Playing with other Supernaturals

Kisuke, while utilizing everything that his newfound Quincy Power could, gathered and compressed a massive amount of Reishi in his body. As soon as he gathered enough, he released the limiter that was present on his Sanrei Gloves, immediately causing it to disintegrate due to the dense Reishi that it was supposed to handle.

Thanks to the Quincy technique that was imparted to him the moment he took Yhwach's blood, he used this raging Reishi to form a constant stream that would attract more Reishi from his surroundings.

This unique type of control over Reishi created a spectacular visual effect of a blue pillar of light rising up from him for a short moment before it gathered back and formed a single wing on his back that looked like a geyser of blue flame.

Kisuke became aware that it was at this point that he could activate [Vollständig], but he didn't know how to do that yet. 'Maybe I can call the Schrift that Yhwach gave me like how I call my Zanpakuto?' He asked himself but opted not to do anything like that yet since this is all new to him and wanted to explore this in a controlled environment.

Continuing the process of [Letzt Stil], which is the archaic version of [Vollständig], blue motes of light started emerging from his surroundings and went towards his blue flaming wing. But instead of disappearing like how it goes when activated in Reishi-only worlds like the Seireitei or Hueco Mundo, the things that had their Reishi forcefully extracted lost their vitality.

The ground and the structures became brittle, and the plant life around him withered. If there were any normal people around him, they would instantly lose their consciousness as a huge part of their soul was grinded and extracted. In fact, that's exactly what happened when the civilians and the rescue forces that were still around got caught in it.

Thankfully, they were far enough that the civilians only lost strength and were paralyzed, while the rescuers were weakened.

By this point, Kisuke could tell that everyone's attention was already focused on him. He turned and looked directly back at Loki's eyes before smirking.

Loki didn't know who this man was nor what he was doing, but the moment their eyes met, his whole being shuddered, and his guts started screaming at him about the danger, 'Death.'

Even though he's a very prideful God, Loki hurried with the construction of the Teleportation Magic and decided not to respond to the man's mocking smile.

A single arrow then formed in Kisuke's hand, and unlike his previous blue arrows that were incorporeal, this one was a fully materialized and corporeal grey metallic one.

Loki saw the man nock the very plain but very dangerous-looking arrow on his bow and shouted in panic, "Stop him!!!"

In response to his cry, the swarm of insects all left what they were doing to rush towards the unknown man.

To Kisuke, however, that was just a futile attempt. He aimed and released the arrow towards Loki, despite him disappearing from his view.

The arrow's release caused a shockwave that demolished everything nearby, but thanks to Benihime and Tiamat's barrier, his shop was spared.

The single arrow produced a blinding light and soon reached the first insects. Contrary to Loki's expectation, however, the insects were almost instantly vaporized from a single touch, "!?"

Loki didn't have enough time as the arrow pierced through the thousand insects without even slowing down, and before he could realize it, his entire stomach had disappeared along with his godly aura, "...What?"

The entire battlefield became silent.

Kisuke slowly swayed before dropping to the ground on his back. That drop of his became akin to the toll of a bell, and Helmwige finally responded. Now that the aura that was protecting Loki was gone, she was now able to enclose him in a barrier to seal him.

Kurobara and Shirayuki, while a little late, also responded and simultaneously kicked Loki away from his Teleportation Magic's range, making him crash to the ground.

At the same time, the light from the remaining insect swarm dimmed before they started falling down from the skies, crashing along with their master.

Aside from the dull sounds that the insects were making as they bounced around, another silence engulfed the scene, and it was only after a golden streak of light arrived that time began moving again for people.

"Helm-chan! Where's kaa-san!? Is she safe!?" Airi in her Counter-Balance scalemail asked while panting softly. She immediately assessed the situation, and while she was curious about what happened to Loki and what that bright light was that pierced through the skies, she was more concerned with the emergency call she received earlier.

She paused for a bit when she saw the man who was laying on the ground, who seemed to be the source of the piercing light earlier, with three people around him, all poking his face as if to make fun of him. Airi, however, was not expecting that one of these three people would be acting like this, '...Ophis-chan?'

But before Helmwige could answer, another light arrived, and this time, it was bluish-white. "...I guess I'm late." His pristine white armor with embedded blue gems was radiating with thick Dragonic Aura. Vali didn't catch the arrow when he was rushing, but he felt the tremor it caused. He wanted to see who came up with that attack but also paused and hesitated when he saw Ophis mingling with an unknown group of people.

Helmwige and the others that Ophis had already left their side answered Airi's question, "...She's alright? She's with Ex right now."

Airi and Vali found this answer filled with uncertainty weird, but soon, the last attack's 'noise' subsided, and they were able to more freely feel the surroundings. The first thing they noticed was the weird aberration of aura whiffing out from the hole leading to the artificial dimension.

While the former was unfamiliar with it, the latter found it nostalgic, "...It can't be..." Vali muttered before flying towards the hole.

"Kuro-chan! Yuki-chan! Secure Loki. Everyone else, collect and secure these insects. Helm-chan, give me a rundown of what happened." Airi immediately assumed command and sent out instructions. She then also flew towards the artificial dimension while asking Helmwige to follow her.

Soon enough, Airi and Helmwige reached where Vali was standing, not far from the unconscious Ex, who was still transformed, and Asia.

They landed near him, and instead of saying anything, Vali stayed quiet to listen to Helmwige.

Vali heard everything, but within that story, he found something strange, which included Airi's reaction, "...You guys... You shouldn't have any experience with a Juggernaut Drive, yet you're talking like this isn't the first time you've come across it. What's more intriguing is that it seems you're sure that he's going to go back to normal without any problem."

Airi and Helmwige shook but didn't know what to say.

Although she only received video clips of it, Airi was still aware of what Ex had done in his training. But explaining that now without causing misunderstanding and breaking their contract would be tough, so she immediately changed the subject, "...Let's dispel the curse on Kaa-san for now. Have Kuro-chan and Yuki-chan bring Loki over."

Vali sighed and wondered what they were hiding. It was the Juggernaut Drive he knew for sure, but something was different about it, 'I'm pretty sure that the spirit inside it was not an offshoot from Ddraig... But what's this?' He was tempted to go towards the man whom Ophis was poking but opted not to do it and just watched Ex carefully now.
