I know that some of you don't like that Senjumaru has a system or that this part of Bleach is boring since the MC is not getting stronger ... well I agree with you. It can be seen as boring for the MC, but that's not what this Arc is about. It was for me to introduce the FML and make her stronger.

That's also why the MC went to Solo Levelling... apart from the Shadow Monarch of course. After Bleach, we won't see the system in Senjumaru again. She won't need it afterwards. But I'm just having far too much fun with this. So at least try to enjoy it.

[SPECIAL QUEST:

BECOME THE DIVINE WEAVER! (2)

!!!COMPLETE!!! ||

__________________________________________________

(Senjumaru POV)

I was standing there letting the situation sink in for a moment. Finally ... I had finally defeated this dungeon and killed Doflamingo and his crew. It was much harder than the first Special Quest was. And technically I was indeed weaker than the pirate, but not by so much to warrant my first few losses. It was not about anything physical at the moment. It was about my mental strength and conviction.

It was for me to understand what I truly wanted. I had to realise my beliefs and what it means to stand and fight for them. I also realised my pride. Pride in becoming the Divine Weaver and standing next to Hades. Because to stand next to him, means that you have to be strong and that strength can only be wielded by those with the pride to carry it. Otherwise, you will fear your power.

No, I am interested to see what my rewards are going to be.

|REWARDS:

- 1. GAIN 1 SPECIAL ITEM 

- 2. BONUS STATS +20

- 3. UNDISCLOSED REWARD|

.

I accept the first reward.

|1. GAIN 1 SPECIAL ITEM.

ITEM NAME: RUNESTONE.|

I see. I gained a Runestone. That is a stone that contains a skill of any kind. So I gained a skill. So let's see the Runestone.

Runestone: Thread/String Manipulation

...

What? The skill that I have been working so hard for is ... Thread/String manipulation? That's just ... *Sigh* I feel ripped off. At least let me see the skill first before I complain. Hades has never let me down with these rewards. I take the Runestone into my hand and crush it. Then a notification appears.

|SKILL: THREAD/STRING MANIPULATION (LV.1) GAINED

- USERS CAN CREATE, SHAPE AND MANIPULATE ALL SORTS OF THREADS AND STRING. THIS GRANTS THE USER THE POTENTIAL TO MANIPULATE AND CREATE STRINGS THAT RANGE FROM SIMPLE THREADS THAT MAKE UP CLOTHES TO MUCH HIGHER DEGREES LIKE: THE RED STRING OF FATE OR QUANTUM STRINGS.

THE POTENTIAL IN THIS SKILL IS BOUNDLESS

.

NOTICE: USER ALREADY UNLOCKED SKILL: THREAD/STRING MANIPULATION ON HER OWN. COMPENSATION BEING CALCULATED ...

COMPENSATION CHOICES:

1. +50 LV. TO SKILL THREAD/STRING MANIPULATION 

2. +100 AP

3. GRADE C WEAPON OF USERS CHOICE|

__

I see now. So I unlocked this skill in the last moments of my fight with Doflamingo. So I was able to control his strings that way. I am surprised about the potential of this skill. It's said that it has boundless potential. I thought I had the power to seal my enemies with my Bankai and sew their fates. But it would seem ... that I am not doing that on a grand scale. Also ... what are quantum strings?

Now for the compensation... I don't think that the +50 LV is a good idea. Using threads and strings is almost all I do, all the time, so levelling up to LV 50 is not that amazing. Although it doesn't say to level 50, but +50 levels. That means that the skill could already be at level 100 and it would then add 50 to that.

I know that the second option is bad and I am not interested in that. The grade C weapon ... I don't know. Grade C seems very low. Although ... I have to think on a grander scale. What would a Zanpakuto's grade be? A? or maybe B?

I think I will take the first option. It is a gamble but I just don't feel like a weapon would suit me that much. For now, I'll pick option one.

|1. +50 LV. TO SKILL: THREAD/STRING MANIPULATION 

THREAD/STRING MANIPULATION LV.122|

Interesting. So that means that I was only at level 72 concerning the String manipulation. I wonder what the scale is for me only being at that level before. There have to be some truly powerful string users out there. Also ... this feeling and understanding of strings I just gained ... it's marvellous. That changes things. I can see that I was indeed quite crude in the use of my strings.

But now let me collect my second and third rewards.

|2. BONUS STATS +20 RECEIVED|

Well, that is very unsatisfying. But I guess I can't complain. Now finally to the last and final step. If the last quest told me anything, then this should once again be a dungeon key. I wonder what this will be.

.

| UNDISCLOSED REWARD: ITEM

NAME: Jolyne Cujo - Dungeon Key

ITEM CLASS: F

TYPE: KEY

DESCRIPTION: A key that allows you to create an instant dungeon containing Jolyne Cujo from the world of JoJo's Bizarre Adventures. Jolyne as a Stand user, has the power to unravel her body into string and freely manipulate it. |

Well isn't that interesting? This dungeon key is one level below the one before it. The last one was an E-ranked dungeon, and this one is an F-ranked one. So that means it should be easier to do, but why is this the third dungeon key I gained? Why not give me this one before the Doflaimgno one?

I think I know why. It must be that the mental challenge was what made the last one so hard. That or the skill of this woman makes this challenge harder than it seems? I don't really know whether defeating her is part of the next Special Quest, but it stands to reason that it is.

So I was correct. The next Special Quest is not truly hard. Although only using my strings is not easy. And I'm not allowed to move as well. This means I truly have to defend myself well with my strings. That will be hard because as soon as she makes me move, I lose the quest. This one shouldn't be hard, I think.

(Hades POV)

I was sitting in my garden when these two came and began to bicker with each other.

"I was here before you, so that means that I have the right to train with him. Why do you even come here? Did my last beating demoralise you so much?", Furōfushi asked.

"Are you mad? I clearly almost beat you, so get in line. I am your senior and knew Gojo-sensei much sooner than you did.", Nobutsuna argued.

"You didn't almost beat me! I allowed you to tie with me and that is all there is to it. So why don't you get your ugly visage out of here before I do it for you?", the small woman said to the overly large man.

Their height difference usually made this a fun spectacle to watch but today I was just not in the mood for their bickering. If something didn't happen soon, I might leave the Bleach world again for a short trip to another Universe. I heard that Rick Sanchez from dimension C-137 finally killed Rick Prime. That might be an interesting talk I could have with him. After all ... everyone that dies ... eventually comes to me.

"That's enough you two. If you wish to train then you both can do that at the same time. There should be more than enough room in the training facilities for both of you. And if you wish to spar, then you can do that as well. If you kill yourself, however ... then don't do that on my property. Is that understood?", I tell them.

"Yes!", "Yeah"

"Good, now what is it that you two wish to train?", I asked them.

They look at me like they have never seen such a handsome man ... even though they have just yesterday when they were here.

"What is it?", I ask them.

"Well ... we're just surprised. Normally you are the one to tell us what we still lack.", Nobutsuna said.

"Yeah, what he said."

"I see. Well, you see I am not in a very good mood today. So I thought that you could train either with each other or with the mannequins.", I tell them.

"Oh? ~Does someone have a heartache?~", Furōfushi asks coyly.

This makes me raise one of my eyebrows at her.

"I don't know where you get your confidence from, but I guess I could put you two through the wringer for a while."

This makes them sweat and scared. However, it is too late for them to get out of it now and Hades makes them wish they hadn't come today.

.

.

(Furōfushi POV)

"Oh my Hades ... that was brutal.", I say with my face buried in the towel I'm lying on. After the training, Kikimaru and Fujin both took us to our respective areas in the spa and helped clean ourselves. Although we had to do it ourselves, the two only brought us all that we could ever need. Nobutsuna and I knew better than to disrespect the two Zanpakuto who acted as a butler and a maid for Hades.

That only happened once.

.

(Flashback)

Nobutsuna and I had just finished Our fighting session and were now relaxing in the sleeping area of the Spa. We had never heard of something like this. A place where you could just relax and enjoy your time? That was a new concept to us. Usually, we slept in the blood and gore of our enemies and didn't have a problem with that. Nobutsuna was even worse as he used poison that corroded his enemies and that stench would never go out of his clothes.

But today was bound to be different. We were allowed to use the facilities by Eimin and he told us to follow the servants. I didn't even bother to memorize their names. I only respect power and these two, obviously don't have any.

As the female leads me to my area, the man led Nobutsuna to his area. I was not able to hear what these two were saying but I know that Nobutsuna is not friendly. He can't be friendly it's not in his nature to be. but I am the same I guess.

I take a bath and then I'm led to a ... 'quiet' area. The girl woman says that it is an area where you are supposed to be quiet.

"We are here, Miss Shigyō. Master Gojo has created this area to be a silent area. It is meant for you to sleep or simply relax. You may also have some warm tea or a small snack if you so desire. I would be happy to bring it for you.", she says. I despise her small smile. I feel like she is insulting me or looking down on me for not knowing about these things.

.

I can see Nobutsuna walk into the silent area as well. He looks as confused as I am. After a moment of looking around, he sits down and then just waits for something. After a moment the male servant walks in and hands Nobu his ... tea? I'm not sure what that is. Nobu takes it and sniffs for a moment. Then he has a disgusted look on his face and turns around to the servant.

"What is THIS?", he asks him.

"I beg your pardon, sir."

"Are you trying to poison me? Heh? Do you think you can brew me this shit of a tea and then call yourself a servant?"

"I apologise dearly, Sir. I'll change it right-"

"You will do no such thing! Someone as weak as you should be thankful to lick my feet and yet here you are looking me in the eyes and serving me this shit. And you call yourself a servant?", Nobutsuna asks and actually hits the man. He hits him in the stomach and sends him to the floor.

*BOOOM*

A monstrous pressure falls on both of us. I have never felt something like this. I feel like I am dying. No ... I am dying. I can see my body slowly dissolving into Reishi due to the pressure. I feel my bones crack and blood vessels burst. But I'm not even the one who is getting the worst of it.

Nobu ... he is lying on the floor with his face kissing the ground. I can see blood around him. The sudden attack must have taken him by surprise. But I know only someone who could do that ...I look to the entrance of the room and see him standing there ... with his hands behind his back and an emotionless face that just makes all of my senses go haywire. Eimin ... oh oh.
