Countless spirits gathered towards Xia Mu.

The Quincy possesses the ability to gather and manipulate spirit particles.

However, at this moment, many Quincy suddenly discovered that there were no more spirit particles within the range where they were.

The spirit particles disappeared and it became a soul-free zone?

No, it’s not that the spirit particles disappeared, but all the spirit particles in the area they were in were sucked away by others using special abilities.

In the Quincy's perception, they only sensed that many spirit particles were all flying towards the sky, and in a short moment, they gathered around Natsuki's body, and then were controlled by Natsuki, lingering on Natsuki's Zanpakutō.

"cut!"

With a slash of sword, the scarlet blade light covered half of the sky.

Because of the huge meteorite falling from the sky that Gremi imagined, the environment of the entire Soul Society became extremely dark. At this moment, in addition to the darkness, the red light made the environment in the Soul Society become extremely strange.

However, this did not cause despair among the people.

Although this meteorite is very huge, if it falls, the entire Soul Society will be destroyed.

But it has not yet let everyone reach the point of despair.

After all, even if Natsuki didn't take action, Urahara Kisuke would.

The scarlet knife light gushed out, and in an instant, it swallowed up the huge meteorite in the sky. Then, extremely terrifying power erupted from it, and in an instant, spider-web-like cracks appeared on the meteorite. The cracks were very small at first, and then continued to expand and grow. In a short moment, this huge meteorite had shattered into countless pieces. They shattered into dust and rubble, and were about to fall from mid-air.

But it didn't fall after all.

Because after Gremi saw the meteorite being chopped into pieces by Xia Mu's sword, his mentality was a little shattered.

This gigantic meteorite was imagined by Gremi using his amazing imagination. In his expectation, when this meteorite falls, the entire Soul Society, including the powerful enemy Natsuki, will be destroyed.

And I can use my extremely powerful imagination to survive this terrible crisis.

At that time, he will be able to prove his strength and let these guys understand why he is the strongest in the Stern Cross Knights.

However, his pride did not last a moment.

The meteorite was destroyed.

One can imagine the impact this scene had on Gremi.

As a result, Gremi could no longer maintain his imagination.

Even though he tried to imagine the scene of the meteorite recondensing into one and continuing to fall, Xia Mu's knife flash kept replaying in his mind, constantly affecting his imagination.

"How can it be!"

“Such a knife!”

"Such strength... I cannot accept it. I will never accept it!"

Many thoughts kept flashing through Gremi's mind.

Xia Mu's strength constantly impacted him, which made it impossible for him to concentrate at all, let alone imagine defeating Xia Mu.

Especially after the meteorite shattered, the scene in which Xia Mu had previously displayed many methods to disintegrate all his attacks kept replaying in his mind.

"Can't win!"

"There's no way we can win."

Gremi didn't know how he could defeat such a powerful enemy.

In other words, there is no way that you can defeat the other party at all.

Imagination is a double-edged sword. It can make Gremmy possess extremely powerful strength, but when necessary, it can also put Gremmy into deep trouble. Previously, Gremmy's self-doubt led to a sharp decline in strength. Fortunately, he strengthened his beliefs at the critical moment and summoned such a large meteorite to kill Xia Mu.

If this meteorite successfully fell, it would kill Xia Mu.

Unfortunately, the meteorite did not fall down successfully, but was chopped into pieces by Xia Mu instead.

When the sword was chopped down, not only the meteorite exploded, but also Gremi's invincible state of mind was broken.

His heart was broken, and it was not easy to mend it.

In this situation, it is completely impossible to concentrate.

When many scenes of defeat and death emerged in Gremi's mind.

Because of his special imagination, in an instant, Gremi's body began to break into pieces like broken porcelain.

But he was not annihilated directly.

On the contrary, after his body was broken, Gremi found a new way to turn the tide.

"My body is no longer strong enough to defeat you. I will break it down and then stand up again. The breaking of my body is to allow me to gain even greater strength. Yes, that's it."

"You are a monster. If I also have your monster-like power, doesn't that mean I can defeat you?"

So, Gremi no longer sought strength from within himself, but began to seek more powerful strength from Xia Mu.

He imagined Xia Mu's previous powerful strength appearing in his body.

In an instant, powerful force burst out from his broken body. In a short moment, Gremi's power continued to surge. If you look closely at the nature of these spiritual pressures, you will find that they are very similar to Xia Mu's power. However, this burst of power did not last too long.

Gremi's body tilted and he fell directly to the ground.

The broken body that he was trying to repair when his power exploded stopped recovering in an instant.

"!!!"

Gremi's eyes showed confusion.

"It seems that this is the end of your journey."

Xia Mu watched Gremi doing these things calmly.

I thought that Gremi would bring me some new surprises after the meteorite, but I didn't expect that it would only be able to go this far.

"So this is ah."

Lying on the ground with his body broken, Gremi showed a look of relief on his face, "I thought that as long as I had the same power as you, I could defeat you, but I didn't expect that my body couldn't bear that power at all."

"Natsuki Kenpachi, you are so powerful!"

“This time, I lost.”

"But what I want to tell you is that my imagination was correct."

"Extremely correct. I have correctly imagined every aspect of your power, but the only thing I didn't expect is that only you can praise this power, and my body is simply unable to bear this power."

"The reason I lost to you is not because of my poor imagination, nor because of my weak strength."

"Have you finished talking nonsense?" Xia Mu obviously had no intention of listening to Gremi's nonsense. Although the other party seemed very open-minded after the defeat, he was still an enemy after all. There was nothing to talk about with an enemy.

Xia Mu swung his knife, instantly cutting off Gremi's last chance of survival.

As his vitality was completely annihilated, Gremi's body also vanished into thin air, as if he had never existed.

At the same time, the platform where Xia Mu was standing also shrank rapidly, and returned to normal amid a rumbling sound on the ground.

These are all things that Gremi imagined with the help of his imagination.

When Gremi died, these creations of imagination naturally disappeared. "Is this the brain of the Soul King?"

Xia Mu held the knife, lowered his head, and looked at the place where Gremi disappeared.

After its body disappeared, only a brain remained.

This is Gremi's true self.

The other person's body was just a figment of his imagination, but its essence was this brain.

In the Stern Cross Knights, there are actually quite a few people who are related to the Soul King.

Some of these guys are made from the body tissues of the Spirit King.

But even among those guys, Gremi's existence is extremely special.

After all, the brain is an extremely important part of the human body. The only part that can be compared with it is the heart.

If Yhwach is truly the incarnation of the Soul King’s heart, then Gremmy can be considered equal to him in terms of status.

This can actually be seen in the power displayed by Gremi.

He can turn the imaginary into the real and do all kinds of incredible things through his imagination.

Isn’t this another form of omniscience and omnipotence?
The only difference is that Gremmy does not have a soul as powerful as Yhwach, so even if his imagination can give him extremely powerful power, he himself cannot bear this power.

This was also the main reason for Gremi's defeat.

As his thoughts raced, Natsuki stabbed out with his Zanpakutō.

His knife touched the Soul King's brain, just as it had done in the past.

The Soul King's brain melted instantly, and then merged into Natsuki's Zanpakutō and was absorbed by Natsuki's Zanpakutō.

Because Xia Mu's sword already carries enough soul fragments, a large part of its power is related to the Spirit King.

Therefore, even if the Spirit King's brain was just integrated now, it would be digested in an instant.

As it digested, Xia Mu suddenly discovered that his sword had acquired some new abilities.

The power of "Word Spirit"!
Or in other words, what you say is what you do.

As long as he recites something, he can realize it with the help of the gathered spirit particles.

"It's somewhat similar to my Bankai abilities."

Xia Mu commented on this new ability.

After he achieved Bankai, he could manipulate spirit particles and rewrite everything in the universe.

And now, after devouring the Soul King's brain, the Zanpakutō has similar abilities.

Although the abilities are very similar, Xia Mu did not say that this ability is useless.

After all, this is an ability that can be used in the initial release state.

Although his Bankai is very powerful, in order to use that ability one has to enter the Bankai state. There is still a slight difference between the two.

"Now, it's time to end the battle in Seireitei."

Natsuki said this as he looked at the Seireitei engulfed in war.

……

In the Palace of the Spirit King.

Compared to the battles within Soul Society, the battles here are relatively simple.

Four members of Youhabach's personal guard faced off against several members of Squad Zero.

As for the person involved, Yhwach himself, led Haschwalth towards the Soul King's Great Inner Palace.

As members of Yhwach's personal guard, the four are extremely powerful.

Even though this is the home court of Team Zero, they still put heavy pressure on several members of Team Zero.

Faced with the powerful strength of several of Yhwach's personal guards.

As a result, the members of Squad Zero also showed off their unique skills one after another.

But even so, they were not enough to defeat these four.

So, there is only one way.

Use Bankai.

Before becoming members of Team Zero, Shutara Senjumaru, Nimaiya Oetsu, Hikifune Kiryu, and Kirinji Tenshiro were all extremely powerful Shinigami. After becoming members of Team Zero, because of the power of the Soul King, they became one with the entire Three Realms.

In this state, once they use Bankai, because their own existence is bound to the Three Realms, Bankai can also cause the Three Realms to vibrate.

And after some discussion.

The four decided that Shutara Senjumaru would perform Bankai.

After all, in this situation, Shutara Senjumaru's Bankai is most useful.

Under the gaze of Litjebaro and other four members of the Youhabach Guard, a surprising scene occurred.

Kirinji Tenshiro, Nimaiya Oyue, and Hikifune Kiryu each held their own Zanpakutō and then committed suicide.

In the previous battle, these members of Squad Zero caused them a lot of trouble.

Although we didn't win, we didn't lose directly either.

The current situation has not yet reached the point where suicide is necessary.

The motives of these three members of Squad Zero left the members of the Divine Pardon Guards completely baffled.

Just when they were deeply confused.

Suddenly, extremely powerful spiritual pressure burst out from Shutara Senjumaru's body.

"Boom, boom, click, click, boom, click. If the first string is released, all the flowers will become an eye. If you look directly into this eye, both eyes will be destroyed. If the second string is released, all the gold will become glory. No one can stand wearing this armor. If the third string is released, the black sand will become intestines. If you touch it with your hand, you will die. If the fourth string is released, the bottom of the mattress will freeze. Once you step into it, you will never wake up. If the fifth string is released, the wilderness will be burned. There is no way to escape and it will turn into ashes. If the sixth string is released, the night will be full of stars. Once you are captured, everything will be over. This is the star of death. The evildoers will see it with their own eyes. There are thousands of threads and they are in an orderly manner. This machine is the six-color rune machine of death."

An extremely deep voice came out from Shutara Senjumaru's mouth.

As the long chant echoed, Lijiebarrow and the other three suddenly discovered that the environment around them had changed.

An extremely huge textile machine appeared behind Shutara Senjumaru.

On the loom, silk threads flow, as if the river of destiny is also flowing in it.

This is the loom that can weave destiny.

This is Shutara Senjumaru's Bankai - Sudhakara Hashiratsuji!
After the Bankai was performed, Litjiebaro and the other four immediately understood why the other three members of Squad Zero committed suicide.

Because the Bankai of the Zero Squad members are too powerful, and because they themselves are one with the Three Realms, once their Bankai is used, the Three Realms will be turbulent and shaken, which is not conducive to the stability of the Three Realms. Therefore, under normal circumstances, they use each other's lives to establish a blood alliance seal, and the seal will only be lifted when the three members of the Zero Squad die.

This, it seems, came at a heavy price.

But the members of the Zero Squad are very special. They have no life or death. Even if they die, as long as Zero Squad Rikuden is still there, they can be resurrected by Hyoshubu Ichibei. (End of this chapter)
