The Second Zanpakuto

Jiang Chen had not expected the system mission to refresh so soon, much less that he would receive a special reward.

"Draw!"

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, on obtaining the Super S-Class Zanpakuto, Omniscient.]

Omniscient? What was that? Jiang Chen had never heard of this Zanpakuto.

He immediately opened its attributes to take a look.

[Super S-Class Battle Soul Omniscient: The oldest Zanpakuto, an auxiliary-type Zanpakuto. It can identify an enemy's weaknesses and know all truths.]

Wasn't this basically an encyclopedia?

Jiang Chen happened to know very little about the Demon's Heart, nor did he know how to destroy it. But with Omniscient, what did he have to fear?

"Brother Chen, why aren't you eating?"

The fat man was wolfing down chunks of meat. Noticing that Jiang Chen had not taken a bite in a long time, he asked, "Is the barbecue not good?"

"Or is something wrong?"

"I'm fine. I just feel a little tired and want to go back."

"Then I'll take you!"

The fat man swallowed the meat in his mouth, stood up, and said, "I'll drive you guys back."

Jiang Chen did not refuse. The fat man had a car, and he happened to want to get home as soon as possible to check out his newest Zanpakuto, Omniscient.

Naturally, the faster the better.

By the time the fat man drove Jiang Chen home, it was already very late.

Sitting in the driver's seat, the fat man said to Jiang Chen, "Brother Chen, see you tomorrow."

"Yeah, see you tomorrow."

Zhang Banxian's home had not arrived yet, so he did not get out. Waving to Jiang Chen, he said, "Uncle-Master Jiang, I'll report the situation here to my master and see what he thinks. If there's any news, we'll practice again then."

"Alright!"

Jiang Chen waved goodbye to the two of them and returned home.

At home, his younger sister Xiao Lan was already asleep, so he returned to his room alone.

Inside his room, Jiang Chen took out his newest Zanpakuto and called out, "Awaken, Omniscient."

Omniscient showed no response and remained in its sealed state in Jiang Chen's hand.

System, what's going on?

Jiang Chen asked,

[Ding! The Host does not yet meet the conditions to use Omniscient.]

Conditions? What conditions?

[To release Omniscient, the Host must possess a female Zanpakuto.]

Jiang Chen knew that all Zanpakuto possessed their own spirituality, especially particularly powerful ones.

They all had their own tempers.

What he had never expected was that the condition to release Omniscient was possessing a female Zanpakuto.

What a bizarre condition.

Fortunately, he still had 10,000 Activation Points left unused.

He directly exchanged them in the system shop for Rukia's Zanpakuto, Sode no Shirayuki.

That should be enough to meet Omniscient's release condition now.

After exchanging for Sode no Shirayuki,

Jiang Chen chanted again, "Awaken, Omniscient!"

The moment his words fell, Jiang Chen felt more than half of his soul power being drained away.

The Zanpakuto in his hand vanished.

A refined, bespectacled man wearing a white Shinigami uniform appeared before Jiang Chen.

Yawning, he said, "Who disturbed this old man's sleep?"

"It was me!"

Jiang Chen replied directly.

"Call out Sode no Shirayuki, and then we can talk."

Omniscient glanced at Jiang Chen and said bluntly.

"This..."

Jiang Chen was a little troubled.

Releasing Omniscient had already consumed three-quarters of his soul power.

Sode no Shirayuki was quite powerful, and the soul power it required would not be little either. He probably could not release two Zanpakuto at once.

"I never expected that after countless millennia, the person summoning this old man would be such trash. How terribly dull. This old man will go back to sleep."

Omniscient stretched lazily and was about to disappear when he spotted the poster pasted on Jiang Chen's wall.

He immediately perked up. "Who are these beauties? They seem much more to this old man's taste."

"These are celebrities from our world. They're all radiantly beautiful."

"Where are they? This old man wants them!"

Omniscient asked eagerly.

"To meet these female celebrities, you either need money or power. I have neither. How am I supposed to meet them?"

"What trash. With this old man here, I'll definitely make you the most prestigious person in this world in the shortest time possible. Then won't this old man be able to meet whichever female celebrity he wants?"

"Probably!"

In his previous life, Jiang Chen had been a Second-Generation Rich. Because of that status, he had naturally met celebrities at some upscale events.

Celebrities? Once you had seen enough of them, they were nothing special.

They did not have three heads and six arms, nor were they immortals descended to earth. They were merely ordinary people polished up by packaging.

He had been nervous when he first met them, but later on, it no longer felt like much.

As for the posters on the wall, could he say that the wall was too shabby, so he had found some pretty paper to cover it?

"Let's cut the nonsense. Tell me, what do you want to know?"

Even as he spoke, Omniscient kept looking at the female celebrities on the wall.

"I want to know how to destroy a Demonic Beast's heart, and when the Super S-Class demonic beast will awaken."

Acting as though he were at home, Omniscient sat in Jiang Chen's chair, crossed one leg over the other, and asked, "Will asking about that make you the richest and most powerful person?"

"But before becoming the richest and most powerful person, I need to make sure I stay alive."

Jiang Chen briefly explained that the city's Super S-Class Demonic Beast was about to awaken and destroy the city.

After hearing this, Omniscient said, "If I told you that the Demonic Beast's Heart isn't in the Ten Thousand Monster Forest, would you be surprised?"

What...

The fact that the Demonic Beast's Heart was in the Ten Thousand Monster Forest was no secret.

It had always been deep within the Ten Thousand Monster Forest, guarded by an S-Class Demonic Beast.

That was why no one had been able to destroy it all these years.

After all, they did not have the strength to challenge an S-Class Demonic Beast.

Yet now, Omniscient was telling Jiang Chen that the Demonic Beast's Heart was not in the Ten Thousand Monster Forest.

Then where was it?

Jiang Chen had just been about to ask when Omniscient answered, "Your soul power is insufficient, so I can't determine the Demonic Beast's Heart's exact location. But I can confirm that it isn't in the Ten Thousand Monster Forest."

"Also, I can tell you one thing: the Demonic Beast's Heart is in this city."

The Demonic Beast's Heart was in this city.

That made things even more complicated.

"Omniscient, do you have a way to find the Demonic Beast's Heart?"

"The Demonic Beast's Heart is actually the heart of the Super S-Class Demonic Beast sealed in this city. If you can find a part of that Super S-Class Demonic Beast's body, it will guide you to the Demonic Beast's Heart."

"And that Super S-Class Demonic Beast is already reviving. If you want to find its main body, you'll probably have to start with your school."

Jiang Chen still wanted to ask more, but Omniscient interrupted him. "Your soul power is running out. Let's stop here for today. This old man is going back to sleep."

With that, Omniscient vanished.

Jiang Chen stared into the vast night, unable to sleep.

The Demonic Beast's Heart was not in the Ten Thousand Monster Forest at all, so going there would be pointless.

Yet he had no way to verify whether what he knew was accurate. After all, only he could see Omniscient.

Things had become rather troublesome!!!
