Chapter 1196 Reveal part 4

Seeing that Tiamat's chaotic aura was slowly destroying everything around her slowly, Kisuke thought for a bit before taking out a pure white simple double-edged dagger from his inventory and throwing it toward Tiamat.

Tiamat easily caught the dagger and as soon as she touched it, the raging chaotic black aura around her started receding until it disappeared as if it didn't exist in the first place, 'Hmm? Even though it's in a different form... Isn't this...' Tiamat inspected the dagger closely before saying, "Isn't this my tooth?"

"It's one of the things I prepared to deal with Chaos but ended up not using."

Tiamat placed her other hand on the dagger and immediately after, a lump of chaotic Magic Power covered it until it formed a black sheath and attached a black cord at the dagger's handle before wearing it on her neck, "So you retrieved my body and even purified it."

Kisuke shrugged his shoulders, "There's no way I'm going to leave something as valuable as that. And you're also overestimating me since it took me quite a while to purify just a single tooth. It might take me decades or centuries to do it for your entire body. On top of that, it's impossible for me to purify your soul."

"The fact it's even possible to do that on corrupted flesh such as mine is a testament to your skills.

"...Who are you?" Yamamoto asked with a careful tone. Although the aura she manifested felt very dangerous, it was also very weak. However, when his eyes landed on her, a distinct feeling of inferiority took hold of his heart which he had only felt from one other being, 'Soul King... She reminds me of the Soul King.'

It wasn't just Yamamoto who thought like this as everyone in this room had already met the Soul King at least once.

"I'm just Master's helper and nothing more," Tiamat replied as she made her way towards Kisuke.

"H-Helper?" Batsu'unsai muttered loudly. As she's the one with the most sensitive senses among the group, and even if suppressed, the air around Tiamat was still causing her heart to palpitate in nervousness and she was doing her best not to retaliate out of instinct.

But Tiamat ignored her and continued her way to Kisuke before stopping 3 feet from him. Although Kisuke was 6 feet tall, he looked short compared to Tiamat who's at least 6 feet 7 inches or 2 meters tall.

Tiamat silently stared at Kisuke with her pink eyes and a few seconds later, she muttered, "So that's how it is."

Kisuke was surprised, "You really found something?"

"What? You let me go without expecting anything?"

"No. I let you go while thinking about how to get you back."

"..."

"..."

Tiamat sighed and stared at Kisuke again. However, Kisuke felt that she was not looking at him and that feeling was soon confirmed when she suddenly said, "Come out. You've already revealed yourself the moment you tried looking into me."

Kisuke's brows immediately furrowed and the muscles on his body immediately became taut, 'Someone's inside me?' He then closed his eyes and entered his inner world.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw the same sea of blood and the blood-red five-tier traditional Japanese mansion. Kisuke wanted to check it, but a ball of white light suddenly started shining on top of it before it shot out to the darkness, leaving his inner world, 'What was that!?'

Kisuke hurriedly left his inner world and when he opened his eyes, he saw the same ball of white light hovering on top of everyone.

And like what everyone saw from Tiamat, the ball of light started expanding and formed an armless and legless man. At that point, everyone already knew who they were looking at.

"I-Impossible..." Choujirou muttered to himself.

But while the former members of the Gotei 13 are gawking, the corner of Kisuke's mouth is twitching, "Since when did you attach yourself to me?"

The light soon finished forming to the limbless Soul King and opened his four-pupiled eyes before answering with an indiscernible voice, "Since you created your so-called Hougyoku."

"So it has been a while..."

"Don't be surprised. I know you were already expecting this the moment I spoke to you upon your return."

"I didn't know where you were hiding though?"

"This will be the last time I'll be appearing before you as only a little bit of my intent is going to disappear after this so I'll answer your confusion." The Soul King stopped the small talk and became direct, "The moment you reveal your intentions is the moment this world will bless an individual or individuals to go against you to retain the status quo."

Upon hearing that, Ichigo immediately came into Kisuke's mind, "Then why stop me?"

Before the Soul King answered, his strange eyes glanced at the rest of the people, "Because I want you to succeed."

"...Why? Isn't this your own world?"

"Near my impending doom, I arranged a place where the smaller creatures could thrive, but only upon my death did I realize that I failed. This miserable failure then gave birth to something that shouldn't exist. To stop this failure from worsening, I gathered my scattering soul and used it to chain down this world. However, I know that is not going to last forever."

The Soul King's figure then began turning transparent. Not minding this, he turned his head towards Tiamat, "As long as she exists around you, this world won't be able to read your fate. You are now free to act."

Kisuke had a bad feeling and wanted to ask something, but before he could say anything, the Soul King's figure cracked and shattered into a million pieces before instantly disappearing, including his aura.

Dumbfounded, Kisuke stared at the blank space for a few moments before yelling, "Why does he always speak in riddles!? Does it hurt to be more specific!?"

Tiamat was surprised because this was the first time she saw him lose his cool. And when he suddenly turned his head towards her, she immediately avoided his gaze by turning to the side. After all, she did the same thing to him.

"Haah..." Kisuke let out a long breath and sat back down to calm himself, "It's really hard to read the intentions of those who are born Transcendents. They either don't know anything, or they see things from an entirely different perspective."

Tiamat sat down beside the grumbling Kisuke and said in an attempt to comfort him, "At least we made progress. It's much better than just guessing randomly."

Kisuke stayed silent for a few more minutes to arrange his thoughts and only after that did he finally pay some attention to the other people in the room, "Shall I reveal what I want now? The strange feeling has already disappeared."

As expected, Yamamoto was the first one to calm down and took back his seat, "Was that the real Soul King?"

"That was just a clump of residual intent, not the real thing. On top of that, I have no way of proving if that's really the Soul King either. His aura matches the one I know, though."

Of course, Kisuke knew that Yamamoto wanted to know if he just made up a ruse to make him appear more convincing. Sadly, Kisuke really has no way of proving if that was the Soul King as even he is skeptical of his identity, 'Not to mention, I'm still thinking on how he was able to hide himself inside me. I could use Benihime's help, but I can't bring her back right now. Not after all the effort she took to infiltrate the Onmitsukidou.'

"Hmmmm... Is that so... Then tell us what you want to happen." Yamamoto added after thinking for a bit.

"I want to create a nucleus for a new reincarnation system and connect it to another world for stability. Doing that will pull all the souls within the Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and world of the living below a certain threshold of Spiritual Power to this new system, essentially relieving the Shinigamis from their duties of guiding the dead, stopping any further Hollows from being born resulting in the Seireitei losing its power and influence."
