Chapter 99
"Yuuki-sama, looks like you're wide awake?" One of the lovely lady spoke to him. It was none other than s.h.i.+rayuki.
"Yes, we never expected you actually pa.s.sed out under this tree." The other one spoke after. s.h.i.+rayuki's lovely sister, Kuroyuki. When Yun Che looked at her, she was even more beautiful up close.
"s.h.i.+rayuki? Kuroyuki? Yeah, looks like I am that tired huh?" He remembered that he pa.s.sed out the moment he entered his inner world. When he thought about it, his mental strength was totally exhausted compare to his replenish-able energy. The thing is how long did he pa.s.sed out?
He noticed that he felt something soft underneath his head. "Is this…." When he felt it, it was really soft compared to a pillow. He wouldn't mind lying on this kind of softness anytime.
Seeing his reaction, s.h.i.+rayuki smiled. "Yuuki-sama, how's our lap pillow? Pretty soft right? You can enjoy this anytime you want."
"If s.h.i.+rayuki wouldn't mind. I wouldn't as well. But you look so peaceful when you're sleeping." Kuroyuki slowly said with her soothing voice.
s.h.i.+rayuki continued. "But, Nee-sama. He looked like he was enjoying them."
When he realized it, s.h.i.+rayuki and Kuroyuki were sitting next to each other. As for him, his head was between s.h.i.+rayuki's right leg and Kuroyuki's left leg. No wonder it was softer. He slowly smiled and said "Yeah, it is softer than any pillow. Wouldn't mind doing it again."
"Mou...Yuuki-sama, you're a smooth talker. No wonder these girls really like you."
As for him, he just smiled at them but couldn't help feel his torso was a lot heavier from before. When he looked at it, he found the very reason. Looks like those little girls of him were sleeping right on top of his chest. Mizu was on the right side and Kaze on the other sleeping with their bellies touching his own. Of all the places they could sleep, they slept on his chest and their head was on the crook of his neck breathing on it. His arms were taken by both Hebi and Saru by put it between their chest. Even they also pa.s.sed out from the trial. Well, he did use both of their bankai and that beam. He admit that their chest felt softer but he didn't come here to enjoy this.
Even in here he can't even sleep on his own without his girls jumping on him. Not that he mind but sometimes he really wanted to sleep alone for a change.
"For you to pa.s.sed out in here, Yuuki-sama. Must be tiring in the outside world."
"Not really, the reason I came in here was to switch Zanpakuto but the peaceful air in here makes me tired all of a sudden."
"Took you a while to wake up." He s.h.i.+fts his head towards the source of the voice and immediately saw Jasmine staring at him from behind s.h.i.+rayuki and Kuroyuki.
"Haha, sorry. I pa.s.sed out." He smiled tiredly.
Jasmine turned her head from him and said "Hmph, get yourself back together. You still have to face the second trial."
"Haha, I guess I better get going. That trial might took a while."
Jasmine turned her head towards him. "A while? Hoo, what is the second trial?"
"You'll see. By the way, that was a short nap."
"Short? You pa.s.sed out for ten hours. How is that short?"
"TEN!??! Man, those girls are going to kill me. All right, you lots.. Rise and s.h.i.+ne ladies…" He suddenly shouted earning a jolt from the rest of his sleeping girls.
Mizu was the first one to get up and yawn. "Hmmmm, Onii-chan. That was a nice nap."
"That's right. That right. Naps are the best." Kaze awakened while yawning as well.
"More like he slept the whole day. I'll wait outside." Jasmine said while she shook her head. She didn't want to admit that she too had her rest in her own room as well taking a bath at the onsen. She sighs before disappears into the outside world.
"Hnn, five more minutes." Both Satu and Hebi said at the same time tightening the hug around his arms.
"These girls. Hai..hai… wake up you two. You're getting drool all over my arm."
"Mou..master… you should know better when waking up a sleeping girl." Hebi slowly said while yawning.
"Sorry about that, I am already ten hours late." He said while petting their soft heads. As he gets up, he didn't forget to thank the snow sisters for letting him use their laps. Its not every day a girl would put his head on their lap willingly.
As he gets up, he slowly floats to his floating spirit orbs before tapping Zangetsu's...o...b.. This time, he really needed Zangetsu for his second trial. He didn't forget to stock up a much divine water as possible because this time, it'll be more than 1000 opponents he is going to face.
"Master, aren't you forgetting something?" He turned his head and saw Saru and Hebi were fidgeting as if they were waiting for something.
"What did I forget?"
Both Saru and Hebi went towards him before pointing their rosy lips towards him. "We're ready."
"…. d.a.m.n, I forgot." He said internally. s.h.i.+rayuki was pouting because they get to kiss him first and Kuroyuki sighs as she comforted her. Both Saru and Hebi had a look of triumph as they managed to steal a head start from them. Mizu and Kaze didn't know anything as they too pointing their lips following them.
He pulls a deep breath before moving slowly towards them. He can also sense that these two are nervous despite being bolder than a marker all the time. But promise is a promise. Both of the girls were awaiting nervously for the arrival of that kiss. This time, they could finally deepen the bond between them and maybe go….
*Chuu
"Ehh?"
Both of them feel a peck on top of their forehead and immediately opened their big eyes. They saw their master actually giving them a kiss on the forehead instead of their lips. Feeling disappointed, they suddenly shouted...
"Master!!! That's it?"
Yun Che kept a straight face before pointing out his tongue. "Hee, you girls should be specific when you told me to kiss you. You didn't say where."
"Muuu, that's mean. Teasing us like this."
"Sorry… See you later." He shouted before giving the same thing to Mizu and Kaze making them giggling with happiness. Such innocence. s.h.i.+rayuki let out a breath of relief as their master didn't do it on the lips. She wanted to be the first spirit who landed her lips on his and she won't let anyone steal the first place. As he said that, he disappeared entirely before the other two could react.
...…
Azure Dragon Trial Realm
Yun Che awaken from his slumber seeing the Azure Dragon still floating above him observing him the entire time. Jasmine had long reappeared and sat at the edges observing the scenery from the top of the tower.
"Took you a while."
"Yeah, those girls are handful. Well, I managed to switch my Zanpakuto. That's all that matters." As he said that, he suddenly pulls out Zangetsu from his inner world and unwraps it. That Khyber shaped blade is really impressive no matter how much time he was used to it.
The Azure Dragon widen its eyes seeing Yun Che drew a different weapon. It felt different type of power coming out from the sword but almost similar to his previous extending sword. "Hooo, a different weapon this time? Is it the same spirit from before?"
Yun Che swinging Zangetsu casually before saying "Nope, that one is Snake and Baboon twin spirit. This time, I am using a different spirit.
"Different, how many spirit you have inside that body of yours?"
"Hmm, Four types. For now,"
"….." The Azure Dragon was speechless. Even if it lived as a G.o.d from the primordial era, it never even heard a G.o.d able to control four different types of powers. Even one of them is fairly devastating. If Jasmine said each of his spirit has its own full power. Then, how many more he can control in the future?
Unaware of the things as usual, he casually said "Now, then. So what is the second trial."
The Azure Dragon regained its composure before replying "The second trial is a bit longer compared to the first one. This trial is you must defeat 99,999 spirit beast in under one year."
Yun Che had read about this from the novel. That's why he chose Zangetsu.
The Azure Dragon continued "But, this trial has been upgraded. So, you must defeat 99,999 spirit beasts with the same cultivation as you."
"That should be easy.." As he was smiling, the dragon smirked before dropping another bomb towards him.
"In under a five hours."
Yun Che's composure was shattered the moment he heard that. "Wait…WHAT?!?"
"A year should be easy enough. But this dragon won't let you have an easier time. So am
"What in the world? Five hours? I took half an hour to beat a thousand but 99,999 in just five hours?!?"
Jasmine wrapped her arms on her body and said with a s.a.d.i.s.tic smirk. "Well, then. I think you better get started."
[Ding... Initiating Dragon G.o.d Second Trial. Defeat 99,999 spirit beasts in under five hours. All spirit beast will have the same cultivation as the host.
Duration: 05.00.00
Difficulty: Suicidal
Reward: Dragon G.o.d Crystal Fragment]
"Jasmine, why do I feel malicious intent coming from you? I was right. You do have a grudge against me." He fell on fours again thinking his fate with this midget.
"Hmph, I have no idea what you're talking about." She said with her usual tsundere tone.
"Fine, I'll deal with it. I might have one or two moves I can use." He regained his bearings before tapping the dust off his shoulders and walked towards the edge.
As he walks, Jasmine watched his back slowly walked towards the edge of the tower. She sighs before shouting "Wait,…."
"Hmm? What is it?"
"I might have something for you to use aside from Getsuga Tenshou all the time. Since Zangetsu a heavy sword, sort off. I am sure you can pull this one off perfectly."
"Hooo, Jasmine is giving me a new skill. All right. This disciple is ready to learn." Yun Che was back to his happy go lucky mode before sitting in front of her like an obedient student. He knew exactly what that skill is and he really looked forward to learn this skill.
Seeing his antics, Jasmine rolls her eyes before saying "Originally, this skill belongs to my older brother. He used this tome once he made a breakthrough using a heavy sword."
"He used it as well?"
"Hnn, his heavy sword was larger than yours but I am sure you can use it. And the reason I am teaching you is you were able to use the power of the Heavy Sword using Zangetsu as well as Tensa Zangetsu. For a small thing like that able to execute the power of a Heavy Sword is quite unique."
"Well, I have my share of experiences back in my own world. So you can say I understood a lot actually."
Jasmine looked at him with a smirk and said "Hnn, then let your master here bestow you with another knowledge. This princess is going to teach you this. But I can only teach you the first move as this is the only move from that tome I understood back then." Jasmine then touch his forehead before transferring all her knowledge on the skill she wishes him to learn.
Yun Che could see everything from the transfer. The methods, stance and execution. He even saw the devastating effect of the skill like a movie replayed to him over and over again.
[Ding…. Host has discovered 'The Sky Wolf Slash' from the Heavenly Wolf's h.e.l.l G.o.d Tome.]
[Ding… Cultivate?]
"Holy h.e.l.l, this is Yun Che's signature slash. Obtained from Jasmine herself. Of course I am learning it."
[Ding.. Host has obtain the 'Heavenly Wolf's h.e.l.l G.o.d Tome' first skill 'The Sky Wolf Slash'.]
[Ding.. Compatibility between Host's original Getsuga Tenshou and the Sky Wolf Slash.]
He grinned in excitement before saying "Wow…its been a while. Fusion huh?"
[Ding… Initiating Fusion]
[Fusion successful]
[Ding… New Skill acquired: Sky Wolf Moon Fang Heaven Piercer. This skill was created through the fusion of Sky Wolf Slash and Getsuga Tenshou. Host's Getsuga Tenshou will produce a ma.s.sive wolf head moon fang.]
He shot her a grin before saying "h.e.l.l yeah, new skill. Thanks Jasmine."
She knew he learned it instantly and said "Yeah, this skill is called the Sky Wolf Slash. This is the only skill I obtained from my brother. This is his most favorite skill. I managed to understood this skill because he used it all the time. By the way, The Sky Wolf Slash is one of the skill from…"
"Heavenly Wolf's h.e.l.l G.o.d Tome. Am I right?" He responded with a relaxed face.
"How…?" Jasmine was shocked as he knew the true name of the skill. She was about to said 'Prison G.o.d Sirius Tome. But he beat her to it. He even used the full name. Yun Che didn't say anything but only pointed on his forehead.
Jasmine understood the reference and regain her composure. Of course he knew. He had the system. The system knew everything out of everything. The same thing when she asked him about the Evil G.o.d Blood and Star G.o.d Realm.
"Then, I am sure the system can complete the tome for you right?"
He shook his head. "Nope."
"But, I thought…"
"Its true, the system knew everything. It even knew about the complete skill list of that tome but the system needs the fundamental of that skill. What the system knew is just the theoretical part of the skill and tome. It needs the physical part or the tome itself as well as the formula. The system can teach what you gave me just now instantly but as for the others. I really need someone who mastered those moves. "
Then, he continued " As for the rest, I might need the tome itself." Yun Che stated the truth to Jasmine. The system can help him learn about any skills from his previous world. However, the system only knew the skills from this world through the novel he read. That's why he needed the slab from Frozen Cloud Asgard to learn the Frozen End Arts and Feng Xu'er for the World Ode of the Phoenix.
She slowly nodded in understanding. "So, the system needs to find the art itself to complete it?"
"Yeah. If the system can complete it. All the arts I've learnt from this world will be long completed. As for now, its like reading a summary of a book without the book itself."
"If the system knew about this tome. Then, can you describe what the system knew about the tome? It might help me understood what is the true purpose of the tome." Jasmine wanted to know about the art her brother cultivated. Both of them walked different paths so she wanted to understood them and maybe teach Yun Che something.
Instead of describing it to her, he just tapped her head and pa.s.sed everything he knew about the tome from the system. He pa.s.sed all the skills as well as the origin of the skill to her minus the part about her brother.
As she read the description, it is the same feeling as reading a wiki from the internet without reading the book itself. "You're right, I can understand all of this but simply knowing the name of the skills doesn't mean you can learn it. You really need the tome itself."
"Or someone who managed to cultivate it." He continued.
Then, Jasmine started to conclude what she learnt from the system. "It said here that during the era of the G.o.ds, the Heavenly Wolf Star G.o.d was once captured by the devil race and sealed inside the Netherworld Demonic h.e.l.l before his ascension to the position of Star G.o.d, and suffered endless torment, which gave rise to endless hatred and resentment in his heart. Later, his obsession and hatred gave birth to an incomparably powerful energy that helped him break out of the prison, and he managed to leave the territory of devils with his own strength and flee back to the G.o.d Realm."
Hearing they suddenly talked about the Heavenly Wolf Star G.o.d, the Azure Dragon suddenly spoke. "Are you talking about the Heavenly Wolf Star G.o.d? This dragon once met such a G.o.d back then. He was really powerful. We called him the G.o.d of Hatred. His powers almost similar to the divine power of 'devils' back then. Probably when he was captured, most G.o.ds back then accused him of practicing devil arts during his capture."
Yun Che nodded in understanding. "So that guy was captured? I can imagine being tortured alive by those things."
Jasmine suddenly interjects. "You seem to understand these terms quite well."
Yun Che shrugged his shoulders. "Well, we have these things in our world as well. s.h.i.+nigami are G.o.ds and Hollows are devils. We went to war with each other countless of times. Basically it's the same thing. Just different terms I guess."
Nodding in understanding, Jasmine continued "Anyway, this power of obsession and hatred was what took the form of 'Heavenly Wolf h.e.l.l G.o.d's Tome' later on. Afterwards, his hatred was purified and he was ranked as one of the twelve star G.o.ds. But because of it the 'Heavenly Wolf h.e.l.l G.o.d's Tome' lost its might as well. It is only when the fire of hatred fiercely burns that this G.o.d art recovers its divine might. Once the divine might burst forth under the influence of hatred, none of the other eleven star G.o.ds can be the opponent of the Heavenly Wolf Star G.o.d."
"Wait, you say that your brother once unleashed the full power of this tome before he died. Did he get captured back then?" Yun Che's question caused Jasmine to go quiet all of a sudden. Seeing her this quiet, he continued "Sorry if I asked something personal. You don't have to answer."
Jasmine formed up a smile before shaking her head. "No, meeting you and the others had opened my eyes. There's no use dwelling in the past in anger and vengeance. Even if I hid it, one day. You might find out about it sooner or later. I don't know why but you and the others are ones I can trust in this world. The answer for your question is yes, he was captured. But, I am not ready to tell you the full story just yet. Let's wait for Retsu."
Yun Che pat her head and looking at her affectionately. She didn't resist his touch before looking at him as well. "Take your time, Jasmine. You might be an annoying little midget sometimes. But, you're one of us now."
Jasmine widen her eyes before shooting him with an angry look. "You dare call this princess a midget?!?"
"h.e.l.l yeah, I am!!!" He simply smile like it was nothing.
Jasmine looked at him with an annoyed look but all of a sudden. "Pfft... Hahaha... This princess can't even comprehend that you actually did that. I'll let you off this time but one more time if this princess heard you call me a midget. Then don't blame me for putting haki to a good use." Jasmine slowly smiled remembering the moments of her and her brother, the reason she laughed just now wasn't because of anything. The particular reason was her brother also calls her an annoying little midget. Be it coincidence or not.
Yun Che just grin at her before saying... "Hai,,,Hai...By the way, your brother is pretty overpowered for such a man. He can even beat you, Jasmine?"
"Hmph, as if this princess allows it. So, in conclusion, you needed the power of hatred itself to unleashed its full power. Knowing you, this might be quite hard."
"Sort off, I am born with all the experiences in my world. You can say hatred and vengeance are long gone for me. I have long discarded those feelings. As for the story behind it, I'll tell you if you tell me yours."
She nodded to his statement. Its a fair price. "So how in the world are you supposed to unleashed its true might?"
"Instant learning from the system. Then again, I really have the method of unleas.h.i.+ng the power of hatred despite being who I am."
"How are you supposed to accomplished that?"
Yun Che didn't say anything but slowly transform his eyes into three tomoe sharingan. Those three tomoes slowly spinning showing deep aura of hatred around him. Seeing him like this, she never knew he had the aura of slaughter and hatred. It was thicker than Retsu.
"How's that?" He said while smiling but maintaining the slaughter and hatred aura around him.
"How?" He kept a smiling face at the same time pointing towards his spinning sharingan.
"Your sharingan?"
"The sharingan isn't just for show you know. It's not just unlocking my haki and enhanced my senses as well as unlocking new powers. The sharingan is actually the embodiment of Hatred itself."
She murmured "Embodiment of hatred?"
"The sharingan is also known as 'Copy Wheel Eye'. This eye enables the user to see things normal mortals can't see, enhanced senses as well as copy any arts the user desires. That's how I managed to learn the Star G.o.d Broken Shadow in an instant."
"Back to the story, this eye is really the embodiment of hatred. The more hatred the user felt the faster it awakens. It belongs to an extinct clan back in my original world and I am the last inheritor. Like I said, the sharingan can also transform my aura and spirit force into the energy of hatred. As long as I maintained it, I can use it anytime. Pretty cool right?"
She sighs at his capabilities. The real question was not what he can't do but what else he can do? "You know, why I am even surprised at this. So your sharingan, is this the limit of its power?"
"Nope, the highest power I can attain depend on the Evil G.o.d Gates I managed to sustained. Right now, Purgatory has unlocked these three tomoe stage Sharingan. When I attained Rumbling Heaven at Sovereign Profound Realm. It will unlock the fourth stage and evolve the Sharingan."
She widen her eyes and ask "That is?"
"The Mangekyou Sharingan or Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye. When I attained it, the power of hatred I can use will be even more powerful. Even the later stages of the sharingan can enhance the tome to become even more powerful."
She curiously observed the sharingan in his eyes and said "Mangekyou Sharingan? Each gate of the Evil G.o.d has its own sharingan stage?"
"Yeah...Mangekyou Sharingan has different type of powers so until I reach it. I couldn't tell you more."
"Understood, I think you better get started with the trial. Retsu might started to get worried." She suggested after seeing them talking for a while.
"Yeah.. Five hours might be less than a year. I think I might pull something off after all." He said while standing on the edge and facing her.
"Also, five hours kind of short. I might need someone's help for that." He said while slowly storing Zangetsu behind his back.
"How? I can't help you and you know it." Jasmine said while being puzzled.
"Yeah, you can't. But he can. And I am sure he can unleashed even more powerful version of the Sky Wolf Slash." He slowly said before raising his arms in the air before leaning backwards and fell towards the bottom.
