Chapter 467: Dragon Eats Fire
Chapter 467: Dragon Eats Fire
*YAWN*
Renji yawned while sitting in the Ikebana Club. The only person he saw enjoying was the weird man with scissors. He couldn't understand what was so interesting about it and he doubted that the man was feeling something more than simple enjoyment, apparent from his facial expression. Though he was still very much interested in the old man, drinking tea made by Captain Unohana.
He was very astonished as this was the first time he had seen Captain Unohana bothering to do something else when it came to flower arrangement club day. She would normally just focus on flowers, but today she gave tea to the old man.
Alexander stood up after finishing his tea, "Well, I will leave now. It was good meeting you, child. See you later."
He dragged Douglas out with him.
After they left, Renji asked Unohana, "Captain, aren't you interested in his identity?"
"You don't always need to know everything. You could feel he meant no harm so what's the problem." She said and started arranging flowers happily.
...
Alexander dragged Douglas out and jumped to a rooftop, "Why the hell would you start preaching about god while cutting flowers? You nearly busted us,"
"Ah, I got swayed at that moment. It won't happen again," Douglas apologized."Okay, let's go somewhere else now. Also, I need to learn about these other dimensions in detail. Let's look for a library," He planned and jumped from building to building.
On one of them, he found two men drinking sake. He immediately recognized them as the captain of the 8th division, Shunsui Ky?raku, and captain of the 13th division, J?shir? Ukitake.
"Oh, we have a new guest." Shunsui greeted him.
"Hey there, why don't you try this?" Alexander greeted them and gave them a bottle of FireWhiskey.
*Cough Cough*
Alexander raised an eyebrow when he saw Jushiro coughing out blood. "Oh, you are sick? Well, here, drink this."
He just did that and left to find Ragnarok. The small interaction was very weird in every way possible. None of them knew each other and still acted like they were friends.
Jushiro looked at the small Yakult sized bottle. "Is this some kind of milk?"
"Hahaha... why don't you try it while I try this? This bottle looks good." Shunsui laughed and picked up the firewhiskey bottle.
Jushiro really drank the milk. "OH! I feel different..."
...
"HAAA!"
Kenpachi activated his Shikai because he wasn't able to defeat Ragnarok. No matter how much he tried, Ragnarok was always the stronger one. He had a feeling that Ragnarok had not revealed his full strength.
"DRINK!"
Those words were his Shikai release command. Upon its release, Nozarashi took on the form of a great axe/war cleaver hybrid with a long, cloth-wrapped handle and a green tassel attached to the top.
Ragnarok smirked and held his sword firmly. He wasn't going to activate his higher power or do anything big or else he might end up destroying the whole Soul Society.
Ragnarok and Kenpachi ran towards each other at a very high speed. Kenpachi had his huge ax ready to vertically strike him.
Ragnarok was already too close to him to strike back.
"STOP!"
Suddenly Captain Sajin appeared and jumped between them. He first held Kenpachi's arm and stopped him from going forwards. Then he looked at Ragnarok still coming towards them.
His pupil dilated when he felt more threatened by Ragnarok than Kenpachi's attack. ~I won't survive this If struck,~
Ragnarok made a quick slash toward Sajin's neck.
*FWOOSH*
The blade stopped just a millimeter away from the neck. "Ah, I was having fun, Captain Sajin, why did you stop us?"
Sajin took a long breath. ~To think this is his first day in the academy,~
"If you two kept fighting then the whole school would have been destroyed," He reprimanded them.
Kenpachi just huffed and ignored him.
On the other hand, Ragnarok laughed, "Hahaha... okay, then let's go drinking. A man has many ways to decide the winner."
But Sajin stopped him, "Wait, Captain-Commander would like to see you."
Ragnarok shrugged, "Let's go then,"
He was taken to the 1st Division Barracks. On their way, Sajin told Ragnarok about who captain-commander was. Under normal circumstances, a new student of the academy wouldn't be able to meet the commander but this was a special situation.
After walking for a while they finally appeared inside the big building. He was then sent to captain-commander's office.
"Hello, young man," an old voice spoke to Ragnarok.
Ragnarok didn't know if he should laugh, ~ME? Young man?~
He turned to where the voice came from. The man in front of him had the appearance of an old man with red eyes, a very long white beard, and long eyebrows. There were many scars on his head, the two most prominent being a pair of long scars crossing above his right eye. He wore the standard Shinigami uniform, but its size was greatly exaggerated. He draped his haori over his back instead of actually wearing it.
"Hello, captain-commander, how are you?" Ragnarok cheerfully asked. Yamamoto was sitting on a pillow on the ground at the moment, so Ragnarok went ahead to sit in front of the man.
"I am good. So, do you want to become a Shinigami?" Yamamoto asked in his hoarse voice.
"It depends, what will I have to do?" Ragnarok asked.
"Shinigami are guardians of the souls who are going through the circle of transmigration. We purify Hollows who do evil in the World of the Living and ensure the safe crossing of souls who have lost their way after death by giving them a soul burial.
"We also protect the soul society. You have great talent, young man. One day you can even become the captain-commander." Yamamoto told him.
"What about the soul king? Can I become that?" Ragnarok asked.
Suddenly Yamamoto released his spiritual pressure. He was triggered at the prospect of a shinigami even thinking of doing such a thing.
"Soul King is a god, how can you even think of such a thing? No one can replace him, he is eternal and all present." Yamamoto angrily grunted.
Currently, all the people in the whole of the 1st Division Barracks were feeling the pressure of Yamamoto. But Ragnarok just stood there normally.
"Well, thanks for the info. Becoming a Shinigami sounds like a boring job. I already know someone who is way stronger than you all combined, hell if you also add your god, he's still stronger. Not to mention his father who is on an even crazier level.
"Well, thanks, but I'll pass." Ragnarok denied the job and started walking away.
But then he stopped midway and looked back, "I nearly forgot, here, keep your sword. I'd rather use my hands."
Yamamoto was shocked. He was going to ask Ragnarok about his origin as there was no record of someone like him existing in Rukongai and based on that he would judge him. But things went too differently.
"Stop right there," Yamamoto quickly fast stepped in front of him. His staff suddenly turned into a sword.
"You are too dangerous to be left like this. I will send you back to the human world to get reincarnated." He announced.
"Bwahaha... you can try, kid," Ragnarok replied.
Yamamoto was confused at being called a kid. He was 4001 years old so it didn't make sense.
"Who are you?" Yamamoto finally asked.
"I am the dragon god, Ragnarok. Nice to meet you." He revealed.
Yamamoto had none of that and attacked. He slashed his sword at Ragnarok which released a big wave of fire at him.
Ragnarok just smirked and didn't even move. The fire collided with his body and disappeared.
"You can't hurt me with fire, Yamamoto. I don't have any ill intentions either." Ragnarok tried to convince him.
But Yamamoto didn't quit just yet. He instantly activated Shikai which engulfed his blade in the fire.
"Reduce All Creation to Ash" he spoke the release words.
Suddenly an immense amount of Spiritual Pressure was released. Affecting all in the area, it could be felt for miles upon miles across all of Seireitei.
"Ennetsu Jigoku (Flames of Hell)" Yamamoto spoke his attack.
Suddenly pillars of fires started coming out from the ground, destroying the floor and the ceiling of the building.
"Stop it, Yamamoto, you are just causing damage to the building," Ragnarok advised him.
The intent of the technique was to trap the opponent in the caged inferno and destroy them. The power of this technique can destroy everyone caught in its vicinity, including Yamamoto himself. He was ready to take this risk.
Seeing that Yamamoto was not stopping, Ragnarok decided to end this. He couldn't let so much damage come to soul society as Alexander would be angry then.
"FINE! The dragon is hungry now,"
