Ichigo was extremely anxious at the moment. He didn't care whether his injuries had recovered or not. He just wanted to stand up and go find Stark and the others, but no matter what, he couldn't move.
Just because he had already thought of what Held was going to do.
Held did find a way for Luke to survive. This method may or may not be feasible, but it is obvious that Held did not want to take this risk. She must have Luke die to fulfill the Genesis prophecy.
She made Luke fake his death just as a way to use Luke. It was an idea to cooperate with him. But in fact, she never thought about Luke surviving from the beginning, so she took action to suppress him at this moment.
action.
only because……
He is the Trial Blade!
Through the conversation with Bakar, he has completely understood what Held is going to do now.
Yes, Luke is going to fake his death and let a substitute be killed on his behalf, thereby fulfilling the Genesis prophecy.
But don’t forget that all the apostles in the Genesis prophecies died under the blade of trial!
Just like Bakar was not killed by the Trial Blade before, so he was able to return to the world through some means, and was finally completely 'killed' by him here.
As for Luke, he did create a powerful stand-in, but what if this stand-in was killed by someone other than the Trial Blade?
Just like Bakar...
This question suddenly came to mind in Ichigo's mind.
If Luke's double was killed by someone else, then the Genesis prophecy would be incomplete and Luke would not be considered dead, just like Bakar.
It's just that Bakar was the real person at the time, and Luke is the substitute now, but the principle is the same.
Among the three trial blades, one is Giger, one is him, and the other is Soderos. At this moment, Giger is sealed in hell by Yhwach using the power of the fragments of the light of the beginning, and Soderos has already begun.
Preparing to go to the Demon Realm, they are not in Silent City at the moment.
Luke's plan should be to let the only one who comes to Silent City kill his double, so that his true body can completely lurk until the end of the Genesis prophecy.
But he never expected that Bakar would suddenly appear and fight with him to death. While letting him understand all the truth, he was also seriously injured. At this moment, Held suddenly took action and trapped the seriously injured himself in place.
Then only the other-dimensional selves, Stark, Xilan, Zaraki Kenpachi and Ukitake Jūshirō who went to find Luke were left, but none of the five of them were Trial Blades and could not truly
Kill Luke!
Thinking of this, Ichigo couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, because he felt that Held, this enemy, was really terrifying.
Bakar swore that his last move was beyond anyone's imagination. He thought that his sudden appearance broke Held's plan, but is this really the case?
Isn't all this part of Held's plan?
She knew that Bakar would arrive at this time, so she would take the opportunity to trap and kill Luke. In this case, Bakar and Luke, who were not truly 'dead', would both die in the Silent City. Held was actually just
At this time, he took a little action and killed the two most difficult apostles.
What a terrible enemy.
Ichigo could hardly breathe at this moment. He had never encountered such an enemy before. Although Aizen was thoughtful at the time, his meticulous plan was not actually used on himself. He cared more about Liang Yue at the time.
Great wisdom sits in the three realms, knows everything, but only uses the people around him to contain him.
Although Yhwach can see into the future, the battle with Ichigo has always been a battle of strength.
It was really the first time for Ichigo to fight against an enemy like Held, but to be honest, all his previous battles were just preparations for the final battle with Held.
It is precisely because of this that people feel suffocated, as if everything the world has developed to this point is in Held's plan, and everyone is being used by Held.
Kisuke Urahara, the smartest person on his side, Sosuke Aizen, who is also his friend and foe, Bakar, Luke who thinks he has mastered the loopholes in the Genesis prophecy, almost everyone is under Held's control.
Everything was done to advance Held's plan.
This was so terrifying that even Ichigo couldn't help but feel a wave of heart palpitations at this moment.
He no longer feels confused about anything, nor does he shrink back, but the thought that appears in his mind at this moment is still too terrifying.
Especially in the conversation with Bakar not long ago, he vowed that he had defeated Held's plan, but in fact, even his vow was part of Held's plan.
So, was the power Bakar finally enhanced for him what Held had expected?
That's right...
It should indeed be what she expected, right?
Because if Luke's fake death plan really goes bankrupt, then what he has to face is the real Luke, the Luke who swallowed Rosh. The powerful Luke is not his creation. In that case, the past
You might lose?
But it's different now. Bakar did not hesitate to use the power of his great will to fight him, thus increasing his power again, and this power...
Just enough to deal with Luke next!
But originally...
This power is to be used against Kahn!
Ichigo gritted his teeth. His injuries were recovering too slowly at this moment. The sudden pressure forced him to stay here, and even his injuries were recovering extremely slowly.
He had a vague feeling...
That is when his strength is fully restored, that is when Luke's true form truly appears. This is exactly how Held prepared.
As for the question of whether Stark and the others can really defeat Luke's substitute, Ichigo doesn't even have to think about it. Held has already calculated to this extent, so how could he be negligent there?
Yes, no matter how weak Luke's substitute is, he is still an apostle, and no matter how strong Stark and others are, they have not reached the realm of apostles. Even if the five of them can win together, the possibility of winning is very slim. However...
Luke's substitute will definitely lose!
Ichigo believed so firmly, not only in the power and will of Stark and others, but also in Held's plan.
Luke has been calculating for thousands of years, but is he still unable to break free from Held's control?
Ichigo wanted to investigate the situation of Stark and others, but found nothing, because at this moment they seemed to have left the Silent City, and there was no trace of them in the entire dimension.
Held was a man who knew all the answers, but could do nothing.
This feeling is so unpleasant!
………………
And just when Ichigo thought of this, on the other side of Stark and others.
Stark has followed the connection with the clone to this dark realm. Countless pipelines lead to the mysterious end, but they cannot reach the end of this world no matter what.
Even if Stark followed his soul connection and walked towards the clone, it would be difficult for him to make peace with his clone.
They seemed to have entered a completely different dimension, not only in space, but also in the flow of time. There seemed to be a certain gap.
"who?"
Suddenly, Kenpachi, who was running in the passage, stopped.
He picked up the knife and pointed it at the surrounding wall.
Ukitake saw Zaragi's behavior and couldn't help but said, "Zaraki, what's wrong?"
Stark also stopped, and he didn't notice anything unusual.
"Someone was looking at me just now." Kenpachi said, "It's right here..."
The moment he spoke, he suddenly slashed with a knife!
They also tried it when they came here. The buildings here are very hard. No matter what force they use to destroy them, they can only have the same effect. It seems effective, but in fact no matter how hard they attack, it will not cause actual damage.
.
However, at this moment, after Kenpachi slashed with his sword, he actually made a huge dent in the wall, and soon the dent spread out the power, as if destroying some disguise, causing something to appear there.
A door!
"Is this...an illusion?" Ukitake said in surprise when he saw the door that suddenly appeared.
"It looks like some kind of protective device, but no matter what, we seem to have found a way to break the situation." Stark said, he created a clone again, let the clone walk over, and opened the door.
The three of them were ready to fight. No matter what was in the door, they could respond immediately. But when the door was really opened, the three of them all looked surprised.
Because there is only one woman in that door!
There are countless bookshelves in this room. The bookshelves are filled with various books. In front of the bookshelf, a woman is putting the books in her hands.
The woman had long white hair, a slender figure, and was wearing a burgundy coat. The slanted bangs in the front blocked one eye, so only one eye was exposed, one with a purple pupil.
Ichigo would definitely feel uncomfortable if he were here, because he would almost have PTSD from purple, but these three people are actually fine.
"Someone can actually come to the 'King's Library'..."
The woman seemed to be very surprised by the arrival of the few of them, but she quickly put away the surprise, and just said slightly mockingly, "You were also brought here by Luke, right? Are you from the Kaxiu sect?"
People or people from Tarakuta?"
Kaxiu sect, Tarakuta...
Both of these are famous demon organizations even in Soul Society. Among them, Alice, who caused huge casualties to Soul Society, is from Tarakuta, and Natalia Huler was once a member of the Kaxiu sect.
people.
Why did this woman talk about these two organizations?
Is she from the demon world?
From the tone of his voice, he doesn’t seem to have a good impression of Luke?
"I am not from the demon world, nor was I brought here by Luke. We are here to kill Luke!"
"Kill Luke?"
The woman seemed to have heard something funny and couldn't help laughing. "Luke is the monarch of Hebron and one of the apostles of the demon world. Who do you think you are? You actually want to kill Luke?"
Before Kenpachi could speak, Stark had already said, "Does your appearance have anything to do with Luke? If you tell us Luke's whereabouts, we can let you go."
And looking at their vows, the woman seemed to realize that they were serious, and her face gradually became serious.
"Luke has taken away many scholars in the demon world over the years, but after Usiel suddenly disappeared more than a hundred years ago, I am the only one who knows his whereabouts. You have indeed found the right person."
The woman said softly, "If you want to know, just come in. At least in my laboratory, you will not be monitored."
"..." Stark and Ukitake Jushiro looked at each other, and there was a hint of shock in Ukitake's eyes. He said to the woman, "Ushir...? You mean Ushir?"
"..." The woman frowned, "What? Do you know Usiel?"
Ukitake did not answer immediately, but said to Stark and Kenpachi, "Go in and listen to what she has to say, otherwise we will just be wandering around here like headless flies."
"My name is Ukitake Jushiro, and I used to be colleagues with Usher." After that, he said to the woman, "He is Stark, this is Zaraki Kenpachi, and we are both friends with Usher."
, I don’t know what your relationship is?”
Ukitake has long known that Uhir is a visitor from another dimension. This is not a secret among the captains. Urahara Kisuke also saw that the different dimension is actually the demon world and the Kashu sect, but he is the only one who knows this.
things.
For example, Ukitake only knew that she was a person affected by the transfer phenomenon in another dimension. She was discovered by Teacher Liang Yue and brought to the Gotei 13 Team.
And now he knew for the first time that Usiel was actually from the demon world and had been captured by Luke.
It wasn't until the transfer phenomenon more than a hundred years ago that she was brought from this place to Soul Society.
"Just call me Haide." After the woman saw them coming in, she raised her hand and the door was immediately closed.
She walked to a bookshelf and took out a book again, and said at the same time, "The Kaxiu Sect, the Ancient Library and Talakuta are three organizations in the Demon World that are better at studying magic and science. I am from the Ancient Library."
, and Usiel is from the Kaxiu sect, and we had a common organization when we were in the demon world, which was the 'Eternal Light'."
"The Eternal Light is an organization that emerged after the Dragon War. Its main purpose is to create controllable creatures at the apostle level to fight against the apostles for those under the apostles in the demon world, in order to prevent Bakar from being dominated by desire and intending to dominate again.
The apostle of the devil."
"Our top seven people are called the 'Seven Mechanical Gods of War', but we have never met the founder of Eternal Light until he invited us to come to this Silent City..."
Hayd looked into their eyes and said with some hatred, "The founder of Eternal Light is Apostle Maker Luke!"
