Chapter 76: CH 69: BEAUTIFUL COINCIDENCES

After the weird misunderstanding Byakuya had on him, the discussion flowed far more smoothly and they debated on most of the details. 

Of course, Gojo was no specialist, so it would take time to truly study everything and create a viable plan, but this wasn't something that concerned him. 

What's more, Gojo had proposed that they begin a test with members of the Gotei 13 who had basically no fighting potential as a test. 

For example, those who had written that BL idea. Even though Byakuya had been quite reticent, Gojo insisted. 

As always, messing with someone as straight-laced as Byakuya was quite fun. 

The reason Gojo wished for the initial plan to concern the Gotei 13 was for the simple reason that if it affected the whole Seireitei, then they would need the permission of the Central 46, and Gojo could already imagine the result. 

Politics in his old world were slow, and that was despite the fact that the politicians didn't live hundreds of years. 

Because of their large lifespans, the politics in the Seireitei was a monstrous pain in the ass. 

A bunch of hundreds of years old traditionalist bastards who refused to see any changes. 

The only difference between them and the old bastards in his world was that those bastards were far older. 

Back when he was still alive, after killing Suguru with his own hands, Gojo began fighting for a better future for the next generation. 

Of course, he could have simply killed all the higher-ups and be done with it, but this would not have helped in accomplishing his goal. 

Though it would have made him very happy. 

He did not wish to become a dictator. Rather, he wished for a truly fundamental change and this was why he had begun developing a new generation of sorcerers with a totally different mindset. 

Thankfully, he was pretty sure that even though he died, with Yuta, Yuji, and Megumi as the helm of the new generation, his endeavor did not go to waste.

Now that he was dead though, he would simply live for himself as he did before killing his friend. As such, he had no qualms about resorting to violence should the Central 46 ever try to provoke him.

"As long as they don't mess with me, I won't mess with them."

"Pardon?" 

"Haha! Sorry, I was just talking to myself."

Currently, Gojo was walking in the West Rukongai with Nemu following one step behind him. 

Once he had finished discussing with Byakuya, Gojo simply stood up and left. 

He could develop his relationship with Byakuya later and become closer to him. 

From the start, getting the archives from the Kuchiki family had only been a secondary goal. 

But obtaining Byakuya's support had been quite unexpected. 

There were three ways to become captain in the Seireitei. 

The first one was the proficiency test. Basically, the one wishing to become captain had to show his Bankai under the witness of the captain commander and two other captains. 

The second one was to have the recommendation of at least six captains, then the approval of at least 3 of the remaining seven. 

The final one was to defeat the captain in one vs one combat under the witness of at least 200 members of the division. Death was not necessary in principle. 

Even though Gojo had more or less reached Bankai and would perfect his mastery of it by the end of the remaining five years, he was extremely reluctant about showing it. 

After all, it was quite dangerous. Gojo had been rather shocked by what he could do in theory and did not even dare to activate it near the Seireitei. 

That was why he had initially decided that he would let Gin become captain, then he would propose a duel and defeat him openly. 

Quite insidious. But who cared? 

But, now that he thought about it, using the 2nd way would be far more helpful. 

He had the support of Unohana, and now the same went for Byakuya. He knew that Zaraki and Shunsui would support him should he ask. The same went for Soi Fon and he could use the debt Ukitake owed him.

Unknowingly, he had already fulfilled the first step and gathered the six necessary recommendations in the bag. 

As for the remaining 3 votes. He was sure that he could get Mayuri's vote with some little convincing. 

This left Yamamoto, the current captain of the 3rd division, Sosuke Aizen, the blind bastard, the hidden face bastard, and the captain of the 10th division–Isshin Shiba. 

What was beautiful was that his little bro, Toshiro Hitsugaya, was in the 1st division, and not only was he friends with Rangiku, he also saved Miyako Shiba from nearly certain death. 

'What beautiful coincidences.'

It was as if all the steps were placed for him to become captain without exerting the slightest energy. 

Since he was in a jovial mood, he decided to discuss a little with Nemu,

"So, how was your day with Rukia?" 

"It was enjoyable."

The nearly emotionless way she answered would have made it seem like she was lying, but Gojo's eyes could catch the subtle change of expression on her face. 

It seemed that she still had problems expressing her feelings, but from her circumstances, it was pretty normal.

“Did you make any friends?”

"Friends? If by friend you mean a close confidante to whom I can share my worries and have a good time with — I did not."

"I see." 

Dealing with her wouldn't be easy. Dealing with anyone who suffered from abuse for as long they could remember was never easy. 

Back then, taking care of Megumi had been quite a pain. Even more so since he had only been a high school student himself. He had to threaten the Zen'in clan and bargain with the higher-ups. It didn’t help that Megumi himself wasn’t really cute.

He was pretty sure that Nemu had it way worse than Megumi. Her heart was already nearly closed. 

Normally, he wouldn't care about her. But since he kind of kidnapped her, he had her live in his hideout for three days, and kind of got attached. 

The fact that she was technically something, or rather someone that should not exist also kinda piqued his interests, not to mention — she had quite the sexy body that appealed to him plenty. 

Gojo’s power over spiritual matters meant that he could recreate an entire body as long as he had enough understanding about the constitution of said body. 

Until now, all he could create were shell bodies. His understanding of anatomy and biology were too lacking to allow him to recreate entire bodies out of just Reishi. 

One of the reasons he was quite intrigued with Nemu was the existence of her soul more than her body. 

If Gojo could recreate souls, then as long as he mastered the creation of the body, he could truly call himself a god of life.

At the very least, he knew that as long as he furthered his mastery over his Shikai, he would be near-omnipotent in the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo. 

“So, what do you think of becoming my friend?”

Turning around, he smiled at the sight of the stunned expression on Nemu’s face. 

Then, ruffling her hair, “Well, take your time to think about it.”

Nemu was left to her own thoughts as she watched the back of Gojo.

Like this, the two continued to walk in silence until they finally reached their destination.

Once they did, the two of them opened their eyes wide at the sight of the house in front of them. 

Gojo tilted his head and caressed his chin, “Well, the architect of this house has quite the peculiar taste.”

What’s more, not only could he feel Rangiku's Reiatsu, he could also feel two other deep and heavy ones. Clearly belonging to Ukitake and Isshin. 

It seemed that this day promised to be quite interesting.

(AN: Yhwach is near-omniscient while Gojo is gunning for near omnipotence. Though the road is still far. Haha. After this, it will be the start of an interesting arc.)
