Chapter 299

Ling Bai nodded and said nothing, not even saying "leave it to me". They ran towards the tower where the Spirit King was.

After their backs disappeared, the commander of the army, Ichibei, sat on the ground and said softly: "No matter who wins or loses, peace should be more thorough, right, Yhwach."

"His life is really big.".

On their way to the tower, Shiba Iwajiu said: "Even the bones were burned, but he can still survive."

Ling Bai said lightly: "The members of Team Zero are integrated with the spiritual veins of Team Zero's Lidian. As long as the Spiritual Palace exists, they will not die."

Yoruichi looked up at the sky loft not far away and suddenly said: "It really seems like an independent world."

"The original world." Ling Bai said: "In the original world, no one will die. The original world disappears, and life and death appear. I think Team Zero was given the original power by the Spirit King in the separated world. The privilege of the world. After all, that monk is over a million years old and is still going strong. I don’t know how the members of Team Zero decide whether they accept the Soul King’s will, but it seems interesting.”

Yoruichi sighed silently, and then said: "Let's go quickly, Yhwach may have reached the Soul King."

"The Spirit King must die." Ling Bai said: "The existence of the Spirit King is not only a shame to the Spirit King himself, but also a shame to the Quincy clan."

Yohababach went up to the sky attic of the tower. On the way, he killed more than ten magic soldiers guarding the Soul King's palace. Facing the fierce blade approaching the Soul King, they were helpless. Yohabah opened the top curtain, and in the empty room, in the middle There is a transparent object similar to amber, and the Spirit King is inside. He is thin and has no arms or legs. He is like a human stick wrapped in amber.

"Spiritual King, at this point, you can't even escape. You are an incomplete god..."

Yhwach held the Annihilation Cross Knife in his hand and said as he walked: "I will end the endless humiliation now. Or should I say, you have foreseen what happened today. Goodbye, Soul King, I have insight into the future. Father..."

"Don't worry..."

Ling Bai suddenly said: "The Spirit King is dead."

Not only Inoue Orihime, but also Yoruichi's pupils are gradually shrinking. The death of the Soul King means that the world will gradually collapse, and the Soul Society does not yet know what state it is in.

"How can it be……"

Ling Bai smiled and said: "In that case, then we can offer our blessings to the great evil that has been hidden until now and has not been able to be purified even in a million years."

Yoruichi looked at him in confusion, not because she didn't know what he was talking about, but because she didn't know why he said that.

She has been in contact with Urahara Kisuke for the longest time and knows many things. No matter what other people think, she often feels that the best solution is to disclose the truth. It is precisely because hiding the truth can never solve the problem and the victim will live forever. When an injustice is settled, a grudge breaks out, or a dispute arises again, the correct way of dealing with it can purify the sin, but the actions of the God of Death are far from correct.

At this time, there were no signs of the collapse of Soul Society. The captain and deputy captain who were still alive gathered outside the Technology Development Bureau, including the seemingly useless Omaeda Kichiyo, who was still holding his sister in his arms. Just when they suffered When Buzby attacked, Hirako Mako inflicted the soul-cutting sword's reverse caressing ability on the other party, and they were saved.

Renji Abarai said helplessly: "The day before yesterday, we were going to do something very dangerous. Why did you bring your sister here?"

"Idiot!" Omaeda Kichiyo yelled: "She just fell asleep, what will you do if you wake her up!"

"You are the noisiest person here."

Zhifeng patted the back of the head the day before yesterday and said softly: "The injuries that the girl and I suffered from the enemy were all healed by Deputy Captain Hinamori. She cannot be left alone in this war, so don't worry about it. ”

Hearing this, Renji Abarai was stunned for a moment. It was meaningless to him, but he was surprised by Zaihou's attitude. He turned around and whispered to Kuchiki Rukia: "The battle with Zaihou seems to have become gentler."

"Idiot, she is very gentle to begin with." Rukia Kuchiki said helplessly.

Chapter 156: Everything is broken

"Let's go."

Broken Bee said: "Since it is an emergency, don't talk here and go in quickly."

Five minutes ago, they received a message from Kisuke Urahara, asking them all to put down the enemies in their hands, and all captains and vice-captains to gather immediately. It was a very forced order.

Hirako Mako opened the door. In addition to Urahara Kisuke, Kuchiki Byakuya and Ise Nanao had already arrived in the laboratory, and of course Shifengin Yushiro had just arrived.

"Why are there so few people?"

Hirako Mako said: "Not everyone is here at all. What happened, Kisuke."

Urahara Kisuke was busy on the test bench and said without raising his head: "Captain Komamura of the 7th Division was seriously injured. Vice-captain Tetsuzaemon Tetsuzaemon said he had to go elsewhere, and the treatment team they sent there was also Rejected. As for Captain Nirvana, they will meet up sooner or later. After all, if the Soul Society disappears, that person will also be troubled. The people of Team 11 are receiving treatment. The two officers are fine, but Captain Zaraki is seriously injured. ”

At this point, he paused, and then continued: "As for Aizen and Ichimaru, there is no contact for the time being. The captain of the first team said that there is something to deal with. Currently, only the captain and deputy captain of the tenth team are completely out of contact. ”.

"It's all in disarray." Hirako Mako said, "What do you want to do by gathering us all here?"

"Break into the Spirit King's Palace." Urahara Kisuke said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the laboratory was shocked. Hirako Mako was surprised: "Are you talking about letting everyone at the captain level break into the Soul King's Palace? Can you do such a thing?"

"It should be possible." Urahara Kisuke said: "As long as there is the God-given weapon armor brought by Mr. Yu Shiro and the pedestal of Captain Nirvana, plus the powerful spiritual pressure gathered by the captain."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the treatment room was pushed open, and Ukitake Jushiro walked out of it, smiling briskly: "The treatment is finally over, let me express my condolences to everyone."

"Mr. Ukitake?" Hirako Mako was even more surprised: "What are you doing there? You should be the one being treated."

Ukitake Jushiro scratched his head and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? If you are in good health, I can also help with treatment. Moreover, even though I am weak, I am also very knowledgeable in the healing art of papermaking. In short, now, except for Captain Zaraki, In addition, everyone else has returned to a state of action, all thanks to Vice Captain Kotetsu and Yamada Sanchi."

What he told is indeed the truth. He has been frail and sick since he was a child. He would cough and vomit blood during battles, and even faint when the sun is too dazzling. Few people know his true strength, but he is kind-hearted, understands righteousness, and wins the trust of his team members. like.

"You said anyone but anyone can move?"

Zaraki Kenpachi also walked out of the treatment room. When he came out, the first thing he said was: "Where is Yachiru? Have you not contacted him yet?"

Urahara Kisuke waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the members of the 11th Division are helping to search, and they should be found soon. Please wait here first."

He ignored Urahara Kisuke, snorted coldly, and walked out on his own. When he pushed the door open, Urahara Kisuke was so anxious that he lowered a barrier outside the door, forcing him to retract his hand. Zaragi Kenpachi turned around and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing?"

"Sorry for being so rude." Urahara Kisuke sighed: "Please don't go out now. This will be very troublesome. Please be patient."

Zaraki Kenpachi's expression suddenly darkened, he turned around and faced Urahara Kisuke. The atmosphere in the room also became very depressing, as if it would explode at any time. At this moment, Ise Nanao stood between the two of them.

"Get out of the way!" Kenpachi Zaraki raised his head slightly and said almost contemptuously.

"stop!"

Facing Zaraki Kenpachi, cold sweat broke out on Ise Nanao's forehead, but she still said: "Now is not the time to do such a thing. Instead of Captain Zaraki looking for it himself, let the team members find it." , but it will be faster, and what Captain Zaraki has to do here, the team members cannot do it no matter what. We should complete what must be done now, right, Captain Zaraki! "

The more she talked about it, the more excited she became, and she even shouted out. Madarame Ikkaku and Yumichika were both stunned. They knew Captain Zaragi's temper, and no deputy captain dared to talk to him like that. Zaraki Ken Ba stared at him for a long time, then exhaled, not knowing whether he didn't want to break his face, or felt that what he said made sense, exhaled, turned around, and sat down against the wall.

"It's true what you said. It's indeed faster to leave it to me."

Urahara Kisuke and Ise Nanao breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Urahara Kisuke smiled and said: "Okay, before Captain Zaraki changes his mind, let's start quickly. Everyone stands on the stage. I will gather the spirit children." Give the balls to everyone.”

Chapter 157: Complete Collapse

"Everyone, please do not pour your spiritual pressure into the beads individually."

Urahara Kisuke said: "After the ceiling is opened, your clothes will get slightly wet, but please forgive me."

He always spoke so politely that no one could find anything wrong with him, but as soon as he finished speaking, Hiyori Sarugaki suddenly appeared, holding something like a water gun in his hand, and said loudly: "Get ready. Are you ready, gods of death?"

"Hiyori?" Hirako Mako asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"

Hiyori Sarugaki shouted: "What are you talking about, bald man? It's obviously you who ran over to be Urahara's little brother and pushed all the troublesome things to us, so we are here."

At this point, he opened the water gun, and a large amount of white liquid sprayed out, falling on the Shinigami standing on the round platform, but they did not feel wet. Urahara Kisuke explained that this is the gap between Soul Society and the real world. The substance produced in it is the necessary energy to go to the Soul King Palace. Previously, Yoruichi prepared a small part urgently, and most of the rest was refined by Hiyori Sarugaki, which can be integrated with the captains' spiritual pressure. .

"Okay, next..."

Kisuke Urahara lowered the brim of his hat and said slowly: "Mr. Luo Wu, Mr. Hakugen, Miss Lisa, Miss Hiyori, there is a Death King costume on the shelf at the back of the anatomy room. Please change it and join in."

Hearing this, Hiyori Sarugaki's face suddenly darkened. She hated the God of Death, not only because of Aizen, but also partly because of Urahara Kisuke. She was about to refute, but before she could say anything, Aikawa Luo Wu picked it up and strode towards the anatomy room.

"Don't be nagging!"

Aikawa Luowu said as he walked: "Mako and Kensai have stepped forward, do we still have the nerve to go back like this?"

Hiyori Sarugaki didn't speak. In fact, now that she was here, she was ready to fight side by side with the God of Death, but she just didn't want to go down this step so quickly.

"What to do now?"

Zaraki Kenpachi fiddled with the ball in his hand and asked: "Infuse it with spiritual pressure and then bounce everyone up?"

"No, the next thing we have to make is a door." Urahara Kisuke said: "Make a door directly connected to Soul King Palace. When Mr. Lingbai came back, he had destroyed the barrier so that we could use it. As for the method of coming back, ,Maybe not."

Hearing this, Zhifeng gritted his teeth and said, "You guy, why are you saying this now?"

Urahara Kisuke scratched his head and smiled: "I'm very sorry, please don't be angry..."

"No." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhifeng: "Do you think that if you say it, we will shrink back? Your insulting thoughts are really infuriating. If you have ever He is the captain of the Gotei 13, so don’t look down on the Gotei 13 so much. We all feel the same about shouldering the important responsibility of the Gotei."

"I don't care about that." Zaraki Kenpachi said carelessly: "I don't care what you are carrying, whether you can come back or not, who cares, as long as I can chop those guys until they can't stand up. Stop procrastinating and get going."

Urahara Kisuke lowered his eyes, and after a moment, raised the corners of his mouth with a relieved smile.

However, at this moment, the roof suddenly shattered, and the entire Serenity Garden shook violently, like an earthquake. They subconsciously thought it was an enemy attack, but there was no Quincy's spiritual pressure nearby. Urahara Kisuke's pupils suddenly shrank. , his face turned pale, and he blurted out: "Is the Spirit King dead?"

He was right, Yhwach had already inserted his Annihilation Cross Knife into the human stick in amber.

"what happened!"

Hirako Mako shouted: "What on earth are those guys from Team Zero doing? Isn't Ling Bai already up there?"

Urahara Kisuke wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a deep voice: "Although I don't want to say it, I can only think this way now. I estimate that the Zero Division has been completely wiped out, and Ling Bai and the others have not caught up. This speculation should be very reasonable. , what is certain now is that if this continues, the Serenity Garden, Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and even the present world will disappear. "

The atmosphere in the laboratory is quite depressing. Many people know that the Soul King is the wedge connecting the world. If he dies, the entire world will disappear and return to the pre-chaos world, a world without life and death, which is still standing in Soul Society. What else can they do?

"What should I do? Is there anything I can do?"

Everyone, look at me and I look at you. No one can do anything, not even Urahara Kisuke.

"I come……"

They looked at Jushiro Ukitake who spoke, and saw a black shadow rising from his back, and his face was terrifyingly gloomy. Kisuke Urahara asked in surprise: "Mr. Ukitake, what is that?"

"I will take the place of the Soul King." Ukitake Jushiro took off his captain's halo, with a thin upper body and a black totem appearing on his back. He squatted on the ground, pulled out the soul-cutting sword, and murmured: "One-eyed Great God, show me your The power of it...".

Chapter 158: Choice

"What happened?"

On the way to the Spirit King's Palace, Yoruichi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and she couldn't help but ask, "Why do you feel uneasy?"

Ling Bai ran ahead and said calmly: "The Soul King is dead, and Soul Society and reality have begun to collapse."

Hearing this, Yoruichi's pupils shrank one by one. They were already very fast, but they still didn't stop Yhwach. If this continues, the next battle seems to lose its due meaning. It seems that he can see her uneasiness, Ling Bai chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Ukitake will control everything."

"What do you mean?" Yoruichi was very confused. Although she knew Ukitake's character and strength, the collapse of Soul Society was not something that the captain could stop.

Ling Bai said softly: "He has a god enshrined in his body and can replace the Spirit King."

He thinks he knows Ukitake Jushiro very well, one of the oldest captains of the Seireitei. He is kind, gentle and peace-loving. He will treat the Shinigami and humans equally. However, while he is kind, he will also do it for Seirei. Ting doesn't hesitate to get his hands dirty, but he and Jingraku Shunsui are also fundamentally different. Jingraku Shunsui will do shady things for the sake of the overall situation. He will bear this sin alone, and it will be very painful. He still will do.

Ukitake Jushiro is on the contrary. Even if he does something, you will find out how good he is and how painful he is. He is not the kind of very capable man. However, Ling Bai still thinks that Ukitake's consciousness is not that Simple.

"What god?" Yoichi asked.

"The right arm of the Spirit King is Mimi Haki." Ling Bai said: "And he himself was also influenced by Mimi Haki."

Yoruichi had probably heard from Urahara Kisuke that the Soul King's fragments were scattered all over Soul Society. She didn't expect that they would be on Ukitake, so she couldn't help but ask: "The influence you mentioned is that he has been under the influence for a long time." A sickly state?"

"This is also part of it." Ling Bai said: "According to my understanding, there are no double swords in the Soul Society. His Soul-Slaying Sword and the Pisces are connected by a belt, and their abilities are repaid in the same way. , If it is a single sword, how to activate this ability? The formation of the ability may be affected by Mimi Haki, but it may also be Tai Chi Fish. "

Yoruichi suddenly laughed and said: "I always feel that Pisces is a bit like the torii gate of a shrine. If the two swords are put together, it will be the shape of the door. The connecting straps and five brands are like connecting ropes and connecting ropes." Paper symbols on it.”

"Yes." Ling Bai nodded: "After being materialized, they are also two Taoist children. Moreover, the shrine is also dedicated to gods. After all, the soul-cutting sword is a mirror that reflects the heart. Even if it is influenced by Mimi Haki, I I don’t think too much about it, and it’s not like using Tai Chi’s strength. It’s more like the gatekeeper of the shrine returning everything he entered.”

Yoruichi said: "The torii is the entrance to the divine realm. It is used to distinguish the divine realm from the secular world where humans live. The meaning of the torii's existence is to remind visitors that stepping into the torii means entering the divine realm. All words and deeds You should pay special attention to your behavior.”

Ling Bai smiled and said: "Just like what Aizen said, he is qualified to stand in the sky, but he has not chosen to live like that. He has been waiting for today, not to replace the Soul King in critical moments, but to save a life. , being able to die for Gotei is his wish. There is a god enshrined in his body, and the torii gate is a door. He takes a step between these doors, and he is a god, but he chooses to be a human by his own will. "

"Lord Mimihaki, show me the power you have hidden within me."

The black totem behind Jushiro Ukitake turned into a black shadow. There was a big eye on the shadow, which quickly rose into the sky. Not only them, but even Urahara Kisuke was stunned.

It seemed that the ceremony had been completed. Ukitake Jushiro lowered his head and said, with a big man all over his body, that when he was three years old, he suffered from a serious lung disease. This white hair was the sequelae of the lung disease. He was originally three years old. He should have died that year.

Urahara Kisuke has also heard of Mimi Haki's name, but it's just a name. Legend has it that he is a one-eyed earth god in Higashi Rukongai.

Ukitake Jushiro said: "Mimihaki is the earth god of the 76th district of Higashi Rukongai. He will protect and sacrifice people except for eyes. And that god is the spirit that fell from the sky a long time ago in legend. The king’s right arm.”

Hearing this, Urahara Kisuke's pupils shrank one by one. It was not a surprise beyond recognition, but the shock of seeing new things. Ukitake Jushiro's parents were very superstitious and sent him to the hospital after he was abandoned by the doctor. At Mimihaji's place, he was treated as a living doctor and prayed for his lungs. Ukitake also survived thanks to him. He also entered the Jingling Court as the God of Death.

Speaking of this, Ukitake Jushiro spit out a lot of blood from his mouth. Kuchiki Rukia wanted to run over, but he stopped her.

"Don't panic, my lungs have been attached to Master Mimihaji's power.".

Chapter 159: Useless Fight

"This power will extend to the whole body. This is the ritual of the divine robe.".

Ukitake Jushiro covered his mouth, a large amount of blood oozing out from his fingers. He gasped and said: "Now, all the organs in my body belong to Mimihaki-sama. I donate my internal organs to become Mimihaki." The object of Master Ji's possession."

At this point, he put down his hand and said slowly: "I am the right arm of the Spirit King now."

Black shadows shot straight into the sky. Rukia Kuchiki's face turned pale, and her mouth trembled as she said, "Captain Ukitake, did you anticipate this from the beginning and carry out the divine robe?"

"That's right." Ukitake Jushiro said: "When I knew the reason for my survival, I thought that sooner or later this day would come. The life I once picked up would die for Gotei. That’s what I want.”

Just like Ling Bai said, he had known that there would be such a day, not to replace the Soul King, but to die for Gotei. His body is not a shrine, but a torii. He takes one step and becomes a god, but with his One's own will, one's choice as a human being.

At this time, Ling Bai and the others had arrived at the sky attic where the Soul King was, and Yhwach had not yet pulled out his Annihilation Cross Knife from the Soul King's body.
