There weren't many people left in the camp at this time. It seemed that Amagai Shusuke had taken away a lot of combat personnel, so Loran successfully infiltrated the camp's warehouse and library with the help of the Curved Light and the Concealment Coat.
"Wow, quite a few shallow forgings!" Loran was somewhat excited; these were all excellent materials for forging.
After all, the Hueco Mundo Expedition suffered such high casualties, and its interactions with Soul Society were not frequent. Therefore, it is not surprising that a large number of fallen Shinigami had accumulated asauchi, and they took them all.
A spirit particle furnace? Good stuff. Kusakabe Sojiro remembers this. This kind of furnace uses highly concentrated spirit particle blocks as fuel to ignite a spirit particle flame. It's the forging fire used by the blacksmiths in the Seireitei. The expedition team probably used this spirit particle furnace to forge some commonly used camp equipment. Take it, take it; it'll benefit his blacksmithing career.
Loran pulled out a bag, which came from a magical soldier forged from a bull-shaped Void. Its only function was to hold all sorts of things, making it a kind of spatial equipment.
A precision-forged hammer? Take it.
A spiritual pressure detector? Take it.
Hueco Mundo Exploration Log? Take it.
The Complete Collection of Secret Teachings of Kido, Second Edition - Written by Various Kido Authors? Hmm, I didn't expect the expedition team to have this? Looks like some people in Hueco Mundo haven't forgotten to study Kido.
It just so happens that Kusakabe Sojiro's Kido skills at the Shinigami Academy only go up to level 70, and he hasn't explored any advanced Kido skills above level 70. This will make up for Loran's lack of Kido knowledge. Take it.
"The Great Guide to Bleach"? How come someone can still be so politically minded even in this godforsaken place like Hueco Mundo? He's really too eager to improve himself.
"A Comprehensive Overview of the Genryu Style: Teacher Minamoto Will Guide You Through the Big Exam"? Uh, someone actually brought supplementary materials to Hueco Mundo. The Expeditionary Force's composition is indeed complex. However, Loran is very familiar with the Genryu style; it's the school founded by Captain-Commander Yamamoto, and the Shinigami Academy's teaching is based on the Genryu style.
The Spirit Arts Academy teaches invaluable techniques and experiences honed and tested through countless battles alongside the Captain-Commander. These are extremely precious and a great help in enabling ordinary Shinigami to grow rapidly.
"From Beginner to Advanced: Thirty-Two Examples of Learning from Tao"? Hmm, good stuff, I've learned something new again.
But why is this book so new? These damn brutes who only know how to swing knives, don't they know the importance of a healer?
After looting the camp, Loran had basically taken everything he valued most. Sensing that the expedition might be returning, he quickly took the stolen goods and sneaked out of the camp, making his way through the area to confuse any pursuers before returning to his lair.
Chapter 21 Death: Whimsical Ideas
"ding-ding-ding-ding-ding"
In the underground workshop that Loran dug out, Loran wielded the forging hammer he had stolen from the Hueco Mundo expedition, forging a shallow weapon with the help of the spiritual flames from the spiritual furnace.
He dismembered an Adjuchas, merging its most essential parts and ethereal form into the Asada. The pure soul was torn out by the power of the Hell Path and thrown into the Spirit Furnace. Under the guidance of the Myriad Transformations Demonic Weapon's divine power, the emotional essence contained within the ethereal soul began to undergo wondrous changes.
Loran stared intently at the wondrous patterns emerging from the shallow strike. These were natural runes derived from the myriad transformations of the magical weapon, the very foundation of its power.
Loran pulled out an extra-large notebook and a crystal. The former was made from the skin of many Hollows that he had torn off, while the latter was a spiritual crystal formed by him under immense pressure, a product of the experiment Shunho.
He used the power of the demonic path to record the experiment in a notebook, then held the crystal in one hand and used pure spiritual power to visualize the runes, imprinting them into the crystal. Runes are three-dimensional structures, which cannot be engraved on two-dimensional paper; they can only be recorded by making rune stones.
During this time, he recorded numerous runes, which he named "Spirit Runes".
Each runestone stores one spirit talisman. He now has nearly thirty runestones, but only five of them contain complete spirit talismans.
The structure of the talisman is extremely complex, yet it contains profound mysteries and boundless power. These talismans autonomously absorb free spiritual particles, thereby generating wondrous power.
Military strategy and law, seemingly unrelated, are in fact intricately connected. Military strategy is a symbol of power, a tool used in battle; while law is the embodiment of rules, a principle guiding power.
However, in Loran's mind, the two were like yin and yang, interdependent and forming a complete system together.
Forging extraordinary weapons requires a deep understanding and mastery of materials, processes, and techniques; it is an exploration and application of the material world.
Practicing extraordinary power requires exploring and stimulating one's own potential, energy, and spirit; it is a process of exploring and elevating one's inner world.
Loran suddenly realized that the two were essentially interconnected. Whether forging weapons or honing strength, both required a profound understanding of the essence of things, and both required constant experimentation, practice, and summarization in order to gradually reach an extraordinary level.
Could it be that he must follow the path of the Venerable Duobao? Supernatural powers are magical treasures, and magical treasures are supernatural powers. This means that he must not only be proficient in the forging and use of various weapons, but also perfectly integrate these weapons with his own power, making them a part of himself.
He still needs to explore and experiment to figure out how to proceed on this path.
Besides the talisman, Loran made another new discovery.
He had previously speculated that the Asaka was actually forged from the souls of Shinigami and Hollows in a "two-piece combination" method. After obtaining several Asaka from the Hueco Mundo Expedition, he finally had enough test subjects to verify his conjecture.
Zanpakuto inherently possess Hollow elements, which is why Muramasa, as a Zanpakuto, can move freely even without the spiritual pressure provided by its master, Kyoga Kuchiki, by absorbing numerous Hollows.
The souls of the Grim Reaper and the Hollow were twisted into a unique form by Oetsu Nimaiya using a magical technique, resulting in a mixture of their respective souls.
Every time a Shinigami performs sword meditation or engages in battle with his Zanpakuto, he is causing his soul to collide with the soul of the Hollow within the Zanpakuto. The Shinigami's soul contained within the Zanpakuto acts as a stabilizer.
To put it simply, it's the "King and Mount" concept, where the Shinigami soul inside the Zanpakuto acts as reins to help the swordsman, the king, control his mount.
Hollow White had been pointing out Hollow White's true nature to Ichigo from the very beginning, but unfortunately, Ichigo's knowledge of Shinigami was so vast that he was slow to realize Hollow White's true form.
Wang Yue used a special technique to perfectly fuse the souls of the Shinigami and Hollow within his Zanpakuto. This wondrous fusion resulted in a unique state in their spiritual pressure fluctuations, which were both contradictory and complementary.
Even more remarkably, each spirit core can simultaneously exist in two completely different states: "Shinigami state" and "Hollowfied state." The transition between these two states is regulated by the spiritual pressure of the Zanpakuto's master, thus achieving the superposition and entanglement of these states.
Loran couldn't help but exclaim that the spiritual particle composition of this Zanpakuto was practically quantum! Unlike traditional classical bits, which can only exist in a single state of "0" or "1", quantum bits can exist in a superposition of these two states simultaneously. Specifically, its state can be represented as |ψ>=α|0>+β|1>, where α and β are complex probability amplitudes.
Moreover, multiple qubits can form correlated states through entanglement, and a change in the state of one qubit can instantly affect other entangled qubits. This non-local correlation provides the foundation for efficient collaborative computing.
Multiple qubits can form correlated states through entanglement, and a change in the state of one qubit can instantly affect the other entangled qubits. This non-local correlation is the foundation for efficient collaborative computing.
It is precisely because of this unique characteristic that quantum computers are able to process a massive number of possibilities in parallel, thus demonstrating a powerful computing capability far exceeding that of classical computers.
Loran pondered to himself whether he could forge a spirit computer by imitating the spirit particle characteristics inside a Zanpakuto.
After all, the spiritual particle properties of a Zanpakuto are truly unique. It can freely switch between Hollowfied and Shinigami states, which is practically a natural form of quantum encoding!
If this spiritual particle property can be successfully utilized, then the spiritual particle computer created might be able to use the virtual state representing "0" and the death state representing "1" for data storage and processing.
Furthermore, upon closer examination, the Zanpakuto itself is actually somewhat like an external quantum computer terminal. It can be closely connected to the soul of a Shinigami and perform various functions through the transmission of spiritual particles.
Without the aid of a Zanpakuto, it would be extremely difficult for a Shinigami to tap into the power hidden deep within the soul on their own.
After all, the power of the soul is so profound and complex that it takes a lot of effort and time to truly master it. In that case, the initial release alone would become the exclusive domain of unparalleled geniuses.
But now, the Shinigami entrusts the function of developing the power deep within the soul to the Zanpakuto. Then, the Shinigami only needs to communicate with the Zanpakuto and achieve a unity of soul to enjoy the fruits of the Zanpakuto's labor.
Bankai goes even further, completely subduing the Zanpakuto and unleashing its "computing power" to the maximum extent, thereby achieving the greatest liberation of the power of the soul's origin.
If we think about it this way, does that mean that the power of each Zanpakuto represents a "soul code" contained deep within the soul of a Shinigami, and that it is only through the Zanpakuto that this code is extracted from the depths of the soul and then manifested in the world through the Zanpakuto as a terminal hardware?
Loran became more and more excited as he thought about it. If he could figure out the essence of the "soul code", would he be able to artificially recreate the abilities of each Zanpakuto?
Is the reason why the Tsuna-Yayo family's treasured artifact, "Enra Mirror," can copy the abilities of other Zanpakuto is because it can automatically record the "soul code" corresponding to the Zanpakuto?
If I figure out the principle, can I replicate the "Yanluo Mirror Classic" ability on my own weapon?
Loran was burning with excitement; he needed to observe more samples, more test data, and more advanced equipment and instruments.
As for samples, the Hueco Mundo Expedition is a good observation material. After many arduous battles, many of them have Shikai, and there is also Captain Amagai Shusuke who has Bankai.
Moreover, he also needs to make a trip to Soul Society; Loran needs the advanced scientific instruments from the Technology Development Bureau.
Whether he's researching "spirit talismans" or the mysteries of Zanpakuto, he needs advanced equipment.
The only equipment he currently possesses that can connect with civilization is this finely crafted forging hammer and spirit furnace; Hueco Mundo only has a pile of spirit sand and void.
Going to the Soul Society was not difficult for him; Hollows possessed unique abilities in the realm of space and time.
The so-called Three Realms are actually enveloped in a unique spacetime called the Black Cavity, and Hollows can use the Black Cavity that envelops the Three Realms to transfer between spacetime, thus freely entering and leaving Hueco Mundo, the Human Realm, and Soul Society.
For a long time, some Hollows have gone to the Soul Society to hunt for food, where a large number of spirits gather.
Therefore, if Loran wants to go to Soul Society, he can catch a Hollow, but the difficulty lies in how to enter the Seireitei.
The Soul Society has very strong technological capabilities; for example, monitoring Hollow intrusions is not a difficult task for Shinigami.
Therefore, even if Hollows were to go to the Soul Society to hunt, they would choose to go to remote areas of Rukongai, which are far from the Soul Reaper's territory, Seireitei. Moreover, the more remote the Rukongai, the more chaotic it is, and the Soul Reapers simply do not manage those places.
If he were to allow the Hollow to open the Black Hole's exit directly in the Seireitei, it would likely face an encirclement and suppression by the Gotei 13 shortly after landing.
Kloran didn't want to go to Rukongai. The Soul Society was heavily guarded against so-called Ryoka. He could force his way in, but what about the cost? Just think about how Ichigo was treated.
Moreover, he is now Kusakabe Soujiro. If this face were to appear in Soul Society and be discovered by a group of Shinigami, it would probably attract the pursuit of the Gotei 13 and the Onmitsukido.
I'm so worried! How did Kusakabe Sojiro manage to sneak into Seireitei and assassinate Kyoraku Shunsui back then?
It seems to rely on the power of that royal seal, which itself has the ability to teleport.
But the royal seal is currently hidden away by those nobles, and it is only moved once every hundred years. It will be at least twenty years before it reappears.
It seems that obtaining the "Otherworldly Freedom" will allow other Lorans to offer suggestions.
Chapter 22 Naruto: The New Six Paths of Pain
In the story of "Otherworldly Freedom," after listening to the complaints of the Grim Reaper Loran, the Hokage Loran made a suggestion.
"I think it would be better if you wait until I get the Flying Thunder God Technique or Kamui, and then try to localize them in the Bleach world. The Black Hole will be detected by Soul Society, but other space-time techniques should not."
"This way you can teleport in directly using a spacetime technique, and you won't be detected."
Death God Loran thought about it and felt that it might be a solution, but then he thought of something else.
“I remember that there are time-space techniques in the Kido sequence. The great Kido master, Tetsuzai, once performed a space transfer. According to him, time-space Kido is listed as a forbidden technique in Soul Society. Perhaps we can use the Kido to reproduce the principle of Flying Thunder God.”
Urban Loran curled his lip, finding it somewhat mysterious.
"Give me a break. You can't even replicate your Spirit Summoning Technique in the Bleach world, and you want to replicate the Flying Thunder God Technique? Besides, Kamui Eye Technique relies on another dimension. Where did you get that other dimension?"
"I also tried many techniques from the Naruto world in my own world, such as Shadow Clone Jutsu, Transformation Jutsu, and various basic escaping techniques, but I couldn't replicate them in my world. The only ones that could really work were the power of the Six Paths and the Uzumaki bloodline."
"Moreover, when I studied my own cells in the lab, I discovered that even my genetic material had changed, with a swirling bloodline. It's truly amazing."
"But what could be the reason? Why are only these two powers allowed to pass through?" Nagato Loran asked.
“I think there are two possibilities: one is that the level is not high enough, and the other is a compatibility issue,” Death God Loran replied.
"I can also use the power of the Six Paths in this world. I haven't felt the power of the vortex bloodline yet, but my physical strength and perception have indeed improved recently."
"I think the reason why the power of the Six Paths and the vortex bloodline can circulate in our three worlds is because these two powers are of a high enough level. After all, both of them ultimately originate from the existence of the Sage of Six Paths. Perhaps a power of a high enough level can manifest across worlds."
"This conjecture may be able to be verified once Hokage Loran acquires the other six bloodline limits."
"Moreover, there is also the issue of compatibility. For example, in the urban world of Loran, the flesh-and-blood manipulation ability of the Six Paths is more active, while the soul-level ability in my world is more active. This shows that there is compatibility between different worlds and different powers."
"Furthermore, it's not that I'm completely unable to replicate the power of another world. For example, I can replicate many techniques of ninjutsu through the form of Kido. Martial arts techniques also have good compatibility in my world, especially when fused with Shunko."
Hokage Loran chimed in, "Yes, the martial arts and demonic arts have been recreated quite well in the Naruto world. Martial arts training has greatly benefited me in increasing my chakra and developing my physical potential. I have now developed a brand new chakra breathing technique, and the Adamantine Sealing Technique has been fully unleashed."
After discussing for a long time without reaching a fundamental conclusion, Loran and his group had no choice but to change the subject.
"Is Kenji about to make a move?" Death God Loran asked Hokage Loran.
Hokage Loran replied, "My relationship with Obito and Black Zetsu is very tense right now. We have many disagreements about the formation of the Akatsuki, so he keeps a lot of things from me. Although he hasn't mentioned anything about the Nine-Tails, we're getting very close to the official date of Naruto's birth."
"There are a lot of good things in Konoha. Be careful, or you might end up trapped inside Konoha before you've taken everything. You don't have 'Kamui' that allows you to come and go as you please," Urban Loran reminded him.
"Don't worry, I've meticulously crafted a brand-new Six Paths of Pain for that night's operation. I'm sure it will give Konoha and Kenji a pleasant surprise!"
Seeing the confident Hokage Loran, Nemesis Loran and City Loran didn't say anything more. After all, they were both Lorans, and they had confidence in each other.
The Grim Reaper Loran then instructed the Urban Loran to spend more time learning about modern technology. He wanted to build his own base in Hueco Mundo and start a farming business. Although the characteristics of spirit particles are somewhat different from those of atoms and molecules, considering that spirit particles and molecules can be transformed into each other, a lot of knowledge can be referenced from each other and applied by analogy.
For example, it is said that the computer technology used by Shinigami in the world of the dead was inspired by the computers in Soul Society.
After the "Transformation of the Heavenly Kings" technique was discontinued, Hokage Loran began his final wait. Considering the butterfly effect, his spies were constantly watching Konoha, monitoring every move the village made.
Until the signal for action came from Konoha.
October 9th, it seems the due date came a day early, which is somewhat different from the original story.
The mountaintop outside Konoha Village is where Nagato stayed during the original Six Paths of Pain's attack on Konoha. From here, one can see everything around and observe the situation inside Konoha Village from afar, making it a very suitable gathering place for the current Six Paths of Pain.
Over the years, Loran has selected many superior bodies to serve as vessels for the Six Paths of Pain.
Shura Path used the corpse of a Cloud Ninja who specialized in ninjutsu and taijutsu. The current Shura Path is over two meters tall, with bulging muscles, and his entire body has been transformed into a killing weapon.
In reality, Nagato's modifications in the original work were too flashy and unnecessary, with many weapons having overlapping functions and wasting a lot of potential.
Moreover, in the original work, Shura Path's speed was too slow, both in terms of movement speed and weapon transformation speed. This is why Shura Path, who should have been the main damage dealer and MVP, always had a very low presence and quickly disappeared from the game.
Loran streamlined the original modification plan for Nagato, especially enhancing its mobility and removing many unnecessary weapons.
Loran even transplanted the salamander venom glands obtained from Hanzo's corpse into the body of the Asura Path. With the Rinnegan, Loran's modification ability was far stronger than that of the Rain Ninja, and the Asura Path could perfectly utilize the salamander venom.
There's not much to say about the Animal Path; it specializes in controlling and summoning spirit beasts, with a focus on raising them. For this purpose, Loran made a special trip overseas to find that Spirit Island.
This summoning island appears in Shippuden when Naruto sets sail for Turtle Island to train. This island is home to a large number of powerful summoning beasts and has a research institute on it. The owner behind the scenes is unknown, and the goal is to research an ultimate summoning beast comparable to the tailed beasts.
Loran went to investigate; the research institute had long been abandoned. He also managed to capture the remnant soul of a Uzumaki girl through the Human Path. From the girl's soul, he learned a great deal about the past and filled in some gaps in the Uzumaki legacy. At the same time, he also subdued many powerful summoned beasts on the island.
In fact, the Animal Path's abilities go far beyond simply using summoning techniques. Its fundamental ability lies in its capacity to infuse the power of the Rinnegan into summoned beasts, allowing them to undergo positive evolution and even develop unique techniques.
In the original work, Nagato created crabs that could use bubble ninjutsu, chameleons that could become invisible, Yasakani that could fly and throw bombs, and Cerberus that possessed the splitting technique.
Looking at the Ultimate Summoning Beasts still waiting to hatch in the incubation pool, and then looking at the research data on Ultimate Summoning Beasts in his mind, Loran thought to himself, "This is no coincidence."
