Rebirth in Against the Gods with The Ultimate System

As he was falling, Yun Che could see the grass and rocky plains around him started to change. Trees started to grow out of the grass reaching several stories high. Not only that, even mountains and rocky canyons grew along with it. What appeared before his eyes was a vast expanse of an endless plains. Grass covered the ground and there were also trees that gave shade. Even the faint sound of running water could be heard. There were short hills in the distance that rose and fell. Occasionally, the cries of all kinds of birds and animals could be heard.

This place's refreshingly delightful atmosphere and smells were also completely different than the previous grassy and rocky plains just now. Yun Che turned around and still saw the endless plain of trees, grass and hill all-over him. The endless night has been change into a day as he can see the rays of the artificial sun somewhere in the distance.

"This is… the next trial ground? It doesn't seem… to have any hint of danger." He murmured to himself seeing the changes around him. The realm was 100% transformed including the time of the day. The only thing remains is the spiking tower where he jumped from. As the sun ray shines, even Jasmine shield her eyes in order for her to observe the place clearly. With the sun and forest covering the entire ground, she just has to put her trust to Yun Che to finish this thing.

The fall to the bottom took about a couple of minutes. The height was enough to scare those from below the Sky Profound Realm in an instant. As for this kind of guy, he rather jumped towards the bottom rather than flying to the bottom. As for the reason, he took it because of the 'thrill'.

Seeing this place, he remembered what he needed to do. "99,999 spirit beasts in less than 5 hours. How in the world I am going to pull this off?" Most characters need months to complete such task but he has five hours to finish this thing. If he do it in relaxed mode, he might needed at least 10 hours.

Boom!!!

Yun Che landed on the bottom of the tower regaining his composure. The wasteland he caused under the tower seems like it was restored back to normal as the entire realm has changed. The changes were clearly specific. He remembered the original Yun Che was teleported to a realm with no exit and it was made entirely into a forest. Patting the dust off his shoulder. He walked the grounds of the trial waiting for the moment everything will begin.

As he walked, a familiar ringing sounded in his head.

[Ding… Second Trial Initiated: Defeat 99,999 spirit beasts in under 5 hours.

Duration: 05.00.00

Difficulty: Suicidal

Reward: Dragon God Crystal Fragment.]

Stretching himself, he doubles check whether he had enough rest and energy to go forth. Didn't want suddenly getting tired for no reason. "Looks like it's time to go crazy."

Suddenly, he heard the Azure Dragon's voice suddenly sounded above him. "Normally, challengers are teleported to a separate realm for this challenge. But for you, I will bring the beasts here and change the entire realm. This dragon bid you good luck when you faced them. If you ever fail, only death awaits you."

"*Sigh, really helpful. Hmm, I was wondering why didn't I get to go that separate realm. No wonder." He said slowly in his heart before continued "All right, bring it on. I don't care if it's one thousands of tens of thousands. I'll just fuck them all to hell." As he said that, he draws Zangetsu from his back and placed it behind his head. This is the first time in this world he had an encounter far more than a thousand. Moreover, he had to complete this thing in a short time.

Then, he slowly remembered he need some help and slowly contact that person. "Yo Hoyuu, you there?"

Hoyuu hollowfied voice sounded in his mind. "What's up, King?"

Yun Che shot a smirk before saying "You interested in a little challenge?"

Seeing Yun Che challenged him, he suddenly formed a sinister grin. "Challenge? Underestimated me ehh? So what is it?"

"I just discuss with the system and increased your takeover pass three minutes just for today. But, it can only give you ten minutes for every possession. That's the highest it can gave you. Any more than that, I'll be expose to my hollow's instinct."

Showing his displeasure, he simply said "Chee, that damn system. Fine ten minutes it is."

"Also, It gave you ten minutes for every hour just for today. I am sure you heard everything from the dragon right?"

"Of course I heard it. Defeat 99 thousand plus beast in under five hours. Sounds just right my game but then again, why did you get to have all the fun?"

Yun Che rolled his eyes before saying "So, the challenge is let's see how many beasts both of us can kill. The system will keep track of our progress."

Hoyuu think for a while and said "Hmph, my limit is only ten minutes. So what about the rest? You can rack up more than me if that happens."

"Let me finish, you dumbass. Ten minutes, I will kill as much beast as possible and after that time is up. I will let you takeover me. The system only tracks what happen between my ten minutes and yours. Anything beyond that will not be counted. Seems fair right?"

"Sort off, we'll have a battle to see how many of those things both of us can kill in 50 minutes? Interesting, You're on king."

"Yeah, that'll earn your attention."

Nodding in agreement, Hoyuu continued "Bastard, you won't suggest this if you don't want something. So, what do you want?"

Yun Che was pondering for a while thinking what kind of thing he can ask from Hoyuu. Then, he had a bright idea and said "Right on. If I win, you'll give me 25 affinity points." He could use this method to decrease the amount of points he had on him. Right now, fighting Hoyuu with Evil God Arts is the least he wants to do right now. That guy gives him trouble with Kido and those arts empowering him even more.

Hoyuu almost spits blood out of his mouth. Those affinity points were the only way for him tochallenge Yun Che legally. Also, he can fight him with full power every time they trained. "You…. 25 points too much. Seven points."

Yun Che bickers back at him. "Too little. Let's settle this at fifteen points."

"Damn you, ten points and that's final. Wouldn't want to lose the opportunity to beat your ass. Ten points or you're on your own."

Yun Che wanted to increase but sighs anyway. "Fine, ten points it is."

With that Hoyuu and him comes to an agreement before saying "Hehe, you bastard. So what happen if I win?"

This time, it's his turn asking him. "What do you want?"

"Ohh, I'll tell you what I want. From now on, Increase my possession to your body for ten minutes instead of three and you'll let me out anytime I want." This is the perfect opportunity for him to come out to the real world. Yun Che didn't summon him as often as before and he was getting bored. If he wins this round, he can come out and cause some ruckus while at it.

This had him thinking for a while, in the end Yun Che just nodded. "Hoo…All right then. Going for the maximum huh? Sure thing." He'll make sure to win this challenge. If Hoyuu takes over him anytime, all hell will break lose. Besides, he'll never lose to him.

Seeing him agree, Hoyuu shot him with a smirk. "It's a deal. You're going down. King. I can't beat your ass during training. Maybe I can beat your ass this time."

"Hoho.. you wish."

.........….

[Ding… Stand by.]

[Ding… Stand by.]

[Initiating Dragon God Second Trial.]

[Beast Remaining: 99,999]

[Time Remaining: 04.59.59]

All of a sudden, lights appearing all over the realm indicating the trial has begun. Beneath those thousands of towering lights, beast with multiple sizes emerges from lights. Starting from hundreds and thousands appeared covering the whole area with spirit beasts. It was also at this time that the Primordial Azure Dragon's voice sounded.

"Reaper, welcome. This place, is the Dragon God Trial's second trial ground. This trial ground has no limit, and also has no exit. You can only leave this place after you have successfully completed the trial. Or perhaps you would be buried here before completing the trial."

Then, it continued "There are an innumerable amount of spirit beasts here in this endless plain. The level of the spirit beasts here has all been adjusted with your strength as the benchmark. Also, as a result of the two-fold difficulty level you have to bear, complete this trial under five hours. As for some of the more powerful spirit beasts, their strength far surpasses the Stone Dragon Warriors that you had killed."

"Well, no shit. Most of them might be at the same strength but it'll be too boring if none of them are stronger than that. So, that means their strength can achieve Tyrant Profound Realm?" He murmured in his heart.

"To these spirit beasts, this place is an endless paradise. But to you, this place is extremely dangerous. It is an abyss filled with countless shadows of death. This is because once the spirit beasts here sense your aura, they would all immediately unleash an endless barrage of attacks. At the same time, under my soul's guidance, spirit beasts near you would all be led in your direction. You would be hunted at all times by spirit beasts and would never be able to sleep soundly or eat in peace."

Seeing this development, he smile a little as he said "Well, I really don't care about that at all. It's better if they seek me rather than I seek them. Five hours is a long time and I am not wasting even a few seconds finding them."

The Primordial Azure Dragon's voice fell, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly turned from fresh to gloomy.

As soon as they appeared from the ray of light, The howls of innumerable spirit beasts sounded from far away. Surrounding Yun Che, the shadows of a dozen or so spirit beasts also started to move. Their aura kept Yun Che firmly fixed, and then they all rushed towards where he was.

Out of all the spirit auras these spirit beasts were releasing, none of them were below the Peak of Sky Profound Realm.

In the blink of an eye, Yun Che was already surrounded by a large number of spirit beasts. The Primordial Azure Dragon's voice said that the spirit beasts here would actively move towards Yun Che under the guidance of its aura. When they discover him, they would then commence a do or die hunt. These words were obviously not said in a lie.

Yun Che quickly drew out Zangetsu with one hand and rushed towards these spirit beasts. He decided to test the waters by swinging a sword wave towards the spirit beast. His sword wave was no joke, it merely looked like a wave but it was way stronger than Ichigo's original Getsuga Tenshou. He jumped several meters above before shooting his sword wave.

Slash!!!!

The sword wave travel all over the plains annihilating every beast on the way. As he killed each and every one of the beasts. Notifications started ringing in his ears.

[Ding…. Congratulation for killing a spirit beast. Experience +1000]

[Ding…. Congratulation for killing a spirit beast. Experience +1000]

[Ding…. Congratulation for killing a spirit beast. Experience +1000]

As expected, these beasts are spiritual beast. The experience given isn't that much.

[Ding… Spirit Beast remaining: 99,976]

[Ding… First ten minutes (Kill Count)

Yun Che: 23Hoyuu: 0

Time Remaining: 09.45

Seeing the ticking time, he said to himself. "Shit, its already starting?"

Seeing the numbers on Yun Che's kill count, Hoyuu grins and shot him with a familiar phrase. "Better get a move on. You have to pump up those numbers, king. Those are rookie numbers."

"Shut up!! I am doing it." As he jumped, he travels to the area with the largest stacking of spirit beast before initiating his next technique.

"Star Scorching Demon Lotus!!!!" Forming his flaming leg, he jumped high and landed on a group of beast before releasing massive amount of phoenix flame on them.

BOOM!!!!

In the area where he landed just now, a massive lotus of scarlet fire suddenly formed decimating any spirit beast nearby. He executed the technique using only one essence blood because the beast maybe made up of spirit particles but they still possess some kind of intelligence. As proof, none of the beast dare to approached the flaming lotus. Without wasting any time, he decided to release his favorite and common technique at all times.

"Getsuga Tenshou!!!"

Using the shikai Zangetsu, he released a massive Getsuga horizontally from the center of the lotus towards the gathering profound beasts. Then, he released another one, followed by another and another. The massive blueish energy travel all over the field annihilating every single one of the beasts. He released those Getsuga in four directions seizing chances of annihilating any demon beast dare to approach. Since the Getsuga is too large, none of the beast survive or get away from its path.

[Ding… First ten minutes (Kill Count)

Yun Che: 581Hoyuu: 0

Time Remaining: 08.25

"Looking good king, eight minutes left."

"STOP TELLING ME!!!" This time, Yun Che decided to use Hoyuu's fighting style against them. He extends Zangetsu using its straps before empowering it with his phoenix flames. By the looks of it, Zangetsu was swirling with flames as if it were a flaming sword from hell. Using its straps, he spins Zangetsu as fast as he can using its straps forming a massive fiery tornado. As he empowers it, he launched the sword towards the group of spirit beast and when the sword lands….

BOOM!!!!

BOOM!!!!

Every time he threw and extended Zangetsu's shikai towards the spirit beast, explosion occur all over and engulfing the beasts in flames. When any beast tried to approach him, he pulled back his sword and spin it again forming a massive tornado once more. The tornado easily incinerates any approaching beast coming at him.

As Zangetsu danced all over the battlefield, it brought about waves of surging phoenix fire, causing the surrounding spirit beasts to back away again and again. However, the strength of these spirit beasts far outmatched the Stone Dragon Warriors he had defeated in the first stage of the trial but they are still made from spirit particles. Every time they charge, he easily eliminated them with a single slash either from sword waves or Getsuga Tenshou. When all of them charged over, the pressure far exceeded the attack from a few hundred Stone Dragon Warriors but it wasn't enough to throw him off balance. It was making him even more excited. Also, following Yun Che's kills, the number of spirit beasts did not decrease. Rather, they quickly increased. At every moment, there were large amounts of spirit beasts rushing over from the surroundings. As he swings his sword, the trees and hills were instantly decimated turning the entire forest into complete wasteland. Not that he minded but at least those trees aren't in the way as he started rampaging around him.

[Ding… First ten minutes (Kill Count)

Yun Che: 1351Hoyuu: 0

Time Remaining: 06.15

This battle is the type of battle he always wanted to fight. Killing thousands and thousands of opponents rather than facing a single one. Now he really wished Retsu was here to join the fun but all he had was this stuck up hollow with him. Swinging his blade creating waves after waves of sword blast, he suddenly remembered something.

"I never actually used this spell's full power before. Last time it was Retsu who used it. Might as well as try it out." He jumped on one of the rocks at the same time releasing sword waves while started to chant.

Pointing his right index finger and middle finger upwards in front of his chest. He chanted "Ye lord! Mask of flesh and bone, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man!" Waves after waves of blue flames started to gather around his two fingers as he chanted. Signaling he was about to use the full power of this spell.

"Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws." Opening all of his fingers on his right hand, he pointed it towards the approaching horde of beasts. The rampaging energy on his hand started swirling producing lightning effects and compressing air around him levitating small rocks in the air.

"Let see what happen if channel a quarter of energy to this spell. Way of Destruction #33, Blue Fire Crash Down!!!!"

BOOM!!!!! The swirling energy from his palm was released into the air covering half of the realm with blinding blue light and producing a loud explosion sound at the same time. Wherever the light travels, the energy decimated anything around it. As Jasmine looked from the tower, she was quite shocked to see the massive blue fire covering half of the realm and shoot as high as the sky. She never expected the kido spell he used to destroy rocks all the time can produce this massive power. Even the Azure Dragon widen its eyes.

"This Soul Reaper. *Sigh, this dragon really has no saying after seeing his performance. He still continues to shock me even after a while. Maybe five hours was easy enough for him to accomplish."

"You're not the only one. This princess always thought that spell merely simple spell used to destroy things. Looks like he really got me this time."

The Azure Dragon widen its eyes and turned its head. "Simple spell?"

"That spell he used just now? It was merely used to destroy small rocks all the time." Jasmine said with a straight face. In fact, she too was indeed shocked.

Seeing the lights covering the half of the realm, the situation was the same when Byakuya used it on Renji as the lights he produced can be seen throughout soul society. If he used too much power, he can easily annihilate half of the realm. It was a good thing he cared for Renji back then.As for this guy, he used a quarter of his spirit force. It's a good thing he didn't use the Evil God Destructive Power along with it.

As the lights died down, a massive trench can be seen created from his spell just now. Some of the beast fell into the ravine he created. Kido arts are overpowered after all. For a mere number 33 spell,this spell can annihilate a city if he misused it. "Wow, the system wasn't lying when it said it depends on the power channel into the spell."

[Ding… First ten minutes (Kill Count)

Yun Che: 2514Hoyuu: 0

Time Remaining: 05.45

In a span of almost one minute, he managed to annihilate one thousand plus spirit beast in one go. If he didn't mute the notifications, his head would be heard by the constant ringing of notifications. Well he did used 25% of his total spirit force to that spell.

"Bastard, you're really are a cheat character, King. You're really overpowered."

"Well, I aim to please." He stood by watching the destruction he created, the Great Way of the Buddha restoring his spirit force back to full power but he needed at least seven minutes. Not that he minded as he had mana potion to supply his energy just in case he ran out.

Despite the being annihilated in a spectacular fashion, the beasts still charged at him relentlessly. Five hours is short time. Using big moves is the best option right now and he wasn't planning on letting Hoyuu win. Letting that guy takeover, him in the outside world anytime spells bad news for him. The roaring of the beasts slowly getting closer and they sure are persistent when it comes to killing him.

Slowly swinging his sword to his back, he started charging his sword with spirit force until the sword itself was glowing with power. "Let's test that move shall we?"

"Hoo, what move?" asked Hoyuu.

"The move Jasmine taught a while ago. She'll kick my ass if don't used it. By the way, didn't you learn this as well?"

"I learn what you learn, king. Show me the might of that move so I can use it against you in the future."

Charging his sword to the maximum, he suddenly yelled "Sky Wolf Slash!!!!" Suddenly, a massive blue wolf suddenly conjured behind him releasing a tyrannical aura is projected onto him as if he was the divine wolf himself. With that, he swung his sword towards the horde of beast releasing a massive wolf's head made out from his spirit force towards them. He released a massive crescent moon arc with the wolf's head in the middle. The massive wolf's head roared towards the heavens as it smashed and annihilated the spirit beast in his way. One by one, the spirit beasts let out dying roars as the energy decimated them leaving nothing but dust in the air before exploding in the distance.

Seeing her brother's move again. Jasmine slowly formed a smile as she witnesses its glory once more. The way he released it, it was practically the same as her brother. Under Yun Che's release, it became even more powerful compared to her brother. He didn't even need a Heavy Sword to do it, he just needed Zangetsu.

"Holy shit, that was powerful. Not only that, it was tyrannical." When he turned around, he saw the silhouette of the blue heavenly wolf still standing tall behind him. Seeing this wolf, he started to grin before saying "Thank you, Jasmine."

Explosions are occurring throughout the battlefield as Yun Che started shooting off either Getsuga Tenshou or Sky Wolf Slash all over the battlefield. With each slash, hundreds and thousands of beast fall underneath his sword. Sometimes, if he's too bored until….

[Ding… First ten minutes (Kill Count)

Time Remaining: 00.00

Seeing his kills, Hoyuu claps his hands. "Hooo, you start a great starting point. You really don't want me to win huh?"

"You bet your white ass I won't. You're the last person I am going to let win."

"Fine, tag me in. It's about my turn. By the way, you won't mind if I went rampage in here?"

"This realm has no exit and the only thing worthy enough is that tower. Jasmine's there so watch your step."

"Hmph, all right. You know I won't hurt her. She's the only person I make fun with."

Well, Yun Che can't deny it. Jasmine was always the one Hoyuu make fun with. "All right. Let's tag. Won't want you keep nagging at me for being unfair." Yun Che teleported to the sky and allow the rest of the flying beast to chase him. With him over there, the flying beasts were relentless and chased him all over despite he knew how to fly. Avoiding the beasts' attacks, he deployed his Second Evil God Art to block any incoming attacks.

"All right. Take over man. Show me what you got."

[Ding… Host's Hollowed spirit wishes to take-over. The take-over limit had been increase to 10 minutes every hour for five hours. Valid only for today.]

Yun Che pressed the button on his console and his mind was disconnected from his body. Whatever happens now, it all comes to Hoyuu.

[Initiating take-over]

As the beast attacking the barrier relentlessly, Yun Che's composure was slowly changing. Suddenly white particles started to cover his face forming a half mask on it. The mask was incomplete but it is enough to unleashed a greater terror that will descend onto this artificial realm. His mouth slowly forming a creepy grin and his eyes slowly transforming into yellow with black pupils.

The relentless attacks shattered the barrier as its hull integrity unable to withstand the attacks of multiple beast at once. However, what greeted the beast wasn't a man with a calm face. It was…

"Yo, its about time you let me out king." A hollowfied voice suddenly sounded from his mouth.

Massive black and red energy suddenly formed and decimate the surrounding beast in a bizarre fashion. The process was short but it was enough to reduce those poor spirit beasts to dust leaving only the man with half mask covering his face.

Jasmine shift her eyes towards the swirling red and black energy around the man and concluded "Chee, looks like you won't miss this trial huh?"

The Azure Dragon however had a different expression. The Soul Reaper was emitting the same energy when he used that mask but this time, the energy was different as it was tyrannical and sinister. The same energy like the devils but this one is far more powerful than them.

Jasmine widen her eyes as she saw a massive red demonic wolf standing behind the him with black eyes staring at them. The beasts were spirits so they can't even feel fear so regardless what he do to intimidate them, they still attacked him none the less. The tyrannical figure simply waved his sword and decimated the surrounding beast instantly using the same slash she taught to Yun Che just now. He was right, when he used it. It was powerful however when its in the hands of a true demon, it was really powerful.

"HAHAHAHA…. IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I HAD FUN IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD!!!" The figure roared towards the sky while emitting the aura of a powerful hollow. Emerged from the barrier, Yun Che remain as he was before but currently it wasn't him that control the body. It was his Zanpakuto spirit, Hoyuu. Emerged with his half hollowfied mask, Hoyuu released the aura comparable to a devil. Under his influence, Yun Che's tyrannical blue Heavenly Wolf behind him transformed into a red mixed with black Heavenly Wolf. A hollowfied version of the original.

Looking at the beasts approaching him. He suddenly sounded with his hollow's voice and the wolf behind him roared as well. "Well now, how should I destroy you pathetic insects?"
