Chapter 414: 414 Bleach: The Schrift of The Control, The Massacre, The Transmutation and The Future, The Usurper King and The Bankai of Aizen.
From the beginning, Makima carefully observed the fight between Allen and Aizen. While girls like Artoria, Rebecca, and even Albedo are quite intelligent, they focus all their attention on Allen, reducing their ability to analyze the situation. She was the only one with a cool head and was able to understand Aizen better.
Allen had already shared all his knowledge about Aizen with the dolls so they would be prepared.
'But this is very strange...'
Makima is very good at using information. If she were Aizen and had gained knowledge about her own world long ago, she would have already conquered it, and the same applies to Aizen.
Indeed, the main problems Aizen had neutralized were already dealt with before Allen arrived, but if his goal was to be a god and replace the Spirit King, he should have done it by now, instead of pretending to be Urahara Kisuke.
Another important detail is that Aizen already knew that Allen would come to this world sooner or later, so he should have had more than one way of dealing with Allen, but at this moment, he only seemed to want to fight him.
Makima's eyes rested on Allen as he fought, 'You should have understood that too, right?...'
Makima was right; the same questions must have been in Allen's mind, but he didn't have time to answer them because he was fighting.
The dolls continued to wait until such time as they were needed.
...
"Master?... no..." Makima nodded, shivers running through her as she saw Void. Initially, it was that thing that made her obey.
"..." For Makima, Void should be more aligned with her personality, but strangely, she would not prefer Allen to be like Void.
The girls saw Aizen's power diminish thanks to Void...
As an opponent, he was still a frustrating entity, but Void was a very powerful ally. At one point, he eliminated Aizen's bankai and restricted his power to the point where even dolls like her could face him.
Makima used her chains to restrain Aizen while Albedo struck him.
Aizen's first reaction was to free himself from Makima's chains, but he couldn't. There was something else mixed with those chains.
The serene, penetrating gaze glimpsed thousands of possibilities in an instant until he concluded, "This is... Schrift?"
"Can you deduct it?" Makima, who was behind him, blinked without expression, "My master gave me a part of his soul, and with it, the letter C 'The Control'... that, combined with me being the demon of control, made me very powerful..."
Aizen tore the chains apart with force, and this didn't surprise Makima. "
"Of course, not to the level of controlling a monster like you... but enough to stop you..."
"DIE!" Albedo shouted from the sky.
Makima and the other girls moved away.
"...!"
With an impact comparable to a meteorite that ended the dinosaurs, Albedo slammed her mace into Aizen. The force was devastating, creating a shockwave greater than a nuclear bomb. What kind of terrifying power could Albedo generate?
Destruction spread in all directions. Aizen was sent flying with one arm destroyed. At first, he could not explain where her power came from, but soon, Aizen realized that Albedo's power drastically increased and then decreased after her massive attack.
"That new doll must have an accumulation power..."
Aizen was right. With the Schrift of the letter "M," she is "The Massacre." The more desire to kill she accumulates, the more "massacre" she can release, either slowly as a power boost or as a single attack.
Aizen began regenerating his arm but was struck in the face without even knowing by whom.
"...?"
Aizen became annoyed and cut his opponent in half. It was a humanoid robot, chrome metal, and even though it was destroyed, it didn't stop moving. Instead, it grabbed Aizen's arm.
"This thing doesn't have Reiatsu so I can't detect it..."
This robot changed from metallic to red. Aizen didn't need to think much to understand that this was very bad. The robot let out a familiar laugh, the laugh of Rebecca, before exploding.
"Too late!" Rebecca mocked.
With the Schrift of the letter "T," Rebecca gained the power of "The Transmutation." This saved her a lot of time when building inventions and machines, but unlike magic, transmutation isn't as free; an alchemist must follow rules.
Rebecca noticed Aizen was still fine, and she snapped her fingers. Electricity bolts shot up from the ground, and several boxes containing different materials beside her disintegrated into molecules before reorganizing, combining, and solidifying into more robots. These robots resembled high-performance metallic knights, very similar to the mechas from Code Geass.
The knights deployed their energy wings to rise into the sky and fly toward Aizen.
Aizen dodged the first one and sliced it in half.
"Hado 4 Byakurai (White Lightning)"
Two mechas were instantly pierced.
"Impossible!, it pierced the energy shields so easily?!" Rebecca knew how powerful those shields were, so she exclaimed in shock.
Aizen appeared behind Rebecca. Surprised, she deployed a force shield.
"It doesn't matter which Kido you use, as long as there's power behind it. For me, even the simplest Kido is devastating..."
"Shut up, you're so annoying, trying to boast about everything you do. You'll definitely never be popular."
Aizen didn't react and placed his fingers on Rebecca's force shield. Immediately, the shield reacted, releasing repulsion energy, but it couldn't push Aizen away. Instead, he began to slowly penetrate the shield as if he wanted to make Rebecca despair.
"F*ck you!" Rebecca flipped Aizen off. She wasn't someone who begged or feared him. "I'll tell you something: before, I would have pulled out my weapons to shoot you, but since my brain grew, I realized this is more satisfying..."
Aizen narrowed his eyes before being struck by a bullet the size of a building, sending him through miles of frozen wasteland and dead earth before slamming him into a mountain.
Silence fell as 2B held a giant Gauss cannon that appeared to be made of nanotechnology. With the Schrift of the "F," "The Future," 2B was able to manifest possibilities of what would be current technology. Something suited for an android from a distant future.
"..."
Aizen sliced the giant chunk of metal. Despite the clumsiness of the attack, its effect didn't seem to have much of an impact.
"You bastard!"
From the sky fell a gigantic ice meteorite, and above it came a beautiful woman with light blue hair; it was Esdeath.
"..." Aizen understood one thing: Allen's dolls weren't mere decorations...
...
Allen observed the fight for a moment, and once he ensured the girls could handle Aizen, he decided to focus on recovering from the exhaustion.
He returned both zanpakuto to his soul and proceeded to concentrate on using Chi. This type of spiritual energy shines brightest in situations like these.
Natasha – It's incredible how strong the girls have become...
Starfire – That's a good thing ~
Annie – From what I understand, they strengthen just by existing. It's an unfair advantage, but the price is being Allen's Maids, so it balances out, hehe...
Aphrodite – Price?! I would kill or die for that opportunity!
Maria Hill – This woman gives me chills; I feel like she's serious...
Hestia – She is serious...
Maria Hill – I guess I'll never understand the goddesses.
Akeno – Ara~ I don't think I would go to the extreme of dying for that, but if it comes to killing ufufu~... I'd do it to experience what it's like to belong to Allen~
Rias – Akeno, don't make such vulgar jokes, or people will think the demons from our world are perverted...
Kimiko – I almost forgot you guys are demons... you're so different from them...
Rias – Sorry for not being a homicidal maniac like Albedo or a chilling Makima.
Akeno – Buchou, don't worry. You have something that beats those two, and considering the context of our intentions, it will be more useful...
Rias – Really?...
Rias looked at Albedo causing a global catastrophe as a meteor and at Makima keeping calm in front of a monster like Aizen... she didn't feel like she could surpass that...
Akeno – That's right, your breasts are bigger...
Rias – I'll deduct your bonus for this month...
Akeno – Buchou!!
...
Allen chuckled lightly as he saw the conversations in his chat. They could remain calm and even joke in situations like this; on one hand, many did it to hide their concerns, while others did so because they were confident that Allen wouldn't lose.
This made Allen release some of the tension...
Gil-chan – Allen, did you give those girls powers?
"Yes..."
Allen had granted his dolls with Schrift (Sacred Letters). This was one of the most absurd and useful techniques Allen could obtain from Yhwach.
It wasn't that Allen was using Yhwach's Schrift even though he had stolen "The Love" from Pepe. Allen had obtained the knowledge Yhwach left behind before dying, and he used that knowledge to replicate the technique called Schrift.
The power of each Quincy came from Yhwach's blood, and the Schrift given to the Sternritters was mixed with fragments of Yhwach's soul. A wonderful power often comes with a great price, and this case was no exception.
In that fragment of soul, all the skills, powers, abilities, experiences, and power that Quincy would gain were recorded. Yhwach could reclaim that fragment and, with it, all the power of the Quincy he desired, even to the point of killing the Quincy.
They, believing that their "father" would never abandon them, never thought about the real danger such a thing represented.
There is a grave misunderstanding regarding the Auswalen. That technique was exclusive to Yhwach because it consisted of reclaiming fragments of his soul and blood from the living Quincies. Jugram thought that this was irrefutable proof that Allen should be the new Quincy King, as he could "obtain" that power, just like he did with Pepe.
This situation opens the door to one more possibility. Jugram didn't dare to have high expectations, but in the back of his mind, he wondered if Allen kept absorbing Yhwach's soul fragments, he would eventually become him, or even "His Majesty" would reincarnate in him.
That was a mistake...
Allen never absorbed Yhwach's soul fragments like a Horcrux. Allen usurped that power, snatching it using the modified Auswählen, but without reclaiming the fragment. In Pepe's case, Allen stole Quincy's power, destroying the fragment in the process. But even if he didn't, Yhwach had no possibility of taking control of Allen's body. There was someone infinitely more powerful who tried to do that in the past, and everyone knows how that ended.
The reason Allen so easily left the Invisible Empire, despite having at his disposal such a powerful army like the Wandenreich, was because of this. Most of the Quincies still love and respect Yhwach unconditionally. The mere possibility that something had happened to Yhwach caused the Quincy Sternritters to split.
Once they learn that Yhwach is dead and Allen is the replacement, there will be a revolt, and only a third of the Quincies will follow Yhwach's will.
Allen didn't even know if Jugram would still be on his side once he found out that Allen was destroying Yhwach's soul fragments. That's why Allen was so reluctant to rely on the Quincies' help.
...
Allen frowned he felt his recovery was taking too long. But it was normal, the damage was not only physical but also spiritual.
Allen was forced to use his Shikai and bring Void to limit Aizen's power. This made him even more exhausted, but he had to do it, or the girls would not be able to take him on.
"Why did Aizen become so powerful?"
Gwen – It doesn't make sense... even if he restarted the world, how could he gain that power?
MJ – Allen, don't you think you're under the effects of Kyoka Suigetsu?
"I thought about that, I've thought about it for a long time, but I'm not stupid enough to face Aizen without a countermeasure against Kyoka Suigetsu..."
The condition to fall into the complete hypnosis of Kyoka Suigetsu was to see the release of his Shikai. It was easy to deduce that if it was something that required "seeing" Allen had to protect his eyes.
Allen created a kind of contact lens. They were invisible, imperceptible, and specifically designed to cancel out the effects of hypnosis, mind control, and any units capable of influencing the mind.
Allen wasn't under the effects of Kyoka Suigetsu... but that only applies to his Shikai; what about his bankai?
Aizen's bankai was one of the greatest mysteries in Bleach. He never used it, not against Ichigo, nor against Yhwach. The reason is that his bankai only worked with someone who was under the effects of Kyoka Suigetsu.
PercyJ – Oh man, so earlier Aizen lied when he said "Bankai."
Thor – I have... I had a brother who loved to lie and deceive, he would even do it if he were a god... I don't expect a mortal soul to be honest.
McDragon – Tsk, you scared me... so it was all a lie, what a deceptive guy...
Raven – Allen, I don't know much about that world, but can't bankai change?
"It's true, they can be altered!"
The Bankai is the ultimate release of a zanpakuto. Many believe that a bankai is a power destined for a shinigami to unlock when they reach the highest level of power and skill mastery.
But The Bankai are very varied and strange, as they give the impression that they are enhanced forms of a Shikai, like in the case of Hyorinmaru from Hitsugaya Toshiro.
On the other hand, they seem very suited to the personality of a shinigami. Like Mayuri's Bankai, a monster of poison that screams and cries when it emerges, something very fitting for a mad scientist. But what if Mayuri's personality weren't like that?
With this in mind, Allen also recalled that Mayuri modified his own Bankai, creating altered versions of it.
Not only that, but Bankai can evolve, as in the cases of Abarai Renji, Hitsugaya, and Kurosaki Ichigo, who managed to obtain enhanced versions of their Bankai in the canon.
Bankai has wills. This went to the extreme with Yachiru, a pink-haired girl who was the lieutenant of Zaraki Kempachi, but later turned out to be his sword, which had taken human form to accompany him.
Rick – You're screwed... I wouldn't be surprised if Aizen had modified or evolved his bankai just to defeat you...
Athena – Be careful, it's possible that the only weakness of that sword, Kyoka Suigetsu, may no longer exist!
Barbara – I was researching what kind of person Aizen was, and I also noticed the general power level in his world. Even though there are things that don't make sense, like the creation of his world and the reflected power that made the three worlds tremble, it wasn't coherent when fighting him. In general, it shouldn't be possible for a shinigami to reach that level.
Certainly, there are incoherent things, like the Bankai of the Zero Division, which were sealed to prevent them from destroying the worlds, but were they that strong? It really doesn't seem like any fight in Bleach could destroy a planet, let alone the three worlds. Or is it that those worlds are so fragile? If that's not the case, maybe they're not as big as they seem... I mean, if your power is large enough to make the world tremble, one single attack should divide a thousand galaxies or pierce multiple dimensions...
Allen shook his head as his mind began to wander.
Allen stood up from the ground, ready to continue the battle.
At that moment, 2B fell in front of Allen. Her clothes were slightly damaged, and she had some minor wounds. 2B quickly got up and stood guard, but Allen put his hand on her shoulder indicating that enough was enough.
"2B..."
"Master"
"Enough" As he said those words, all the dolls who had fought appeared at his side. This time, none of them had emerged unscathed, except for Rebecca, who had been fighting indirectly.
Esdeath had a grim look, still wanting to fight. Makima appeared indifferent but seemed to want to say something to Allen. Artoria had received several attacks that damaged her armor, but she was fine. Albedo smiled sweetly next to Allen, despite having some injuries.
"Thank you girls...you did too well"
Allen took a step forward, his power growing. Saying that he was angry would be an understatement for someone like him to see his girls hurt. Even if the wounds were minor, it was something that made him furious.
"Aizen, let's end this..."
In front of Allen, Aizen floated, having taken no damage. His power began to break the temporary seal Void had placed on him.
"Allen Walker... you are free to try..."
===
A/N: I know it's confusing whether Aizen used his Bankai or not and what power he has but that's the point. 🍷🗿
