[System prompt: Detected that the Bamboo module and the Cherry Blossom module have an overlap of more than 70%. Do you wish to merge them?]
"...What?"
Hearing this unfamiliar notification, Fang Mo was stunned.
He had always thought that this system could only download modules and then integrate them into his MC world, just like how the old-timers combined their clients.
But what's this merging function?
Perhaps Fang Mo hesitated for too long because the system repeated the previous message again.
[System prompt: Detected that the Bamboo module and the Cherry Blossom module have an overlap of more than 70%. Do you wish to merge them?]
"Hmm..."
Fang Mo pondered for a moment.
Currently, his strength mainly came from the Tinker' Construct , and the various divine tools he won from the lottery. He didn't play much with the Bamboo and Cherry Blossom modules, only occasionally using the stone mill and bamboo.
This so-called module fusion, at its worst, would just result in the disappearance of both modules, a consequence he could bear.
However, so far, his system had never let him down, so the probability of the modules disappearing was low. More likely, some unknown new feature would be unlocked, which could be a good thing.
With this thought, Fang Mo nodded in agreement.
"Alright, let's give the merge a try."
As soon as Fang Mo finished speaking, a prompt sounded from the system.
[System prompt: The Bamboo module and the Cherry Blossom module are starting to merge.]
Since it was his first time merging modules, Fang Mo had no idea how long it would take. Considering the significant impact from his previous battle with Kuchiki Byakuya, he decided to leave this place for now.
However, just as Fang Mo was about to leave, he immediately saw a pale green object flying from the horizon, with what seemed like several people sitting on it.
Even though Fang Mo's perception of spiritual pressure was poor, he could still sense several powerful auras. It was evident that the Soul Society had noticed the disturbance here, and several captains had come directly to provide support.
"..."
Upon seeing this, Fang Mo couldn't help but want to mockingly comment.
In the original story, Kurosaki Ichigo also wreaked havoc in the Soul Society, slashing his way from the White Road Gate all the way to the Repentance Palace. Along the way, he took a detour to master his Bankai, then continued his rampage to the Twin Death Hills.
From ordinary soldiers, third seats, vice captains, and even captains, many fell under his blade.
Take, for instance, the captain of Squad 11, Zaraki Kenpachi. His battle with Kurosaki Ichigo caused significant damage to the surrounding buildings, yet the Soul Society didn't react much at all.
But when Fang Mo just took care of Byakuya Kuchiki, all the captains suddenly showed up.
So, Kurosaki Ichigo can wreak havoc at will, but he can't?
Honestly, the more Fang Mo thought about it, the more he felt something was fishy.
If he continued his rampage, would even the Zero Squad come down to apprehend him?
"Alright, there's a conspiracy, huh?"
Fang Mo said while carving on a stone with a murderous intent, "Watch me expose a millennium-long conspiracy for you..."
In just a brief moment, Fang Mo finished his carving.
Seeing a creature flying towards him from a distance, he immediately drank a bottle of invisibility potion.
The moment he drank the potion, Fang Mo's body vanished completely. He then proceeded towards the ruins, even brushing past the creature in mid-air.
Fang Mo looked up at the creature.
This pale green creature looked like a huge ray with a single eye on its head.
It was the initial release of the fourth squad captain, Unohana Retsu's Zanpakuto, named Minazuki. Its ability is to swallow people, and as long as they're still alive, they'll be fully healed when spit out.
Clearly, Unohana Retsu came to rescue someone.
Apart from her, seated on Minazuki was a silver-haired man with a gleeful smile, a middle-aged man in a floral coat, a coughing frail white-haired man, a cold-looking petite woman, a white-haired boy, and a gentle-looking man with glasses.
It's worth noting that,
while Fang Mo was observing them,
the bespectacled gentle man suddenly frowned.
"Hm?" He seemed to sense something and glanced in Fang Mo's direction, though he saw nothing and didn't even sense any spiritual pressure.
"Aizen, what's wrong?"
The man in the floral coat noticed and asked him.
"No, it's nothing." Aizen replied, shaking his head slowly, "Let's go check on Captain Kuchiki first, his spiritual pressure is fading."
Seeing this, Fang Mo was somewhat surprised.
Indeed, Aizen deserved his status as the big boss. His strength was truly formidable, as he could faintly sense Fang Mo's presence.
To be known, the MC's invisibility potion, once activated, completely conceals the user's presence. The person who drinks it instantly becomes invisible, and all forms of aura vanish simultaneously. Even infrared and X-ray detection are rendered useless against the user.
The only limitation of this potion is that it only makes the body invisible.
Except for one's body, clothing and equipment can't be made invisible.
But Fang Mo wasn't wearing any clothes, okay?
After acquiring the ability of Custom Steve, all his appearances and clothing were illusions created by the ability.
Even the armor Fang Mo wore was enhanced with a tool from the Tinker' Construct called 'Invisibility Ink,' making it invisible. So, unless he wielded a weapon, not even deities could see him.
Yet, even in such a state,
Aizen could still faintly sense something.
Fang Mo felt that it might be because of his gaze. When he observed them, he was quite brazen, somewhat like Jiraiya peeping at female ninjas in the bath. It would serve him right if he got caught.
Shaking his head, Fang Mo did not continue to pay attention to these people.
He turned around and left directly.
After all, the cat had run away. Could there be anything more important than finding the cat?
Especially when the cat was a... black cat.
Not long after Fang Mo left, several team leaders finally arrived at the Repentance Palace. They quickly found the severely injured Byakuya Kuchiki.
"This... Captain Kuchiki is injured to this extent?"
Seeing Byakuya's injuries, everyone was clearly shocked. The Fourth Division Captain Retsu Unohana quickly controlled Minazuki to swallow Byakuya and treat him.
While infusing spiritual power, Unohana said with a frown, "I didn't expect this group of Ryoko to be so dangerous."
"Yes, they are very strong indeed."
The silver-haired man, or the Third Division Captain, Gin Ichimaru, chimed in with a smile, "It seems we all need to be careful, or we might get killed by the Ryokos."
"Captain Ichimaru Gin, you were the first to encounter the Ryoko, right?"
Aizen glanced at Ichimaru and suddenly said.
"Yes," Gin replied with a smile, "That's why I said they are very strong."
"You faced such a powerful Ryoko and weren't injured at all," Aizen said with a frown. "Everyone has seen Captain Kuchiki's strength, but he was injured like this, while you were unharmed. Captain Ichimaru, don't you think you should explain?"
"Oh?"
Gin's face still had a smile, but his demeanor became icy, "Are you saying... you suspect me, the Captain of the Third Division?"
"I will investigate everything thoroughly."
Aizen said calmly while looking at Gin.
"Hehehe..."
Gin laughed, but before he could say anything, a voice suddenly rang out, "Come here and see, cough... cough... someone carved a line of words on this stone wall..."
Hearing the words of another captain, Jūshirō Ukitake, everyone turned their attention to the stone wall nearby.
Even so, a certain white-haired boy took note of the tension between Gin and Aizen. He planned to remind his childhood friend to stay away from Gin.
Shaking his head, the white-haired boy also curiously looked at the stone wall.
Then he saw the words written on it.
"The glory of the Quincy will be engraved on the ruins of the Seireitei. Long live His Majesty Yhwach."
