Chapter 1113 Founders part 2
Kisuke was led to a big mansion in the middle of the town that also seemingly served as a government building, and on the way there, the previous uproar they caused had already subsided among the inhabitants' minds as they had returned to their previous activities.
'If these people were once in the Human world, why is the civilization's level only that of the industrial level?' Kisuke looked around more and found out that normal production and use of electricity is none existent, 'It's hard to utilize Spiritual Power for complicated machinery and only a few people can actually do it. No one is actually using the easier and abundant Magic Power because no one knows how to do it, is that it?'
While speculating about some things, Kisuke was left alone in a room that looked like an office where he could see one side of the town, "You don't mind if we talk for a bit, do you?" Asked Chika.
"That's fine. I also wanted to gather my thoughts before we start."
As soon as Chika and Furoufushi left him, two people stood guard in his room but Kisuke ignored them and went to the window, opening it to feel the air. After taking a deep breath, he was able to confirm that the concentration of Magic Power in this World was at least twice that of the world where Devils and Angels exist. As if someone crammed it all into a tiny space, 'I can't be sure without properly measuring it, but there's something different about this Magic Power.'
In the previous world, Modern Magic originated from how Devils used their Demonic Power, however, Magic Power had already existed before the Devils did and it was being used by various factions with their own systems. Demonic Power was just a derivative of Magic Power and that's the same for the Light Power and every other system that's utilized similarly to Magic.
With those in mind, it's perfectly understandable that Magic Power is the most common and abundant along with Ki and Spiritual Power.
However, in this world, the most abundant 'Magic Power' had a similar feeling as Demonic Power. Kisuke thought that the existence of Magic Power, Ki, and Spiritual Power is universal, but clearly, it's a different case for this side, 'Is it because this is a different dimension or...'
At that moment, the partial Soul King's words reechoed in his mind, 'Be wary of Hell.'
Kisuke thought that the way he said it was weird as if he was referring to an individual instead of a place, 'And why is there a need to place a [Lid] on Hell? And why couldn't the Soul King create a reasonable reincarnation system himself and instead opted to leave it to others even if it means disgracing his existence? Just what was he trying to achieve all this time?'
Noticing that he's descending into a useless train of thought that'd only lead him to dangerous conclusions that might hurt him later, Kisuke took another deep breath to clear his mind, 'I don't have enough information to contemplate any of that. That's dangerous.'
'Strangely enough, Ki also exists here in abundance despite all the beings here being supposed to be 'dead'. But similar to the Human world, it's mostly unattended.'
Kisuke gathered more information with his senses until Chika and Furoufushi returned a quarter of an hour later, "Sorry for making you wait." The former offered him a seat.
Kisuke sat on the couch while the other two sat opposite of him, "Well then, Urahara-kun... If that's even your real name, let's get straight to the point." Chika started.
Kisuke raised his hand to stop him for a moment, "When I said I wanted us to get along, I meant it so I gave you my real name. But regardless of whether you believe that or not, I would like to request that you call me [Belial] for all our proceedings and how you mention me to others going forward. [Urahara Kisuke] is a very inconvenient name, you see?"
Chika went quiet for a moment before nodding, "Alright, Belial-kun, we'll do just that, so answer us, what are you doing here?"
"To be perfectly honest, I didn't really know what to expect when I came here. I didn't even know that I'd reach a place like this."
Both Chika and Furoufushi sported a confused look and the latter asked, "Are you saying that you're only here by chance?"
Kisuke shook his head, "Of course not. But here in Oath Town specifically? A coincidence. I intended to see what Hell is for myself in some way or another and it's just a coincidence that I found a young Shinigami sending Pluses to Hell. You know how Hell is being viewed from the other side so I got curious and asked him to send me over too."
Chika leaned back in his seat, "I guess that's true. Then a follow-up question, what prompted you to investigate Hell?" He wanted to ask something more important like how he's utilizing the [Hell's Grace] but wanted to know his motives first.
"You also already know this. The boundary between Hell and the Human World has loosened. And it's to the point that headache-inducing characters are crossing this boundary seemingly with little to no repercussions."
"Characters?" Furoufushi leaned in.
'Looks like these two haven't received the news. I'm guessing that their only contact is with Kazui-kun.'
Kisuke grinned and said, "If you want to know more, then we'll have to come to an agreement, don't you think? You can't be the only one asking questions, can you?"
Chika and Furoufushi glanced at each other. Before they confronted Kisuke, they already expected that they'd have to exchange information with him. However, they still aren't sure if they could trust any of his words and would only be able to do so when they see it for themselves. But even knowing that, there's a big problem to the only solution possible.
Kisuke also figured out what they wanted and he's already expecting them to ask about it. However, seeing that they were hesitating, he guessed that there was something else preventing them. In an attempt to gauge their reaction, Kisuke directly said, "I can arrange it so that you can reach the Human World."
Contrary to his expectations, Chika just smiled wryly and shook his head, "It's impossible for an 'Unchained' to leave Hell. In exchange for freedom, we are not to join the world of the living even if the boundary between life and death completely collapses."
