Kazan…
That's right, if it's this person...
If it were him, he would definitely be able to know the systematic use of Ghost Hands, and he would definitely know how to counter Ozma's power.
I don’t know why, but Maozhihua just believes that.
She stood up and walked outside.
"I want to see Qilin Temple."
Facing the divine soldiers of the Spirit King Palace who were guarding Wu Jian, Mao Zhihua said calmly.
"I have heard what you said, but I am not sure whether Alice's words are true."
The divine soldier outside the door shook his head and refused Maozhihua's request.
"You can convey the news to him and he will agree." Faced with Shenbing's insistence, Maozhihua did not make it difficult for him.
However, what he got in exchange was the sneers of eight thousand people on the side.
"How do you still look like a 'Kenpachi' now? I really can't stand it anymore, Unohana...retsu!"
"...Now I am the captain of the fourth division, not 'Kenpachi'."
Unohana didn't have any other fluctuations in her heart, and she didn't have any special attitude towards Yachiru on the surface.
Although Yachiru also came down from the Soul King Palace, she was not shaped into a king key, so she entered Mujian along with the captain.
After hearing Unohana's answer, she turned her head as if her ears were dirty, closed her eyes and ears.
Tick tock tick…
Time passes by second by second.
Unohana was still waiting, and the other captains didn't change much, and then until...
"It seems that we still have a good understanding..."
Qilin Temple's voice appeared outside Wu Jian, who was still holding the straw in his mouth, looking carefree.
"When we discovered that location, do you still remember what 'Crimson' said at that time?"
Qilin Temple signaled the divine soldiers to release the Flower of Mao, so the two of them left Wujian. On the way, Qilin Temple looked up at the sky and said calmly
"Of course I remember it. If you want to say that, Master Xunbo Tenshirou, who was already unconscious at that time, shouldn't remember it, right?"
"Spare me." Qilin Temple smiled bitterly and then said seriously.
"At that time, we asked what the Dragon Apostle was, and 'Crimson''s answer was 'part of God. When all the Apostles die, God will return'."
After finishing speaking, Qilin Temple said what Alice had said before.
"According to that 'Elemental Holy Spirit', the great will caused the birth of the gods at the end of the world, and according to the murals we saw, the gods eventually sacrificed themselves in a form of 'self-sacrifice'..."
"So is there a possibility..."
The more Qilin Temple spoke, the more certain he became, and the more he spoke, the more terrifying he became.
"Apostles are another form of these 'gods'?! They 'sacrifice' and then transform into apostles. Although I don't know what they got in return for their 'sacrifice of themselves', but..."
"Their deaths must have some important meaning!"
After listening, Maozhihua also nodded slowly. She and Qilin Temple walked towards the center of Jinglingting, and at the same time she expressed her guess.
"Is it the return of the gods...or some great will? If it is based on this theory, then Bakar's words need to be reconsidered."
"That Herder, or someone else, they used conspiracy and tricks to make the apostles die one by one, and then speed up the day when the god returns."
"However, we don't know what the consequences of God's return will be, but the apostles have indeed caused huge trauma to Soul Society."
Kirin Temple also agreed, "Yes, you can't give up on dealing with Ozma Retsu because of the unknown god. Now Hueco Mundo is also under the control of Ozma's pretender. There are wars everywhere. You are sure to go."
?”
If it were in the past, Kirin Temple would definitely not have said that...
Because Unohana's name was Yachiru in the past, she was the captain of the 11th Division and the first Kenpachi, so the battlefield is exactly where she should be.
But now Unohana's name is Retsu, she is the captain of the fourth division, and she is a doctor who has given up the name of "Kenpachi". She is responsible for the medical issues on the home front.
"Reaper or Hollow, it makes no difference to me." Maozhihua said casually.
"In my opinion, death in this world is not white, and Xu is not black. There is no essential difference between the two worlds. They are all gray that drifts with the tide. If Xu is seriously injured in front of me, I will also use Huidao to treat it.
He, this is the essential difference between the current Unohana Retsu and the past Unohana Yazenryu."
"Hoo!" Kirin Temple said in surprise, "I really can't understand it."
He shook his head, and then said, "I really can't understand it."
It is indeed difficult for people to understand that Unohana, who was known as the most evil villain in the Soul Society and was a murderer in the past, would become like this.
It can only be said that he does not understand the thinking of the berserker.
"What about that boy? Under such a disaster as Ozma, what if he cannot meet your expectations?"
Under the shadow of the 'pretender', no one is absolutely safe, because no matter how murderous you are or how close to the nature of the beast, there must be someone you trust by your side.
But under the curse of Ozma's blood, those who are trusted may not be the same as they were in the past. They will not hesitate to stab their friends, lovers, family members, and colleagues who trust them...
But Uzhihua's expression didn't change at all.
"No, this is the only thing that is absolutely impossible..."
She didn't seem to want to mention this matter anymore. It happened that she arrived at their location at this time, so Uzhihua walked straight into a house that had just been built not long ago.
The house was built on the site of the former Fourth Division. Although it is not big, it has all the necessary facilities.
There is only one person in the house...
He was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed tightly. The spiritual pressure on his body was extremely violent, and there were even large areas of black bruises on his body.
Liang Yue...
"This is the third time he has saved Soul Society. The Fourth Division can only save people, but Liang Yue is the one who saves the world even more."
Looking at the former vice-captain, Uzhihua also said with emotion.
For the first time, under the ravages of Bakar's "Ghost Hand", the Oni Swordsmanship was spread, and together with Senjumaru, he developed the Ghost Hand Corrector to suppress it;
In the second battle between Yamamoto Shigekuni and Yhwach, he used the power of stagnation to protect Joreitei;
During the third confrontation with Ozma, he transformed into the Soul King with his right arm and fought to the death to protect Soul Society. If it weren't for Liang Yue, Ozma might have completely destroyed the world by then.
"Perhaps only people like Liang Yue can be recognized by Lord Spirit King."
Qilin Temple also sighed lightly
"The next trip to Hueco Mundo may be extremely dangerous, and we may not be able to come back. Let's see the ones we can see again, such as... that little guy."
"No need..." Maozhihua said softly
"He won't die, and I won't die either. Before the name of 'Kenpachi' is passed down... I can't die."
"Although it's rude to say this, but..."
In front of Liang Yue, the two people who were once friends and later became barely masters and disciples said things they had never said before.
"The current 'Kenpachi' is Yachiru. It's not you and it's not that boy."
"She is different..." Mao Zhihua glanced at Liang Yue one last time, then turned around and walked out the door.
"The Kenpachi of the past, the Kenpachi of the present, and the Kenpachi of the future. Only after the battle between the past and the future can the present reach its peak, and then...the inheritance will begin."
"When that day comes, it will also be the unification of the past, present and future, and it will be...the time when the real 'Kenpachi' is born."
Maozhihua keenly noticed that the word "Kenpachi" nowadays is not only a title, but also a name with power.
After leaving the house, she tore open the space with her hands, and a black hole appeared in Soul Society.
Black accent...
In Soul Society, the only Shinigami with the ability to open a black cavity is Unohana. After conquering the Ghost Hand, she broke the restrictions of a pure Shinigami and gained this ability.
It was precisely because of Heiqiang's ability that she rushed to the rescue of Liang Yue and Qilin Temple in Soul Society in an instant.
And now, they are heading to Hueco Mundo again...
Just like the cycle of fate, first the two of them went to Hueco Mundo, and then entered the Tower of Despair.
A completely different world from Soul Society...
Even the dilapidated Jinglingting is much better than the endless sand...
At first glance, there is only a world of white and black, with white sand below and a black night sky above.
Then……
There is a faint hint of turbidity in the distance, as if blood has soaked into the pool, adding a little color to the monotonous world.
Although, this color is not a good thing...
"I haven't been to Hueco Mundo for so long, I actually feel a little nostalgic."
Kirinji took a deep breath
"Although it's not as good as the Soul King's Palace, the density of souls here is much higher than in Soul Society."
"It's just an exchange of equal value." Unohana walked forward. They didn't know how to get to the Tower of Despair. All they could do was drift with the flow in Hueco Mundo.
"Hon used reason and depravity in exchange for superior abilities. Although the Shinigami did not have the black cavity, steel skin, super-speed regeneration, nerve detection and other abilities, he used the power of research to create the Zanpakutō and summarized the
Kill the ghost with your fists."
Both have their own merits, but for now, Death clearly has the upper hand.
Because they are the crystallization of the wisdom of the group, each person has a power called 'civilization'.
Nearly a thousand years ago, Unohana and Kirinji came to Hueco Mundo to look for Genichi, the experimental subject of the Tsunayashiro family;
Hundreds of years ago, Liang Yue and Qilin Temple came to Hueco Mundo Sky Tower to find the legacy of Bakar's power;
And now, Maozhihua and Kirinji have come to Hueco Mundo again, looking for the original Tower of Despair, seeking hope in despair.
Qilin Temple was there every time, and his mood when he came three times was also different.
This subtle change represents the current situation of the world and the development of the world. People are changing, and so is the world.
However, for now, Qilin Temple still feels that the world is changing too fast...
As an old man, he can hardly keep up with the pace of today's young people...
The entire Hueco Mundo is filled with chaotic spiritual pressure.
It seems that compared to Soul Society's Shinigami, Hollow becomes even more violent after transforming into a pretender. There is almost no room for disguise and he directly transforms into various monsters.
Originally, the voids were devouring each other, and they were devouring each other endlessly in the endless void circle, until one day they stood on the corpses of countless great voids and evolved under the cold moonlight...
evolution……
Evolve further...
Ozma's demonic power cannot change Hollow's instinct, but with the blessing of demonic power, it will transform from the original Arrancar into the alien it once was.
On the basis of being similar to Gui Ren, they have added a bit of a demonic appearance. Compared with the 'pretenders' who are good at betrayal, it is okay to call them demons directly.
If possible, Unohana and Kirinji hope that the pretenders in Soul Society will do the same.
In this case, they don't have to spend a long time to identify each other, they don't have to worry about the betrayal of relatives and friends, and they don't have to let their trust disappear.
However, this is exactly Ozma's purpose...
Betrayed by the nobles and 'betrayed' by the Zanpakutō, he wanted to spread this betrayal and pain to the entire world!
"Speaking of which, if I think about it now, the kid who appeared before must be a Quincy, right?"
I don’t know how long I walked, but I saw with my own eyes an even more cruel Hueco Mundo with killings everywhere, and Kirin Temple’s mood became a little heavier.
He could only recall the past in his mind, hoping to find some details that would allow him to enter the Tower of Despair.
Unohana also thought about it carefully, and then compared it with the power they showed when they fought against Yhwach's Quincy army hundreds of years ago.
She said in a deep voice
"...It is the 'shadow' of the Quincy. If you put it this way, there are Hollows like Kazan and Crimson in the Tower of Despair, as well as Shinigami like Genichi, so it seems understandable that there is also a Quincy.
"
"I really don't know what the owner of the Tower of Despair is like. He can actually make Hollows, Death Gods and Quincy put aside their prejudices and work together. Even heroes like Kazan obey him." Kirin Temple also sighed.
The white sand under your feet is a little hot, the moonlight in the sky is slightly cold, the contradictory Hueco Mundo, the contradictory Hueco Mundo, the mysterious Tower of Despair, the mysterious King...
The world is such a contradictory thing...
"Um?"
Both of them were a little emotional, but at this time Qilin Temple discovered abnormal spiritual pressure, and extremely weak spiritual power fluctuations spread out in the desert pit ahead.
"It's not a devil, go and see."
In Hueco Mundo, Hollows and demons have almost no concept of "serious injury".
Because in Hueco Mundo, serious injury and death are almost equal...
It's either alive in the prime of life or dead, there is no in-between state, no recuperation...
Because there are countless drooling wolves behind every strong man in Hueco Mundo. As long as you show the slightest hint of fatigue, the bloodthirsty wolves will bite you.
Even if they fight to the death, Xu Zheng is a creature that cannot reason. In order to evolve and for the desire that continues to spread from the bottom of their hearts, they will devour...
