Soul Reapers are the spiritual guardians of the human world. They are the balancers that watch over the souls of this world, both good and evil. Good souls are shown their way to the soul society-The the realm of the souls. The soul society is roughly divided into Seireitei and Rukon district. Seireitei Lies in the center of Soul Society and it is the home to the realm''s nobles and Soul Reapers. The Rukon District lies on the outskirts of Seireitei and is the poorest area of Soul Society. Yet this is where freedom is greatest and is home to the majority of the realm''s souls. But the Rukon district often comes under attack. Hollows, those evil spirits that can''t rest often attack, launching sudden assaults. Right now, it was one of those times. However, at this moment, three Soul Reapers were racing towards the Rukon District. -x-x-x-x-x-x- While rushing towards the area with Hollow Invasion, the Soul Reaper wearing glasses informed the others with him about the current situation, "We are reaching near the patrol that put out the call for help Captain Suzunami." The one addressed as Captain Suzunami squared his tensed shoulders as he turned towards the third Soul Reaper with them, "You heard him Urahara. As Aizen said, We''d better hurry." "Sure, that''s fine with me." Captain Kisuke Urahara responded while running alongside those two, but his playful mood sparked too, and he decided to tease them, "But why am I being dragged along on a Squad 5 Rescue Mission?" "You were the only one available who could keep up with Aizen and me" Suzunami responded as he was an extremely serious and sincere kind and didn''t often get the nuances and teasing of others when focused on a mission. "This is an emergency Captain Urahara, we hope you don''t mind," Aizen responded with an apologetic smile on his face. "That''s fine Aizen. You know me, Happy to help. Although I prefer to leave this kind of stuff to the young folks and simply devote myself to research." Urahara said with a short laugh. Aizen got a headache listening to his carefree speech and tried to reason with him. He couldn''t very well show his exasperation since he was a captain, no matter how childish his talks were. "Training young folks is one of the duties of the Captain though sir isn''t it? "Aizen tried to reason with him. "I just am good at creating things though. I don''t have any talent in training people." Urahara snickered. A sudden pressure spiked in the surrounding startling the three out of their mood. The three became focused as they realized they had almost arrived at their destination. "Alright, that''s enough griping, lets focus. I sense hollows nearby" Suzunami said briefly as he honed his senses to find out the exact location of the spiritual pressure. Aizen analyzed the spiritual pressure and tried to quantify the enemies, "Six of them? ¡­. No, Seven. So many in one place! This can''t be a random attack which usual patrol squads deal with." "That''s too many for a patrol squad to handle, they will be in trouble." Suzunami said, "I hope we make it in time." Saying as much, Suzunami started to speed up, even more, wanting to reach as soon as possible. "Where is that Yoruichi when we need her, anyway?" Urahara grumbled as he kept up with Suzunami. While shaking his head, Suzunami turned to Aizen, "You to take care while backing us up Aizen." Aizen immediately nodded with a serious expression "Yes sir." -x-x-x-x-x-x- These three were Captain Urahara of Squad 12, Captain Suzunami of Squad 5 and his Lieutenant Aizen. Today they had received a distress call from one of the patrol squads and went to help. They didn''t know that today would mark the start of a new story for them. They soon reached the spot of the alarming spiritual pressures of hollows. However, they could only see the fading remains of previous patrol squad devoured by the hollows. Suzunami shouted in anger and frustration at seeing such a sight. Captain Suzunami was very sincere and straight forward. He considered his squad members as his own family. Seeing them torn to pieces and devoured like that angered him. Aizen quickly made a headcount and reported, "All five patrol members are dead Captain; however, something doesn''t feel right here. There is something wrong. But they managed to lure six of the hollows into this vacant plot and minimize the damage. They accomplished their duties without fail Captain, they didn''t die in vain." "I don''t get it, though. By the principle of their existence Hollows are usually loners, aren''t they? They usually don''t group up like this. But here there are six of them facing against us like this. Being all together without conflict... Something doesn''t sit well." Urahara mused while looking around. Suzunami interrupted the ponderings of the other two at this point since he could no longer hold back, "We can think about all that later, Urahara. Right now, is the time to slaughter these miscreants and avenge the deaths of our fallen men?" "Yeah. Let''s settle the score! We need to find out where the seventh one went too after all." With that, the fight started between the Hollows and the three Soul Reapers. Suzunami led the charge, his Zanpakuto already unleashed in his Shikai Form ''Shiden'' "Five Screamers and a Frog Head ... Three for me and two for you two. After them, we will deal with the Frog head. I am moving in." Attacking with fast-paced Flash Step along with his ''Shiden'', He was making short work of his share of hollows. His Zanpakuto started growing larger and more sinister with each strike. Finally, it started releasing the true power of the Shikai, His Zanpakuto embodied lightning. Every slash started sending streams of lightning scorching his share of Hollows to charcoal. Aizen and Urahara didn''t stay back. Aizen distracted the hollows with ''Kyokasuigetsu'', while Urarahara''s ''Benihime'' made short work of them quickly. After that, all three of them went for the Frog head. Though it put up a good fight, lasting longer than the Screamers, against the three of them he couldn''t put a scratch it had a little more resistance to Shiden''s lightning barrage but ultimately resulted in charcoal all the same. The speed of Suzunami increased tenfold because of the integration of lightning and in such a case, it didn''t last long. "Finally done, that ought to do it." Urahara sighed as Aizen nodded in affirmation while making another round of investigation in the surroundings. Suzunami broke the reverie as he gave his orders "Aizen stay on guard here, Urahara and I will check out the final one." "Yes, Sir." "Urahara, Let''s go. We will go and find the final one." "Sure, Why not. I bet that one is the big nasty leader." Urahara responded as Benihime glowed in a bright red light briefly. They both ran towards where they could sense the last hollow, when suddenly they felt an enormous spike of spiritual pressure, like a whirlpool dragging everything towards its depths. They were startled by the appearance of this spiritual pressure because this didn''t belong to a hollow. They rushed to the spot but what they saw stunned them; three little children confronting an enormous hollow, which seemed to be a unique one apart from the usual riffraff, because of his actions that suggested intelligence. One girl was holding someone who seemed to be her brother who was wounded, and the last boy with blue hair and swirling red eyes, staring at the hollow with the gaze of a Wrathful Shinigami God, his surrounding distorting into a spiritual pressure whirlpool because of the pressure he was emitting. The way his pressure swirled was making the hollow cautious, as it looked like the boy with the enormous pressure was protecting the other two. Suzunami and Urahara were dumbstruck at the scene, ''How can a boy have that much spiritual pressure'' was what going through their minds. This child had enough pressure to barely qualify to captain level! 2 BANB CH 01 Born with Abnormal Eyes BANB CH 01 Born with Abnormal Eyes They say a person''s entire life flashes before their eyes when they are about to die. There seems to be some truth to the saying because as my sight darkened and my pain and suffering gave way to peaceful oblivion, I could see my entire life flashing by like a high-speed revolving lantern. I was recruited at an early age by an organization due to my unique physique to be trained to fight against monsters that threatened to wipe out the last of us that have been surviving on our planet. Along with many other candidates, I was also put through rigorous training. Even though I was the youngest of all, I was subjected to more cruel and drastic experiments as compared to the rest of my comrades, courtesy of my different and stronger physique. We finally got equipped with a kind of superweapon that comprised of some form of the essence of those monsters themselves, combined with our modern advanced weaponry knowledge. Armed with the new weapons and encouraged with false hopes, we were sent to fight our nightmares in living form. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. Initially, there were hundreds of us, but with each fight, I saw the fall of more than one of my comrades. I kept surviving, again and again, my weaponry kept being upgraded after each fight, and the monster within it bonded to me more and more with each fight. This kept on happening in a loop until a point came when there was no difference between the monsters and me. I tore into them like a rabid beast, the weapon in my hand had become something unrecognizable to its makers. It had become sentient, my thoughts became its objectives, my blood became its energy, my heart became its life. Fascinated by my new bond with the monster essence in the weapon, they decided to do a final experiment on me. They fused me with many such weapons and left me amid a sea of monsters. Left with no choice, I fought like never seen before in the twenty years that had comprised of my life till this point. All that followed was me slashing through their necks, piercing through their joints, crushing their bones, and ripping through their insides. Minutes became hours, hours became days, days became weeks and weeks became months. I fought, I struggled and persisted through the entire ordeal, even started devouring those monsters like an animal to sustain myself. I don''t know when, but at one point all the weapons with me, merged into a single entity that started fusing with my body, enabling me to become the absolute weapon against these monsters. But as all things come to an end, the end came for me too. The very organization that had trained me to rampage against the monsters now became afraid of my powers and sent their best against me. Now that there were not any more monsters that were more dangerous to them than me, they wanted to wipe me out. Again, I fought, this time against those I used to call my comrades. They came, they fought against me, they died. This cycle repeated so many times that I started to lose my sense of identity. All I remembered now was to fight and win. My weapon kept devouring their and grew stronger and more alive. However, the day came finally that I was defeated. They pulled out all stops against me and deployed multiple prototype weapons of mass annihilation just to defeat me. As I lay dying, my weapons somehow turned to particles of light and were absorbed into me just as me sight grew dark and my heart finally stilled forever. -x-x-x-x-x-x-x- When my eyes finally opened, the only thing I saw was white fog swirling around directionless in an empty land. There seemed to be no end to this seemingly endless white. Trudging on and on, I kept putting one foot in front of others. I didn''t know where I was or what I was doing, but it felt like someone was watching. I knew instinctively whoever it was, didn''t mean me harm, and whoever was looking, was seeing what I would do here. So, I kept walking and walking. I could feel something changing about me with every step, but I didn''t know what. I just kept walking into the endless white land, somehow enjoying the peace after a lifetime of chaos. Unknown to me, there were three ancient entities here that kept a close watch on me as they enjoyed the memories of my previous life as if watching a movie, while they watched me trudge around in this place. They discussed among themselves fervently and the topic of their discussion was precisely the one currently enjoying the peace of his new location. "Is he not marvelous! He withstands the power of this soul land like a natural. He is made for evolving his soul by devouring soul energy and spiritual energy. That is the best way for him." The first entity said while observing the lone weary soul and taking notes in some form of an ethereal scroll. "His soul stability suggests incredibly powerful willpower, capable of withstanding any situation. He will grow best in an environment of pressure that forces him to grow and fight for himself. We don''t want a flower that grows in a flowerpot, we need a tree that withstands strongest of storms." Another entity with powerful energy fluctuations said with a glint in its eyes as if wanting to fight against the newcomer soul which was the topic of their discussion itself. "So which world is the best suitable for. Pretty tough choice to make seeing his enormous talent and potential. Such a talented soul, such a horrifying and pitiful past. It''s as if the world itself is jealous of his potential and doesn''t want him to become what he is capable of. Well, we are responsible for him being here anyway. Let''s go and meet him?" The Final entity proposed, acting as the mediator between the other two. "Why the hurry?" The fighter like entity rebuffed him "Let''s see how far he manages on his own. I have rarely seen a soul grow so much with every moment of being here. Most lose their reason for existence and disintegrate into soul energy. But this guy is making me impressed." "His power and talent will only grow in multiple folds more he stays. If you are planning on letting his soul bathe in ... the energy of this plane, you better be sure he has a way to utilize this properly without it overwhelming him." The Observer entity said while making more notes. "His world itself, that this soul originated from, gave us that answer. The mortals of that world have lived with struggle and desperation all their lives. They have been forged in battle and as such won''t lose their willpower to survive even as a soul. Even if he lacks the complete memories and his identity at this moment, I am sure he will end up surprising us." The fighter entity replied confidently. "I have an idea, let us try the transmigration thing they so love in that parallel world where all those people keep creating so many divergent timelines for all those existences. It would be interesting, he has had hardships his entire life until this point, let''s make it fun for him now." The mediator suggested. The mediator started the discussion of the details for the transmigration "So which world will we put him in? I vote for either One Piece or Fairy-Tail since I enjoy both." The fighter objected "It''s not about you it''s about him. Since he needs the proper guidance and environment to use his power, the world of Naruto will be best. Plus, he already has experience of surviving in a conflict-filled world filled with conspiracies and betrayal." The observer shook his head at that "He seems most comfortable in his soul form; won''t the world of Bleach be the best possible match for him?" The fighter was enraged "Oi, you blue-haired monkey! You are going to ruin my fun again?" The observer sniffed in disdain "Your fun results in trouble for others, black-haired destruction gorilla!" The mediator groomed his red hair while commenting on the other two "Whether we are talking about my perfect red hair or my ideas, both I feel are the best." "Shut up, you narcissistic ape." He was immediately rebuffed by the other two. "Fine! Let''s all calm down and make a bet on how long he can hold on his current action without giving up in that timeless, ageless and lifeless plane. Whoever wins gets to decide which world he goes to. I bet on three months." The mediator suggested "Six months." The fighter shouted The observer squinted at the other two then the wandering soul before saying, "One year." "That''s a big bet right there." The fighter said solemnly "You do realize that absorbing G¡­... The special energy of that plane for so long will be making him a Dem¡­..." "I know, and I am betting on that possibility. In that world, he will only be able to live as he likes with absolute power. I will add one more reward if I win, because of the absolute determination that he needs to withstand that place for one year. If he can withstand that place for the time duration I set, I will fuse one of my minor essences with that aberrant being inside that soul to watch over him as long as he lives." "Oi, even a minor essence of yours is something a world like that will have trouble handling, but whatever, I like it. It on then?!!" "It''s on!" the other two agreed enthusiastically. "By the way, you all do know it''s already been four months, right?" the observer said smugly The mediator was devastated at this as he hurriedly started to observe and calculate "What?!! Nooooooo?!!" Ignorant of the antics of certain dunderheads, I went on walking an infinite distance, with each step I could feel a growth, a sense of fulfillment. I went on walking as if in an enraptured gaze. However, outside my knowledge, my entire being was transformed. Swirling red patterns emerged in my eyes constantly and some sort of energy seeped into my soul. Five months * * * Six months * * * * Ten months * * * One year later The mediator and the fighter gave hateful looks to the observer who was lording over them in glee "You have a good eye, you sneaky villain. You win!" The observer laughed loudly seeing their ugly looks "Haha! Let''s bring him now." -x-x-x-x-x-x- As I kept walking, immersed in that wonderful feeling, suddenly I felt a ripple in the space before me, and I found myself in front of three people who seemed to be triplets. The first one had blue hair, second with red hair and last with a black one. Apart from that, they seemed to be ideal healthy happy middle-aged yet timeless looking triplets. Though I didn''t know about it, they were all pleased seeing my eyes filled with red swirling patterns. The blue-haired one, who was the observer, was the first to speak "Welcome I am God of creation." "Welcome, I am God of maintenance." The red-haired mediator spoke next. The black-haired fighter introduced himself the last in a gruff voice "Welcome I am God of destruction." ''Wow, Gods huh. That is a shocker.'' I wondered as I observed them "We didn''t mean it to be a shock you know. When we were recycling excess energy of your world, somehow you who were dying, got his soul pulled out by us by mistake. To make up for it we decided to send you into another world as an apology with some of our gifts." Creation God said in a gentle voice My non-existent heart leaped in surprise ''Oh, gifts from gods. Ok, not as if I remember anything much of when I was alive so going to another world shouldn''t be too bad.'' "That''s more of our decision. Since you didn''t have a lot of good memories in that world, we wiped it off and let you experience everything fresh in this world. Oh, and you will naturally gain a sort of partner who will explain to you our gift. And we will check on you from time to time whenever we feel it is enjoyable... ahem, I mean when we are free. Anyway, off you go, your new life awaits." The creation god responded as if reading my mind ''Hey, wait just a minute, aaaaaah'' I screamed mentally as the entire world twisted and turned and I lost my consciousness. "Hope he does well in his new life. By the way, his eyes are pretty special, aren''t they?" the Maintenance god said. 3 BANB CH 02 New World and New Companions BANB CH 02 New World and New Companions When I came to, I found myself in a dirty alleyway, dressed in some thin rags barely in the form of a sleeveless robe-like shirt and knee-length loose, ragged shorts. Getting up I dusted off my hands, knees and behind. In the process, I realized that my arms and legs felt much smaller than before. Quickly patting myself all over, I realized it wasn''t just my limbs. My entire body had become smaller, or to be accurate, I regressed to a child version of myself. The fact shook me for a few minutes before I regained my senses. I realized that this might not be all bad, I had a new life and for some reason, I had memories of both the previous life and the time where I was with those three gods. With my previous life knowledge, I would be able to train myself into a perfect vessel or my powers. ''Hold on, first I have to see if I still even have those powers!'' I thought as concentrated and tried to bring forth my weapons, or as they were called in my previous life, my God Arcs. In the process, I felt some sort of energy moving inside me and testing my body. The energy swam in me, faster and faster, yet was not able to get released outside. However, energy from my surroundings did rush into me like I was a magnet for them. Soon, my body started to feel bloated so I ceased my efforts to call up my God Arcs. I had seven of them, yet was not able to call up even one of them, even though I could feel them in me. My God Arcs were special even at the time they were made, let alone when they finally completely bonded with me. The one that was with me for the longest was a type of Heavy Moon God Arc, named with the code-name Wrath. Later I gained the Short Blade ¨C Envy, Long Blade ¨C Pride, Buster Blade ¨C Sloth, Charge Spear ¨C Lust, Twin Biting Edge ¨C Greed, Variant Scythe ¨C Gluttony. While trying to call forth my God Arc, I also remembered about the partner or assistant the gods told me about. I decided to look for that first since that might help me figure out my situation. I again concentrated my mind, diving into the depths of my consciousness. Very easy practice since in my past life I used this method to bond with the Aragami Essence on my God Arcs. However, this time I was not looking for the God Arcs in me so I tried to wander off and search for something different. After a while, I found a different place in the depths of my consciousness that I never had seen before. It looked like an advanced lab that I had seen in my past life where they used to manufacture God Arcs. -x-x-x-x-x- I stepped into the lab and I saw a woman in a lab coat working on some blueprints that were being displayed on a hologram-like screen. She completed the designs she was working on and turned her rotating chair towards him. She had a superb hourglass figure that was barely contained in her figure-hugging dress and lab coat. She had lustrous thick hair that extended below her hips and was tied in a ponytail. She adjusted her frameless spectacles and peered at him. "So, you are the chosen one huh? Hmm, I dunno what the Great Divine Trio saw in you. You barely have enough to even be considered a genius. Hmm, Soul Energy Capacity is well above average, Mental Capabilities are pretty decent too. You will be able to have instantaneous learning and recall capabilities. Energy sensing perception abilities are also decent. With some control training, your Energy Manipulation abilities will be good too." She got up and walked around him touching him all over. Soon she sat back down and started muttering to herself, calculating and designing some new blueprints. I gathered my courage and called out to her. "Excuse me, can you just tell me who are you and do you anything about why I am not able to access my God Arcs?" "Hahaha!", the woman started laughing, "God arcs, what a pretentious name. Well in the world you came from that Aragami must have felt pretty much like gods. Well in a way they were gods I guess after all they nearly came to the point of Creation itself. Anyway, I am Gayathri, you can call me your assigned guardian. My job is to look after your soul since you have gained the attention of the Great Divine Trio." "About your God Arcs, they are in a special situation. At the time you died, they sort of merged with your soul. Since their physical manifestations were destroyed completely, you only have their essence left. You can again convert them into a proper form according to the rules of the current world you are in, but it will take time." "Huh, that sounds pretty complex stuff. What do I do then?" "Currently you can''t do anything, I will tell you when your situation develops appropriately. Currently, I will give you something else to protect yourself with. Here, this should help you for the time being." She touched my forehead with her index finger and a stream of information emerged in my head. I focused on deciphering the information that suddenly in my head. I found that it was a kind of energy application method that can boost all capabilities of the body, whether strength or endurance or perception. "This is a method that can be sufficiently adapted to nearly any kind of energy. By the way, do you remember the energy you absorbed by chance a little while ago? That energy is called Reiatsu or Soul Energy. This plane is very abundant in Soul Energy. The absurd quality of your soul makes it perfect for absorbing enormous amounts of the stuff and make it yours. You transformed soul energy can be used for the technique I just provided you with." "So, I can just absorb energy like what I did before?" "Yes, but your method was pretty crude, it will let everyone around you know your capability. Use this method, this should be many times more efficient than your previous technique." She said and transmitted another technique to my mind, this one for energy absorption.

When the time is right, I will call you here and provide you with your God Arcs. For now, just go to the outside world and live your new life." -x-x-x-x-x-x-x- The next moment I was ejected out from that space and I found myself back in the dark and dirty alleyway. However, this time, I saw I was not alone. There were a bunch of older kids surrounding him. They were also dressed in rags, but their bodies seemed well built due to their harsh lifestyle. "Hey look, we got someone new here!" the leader of the group threw a mean look towards me "What is your name newbie? Do you know that you are in the territory of the Broken Blades? How dare you intrude without permission?" I felt amused at these kids who we''re pretending to be tough. In front of what I faced in my previous life, these kids trying to intimidate me was kind of laughable. I gave a slight shake to dislodge the leader''s hand that was on my shoulder. As a look of shock crossed his face, I gave a swift palm strike to the underside of his jaw while using the energy manipulation technique Gayathri had just given him. The leader was not able to resist at all as he got thrown back like a broken doll. By the time the kid landed back on the ground, he was completely unconscious. The rest of the kids looked towards me in shock and anger. I smirked at them and got into a fighting stance as I replied. "Heh, come on. I will make you remember my name forevermore from now on so that you will piss in your shorts when you listen to my name ever again. Hear and remember this, I am Eru Doreigo!" As the guys rushed towards me, I saw two kids who stayed back and didn''t try to attack me. It was a little boy and girl, maybe siblings who had joined this gang under pressure. I found that my perception had increased by a few times while in fighting mode. I could see all the kids rushing towards me at slightly slow speed while also taking in all the details of my surroundings. Unknown to me, my eyes have already transformed into one with red swirling patterns. I dodged and twisted around their attacks while delivering hard-hitting counters. To them, I was just a blur that blew past them while destroying them at the same time. When I was done with them, I turned my attention towards the two kids. The boy was shivering a bit while he stared at me, whereas the girl grits her teeth while gripping the boy''s hand while looking at me. ''Hmm, seems like two innocent ones mixed in without meaning to. Better to sort this out without making them even more afraid of me.'' I walked towards them, completely letting go of the aggressive front I had put on in front of the rest and called out to them in a gentle voice. They responded by slowly walking towards me. "Who are you two? And why were you with these idiots?" "I am Matsuri Kudo, this is my twin Fujimaru. We live in one of the shacks of the slums. They said if we wanted to continue having a roof over our head and food in our belly then we should serve them as underlings. We had no other choice¡­" "Is that so?" Eru thought for a moment "Fine then. I will live with you two from today. If these morons come again then they will have to face me first. Let''s go!" "Mmmm!!" the two Kudo twins nodded happily as they led Eru to their shack. 4 BANB CH 03 Mad Eater and the Shinigami BANB CH 03 Mad Eater and the Shinigami Eru started staying with the Kudo Twins and they appreciated his company too. None of the local bullies now bothered them. Even most of the violent adults stayed far away from them and the local shopkeepers gave them nice discounts in exchange for Eru staying away from their shops. They usually worked to gather various wild herbs and sold them in exchange for various food products and water. Eru sometimes helped adults with heavy lifting work and harvesting crops. It was a good excuse for him to train with his Energy Manipulation Method. He grew proficient with the method swiftly. He was able to absorb Reiryoku or Spiritual energy from the environment and transform it into his Spiritual Energy while also refining his soul. He also found that more he utilized the method, permanent changes were starting to appear in him. His perception had grown many times that before, so he had his reaction timing. He could see, hear, smell, taste and feel much more than he could before practicing the training method. Most of all, he had gained finer control over the energy in him and was now even able to summon it out. Weirdest of all was when he tried out a spiritual energy application method suggested by Gayathri: Spiritual Pressure. He learned that there was some fighter like a job in this plane called Shinigami, who was in charge of ruling over souls. Spiritual pressure was one of their skills, which they can employ in many different ways to scare, defend, attack, paralyze opponents, and a variety of other effects. When Eru released his spiritual pressure, he found that his sight and perception grew so much that the entire world seemed to be moving in slow motion. He could count individual dust particles in the air around him. His reflexes and physical power also gained a huge boost. He saw that the spiritual energy of the world became a whirlpool with him as the center. A pair of translucent wings made of energy bloomed from his back. Best of all, he could sense the Seven Sins God Arcs more clearly than ever before. He tried to summon the God Arc with the least amount of energy requirements, Short Blade ¨C Envy. What came out was a translucent Aragami Mouth made of energy that snarled and looked around as if searching for an enemy. When it didn''t find any, it turned to Eru and tilted its head as if asking why had he summoned it out. Eru was so freaked out that he immediately dispersed the Aragami Mouth and his Spiritual Pressure. ''Gayathri! What was that? Why did Envy behave like that?!'' Eru screamed in his mind ''I had told you not to call any of your God Arcs out, didn''t I?'' Gayathri Scolded him back ''They are transitioning right now. Just like you are adapting and evolving, so are they. Since this plane is rich in Spiritual Energy, it has helped them evolve and gain sentience. They will only keep on growing from here on. It won''t be surprising if they become as intelligent as humans or even gain humanoid forms.'' ''Humanoid Aragami¡­. It was only a rumor in my previous world. They said that one of the legendary God Eaters Soma once had a relationship with one such Humanoid Aragami.'' Eru wondered ''They are no longer Aragami exactly Eru'' Gayathri corrected him ''The various Aragami essence that was present in your God Arcs have gone through an evolution. They are now something beyond Aragami.'' ''Hmm, fine. So, I can''t summon them out right now. But what about the wings they appeared? What is up with that?'' ''I am not sure'' Gayathri replied ''But I can take a guess. Certain Shinigami with extremely dense Spiritual Pressure have sometimes shown various unique phenomena with their Spiritual Pressure. Such as creating an elemental domain of Fire or Ice, Manifesting their Killing intent into a Visible form, etc.'' ''Yours might be a similar phenomenon,'' She continued ''Maybe a manifestation of your inner desires. You might have wanted to break through the chains that bound you in your previous life. These wings might be a representation of the freedom you have obtained now.'' ''It is all a conjecture at this point'' Eru sighed ''Thanks either way Gayathri. I am glad I have you to look after me.'' ''Haha, it is alright. It is not a bad feeling to be able to fuss over someone, maybe like a little brother.'' Eru smiled as he stopped his chat with her and made his way back home. He was done with his work for the day and this time he had received payment in money instead of barter as they already had enough food and water for a week. As he reached near his home, he felt something was wrong. He could sense a foul presence in the air, similar to what he might feel from one of the larger Aragami if they had a presence in the first place. He boosted himself with his energy manipulation ability and sprinted the rest of the way home. He reached in just a few seconds and saw a hulking monstrosity of a being with an enormous head grinning and walking towards the Kudo Twins. Fujimaru was already hurt, multiple deep gashes could be seen on his chest. They looked like they were done with a set of really long nails, and Eru already found the culprit ¨C it was the monster with its long nails dripping with the Kudo Blood. Seeing the near-fatal blow on Fujimaru and the expression of despair on Matsuri''s face, Eru completely lost his composure. His entire vision was filled with red as he raised his Spiritual Pressure to the max and dashed towards the twins. Arriving in front of them, he turned and faced the monster, covering them behind him protectively. He growled like an animal as the Spiritual Energy in the surrounding rushed towards him in the form of a whirlpool. Eru''s arrival generated different emotions in everyone. Matsuri was happy and relieved as she softly spoke to Fujimaru, telling him of Eru''s arrival and urging him to hold on for a little while. The monster, on the other hand, was both angry and amused. "Heh-Heh! Aren''t you all the little heroes now?" the monster snickered, "First, that one jumps to protect his sister without having any power. Now, you think you can protect those two, now that you have gained a bit of power, Huh, blue-haired freaky kid. Think you can protect them, do you?" Eru didn''t say anything as he got into a fighting stance. The monster didn''t like that as it snarled in response. "I am going to enjoy devouring you all. First you with the explosive spiritual pressure, you will be the main course. Then those twin delicacies will be the best dessert ever. I am quite the connoisseur of rare and unusual souls you see, that''s how I grew so powerful. Oi, which one of you twins is the eldest, you the girl or your half-dead brother over there? Heh-Heh! Doesn''t matter, I will eat you all up either way--" "You should see if I agree first !!" Eru said and he attacked. The monster and Eru rushed towards each other, looking like a clash between an elephant and a wolf. The monster clawed towards Eru, its long nails shining in a dark light. Eru gathered his energy in his fist and punched out. As the claw and fist clashed, they were both equally matched. Before they could have a second round, Eru saw two adults rushing towards him. Two of them wore a white haori over their black shihakusho. When they arrived, red-headed one in the lead of the duo sent a lightning blast at the monster. The monster saw that its opportunity was lost and got pissed. "Hmph, these guys are too powerful for me right now. Heh, you three are lucky bastards, I sense overwhelming spiritual pressure from them which is even more than this abnormal kid''s. Remember my name kids! Mad Eater will be back one day to make a meal of your souls. Keep yourselves alive till then. Heh! Heh! Heh!" The monster laughed darkly as it opened a space rift and disappeared into it.

"I don''t sense it anymore" Urahara interjected "Must have had a way of escape planned. Not an ordinary hollow. Huh?" Urahara exclaimed in surprise as he saw Matsuri coming towards them with Fujimaru in her arms with Eru following behind them, his eyes still in a swirl of red patterns. Eru stayed a few steps behind her, watching the two Soul Reapers carefully. He didn''t know anything about this world, and the gifts from the gods helped make him stronger but he knew he was not strong enough to threaten the ones in front of him. He could feel that he was currently only strong enough to ward off the monster he was previously fighting. But in front of these professionals, he could see the difference. Even though he had a lot of fighting experience, his body was not strong enough to pull off the benefit of those experiences to the max. That being the case, he could only watch and be careful right now. He didn''t want to be considered a threat then disposed, because he knew he wouldn''t last a second against these two right now. Captain Suzunami and Captain Urahara glanced at Eru for a few moments in worry, they didn''t know if the power he displayed was in control or spontaneous. But seeing him walking carefully while assessing the two of them confirmed it that he was in complete control of them. They realized that this meant he was a genius of the highest caliber who had Soul Pressure rivaling that of a captain while not even having any experience or skill or even having his Zanpakuto. Once he had all that, he would be unrivaled amongst the Shinigami. Suzunami dragged his attention to the injured boy then. The wounds were extremely deep, in some areas they had nearly gone through the boy. Urahara too grimaced next to him. Normal healing spells would be ineffective to him even if they got multiple healers to do it. But the issue was that there was no way so many soul reapers can even be persuaded to help a vagrant soul from Rukongai, especially one from the Inuzuri district. Inuzuri District had seen the most amount of rogue Soul Reapers who awakened naturally and created chaos in Soul Society. Due to this, most soul reapers were averse to the residents of this district and would often get into conflicts with them. "The Hollow got him, Didn''t he?" Suzunami asked softly. The way the girl carried him reminded Suzunami of his own elder sister and the trouble they faced as kids. Matsuri glared at them and said stubbornly "He is still alive." Suzunami could only admire her courage, yet it was clear to him that there was no way for the Soul Reapers to help the boy. Urahara pondered on how the kid got the wound when they had that blue-haired kid to fight for them ''The blue-haired kid must have probably been absent when the moster attacked. The wounds of this kid are deep and nasty, the Hollow was going for the kill someone... ah the sister, He must have protected her. Brave boy, However, don''t think he is going to make it. Wounds are worse than anything Soul Reaper medical techniques can cure.'' Matsuri was scared when she saw a sad look on the two Soul Reapers but she stubbornly insisted her previous statement "He is still alive!!" Eru came forward, patting Matsuri''s shoulder to calm her, then turned to the Soul Reapers and asked "Can Fujimaru be saved?" "It''s your call Captain Suzunami, you decide what to do. What do you think we should do?" Urahara passed the initiative to Suzunami. Suzunami and Matsuri both looked at each other as if communicating with the depth of their souls. Suzunami could see the determination and depth of love she had for her brother. It reminded him of the painful childhood where his elder sister had to face the harshness of Soul Society just to let him grow up without any problems. Suzunami finally made the decision to take the risk and expose the secret he had been keeping all his life, "Urahara, you take care of the girl and the blue-haired boy, I will carry the injured boy" Urahara was shocked, he believed that Suzunami will be gently letting the girl know that her brother was beyond saving. He never imagined that Suzunami would have a way to save the kid. If he really did have a method to heal such fatal injuries then why did the Soul Society not know about it? What was he hiding?
