Urahara Kisuke looked at the sacred cross, then looked at Natalia, who looked pious, and sighed slightly.
"What's wrong? Is the disguise of the past hundreds of years deeply ingrained? She was just a witch hiding her identity, but you got too involved."
Natalia used to be a shrine maiden of the Angel Shrine and had a pivotal position in the Joireitei, but that was just Aizen's arrangement, and Urahara Kisuke always thought so.
However, Natalia just shook her head and denied his wishful thinking, "You are just too paranoid. God is real. If I have a problem, why does God still allow me to be a witch?"
"..." Of course God exists, but it is not certain whether He can find you across several dimensions and punish you.
Urahara Kisuke wanted to say this, but when he saw Natalia's pious look, he felt something was wrong. He shook his head and sighed, "Indeed, we can't describe it with Joireitei's view of good and evil.
A truly existing god, to him, what does it matter who you are?"
"You finally understand this." Natalya narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "You said that I don't care about life and death in the three realms because I am not from the three realms. In fact, it is the opposite. I come from the demon world, but I grew up in the soul society."
"Because I have a clear understanding of both worlds, I made a judgment. That is..."
"If the current Three Realms cannot be changed, there is only one way to die. You have no idea what kind of shadows and terror are behind the Three Realms today. You think you understand it just by fighting several seriously injured and dying apostles before.
Are you an apostle? No..."
Hearing her words, Urahara Kisuke's heart moved and he asked, "You seem to know something?"
"You just need to know that it will be the biggest challenge that the Three Realms have encountered since ancient times. If you used to fight with young children with bamboo knives, then when you face him, you have to use murderous swords to face him.
To the strong swordsman."
Natalia's face was solemn as never before, and she said softly, "So, the only one who can save the Three Realms now is Aizen-sama who is willing to make changes. Urahara, you are a smart person."
She stretched out her hand as an invitation, "Come and join us. With your intelligence, if you join us, there will be no opponents in front of us."
Urahara Kisuke lowered his head. He looked at the sacred cross in his hand and rubbed it slowly with his hands. After an unknown amount of time, he slowly replied, "You have placed the future of the Three Realms on Aizen.
And I... put the future of the Three Realms on another person."
"Kurosaki Ichigo..."
"Ichigo Kurosaki"
In Hueco Mundo, at the corner of the huge seven-pointed star circle, Ulquiorra stood on the sand of spirit children. He put his hands in his pockets and called out to the man in front of him as if he had been waiting for a long time.
name.
"Ulquiorra Cifer, I heard Grimmjow say your name." Kurosaki Ichigo had long known that there must be a powerful Arrancar guarding the corner of the Seven-Pointed Star. Before he came, he
I have already roughly guessed who the Arrancar here will be.
"Before, it was you who was calling me with your spiritual pressure, right?"
Ichigo was already in a state of swastika. He held the Tensuo Zangetsu and looked at the normal Ulquiorra and said calmly, "What? Did the failure last time make you unwilling?"
"Failed?"
Ulquiorra said calmly, "I don't remember that I failed against you."
"It's almost here!"
After Ichigo finished speaking, he rushed towards him. Because the survival of the Three Realms was directly related to this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo had no time to continue to waste here. He must defeat Ulquiorra as soon as possible!
"You don't even need virtualization?"
Ulquiorra looked at Kurosaki Ichigo who was charging directly with his swastika without even taking out the Zanpakutō from his waist. He seemed to be thinking of dealing with it with bare hands. However, this arrogance soon made him suffer.
.
Because just when the Zanpakutō in Kurosaki Ichigo's hand was about to hit him, a Hollow mask appeared directly on his face!
And that's not all. After the mask appeared, his whole body also began to transform into a blade. At the moment of the slash, he jumped directly from the swastika state to the state of blade transformation!
Ulquiorra's pupils shrank. At this moment, he didn't even pull out his Zanpakutō, not to mention that at this distance, he couldn't make any effective response!
boom!
This powerful sword struck directly on Ulquiorra's chest, and the latter immediately retreated several kilometers, his legs sliding on the ground, and two deep ravines were created!
A huge wound appeared directly on Ulquiorra's chest, and a large amount of blood flowed out of it. He raised his head and looked at Kurosaki Ichigo, who had instantly returned to the original swastika form from the returning blade state, and said somewhat gloomily.
"What was that move just now...?"
He already possesses super-speed regeneration, and after obtaining the second-stage return amplification, he allowed super-speed regeneration to evolve again, which has almost surpassed the regeneration ability of other Arrancars by one level!
However, in this state, he actually suffered such serious injuries from this blow!
The injury on his chest was still showing ferociously on his chest at this moment. His regenerative power seemed to have failed, or it could be said that Kurosaki Ichigo's knife just now was a wound that even super-speed regeneration could not heal!
"Instant Return Blade..." Kurosaki Ichigo said calmly, "Generally speaking, it can only be used once in a battle, but an average opponent will lose their fighting ability after facing it once. It really doesn't apply to a guy like you."
.”
This is a tactic that he has only recently developed. He uses the swastika to make the opponent take it lightly, and then instantly explodes with a power that surpasses the swastika by two levels. In this case, it is tantamount to a sneak attack, but the effect is significant, as long as the enemy is
If you use the power to defend against 'him in the swastika state', you will definitely be hit hard by him who has suddenly risen two levels!
He originally wanted to end the battle with one blow. After all, time was tight, but it was not unacceptable to him that it failed to produce the desired result.
After all, Ulquiorra's strength is indeed powerful and unfathomable...
"Block it down·Black Winged Demon"
Ulquiorra returned to the sword after Ichigo Kurosaki finished speaking. Black wings sprouted from his back, and the spiritual pressure on his body began to expand, but even so, the wound on his chest remained.
It cannot be dissipated.
And then...
The second stage returns to the edge!
boom……
Dark green raindrops seemed to fall from the sky, which were rain formed by Ulquiorra's spiritual pressure. When they fell, they seemed to be accompanied by great terror.
His body was also covered in a layer of darkness, and just standing there seemed to distort the surrounding space.
The huge power overflowed, and another thunder spear was condensed in his hands.
Kurosaki Ichigo also decisively entered the state of retreat. When he saw Ulquiorra throwing the thunder spear in his hand, he waved the long knife in his hand, and the sharp spiritual pressure suddenly turned into a crescent moon.
The crescent moon is somewhat different from the previous extremely powerful crescent moon. It seems to have been solidified into a sharp characteristic, allowing it to cut through anything.
The thunder spear was directly cut in half by the crescent moon. The separated thunder spear passed by Kurosaki Ichigo and deviated further and further in the blink of an eye.
Then with a bang, it exploded behind him!
The huge spiritual pressure was still impacting his back at this moment, and the energy soared into the sky, even dispersing the clouds in the sky!
Kurosaki Ichigo was slightly startled. If he was hit head-on by that shot, he would probably be seriously injured even if he had dragon scales for protection.
But that shot seemed to be just too powerful...
However, this Thunder Spear did not seem to consume much for Ulquiorra, and the next moment the Thunder Spear appeared in his hand again.
Kurosaki Ichigo immediately rushed forward, not wanting to give the opponent a chance to release it. His sword was wrapped with black spiritual pressure and he swung it out at close range.
The black spiritual pressure was thrown out, and Ulquiorra waved the spear in his hand, and the power of thunder swept away the darkness. After the darkness was shattered, Kurosaki Ichigo's slash followed.
"Thunder Spear"
However, his right hand repels the darkness, and his free left hand once again condenses a thunder spear!
boom!
The sword and the gun collide, and at the same time the spiritual pressure of the two collides!
The ground where the two were located sank three feet directly, and more powerful destruction broke out further away.
"Don't you have a further form?"
During the stalemate between the two, Ulquiorra asked in a deep voice, "Why don't you come out?"
After saying that, he used his right hand to attack again, and the beam of thunder gun shot at Kurosaki Ichigo.
The latter evaded in a hurry, and combined the instant step and the resounding step, slightly surpassing Ulquiorra in speed.
"Isn't this just..."
Kurosaki Ichigo gritted his teeth, and the next moment a more chaotic and complex power began to sublimate!
"Have you seen it?"
Seeing that Ichigo seemed unable to defeat Ulquiorra in his return state, he directly entered the apostle state without any hesitation.
After entering this state, he only felt that the strength in his whole body was no longer in the same dimension as his past self.
He dodged and came behind Ulquiorra, and the latter reacted and turned around and stabbed, but the stab hit nothing!
Because there was nothing behind him before and in front of him now?
puff!
The next moment, Kurosaki Ichigo appeared behind him again, and slashed diagonally downward.
This knife struck directly on Ulquiorra's wing, and a bloody blade appeared from the right wing to the left back, which seemed to correspond to the scar on his chest.
"Tell me, what exactly are you going to do and how to disarm this formation?"
After swinging the sword, Kurosaki Ichigo exited the apostle form and returned to the returning blade state. He looked at Ulquiorra who was severely injured by him and said in a deep voice.
Ulquiorra was slashed in the back, blood spattered, and he instantly distanced himself from Ichigo Kurosaki.
After hearing what Kurosaki Ichigo said, he replied, "Isn't that woman who came with you already going to destroy the magic core?"
What he was talking about was Yachiru. Yachigo was advancing with Ichigo Kurosaki. At this moment, Ichigo Kurosaki was responsible for containing Ulquiorra, while Yachiru continued towards the core of the corner of the seven-pointed star.
.
Seeing that he was exposed, Ichigo said indifferently, "Yachiru said he would kill you. You should have other methods, right?"
Ulquiorra said coldly, "There is no other way. Just like that woman said, your only way is to 'kill me'."
"And...do you think you can kill me? Don't be too self-righteous, human!"
After he finished speaking, something incredible happened.
The chest wound in front of him that was originally seriously injured by Kurosaki Ichigo in the normal state, and the wound on Kurosaki Ichigo's back after returning to the second stage, actually started to repair itself at this moment!
The injury was originally an injury that could not be cured by super-speed regeneration, but at this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo's spiritual pressure attached to the wound was completely ignored.
The spiritual pressure on his body also boiled up again at this moment, and the entire corner of the seven-pointed star was filled with his spiritual pressure!
"Do you call your state...'apostleship'?"
Ulquiorra's words made Kurosaki Ichigo hesitate, and a kind of fear involuntarily arose in his heart.
That power...
That power is clearly...
The power of an apostle!
Kurosaki Ichigo stared blankly at Ulquiorra in front of him.
Although he couldn't recognize which apostle it was, he was not insensitive to the apostle's power, so he knew clearly that the power in the other person was definitely an apostle!
The latter's words also confirmed his guess. After showing this power, Ulquiorra raised his hands and rushed down with his palms.
"Do you think you are the only one who can carry out 'apostleization'? Watch carefully..."
Under the parallel palms, the Thunder Spear, which was completely different from the past, was gathering.
Boom...
The sky became extremely dark, and amid the lightning and thunder, Ulquiorra said in a deep voice, "This is Xu's 'apostle transformation'..."
"In the entire Hueco Mundo, there are only five people who can enter this form. You are unfortunate to meet one of these five people..."
"The strongest me"
boom
After saying that, he directly threw the thunder gun in his hand!
What a fast speed!
Kurosaki Ichigo has entered the apostle state again, but even with the power of the apostle, he feels that the speed of this shot is so fast that no one can dodge it!
However, ordinary people cannot avoid it, but they cannot measure Kurosaki Ichigo who is not an ordinary person!
When the spear was about to stab him, Ichigo finally used the sound turn, and it was a sound turn with the power of transfer, and the speed was even more unpredictable!
However, when Ichigo Kurosaki thought he had dodged the blow, he suddenly discovered that the thunder gun that was originally aimed at his previous position was still just chasing his footsteps after he dodged once.
