One second he was in Hueco Mundo, fighting against those terrifying Ten Blades, and the next second he was back in the very familiar base camp. This made all the members of the Star Cross Knights present have doubts on their faces.
However, everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the ruined buildings around them.
Someone invaded here?
"He is..."
Finally, someone recognized the figure standing in the center of the city: "It's the guy named Duan Mu among the six special forces. Why is he here?"
"How is this possible?"
After recognizing Duan Mu, everyone's pupils couldn't help but shrink, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.
Never before...
No one other than a Quincy has ever entered the Invisible Empire, let alone a Shinigami!!
…
Duan Mu ignored the reactions of everyone around him, and with a move of his right hand hanging by his side, a gray blade with a white handle condensed out and appeared in his hand.
With the return of Yhwach, this space at the same location as the Seireitei has become indestructible. Even if you continue to analyze it, it will be in vain.
"It feels like welcoming guests."
Duan Mu slowly raised his head and faced Yhwach with a slight smile on his face, saying: "A guest comes to the door, and the host takes so long to come out to greet him. Is this how you Quincy treat guests?"
Yhwach did not reply, but looked at Duan Mu with a gloomy look. The green flame used to seal the realm of shadows around him was completely integrated into this world.
After doing all this, he slowly lowered his head and looked down at Duan Mu, and the gloom in his eyes gradually calmed down.
No, rather than returning to peace, in his eyes...
All he saw was a dying man!
"So, are you making such a big fuss just to join my army?"
"Join the Invisible Empire?"
Regarding the fact that the Shadow Realm was completely sealed, Duan Mu did not show panic on his face, but instead smiled lightly: "There once was a guy named Aizen who seemed to have said something similar to me. If you are willing to be sealed,
, I wouldn’t mind helping you take care of the Invisible Empire.”
"Be bold!"
"How dare a mere god of death dare to be so presumptuous!"
"Kill him."
"..."
Before Yhwach could speak, the members of the Star Cross Knights around him had angry expressions on their faces, looking at Duan Mu with murderous intent in their eyes.
But some people had a strange look in their eyes, because the other person's words had already vaguely explained one thing.
That is...
The terrifyingly powerful Arrancars in Xuye Palace are most likely subordinates of the young man in front of them.
"oh?"
Yhwach smiled when he heard this:
"So, are you the one who brought new changes to the ten blades in Xuye Palace?"
After saying that, he nodded slightly without waiting for Duan Mu to reply:
"Instead of choosing to confront me head-on, it is indeed a good way to save them in this way."
"but……"
"Even if you risk your life and come here, you still won't be able to save them. If you hide obediently in the Seireitei, I may even give you the opportunity to choose to join me."
"That's true."
Regarding Yhwach's words, Duan Mu did not refute, but nodded, but then the conversation changed:
"But you're wrong about one thing."
Duan Mu slowly raised his head, and Ju Ming in his hand turned into a spirit and dissipated in an instant, almost at the same time as Ju Ming disappeared.
Buzz~~
The entire invisible empire suddenly shook, and everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the vibration. The scene that caught their eyes made everyone stiffen.
Looking around, I saw two huge purple vortexes appearing on the dark sky above the Invisible Empire.
As they looked, the vortex gradually condensed, eventually forming a pair of shining purple eyes.
At this moment, everyone in the entire invisible empire, including Yhwach, was under the gaze of those purple eyes.
"O King of Quincy."
Duan Mu's voice, so plain that it sounded like a god, clearly reached everyone's ears:
"What gave you the illusion that I risked my life to come here?"
Under the gaze of those purple eyes, everyone instinctively felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
It's not a feeling of discomfort, but a kind of biological instinct of discomfort and disgust. The murderous intention in my heart rises uncontrollably, and I can't wait to kill the owner of the purple eyes immediately.
Yhwach withdrew his gaze from Duan Mu and turned to look at the pair of purple eyes above his head, with a strange color flashing in his eyes.
Because even he felt that disgust.
It's not that he doesn't know anything about Duanmu Zanpakuto's abilities.
When the Zanpakutō rampage occurred in Soul Society, Duanmu had fought with his own Zanpakutō, and it was this battle that he recorded Duanmu in the 'Special Record of Combat Power'.
That's right, it wasn't because Duan Mu defeated Aizen.
But long before that, Duan Mu was already a special combat force in his eyes.
Analysis of everything!
What can be analyzed is not only the human body, moves, and souls, but even the rules contained in the holy texts are no exception!
Therefore, although he was surprised that Duan Mu invaded the Invisible Empire, he was not surprised at all that Duan Mu was able to invade here.
Because, the realm of shadow is also a rule.
It can be said that there is nothing that cannot be analyzed in front of Duanmu's Zanpakutō, and even if there is, it is only because the master is not strong enough.
What made his eyes look strange was not just disgust, but also...
"Has the swastika been lifted?"
Yhwach sneered: "It seems that you have more information than I thought."
Although that kind of instinctive disgust has not dissipated, the eyes that are integrated with this space at this time are not the swastika. Instead, when the swastika is lifted, all the abilities of the swastika are vented and engraved.
Within this space that he has analyzed for a long time.
In this way, Duan Mu can use the ability of swastika in the state of initial solution.
However, this kind of engraving cannot last long, and when the energy is exhausted, it will naturally cease to exist.
But this kind of imprinting of the swastika energy... or integrating it into the realm of shadow cannot be done in a short time.
If nothing unexpected happens...
While he was destroying the realm of shadows, he was already integrating his own swastika into this space bit by bit, and was constantly accumulating energy.
Carrying out such a laborious and thankless act shows that he is very aware that the invisible empire he leads has some ability to plunder Swastika.
Looking at Duanmu below, Yhwach suddenly remembered the judgment Aizen had made about him.
Duan Mu is suspected of having some ability to see fragments of the future!
"hehe."
Thinking of this, Yohabach didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly smiled and shook his head.
"Ridiculous~!"
No one knew whether the word "ridiculous" in his mouth was mocking Aizen's judgment or mocking Duan Mu's ability.
But no one cared.
because……
It's getting foggy!
The gray mist spread unconsciously, filling every corner of the invisible empire.
All the people whose attention was attracted by those purple eyes did not pay much attention to the mist, until someone said in horror:
"That guy disappeared!"
Disappeared?
How is that possible!?
Hearing this sentence, everyone subconsciously wanted to refute. Surrounded by so many Star Cross Knights, if they could all disappear quietly, then they could really be killed by a piece of tofu.
He probably just used the gray mist to hide his figure, or used a ghost path similar to 'Qu Guang'.
However, when they went to look for Duan Mu, they found...
The other party really disappeared!
Not only the other party, but also the companions around him disappeared.
It cannot be said to have disappeared, because they can reach out and grab their companions, but they cannot feel the presence of their companions.
Breath, spiritual pressure, intuition...
All perceptions are ineffective under the shroud of gray fog.
It was only then that everyone realized the strangeness of the gray mist.
Under the shroud of gray mist, it was like being trapped in the deep sea, and every move became extremely heavy. Even moving a finger required a huge amount of strength and spiritual pressure.
And what scares everyone the most is...
Unable to detect!
The gray fog was like a barrier, blocking all their perception of the outside world.
There is a feeling that there is only one person left in the whole world.
It is obvious that he can catch his companion, but even if he holds hands, the companion is like a dead person in his perception, without revealing the slightest breath.
Some people subconsciously started running, but no matter how they ran, they couldn't escape the surrounding gray fog.
Even without realizing it, he was back to where he was.
"What the hell is this?"
"Where did that guy go?"
"..."
Familiar voices kept coming from around me, but they seemed extremely hollow, and it was impossible to determine where the voices were coming from.
But some people realize it!
What surrounded them was not ordinary mist, but some kind of realm.
This is also true.
Duan Mu stood in the mist. From the beginning to the end, he never moved. However, the members of the Star Cross Knights who were attacking him according to their memories all passed by him and could never come.
in front of him.
This is the realm of beginning to understand that belongs to the New Juming!
In the battle where Duan Mu conquered Ju Ming, Ju Ming used this area to trap Duan Mu in place.
However, after Duan Mu conquered Ju Ming, he basically never used this field.
because……
In a way, this field is a useless field, not even as good as the original Ju Ming field, and plays no role in a one-on-one battle.
The gray mist is extremely heavy, and actions consume spiritual pressure, which is not a problem for those who have reached the captain level.
And the only bright spot, the ability to block perception is indeed extremely terrifying.
But as Duan Mu said...
In a one-on-one battle, it has no effect at all.
Because as long as Duan Mu attacks, this kind of shielding will be completely ineffective for the target he wants to attack at that moment.
After Duan Mu conquered Ju Ming, most of the battles were one-on-one fights. Even if he was besieged... the enemies were the kind of people who could be easily killed. There was absolutely no need to spend a lot of spiritual pressure in the battle to maintain it.
Such a useless area.
This made Duan Mu once think that there was no need for this kind of field to exist, and he even laughed at it in his heart when he conquered Ju Ming.
It wasn't until he was surrounded by the Star Cross Knights that Duan Mu suddenly discovered...
Ju Ming’s initial interpretation doesn’t seem so useless.
Unlike the Star Cross Knights, who are like headless flies, the gray fog is as if it does not exist at all to the master Duan Mu. He can clearly see the positions of everyone in the Star Cross Knights around him, and can also see
Above his head, Yhwach locked himself through the gray fog.
Duan Mu was not surprised by this. If the field of initial explanation could obscure Yhwach's perception, then Yhwach would not be worthy of him paying so much attention to it.
What he wants is not to block Yhwach's perception, but to create an arena where he and Yhwach can fight alone!
To some extent...
There is no difference between the new Juming's Shijie realm and the arena in the former Juming Shijie realm.
They are all fighting against each other in the same way, and the rest can only act as spectators, but there is no audience stand.
bring it on!
Duan Mu slowly rose into the air, the nearly 1.6-meter long gray sword in his hand showing its sharpness at this moment, and the spiritual pressure around him soared into the sky.
But in the gray fog, the only person who can feel all this is Yhwach!
He looked at Duan Mu rising into the sky, and the sneer on his face did not subside, but instead became more intense:
"Childish trick."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched Duan Mu below: "What on earth gave you the illusion that I need help from others to kill you?"
Buzz~
The huge sacred destroying arrow condensed in an instant and headed towards Duan Mu like a meteorite.
"It's not a good habit to imitate parrots."
Duan Mu said this so righteously that he completely forgot that he also remembered this sentence because of someone.
As he spoke, Duan Mu swung his Zanpakutō upwards.
This wave did not produce astonishing energy fluctuations, but gave people the illusion of being extremely slow.
However……
The moment when the sword reaches its extreme limit.
The extremely heavy gray fog that could not be dispelled no matter what, suddenly split into two!
Also divided into two is the divine destruction condensed by Yhwach.
Boom~~!
The violent explosion echoed in every corner of the invisible empire.
Although since the fight with Unohana Retsu... Well, strictly speaking, it should be a one-sided attack, Duan Mu has not used a pure beheading technique in a battle for a long time.
But don't forget.
After spiritual pressure and physical strength, his ability that first reached the ultimate barrier was the slicing technique.
This slash, after destroying the sacred destroying arrow, was not reduced in power at all, and it arrived in front of Yhwach in the blink of an eye.
Faced with this blow, Yhwach could not help but frown.
Because Duan Mu's cutting skills at this time once again exceeded his expectations.
Only more than a year had passed since Duanmu's battle with Aizen, and during this year Duanmu had never fought with anyone.
So his understanding of Duan Mu...
No, strictly speaking...
It should be that his understanding of Duan Mu and Aizen is still stuck in the battle more than a year ago!
…
Well, the new Jumei's first solution appeared in chapters 248 and 249. To be honest...if I didn't read the Zanpakutō settings in the outline, I wouldn't have thought of the Zanpakutō's first solution ability...
