Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Are Kings, Princes, Generals, and Ministers of Different Species?
"A life form I've never seen, a power beyond my prime. If only you had shown up sooner, I wouldn't have been bored and given up on evolution."
Aizen looked at Lucas who appeared in front of him and spoke with emotion.
Lucas laughed: "I want to let you out, but everyone in Soul Society disagrees. Especially one stubborn old man who doesn't want to see you reappear."
Saying that, Lucas stretched out his hand towards Aizen, and a crystal clear Hōgyoku flew out of Aizen's body and fell into Lucas's hand.
Aizen was truly shocked now, and said in disbelief, "How could you separate the Hōgyoku from me?"
Lucas laughed: "I'm different from them. Don't underestimate me!"
The people of Soul Society couldn't separate the Hōgyoku from Aizen's body and could only choose to seal it. Unlike them, Lucas had enough power to extract the Hōgyoku.
Lucas looked at Aizen and said, "You won't be bored anymore. Some people want to see your strength. Although they won't let you go, they can relieve your boredom."
[CHAT GROUP]
Sword God Ryuma: Group Leader, aren't you here to watch over us? Aizen's strength is quite formidable, and our souls might be destroyed.
Lucas: I checked the information of the chat group before. Your souls will not be completely destroyed. At most, you'll just feel the pain and come back to recover for a while. You don't have to worry about being completely wiped out.
Pirate King Roger: That's good! Although I'm not afraid of death, the world is so fun now that I don't want to die!
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni: Group Leader, I suddenly thought of a question. Without you, who could defeat Yhwach?
Lucas: Kurosaki Ichigo!
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni: Though Kurosaki Ichigo is a good guy and someone who's good at creating miracles, I still find it hard to believe he could beat Yhwach.
Lucas: I don't believe it either, but it's the truth. Kurosaki Ichigo has an incomparably powerful force in his blood, and he defeated Yhwach with that power.
Gengetsu Hōzuki: So you're saying that Kurosaki Ichigo defeated the super villain with the power in his blood? It feels quite similar to Naruto and Sasuke!
Lucas: What do you mean by "feeling similar"? They are similar. Kurosaki Ichigo, Naruto, and Sasuke are the same—they all rely on strong bloodlines and plot armor to succeed. Of course, Monkey D. Luffy in the One Piece world is the same, with the blood of the D. family giving him similar advantages.
Golden Lion Shiki: Do they all have very strong luck, enabling them to unleash power beyond their limits whenever they face danger, while their enemies always encounter terrible misfortune?
Lucas: smiling, Golden Lion Shiki, you've learned to answer correctly.
Whitebeard: Although it's good to have a happy ending, this kind of victory still leaves people feeling a little unsatisfied!
Golden Lion Shiki: Who said no? Roger is also lucky like them. If you look closely, is Roger really that different from Straw Hat Luffy?
Pirate King Roger: Shiki... This is fate. No matter how much you complain, it's useless.
Han Fei: People with outstanding bloodlines can easily succeed. This is an unchanging truth in all worlds. Even in my world, people with ancient blood have a huge advantage. Even I, in essence, have many advantages that come from my bloodline.
Han Fei: If I wasn't born in a family of princes, no matter how smart I am, it would be useless, because I couldn't learn those advanced knowledge at all. In my world, those who study literature and martial arts are not ordinary people.
The era that Han Fei lived in was an era of knowledge monopoly. Even the so-called "poor prince" was essentially from a wealthy family. As for learning martial arts—needless to say, it required considerable wealth.
Dongfang Yuechu: Hahaha! The same is true in this old man's world. The advantages brought by bloodlines are indeed great. The bloodline can determine talents and starting points. Even among our human race, the Dongfang family is a family with blood advantages.
Lo Pei: Don't take bloodlines too seriously. In every world, there have been powerful bloodlines that were exterminated. As they say, "Even kings, princes, generals, and ministers aren't of a different species."
Senju Hashirama: ...
Dongfang Yuechu: ...
The patriarchs of two families that were almost completely wiped out felt a little sad at this moment. The powerful bloodline being cut off? Their families in the future were indeed completely eradicated.
Han Fei: Is that saying true—that kings, princes, generals, and ministers aren't of a different species? Well said! Lo Pei, I didn't expect you to have such insight.
Lo Pei: This is not my insight, but something someone shouted during a crisis after Qin unified the world.
Han Fei: Really? I didn't expect it to be a wise opinion from my descendants. My bloodline in that world can't bring all kinds of magical abilities, so that's not too bad.
Lucas: "The down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken." Your bloodline in that world has little advantage, and its influence on people is acquired. Once they lose their power and wealth, they are no different from ordinary people. The saying is not wrong.
Senju Hashirama: Group Leader, Thor, wants to see you.
Lucas: What's wrong?
Senju Hashirama: Through the tempering and constant fighting with Mjölnir these days, Thor has perfectly mastered the power of thunder in his body. However, Mjölnir felt that he could continue to improve, and the two had a conflict. Thor is now demanding to see you and asking you to return Mjölnir to its original state.
Lucas: It's really troublesome!
[OUTSIDE WORLD]
The Space Stone flashed, and Lucas appeared in front of Thor.
At this time, Thor, the god of thunder, was filled with the power of thunder and lightning, and he was fighting against the electricity flowing from Mjölnir.
Mjölnir shouted: "Thor! Quickly give up unnecessary resistance, and honestly accept the tempering of thunder and lightning. As Thunder god, it is a shame to be afraid of electricity. It's shameful to be shocked by me—you must adapt to the power of thunder and lightning."
Thor refused without hesitation, and said confidently: "You think I'm stupid? I don't want to! What's wrong with being afraid of electricity? The god of tricks will be deceived by tricks, which is normal."
Mjölnir said angrily: "I don't care! The god of thunder must have the ability to be immune to lightning attacks. Don't be afraid, I will not hurt you. I will increase the power of lightning little by little, so your body can produce immunity to lightning."
Thor, the god of thunder, said disdainfully: "Don't lie. Every time your electric shocks make me feel awful."
Mjölnir defended: "But those electric shocks didn't hurt you, did they? On the contrary, because of those thunder and lightning attacks, the power in your body was awakened. It's normal to feel pain, which means that the lightning's intensity exceeds your immunity range. Otherwise, how can you increase your lightning resistance?"
Thor sighed, helplessly pushing the Thunder God's power in his body against the lightning pouring out of Mjölnir. He missed more and more the hammer that had no self-awareness before—a strict teacher was the most annoying.
Whoosh!
Lucas appeared out of thin air, waved at Mjölnir, and the hammer flew into Lucas's hand with a screeching sound.
Thor heaved a sigh of relief and said helplessly: "Lucas, you are finally here. Quickly restore Mjölnir to its original state. I no longer need it to help me train."
Lucas looked at Thor, nodded and said: "It seems that my training method was very effective. You are already a mature Thunder God."
Thor rolled his eyes and said: "Your training method was indeed useful, but the process was quite unpleasant. Additionally, if there was a choice, I would rather fight with Enel and his lightning abilities than accept training from Mjölnir."
Mjölnir said angrily: "Thor, you are ungrateful."
Thor snorted: "When fighting Enel, I was able to fight back and vent my anger. But with your training, I could only receive electric shocks."
Lucas pondered: "It took a lot of effort for me to give Mjölnir life, and it's a pity to restore it like this. So, let Odin decide! If he thinks you still need Mjölnir in this form, I'll let it continue to exist. If he feels it is no longer necessary, I will restore the hammer to its original state."
Thor: "..."
Thor gave Lucas a speechless look. He was no longer the naive thunder god he used to be. As a mature Thor, he could see through Lucas's intentions at a glance.
Thor reluctantly said: "Lucas, what treasures do you want in Asgard again? As long as it's not too valuable, I can decide to give it to you."
Lucas said bluntly: "No way! You are only the heir to the throne now, and Asgard is not yours. In other words, your promise holds no value for me. If you make a promise now, you might change your mind after overthrowing Odin and taking his position. If you were already on the throne, I might consider agreeing to your conditions."
Thor became silent, not knowing how to respond.
