Capítulo 45: Not really
Now you all must be wondering, how the fuck did he went from 'Imma burn everything' to 'Nice to meet you I'm God'
Well the thing is, he was already one from the start.....technically he became one after Lady Death tore through his soul making it stronger than normal
And not to mention his mind/consciousness was already on par with some gods
And what does those two things have in common ?
Let me give you a hint, Ancient Sages of the East
If you've read anything about the old history of the eastern side you know how one can become a God with just their mind....well not really a god But they can do some pretty amazing stuff
They reach such high levels that can 'see' the basic structures of the Universe and leave their bodies and essentially ascend to a higher plane and yes I'm overly simplifying it cause the real thing is too complicated amd funnily enough I kinda have a idea how they do it.....it gets complicated
Anyways, he could quite literally 'see' the basic working of the Universe but sadly he couldn't understand shit
The thing is.....he kinda skipped the middle part and directly went to the last one so even if he could see it, he couldn't understand it, thankfully he had a core of Human Immortal who understood Laws but again, wrong Universe so he could only use those as a reference to understand this ones
Now the original or the main body could do whatever he wants but he took the 'quality over quantity' approach when it came to godhood
He'd rather be only limited to small scale godhood and understand everything, rather than Universal one and lose his sense of self like Thanos who couldn't do anything to Eros and Adam Warlock.....well they were technically outside his scope of observation but topic for later
So the conclusion about all the above stuff is, he had the understanding of a god when it came to everthing but lacked the raw power of one
Here's the real kicker of all this
What happens when you put someone like that in a place full of pure soul/spirit energy ?
A God
.
.
.

For context purposes let's see what happened a few days ago
.....
-Few days ago-
After dealing with the snake he sat down and thought about few things
While he was running and stabilizing his emotions, his other part aka Parallel Mind was already going through the memories again but this time from a logical perspective and now he got a detailed report back which made him sit down
There were few points that didn't sit right with him
First was, how the heck did Ifrit become a peak level King ?
Second was the fact that Magnus (Lava Emperor) died which should be impossible cause the old man was hella powerful than he showed
And third and the most important part
Why would a Emperor send his own daughter to pick up someone from a totally different planet ?
It didn't make any sense till he remembered their purpose
Geno(Eath Emperor) wanted to use him as a way to escape from this world, whereas Magnus wanted to win the war
Meaning, Geno could just make it work with his body, him being alive wasn't necessary
One time, Nadia had told his future self that she could've saved Nira but the future self forgave her cause his life was already better with kids and he had long accepted her death
See what Magnus did? Letting Nira die so he would join them for revenge and then tying him firmly by marriage making sure that he won't leave them, plus his kids were born at Commander level
'Well played old man....Well played'
He gave him a round of applause in his mind before planning about his next move
He had changed the future by killing Ifrit but that didn't change the fact that the information he gained during that life was the same. Like the geographic locations, history of the planet, power levels, not to mention the fighting experience
Some events.....maybe a lot of events may differ but the base information was the same and to check that he went on a small side-quest
He had killed every aliens and staff from the all 38 outposts and devoured their souls, power + additional information by invading their soul seas fancy term for mindscape, technically he has all psychic powers on lock down, but like he said before, there are other ways to invade someone's mind one of them is using soul energy as a needle with little part of consciousness or 'will' in it ( He has too many powers if he bothered using them )
He knew the exact geography of the forest And one way to test that was the Outposts
And he did just that, destroyed all 38 Outposts and also devoured their souls while absorbing their memories via soul reading
[Soul Needle:- Can be used as a attack to damage the soul and affect the soul sea. By adding a little bit of consciousness aka 'will' to it, user can hack anyone's mind as soul sea and mindspace are same things just described differently depending on the world/universe (normal world or cultivation world) plus the power used in doing so is different like telepathy uses psychic waves or energy while soul needel as the name suggests uses soul/spirit energy ]
[Soul Reading :- Forcefully invading others mind using spirit energy or soul energy instead of psychic energy which is basically mind waves aka mental energy]
He used a combination of both to absorb information from them before burning and devouring them
His first objective was to get stronger physically and increase his soul/spirit power to the point where he could use the Spirit energy in nature
The reason was to avoid the Emperors surveillance by raising his spirit energy to a higher level than them So that they wouldn't precieve him through earth element and how to do that ?
Answer:- Devouring Flames (Spirit Flames)+ Energy Circulation
.
.
.
.
.
(AN:- You can skip till dialogue cause I couldn't create a scene where he explains this stuff to anyone so it's just here as a explanation to how he can just do anything he wants....pretty sure I explained it at the start....)
.
.
.
.
Devouring flames were actually just created to consume organic matter and nothing else
They turned food into energy to supplement his body and that was it, but Murasaki took it to another level
He just said 'Hey if it can turn stuff into energy why not just absorb energy directly?'
Good idea wrong world
You see, Cosmic Energy was there in the world but the quantity of the pure energy was..... pitiful to say the least, about 0.0001% (I have a feeling i siad it wrong) and that was the total energy on Earth
So another method was of course Deviants which absorbed energy from living things plus the genetic code and adapted to become a better predator with extra abilities, basically Xenomorphs on steroids
So after a lot of dissecting and a shit ton of experimenting he finally found a method to use the said energy
Unlike Cultivators who talk about ascending and what not, it's simply just absorbing energy and making it your own while creating a source for themselves in form of Dantian and elevating their life levels to that of a higher level being
Basically 3rd dimension being becoming 4th dimension by understanding the workings of the Universe (Laws in their case)
But there was a little bit of a problem with the main body
He was afraid of opening his Dantian plus the fact this wasn't a Cultivation themed world, meaning the laws of the current world weren't suitable for that, not to mention he didn't know what would happen if he did
Although he was curious at the time but decided against it having no idea that this decision saved him a lot of trouble but shit went down in some other timeline where he did.....let's just say Kang was scared for his life and Living Tribunal did not have a good day
(ps- The current version is lot more tame than some other variants who are just pure menace for the Universe)
So to find a way to use that energy he created Energy Circulation and Energy Reinforcement
Energy Circulation is as it says. Circulating pure energy instead of blood and increasing strength of the body. Meaning the energy produced by each cell will be equal to a star after some time
It was a slow process cause it was based on blood circulation and slowly changed the whole body from inside out
In cultivation terms, he had created the best cultivation method
But there was a little problem, you see he didn't specify which energy can be used so it was a blessing in disguise
The clone was as OP as one could get, not to mention the flames were just pure cheating
So he caught heads of each outpost, went through their memories via soul searching and devoured them along with the rest while slowly absorbing pure soul energy and supplementing his soul
But like he said, everything has a price. He could theoretically absorb all that and reach the previous level of soul aka Immortal Soul but he didn't
First, he didn't have the crazy ability of the original body to adapt to anything so he couldn't just absorb stuff and get away without any side-effects
Second, It would take time to even digest all the soul energy from the aliens
So he continued strolling around the forest passing time until he felt something and turned to look back
"It's you?" He asked in mild amusement and started walking towards the trembling plam sized marshmallow looking white thing
(Insert image of Mummy from 'How to keep a Mummy' only with white flames on top)
[K-kuy!]
It cutely pointed it's hand towards Leo and as of alive the trees launched themselves against him
He just chuckled a bit and ignored them
The tress avoided him and went around as he continued walking towards the scared Spirit
The Spirit was scared cause he was subconsciously giving off a frightening Aura
Aura is still a kind of pressure one exerts after exerting their will onto the physical world. At higher level Aura is able manifest as whatever the user wants it to be, of course some time It depends on the shape of the soul
Like Sorin who is actually a Flame Eagle so his Aura is shaped like that whereas Leo is technically human but his soul has forcefully devoured soul seas of aliens plus the additional pure energy so it's shaped like purple humanoid flames that was constantly purifying it
Now normally doing that will result in Universe marking that soul and changing it's color to number of things it has committed- Karma
But he's outside of that and concept of Karma hasn't been introduced so he's safe.....not like they could do anything to him in the first place
Imagine dragging someone who has full control over his soul and can use soul/spirit powers at max to hell. That's just Doom in God mode, anyways continuing....
White is default for every living thing. Red is danger and matches the color of blood which signifies someone has killed someone or something. Black means run cause everything is instinctively afraid of darkness.
That's also where the misconception and superstitions began where people started associating anything Black to Evil cause everything is afraid of Darkness. But it's also crucial to remember not everything dark is evil....except in some cases <Knull>
(p.s. He's not really evil and man just wants his house back and understandably will kill intruders aka Universe so kind of makes him the bad guy for everyone living in it....Oof the irony)
Now his soul is flames cause he was still in the process of processing all that energy but there was something else that scared the Spirit
Let me ask you a question
What happens when someone kills a God?
Answer:- The Universe marks them or in simple terms, it grants them a title that instinctively scares anything below a certain level or someone who can precieve that - God Killer.....well he was still indirectly responsible for their deaths and that Universe did not dare to mark Lady Death so it was kind of baised towards him
Depending on level of God killed the mark let's out threatening Aura or intent, it basically warns everyone to stay away.....atleast to those that stay away cause let's be honest, Gods don't take warnings seriously.....well, it's their funeral
Long stroy short, the Spirit which was the Will of the Elemental World was instinctively afraid and sent the beasts after him and he only found it out after processing soul energy from 10 beings
He had some suspicion but he never knew it could be true
We all know what Spiritual energy is capable of, heck even techniques from Soul Society are more than enough to dominate any world but this mf took it to another level
He simply controled the already available energy in the world to his will
It was similar to how Elementals controled elements. They use their core energy to control their specific element but he just went 'Why control something else when you can just control the base of all things ?'
Yup, you read that right, this world is created from Spirit energy
Unlike reality where everything is made up of matter and Cosmic stuff plus other energies, this world was a perfect place increase soul level
There's a reason why it's named Spirit Dimension
And to be honest he could already burn this place to dust by simply unleashing Spirit flames (Flames that devour spirit/soul ) and they would continue burning everything until there is nothing left
Leo caught the trembling spirit before he switched to spirit vision (covering his eyes in soul/spirit energy can let him see souls or in this case the spirit energy present everywhere) and took a look at his hands
"Oh...." he muttered before closing his eyes
The Spirit saw the flames die out and all that remained was a thin hair sized red vein that covered his whole soul
"There, not scary see?" he slightly smiled while patting it with his finger
[Kyu?] It tilted it head a little confused before eventually dropping it's vigilance
"Honestly I was expecting Gaia or someone else"
[Kyu!!]
It pouted angrily and turned it's head sideways making him laugh a little
"So, why were you afraid ?"
*insert random cute pet noises*
"You thought I wanted to kill you ?"
*Nods head*
"Now why would I destroy a perfectly good and beautiful world..."
It scratched it's head shyly while sighing in relief
".....But the living beings here are a different question"
It stopped and looked at him with puppy eyes as if asking why
"Well, they tried to pull me in their games and went after my people so I'm gonna destroy the entire board"
[Kyu!]
It screamed in tears making him laugh as he thought about something
'I already need to create a distraction so might as well use it for a small game'
It looked with teary eyes making him sigh
"Well I did technically kill his daughter and he won't let go and will chase me like a rabid dog until he kills me so...."
He looked at the Spirit and said "....How about this, I will create a copy of myself and if they stop after killing it and not target my world I won't kill anyone....."
The Spirit started shining in happiness only to be disappointed in next second as he continued with a creepy smile
"....but if they don't let go of that grudge and still insist on it, I will burn every living thing to dust"
It started crying again but nonetheless nodded it's head and accepted the bet making him simile while thinking 'Not like I'm gonna destroy this world'
And so the things happened as we saw
With his improved soul strength which was above Emperor level He easily avoided their senses by mixing his presence with the environment and left a clone with same signature behind at the same time
The clone acted as a decoy while he kept getting stronger and stronger with each moment until the commander group appeared
Looking at the legions he smirked and erased them one by one not before eating their souls
[Soul/Spirit Threads :- Can connect the user and the target to each other where the user can eat up the traget's soul leaving behind a empty husk or can simply just use them to throw stuff around or use it like a cheap telekinesis]
That husk were of course erased by freezing them on atomic levels and turning them into particles
The rest in the frozen outpost where there as a decoration to give off more evil boss vibes
As for the Hyōrinmaru that the clone or more specifically the puppet created was a replica
Reaper did a great job of recreating few techniques that he could understand based on the logic and working principles behind them
Few including soul techniques from cultivation worlds and few skills and abilities from Bleach
For obvious reasons, he only had energy based and element based Zanpakutō with Shikai and Bankai form. As long as Reaper could understand the working principles behind them he could create it or atleast replicate it
Element based and energy based techniques and skills were easy cause it's in the name so I won't explain but let me just give you a quick example-
Hyōrinmaru:- Ability-Ice (no explanation needed)
Shirayuki= Snow/Frost (same as above)
Rujin Jakka= Fire (-_-)
Zambimaru= Snek (Monke)
Wabisuke= Gravity (Which can be used by pressuring an individual via Aura,presence or using surrounding energy or just telekinesis)
Nozarashi= Destroyed in seconds simplified. Just pure raw destruction
Kyoka Suigetsu:- Mindfuckery Irl by manipulating light(eyes- by adjusting color of flames and intensity of it),sound(ears) by wind(touch and sound by vibrating at different frequencies)
Cero:- Bomb go brrrr
Spirit Gun:- YuYu Hakusho Fans entered the chat
Now the one's above are one of many that have a logical ability that's easy to replicate but ones like Katen Kyokotsu (just Google it) it's abilities are kind of complicated but can be replicated but he didn't do it cause there was no reason to, simple as that and not to mention Descorrer, Reaper didn't even try to mess with that, he just went 'Nope' and dipped
Did Hyōrinmaru had a soul, as in his 'will' or mind ?
No, like I said, it was a replica without it's mind just had the power of one
Remember when he said he wanted to confirm few things ?
First was of course the power level of elementals. He wanted to see if Kings really were powerful or not cause the spirits who went after his family had no clue who Kings were which was sus seeing they were from this place and that's the time he stared to doubt them.
[Before anyone points out that how he knew emperor's powers but not kings? He only had a doubt about Emperors powers(senses) and didn't want to take any chances so he did all that 'soul devouring and getting stronger' stuff to avoid that even if it was true or not and did all that cause of slight suspicion.....pretty much sums up his mentality I guess?]
He had some suspicion so he did all that stuff and for the bet too
Now that he knew their strengths, more questions started poping up. He had read that spirits mind and found that they never had anyone even slightly close to King in terms of power so who the heck were the emperors they were talking about?
So what better way to that then kidnap every single alien for answers cause they were the only thing that shouldn't exist in this world.....plus the Spirit wants them out so win-win which brings us to the present....
.....
"Well....I am God....for now"
Just as they were about to rebuke him something fell near them groaning in pain
"Chief Krnx?"
They all saw the alien Krnx who was rubbing it's head in confusion before his gaze landed on Leo
"You! Wha- *Crunch*"
Krnx was about to say something when he stopped and looked to the side
His face turned pale seeing his all left arms crushed into a puddle
"M-MY ARMS!!! ACK-" he stopped screaming as he felt a frightening pressure decend which slowly increased
"Quite insect" Leo said with his eyes turned to white
The group was awestruck and scared by this sudden switch
"You have 2 choices" he vanished the pressure affecting Krnx and continued "First leave this world, forget everything that happened here and never come back or Second, I destroy your entire species" he said with a smile but they could tell he was dead serious
Krnx nodded his head in fright and just raised one finger
"Good, now take your kind and fuck off" he gestured to the Spirit who clapped it's hand and created a portal
Leo picked Krnx up with spirit threads and threw him inside it
"Now where was I? Yes, I'm God" and he's back to the default settings of happy-go-lucky kid....funnily enough, he is a kid
Regis snapped out of it and asked him "How are you related to that guy" while pointing towards the ice forest
He just stared deadpan before looking Ava whose eye narrowed in realization "That was a clone?"
"A puppet to be exact"
"Why?"
"Well....."
*Proceeds to tell the entire thing that happened above*
Ava and Leo were siting on a rock watching Cera,Celis and Aqualon play with the Spirit and Regis who was thinking about something
"So you did all that and don't even have any idea who went after your family?"
"Oh, I know who did"
She looked with a blank face before he continued "Remember when I said I wanted to confirm few things? This was it. The aliens or Zorgs as you call them were the ones pulling the strings so banished them from this world"
"I had some doubts on how you guys were born and the runic system elementals turned out to be created by them So it wasn't hard to guess what they could do"
He simplified it but the truth was far more complicated than that and I won't explain cause it will totally go off topic as it's related to the history of the elemental planet (gonna have side chapter)
"And why are you telling me this ?"
"Well.....I have free time and I just wanted to talk I guess ?" He lied
The reason he was doing all this was to stall for time as he knew the Spirit would send him back home but there was a slight problem.
There was a Eldritch God who was camping right outside the dimension (mf spwan camping irl), although he didn't know it but he could guess cause Shuma-Gorath wasn't the only one who specialized in mind invading and he wouldn't be happy when he finds out what Leo did
"What happened to your body ?" She asked curiously as he was in his default ten year own self
He raised one of his brow "This is how I look you know"
"Wait...." She stopped and suddenly got up with her finger pointing at him "You're a kid !?"
"That's the thing that surprises you !?"
"I thought the God part was a lie !"
"Oy, I literally created a puppet that had power of a King what more do you want kid !?"
"I'm not a kid !"
"Oh really? How old are you then !?"
"Older than you!"
*Tch* "Failed"
Leo clicked his tongue and sat back down with Ava doing a victory pose. The above dialogue was just them screwing around with each other amd Leo trying to find her real age
She sat down and asked again "No seriously though, what happened?"
He looked with a serious face "Promise you won't laugh"
She did a little 'cross my heart and hope to die' thing
"I'm technically 5 years old"
Everyone stopped what they were doing and thought the same thing
'We were fighting a kid !?'
"We lost to a kid !?" Aqualon of course screamed out loud making them faceplam
Leo just smirked "Sucks to be you eh?" And rubbed more salt to the injury
We all know by now how cautious he is and likes to avoid unnecessary cliché bullshit. So the moment he was about to cross the portal, he had changed his body to that of a more older version of himself with little bit of color change on eyes and hair (Current body:- Black hair, purple eyes changed to Almond brown hair- Green eyes)
You see he hated some things few were those usual things like not disguised and doing something then getting caught later on
Take a certain novel *cough* WarSovereignSoringTheHeavens *cough* for example. Almost 60% of plot wouldn't have happened if the Mc just used a little bit of his brain. Now imagine going in a forest and killing someone while wearing clothes that have your family crest, like bro are you for real? And atleast make sure you killed them!! Which fucking idiot stabs someone in the heart and doesn't even check if they are dead or not! Does it really takes that much time to simply slash their throats? You are supposed to be a fucking mercenary!! Even I know they aren't that stupid!
Well there's a reason why logic doesn't go hand in hand with that and if it did we would get a masterpiece like Lightning is the only Way or Celestial Peak
(ngl That is some epic stuff go give it a read after this)
*Ahem* Anyways...
He did so to stop that stuff but shit went down with Ifrit and had to use some future insight stuff which got his psychic powers sealed
And he was back to his normal body after few hours and hence the current look which of course he didn't tell Ava or anyone else
"Well then...." He got up and dusted his clothes
"Nice meeting you all. Hopefully you all will still be alive next time." he raised his hand and dragged the Spirit back to him causing Cera to throw a small tantrum
"Where are you going?" Ava asked making him pause his steps
He looked back and said "To get my wolf back" before vanishing like a ghost
××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
-Planet Zorg-
A rift opened up in a room and Krnx dropped on the hard metal surface
"Sir!"
Few Zorgs helped him up and he sat down on a chair in daze while staring at his left arms which were still intact
"Sir?"
Krnx took a deep breath and finally made a decision
"I want every record on the two legged species from that place"
The Zorgs quickly got to work while Krnx was laughing in his mind while clenching his left fist
'That was a realistic illusion to the point where even my eyes couldn't see and not to mention the pure energy he was giving off was totally off the charts' He smiled eerily 'Thanks for giving us a new way to use that power'
Well....he just spelled doom for their entire planet not knowing he successfully fell right into Leo's trap
