much for me? Are you sure? You might regret this later.”
“Regret? Hahaha. You really like to joke around huh? With that gap, maybe I should do a victory dance.”
“Please don’t you’ll make me sick.”
“That’s the plan.”
Yun Che sighs before summoning his Kojaku with a smirk. He tapped the shining red bow displaying the kill count once more.
[Ding… Kill Count: 4760/5000]
Jasmine suddenly sounded in his mind “You sure you know what you’re doing?”
“Oh, don’t worry. That guy wants a beating? I’ll give him a beating.” He smirks for one more time before pulling another two arrows from his holy bow. He jumped towards the sky before releasing them into the distance. The two arrows were the new Heaven and Earth Decimating arrows. He can conjure more than one arrows so he decided to released them at the same time. The two arrows flew to the distance before landing on the group of beast causing a massive explosion in the distance. The explosions were large enough for him to seal the fate of the beasts as well as completing his plan.
[Ding… Kill Count: 5102/5000] – Kill Count achieved. Host has unlocked the ‘Kojaku’ Second Evolution.]
[Initiate Evolution?]
“Hell yeah!!!” He shouted.
[Ding… Evolution Initiated.]
Yun Che could feel his right arm was pulsing with energy flowing from his chest to his Kojaku. All of a sudden, the Kojaku went as bright as sun before slowly transforming. He had to cover his eyes with his remaining arm.
The Azure Dragon and Jasmine also attracted to the light in the distance. Both of them were actually looking forward to another surprise Yun Che had to offer. First one was the body of the Hollow. Then, that black arrow and now what? This one had been giving them a streak of surprises even a genius will be paled in comparison.
When the light dies down, Yun Che can see the bow he was holding shaped itself into a new one. Resembling more of pentacle with horizontal and vertical lines. The bow was complete. Usually a bow can be used vertically but this new bow of his can be used horizontally and vertically. There are even lines connected the two vertical points and horizontal points. All of them intersect at the same point making it the point where he can pull and released the arrows.
[Ding… Host has attained the Second Stage of Heilig Bogen (Holy Bow). The system has evolved the host’s Kojaku (Lone Sparrow) into Ginrei Kojaku (Lone Sparrow on a Silver Cliff). This bow has the ability to fire 1200 arrows per second. The signature technique of this bow ‘Licht Regen’ is now available. Next evolution: 0/100000 enemies using the Ginrei Kojaku.]
[Ding… Host can alter between Kojaku and Ginrei Kojaku for convenience.]
Yun Che was standing in his glory holding the Ginrei Kojaku on his right hand. Right now, he was actually speechless as he actually holds the Second Bow of Uryu Ishida. The bow that Ichigo himself called a ‘bug spray’.
Giving the bow a few toss. He shouted. “Hell yeah!! Now I need is a proper outfit. System, purchase ‘Quincy Formal’ outfit. Choose Ishida’s Quincy outfit during the Hueco Mundo Arc.”
[Ding.. Quincy formal outfit puchassed. Deducting 1000SP. Equip?]
“Meh, Beats wearing a destroyed shihakushou.” Yun Che pressed the button and his whole body was glowing once more. His destroyed Shihakushou was replaced with a Quincy formal outfit. When looked closely, he chose the outfit Ishida wore during the Hueco Mundo Arc. His body was donned with a white formal outfit with blue linings and white trousers. Compared to his usual Shinigami outfit, this time he wore a white, form-fitting, high-collared tunics. This outfit bear some resemblance both to Mandarin Chinese dress and to cassocks of Catholic priests. This gives him a distinctly “foreign” or “Western” style compared to the eastern Shinigami style. He is also wearing a pair of white shoes with blue linings as well. From the center of his tunic, a strap of gold ropes tied from his chest to his left shoulder. Same as his bow, the blue linings on his clothes also changes to red if he used his Evil God berserk arts. When he turned it off, it changes back to blue.
“Much better. Man, this outfit is really fitted. No wonder those quincy looked really cool. Too bad Ishida was the only one wearing them. Now that’s done.” Yun Che turned his head towards the approaching horde of beast. Upgrading his bow just now attracted a lot of beasts into his way.
He smirked for a moment before saying “Hey, Hoyuu. Still thinking I couldn’t beat you?”
“Heh, changing your bow doesn’t really change anything though. How can you beat my score with just five minutes left?”
“Well, open your eyes widely you asshat. Like I say, its my win.” As he said that, several flying beasts started to approach him.
Shuuu
Shuuu
Shuuu
The arrows instantly flew and pierced the beasts clean turned them into spirit particles. As he fired, he slowly said “It’s not like I am letting you win, Hoyuu. It’s just I already won. You just didn’t know it yet.”
“Bastard, how are you actually winning?” Hoyuu widen his eyes.
With that, Yun Che teleported towards the tower Jasmine was on. Solidifying his Spirit Force, he stood on the air overlooking the rest of the remaining beasts moving towards him.
“Like this.” Yun Che smirks before pointing his Ginrei Kojaku towards the hoarding beast before pulling the bow’s string. All of a sudden, not one or three but thousands and thousands of arrows shooting from the Ginrei Kojaku itself towards the remaining beasts.
“IMPOSSIBLE!!! HOW?!?!” The Azure Dragon shouted seeing thousands of arrows flying from the energy bow he created just now. Even Jasmine was shocked to the core. Usually he fired only one or two arrows but he fired a thousand? She looked at the newly acquired bow of his and saw that thing fired thousands of arrows. No wonder he was relaxed. No wonder he let Hoyuu gained a larger gap because he knew Hoyuu couldn’t even beat this method.
The thousands of arrows landed everywhere on the battlefield. It landed on the horde of beasts and decimating them like bugs and flies. One arrow doesn’t land on one beast but dozens of arrows flew and disintegrating them on the spot. It doesn’t stop there, the thousands and thousands of arrows flew from the bow and decimated the remaining beasts in one swift motion.
However, seeing the remaining beasts floating around as well as smaller ones hiding somewhere. He points up his newly acquired bow upwards before muttering something foreign.
The best thing was the arrows used Spiritual Particles as ammunition and this realm was filled with it. He didn’t have to use his own Spirit Force. As long as the reishi is in the air. His arrows will fire continuously without relying on his energy. The reishi from the dead beasts fuel the Ginrei Kojaku further by absorbing it and continued firing thousands and thousands of arrows towards the beasts.
“Licht Regen (Light Rain)”
He shot up the innumerable arrows to the sky and suddenly the sky was filled with countless numbers of arrows falling from the sky. It even hits the tower but it was separated from the realm including the Azure Dragon and Jasmine. However, both of them wore an expression as if they just seeing a monster when they saw thousands and thousands of arrows raining down from the heavens to the bottom. The sound of passing arrows was heard from everywhere as it hits and sweeps over the realm destroying anything. Be it monsters, trees and rocks, none of them weren’t spared by the arrows. The rain of arrows covers the ground turning the grounds around the tower into blue.
[Ding… Final Phase]
[Ding…. Round 5 (Yun Che vs Hoyuu)
Yun Che: 47034
Hoyuu: 45965
Remaining beast: 0
Time remaining: 03.23
[Ding….Congratulation Host for killing all 99999 in under 5 hours. Time remaining: 00.53.23]
[Ding…Ginrei Kojaku kill count: 34511/100000]
Yun Che brought the Ginrei Kojaku to his side as he stood by watching the two gawking expression from Jasmine and Azure Dragon before slowly saying…
“How’s that?” He said while showing a grin.
Both of them didn’t even say anything before a notification pops in front of him.
[Ding…. Triggering hidden objective…]
