Chapter 19: Views on Void

Xia Mu's spiritual perception is very powerful.

His powerful spiritual perception comes from his perfect control over his own spiritual power.

When he traveled to this world, he did not have a system, but that did not mean he was ordinary.

As soon as he grasped his Zanpakutō, he swung it and killed the Hollow.

Later, he discovered that his Zanpakutō had the ability to absorb spiritual particles and increase his own spiritual power. These were the things that helped Natsuki survive in this world and become stronger, but they were not all his trump cards.

In addition, after learning the way of ghosts, he found that he could perfectly control his own spiritual power.

Therefore, he was able to easily master the ability of the Ghost Path.

And this is just the internal manifestation of this ability.

To the outside world, it is an extremely powerful spiritual perception.

The Soul Society needs the help of spiritual wave monitoring devices to monitor spiritual wave reactions, but Xia Mu can sense many things with his own spiritual perception.

Even though the spiritual pressure he sensed was very weak at this moment, he instantly discovered who it belonged to.

Kenpachi Zaraki!

The current captain of the 11th Division, the eighth Kenpachi, is also Natsuki's captain.

Since taking office as captain, Kenpachi Zaraki has rarely been seen except for necessary battles. As the third seat, Natsuki rarely sees him when he goes to the captain's room to assist vice-captain Gosuke in handling team affairs.

The other party lives a reclusive life and his whereabouts are mysterious.

Of course, Xia Mu was also a little curious about what the other party was doing.

At this moment, in Rukongai, he could not help but feel curious when he sensed the spiritual pressure of Kenpachi Zaraki, who was supposed to be in Seireitei.

What worried him even more was that Kenpachi Zaraki's spiritual pressure was very scattered.

They are scattered on the trees and stones, but if you feel carefully, you will find that they are in a straight line, extending deep into Rukongai.

Using the instant step technique, Xia Mu followed his spiritual perception and moved forward quickly.

But soon, he stopped again.

It was just because, in front of the road, a figure with a stern expression and wearing white clothes was blocking the way.

"Captain Mole City!"

After seeing the other person, Xia Mu greeted him in a calm tone.

"Sanxi Natsuki, why are you here?" Kenpachi Zaraki spoke indifferently, without any intention of polite greeting. He was always so direct, just like when he appeared in front of Kenpachi Kurayashiki and challenged him.

"I happened to be on a mission nearby. After killing the invading Hollow, I was preparing to return to Soul Society. On the way, I sensed your spiritual pressure, Captain Zaraki, so I was a little surprised and came to take a look." Natsuki answered calmly. He did not ask why Kenpachi Zaraki appeared here.

Of course, it is inevitable that some speculations will arise from the bottom of one's heart.

"Is that so?" Kenpachi Zaraki knew the reason, his eyes flickered, and suddenly, he took the initiative to mention something to Natsuki, "I heard that Natsuki Sanshi returned to Soul Society from the expeditionary force?"

"Yes." Natsuki nodded. His origins were not a secret in the 11th Division. Some people knew about it. As he became the third officer, he became a celebrity in the 11th Division, and more people knew about it. "The expeditionary army has been fighting Hollows in Hueco Mundo for a long time. Third Officer Natsuki must know something about Hollows?" Kenpachi Zaraki took the initiative to mention the matter about Hollows again.

“I know a thing or two.”

Xia Mu immediately told him what he knew about Hollows, such as how Hollows were created and the classification of their levels. After he had just said a little, Kenpachi Zaraki interrupted him and said, "I know what you said. What I want to ask is what you think about Hollows."

"What do you think of Hollows?" Xia Mu was a little surprised. "Could it be that Captain Zaraki has a different opinion about Hollows?"

He did not directly mention his own opinion, but instead asked Kenpachi Zaraki.

Because he had a feeling that Kenpachi Zaraki was not asking him these questions randomly, and there seemed to be some hidden purpose. If he could figure out the purpose, perhaps he could find out Kenpachi Zaraki's purpose.

"Don't you think that Hollows shouldn't exist in this world at all?" Kenpachi Zaraki spoke coldly, his words were extremely decisive.

Xia Mu felt a chill in his heart and a chill that penetrated his bones.

"It is the wrong evolutionary path of the soul. This wrong evolution has made them gain extremely powerful strength. In order to fill the void in their souls, they wantonly devour their own kind and normal souls, thus destroying the order and balance between souls."

"What evil creatures these are! They shouldn't exist in this world."

Hearing this, Xia Mu finally couldn't help but speak, "That's why we, the God of Death, are needed, right? It is precisely because of the evil of the Hollow that we, the God of Death, wield our swords to fight against it and purify it."

Zaraki Kenpachi said: "You are right. The meaning of our existence as Death Gods is to fight against the Hollows and maintain this order and balance."

"But the number of Death Gods is limited after all, while Hollows are different. As long as human desires exist, new Hollows will be spawned all the time. Even Death Gods will be killed and die when facing a huge number of Hollows. If the number of Hollows is allowed to continue to grow endlessly, sooner or later, all Death Gods will perish and cease to exist."

"What does Captain Zaraki mean?" Natsuki narrowed his eyes slightly and asked Kenpachi Zaraki another question.

"Souls that evolved incorrectly have powerful powers, while lawful and just souls have no power at all. What an unfair world this is! How great it would be if the souls living in Rukongai could also possess powers comparable to those of Hollows." A heartfelt sigh came from Kenpachi Zaraki's mouth.

Xia Mu was silent for a while, then said, "Although Captain Zaraki has good intentions, this world is so unfair. Among the countless souls, there are only a few souls that have the qualifications to become Death Gods, and the vast majority of them do not have spiritual power. They cannot obtain the power to compete with the Hollows."

Kenpachi Zaraki was also silent.

He wanted to say something else, but finally restrained himself.

He changed his tone and said to Xia Mu, "You can go now."

Xia Mu looked at Kenpachi Zaraki deeply, but without saying anything more, he turned around and left.

Kenpachi Zaraki was still standing here, watching Natsuki leave. Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded in his ears.

"Ah, you really think highly of him. You actually told him so much. Could it be that after becoming Kenpachi, you really want to fulfill your duties as captain and recruit some subordinates?"

There was a hint of mockery in the woman's voice.

Kenpachi Zaraki remained expressionless and answered calmly.

"I just saw him and wanted to ask him what he thought."

After saying this, he did not respond even though the woman kept chattering in his ear.
