Chapter 129: Using the Hōgyoku! The New World Government!
Inside the Soul Palace.
The thrones in the front row were linked together, glowing brilliantly, causing the entire palace to tremble.
"That's quite the commotion."
Magic Chu Yang stroked his chin and remarked.
One of the palace walls disappeared, transforming into a dreamy, illusory nebula.
"What the heck is this now?"
Naruto Chu Yang curiously approached, ready to step in, but Pirate Chu Yang yanked him back.
"You have no idea what it is, and you're just gonna walk in? Aren't you afraid something might happen?" Pirate Chu Yang said irritably.
"Send a Shadow Clone in first to check it out," Magic Chu Yang suggested.
Naruto Chu Yang nodded, summoned a Shadow Clone, and sent it inside to investigate.
A moment later, the Shadow Clone returned with a baffled expression. "Inside... it's the Naruto world!"
Everyone was shocked!
"What do you mean? Did we just open a path between dimensions?" Demon Slayer Chu Yang asked in astonishment.
"I'm going in to take a look."
Naruto Chu Yang was eager to see for himself.
"I'll go with you!"
Demon Slayer Chu Yang immediately followed—he, too, wanted to witness another world.
The two stepped into the nebula together. A few seconds later, they returned, one after the other.
Demon Slayer Chu Yang had a strange expression. "That's not the Naruto world—it's the Demon Slayer world."
Naruto Chu Yang was taken aback. "No, it's definitely the Naruto world! Did you even go in? I didn't see you at all!"
Magic Chu Yang suddenly understood. "You both returned to your respective worlds. This nebula is a portal for us to travel back and forth—meaning we can now freely enter and leave the Soul Palace!"
The realization dawned on the others.
Marvel Chu Yang continued, "That also means we can update and synchronize our training progress at any time!"
"I'm afraid it's even more than that!" Naruto Chu Yang suddenly pulled a kunai from his pocket, excitement in his eyes. "I just brought this back from the Naruto world!"
Magic Chu Yang's eyes widened. "Objects can pass between worlds freely? That means we can share resources from different worlds!"
"Forget resources—there's something even more important..."
Bleach Chu Yang pointed at the Hōgyoku floating above them. "This thing can finally be taken out!"
The Hōgyoku had appeared last time when the Zanpakutō awakened, absorbing a massive amount of energy and becoming complete. But even then, it couldn't be absorbed or removed from the Soul Palace.
Over time, they had treated it as nothing more than a lucky charm, paying it little attention.
But now, the Hōgyoku could finally be used for what it was meant for.
"Just in time. I had some ideas while organizing my abilities recently. If we can use the power of the Hōgyoku, I think I can make it happen."
Hearing this, the others curiously turned to Magic Chu Yang.
"I categorized our abilities into three aspects: Body, Energy, and Spirit."
"Techniques that enhance the body, like Origin Breathing, Lightning Release Armor, Sage Mode, and Nine Yang Divine Art, belong to the 'Body' category."
"Techniques like Ninjutsu, Curses, Kido, and Magic fall under 'Energy' techniques."
"And abilities focused on mental strength, such as Haki, belong to 'Spirit'."
"If we use the Hōgyoku as a core, we can merge all body-enhancing abilities into one."
"I call this state: 'True Origin Martial Body'."
"True Origin Martial Body?"
"Is the core still Origin Breathing?" Pirate Chu Yang asked curiously.
"That's right. Origin Breathing is the most suitable foundation because we created it ourselves, so it has the highest compatibility with us."
"But more importantly, it has no inherent limit—it can keep evolving."
Magic Chu Yang explained, "With the Hōgyoku's help, its growth potential will become even greater."
The others immediately understood his reasoning.
The Hōgyoku protected its host when near death, granting them an evolution—though this evolution was limited by the individual's potential.
For Chu Yang, however, that limit was almost nonexistent. Each additional clone increased his talent and potential.
Another power of the Hōgyoku was materializing the host's deepest desires.
Aizen's desire was to break the limits of the Shinigami, so the Hōgyoku granted him the power to surpass them.
It didn't inherently have the ability to break the limits—it simply fulfilled Aizen's wish.
If Chu Yang wanted the Hōgyoku to help him create "True Origin Martial Body," it would make it happen.
However, whether it was Aizen or Chu Yang, the Hōgyoku could only realize a wish that was feasible.
It didn't skip the process—rather, it directly transformed possibility into reality. That was its true power.
Naruto Chu Yang turned to Magic Chu Yang. "Following this logic, the Hōgyoku could also merge energy-based techniques into a brand-new ultimate technique."
Magic Chu Yang hesitated for a moment before explaining, "In theory, yes. But I'm not sure if the Hōgyoku can grant multiple wishes at once."
"Aizen only had it help him surpass the limits of both Shinigami and Hollow—he didn't ask for more."
Naruto Chu Yang sighed. "So if we try to merge all three aspects—Body, Energy, and Spirit—its effects might weaken drastically, or even fail?"
Magic Chu Yang nodded.
Marvel Chu Yang added, "That sounds highly likely. But it's fine—Aizen still has an incomplete Hōgyoku. And if necessary, we can create our own."
Pirate Chu Yang said, "The True Origin Martial Body is our priority. The rest can wait."
Everyone agreed.
With their unanimous decision, Magic Chu Yang reached out and grasped the Hōgyoku. This time, the fusion process was smooth.
Then, he focused his thoughts and began creating the True Origin Martial Body.
Everyone watched him intently, both nervous and excited.
Seconds passed.
When Magic Chu Yang opened his eyes again, a faint golden energy enveloped his body. It resembled the Tailed Beast Cloak in Six Paths Sage Mode, yet also had a touch of Indestructible Golden Body.
"Let me try it out!"
Naruto Chu Yang couldn't hold back—he pressed a hand on Magic Chu Yang and synchronized their abilities.
Moments later, his own body underwent the same transformation!
"This power is incredible! It's even stronger than when we stacked multiple buffs before!"
Naruto Chu Yang's eyes lit up with joy.
"A true fusion isn't just one plus one—it's something greater," Marvel Chu Yang said with a smile.
He, too, couldn't resist synchronizing the ability.
The rest of the Chu Yangs followed suit, experiencing this newfound power.
When Demon Slayer Chu Yang activated it, faint sun and moon projections appeared behind him, and when he swung his arm, stardust lightly scattered.
"Holy crap! Guys, it even has visual effects!"
Demon Slayer Chu Yang grinned like a kid with a new toy, showing off to the others.
"There's still so much to explore with this state." Bleach Chu Yang was satisfied.
With True Origin Martial Body and the initial release of his Zanpakutō, "Fengdu," he was now confident he could defeat Aizen in his base state.
