Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 404 Another Solution
"Senior Mole City? Huh? Is he asleep?"

Luca maintained the posture of planting his Zanpakuto in the ground, calling out repeatedly to the air.

But it seemed as if all his efforts were in vain, as nothing changed in front of him.

"Okay, looks like you don't want to talk to me~"

After muttering something under his breath, Luca pulled his Zanpakuto back from the ground and shook his head with a hint of helplessness.

What he just did was certainly not talking to thin air.

In reality, the person he truly wanted to talk to was none other than the former captain of the 11th Division, the 8th Kenpachi, Souya Azashiro!
Since joining the 12th Division, Luca, who possesses the Zanpakuto's core key, certainly wouldn't waste his ability to 'read'.

This was both to familiarize myself with the use of the Zanpakuto and to analyze and understand information about various spirit items to aid my research.

Therefore, Luca often uses his Shikai ability to poke all sorts of strange and unusual things in places where others can't see him.

That's why Luca made his discovery.

When I was reading some of the information about the Seireitei buildings, I found that it contained not only information about the building's structure, but also occasionally a small number of Shinigami spirit particles that were perfectly integrated with the building.

This feeling is like when the Grim Reapers secretly added the corpse of a Grim Reaper to the 'cement' when they were building the Soul Society.

Luca, who already had a considerable understanding of the world of Bleach, naturally realized immediately who the owner of this spiritual particle was.

Souya Mochijo, also known as Kenpachi Mochijo.

A man who voluntarily accepted his sentence and was imprisoned in the deepest hell.

His Zanpakuto's Bankai ability is to fuse his own spiritual particles with those contained in other living or non-living things, and then manipulate them at will.

Even among all the diverse Zanpakuto, it is considered one of the most powerful and abnormal abilities.

In the original novel, this guy used his Bankai ability to fuse the spiritual particles in his body with the entire Seireitei building, and he never turned off this ability after learning Bankai.

Therefore, even though he was imprisoned in the Avici Hell, this guy was still able to know everything that happened in the Seireitei.

It was like a ghost possessing the Seireitei.

The reason Luca would reveal his knowledge of its existence is because Kenpachi, who is imprisoned in the Avici Hell, is one of the few people in the original work who successfully deciphered Aizen's Zanpakuto abilities.

While Aizen's Zanpakuto possesses powerful hypnotic abilities, it also has its weaknesses.

That is, if someone can touch the sword before the Mirror Flower Water Moon is activated, they can avoid being hypnotized and disturbed by it.

In the original work, Gin Ichimaru almost killed Aizen, who possessed the Hogyoku, based on this information.

Kenpachi Momoshiro, on the other hand, can integrate his spiritual energy into any object. As long as he chooses to integrate his spiritual energy into the air, he can ensure that he can touch the blade of Kyoka Suigetsu at all times.

Luca chose to make contact with the other party in order to try to understand the other party's Zanpakuto Bankai ability more deeply, so as to achieve a similar effect through other means.

Unfortunately, perhaps I was annoyed by the 'phone harassment' I had been giving myself recently.

Or perhaps it's because Luca didn't leave the Seireitei during this time, and therefore couldn't bring more outside information to Kenpachi Momoshiro.

Now this guy is just pretending to be dead and ignoring me.
Luca couldn't just run off to the depths of hell to drag his opponent out and forcefully discuss how to technically clone their Bankai ability.
Looks like I'll have to figure it out myself.

He glanced at the 'flesh spray' Mayuri Kurotsuchi had given him. 'What a pity. The liquid state makes it too unrealistic to actually touch Kyoka Suigetsu. And even if he could, the transformation would render him useless without any combat ability.'

Yes, the reason Luca wanted to improve it into a more dangerous gaseous transformation that was not very suitable for escaping or self-defense was that he wanted to rely on this ability to directly vaporize parts of his body during combat.

This allows it to spread within a certain range, achieving the goal of 'touching' the Mirror Flower Water Moon sword.

Now that he has confirmed that he has indeed been subjected to complete hypnosis and cognitive rewriting, Luca can only rely on this clumsy method to indirectly break the illusion of illusion unless he completely mechanizes his brain and uploads his consciousness.

'However, actually, it seems like Aizen and I don't have any deep-seated hatred between us~'

Thinking about this, Luca couldn't help but smile.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, apart from being tricked by the other side during that live-fire exercise, he and Aizen had no other conflicts.

The other party did not approach him again to recruit him or to eliminate this uncertain factor.

Luca now considers his opponent a potential adversary and is trying every possible way to counter his abilities.

Besides wanting to better integrate what he had learned, it was more like he was trying to find some fun in his boring team life.

'Hmm, maybe I can find an opportunity to attack Aizen's Hogyoku later~'

'However, to defeat Aizen, even if one truly breaks the Kyoka Suigetsu, one's own strength must also keep up. Aizen is no weakling who relies solely on the power of his Zanpakuto.'

On the contrary, while Kyoka Suigetsu was helpful in carrying out his various plans, it was actually a hindrance to Aizen in actual combat.

'The reason this guy is so skilled with Kido is probably partly because his Zanpakuto isn't a combat-type weapon, right?'

'If you gave him a Ryujin Jakka, or even a Hyōrinmaru...'

Thinking of this, Luca couldn't help but shudder, then patted his Zanpakuto's core key with a sense of satisfaction.

"You're the best~ You can handle both fighting and everyday life~"

After saying that, Luca directly plunged his knife into the 'meat flakes' sample in front of him.

The next moment, a flood of relevant information rushed into Luca's mind along the blade.

'Soul separation? Spirit cell dissolution? Mind-driven? Wow~ Captain Nie's thinking is as crazy as ever!'

'However, it turns out that restoration and reconstruction also require additional spiritual particle prosthetic construction equipment? This is somewhat similar to the nurturing technology used in Nemuro.'

'Sure enough, after achieving results in a multidisciplinary research project, similar solutions can always be found in subsequent works.'

He compared the information he had gathered in his mind with the experimental data that Mayuri Kurotsuchi had shared with him.

Luca, who already possessed considerable knowledge in other areas, quickly devised several promising ideas for improvement.

A night passed in the blink of an eye as I wrote and drew.

It wasn't until dawn, when the shielding force field set up in the room began to slowly dissipate due to the depletion of spiritual energy, that Luca was suddenly jolted awake from his deep contemplation.

"Holy crap, Renji and the others graduated today!"
