Results and plans

(Oetsu POV)

This was weird in the beginning. After I exited the fusion reactor, I felt like I had lost all of my body functions. It was like inhabiting a new body. Very weird experience. Thankfully the Med-Scan helped me figure out the problem. It seemed like I was in need of some nutrients. The good thing was that my adaptation seemed to be working already because I felt less and less hungry the longer I lay on the hospital bed. 

Thankfully Kikimaru arrived with a very big feast for me to enjoy. I felt like a Saiyan at that moment. It was surprising that my cells had changed so much. I was expecting to have all the different cells integrate and exist beside the other cells. But that didn't happen. It seemed like I had gotten completely new cells with new functions. 

I got an in-depth analysis of the Nanomachines that had activated after eating enough food for one month. This initial nutrition was necessary to jumpstart my entire body and now ... I would not even need any more food, because should I get hungry again, my adaptation would kick in and take care of that. 

Nano was also helpful in telling me more things about my new existence than the Med-Scan could. I had full control over every part of my body. And that's not all. Nano told me that the Hogyoku had integrated fully into the Eight-Handled Wheel and was more than it was in the story. I had created something more than just an orb that manifested your desires. 

I was proud of my newfound power and the growth I was experiencing. The 'boundaries' between Shinigami, Hollows and Quincy were taken down the more time passed. I knew that the Hogyoku would do exactly what I wished and nothing else. But it also was independent in the way that I didn't actively have to think about wanting to adapt to something ... that would happen automatically.

Speaking of adaptation and evolution ... it was off the charts. I already had limitless potential thanks to the Essence of the Blank but I never really trained at all. So feeling myself getting stronger was ... very satisfying. I wanted to get stronger and begin my training. But I was never a big training guy. And why would I train if I had such powerful adaptability and evolution? 

So all I was going to do was just fight different people ... And I wasn't sure whether it was smarter to use the mannequins and upgrade them, or just leave the Bleach universe and then go to other words and fight strong people. 

It seemed like my new body and the strengthened soul have heightened my adventurous spirit and my wish to experience new things and not just rot in my forge or talk with Senjumaru or my Zanpakuto ... I'll see what I can do in the coming years. Maybe I can leave the Zero Division ... nah, probably not. 

.

.

I began to test out my abilities one by one. I tried to see how fast I could evolve and adapt to new challenges. It turned out ... very fast. I could adapt to anything I wished and at unimaginable speeds. I walked farther and farther into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and adapted as I walked further away from the centre. 

My Stand Master's Hammer, also improved as my soul grew stronger. 

Destructive Power: A

Speed: A 

Range: A

Persistence: A

Precision: B

Developmental Potential: ∞

The best part was that I hadn't even applied the effects of the Requiem Arrow. So this wasn't even its final form. The only thing lacking was its precision but only because I hadn't trained with Master's Hammer much. I tried to feed it some metals and then have it build and construct some things as well as use it to help me make the HTC but that was it. 

I would grow stronger in this regard anyway so I didn't have to worry though, and let's be honest ... those were some amazing stats already for a Stand. 

.

.

Now let us talk about the paradox I had created ... the Hogyoku Mk. ∞ fused with the Eight-Handled Wheel was, to say it lightly ... a humongous cheat. Yes, this was a stroke of genius on my part and I didn't even realise it before. Let us first go over what the Hogyoku, in its normal 'Aizen' form, actually did. 

Desire Materialization: 

- Though initially thought to solely possess the power to control the boundary of the two contravening existences, that of Shinigami and Hollows, this was proven incorrect. 

- Rather, the Hogyoku's true power is the ability to absorb the desires of those around it and manifest them into reality. 

-> So the Hogyoku takes the desires of the one it sees as its master, in this case, me and manifests the desires into reality. It was a miniature Dragon Ball without the limited wishes, the necessary activation code and the 1 year waiting time.

However, this power is not without limitations. The Hogyoku itself is merely a guiding force - it can only manifest the desires of those with the strength to carry them out. 

Meaning ... if I did not have the potential to reach unimaginable heights, the Hogyoku also wouldn't do anything for me and it would then become a useless orb. BUT!!!! But ... what about those who, I don't know ... have unlimited potential?

That's right, I have unlimited potential thanks to the Essence of the Blank. Meaning that I have the strength and potential to reach any heights I wish. 

--> This results in an indefinite amount of powerups that I can get from the Hogyoku. And since my Hogyoku Mk. ∞ was so much more powerful than the original, there was nothing standing between me and the sky.

I have become a monster. A monster beyond compare. The only thing to do now was to go out and fight with all sorts of people. Now the Blood's Oath Seal was there to prevent us Royal Guards from fighting recklessly, but I had created the thing ... I had long since transferred the seal to a special device I had created back then.

But nothing spoke against me buttering up Ichibe and asking him whether he would spar with me. I will tell him that I'm out of ideas for now and want to use my bones again. I'm sure that Ichibe would love to spar with me and 'show me my place'. The best thing I could do then was to copy his skills into a mannequin I would create. 

Maybe I could get some of the ink that Ichibe uses in his Shikai. That is the biggest threat but just maybe ... I wasn't sure whether his ink would take away all of my powers of adaptation and evolution ... I had to find another solution in case I don't get the chance to research the ink ... and I think I already have some ideas.

The inverted Spear of Heaven was the weapon I was thinking about right now. It had the power to stop all techniques it came in contact with. Now this weapon came from the Jujutsu Kaisen world and usually only worked on cursed techniques. But that wasn't something that would hold me back. I had created things from other anime and manga as well as comics and made them work in this world, so that would not stop him.

The Inverted Spear of Heaven was not only perfect against Ichibe, but it was also what I planned to use against Lille Barro. If Lille Barro opens his left eye three times, he can keep it open, making him intangible and not any form of attack, not even Kido worked then. But with the Inverted Spear of Heaven ... that was another story. 

.

If the Inverted Spear of Heaven didn't work, I had another idea as well. There was something else, another weapon that would surely work no matter how strong Lille Barro thought he was. 

And that weapon was Tsumugari Muramasa!!!

Tsumugari Muramasa is a sword that can purge resentment, cut through bonds, fate, causality, and destiny, and slice through the idea of karma itself. However, using it will cause you to perish if you are not a 'god'. But that wasn't something that was a problem for me. I would reach such stages sooner rather than later and then I will be able to use Tsumugari Muramasa without problems. 

But there were more things other than that. There was also the Absolute Sword - Endless Three-Stage, also from the Fate series. 

Using this was a certain death technique and essentially even cut things that did not exist and those that could not be forcibly removed from the world. So killing Gerard Valkyrie was not a problem with this sword. 

.

Coming back to the world of Bleach I was thinking about creating Sayafushi. My Zanpakuto similar to my Stand had the ability to grow and become stronger if I worked on it. And what's more, it had the power to seal any form of weapon, making it unusable for anyone other than Oetsu. 

But the coolest and most dangerous ability of my Zanpakuto: Hakkōhyakuhachijūichi Shō (Eighty-Eight Nights), was that it had 88 slots that could be filled with other Zanpakuto. 

What did that mean in detail?

This meant that Oetsu could create weapons like Tsumugari Muramasa, the Inverted Spear of Heaven, the Absolute sword, Mjolnir, the Ultimate Nullifier, create all these weapons as Zanpakuto and then designate a slot for each of them in Hakkōhyakuhachijūichi Shō. 

There were 88 slots for other Zanpakuto. 88 potentially overpowered Zanpakuto that my Zanpakuto could turn into whenever I wished, as long as a weapon was a Zanpakuto and it was designated to a slot. And the best thing was that I could switch around or change the weapons I had already designated a spot to. 

The versatility of my Shikai alone was ... truly impressive.

(3rd Person POV)

Oetsu got into a rhythm after his successful fusion with the Eight-Handled Wheel. He spent more time training as well as with Senjumaru to just talk and drink some tea. 

His projects were considerably less than they were before, but there was still an impressive amount of things he wanted to do. Apart from all the tools and weapons he planned to create, Oetsu also wanted to check out some new potions and serums he could create. 

The most basic and cliché one he thought of was the Super Soldier Serum. It was one of the most famous. There were more, however. There was the bigger brother called the Golden Sentry Serum, then there was the Goblin Formula and so on. The Golden Sentry Serum was something which interested me. 

Robert Reynolds used to be a drug addict and after he took the Golden Sentry Serum he ... well became something that was nigh impossible to kill. He was essentially his own enemy in the regard that he was crazy and had developed a second personality called the Void, which tried to destroy all life. But the Sentry was a seriously powerful character. 

Something else that might prove to be useful was Platinum Kryptonite. Oetsu had not used it yet to gain the powers of a Kryptonian. He wasn't sure about the effects it had on him before. But now that he was something else entirely, he will attempt it. The power of the Golden Sentry Serum would complement the powers of a Kryptonian. 

That was due to the Sentry having the powers of 1 million exploding suns. 

Well, Oetsu still had lots to do and he was already planning what worlds to travel to should he choose to do so.
