‘Choosing one side is the work of the weak; choosing all sides is my work.’ Akira Kisaragi the Kenpachi of 11th Division, the King of Las Noches and the Captain of 11th Tower

Could it be that Supreme Sage Akira-sama's true plan is to unite the 11th Division, Las Noches, and now Erste Vorhut into a single unit to overthrow Yamamoto Shingekuni Baldryusai, the Source of All Evil, to end the discrimination between the three races!

At this point, it's even possible that Akira suddenly wakes up Rinnegan and blows up the moon to save ‘Mommy’ Kaguya...

Akira: Big Brother! Yhwach: ...What? Akira: Let's avenge the event of 1,000 years ago by killing the bald demon and destroying Soul Society! No one can stop us!

This is precisely why I suggested in one of the earlier chapters that instead of freezing time, it might be better to write it as returning to the moment immediately after they left each time. There is no reason why something that can stop the entire time stream of LoTM can't stop corruption. And you are absolutely right on second points. LoTM's potions are basically diluted divinity, and there is nothing to prevent them from being consumed at Hogwarts. Even the Secret Supplicant was a good option, as he could drink the potion at Hogwarts; there is no True Creator living at Hogwarts and he could pray to Voldemort's soul fragment in the Diadem, which is much less dangerous to digest the potion. The same applies to the Listener potion. Back in Backlund, he could always ask for protection from Klein or Adam - or, if he was brave enough, from a nice postman who loved his job. Drinking the potion there and coming close to losing control was clearly a rather lazy way for Edward to join the Tarot Club.

Oh, sorry, it's my fault. English is not my main language, sometimes I misunderstood things. 😅

What I meant to say was that Occlumency was not created to counter Mr Door's whispers; it was a kind of mental exercise, the basis of which was complete control over one's own emotions, feelings, thoughts and memories. The incident between Edward and Mr Door is more like a cell mutating due to intense radiation exposure than Edward going mad from hearing Mr Door's voice. Edward is a piece of paper, Mr Door is the sun. Just getting too close to the sun is enough to turn that insignificant piece of paper into cosmic dust, and the sun will not even know about it. It is essentially a side effect caused by the difference in existential level between the two beings.

Occlumency is basically a technique that allows one to resist mental attacks by using one's will. It is a technique that allows one to suppress one's true emotions and feelings and create false emotions and memories. Spectator Pathway's ability to read and interfere with minds can be resisted to some extent, but Mr Door's whispers are not a mental attack. Mr Door's whispers are the voice of an almost godlike being. It carries no intention of active attack, but for mortal creatures just hearing His voice is too heavy a burden for their fragile mental and physical bodies to bear. Just as it is impossible to fill an ocean in a water balloon, an ordinary Seq 9 cannot hear the voice of Mr Door, a Quasi Seq 0.

One of the reasons the Tailed Beasts were sold to other nations was that after Hashirama died, Konoha would have no way to deal with the seven Tailed Beasts (the One Tail was in the hands of Sunagakure, and the Seven Tails were not captured by Hashirama). The reason why the Jinchūriki were the target of hatred and discrimination in all villages was because the Tailed Beasts inflicted enormous losses on the villages every time they got out of control. Nine Tails out of control would destroy nearly half of Konoha; if all the Tailed Beasts were out of control at once, Konoha would be destroyed. Other villages would only do their best to increase this probability. It didn't matter how many times they failed, the day they succeeded just once would be the day Konoha was destroyed.

I wonder, if I pay Klein enough, will he consecrate me as his Blessed?
