The Path of the Great Sovereign 118 The Final Step

Tatsuo looked at the disgruntled Yhwach with great interest as he dropped down out the sky to the defense line below. On the sidelines his attendant Soul Reapers already knew what the Head Captain want as they already had prepared a new batch of mint tea.

Accepting the cup Tatsuo blew the steam away leisurely as the Army of Quincy got into formation. Yhwach started to grow annoyed at the Theatrics and launched an attack toward the Head Captain whose eyes were still small slits as he embraced the refreshing taste of the mint tea.

"Since you refuse to speak then die!"

Yet what Yhwach excepted do happen did not as his spirit energy attack was stopped with 1 finger by the Head Captain. Using his own spirit energy Tatsuo compressed the attack into something the size of a pea then crushed it between his index finger and thumb.

"Such refreshing tea."

Tatsuo said this while exhaling deeply, he then turned around to face Yhwach once more yet he never once raised his head or eyes.

"I am the Head Captain of the Gotei 13, Tatsuo Ichizo Shiba."

Yhwach had never in his life herd this name before so his body became slightly tense as he himself knows that within that attack there was enough power to make the former head captain released his Zanpakuto yet the one before him crushed it with no effort.

"You as Quincy "A" should be able to see what would happen if you continue this farce in every conceivable future so let us not remain so haughty Mr.Quincy King."

However despite Tatsuo's expectation Yhwach made a gesture and all the Quincy began to attack.

"Danku"

Tatsuo erect a barrier to defend against the volley of reishi arrows fired by the Quincy.

"So despite the overwhelming difference you still continue to struggle."

Yhwach just looked at Tatsuo and grit his teeth.

"Even if I submit the fate of myself and the Quincy is already set in stone the moment I laid my eyes upon you then raised my sword against you. Therefore instead of dying in surrender we would rather die in battle."

"Foolish."

Tatsuo looked at the Gotei 13 and informed the Captains that he would do this himself and to set up an isolation field around the location before turning back to the Quincy.

"When you say things like that it makes you sound like the good guy, yet that's not what you are at all. 900 years to regain your pulse, another 90 years to regain your intellect, 9 years to regain your power, and 9 days to regain the world. I can understand how you feel, you want everything for yourself however the way you do things is what makes me so disgusted."

Tatsuo appeared in the sky across from Yhwach and his army of Quincy before continuing.

"Even if you wanted power or status you have no reason to get innocent people involved in your schemes. If I was not here it is most likely that a lot of people would have died as you made an attempt for what you wanted and there is a high possibility that you would have not succeeded. Today I stand before you to stop this useless killing however I do believe the Soul King indeed needs to be removed. Therefore you will help me with that."

Tatsuo's eyes rippled and the Zettigan appeared as he stared into the eyes of the Quincy.

"You will all help me achieve my Goals."

And that they did using the Oken which Yhwach prepared they invaded the Soul Kings Dimension. Tatsuo used the Zettigan to alter the motives of Yhwach and the rest of the Quincy making them nothing more than mindless blood bags that followed his orders as dead people have no need for their thoughts.

Along the way to the palace Tatsuo simply implanted into the heads of the Royal Guard that he was informed by the King himself to come see him which allowed them free passage to the Throne room itself where The Soul King was located.

Walking slowly toward the Throne room Tatsuo leisure looked at the Palace that his stood since this worlds creation before reaching his destination.

In the Throne room the Soul King was in the center in a barrier which suspended him off the ground. He has no arms or legs with slicked-back dark hair, oval eyes with black sclera and the golden color of the gods in his pupils.

Tatsuo placed his hand on the Barrier and used the Soul King as the epicenter of his Zanpakuto Fusion. The Two opposing powers collided within the barrier dissolving the body of the Soul King before joining that body in a mess of goo at the bottom of the barrier.

Then Tatsuo absorbed that goo into his body through the hand still on the Barrier.

After doing that Tatsuo felt the Souls of all who lived within the Plane as the dead from the world of the living flowed through him and into the Soul Society. He Finally is the Overgod of Plane 19, this time he didn't need Siri as he could feel all life moving through his veins like blood. Tatsuo turned his now Black-Gold eyes toward Yhwach.

"I was going to kill you however it feels more satisfying to turn you into the very thing you detested the most."

Tatsuo raised his hand and Yhwach was lifted into the Air and brought over to him, placing a hand on Yhwach's head he turned him into the key that keeps the system in place. While Tatsuo remained Overgod of Plane 19, Yhwach became the Soul King.

Placing him within the barrier his father once stayed Tatsuo made him an exact copy of the Soul King. It was like he never left.

With this he returned to the Gotei 13 to name The Captain of Division 8 the Head Captain while also informing the Captains of his plane to make them one of his Pillars.

He then headed to the Shiba estate to give Itachi the last piece to ascend, while doing the same to Shisui in Hueco Mundo as this Next Plane was far Larger and the Power difference was far more dramatic he will need all the help he can muster.

Once he did these things he Grabbed Nels hand to make her a Goddess to move to the next Plane with him, no longer would he need to be alone.

As he knew he would be back there was no need for such touching goodbyes this time he just grabbed Nel's hand tightly and phased out of existence.

Tatsuo opened his eyes to find himself on a Mountain Peak in what appeared to be Midday. For as far as his eyes could see as he looked around there was no sign of civilization just Snow, rocks and vegetation on top of the mountain and down below a large Forest with trees that displayed how foreign and different this world was as the extended at least 500 meters into the sky with the largest reaching at least 8 or 900 meters.

'Where am I Siri?'

[You are currently on the Planet where the Douluo continent is located as the Name of the Planet itself is unknown. You are on an Island approximately 162,984 miles away from the Douluo Continent on a Island which has never seen human contact. It is currently 100,030 years before the Reincarnation of Tang San as you are currently a newly born Spirit Beast hailed from the Ice Dragons.]

Tatsuo took a moment to absorb the information he just heard to formulate a plan.

'Where is Nel?'

[Nel was reborn as another extremely formidable Spirit Beast known as the Dark Phoenix. She is located on the Southern section of the Island over 10,000 miles away.]

'10,000 miles away is a bit to far, and isn't this Island a bit too large to be considered an Island?'

[Incorrect as this is the only piece of land for hundreds of thousands of miles. It's is also too small to be considered a continent on this Planet as it's size is insufficient to fit that scale. This Planet is approximately 18 Billion years old and it is comparable in size to earth's Sun in fact it is slightly larger.]

'So how many continents are there on this planet?'

[There are 11 Continents that take up 34% of the Surface area of the Planet. 3% of the land mass are Islands similar to this one and the other 63% is Water. Out of the 11 continents there is only 1 currently know to be populated with humans which is the Douluo Continent, it is also the closest continent to your current location.]

'What the fuck...Is there at least a way to accelerate my growth? And wasn't Nel Pregnant? What happened to the baby?'

[Unfortunately there is nothing I can do to assist your growth as you lack the power to sustain such a strain. You will have sufficient power to sustain that affect 100,000 years from now. The baby in which you and Nel conceived is fine I have used the energy of Plane 19 to revert the growth of the fetus until Nel reaches the age where she can sustain a human form.]

'Okay Okay, well what is the Ranking system in this world it's been over a thousand years since I read the Light Novel.'
