Playing With Other Supernaturals

Yoruichi appeared within the vast prairie with mountains surrounding it from afar.

"Oh. A new one. Maybe you can answer my question." Osiris immediately addressed Yoruichi. He looked like a middle-aged man with long black hair and quite an average face which blended in with his villager attire.

Obviously, Yoruichi ignored him and immediately went beside Akeno and Irina to check their situation, 'Hmm... Although it looks fatal, their life is not really in any danger thanks to their Dragon-like vitality. And now that it's come to this, I think they'll stop focusing on just attacking.'

A small smile emerged from Yoruichi.

Both Akeno and Irina were attack oriented and they focused on it this whole time. She could have told them that they lack the versatility to adapt to most situations, but there's no better teacher than experience. Since she knew that something like this was already coming, Yoruichi chose to let them be for the time being, 'Their helplessness now should help them bring out more of their own potential later on.'

At that moment, a Magic Circle appeared below them and removed them from the artificial space. This could be seen as cruel by those around them, but the world they were living in now was cruel enough that it'd be much more vicious to always lead them by the hand.

Dependency is not that bad and that's what she's actually doing with Kisuke. However, out of everyone, she's the only one who's prepared for him to disappear, 'They have to learn it slowly... Although he's capable of doing virtually anything, he is also the one closest to a 'true death'.' She thought to herself with a bitter face, 'You're so dependable, Kisuke, that it actually hurts. Even then, I have to carry this burden.'

Yoruichi finally turned towards Osiris and was surprised that he was still calmly smiling and wasn't pissed off like Aktzin when he was ignored.

"You're finally willing to give me a bit of your time?"

"I am, but still not much of it."

Still feeling generous, Osiris replied, "Great. Then tell me how to leave this place and I'll let you go."

"Unfortunately, that'll take too much time."

Osiris chuckled at her response, "So a bit of torture is more to your li---king...?"

Osiris' voice trailed off at the end of his sentence when a kodachi suddenly materialized on Yoruichi's right hand. He didn't know why, but his heart started palpitating the moment his eyes landed on it, "W-what is that?"

Instead of answering his question, Yoruichi took a step forward, "Aren't you lucky?"

In return, Osiris took a step back and repeated his question, but in a much louder voice and a trace of panic became even more obvious, "What is that!?"

"Instead of just dispersing as that Aktzin did after he died, you're lucky that you'll be returning back to Heaven."

"...A-Aktzin!?" Osiris knew that he still had his ability to see through lies, and that ability of his told him that the woman in front of him was indeed telling the truth, 'Aktzin is gone!? But how!? That doesn't make any sense! We are Gods! We're unequaled!'

But then, Akeno and Irina came back to his mind, 'But those mortals were strange... They had the full capability to hurt me. Although that's all, they didn't seem to have the ability to drag me into this place without me being able to resist, so it made sense that there are others besides them.'

Osiris' sights returned to Yoruichi's blade and shuddered, 'And that blade... Why is 'death' emanating from it!? She isn't even a Death God!'

But one thing was for sure. Osiris knew that she was dangerous, even for an immortal like himself, 'I have to make some distance and think of a way to get out of here!'

The God of Reincarnation turned his back on his opponent signifying that he doesn't really know how to fight. But just as he took a single step, without even realizing it, a blade was already piercing his heart.

He felt the strength leaving his body and looked down to see a protruding blade. "Gahaa!!!"

Osiris coughed out blood and the regeneration that had always been with him ceased to function, "What...?"

Yoruichi, who was behind him, also coughed out blood with a hole in her chest. Even then the smile on her face didn't disappear as she leaned forward and whispered, "You're lucky that you'll be able to reincarnate because that's how these 'Soul Slayers' work to keep the balance of the world."

"N-noooo!!!" Osiris cried in distress, but he couldn't even move away from her anymore.

"It'll be up for debate if you'll still be 'Osiris' once you wake up once again.", Yoruichi added with a chuckle, "Even then, it'll be an undeniable fact that the 'Osiris' of today ceased to exist."

In Osiris' consciousness, a giant white tiger leaped out of the darkness and clawed him. That was the last thing he saw before his physical body turned into dust and his purified soul ascended back to Heaven.

Yoruichi's Zanpakuto disappeared and she immediately pulled out a specially created potion to heal her wound, 'If he had even a little bit of resistance to being soul-slayed, he could have spelled trouble for me. If we're to meet someone like him again in the future and they're resistant to 'death', we'd have to think of a way of disabling that reflection ability first... Maybe it was the wrong choice to kill him there.'

Yoruichi contemplated whether to send this problem to Kisuke or not, but ultimately decided against it, 'He's already too busy as it is. I'll ask Kuroka to look into this.'

The artificial space began collapsing since it was not being supported anymore so Yoruichi left and returned to the room where everyone was watching.

"Good work~!" Serafall greeted her while Takemikazuchi muttered loudly, "A blade that's capable of cutting spiritual bodies. It's not a Divine Weapon, but it's very much the same as those wielded by the Gods of Death. How fascinating."

"It's nothing special. Everyone from where I came from has one."

Takemikazuchi almost spat out his drink, "...That's one terrifying place you come from."

"It's really nothing special." Yoruichi reiterated, "The Gods who have descended had forcefully formed their avatar through their Divine Power, so they didn't have the same protection as one would have when they have a natural physical body."

While Zanpakuto can cut through souls, it still has to go through a barrier called flesh and blood. So any souls still within their physical vessels are actually hard to damage. It's the reason why everyone has to leave their physical bodies behind when one wants to step into Soul Society, and that includes the Quincies and Fullbringers, who could use their soul powers even within their bodies.

"Save that for later! Things on Sona-chan's side are already picking up!" Serafall raised her voice while removing the two screens and enlarging the last one.
