Yhwach's heart was filled with deep confusion.
He gradually developed a feeling of confusion and uneasiness.
This emotion was something he had never felt before.
Yhwach tried to use his omniscience to peer into the future and see where this uneasy feeling came from, but unfortunately he failed.
It's of no use.
As feelings of uneasiness continued to grow, Youhabach felt that he should do something.
At least, we cannot continue to allow this chaos to shroud us.
The invisible future must have brought about some extremely terrifying changes.
However, after thinking about it, he gave up.
The truth is that, a thousand years ago, he had seen the scene of himself replacing his father, the Spirit King. All his plans over the past thousand years were to move closer to that future, and he had formed an obsession with moving towards that future.
Although the future is shrouded in chaos, it does not mean that the future has changed. On the contrary, if you change your plans and act rashly, it is very likely to bring about real changes and prevent the future from ending like that.
This is not something that Youhabach can accept.
……
In the Soul King Palace, Ichigo, who obtained the real Zanpakutō, was unaware of such a change.
He was getting used to his new Zanpakutō.
In the process of casting the shallow strike, he gained further insight into the source of his strength.
The Uncle Zangetsu that he had seen in the past was actually the embodiment of the Quincy power in his body, and the "Hyaku" who had repeatedly opposed him and wanted to seize control of his body, the white self, was actually the power of his own Death God.
Now that I think about it carefully, every time he appeared, there was a clue, and he would only show up when he was in danger.
At first, Ichigo thought that the other party wanted to take advantage of his situation and seize control of his body.
Even though he had mastered the Hollowification under Aizen's instruction, there was always the risk of his white self taking control of his body.
Now, Ichigo understood.
From the very beginning, the other party just wanted to protect himself.
The power of the god of death that he had used in the past was only a small part of it.
Most of the power of the Shinigami was suppressed by Uncle Zangetsu using the power of the Quincy.
"Ichigo, I don't want you to become a god of death."
Uncle Zangetsu reappeared in the soul space and said this to Ichigo.
"But you broke through yourself time and time again, and created miracles one by one with the tiny bit of death power that you poured out. In the end, you became a death god."
"Now that you know the truth and have made this choice, it's time for me to say goodbye to you..."
Although he looks exactly like Youhabach.
But this is because Uncle Zangetsu's power comes from the Quincy, and the origin of the Quincy's power is Yhwach. Although they have the same appearance, they are essentially two completely different people. At least, for Ichigo, he can feel that Uncle Zangetsu really cares about him.
With a sad heart, he said goodbye to Uncle Zangetsu.
Then, he shook hands with his own power of death, that is, his white self.
Under these circumstances, a brand new knife was forged.
The new swords are double swords.
Two swords, one is the continuation of his past power, and the other is his brand new power.
I don’t know if the name of the sword is a coincidence or has been destined, but it is still “Zhan Yue”!
The new Zangetsu was extremely powerful. In the special environment of the Soul King Palace, Ichigo took a long time to adapt to this new power.
Until this day.
Natsuki took the initiative to come to the place where Ichigo was training.
"Ichigo, we should leave!"
Ichigo stopped his training at the Soul King Palace.
He had no regrets about leaving.
"Are you finally leaving?"
On the contrary, he was a little excited.
The main reason is that I have been separated from my family and friends for too long.
He has wanted to go back for a long time.
But he has not received accurate information, so he can only continue to stay in the Soul King Palace to hone himself. Now after hearing the news from Natsuki, Ichigo is very excited.
Different than when I came.
When returning, Natsuki and Ichigo did not rely on the help of the Tenju chariot.
Because it is not necessary.
They all wore special Death Hagoromo suits made by Shutara Senjumaru. This new Death Hagoromo suit had super strong defense, enough to resist the terrifying gale and raging power in the seventy-two barriers.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the members of Squad Zero open the seal of the Soul King Palace first.
Following the passage opened by Ichibei Hyoshubu and others, Natsuki and Ichigo stepped into it, and then, just like when they crossed the Dangai, they headed towards the Soul Society.
Although it was from top to bottom, it didn't feel that way when crossing the barrier.
It's like passing through a broken channel.
Each layer of barriers is a special boundary.
This took several days.
After crossing the last barrier, a feeling of falling suddenly came over me.
Natsuki and Ichigo's bodies fell rapidly downwards.
In a world filled with rich spirit particles, the god of death cannot fly.
So, under normal circumstances, after Natsuki and Ichigo came down from the Soul King Palace, they could only fall passively and then hit the ground. However, because they were wearing the Death Hagi suit specially made by Shutara Senjumaru, which possessed super strong defense, even if they fell to the ground, they would not suffer too much damage because of the terrifying defense of the Death Hagi suit.
However, Xia Mu did not like this awkward way of landing.
During his and Ichigo's fall.
He drew out his Zanpakutō decisively.
A crimson light emerged.
Then the spirit particles gathered together and formed two special clouds, supporting him and Ichigo.
Because he had only fallen a little, inertia had not yet formed, and he did not feel any shock or discomfort when he landed on the clouds. Ichigo discovered this.
He couldn't help but stand up on the clouds and look sideways at Xia Mu who was also standing on the clouds beside him.
Xia Mu explained with a smile: "Falling directly downwards is bound to be a bit embarrassing."
Under Xia Mu's control, two clouds carried them to the ground quickly and smoothly.
Coming back to the land of Soul Society, feeling the spirit particles in the air which were completely different from those in the Soul King Palace, Ichigo felt as if he had come back to the real world.
The difference between Soul Society and the Soul King Palace is like the difference between the real world and Soul Society.
Although the spirit particles in Soul Society are not thin, they are too dense in Soul King Palace. The spirit particles that fill the place are called "super spiritual power"!
"Let's go!"
After landing safely, Natsuki said to Ichigo again.
Under his leadership, Ichigo followed him into the Soul Society.
After resting for a while in the Soul Society, Ichigo left Soul Society and returned to the real world.
Xia Mu first went to meet Captain-General Yamamoto and had a brief chat with him about the Zero Squad.
Then he returned to his own squad.
After all, his current identity is still the captain of the 11th Division. He has been away from the division for so long, and now that he is back, of course he has to show up and reassure his teammates.
As for team affairs, there aren't really any.
After all, the mission of the 11th Division is to fight, and there are so many masters in the division, and these people are enough to handle all combat tasks.
After showing up and announcing that he had returned and having a few drinks with his teammates, Xia Mu rested for a while.
Afterwards, he went to Urahara Kisuke.
In the Zero Squad, he had contact with several members of the Zero Squad.
Hyoshubu Ichibei was too mysterious. Apart from some dealings with him during his trip to the Spirit King's Palace, Xia Mu didn't talk much with him. He didn't really want to deal with such a guy. After all, he had many secrets hidden in his body. The more he came into contact with Hyoshubu Ichibei, the more likely his secrets would be seen through.
The remaining members of Squad Zero.
He went to visit Wang Yue of Nimeiya and saw the various kinds of Zanpakuto forged by the other party.
Shudorashi Senjumaru is a woman with severe mysophobia. Although she is very beautiful and cold, which is more in line with Xia Mu's aesthetic taste, he has lived in the world of death for so many years, and he is not a sex maniac who only looks at the appearance. She clearly doesn't like the subtle aura of hell on him, so Xia Mu naturally can't want to make himself unhappy by getting close to her.
In the Zero Squad, the ones he had the most contact with were Hikifune Kiryu and Kirinji Tenshiro.
The former is an old acquaintance, and as for the latter, although Xia Mu has not had much direct contact with him, he still has a lot of indirect relationships with him.
Kirinji Tenshiro is a good friend of Kenpachi Kuriyashiki, and he even taught Unohana Retsu medical skills in the past. It can be said that the relationship between him and Kenpachi is very deep.
For a person like this, Xia Mu naturally didn't mind chatting more with him.
After meeting Urahara Kisuke, what Natsuki discussed with him was still related to Squad Zero.
It was just some words that Hikifune Kiryu conveyed to Urahara Kisuke.
There is also a summary report of the other party’s inventions over the years.
Urahara Kisuke took the report handed over by Natsuki and read it carefully, his eyes flickering. Finally, he put away the report and said to Natsuki: "Natsuki, thank you very much, these things are very useful to me."
It has been over a hundred years since Hikifune Kiryu was promoted to Squad Zero.
Over the past one hundred years, Hikifune Kiryu has been staying in Squad Zero, without having to worry about the outside world. He has devoted himself to scientific research there, and naturally has achieved many gratifying results.
These things involve the areas of soul and spiritual pressure. Now, Natsuki brought them to Urahara Kisuke from Squad Zero. Even if he just glanced through them, Urahara Kisuke felt that he benefited a lot.
This is something that can help him a lot.
"As long as it's useful to you."
Xia Mu didn't understand scientific research and didn't say much.
……
Since returning from Squad Zero, Natsuki has completed the final preparations.
Ishida Uryu had already obtained the power of the holy words in advance, and this power was not obtained from the soul and blood of Yhwach.
Originally, Ishida Uryu's ability could restrain Yhwach's holiness, and now his connection with Yhwach has been further severed. There is no doubt that if a war breaks out, Ishida Uryu's special ability will definitely be of great use.
In addition to Ishida Uryu, the absolute protagonist in the original work, Kurosaki Ichigo, also awakened the true power hidden in his body in advance with the help of Natsuki. Ichigo then has a long time to adapt to this powerful power. Even Natsuki can't tell to what level Ichigo can develop this power.
You must know that it has not even been a year since Ichigo first obtained the power of the God of Death.
And the time left for him to master the power is definitely longer than all the time before.
In the original work, after a thousand years of bloody battle, he was able to defeat Yhwach.
It was with the help of Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu and Ishida Uryu's complete opposite assistance, combined with Ichigo's own powerful strength, that Yhwach was defeated.
The first two, one used illusion to mislead Yhwach's time and made him wake up early, which did not reach the most perfect state. The other directly fed back the effect of the Silver Blood Thrombosis Arrow to Yhwach, causing him to lose his power temporarily, further magnifying the flaw, which gave Ichigo a chance.
And now, Aizen has been exiled to hell and can never return.
However, even without Aizen, Natsuki firmly believed that he was not weaker than Aizen. He would never place his hopes of defeating Yhwach on such a sinner.
“I have done everything I can.”
"Next, we just need to wait patiently for the war to come."
The passage of time is always silent.
In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed.
For the god of death, more than a year is not a long time. He just needs to complete a few tasks, have a few exchanges, and drink a few glasses of wine, and the time will pass quietly.
Just because the world of death is a slow-paced world, the development of the world is extremely slow.
Most of the life of the God of Death is extremely leisurely.
But that was in the past after all.
The turmoil caused by Aizen seemed to be a turning point.
After that, the entire world of Death God pressed the fast-forward button, and various exercises were carried out one after another. The Technology Development Bureau worked overtime every day, and they frantically researched various weapons, researched Death Gods, and researched Hollows.
Logically speaking, Aizen's crisis has been resolved, and the Shinigami can enjoy the hard-earned peace, but time is too tight. Aizen's crisis itself was just an accident. If it weren't for Aizen's incident, according to the songs circulating among the Quincy race, what they need to deal with most is the Quincy who may make a comeback at any time.
Although I don't know where Yhwach is hiding.
But since he is alive and the things in the prophecies are fulfilled one by one, it means that those prophecies are true.
Yhwach will eventually wage war on Soul Society again.
There are still some people who are active in Soul Society who witnessed the war a thousand years ago. It is because of their existence that even if most people do not know what the war was all about, it does not affect their understanding of the cruelty of that war.
Training, continue training, never stop training, just to cope with the Quincy crisis that may come at any time! (End of this chapter)
