But Ichigo Kurosaki couldn't say for sure which possibility would become a reality. From this point of view, Ichigo Kurosaki's accuracy in peeking into future possibilities was at most slightly better than that of ordinary people.
Therefore, Ichigo Kurosaki was very surprised to find that the future possibilities he observed actually came alive under the power of God and were able to have a conversation with him across time and space.
The blood-red giant that existed in the possible future was fighting passionately with the other two giants, and he took the time to say:
"It's actually not a big deal. The timeline of this world is more chaotic and fragmented than you think. The future and the past are confused with each other. Otherwise, it would be impossible to celebrate dozens of Christmases in one day. Similarly, although I exist in the distant future, as long as I exist and become a part of this broken timeline, it is possible for me to walk between the past and the present..."
"For example, you can think of this world as a comic that doesn't follow a chronological order. In one episode, the protagonist is communicating with someone, and in the next episode, the protagonist is reminiscing about someone's parents who are not married yet, and that person wasn't born yet at that time. It seems like the storyboards are different, with the present episode and the reminiscence episode, but in fact, there is no difference or division in time between these two episodes. Instead, they are connected and continued at a more macro level. The future is born earlier than the past, and there is a cause for every effect..."
"So, if this world wants to time travel, isn't it very simple? Then God, wait for me, I will go to the future to beat you up, oh no, I want to chat with you!"
The example given by the Blood Giant made Ichigo Kurosaki, who had read the comics, understand instantly. Then, his purity turned into a smile and began to stir on his face.
It's amazing that this world is so wonderful.
Instead of passively waiting for the future to arrive, it would be better to travel directly to the grand finale of the future and fight to the peak with the peerless powerful beings who only appear at the end of each plot. Wouldn’t that be wonderful!
"Ichigo, you rebellious son, take away that animal-like smile on your face. Don't forget that you are still standing on my palm. Believe it or not, I will take my hand away and let you swim back to the world of the God of Death in the Silver Sea..."
Speaking of this, Ichigo Kurosaki felt a little helpless.
When the Hand of God carried him across the Silver Sea from the Death World Bubble to the Conan World Bubble, Ichigo Kurosaki discovered something very embarrassing.
God's power can enter and exit the world unhindered, and the world has no reaction at all, but it is not the same for him. He wants to go in, but the world rejects him, and even has a strong rejection reaction.
The double standard is quite serious. Of course, this may also be due to the huge difference in painting styles between the two sides.
Although Ichigo Kurosaki is confident that he can break the world's barrier by beating the world and blast in openly, if he does so, the world's reaction to the invasion will be difficult to predict, and it will also hinder God's plan to refine this world into the Ark's defense deck.
Therefore, Ichigo Kurosaki finally chose a flexible approach, and obtained permission to enter the world through the "invitation" of the protagonist Conan. Although in the end, this permission was only "one arm", it also made Ichigo Kurosaki feel that this world is really stingy.
But no matter what, Ichigo Kurosaki is still outside the world, floating in the Silver Sea with the protection of God!
Thinking of this, Ichigo Kurosaki could only shrug his shoulders and put away the artistic smile on his face.
But at this moment, the blood giant that existed in the possible future continued:
"Even if you want to come over, it's not that easy. This future possibility can only be born because Conan, that guy, unconsciously began to interfere with fate. To put it simply, he has a plan, so the plot called "Future Chapter" was born according to his plan. Then, as a character in the Future Chapter, I had a conversation with you in the Past Chapter. Now, you have not really become a part of Conan's plan, nor have you become an official character in the "Future Chapter". You want to come over and beat me up, but it's not that easy..."
When Ichigo Kurosaki heard this, he was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that under his attention and restraint, Conan's protagonist power actually took effect silently.
"Ichigo, instead of wanting to beat up this old father of mine all day, you should pay more attention to Conan. You have completely mastered your position as the protagonist, and even developed further on this basis. That's why you think you can suppress Conan. But I want to tell you that in terms of protagonist level, Conan is actually above you, he just hasn't fully awakened yet. If you are careless, you will lose miserably. For example, under the interference of fate, Conan may be suffocated to death in an alley by the citizens of Beika Town with a plastic bag. You don't want the leader of an alien invasion army to die in such a ridiculous way, do you..."
Conan's plan can interfere with fate, and the implementation of fate is the driving force of this world!
If Conan really had this plan, any number of ways Kurosaki Ichigo could have died are possible.
However, Kurosaki Ichigo didn't care too much about the difference in the status of the protagonists. Instead, he stroked his chin and muttered:
"It doesn't matter if Conan is stronger than me, but to be honest, if his protagonist power can really make an ordinary citizen suffocate me to death with a plastic bag in an alley, I will feel that this death is really worth it. I can actually experience such an outrageous and amazing life!"
"Okay, no more nonsense. For now, you should have gradually understood what this world is all about. Now, Conan has gradually come up with a big plan. Although he is still in the process of formulating it, I am in the future and can see the plan that is still brewing in his mind clearly. After all, the Demon of Light who is fighting me endlessly is a chatterbox. He has said everything that should and should not be said. In a word, Conan has begun to try to travel back to the past and change everything that has happened because of him from the source..."
Ichigo Kurosaki raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that after hearing all the information about traveling to the future from God, he would also hear Conan's plan to travel to the past. He then asked, "Traveling back to the past and changing everything that happened because of himself, he is worthy of being a protagonist who is above me. He has ideas and courage. Why didn't I think of beating the timeline, going back to the past to replace the Soul King, and reordering everything with my own hands? But, can he do it?"
What Ichigo Kurosaki said about whether it can be done or not does not refer to whether Conan has the ability to travel through time and space to return to the past. After all, the essence of the protagonist's power lies in turning the impossible into the possible, but rather, is it useful to do so?
The timeline of this world is in chaos and fragmentation to this point. The present chapter and the future chapter coexist, and are nothing more than the front and back chapters of a page of comics. But now, what problem can adding a "past chapter" solve?
"In my opinion, this plan cannot solve the fundamental problem, but it should be no problem to improve it. Moreover, Conan's idea has also led to some changes that I have not expected. In your opinion, this world may be divided into three parts in the future, becoming the world of Detective Conan, the world of the criminal Moriarty, and the world of the Sword Hero and the Dragon Ball. But that is just because your observation is not detailed enough. In my opinion, this world will split into more possibilities in the future. I saw Lupin the Third and Kaito Kidd fighting at the top of Tokyo Tower. That is a world where thieves are respected. In addition, the world centered on the stories of lawyers or police is looming..."
"Whether Conan's plan will succeed or not is not the point, but if he really abdicates, then the world cannot be without a master for a day, and all the supporting roles will rise up together to compete for the only supreme position, and let their own stories and painting styles become the mainstream of the world. This is division, derivation, destruction, and evolution. No one can make a conclusion on the outcome, because these possibilities have not yet been finalized. In theory, Conan's plan is like an axe. If it is chopped well, we may be able to witness the evolution of Conan's world into Conan's universe. If it is not chopped well, the future will be lively..."
Ichigo Kurosaki listened carefully. He came to this world not only to see the strong people from another world, but also to immigrate to the world of death. Naturally, he was very concerned about the changes in the world of this level. After a long time, Ichigo Kurosaki said:
"It sounds like good news!"
This is indeed good news for Ichigo Kurosaki, because he no longer needs to think about how to have the best of both worlds. If he inherits Conan's position after he abdicates, then everything will be a natural progression.
Then Ichigo Kurosaki unconsciously thought of the possible future, the world called Sword Hero Nine Dragon Balls, in which aliens and gods and demons were flying all over the sky, and then Ichigo Kurosaki seemed to realize something.
That is the reflection of the immigration process of the world of Bleach in the future. The real protagonist, Ichigo Kurosaki, will find a kendo enthusiast, preferably a young and naive one who won't think too much, and then throw a modified Zanpakutō to him, and then give him the status of a "temporary protagonist", and create a story and destiny to push him forward.
Then, the creatures from the world of death came over one by one, and in the slightly abrupt identities of aliens, gods and demons, they fought with the "temporary protagonist", performed a play, gained the "recognition" of the world, and then naturally integrated into and immigrated to this world.
Although the details have not been perfected yet, Ichigo Kurosaki already understands the general process.
"I haven't put too many restrictions on your script. If this is the way you think it's feasible, then go ahead and do it. As Moriarty, I also have my own part to play. If there's a need to do a scene, you, the rebellious son, should hold back. Absolute domain 100% is the limit, and ultimate power is absolutely forbidden. I don't want to use a leaky world as a deck..."
After saying this, the blood-red giant that existed in the possible future didn't say much. He waved his hand, blocking Ichigo Kurosaki's observation, thus ending the conversation!
Ichigo Kurosaki curled his lips. He knew why the blood-red giant insisted on blocking his observation.
To God, who once dominated the world as the Fighting Soul King, the Giant of Light and the Demon of Light that exist in possible futures, although not real, are very exciting to fight against. God really wants An Jing to enjoy this fun alone and does not want that beast like Kurosaki Ichigo to interfere.
But that’s okay. One day, Kurosaki Ichigo will beat everything with his own hands. Before that, just be patient.
Afterwards, Ichigo Kurosaki's gaze fell on Conan again.
At this time, Conan's long thinking seemed to have come to an end. No one knew what conclusion he had come up with. They only saw the fatigue, vicissitudes, pain, and even despair on his face, which were already quite strong.
Conan stood up. Although his expression was full of negative emotions, his eyes were as rational as an iceberg, filled with unshakable determination.
At this time, Ichigo Kurosaki controlled his spherical body and jumped over:
"Have you thought about it and made a plan? Next, should we find a time machine and go back to the past to change everything? Let's go. I'll go back to the past with you!"
Conan turned to look at Ichigo Kurosaki, his expression shocked and confused!
He was still formulating a plan in his mind, but it seemed like Ichigo Kurosaki knew it better than he did.
174. Common sense that detectives always find clues around them (fate)
Conan came back to his senses and couldn't help asking:
"Can you read my mind and know what I'm thinking?"
At this moment, Conan felt inexplicably helpless. Thinking back to the previous world line, Conan had always believed that this world was scientific and was unwilling to believe anything unscientific. Now, facing things that he could not understand, his first reaction was to turn to supernatural means.
Ichigo Kurosaki's spherical body shrugged in an anthropomorphic manner: "I just took the time to talk to God, and He gave me some revelations about you, saying that you plan to travel back in time to change everything."
Sincerity is the most powerful killer move. Ichigo Kurosaki's words silenced Conan.
Even if it is a supernatural means, God sending down revelations and directly spoiling the future, isn’t it a bit too outrageous!
Conan couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, aren't you an alien? What is your God?"
Ichigo Kurosaki smiled and said, "I am indeed an alien, but the God of our place and the God of your place should be the same being. Even their names are similar. They are both omniscient and omnipotent gods."
In the neon of this world, and even in the whole world, the glory of God is still prominent. Hearing Kurosaki Ichigo say that the God he was talking about was actually the God of his own world, Conan couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and then asked: "So, does God really exist? But why..."
Ichigo Kurosaki said, "I know what you want to ask. It's nothing more than God's existence. Why is the world still so chaotic and sinful? In fact, after knowing the existence of God, our world also had similar doubts. After all, according to the world's concept, since there is an omniscient and omnipotent Lord, the world should become better. Even if it doesn't get better, it shouldn't become increasingly corrupt. In the end, God gave us an answer..."
What Kurosaki Ichigo said was not false. In fact, when the Soul Kings who ruled the world came back after their audience with God, news about this spread in a small range in each world bubble. The most significant change was that the Yhwachs in each world bubble issued declarations one after another, saying that the Lord worshipped by Christianity and related beliefs in the world had nothing to do with the Quincy clan, but that the Quincy clan was fortunate enough to be inspired by the glory of God and left some traces of Him in the world.
In the world of Death, the Quincy clan, or rather, Yhwach, the resurrected Quincy King, is the source of the modern cross faith. But now, even if Yhwach is beaten to death, he would not dare to admit this!
Ichigo Kurosaki really wants to have another fight with the Fighting Soul King, but Yhwach is not willing to see his crazy old father again, who can destroy the three realms at will and is ruthless with his iron fists no matter who he meets.
However, now that they know the real existence of God, many people in various worlds naturally have more expectations and doubts about the Shangshang Emperor.
If God really exists, why has the world become like this!
In fact, this is an old question. Many people in many worlds have asked this question. It is also the same in Conan's world, so Conan couldn't help asking:
“What did God say?”
"God stretched out his fist and hit us hard, telling us not to ask such boring questions. If you have any opinions about the world, use your fists and will to hit the world and create everything you want. If you have any opinions about Him, you can ascend to the highest place, kick open the door of heaven, and rush in directly. He has already set up the ultimate spirit particle blasting fist posture, waiting for you 24 hours a day in the deepest part of heaven..."
Conan was speechless and a little bewildered when he heard this. At this moment, the stereotype in his mind that God might be a gentle old man with a white beard was unconsciously completely shattered.
According to Ichigo Kurosaki's words, Conan unconsciously imagined a big God wearing a white robe, with strong muscles, holy light as noisy as purgatory, and fierce fighting spirit. He went to hell to beat Satan dozens of times every day to relieve his boredom. He grabbed the neck of his believer and shouted, "Do you have any objections to me? If so, hit me in the chest, harder, didn't you eat?"
Conan shook his head, getting rid of this absurd impression from his mind:
"Okay, this God you mentioned is really powerful. So, since God has told you my plan, does He have any opinions or suggestions on my plan? Or, can I seek His help and salvation?"
Conan's words contained a hint of hope that he himself was not aware of. It was obvious that even someone as rational as him would waver on certain issues.
Ichigo Kurosaki smiled and said, "He has many opinions, but in the final analysis, it comes down to one sentence. He always expects "people" to open up their own way forward, and then when all causes and effects converge, He will naturally descend to the mortal world to do what He should do. This was the case in our world before, and it is still the case now. So, at this stage, you don't have to consider His existence, just do what you want to do!"
Ichigo Kurosaki did not tell Conan that Moriarty was the incarnation of God, because to Conan, it made no sense whether he knew it or not!
Conan was silent for a while, and finally heaved a long sigh. The subtle hesitation disappeared instantly, leaving only iron-like determination:
"That's good. This way I don't have to worry about God coming to this world and sending me, a sinner, to hell the first time. Then, I will have enough time to solve the problems caused by me..."
Ichigo Kurosaki said casually: "Don't worry, being sent to hell by God is nothing to be afraid of. I fought my way out of hell and killed the incarnation of God..."
Conan looked at Ichigo Kurosaki with a look that suddenly became horrified: "You don't have another name, Lucifer?"
Ichigo Kurosaki shrugged again: "The King of Hell is someone else in our world. My official title should be the Knight of Apocalypse."
Conan was silenced again, because he remembered some teachings of the God Church. The advent of the Horseman of Apocalypse was, in a sense, worse than the appearance of the King of Hell in the mortal world.
After a long moment, Conan smiled bitterly and said, "Ah, so the world has become so bad that the Knights of Apocalypse need to come and blow the trumpet of doom. Well, it turns out that the angels are aliens, and then they invade the earth under the leadership of the Knights of Apocalypse. God's miracles are really sci-fi, but is this a mockery of fate? The person who summons the Last Judgment is actually me, the great sinner who has unknowingly affected the fate of everyone..."
Conan's expression darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye. Ichigo Kurosaki didn't want Conan to be immersed in endless theological explorations, so he changed the subject:
"Let's put aside boring little things like God and the Last Judgment for now, and let's get back to your question. Is your time travel plan complete? Is there anything I can help you with? To be honest, I'm very interested in your plan. If I had your brain, maybe many things would have had better results..."
What Kurosaki Ichigo said was true. Compared to recreating the world from scratch, traveling back to the world of Death a million years ago and reordering the entire world as the Soul King might be able to change a lot of things. Unlike now, even if the new world is created, the people who disappeared in the catastrophe of nothingness will still not come back.
Although Ichigo Kurosaki can do everything, it is still difficult to reshape past creatures on a large scale.
Mainly, in this regard, Ichigo Kurosaki is still exploring the strength and technique of punching the River of Time. After all, the last time he punched the River of Time hard, he didn't beat back those people who disappeared into nothingness in Karakura Town, but instead beat out several ancient apes. For Ichigo Kurosaki, it was indeed a bit difficult to remain calm.
Conan shook his head. "God is omniscient and omnipotent. He already knows everything, but I am not. I just had some ideas for my time travel plan. In fact, if God hadn't told me indirectly through you that this plan is feasible, I would have thought it was just a ridiculous idea. It might take a long time to gradually turn this idea into a plan, but it doesn't matter. Before the plan is put into practice, I still have to make some preparations and... verification!"
Kurosaki Ichigo asked, "Verify what?"
Conan gave a bitter smile: "Verify whether I am really...guilty!"
Ichigo Kurosaki raised his eyebrows: "Then how do you plan to verify it?"
Conan said: "Let's walk around. As far as common sense is concerned, the clues to all doubts are always nearby, right?"
"Is this common sense? Why haven't I heard of this?"
"My friend, this is detective common sense!"
In this way, Ichigo Kurosaki accompanied Conan and strolled around the neighborhood.
Conan looked under the park bench, then parted the grass to look for it.
He seemed to have no purpose, just looking for clues for the sake of finding clues.
This nightmare Beikacho Park is a dark restricted area. No one can enter except Ichigo Kurosaki and Conan. Moreover, it was just born not long ago. Although Ichigo Kurosaki did not think that Conan could find any ghost clues here, he did not say much. After all, he was not the protagonist and there was no need for him to steal the show.
While wandering around in this nightmare Beika Town Park, Conan's expression was extremely complicated. He wanted to find something, but at the same time, he didn't hope to find anything, just like a prisoner waiting to be judged by fate!
What Ichigo Kurosaki paid attention to was not only Conan's expression, but also the "true identity of the protagonist" that had not yet awakened and was hidden behind his expression.
Although the towering giant slightly closed his eyes full of divinity due to Conan's control, when Conan "searched" again and again, the towering giant seemed to move strangely. He raised his hand and pointed his fingertips to the ground. Strands of darkness seeped out from his fingertips, as if to transform into some kind of destiny that appeared in the mortal world.
But the giant seemed to be hesitant and hesitant, and the fingertips pointing at the earth never fell!
In the dark world, the detective who keeps searching for clues to prove his guilt and the god who exists in the dark and wields infinite power, at this moment, there is a faint overlap, because both he and Him are hesitant.
Ichigo Kurosaki watched all this but said nothing, because he had already vaguely sensed the most fundamental trend of this world.
This is a rational world!
Whether it is confusion or hesitation, despair or pain, nothing can stop the implementation of rationality.
The answer will definitely appear!
At this moment, the towering giant dropped his fingertips into the mortal world, and Conan, who was wandering around in the nightmare Beika Town Park, seemed to have sensed something, and then his eyes fell on a trash can in the park.
In this nightmare park, all the scenery is distorted and absurd, and the trash can is no exception. It is a monster with fangs and looks like a living creature.
Conan didn't care about all this. He walked over hesitantly but firmly, stretched out his hand, and regardless of the dense fangs on the trash can, he forcefully opened the skull, which was also the lid, of the trash can.
But it didn't open immediately. The trash can monster struggled and roared, as if resisting. It also seemed as if fate was giving Conan the last mercy through this trash can.
But Conan didn't care about these at all. His eyes were already bloodshot at some point. He pulled hard and lifted up the skull of the garbage can monster!
Fangs and palms intertwined, blood splattered, but Conan still didn't care. He inserted his hand into the trash can and kept searching in the rotten flesh and blood tissue inside the trash can monster. Finally, Conan pulled out something like a notebook.
The trash can monster fell to the ground, and Conan just looked at the notebook in his hand and slowly smiled.
For the first time in his life, Kurosaki Ichigo saw someone's smile was actually sadder than crying.
Ichigo Kurosaki walked over and saw the notebook. On it was written "Kudo Shinichi's Diary" in neat handwriting.
"I have to admit that the detective's common sense is really interesting. He was able to find so-called clues in a place where there should be nothing. Or maybe your protagonist's power is indeed a little more powerful than I thought. So, are you sure you want to see it...!"
Conan smiled, a deep smile, but did not say anything. He just opened the diary without hesitation!
