When Wu Lei collapsed unconscious on the floor of the Library of Knowledge, Ichigo appeared and, without hesitation, stabbed him in the heart and head, shattering his brain.
About two seconds later, a soul emerged from Wu Lei's body.
When Wu Lei regained consciousness, he was so furious that he began cursing incessantly and swearing revenge on my descendants.
But I paid him no mind, and without hesitation, I pierced his chest with such force that my hand came out the other side of his body.
In my hand, I held a golden sphere.
It was Wu Lei's origin, or root.
Indifferently, I crushed his origin, preventing him from reincarnating again.
Upon crushing Wu Lei's origin, a sphere of dark gold light tried to escape.
Just as it was about to escape, Tet, or the consciousness of the planet, appeared and trapped the dark gold sphere, enclosing it in multiple layers of magic circles, preventing its escape.
"Good job, Ichigo Kurosaki, for killing the illegal reincarnator," Tet said emotionlessly as he watched Wu Lei's soul disappear into dust.
"It's my job after all, and you gave me an ability before I completed the mission."
"Answer: It is necessary to prevent any errors."
"Yes, but why such a powerful stealth ability like Lost Existence, erasing my entire existence from the world temporarily? If it weren't for Beatrice, who is made of my spiritual energy, even she would have forgotten me."
"Answer: It is a necessary precaution."
"You already said that before, by the way."
But before Ichigo could continue his question, his perception noticed something unusual in the spiritual particles in the air.
The spiritual particles in the air began to increase at a very rapid rate.
"Tet, what's happening with the Reishi in the air? Why is it increasing faster than normal?" Ichigo's tone was slightly anxious. After all, although spiritual particles increase their growth rate from time to time, it's only a little, not such a rapid growth rate. "Answer: The illegal reincarnator, with the help of the system and his actions of changing fate, managed to accelerate the production of spiritual particles in the air by sacrificing a portion of the planet's vitality."
"So, how many times faster did the process of the spiritual particles appearing become?"
"Answer: 10 times faster."
Upon hearing that answer, Ichigo could only think that he was in big trouble, very big trouble.
After all, Ichigo had planned to train until he was 14 years old, and then when the portals appeared, he would fight and rescue people for about two years.
And then he would create a Gotei 13 to reorganize the country of Japan, and if he had time, he would help other countries return to order.
But now, because of this illegal reincarnator, the time of the apocalypse has been moved forward.
"Hey Tet, will this be the only illegal reincarnator?" I asked with some hope, but I already knew the answer.
"Answer: Illegal reincarnators constantly come to this world, and some have already reincarnated as babies, but with their memories temporarily sealed."
Upon hearing Tet's words, I simply accepted reality and strengthened my resolve.
"I see, thank you for the information, but now I have to go rescue the other kidnapped children," I said calmly.
"If it's not too much trouble, could you tell me the exact coordinates?"
"Answer: The coordinates will be transferred to the artificial spirit's mind [Beatriz]." With those words, Tet disappeared in a flash.
Time began to flow again.
"Are you finished talking to the planet's consciousness?" Beatriz said.
"Yes, Beatriz, for now, let's go rescue some unfortunate children and take care of some pests," I said with a little discouragement and a slight sadness in my voice.
"How annoying, you only asked for my help with this dead guy on the floor and not about this."
"But I'll do it just this once," Beatriz said as she approached me. Upon hearing Beatriz's words about the corpse on the ground, I thought, "It's better to destroy the body. Who knows if it will revive in the future or if another illegal reincarnator will take over this body?"
"Beatriz, before we leave, let's destroy this corpse, if possible, until there's nothing left but ashes."
Hearing my words, Beatriz paused for a moment and turned towards the corpse.
"What a nuisance, sometimes you should try to do some things yourself," she complained softly, but she honestly did as I asked.
"Sorry for the trouble, Beatriz, after all, my abilities are more focused on pure combat and I have few skills related to this kind of thing."
"Hmm, good that you know that."
Skillfully and quickly, Beatriz enveloped the corpse and, with fire magic, reduced it to ashes.
With another fire spell, she turned the ashes into dust.
And with yet another fire spell, she made the dust disappear completely.
"I'm finished, are you satisfied?" Beatriz said proudly.
"You missed the blood on the floor," I said with a smile.
"You're deliberately causing me problems," Beatriz complained with a pout, but honestly, the blood on the floor had disappeared.
"Are you satisfied now?"
"Yes, thank you very much, Beatriz, I couldn't do it without you," I said as I stroked Beatriz's head.
"Hmm, of course," Beatriz said, twirling her pigtails like drills.
"Now we can leave, the sooner we start, the sooner we'll finish."
A magic circle appeared on the ground beneath them.
The magic circle slowly rose until the two disappeared from the house.
Location: Japan, Yokohama Bay, underground warehouses.
"Beatriz, how many locations do we have to go to in Japan?" I asked Beatriz as I finished forming a mountain of corpses.
"There are about 7 different places in Japan alone," Beatriz said as she brought the children who were asleep due to a sleep spell.
"Well, we'll have to go to 6 more places. As for the children, let's leave them in the library for now, at least they have spiritual potential," I said as I expanded my shadow.
"That's your problem, just don't leave them inside the library for too long," Beatriz replied as she put all the children one by one into my shadows.
"Let's go, Beatriz."
"Yes."
"But first, we have to get rid of the corpses," I said, smiling.
"What a nuisance," Beatriz said, forming a barrier around the mountain of corpses.
And then she disposed of the burning mountain of corpses without leaving any ashes.
As for the souls of the corpses, they were destroyed by me when I killed them with the Quincy power.
I don't want the people I killed to become illegal reincarnators.
It may sound cruel to destroy people's souls, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
Although at this moment, people don't transform into spiritual bodies when they die. This is because at this time, humans are still adapting to spiritual particles, and their souls don't yet produce spiritual power.
And when they die, they become spiritual particles and turn into spiritual particles in the air.
According to Tet, humans would begin to adapt en masse to spiritual particles when I turned 14 years and 3 months old.
But due to the illegal reincarnator who accelerated the growth process of spiritual particles, humans won't have enough time to adapt to them.
This will cause the death of many people, leading to the near extinction of humanity.
How troublesome these illegal reincarnators are.
At least I'll have to train these children with potential.
Not only those in Japan, but also those in other countries; after all, I'm not so stingy as to not share my training methods.
Location: Japan, Tokyo Bay, one of the warehouses.
In one of the containers outside the warehouses.
"Beatriz, for some reason all the coordinates are warehouses," I asked Beatriz, who was standing next to me.
"How would I know? I don't have any intention of kidnapping children."
"But it's probably for discretion and to avoid raising suspicion," Beatriz finished speaking.
"At least this is the last place in Japan. Let's go in and take care of this place."
"We have to go to other countries to rescue people," I finished speaking and jumped out of the container towards the warehouse.
As I fell, I used Shunpo and entered the warehouse at high speed without being detected.
Upon entering, I saw all the Chinese guards dead.
I concentrated and heard a fight further ahead.
Using Shunpo, I entered a deeper room and saw a 10-year-old boy holding a katana while fighting a trio of people with different weapons.
When I entered the room, the boy was distracted, and the three opponents took advantage of this opportunity and attacked to kill.
The boy couldn't react in time; he was about to be killed and cut into pieces. With a quick Shunpo, I approached the four of them. As I ran towards them, I grabbed the hilt of Zangetsu on my back, and in the blink of an eye, I decapitated the three attackers.
I turned around with Zangetsu on my shoulder and smiled at the boy, who was a little taller than me, and said, "Hey, are you alright? My name is Kurosaki Ichigo, what's your name?"
The boy was quite confused by the situation but answered unconsciously.
"My name is Ryōma..."
