Chapter 218 Eight Colds and Eight Heats, the Way to Leave Hell!
The power of aging is reversed.
There were flickering black fires in the eye sockets of Bylergan's skull-like head, and he looked very solemn.
If he were in the real world, facing such a change, he would find it difficult to cope, but here, this is hell.
Hell itself is the world of death, and here he gained another power, a power of higher status than the power of aging.
boom!
In an instant, the power of hell burst out from Bylergan's body, and the reversed force of aging was immediately blocked after it touched the power of hell.
“What a powerful force!”
Xia Mu looked at the power of hell erupting from Bylergan and couldn't help but sigh.
Is Bylergan's power of aging strong?
Of course powerful.
Even spirit particles can be corroded.
All ghosts and spaces will wither under this power. This is another level of time power.
In the past, Bylergan’s biggest weakness was that this power was too dangerous. He himself could not touch it. Once he touched it, he would be hurt. In addition, the speed at which it spread was also a bit slow.
Apart from these shortcomings, Bylergan can use this power to defeat even the most powerful force.
The premise is that the enemy does not have any disgusting or weird abilities.
In the former Hueco Mundo, the fighting style of Hollows was extremely barbaric. Although there were many Hollows with special abilities, as long as the level of these Hollows was lower than Bylergan, no matter how strange their abilities were, the natural sense of oppression brought by that level would exist.
In a head-on confrontation, those who are weak cannot defeat him.
And those who possess strange abilities will be suppressed by their levels.
So it's no surprise that he would become the king of Hueco Mundo.
I thought that after Bylergan's death, his glorious life came to an end, but I didn't expect that after coming to hell, he made further progress.
He actually gained a whole new power.
I don’t know if Bylergan knows that the more power of hell he takes on, the closer his connection with hell will be. From now on, he will be completely considered a person from the world of the dead and will never be able to leave hell again.
But even if he knew, given Bylergan's personality, he probably wouldn't care much.
What the other party cares about is becoming the king and dominating the world.
As for where you become the king, that is not a very important matter.
His thoughts flashed through his mind as Xia Mu continued to attack.
Although the power of hell is inherently more powerful than the power of corruption that Bylergan himself possesses, and his power of corruption cannot corrode it, the ability level of Natsuki's Zanpakuto is also high enough.
During his time in hell, Xia Mu had come into contact with this kind of power.
The power of his Zanpakutō is more advanced than this power.
A thought came to mind.
The power of hell controlled by Bylergan suddenly went out of control and scattered around. A crack appeared, and the power of aging rolled back and fell on him.
"Ahhhh!"
Death, of course, does not happen directly.
After all, he is the dead.
But beneath the power of aging and decay, pain exists.
To continue to exist in hell, one needs the power of hell. This power is the energy that supports their survival in hell. But now, due to aging, the time on Bylergan's body has suddenly accelerated. In order to prolong his existence, his power of hell is also disappearing rapidly.
Bylergan was also aware of this.
"No!"
"How could this be?"
Xia Mu noticed the changes in Bylergan and found it interesting.
"It seems that surviving in hell is not an easy task."
If you think about it carefully, it's normal.
After all, this is not a normal world.
As his thoughts flashed, he flashed and appeared in front of Bylergan.
As he raised his hand, the light flashed.
A rope similar to that of a ghost rope was tied around Bylergan's body.
"Want to die or live?"
The deep voice reached Bylergan's ears.
As we all know, Bylergan is a flexible guy.
Although he claims to be the King of Hueco Mundo, whether it was the arrogant Tsunayashiro Tokinada or Aizen in the original anime, they repeatedly disrespected him as the King of Hueco Mundo, but in the end, Bylergan had to endure it all.
During this time, after seeing Xia Mu, Bailegang originally wanted to take revenge on the murderer who killed him.
However, before he could complete his revenge, he was severely injured by Xia Mu's strange ability.
The power of aging was controlled by the other party, and he aged rapidly. In order to prolong his existence, most of the power of hell that he had accumulated with great difficulty was eliminated. If he continued, he would probably be like those sinners who fell into hell and completely disappear from this world.
Dying in this world is not like dying in Soul Society or Hueco Mundo.
If you die in the spirit world, you still have a chance to fall into hell and play a resurrection match.
But if one dies in hell, one will be completely dissipated.
Bylergan's dream of becoming the king here has not yet been fulfilled, and he doesn't want to die like this.
"what do you want to do?"
Bylergan asked Xia Mu in a deep voice.
Xia Mu looked at Bylergan deeply and raised his hand. The power of aging that was originally released by Bylergan but usurped and manipulated by Xia Mu with strange means suddenly stopped. It no longer continued to surge towards Bylergan, but fell to the empty space on the side.
Soon, the empty space began to age and corrode rapidly.
Not until these forces are completely eliminated will everything be calm.
Bylergan intended to continue to condense the power of aging, or use the power of hell to attack Xia Mu.
But at this moment, his body was being restrained by Xia Mu's strange power.
And thinking of the extremely strange methods Xia Mu had used before, he restrained himself again.
Tolerate!
He chose to endure.
Forbearance a moment, calm, take a step back, a brighter future.
As long as you are alive, there is always a possibility of turning things around.
Although Bylergan was very arrogant in the past, he was able to live in the Hueco Mundo for so many years. He had witnessed with his own eyes the power of the ancient Hollow that attacked the Soul King Palace. When the ancient Hollow had died, the remaining parts were made into Zanpakutō by Nimaiya Oyue, but Bylergan still existed and chose to be the king of Hueco Mundo, and did not take the initiative to conquer Soul Society. It can be seen that he is essentially a guy who knows how to adapt to the times.
His ability to judge the situation was the reason he was able to live so long.
If he had not chosen to join forces with Tsunayashiro Tokinada and had not been unable to suppress his desire to become stronger, he would not have provoked Natsuki and was eventually killed by him.
"So many years have passed since I killed you and you came to hell. I believe you are already very familiar with the situation in hell. I want to learn some things from you."
Xia Mu spoke calmly, without hiding his purpose.
Bylergan looked at Xia Mu with some surprise.
Xia Mu met the other person's gaze and asked again: "How do we leave hell?"
This is Xia Mu’s main purpose.
Even though he has the power to reverse everything, Xia Mu has no intention of becoming the king of hell. His goal is very simple, which is to leave hell.
This place doesn't belong to him.
"leave?"
After hearing Xia Mu's question, Bylergan was stunned at first, and then he burst into laughter, as if he had heard a joke.
"Haha, you actually want to leave?"
"What do you think hell is?"
"This is the world of the dead, a world inhabited by beings that are not tolerated by the three realms. Once you fall into hell, your existence has become a part of hell. You can only struggle to survive in it. It is impossible to leave."
"Is it really impossible?" Xia Mu ignored Bylergan's ridicule and asked for advice seriously.
This is also the benefit of meeting old acquaintances.
Although his relationship with Bylergan was not very good in the past, and it was he who personally sent Bylergan to this hell, they knew each other after all.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that we are acquaintances.
"As far as I know, no one has ever escaped from Hell."
"When you come to hell, your spirit will first be eroded by the power of hell. When your spirit is completely replaced by the power of hell, you will never be able to return to the world of spirits. From now on, life and death all depend on this power. If you do not absorb enough energy from hell, you will be completely annihilated."
“This is not a good place.”
"Despair fills the entire world."
There was a hint of indifference in Bylergan's tone.
Although he wants to be the king of hell, it doesn't mean that he likes hell very much.
Although the environment in Hueco Mundo is also very bad, compared to hell, Hueco Mundo is already a paradise.
The reason why I dominate here is simply because I have no choice.
To just sink and perish in hell was not an outcome that Bylergan could accept.
"So, even with the help of the Gate of Hell, I can't leave Hell?"
Xia Mu asked Bailegang again.
"As far as I know, in order for sinners to receive the punishment they deserve, when a soul that has committed a heinous crime appears, the laws of hell will be triggered, and the gates of hell will open, thus pulling the sinner into hell."
"If we seize this opportunity and use the gate of hell that appears in the real world, can we return to the real world?"
Xia Mu expressed his thoughts.
"Return to the world through the gate of hell?" Bylergan was stunned, then shook his head, "It's impossible. I said, once you fall into hell, you have become a part of hell. Even if you return to the world for a short time, when the time is up, the laws of hell will pull you back again."
"Hell and Lingzi's world are completely different worlds." Because he couldn't beat Xia Mu, and didn't want to die again.
After all, he had finally won the resurrection match in hell, and his ambition had been reborn in hell. It would be a great loss if he died here because of a momentary impulse.
So, when Xia Mu asked many questions, Bylergan's attitude was not bad. Although he didn't answer them in great detail, at least he answered every question.
"What if it has not been eroded by the power of hell?" Xia Mu asked Bylergan another question.
Bylergan was stunned and was about to ask Xia Mu how such a thing could happen.
Indeed, the beings who have just fallen into hell, such as those strong ones who were led into hell, fell into hell because their spiritual power is too strong. They are aggregates of high-intensity spirit particles. Such beings, after death, their souls cannot dissipate and they cannot return to reincarnation, so they can only be led into hell and use the power of hell to make them perish.
Perhaps after dying in hell, the soul will re-enter reincarnation.
But this is just a guess, hell is too mysterious.
What is known at present is that no matter whether it is the souls of the sinners whose souls are actively plundered into hell by the laws of hell, or the souls of the strong who are exiled to hell, after coming here, they will be baptized by the power of hell.
Even if those who have just fallen into hell can still maintain some spiritual power at the beginning, it won’t take long before their spiritual power will be contaminated.
It is impossible not to be corroded by the power of hell.
Bylergan subconsciously wanted to tell Xia Mu the answer.
However, he then thought of the aura that had been released from Xia Mu earlier.
That was not the breath of hell.
That is the breath of Lingzi.
It is the breath of the living.
Combined with this guy, he hasn't revealed a single bit of the power of hell since the beginning of the battle.
Bylergan immediately came up with a guess.
"Could it be?"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but covet Xia Mu.
If he could devour Xia Mu, could he use Xia Mu's spiritual power to wash away all of his own power of hell, just like his own spiritual power was replaced by the power of hell, and thus be resurrected? And then, as Xia Mu said, find a gate to hell and return to the world?
A flash of greed flashed through Bylergan's mind, but he immediately suppressed it.
It can't be done, it can't be done at all.
The main reason is that he can't beat Xia Mu.
Not to mention whether this idea is feasible.
The most crucial issue is that he is already a prisoner, and his life or death depends on Xia Mu's decision.
Not to mention killing Xia Mu in return, Xia Mu not killing him was already a special favor from Xia Mu.
Many complicated thoughts flashed through his mind, and Bylergan said to Xia Mu: "If you are not corrupted by the power of hell, you can understand it as entering hell by mistake, just like you Shinigami going to Hueco Mundo, and you can naturally go back."
This is pretty much what Xia Mu expected.
After realizing the horror of the power of hell, he gave up the idea of absorbing the power of hell. Even when fighting in hell, he used his own spiritual power. However, because hell was too dangerous, continuous fighting here would consume limited spiritual power. Even if Xia Mu carried a portable power bank, the spiritual power in the power bank was limited, so he had to find a way to leave hell before that.
He already had a plan in his mind.
Now that he had learned more about the situation in hell from Bylergan, he became even more determined in his thoughts.
Then he asked Bylergan for more information about hell.
Before this, he learned from the jailer of hell that there are several layers of hell.
And now, we know more details.
There are sixteen hells in total, eight cold and eight hot, not the so-called eighteen levels of hell.
Among them, the eight hot hells are the hells of equal suffering, the hell of black rope, the hell of many gatherings, the hell of wailing, the hell of great shouting, the hell of burning heat, the hell of great heat, and the Avici hell.
The eight cold hells are Apratha, Nirapatta, Avici, Apopa, Huhuva, Apula, Pattama and Mahapatma.
Xia Mu had never heard of most of them.
Only Avici and the black rope were familiar to him.
The former, the famous Avici Hell, is also considered a relatively famous hell.
As for Kuroro, Natsuki thought of the name of Komamura Sajin's Zanpakutō after his Bankai, "Kurorope Tenju Myoou". Speaking of which, the werewolf clan is a cursed clan. They were once human, but because of the curse, they fell into the animal realm and could not turn back into humans in every life.
The animal realm is one of the six realms of reincarnation, and as we all know, according to legend, this thing is inside hell.
So, could the Komamura Sajin clan have anything to do with hell?
Xia Mu couldn't help but think so.
"The hell we are in right now is the Great Scorching Hell. Even among the sixteen hells, it is an extremely terrifying hell."
"However, the truly powerful ones are still in the Avici Hell."
Bylergan said so.
"One day, sooner or later, I will reign there!"
He has great confidence in himself.
When he was alive, he almost unified Hueco Mundo and proclaimed himself king.
Now that he has fallen into hell, he can only dominate one place in it and cannot even be called the king. Of course, he is unwilling to accept this outcome.
"Have you ever thought about this? If I kill you, you won't have the chance to reign in the so-called Avici Hell?"
Xia Mu asked back to Bylergan.
Bylergan couldn't help but pause.
He said hesitantly, "I have told you everything I know. You should not mind letting me go, right?"
Xia Mu smiled mysteriously and did not answer Bylergan's question.
……
In the desert.
The outbreak of war happened in an instant.
When the overwhelming white Hueco Mundo appeared, the elite troops drawn from the Gotei 13 were sent to fight against it.
There are only a few thousand Shinigami in the entire Soul Society.
If we remove the Kidōshu and the like, the number of Shinigami in the Gotei 13 will be much smaller.
This time, in order to expedition to Hueco Mundo and to have an exchange of words with Aizen, Soul Society mobilized nearly two thousand Shinigami. It can be said that half of the entire Soul Society's combat power was mobilized. If the captains and heads of each division are counted, at least 70% or even 80% of the power of the entire Soul Society was mobilized.
This is an extremely scary thing.
This scale has surpassed the Battle of Karakura Town in the original work.
In the original novel, in the Battle of Karakura Town, the captains of Soul Society had not even gathered together. After all, several captains had been sent to Hueco Mundo to support Kurosaki Ichigo before that. And now, except for Natsuki who was trapped in Hueco Mundo and his whereabouts were unknown, the rest of the captains had all participated in the battle.
In addition to the captain, there are many strong people who have the strength of a captain but do not have the identity of a captain and are also involved.
After all, the current Gotei 13 is far more powerful than in the original story.
Many people do not have the status of captain simply because there are limited positions for captains.
"fire!"
Facing the overwhelming and densely packed group of virtual beings.
The Gotei 13 were the smaller side, but even so, they did not panic.
Before coming to Hueco Mundo, they knew the situation in Hueco Mundo. There are a total of legions in Hueco Mundo today. Previously, the advance team including Natsuki entered Hueco Mundo and seemed to have caused some losses to these legions, but they should still have quite a few members.
But it doesn’t matter. With the continuous development of spiritual technology, the way the Grim Reaper fights has long changed.
The Ghost Cannon that had been deployed in advance adjusted its muzzle.
Then, the god of death followed and released his spiritual power through the special instruments he carried with him.
After the popularization of wireless spirit particle communicators, people were eager to study the principles of spirit wave propagation. Now, to gather the spiritual power needed for the ghost cannon, it is no longer necessary to use special ropes as in the past. With the help of instruments similar to spirit particle communicators in hand, the spirit particles can be gathered in that direction.
Boom boom boom! !
The Kidō Cannon, which was somewhat similar to the Void Flash, was released, but unlike the Void Flash, because the Grim Reaper used special instruments to determine the direction, and the Kidō Cannon had a wider coverage area and carried out a covering attack at the same time. Even if the Void group quickly made a defense and condensed layers of shields, they were still vulnerable under the Kidō Cannon.
Soon, the shield was broken.
Countless Hollows died from this blow.
The eleven legions of Hueco Mundo were so vulnerable.
Because the battlefield is in Hueco Mundo and not in Soul Society, the Shinigami don't have to worry about the Kidō Cannon being too powerful and causing destruction to the world.
In addition, the Hollows that die under the Kidō Cannon are not like the Hollows that die at the hands of the Quincy, whose souls will be annihilated and cease to exist, thus destroying the cycle of reincarnation. They will be directly purified and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.
Of course, because the Great Hollow Forest was destroyed before, and the Shinigami are now killing people, all the Hollows in Hueco Mundo have died or been injured, which will definitely have some impact on Hueco Mundo.
As long as the three realms are not destroyed, these turmoils can be endured.
Soul Society has also figured it out.
We absolutely cannot let Aizen go just because of these things.
If Aizen continues to be allowed to go unpunished, the entire world will face even more serious threats.
In Xuye Palace.
As the person who presided over this war, Sal Apollo looked very ugly.
Because bad news came one after another.
Originally, it was thought that with all eleven legions coming out together, even if more Shinigami came to Soul Society, they wouldn’t be able to cause any waves.
I never thought that the god of death would change the way of fighting.
In the past, the way the Shinigami and Hollows fought was head-on charging and close combat. Although they would occasionally use some ghost tactics, these were only auxiliary.
Sar Apollo had observed Soul Society many years ago and had even witnessed the fighting style of Kenpachi Kuriyashiki, and he claimed to know Death Gods very well.
After Aizen came to Hueco Mundo, Hueco Mundo underwent reforms. The Hollows were no longer a chaotic and disorderly group, but became a group. As the commander of the First Legion and the leader of the Ten Espadas, he also developed a lot of technologies.
Unexpectedly, the changes in Soul Society's weapons have reached this level.
