This raises another question! Yhwach at his peak was only slightly stronger than Aizen, not by a whole dimension. However, even though Aizen reached another dimension, the Hōgyoku Aizen was still a whole dimension weaker than Ichigo Mugetsu in terms of combat power. If it weren't for the Hōgyoku's immortality, he would have been dead long ago.
However, the source of all three powers is the Soul King, so why is Yhwach, who devoured the Soul King, so "weak"?
Many people felt that the Thousand-Year Blood War was not good because of pacing issues, character design problems, and chaotic battles. However, as a manga, these problems were mainly due to the fact that the Sternritter had too many members, making it difficult to control. The most crucial point is that the highest level of combat power in the final chapter never reached the level of Breaking Five. The final battle of the final chapter also resulted in the final battle of the entire manga not being exciting enough, which inevitably left people somewhat disappointed as an ending.
In reality, it's normal for the Sternritter to have so many members.
The real problem is that Yhwach's strength is a mystery, or rather, there are many mysteries surrounding the Soul King.
Aizen wasn't in a hurry to get an answer, but these things piqued his interest and kept his long life from getting too boring.
".
When are you going to do that task?
"That's really too much trouble, let's do it today."
"I'll start once I have Kiyohime come and cover my shift again."
Aizen put the test tube containing the prototype of the Hogyoku into a safe in the palace at the top of Dark Spiral Mountain, and instructed Piedmon to guard it well.
By the way, Piedmon evolved from Devimon.
The data resources of Dark Spiral Mountain were reduced, preventing the creation of new Digimon. The original Digimon fought and devoured each other, creating dozens of Perfect Digimon and two Ultimate Digimon.
With its black gear and thousands of years of experience, Devimon gained the greatest advantage from the very beginning of this war, which started at the Champion level, and eventually emerged victorious, evolving into Piedmon.
Whether by fate or by Devimon's deliberate guidance, another Ultimate form was born as Puppetmon.
Thus, the Dark Masters have gathered two of their members. However, compared to Piedmon's formidable strength, Puppetmon is only at the average level of an Ultimate-level monster.
Even if the remaining fully evolved and mature forms fought each other to the death, there wouldn't be enough to create a third ultimate form. So Aizen temporarily stopped raising the Gu.
This allowed the mature players who had been playing it safe from the start to escape unscathed and officially form the Nightmare Legion.
"That's it, I'll need you to cover for me for a few more days this time."
"Yes, you can leave it to Kiyohime without worry!"
After hearing the explanation, Kiyohime, clinging to Aizen's arm, readily gave her a full guarantee.
Aizen's main concern was that his shadow clones would disappear while he was on missions.
Even if it doesn't disappear, who knows how long a mission will take? What if it takes a long time and the shadow clone disappears?
Taking these issues into consideration, Aizen once again activated Kiyohime's substitute.
Kiyohime, who has been closely following Aizen for the past few years and vying for his favor with Lori, has also become increasingly familiar with him over time.
Even though she hadn't been a substitute for several years, Kiyohime didn't find it difficult.
Moreover, the five years of companionship allowed Kiyohime to mature psychologically, and she did not feel unhappy about Aizen's departure. At least compared to the days five years ago when she was either a substitute for Aizen or separated from him, it was much better.
"Please come back soon, your dearest Kiyohime will always be waiting for you at home."
Kiyohime, who had successfully perfected her wifely qualities over the past few years, leaned her head against Aizen and spoke softly and gently.
Chapter 441 Dog System, Can't You Play This Game (1/3)
After making preparations to leave Soul Society, Aizen began to choose his mission.
Because the duration of each mission is not fixed, Aizen still needs to leave some contingency plans in case of any unforeseen circumstances. The time flow in the world where he conducts missions is not proportionally different from that in the main world.
"Ding! The actors to be portrayed in the fourth role are as follows."
"Tokiomi Tohsaka, Weber Velvet, Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald."
Aizen: ""
Damn system, are you sore loser?! Even Aizen, who had cultivated his composure for hundreds of years, almost couldn't hold back. What's the point of choosing or not choosing? The core is still the Type-Moon world.
Before knowing the specific task, choosing someone for him is simply a matter of personal preference and is otherwise completely useless.
It took Aizen three seconds to calm himself down before he revealed a menacing smile: "There's also this kind, where the entire world is chosen."
"I'm completely innocent!"
The bewildered system responded haltingly.
However, changing the options is no longer an option.
Calming down, Aizen still needed to think about who to choose to complete the task. In the context of a single world, it would be more intuitive to distinguish the budget and benefits.
These three individuals were all Masters in the Fourth Holy Grail War, so most people would immediately analyze the situation based on the circumstances of the Holy Grail War.
"We can't choose Weber."
Aizen immediately and without hesitation eliminated Waver from the selection process in Chapter 790.
Kenneth and Tokiomi Tohsaka's main roles are in the Fourth Holy Grail War, while Waver might not even be part of the Fourth Holy Grail War story. If he's not related to the Holy Grail War, his benefits might be much lower.
However, it's possible that he might get lucky and participate in the story as Zhuge Liang's heroic spirit, which would give him more room to maneuver, but Aizen is unwilling to gamble on this low-probability possibility.
Not Zhuge Liang, not El-Melloi II, just "Weberveld Witte".
The way it's addressed makes this possibility extremely low.
Moreover, Aizen felt that he and the King of Conquerors would have very poor compatibility.
Therefore, his only remaining option is to start with the ace up his sleeve, "The Pot of This World".
And a terrible hand of "Green of This World".
"Based on ability analysis, Heroic Spirits, as Servants, might also become a free reward to be obtained through gacha pulls after completing a mission."
"Gilgamesh's value far surpasses Diarmuid's, but his character and behavior cast serious doubt on that value."
"Kenneth's abilities and talents as a magician far surpass those of Tokiomi Tohsaka."
Although I don't care about Kenneth's strength, the effectiveness of Kenneth's theoretical knowledge cannot be judged solely by his physical strength. In this respect, Kenneth is superior to Tokiomi Tohsaka.
"Kenneth was the one who officially initiated the Holy Grail War, and he had more room for maneuver than the uncontrollable King of Heroes."
After squinting and thinking for a moment, Aizen made up his mind about his answer.
Kenneth! There's another reason he didn't mention, and that's degree.
Acting and suppressing emotions are second nature to him, but even without making himself appear humble, he can even portray cowardice and timidity. However, his pride lies in his attitude towards others being "humble and subservient."
.
Aizen disliked Tokiomi Saka's seemingly aristocratic subservience in front of Gilgamesh, which stemmed from his personality. Had he not done so, his final rating would certainly not have been high, and the probability of getting a Servant for free would probably have been very low.
"However, we still need to make some preparations."
"Use one of the two mission privileges."
The specific effect of the level-one privilege is as follows: Aizen can bring along characters below level one, or he can bring one ability that is no higher than level one himself.
At first glance, the conditions and restrictions for characters and abilities seem similar, but they are actually different.
For example, a level 1 Nezha cannot carry it, but a level 2 swordsmanship master can.
One privilege grants three opportunities.
Without any hesitation, Aizen muttered to himself, "The abilities Kyoka Suigetsu, Transformation Jutsu, and Hattori Hanzo."
The Type-Moon universe.
The Holy Grail War is a war in which seven magicians summon seven historical Heroic Spirits using sacred relics to compete for the all-powerful wish-granting "Holy Grail".
The war! Among them, the "Clock Tower," a holy site for magicians.
One of the twelve monarchs, Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald, a magician of the Color Rank, is preparing to participate in this "unremarkable Holy Grail War" in the Far East.
He dedicated this achievement, a new chapter in his life's literary and martial arts career, to his fiancée.
Just before he was about to depart, the relics he had prepared were stolen by his student Weberville Witte and taken to Japan.
With time running out, Kenneth had no choice but to hastily select another relic to use in the battle.
This arrogant prodigy chose to establish his base at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, the tallest building in Fuyuki City.
Diarmuid hasn't been summoned yet.
Aizen stared at the magic circle in front of him, momentarily stunned.
The abilities a character possesses upon entering the quest world can be drawn upon at the quest's conclusion. The fact that Diarmuid wasn't summoned means he'll never get a Servant for free.
However, as regrettable as it may be, his choice of Tokiomi Tohsaka may not have occurred during the time when he was summoning a Heroic Spirit.
More importantly, we should focus on the task itself.
"The release of actor assignments is a cause for celebration."
"Mission objective: To bring the Holy Grail War to a perfect conclusion as Kenneth, without allowing anyone to directly question the process; direct doubt constitutes failure."
"Task Reward: 15 Emperor Points will be awarded based on the task completion rating."
入戏扮演角色率达到60%随机抽取扮演目标一项能力达到70%随机抽取三项能力任选其一达到80%可指定一项能力与其他两项系统随机能力混合再度抽取达到90%可指定三项能力进行随机达到95%即可直接指定一项能力.”
"Mission failure penalty: None."
The moment I saw the task, the word "headache" rushed into my brain.
Is the concept of "everyone's happy" so vague? Perhaps choosing Webber and Tokiomi would be better.
Aizen thought to himself.
Everything else is fine; the reward system is identical except for the numbers. The lack of task penalties is probably because the task objectives were very vague this time.
Waiting: Aizen was reviewing the specific experiences of Kenneth that the system had instilled in him when an impatient voice interrupted his train of thought.
"Hey, Kenneth."
Everything is ready, aren't you going to summon the Heroic Spirits?
Looking up at the noble and beautiful red-haired woman before him, even though Aizen hadn't read Kenneth's complete history, he knowingly smiled and spoke very gently: "I'm sorry, Sora."
I'm pondering information about the other Masters, and I've become a little engrossed in it.
The night before last, I was preparing to update another book, but then I had a little argument with a fellow reader in the group chat. I was in a bad mood and spent the whole night chatting in the group, which left me feeling extremely unwell yesterday, so I didn't update.
Since there haven't been two books combined to count as six updates, it's not included in the ten-day period, so it's as if it hasn't even started.
It's getting late today, so I'll start the official countdown from tomorrow after I finish writing this late.
Feilu reminds you: Three things to do when reading
Chapter 442 A Vague Mission, A Different Beginning (2/3)
Solana Zele Sofiari, the ruler of the Clock Tower's Spirit Summoning Department, is also the daughter of Kenneth's mentor.
She became Kenneth's fiancée through a political marriage.
Just a quick aside.
Although Kenneth's mentor, Sora's father, was also one of the Twelve Lords, Sophia was only a branch family, while Euryphus was the main family.
After obtaining the throne, he will join the main family, Euryphus, as an adopted son. This means that even if the heir is confirmed, the magic crest that is only inherited from Sophia's son may not necessarily become the next monarch.
As the monarch of El-Melloi, Kenneth came from the same family as Archibald. Moreover, El-Melloi was not as powerful as the three noble families among the twelve houses, but it was still a superior family. For his mentor, facilitating this marriage was a huge win.
Sora is not the legitimate son and does not inherit the magic crest.
Although she can learn magic on her own, a magician without a magic crest can no longer be called a family.
Compared to the magic inherited from generations of magicians, the amount of magic one person can learn and master is far too little, and Sora's own talent is far inferior to Kenneth's.
Of course, you can create a magic crest based on yourself and pass it on.
However, putting aside the rejection reactions that the first few generations had to endure when creating the Magic Crest, Sora alone did not possess any power or status.
In a sense, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Sora was a complete expendable pawn.
Even though she came from a prestigious family, her actual status was worlds apart from Kenneth's.
Even her monarch father, if not for his status as Kenneth's mentor, would be far inferior to Kenneth in terms of talent, aptitude, power, and status.
However, the way these two interact seems to be completely reversed.
This reminded Aizen of a song lyric.
What you can't have always stirs your heart, and those who are favored are always fearless! If it weren't for Sora relying on Kenneth's favoritism, how could she be so arrogant and act like a spoiled princess in front of the famous child prodigy monarch at the Clock Tower?
If it were someone of lower status, just an ordinary heir from a prestigious family, they probably wouldn't treat Sora the way Kenneth did.
