Chapter 231 Time cuts off everything!
How long is the lifespan of a god of death? This is a question that cannot be answered clearly. After all, the worst god of death may die at the hands of a small fry before he even becomes a formal god of death, while the most powerful god of death can live for millions of years.

The most obvious example of the latter is Hyōshūbe Ichibei.

As the most powerful and oldest god of death in the world, it is not known whether Hyoshubu Ichibei is the first god of death. However, since there are no gods of death of the same period as him in this era, he is the oldest and has real value.

He existed in the same era as the ancestors of the five great nobles. After the ancestors of the five great nobles fell into hell, he has continued to exist until now. Of course, because of Hyoshubu Ichibei's special situation, he is a member of Squad Zero and possesses the King's Key. If he does not encounter any accidents, as long as the Soul King exists and the world exists, he can live forever.

Therefore, if we abandon the example of Hyoshubu Ichibei and use Captain-General Yamamoto as a reference, we can also conclude that the lifespan of the Grim Reaper is extremely long.

Captain-General Yamamoto founded the Soul Society two thousand years ago. At that time, he was already not young.

Not to mention ten thousand years old, he conservatively estimated that it was at least several thousand years old.

Although he looks very old now, his strength has not weakened because of his old appearance. Instead, it has become even stronger. Under normal circumstances, he can live for at least a few thousand years until his spiritual body completely decays and he will die.

Of course, it is also possible to remain in an old age state and not be able to die.

The reason for this is that the God of Death is a spiritual creature.

Everything about a spiritual creature is determined by the spiritual particle.

For example, the strength of spiritual pressure, the strength of the body, and even lifespan are all related to the spirit particles.

The stronger a person's spiritual power is, the stronger his body will be. In battle, not only will it be difficult for him to get hurt, but even if he is injured, he will be able to recover quickly.

In addition, if a person dies, the corpse cannot be dissolved because the spiritual power in the body is too strong, and the soul cannot return to the world. Of course, these are things that have been known for a long time and there is no need to explain them in detail.

Just need to make sure of one thing.

That is, the more powerful the spiritual power of the god of death, the longer his lifespan.

But except for special existences like Hyōshūbe Ichibei, the lifespan of the god of death still has a limit.

At this moment, under Aizen's power, time for Natsuki passed quickly.

Hundreds, thousands, ten thousand years!
It should be known that the punishment in Wujian is only a starting term of ten thousand years, and every criminal who can enter Wujian is an absolute strong man with unfathomable strength.

In the past, the Central Forty-Sixth Chamber only sentenced these criminals to ten thousand years in prison. It can be seen that in the cognition of those guys, such a strong man would only live for about ten thousand years.

Even because there are no spiritual particles in the Wujian, the spiritual particles that remain in it can only leave but not enter, and will only continuously consume their own spiritual power. Many of them cannot even live for ten thousand years.

But in the current case of Natsuki, under the terrifying power of time of Aizen, ten thousand years have passed in an instant.

But ten thousand years is not his limit.

Soon, time continued to move forward.

Fifteen thousand years, twenty thousand years, thirty thousand years…

The mist enveloped Xia Mu's body, constantly pushing the passage of time for him.

This is an ability very similar to Bylergan's power of aging.

In other words, in the current Aizen, one can find abilities similar to those of many Hollows. Although it is true that Aizen is the dominant one, it is no longer possible to regard Aizen at this moment as a single person. Instead, he is a complex composed of countless Hollows. The abilities of various Hollows are intertwined and combined in him to form even more bizarre abilities.

Of course, for Aizen, the burden on himself to accelerate the passage of time for a powerful being like Natsuki is not small, or even huge.

The eyes all over his body quickly closed after he activated the power of time, and some of them were even destroyed directly.

Aizen's originally extremely powerful spiritual pressure also weakened a lot during this process.

However, for Aizen himself, it was all worth it.

"As expected, you also have your limits. You may be able to block the power of space, but you cannot defeat the power of time."

"Over time, no matter how strong you are, you will eventually turn into dust."

Hoarse and unpleasant words came out of Aizen's mouth.

In his sight, Xia Mu looked older.

Originally, Xia Mu was a very young man. Even though Xia Mu was not young and was several hundred years old, he still looked like a man in his twenties. But now, Xia Mu looked like a man in his forties.

You must know that thirty thousand years have passed for Xia Mu.

After 30,000 years, he has only reached middle age, which shows how strong Xia Mu is and how long his life is.

But as long as there is no change, it is a good thing for Aizen.

What he didn't want to see was no change.

Xia Mu has grown from a young man to a middle-aged man, which means that the power of time can hurt Xia Mu. Even if his previous abilities were very strange and could reverse and change all factors that were unfavorable to him, as long as he could not resist time and continued to push time forward, Xia Mu would soon grow from middle-aged to old age and finally die.

Thinking of this, Aizen continued to push time forward.

Because of the power of time, Xia Mu could only passively bear it all and it was difficult for him to resist.

At this moment, Natsuki was like a being in the light of the anti-membrane, while Aizen was in the outside world. The two were in different worlds and difficult to contact, but what separated them was no longer space, but time.

Xia Mu is in another timeline.

Aizen is in the present timeline.

The two timelines are different.

Even if Xia Mu took action, his attack would be dissolved by the power of time.

In an instant, the time on Xia Mu's body jumped from 30,000 years to 40,000 years. Correspondingly, his appearance also underwent some changes, but the changes were not as great as imagined. From 40,000 years to 50,000 years, 60,000 years, 70,000 years, and in a blink of an eye, it was 100,000 years.

After reaching the 100,000th year, Aizen's consumption became enormous.

Xia Mu finally reached his old age.

His hair was white, his body was covered with age spots, and he exuded a decayed air, as if he was a dying man.

He was just one step away from death.

At this time, Aizen took the initiative to give up the idea of ​​continuing to push time forward and using the power of time to kill Natsuki.

Although the power of time is effective against Natsuki, it will take a long time to kill him with the help of time. And the later it gets, the more power Aizen consumes to push time forward.

After all, this itself is against the laws of nature and is a taboo.

If it were in the Broken World, it would be fine. The Broken World itself is an incomplete small world, and its world laws are incomplete. The flow of time in that kind of world is a thousand times faster than that of the Three Realms. This is not the Broken World, but the present world, a complete world.

In terms of the completeness of the world's laws, the real world even surpasses Soul Society and Hueco Mundo.

After all, this is the only world where humans, Shinigami, Hollows, Quincies, Instruments, and Reiki exist at the same time.

Although Soul Society and Hueco Mundo are vast, they are actually not as complete as the real world.

It should be said that these worlds are separated from the present world, and the present world is the most original world.

Even though the three realms coexist today and the real world is not as good as before, it is still difficult for Aizen to influence the time of the real world on a large scale.

But it doesn't matter anymore, for Aizen, the most important thing has been achieved. That is, Xia Mu has been extremely weakened and is no longer in his prime.

Xia Mu, who is getting very old, has had all his conditions weakened.

And can Aizen see that Natsuki's aging is different from Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's aging.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni only looks old, but his spiritual pressure and state are still at the end of his heyday. Natsuki is different. He has reached the end of his life and his heyday has long passed.

Now Aizen thinks that killing Natsuki is an easy task.

"It's really not easy!"

The mist disappeared, and Aizen looked at Natsuki, who had aged to the extreme, and couldn't help but speak in a deep voice.

"I never thought you could hold out for so long under the power of time, but it doesn't matter now. Your time is about to end, and my time has just begun."

Xia Mu felt his extremely aged body, and his eyes were extremely cloudy. His eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of life that only belonged to the years after so many things had passed.

"Aizen, you are too arrogant."

Xia Mu's voice was also extremely old. Facing the extremely arrogant Aizen, he only said this one sentence.

Aizen's eyes turned cold.

He clasped his hands in front of him, and a black light emerged. As the light emerged, the surrounding space began to distort.

boom! !

The next moment, a black beam of light gushed out and instantly engulfed Xia Mu's extremely decayed body.

If Natsuki was in his prime, Aizen didn't think his attack could kill Natsuki, but that's not the case now.

He was confident that Xia Mu would definitely die.

Under Aizen's gaze, Natsuki's body slowly melted away under this blow.

After the death of a powerful god of death, the concentration of spirit particles in his body is too high to be destroyed, so he needs to be buried and led into hell, but this situation did not happen to Xia Mu.

"As expected, time can wither everything, even you."

Aizen spoke in a deep voice.

However, he also discovered something, that is, Xia Mu did not resist at all.

Is it that the will is there but the strength is not enough?
Aizen thought so.

Xia Mu did not resist the power of the previous years, which shows that he had no way to resist before, and now, he wanted to resist but had no power.

After all, he is old and at the end of his life.

The powerful spirit in the body completely withered away under the baptism of time.

"Captain Xia Mu..."

In Karakura Town, Captain Yamamoto is still in a state of self-sealing.

The barrier still loomed over Karakura Town.

But because Xia Mu had taken action before and destroyed all the darkness, the God of Death in the barrier was able to see the situation outside clearly.

At first, they were extremely excited after seeing Natsuki. Natsuki was lost in the Hueco Mundo and was suspected to be dead. Countless people fell into sadness and anger.

Afterwards, with the outbreak of the war between them and Aizen, they felt Aizen's power firsthand, and only then were they able to feel Natsuki's power more clearly.

Captain Natsuki was able to gain the upper hand repeatedly when facing such a powerful Aizen.

It can be seen that Captain Natsuki is very powerful and deserves the name Kenpachi.

Regarding the Hueco Mundo incident, it was definitely Aizen who used despicable means to kill Captain Natsuki.

Until just now, Xia Mu appeared again, which brought deep shock to everyone.

Although Aizen is very powerful, many Shinigami still have confidence in Natsuki because of his previous brilliant record.

Maybe we don't have to wait until Kurosaki Ichigo finishes his training.

Captain Natsuki is enough to fight against Aizen.

However, their excitement did not last long, as they watched helplessly as Natsuki's figure completely disappeared under Aizen's attack.

"No, that's impossible!"

"How could this be?"

Many people cannot accept this fact.

A trace of sadness appeared in Kyoraku Shunsui's eyes. "Even you can't do it?"

He was moved by Xia Mu's lonely fight.

He wanted to help Ichiban Natsuki, but unfortunately, there was nothing they could do.

The current Aizen has evolved to an extremely terrifying level.

He also didn't know if Ichigo Kurosaki would be able to fight against Aizen after completing his training.

If Ichigo Kurosaki is not capable of defeating him, then I'm afraid only that special team can possibly defeat Aizen.

Although you can do nothing, you should put your hope on that squad from the beginning.

But this is obviously not the style of the Gotei 13.

Therefore, even if they know they can't do it, they still have to do something.

Even if they all died.

Many captains saw Natsuki die under Aizen's attack.

Some people couldn't accept it, some looked sad.

The only thing missing is the fear of Aizen.

No matter how powerful Aizen appears to be, even if they will die later, they will never surrender to Aizen.

Watching Xia Mu completely reduced to ashes.

There was a look of disdain on Aizen's lips. Seeing Natsuki, who had repeatedly hurt him, finally die, he felt indescribable joy in his heart. Thus, his disdain turned into a smug smile.

However, this smile did not last long, and soon it froze again.

　My computer had a problem, so I bought a new one, which will arrive tomorrow. It’s a little less useful today.
