Playing With Other Supernaturals

The last few moments of the battle became a pure mano a mano fistfight.

Compared to Yoruichi's Shunko that was sharp and fast, and to Sui Feng's which was swift and flexible, Kisuke's Shunko that centered on his own blood was sluggish and heavy. But in exchange for that, each blow he could land caused devastating destruction that was capable of bypassing most defenses to a certain extent.

If it was compared to a weapon, Yoruichi was a dagger, Sui Feng was a whip, and Kisuke was a Warhammer.

Meanwhile, Tiamat's blows were just as deadly, as whenever she touched a part of Kisuke's body, it would instantly be burned despite his ridiculous durability. And even if Kisuke tried to block her attacks with his gauntlets and boots, they would be instantly destroyed, though it would only burn his skin a bit. To Tiamat's frustration, however, each time she broke those, they would also instantly regenerate and be even more complete and sturdy.

As it became a slugging contest, the impact of each of their clashes rattled the whole Game Field, which wasn't that big in the first place since there were only the two of them. These waves of destruction caused the surveillance cameras to break whenever they or the combatants got too close. Since it wasn't a typical game where there were large numbers of cameras and Ajuka had filled the field with more sensitive devices, it wasn't long before all of them broke and the viewers couldn't see anything any further.

"There's no point in sending in anymore surveillance since it's about to end.", Ajuka said while standing up from his seat, "I got everything I needed to do so I'll be taking my leave first. Have a good day."

Cleria also stood up and said, "Then we won't impose on you any longer, Ajuka-sama. Have a good day too."

But before Ajuka disappeared within the Teleportation Circle, he turned around once again, "Right. Before I forget, please tell Kisuke Urahara that Sirzechs, Azazel, and apparently Zeus would like to have a word with him."

"What!? But I thought-", nonetheless, before Cleria was able to finish her sentence, Ajuka disappeared, leaving the siblings thinking.

Cleria sat back down and sighed, "Haahh... I really hate how he keeps leaving important things unanswered."

"At least we know that the sealed leaders have a way of communication.", commented Sakura while they were waiting for Kisuke and Tiamat to emerge.

Diehauser nodded at her and added, "I also understand why he wanted to keep this a secret. After all, this Azazel Cup isn't just about reinforcing stability, but also pulling out the rotten roots when they finally reveal themselves. The fact that there's a way to contact them would make these people tread even more carefully, so make sure you don't utter a word about it."

"Understood." The sisters nodded.

At that moment, a Teleportation Circle appeared in the middle of the room, and Kisuke and Tiamat emerged. But as soon as they appeared, the Belial siblings panicked, "Nii-sama! Call the medical unit and bring our stock of Phoenix Tears!" Sakura shouted as she ran towards Kisuke who was suffering fatal burns everywhere on his body except his face. The bones in his right hand were even visible right now.

Tiamat, on the other hand, was covered in her own blood with her veins ruptured and all of her orifices bleeding. While it didn't look as bad as Kisuke, her internal injuries are nothing to scoff at. Just standing up is painful for her.

"There's no need." Kisuke stopped her mother from rushing and took out a bottle of glistening purple potion from his inventory before tossing it towards Tiamat, "Drink it. That should help ease the pain."

Tiamat stared at the unknown concoction for a short moment before popping it open and drinking it. As soon as it touched her throat, she immediately felt the effect and saw her ruptured veins visibly heal and her skin close. The soothing and warm medicine then continued to spread throughout her entire body and slowly healed her damaged organs, "What's this?", she asked while staring at the bottle, "It's as potent as Phoenix Tears... No... Maybe even better since it's slowly regenerating my Draconic Aura too."

"Where did you get this?", but as soon as she turned towards Kisuke, she saw his almost baby-like skin was already without a hint of blemish and already fully restored. With a snap of his fingers, he also restored his clothes, returning to what he was like when he first arrived here.

Tiamat looked towards his family members and saw them having the same reaction as her, confused on how he was able to restore himself within just a minute, 'Did he have a time-reversal healing magic?' Tiamat asked herself. Whether that's the case or not, she now understood his confidence in just focusing on improving his technique in the middle of their fight, "If I had known, I shouldn't have held back blowing off your limbs. Maybe I'd be in less pain." She complained while clicking her tongue.

"K-Kisuke... What was that? Your wounds were suddenly covered in smoke then everything was already healed?" Sakura asked in concern. She, of course, was not bothered on why Kisuke could instantly regenerate his flesh and bones, but more worried that it's just a superficial image he was projecting to avoid her from worrying.

Kisuke didn't misunderstand her concern and smiled to reassure her, "I'm fine, mom. This isn't just something superficial. Despite how my injuries looked, nothing among those were special or cursed, so they were no threat to my life. Though I'm a bit tired after healing all those wounds."

Not satisfied with his answer, Sakura started patting Kisuke's body while sending pulses of her own Demonic Power to examine him to make sure that there was nothing amiss.

Kisuke let her do what she wanted and turned to the still shocked Cleria and Diehauser, "Ajuka-sama left already?"

Cleria reclaimed her expression and nodded, "Ah. He knew that it's about to end so he decided to leave. But before going, he said that Sirzechs-sama, Azazel, and Zeus wanted to talk to you."

"Hmmm... I see. Well I'll have to gather more information before I speak with them.", replied Kisuke as he scrapped his initial plans before coming back, 'If those who came with Zeus are in the same faction as him, then it's not really wise to go against Apollo right now. Not to mention that Hades managed to develop fighters at the Super Devil level. I'd like to acquire his research materials first if possible. Looks like the most viable choice I have right now is to join the Azazel Cup and aim for the trophy. With that wish, I can solve the pressing problem on the other side. And if things go smoothly, we'll have more countermeasures against the unknown Gods that are eyeing this world. I'll even have my chance to return to the Seireitei.'

While Kisuke was contemplating his plans, Diehauser turned to Tiamat and asked, "I assume you've reached a decision?"

Tiamat nodded and said, "Of course. However, the ball isn't in my park anymore. I'd be happy to join his team but I don't know if he's satisfied with me."
