"...In short, anyone who undergoes my reorganization of their spiritual core will have a connection with me."
In the wide tower, Duan Mu looked at the people around him and narrated the principle and process of spiritual void patterns and reorganized spiritual cores: "This connection is bidirectional, which means not only can I feel you, but also
I communicate with you in a similar way to Picaro, and you can also contact me, and there is no such thing as superior or subordinate."
"Normally speaking, the reorganized spiritual core based on the spiritual void pattern only allows the Arrancar to have the ability to perform multiple stages of return. It is not an evolution at the life level."
When Duan Mu said this, he glanced at Tiruti who was yawning at the side: "I don't know the specific changes in Tiruti and Pikaro, so what will they become in the end?
, I don’t know at all.”
Everyone present did not react much to Duan Mu's words, because before gathering here, Tiruti had already told them about the changes after reorganizing the spiritual core.
As the new king, Harribel was the first to stand up after Duan Mu finished speaking.
She is not particularly keen on the pursuit of strength, but as the new king of Hueco Mundo, she must have the strength to cope with all situations.
Following Harribel were her three subordinate officers.
After seeing Harribel and the other four walking out, Tiruti nodded behind her, and three figures immediately stepped forward.
These three people are Ludburn, Dordoni, and Guntenbyn. Among them, Dorudoni and Guntenbyn can be said to be the few friends of Tiruti in the Sky Palace during the Aizen period.
Although after the recent battle, the two began to regard themselves as Tiruti's subordinate officers and gave up their attachment to the Ten Blades.
The same goes for Ludburn. Ever since he lost to Tiruti, he has also been extremely obedient to Tiruti.
Next was Nilu, who pushed Peishi and Dondechaka beside her: "You guys can go too."
Peishi and Dongdechaka looked at the ten blades and the first ten blades in front of them... They looked a little nervous. Compared to the people in front of them, the two of them felt out of place standing among them.
The last person who came to Duan Mu was Ulquiorra.
His mentality is actually somewhat similar to Harribel's, and he is not very interested in growing in strength, but... that kind of evolution at the life level makes him look forward to it.
Because like himself, Luo Jia had lost his soul due to artificial reasons. After the reorganization of his spiritual core, he felt that there was something more in the other person. That was something that both he and Luo Jia lacked.
Duan Mu's eyes swept over the people in front of him, and suddenly he regretted what he had said about how much reform he had done...
With so many people, it seems like one arm is not enough.
But the words have been spoken, and it is difficult to take them back now.
In fact, Duan Mu doesn't have to use his own flesh and blood to turn into spiritual void patterns. After all, the initial void patterns he created were only transformed into void patterns with his own spiritual pressure, and then merged with the Arrancar's reorganized spiritual core, thereby making
They have the ability to further liberate.
Duan Mu originally wanted to integrate his own flesh and blood, but he didn't want his transformation of Tiruti to be discovered by Aizen, and his own flesh and blood could just do this, so he combined his flesh and blood with spiritual pressure to form a virtual pattern.
.
But now that Aizen is gone, there is no need to hide anything.
only……
Tiruti informed Duan Mu of the transformation process of the second stage return blade, as well as her own conjectures, which made Duan Mu vaguely understand... why the spiritual void pattern she created had such an unusual appearance.
The effect it should have.
So in the end, he decided to continue to use spiritual pressure and flesh and blood as the basis to reorganize the spiritual core for the Arrancar.
He had a hunch that if he could figure out the changes in Tiruti and the others' second-stage return, he might be able to figure out the special characteristics of his own body.
but……
Duan Mu turned his eyes and looked towards the corner of the hall. Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but follow his gaze.
There, Lilinite was pulling Stark who was lying on several chairs.
Upon seeing this, a strange look flashed in the eyes of Tiruti and others.
Because including Duan Mu, they all know what Stark has been pursuing.
Just like the meaning Aizen gave him, what Stark pursued from beginning to end was just to say goodbye to loneliness.
He doesn't like fighting, and will even show mercy to his enemies depending on the situation. He is lazy, but hates being alone and values his companions. He will even be shaken by the fact that the relationship with him is not that good.
Others followed Aizen, mostly in pursuit of strength. Even Harribel chose to follow Aizen because his strength was not enough to protect his companions, and used Bengyu to gain greater strength.
That is to say...
For many of them, their growth has reached its limit.
But Stark was different. From the beginning to the end, he never borrowed Bengyu's ability. Instead, he had already broken through the boundary between Death and Hollow many, many years ago.
It is precisely because his strength is so strong that... a weak Xuong will automatically have his soul consumed and die if he comes close to him, so he feels lonely and can only travel alone in Hueco Mundo, seeking to be with him.
A powerful companion who will not be weakened to death.
In the end, in order to get rid of loneliness, he split his soul into two individuals, namely Stark and Lilynite.
Rather than saying that Stark's growth has reached its limit, it is better to say that he subconsciously chose to stagnate his growth and even hoped that he could become weak.
But even so...
He is still the strongest Ten Blades!
Even Balegon, the former king of Hueco Mundo, could only succumb to Stark after receiving Aizen's help.
Duan Mu did not rush, but quietly waited for Stark's decision.
He personally actually hopes that Stark's strength can be further improved, even if doing so will make Stark extremely terrifying, even terrifying enough to threaten himself, but... Duan Mu still thinks about what may happen in his memory.
Make some preparations in advance.
Invisible empire!
Although Aizen is terrifying, he is even as powerful as a god.
But he is not God after all.
But the king of the invisible empire was someone Duan Mu never knew how to defeat.
Omniscient and omnipotent.
The meaning of these four words makes Duan Mu shudder just thinking about it.
From the first day when Duan Mu entered Seireitei, no matter how relaxed he was, he never stopped being on basic alert.
After defeating Aizen, he searched carefully in the Seireitei, but he could not detect the so-called shadow realm, let alone the invisible empire hidden in the shadow of the Seireitei, just like its name.
.
"ah……"
Getting back to the topic, being suddenly stared at by so many people suddenly frightened Lilinite, and she hurriedly let go of Stark's hand.
"Hey~~"
Stark sighed, sat up from his chair and scratched his chicken coop-like hair.
"Do I want it too?"
After being silent for a while, Stark suddenly asked Duan Mu.
Facing Stark's gaze, Duan Mu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "I personally hope you can become stronger."
"Is that so?"
Upon hearing this, Stark stared at Duan Mu for a while, then smiled: "Then add me."
After saying that, he got up and took Lilynite to Duan Mu.
"Haha~~"
Duan Mu smiled when he heard the words. The person who could become the leader of the Ten Blades was not an idiot. Although he didn't say anything about the invisible empire, Stark obviously felt something.
Regarding this matter, he actually didn't plan to tell anyone, including the Gotei 13th Division.
Firstly, this is just his own memory, and he doesn't know the specific time, so he can only be more vigilant at a rough time; secondly, it's because... it's not necessary!
You must know that Nirvana has never stopped researching the Quincy after becoming the captain.
Both Captain Yamamoto and Mao No. 46 acquiesced in his behavior. This shows that although Seireitei is not aware of the existence of the Invisible Empire, it is very clear that it will happen within the "approximate time" that Duanmu knows.
They knew certain things even before they came to Soul Society... or even before they were born.
Although all this does not play any role in front of the four words "omniscience and omnipotence".
Duan Mu didn't know how much omniscience and omnipotence could see, and how long he could see for how long, but one thing was certain, that is, he should not have true omniscience and omnipotence before he truly "opened his eyes."
So Duan Mu wants to prevent the other party from ‘seeing’ him as much as possible.
That's the only way...
Only your own ideas can be implemented.
It took Duan Mu nearly a day to transform a total of twelve people.
During this day, the entire Hueco Mundo was agitated, but because the purple beam of light rising into the sky came from Xuye Palace, it did not cause much commotion.
The twelve purple beams of light existed for a whole day and night, and the fluctuations spread to the entire Hueco Mundo. Even Soul Society felt the changes in Hueco Mundo.
Dark~!
Looking around, everything in sight is pitch black.
But in the darkness, a pair of eyes slowly opened.
"Hey, have you opened your eyes more often recently? Not long ago, the Shinigami named 'Aizen' was sent in, and you opened your eyes once, and you actually opened them again this time."
Weird laughter came from the darkness: "Hahaha~ Did something interesting happen again? Has the little guy named Duan Mu been imprisoned too? My sister is very interested in him, but it's a pity that I'm with him
I have appeared in front of me many times, but he has never seen me."
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm talking to you. Why don't you open your eyes this time?"
The owner of the eyes ignored the chatter in his ears, but there was a flash of hesitation in his eyes.
"What? What? Do you want to leave here? I advise you to give up."
Weird laughter came out again: "Anyway, even if you go out, you will be like that 'Aizen'. He was sent back by Duan Mu's little brother not long after. As an old senior, he once owned a 'sword'."
An old man with a name of eight' was defeated by a brat who was less than half a hundred years old..."
"Hahahaha~~ This is too embarrassing, I'm actually looking forward to it."
"Shut up!"
The chattering voice finally angered the owner of the eyes, and he couldn't help but scolded him in a cold tone.
"Hey, you spoke? Hahaha, when was the last time you spoke? How many years ago? Decades? Hundreds of years ago? Ah, by the way, the last time you spoke was when you cracked the Aizen Kyoka Suigetsu, right?"
"When you were breaking Kyoka Suigetsu's genjutsu, you kept saying things like 'weird', 'weird', and 'the feelings on your body don't match the real situation'. In the end, you finally cracked his ability, and it can only take effect within the Seireitei."
"It's so embarrassing! It's so embarrassing!"
"..."
The owner of the eyes suddenly regretted opening his eyes.
The very existence of this guy makes me feel extremely bored.
"Hey, hey, you're not really ready to go out, are you?"
The voice sounded again, but this time it was more serious: "You are not even sure of defeating Aizen, let alone that little brother Duan Mu."
"Be quiet!"
"What? Are you not convinced? You can still show off your power in the Seireitei. You have obviously admitted that you have no way to defeat Aizen outside the Seireitei. How about you just fight with that Tōsen
If you want to be the same, change your name to Aizen-sama, maybe if they are happy, they will accept you as their younger brother."
"They also said that the only people who could stop Aizen were Team Zero. But it was useless in the end. Team Zero chose to surrender before you even saw it. The little brother I was optimistic about had already defeated Aizen."
"What's more, although you and Brother Duan Mu have never met, and he doesn't even know your existence, you have already suffered a lot from him, right? Hahahahaha~~"
In response to the woman's ridicule, the owner of the eyes did not speak, but a hint of helplessness flashed in those extremely bright eyes in the darkness.
because……
No refutation!
It was indeed as the woman's voice said, even though she had never been in contact with the kid named Duan Mu, she still suffered a lot from him, and he made herself uncomfortable every once in a while...
"When you merged with the Seireitei, you never thought that someone would be able to create the ability to forcibly swallow spirit children. With the strength of the vice-captain, your expression will change drastically."
"Hahahaha~~ He himself may not know that every time he uses all his strength to activate the so-called spirit void pattern and forcibly swallows an area, or even the entire Seireitei spirit child, there are people who feel as if they are being bitten.
Pain."
"If little brother Duan Mu, the king of Rukongai, were to know that you once wanted to transform the residents of Rukongai into war weapons to defeat Hueco Mundo, our little brother Duan Mu would definitely suck you into a human body, and you would die like that.
Isn’t the law too ugly?”
"Shut up!"
Under this ruthless output, the owner of the eyes finally lost some restraint and said: "I only opened my eyes because I felt the changes in Hueco Mundo. I never thought about leaving this place with his corpse."
There is no need for me to leave here."
"Hahahaha...you are afraid, it turns out you know how to be afraid!"
"...Are you annoyed?"
"Eh? You didn't refute, you actually didn't refute, hahaha, now I'm looking forward to meeting that little brother Duan Mu more and more."
