Chapter 9: Baston of Yesterday, Ruler of Time and Space
Who is it?
Ichigo's current state has both advantages and disadvantages. Others cannot sense the fluctuations in his spiritual power, but correspondingly, he cannot actually sense the fluctuations in other people's spiritual power.
So much so that now, he didn't even react when someone appeared behind him.
He turned his head and found that it was not a person.
Or rather...
It doesn't matter whether he is a living thing or not.
That's a...
A huge golden lion head?!
Although it is right behind me, it feels like it is not in this world.
"What monster?!"
Ichigo's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously swung his sword. The sword was wrapped with huge black spiritual pressure. Now he couldn't sense Zangetsu's existence, but coincidentally he could still use Zangetsu's ability.
It's just that there is no complex state like virtualization or apostleization. There are only Shijie and Swastika.
He sensed a strong sense of danger from the golden lion's head, so he immediately swung the knife.
"Destroy the order of time and space history, kid, do you know what the consequences will be if you do this?"
However, his blow seemed to be ignored by the golden lion head. The huge black spiritual pressure entered his body, but it did not cause any harm, just like a large bottle of water sinking into the sea, not even a ripple. Didn't lift it up.
The next moment, Ichigo was shocked to find that the whole world had changed. Before, it was an ancient building full of Heian period style. In the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a mysterious space full of magical style. This space was like the residence of some god. The ground It is made of gold, but it is as clear as crystal. The unity of contradictory opposites appears at the same time. This is the power of God.
"Time and space?" Ichigo heard what he said and couldn't help but asked, "Do you know about the gate of time and space?"
"Kid, I am the Baston of yesterday, the ruler of time and space! It symbolizes the past of time and space. What you do will have an irreversible impact on history, and may even promote the arrival of the 'end of days'!"
Yesterday, Baston said in a majestic tone, "Time and space are not places you can explore. Go back to the world you are in, otherwise I will not let you go even if it is a god."
The next moment, this scene also disappeared. Kurosaki Ichigo stared blankly at the changes in the world. This place changed from the magical land of God to the space where he first entered the gate of time and space.
"Uncle Liang Yue..."
Liang Yue was still meditating on the ground. He was still regaining his strength after losing his spiritual power. After hearing Ichigo's words, he opened his eyes in surprise.
"Ichigo? Are you back so soon? Have you already found the clue?"
Hearing Liang Yue's words, Ichigo was a little confused and said, "No, that's what happened..."
He had not yet gotten over the sudden appearance of the golden lion head, and he was a little confused. Fortunately, his language skills were not damaged, so he told what he had experienced during the Dark Crusade.
Liang Yue's eyes were filled with excitement when she mentioned that she had just gotten some of the black robe materials from the man in black robes. However, when the golden lion head appeared the next second, Liang Yue's eyes only had doubts.
"Anyway, I was kicked out by that guy. Is there anyone else at the Gate of Time and Space who maintains some kind of order?" Ichigo said dejectedly. Originally, he thought he could obtain some information through the Gate of Time and Space.
If the guy in the Three Realms who is secretly causing trouble can be caught, it is very likely that no more apostles will be killed in the future!
"Wait, let me think about it." Liang Yue touched his chin and said slowly, "The gate of time and space was awakened by me after absorbing the power of Sirocco from the battle in the Screaming Cave. As far as I know, all
The apostles all have part of the power of 'omniscience', and this gate of time and space is probably another part of that part of 'omniscience' power."
Understanding history means knowing everything about the past. Liang Yue's guess makes no sense.
He added, "I have explored the Gate of Time and Space several times before, but I have never encountered the golden lion head you mentioned. Thinking back to what he said to you, he said that what you do will affect history...
…”
As he spoke, he suddenly became excited, "Doesn't that mean your discovery is correct?! Your move will really affect our history. In other words, the original history is that we cannot discover the man in black robe."
identity, but because of your existence, you found some clues, so it gave us the opportunity to see through the identity of the man in black robe?!"
Ichigo suddenly understood and said with some excitement, "I see, you are saying that this black robe material is a very important clue. As long as you follow this route in the past, you can find the identity of the man in black robe."
.However, under normal circumstances we would not be able to discover it, so that 'Yesterday's Baston' said that we interfered with history."
"That should be the case." Liang Yue had calmed down at this moment and gradually became calmer. He said in a deep voice, "Since this is the case, then we cannot stop and we must not stop because of the threat of the so-called ruler of time and space.
give up."
"He said that the destruction of the past order of time and space may promote the arrival of the 'end of the world', but if nothing is done, the end of the world will never disappear."
"I would rather do something wrong than do nothing! What about you Ichigo?"
"...Of course!" Ichigo nodded firmly. Of course he and Liang Yue had the same view. Is it necessary to give up the current exploration just because of possible destruction in the future?
Impossible!
Liang Yue said this very well, I would rather do something wrong than do nothing!
"That guy... is very weird."
Ichigo thought of this and said, "My attack on him seems to be ineffective, but it is only the first blow. I don't know what will happen if we really fight."
He slowly took out the black robe material and said, "Also, if we start from this piece of cloth, I wonder if the current Jing Lingting can have the corresponding information."
Liang Yue thought for a while, then shook her head, "It should be difficult. The Jing Ling Ting during the Dark Holy War and the current Jing Ling Ting are almost two worlds. The shops in that period had already had their crystals transferred.
It was replaced by new energy technologies brought by the United States."
"so……"
Ichigo nodded and was thinking about entering the gate of time and space again, but suddenly turned his head to Liang Yue and said, "By the way, Uncle Liang Yue, I have another piece of information here."
"I met a woman named Isadora in the Heavenly Curtain Beast. She is very likely to be related to the woman in black robe."
Ichigo said his previous guess, Liang Yue was slightly stunned, and suddenly fell into deep thought.
"you mean……?"
"I want Uncle Liang Yue to modify the time node later. I want to go to the past 'Celestial Curtain Beast'!"
Ichigo said seriously, "Sister Yun also lived on the Sky Curtain Beast in the past. I can also seek her help."
"Well, this is indeed a good idea." Liang Yue pondered for a moment and agreed, "Okay, then after you solve 'Yesterday's Baston' and figure out the source of the cloth, I will reposition the time and space coordinates
."
"Yeah!" Ichigo turned around and walked towards the whirlpool. Just as he was about to step into it, he heard Liang Yue's voice again.
"Ichigo..."
"Huh?" Ichigo stopped.
"Be careful..."
Ichigo smiled, said nothing, and just stepped in without hesitation.
The ruler of time and space, the gods, he has fought against more than one or two gods. If you want to stop him with his name, it is impossible.
No, even if the power surpasses him, he will not give in because of the difference in strength. Does it mean that he has to give up his goal just because of lack of strength?
This has never been the case. Some people may be like this, but that is not Kurosaki Ichigo.
Kurosaki Ichigo was once nearly omniscient and omnipotent. Even if he loses everything now, he will not be easily lost.
"So, I'm back."
He entered the gate of time and space, and immediately saw this familiar world. It was not the Jing Ling Ting in the past, but the divine space full of magical colors, the world of Baston yesterday, in front of the throne of the ruler of time and space!
"So, even if it leads to the arrival of the 'end of days', do you still have to interfere with history?"
The golden lion head didn't seem surprised to see Ichigo's arrival. He was just floating in this world, with countless golden plates emitting dazzling light underground, and this Baston...
It is the center of all light.
At this moment, his words were full of majesty and power, "Kurosaki Ichigo, you have no idea what 'end day' means. After you understand everything, you can say such words so easily and so casually."
Entering this world?!"
"Exactly."
Ichigo immediately replied, "I will not despair of the present because of the despair of the future. I will not give up the present because of the possible future. I will not run away because of the so-called 'end of the world'. Ruler of time and space, maybe you saw this
Everything, but I can’t see anything now, standing right in front of you at this moment!”
Baston looked at Kurosaki Ichigo carefully, and after a long time he slowly said, "...amazing."
"Memet of the End of the Day once said that the end of the world is not certain to come, but it only depends on one human being, and maybe that human being is you."
A huge stopwatch appeared on his hand, a huge time hourglass appeared behind him, and then a huge force was released.
His voice gradually became colder, "However, no matter what it is, it needs to be decided by strength. If you can't defeat me, then you are definitely not the one Memit once said!"
The end of the world, as the literal meaning says, is the ‘end of days’, right?
Does this golden lion head symbolize the past or the end of the world?
Ichigo didn't know much about this ruler of time and space, so he could only speculate from his words.
"I don't know who he is talking about, I will just try my best."
The huge Zanpakuto changed with his orders, becoming smaller and more restrained. Now he no longer has the power of the Hollow, nor the power of the apostle, but only Liang Yue's death power. This swastika
The solution state is also his strongest form.
It's just that at this moment, what he has is the power that Liang Yue has!
In the past, he needed to enter apostle status to achieve transcendence, but Liang Yue's power is a natural transcendent!
He suddenly understood why Liang Yue had to find him, because he had transcended before, and only the transcendent could contain the power of the transcendent.
"Crescent Moon Clashes!"
He rushed forward in an instant, and the speed was extremely fast. Baston was very strong yesterday, and he could only use his full strength in one shot.
This blow was enough to tear apart space, but the time and space of this world was extremely stable. The energy of this blow did not tear apart space and time, nor did it cause distortion. It just rendered the surrounding world completely black.
This world was originally composed of gold and ghostly purple, but at this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo dyed everything black, just like the clouds swallowed the sun, his power will also swallow the golden lion head - Baston of Yesterday!
It seemed that even Baston didn't want to face the horror of this blow. When the black crescent moon was about to swallow him, his figure suddenly disappeared, and the next moment he appeared behind Ichigo.
They are indeed the so-called rulers of time and space. This kind of movement skill is far superior to Shunpo and Xiangzhuan. Ichigo admired it in his heart, but he was already prepared. The moment Baston appeared behind him, he had already
Turned around.
The black spiritual pressure in his hand did not decrease at all, and he was immediately released with another terrifying blow that was not inferior to the previous one. However, before the Getsuga could leave the blade, someone suddenly appeared in front of Ichigo...
fist?
The fist looked like a part of Baston. All the force of his blow was blocked by the sudden appearance of his left arm, and the remaining force penetrated through without causing any damage to the body of the ruler of time and space.
harm.
Then, the left arm punched him, knocking Ichigo away.
The left arm of the Spirit King symbolizes evolution, and the right arm symbolizes stagnation. Could it be...
Ichigo frowned and had a guess in his mind.
Is this also the case with yesterday's Baston? The left arm and right arm symbolize a kind of power, so that when they exist, they cannot harm Baston's main body?
"However, how long can your left arm hold on after carrying my Crescent Moon Chong?"
Ichigo looked at Baston cautiously and said, "Where is your right arm? Come together!"
However, it was Baston's eyes that answered him. Two bright red rays of light shot out from the red pupils. Ichigo's pupils shrank. The rays of light did not look very powerful, but he instinctively sensed some danger.
He jumped up, but a red ray still grazed some of his flesh.
The next moment, the flesh and blood directly...
Annihilated?
No, not annihilation, but a more terrifying fundamental rejection!
It's different from Orihime's ability, it's a curse that was set!
A curse that ‘I have never had this piece of flesh and blood’!
