"That spiritual pressure just now...is it Captain Duan Mu?"
"Who is he fighting? Zanpakutō?"
"..."
The fire and thunder illuminated the entire Seireitei, and even though the distance was far away, one could still feel the pressure coming from the center.
At this moment, the entire Seireitei was whipped up by strong winds due to the collision on the horizon.
No matter where they were in the Seireitei, everyone couldn't help but look in the direction of Division 13.
A shadow hangs over everyone's hearts.
Vaguely, they seemed to feel that a monster was being born.
District Thirteen.
Like a piece of charred wood, he lay on the ground with a wry smile on his face.
I still lost in the end.
Error in judgment?
Not a complete mistake.
Everything developed according to his prediction, and the final blow also achieved the expected effect.
The only mistake is...
I think that the fusion between Aizen and Bengyu is only preliminary, and now is the best time to kill him!
And this is also true, but what Duan Mu didn't expect was that... Bengyu, who was reluctantly integrated into Aizen's body, would choose to truly fuse with Aizen at the last moment.
"Your growth really shocked me."
A voice that was calm again came out from the cocoon, and there was no emotion in the words.
Kaka~~
As the words came out, the light cocoon began to break from the head, revealing Aizen's face.
"However, I still won in the end."
Pa~~
With a crisp sound, the light cocoon collapsed completely, and the intact Aizen appeared in front of Duan Mu.
When he saw Aizen, Duan Mu was slightly startled, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
Because at this time, Aizen's shape was quite strange, his head still maintained its original appearance, and his body was wrapped in milky white solid spiritual pressure, similar to the pupa when an insect evolved.
The completely unchanged head and body looked extremely strange when placed together, as if a creature that was supposed to be born gradually was born prematurely due to the interference of some external force.
Not completely~~!
This is Duan Mu's most intuitive feeling.
"Did you notice it?"
As if he could see Duan Mu's thoughts, Aizen glanced at his palms, shook his head and said: "You are not wrong. You did bring me a lot of trouble, but... it is not irreparable."
"Compared with the changes in me, I am more curious about how you did it?"
Aizen looked at Duan Mu, his eyes full of exploration.
Soul combination exchange!
This is what Aizen has always hoped for.
"Kisuke Urahara always thought that the ability of Hongyoku was to break the boundary between the Shinigami and Hollows."
"But that's just the ability he expected Bengyu to have, so Bengyu showed this ability in front of him."
"And Bengyu's real ability is...to read the hearts that exist around him and materialize them."
"However, if the object itself does not have the corresponding ability, even if Bengyu is there, it still cannot be achieved. From this point of view, Bengyu's ability can also be understood as the power to 'guide the direction of pursuit'!"
Soul combination exchange.
This is Aizen's heart, and Bengyu's consciousness understands his heart and thus merges with him.
However……
Duan Mu in front of him did the same without Bengyu.
Even if it's just a prototype, it's not perfect at all. If you don't grasp the timing well, you won't be able to use it in battle.
But, he still did it!
Aizen, who has been pursuing this for a long time, can be sure that he will never be able to achieve this with the power of the God of Death alone.
The probability is not almost zero, but absolutely zero.
"What secrets do you have?"
Aizen did not rush to kill Duan Mu, but kept observing Duan Mu: "What exactly helped you lead in the direction of your inner pursuit?"
What helps me?
Duan Mu was slightly startled, feeling a little confused.
However, the answer to this question is not difficult to find...
system!
If he really wanted to answer, Duan Mu would say these two words without hesitation.
Is it directed in the direction that your heart pursues?
A strange look flashed in Duan Mu's eyes, because the system had indeed been helping him and helping him gain the power he wanted in his heart.
And the prerequisite for gaining strength is just like what Aizen said...
It must have a foundation that is consistent with it, and then the system can perform deductions and guidance for itself based on the foundation, so that he can get closer to the goal he wants to achieve step by step.
From this point of view, the capabilities of the system are indeed somewhat similar to Bengyu to a certain extent!
But there is a huge difference in essence.
Because the direction guided by the system always starts from Duan Mu himself and is realized without changing its essence, rather than merging with the master like a broken jade.
Things about the system have always been Duan Mu's biggest secret, so naturally he will not tell Aizen about it.
"Are you curious?"
Duan Mu chuckled, but his brain started to work rapidly at this moment.
The forbidden ghost way of cremation with a knife is integrated into the body, and the impact it brings is as terrifying as Duan Mu expected.
Nearly 160,000 experience points were exhausted, and he could barely maintain his life.
My current situation is worse than it appears.
The core of spiritual pressure was half destroyed, the knots and soul sleep were almost completely destroyed, and the internal organs almost completely lost their proper functions.
If it weren't for the added physical strength to barely maintain his spiritual body, and Duan Mu's special body, he would have turned into a spirit and dissipated by now.
Not to mention spiritual pressure, Duan Mu couldn't even move a finger.
In this state, I want to survive in the hands of Aizen.
There is only one possibility...
That makes him not want to kill himself.
And arousing his curiosity is undoubtedly the best way!
As for what will happen after surviving, that can only be considered after surviving.
What to do next?
"No!"
Aizen looked at Duan Mu, suddenly smiled and shook his head: "Even if a dead man is strange, I have no interest in continuing to explore." After saying this, he walked straight towards Duan Mu.
"I know there are many secrets in you."
"When I was in Soul Society, when I looked at you, I had a vague feeling that you seemed to be able to see through the future, always appearing in the right places where you shouldn't be, discovering things you shouldn't have discovered, and in the end, you seemed to be able to see through the future.
The important thing is..."
"Although you disguise yourself very well, you have been extremely wary of me from the first time we met."
"I didn't pay attention at first, because not only me, but you have always been extremely repulsive and wary of the Death God group. It wasn't until later that I discovered that your wariness of me is different from other people."
Aizen stopped in front of Duan Mu and hung the mirror in his hand above the back of Duan Mu's head.
"Because I am aware of this, the plans I originally prepared have been constantly changing. Sometimes I don't even know what I will choose to do next second, but follow the changes.
And change.”
"As a result, the situation was as I expected, and you did not interfere again."
"It can be seen that you may indeed have the ability to see fragments of the future, but it is not omniscient and omnipotent. Instead, you rely more on the information you have obtained to speculate and act."
"certainly!"
Aizen smiled slightly: "I will keep your body well. When I sit on the throne of heaven in the future, I may explore your secrets again out of boredom."
"But now..."
"I am no longer interested in you, or in other words, apart from the goals I have been pursuing, there is nothing in Soul Society that can interest me."
Aizen could feel that after Bengyu obeyed him, his body was far superior to...
When I was in Soul Society, I was already unmatched by anyone!
Desire to explore? Wariness?
These are no longer necessary for me.
Duan Mu looked at Aizen in front of him and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, even though he had always known that the fusion of Bengyoku would have some impact on Aizen.
But Aizen right now...
It is completely different from before. At least he knew what he could do before.
Now, for him, this ability to judge is gradually replaced by arrogance.
If it is normal, this is undoubtedly a good thing for myself.
But in this case, Aizen became arrogant, which made Duan Mu feel like God was playing tricks on him, because the guy in front of him who thought he was a god was not suitable for communication at all.
Even if you want to rebel, be his lackey...
This lunatic won't accept it.
Tsk…
Suddenly I felt regretful. If I had known that I would die here, I would rather die in the hands of that crazy woman Uozhihua Retsu, so that I could at least gain some favorability before dying...
Under this situation, Duan Mu found that he was still thinking about how to improve Maozhihualie's favorability, which made Duan Mu feel speechless.
"It seems that this is your limit."
Looking at Duan Mu who had no strength to struggle, Aizen shook his head and stabbed the mirror in his hand downwards.
"Hello."
摪——!
A crisp sound suddenly came out.
The sharp and bright blade appeared between Jinghua Shuiyue and the back of Duan Mu's head, stopping the knife that was stabbing Duan Mu.
"No matter what, this little brother is my family's benefactor. I can't just watch him die under your knife."
Aizen frowned, slowly raised his head, and looked at the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared next to Duan Mu.
"Shiba... no, should I call you Isshin Kurosaki now?"
Isshin Kurosaki?
Duan Mu, who was already prepared to face death, turned to look at the middle-aged man who appeared next to him.
However, before he could clearly see the appearance of the person coming, the surrounding environment changed rapidly.
When everything calmed down, Duan Mu found that he had been taken to... Hisagi Shuhei, who had been blown to an unknown place before and had just rushed back.
"Hey, little brother Duan Mu, your new look is pretty good."
Ye Yi's voice came, and Duan Mu looked around and saw Ye Yi squatting next to him. It must have been her who brought him here.
Duan Mu turned his head and looked in the direction where he was before.
I saw a middle-aged man confronting Aizen.
Although it was the first time to see him in person, Duan Mu was no stranger to him.
Because this middle-aged man is the uncle of Sister Kūkaku and Brother Iwaharu, the former captain of the 10th division, the head of the Shiba branch... and the father of Ichigo Kurosaki.
Isshin Kurosaki!
And there was another person standing with Kurosaki Isshin.
Astonishingly, it’s Urahara Kisuke, that bastard who is always late!
You might as well come and collect the body for me.
If it weren't for his physical condition, Duan Mu would have wanted to scold this bastard, because this guy kept saying that he would monitor Aizen's movements, and if he found out that Aizen had taken any action, he would inform his partner as soon as possible.
.
result……
Aizen actually showed up in Soul Society, but he arrived just when he was about to die!
"You're here, Urahara Kisuke."
Aizen looked at Kurosaki Isshin and Urahara Kisuke and said indifferently: "It's a pity that you guys came a little late."
"Is it too late?"
Urahara Kisuke helped his round hat: "Maybe that's true, but judging from your current appearance, your evolution doesn't seem to be going smoothly. No wonder you want to kill Boss Duanmu."
Aizen frowned slightly.
"Do you want to say it has little impact?"
Urahara Kisuke shrugged his shoulders: "It's okay to deceive Boss Duanmu with this kind of words, but it should be clear to you and me... This step is too early and too forceful. Your current state should not
Isn’t it as easy as it seems?”
"..." Duan Mu.
Sure enough, this guy is as annoying as ever.
"The two of us may not be able to kill you, and we may even be killed by you, but..."
Urahara Kisuke smiled faintly: "Would you choose to be with the two of us in this state..."
"Three people!"
Yoruichi appeared next to Urahara Kisuke and interrupted.
"Ah, yes, do you want to fight with the three of us?"
Aizen looked deeply at Kisuke Urahara. Although his eyes were still calm, there was a hint of gloom under this calmness.
Without any extra words, Aizen turned around and walked back after retracting his gaze.
Almost as soon as he stepped out, the void gradually tore apart, and a huge black hole appeared.
Kurosaki Isshin frowned when he saw this, and tightened his Zanpakutō.
But Urahara Kisuke on the side held his arm and shook his head slightly.
Aizen did indeed say what he said, because of boss Duanmu, there was a huge error in evolution, and it must be adjusted as soon as possible.
But here they are...
He is also unprepared, and it is not suitable to start a war with Aizen now.
After the three of them watched Aizen disappear into the black hole, they all walked towards Duan Mu's place.
"Boss Duan Mu, you really shocked me this time."
Urahara Kisuke smiled and took out a medicine bottle with a 'skull' pattern on it from his arms, poured one pill out of it, and handed it to Duan Mu's mouth.
Looking at the medicine bottle and the scarlet pills, Duan Mu felt something bad.
"Don't worry, the pattern on this medicine bottle was left so that people can read the instructions carefully."
Urahara Kisuke chuckled: "You can only take one pill of this medicine an hour. It can effectively treat the injuries of the spirit body. When Kurosaki-san was injured by Captain Kuchiki, he only recovered after taking recovery medicine like mine."
When Duan Mu heard this, he didn't dodge because he didn't have the strength to dodge at all. He could only watch as Urahara Kisuke put the pill into his mouth.
However, after taking the pill, Duan Mu found a sudden sharp pain in his body.
This is not a bad thing because...
Previously, Duan Mu couldn't feel any pain at all, and his body was completely necrotic. Now he can feel pain, which is actually a good thing.
Although the internal situation is still bad, at least it is out of the dangerous period.
"The effect is pretty good."
Urahara Kisuke looked at Duan Mu's expression, smiled slightly, and then suddenly turned serious: "Boss Duan Mu, what you did this time was completely beyond my expectations. You disrupted the order of Aizen's evolution. This...
"
"Maybe it's a good thing, maybe it's a bad thing."
"I'm not sure what the final result will be, but my preparations must change accordingly."
"Before coming here, I have spread the news that you are here. I believe someone will come here to rescue you soon. Kurosaki-san and others have also received information about the Zanpakutō going berserk and are heading towards Soul Society.
Come here."
Urahara Kisuke paused and glanced at Kurosaki Isshin on the side:
"So we have to go back now and prepare any necessary responses in advance."
After that, Urahara Kisuke took the medicine bottle... and after looking at Duan Mu, stuffed it into Duan Mu's pants that had turned into shorts:
"Remember, you can only take one pill an hour. Don't take too much."
