Chapter 203 The power of creation, an unprecedented era!
Perhaps it was because the Ishida family was different.
It may also be because Ryugen Ishida cares very much about his son Uryu.
Or maybe it was because, compared to the racial hatred between him and the Shinigami, Ishida Ryugen hated the Quincy's ancestor Yhwach more, and he had been looking for ways to deal with Yhwach.
After Xia Mu said this.
Ryugen Ishida rarely showed any intention of distancing himself. Instead, he took the initiative to ask Xia Mu.
"What have you discovered in Soul Society?"
Xia Mu told Ishida Ryugen what Urahara Kisuke had discovered truthfully, "We haven't discovered much, after all, it hasn't been many years since the farewell."
When the word "holy" reached Ishida Ryugen's ears, his heart trembled again.
Sure enough, the God of Death knew more than he imagined.
Then, he heard Xia Mu say, "However, we did discover something quite important."
"First, in the hearts of those Quincies who died because of the Holy Separation, some substances that have never been seen before appeared. It is a trace amount of...silver!"
Ishida Ryugen's eyes were fixed beneath his glasses.
After his wife's death, he performed an autopsy on her body in order to understand the principles of sanctification and the real cause of his wife's death. With the wealth of the Ishida family and his previous understanding of the Quincy population, he collected many Quincy corpses and secretly studied them.
Among these corpses, he found a common point.
That is, there is special silver in their hearts. This silver is different from ordinary silver and contains a unique power.
Ryugen Ishida wants to figure out what this power is, and has been studying it until now.
Unexpectedly, not only he discovered this, but the Soul Society also discovered this.
Xia Mu continued, "In addition, because your son had been to Soul Society before, we took the opportunity to do some research on his bloodline."
Ishida Ryugen's face immediately turned cold.
He had not expected that someone from Soul Society would actually attack his son. This was something he could not tolerate.
"You don't have to be angry."
Xia Mu said calmly to Ishida Ryugen, "It's your son who took the initiative to cooperate with our research."
"He has learned the truth about his mother's death and has learned holy things."
"So, I have also eliminated the rift between you and your son in disguise. You can now appear before him openly, instead of doing things secretly like before when you clearly wanted to help him."
Ishida Ryugen was stunned again.
This time, his expression became extremely complicated.
"Does Yulong already know everything?"
He didn't expect that this would happen.
He didn't blame the Grim Reaper for telling the truth to Uryū.
After all, some things aren't really secrets.
As long as you check, you will eventually know the answer.
In the past, he was reluctant to tell Yulong the truth because Yulong was too young at that time and should not have to bear so many things.
Xia Mu returned to the topic and continued to talk about the discoveries in Soul Society. "Through the research on your son's bloodline, we found that he is not just an ordinary half-blood Quincy. There is also a trace amount of silver in his blood. This silver is exactly the same as the silver found in the hearts of Quincy who died in the Holy Separation."
"If it's not a coincidence."
"There must be a reason why he was able to survive back then."
"He is very special!"
Ishida Ryugen was silent. Of course he knew that Uryu was special.
It is because of Yulong’s specialness.
That's why he has been conducting research.
He was unable to protect his wife back then, and now, he only wants to protect his son.
"So, you came here to tell me this?"
After spending some time to calm down his complicated emotions, Ishida Ryugen asked Xia Mu again.
"Yes."
Xia Mu nodded. "No matter what, you are Ishida Uryu's guardian. We have to inform you if we conduct research on him privately. Even if we have obtained the consent of Ishida Uryu, he is not yet an adult, right?"
Ishida Ryugen was silent, and then said to Xia Mu in a strange tone: "You really trust me. I am a Quincy. Aren't you afraid that I will sell the results of your research to that guy?"
"If you really don't care about your wife's death and your son's life, with your status as a pure-blooded Quincy, you can indeed join that guy's army, and even get a place in that knight order. But compared to this kind of thing, I am more convinced that the Quincy of the Ishida family is different."
Within the Quincy race, there are two completely different kinds of Quincy.
One is the Quincy led by Yhwach, and the other is the Quincy of the Ishida family.
Ishida Ryugen didn't say anything.
He heard trust in the words of the god of death.
Xia Mu then talked about another matter.
"Under the command of the founder of the Quincy, there was a knight order called the Stern Cross Knights. In addition to the abilities of regular Quincy, every member of the knight order has their own special abilities. This ability is called the Holy Word. The method to open the Holy Word is also very simple. All you need to do is drink the Soul Blood Wine given by Youhabach, and you can engrave the Holy Word in your body and gain that power."
"What do you want to say?" Ishida Ryugen asked in a deep voice.
What Xia Mu said is actually a secret. Even among the Quincy, only the most core ones know it.
And the Ishida family happened to know something about this.
Because the Ishida family was once a member of the Stern Cross Knights, but later voluntarily withdrew from there.
"We have studied that guy's past and found some extremely secret records. When he was first born, he couldn't see, hear, or move, but he possessed an extremely special ability."
“That’s the gift of soul.”
"He can give souls to anyone who comes into contact with him, and anyone who receives his soul will have their body's defects completed."
"As a price, those who are completed will soon have everything taken away by Yhwach."
"Does this method sound familiar to you?"
"It's similar to the behavior of the underworld in lending and collecting loans, and it's even more cruel than the 13th return of 9 out."
Ishida Ryugen's eyes flickered.
Next to Xia Mu, Ye Yi, who was sitting on the sofa, also looked at Xia Mu with a fixed gaze and surprise.
When Natsuki and Ishida Ryugen started talking, she was in a state of surprise. As for the conversation with Kurosaki Isshin, it was still understandable. After all, according to Natsuki, he and Urahara Kisuke had helped Kurosaki Isshin in the past and witnessed some things. They knew from the beginning that Kurosaki Ichigo was special.
But now, the information revealed in the conversation with Ryugen Ishida was a little too explosive.
It seemed like Xia Mu knew everything.
He even knew about Yhwach's abilities.
Moreover, if Xia Mu had not taken the initiative to bring her here, she would not have known that the Quincy in front of her was actually hostile to Yhwach.
The opponent's son, Ishida Uryu, a Quincy who looks to be of average strength, seems to be hiding a huge secret in his body.
Looking at Ishida Ryugen who did not respond, Xia Mu continued, "The Quincy is a race that was born through the soul distribution of that guy. After a long period of reproduction, even if the current Quincy has not received the direct gift of that guy, the power of that guy still exists in their blood. This allows that guy to perform a large-scale ritual such as sanctification when necessary, devour the souls of all the Quincy, plunder their power, and thus strengthen himself."
"And the opening of the holy text is similar to the other party's initial gift of soul. Drinking the wine containing that guy's soul and blood will gain powerful power. I speculate that this power does not come from that guy, but is a powerful power hidden in the body of the Quincy itself."
"That guy's soul and blood, just like the one that made up for the defects of other people's bodies, is a key that helps the Quincy quickly tap into the power that already exists."
"After all, this is the world of the soul, and our souls contain extremely powerful powers."
"The god of death uses his Zanpakutō as a medium to awaken the power that already exists in the soul. When this power is revealed, it becomes the god of death's Shikai and Bankai."
"Hypostasis can also develop various special abilities through evolution."
"Quincy is also part of this world. It doesn't make sense that they only get power from that guy. The Holy Words should be a power that belongs to every Quincy. It's just that because there is no medium, it is extremely difficult to awaken this power."
"But your son seems to have awakened this power!"
"The fact that he was able to survive the holiness and the silver that appeared in his blood is proof of that!"
"Ishida Ryugen, I want you to train your son and have him actively cooperate with our research in Soul Society. If my guess is correct, if we can further tap into that power, your son may become an extremely important existence in fighting against that guy."
"If you leave it alone like this, sooner or later, that guy will come back and target your son."
"At that time, your son was the nemesis of that guy, and he would definitely not let your son go."
"..."
……
At the Ishida family, Natsuki and Ishida Ryugen talked a lot.
Then, he left the Ishida family with Yoruichi.
On the way out.
Ye Yi looked at Xia Mu in front of him and had a lot to say.
But in the end, these words were hidden in my heart.
She didn't know where to begin.
This is mainly because Xia Mu’s words revealed too many secrets.
Since I don’t know where to start, it’s better not to say anything.
But what is certain is that Xia Mu did start preparing for a rainy day a long time ago.
Regardless of the discovery of the space hidden in the shadow of Soul Society.
It’s still about dealing with the Youhabach crisis.
Thinking this way, even if a war really happens in the future, it will not turn into the worst case scenario.
"Where shall we go next?"
I've talked to both fathers, Kurosaki Isshin and Ishida Ryugen.
Yoruichi then asked about Natsuki's next destination.
She thought Xia Mu would take her to continue wandering in the real world.
"Of course, we're going back to Soul Society."
Xia Mu turned his head and glanced at Ye Yi.
"Or do you plan to continue staying in the world?"
Ye Yi was stunned. He didn't expect Xia Mu to say such a thing.
She certainly had no intention of staying in the real world. So, after the real world affairs were resolved, the two returned to the Soul Society.
The first thing I did after returning was to attend a meeting.
After all, the matter in the Valley has been dealt with, and Yan Long is already dead. The Soul Society does not know the details of these things, so of course they have to be recorded and then sealed as an archive.
Captains' meetings are extremely boring.
After reporting the specific details.
Xia Mu returned to the 11th Squadron.
After staying in the real world for a few days, I couldn't help but feel a little different when I returned to my own team.
Xia Mu enjoyed the brief peace.
In my mind, I was recalling my experience in Jiaogu.
In the Calling Valley, he absorbed a lot of owed souls.
This boosted his strength a bit.
But for Xia Mu, the biggest gain was not this.
But...the ability to create space.
It is called Gu, or "emptiness", which is an extremely special phenomenon.
When a soul is lost in the Dangai, unable to return to the real world, unable to go to the Soul Society, and has never fallen into the Hueco Mundo, this is transcending the cycle of reincarnation. When many such souls gather together, they will form a new space.
After this space becomes stable, the energy and memory within it will be separated, re-enter the cycle of reincarnation, and form a new soul.
The space is preserved.
However, compared with normal space, this kind of space does not have the existence of leptons and is extremely fragile.
This is a natural phenomenon.
But for Xia Mu, because he had personally entered that kind of space and devoured the soul, he understood the principles of the formation of this kind of space.
"Perhaps, I can also use this method to create a space."
Since the separation of the three realms.
Everything in this world is made up of spirit particles.
Even if there is a space without leptons, the matter within it is essentially inorganic matter composed of leptons.
The only difference is that there is no soul inside.
The Quincy has the ability to manipulate leptons, so they can create lepton space. The original Invisible Empire was such a space.
Natsuki's Zanpakutō gave him the ability to control spirit particles comparable to that of a Quincy. Logically speaking, he could also create spirit particle space.
But the reality is that he doesn't know the principles behind it, so he can't make it.
But now it’s different. After knowing the principle of the formation of emptiness, Xia Mu decisively tried it.
Time passed quietly.
Just when Xia Mu was immersed in the power of creation.
The Gotei 13 had been busy for a long time.
Finally, I finished the finishing work of some things.
Aizen had previously sparked a turmoil, but it eventually came to an end.
Regardless of whether the remaining nobles are willing to accept it or not.
The decline of the nobility has become an established fact.
If we say that after the Central Forty-six Chambers were massacred, the new Central Forty-six Chambers were not formed for a long time, it was like lifting some fig leaves of the nobles and exposing their weakness, but they never changed their ambition to regain power.
Well now, their ambitions have been completely shattered.
Of course, there are some ambitious guys among the remaining nobles.
They were eager to enter the Central Forty-Sixth Room.
But in the past, they didn't have this opportunity.
Now, it's even more impossible.
Not to mention, the five great nobles had long since changed their stance, completely delegated power, and even actively integrated into the civilian population. Without the support of these great nobles, it would be even more impossible for them to realize their ambitions.
It is worth mentioning that the five great nobles are actually no longer appropriate.
Ever since Aizen manipulated the young leader Tsunayashiro to do those things.
After a joint meeting of the Kuchiki, Shiba, and Shihoin families, a resolution was finally passed.
That is, to deprive Tsunayashiro of his status as a great noble.
This has never happened before.
Since the birth of the world, the five great nobles have always stood at the top of the world.
The history of Soul Society is the history of the nobility.
But now, this pattern is about to be broken.
The Tsunayashiro family will become the first great noble to be stripped of their status.
However, considering what the Tsunayashiro family had done before, this doesn't seem surprising.
Since Tsunayashiro Tokinada, the Tsunayashiro family has never done anything good.
Their ancestors even wanted to crawl out of hell and destroy the existing order of this world.
After that incident, the Tsunayashiro family fell into decline.
If they had continued to behave themselves and be honest, there would have been a place for them in Soul Society.
But they couldn't help but be drawn into the chaos created by Aizen.
Was it the Tsunayashiro family that colluded with Aizen first? Or was it Aizen who manipulated the Tsunayashiro family first? The answer is actually not important.
The important thing is that so many nobles died because of the Tsunayashiro family, and many nobles were even wiped out. Someone must be the scapegoat.
Tsunayashiro family is the most suitable person to take the blame.
First of all, their status is high enough.
Secondly, they are now completely in decline.
Considering the various evil deeds their family has committed, if they continue to be given the status of great nobles, no one can tell what they will do with the help of their status as great nobles, so it is better to revoke their privileges.
After the Tsunayashiro family was expelled from the Seireitei.
The affairs of the nobility were barely brought to an end.
Afterwards, what the Gotei 13 discussed was how to deal with Aizen.
What happened in the broken world before can only be regarded as an accident and a small episode.
Dealing with Aizen is the most important thing at the moment.
In the team leader's room.
This was different from the last meeting that Natsuki Yoruichi held after returning from the human world.
All the deputy captains also participated in this meeting.
But the attitude shown by Captain Yamamoto was completely different.
"The rebellious Aizen has been so arrogant that he committed a crime in the Soul Society, and even spoke nonsense in front of us. This matter cannot be let go like this."
"Before, because the situation in Hueco Mundo was complicated, even though we had discovered the emergence of a special Hollow in Hueco Mundo many years ago, we did not rashly explore Hueco Mundo. We just kept a close eye on the present world, guarding against the reappearance of that special Hollow."
"But I didn't expect that Aizen would be so bold and presumptuous."
"I suggest that we reorganize the expeditionary force, investigate the truth of Hueco Mundo, and eliminate this traitor Aizen before he makes trouble again!"
Captain Yamamoto has always had a hot temper.
However, in recent years, for the sake of the overall situation, we have gradually begun to seek stability.
One day, when he realized that playing it safe could not solve the problem, he decisively reverted to his hot-tempered personality.
After hearing what Captain Yamamoto said, each captain expressed their opinions one after another.
Some people suggested that they should play it safe first, such as investigating Aizen's purpose and then taking corresponding actions.
Although Aizen had previously caused a huge disturbance in Soul Society, and his crimes had reached the point of being unforgivable, but precisely because of this, they must not lose their minds and act rashly, as this might play into Aizen's hands and lead them into his new trap.
You know, since Aizen escaped, he has been hiding in the Hueco Mundo.
After so many years, no one knows what preparations Aizen made in Hueco Mundo.
It is necessary to seek stability.
There are also people like Captain Yamamoto who cannot tolerate rebels being at large.
If we continue to leave this situation alone, Aizen might do something even worse.
You know, Seireitei is surrounded by walls made of murderous stones, and there is a soul-blocking membrane on top. No hollow has ever invaded Seireitei, but in front of Aizen, Seireitei's impregnable defense was useless.
First, the Hollows appeared in Seireitei.
Afterwards, Aizen caused the aristocratic group to completely decline.
Although for a death god who was born as a commoner, this is actually a good thing.
But for the stability of Soul Society, they must get rid of Aizen, the external enemy.
If what Aizen said is true.
A few months later, it would be his time to "become a god", but obviously, they couldn't just sit there and wait.
"Captain Xia Mu, what is your opinion?"
At this moment, Ukitake Jushiro spoke and took the initiative to ask Xia Mu.
Then, everyone's attention shifted to Xia Mu again.
Among all the people present, Natsuki was the one who had the most dealings with Aizen.
Whether it was revealing Aizen’s true identity and forcing Aizen to escape and leave Soul Society.
In the previous battle on the Hill of Double Death, it was Natsuki who turned the tide and dealt a heavy blow to Aizen.
It can be said that when even the captain-general can be affected by Aizen's Kyouka Suigetsu, Natsuki is the real main force against Aizen.
Therefore, at this time, Kenpachi's opinion is crucial.
