Zero Divison

(Gremmy POV)

Looking around the battlefield I can't help but think that I forgot about something ... nah, it'll be fine. I'll leave this stage here but take down the infinite space on top. The fights are still going on down there and I can't wait for what will happen now, that I killed Askin Nakk Le Varr. True he was a chill dude but staying there and observing me was just ... far too lethal for him.

Once again, I conjure a comfy seat for myself and something to eat. No need to involve myself in the fight anymore, at least down here. Yhwach has already gone up to the Soul King Palace and Ichigo didn't manage to stop him. Right now, the remaining Shinigami are fighting the remaining Sternritter and it seems like the turns have tabled ... how weird.

It looked like we Quincy were dominating this fight and wiping the floor with the Shinigami, but now, those who were defeated and thought dead are not only back, but far more powerful than before. Honestly, I am not that interested in the fights down here, although I have to say that there is something I always wanted to do ... hmm let's see first.

.

A flat-screen TV appears in front of me, showing me the live action in the Soul King Palace. There I see Kenjiro sweating cause he can't hit Yhwach. Ha, a classic.

"Out of ideas? Then I trust you'll let me pass.", Yhwach says to Kenjiro making me chuckle. He is so arrogant, I like it.

"H ... HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!!", Kenjirou shouts and attacks Yhwach again, trying to slice him, but his attack moves around doing absolutely nothing.

In front of Yhwach, Senjumaru Shutara appears with several Divine Soldiers. Honestly one of the top babes in this universe. I'm totally going to ask her out later.

"It has been quite some time ... Ywach. You dare to set foot in the royal palace without any invitation. I fear your victory over Genryuusai may have gone to your head.", Senjumaru says but naturally Ywach doesn't listen.

I stop watching there because I'll get there soon enough. For now, I want to try something out.

.

I arrive at the battlefield of the Zombies, between Giselle and Mayuri.

"AAHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

"This Zombie conversion seems to require different quantities of blood depending on the Reiatsu of the victim. Those with low Reiatsu will presumably be fully converted as soon as a single drop of blood reaches their brain ... but those with high Reiatsu will not be converted until the blood has infiltrated their heart, multiplied there and spread throughout their body.

That is why the captains have this dark-reddish hue to their skin. Correct? My medicine alters the composition of that blood.", Mayuri explains.

"... what?"

"I have in my possession blood samples from every soldier in Seireitei. Using these, I have created a drug that converts all other blood into a blood-like substance of my own creation."

"I don't have a clue what you're on about.", Giselle says.

"I'm sure you don't. Let me jump to the conclusion. By applying this medicine ... your Zombies ... will become my Zombies.", Mayuri reveals as the two Captains stand up from the ground and stop screaming.

"Thank you for your careful attention. You have lost this battle ... Zombie girl.", Mayuri says as one of the Captains stabs Giselle in the stomach.

...

"Poor Giselle. But I told you that it wouldn't be enough to just use canon fodder and throw it at the enemy. If you want to go that route, you need to create a truly powerful Zombie.", I say as I stand above Giselle.

"G-remmy ...", she stutters.

"My my, a new addition. How delightful of you to join us.", Mayuri says.

"I know. I always light up a party. That's why I'm the crowd favourite."

"Oh? Interesting."

I block an attack coming from the Captains.

"Yare yare. I was talking here, please don't interrupt.", I say and conjure a giant syringe.

I stab both of them with it and then pull the syringe full of their blood until they completely deflate and fall to the ground looking like two leaves.

"Now, that this is over, we can continue our discu-", I am interrupted as I feel Mayuri's Lieutenant attack me from the side. I swing my syringe around and have her stab herself on it, repeating the same process I did with the other two Captains.

"Oi oi, how unfriendly your subordinates are. But I see. You're not a true scientist."

"... what?"

"A true scientist would battle me with his inventions and while I admit this girl is impressive, it is not really what I was talking about. How about a wager?", I say with a smile.

"A wager, eh? And what could a brute like you give me that interested me? From what I see, you would surely lose."

"How about this? We both will use our potions, concoctions or other creations on one another. Whenever one of them takes the other out, he will automatically lose this fight and everything he has belongs to the other."

"An interesting proposition, but I don't think I'll agree to that.", Mayuri says.

"No? How disappointing. But it's just like Urahara said. The second smartest man in the Seireitei will stay the second smartest. Too bad."

"A pathetic attempt to get a reaction out of me. You will have to try better than that. But please continue to talk so that I can analyse your abilities and Reiatsu.", Mayuri says with a neutral expression.

"How scary. But alright. How about this then? You will be allowed to use all of our inventions on me while I will only use one. And what's more ... you may start.", I smirk evilly.

"Oh? How interesting. Do you think of yourself as good enough to survive all of my inventions? How arrogant of you."

"How about this? I'll even give you the one injection which I will use on you in advance so that you can study it.", I say and hold up the syringe with a white fluid inside it.

Now Mayuri doesn't say anything and looks at me and the syringe with narrowed eyes. I throw it towards him, but instead of catching it, he lets it fall to the ground. He analyses it and only then takes it into his hands. I see how he starts to slowly figure out what it does and then smiles.

"Oho, that is quite a nasty injection you have there. Alright. If you are honest about this bet, then how about taking this potion to prove your honesty?", Mayuri says and holds up a small pink potion and throws it towards me.

"Sure."

I grab it and drink it. I feel my perception change and understand what he did there. It doesn't matter though as I can't imagine anything affecting me.

"What else?", I ask him and he looks surprised.

"How about this one?", he asks.

I take the next one and then the next one. I drink or inject them into me as he is too cautious to do it himself. But as time passes, he gets more anxious as nothing affects me.

*Buuurp*

"Wow, that one was rather hot. What was in there?", I ask.

"Hm, how fascinating. You seem to be a black hole for any chemicals. Combined with what you did with that conjured syringe, I'd say your powers are of biological nature. But then again, I saw what you created back there when fighting against Kenpachi. Too bad that I didn't manage to gather any intel, but what I have here, should suffice.", Mayuri says.

"So anything else? Or is it my turn now?", I ask him and he narrows his eyes.

"You know I am thankful for your cooperation in taking the drugs I gave you. Not every day does a willing test subject present itself like you did. I created three different potions trying to simulate the effect of having your muscles grow and regenerate. It was not a very smart or important thing to do, but in the process of creating Nemu, it was an interesting side project. I found a way to speed up the muscle growth and regeneration but the problem was that I didn't know which one was the best, or what would happen if you consumed them simultaneously.

Now, that you were so kind as to drink all of them one after the other, I can finally observe the changes happening to you in real-time. Quite intriguing. And the effects should take place ... now."

My body begins to bloat. I feel my muscles grow and grow. Whenever something tears, it regenerates. My stomach, legs, chest and arms swell more and more. I start to look like a balloon and just as I am about to burst and explode into gore ...

*BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPP*

I burp and a tornado of air leaves my body, blowing away anyone standing in front of me. 

"Excuse me. Now I think it is my turn. How about you take that injection now?"

"I don't think that will happen. There are still a few things I want to try and-"

"Well then ... what's that in your arm?", I ask him.

He looks at his arm and sees the syringe sticking out with the injection already inside. He panics for a second and takes out something to counteract what is inside. He smiles slightly but is sweating hard. 

"You are a dangerous man are you not? But you would have to do more than that. I have more than one copy of each of my organs prepared for situations like this."

"I see. Well, that's impressive. But what does that have to do with anything? I didn't give you poison. You will not lose an organ. That wouldn't be special.", I say. 

"No? Then what else could I lose? My powers or movements? I have countermeasures for that in place.", Mayuri says. 

"Ah, but that's not it either. What you lose will be much more valuable than that."

"Huh? Wha-"

"You will lose your memories."

!!!

"Ever so slowly you will gradually lose more and more. Your first memories from your days as a young soul, to the days of the Gotei 13 and the first Quincy war and all of your scientific achievements ... everything. You will lose everything."

"no..."

"Thinking about it now ... it is a terrible fate for one such as you ... for anyone really."

I watch as he desperately tries to inject something but loses the memory of where it is he is looking for, then he loses the memory of how to use his muscles and slowly ... he loses his ability to breathe ...

*Thud*

"I did not see that coming. I thought he had some backup plan for this. Eh, I'm sure he does. Now, what to do?"

.

I feel like it is finally my turn to be summoned to the Royal Palace. I turn on the TV again and look at what is happening right now. My calculations seem to have been perfect for this. Senjumaru has just killed Nianzol Weizol.

"... Ah, yes. Weren't we just talking about bad habits? I have a bad habit myself that I cannot seem to get rid of. I always forget to remove the needles from my finished creations. Perhaps it is I ... who should apologise for not explaining properly.", Senjumaru says as Nianzol Weizol falls to the ground dead. 

"Now then ...", Senjumaru turns to Yhwach, "... maybe now our blades will be able to reach you."

"Do you think so?", Yhwach asks. 

That is the moment when I feel the call, coming from Yhwach. I decided to follow it, as it will get me closer to my goal and to the end of my stay in this universe. Together with three others, I rise from the shadow and appear in front of Yhwach. 

"My Royal Guards will be your opponents."

I look around and see Sternritter 'M' - The Miracle, Gerard Valkyrie; Sternritter 'X' - The X-Axis, Lille Barro; and Sternritter 'C' - The Compulsory, Pernida Parnkgjas.

Quite the impressive lineup. This will be fun.
