For a moment as Nozamu continued on with his initial theory on how they might be able to seperate the Hollow and the Shinigami that currently afflicted the new generation of Vizards in the Gotei, he prayed internally to the Soul King that for once Kurotsuchi was going to at least try and work with him to some extent on this. Yet when he finally finished speaking all he had to hear was that single phrase which revealed to him the reality that Kurotsuchi is Kurotsuchi, as well as he means and as brilliant as he is, his personality is just as unsightly as his face.
”Oh, done already?”
The crimson globes in his skull watched carefully as the computer began to open up showing the mass amounts of glowing spheres that were slowly bleeding into the lab raging rapids, then began to assimilate into a singular sphere that hovered over the ground and slowly spun around. It was indeed a technological masterpiece as this was the manifestation of knowledge unrivalled. Crossing his arms Nozamu knew he was going to be listening to something interesting as he waved his hand and two manifestations appeared, one human and one hollow.
”As we know from the annals of history, former Captain of the Twelfth Division and President of the Research and Development Institute developed the Hōgyoku is known to be able to be able to help break the boundary between Hollow and Shinigami allowing the fusion. It is this method which he used to save the lives of his former colleagues. Sosuke Aizen had used a rather crude method that involved sacrificing the souls of countless shinigami souls. The Aku Hachi Hakkō… this... festering Pot, is not unlike that strange creature conjured up by Sosuke. Its corruption ensures the reiatsu inside acts much like a poison, infecting the soul of those affected... inflicting them with Hollowfication.”
As Kurotsuchi continued on with this lecture, Nozamu continuously kept silent, listening to each bit of information coming from the man in case he had skimmed over any of it during his extensive research, yet it seemed no matter how much the man went on there was nothing new that he was able to teach him. When Kurotsuchi turned back to Nozamu and cocked his head from side to side, Nozamu simply stood tall, proud and firm seemingly undisturbed by the man’s strange movements and unending teachings.
”The reason Quincy could never become part-Hollow, is because Hollows are inherently the antithesis to Quincy. It is genetically and spiritually impossible for the two to coexist. The reason the Vaccine worked was because the Souls had not completely devolved into a Hollow, and Soul Suicide had not occurred. This Vaccine, created by yours truly by the way… shifted the internal battle. The Shinigami’s soul resisted the hollow as the Hollow sought to devour and overtake the Shinigami’s soul. Much like how white blood cells help in fighting infection and disease, the Quincy Vaccine was injected into our three specimens to combat its natural enemy.. The hollow, weakening it enough to allow the Shinigami souls to supress its will, smothering it until the Hollowfication process was ultimately forced to halt. Preventing them from completely turning into Hollows.”
Behind him the two images began a merging yet as a reenactment of his words a third glowing image appearing in the form of an arrow piercing the human shape and passing through to the Hollow’s causing its form to diminish in color and size. As distracting as it was, the display was meaningless to Nozamu; he understood the words being spoken better than the images above, proven by how he learned all of these words have been spoken to him before.
”The stabilization used by Kisuke Urahara was made to save a Quincy, a being who under normal circumstances would ultimately die once being infected by a Hollow. As I said, it is genetically impossible for them to coexist with one unlike Shinigami. Kisuke’s process was a band aid, a temporary fix. It was made to exponentially slow the process, it didn’t halt it completely. If you attempted to reenact the method, placing the Shinigami into those Gigai will indeed turn them into a cross between human and a Shinigami, but have you forgotten.. Kurosaki Ichigo was also at one point a cross between Human and Shinigami. Though he is an exceptional case we can at least deduce somewhat that.. The human body will NOT combat the Hollow or Hollowfication. If hollows can infect humans who are their natural prey, and give birth to what we know as Fullbringers...and if they can infect Shinigami causing them to become Vizards...then making a Shinigami a cross between two species who have historically been affected by Hollows will hardly be of any assistance in mitigating or diminishing the specimen’s ailments. Furthermore eliminating the powers of the Shinigami in such a state, is the same as weakening them, placing them into further risk of having their souls deteriorated! Hollows are able to extract souls indeed, and while the ability may be studied and potentially replicated there comes several risk. The hollow within them will not simply stand by and allow itself to be removed. As time goes on its soul will mix and blend with the soul of its host and subsequently..their zanpakuto. We run the risk of causing harm to the original soul or even the spirit born of the soul of its Master. Damage and harm which could potentially be irreparable.”
That final bit of information that Kurotsuchi had was all that Nozamu truly needed to hear in this entire situation as he understood the rest and for a moment he thought he was going to learn a lot more, yet when he saw Kurotsuchi pause and his eyes widen, he understood that he was not just going to go off on a tangent that involved impossible theories, he was also going to be done with the conversation for the moment.
Instead of taking his attention away though, Nozamu had other plans in mind.
”Kurotsuchi you are an interesting individual to say the least, but I can tell that you lack discipline.”
Step. Step. Step.
Nozamu’s footsteps as he walked toward the man were going to be quite loud as the rest of the lab appeared to remain quite, most of everyone with them just gazing upon the two as if something truly terrifying was about to happen, their theories weren’t helped any with him slowly shedding off the veils that covered his body and concealed his reiatsu.
”All of you, leave us now.”
With a single command every single person in the room except for the two of them were going to leave the lab immediately, some of them even running away from the scene, at the same time as they ran Nozamu’s reiatsu signature was going to rise higher, already being more than enough to make the scientist before him begin undergoing the effects of his reiatsu. Then just as the room was finally empty and everyone was as far away as they possibly could be, he places the veils back down upon his vessel, allowing his reiatsu to be contained once more.
”I humbly apologize for such a display Kurotsuchi, though what I we are about to discuss may only be between yourself and I.”
Walking around his subordinate he was going to stand directly in front of the spinning sphere that hung high in the air, then with a wave of his hands he was going to call down a keyboard that projected itself in front of him and began to type in an over one hundred character long password. After doing so the blue sphere was going to transform into nothing more than an amalgamation of ones and zeros that now released a crimson hue similar to the one his projection gave off, yet after typing in a few more keys it began to revert back to normal.
”You are my most brilliant subordinate, the reason you are not captain of this division is simply because you lack the strength to become so similar to myself apparently, sometimes when I hear your lectures I am absolutely dumbfounded by the things that come out of your mouth as there are some that even I am unable to comprehend. Even though I have high respect for you, I understand that you do not have that much respect for me or at least I do not believe so, simply due to the fact that you can comprehend what I say, but if I were to give you something so incomprehensible to observe that I have discovered, that might earn your respect.”
It took around three full minutes in order for Nozamu to completely get to where he wanted in the computer, when he finally accessed the file itself though it was clearly labeled _Jinsei no Shigoto (人生の仕事, Life’s Work)_ and upon opening the file it completely transformed the blue spheres and everything else in a purple hued cube that was rotating in all direction, the most curious thing about it though was the bright sphere that was in the center of it.
“My entire life I studied the way our bodies worked our world worked, what I uncovered from all that research was more than what this Division may be able to learn until generations from now when You or I or even the Captain Commander himself are dead and gone. I am showing this to you as a symbol of trust, appreciation and hope that this is the one thing that make you respect me as a scientist and maybe also let you know the one tool that we have that might be able to fix all of our problems if used correctly.
With a sigh that showed the amount of nervousness that was in his soul, Nozamu took a step back and allowed Kurotsuchi to unravel in what he was going to see before him, as it was the secrets of the universe itself.
