"I don't need a cage anymore" "Have you come to understand that you have no chances of winning?" "What?" "!" "underling?" "D-Damn you!" "Could it be that you didn't notice that I swapped places with my impostor... quite some time ago?" "Inaba. but it seems you didn't realize you were trying to bite a tiger." "how long could you have..." "How long?" "What preposterous questions you ask." "Ever since the vice-captains of your invading army appeared in the Human World." "I'm afraid to say that your mediocre servants failed to fully comprehend my power. the people charged with recapturing Soul Society failed miserably in their attempt." "I was forced to wait this long to reveal my true identity." "How magnificent." "Captain Kurotsuchi." "However... you are all still in the power of my technique." "How deeply fascinating." "The depths of anger to which you've managed to drive me are another thing you shouldn't... forget." "Who's there?" "!" "Huh?" "Kurosaki-kun..." "You guys... does that mean I'm in the Human World?" "you are." "Kurosaki-san." "Urahara-san..." "Nozomi..." "Weren't you supposed to defeat Kagerouza?" "Huh?" "Weren't you supposed to get it done quickly and come back to us?" "Sorry..." "I told you to come back safely... at any rate." "Renji..." "Were you the one who saved me from the Capturing Ram?" "Huh?" "I just found you collapsed in the Severed World and brought you back here." "Then who was that Shinigami?" "it seems you really were engulfed by the Capturing Ram." "Urahara-san?" "sort of." "how about some tea?" "Inaba." "I never imagined you to be the type that would sacrifice his body so easily." "Did you believe that you could restrain me with such feeble attacks?" "Don't push your luck." "That technique was only meant to buy time." "I see... that must be Ashisogi Jizou." "Ashisogi Jizō 疋殺地蔵:" "Leg-Cutting Jizō" "Yet I believe I have already spoken of this." "All of this is within the bounds of my technique." "my..." "Ashisogi Jizou paralyzes the four limbs of whatever it cuts." "you should already be unable to move." "But it seems you have a flawless countermeasure you want to boast about." "Then shall we give it a try?" "I will very kindly close my eyes for a while." "feel free to counterattack any way you like." "what's wrong?" "Captain Kurotsuchi." "then you..." "You... you..." "Something wrong?" "so why?" "!" "This is why." "What?" "!" "I took the opportunity to inject you with this drug." "This is a medicine which suspends the thinking process." "Suspends... thinking?" "! you would have instinctively defended yourself." "But you stopped to think." "the right way to respond..." "You mean you blocked those thoughts?" "!" "Inaba... do you know what a scientist fears most?" "It is memory loss." "which we then develop and allow to mature over time." "something that can never be traded away." "you will completely lose the ability to think." "you will forget how to use all of the knowledge you have accumulated up till now." "Those who find themselves far from the fixed sections of the Severed World ultimately doomed to be engulfed by the Capturing Ram or the Capturing Flow... and meet their death." "Everyone knows that much." "much as Kurotsuchi-san did." "But it should not be possible to be saved after being engulfed by the Capturing Ram the way Kurosaki-san was." "Then was I" "I have no idea." "Huh?" "what happened to you is completely unprecedented. but I wouldn't expect any quick answers." "Some big help you are." "However..." "I have discovered the reason for Kagerouza's obsession with the Severed World." "His reason?" "Indeed. but that is not his true goal." "What do you mean?" "he is studying the Severed World for a separate reason." "He seeks... to obtain a certain piece of information concealed within it." "Come on now." "What are you doing?" "Finish him already!" "sir!" "but to stop my thoughts..." "I shall admit I am powerless." "or your body will..." "What about my body?" "!" "It is clearly losing strength." "What the?" "!" "I'm sorry for being so weak! the feeling of anger overrides the effect?" "This is quite a surprise." "Hmm?" "What now?" "A soul pill?" "that is no soul pill." "Mod souls?" "Precisely." "Kagerouza's motive for research on the Severed World is to retrieve information on mod souls which is concealed within." "What's a mod soul?" "I know!" "I know!" "I know!" "I know!" "1954)}Allow me to explain." "something called Project Spearhead took place in Soul Society." "Humans who lost their souls at death were to be injected with artificial souls specially designed for combat and those souls would be used as an anti-Hollow vanguard." "Haven't seen those crappy drawings in a while." "Crappy what?" "just let it go." "Art school reject." "no" "The project's proposal was quickly rejected." "That is how the development of the mod souls came to pass." "Kon is a mod soul that survived." "Have you lost the power of speech?" "And I was going to ask you how you obtained the technology to create mod souls." "Kurotsuchi Mayuri." "I was a being on a different level to all of you from the start." "What is it this time? this is but one application of mod soul technology." "Are you taken aback?" "you have forced the mod soul you swallowed to take the effect of my medicine?" "but enough for this." "Wait!" "But how did you know that mod soul data was hidden in the Severed World?" "By chance." "I sensed something strange about some of the spirit particles that had vaguely attached themselves to him." "and fragments of ancient mod soul development data emerged." "Kagerouza must have used such data to create his captain-class mod souls." "It's true." "Nozomi..." "How did you learn there was mod soul data concealed in the Severed World?" "You may as well cough up the confession." "We're going to find out everything in a little while anyway." "Who are you really?" "Nozomi-chan?" "Kujou-san?" "Very well." "I shall tell you." "He is..." "I am... the creator of the mod souls." "The creator?" "Enough of your fantasies." "They are no fantasies!" "What?" "! would be destroyed." "The mod souls I aimed for... as well as possessing superior abilities." "Do you even understand?" "I was truly treading in God's domain!" "But it was judged dangerous." "Project Spearhead was canceled because the very notion of using the dead as weapons of war was vetoed as immoral." "officially." "But the truth lay elsewhere." "The ability to freely wield the power of mod souls was judged to be a threat." "Yes." "They were afraid." "They feared my research." "I could not forgive their imbecility." "I transformed my exhaustive research of the matter and cast it deep into the Severed World." "he extracted the data from the Capturing Ram." "So that's what happened." "That's how it is?" "You mean we mod souls were created by that bastard?" "!" "Kon..." "I see why you can't trust me if that's true." "that's not true!" "Then what is?" "!" "You never told me any of this until now!" "stop it!" "I guess all I was to you in the end was another one of Kagerouza's creations!" "Kagerouza wasn't the one who created you." "How do you know?" "Well..." "What does a scientist fear most?" "You claimed that it was memory loss." "I concur." "I can't bear to fathom the possibility that my creations could be forgotten and buried in the abyss of time." "Is that why you decided to revive Project Spearhead?" "and I will rule Soul Society by means of my invading army!" "What is this reiatsu?" "!" "I have merely been restricting the reigai's power until now!" "bear witness to their true strength!" "Furthermore..." "You revived them?" "!" "Hmph." "They are mod souls." "he can insert them into countless backup reigai." "Countless?" "Surely you jest." "Not even you could create that many reigai capable of withstanding so much reiatsu." "Kyouraku!" "We really stepped in it this time." "This just keeps getting more interesting!" "Yoruichi-sama!" "I know." "Huh?" "Soi Fon!" "Do not imagine that you have any hope of winning with your body as it is." "Well..." "The very first mod soul." "That's who I am." "218)\frz14.009}This is 75)}Project Spearhead!"
