This is a story that happened hundreds of years ago...
There is a pair of brothers in a certain country.
The elder brother is a general and the younger brother is an alchemist. They are walking on two completely different paths in life.
The elder brother enjoys killing enemies on the battlefield, while the younger brother plays with immobile people in his workshop with a smile on his face. Therefore, although the two have chosen paths that have no intersection with each other, people often say that this pair
The brothers also had a pair of contemptuous eyes.
Every day, the elder brother brings enemies captured in the war to his younger brother's workshop and provides him with materials for "experiments". No one knows what kind of experiments the younger brother is doing, only the wailing and nauseating sounds that never subside.
The smell of blood always surrounds the workshop.
Thousands of people died as a result of his brother's wanton manipulation in the workshop.
Regardless of gender, old or young, many people were scratched with sharp objects, burned, dismembered, cut into pieces from head to toe and then reassembled: they were attached to other people's bodies and internal organs, the internal organs were taken out and replaced with other artificial objects, and
The eyeballs were implanted into the drained dental pulp, soaked in a slightly acidic solution, and slowly melted over a day... These people were subjected to various studies while they were still alive.
The souls of many of them have been paralyzed due to excessive exhaustion, leaving only their bodies that can still react to these experiments.
Just when all the living corpses and dead meat were about to be buried underground in the workshop, the brothers died suddenly.
A group of souls were liberated from long-term pain and hatred and turned into monsters called "Void". These monsters seized the opportunity when the two brothers gathered in the workshop at the same time, and suppressed the workshop and the brothers in one fell swoop.
collapse.
It planned to torture the brothers severely and then eat them after their souls were separated from their bodies.
However, after his brother's soul separated from his body, he looked at his crushed body and the monster in front of him and spoke:
"That's great. This is the result I have been pursuing."
The almost crazy smile on his face made the person in front of him stunned in shock.
This is an instinctive reaction deeply rooted in the monster's heart.
The younger brother performed the experiment he thought of on his former self, and after the success, he showed his usual devilish smile. This smile made him more like a monster than the monsters present, and provoked
The fear inside these monsters.
Then, the younger brother floated to his older brother who had not yet realized that he was dead.
"Damn it...what happened?"
"...It's nothing to mind, brother."
"What did you say?...Whoa!?"
The younger brother who turned into a spirit body tore out his older brother's throat without hesitation.
With a smile full of joy, he ate his brother in front of the monsters, as well as the soul of the experimental subject that was already exhausted. It was as if he had understood what kind of existence the soul and the void were at the moment his body died.
.
He excitedly broke free of the chains attached to his physical body and opened a big hole in his spirit body where the chains were originally attached.
When the monsters present realized that something was wrong, it was already too late... The younger brother, who had transformed himself, ate the enemy who killed him and his older brother in the blink of an eye, laughing non-stop from his mouth.
Then, after a day and night, the younger brother, who had become a monster, stared at his hands and murmured to himself:
"I see, the perfect life I pursue exists in the extension of this body."
Time passes.
The disappearance of the perverted brothers in the real world resulted in the addition of a big Hollow in Hueco Mundo named 'Sal Apollo Grantz'. He ate many Hollows, making other Hollows fearful of him, and
He eventually became the monster master Daxu Vastod who once again had a human appearance.
Although he is usually a calm scholar, once he is involved in a battle, he will unconsciously fall into a violent state, which makes him rarely take action in battle. Because when he falls into a violent state, he will kill those who originally wanted to capture him alive.
The opponent was cut into pieces.
Later, after a new king named Aizen appeared, he was selected into the new organization "Ten Blades" and was given the number "0", which is the most special among the Ten Blades.
It is also said to be the strongest existence.
However, he is not satisfied with this, because what he pursues is a 'perfect life', not 'strength' and 'status'.
In the years that followed, he continued to disintegrate countless Hollows, Zombies, and even Gods of Death, and finally came to the conclusion that in his current state of regaining human form, it was impossible to achieve the power of 'conception notification' that he expected.
Everything has to start over from the evolutionary process.
This conclusion leads to the idea of returning oneself to an intermediate state that still possesses animal characteristics and experiencing the evolutionary process again.
So he split his body in two.
He removed the troublesome part of himself that was overly excited and uncontrollable during battle, that is, his brother who was eaten by him in the first place, from his soul, making him a separate individual again. At the same time, he also removed the 'warrior'
Characteristics to transform yourself back into the pure scholar you originally were.
"Are you crazy? There are people who want to become weak. From my point of view, your brain is completely burned out."
The man who was once given the number '8' said in surprise.
At that time, Sal Apollo's answer was simple: "Even if I don't have the strength and status of the Ten Blades, I can still provide you with equipment to help you defeat Nellie."
Sar'Apollo, who had degenerated into Achucas, was indeed eliminated from the Ten Blades as expected.
But this did not discourage Sar Apollo. Instead, he focused more on experiments and theoretical compilation, and finally completed the secret method of reincarnation he expected - notification of conception.
Finally, relying on his ability as a scientist, he returned to the ranks of the Ten Blades and obtained the number '8'.
The brother who was eliminated by him turned into a bull-shaped intermediate Daxu and wandered around, and later acted with a certain Daxu group. After a powerful leopard-type intermediate Daxu joined this Daxu group, he was killed by Lan.
Ran took him under his command, and the leopard-shaped intermediate Daxu obtained the number '6' among the ten blades, while Sal Apollo's brother Zongxu became the subordinate officer of the leopard-shaped Xu.
Sal Apollo has never paid attention to this, because to him, the brother he eliminated is nothing more than unnecessary garbage. Even if he is swallowed again, he can be like the fusion of Stark and Lilynite.
Generally speaking, to regain control of the extremely powerful strength that I once had.
His existence would only interfere with his research, so even when he learned that his brother died after fighting a death named "Abarai Renji" in this world, he did not feel the slightest sadness in his heart.
but……
When a god of death used his proud 'conception notification' as a medium to let him experience a death experience that lasted for hundreds of years, Sal Apollo... once again chose to regain his strongest power!
Although it was only a moment in reality, for Sar Apollo, it was a hundred years of time where he could neither survive nor die!
In the end, he was so humiliated that he picked up the backup he had given up long ago, manipulated the opponent, resurrected himself in Hueco Mundo, and integrated the backups of his dead brother in Hueco Mundo into his body.
He wanted to crush that god of death to ashes and make him understand what kind of person he had provoked.
Far outside Xuye Palace, a tall figure stood in the void.
He looked down with cold eyes, and saw that beneath him, a village-sized funnel appeared in the center of the endless white sand. Four figures with gossamer energy were buried in it. As the white sand flowed, all four of them were buried.
Under the endless white sand.
On top of the huge sand pit forming a funnel, the scenery swayed slightly. It was not a mirage or an illusion, but the spatial distortion caused by his casual flash.
"This power is a bit unfamiliar even to me."
Sar Apollo did not give the final blow to the four people under the white sand, but looked at his own hands. There was no joy in his eyes, but only disgust and humiliation.
His pride does not allow him to pick up the trash he once discarded, and as a scientist, he does not like his current war-loving state, which will affect his sober mind when doing research.
But if he wanted to vent his death pain that had lasted for hundreds of years, he could only choose to regain his former power.
Sal Apollo lowered his head and glanced at the white sand at his feet. Luojia, who had stored his 'backup', was also among them. Although the garbage he abandoned was not worth mentioning in his eyes, Luojia was killed by that bitch Tiruti.
The fact that it is extremely well protected makes Sal Apollo a little lucky.
If Luojia was destroyed and the external memory device he placed in her brain was damaged, then he might really die.
Because at the moment of death, he even felt the pull from hell. If he was really pulled into hell, even if he was resurrected, he would not be himself, but just a group of spirit children with his own memories!
However, although he survived because of Luo Jia, he had no intention of rescuing Luo Jia.
My own death will only happen once. The reason why the God of Death was able to kill me was entirely because he had been secretly studying me, thus letting me fall into his trap.
But now, even if we put aside this renewed strength, even with my former self, it would be easy to kill him!
As for the other trash besides Luojia, Sal Apollo didn't even bother to look at them.
Although there was a familiar face among them, a guy who couldn't even take one of his own blows was not worthy of him paying too much attention to him.
Thinking of this, Sar Apollo's entire body disappeared in mid-air in an instant.
He can feel it...
That despicable God of Death is currently in his own laboratory, where all his research and various materials collected since his birth are stored. He absolutely cannot tolerate being touched by others!!
As Apollo left, the sand pit gradually became level with the flow of white sand.
Everything looked so quiet. There was no sign that a fierce battle had taken place here not long ago, nor could anyone defeat the two sides in the fierce battle with one blow and bury them deep under the white sand.
until……
Buzz~~
Amidst the sound of breaking through the air, a figure appeared in the white sand.
This figure was wearing black overalls and black high boots. It was Duan Mu who rushed here as soon as he noticed the aura.
After Duan Mu stood still, another ten seconds passed before Tiruti appeared next to him holding Inoue Orihime.
"Why did you ask me to bring little Orihime with me? She can't help much in the battle."
Having said that, Tiruti carefully put down little Orihime, turned her head and looked around: "Is this really caused by that guy Sal Apollo?"
Although the original sand pit has been filled in, looking from a high altitude, it is obvious that the white sand in the entire area is much lower than in other places.
Moreover, the remaining aura in the atmosphere made Tiruti's eyes flash with concentration.
"If she doesn't come, Ichigo Kurosaki might die."
As soon as these words came out, Inoue Orihime's expression suddenly changed as her feet just landed on the ground, and she hurriedly searched around: "Kuro...where is Kurosaki-san?"
Duan Mu did not speak, but extended his probing nerves toward the white sand beneath his feet.
immediately……
He stepped on the white sand with one foot. With this step, the white sand seemed to have consciousness and rolled like scalding boiling water.
Phew~~
With a soft sound, a female Arrancar whom Duan Mu didn't recognize was pushed out.
"Rodgar."
Tiruti hurriedly stepped forward and dragged it out of the soft sand sea.
Duan Mu glanced at him and nodded secretly.
Although she is not the person he expected, a female Arrancar is still of great therapeutic value.
certainly……
It’s not that Kurosaki Ichigo has no treatment value. He actually wants Kurosaki Ichigo to die even more than Inoue Orihime. Without him, who would deal with Aizen?
Phew~
Another soft sound came out, and a figure with leopard ears, blue hair, a white tight-fitting armor in tatters, and covered in blood was pushed out by Baisha.
Regarding this person, neither Duan Mu nor Orihime Inoue, who was looking nervously, ignored him and allowed him to be tossed around by the rolling white sand.
And unlike Luo Jia, although this person was seriously injured and on the verge of death, he still managed to hold on without losing consciousness. His whole body was turned around by the rolling white sand, his eyes were wide open, filled with anger and unwillingness, and...
Confused about the current situation...
Coming!
At this moment, Duan Mu's eyes lit up, and a plump Arrancar girl covered in blood, wearing rags and ragged clothes was pushed out of the white sand.
Upon seeing this, Duan Mu immediately stepped forward with a signature smile on his face, grabbed her shoulders with extremely gentle movements, and pulled her out of the sand pit.
He didn't even pay attention to Ichigo Kurosaki who came out at the end.
However, there is no need for him to pay attention to it.
"Kurosaki-san!!"
When she saw Kurosaki Ichigo being pushed out, Inoue Orihime immediately rushed forward and dragged him out of the white sand with her hands and feet.
Duan Mu placed Nilu on the ground, faced her doubtful gaze, and smiled slightly:
"Don't worry, I'm here to help you...um...you guys."
After placing the four people away, Duan Mu checked their situation. Although the Arrancar named Luo Jia among them was the only one who was unconscious, she had almost no injuries on her body and was only affected by it.
As for Kurosaki Ichigo and Grimmjow, who were half buried in the white sand and left unattended, their injuries were extremely serious. If they were not treated as soon as possible, they would most likely die. However, judging from the residual spiritual pressure in their wounds,
, their injuries were basically caused by each other.
Among the four, Nilu was the most seriously injured.
At this time, Nilu's clothes were torn and could only barely cover her body. Her exposed skin was charred and black, and even the mask on her head was completely broken. From a simple doctor's point of view, she was basically hopeless.
.
Duan Mu frowned slightly, but then he vaguely guessed why Nilu was so seriously injured.
If nothing unexpected happened, while the fierce battle between Ichigo Kurosaki and Grimmjow was going on, Apollo Saul suddenly appeared and attacked them all.
Nilu, on the other hand, used her back body to block most of the power of the false flash. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the two of them to survive Sal Apollo's false flash.
certainly……
Whether Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly cheated before he died or died before he could cheat is another matter.
"She must receive treatment immediately."
Duan Mu carefully checked Nilu's condition and his face darkened.
Originally, Nilu's spirit body shrank due to the shattering of her Arrancar. Although she was able to temporarily make up for the loopholes and restore her true body due to the incomplete virtual pattern carved by Tiruti, but now after receiving a virtual flash, her
The mask has completely collapsed, and the body is even more in tatters.
Even the Zanpakutō, which was sealed with the 'spiritual core' that was the foundation of the Arrancar's power, completely collapsed due to being destroyed in its return blade state.
To the Arrancar, the spiritual core is equivalent to the Soul Reaper's spiritual pressure core.
If left unchecked, it won't take long for Nilu's body to turn into spirits and disperse, becoming part of the endless spirit seeds in Hueco Mundo.
Thinking of this, Duan Mu reached out and made a move.
Zheng——!
Amid the soft groan, a long knife with a gray body and a white handle gradually gathered around him.
immediately……
Phew~~
Blood spurted out, and the condensed long knife actually cut off Duan Mu's arm.
This scene made Orihime Inoue, who was treating Ichigo Kurosaki, exclaim in surprise. Ichigo Kurosaki also blinked and wanted to sit up, but was unable to do so.
Tiruti vaguely guessed Duan Mu's thoughts and placed Luo Jia in her hand next to Nilu.
Then, she glanced at Grimmjow, who was half buried in the white sand and almost out of breath. After hesitating, she also pulled him out and placed him next to Luo Jia.
Seeing this, Duan Mu glanced at Tiruti.
Tiruti looked up at the sky...
Has this guy taken care of Pikaro for a long time, causing the brilliance of motherhood to become more intense...
However, Duan Mu did not refuse.
He and Tiruti... no, it should be said that they have a friendship relationship with everyone, rather than a superior-subordinate relationship. They will only help each other and take care of each other, and will not arbitrarily order them to do anything. Although they give orders, they
He would also obey, but Duan Mu would not do that.
If Tiruti wanted him to help them, Duan Mu would not refuse.
After all, Tiruti has actually helped Duanmu a lot overtly and covertly, whether it was passing on information or helping to take care of Inoue Orihime, Kuchiki Rukia and others.
Shaking his head slightly, Duan Mu looked at his newly grown arm, cut it off again, and repeated this step twice...
The three arms, together with the bones and blood in them, were compressed into three masses of blood by Duan Mu using spiritual pressure. The resulting mixture rapidly changed in Duan Mu's hands, turning into purple runes that looked like tree branches.
Almost at the moment when the runes appeared, the extremely rich spiritual energy in Hueco Mundo surged toward the cave where the two of them were like a tsunami.
But unlike the previous two times, Duan Mu did not set up a barrier to hide the aura this time. In addition, the 'spiritual core' was reorganized for three people at the same time, and the movement caused almost shocked the entire Hueco Mundo.
In the Great Void Forest under the white sand, countless Void beings became restless at this moment, gathering crazily in the same direction. Whether they were conscious or not, their instincts were roaring. That was an opportunity to evolve!
Grimmjow looked at Duan Mu with a confused expression, and looked at the spiritual patterns floating on his body, feeling the same instinctive desire.
"Just think of it as repaying you for saving my life from Bailegang."
Facing Grimmjow's gaze, Duan Mu opened his mouth and said that when he was besieged by the Ten Blades, Grimmjow helped him cut off his arm when he was contaminated by the decaying aura of death, which could be regarded as saving his life.
, although...he did this mostly to vent his dissatisfaction with Balegang interfering in his battle.
Duan Mu reached out and made a move, and the spirit patterns condensed by flesh and blood and spiritual pressure were integrated into the spiritual cores of the three people at the same time, completely destroying the original spiritual cores, and then reorganized them around the flesh and blood spirit patterns.
During this process, the auras in the three people's bodies were changing rapidly.
Tiruti on the side was observing carefully. Although she had seen it twice, she was still deeply shocked by Duan Mu's transformation.
after all……
This is a transformation that even Aizen cannot achieve!
…
Well, in order to explain the official setting supplement of Thrall Apollo to the pure anime and manga parties, I will try to make it as short as possible.
Don’t talk about An Shui’s word count… the introduction word count is one thousand and seven… so this chapter has 5,700 words.
