The next day, noon.
In a private villa facing the sea.
The bright sunlight shone through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, accompanied by the sound of waves hitting the rocks. Tony slowly opened his eyes and slowly got up from the bed.
Death god, zanpakuto, Soul Society, Shikai, Hephaestus...
Recalling what happened yesterday, it was like a fantasy to Tony.
A pair of white jade arms wrapped around Tony's waist, followed by Pepper Potts coming out of the bed and rubbing her sleepy eyes. "Why are you up so early?"
"Good morning ---Dear." Tony looked at his lover in his arms, smiled and lowered his head to kiss Potts's lips.
After a long time, their lips parted.
Potts glared at Tony.
"If it's possible, I really hope that I can give you a warm kiss every morning in the future." Tony said seriously.
If not for yesterday, with his arrogant personality, he would never have said the words "I love you" to Potts.
However, after experiencing death, especially with the potential threat of Soul Society, it completely changed Tony's original thoughts.
He only wanted to cherish everyone around him, as well as every day!
"Tony..."
Potts saw the uneasiness in Tony's heart and hugged him tightly. She said worriedly, "Can you tell me what happened last night?"
Last night...
The scene that happened at the technological exposition became a lingering nightmare in her mind. She saw Tony's body and the broken Mark 4 with her own eyes!
However, when she woke up from her coma, she saw that Tony had been resurrected, and even Mark Four had been resurrected. It was as if she had just had a nightmare!
However, the collapsed ruins around her, as well as the pungent smell of smoke,
It reminded Potts at all times.
This was not a nightmare, but a real thing!
Tony was silent and his heart was in a dilemma. He did not know if he should tell Potts the truth.
On one hand, he did not want to involve Potts in case there was danger in the future, but on the other hand, he could not hide it from Potts. After all, this resurrection was too big!
"Tony ---Can you tell me?"
Potts held Tony's stubbled face with both hands and said seriously, "No matter what difficulties or dangers there are, I want to share the burden with you. Just like how you became Iron Man, don't keep me in the dark, okay?"
These words made Tony slightly moved. He carefully examined the woman in front of him and found that her eyes were very firm. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly, "Hey... If I say it, please don't be afraid, okay?"
"Okay!" Potts nodded.
Tony slowly began to narrate, "In fact, I am already dead... Right now, in front of you is a gigai who carries my soul..."
Potts listened carefully from his side.
When he heard Tony say that he had wielded the hammer and swing it 11 million times just to save his loved one, tears could not help but flow out of her eyes, and she was moved to send a hot kiss.
Tony was naturally not to be outdone. He used his excellent kissing skills to conquer Potts and covered the two of them with the blanket.
The clouds turned and the rain fell.
Little Tony advanced with great momentum, teasing Potts until he was utterly defeated and screamed again and again.
....
Soul Society.
The huge door opened and Lod slowly walked out.
"Sir, welcome back."
Haschwalth had been waiting at the side. He raised his head and saw that no one was following behind Lod. He revealed a puzzled expression. "Sir, could it be that Tony Stark's transformation did not succeed?"
"No, the transformation is quite successful." The flames that were everywhere appeared in Lod's mind, and he couldn't help but smile. "It should be said that it exceeded my expectations. He is better than I thought."
Haschwalth frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Since he succeeded, why didn't you bring him back to Soul Society?"
"Hahaha..."
Lod laughed happily. "Because I changed my mind. He is more important than I imagined. I want him to join Soul Society willingly!"
Hephaestus, Melt and Reconstruction!
Zanpakuto, which was named by the God of Fire and Artisan, had already shown its sharpness with just the Shikai Ability. It made people look forward to what kind of terrible ability Tony will show when he uses Bankai in the future!
"Excuse me..." Haschwalth pushed his glasses and said, "With Tony Stark's character, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."
"It doesn't matter."
Lod's eyes were deep, and he said with a faint smile, "The script has been prepared for him."
"It seems that Sir is determined to get it."
Haschwalth believed in Lod, so he smiled and said, "What script did Sir prepare for him?"
"What do you think... the invasion of the calamity?"
Lod looked at Seireitei in the distance and said, "We can take this opportunity to let Soul Society officially appear in front of everyone!"
Haschwalth said thoughtfully, "It seems that you have found the right actor for this act."
"No hurry..."
Lod smiled and waved his hand. "There are still a few left. Let him be free for a while."
Haschwalth nodded slightly and then asked the question in his heart, "Sir, I want to know, why do you think so highly of Tony Stark?"
"because of Asauchi."
Lod took a deep look at Haschwalth and said, "The number of death god now is still small, and I have personally transformed them, so there is no need to worry about zanpakuto. But in the future, once the number of death god rises, it will be a problem."
"I see!" Haschwalth suddenly realized.
Not every death god was born to be able to forge Spiritual Power into zanpakuto.
Most of death god used the standard weapons provided by Seireitei before graduation, and with the help of years of grinding and study, finally transformed the Asauchi into the zanpakuto that belonged to themself.
However, the problem they were about to face was that they could not provide standard weapons such as Asauchi to the graduated death god.
All the 'Asauchi' in the original work were forged by sword, Oetsu Nimaiya. They were handed over to the central 46 and sent to every student of the Spiritual Arts Academy as the initial tool to communicate with zanpakuto.
Then the problem was, what if there was no Oetsu Nimaiya in Lod's Soul Society?
Asauchi seemed to be very simple, however, after Lod asked Nemu, he knew that the forging difficulty of this thing could be said to be breaking through the sky!
It must be known that Oetsu Nimaiya successfully entered Zero Division with the credit of forging Asauchi!
Originally, Lod did not hold any expectations and planned to spend money in the future to draw Oetsu Nimaiya.
But until today!
When he saw Tony's zanpakuto, he suddenly changed his mind!
Since Oetsu Nimaiya could forge an asauchi, then there should be no reason for the genius inventor of Stark Industry to not be able to forge a new Asauchi!
Moreover, even if Tony Stark couldn't do it alone, with Kurotsuchi Mayuri and Kisuke Urahara, wouldn't that be enough?
