Chapter 72 - Titled Part. II (1/2)
Keiko after meeting with the soul king learned many things, firstly Yhwach was an imprinted will of the soul king which wanted to absorb Soul king's soul while adding his consciousness thus giving him both the power to rule as a god while not being trapped under the rules of world laws.
Secondly, the soul king has trapped the entire Bleach world realm in the space lock which was his power due to which it is hidden away from rest of the gods thus making it a safe place for Keiko to stay and hid in after he had controlled soul king and take control over the domain. Which brought him to his next discovery and an important decision. Keiko found out the most important thing which is that when soul king comes out of the crystal, the Soul King in addition to being fall under the world laws would also become an existence which is part of heaven as a lesser god thus information about the ongoing activities of the god realm would be available to him, which would mean that Keiko while dragging and destroying Soul king using world laws can use the divinity connection of Soul King to find out news about his Asuna. But doing so would as Keiko estimates a mark of Soul King's divinity which can be used by others to find bleach world even when it's hidden in the space vortex. Thus Keiko had to choose if he wanted to use Soul King as a radio or keep his hidden place hidden.
Thirdly, Soul king was much easier to deal with than he expected, his original plan was to gain everything from this world and leave then return when he is powerful enough to take on Soul King but now after reading the memories of the Soul king he understood that the soul king was in deep shit if he ever tries to leave the Crystal, the world laws will either destroy him or leave him in a mortal state which is why Soul king wanted Yhwach dead, he planned to use the body of Yhwach as his when Yhwach will which now has formed its consciousness destroyed.
Keiko after thinking a bit about it decided to use soul king as a radio to listen to news about Asuna, the gods which sent him to this world already knew about the location of this world. As they sent him to soul king doorsteps already.
With a clear mindset and goal, Keiko went to the Human world and looked into the world seed project which Hope informed him is already done. Hope following Keiko's instructions along with the help of his Hollow army also created Nanotech in quantity to cover everything.
With no sign of Arranrac showing up in the Human world, Keiko assumed that Aizen is following along his suggestion and looking for Yhwach. With this development, Keiko launched the World seed into the world. He had with his estimation little less than 2 years before Yhwach revives and starts acc.u.mulating powers. With Timeline, Keiko started slowly spreading his nanotech into everything from food to water thus making all humans infected with nanotech, Keiko only needed around 2 nanotech to be present in any human to forcefully upload person's consciousness into the world seed.
On one hand, his human world company expanded into everything and everywhere, while on other Hope started creating Sleeping chambers in the number in billions in the form of Hibernation chambers.
Keiko left his Arrancar and Vasto Lorde to take care of everything in the Human world while also training. He had 20 Arrancar and 50 Vasto Lorde which all took 3 shifts and overlooked all projects in the human world using their Artificial Gagai which Keiko has developed.
Keiko himself being on the clock returned to the Soul Society. Ichigo was questioned and experimented on by various people to understand his powers. Mayuri tested his body while Oetsu tested his Zanpakuto, Ochibe tested the nature of the energy he expelled. Orihime power where a mystory to everyone, Mayuri or Kirio were able to find anything about it.
Keiko after knowing there was a way of knowing about Asuna wasn't in the mood to play around anymore. Keiko first ordered his Hollow army to increase their power and train harder. He also felt that it's time for Ichibe to take some rest from this world so he started forming a plan to remove him and Tenjio for one set for all. Oetsu was stilled needed as he wanted to meet each spirit of Zanpakuto in existence and leave an imprint on each of them using his black matter.
The spirit according to what Oetsu has told Keiko was that they resided in a very secluded seal and hidden part within soul society itself which is only known to him few other people. When it is decided that a shinigami is worthy but hasn't found a worthy Zanpakuto then on the recommendation of Center 46 Oetsu opened the pathway like done in the case of Toshiro Hitsugaya and his now dead friend Sojiro Kusaka.
Keiko along with his Hollow army was powerful enough to deal with all 3 portions standing between him and soul king, Aizen with his Hollows, Yamamoto and rest of the shinigami supporting soul king and lastly Yhwach along with his Quincy followers. But Keiko wanted Yhwach to come out himself so that everything can end at once.
Keiko returned to the Soul Society and acted like nothing happened while on one hand continuing his experimenting with Bounts and another observing Ichigo and Orihime powers up close. Ichigo's soul was special as it could contain 2 spirits of different kinds and power thus making him an interesting test subject while Orihime powers drove directly from her soul created due to her nature.
Keiko let Yamamoto and the rest of the people run around and do the test on Ichigo and Orihime powers while he focused on Bounts. Ugaki had turned into a powerful person after consuming the pure soul which Keiko had given him but with so much power of a pure soul, his soul started to burn a little. Keiko seeing this started feeding Ugaki more and more souls. With dramatic power-up, Ugaki screamed in pain continuously, his doll hungry for more power left Ugaki side and followed all orders of Keiko the person giving the soul instead.
Painfully after 3 months, Ugaki died with his soul completely erased. Keiko seeing this started understanding more about souls in general.
Soul king's memories didn't consist a lot about Soul only his method of using it in the reincarnation cycle. Keiko wasn't able to get all the memories from Soul King as he had not absorbed the entire soul but only Half of it when he used the Human path on him. If he had consumed the entire soul then the world balance the soul king had created would have been lost. Hope also informed him that his soul after the absorption has increased leaps and bounds. While Soul King's powers were halved due to Keiko, his powers have increased to at least fully charge 4 God trees.
Keiko after done with Pure Soul consumption with his understanding of the bounts soul, started trying to modify a soul of a human into a bounts. After numerous tries, he was able to imprint a fake version of the soul turning a human into Bount.
All the expriments which Keiko did were within his dimension thus leaving no trace to follow behind or chances of anyone ever knowing anything about him. Keiko's dimension was part of his soul thus not under the preview of the world laws as he was from his understanding not under the world laws. Keiko thinking this brought out the Human immortal he has created out of there. The world laws in the form of lightning destroyed the Human as soon as he was brought out. Keiko stood on the side and watched as he didn't want to mess with world laws and tribunals again after his experience in one piece world.
Keiko seeing this understood only he was the exception, almost Completed with his bounts project, he checked the soul of the reproductive Bounts to understand what made her special. After all research into her soul and understanding more about the nature of the soul which world laws have let it exist even when it's the kind which was out of the boundary of supernatural, he after done with his reseach let Jin Kariya using EMS had him do the little ritual thus creating Bittos.
Feeding the souls of a different kind of learning how to create them. Keiko was finally done with Bounts after 3 months. Bittos which were created by Kariya extracted the soul of a human while alone taking the specific part of it thus making it unstable and turning the human from which it is extracted into nothing but ash. Keiko after understanding Kariya's Bittos started using his approach of creating different types of Bittos, to extract souls from Hollows, Shinigami's alike. This project took more than 7 months to complete leading to the creation of the Bittos army for Keiko for all kinds. Hollows, Shinigami or Quincy had a different kind of Bittos which could extract souls from them thus turning them into ashes.
With his other army, Keiko once again turned his attention to Soul society, After 7 months of interrogations and research, nothing was found regarding Orihime and Sado to explain the bases or limits of their power. With both of them not done any kind of crime or harm in the soul society or the human world, Ichibe let them leave soul society and continue their day to day life. Keiko for being about to identify was also told to came and work to find answers which he flat out refused, Keiko was just like one of the high ranking members of the royal guard thus he had the chose to refuse anything which he wished, Soul King under the influence of EMS also agreed with Keiko's side. Letting him run around free.
While in the case of Ichigo was also released from Soul Society who wanted him to be their ally rather than an enemy in the upcoming battle. Yamamoto originally intended to Kill Ichigo and destroy the source of abomination one seat for all but with arguments from Byakuya, Yoruichi and some other captain's along with the suggestion from Keiko and Oetsu, that Ichigo has done nothing wrong and can be used in the battle against Aizen as he hasn't seen his Shikai making him a valuable asset. Thus Yamamoto, in the end, instructed everyone to train Ichigo and make him a soldier within the Soul society. After 1 year and 3 months, Ichigo was finally permitted to return to the human world and live with his family as humans.
With inconsistency in the timeline, Keiko let the Gotei 13 play out with filler arc, creating it as a sort of test from them to overcome. Keiko in the meanwhile started training his Hollow army making them more powerful.
