Chapter 213 Accident
Just like before, when Xia Mu's palm was about to touch the broken jade, the destructive force grew, trying to destroy Xia Mu's palm.
However, this time it was different.
Natsuki used his Bankai ability.
His Bankai can be understood as tampering with fate. Everything in the world, past and future, can be tampered with as long as his power is strong enough. Everything is like a painting, and he can use this power to paint it at will. He is like the writer of the history book of time.
And this ability, if it is an idea, can evolve into distortion and grafting.
For example, the terrifying destructive force that erupted from the Hogyoku, after Natsuki used special techniques to distort it, this force not only failed to affect Natsuki himself, but was transferred to Aizen's body.
This is somewhat similar to Haschwald's world harmony and Ishida Uryu's complete opposition.
But it is not power without cost.
The price he paid was that Xia Mu's spiritual power was reduced once again.
But he didn't really care.
Apart from the fact that his spiritual power was incomparably strong, this place was also next to the ruins of the Great Void Forest. Xia Mu had previously used a special method to destroy the entire Great Void Forest. In this battle, countless virtual beings died, and their spiritual particles were now scattered between heaven and earth. It could be said that the tiankeng above the Great Void Forest was now filled with extremely rich spiritual particles. As long as Xia Mu was willing, he could replenish his own consumption with the help of these methods with just a thought.
If all else fails, he still has the spiritual sword made by Urahara Kisuke in the past.
When traveling, you should still bring a power bank or something like that with you, just in case something goes wrong.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"
Aizen was enduring the strange attacks launched by Natsuki. He kept using his strength to try to resist, but he didn't know where this power came from and he had no way to resist it. He could only rely on his super-fast regeneration ability to withstand the damage.
We were holding on well, but unexpectedly, a new accident happened at this time.
An even more terrifying destructive force appeared in his body.
Above this power, he even felt an extremely familiar aura.
This is the power of Collapse Jade.
This is his own power.
If Xia Mu had absorbed the virtual flash he released and then bounced it back, it would still be understandable.
Many Zanpakutō have similar abilities.
Like Ukitake Jushiro's Pisces theory, it can absorb and then rebound.
But now, this power has gradually become difficult to understand.
It seems that it is trying to kill the host with its own power.
Even Bengyu's not-so-bright intelligence was confused for a moment.
Then, it began to release power to repair Aizen's body and eliminate the destructive power that appeared in his body. Then, new destructive power was released to devour Xia Mu in front of it.
The level of Beng Yu's power is extremely high.
But unfortunately, Natsuki's Zanpakuto, in terms of level alone, is not inferior to the Hogyoku, and is even one level higher than the Hogyoku. After all, Higan once absorbed a Hogyoku.
The power of destruction was twisted and grafted again.
For a moment, Aizen felt that life was worse than death.
The power of destruction raged in his body, and the Hogyoku repaired it. During this period, the Hogyoku released the power of destruction again to attack Natsuki, and Natsuki transferred the attack to Aizen's body.
This cycle repeats itself, and the power of the broken jade is offset by the contradictions.
puff!
Natsuki's palm suddenly pierced into Aizen's body as if it was an empty place.
Finally, he touched the body of the Broken Jade.
"Come out!"
Click, click!
The surrounding space shattered in an instant.
A powerful force enveloped Xia Mu's body. At that moment, everything within three feet around him was distorted and turned into chaos. As long as he had a thought, everything around him would be reorganized according to his ideas.
At this moment, he was a true god.
The Hogyoku, which had originally merged into Aizen's body and completely became one with him, separated from Aizen's body in an instant as Natsuki circulated its power.
Aizen was enduring pain that was hard to describe in words, and was trying to endure it, and tried to attack Natsuki, but all the attacks on Natsuki mysteriously disappeared. If it were just this, it would not be a big deal.
What Aizen could not accept the most was that Natsuki dug out his Hogyoku.
"My Broken Jade!"
"Let him go!"
"I'll teach you to let him go!"
After Natsuki dug out the Hougyoku in his body, Aizen did not carefully sense the changes in his body, as his defense was completely broken.
The Broken Jade is a miracle that he spent countless years to create.
In order to perfect the Broken Jade, he did a lot of things.
He conspired with the founder of the Tsunayashiro family, betrayed Soul Society, conducted countless research in Hueco Mundo, and slaughtered nearly 90% of the nobles in Soul Society. Why did he do all these things? It was to complete the Hougyoku, satisfy the Hougyoku, and then use the power of the Hougyoku to evolve himself.
As a result, the broken jade in his body was forcibly stripped out.
This was unacceptable to Aizen.
Natsuki ignored Aizen.
After using many means to successfully dig out the Hougyoku from Aizen's body, he just felt that it was too difficult.
Now, it's time to enjoy the harvest.
As for whether Aizen will die after losing the Hogyoku?
Xia Mu didn't care either.
Perhaps in the previous two battles, Aizen used special methods to escape from him, but this does not mean that Natsuki has any sympathy for Aizen.
If you read the original work, Aizen is indeed a very charming person. He has many fans, who regard some of what he says as the truth.
But we really live in such a world.
When Aizen appeared beside him, it was still difficult not to feel fear towards such a person.
Aizen's existence is like a well-camouflaged poisonous snake. No one knows when he will bite you.
Therefore, when Aizen had stood on the opposite side of him and had become his enemy, if there was a chance to get rid of Aizen, Natsuki certainly did not want to let him go.
He held the broken jade in one hand.
With the other hand, he swung the silver-white Zanpakutō.
He decided to imitate how he dealt with Urahara Kisuke's Hogyoku. He would use the power of Bankai to destroy the exterior of the Hogyoku and devour its power.
However, just as the power of his Zanpakuto enveloped the Hogyoku.
Before Xia Mu's ability is about to destroy the Houyu.
This broken jade disappeared first.
"!!!"
Aizen was angry because the Hogyoku in his body was taken away by Natsuki using strange means.
Suddenly, he felt a familiar force appear in his body.
"This is... Collapse Jade."
The Hogyoku actually returned to his body again, which surprised Aizen.
Ever since he used nearly 90% of the nobles of Soul Society as sacrifices to completely complete the Hogyoku, Aizen chose to completely integrate the Hogyoku into his own body. However, even so, he had never experienced the scene of the Hogyoku being dug out by someone, nor did he know whether he would lose this power if the Hogyoku really left his body.
So, after seeing Natsuki take out the Hougyoku from his body, Aizen was a little panicked.
And now, after the Hogyoku returned to his body and he felt the will conveyed by the Hogyoku, Aizen's confidence was restored.
"Hahahahaha..."
A crazy smile appeared on his face.
"That's it, that's it!"
When he chose to merge with the Collapse Jade, his soul had completely become one with the Collapse Jade.
Even if Bengyu temporarily leaves his body, as long as the connection remains, Bengyu can return to his body at any time. This is something that no one can change.
As the Hogyoku returned to his body, Aizen found that the connection between himself and the Hogyoku had deepened even more.
Even more powerful force surged out from the collapsed jade, and the strange attack released by Xia Mu and the damage to his body all disappeared in an instant.
Xia Mu also noticed this and frowned slightly.
"Beng Yu!"
All he could think of was the broken jade.
Only the Hogyoku can change Aizen's current predicament.
This thing, in addition to possessing extremely powerful strength, is also an omnipotent wish-making artifact that can fulfill all kinds of wishes.
Well, this is again a power related to the Spirit King.
This is what is meant by omniscience and omnipotence.
Therefore, if there are some outrageous abilities in this world that subvert reality, it is always right to attribute them to the Spirit King.
"Sure enough, the mature Collapse Jade and the newly created Collapse Jade are completely different."
Although they are both Hogyoku, Aizen's Hogyoku and Urahara Kisuke's Hogyoku are different.
Urahara Kisuke's Hogyoku wasn't even mature yet. It was just born when it was feared by Urahara Kisuke and was swallowed by Natsuki's Zanpakuto. However, Aizen's Hogyoku was different.
Perhaps the manufacturing process is different, but the final evolution is the same.
Even without the Hogyoku created by Urahara Kisuke, Aizen eventually completed his own Hogyoku.
And once the jade is completely broken, it is obviously not so easy to destroy.
Natsuki tried twice to seize Aizen's Hogyoku and failed twice. He did not feel any frustration in his heart, but just had a better understanding of Aizen's Hogyoku.
Just as Natsuki was thinking to himself, Aizen also felt the will conveyed by the Hogyoku.
"Power, I need more power."
"Bengyu, please lend me a hand."
The next moment, the power of the Hollow swept out from the Hogyoku, and in an instant, Xia Mu felt a huge amount of spirit particles gathering towards Aizen, and they madly poured into Aizen's body.
For a moment, the wind and sand around also dispersed.
The spirit particles like a tornado stretched from sky to earth, wrapping up Aizen's body.
The Shinigami and Espada who were fighting nearby all felt the changes here, and while fighting, they turned their heads to look over here.
Xia Mu couldn't help but step back a little, looking at the scene in front of him with a fixed gaze.
In his perception, the powerful spirit particles that were originally hovering above the Great Hollow Forest, which were decomposed due to the death of the hollows and had not yet been integrated into the world, all poured into Aizen's body in an instant.
Originally, Xia Mu planned to absorb these spirit particles for his own use during the battle.
However, before he could do so, Aizen did it first.
The spirit storm surrounding Aizen's body began to spread. Even though Xia Mu retreated a little, the speed at which the storm spread was too fast.
In just a moment, his body was wrapped in it.
This is nothing. Even the Shinigami and the Espada who were fighting on the other side were all caught up in this process. If it was said that Natsuki's use of special means to destroy the Great Hollow Forest was a wonder between heaven and earth, then the spirit particle storm released from Aizen at this moment was a wonder created by nature.
The color of heaven and earth changes.
Be it the god of death or the hollow.
In the vast storm, they all felt an extremely terrifying devouring force coming, which wanted to devour everything they had.
Outskirts of the storm.
A crack appeared and the black cavity slowly opened.
Urahara Kisuke walked out of the black cavity, ready to pick up Natsuki and others to go back.
However, as soon as he came out of the black cavity, what he felt was an extremely terrifying devouring force. This force pulled him madly, which made his face change drastically. He looked to the other side of the storm and saw a sinkhole with an unknown area and no boundaries.
"Hueco Mundo, what happened?"
Just at this time.
A deep voice reached Urahara Kisuke's ears.
"Kisuke."
"Xia Mu, where are you?"
Urahara Kisuke was immediately excited when he heard his friend's familiar voice.
"I won't say anything more. The situation is extremely dangerous and the situation in Hueco Mundo is extremely complicated. You should take these guys back."
As he was speaking, Urahara Kisuke suddenly discovered that a passage had emerged in the spirit particle storm raging in front of him, and then a group of people flew out from it one after another.
They landed in front of Urahara Kisuke and immediately became confused.
"What happened?"
The last moment, they were still fighting with those Espada.
The result was that a massive storm of spirit particles swept over and engulfed them.
They and their respective opponents all felt the terrifying devouring power coming, wanting to devour them completely.
They fought hard, but there was nothing they could do.
Just at this moment, they suddenly came out.
And he appeared in front of Urahara Kisuke.
"Captain Urahara?"
Someone greeted Urahara Kisuke.
"Stop talking nonsense and come with me."
Urahara Kisuke thought of what Natsuki said and quickly spoke to the people in front of him.
Everyone was also awed when they heard the seriousness in Urahara Kisuke's words.
Then, without hesitation, they all followed Urahara Kisuke into the black cavity.
"Are all of them here?"
Urahara Kisuke asked everyone again.
"Wait, the captain, the captain hasn't come yet."
Matsumoto Rangiku spoke quickly.
Urahara Kisuke also frowned.
"Don't worry about me, you guys go first."
At the critical moment, Natsuki's words once again reached Urahara Kisuke's ears. No, not only Urahara Kisuke, everyone heard this sentence.
What comes with it is a magnificent force.
Just like sending them out of the spirit particle storm before.
This force pushed them further into the depths of the black cavity.
The spirit particle storm expands.
The black cavity was healed.
Only the mighty storm continued to expand to further distances, and everything in its path was swallowed up by this force. For a time, after the destruction of the Great Void Forest, the edge of the tiankeng also became a place of extinction.
……
Walking through the dark cavity, in silence.
Soon, the members of the Hueco Mundo advance team returned to Soul Society, breathing the familiar air of Soul Society and feeling the spirit particles that were completely different from those in Hueco Mundo. Logically, the members of the 11th Division should be very happy, but when they thought about what happened in the end, they felt extremely heavy.
They had returned from Hueco Mundo, that's for sure.
But the captain who led them to Hueco Mundo did not come back.
At the very end, when they were fighting the Espada.
An accident happened.
The spirit particles turned into a storm, raging in all directions, sweeping everything into it.
They didn't know what exactly happened during the battle between Captain Natsuki and Aizen.
They only know the results.
The captain sent them out of the storm at the last moment. No one knew why he didn't come out himself.
But he must have been in great trouble.
This made the members of the 11th Division feel extremely heavy-hearted.
But no matter how heavy it is, they have to face reality.
What followed and awaited them were questions from Captain Yamamoto and others.
This time, sending an advance team to Hueco Mundo is an extremely risky move, but it is extremely necessary. Aizen had previously caused great damage in Soul Society. In order to find out the power that Aizen currently possesses, they must understand the strength of Hueco Mundo.
Gin Ichimaru and the others could only put away their sadness and talk about what they had gained in Hueco Mundo.
It would be more accurate to say that it was Xia Mu’s gain rather than their gain.
"Eleven legions against the Espada, the captain of the Gotei 13!"
"Hueco Mundo is very similar to Soul Society!"
"Aizen really did cause quite a mess!"
In the team leader's room.
All the captains of the Gotei 13 except Natsuki have arrived here.
All the information obtained by the Hueco Mundo advance team was also shared with them.
Shocked. Very shocked.
A lot of things happened in Soul Society before, which made them know that Aizen had done a lot of things in Hueco Mundo. They didn't expect that Aizen would run Hueco Mundo into this state. According to the information brought back by the members of the 11th Division, the current Hueco Mundo is completely different from the Hueco Mundo they are familiar with.
The entire Hueco Mundo was heading towards another unprecedented path.
The third-level Hollows of the past have become a thing of the past, and what has replaced them now are the Arrancars.
Arrancar is the Hollow form of Death God.
There is also a strict hierarchy.
According to the numbering, the strongest among them are called the Ten Espada, and each of the Ten Espada has the strength of a captain.
"The good news is that this time, we eliminated one of the Espada, and Aizen also lost an important subordinate." After knowing the specific situation of Hueco Mundo, someone said in a strange tone. I don't know if this sentence can be regarded as self-deprecating.
Although it was Zaraki who killed Nnoitra, not Natsuki.
But not all the people in the Gotei 13 are fools.
At least, for the captain, the eyesight still exists.
They all knew that the combat power of the 11th Division was somewhat excessive, and that there were not only Natsuki who possessed captain-level strength, but many of them had mastered Bankai.
Apart from that, they could also accept the fact that all the Ten Espada were captain-level.
After all, normally speaking, a Hollow of the level of Achukas and Vastod is someone who can compete with the captain.
The void that broke the mask is obviously more powerful.
This kind of virtual strength must be extraordinary.
Although the principle behind this is unclear, the existence of so many Hollows of this level in the Hueco Mundo should not be underestimated and is worth paying attention to.
"Is this really good news?"
After this statement was made, someone else expressed a different opinion, and everyone fell silent.
This time, the advance team of Hueco Mundo was very successful from the perspective of completing the mission.
Not only did they collect a lot of information about Hueco Mundo, they also destroyed Aizen's reserve barracks "Great Hollow Forest". According to the assumption, Aizen's Hueco Mundo was probably also severely damaged, so Aizen was so angry and surrounded and pursued them when they left.
They even took advantage of this opportunity to fight against some of the Espada in Hueco Mundo.
Further confirmed the strength of the Espada and knew their abilities.
But everything comes at the last moment.
Something unexpected happened, and both warring parties were caught up in an extremely terrifying storm.
It is not clear whether those Ten Espadas are dead or alive.
But the captain of the 11th Division, their Kenpachi Natsuki, was not able to return with the advance troops.
What Xia Mu did at the last moment is unknown.
But it is a fact that Xia Mu did not return.
Of course, everyone believed in Xia Mu's ability.
Over the years, Xia Mu has proven that he deserves the title of Kenpachi.
Although he did not engage in personality cult within the squad like Kensei Muguruma, where all the members of the 9th squad called themselves Muguruma 9th squad, but privately, many people called Kenpachi Natsuki "the strongest Kenpachi of all time."
Before Xia Mu, perhaps someone else had also been given this title.
But once everyone has witnessed Natsuki's terrifying power that can turn the tide, no one would think that Kenpachi is stronger than Natsuki.
This time, however, is different.
The place where Natsuki fell into was Hueco Mundo, a Hueco Mundo that was different from the previous ones and extremely terrifying.
He could only send his teammates back, but he himself did not come back. It was obvious that he had encountered unprecedented trouble.
What is his current situation? Is he dead? Is he alive?
These things are very worrying.
