Urahara Kisuke heard Tao Yu’s words and gave an awkward smile, scratching the back of his head repeatedly as he said,
"Ah, what kind of words are these, dear guest? Didn’t I already give you a Shallow Strike? But you see, I’m a God of Death, an exiled God of Death at that, and as for Hollows... there’s nothing I can do, hahaha..."
Urahara Kisuke’s poor acting left Tao Yu speechless.
He then gently placed the sheath of the Shallow Strike onto the ground.
The dull echo interrupted Urahara Kisuke’s laughter, causing the corner of his mouth to twitch slightly as he continued,
"Sir, the clash between a God of Death’s and a Hollow’s power is very dangerous. If not controlled properly, one could be polluted by Hollow’s power. You also mentioned the chaotic power within the Abyss can be easily strengthened. Kokoro Kurosaki’s previous ability was to limit Hollows..."
Urahara Kisuke spoke with sincerity, genuinely seeming to have Tao Yu’s best interest at heart.
Yet, Tao Yu was disinclined to waste words. Suddenly, the lights in the room began to flicker, and the lighting dimmed instantly.
The shadows throughout the room seemed to come alive in an instant, forming various distorted grotesque images, encircling everyone present.
The dizzying nausea at first glance made those present feel their thoughts slowing down.
A hissing noise akin to static seemed to accompany their ears, as the images before them began to slow down, like frames changing one by one.
"If Hollow’s power is dangerous, am I not dangerous?"
Tao Yu, dressed in a white wizard’s robe looking quite ethereal, now seemed akin to a Demon King standing atop Hell Corpse Mountain.
Those present were all stunned as if struck dumb...
"These are some Hollows and souls I used for experimentation, hahaha, I forgot earlier, apologies."
Urahara Kisuke withdrew a handful of soul beads.
As a research enthusiast, he had plenty of experimental materials, and the Current World was not short of Hollows.
If Tao Yu kept arguing logically, Urahara Kisuke might keep jesting.
But now, clearly unwilling to argue logically and also adept at fighting, he didn’t seem like a good person.
Urahara Kisuke became more compliant.
He brought out some of his experimental specimens as well.
In the past, catching a Hollow might require effort, but recently, the frequency of Hollows appearing in the Current World was skyrocketing, even if he didn’t provide samples, the other party would sooner or later obtain them.
"But Hollow’s power is different from a God of Death’s Soul Cutting Sword..."
Urahara Kisuke was still attempting to explain, watching as Tao Yu on the other side tossed the handful of soul beads into his mouth as if they were candies.
Tao Yu’s bulging mouth turned to Urahara Kisuke, speaking somewhat indistinctly,
The [Biting] received by Dinosaur through secondary Deification was integrated by the Life Equation, making Tao Yu chew with ease and pleasure.
A formless chaotic power surged into his body.
"There’s, there’s nothing."
Urahara Kisuke was slightly speechless, just what kind of species are you...
Tao Yu started feeling the power from Hollows, then closed his eyes.
Not long after, wisps of black mist began condensing a mask on his face.
Urahara Kisuke felt a bit terrified, noting how Tao Yu’s mask seemed alive.
Similar to the seven-eyed visage of Lilith and Eternity, the eyes on the mask kept rolling, and tentacles seemed to be writhing beside them...
The mask looked at them, even without causing a ripple of spiritual pressure, it sent a chill to their hearts!
"While Hollow’s typical forms are bizarre, this appearance is really..., really..."
Urahara Kisuke found it hard to describe his feelings.
In truth, he had seen stranger Hollows.
But those seven moving eyes seemed to appear in his closed-eye black view!
It felt alive in his thoughts, already imprinted into his memory!
"...It’s truly unique."
Kokoro Kurosaki, substituting for Urahara Kisuke, provided a description, to avoid saying anything wrong.
"It’s quite discerning."
Tao Yu waved his hand, the mask on his face disappeared, then he closed his eyes feeling the Hollow’s power.
"It’ll suffice, although it cannot be carelessly used here, for now, it should be enough..."
A God of Death and a Hollow both possess spiritual side abilities, Tao Yu must gradually weave and manifest his abilities in the Soul Reaper World manner.
Yet compared to the initial entry, it was much more convenient.
That time he only possessed a large move, constrained by usage limits.
Now he managed to supplement his basic attacks.
At least foundational spiritual pressure slashes and Void Flash could now be used.
"By the way, you still have Breaking Path and Binding Technique, right? Please briefly explain, no worries, I learn very fast..."
Hanging his Soul Cutting Sword at his waist, Tao Yu sat cross-legged on Urahara Shop’s tatami, directing his gaze at Takehiko Omura.
"Well, I can certainly assist the guest with explanations. Regarding Ghost Path, I am fairly confident..."
Takehiko Omura adjusted his glasses, causing them to flash slightly.
"Haha, I have a training room downstairs, let’s go there."
Urahara Kisuke laughed while proposing the suggestion.
"Sure, I will also need your assistance to enter the Soul Society, hope there’s no objection?"
"Uh, no, but currently I can’t reach the Soul Society, and Kurosaki needs recovery, so eventually it’ll depend on the guest alone."
