Two hundred years ago, in the battle in the present world, Xia Mu fought against countless Quincies.
Not many years after he became the God of Death, he quickly grew powerful.
In addition to receiving the teachings from Unohana Retsu before that, the gifts from those Quincies were also of great help.
If it weren't for those Quincies who came one after another to gather spiritual particles for him and then absorbed them to strengthen his own spiritual power, he would not have been able to increase his strength to the limit in such a short period of time. Not long after the war, he defeated Kenpachi Kiyomizu and became the new Kenpachi.
Many years ago, Xia Mu discovered that although both of them were capable of playing with spirit particles, there were differences in their abilities.
There is no doubt that his authority is above that of the Quincy.
Quincy can only gather spirit particles and use them as tools, but rarely absorb them into their bodies actively, because ordinary Quincy's bodies simply cannot withstand the rampant spirit particles. Only pure-blooded Quincy, because of their strong bloodlines, can do this.
But they can only inject the spirit particles into the blood vessels, not other parts of the body.
After injecting the spirit particle into the artery, it is difficult to inject it into the vein.
Arteries and veins, you can only choose one.
The effects of injecting these two are completely different. One will enhance the Quincy's strength and attack power, while the other will strengthen the Quincy's defense.
This is the blood suit that only a pure-blooded Quincy can possess.
This ability is certainly powerful.
But many years ago, Xia Mu discovered that his own abilities were even superior to those of the Quincy's Blood Armor.
When a Quincy is fighting, it can only choose between the Active Blood Armor and the Static Blood Armor. However, Xia Mu is very powerful. When he releases his first form, he can gather spirit particles on his body, allowing him to have both the defensive power of the Static Blood Armor and the offensive power of the Active Blood Armor.
At this moment, after two hundred years, seeing the Quincy again, Xia Mu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
But the emotion is only temporary.
He blocked Cangdu's attack and angered Cangdu from the bottom of his heart.
Cangdu's weapon is not a pistol, and of course, it is not a bow and arrow. In other words, there are very few people in the Stern Cross Knights who still use traditional bows and arrows. Cangdu's weapon is the steel claws mounted on his wrists. As he swung his steel claws, spirit particles gathered and turned into a stream of light like a slash, flying towards Xia Mu.
Xia Mu's expression remained unchanged.
He just swung the knife in his hand, and all the flowing light was absorbed when it approached him, and then merged into Xia Mu's slash. In an instant, the terrifying slash fell on Cangdu's body.
Cangdu's pupils shrank slightly.
This scene shocked him a little.
But immediately, he activated the power of his holy words, and in an instant, his body turned into steel.
Xia Mu's attack hit his body, but he was unharmed.
"You think you can hurt me with such a weak attack?"
Even though Xia Mu's previous speed and the way he resolved his attack were somewhat strange, Cangdu did not take it seriously and remained extremely arrogant.
"Steel?"
Xia Mu's eyes flickered, as if he recognized Cang Du.
Because of the long time, the memory has gradually become a little fuzzy, but some members of the Stern Cross Knights left a very deep impression on people, and Xia Mu still remembers them.
The person in front of me is one of them.
In the original work, the opponent took away Hitsugaya Toshiro's Bankai.
He was later defeated by Hitsugaya Toshiro and Matsumoto Rangiku, but he did not die. Instead, after returning to the Silver Frame Castle of the Invisible Empire, he was executed by Haschwald.
Therefore, some questions cannot be thought about in detail. If you think about them carefully, they will seem too outrageous.
It is said that Captain Yamamoto and Unohana Retsu were killed in the original work due to the plot.
In fact, the Quincy's side was defeated and suffered more plot kills than the Shinigami's side.
The Quincy himself first executed a group of members of the Stern Cross Knights.
Afterwards, Youhabach was separated and killed the remaining members of the Stern Cross Knights.
Although the Death God's side also achieved some victories.
But if these people had not been killed by Yhwach, it would still not be an easy task for the God of Death to win the final war.
"It's a really good ability, but unfortunately, it's still not good enough for me."
Thinking of Cangdu's ability, Xia Mu said again in his heart.
Cangdu, who has a body of steel, is able to deal with many strange methods.
In the original book, Haschwald failed to kill him when he executed him for the first time. Later, he used his ability to harmonize the world to forcibly invalidate the power of his holy text, and only then was he killed.
Xia Mu naturally does not have the ability to reconcile the world.
But his Bankai is even more bizarre than the World Harmony.
Of course, there is no need to use Bankai when facing a character like Soudou.
Using another force will be enough to deal with him.
With a thought, Xia Mu moved again.
A scarlet red light emerged, and in the dim environment of Hueco Mundo, a thin layer of red mist appeared.
The red mist was thick and seemed a little strange.
Xia Mu's figure appeared in front of Cangdu.
Even though Cangdu was on guard at all times, he was still caught off guard.
Just like when Natsuki suddenly appeared in front of Abarai Renji and blocked his powerful attack, Natsuki's speed was incredibly fast.
"A death god known for his speed?"
Cang Du couldn't help but think so in his heart.
Yes, he didn't know Xia Mu.
Although it is unbelievable, it is true.
The Quincy's interest in the Gotei 13 dates back more than a hundred years.
After the destruction of the Levitra, the Quincies were forced to leave the Eastern world and linger in the Western world.
If Yhwach had not fully awakened and used his extremely powerful strength to resurrect the Stern Cross Knights who had died that year, Cangdu would not have been able to usher in his second life. In other words, it has not been many years since Cangdu's resurrection.
There are many other Quincies who have experienced the same thing.
Because the time of resurrection was not long, and the Quincy had been hiding in the western world for many years, and had to concentrate on developing its power in the west, naturally they did not have much time to collect intelligence on the Gotei 13.
Or rather, it is not too late yet.
According to the Quincy's plan, this Eastern Expedition is intended to first occupy the Hueco Mundo, and once a stronghold is established, they will gradually collect intelligence on the Shinigami.
But things seemed to be going a little wrong.
First, traces of the God of Death appeared in Hueco Mundo. The star chapter they created that year was useless and could not take away the God of Death's Bankai.
The reinforcements from Soul Society came so quickly. There were too many puzzles in the minds of Cangdu and others.
Moreover, the last time they observed the Gotei 13 in the Spirit Space was more than a hundred years ago. Because the time was too long, perhaps he had paid attention to the captain Natsuki before, but after suddenly encountering him, it was still difficult for him to recognize Natsuki at the first time, and he didn't know what abilities Natsuki had mastered.
He could only rely on his own judgment to guess what type of Grim Reaper Xia Mu was.
Even so, he didn't care.
A guy who excels in speed might be able to perform miraculously against Robert who masters the "God's Steps", but it is useless against him.
Looking at Xia Mu's knife swinging towards him.
Cang Du realized that he had no way to dodge, so he was too lazy to dodge and directly used the power of the holy text to turn his body into steel, taking the opportunity to block it forcefully.
Xia Mu's knife fell on Cangdu's body, and the power of steel emerged, making it difficult to advance an inch.
If things develop normally, this should be the case.
Cangdu blocked Xia Mu's attack and immediately used his own weapon to attack Xia Mu.
But just as he was thinking this.
The next moment, an extremely strange power emerged on Xia Mu's knife.
Although he did not use Bankai, after arriving at Hueco Mundo and seeing Byakuya Kuchiki and others in trouble, Natsuki still used Shikai as soon as possible.
Amidst the blood-red blade light, a gray and dead force suddenly appeared.
The power from hell fell on Cangdu's body.
There is no need to use abilities like "World Harmony". The power of Hell alone is enough to give Cang Du a hard time.
When the spirit particle comes into contact with the power of hell, if it cannot resist it, it will be directly eroded.
The power of Cangdu's holy words turned his body into steel.
But the so-called steel obviously cannot stop the power of hell.
Cangdu suddenly discovered that his body began to decay and be eroded.
His usually cold expression began to change dramatically.
'how so? ’
In a hurry, Cang Du could only swing the steel claws in his hand, and the attack condensed by spirit particles went forward.
He himself used the flying sickle kick to dodge.
He was extremely shocked to find that even his iron body could not block Xia Mu's attack.
"You reacted quickly. When you realized that your attack couldn't stop me, you dodged it immediately."
"But you're obviously not known for your speed."
Xia Mu's voice suddenly sounded in Cangdu's ears.
Just like Cangdu guessed that Xia Mu was the god of death who excelled in speed, from this point of view, Cangdu was not wrong. Speed was indeed an ability that Xia Mu was good at.
As a member of the Stern Cross Knights, Cangdu's flying sickle kick speed is quite good, but it is still much slower than Xia Mu's spatial teleportation.
The slash containing the power of hell fell again.
When the blow fell, chains came from all directions. Perhaps there was no power of hell in them and they could not destroy the steel on Cangdu's body, but as long as they could restrict his body shape and movements, that was enough.
In an instant, Cangdu's body was restrained.
Then, the slash landed on his body.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"
A scream of pain came from Cangdu's mouth.
He found that all his steel was corroded.
If he continued, he might die.
Although he was not as afraid of death as Robert, he really didn't want to die like this after finally surviving.
Then, the spirit particles gathered towards him, and dazzling light burst out from his body.
In an instant, he was like a god, sublimated.
At this time, Cangdu finally used his perfect holy body.
When Cang Du finished using the Holy Body, on the other side, Kuchiki Byakuya, who was manipulating thousands of pink cherry blossom-shaped blades, also hurriedly reminded Xia Mu: "Captain Xia Mu, be careful, this form of the Quincy is very dangerous, just like our Bankai."
After Natsuki and another captain Urahara Kisuke led reinforcements here, Kuchiki Byakuya's pressure was reduced a lot.
At least, he doesn't have to worry about anything happening to Renci and can focus all his energy on dealing with Robert.
Although Robert was very difficult to deal with and had been severely injured by the opponent before, he did not fall down after all. Not to mention, when Natsuki was rescuing Renji, Urahara Kisuke also came near him, which relieved his pressure and allowed him to remind Natsuki a thing or two.
Although not many words were said, the second half of the sentence emphasized the horror of the Quincy's perfect holy body.
After the Shinigami's Bankai, the Shinigami's combat power will soar dramatically, which is the most powerful form of the captain-level Shinigami.
There is no doubt that the Quincy's combat power will soar in this form.
If Xia Mu didn't know about the Complete Holy Body, this information would be very useful and would make him more cautious in battle. However, because he is a time traveler and knows the plot, this information is of no use.
He did not answer Byakuya Kuchiki, nor did he use his Bankai.
Even if he used his perfect holy body, in his opinion, Cangdu's strength was just that, and not enough to reverse the situation.
As soon as he thought about it, the thin red mist around him instantly gathered and concentrated in Xia Mu's body.
At the moment the red mist was gathering, Cangdu suddenly discovered that all the spirits that were surging towards him because he had used his holy body had disappeared.
The Quincy has the ability to manipulate spirit particles.
And when they are in the perfect holy body state, their ability to gather spirit particles will be further enhanced and reach the limit, allowing the spirit particles around them to completely submit to them. This is the absolute subordination of the spirit particles - holy slavery!
Under the Holy Slaves, all the leptons will be controlled by the Quincy. Even the structure of things condensed from leptons can be decomposed and restored to the most ordinary leptons in a single thought of the Quincy. But there is a prerequisite for all this, that is, there are leptons that can be controlled by them.
Xia Mu's ability is even more bizarre than Sheng Li's. After the red mist entered his body, all the spirit particles from all directions were plundered by him.
Cangdu suddenly lost control of Lingzi.
This made him even more shocked and horrified.
But he firmly believed that with the perfect holy body, he could still win.
Until Xia Mu used teleportation to come in front of him and stabbed him with a knife.
Cang Du finally realized the reality.
Even though he used the Still Blood Armor, combined with the power of his own holy text and the enhancement in the perfect holy body state, his defense soared to the extreme.
But it's no use!
The power of hell is completely different from the current power system. It is a brand new power system.
If the power of Death, the power of Hollows, and the power of Quincy restrain each other but can still be attributed to the broad scope of spiritual power, then the power of Hell is the power that is completely opposite to spiritual power.
puff!
Cangdu's body was torn apart, blood gushing out. (End of this chapter)
