81 Another time skip

(Senjumaru POV)

Finally! Finally, after all this time it was time for me to see him again. I think I'll just leave now. I've had enough of this. Well, actually it is time for us to welcome a new member into the Zero Division. Tenjiro Kirinji is the one who invented Kaido. This is not even true since it was Hades who invented Kaido along with 99% of all the other Kido as well. But for some reason, they can't give Hades the credit and now it is Tenjiro who gets accepted into the Royal Guard.

But all of that is unimportant. I am going to see him again after all these years. I can't wait. The Quincy war was ... unpleasant for Hades. He tried to make his father see reason, but he was ... too far gone. Hades said that he expected it to happen anyway. I don't understand it but I am fine with it.

The Shinigami student of Hades, Shigekuni Yamamoto established an organisation called the Gotei 14 to fight for and protect the Soul Society. I wonder how they managed to coax Hades into this mess. I can't see him attend any meetings or follow orders from anyone.

Unsurprisingly the Quincy war was over faster than they could blink. Hades showed why he was the god of death and the Underworld in his ruthlessness. No matter who it was, he killed them and the war ended very quickly.

.

We made our way to the Tenchuren. I don't think I have seen these two for the last millennia. I was busy training and spending time on my own. I wouldn't spend time with Ichibe Hyosube even if he was the last man alive.

"Oi Senjumaru, how've you been yo?", Oetsu asked.

"I've been good Oetsu."

"So you excited to go down again? It's been a while."

"I am indeed excited to go back down after all these years."

We stand in the Tenchuren and it fires us down towards the Seireitei. After a few seconds, the Tenchuren lands and the door slowly opens. I can hardly contain my excitement. I can feel him ... I can feel his presence. Since I have learned Haki, I have gotten very good at distinguishing between individuals. And I have no doubt that he is the brightest and also the darkest presence here.

His power is almost blinding. I need to be careful when I use Kenbunshoku Haki next to him ... oh, it seems he noticed and toned it down. What a man.

.

We walk out of the Tenchuren and Ichibe greets everyone here.

"Welcome to the Seireitei, Manako Osho.", Yamamoto Shigekuni says. I have only eyes for one person here. I see him standing to the back, not at all concerned with the pleasantries and only looking at me with a smile. I can feel his emotions ... he feels the same way I do.

Without staying any longer, I flash to him, grab him and then flash away to his home. He lets me take him of course but that is natural.

I don't control my speed and we end up somewhere in the Rukongai. I stop and face Hades ... we look at each other with burning intensity. And then ... we kiss. Finally after all these years .... !!!!

"I missed you ... Senjumaru."

"I missed you too. I-", I want to speak and tell him how much I regretted my decision to leave him and become strong 'on my own' but he stops me.

"It is a decision I can respect. So don't look down on your choice. Come, let us go somewhere nicer."

(3rd Person POV)

Hades and Senjumaru talked for hours. It was mostly Senjumaru telling Hades about her experiences, what she learned and how she had grown. She expressed the disapproval and also the happiness of some of the Special Quests. Hades listened to her for hours. He didn't care about whether she had to go back, this was their moment together.

"I still can't believe that you made me fight someone who isn't even born yet. And there are three of those. They are seriously strong, Hades!", Senjumaru complained about the Special Quest.

"So you have passed the 6th one and are now doing the 7th ... that is impressive Senju. I have no doubt that you will defeat those four quickly. What do you think of them?"

"I like Shiraori a lot, but she is very dangerous. She has the most skills of all four. The one who calls himself Ryomen Sukuna is a monster. He doesn't care about anything but slaughter and I despise him for that. But I can't help but respect his strength. Especially that 'Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine'. Very devious.

Then there is this Shinigami-Hollow hybrid. Sosuke Aizen ... He will be born here and you just outright make me fight him at his peak? What are you thinking? But I guess it doesn't matter. His Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu would be a problem since he doesn't even have to show you his release to trap you. Haki came in clutch though and the only problem is his immortality. But I have this covered.

Then we have the last one. The alien conqueror Boros. He is pure power. There is no subterfuge or anything like that. His power is outrageous but not impossible for me to handle. Especially after training for so long.", Senjumaru explained.

"So you are about to finish this one as well? You have truly grown more powerful Senju. I am proud of you."

"... Hades ... I- I don't want to go back. I don't care about those stupid rules and customs. I just wish to stay with you."

"That can be arranged. I'll just create an illusion and make it seem like you're still here and we'll leave. I wanted to show you the Underworld for a very long time now. So if you wish, we can go back to my home Universe and you can train there."

"You know what ... I'd like that. Let's do it."

"As you wish."

.

Senjumaru and Hades left the world of Bleach and went on the journey to go back to DC. During this travel, Hades slowed down time to give Senjumaru time to train. She wasn't ready for DC yet. The 7th Special Quest was not easy but when you compare it with the DC comics, it isn't anything special. No matter if Lord Boros could destroy the planet, Superman could do that by just stepping too hard.

There are so many ridiculously powerful characters in DC that Hades found it important for Senjumaru to grow and finish the Special Quests 7 and 8 as well.

That was the Special Quest #6. It wasn't anything outrageous. Vanessa Enoteca was amped up to have similar physical capabilities as Senjumaru. The only problem then was Vanessa's magic, the red string of fate. This was a very tricky and also powerful magic which allowed Vanessa to manipulate the fate of anything the small red cat touched.

This made defeating her annoying and quite a task, but Senjumaru managed to pull through. It wasn't hard to dodge the small cat with Haki but killing Vanessa was harder than it seemed. Her speed and the small cat were always there when she needed it. The Cat itself was not killable, since it wasn't alive to begin with.

So Senjumaru did the only thing that made sense to her. She did what the Quest wanted of her. She levelled up her Thread manipulation to take control over the small cat and stop the technique. It was what Hades wanted to teach her. On one hand but on the other, Senjumaru got to understand the small cat and the power it held.

Fate ... such a powerful tool. This weak woman was made so annoying and powerful with just this small-scale manipulation of fate. Once Senjumaru was powerful enough to take control of the small cat of fate, she began to research and feel the changes that made the red string of fate so powerful.

So Senjumaru would not clear the dungeon just to get more and more familiar with the technique of Vanessa. And it was worth it. After some time of getting more familiar, Senjumaru was able to use something similar. The feeling of manipulating fate was not unlike her Bankai.

That was a major feat on her part and the dungeon was instantly cleared after that.

|CONGRATULATIONS ON FIGURING OUT THE POWER OF FATE ON YOUR OWN! SPECIAL REWARDS WILL BE GIVEN.

.

| GAIN SPECIAL ITEM:

NAME: Skill: RED THREAD OF FATE (special)

ITEM CLASS: A

TYPE: Runestone

DESCRIPTION: A runestone that allows you to gain the skill of Vanessa Enoteca. It allows you to gain minor control over fate.|

.

This was huge ... but also not really. Senjumaru had figured this out on her own, just by observing the technique. But she couldn't complain ... especially when the next text appeared.

|ADDITIONAL REWARDS:

DUE TO FIGURING OUT THIS SKILL ON YOUR OWN, THE SYSTEM HAS GRANTED THE USER +50 LV TO THE SKILL.|

.

Now this was huge. A +50 in levels was something that required her to have a deep understanding of fate. But she was just gifted this for free. It showed how her hard work was rewarded. She was thankful for that and also surprised. This was the way for her into the big leagues. Fate was unexplored territory for her.

The +30 AP was nice but nothing amazing. What was amazing and a bit scary was the last reward. The next dungeon key.

.

| UNDISCLOSED REWARD: ITEM

NAME: Powerhouse's Dungeon Key

ITEM CLASS: A

TYPE: KEY

DESCRIPTION: A key that allows you to create an instant dungeon containing four powerful characters from across the multiverse. They aren't what you would call good people but maybe you'll enjoy one of their companies.

ENEMIES:

- Sosuke Aizen (TYBW)

- Ryomen Sukuna (20 Fingers)

- Lord Boros (Full Power)

- Shiraori (Zoa Ele)|

.

These were the rewards for passing the 6th Special Quest. And now she was on her 7th.

This was the 7th Quest and Senjumaru was not quite finished with it. But she was making tremendous progress and was soon to be finished with this.

"So what do you want me to do?"

"I want you to try and clear the dungeon. I will see what went wrong and we will discuss it afterwards. That will increase the speed at which you can go back and try again."

"I see. So you will heal me afterwards as well?"

"Certainly."

"Cool, then let us start."

.

They spend the journey across Universes and back to the DC Universe training like this. It wasn't long before Senjumaru finally defeated the four characters and cleared the dungeon. This meant that she would not be able to get to the second to last Special Quest. Hades had prepared something very special for the last stage, after she had cleared all the Special Quests.
