Chapter 183: Hogyoku
Chapter 183: Hogyoku
The Divine King chatted for a while and then left in a hurry.
Looking at the figure of Odin who was in a hurry with a bit of a sorry figure, it was likely that he was afraid that if he said a few more words, the treasure house would be emptied.
Lod looked at the bulging purse, and his face showed a trace of wanting to continue.
As expected of Asgard!
However, the amount of wool he had gained from this trip was much more than what he had gained in Los Angeles, where he had risked his life to fight with the angels and demons!
Lod clicked on it and was shocked to find that he had suddenly become rich from this trip!
First of all, the one hundred and twenty medium-sized souls that the Frost Giants had contributed were enough for him to support the two Metal Swallowing Beasts for a period of time, except for the ten exciting draws.
Next was the Golden Lightning Palace. Both its destructive power or gorgeous level, it surpassed the 'Daiguren Hyourinmaru'. It also had the ability of 'Wind From Heaven'. It could be said to be a powerful weapon to show off in the future!
Then there was the unlucky King of Frost Giants, Laufey, the only superior soul he had contributed. He could wait for the special store to open and see if there was a chance to farm a valuable item.
In the past few refresh times of the special store, there would basically be items worth superior souls every time, and each item could be said to be worth it!
In addition to the items given by the system above, the biggest harvest this time was the 'aether particles'!
It was one of Marvel World's six Infinity stones, the reality stone!
This stone could be said to be the most difficult power to control among the six great source stones. It could even be said to be the most dangerous gem!
Compared to the other five source stones, the use of the reality stone had to be accompanied by a considerable risk. Moreover, if one was not careful, they would be attacked by the powerful power contained in the stone!
However, if the wielder could completely grasp the full power of the reality stone, then all the dreams in his heart could be turned into reality.
It was so small that he could change the law of physics and chemistry at will, so big that he could directly create the rules, and even erase the existence of any living creature, he could do it lightly and precisely!
What you think is right and what is right is right.
What you think is wrong and what is wrong is wrong.
This is the ability of the reality stone. Described in simple and crude words,
That is, changing reality!
Of course...
This did not mean that there was no limit to the power of reality stone.
For example, if you wanted to become the life court, the five supreme gods, or something like this, reality stone would not be able to do it.
And there was a very serious problem.
That is, unless you gather all the other unlimited source stones, if you want to simply use the reality stone, you must possess the strength of Big Boss and can suppress the backlash of the reality stone.
Otherwise...
The user will only be confused by the powerful power of the reality stone and sink into his endless desire. In the end, he will be killed by his own 'wish' that has expanded to its limit and become nourishment for this stone!
From the description alone, such a dangerous reality stone seemed to be not suitable to be the first stone to be obtained.
After all, the requirements to use it were harsh, and it was accompanied by huge risks. It was not like the space stone had almost no side effects, and its ability was more simple and crude. It was not as direct as the time stone and power stone.
But among the six infinite stones, it was what Lod wanted the most.
The reason why he wanted the reality stone the most was actually related to a conjecture he had earlier!
This was a conjecture about 'Hōgyoku'.
When it came to Hōgyoku, it had to be explained.
The entire Bleach series could be said to be revolving around it, and it could be said to be one of the most important props in the entire chapter!
In death god's original world view, death god and hollow were two opposing existences, and there was a clear boundary between the two.
But this boundary was broken by a substance called 'Hōgyoku'!
When the boundary is broken, whether it is death god or hollow, they can obtain powerful strength and evolve to a higher dimension!
But Hōgyoku's real ability is not simple.
From Aizen description, it can be inferred that Hōgyoku's real strength is the desire of the person who occupies it to become reality and guide a force in the direction he expects!
The existence of Hōgyoku is the power to destroy the two eternal horizon between God and people!
Just as Aizen used Hōgyoku to create Arrancar, and Wanderweiss used it to specially seal Head-Captain "Ryujin Jakka", all the results came from Aizen's wish.
And like the incomplete "Hōgyoku" created by Kisuke Urahara, as he expected, broke the boundary between death god and hollow.
In addition to these mysterious and confusing abilities, which made people dizzy.
The most direct manifestation of Hōgyoku is to protect the body of the host, and when the host's ability reaches the limit or the life is in danger, the host can evolve to a higher dimension!
But Hōgyoku had a limit.
Evolution was only to guide one's potential. It was not an infinite evolution in the real sense!
Moreover, the most important thing was that Hōgyoku had the 'self-will'!
Once the master's heart wavered or his strength was insufficient to control it, Hōgyoku would mercilessly abandon the host!
This is from the original work, after Aizen saw Mugetsu and was sealed by Kisuke Urahara because of his wavering heart, he could see a spot.
So!
Lod had a sudden idea and had an idea.
Hōgyoku was absorbing the hope of the people around him, changing reality through guidance, and the reality stone had the terrifying power to directly change reality. The two were extremely similar to each other to a certain extent.
It was just that Hōgyoku's strength was not as strong as the reality stone, and the reality stone was not as flexible as Hōgyoku.
Then the problem came!
If he used the reality stone as a foundation, and then used the 'Nails of The Soul King', as well as Aizen and Kisuke Urahara's technology, then could the 'Hōgyoku' that was finally created allow him to have power beyond all?
But this was just a conjecture...
Whether or not Hōgyoku could fuse with the real world gem was still too far away from the current him.
With Nemu's current technical level, she could still take a look at it normally, but if she were to fuse with Hōgyoku and the real world gem, it would be no different than a joke.
Even Kurotsuchi Mayuri might not be able to make it, let alone Nemu.
It was not that Lod felt that Kurotsuchi Mayuri was inferior to Kisuke Urahara, but it was mainly that the research direction of the two of them was different.
Kurotsuchi Mayuri was obviously more suitable for the creation of creatures and souls. It was obviously bullying to let him make Hōgyoku.
Besides...
Lod's eyes moved to the panel and stared at Hōgyoku(broken fragment 55/10000). He could not help but sigh in his heart.
How long would it take for him to gather Hōgyoku!
Lod seriously suspected that the system placed Hōgyoku fragments in the card pool to cheat him!
To expect to be pulled out from the system, he might as well expect to draw Aizen or Kisuke Urahara, so that the two of them could make a new one!
