The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)
Chapter 431 - Two Peas Of Same Pod...

[Knox, Karakura Town]

"Your house is really unique… I don't have houses like this back in Soul Society" Unohana said while looking at Knox. Reo decided to give her the scenic route as this was the first time she came here… but it won't be the last.

"That's our backward…" Reo said, pointing towards the small forest they had in their backyard. Unohana gave him a curious look as she noticed the forest.

"Is there a reason why you have a forest behind your house?" Unohana raised eyebrows and gave Reo a questioning look.

"Luna's pets live there, and Ororo likes to spend her time surrounded by nature" Reo said and she nodded her head in understanding.

"I can sense four Spiritual Pressures inside the house. They are your lovers, right?" Unohana asked when the two of them finally arrived in front of the entrance.

"Yes.. let's go in" Reo said as he led Unohana inside the house. Unohana kept looking around curiously as everything was something new for her.

"Husband, you are back! ...I see, you brought a guest. Is she going to be our new sister?" Hela asked as soon as she noticed the two of them entering the living room.

"Hopefully" Reo answered with a grin, this comment made a small blush appear on Unohana's face.

Like always Hela was watching something gruesome on the TV. 'Sometimes I wonder if it was the right thing for me to teach her how to download unedited movies from torrents' Reo thought inside his mind.

Reo also noticed that Unohana had tensed as soon as her eyes landed on Hela. 'She must be Hela, I know those eyes. She is just like me but unlike me, she isn't shy of true nature' Unohana thought as she kept watching Hela.

Hela was also doing the same… she saw scanning the new woman from her head to toe. 'She is just like me but she likes to hide behind a mask… a true wolf in a sheep's clothing' Hela mused and a vicious grin appeared on her face.

While this was going on Reo was simply standing aside with an amused look on his face. It was pretty clear that the two women were measuring each other.

"You are quite interesting… What's your name?" Hela asked as she got up from the couch and approached Unohana.

Unohana was just 5'2½" inches tall whereas Hela was 6'9" tall without her heels… currently, she was wearing her heels so she was 7'5" tall. That was quite a significant difference and Hela looked quite imposing especially with her vicious grin.

"Yachiru Unohana and you must be Hela, right? I have heard about you from him" Unohana said in a kind and gentle tone. Hela's grin widened after hearing Unohana's words.

"You are just like me… I can sense your bloodlust, it's well hidden… a true wolf in sheep's clothes, aren't you? At first, I thought your mask was very good but now… I know you aren't using a mask" Hela said with a grin and leaned down and Unohana simply smiled and tilted her head.

"Yes, this is my personality too…" Unohana trailed off and Hela's eyes narrowed on Unohana's Zanpakutou.

"I see, you also use a sword to slaughter" Hela said as she took a step back.

"I presume you also use swords, would you mind crossing swords with me?" Unohana asked in a kind tone. Hela cackled madly after hearing Unohana's words.

"I already like you… what better way to get to know each other… let's get bloody" Hela said with a smirk and this is when Reo decided to intervene.

"Do you really need to do this?" Reo asked and both of them nodded their heads in an instant.

"We will be bonding like sisters!" Hela exclaimed excitedly though Reo wasn't sure as Unohana wasn't strong like Hela, but he still agreed. He could always intervene if needed.

"Fine… have fun, I guess" Reo commented as both of them loved killing and fighting so they must be having fun.

Reo waved his hand and the three of them appeared on a desolate planet. "Thank you, Husband! Now we don't need to hold back" Hela said with a grin as she started to release her bloodlust and Spiritual Pressure.

Unohana's eyes grew wide when she sensed Hela's bloodlust and Spiritual Pressure. 'I knew she was strong but her bloodlust is so potent… even Yamamoto will be a joke in front of her' Unohana thought as placed her hand on her Zanpakutou's hilt.

'That doesn't mean that I will back away from a fight… let's spill some blood' Unohana thought as she started to undo her braid with her free hand. But all of a sudden she froze and her eyes landed on Reo.

"I hope that you don't change your mind" Unohana said softly as she slowly revealed her scar to Reo, with a flick she undid her braid but her eyes were still on Reo.

"Don't worry Yachiru… that ugly mark isn't going to make you any less beautiful… you are still a very beautiful woman" Reo said with a smile.

Unohana didn't know how to react… so simply decided to blush and avert her eyes. No one had complimented her in such a manner and she knew that no one would call her beautiful after seeing her scar.

Hela pulled out her Zanpakutou… Her Crucible is a one-shot kill whereas True Sword would be too much for a casual blood spilling. "Reign Supreme, Heiwa" Hela called out as she activated her Shikai.

Unohana slowly pulled out her Zanpakutou from the sheath. She opened the string knots and dropped the sheath. Then her eyes focused on the form of Hela.

"Don't worry, I don't plan on holding back or I might die…" Unohana said and her whole visage started to transform.

Her kind and gentle eyes turned gloomy and menacing while her kind and gentle smile were replaced with a cruel and vicious smirk.

She also started to release her bloodlust and Spiritual Pressure… Her bloodlust was immense but way weaker than Hela's.

In a fight between Shinigamis, their Spiritual Forces collide, if one of them is way weaker than the other one then the stronger one will push back the weaker one and the one with the weaker Spiritual Force won't be able to hurt the one with the stronger Spiritual Force.

That was the case here… Unohana's Spiritual Force was strong but it wasn't anywhere close to Hela's Spiritual Force. But there is a way to avoid such a situation. You must mold your Spiritual Force to form a blade, for someone like Unohana, it was an easy thing to do.

Hela saw that and started to cackle. "That's it! We are going to have a lot of fun!" Hela exclaimed with stars in her eyes.

"Bankai: Minazuki" Unohana called out in a menacing tone as her Spiritual Pressure multiplied by several times. Reo was slightly surprised when he noticed the boost.

Unohana's Zanpakutou started to liquefy into a thick, viscous, dark red substance. It started to flow over in her vicinity. After a few moments, the majority of the liquid was gone, leaving behind a shortened katana.

'Normally, a Bankai multiplies your Shikai's power from 5 to 10 times… but Unohana's power was multiplied by more than 50 times… the fuck?' Reo screamed inside his mind. Now Unohana's Spiritual Pressure was way more than Hela's.

Unohana didn't wait anymore and rushed at Hela using Flash Step. Hela didn't bother to use Flash Step and used her normal speed. That was more than enough for Hela to match Unohana's speed as their blades clashed.

A liquid shot out from Unohana's blade and landed on Hela's free arm. With a huss, Hela's arm started to melt off… Hela didn't even flinch when her arm was melting off and she simply grinned as her healing kicked in.

"That's quite a strong acid" Hela said as she pulled back her Zanpakutou and thrust it towards Unohana several times.

Unohana nimbly dodged all of them and threw a knife at Hela from her sleeve. "You heal really fast" Unohana commented hoarsely, as once again she attacked Hela.

This time the acid landed on Hela's Zanpakutou, melting it. Hela stared at her Zanpakutou and threw it inside her shadow. "You are good" Hela said as her True Sword appeared in her hand.

Once again Hela attacked Unohana as they kept attacking each other. Neither of them had any injuries, as Hela had her healing factor and Unohana was using her Kaido to heal herself when she was injured.

"So, what type of sword is that?" Unohana asked as she shrugged off her Captain's Haori. It could no longer be called a Haori, it was simply white rags.

"I will tell you if tell me your Bankai's power" Hela said Unohana cackled after hearing Hela's words.

"That isn't a fair deal but I will tell you as a sign of good faith… you two are going to be the first ones to know my Bankai's true power" Unohana said and her form relaxed.

"Everyone who has seen my Bankai thinks that my Bankai only produces a strong acid. But that isn't true… My Bankai absorbs the power of anyone I kill, with each kill my Bankai's strength increases… that is the true power of my Bankai" Unohana revealed in a cold tone.

'Oh… so, that is why she received such a massive boost after releasing her Bankai… her Bankai is a growth type Bankai… that's truly an appropriate weapon for a person who loves to kill' Reo mused.

"Impressive…!! This is my True Sword, this Sword represents the power of Death I have" Hela explained and Unohana gave a subtle nod.

"Let's continue" Unohana said and Hela nodded her head as the two of them lunged towards each other…
