The future you left did not exist from the beginning?
Looking at Yhwach in front of him, the panic on Duan Mu's face gradually calmed down.
wrong!
Because judging from Yhwach's words, although he changed the future of his departure, he did not know the way he left and why 'he' did not stop it.
That is to say...
It's not because Ju Ming's effect has been erased, or the seal of his own blood is invalid, both of which are things that Yhwach has not 'seen'.
The reason why I couldn't leave was entirely because the way I left was connected to the power of Yhwach.
Thinking of this, Duan Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The existence of the Shadow Realm is extremely special. He was able to invade here only because he turned himself into a part of the Shadow Flame with the analysis ability of Ku Mei, the swastika, and came here together with the Quincy who was killed by a sword.
So if you want to leave, you can only use the same method.
But this method will inevitably be connected with the power of Yhwach. As long as you cannot cut off its connection with the realm of shadows, no matter how you try, the 'future' you leave here will be changed by it.
This is really disappointing.
Duan Mu smiled bitterly. He had actually tried his best to avoid using methods that would be erased. In order not to be interfered by Yhwach, he even used the seal of his own blood.
result……
The 'now' that he left has indeed restricted all of Yohabach's actions, making it impossible for him to stop him.
However, the opponent's method of stopping it was to interfere in the 'past' at the beginning of the war.
Omniscient and omnipotent!
Sure enough, even with incomplete omniscience and omnipotence, it is still an extremely difficult ability. The only thing that can resist the opponent's ability is itself and the Zanpakutō extended by itself.
Yhwach was not in a hurry to kill Duan Mu, but there was a flash of doubt in his eyes.
Because, at the moment when Duan Mu sealed him, Yhwach recalled the battle with Duan Mu. Although he said something like, "Everything I see will become incompetent in front of me,"
But from beginning to end...
He himself has not expressed his power of holy writing, ‘omniscience and omnipotence (almighty)’.
But when Duan Mu was fighting with him, he seemed to know his abilities very well, and all fighting methods were based on the analysis of his ability to write holy words.
but……
Although he was confused, Yhwach did not ask or delve into it, but without saying a word, he slashed the cross sword in his hand towards the tree in front of him.
Everything Duan Mu showed made him feel inexplicably uneasy, and he had a vague feeling that if he didn't kill the opponent as soon as possible, the opponent might find other ways to get out of trouble.
This strike came in a blink of an eye, giving Duan Mu no time to breathe.
Duan Mu watched the blade coming, but did not dodge. More strictly speaking, he was unable to dodge. He had already consumed all his arrangements and his own remaining energy on the Shadow Flame Teleportation.
Now, it is extremely difficult for him to even move.
But not dodging does not mean giving up!
Facing the incoming knife, purple spiritual lines appeared on the surface of Duan Mu's body.
At the same time, the core of spiritual pressure in his body was vibrating crazily, injecting energy into the branch-like spiritual void patterns on his body surface.
A faint shimmer appeared on the surface of Duanmu's body, and the branch-like lines spread instantly.
摪——!
The sound of gold and iron clashing sounded, and Yhwach's Annihilation Cross knife stopped on Duan Mu's neck, leaving a shallow mark on it.
This is?
Yhwach looked at the branch-like patterns on Duan Mu's body, his eyes a little weird, because the patterns looked very similar to the Quincy's blood armor, but it revealed a completely different feeling.
and……
He could clearly feel that Duan Mu's spirit body was gradually dissipating, which to the God of Death was basically equivalent to the impending death.
But the strange thing is that although the spirit body is dissipating, Duan Mu's body shows no trace of dissipation. Instead, as the branch-like lines on his body spread, he becomes more and more full of vitality.
It felt like sacrificing one's own spirit body and turning everything in oneself into life force.
But normally speaking, whether it is a Shinigami or an Arrancar, their spiritual bodies are equivalent to their vitality, instead of being like now where their bodies are unresponsive, giving people the feeling that their spiritual bodies are disintegrating.
What happened to him?
"What are you doing?"
Yohabach asked about the doubts in his heart, but received no response.
Wrong, or rather...
The other party cannot respond.
As the feeling of spiritual body disintegration spread, Duan Mu in front of Youhabach closed his eyes tightly. Although his body revealed a rich vitality, his whole person seemed to be transformed into an indestructible stone with no will at all.
.
Self-proclaimed?
At this moment, Youhabach finally understood what Duan Mu was doing!
He sacrificed everything he had, even his spiritual body, and integrated it into his body, which was different from the God of Death, in exchange for powerful defense and terrifying vitality that could restore all injuries.
But this kind of self-proclaiming will also gradually close his consciousness and fall into a spiral full of contradictions called "living" and "dying" at the same time.
Compared to his former self-proclaimed self, Duan Mu's current state gave Yhwach a...
More inclined to the feeling of the Spirit King!!
"Is this the method you have chosen?"
Wanting to understand this, Yhwach couldn't help but carefully observe Duan Mu's body in front of him.
Although he had already realized that Duan Mu's body was extremely strange when he was sealed by Duan Mu with his own blood, the current state of Duan Mu still made him feel a little unbelievable.
He has never seen such a special being.
In a certain way, the other party's body actually showed faint characteristics similar to that of a 'Spirit King'. Youhabach even had a vague feeling that if Duan Mu in his current state was thrown into the Soul King Palace, he might be able to replace the Soul King.
The king becomes the new wedge!
Yhwach's guess was not wrong.
The current state is to sacrifice one's own spirit body to enhance the body's defense capabilities.
When Duanmu was fighting Aizen, he sacrificed his spirit body with "One Sword Cremation" in exchange for a blow that almost killed Aizen.
But he then paid the price of complete disintegration of his spirit body, which would be equivalent to turning into a spirit and dissipating in a normal god of death.
But in the end, Duan Mu relied on the spiritual void pattern and his own Zanpakutō ability to analyze the source of his spiritual body, allowing his spiritual body to be reorganized.
The reason why Duan Mu now has such characteristics similar to the 'Spiritual King' is precisely because the root cause he analyzed is the Soul King that Yohabach thought of!
That's why Duan Mu became what he is now after sacrificing his spirit body.
However, although this kind of spiritual body sacrifice can make Duan Mu's body extremely powerful, the effect can only be maintained until the spiritual body is completely dissipated. In other words, when the spiritual body is completely dissipated, this effect will naturally be gone.
disappeared.
Duan Mu will recover from self-immolation and lose his ability to die like last time.
But this shortcoming is also compensated by Duan Mu with the spirit void patterns that spread all over his body. With the spirit void patterns present, he can continuously absorb the surrounding spirits, keeping the disintegration and recovery of the spirit body balanced.
In fact, it is not difficult to break this state!
Just throw Duan Mu into a world without any spiritual seeds, or send Duan Mu to the present world with few spiritual seeds.
However, the invisible empire hidden in the shadow of the Seireitei has no shortage of spirit sons. In order to maintain the existence of the invisible empire, it needs a steady stream of spirit sons to replenish it.
If there is no replenishment, if the sacrifice is performed at this speed, the strength of Duan Mu's spiritual body after transcendence can be maintained for about three to five days.
But the special way of existence of the Invisible Empire cannot prevent it from cutting off the supply of spiritual seeds for three to five days!
That is to say...
If Yhwach wants to end Duanmu's current state, he must either risk the invisible empire covering the Seireitei and cut off the spirit children, or bring Duanmu to the living world.
No matter which one he chooses, he will eventually send Duan Mu out of the Shadow Realm with his own hands.
But you must know that after this current state ends, Duan Mu will not die, but will wake up from his self-imposed state.
As for what to do then...
Duan Mu didn't think about it at all. After all, he didn't expect that he would be forced to this step before he came.
Anyway, either he was killed directly by Yhwach, or Tiruti and the others sensed his aura with the spirit void pattern and came to protect him, or Captain Yamamoto was willing to take action himself... Anyway, how many more times will his spirit body be needed in this world?
Genius will completely dissipate and wake up from self-imposed.
During this period, Yhwach, who did not fully open his eyes, could not completely kill himself.
Rather...
If Duan Mu in his prime were allowed to fight Yhwach in this world or in the Soul Society, Duan Mu would be absolutely sure to force him to open his eyes in advance. However, after this battle, Yhwach will probably not rush again before he is ready.
A war started.
As for the disintegration of the spirit body, it can be said that for other people, death is inevitable.
But for Duan Mu, who has already analyzed the 'root' with Ju Ming, there is no need to be as troublesome as last time, it just takes some time.
Yohabach looked at Duan Mu, who was covered in purple light and stuck in place like a stone, with a somewhat uncertain expression.
Because after understanding Duan Mu's current state, he also realized the price he had to pay to kill Duan Mu.
Due to Duanmu's sudden invasion of the Invisible Empire, his first step plan has been disrupted. Now, whether he goes to the real world or allows the Invisible Empire to cover the Seireitei, it is extremely detrimental to Yhwach at the moment.
So after hesitating for a while, the murderous intent in Yhwach's eyes gradually subsided.
Although he did not kill the opponent, Duan Mu's current state will no longer cause trouble for the Invisible Empire's next actions. As long as everything goes according to his plan, he can kill him after he fully recovers.
During this period, as long as he is locked up in the Shadow Realm, he can lead the team to Hueco Mundo again and continue to implement the original plan.
The only thing that makes Yhwach feel unwilling is...
He is currently unable to kill Duan Mu.
"Pointless struggle!"
After snorting coldly, Yhwach turned around and left.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Boom~!
The entire invisible empire suddenly shook.
"What happened again?"
"What happened?"
"That's..."
"..."
baffling!
To be honest, even now, the Star Cross Knights and the Quincy army are still in a state of confusion.
The invisible empire that had never been invaded was suddenly invaded by a god of death.
The terrifying God of Death was finally defeated by His Majesty, and now there was an aura other than that of the Quincy, and it was an aura that was very familiar to the Knights of the Star Cross present.
That aura left a deep impression on them...
Arrancar!!
Looking along the place where the breath came from, I saw a big mouth gradually opening on the dark sky of the invisible empire, eventually forming a huge crack.
At the end of the crack, a terrifying spiritual pressure wave descended on the invisible empire.
…
Hueco Mundo·Outside Xuye Palace.
At this time, the outside of Xuye Palace was completely enveloped by the dark tide. The tide kept surging, and the edge was completely invisible.
It was like black mud, covering the entire Hueco Mundo.
But if you look closely, you will find...
There is no black mud there, but countless Kilians with endless horizons.
In front of Kilian, there is also a relatively small torrent, which is composed of Yachukas of different shapes.
The large number of Kilian is the outer circle, and the sparse Achucas is the inner circle.
The final center is composed of Arrancars, and in the center of all Arrancars, there is still a circle...
The people who make up this circle are entirely composed of ten blades.
"This scene is really spectacular."
Above the wall of Xuye Palace, Urahara Kisuke looked at the situation below and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
The entire Hueco Mundo united to save a Shinigami. Such a spectacular sight, Aizen may have never experienced it.
And what surprised Urahara Kisuke the most was...
The Arrancar that had been transformed by Duanmu actually forcibly established a connection with Duanmu unilaterally, without asking for Duanmu's consent at all. From this point of view... the connection between Duanmu and the Arrancar he transformed is indeed
It's as equal as he said.
This also means...
Duanmu simply does not have the ability to control the Arrancar or make the transformation effects on the Arrancar disappear.
This made Urahara Kisuke even feel a bit bitter.
Isn't that bastard afraid that the Arrancar he transformed will turn around and become his enemy?
…
Meanwhile, the Invisible Empire.
As the crack opened, a golden beam of light fell from the sky, completely covering Duan Mu, and pulled Duan Mu to fly towards the crack along the beam of light.
This is……
Anti film!
"He... you can't take him away!"
The converged energy around Yhwach emerged again, and the pupils in his eyes reappeared, and an energy wave spread out from its center.
Buzz~~
The void trembled, and the cracks in the sky above the invisible empire suddenly began to shrink, as if a big mouth was gradually closing.
Yhwach did not attack the golden anti-membrane barrier, but chose to fundamentally erase the connection between Hueco Mundo and the Invisible Empire from the Realm of Shadow.
Because the anti-membrane was constructed with almost the entire power of Hueco Mundo, it is almost impossible to destroy it from the outside.
But from the root cause, he can easily erase the appearance of anti-film.
However……
The next second, Yhwach's face darkened, and he suddenly raised his head to look at the dark sky.
Where he looked, a human-shaped light and shadow suddenly condensed out of the dark sky, as if it had always been there.
Guangying glanced at the crack and frowned slightly, as if he was disgusted.
But the shrinkage of the cracks suddenly stopped at this moment.
The realm of shadow is out of my control?
wrong.
It's just a partial separation, as if something has merged into that partial shadow realm.
This integration was extremely complete, and Yhwach had previously focused all his attention on Duan Mu, so he was completely unaware of it.
But the moment he saw the light and shadow, Yhwach understood why the other party was able to do this, and also understood that the other party should have used the moment when the invisible empire overlapped with the Seireitei to integrate!
