The three-day deadline arrived in a blink, and Lin Feng bid farewell to the Sekirei at the entrance of Izumo Inn. He promised to return soon and take them to a brand new world.
A Song pushed up her glasses, looking as if she knew everything. She was the first to approach and bid farewell to Lin Feng. As a Sekirei of Wisdom, A Song had spent these days living with Lin Feng and vaguely guessed that he did not belong to this world.
Yue Hai pouted, seemingly in a bad mood, having suddenly gained eighty love rivals, and among them was a formidable opponent like Musubi. However, seeing that Lin Feng was leaving, she still obediently bid him farewell.
Xiao Jie and Musubi had very similar adorable cheeks. Like twin sisters, they blessed Lin Feng with sweet smiles, wishing him a swift return.
"Waaah… I want to live with Big Brother and everyone!"
Seemingly sensing that Lin Feng was going to a very distant place, Xiao Cao pursed her lips, looking pitifully at Big Brother. She hugged Lin Feng's thigh with her chubby little hands, and her watery big eyes were filled with reluctance to part with Big Brother.
Miya picked up Xiao Cao with both hands, coaxing her. But Xiao Cao, separated from Lin Feng, immediately burst into tears, looking very pitiful. For Sekirei, not being with their beloved is too painful.
"Goodbye, Xiao Cao, be good and listen to Miya, okay?"
Looking at the pitiful Xiao Cao, Lin Feng smiled and waved to her, feeling a rare pang of sadness himself.
"Don't worry, Feng Feng, you are now connected to Mt. Song. Even if you go to another world, I can still locate you through Mt. Song and communicate with Feng Feng across dimensions."
A Song proactively kissed Lin Feng's lips, then chanted her prayer, "My wisdom of vows, grant my Wei Ya the knowledge of the world!"
As a dazzling light flashed, A Song gained partial access to Mt. Song's permissions. Of course, Lin Feng had voluntarily granted it to her. With Mt. Song's permissions, A Song would be able to better pinpoint Lin Feng's coordinates.
Mt. Song in the sky shone with a pair of huge light wings. After Lin Feng bid farewell to each of the women, he waved his right hand and vanished from this world.
As Lin Feng plunged into the river of dimensions, the vast, boundless space began to twist. The previously silent space suddenly thundered with lightning, and terrifying dimensional storms mercilessly tore at his body.
It was as if he was being deliberately punished for his previous mischief. He endured several minutes of lightning strikes in the dimensional river. Or was it several hours, several days?
Lin Feng had lost all concept of time and was about to give up; he really wanted to throw up. It must be the damned system playing a prank on him. Just as Lin Feng was about to curse the system's ancestors, a point of light suddenly appeared in the dark space ahead. The light, like a firefly, was so dazzling in the pitch-black world.
Seeing the familiar exit before him, Lin Feng rushed towards it without thinking.
A dazzling light flashed, and he arrived in a new world. A brand new journey was about to begin, but Lin Feng was not as excited as before.
This was a terrible, pitch-black world, where he couldn't see his hand in front of his face. All around him were towering trees, hundreds of meters tall.
However, these trees, seemingly due to prolonged lack of sunlight, were completely pale, with no leaves on their branches, as if they had withered and died.
On the dead branches of the large trees, countless blue lights, similar to will-o'-the-wisps, flickered.
Innumerable blue lights, large and small, coupled with the gloomy wind that occasionally blew through the forest, gave one a chilling, eerie sensation that made their scalp tingle.
In such a terrible world, Lin Feng thought he had arrived in some strange, eerie place.
Just then, the system's red text floated into his vision.
World: "Bleach"
World Level: B-rank
Location: Forest of the Gran Hollows
Main Quest: Kill Yhwach
Quest Reward: 1000 Dimensional Points
Side Quest: Conquer Female Characters
Quest Reward: 100 Dimensional Points per main female character
(Rukia Kuchiki, Orihime Inoue, Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck)
20 Dimensional Points per supporting female character
(Yoruichi Shihōin, Retsu Unohana, Matsumoto Rangiku, Riruka Dokugamine, Halibel)
There are fifty years until Yhwach regains his power.
Note: Once Yhwach senses his life is threatened, he will prematurely activate the Auswählen and reclaim his 'Almighty' ability.
Please, Shen Xuan Zhe, prepare thoroughly before challenging the King of the Quincy.
… … …
"Yhwach, huh?"
Lin Feng remembered that in the world of Bleach, 1000 years ago, the Monk sealed Yhwach's Almighty with the Soul King's left hand, and the curse would only be lifted upon Yhwach's death.
Not long after, Yhwach led the pure-blood Quincy to attack Seireitei, engaging in battle with the Gotei 13 led by Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto.
Yhwach was slain by Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto but was fortunately rescued by his subordinates. Afterwards, the Quincy fled into the shadows within Seireitei. They spent a thousand years hiding in the shadows, manipulating reishi, constructing reishi spaces, calling themselves the Wandenreich, and waiting there for their King's revival.
"Hmph~"
Lin Feng exhaled a murky breath, unable to contain his excitement. He hadn't expected to come to the world of Bleach. Although the final mission was somewhat difficult, he still had several decades to prepare, which was enough time to master the powers of the Three Realms with the Hōgyoku.
"Hmph, Yhwach? Just an arrogant tyrant! Once I master the power of the Shinigami, the power of the Hollows, and the power of the Quincy, I will definitely drag you down from your throne! Oh, and I'll be taking over your girl groups!"
Recalling the alluring bodies of Candice Catnipp, Bambietta Basterbine, and Meninas McAllon, members of the Sternritter, immediately ignited a flame in Lin Feng's heart.
However, Lin Feng currently lacked the strength to invade the Wandenreich. Not to mention killing Yhwach, even dealing with the four members of the Royal Guard would be difficult. Because, familiar with the plot, he knew that the Royal Guard's abilities were all abnormal, and they were experts at getting back up after being defeated.
Gerard Valkyrie was the Soul King's heart, Pernida Parnkgjas was the Soul King's left hand, and Lille Barro, who was suspected of being the Soul King's great bird—these three were like characters in Contra with cheat codes activated, each having thirty lives.
To defeat these rule-bending Royal Guard members, one needed to accumulate strength. Fortunately, in the world of Bleach, the more mixed-blood one was, the stronger they became. Like Ichigo Kurosaki, a hybrid of Shinigami, Quincy, and Hollow bloodlines, he was able to cut down Yhwach, who had absorbed the Soul King, with sheer brute force!
However, Hollow power is poisonous to both Shinigami and Quincy. Quincy, in particular, view Hollows as deadly poison and wish to kill all of them.
Fortunately, as a True Ancestor who devours all things, he didn't have to worry about incompatible powers.
At this moment, the dense blue lights in the darkness were rapidly approaching.
Lin Feng, with his night vision, could clearly see the true forms of these lights.
They were Hollows!
To the Hollows, Lin Feng, who had the Hōgyoku residing within his body, was an irresistible and fatal temptation, like a drug.
In a blink of an eye, the trees within several hundred meters around Lin Feng were covered with Hollows, tens of thousands of them, overwhelming in number, with their mouths wide open. Their body shapes varied; there were spider-types, large snake-types, and stick insect-types. Although the Hollows had bizarre appearances, all of them had a large hole in their chest and wore white masks on their faces.
Tens of thousands of Hollows became greatly agitated upon discovering Lin Feng's presence. They became very thirsty, very hungry; an incredibly intense hunger filled their entire bodies.
"Is this guy a human or a Shinigami? How did he get to the Forest of the Gran Hollows?"
"Who cares? I think his soul looks so delicious, it must be worth more than ten thousand human souls!"
"Yeah, I smelled the fragrance from afar. Why is there such a delicious soul here?!"
Some Hollows were whispering among themselves, exchanging their opinions on Lin Feng's soul.
To fill the emptiness in his heart and to quench his thirst for souls, a crab-shaped Hollow, over three meters tall, leaped down.
This ferocious Hollow, named Chachavara, had already devoured over eighty human souls and even consumed Shinigami, making him a powerful Hollow.
"Insignificant human, become the food for this great one's evolution!"
The Hollow swung a giant pincer, hard as steel, aiming for Lin Feng's waist, intending to kill him in one blow.
"Seeking death! Let me sample the taste of a Hollow!"
Lin Feng extended his right hand and easily gripped the pincer.
"Such... such great strength!"
Chachavara looked at the human's crimson eyes before him, a strong premonition of danger washing over him. However, before he could react, Lin Feng had already pierced his chest with just his right hand.
Immense pain swept through Chachavara's entire body. His limited intelligence couldn't help but wonder: the opponent didn't have a Zanpakuto and wasn't a Shinigami, so why could he hurt him?
"Ah ah!"
As Chachavara's masked mouth let out a wail, his enormous body rapidly shrank, instantly turning into Reishi and being absorbed into Lin Feng's body.
Seeing Chachavara's body vanish so suddenly, the other Hollows were all stunned.
"He... he actually devoured the Hollow's flesh and blood? Doesn't he fear death? Our Hollow bodies are highly poisonous to other living beings!"
The other Hollows in the trees exclaimed in shock. They had lived for hundreds of years. No matter how strong the human or Shinigami, there had never been an existence that devoured Hollows!
While the Hollows were bewildered, Lin Feng leaped into the air, spread his blood-red wings, and swiftly charged towards a large tree filled with Hollows. With a raise of his hand, he tore apart several Hollows whose skin was as hard as steel, then devoured their Reishi!
The pupils of the other Hollows on the trees widened. This human, without a Zanpakuto, could tear apart a Hollow's body with just the wind pressure from his hand-blade strikes.
"Such a strong human! How can such an existence be in this world!"
A spider-shaped Hollow clinging to a tree trunk hadn't even finished speaking when Lin Feng flew before him, raising his hand like a blade and directly severing his head.
"Don't be afraid, he's only one person! As long as we unite, we can defeat him. He must be a rare, unique species in the human world; eating his soul will surely allow us to evolve into a higher existence!"
Dozens of Hollows brandished their strong, sharp limbs, yet no matter how they attacked, even if they managed to strike Lin Feng's body, they couldn't harm him in the slightest.
Normal Hollows are very weak, comparable to the Special Danger Beasts in the Akame ga Kill! world. If Akame had a Zanpakuto, she could easily slay hundreds of these Hollows.
And with the help of the Hogyoku, Lin Feng became increasingly familiar with the Reishi composition of the Soul Society. He raised his right hand, forming a blade, and slashed at the resisting Hollows. An invisible spatial blade flew out, severing the Hollows along with the large trees they were on.
The rumbling sound of battle, accompanied by the painful wails of countless Hollows. In less than a minute, thousands of Hollows had been slain, turning into blue Reishi and drifting into Lin Feng's body.
Before Lin Feng, these Hollows were as weak as ants; the difference between them spanned several dimensions.
Seeing the terrifying strength Lin Feng displayed, these simple-minded Hollows, who only knew how to feed, finally realized that they were the prey to be devoured, and so they fled in disarray.
"Don't you want to eat me? Come on."
Lin Feng's eyes glowed with an intimidating red light, and a startlingly dark demonic aura suddenly erupted from his body.
"Flame Dragon!"
The golden Wei Ya core in Lin Feng's chest shimmered. He extended his right hand, and a dozens-of-meters-long fire dragon spewed from his palm.
The fire dragon, with temperatures of thousands of degrees, let out a deafening roar, carrying an incredibly terrifying oppressive force towards the fleeing Hollows.
"Ah..."
Before their screams could even finish, thousands of Hollows were incinerated in the fire dragon's flames, turning into Reishi and being absorbed into the Hogyoku in Lin Feng's chest.
