Chapter 928 Not the Future They Knew

"By the way, what is the Gasper-kun of the future trying to achieve by contacting the past? Is he hoping to make it easier for them?", asked Sakura.

Kisuke shook his head, [That's impossible. I don't know his motives, but any attempt to change the 'past' will not do anything in their future since we are essentially living in different worlds. If they change something here, it'll be our future and not theirs.]

"In other words, the Gasper Vladi of the future is not the Gasper Vladi of today?"

[Exactly. While they may be the same in a sense, they are inhabitants of two different worlds that resemble one another.] Kisuke couldn't help but make a wry smile, [But seriously... Future Gasper-kun is opening a can of extremely poisonous worms and I doubt he's doing this out of kindness. There's probably a hidden message in the information he sent back.]

"A hidden message you say... Are you saying that information about our invaders is not the real goal here?"

[Could be, but I'm just blindly guessing at this point.]

"But what could that hidden message be? Tell me your best guess."

[Since informing the 'past' is already risky enough, there's probably a bigger issue that he's trying to convey that he can't explicitly reveal. If I were to guess, someone from their world is probably trying to go to this world, thinking that they'll be changing something. It's a common misconception about time traveling, after all.]

Sakura thought about it for a moment before saying, "So you guessed that Gasper-kun's real intention is to say that they exist?"

[That's about right.]

Kisuke finished his call with his mother and soon he was approached by Azazel and Sirzechs, "You've been receiving a lot of calls these days. How are you even making contact outside? Ajuka has been bothering us about how you're doing this since he can't figure it out." The former commented.

Kisuke smiled and replied, "Let's just say that we have different sets of technology that we both developed~ How's the situation with Trihexa?"

Azazel shrugged his shoulders while Sirzechs answered his question, "It can only use a small fraction of its power and it can't divide itself like before. Thanks to that, we have a lot of breathing room and at this rate, we'll only need a few centuries to kill it. But will your seal last that long?"

"I don't know." Kisuke shook his head, "We all know that the Trihexa has some form of adaptability so even if we supply the seal with all of its needs or renew it, it'll eventually break it, and if we still haven't found a way to suppress it by that time, we'll technically be wasting all the time we invested in this."

He then looked at them closely before continuing, "And do we really have time for this when there's something else about to come down? You know you can't afford to be stuck in here unless you're expecting everyone else outside to deal with a problem that's honestly making the threat Trihexa poses childish."

Azazel and Sirzechs became silent.

During that silence, Kisuke began muttering as if talking to himself, "And that really makes me wonder though. Why are you acting like you have all the time in the world? I don't think you are being irresponsible... But the only thing I could think of is that you know when our 'guests' are going to arrive. But how is that possible?"

Kisuke's musing sent a cold wind behind the listeners but they didn't show anything obvious.

"As much as we want to solve the Trihexa problem, we don't have a way to do it." Azazel scratched his head, "If you have something in your mind, we're listening."

Azazel was only saying that to divert the flow of conversation and was not expecting Kisuke's next words.

"I do have an idea to solve this problem~!" Kisuke replied while still carefully watching their expression, "More specifically, I'm acquainted with someone who knows how and is more equipped to deal with it. Honestly, passing this problem to her is the most logical thing to do since it came from her in the first place."

Azazel and Sirzechs were speechless, "W-what are you talking about?" asked the former with a doubting tone.

But instead of answering, Kisuke just continued his musing, "But before we can do that, I'll first need to help her break out of her prison... How troublesome."

"Wait. Kisuke Urahara. Please clarify what you said just now." Pleaded Sirzechs. Since there are so many things to unpack from that short muttering of his, he could only ask broadly.

"Well, I've already talked to Issei-kun and Vali-kun about this." Still, Kisuke refused to provide any information.

And before they could dig any further, Kisuke returned the conversation back from Azazel's derailment, "But let's set that aside for now and talk about what you guys know. Why are you so relaxed?"

Kisuke had already observed them long enough and before he even received the call from his mother, he'd already noticed that they were not as hurried as him. He thought that it was just him seeing things as scary due to his personality but now it made a lot more sense.

After that question, there's still no apparent reaction from the both of them so Kisuke continued, "It's as if you know when they are coming. How intriguing~ Even from my own investigations, that's not the conclusion I'm getting. Am I missing something I should know?"

There's still no changes in their expressions, but Kisuke saw their eyes minutely shake. And the fact that they are not saying anything is all he needed. Smiling, he finally asked them directly, "What do you know about our enemies, Azazel-san, Sirzechs-sama?"

Another silence. But the fact that they are not denying it that they know something is enough for Kisuke considering the information they have, 'So this is the extent of what they could tell, huh... Well, I'm actually grateful.'

Kisuke's smile grew deeper as he now thought of something that could seriously mess their heads. Taking out several photos from his inventory, he handed them to the silent two.

Curious, Azazel and Sirzechs both received the photos but their contents were way outside of their expectations, "...What's this!?"

Chuckling, Kisuke replied, "What? You don't know?"

Depicted on these photos are carefully edited images of the two mechanical lifeforms that Claire's group encountered.

Azazel and Sirzechs looked at him with grave expressions.

Kisuke's grin grew more prominent, "Yes... They are already here."

'He already knows!' Azazel and Sirzechs both thought and began to panic.
