Chapter 283: Respective Rivals

There are many people in this world who look like monsters, such as the Hollows in Hueco Mundo.

There are also some who look like dogs, such as Komamura Sajin.

But this was the first time they had seen something that looked like a hand.

This is a left hand, with special chains connecting the five fingers. In the palm of the hand, there are organs such as eyes and mouth.

"What on earth are you?"

After seeing the other person's true appearance, Mako Hirako couldn't help but ask.

After hearing what Hirako Mako said, the hand immediately replied, "I am Penida Pacaja!"

Although it is just a palm, it still has its name.

This name was given to him by Youhabach, and it has extraordinary meaning to him.

In this world, names have extremely special meanings. Hyoshube Ichibei is able to modify the real names of others through special means, thereby making them lose their power and the essence of their existence.

Even though it was just an arm, after having a real name, it was still almost the same as a living creature and was a well-deserved life.

For Penida-Pacaja, this is more of a recognition.

Mako Hirako and the others quickly came to their senses from the fact that the other party was an arm. No matter how strange the other party looked, he was still a subordinate of Yhwach and was an obstacle in their way at the moment. They had to get rid of this guy.

However, it is not so easy to defeat Penidad-Pacaja.

The power of Penida-Pacaja's holy text is called "Enforcement". He can inject his nerves into all living or inanimate solids, thereby forcibly manipulating them and changing their trajectory. Of course, this ability also has its shortcomings.

But at least for now, Mako Hirako and others have not yet seen through its weakness. Instead, Zaraki and Kensei Muguruma, after approaching Penida Pakaja, were directly hit hard by the opponent's strange ability.

In addition to the power of the holy text, Penida-Pacaja has another identity.

In other words, the latter is his true essence.

The power of the holy text is only a part of his true power.

His true identity is the Left Arm of the Spirit King.

Thousands of years ago, Yhwach led the Empire of Light to attack Soul Society. On the eve of the war, the leader of Squad Zero, Hyoshubu Ichibei, had a meeting with Yhwach, but unfortunately the conversation did not end well and the two parted unhappily.

After the negotiations failed, Hyoshubu Ichibei took out the Soul King's left arm and sealed some of Yhwach's abilities.

This is also the reason why Yhwach lost to Captain Yamamoto a thousand years ago.

However, no one expected that after the defeat a thousand years ago, Yhwach did not die. Instead, he grasped the will of the Soul King, and under the secret influence and help of the Soul King's will, he came back to life with even greater strength than a thousand years ago. In addition, the Soul King's left arm that was used to seal him in the past became his aid. With the power of "forward" corresponding to his left arm, he evolved into a real life and became one of Yhwach's personal guards.

New battles continue to break out.

……

the other side.

Soi Fong, Byakuya Kuchiki, Shunsui Kyoraku, Nanao Ise, Kaien Shiba, Rukia Kuchiki and others came together by chance and encountered new enemies.

In this battle at the Spirit King Palace, not all captains and deputy captains were present.

Some people were seriously injured and ended up staying in Soul Society to recuperate.

Such is the case with the vice-captain of the second division and Abarai Renji.

However, it is still quite subtle when this group of people get together.

If the people like Hirako and Mako could be considered the Masked Army team in the original work, then these people together would be the well-deserved noble team.

The fake noble team was the former Sixth Division.

Although the former Sixth Division regarded itself as an aristocratic team and commanded all matters related to the nobility, in fact there were still many members who were not of aristocratic origin.

The team currently formed by these people can be considered a truly aristocratic team.

It can be said that all of them are of noble origin.

Although Ise Nanao grew up in the countryside, it was only because Kyoraku Shunsui hid her background. The Ise family, as a Shinto family with a very long heritage, had a very deep relationship with the five great nobles in the past and was considered a member of the nobles.

However, the process of these people encountering the enemy was not as harmonious as imagined.

"Rukia..."

Kuchiki Byakuya's exclamation was heard, and his words were filled with deep anxiety and worry.

Earlier, after that bizarre burst of light, they were separated from the main force.

Fortunately, they were not far away from each other, and through the perception of spiritual pressure, they gathered together.

Rukia was planning to explore the changed Soul King Palace, but before she had taken a few steps, she was shot.

Guns are not uncommon in Soul Society today. Many Kidō weapons are manufactured with reference to the thermal weapons in the real world. These weapons have greatly enhanced the overall strength of the Gotei 13.

Unexpectedly, some Quincy members also used this type of weapon.

The only good news was that the bullet passed through Rukia's shoulder and did not hit her head or heart. Although Rukia was seriously injured, she did not take her life.

"It is you!"

Kyoraku Shunsui looked a little grim when he saw the enemy attacking Rukia in front of him.

"I didn't expect that we were so destined to be together."

On the opposite side, the Quincy with a cold expression and holding a sniper rifle also said the same thing to Kyoraku Shunsui.

The Quincy's name is Litjie-Barro, and he is the captain of the Imperial Guards of the God of Pardon. Previously, he had participated in the Battle of Seireitei and had fought against Kyoraku Shunsui, but there was no follow-up to that battle because Haschwalth later obtained the spiritual vein under Karakura Town, and the Emperor used the spiritual vein to open a passage to the Soul King Palace. He had to give up the battle with Kyoraku Shunsui and came to the Soul King Palace to join the battle.

After defeating Squad Zero and after His Majesty the Emperor devoured the Soul King.

He received another order from Hasward.

Protect His Majesty the Emperor and prevent any existence from disturbing Him until dawn.

In the Spirit King's Palace, there is no distinction between day and night; it is daytime all day long.

But in the real world, it is already night.

Lijie Barrow didn't know the exact time, but he knew that as long as he could block all the enemies and wait until His Majesty woke up, this world would completely belong to them, the Quincy.

"Everyone be careful, this guy's ability is tricky."

After speaking to Lijie-Barrow, Kyoraku Shunsui gave instructions to the people around him.

He explained Litje Barrow's abilities in a few words.

Everyone learned that the opponent's attack could penetrate everything and there was no way to defend against it. Among them, Byakuya Kuchiki couldn't help but think of the Ace-Nott he encountered before. Ace-Nott's power of fear was also an ability that could not be defended against. When he faced Ace-Nott, he suffered a lot. It was because of the opponent that Renji suffered a heavy blow and therefore did not follow him to the Soul King Palace to participate in the battle.

"Even if you know my ability, so what?"

When Kyoraku Shunsui was telling everyone about his abilities, Litjie Barrow also heard these words, but he did not take it seriously and even told everyone about his abilities.

"My ability is to penetrate everything."

"Anything that is hit by my bullets will be penetrated. No matter how strong your defense is, it will not be able to stop it."

As he spoke, he looked at the seriously injured Rukia.

"She was lucky, she just hurt her shoulder, but you may not be so lucky."

As he spoke, he raised the sniper rifle in his hand and aimed it at the people in front of him.

"My attacks will be aimed at your heart or head."

"As long as I hit you, you will definitely die!"

As he spoke, he pulled the trigger of the sniper rifle in his hand.

Although it is a sniper rifle, it is still different from the sniper rifles used by humans in the modern world. Lijie-Barrow's weapon only looks like a sniper rifle, but it is actually a spirit bow, and the bullet it releases is a unique sacred arrow of destruction. Since it is a sacred arrow of destruction, it is naturally different from normal bullets in some aspects.

For example, it has infinite bullets.

For example, it is bursty.

In an instant, a large number of spirit particle bullets were released towards the people in front.

Because Rukia was seriously injured, Byakuya Kuchiki could only hold Rukia and use flash step to dodge.

The rest of them dodged and attacked Lijie Barrow at the same time.

Because Kyōraku Shunsui had informed them of Litjie Barrow's abilities, they did not dare to be overconfident. There was no other way, because among the few people here, Kyōraku Shunsui had the most seniority, so his words were still somewhat credible.

"Since you can't defend yourself, you just need to use instant movement to dodge it."

Soi-Fong thought so.

She is very confident in her flash step.

When Yoruichi was still the captain of the Second Division, he often trained her, and later taught her all the unique skills of Shunsho. She did not disappoint Yoruichi's expectations, and she practiced Shunsho to a proficient level, and even innovated and created her own Shunsho.

Previously, Yoruichi stepped down as captain and asked her to take over as captain of the second team, which she actually found a little hard to accept.

But she had no choice but to take over the position of captain due to Mr. Ye's firm attitude.

After becoming the captain of the second squad, she became even more cautious and did not dare to relax at all.

The same was true when facing the enemy at this moment. She was extremely cautious and wanted to use all her strength without hiding anything.

Shiba Kaien and Kyoraku Shunsui also used flash step to dodge each other's attacks.

As for Ise Nanao, after the battle broke out, she ran aside according to Kyoraku Shunsui's instructions.

She knew that she was not strong enough and could not play any role in a frontal battle. For now, she could only stay aside and observe secretly to see if she could see through Lijie Barrow's flaws.

However, it is extremely difficult to find Lijie Barrow's flaws.

The Quincy who are able to become members of the Stern Cross Knights are all the best among the Quincy and have their own outstanding qualities.

The Divine Pardon Guards are the best among the Stern Cross Knights.

The ordinary members of the Stern Cross Knights are competing against the captain of the Gotei 13.

The target that these four of them were facing was Squad Zero.

Facts have also proved that they do have the strength to fight against Team Zero.

Even though they were once killed by Shutara Senjumaru's Bankai, they were eventually resurrected. On the contrary, the members of Squad Zero led by Hyoshubu Ichibei were completely wiped out and all died.

……

"This road doesn't work!"

On another street, a burly man with black skin, wearing a mask with wing-like decorations, medium-length golden hair, a red cape and black trousers, and armor on the front of his limbs stood in front of Ichigo and others and said so.

If the previous two groups can be divided into the masked army team and the noble team, then this group can be regarded as the father-son team and the master-apprentice team.

Ichigo Kurosaki, Isshin Kurosaki, Toshiro Hitsugaya, as well as the Fullbringers like Yasutora Chadari and Kūgo Ginjo are all in this team.

Among them, the relationship between Ichigo and Isshin, and the relationship between Isshin and Hitsugaya Toshiro, needless to say, and Chad Yasutora has also received instruction from Ginjo Kūgo and others, and learned the Fullbring from Ginjo Kūgo.

As for Ichigo's other two companions.

Orihime Inoue did not come to the Soul King Palace this time, because there were too many injured people in Soul Society, and she would be more useful if she stayed in Soul Society, and Ichigo did not want her to put herself in danger.

If they can defeat the enemy, it would be best if Orihime Inoue did not come. On the contrary, if the enemy is truly invincible, even if Orihime Inoue came here, it would be of no use.

"Dad, let me deal with him!"

Ichigo said this as he looked at the enemy in front of him.

Then, holding two swords, he rushed towards the enemy named "Gerald Valkyrie".

To some extent, Ichigo is actually a very similar person to Zaraki. When facing an opponent, they both like to rush forward without saying a word. The only difference is that although Ichigo is reckless, he is not brainless. He is better at discovering the enemy's weaknesses during the battle. After all, he is a top student in the school.

The reason why he likes to rush forward is because he has a straightforward personality.

But right now, when we don’t know the enemy’s strength, sometimes, rushing forward directly is the best solution.

It might lead to failure, but it might also break many of the enemy's plans and quickly expose their trump cards.

Just as the three members of the God's Pardon Guard were fighting with their opponents.

The last member of the Divine Pardon Guard also encountered his match.

If the previous groups of Grim Reapers could be barely named, then this last group can only be said to be an old friend group.

Natsuki, Yoruichi, and Urahara Kisuke, these people got together by coincidence.

Plus there’s the special Quincy, Uryu Ishida.

With a lineup like this, I don’t know how we can lose.

Their enemy is Yaskin-Nakluval, whose holy word is "lethal dose". (End of this chapter)
