Superman's speed was incredibly fast. In just one day, the Undead had established liaison offices in several major cities in the World of the Living. So, after explaining Kūgo Ginjō's injuries, they urgently contacted medical personnel capable of treating him, who were expected to arrive within four hours.
Endless led the person to the liaison office that had just been prepared in Nara. Kūgo Ginjō had thought about many things along the way. He was quite clever, so he figured out some things.
"You're not Soul Reaper from Soul Society, are you?"
"Ah~ you guessed right. What? You want to use your Substitute Soul Reaper Badge to summon Soul Reaper to save you?"
He chuckled Endless, "Right now, Nara is only capable of guarding against the Soul Reapers. With that level of Soul Reaper, it's hard to say who will save whom once they arrive."
This undeniable fact left Ginjo speechless. The bleeding had stopped; after all, he was practically a superhuman, with an extremely high pain tolerance after his soul awakened.
"Why did you kidnap me? You're all so powerful!"
"My lord is somewhat interested in your existence, but not that much. In fact, once he judged you to be scum, you could have died. However, our lord is a merciful man, so he spared your life to see if you can be taught a lesson."
"Ha, so this is how merciful you are?" Ginjo shook his left arm, its surface smooth as a mirror. "Ah~! Crack~ Ha!"
The strange sound came from Endless pinching his wound, digging three fingers directly into the flesh of Ginjo's severed arm, even kneading the bone. This pain instantly numbed Ginjo.
Endless held his breath for over ten seconds, which felt like an eternity to Ginjo. Endless wiped the blood from his hands and said, "Our lord is merciful, but that doesn't mean I'm merciful. Besides, what use is mercy to someone like you?"
The biggest difference between Ginjo and Ichigo lies in this: although Ichigo is also a bit dim-witted and recklessly charges ahead, he understands right and wrong, good and evil. Ichigo, Ginjo the other hand, is simply evil.
For example, Ichigo fights in the original work, it's to help a classmate who's being bullied. He's not abusing his power; he's using violence to fight violence, not initiating it.
Ginjo fights for only one reason: he wants to hit someone. It's that simple. He wants to hit someone, so he will. What does the person he hit have to do with him? If you show up in front of me when I want to hit someone, isn't that your fault?
Such people are unreasonable, or rather, they only think of reason when they are being bullied, just like now when faced with Endless situations.
"You~"
The Endless voice elicited a response from Ginjo. He needed to hear Endless's words, otherwise even greater suffering might await him.
"Hmph~ You're much more obedient now. Actually, you weren't our main target this time; we were just passing by. But this should be considered somewhat beneficial for you, letting you know that there are always people more powerful than you, and you're nothing special. However, now that you've become Substitute Soul Reaper, you've stepped into the entanglements of the afterlife."
"In all these matters, we're just one side of the power. Let me tell you a secret: we're enemies of the Soul Society. Does that help you become a good dog of the Soul Society? I'm very interested to know that, haha~"
"In three more hours, your treatment team will arrive, and then we'll probably have nothing to do with each other anymore. I wish you success at work, a promotion and a raise soon, and that you die soon, becoming a real Soul Reaper, huh~ haha~, what an interesting blessing."
"Miscellaneous cultivator~"
Afterwards, Endless and the Kariya Jin isolated Ginjo. Looking at the dejected Ginjo, Shouyashin sighed with emotion, "Was I once like this?"
Yoshino smiled gently, took Kariya Jin's hand and held it, "It's alright, more or less, but there's a difference in essence. You did it for a certain purpose, while he did it simply because of violence."
"Hmph~, your self-destructive tendencies stem from a hatred that has no future, even a tendency to lead your entire clan to their deaths. From a personal perspective, you're not as disgusting as him, but from the perspective of the clan, you're far more disgusting."
Kariya Jin's face flushed red and then turned pale, Endless uncomfortable. Wujin continued, "The Nara Office needs to be relocated. The Soul Reaper will definitely come to investigate; they might even shut it down nationwide for a few months until the Soul Reaper's attention wanes. Don't rush the search for Fullbringers; there aren't that many available. It's all about luck."
"Understood~"
"Should we increase the number of Substitute Soul Reaper?"
Endless's suggestion sparked everyone's thought. Key of Time pondered for a moment, "That's a question for Soul Society, isn't it? Soul Society won't acknowledge artificially created Substitute Soul Reaper."
"Coincidences don't just happen easily."
Too many coincidences cease to be coincidences.
"Hmph~", Endless looked at the imprisoned Ginjo and smiled meaningfully, "I've already foreseen his tragic fate."
Just as Endless said, Kūgo Ginjō's tragic fate was inevitable. He was the only Substitute Soul Reaper, which meant he had no political power whatsoever, and his fate was entirely controlled by the Soul Society.
At the same time, he was a living person, which made him an anomaly in the afterlife, something that needed to be eliminated. From the moment he appeared, countless Soul Reapers felt that he should disappear.
In the future, if Ichigo Kurosaki's father hadn't been Isshin Kurosaki, his fate wouldn't have been much better than Kūgo Ginjō's. Why were all the members of the Fullbring Club killed by Soul Reaper? They were all talented individuals with special abilities, so why weren't they given Substitute Soul Reaper Badge? Because it wasn't necessary.
Just like the Undead, or Bount, anything not belonging to the Soul Reaper is an enemy and should be eliminated. However, in a sense, the Soul Reaper's duty is to protect humanity from Hollows. But some people are harmed by Hollows and survive, even giving birth to children with Spiritual Powers. Aren't these children themselves the result of the Soul Reaper's mistakes?
However, this is not the case in the Soul Society. These people are merely sinful beings, and they deserve to die.
As expected, Kūgo Ginjō reported the existence of the unknown force to the Soul Society. The Soul Society took it very seriously, but after a wide-ranging search, they found that they couldn't find anyone at all.
The Soul Reapers, of course, could Undead find anyone. The Undead have evolved to the point where they can reliably prevent their Spiritual Power from spreading. To the Grim Reapers, Soul Reaper appear as if they were alive. Unless you use a Spiritual Power detector to test each person individually, you have no chance.
So the matter was dropped. Kūgo Ginjō was completely baffled. How could such a big thing have been forgotten after just a few months? Was it just abandoned? At this point, Ginjo seemed to understand some of Endless had told him before.
But more than anything, he didn't understand, or rather, their values clashed and he didn't want to understand. That was the truth. Ginjo continued to do things his own way; Chun's attention had long since shifted away from him.
The number of Fullbring users all of Japan is quite large. Several members of the Fullbring club from the original work who awakened their fullbring abilities have been found, including the eyepatch-wearing man, Kiriko Sawa, who was murdered because her depravity was unimaginable.
He used his abilities to amass wealth and harm others, frequently cursing those he disliked. His flawed time-manipulation ability, which he believed was simply a matter of making a wish, was actually already customized within his pocket watch, setting specific times and events according to his desires, as he hadn't yet fully developed it.
For example, when gambling with someone, he makes a wish on his pocket watch, and after a certain number of rounds he will start winning. This "number of rounds" represents the time limit. Before this number of rounds, everything is normal for him. Then, once the time limit is reached, he will start winning indefinitely.
This item falls under the category of props involving causality; every cause has an effect. Therefore, after being customized to have special effects on a person, the side effects could easily kill that person.
For example, he was once dissatisfied with his wife's appearance, so he promised her that he would become beautiful. His wife indeed became incredibly beautiful. However, this was ultimately driven by Spiritual Power, and his wife's transformation required the consumption of Spiritual Power. Where did this Spiritual Power come from? It came from his wife's soul.
Therefore, if he uses his abilities on certain people, altering the target without a time limit, it's tantamount to murder. Take the gambling example: his wish is to start winning from a certain round, the underlying condition being that the game ends when it's over. But if his wish is to win every single time, then he himself will be killed by that wish.
Therefore, after he developed his abilities, all his abilities had a duration and an end time. If he were to use a custom ability with no end time, the consequences would be terrifying. Unfortunately, he later thought he was strong enough to solve problems through combat, and was thus killed by Kenpachi Zaraki with a single strike. If he had used some kind of unlimited time ability on Kenpachi Zaraki would have been in serious trouble.
This guy had already killed a lot of people before Kūgo Ginjō found him. He usually used this thing to make money. For example, if a girl wanted to experience a Cinderella fairy tale, he would use a custom ability to make her beautiful for a certain period of time, which was entirely possible.
This miraculous ability grants him immense prestige on many levels, and he even proclaims himself a spokesperson for God. It's perfectly normal for him to have his way with the girls who become more beautiful, and then, after he's done, he changes the "customized" arrangement to an indefinite one, claiming he's given them the life they truly desire.
He did far more things like this, and his uncooperativeness and dangerous abilities were extremely high, leaving no choice but to Undead him. This guy was truly despicable.
As for what he wanted Kūgo Ginjō to do for him in the original work, it's actually quite simple: he wanted to become Soul Reaper), he wanted to achieve immortality, so he could enjoy his wonderful life for even longer.
The remaining characters from the original work are all quite young and haven't yet faced those criticisms. The extremely wicked Yukio hasn't even been born yet. However, the dark-skinned girl, Jackie, is different; her awakening was due to the death of her entire family. But this girl herself is incredibly resilient.
Therefore, in the original work, within the Xcution organization Fullbring Club, only one person was truly saved: Riruka the Poison Bee, who was only four years old. Jackie Tristan was also brought back, along with a six-year-old girl.
After receiving all the information, Jun from Soul Society went to his own underground space and found a Zanpakuto that had not yet been imbued with power.
"Although the person is dead, their abilities are very interesting, so I'll keep them."
"Heavens! Those who manipulate time must exercise restraint! Those who make wishes must not speak falsely! Awaken! Time Never Lies!"
