Playing With Other Supernaturals

Restoras' head spun uncontrollably, but even then, he was able to hear a familiar voice and saw a familiar but vague silhouette, "...Chi...mune?"

Chimune caught Restoras' spinning head and hugged it, making sure that he was facing away from her. She had a complicated expression on her face and never thought that he'd be reduced to this state, 'Even if he's just a head, he should still be able to easily regenerate his body... But I can't even feel him manifesting his power.'

Chimune turned her head and looked at the three people who still hadn't sheathed their swords and were now pointing at her.

She thought for sure that only Kisuke would be able to threaten Restoras' life, but clearly, she didn't know enough about them, 'I shouldn't have been complacent just by viewing Issei Hyoudou's perspective. Now that I think about it, he has been making an effort to avoid Kisuke Urahara's group. Could he have realized it long ago?'

As Chimune secured Restoras' head, he closed his eyes and cut off his consciousness. While she was doing so, she felt the inactive seal that Aika gave him the moment she cut his arm for the first time. It was a seal that Kisuke gave her to contain Restoras, but it would seem that it wasn't needed in the first place, 'He did remind me that Restoras might die, but I didn't take it seriously.'

Sighing, Chimune sealed Restoras' head in a transparent cube, "Thank you for your efforts. I'll be taking it from here. You should go back to his side."

Chimune didn't wait for their reply and disappeared along with Restoras.

Only then did Aika and Ichigo release their tension, "Thankfully, it worked out the first time."

Aika also released her [Outrage] and groaned in pain, "...Right... Thankfully."

Sona caught Aika and immediately began the process of teleporting, "She's going to be fine. Thank you very much for your assistance today. We'll be sure to return the favor one day."

Ichigo couldn't say anything else as the two of them also disappeared. He could only scratch his head as he watched Sona's cage disappear and Restoras' domain collapse, 'I guess I'll go back.'

With Ichigo returning to Mars' surface, the previous battlefield descended into complete silence. But little did everyone involved in it know, there was a pair of eyes keenly watching them from the depths of space, undetected by even Kisuke, Regalzeva, Restoras, or Chimune.

"Are you now convinced?" A young man's voice resounded quietly.

Inside his head, a voice replied, [As I've said, I'll leave it to your judgment.]

The young man smiled wryly, "Are you really the same guy?"

[...]

Receiving no response, the young man continued, "And it has been a while since you've seen the Holy Mother. How do you feel?"

[…No matter how similar they are, they are not the same person. Just like how I'm not the same person who exists in this world. It's also because of that this project is possible.]

After that brief reply, the young man felt the presence inside his head disappear.

He sighed, but he also agreed with his words. Although there were many familiar faces in this world, they were not the same people that he knew, "I certainly underestimated his influence in this world. I guess I should meet him again... And this time, I should probably introduce myself properly... For the sake of our worlds."

. . .

It was an unbelievable sight. One of the Gods they worshiped had fallen to the ground, helpless.

"Master!?" Both Rugatimu and Durmado exclaimed at the same time.

Despite the distance, the two of them and everyone else paying attention saw a blade going through Regalzeva's head. The Evies couldn't say anything anymore and could only stare at the 'monster' that emerged from the ground beneath their lord.

With extreme hate, all the Evies started blasting the barrier in an attempt to break through by brute force. Sadly for them, the barrier was specifically designed to neutralize such tactics, "...Just what is... that!?" Durmado muttered in frustration while blasting the invisible wall in an attempt to oversaturate it.

Rugatimu flew beside him and carefully stared at the 'monster', "Its face matches the individual known as Kisuke Urahara."

"What!?"

But before they could investigate further, their view dimmed as their sights were covered by darkness. They immediately realized that the barrier itself had stopped the light from coming through from the outside and between the 'rooms'. Nevertheless, this didn't stop Durmado from his attempt at wanton destruction. He didn't care who he hit. He figured that as long as he pumped and flooded the 'rooms' with enough energy blasts, he'd soon hit a critical infrastructure that's keeping this barrier up.

Rugatimu wanted to stop him because it might just complicate their situation, but he knew that once he became like this, he would listen to no one aside from the Pillar Gods.

Thankfully, the voice of such a Pillar God reached the Evies who had started to panic, [Gather together and retreat the moment you have the chance.]

"Master!?" Rugatimu and Durmado exclaimed once again, "What's going on!?" asked the latter. Normally, this tone of voice and refusal to listen to orders would have warranted punishment, but this wasn't the time to think about that for Durmado.

However, there was no further reply from Regalzeva.

Durmado was about to raise his voice once again when Rugatimu grabbed and stopped him, "Do you not trust the master? He's the strongest being in this cosmos. Don't worry about him. Better yet, let's follow his will. He might have discovered something that would be extremely detrimental to our cause, so he's asking us to retreat. There's no point in fighting here."

Durmado clenched his fist but was able to calm himself down and understood Rugatimu's words. But while he understood that inside his head, he still couldn't easily accept it and could only begrudgingly agree with Rugatimu, "Alright... Let's consolidate our forces."

Riveria, who could peer through the now blackened barrier, managed to keep track of the Evies' movements, 'They are gathering to one side? What's this?'

At that moment, Riveria received a telepathic call from Yoruichi, [How is it? Can you keep track of everyone?]

"Yes... But there's something strange going on."

[Let me guess. The Evies started gathering together?]

"...Yes. How did you know?"

[I'll tell you about it later. Just send everyone a reminder to disengage from them and focus on eliminating the Etouldes. They won't be a threat as long as no one approaches them.]

"Understood. What about Indra and Shiva's side?"

[We can't have Indra's side fall here. No matter how at odds we are with them, this world needs their existence. Shiva's side, on the other hand, is free real estate. You can pour all your frustrations into them. Don't let any of them leave alive.]

Although confused, Riveria smiled at Yoruichi's words, "I'll make sure to relay that to everyone."

[Oh, and by the way, some of the helpers are about to arrive. Let them do what they want.]
