Soft and smooth.
It could only be said that Kirio Hikifune was indeed in excellent shape before she began consuming large amounts of food to accumulate Reiatsu for potential emergencies.
What happened later was truly unexpected.
However, this also revealed that she was a woman who didn't care much about her appearance.
To thoroughly implement her research theory, she was willing to sacrifice her beautiful face and proud figure in the process, transforming herself into someone who appeared different from her usual self.
Of course, to Arima, Kirio Hikifune looked more captivating at this moment.
Hikifune Kiryu, who had just appeared in the thousand-year bloody battle, always felt that her image had been too abstract.
Just as Arima was lost in thought, Hikifune Kiryu also became aware of her abruptness. She quickly released her grip and distanced herself from him, a blush spreading across her cheeks.
It turned out that she hadn't been careful.
Whether it was intentional or accidental, who could say?
Hikifune Kiryu took some time to calm her flustered emotions. After regaining composure, she began summarizing the experiment.
"Experiments have proven that it is indeed possible to increase the strength of the soul by injecting spiritual power into it, thereby enhancing Reiatsu."
"But it is not so simple to inject spiritual power into the soul.
First, the spiritual power injected must be pure and free of conflicts with the soul; otherwise, it will cause rejection.
Second, the process of injecting spiritual power requires extremely delicate control..."
Hikifune Kiryu continued summarizing the experiment.
The spiritual power used to cultivate the soul had been extracted from the experimental soul. After that, it was cultivated and strengthened in an external environment before Arima used his precise spiritual control to integrate it into the subject.
This process of splitting and then reintegrating the soul led to the strengthening of the soul itself.
However, this method is not universally applicable.
Is there a better solution?
Hikifune Kiryu kept pondering.
After all, not everyone possesses the same level of control over spiritual power as Arima.
What was injected into the soul was external spiritual power, not the Shinigami's own spiritual power, making it very difficult for a Shinigami to control it.
If it were Shinigami's own spiritual power, it would be easy to inject into other souls.
However, one's own spiritual power conflicts with the soul's power, making it hard to balance both.
"Wait..." Hikifune Kiryu suddenly had an idea.
"The spiritual power injected into the soul is cultivated and strengthened using an external container. What if, instead of an external container, I used my own body as the container?"
"Introduce part of the spiritual power into my body, let it serve as a container, and use my spiritual power to cultivate it."
"Since this spiritual power shares the same origin as the soul, the strengthened power can easily integrate into it. And because my own spiritual power nourishes it during cultivation, I can easily control it..."
Hikifune Kiryu's idea was formed.
She then shared her thoughts with Arima.
Arima immediately recognized the principle behind it, which was similar to the cooking process in Hikifune Kiryu's previous work.
"Use the spiritual power of others as the essence, and then use your own spiritual power as the 'heat' to continuously cultivate this essence, making it stronger and eventually integrating it into the Shinigami's physical factors."
"The idea is reasonable and does seem feasible."
"But you should know that the process of cultivating spiritual power requires a high level of spiritual ability. It will consume a large amount of Reiatsu, and while your spiritual power is impressive, it still may not be enough."
Arima said to Hikifune Kiryu.
"Of course, I know my current spiritual power alone isn't enough to bear such consumption," she replied.
"Therefore, I will find ways to accumulate more spiritual power, so my body can contain more of it."
"Gain mass? Use extra capacity to carry more spiritual power?" Arima couldn't help but comment.
Hikifune Kiryu paused, then her eyes lit up. "This is indeed a possibility. If I can increase my body's capacity, I can carry more spiritual power."
Hikifune Kiryu didn't seem to care about her image in the slightest.
She wasn't concerned that, by gaining more mass, she would appear differently, so long as her plan could completely bring her years of research into fruition.
"But have you considered how much spiritual power your body can hold?"
"The body will eventually reach its limit. After one use, the spiritual power it carries will be exhausted," Arima continued.
"Captain, is there a better way?" Hikifune Kiryu asked. She was an intelligent individual, and since the idea of gaining mass had initially come from Arima, she knew he must have another solution in mind.
Arima didn't hide it. "Do you remember the Reiatsu suppression device?"
Hikifune Kiryu nodded.
The Reiatsu suppression device had existed in Soul Society long before. Its purpose wasn't to limit Zaraki Kenpachi's overwhelming Reiatsu, as seen in the original work, but to be used on criminals.
After capturing criminals who had committed serious offenses, if their powerful Reiatsu wasn't suppressed, they could still resist arrest.
Thus, this device was created.
"There are many types of Reiatsu suppression devices. In addition to those that restrict Reiatsu flow or affect the transmission of spiritual power, there are also devices that absorb spiritual power."
"Since Shinigami's spiritual power can be absorbed by external devices, can we enhance this idea by adding a storage component? A device that absorbs and stores spiritual power?"
Arima proposed.
Hikifune Kiryu suddenly realized.
Previously, she had only thought about using her own spiritual power to cultivate the spiritual power of others within her body, but she had overlooked the idea of wearing several spiritual power storage devices.
By using those devices, she could store spiritual power in advance and replenish herself as needed, making this method far superior to trying to gain mass.
