Playing With Other Supernaturals

Kisuke just stepped into the Dimensional Gap, which had now replaced the void between worlds, Garganta. This was done by Flanna and her Dragon friends to keep the worlds together. However, unlike the Dimensional Gap that he knew, it's not an infinite space because it was just a temporary measure.

It was with that idea in mind that he was not surprised to meet a lone maggot wriggling around without any sense of direction. Since the emergency protection system that he placed on Ophis hadn't triggered, Kisuke took his time to observe the maggot, 'It doesn't know what to do but it looks like it's slowly adjusting. It'll take some time, but it'll eventually know how to move. It's also a problem that it could survive this chaotic space since only a few people could come into this place and remain unscathed.'

With a swing of the released Tiamat, Kisuke bisected the struggling maggot.

On his way to Hell, Kisuke found several more of these maggots and had the same observation as the first one, 'As soon as they learn to move properly, they'll reach the other worlds.'

While bringing that bad premonition with him, he finally took the shortest path to Hell, 'After Flanna took over the role of the lynchpin, the plan was to slowly integrate the three worlds with the larger scope of the Dimensional Gap. But to think it'll be this messy... I hope it's not too messy on the other side too.'

Kisuke soon found an increasing number of maggots and not long after that were the holes they created to even reach the Dimensional Gap in the first place. Despite his high resistance to disgusting things, the hair on Kisuke's body couldn't help but stand up while watching thousands of these maggots pile out of the holes, slowly drifting into the kaleidoscopic space and spreading out into the distance, "This is so much worse than I anticipated... Though thanks to this, Hell at large should be relatively safer.

Ignoring the flood of maggots, Kisuke went through one of the holes and immediately scanned his surroundings. He couldn't feel Ichibei's aura, but he could tell that Ophis was around with her power still lingering.

And sure enough, Ophis suddenly appeared beside him. But what surprised him more was the two people tied by her snakes beside her, "You've arrived."

Kisuke nodded and patted her head, "Mmm. I'm sorry for letting you do an unreasonable task. It even endangered Lilith."

Ophis shook her head, "I am glad to be of help. It's about time I returned the favor."

"You didn't really have to..." Kisuke sighed before finally turning his attention to the two people glaring at them, "I'm glad to see you guys still energetic. I truly mean it."

One of the tied-up people, Tenjirou Kirinji, clicked his tongue, "Do you expect us to believe that?"

Kisuke grinned and covered his mouth with his free hand, "Of course not. But I guess this is not a good place to talk, huh?"

"What do you plan to do with us?" The other tied person, Senjumaru Shutara, asked. She had been trying to get the snake off her body but no matter what she did, they didn't budge at all.

Kisuke thought about it for a moment before answering, "That'll be up to you."

Senjumaru and Tenjirou looked at each other and weighed their options. As even those who were Ichibei's close confidants don't know what's going on so they didn't really have many options.

"Before anything, what happened to Kirio?" Senjumaru asked again.

The smile on Kisuke's face disappeared, "She's fine, but she has lost all of her powers."

Tenjirou and Senjumaru's eyes widened in surprise, "S-she lost her powers? ...Then that would mean..." Not from the fact that she lost her powers but from the fact that she's still alive because they could only think of one ability of hers that would strip her of all of her powers as a Shinigami.

Kisuke was able to guess what they were thinking and replied, "She tried but I got lucky and she failed."

Tenjirou and Senjumaru were silent for a moment before the former asked, "How did you... save her?" As the creator of most of the Kaidou system, Tenjirou was incredibly curious as he already researched this situation beforehand and found no solution, 'Even the immortality granted by Ichibei's naming couldn't save her in case she uses that. Just how did he...?'

Because if there's something that Ichibei can't rename, those are the basic laws of the universe.

"As I said, I got lucky. You can ask her about the details later." Kisuke shrugged his shoulders, "More importantly, I assume you also don't have any idea what got into Hyousube-san, do you?"

Senjumaru immediately answered, "No. We would appreciate it if you give us some clues because you seem to have some."

"I only have some guesses..." Kisuke then turned to Ophis and asked, "What did he look like to you, Ophis-chan?"

"...A fly," Ophis answered after thinking about it for a few seconds.

"I see." Kisuke heaved out a heavy sigh, "This is more troublesome than I thought. And here I thought I could take it easy after replacing the lynchpin."

Tenjirou and Senjumaru already expected it when he returned to Hell after defeating Kirio but they were still shocked, "Do the three worlds still exist?"

"It does. In the first place, I didn't have any intention of destroying them." Kisuke prepared Tiamat once again and flew off to one of the holes, "Let's return to Soul Society first."

Ophis closely followed him and the other two found that some of their mobility returned. They looked at each other before also following the first two.

As they got into the Dimensional Gap, Tenjirou and Senjumaru were once again shocked by the chaotic pull the space produced, "This is... Such a deadly place, weaker Hollows and Shinigamis won't be able to traverse this." muttered the latter.

Kisuke didn't say anything and just silently went through the crowd of maggots. It didn't take long before they reached where Kisuke made the hole in space and returned. freёnovelkiss.com

Upon their arrival, Kisuke found out that there was only one person present in the room and that was the weirdly dressed Kurotsuchi, "So you brought them back. Now let's hear what your plan is before the three worlds are completely eaten."freeweɓnøvel.com
