"Sounds dumb".
"... Tsk."
She quickly realised there was no winning when it came to the brat she was unfortunately stuck with but also wouldn't give up for the world.
Shaking her head as she decided (very quickly) that it simply wasn't worth treating arguments with those two as nothing more than some light banter. Since when it came down to the wire they would never stop her from doing anything. Just like she was unlikely to stop them; especially when Mugen was bullying him.
Instead of pondering what nonsense they would get up to this time - she decided it was time to keep back to her cute little hobby. Continuing to take in her smoke as she wandered back into the room. Specifically towards the wall behind the pair of little lovers who were concentrating on their game while sassing her.
Though, while walking forward, she did not even try to move around the table as she lifted her foot up and just so happened to flip the table causing the pieces to scatter across the floor.
Just because she wasn't going to argue with them… Didn't mean she wasn't petty.
"My board game!"
"Phew…"
"Whoops."
Konton deflated in relief that his torture was finally over while Mugen clutched her tricorn hat.
"Why did you do that!"
"I'm a cat."
Saying that without so much as hesitating for a moment - such a remorseless senseless comment caused the supposed reformed goddess to gawk.
"W-w-what has that got to do with anything?!"
Throwing her arms up as Munzumira just continued to the back wall where a shadowy membrane slinked away to reveal a tunnel that was just as eldritch. Both the kids stood up to follow from where they were kneeling to follow. Even if it was clear Konton was more willing than Mugen.
"I'm a cat; I see things I can knock over and I want to knock them over."
"... Okay that is kinda fair."
Instantly deflating as she realised the futility of arguing. Although her brow did twitch as her power allowed her to freely "see" the world if was suffused with without utilising her eyes… Which meant she had a clear view of the smug sly smirk that adorned Muznumira's doll-like features.
Softly growling as she truncated behind them with her arms crossed under her chest with a pouty face that could put the most petulant child to shame. Of course Munzumira ignored the loser. There were no rules in love and war so that meant it was fine to commit social war crimes.
Speaking of war crimes…
The membrane behind them reformed while the darkness on their path in front retreated just as they were about to step into it. Stepping into a truly massive chamber that had walls lined with thousands if not tens of thousands of medical pods. Viscous blue liquids filled each pod causing only outlines to be visible.
Each pod was on a complex set of arms that allowed for it to be replaced by even more that was stored behind those at the forefront. Not even pod had the same general silhouette but it was impossible to ignore that a large portion of them were humanoid. Some were unusually large… Some weren't.
"Humans, animals, quincy, bounts, hollows and not a single one treated differently… Truly we follow the ultimate master of equality."
"Brings a tear to my eyes."
"Boohoo~!"
Those two trolls threw themselves into eachothers arms while "crying" about the beautifully harmonic scene in front of them.
Munzumira didn't care enough about their antics to stop them as she looked over a pod that had been left out in the open with many others. These contained random body parts. Fortunately none of them were human in origin as they were instead mostly animal or hollow.
Although there were a few "puppets" from the spiritual vampires.
"I need more power but such inane material simply isn't enough to perfect my genome…"
Her lips curling down was promptly joined by her ears flattening and tail limply waving just above the ground thus making her look like a sad kitten who had broken their toy.
"The elemental-isation of those puppets was useful, at least~!"
"Eh~ but couldn't we already do something similar."
"Indeed, it wasn't necessary but it was useful, it allowed for optimisation and rather than that I found bounts ability to enhance themselves with reshi far more… Delicious than their toys."
Somehow the fangs in her mouth seemed far sharper as she had her tongue dance across them as if she was remembering a particularly tasty meal.
"Well the quincy already had something similar."
"Divergent evolution perhamps~?"
"Very likely artificial based on what we've scrounged up - difficult due to that pesky old pussy sitting on her hoard like a selfish dragon - with shinigami's being the source. No doubt researching on how to weaponise the abilities of their fallen enemies. Warmongers are all the same after all."
Lips curling up in a sly smile as her fingers traced the pod that contained one of those very bounts.
Its figure was close to a human if one ignored the fact it was currently missing a head and a caved out lower abdomen; not that it always came without.
"Of course they turned against those weapons when they refused to be obedient."
"Ara~ ore chum for the slaughter house~!"
"But a good ol' revolt would be fun to see.,,"
The boys chaos loving comment caused the two others to chuckle appreciate.
"By the looks of things those vamps had the same idea as what is left of them have been slowly connecting with one another under a unique specimen. One who fused with his doll like our theorised alternate final release. But his power is far below what either of our routes can do."
"Well you two are freakishly strong anyway~!"
That caused some veins to pop from his girlfriend's forehead as she began to grind his temples with her knuckles of mental evolution.
"Just because you don't show it doesn't mean we aren't aware of how strong you are!"
"Wahaha!"
Seeing them argue, their wielder could only let out a long sigh, unable to hide the amusement flickering across her face as she found some contentment in the scene.
Still, she had to stop Mugen from killing her boytoy.
"You are both the last born primordial gods in our home-verse so who can say… Though it's true Mugen is also a titan primordial who has dwarfism so probably is stronger in a lot of aspects. Konton is no slouch however hard to say whether he can get past your ability to evolve, Mugen."
"Well I am pretty amazing…"
Trying to seem humble but it was clear to anyone that her chest was more puffed out and her hands had also stopped torturing Konton.
"So what should I do from here on…"
Returning back to the matter at hand as she stroked her chin while siphoning in smoke.
"Why not just go to that yugi mutou place to get hollows directly from the source; plus we could take another swing at that ol' bony bastard!"
"We could have had him if you didn't begin crying over your tail feathers…"
"I-it is very important for a gryphon so it was cruel of him to try decaying them!"
"... Then why did you shove them in his face while mocking him as a dickless bastard?"
The argument was so insane that Munzumira actually had to pick Mugen's side for once.
"Style points."
"... You may continue punishment, Mugen, also it is called Hueco Mundo."
"Same difference also please don't my head is delicate as it's where I keep my thinking parts!"
Watching as the brat with a gigantic witches hat ran around (somehow not upsetting any of the very scary looking tools) avoiding the pirate hat wearing brat who she had sicked on him.
<... Maybe I should get a hat as well?>
Quickly shaking away the inane and quite stupid thought as she returned back to the primary discussion.
"But no, we won't be going there yet, not when we already found evidence that Navy had found his way there after escaping into hell. No matter how much you two want to convince me otherwise… You cannot deal with that bastard so I refuse to let you."
That caused the two of them to pause while looking very awkwardly since they appreciated the concern but felt she was underselling them since-
"We are two of the strongest primordials!"
"Indeed so I don't think you would lose in a fair fight… But you also can't win even in a fair fight while he also has far more experience than either of you two. We also don't call him the bastard for shits and giggles but because he isn't one to play fair."
Letting out a sigh as her hands soon found their way upon the heads of her two troublemaking brats.
"But he made you upset so he deserves to be beaten up…"
"Give us a shot coach…"
Now it was her turn to feel awkward so decided to pull a move straight out of the politicians handbook.
Deflect from the issue.
"We don't know where he is plus there is another reason why we need to remain here."
""Oh~?""
"I think it may be time you two attend school in the near future."
Her grin growing positively malevolent as she looked down at the two who were now shivering at the prospect of school; desperately hugging one another in mortification.
"It also seems the older sister has an admirer which means things are truly getting interesting and their suffering is bearing fruit-"
""-Because only suffering brings real strength…""
Interrupting Munzumira before she could begin to rant at them.
Making it her turn to pout.
"Rude…"
"Why do we need to attend school then!"
"Her getting a boy slash girl friend doesn't have anything to do with school or us!"
"Not for her… But I know someone else who could use some powerful seniors to back her up against all the meanies who will target the poor girl from the slums."
Both of them audibly gasping.
"So she does have compassion…"
"More chaotic than anything I could think of…"
"I have plenty of compassion."
To that Mugen looked around at all the jars filled with unwilling experimental test subjects.
"Sure seems that way."
Having no reply to that she decided she was done with talking today; retreating from her experimental chamber despite not even doing what she wanted to.
