Chapter 3 Soul Contract, Zaraki and Kariyaki (500 months)
I don't know how long it took before Hitsugaya slowly woke up.
He was still on the upper floor of the Tower of Delusion, and from the traces of spiritual pressure, it seemed that he had been unconscious for a short time.
He had been enduring the extreme cold with his body just now. After all, he was too young and his spiritual pressure was far inferior to that of Masaaki Matsushima. Even with all-round restraint, he was almost defeated.
"Are you awake?"
However, before he could recover, he heard a voice coming from beside him, and he suddenly fell into an abyss...
This voice belongs to Matsushima Masaaki!
He actually broke through his own ice?! Yes...
Did you lose?!
He looked at the place where Matsushima Masaaki had been frozen, and his heart suddenly felt cold, because the ice had long since broken. Matsushima Masaaki continued to drink, not knowing what he was looking at.
"No need to worry, you didn't lose." He took another sip of wine, seeming to warm himself up and relieve his worries. Matsushima Masaaki said half-ventedly.
"You are too rogue, my ability does not work, I am no match for you, I am a loser!"
"..." Hitsugaya Toshiro didn't reply, and he didn't know what to reply.
In the end, he just moved his lips and said, "Go on, since everyone is still conscious, let's decide the winner."
"Didn't I say it? You didn't lose..." Matsushima Masaaki shook his head
"You didn't lose, it was me who lost."
He was silent for a moment and then said, "In the Tower of Delusion, the loser will die. I lost, so I will definitely die. If your freezing makes me lose, the God of Death will come and take my life. So, in
The Tower of Delusion will only die if you lose."
He once defeated Tsunayashiro Shinji with almost death and made Tsunayashiro Genki retreat. At that time, he did not lose, so the God of Death would not let him die.
"Actually, I'm about to die..."
He suddenly spit out the wine he had drunk, and then pressed his eyebrows with one hand.
"It's just that the power of the God of Death has allowed me... to come back to my senses. I have been here for thousands of years, and I have long been indifferent to life and death. You are a genius. Although you are very young, I really want to wait until a hundred years from now to fight you again.
The field..."
Of course, that's if he doesn't use ghost hands...
"I will take your body out." Hitsugaya said suddenly
"Ah... thank you." Matsushima Masaaki smiled, and then closed his eyes. His voice became weaker and weaker until it disappeared.
Watching this powerful enemy die, Hitsugaya Toshiro picked up the last drink he drank, and then took a sudden swig.
"It's such a warm wine, no wonder you keep drinking it," he said slowly.
People who use the Eight Cold Hells long for warmth. However, they have been in the Tower of Delusion for thousands of years, but they can only finally leave when they die.
After drinking, he was about to take Matsushima Masaaki out, but suddenly he felt something strange.
At this time, Matsushima Masaaki, who had closed his eyes and was silent, suddenly began to become blurry, as if his body was gradually being decomposed into spirit sons.
The moment his right hand, the mutated ghost hand, touched him, a large number of spiritual beings began to pour in.
That is exactly the spirit son transformed from Matsushima Masaaki's body!
For a moment, he seemed to have established a connection with something, and then all of Matsushima Masaaki's belongings and the Zanpakutō discarded aside were filled with spirit children that gathered in his hand.
Finally, Matsushima Masaaki disappeared, and Hachikan returned to his normal form, no longer possessing the aura of extreme cold.
Hitsugaya Toshiro's right arm became even paler, and a line suddenly appeared on the pale arm. There seemed to be a faint connection in his heart.
His ghost hand not only swallowed up the cold air, but even Matsushima Masaaki was absorbed into the ghost hand?!
Hitsugaya suddenly thought of one of the two people his teacher once talked about, the Quincy Priest Jig!
According to legend, the Quincy infected with the Ghost Hand symptom has the ability to convert the contracted soul into his own power, and now...
Matsushima Masaaki entered into his own ghost hands, does it count as a contracted soul?!
He only felt that as the powerful Death God entered, the spiritual pressure in his body surged again. Although it was only part of Matsushima Masaaki's power, he was a thousand-year-old monster!
He returned to Jinglingting with some joy and some worry.
I am happy that I have become stronger so that I can better follow the footsteps of my teacher. I am worried about whether the soul of this contract will do any harm to me.
In particular, Matsushima Masaaki's soul consciousness is extremely weak, and he can only feel the slightest connection.
Regarding his concerns, Captain Unohana Retsu of the Fourth Division tested him and said that there was nothing wrong with him now. If he was worried, he could go to the 12th Division for another check.
………………
And immediately, he was ordered by the captain not to participate in the battle on the next level again.
The strength shown by Matsushima Masaaki shocked them all. After listening to Hitsugaya's story, they all knew how lucky they were to win this battle.
The mutated ghost hand, higher-level abilities, and the final surprise and the opponent's shock when he said Daiguren Hyōrinmaru were all combined to barely defeat the opponent.
It seems that starting from the tenth floor, the gatekeepers of the Tower of Delusion are no longer something that ordinary captains can handle.
The captain, who originally looked down upon the Tower of Delusion because of the first nine floors, couldn't help but think of the true horror.
The strength of the four top captains plus Cha Qin, the 'life' and 'death' entangled on the outer wall of the Tower of Delusion, and the 'Sword Master' level of Liang Yue and Captain Yamamoto can be said to be quite terrifying.
.
Not to mention, there is a God of Death who has always been invisible in the Tower of Delusion.
"Then let me go to the next level!"
Kenpachi Zaraki stood up and grinned, "I thought they were just some trash fish, so I didn't go there. I didn't expect there to be such interesting guys up there."
"But if you don't let me enjoy it to the fullest, I will kill you!"
He said to Hitsugaya without hesitation
"You can't wait until you die in there." Hitsugaya said coldly in the conference room of the captain of the first team.
After contracting with Matsushima Masaaki, he still couldn't perfectly control his power, so sometimes the breath he exhaled could freeze people alive into popsicles.
Unohana Retsu glanced at Zaraki Kenpachi and said nothing, while Captain Yamamoto agreed to his application.
"Then on the eleventh floor, captain Zaraki Kenpachi of the eleventh division will go there."
The eleventh floor...
That's where the original Kariyashiki Kenpachi was...
Now, after experiencing several more Kenpachis, Zaraki Kenpachi will have a showdown with his senior.
