Chapter 232 Reshape the body and evolve again!
The spirits are gathering.
This is not an uncommon scene.
Whether it's the Quincy using the Holy Arrow, the Hollow using the Hollow Flash, or the Shinigami using the Kidō, there will be a scene where spirit particles converge towards the same place. It can be said that spirit particles are the source of all mystery.
It is precisely because of the existence of special things like Reiki in this world that Shinigami, Hollows and Quincies are able to possess such powerful strength.
It is hard to imagine what the world would be like without spirit particles.
Will order still exist?
Under Aizen's gaze, the gathering of these spirit particles before him seemed extremely strange.
Especially since they appeared in the place where Xia Mu disappeared.
It is obviously impossible to say that it has nothing to do with the silent Natsuki. Even Aizen himself does not believe such a thing.
A flash of light, condensation!
As Xu's most powerful attack method, although Xu Flash is simple and crude, its power is also very strong.
And its condensation speed is also fast.
If you want to destroy something, there is nothing wrong with using Virtual Flash.
Boom boom boom! !
Flying by in a flash.
Landing on the gathering of spirit particles, in order to prevent the spirit particles from gathering, Aizen instantly released multiple hollow flashes. For other hollows, it takes all his strength to release an attack, but for him now, it is almost the same as an ordinary attack and can be released easily.
"Since you have already died, just die honestly and don't even think about making a comeback."
Looking at the place where spirit particles gathered, Aizen's voice was cold.
"Then I wonder if you have ever heard of a phrase called revival in extinction?"
Familiar words suddenly rang out from the void.
This seems a bit weird. There is clearly no figure, but there is sound.
Then, black mist emerged.
The breath of death permeated.
The power of Xu Shan was completely annihilated in an instant.
Time and space seemed to have solidified at this moment, and the color between heaven and earth also became darker.
The sky and earth lost their color, and everything was dim.
"This power..."
Aizen felt this power and actually felt an instinctive tremor. This was an extremely incredible and strange thing.
Immediately afterwards, another force emerged.
Beyond the black power, this power is white.
Unlike the power filled with the breath of death, this power is full of vitality.
"The power of the Spirit King!"
Aizen immediately understood the nature of this power.
He once created the Hogyoku, and within the Hogyoku there were fragments of the Soul King. Although there were not many, Aizen knew something about the power of the Soul King. Even the purpose of this attack on Karakura Town was related to the power of the Soul King.
Aizen wants to seize the spiritual vein beneath Karakura Town in order to create the King Key, reach the Soul King Palace, and call the Soul King to account.
"You said I was depraved, but you don't seem to be any better!"
Thinking of this, Aizen suddenly burst into laughter.
He should have thought of it earlier.
Xia Mu's strength, which far exceeds that of ordinary death gods, is definitely not something that can be achieved through simple practice. Xia Mu must have relied on the help of something.
And now, Aizen knew what Natsuki was relying on.
It is the power of the Spirit King.
In other words, Xia Mu, like he once was, also collected fragments of the Soul King.
To the God of Death, the Soul King is the supreme king. This point is advocated in all the textbooks of Soul Society. Those high and mighty nobles are merely vassals of the Soul King.
The Spirit King is an existence that cannot be desecrated.
In order to protect the safety of the Soul King, there is even a special squad called Squad Zero, called the "Royal Agents", which are composed of the most powerful captains.
As the captain of the 11th Division, Xia Mu obviously knew these things.
But this person still chose to accept the power of the Spirit King and use the power of the Spirit King to help himself become stronger.
What is this behavior?
This is blasphemy!
Aizen found it even more ridiculous when he thought that Natsuki, who claimed to be righteous, had also blasphemed the Soul King.
"Sure enough, the so-called justice is just an excuse for you guys. In fact, you are extremely hypocritical."
"I really want to know, if those guys knew that you, whom they trusted, had actually blasphemed the power of the Spirit King, what would they think of you?"
"Of course you still respect me as always!" Xia Mu's voice was heard again, and he disappeared. "I'm not the only one who borrows the power of the Spirit King."
"As long as I don't try to go to the Spirit King Palace, affect the Spirit King himself, and subvert this world, I will still be innocent."
The words suddenly changed, "So, you are the sinner! Aizen!"
As he spoke, behind the power of death and the vital power of the Spirit King, another power emerged. This was the power that Xia Mu himself possessed, but compared to the ordinary power of the god of death, this power was different.
This is also normal.
After all, in order to become stronger, Xia Mu used Feiyuan to absorb a lot of spirit particles.
Among them, the vast majority are the power of Hollows, especially the Hougyoku created by Urahara Kisuke, which has the power of Hollows as its core. Although thanks to the special nature of Feiyuan, these are transformed into Xia Mu's own spiritual power, and his spiritual power limit continues to increase.
But the nature of Xia Mu's power has changed after all, and it is different from that of ordinary gods of death.
This is also the reason why he did not choose to become a hollow like Aizen, but still broke the boundary of the God of Death.
Aizen relied on another power, the power of Hollow, to merge with the power of Death and thus break through the boundaries.
What Xia Mu relies on is his strong foundation.
You just need to keep accumulating, and one day, the jar that carries the power will burst.
Of course, Aizen would not allow Natsuki to be resurrected like this. After Natsuki's voice was heard, he used various methods.
The ability of space.
The ability of time.
All of them were used by Aizen.
He wanted to completely erase all traces of Xia Mu's existence.
But it is difficult to do.
Whether it is the power filled with the breath of death, the power of the Spirit King, or the power of the god of death belonging to Xia Mu himself, they are all extremely powerful forces, and the power of time cannot make them completely disappear.
What Aizen had previously used the power of time to destroy was only Natsuki's body.
As long as the most essential power still exists, as long as the soul still exists, the body and everything else can be reshaped at will.
Hollow's super-speed regeneration is essentially the ability to reshape the body with the help of spiritual energy.
And Xia Mu also has the ability to manipulate spirit particles.
Even if he wanted to, he might be able to avoid Aizen's previous power of time, after all, his Bankai was powerful enough.
But he still had to endure the baptism of Aizen's power of time. This was certainly not because he was arrogant and thought he could survive the power of time controlled by Aizen, but because he needed the help of Aizen's power to reorganize the power in his body.
After returning from hell, even though Xia Mu was unwilling to accept that power, there was still a new power in his body.
This is the power of hell.
The power of death and the power of vitality filled his body at the same time.
Even though the balance was managed to be maintained afterwards, it was actually very fragile.
If you are not careful, you may end up like Aizen, becoming neither human nor ghost.
As for expelling the power of hell from the body?
It's already difficult to do.
In order to escape from hell and to reduce the resistance brought by the gate of hell, Xia Mu fed the tiger with his own body and actively drew the power of hell into his body. It was impossible not to pay a price.
The laws of hell have penetrated deep into his soul.
This is not just filling up the body, his soul has been eroded.
Therefore, in order to better stabilize his own state and master these powers, Xia Mu must find another way.
With the help of the power of Bankai, it might be possible to accomplish such a thing, but it is still very difficult to rely on one's own Bankai alone.
Therefore, we need to rely on other forces.
Aizen is a good person to borrow power from.
When Aizen used the power of time to destroy Natsuki, he didn't know that Natsuki was using Aizen's power of time to completely destroy and then rebuild, allowing all his strength to be concentrated into one.
The destruction of the body was not something unacceptable to Xia Mu.
As long as his core strength remains, as long as his Bankai is not interrupted, he can rewrite everything.
What turns false into true, what turns virtual into real.
Even reversing life and death can be done.
Because the power has never been cut off, life and death can be overturned at will.
This is the Bankai that can change everything.
Everything is defined by Xia Mu himself.
Under Aizen's gaze, the three powerful forces completely merged into one.
Then, with the fusion of the three forces, a skeleton emerged from it.
First there is the skeleton, and then the flesh and blood.
In an instant, Natsuki, who had been annihilated by Aizen's attack, reappeared again.
The only difference is that his captain's haori and Shinigami uniform have disappeared, and instead, he is wearing a white robe, similar to the white robe that Rukia Kuchiki wore when she was imprisoned in the Palace of Confession.
Of course, these are just trivial matters and no one cares.
What Aizen cared about was that Natsuki was not dead.
"You are really hard to kill!" Ever since Natsuki's voice reappeared, Aizen's mood has been in a very bad situation. Now seeing Natsuki's originally destroyed body reappear, his mood is also extremely bad, and even his words are full of resentment.
"Same here, aren't you hard to kill?" Xia Mu responded to Aizen's words, "Or rather, at our level, it's already very difficult to truly die."
Aizen remained silent, because it was true.
Then, Xia Mu's tone changed slightly, becoming serious and earnest, "But even if you are hard to kill, I still want to give it a try now."
Aizen's eyes turned cold, "What a coincidence, I feel the same way."
Two figures jumped out at the same time and collided.
Xia Mu raised his hand, and a knife appeared in his hand.
Seeing Xia Mu holding a knife, Aizen also stretched out his hand, and the black substance condensed into a slender knife.
The two knives collided.
boom! !
A terrifying roar echoed.
The crimson barrier above Karakura Town couldn't help but vibrate.
Even though they were inside the barrier, many death gods still felt an instinctive sense of fear.
"This kind of power? Can it really exist?"
"Captain Xia Mu is not dead? That's great!"
"..."
Some people were shocked by the terrifying power that erupted from the collision between Natsuki and Aizen, while others were excited that Natsuki was not dead.
Today is indeed a day with great emotional fluctuations for everyone.
Natsuki, who was supposed to be dead, reappeared and fought with Aizen as the captain, but once again perished under Aizen's invincible power.
This made them extremely sad, and they immediately strengthened their determination to fight.
Before their faith could be strengthened for too long, Xia Mu "came back to life" again, and the resurrected Xia Mu seemed to be even stronger than before.
Although Natsuki and Aizen had clashed before, they did not feel much as they were inside the barrier.
But that is not the case now.
Even through the barrier, they could all feel the terrifying power. You have to know that this was a barrier that Aizen had spent a long time creating but was unable to do anything about.
Captain Yamamoto sealed himself, and they put all their efforts into injecting spiritual power into Captain Yamamoto. The strength of the barrier formed is self-evident.
"The barrier won't be unstoppable, right?"
Some people have some bad thoughts.
After hearing this, Ukitake Jushiro quickly gave the order.
"Everyone, work harder and continue to lend your strength to the captain. We must maintain the existence of the barrier."
Although, after the barrier is broken, they can go to join the battle and help Xia Mu.
But before there is a way to restrain Kyouka Suigetsu, their participation in the war may not be a good thing. Instead, they may be manipulated by Aizen and used to deal with Natsuki.
It is certainly not justifiable to let Xia Mu fight alone outside the barrier.
But there is nothing that can be done about it.
And judging from the current results, although Natsuki was killed by Aizen in a strange way, he did not really die. Now in the confrontation between him and Aizen, he is not at a real disadvantage, but instead seems to be evenly matched.
After hearing what Fuzhu said, the many death gods could only suppress the complicated emotions growing in their hearts and continue to inject spiritual power into the instruments in their hands.
The power of the barrier was strengthened again.
The barrier, which had been slightly shaken by the collision between Natsuki and Aizen, became stable again.
Outside the barrier, Aizen was also manipulating strange power to fight against Natsuki. Since the power of time was effective on Natsuki before, he continued to use the power of time.
But after being reborn, Xia Mu further digested the several powers in his body and integrated them into one.
Now the power of time has lost its effect on Xia Mu.
His body did not show any signs of aging or decay over time.
"It seems that after this resurrection from the dead, some unknown changes have taken place in you."
Aizen and Natsuki were confronting each other, and low words came out of his mouth. Natsuki now was much weirder than him.
The power of time, the power of space, the power that devours everything.
There are also poison, fire, ice, water, and thunder.
It can be said that all kinds of abilities were used by Aizen, but the use of these abilities did not cause any harm to Natsuki. The absolute death force that first appeared before Natsuki re-condensed, dissolved all means of attack when it came into contact with Aizen's attack.
Death is the destination of all things.
Aizen realized this, so he said this.
And he has always been a person who likes to ask questions in his heart.
He went straight to Xia Mu and asked, "This is not the power of the Spirit King, nor is it the power of the God of Death or the Hollow. Can you tell me, what exactly is this power?"
Natsuki manipulated this power to resist all of Aizen's attacks.
"It's okay to tell you. This is the power of hell. It's also where you are about to go."
It is very difficult, or even impossible, to kill Aizen completely, so the best way is to seal or exile Aizen.
Wujian, that's where Xia Mu had been.
Therefore, he knows the situation in the Unforgettable World very well.
If it was the Aizen in the original work, he might be able to be sealed in the Mugen, but the current Aizen is different. He is even more terrifying than in the original work. No one knows how many hollows he has devoured and how many abilities he possesses. A simple Mugen may not be able to seal Aizen, and the current Aizen does not have the kidō specially created by Urahara Kisuke in his body.
Natsuki might be able to weaken Aizen through fighting, but it is probably impossible to seal Aizen like in the original work.
Therefore, the best place for Aizen is hell.
Having personally been to hell, Xia Mu has a very good understanding of hell.
There are countless powerful people there, including the ancestors of the five major nobles.
With the existence of these guys, if Aizen also fell into hell, hell would be too lively.
Xia Mu found that kind of thing interesting.
"The power of Hell?"
Hearing Natsuki's response, Aizen was slightly stunned.
Then I remembered something.
Before this, in the battle at the edge of the Great Hollow Forest, the power of the Hollow King revived in his body, and several of the Ten Espada were devoured by him. Natsuki also disappeared after that. Aizen thought that the opponent was killed by his explosive power.
Because since then, Xia Mu has completely disappeared.
In the three realms, Xia Mu's spiritual pressure no longer exists.
Now it seems that something unexpected happened to Xia Mu, and this accident was falling into hell.
Otherwise it would be impossible to explain why Xia Mu could possess the power of hell.
"Hell, that's hilarious."
Aizen is no stranger to hell, and it can even be said that he knows quite a bit about it.
The reason why he knew about hell was because when he was in Soul Society, he had a brief cooperation with the ancestor of the Tsunayashiro family. Of course, at that time, Aizen didn't know that guy was the ancestor of Tsunayashiro. After the Hell Gate incident that shocked the entire Soul Society, Aizen became very interested in the special interface of hell and conducted some investigations on it.
Although not long after that, Xia Mu, who came out of Mugen, exposed his true identity, forcing him to leave Soul Society.
But during his career in Hueco Mundo, Aizen did not give up further research on Hell.
Hell is the world of the dead.
All existences that are not tolerated by the spirit world will fall into hell.
Judging from the fact that the ancestor Tsunamiyo tried every possible way to break free from hell, that world does not seem to be a beautiful place. Of course, it must have its own civilization and order, and there are many strong people like the ancestor Tsunamiyo.
Aizen plans to replace the Soul King and become the ruler of the three realms, and then explore the secrets of Hell.
Unexpectedly, Xia Mu had gone through hell before him and returned alive from that world.
"Sure enough, you are the biggest obstacle on my way forward."
Aizen made such a judgment.
The power of hell gave Xia Mu an extremely powerful destructive force. That was the power of the world of death. Everything in the world of the living would be destroyed when facing that power.
Xia Mu inherited the power of death, but was able to survive in the world of the living.
Obviously relying on that other force.
Before Natsuki reorganized his body, the power of the three cores was revealed, which also allowed Aizen to see the direction of Natsuki's evolution.
Aizen's own evolutionary direction is to combine the power of Hollows and the power of Death Gods, and then use the power of the Soul King as the main force to integrate these two forces and break through the limits. However, this is already the initial route. Afterwards, with the continuous changes of the Hogyoku, the power of the Hollow King became the core of Aizen's power.
Devouring everything and embracing everything, this is the direction of Aizen's evolution.
Perhaps his appearance has changed greatly now, and he no longer looks like a human being, and has become extremely ferocious, but Aizen firmly believes that as long as he devours enough power, he will eventually be able to digest and absorb all the vast power, turning it into one, and condensing all the power into one.
Unexpectedly, when I had given up on that path, I actually saw the Trinity in Xia Mu.
Although the three forces are not the power of the void, the god of death, and the soul king, but the power of the god of death, the soul king, and the power of hell, the power of hell replaces the power of the void.
But this route made Aizen reveal a hint of nostalgia.
But soon, this thought disappeared.
Because he swallowed too many Hollows, Aizen's thoughts were extremely complicated, and his emotional changes were beyond imagination. Maybe he thought one way at this moment, and changed his mind the next moment.
After understanding Natsuki's evolutionary path and witnessing the powerful and weirdness of the power of hell, Aizen did not feel frustrated at all. On the contrary, his determination to kill Natsuki became even stronger. He firmly believed that his own evolutionary path was the most powerful.
Xia Mu's evolutionary path was simply abandoned by him.
Xia Mu is only fit to become food for his evolution.
Today, he will personally remove this stumbling block.
