Playing With Other Supernaturals-Chapter 1184 Dysfunctional World

Kisuke narrowed his eyes while Ouetsu stuttered, "D-dysfunctional world?"

"My master here knows what I meant, however, I said that not to disparage your Spirit King. What I'm saying is that I still wonder how it ended this way and what circumstances were present when he shaped this world." Tiamat replied before downing another cup of wine.

Ouetsu turned to Kisuke and asked, "What does she mean by that?"

Kisuke stayed silent for a few moments before opening his mouth again, "Do you know the various stories of reincarnation in the Human World?"

"Yes. And?"

"I've seen places where they cycle souls the same as those stories." Kisuke looked out of the window and saw a few individuals walking around, "Each of those places does it differently, but the basic idea is that the moment death comes, their souls leave their constraints and they return to the world and its flow. And at the end of that flow, a new life sprouts.

"Naturally, there are circumstances that would extract a soul from that flow, but all in all, this is a sacred and powerful flow that no one is allowed to tamper with, even the world itself. It's the law of life." fr eeweb novel

"Isn't that the same thing happening here?" Ouetsu asked.

Kisuke turned his back to him and snickered, "The same thing? Let me tell you. This world already failed on the first step, which is death. Don't lie to yourself and say that the destruction of the container is death. The only true death is the destruction or dispersal of the soul itself."

Ouetsu furrowed his brow and asked again, "You don't think the death of a Human is not death?"

"How can it be? The moment the soul of a Human leaves its constraints, the world immediately gives them a Spiritual body, converting them into a Plus. Regardless of whether they reach the Soul Society and wait for their new body and soul to disperse or become a Hollow to experience unending desires until their decay, their life has not ended, hence, there's no death.

"And when the afterlife is supposed to be a release and rest without the influence of anyone, why is it controlled by a group of powerful people? It doesn't make sense right? Why are we, who are supposed to be the enforcers of death, so disrespectful of it?" fr(e)enovelkiss

Ouetsu could feel the contempt from Kisuke's words, but he stayed silent and let him go on.

Kisuke himself knew that he was becoming a bit too emotional and also knew that he should stop here because it might push away this important 'comrade' that he just made. However, even if he shouldn't, he still wanted to, so he continued, "Nevertheless, I can't blame the Shinigamis who do their duties. After all, we have to do it for the sake of the world's balance and stop it from ending. It's a dysfunctional world that couldn't maintain itself if not for the interference of someone. I'm honestly quite impressed that this world is still intact, though at the sacrifice of countless souls that couldn't navigate it. I wouldn't necessarily call it evil, but it also doesn't mean it has to be this way."

Kisuke ended his venting, however, he did not regret it. He has always wanted to release the pent-up frustration that's been building up, but he couldn't simply let it go in front of Serafall who doesn't really understand how different this world is compared to hers, 'Just now, did I sound like a Demon Lord who wanted to destroy the world's fundamental structure?'

Naturally, Ouetsu also caught into this hidden meaning of his and asked, "Are you saying that you want to... restructure the 'afterlife'?"

"Aren't you too kind?" Kisuke suddenly said, "Don't you really want to ask if I want to destroy Soul Society and Hueco Mundo?"

Ouetsu sighed and added, "Do you?"

'Since it's too late to take back what I said and I have no intention of doing so...' Kisuke flashed a fearless grin and said, "If it's possible, why not? If it's impossible, then I won't bother."

A bit of killing intent immediately emerged out of Ouetsu, "Your idea of changing the status quo actually sounds a little nice to me, however, did you think I'll just allow you to sacrifice more life for that ideal?"

Ouetsu is now sure of it. Kisuke is the same as Aizen and Yhwach. They'll put the Soul Society and the other worlds in danger for their ideals and ambitions, 'Should I cut him here now?'

But beyond Ouetsu's expectations, he was shocked that Kisuke's expression suddenly mellowed out of nowhere.

"Sacrifice countless lives? If I did that, they'd lose all their respect for me and all the hardships and efforts I went through so far would be meaningless."

Ouetsu hurriedly turned to Tiamat because he was confused but he only became even more confused when he saw her looking at him with a small smile, almost a gentle expression actually.

"In the first place, I don't intend to make everyone my enemy since that would defeat the purpose of my coming here." Kisuke added, "I can't really prove you anything right now but I can assure you that if I'm going to dismantle the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, the Seireitei itself would continue its existence and the Shinigamis and Hollows won't disappear."

Ouetsu didn't understand what just happened but he had a feeling that he could actually trust him, 'This is the first... Maybe I should gamble on it now.'

Ouetsu sighed and stood up from his seat, "I still don't fully understand why this lady called this world dysfunctional nor why you are so certain that this is wrong, but let's continue that conversation at another time. It's about time someone notices my disappearance and I don't want to risk it."

Kisuke nodded in agreement and opened a portal that would take him back to the Human World.

Ouetsu took a step forward but before he took another step, he turned to Kisuke and said, "Yhwach could only defeat Hyousube because he's not a Shinigami but that's not the same case for you. If you want to get away from his influence, take the 'names' for yourself and bring out their real essence. If you can do that, even if he intends to erase it, he'll never be able to take it back from you. And for how you'd be able to do that, I wouldn't be in this position if I knew."
