Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 1342 Unexpected Guest

"And regarding your next question, you're misunderstanding something. We don't inherit our abilities like you guys. Not through blood nor through some ritual." Kisuke added.

It comes down to the difference in physiology between the Soul race and the Etouldes. In the first place, the Soul race doesn't have any unique abilities they are born with unlike the Etouldes and are only capable of manipulating Spiritual Power through systematic means like Kidou.

If there's something close to Etouldes' inheritable ability, it would be the Hollows and Quincies' inherited and innate techniques and abilities.

"It's an ability that was spawned from... well, circumstances."

Although Kisuke was being deliberately vague, Corvina was still able to figure out what he was talking about, "...That sword, huh... This is getting weirder and weirder."

"From my point of view, you guys are the weird ones. Every soul is different so how come you can inherit your innate abilities and be wildly different from clan to clan? Where did it all start? And my biggest question is, how can you guys transfer these abilities to others? Even considering that you have to find a compatible person, it's still a nonsensical thing for me."

Naturally, Corvina didn't have the answer for that nor was she obligated to give him one.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

She and Adrenna wanted to arrange their thoughts and gather more information from Draconic Deus because it's only now that they are realizing how little they know of Kisuke's quiet group compared to others vying for supremacy.

'Perhaps it's still too early. The situation within the Draconic Deus is explosive with fire all around it but I can't risk them meeting like this.' If it was any other person from the Draconic Deus, Corvina would have already led them to the Holy Mother, however, Kisuke was someone who could manipulate Spiritual Power in unknown ways and he was a genuine threat to every Etouldes out there. The Holy Mother may be untouchable, but she doesn't know what he could do to her. Corvina wanted to end it here, for now.

Kisuke doesn't have any real incentive to participate in a war that those who started it won't even make their appearance, 'It's a shame but I would have to convince Sona and the others to back out. And I would have to negotiate with Kyouraku-san too to let us stay in the Special Region... Haahhh... Too much work.'

But just as Corvina was about to relay her intention, a fourth voice resounded throughout the whole room, [That won't be necessary, Corvina.]

Kisuke's eyes narrowed and hurriedly scanned the surroundings without hiding what he was doing. But even after an extensive search, he found nothing, 'The voice actually came from our heads... Is it a communication device and the one on the other side watching all of this?'

But contrary to Kisuke's expectation, Corvina was also shocked and instantly stood up from her seat, "Master!?"

Adrenna, on the other hand, immediately lowered her head and made herself look as small as possible.

'Master?' Kisuke asked himself while still trying to trace the source of the voice.

The voice, however, ignored Corvina and directly addressed Kisuke, [This is the first time we would be talking, Kisuke Urahara. I'm Chimune Chipaoti. The one they call the Holy Mother.]

Kisuke's eyes went wide open and also stood up as he scanned his surroundings with further fervor.

[And before we start the next part of this conversation, I'd like to let you know that I'm watching through my disciple's senses.]

'Disciple's senses? I couldn't even sense that someone else was looking at me. Is it because it's Corvina who's observing me?' Kisuke turned to look back at Corvina but even after a whole minute of silently and rudely staring at her, he couldn't figure out anything, 'She also went silent, so this voice was probably talking inside her head. What do you think, Tiamat?'

[I also can't see any sort of fluctuation from her.]

Although it's just a single minute, the silence is making Adrenna very nervous, and thought that it would never end until the one who introduced herself as the Holy Mother to Kisuke added with a seemingly amused tone, [You still don't get it?]

"...Get what?" Kisuke muttered. A certain possibility crossed Kisuke's mind and he started getting nervous too, 'Fuck me... Please don't be like that.'

[Then I'll give you another clue. I consider everyone who received my blessing as my disciple.]

"Fuck me!" This time, Kisuke exclaimed out loud, "You're not trying to say you blessed Issei Hyoudou too, right?"

[But that's exactly what I did back then?]

"..." Kisuke could only be silent and even though he tried smiling, he couldn't control his mouth from twitching. Right now, he's having the same feeling and experience as when he first met Seraselbes, 'Don't these Transcendents have anything else better to do other than just coming out of nowhere like this!?'

[If she's reminding you like this, then she's probably aware of what's inside of your treasure box.]

'Don't say it... And here I thought I had the upper hand.' Kisuke's back was sweating profusely but he was doing her best not to show that in his expression, 'There's no way I can leave now, can I?'

Kisuke sighed and sat down, "I apologize if I'm being rude. I didn't have enough time to learn your etiquette."

[That's alright. I don't mind.] Chimune replied while Corvina also nervously sat back down, [You're someone who's capable of dictating the fate of many worlds so it should be me who's trying to earn that respect.]

Kisuke smiled wryly, "You're too humble... That I actually feel uncomfortable."

"Excuse me, master. But what do you mean that he's someone who's capable of dictating the fate of many worlds?" Corvina couldn't hold her curiosity back and interrupted to ask.

[Hmmm... There's really no easy way to answer that, but in simpler terms, the man in front of you is fully capable of destroying your clan and the worlds you occupy even if you prepare for it if he becomes serious. Quite easily in fact if he turns into a terrifying monster.]

" "!?" " Corvina and Adrenna couldn't believe what Chimune said and wanted to refute it immediately.

But before they could say anything, they heard another sigh from Kisuke, "You even saw that? Just so you know, that form is a product of special circumstances that I doubt would repeat."

[We have a nasty serial peeping tom in our hands it seems.] Tiamat muttered inside Kisuke's head.

'Don't ever come out and say that out loud. You hear me?'

[Are you sure? It's going to be an amusing reaction for you.]

'...'

[You hesitated.]

'Shut up.'
