"Ah! That hurts!"
"My face!"
Everyone cried out in pain at the same time.
But instead of complaining about Eevee, they all burst into grins.
"It worked! Our magic and Pokémon energy can now merge directly!"
"Yeah! This new power is definitely stronger than either one alone. I wonder what will happen if we also integrate chakra, reiatsu, internal energy, and Haki. How powerful would it become?"
"So, what should we call this power?"
Since it was a fusion of different energy systems, and they would likely merge even more types in the future, everyone agreed that it needed a strong and universal name.
"How about 'Divine Power'?" suggested Hero Renzo.
As they continued to combine different energy sources, he felt that the essence of this power would eventually reach the level of divinity.
"Too basic," Aizen immediately rejected. "Reaching the level of a god is inevitable, so 'Divine Power' is too ordinary. Let's call it 'Origin Power' instead."
"It signifies the origin of all things and represents the idea that this power will eventually become the foundation of all energy across the multiverse. What do you think?"
Aizen had high ambitions. The title of 'god' wasn't enough to satisfy him.
His goal was to surpass the divine.
Ideally, he wanted an endless path ahead, so he could keep chasing it—
Of course, with his women by his side...
"I like it!" Uchiha Renzo immediately raised his hand in approval.
"Agreed!"
"No objections!"
"Same here!"
"Count me in!"
Everyone voted in favor.
It was simple and powerful.
At that moment, Hermione spoke up. "Alright then, everyone, just wait for my good news!"
"Of course," she turned to Aizen. "Once I succeed with my first transformation, I'll need your expertise on spiritual evolution when I start transforming into other magical creatures."
"Whenever you need me, just ask!" Aizen nodded without hesitation.
This research was valuable for his studies on souls.
The soul structures of magical creatures didn't exist in the Bleach world, making them an invaluable resource for him.
"If I fully understand them, I should be able to create these races in my world with Fantasy Creation."
"Also, my body should be capable of evolving, but meeting my standards would require an immense amount of mental energy… probably more than I'll ever have."
After all, his strength continuously increased over time, growing in sync with his Origin Power.
It was an endless cycle.
"So, I need to develop equipment that can enhance my mental energy… and something to store it as well," Aizen thought to himself.
"Well then, I'll be off! Everyone, wait for my good news!"
With that, Hermione exited the consciousness space.
Clap!
At that moment, Uchiha Renzo clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.
"Next, I want us all to work together to merge chakra into Origin Power. Analyzing chakra will require everyone's help—doing it alone would take too long!"
He was eager to integrate chakra into Origin Power as soon as possible.
Once that happened, the new Origin Power would inherit chakra's properties, allowing him to use it for jutsu.
And naturally, its power and effectiveness would be off the charts.
"I wonder if it'll surpass Sage Chakra… or maybe I should obtain Sage Chakra first?" Renzo pondered.
At that moment, Aizen spoke up.
"There's no rush. I think you should get Sage Chakra first. Once you have it, we can analyze Sage Chakra directly. It'll save us from having to go through this process twice."
Clearly, Aizen had already considered this point.
"Uh…"
Hentai Renzo suddenly raised a counterpoint. "Wait a minute. Isn't the ultimate form of chakra supposed to be Kekkei Mōra and Truth-Seeking Orbs? Even if we analyze Sage Chakra first, won't we still have to go through this process again later?"
"Is that really the case?"
Gundam Renzo interjected. "I remember that Kekkei Mōra and Truth-Seeking Orbs aren't considered standard applications of chakra."
"For example, Wood Release is still performed using basic chakra as its source."
"The same goes for Truth-Seeking Orbs."
"They're just the result of perfectly combining all seven chakra natures. But that doesn't mean chakra isn't the fundamental energy source. It's just an advanced application!"
"Even Kaguya and the Ōtsutsuki clan still use chakra as their base power, right?"
It was important not to confuse these concepts.
"Exactly," Uchiha Renzo agreed. "Gundam Renzo is right. Chakra is still the foundation. I'll head to Ryūchi Cave to learn Sage Mode first, then I'll come back so we can analyze it together. See you guys later!"
With that, he left immediately.
"How about we analyze my energy next?"
Swordsman Renzo suggested.
Aizen sighed. "You just want an excuse to slack off. your low energy isn't that complicated—it won't take you more than a few days to analyze on your own. Handle it yourself! I'll be working on reiatsu. Anyone interested can join me!"
"Or… we can just take a few days off."
Everyone had been working hard, and using their eyes for long periods—especially omniscience abilities—was mentally exhausting.
Swordsman Renzo: "…"
Damn, I got caught?
As expected of Aizen!
"I'm almost done refining the life-extending potion. I don't have time right now. Let's talk about this later." Apocalypse Renzo shook his head.
"My Coordinator gene-enhancement serum is also near completion, so I'll need a bit more time as well." Gundam Renzo also declined.
Pirate Renzo shrugged. "I've got time, count me in. Reiatsu is something I've always been curious about. I want to see if it can merge with Haki first."
The two seemed to have great compatibility.
"Good idea! Give it a shot. Ultimately, we're going to integrate Haki into the Origin Power anyway."
Aizen nodded in approval.
Demon Slayer Renzo spoke up, "I'm in too! I've always been interested in Shinigami powers. If I can merge them into Origin Power as soon as possible, then maybe I won't even need sunlight-based techniques. I could just use soul-cutting to kill Muzan directly."
"Wait, what?!"
Swordsman Renzo gave Demon Slayer Renzo an incredulous look. "You still haven't taken out Muzan?! With your current strength, you should've been able to wipe him out ages ago! What the hell are you waiting for? A festival or something?"
That was just embarrassing…
"Seriously, why is it taking so long?"
The others also shook their heads in disappointment.
He was just dealing with a slightly stronger-than-average Demon King, nothing major.
Especially considering Demon Slayer Renzo had Domain Projection!
And now that Aizen was involved, wielding a Zanpakuto against demons was the perfect counter.
No matter how strong their regeneration was, if their soul was cut down in one slash, what was left to regenerate?
"Uh… heh heh…"
Demon Slayer Renzo scratched his head awkwardly. "I've just been busy mastering different Breathing Techniques. I even got my hands on Sun Breathing and have trained it to a high level. I wanted to experiment with merging various styles into something even more advanced!"
"I have been working hard!"
Pirate Renzo scoffed. "Oh, please. You just wanted to delay things so you could spend more time with Shinobu, Kanae, and Mitsuri, didn't you?"
"You're afraid that once Muzan is gone, they'll all go their separate ways. Am I right?"
Did he really think he could hide his little schemes from the others?
Their memories were all shared.
This wasn't even classified information.
Oh well.
Most of them just didn't bother digging into each other's memories in detail…
Except for Pirate Renzo, who was easily bored.
Demon Slayer Renzo: "…"
"You nosy bastard! You really have nothing better to do, huh? How deeply did you snoop into my memories?!"
Demon Slayer Renzo looked at Pirate Renzo in disbelief.
Pirate Renzo grinned. "Heh heh! After finishing my daily training, I get pretty bored drifting on the sea. Going through everyone's memories is actually pretty entertaining, don't you think?"
"Especially Hentai Renzo, good job bro! You are the best at entertaining me. Hehehe~"
All the Renzo variants: "…"
Dealing with such a nosy guy was beyond exhausting.
"You should put that effort into helping Aizen analyze Reiatsu."
Everyone looked at Pirate Renzo.
"Alright, alright! I get it!" Pirate Renzo raised his hands in surrender.
It's not like he had much else to do anyway.
The problem was…
His talent was so ridiculously high that he mastered anything he tried almost instantly.
He had originally expected Haki to be difficult to train, but…
Well, turns out, it wasn't.
At this point, even though he still did his daily Haki training, his progress was absurdly fast.
For now, it was more than enough.
Then, everyone turned back to Demon Slayer Renzo and sighed.
"And you! Stop messing around with girls and finish Muzan off already! Get that formula as soon as possible! If you keep delaying, we might not even need it anymore!"
"Alright, alright! I got it!"
Demon Slayer Renzo nodded repeatedly.
Then, everyone's gaze simultaneously shifted toward Hentai Renzo.
Hentai Renzo: "…"
His body stiffened under their scrutiny. "W-Why are you all looking at me like that?! I've been making significant contributions to the group's mental well-being, alright?!"
He was working really hard, okay?!
Every single day!
All the Renzos: "…"
What a damn weirdo.
"…Forget it. We're not even going to bother with you. Just hurry up and get your hands on a Time-Stop Watch or some other reality-altering artifact."
Aizen waved him off.
The others all nodded in agreement.
