Holy Grail War? Dragon Ball War

(The initial analysis of the matter has been completed.)

(Now attempting to reconstruct it.)

(Under restructuring)

Eh?

I don't understand what Raphael is referring to, since he's given them quite a lot of "work" this time.

But he didn't have to wait long before he found his usual knife on the table.

"Could this be..."

Rimuru was surprised to notice the slight difference.

(Answer: Zanpakuto.)

A faint sound could be heard emanating from the blade, seemingly mixed with a joyful emotion.

"I can indeed feel a connection on a soul level."

"Reconstructing the original sword, Raphael, have you become attached to it?"

(yes)

Upon hearing this, Rimuru understood. Raphael had probably plucked a piece of his soul and fused it into the blade, thus creating the so-called "Zanpakuto".

"So, does that mean we can then use the so-called Initial Release and Bankai?"

(Answer: No.)

"Huh? Why?"

Before I could even be happy for two seconds, I was doused with cold water.

(Informed that there is no name.)

Upon hearing Raphael's explanation, Rimuru was immediately stunned.

It's a Zanpakuto, but it doesn't have a name?

Although both are products born from the heart, isn't a nameless Zanpakuto just an ordinary "Asauchi"?

"Do I have to slowly absorb and understand it?"

(Solution: All that's needed is a "name," meaning that actively naming the Zanpakuto is enough for it to truly take shape.)

"Huh? This is okay? So casual?"

"I see."

Rimuru could sense Raphael's fluttering emotions and instantly understood. After a moment of slight helplessness, she crossed her arms and fell into deep thought.

It seems really unbelievable that someone would actively name their Zanpakuto.

But Raphael has always been the one helping out. This time, he needs to think it over carefully.

A Zanpakuto is a partner. Raphael is the soul of the sword.

"correct."

"Let's name the Zanpakuto this."

"Ciel!!"

Chapter 574: 574 Harvest!

“Charles.”

When Rimuru uttered that name, he noticed a change in the "sword".

Compared to before, it seems to possess more "spirituality".

It has a real sense of life.

Even its appearance has changed quite a bit.

They can also sense that the connection between their souls has become closer.

(Is it just my imagination? I get the feeling that Raphael... no, Ciel seems really happy?)

Touching his chin, Rimuru could feel the activity in his soul, but he didn't ask immediately.

He wasn't too concerned about this change. In his view, since it was created as a Zanpakuto, it should awaken a similar "personality".

It might even generate an externally active body.

"that."

Rimuru was a little worried after receiving no response for a long time.

But before he could finish speaking, he witnessed the "great transformation of a living person".

"Eh?!"

A flash of light followed the knife, and then a figure appeared with a similar appearance to him, but with a more feminine physique.

"Completed"

Her open red eyes were so magnificent, and paired with her long blue hair and appearance, and dressed in a gorgeous gown, Rimuru felt as if she were a queen from some country.

"Ciel?"

"Yes"

"Based on the structure of the Zanpakuto, and with the help of Lord Rimuru's naming, a brand new soul and personality have been born."

"It has been confirmed that the [King of Wisdom] has completed its evolution."

"Zanpakuto Ciel has arrived."

The familiar tone surprised Rimuru.

In that instant, he noticed that Charles had improved tremendously compared to before.

(Could it be the effect of the naming?)

(It still feels a bit unbelievable.)

Raphael's evolution was unexpected by Rimuru.

But it was probably created by taking advantage of the unique mechanism of the Zanpakuto.

After all, each Zanpakuto possesses its own "soul and personality".

If Xia Er turned himself into a "sword spirit," perhaps he obtained a body by relying on this special characteristic.

It can only be said that encountering a Shinigami with a Zanpakuto was a great help, allowing him to analyze the situation more specifically.

(Hmm, she really is beautiful.)

He muttered these thoughts to himself, relieved that he had transformed back into a slime, so his blushing wouldn't be noticed.

"."

The momentary tremor in his red eyes went unnoticed. As he breathed a sigh of relief, he simply reached out and picked up the round, chubby body.

Rimuru was right. Thanks to the special principle of Zanpakuto generation, Ciel has already developed an independent self-awareness and a complete personality.

This body was also one of Charles's "trophies".

While evolving, it also greatly improved its own abilities.

She is much stronger now than before.

It could even be described as "omnipotent".

"Veldra and the others will definitely be very surprised then."

Ciel, as a part of Rimuru, not only possesses the ability to manifest, but also has a complete soul and consciousness, which is quite incredible in terms of special skills.

"Speaking of which, what is the Liberation Language?"

Thinking of something very important, Rimuru turned and looked up at her, asking a question.

Since Ciel is still one with me, he shouldn't be as troublesome as some of the awkward Zanpakuto.

"You don't need to call my name."

"Eh?"

Upon hearing Ciel's answer, Rimuru was momentarily stunned.

He had already planned that if there were any battles in the future, he could still act cool, stylish, and like the Grim Reaper.

But what's the point of just calling someone by name?

While it's convenient for combat, it still feels like something's missing.

He also misses the cool liberation slogan.

"."

There was no deliberate explanation; in fact, Charles said it on purpose.
