Original God, But It's a Chat Group

Of course, that unknown factor was based on Aizen not understanding them. But now that he had obtained the plot from Li Yue, Aizen already understood Tenjirō Kirinji and Yhwach very well. As far as the current Aizen was concerned, he had absolute confidence in dealing with those two enemies!

Meme Lord: What a pity. Godfather's about to start showing off, but I can't watch it in person. That's Godfather's tutorial on how to show off! What a shame!

Fat Woman in Black Stockings: ...

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: ...

Aizen felt that there was really no need for that. He had originally thought the lines he had prepared were rather good, but saying them in person after people already knew them in advance felt incredibly awkward.

Meme Lord: Godfather can start a livestream when the time comes. We've already seen the future plot, but a first-person livestream of Godfather showing off would definitely still be amazing!

Fat Woman in Black Stockings: Compared with fighting and killing, I prefer scenic livestreams. But the Soul Society's scenery is quite nice too. It would be best if you could stream it.

Kasumigaoka Utaha did not enjoy watching fighting and killing. After all, she was a high school student from an ordinary daily-life world. She could not possibly be interested in bloody things, so she only wanted to see the scenery of the Bleach world. In the memory file Li Yue had uploaded, Aizen's world, Karakura Town, was nothing special to look at, but the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo had quite an atmosphere.

However, the scenes in the memory file mainly focused on the characters, with little display of the surrounding scenery. If Aizen streamed, then according to the plot, he would first be in the Seireitei of the Soul Society and then go to Hueco Mundo. A stream would let them see the scenery of both places, which would be rather nice.

Hair Gel Man in the Sky: I am not very skilled at livestreaming, but since you two have said so, I will learn from Li Yue-kun and try livestreaming when the time comes.

Meme Lord: Good, good, good! Then I'll get to properly observe Godfather's first-person tutorial on showing off!

Li Yue looked at the Chat Group interface before him with some disdain.

According to the usual Chat Group novel formula, once a chat group met certain conditions, it should gain the ability to let its members travel to other worlds. Then the protagonist would take the group members around to show off and stir up trouble everywhere. But the Chat Group in Li Yue's hands was far too bare-bones. There were no group check-in points, no group shop for purchases, and most importantly, no group travel function. Aside from Li Yue possessing the Group Leader's authority to kick people, mute them, and grant administrator privileges, everything else was just what ordinary Chat Group members could do.

The only two differences from a chat group on a computer were that the group members came from different worlds, and that they could use Group Red Packets and files to send real physical objects.

It was rare for him to transmigrate, and he had even obtained a cheat like the Chat Group, which connected all sorts of worlds. It would be such a pity if he could not travel to them. It would be wonderful if he could.

As for whether he would be able to travel later, that depended on whether this Chat Group would cooperate.

Li Yue checked the countdown in the corner of the Chat Group. There were still more than twenty days before the next thirty-day countdown ended. If two people could join then, the group would have five members. Perhaps a new function would unlock at that point, such as a group shop selling travel talismans. After all, that was how the formula usually went.

As he thought, Li Yue began tapping randomly around the Chat Group interface, hoping to find some hidden button. Although he had pinned his hopes of traveling on new members joining a month later, Li Yue still did not want to give up trying. What if there really was some hidden button?

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a waste of effort. You've been studying that thing for a month already, and you still haven't given up!"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded beside Li Yue's ear as he was researching.

"Hm? Enma's Blade?"

Li Yue looked in surprise at the Japanese-style girl standing beside him.

"Wait, you actually materialized!?"

"That's right, I materialized. So? Happy now?"

Enma's Blade placed both hands on her hips, looking as though she were saying, "I'm awesome."

"No, but I only awakened my Zanpakuto a few days ago. You can already materialize?"

"Don't you know what level of Reiatsu we have? You're not some rookie Bleach who just graduated from school. You directly obtained Kensei Muguruma-level Reiatsu from Aizen!"

"Right, right, right! I have Kensei Muguruma-level Reiatsu!"

Li Yue immediately understood.

For genius Bleach, the speed at which they awakened their Zanpakuto and trained Bankai naturally could not be compared with ordinary Bleach. Li Yue had started with Kensei Muguruma-level Reiatsu. Though people always joked about Kensei Muguruma level, Kensei Muguruma was a veteran Captain from a hundred years ago. His Reiatsu was genuinely Captain level! Li Yue had started at Captain level, making him a genius among geniuses, even if that talent had come from someone else. Both were Aizen's foster sons. If Ichigo Kurosaki could do it, why couldn't Li Yue? Li Yue would never be inferior to anyone in his life!

"So, I can train Bankai now?"

A Zanpakuto being able to materialize meant it had reached the threshold for Bankai, and Bankai could be learned.

"No, we can directly use Bankai. A Zanpakuto's personality is the same as its master's. You are me, and I am you. The two of us know each other inside and out, so there's no need for all that complicated process regarding Bankai. There's no need for that official explanation about making the Zanpakuto submit. You knew my true name from the very beginning, didn't you?"

Enma's Blade folded her arms and propped up the swelling chest beneath her kimono.

"After all, I am your other half, and my personality is the same as yours. It was rare that we transmigrated, and rare that we obtained a cheat like the Chat Group. Wouldn't it be such a pity if we could not travel to the worlds of the other people in the Chat Group?"

"Especially since I possess the same ability as that man's sword!"

"Hm!?"

Li Yue caught the key point, and his eyes lit up!

"Could your Bankai ability be that!?"

Enma's Blade smiled faintly.

"That's right. It's that!"

Separate the worlds, Enma's Blade!

Bankai was the second-stage release of a Zanpakuto after its first-stage release—Shikai—and also the Zanpakuto's final form. It allowed for a more thorough and comprehensive release and use of the Zanpakuto's abilities.

Among the thousands of Bleach in every era, only a handful could achieve Bankai. Once Bankai was attained, that Bleach's name would be forever recorded in the history of the Soul Society. Under normal circumstances, learning Bankai was also one of the necessary requirements for becoming a Captain.

After Bankai, every Bleach experienced a qualitative leap in Reiatsu and combat power. Combat power in Bankai was roughly five to ten times that of Shikai.

With Reiatsu that was already Captain level, Shikai followed by Bankai would inflate its strength to an incredibly exaggerated level.

As Aizen had said, battles between Bleach were fundamentally battles of Reiatsu. When Reiatsu became powerful to a certain extent, a Zanpakuto's ability became secondary, because powerful Reiatsu could negate all attacks! Just as Aizen could directly stop Blondie's blade with one finger, and Kenpachi Zaraki could stand still and let Ichigo slash him without receiving so much as a scratch, that was the power of Reiatsu at work.

After Bankai, not only did the Zanpakuto's appearance change, but for a small number of people, the sword itself remained unchanged. For another small number, their clothing changed after Bankai. For an even smaller number, even their appearance changed, along with their abilities.

There were mainly three types of ability changes: first, the original ability was further strengthened; second, a new ability was learned; third, it changed into an entirely different ability. Some people might possess multiple of the above situations at the same time.

In Li Yue's Inner World, after Enma's Blade told him that they could use Bankai, Li Yue directly fled Angel's Share and came to the city wall. He found a place to sit, entered Blade Meditation, and then entered his Inner World to learn about Bankai's ability from Enma's Blade.

Under an azure sky was grayish-white ground. Li Yue and Enma's Blade stood facing each other.

The girl held a long sword and pointed it at Li Yue.

"As my other half, you should understand what the true essence of V's Enma's Blade is."

As someone who had once played aerial combat games, Li Yue naturally knew the true nature of Enma's Blade.

"Enma's Blade's essence is not cutting, but separation. It can separate everything, which means it can separate space as well. It looks like it cuts open space, but in reality, it separates space."

"That's right. Enma's Blade's essence is separation, so my ability is also separation. The reason I possess such an ability is related to you, my master. After coming to this world and obtaining the Chat Group, you kept thinking about who might join the Chat Group and how you could travel to the worlds corresponding to those people. Therefore, the desire in your heart when you awakened your Zanpakuto caused my ability to be defined as an Enma's Blade related to space."

The girl swung Enma's Blade and slashed open a spatial crack before her.

"My essence is a Zanpakuto evolved from your soul, not V's demon sword. Therefore, my abilities must be continuously released through Shikai and Bankai. After Shikai, I possess the ability to separate space. I can launch Dimension Slashes to attack enemies and cut open space to create Portals."

"After Bankai, this ability to cut space will be strengthened. The range of the original Dimension Slash will be greatly expanded, becoming an enormous-area Dimension Slash. In addition, the ability to cut open space and create Portals will also be greatly strengthened."

"It will go from being a spatial gate within this world to being able to open spatial gates between different worlds. Just as V can use Enma's Blade to travel from the human world to the demon world, Teyvat has no so-called demon world, but it can directly open spatial gates from Teyvat to other worlds."

"There should be restrictions on such spatial gates, right?"

Li Yue looked at the Enma's Blade in his hand. He did not believe such an ability had no restrictions whatsoever. As the girl had said, this was a Zanpakuto, not V's Enma's Blade.

"That's right. The spatial gates you cut open can connect to other worlds, but just like Shikai, spatial gates that cross worlds require you to have coordinates on the other side or sufficient connection. Only then can they be cut open."

"If someone else possessed this ability, it might not be very useful. But we have the Chat Group, so for us, this ability is simply a perfect match with the Chat Group!"

"As for the most basic Reiatsu consumption, compared to being able to reach other worlds, that sort of thing is not worth mentioning, right?"

"That's right! Exactly! This ability is perfect for us!"

Li Yue and the girl looked at each other, then both grinned.

"Then what are we waiting for!!"

The girl directly kicked Li Yue out of his Inner World.

The moment Li Yue emerged from Blade Meditation, he sprang up from the spot and immediately began sensing the Reiatsu throughout Mondstadt City. He found the two strongest Reiatsu signatures close together—Venti and Nahida.

He leaped down from the city wall and used Flash Step through the air all the way toward Venti and Nahida.

Venti and Nahida were in the square directly in front of Favonius Cathedral, beneath that enormous Venti Statue. Venti was playing his Lyre and telling the Mondstadt citizens gathered there a story about the East Wind Dragon.

Although Dvalin's problem had already been resolved, and Jean had announced to the public as the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius that Dvalin had been dealt with, not all Mondstadt citizens knew about Dvalin. Thus, in order to make the people of Mondstadt fully remember Dvalin, Venti had put in quite a lot of effort.

When Li Yue saw them, he descended directly from the sky, drawing a wave of startled cries.

Li Yue ignored the citizens' shock and went straight to Venti and Nahida.

"No time to explain. Get in!"

Li Yue directly grabbed Nahida and took off from the spot again. Seeing Li Yue suddenly flee with Nahida, Venti stopped playing and singing. He directly created a Wind Current, vanished from where he stood, and transformed into a wisp of breeze to follow behind them.

Nahida was bewildered as she was carried along, looking at Li Yue in confusion.

"Li Yue, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Yes, something huge happened! It's not convenient here. I'll explain once we leave Mondstadt City."

Li Yue's expression was solemn, and Nahida grew nervous as well. Venti, following behind them, became anxious upon hearing that.

Li Yue was a formidable person who could defeat Dvalin in his berserk state. If such a person said something huge had happened, it had to be very serious. It also seemed to be within Mondstadt, so as the Anemo Archon, Venti had to follow and take a look!

Li Yue brought Nahida all the way to Gazing Star Cliff again and set her down.

"This should do."

"Li Yue, what exactly happened? Why did we have to come here?"

Nahida was still confused. Li Yue had not told her anything along the way, and her curiosity had now reached its limit.

Li Yue did not answer. Instead, he looked toward a rock not far away.

"Venti, since you're already here, just come out."

"Venti?"

Nahida looked around, and sure enough, she saw a green hat sticking out from behind a rock.

"Ah, well, now that I've been discovered, there's nothing I can do."

Venti smiled as though he had been accidentally discovered and stepped out from behind the rock.

"Venti, why are you here?"

The innocent Nahida asked curiously.

"Ehe~~ I saw you two suddenly leave just now, and you seemed to be in a hurry. I followed out of curiosity. Can you tell me what happened? Please, I'm really curious!"

Venti looked as though he were acting cute and begging to be told, leaving Nahida with a blank expression. Was this how the Anemo Archon asked people for favors? She had learned something!

"Since you're here too, you might as well join us. One more or one less doesn't matter anyway."

Li Yue casually beckoned to Venti.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Venti trotted over to Li Yue's side. Li Yue's lips curled upward slightly. Bringing along the Drunkard and the brat was something Li Yue had planned long ago. The brat was now his daughter, so naturally he had to bring her. As for the Drunkard, Li Yue had chosen to bring him along to build a good relationship. All Seven Archons were worth befriending, aside from Nahida, whose identity he had forced into hiding. Venti and Zhongli in particular were two people who had voluntarily hidden their identities. Li Yue planned to bring them along whenever he went to other worlds in the future. Not for any other reason—if he brought those two, there would definitely be no shortage of entertainment!

"Don't blink in a moment."

Li Yue drew Enma's Blade from his waist.

Bankai!

A pillar of blue Reiatsu shot into the sky.

Separate the worlds! Enma's Blade!

Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend world.

Inside a coffee shop beside the station, this was where Akise Tomoya had held his first gathering with Kasumigaoka, Eriri, and the others.

It was also where he had previously tried to persuade Kasumigaoka Utaha to help him write the script.

After Kasumigaoka Utaha agreed to help Akise Tomoya write the script, they had held several more meetings here. However, Kasumigaoka had not attended any of the later ones. As she had said in the Chat Group, she accepted this script to repay a favor, but she would not waste her time accompanying Akise Tomoya while he chased girls.

Therefore, those who usually gathered here were basically Akise Tomoya, Eriri, and Kato Megumi. They were here now as well, waiting for Kasumigaoka Utaha to come and join the meeting.

Ring, ring, ring—

Kasumigaoka pushed open the coffee shop's door.

"Ah, Senpai, you're finally here!"

The instant Akise Tomoya heard the bell, he looked up toward the entrance. The moment he saw Kasumigaoka, he immediately stood and waved.

"Over here, over here!"

Kasumigaoka glanced over. Sure enough, two heads were beside Akise Tomoya—Eriri and Kato Megumi were both there. Thinking that it was only these two for now, and that another girl would join them later, the girl Akise Tomoya had talked into helping compose music, Kasumigaoka could not help clicking her tongue.

Walking over quickly, Kasumigaoka went straight to sit opposite Akise Tomoya. She crossed her left leg over her right, folded her arms, and leaned back against the chair.

"Fat Woman, you're finally here. Do you know how long we've been waiting for you!"
