Chapter 195 My name is Maitreya, nice to meet you, hello, ‘Son of Disaster’

Inside the Hall of Heroes, in front of the white monument.

"Hiss..."

Yahiko took a breath and opened his eyes full of trance.

His memory seemed to be broken. He was still in the scarlet sea of ​​blood in the last second, and suddenly came back in the next second. His thoughts were like hemp and it was difficult to sort out.

Until his consciousness gradually became clear, his memory kept going back, like a fish swimming upstream, he remembered everything completely.

Just now, the boss suddenly reached out and pressed his head. He fell asleep instantly before he could react, and then he entered the sea of ​​blood like a dream and saw three familiar faces again.

Those were people who died in the Mountain Country before, and they looked very alive.

Yahiko couldn't remember his reaction at the time. It seemed that he hugged and greeted for a while stupidly. He couldn't remember the specific details of the greetings, as if he was dreaming through a layer of veil.

I only remember that in addition to a few familiar faces, there were dozens of black shadows of different shapes.

Their all-black bodies resembled black capes, with long and pointed noses and white masks on their faces.

Unlike the few people who remained sane, those black shadows all looked stupid, with a big hole in their chests running through their bodies from front to back.

They looked like monsters, exuding an extremely cold aura.

Those "people" who remained sane were "death gods"?

Those monsters seemed to be called... hollows?

"No, that's not right, they are not monsters."

Yahiko raised his hand to cover his still dazed head and shook it, whispering: "Like them, they are all souls of the deceased."

"Did they die unwillingly in battle, but because they failed to stick to themselves, they lost consciousness and became 'hollows'?"

The walking dead?

Only the flesh can be called the walking dead, and only the soul that has lost itself is left, which is far inferior to the walking dead.

Thinking that they died in battle because of themselves when they were alive, but became monsters because of unwillingness after death, Yahiko's expression gradually became self-blaming and guilty.

But just when his thoughts were confused and his mood was complicated.

Bang!

"Hiss! It hurts, it hurts!" Yahiko suddenly felt a headache and woke up instantly. He covered his head and grimaced in pain, looking up with tears in his eyes. "If you dare to cry here, I will kick you out." Yunchuan slowly opened his eyes, retracted the knife that hit his head, and said in a calm tone: "The blood dripping in front of the monument should be the blood of the enemy, not your cheap mourning tears." "What's more, aren't they still alive? This state is only temporary." Hearing this, Yahiko covered his head and was stunned for a while, and also remembered the last words said to him by those companions who still had reason and became "Death God" when they were dragged into the spiritual space just now. ——"Don't worry, we will meet soon, it's just a matter of time."

"Once a spirit without a body stays in the living world for a long time, it will be forcibly pulled to the Pure Land of the Dead." Yunchuan said, "So they can only stay in a special independent space now."

"As for those 'hollows', although they have lost consciousness now, if they devour enough spirits and evolve to the level of 'Killian' or even 'Achukas', it is not impossible to regain consciousness."

Yunchuan was not comforting Yahiko, this is a real possibility.

In the world of [Bleach], "hollows" are part of the dead who cannot ascend to heaven and wander in places that attract them due to their attachment to the world, reluctance or other obstacles.

After years of resentment and torture, or accelerated by some external factors, they will eventually degenerate into "hollows".

In the battle of Yangyan Village, there were hundreds of victims.

Under normal circumstances, they should be sucked into the Pure Land after death, or directly transformed into pure "spiritual particles" and dissipated in the world.

But Yunchuan used the ability attached to the template [Ichimaru Gin] to forcibly interrupt this process and accepted those souls who stayed in the world because they were unwilling to die and had strong spirits.

Unfortunately, after being awakened by him, only three of the nearly one hundred spirits survived the stage of degenerating into "hollows" and successfully transformed into spirits with self-awareness, and there is hope to become true "death gods" in the future.

The other spirits all fell on the way to awakening and degenerated into "hollows" without self-awareness.

This ratio and result made Yunchuan a little regretful, but fortunately, "hollows" may not be unable to have a self.

"Hollows" can be divided into 3 levels.

After a long period of slaughter and devouring of hundreds of "hollows", the special individual with stronger strength among the "hollows" will eventually merge with the same kind, the so-called lower-level hollow-Killian.

Under normal circumstances, the "Killian"-level hollow formed by the fusion of hundreds of hollows has no individual consciousness and acts purely on instinct.

However, if one of the Hollows has a much higher individual consciousness and strength than the others, it is possible to form a "Killian"-level Hollow with individual consciousness.

This "Killian"-level Hollow can enhance its ability by devouring "Killians" of the same level, and eventually evolve into an "Achukas"-level existence, with wisdom and self-awareness that is no less than or greater than that of humans.

The number of "Achukas" is extremely small, and at the level of "Achukas", it already has extremely powerful power. Only by breaking through the bottleneck and rising to a new height of power can it become a higher-level "Vashtod".

Under normal circumstances, "Hollow" evolves into "Killian" and becomes a new individual, but after all, the ninja world is different from the world of [Death].

Yunchuan wants to try fixed-point breeding to see if "Xu" can restore his memories of his life.

Of course, those "Voids" are still very low-level existences, far behind the lower-level Great Void "Killian", let alone "Yachukas" and "Vastod" behind them.

"We need enough spirits to try to feed them, so we can only do it step by step."

Yunchuan whispered something, then looked at the orange-haired boy who was pondering beside him, and said bluntly: "Yahiko, the breathing method has its limit after all. After you go back, practice the blade Zen I gave you before."

"When you build your own 'Zanpakuto', I will entrust the souls of those who died in the war to you. At that time, you can form your own Death God Army."

[Blade Zen], [Ichimaru Gin]'s template ability is similar to a kind of meditation. You can bring your consciousness into the sword, have a conversation with the sword, and build a "Zanpakutō" based on your own soul to improve your own power. Spirit strength.

This is a "knowledge", not an "ability", so Kumokawa had already taught Yahiko "Blade Zen" a long time ago.

However, judging from this kid's performance just now, his consciousness was already in a trance just after being brought into the mental space. His [mental] level was pitifully weak, and he obviously didn't take it seriously.

"Can I also form a legion?" Hearing Kumokawa's words, Yahiko's body suddenly shook, and he immediately cheered up, and said excitedly, "Is it enough to just build a 'Zanpakutō'?!"

if only?

Yunchuan couldn't help but smile.

Although he didn't think Yahiko could build his sword into a "Zanpakuto" in a short period of time, Kumokawa did not dampen his confidence and just nodded.

"When you master [Blade Zen], you will be able to see spiritual bodies. I will teach you how to collect the souls of the dead, but only for collecting the spiritual bodies of the deceased in legion battles."

He pointed at the huge white monument and reminded sternly: "The inside of this Heroic Spirit Monument is the enchantment space, including the 'Void' and the 'God of Death', and all spiritual bodies must be sealed in it."

"They are still willing to fight for us after death, and I promise that they can see their families again in the future, but the living have their own laws, and the dead have their own rules. The dead can never appear in the form of spirits in front of the living. "

"After they build their own Zanpakutō, I will prepare a body for them to contain their souls, and then they can appear in the physical form in this world."

"I have already told them these words, and now I will tell them to you. Do you remember them?"

Seeing the rare serious expression on his boss's face, Yahiko also realized that there might be problems with the resurrection of the dead. The excitement on his face faded, he took a deep breath, nodded and said seriously: "I understand."

After being serious for only two seconds, he scratched his head again and complained: "But, those who died in the war were members of other legions during their lifetimes, right? After death, they became my people. There is always a... strange feeling? "

They work hard when they are alive and burn themselves after death. Although those spirit bodies that can stay in this world are unwilling before death, they still feel a little inappropriate.

Kumokawa ignored Yahiko's worries, raised his hand and patted Uzumaki Ichiya next to him who was so shocked that he was still in a daze, and said with a smile: "Why are you so shocked? Isn't this the barrier sealing technique you developed yourself?"

Hearing this, Uzumaki Ichiya came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream, and said with a wry smile: "We thought we were here to fight the enemy, but we didn't expect that you can not only make the spirit body stay in the human world, but also make the spirit body become more powerful. ,even……"

It can even allow the spirit body of the deceased to regain a new body and see their family and friends.

Yahiko was just surprised by the wonder of this power, but Uzumaki Ichiya saw the meaning in it.

This power is somewhat similar to the forbidden art "The Jutsu of Reincarnation in the Dirty Land" developed by the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama according to the Uzumaki Clan's classics, but the two are fundamentally different in nature.

Although the "Art of Reincarnation from the Dirty Land" involves the realm of the soul, in the final analysis it is just a technique similar to the "Art of Channeling Spirits".

The real difficulty is to find the "Pure Land" and establish a "spiritual" connection with it. The strength of the resurrected person is at most the same as before death. It cannot become stronger, but will only become weaker and weaker.

But the power displayed by Yun Chuan is clearly a new, complete and systematic system, a system for strengthening the spirit body.

Unheard of, never seen before.

"Death, Hollow, spirit body..."

A few words flashed through Uzumaki Kazuya's mind, and the next moment, four words suddenly appeared in his mind, instantly making him shiver, and a sense of horror made the hairs on his body stand on end.

——The land of underworld? !

He finally understood why he always felt a familiar feeling.

It's the "land of hell" that that guy Shen Nong once mentioned!

"Takamagahara", the heavenly world where gods live, "Weiyuan China", the earthly continent where humans live, and the "Land of Yellow Springs" belonging to the underground dead.

In mythology, the Land of Underworld has an "Army of Underworld", an army of ghosts with soldiers and generals from the Land of Underworld, and the "God of Thunder". They are not separate entities, but the collective name of the eight "Thunder Gods".

When Shen Nong mentioned this before, Uzumaki Ichiya originally took it as a joke and laughed at his whims while doing experiments.

Born in the ninja clan that was born a thousand years ago, although the "clan" has been disrupted and dispersed into different departments, he still knows a lot of secrets.

For example, the three holy places, Ryuchi Cave, Myoboku Mountain, and Wet Bone Forest, are all in "different space". It is said that there are also Uchiha clan members who have opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, and the pupil ability is also similar in "different space".

Whether it is "Pure Land" or "Yellow Spring Country", in Uzumaki Kazuya's view, they are similar different spaces.

This kind of thing is not common, but there are many records in the classics. At most, it is a little strange, not shocking.

How could someone master the cycle of life and death like the gods in mythology?

But now it's different.

The things that Lord Yunchuan took out can make the spirit body separate from the body and exist independently, and can also make the spirit body more powerful.

This means that if he can find the "Pure Land", if the "Pure Land" is ownerless, if "reincarnation" really exists.

Then maybe he can really create the "Yellow Spring Country", a world for the underground dead, where the dead souls are, the destination of the souls of all living beings after death, and in charge of the death, reincarnation and rebirth of the living beings in the world!

"Death God" and "Hollow" gave Uzumaki Kazuya a strong sense of déjà vu, which made him unable to stop fantasizing, and he actually felt that what Shennong said seemed to be true.

——The Lord Tsukimi Rikumokawa standing in front of him at this moment seemed to be creating a "Yellow Spring Army" to supervise the dead.

Thinking of this, Uzumaki Kazuya looked at Kumokawa's face, as if he wanted to see something from it.

But there was only a faint smile on that face, and doubts caused by his gaze.

"What's wrong?" Looking at Uzumaki Kazuya's expression, Yunchuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there any problem?"

"No, nothing."

Uzumaki Kazuya's eyes twitched, and he shook his head quickly, then hesitated for a moment and lowered his head slightly: "Master Yunchuan, if there is no problem here, then I will take my leave first."

Looking at Uzumaki Kazuya, whose attitude seemed to be more respectful, Yunchuan just smiled and nodded as usual: "Go."

Getting the consent, Uzumaki Kazuya turned around and stepped out, about to leave the hall.

But at this moment, Yunchuan's voice came from behind.

"By the way, I almost forgot to say it."

Uzumaki Kazuya subconsciously turned his head and met a pair of deep blue eyes. He only heard Yunchuan say in a normal tone: "Don't worry, you and your son will meet one day."

"..."

Hearing this, Uzumaki Kazuya took a deep breath, and his already shaky defense collapsed instantly. He bowed deeply to Yunchuan without saying a word, and strode out of the hall under Yunchuan's gaze.

After he left, the smile on Yunchuan's face faded slightly, and he turned to look in the direction of Yahiko beside him.

No, it should be said that it was his side.

"It seems that there are guests visiting."

Yunchuan's eyes passed over Yahiko's head and looked at the empty place, as if he was looking at something, and said calmly: "It's just that I don't know if it is an uninvited bad guest or a distinguished guest from afar."

Hearing this, Yahiko was stunned for a moment, followed his line of sight, and looked to his side.

No one.

"Boss, are you talking to me?" Yahiko pointed at himself and asked in confusion.

As the voice fell, a figure gradually appeared, like white ink splashed on black paper.

"Of course I came here by invitation." The woman's voice was gentle and ethereal, "My name is Miroku, the witch of the country of demons."

"This is our first meeting. Should I call you 'Son of Disaster' or 'Defier of Fate'?"
