"The rest of those guys are left to you."
After dealing with Dorisk, Natsuki spoke to Chojiro Suzuki who was still in the Bankai state.
Of course, the Quincy group is not limited to the Stern Cross Knights, or rather, the Stern Cross Knights are just the most elite ones among them. In addition to these guys, there are many other Quincies, but it is not known whether they are Quincies that already existed in the Western world, or Quincies that were recently transformed by Yhwach over the years.
Xia Mu guessed that it might be both.
It should be noted that in the original work, even the Hollows of Hueco Mundo can be given the power of a Quincy by Yhwach.
It can be seen that transforming into a Quincy is not too difficult for Yhwach.
Chojiro Suzuki nodded.
He then took the Death God behind him and took the initiative to fight against those ordinary Quincy.
In the Soul Society, the sounds of shouting and killing continued to echo.
On another battlefield.
I don't know when Byakuya Kuchiki, Renji Abarai, and Rukia Kuchiki got together.
The three of them fought against Ace-Nott together.
However, even so, the three of them did not gain any advantage.
Ace-Nott's ability is really disgusting.
When facing his attack, not only are all physical defenses useless, but on the contrary, if you are hit by his light cone-like attack, you will either die of fear or become suspicious and unable to concentrate.
It is naturally impossible for people like Byakuya Kuchiki and Renji Abarai to die of fear.
But it is a fact that this kind of attack can affect their attention.
During a fight, it is very dangerous if you lose your concentration. When danger comes, your reaction will be a beat slower and you will be killed.
Although Byakuya Kuchiki and others are very powerful.
He endured the fear and injured Ace-Nott, but the other party still had the "Perfect Holy Body". After Xing Zhang was unable to seize the Death God's Bankai, the Perfect Holy Body became the most powerful means of the Quincy. When they were in trouble, activating the Perfect Holy Body and using the power of the Perfect Holy Body to fight was the most correct choice.
Like other Quincy, Ace-Nott's image changed greatly after using the Holy Word. Perhaps it was because the power of the Holy Word was "fear", so after using the Holy Word, his image also became closer to that indescribable and terrifying image.
Of course, for the gods of death, this kind of horror in appearance cannot scare them. After all, the image of the hollows themselves is varied, and many of them have appearances that are really hard to describe.
What really made the three of them feel difficult was Ace-Nott's ability.
After using the Holy Body, the opponent's fear ability was further strengthened. A wall formed by countless eyes was formed under the opponent's control, wrapping the three people inside.
Being stared at by a sea of eyes.
Even though the three people closed their eyes instinctively, they still couldn't help but feel fear.
When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring into you.
This sentence may be said another way.
When you stand in front of the abyss, even if you don't look at it, it is still staring at you.
"Go to hell with fear!"
Ace-Nott, with a ferocious look, looked at the three people who were wrapped in the "giant eye wall" and fell into fear. Ace-Nott's voice was cold. It must be said that these three people had some ability, and the cooperation between the three was perfect. Facing his fear, even if they could not concentrate, the three people did not fall into self-doubt. Instead, they caused him a lot of trouble and dealt him a heavy blow at one point.
Fortunately, he still had Holy Communion.
After opening the holy body, all the injuries recovered. At this moment, he had an absolute upper hand.
He wanted all three of them to die.
A thought came to mind.
Arrows like light cones condensed out from around his body. These were also sacred arrows of destruction, but because they were mixed with the power of Es-Nott's holy words, these arrows contained an extremely strange power.
The arrow breaks through the air!
The three people who were trapped in absolute fear and temporarily unable to move by the giant eye wall were about to be killed.
The scarlet knife light broke through the air.
First, it fell on these flying sacred arrows of destruction, destroying them and turning them into pure spirit particles. Then, the unexhausted sword light swept up these spirit particles, making the sword light more vigorous, and it fell on the giant eye wall from the outside.
This move of Ace-Nott is indeed very powerful. Even captain-level Byakuya Kuchiki, Renji Abarai, and the powerful Rukia Kuchiki can be controlled by him. However, there is a huge flaw. With such means, the defense is extremely fragile, especially from the outside world. It can be destroyed by a slightly powerful attack.
boom! !
The giant eyewall collapsed.
The bodies of Byakuya Kuchiki, Renji Abarai, and Byakuya Kuchiki inside suddenly shook. They turned pale and felt nauseous, but this feeling did not last long because the fear that originally filled their hearts had completely disappeared.
They opened their eyes.
Then I saw the red knife light coming towards Esnot like a huge wave.
Ace-Nott condensed countless sacred arrows of destruction to collide with it.
The roar continued to echo, and during this process the spirit particles turned into a storm and raged in all directions.
"Captain Xia Mu, be careful, his ability is..."
Kuchiki Byakuya's mind was shaken, and he reminded Natsuki.
During the fight with Ace-Nott, Byakuya Kuchiki was not just passively taking the beating. He also figured out the nature of some of Ace-Nott's abilities. For example, the opponent's abilities seemed to have no effect on things that had no vital signs.
But even if he saw through all this, and joined forces with Renji and Rukia to inflict a certain degree of trauma on Ace-Nott, the problem was that this degree of trauma was not enough to kill Ace-Nott. On the contrary, after the other party used the Holy Body, all his injuries disappeared, and his strength was further enhanced. The three of them fell into crisis.
"As expected, since Kuchiki Rukia hasn't mastered Bankai, even if you know her weakness, it's still hard to cause fatal damage to her."
Xia Mu thought of the things in the original book.
In the original work, the first time Rukia Kuchiki used her Bankai was against this guy.
Rather than showing the results of Kuchiki Rukia's training in Squad Zero, it is more accurate to say that Kuchiki Rukia's Bankai exists specifically to target Ace-Nott.
Ace-Nott's ability is very strange.
It can make people feel fear, fear breeds fear, and suspicion breeds deeper suspicion.
But this ability has a big flaw, which is that it is ineffective against beings without vital signs.
Rukia Kuchiki's Bankai can lower her body temperature to absolute zero. In that state, her body is very fragile and also very dangerous. Of course, because the body temperature is too low, there are no vital signs. Anyway, the normal body temperature cannot be that low.
Of course, in the end, it was Rukia Kuchiki's Bankai that defeated Ace-Nott. In the final analysis, it was because the other Shinigami of the Gotei 13 were not strong enough. If they were strong enough, they could just rely on their powerful offensive to hit Ace-Nott head-on like Captain-General Yamamoto, without having to consider the opponent's abilities. As long as the offensive was strong enough, they could deal with the opponent before he could activate his abilities, and any weird abilities could be ignored.
"So, I can only deal with this guy."
Natsuki thought so and did not respond to Byakuya Kuchiki's words.
Instead, he flashed and rushed towards Ace-Nott.
"Is there another one to die?"
Ace-Nott was extremely angry when he saw Xia Mu attacking him.
Just when he was about to get rid of Kuchiki Byakuya and the other two guys, Natsuki ruined his plans. Naturally, he was in a bad mood.
The power of the holy text is activated by it.
The power of fear surged towards Xia Mu.
Xia Mu's expression did not change.
He didn't even activate his Bankai.
Although after Bankai, he could easily defeat Ace-Nott, for example, by defining himself as "not a living person", Ace-Nott's power of fear would naturally lose its effect on him, but there was no need for this.
Because even without using the power of Bankai, he can still do this.
Among the powers that Xia Mu possesses now, in addition to the power of life, there is another corresponding force, which is the power of death.
The power of hell instantly filled Xia Mu's body.
Xia Mu's body was filled with the smell of death and decay.
No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a living being.
The power of Es-Nott can only work on the living. When facing Xia Mu, the dead, those light cones containing the power of "fear" fell on Xia Mu but did not cause any harm.
"Your power is useless to me!"
Xia Mu opened his mouth and declared a fact to Ace-Nott.
"How could this be?"
Ace-Nott couldn't accept it.
He immediately burst out with even more powerful strength.
Xia Mu swung his sword, and a deep black light appeared in the red sword light.
After taking the power of hell as the dominant force, his sword light also changed, and the slashing blow he released contained the destructive power to annihilate everything.
All of Ace-Nott's counterattacks were destroyed by Xia Mu's sword.
The powerful sword light fell on Ace-Nott's body.
He could bring fear to people, while Xia Mu brought him pain.
Extreme pain surged into Ace-Nott's body, and many wounds appeared on his body. In the pain, Ace-Nott's power erupted further, and his appearance changed again. He wanted to use stronger power to resist Xia Mu's attack.
A painful scream came from Ace-Nott's mouth, and his body swelled rapidly. Because of the expansion, his skin could not bear the weight of the enlarged body and cracked immediately. Scarlet blood gushed out from the suture marks that already existed in the center of his body. The faded skin floated around his head, his eyeballs were sunken and pale, his ribs were exposed, and his lower limbs were twisted. The whole person's image became indescribable.
"Your name is Ace, and you can really turn into a giant. Unfortunately, it's not a giant of light."
Xia Mu couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the bigger Ace-Nott.
Ace-Nott obviously has never watched Ultraman, nor does he know that there is a butcher in the distant Land of Light whose favorite thing to do to monsters is to dismember them in various ways. He even found an excuse for himself that super beasts have no sense of pain.
He looked at Xia Mu, whose expression was still calm. His words trembled slightly, as if he was enduring unspeakable pain.
"You have pushed me to this extent, God of Death. Now, it is your turn to face the real fear."
"Fear? No, it should be you who is facing death!" Xia Mu obviously had a different opinion and said so to Es-Nott.
While talking.
He swung the scarlet Zanpakuto in his hand.
The power of hell is mixed with the spiritual pressure.
Even though Ace-Nott entered the final stage of the Holy Body and his image changed drastically, becoming extremely huge, to Xia Mu, the opponent was no better than a Hollow. After all, a Hollow was also huge in size, and Hollow Flash was a very dangerous power, but Ace-Nott was not like that.
Although his power of fear can be directed at most people.
But for someone like Xia Mu who possesses special powers, it is a useless power.
Xia Mu is not afraid of this kind of power and can easily deal with Ace-Nott.
Even if the opponent's body becomes extremely huge.
Xia Mu's figure flashed and the slash landed on Es-Nott's body at close range.
All defenses and attacks were easily destroyed.
Boom!
Ace-Nott's tall and burly figure fell to the ground.
Then, he recovered from the state of perfect holy body, and his body quickly shrank again. His soul rushed out of his body, wanting to return to Youhabach's body like Dolisk's soul before.
Xia Mu had previously prevented the return of Dorisk's soul, so he naturally would not allow Ace-Nott's soul to return at this moment. He used the same trick again and used the thing created by Urahara Kisuke to immediately annihilate Ace-Nott's soul.
It was also when Ace-Nott's soul was annihilated by Xia Mu.
Elsewhere, Yhwach, who was fighting with Captain-General Yamamoto, became inexplicably angry.
When the incident happened in Hueco Mundo, he discovered that the soul that was supposed to return did not return to his body. Later, during his meeting with Natsuki, he learned that it was Natsuki who did it. He even took action personally and took back Haschwalth's soul from Natsuki.
But no one expected that during this war, Xia Mu would do such a thing again.
Yhwach can accept the death of his subordinates.
Because even if his subordinates die, he can resurrect those who are valuable to him.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the souls of these people can return to him.
At this moment, the soul could not return, which was exactly what Youhabach could not accept.
So it is natural for him to be angry. (End of this chapter)
