Shirou's clones number 30 million

Liu Xiu paused for a moment, then said with a smile:

"However, I do not intend to reincarnate. I hope it will be something I can hold in my own hands, rather than something so distant that I have to risk my life to pursue it."

"If possible, I hope to regain my physical body and be reborn based on my current condition."

It turned out to be the case.

Roman Shilang seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed that, unlike Red A who had nothing, he had many things he couldn't bear to part with or let go of.

Even if one retains their memories after reincarnation, they will ultimately be different from their original self.

Red A had nothing, so he left without hesitation, but not everyone is as alone as he was.

Do you have any ideas?

"Well... let's figure out a way to get out of Valhalla first. No matter what my next plans are, this is the first step I have to take."

"That's true. But I remember that the Heroic Spirit's main body can't leave, right? Even if it's summoned by the Holy Grail War, what appears is just a clone?"

"Well... I have my own way of dealing with that. But I'm clueless about leaving Valhalla."

The beginning is always the hardest, and the first step is often the most difficult.

Ultimately, Valhalla is not a physical palace, nor can it be broken down by brute force.

If any of the Shirou present possessed exceptional time or space abilities, they might be able to escape using this opportunity.

Unfortunately, it only touched on a very small part at most.

Noticing that Liu Xiu didn't seem anxious at all, but instead maintained a smile, Aizen asked in surprise:

"If that's the case, why do you seem so unconcerned?"

"There's no need to rush, because the moment I entered here, I obtained the most important thing."

"what?"

"Growth potential".

Liu Xiu paused for a moment, then smiled and explained:

"Heroic spirits are beings who have long since died, having lost their bodies and their potential for growth."

"Abilities reach a fixed value at the moment of death and are difficult to grow again."

"Even a magic called Unlimited Blade Works, which is called Unlimited, is just a continuous enhancement of the original foundation."

"Or rather, this is just an improvement in skill level, while the strength itself remains unchanged."

"But now, although I am still a Heroic Spirit, I can transform into other people through the mimicry of slimes, and I can continue to increase my power on the basis of a Heroic Spirit."

"I have regained the growth potential that I had once lost."

It turned out to be the case.

Shirou gradually realized that the greatest advantage of humans over Heroic Spirits was that humans could continuously grow, while everything about Heroic Spirits was fixed at the moment of their death.

If heroic spirits could continue to grow, most living beings would likely choose to become heroic spirits, compared to humans with their short lifespans.

"There aren't many books to study in Valhalla. Would you like us to bring you some?" Slime Shirou said with a smile.

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

Compared to working in isolation, it's much faster to learn by reading books.

Liu Xiu smiled and then said:

"I am quite confident in my learning and innovation abilities. Those magic circles that summon heroic spirits are, in essence, just improved versions of ordinary summoning spells, and were also created by humans."

"With your knowledge supplementing my understanding, and after learning more related information, I will definitely be able to research an anti-summoning array."

"At that time, Valhalla will simply be a place I can come and go as I please."

Having regained his growth potential and having access to numerous books from various worlds, leaving Valhalla is only a matter of time.

Upon hearing this, Shirou, including Aizen, all had their eyes light up, thinking to themselves:

It's great to have another version of myself who loves learning; I can now enjoy it for free.

No one will resist becoming stronger, and no one will hate knowing more, but a boring and tedious study life is obviously not something everyone can stick to.

Since he enjoys learning, bring in more books so he can study.

He learns as if he were learning on his own, so even if he does nothing and just spends all day in the sun (like Aizen), he can still get stronger.

“I’ll bring in more books too. What kind of books do you like?” Aizen asked.

"Anything is fine. I can create hundreds of shadow clones and study tirelessly, without sleep. Even then, no amount of books would be enough." Liu Xiu paused, then smiled. "So, collect as many books as you can, the more the better."

"Oh...! That's what I've been waiting for." Slime Shirou said with a light laugh, "I'll do everything I can to bring all the books in the world here. I hope you won't be scared then."

"No, you should prepare as much as you can. My favorite thing to do when I was alive was to read. I just regret that resources were scarce back then and there were no books to read."

"Let's wait and see."

Slime Shiro naturally knew that Liu Xiu was not exaggerating.

Although he enjoys reading, he is not the kind of bookworm who just reads books without understanding them; on the contrary, he applies what he learns.

That's why he was able to achieve great things.

Although he benefited from those two meteor showers, putting aside the meteorites, his governance and military capabilities were among the best in the world.

......

"Destiny?"

Upon returning to Soul Society, Aizen muttered to himself.

This is one of Liu Xiu's passive skills, and also the strongest ability I shared with him.

Although he possessed abilities and treasures such as photographic memory and meteor showers, the strongest ability of the heroic spirit Liu Xiu was actually the one he had during his lifetime.

Destiny is in my hands—everything will automatically steer in my favor.

It sounds very simple, but the effect is exceptionally powerful.

"Isn't this pretty much what the main character's stats look like in most works?"

As I pondered, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly approached.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

As soon as Hinamori Momo entered the room, she hurriedly said:

"Captain Aizen, I just received the latest notification from the Commander-in-Chief. It says that there have been Hollow riots in many parts of the world. After we capture Rukia Kuchiki, we are to stay in the world to continue our investigation and clean up the Hollows."

"I asked the Shinigami who delivered the message how Rukia was handled, and he said that the Captain-Commander just smiled and didn't say anything."

"Captain Aizen, what exactly does this mean?"

Aizen looked thoughtfully at Hinamori Momo, then smiled and explained:

"It's very simple. We can decide for ourselves. For example, we can send someone to escort Rukia back to the 13th Division for processing, or hand her over to the Central 46. Alternatively, we can let her stay in the mortal world to atone for her crimes."

Has the Destiny Skill taken effect so quickly?

"Huh...? No way? Why is the Captain-Commander giving Captain Aizen so much autonomy?" Hinamori Momo asked, her face full of doubt. "If that's the case, why were Captain Ukitake and Captain Kuchiki arguing so fiercely during their meeting?"

"Because, in the eyes of me and the Captain-Commander, this is just a trivial matter. But in the eyes of Captain Kuchiki and Captain Ukitake, it is the most important matter, equivalent to their lives."

"Huh...? This..."

Was it really just a small matter?

"I...I thought Rukia was facing a life-or-death crisis, but it turns out that's what happened."

“That’s how it is.” Aizen smiled. “To me and the Captain-Commander, Rukia is just an ordinary Shinigami. Even if she died in some alley on the street, we would probably just sigh.”

"She transferred the power of death to humans, which violated the rules, but as long as no one makes a fuss, no one will care."

"Captain Kuchiki and Captain Ukitake are only blinded by their own involvement because they care too much about this matter and Rukia."

Hinamori Momo let out a long sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"I see. I thought I might bring Rukia back to be executed by my own hands. I was scared until just now."

"Someone I know might die at my hands."

"Since it's just a small matter that we can handle ourselves, then...that's great."

Chapter 272 The Nightmare of Endless Reincarnation

Chapter 272, Section 273: The Nightmare of Endless Reincarnation

The present world.

As evening approached, on his way home, Ichigo Kurosaki suddenly heard a slightly familiar scream and immediately rushed over.

"Ishida? What happened?"

What could possibly make Uryu Ishida, who's always showing off, let out such a scream? Could he be some kind of incredible Hollow?

As he crossed the street corner, the scene that came into view instantly enraged him.

Rukia stood trembling under the streetlight, her head bowed; Uryu Ishida knelt on the ground, his expression blank, his face covered in tears mixed with snot.

Beside the two, two people dressed in Shinigami uniforms stood there leisurely.

Ichigo Kurosaki glanced at him briefly, his gaze passing over the somewhat weak-looking female Shinigami and settling on the face of the male Shinigami wearing glasses.

"Is it you? The culprit who turned Ishida and Rukia into this?"

"Don't say that... I didn't do anything, I just let him have a dream. As for Rukia, I haven't had a chance to do anything yet."

Originally, Aizen planned to spend two days in the human world before returning to work.

However, with the Hollows causing chaos in the human world, the Captain-Commander's assigned mission changed, and the plan naturally had to be changed as well.

However, before he could even greet Rukia or announce his punishment, Ishida Uryu had already drawn his attention from the other side.

He declared that he hated Death and was determined to teach him a lesson.

People who can't see the difference in strength and have foul mouths are the type Aizen hates the most.
