Chapter 112 Fire! Fire!
This time, Xia Mu personally found Captain Yamamoto.
No longer let Ye Yi be a mouthpiece.
In the eyes of many people, Captain Yamamoto is a very serious person, but in fact, seriousness is just a disguise on the outside. Xia Mu and Captain Yamamoto are very familiar with each other. After all, Xia Mu once studied Hakuto with Captain Yamamoto for a period of time, so he can barely be regarded as half a disciple of Captain Yamamoto.
"Natsuki Kenpachi, you came to see me, is there something urgent?"
No one comes here for no reason. As the captain of the Gotei 13 and the captain of the 11th Division which is only responsible for combat, Natsuki came here on his own initiative. There must be something extraordinary going on.
"I want to ask the captain to show me something."
Xia Mu kept the question in suspense.
"Oh?"
Captain Yamamoto showed a hint of doubt.
The location for testing the Kidō Cannon was not chosen in Rukongai.
Seireitei is already big enough.
Unless it is a battle that causes a lot of noise, generally speaking, not many people will notice some battles taking place in the Soul Society. This is also the reason why in the original work, when Ichigo Kurosaki and other travelers invaded, many captains used Bankai in the Soul Society without causing much noise.
Of course, if it was a Bankai like Kenpachi Kuriyashiki, that would be a different matter. It would not be surprising that his Bankai would be banned.
The coverage area with a radius of several spirit miles is really too terrifying.
However, now we can only reminisce about them, after all, they are all dead.
On an open space near the Double Death Hill.
When the captain followed Xia Mu here, several criminal soldiers had already set up the ghost cannon in advance.
Xia Mu explained to Captain Yamamoto, "This thing was made by a genius from the second squad, so I asked the criminal army to help move it."
Captain Yamamoto didn't say much.
He knew that Xia Mu was close to the Shihouin family.
Of course, there is no intention to prohibit it.
Although it is true that he is the captain-general, as long as the other captains do not violate the rules of the Gotei 13 and do not betray Soul Society, even he cannot interfere with the private behavior of the other captains.
This is also the reason why he didn't care even though he couldn't stand Kyoraku Shunsui's lazy nature.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Xia Mu looked at several criminal soldiers and said something.
He brought the captain to the front of the Ghost Cannon.
He continued to say to the captain: "The captain also knows that the fighting ability of the lower-level death gods is limited. If one can achieve something in one of the two skills, and his spiritual power is slightly qualified, he can serve as a chief officer."
"However, this is only in theory."
"Many more team members have difficulty achieving anything in their entire lives, and their combat mortality rate is also the highest."
"So, I asked a friend from the second squad to make this thing."
The unnecessary words had actually been explained before in front of Urahara Kisuke and Yoruichi, but in front of the captain-general, Natsuki did not explain much.
He stepped forward and injected his spiritual power directly into the Ghost Cannon.
A deep blue light emerged.
Finally, an electric arc condensed at the muzzle and the Thunder Roar Cannon was released.
boom! !
The Thunder Roar Cannon landed on a not-so-high hill in front, making a roaring sound, and gravel, smoke and dust kept flying everywhere.
"Interesting stuff, but its power seems average."
Since Captain Yamamoto followed Natsuki here, he has been in a wait-and-see state and did not say much. It was not until this moment, after Natsuki tested the Ghost Cannon, that he gave his evaluation.
"For us, the power is naturally average, but for the lower-level soldiers, without sufficient ghost talent and insufficient spiritual power, it is actually very difficult for them to perform this level of ghost skills."
As he spoke, Xia Mu revealed the true function of the Ghost Dao Cannon, "This thing can gather the power of everyone and work together to perform the Ghost Dao!"
Captain Yamamoto's eyes narrowed.
"!!!"
As the captain of the Gotei 13, Yamamoto is certainly not a reckless man who only knows how to fight and chop people, and his IQ is not low.
I witnessed the power of the Kidō Cannon with my own eyes, and what Xia Mu said.
He immediately understood what the greatest use of the Ghost Cannon was.
It can effectively improve the combat capabilities of low-level Death Gods.
If the strength of one person is not enough, then combine the strength of ten or a hundred people.
Kidō, as one of the four abilities of the God of Death, is definitely not a decoration. If a high-level Kidō can be performed, its power is even stronger than that of many Zanpakuto.
"I take it back, this seems like pretty good stuff."
Captain Yamamoto said this very seriously.
Relying on tools to perform ghost arts, or in other words, engraving ghost arts on certain special props, such things certainly exist in Soul Society, especially in the Shihouin family, which is known as the Heaven-given Heroes, which possesses many such artifacts.
However, the practice of turning Kidō into a weapon and distributing it to the ordinary Shinigami of the Gotei 13 in order to use this special weapon to enhance their combat effectiveness has never happened before.
This is what Xia Mu took out.
This immediately gave Captain Yamamoto a new idea.
There is no need to study things like the Tapir Knife at all.
If we can find a completely new way to use Kidō, it will be enough to enhance the overall strength of the Gotei 13.
The ghost way is not something that can only be performed by people with strong spiritual power and talent above the ghost way.
Among the ghost methods, there are many people who use the same ghost method at the same time to enhance its power.
So, why can't the Gotei 13 gather everyone's strength to perform Kidō?
It doesn't seem to matter whether or not one has the talent for ghost ways.
As long as the ghost path is set on a specific container in advance and then spiritual power is injected into it, it can be activated.
"I wonder who created this thing?" After asking Xia Mu about the principle of this thing, it sounded like it was not too difficult, but it could be made. This made Captain Yamamoto interested in its creator.
"Fifth seat of the second division, Urahara Kisuke!"
Xia Mu said a name.
This was also the first time that Captain Yamamoto heard the name Urahara Kisuke.
……
In Soul Society, there actually are Kidō Cannons, but the Kidō Cannons in Soul Society are essentially special devices like the Bipolar Spear. They are usually sealed and will only be activated when needed.
It is a special weapon used to destroy space.
The power is naturally huge, but it is not something that ordinary people can use at all, and there are very serious consequences after using it, so it is basically in a banned state, and it will only be used in extremely critical moments.
For this reason, the promotion of this civilian version of the Kidō Cannon made by Kisuke Urahara was very successful.
After inspecting the Kidō Cannon, Hikifune Kiryu of the 12th Division concluded that the manufacturing principle of this thing was not particularly complicated, but it was ingenious and unique in conception. Except for the fact that it was necessary to inject enough spiritual power into it during use to activate the Kidō engraved in it, there were not too many side effects.
The Ghost Cannon was verified by the Central Room 46.
It was then officially promoted among the Gotei 13.
It was also after the appearance of the Ghost Cannon.
The 11th Squadron's fighting style began to change.
When the Hollows appeared in Rukongai.
The members of the 11th Division attacked.
But this time, in addition to the team members rushing towards Rukongai, there were also team members carrying Kidō cannons and heading towards that direction.
This thing is quite large and is actually a bit inconvenient to carry.
If the kind of portable spirit sub-space props like Urahara Kisuke's could be popularized, this problem could be solved.
But that kind of thing is really difficult to make.
Moreover, the material that can support a small spiritual space without collapsing itself is not an ordinary material. It is extremely precious.
Instead of thinking about making that thing, it would be better to find a way to optimize the Ghost Cannon.
At the beginning, Natsuki used the cannon of the Shiba family and its large caliber to allow Urahara Kisuke to create the Kidō Cannon, but now it seems that the cannon is still too large and inconvenient to carry.
"Perhaps, we can change our thinking."
Xia Mu couldn't help but think.
The members of the 11th Division were unaware of their captain's thoughts, in the wilderness of Rukongai.
The officer in charge took the lead in fighting with Xu who appeared here.
However, the ordinary soldiers in the rear did not charge forward as they did in the past to assist the officer in killing the Hollow, but instead set up the Ghost Cannon.
Wait until the Ghost Cannon is set up.
A team member immediately reminded the officer fighting in the front.
So Xi Guan used the instant step and dodged to the side.
Several ordinary soldiers held the rope extending from the end of the Kidō Cannon and injected their own spiritual power into the rope. Through the special rope, the spiritual power gathered into the Kidō Cannon.
The sound of thunder echoed.
boom! !
A huge ball of thunder flew out rapidly and landed on a virtual being.
It was just because he moved a little that he missed the vital point.
However, even so, this Xu was seriously injured.
More spiritual power is injected.
The second thunder cannon was quickly condensed.
The coverage area of the Thunder Roar Cannon was not small in itself. Another Thunder Roar Cannon was released and fell into the group of Voids, covering several Voids.
The roar continued to echo.
In the past, ordinary soldiers who could not help much in battles and could only risk their lives to gain opportunities for the chief officer are now of great use in battles. They have become the providers of spiritual power and continuously charge the Ghost Cannon.
Under the gunner's control, the muzzle of the Ghost Cannon was constantly adjusted to aim at the direction with the most voids.
Several rounds of thunder cannon fire.
The number of Voids was immediately reduced, and some of the Voids that were not dead were also injured.
When many team members' spiritual power is over-consumed.
The officers who were watching from the sidelines were not idle either. They stepped forward and fought with the injured Xu to finish him off.
……
Time passes day by day.
The changes brought about by the Kidō Cannon are silently affecting the entire Gotei 13.
Division 12.
In addition to researching various advanced technologies, it is also responsible for monitoring the appearance of hollows in various places and compiling statistics on some situations of each squad.
"The casualty rate has been very low recently!"
Hikifune Kiryu flipped through the report in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.
In recent times, there have been quite a few Hollows appearing in Soul Society.
According to data from previous years, even if the captain and the chief officer take action, there will still be a considerable number of casualties among the lower-level team members.
But recently, the casualty rate has dropped dramatically.
Of course Hikifune Kiryu knew what this was.
"Urahara Kisuke? It seems a bit of a pity for such a genius to stay in the second team!"
In the Bleach movie "Memories of No One", there is a Kidō Cannon, which is similar to the Bipolar Spear and has great power. After being activated, it is said that it can directly destroy the small world called "Jiaogu" in the Broken World, but it has never appeared in the drama.
