"I’ve already trusted Your Excellency’s intelligence and identity, so I wonder what Your Excellency wants to gain from me, and what we can obtain from you."
All the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. Urahara Kisuke is a very rational person; he knows there is no affection without reason. People providing so much information are certainly seeking more!
And having already understood the situation of the Abyss, Urahara Kisuke has no reluctance towards external allies.
Everyone is trying to survive in the Abyss; mutual support and assistance are very wise choices.
Moreover, for some reason, he instinctively feels that the person before him is trustworthy, but his rationality suppresses his instinct, and he still asks some skeptical questions.
Based on how those foreigners came to Kosu Town searching for things before and the street encirclement, Urahara Kisuke knows they must also have their pursuits.
Perhaps, the person before him has the same pursuits as them!
The difference is that those are ’cannon fodder’ used for exploring intelligence, with weak abilities, and no clairvoyance ability. They are unaware of the Soul Society and Hollow Realm’s existence, so they think the good things of this world might just be in Kosu Town.
But the person before him knows it is not just that...
Perhaps, what they seek includes the Spirit King and Bengyu, who also knows!
If this is the case, Urahara Kisuke is also considering a win-win solution that does not involve confrontation, as it would be the best choice.
Tao Yu just looks at Urahara Kisuke’s eyes and roughly guesses the situation. This fellow does indeed have a good brain.
In terms of strength alone, Urahara Kisuke can be considered a standard Captain Level, but his brain scores him extra points, and his research ability is also strong.
Having learned so much from Tony and others in the Marvel World, now he has Skills and Talents as Kaji. Tao Yu feels he could even spend time learning some related item creation methods from Urahara Kisuke.
Only the priority should be slightly delayed.
"Urahara Shopkeeper’s worries are unnecessary. Although I have my pursuits in your world, the destruction of the world would promote the Abyss’s arrogance, which is not something I am happy to see. Perhaps I can solve some of your heart’s troubles."
Although Tao Yu’s words don’t relax Urahara Kisuke, they make him immediately consider Bengyu.
Urahara Kisuke has always wanted to destroy Bengyu, but if the Abyss descends, using Bengyu’s power to counter the Abyss or as a bargaining chip for external assistance seems acceptable!
"Alright, I believe Your Excellency’s promise. So, what exactly does Your Excellency want me to help with? To gain the powers of our world? If I may be blunt, our world’s powers, spirits, and spiritual pressure are innate. I observe sir..."
Urahara Kisuke hasn’t finished speaking when Tao Yu is already over there pondering and adjusting his body.
With the slide-like transitions, accompanied by a sizzling sound, the lights in Urahara Shop continuously flicker.
Each flicker seems to cause a snow-like screen fluctuation on Tao Yu’s body as if the signal reception is poor.
Only moments later does it completely stop, and Tao Yu opens his eyes again.
"Information in Spiritual Body state should be ... However, as for spiritual pressure, I indeed cannot directly convert it, requiring some of your world’s power as a medium, lest your world will attack me."
Kokoro Kurosaki, Urahara Kisuke, and Takeji Tesa all look shocked at the spiritually transformed Tao Yu.
Having spent a lifetime researching this commonality, Urahara Kisuke unconsciously stands up.
"How could it be possible!"
Bengyu was initially researched by Urahara Kisuke to combine God of Death’s power and Hollow’s; back then, Lan Ran created Hollow White similarly.
Lastly, Yohaba wanted to use Ikkou to sever the Spirit King because Ikkou had the All Things power combining all abilities!
Yet Tao Yu before him who started as mere flesh and blood, easily transforms into spiritual body information with no spiritual pressure, making Urahara Kisuke unable to accept it.
"There’s some filthy thing!"
"A researcher should not always say ’impossible.’ If you’re interested, we can explore these topics in the future, as I’m actually quite interested in research..."
Tao Yu was once a dunce in learning, genuinely disliking complex things, particularly hating math.
But with newfound talents and skills stacking, having a higher configuration naturally sparks corresponding new interests!
A ten-thousand-dollar computer isn’t just for playing Minesweeper, right?
If someone has a photographic memory and can understand quickly, without pressure from others, they’d spend all day every day in the library...
