Chapter 171 - Semblance of... (2/2)

I entered its realm, it was waiting for me. It didn't attack nor it tried to escape, is just there on a huge lake looking at me.

”Hello, child.”(Swan).

”Hello...”(Aizen).

How you start a conversation with someone that clearly isn't you enemy but you need to kill them, I always hated doing those mission on the Anbu, I always left with a bad taste in my mouth.

”So my time has come... I've held myself together for years awaiting my fated death...”(Swan).

”I would like to say that this is nothing personal and I am just doing it for the sake of my gree.”(Aizen).

”I don't mind, I should've been dead long ago... but a friend of mine told me of one of his visions... something about a new Buddha... someone so connected with nature itself... It would be an honor in helping you achieve something so great... And I was going to die anyway.”(Swan).

”I can definitely understand the feeling of wanting to give back to the world what you have taken. I will make sure to remember you, Swan.”(Aizen).

”Yes, Swan is very accurate. It has been so much time that my name lost its effect a meaning... Swan is an appropriate way to call someone such as myself...”(Swan).

”I will make it quick and painless. Rest in piece... Friend.”(Aizen).

”... Thank You.”(Swan).

I use my fourth skill ring, a golden ring flares to life under my feet. My hand is suddenly developed by a peaceful deathly aura. I simply came closer to the Swan and touch its head. It died instantly. No pain, no suffering, a simple and peaceful death.

A golden ring rises from the swan body. But I stopped for a moment as I can see the swan body dissipate in white petals, it was a beautiful sigh. But there is a Soul Bone left, the swan wings to be more specific. An external Soul Bone... What a rarity... Thank you, friend.

Now I know why I shouldn't have fused with the Torso bone before. I need to do everything together right now, both the Tose Bone, the external Bone, and my 7th Ring. I know why now... It brings change, and change is what I need right now.

I summon my now [100Thousand Armed Wooden Buddha] and start absorbing everything at the same time, both External and Torso Soul bone and the 7th Soul ring as well.

I was able to immediately feel a change, on my Martial Soul some cracks started appearing those cracks are shining in a golden color. And when everything was almost absorbed an explosion happens.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

The shell of my martial soul exploded revealing its new improved form, [Million Armed Golden Buddha] the now previously wooden figure is now made of pure gold shining with holy and bright light.

A new body part appeared in my back, it seamlessly fused with my body and is now literally part of my being, six pairs of wings now are growing out of my back. The previous three pairs had an evolution to six pairs.

Yes, I had a 2nd awakening, I didn't think it was possible, to be honest. But just the upgrade of my Martial Soul was worth it.

As my 7th Soul ring skill is pretty normal [True Avatar] like all martial Souls I gained my avatar skill on the 7th ring, there may be additional effects but I would have to test it before concluding anything, principally now with my second awakening.

Now the Soul Bones. The Torso Soul Bone granted me only one skill [Absolute Balance], and it's the most useful skill I have until today. This skill basically grants me absolute balance on anything, from balancing energy to balancing the weight of my body. Now the most obscure Kekkei Genkai I couldn't use previously are easily accessible by me, heck I can literally mix an element I want with my new absolute balance skill. Heck, even the Yin-Yang Release that I've been trying to do for a long time was finally achieved, with the absolute balance skill it becomes extremely easy to use it.

Next, there are my new wings, they look exactly like angel wings should, white goldish colored feathers and a holy aura coming from them, they seem to be extremely durable, more durable than the rest of my body anyway, maybe I can test more things with Allessa when I am home-

Suddenly when I thought about home my wings flapped, and in less than a blink of an eye, I was in my living room.
