You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

Considering that Hei Tong is the only relative she has left and she is not mentally stable, isn't it only natural for her to bring her sister to live with her?

It’s okay, I’ll take care of your teeth together, both sisters!

Why is Akagi angry? I don't understand.

And it would have been fine if he had just refused. In disappointment, Iori wanted to invite Esdeath to stay for a while to reward this great general who suppressed the disobedience in the four realms. However, Akame's reaction was even stronger, and murderous aura was about to overflow!

To be honest, Iori arrested her on the charge of "intending to kill the king", imprisoned her in the palace, no, in the cell, and tortured her. Then he tied up Kurome as well, right in front of Akame... Well, that's the dark side, which is not Iori's style.

Be gentle with girls!

Iori has always been a magnanimous person. He generously forgave Akahime's rudeness and even said that he would build a palace in the garden to wait for Akahime, and she could come and live there whenever she wanted.

As a result, Akame became shy and hesitant. She no longer refused so outright. She just said that she wanted to live a peaceful life with Kurome, and at the same time calm her mind and think carefully about her relationship with Iori.

The Holy Emperor of the New Empire was very generous and agreed to all the requests. Not only did he allow Chi Tong to decide freely when to come and go, he also specially allocated a sum of money for her to use as a resettlement fee. By the way, he also erased the names of the two sisters from the list of [Night Raid].

From then on, there was no more female killer wielding the demon sword Murasame in this world, only Akame, an ordinary girl who used the imperial weapon.

-

Being able to take time out from his busy government affairs to tease a black-haired girl relieves Iori's stress and makes him feel relaxed physically and mentally. However, as he continues to gain ground on the emotional battlefield, he must also consider the next problem:

flesh!

It's still the same old question. As a god of death, Iori is a pure spirit. He is invisible when he is active in the material world and can't even communicate normally with people.

Although the spirit can still interfere with matter, allowing him to move objects like ordinary people, and after being fully dressed, he can also communicate with people in the image of a "masked man", in theory it does not affect combat and the handling of affairs.

However, there are still many inconveniences. For example, when having in-depth communication with fully bonded characters or trying to unlock new CGs, you will encounter various problems.

First of all, the play of "Transparent World" is very disruptive. If you don't take off your clothes, it will be very troublesome. If you take off your clothes, you can't see them. If you take them halfway off, you will see the clothes hanging in the air and moving by themselves... It's very disruptive!

Secondly, although spirits can interfere physically and allow others to "feel" their existence, the touch, temperature, smell, sound... etc. are very different from those of the physical body!

The only advantage is that there is no need for contraception... After all, the gods of death can only marry and have children with the gods of death, and Akame is a living person. The life forms of both parties are different, so it is naturally impossible to give birth to a new individual.

But then again, Iori had never thought about contraception in the first place, and he just wanted to let nature take its course - he even felt that in-depth communication without the purpose of pregnancy was just hooliganism!

In short, you still need a physical body to unlock new bond CGs with Akame or other friends of the opposite sex!

However, in "Bleach" or "Akagi Kill", there is no means to allow the soul to directly transform into the body, but if you use a "prosthetic body", you will feel disgusted... After all, it is not your own body, and if you really use it, it will be like a sex toy.

After analyzing his current situation, Iori thought about it and it seemed that he could only find a solution in "Type-Moon".

In Type-Moon, the conversion, division, and combination of "spirit" and "flesh" are very common operations. Not to mention the Age of Gods, many magic tricks that can do this are also passed down in modern times.

Of course, the most perfect of them all is the "materialization of soul", which is the so-called [Third Law: Heaven's Cup].

This should be the most common type of "magic" in Type-Moon. Although the complete version has never appeared, various simplified and incomplete versions are very common.

For example, the Heroic Spirits (Servants) summoned in the Holy Grail War have bodies (spiritual bases) composed of pure magic power, but they can materialize and possess the properties of a physical body.

In other words, it is superior to ordinary bodies because it only needs magic power to exist, does not need to eat to survive, and will not age, get sick, or die. It even has no weaknesses in the biological sense except for the "spiritual core".

——Even sexual desire and appetite are retained!

The "Spiritual Base" of a Servant is an example of the materialization of the soul, but it is not a complete "Third Law", it is just a simple application.

The complete "Third Law" is to sublimate the soul itself into an eternal and immortal state based on the materialization of the soul. At this time, one can abandon the physical body and the magic circuits and directly extract magic power from the soul.

Because the soul is immortal, it is almost equivalent to a perpetual motion machine and possesses "almost infinite magic power"!

Heroic Spirits, Phantasmal Species, True Ancestors... There are many examples of "soul materialization" in the Type-Moon worldview.

There is even a "Servant Universe" in the FGO event plot, in which the setting is that all humans materialize their souls and sublimate their life forms into the worldview of servants... The combat power is extremely exaggerated!

In theory, it shouldn't be too difficult to obtain, especially for someone like Iori who is familiar with the plot.

After all, the Holy Grail is clearly placed in Fuyuki. As long as you can win the Holy Grail War, then both "Heroic Spirit Incarnation" and "Soul Materialization" will be very simple.

Even more, if you have a spirit of exploration, you can also delve deeper into the "Greater Holy Grail" itself, and by restoring the magic circuit of the Holy Maiden of Winter, learn the simplified version of the third method - the Grail of Heaven!

If you master the "third method", then not only your own soul can be elevated, but even the souls of others can be elevated!

In the original work, the long-cherished wish of the Einzbern family is to realize the "Third Law" to save all mankind.

This ideal is not false, because if the "third method" could really be used infinitely... it would be no different from being a savior.

This also has special meaning for Iori:

After learning the third method, he can bring people from other worlds like Esdeath and Akame to Soul Society in the form of spirits.

Then he can fulfill his promise to Esdeath, and also form a team for himself... It's impossible for Iori to work alone while others have the Espada, Sterncross, and the Gotei 13, right?

If you don't have any subordinates and have to do everything by yourself, that would be too uncool!

In the past, Iori was not strong enough and encountered a special world line called "Dark Reincarnation Version of FGO", so he had no intention of attacking Type-Moon for the time being.

But now that he has completed "Zanpakutō", his style value is steadily rising. His strength can be said to be very close to the captain level. If he relies on the special ability of his Zanpakutō, some captains may be defeated by him, such as the one with a number in his name and the same voice actor as Goetia~

I can't say anything else about Type-Moon, but you can still give it a try in the Holy Grail War of a normal scale. Even though you may not be able to defeat some of the guys who cheat, the Holy Grail War does not guarantee victory just by having the bigger fist.

And if things are impossible, Iori can just give up the game halfway. It's impossible for him to catch up to Soul Society anyway...

Even in combat, Iori only needs to exchange a few words with the opponent and buy a dozen seconds, which is enough to open the portal of time travel.

This is not difficult at all. After all, they are Type-Moon, and almost everyone is a chatterbox and a riddle teller...

After repeated thoughts, Iori should be able to escape unscathed unless he encounters an extremely dangerous emergency.

If you want to pursue power, how can you do it without taking any risks on this long road to becoming a strong person?

Okay, let’s prepare for the Type-Moon copy. It’s decided happily!

——Of course, before that, you have to adjust your condition to the best.

Cultivate your spiritual pressure to the current limit, learn the last few instant steps, master the use of Thunder Emperor's summons, and compete seriously with Saito to experience what it feels like to fight against a real strong man...

"Looks like we're going to be busy~"

Volume 90: Death Comes to the Holy Grail War: Chapter : What a great monster!

Clang!

Sparks of scorching iron bloom under the dark night sky.

There is no day and night cycle in Hueco Mundo. There is only a waning moon hanging in the sky at all times. Darkness and desolation are the eternal themes here. There is not a trace of heat in the cold desert.

However, today, two flashing figures broke the silence. Every time they crossed each other, the crisp collision sound would spread throughout the wilderness, and the brilliant sparks would be dazzling!

The members of the expeditionary force did not go on any missions today. Most of them gathered in this open area, holding their breath, their heartbeats accelerating, their eyes wide open, staring intently at the real sword fight a hundred meters away.

quick! too fast!

All the people present were experienced death gods who had survived brutal battles time and time again. It could be said that none of them were rookies. But even in the eyes of this group of people, the speed of the two warring parties was too amazing.

——Instant Step.

That is one of the basic skills of a genuine Shinigami. One must master Shunpo in order to graduate from the Maou Academy of Spiritual Arts. Only by proficiently applying Shunpo can a Shinigami move forward and backward freely in a dangerous battle.

However, most of the Shinigami's applications of Shunpo are limited to "raid" and "retreat", which are single-time Shunpo and difficult to release continuously.

Although Shunpo looks like "teleportation", it is actually not a space-related skill. Instead, it concentrates the spirit particles on the soles of the feet and explodes instantly, achieving a speed that is beyond the reach of the naked eye.

Yes, in essence it is still "high-speed movement" rather than "teleportation"!

Since it is moving at high speed, it will naturally cause a certain burden on the body, and the nerve reflexes of most Shinigami cannot keep up with the instant step. They cannot grasp the situation and launch an attack in the blink of an eye when the instant step ends. Some people cannot even control the landing point accurately. It is normal to have an error of one or two meters, so ordinary soldiers can only use it to avoid danger.

Only elites at the officer level can skillfully combine instant movement, white fighting and kendo to form a perfect surprise attack effect.

Because the soldiers of the expeditionary force have been fighting in Hueco Mundo for a long time and under the pressure of life and death, their Shunpo skills are better than the average level of Squadron 13. Even ordinary soldiers can accurately judge the landing point of Shunpo, or perform Shunpo continuously to cooperate with feint attacks, surprise attacks and other tactical actions.

But even so, they could only admire the battle before them!

The battle between Aizen Iori and Saito Fuuma, the Four Heavenly Kings and the captain of the expeditionary force, two people whose strength and status are not matched, was not as one-sided as expected, but rather it seemed that they were evenly matched!

Even though this "equally matched" scene had various limitations, such as neither of them released their Zanpakutō, nor used Kidō, and it was simply a simple competition of slashing techniques and shunpo... even so, it was already amazing enough.

It is worth mentioning that the two people competing seemed to be following some "rules of the game". They did not do much normal running and jumping throughout the whole process, and almost all tactical maneuvers were completed through instant steps.

Long-distance attacks, close-range thrusts, continuous small-range maneuvers, feints, and staggered turns…with only slashing and instant steps, no other means, they performed an extremely wonderful dance of blades with just these two techniques!

At the most intense moment, in front of everyone's eyes, there were even more than a dozen people fighting in different places...

Many soldiers who were quite confident in their own skills tried to put themselves on one side of the battle, and then sadly discovered that they had no hope at all and would be killed instantly. The gap was obvious and there was no suspense at all.

Even the Four Heavenly Kings, once immersed in it, could not help but break out in cold sweats, and felt exhausted after watching for too long... Only Tianbei Shusuke was still okay, but his face was extremely pale.

Perhaps because he is stronger, he sees more and more deeply, and thus recognizes the gap more clearly.

The Four Heavenly Kings were very sure that even if they released their Zanpakutō, they would still be no match for these two, even if they only used shallow attacks!

"Humph!"

Saito deliberately lowered his spiritual pressure at the beginning, trying his best to control it to a level similar to Iori's. His original intention was to avoid a situation where the strong bullied the weak. If Saito won, he had to win fairly and make Iori convinced.

She had a beautiful idea, thinking that even if she was restricted in many ways and could only engage in simple high-speed hand-to-hand combat, Iori would still not be her opponent and the outcome would be decided quickly.

But to her surprise, even though she had overestimated Iori's progress, she still miscalculated...

It wasn't that her judgment was wrong, but that Iori was too special.

Because of his Zanpakutō, even without the release of his real name, Iori can enter a "hollow" state when holding the sword, eliminating most of the emotional interference and concentrating on improving his insight, which is extremely beneficial in hand-to-hand combat.

——If it is released, the effect can be further enhanced, and even with the cooperation of the field, it can reach an effect similar to "predicting the future".

In terms of kendo alone, Saito is better than Iori, but in terms of nerve reaction and predictive ability, Iori has the advantage. Although he cannot defeat Saito, he is always as resilient as a green bamboo in the wind!

Swish!

The two of them crossed paths again. Saito did not disappear immediately as before. Instead, he stood still and split into five or six phantoms, swinging their Zanpakutō at Iori from different directions.

Iori was slightly startled, but in such a fierce battle, his mind was highly concentrated and his body reacted instinctively. In the blink of an eye, he keenly found a gap between the phantom positions and escaped Saito's stranglehold attack by transferring a long distance at the moment before being surrounded. Only after that did he flash a trace of palpitations.

"You're still early!"

But escaping the encirclement was not the end of the matter. Almost at the moment when Iori appeared, a strange shout came from above. When the boy raised his head, a cold reflection appeared in front of him. Saito held the knife in his backhand, with the tip pointing to the ground, and stabbed Iori like a razor.

knock!

The blade cut through the air, and the corners of her clothes flew off. Saito did not feel the actual sensation of cutting someone, and what was cut by her was only a set of light and fluttering Shinigami suit.

"Huh?!" A hint of astonishment flashed across Saito's only eye, and then turned into a look of relief.

This kind of high-level instant step technique is rare, but this is not the reason that makes her happy. What really moves her is that Iori can still calmly choose the correct response method in such a tense and sudden situation.

If you have learned advanced techniques, you can only be called a genius at best, but only if you know how to fight can you grow into a true strong man!

Zheng!

A fierce slash came from behind, and Saito had no time to turn around.

knock!

The uniquely shaped and simple long sword also failed to cut the entity. The torn white color was the captain's feather ornament that maintained the human form out of thin air.

Seeing this, Iori, who was holding the sword, looked slightly depressed:

"drink!"

Turn around, lower your waist, and turn your sword -

呲!

The sharp jade blade stopped and pointed at the enemy's throat, and a hint of chill passed through Iori's body, and the slender sword also stopped in front of him.

"...Kuchan, good!"

Saito took a deep breath and put away his sword. Iori also lowered his sword of Ame Murakumo as if relieved.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at it. Even in the Gotei 13, your shunpo skills are ranked in the top ten."

"Thank you for your guidance, Captain!" This time, Iori expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

His talent of [Perfect Death God] allowed him to learn everything quickly, but without Saito's instruction, he would never have been able to make this leap all at once.

Originally, the four basic skills of "cutting, punching and running away from ghosts" were quite balanced in him, but the ghost way was particularly outstanding because of the [Break Chant].

But now the proficiency of Shunpo may surpass Kidō, becoming the leader among the four~

And from now on, the slashing technique (insight and pre-reading), the ghost way (breaking the chant), the white fight (panel value), the instant step (taught by Saito himself)——

The four basic skills of the God of Death seem to have found a suitable path. Once on the right track, with Iori's talent, he will probably improve faster and faster!

"With this kind of speed, many captains would not be able to stop you if you wanted to run... I originally thought that you would need at least ten years of training to reach this level, but now it seems that I still underestimated you."

Saito Furuobushi opened his mouth wide, revealing a smile of amazement and pride: "It took only one month... What a monster!"
