I don't know why, but she seems to have entered some kind of magical realm, where consciousness and matter are separated.
Her soul was outside the body and saw what was happening now.
Everything around her was still, and the sharp sword that could cut off her life was hanging above her head.
No one had time to react, and she could almost clearly see the expressions on the faces of everyone around her.
The coldness and cruelty on Yhwach's face, the anxiety and anger on the faces of her father and other people who cared about her, and the confusion on her own face.
Yes, her body has not yet reacted, so the expression on her face has not changed.
This sword was very fast, so fast that she could not feel death, but death was indeed approaching.
"what on earth is it?"
Mari Kuchiki didn't quite understand what was happening to him at this moment.
A revolving door? Not really.
She did not start to recall everything in the past, but seemed to be locked in this moment. She could do nothing but look at everything around her that was still. She didn't even know how long this situation could last.
Apart from watching everything around her and waiting quietly for this weird 'moment' to end, she seemed to be unable to do anything, and she couldn't even feel the existence of her own body.
Is this the so-called death? All Mari Kuchiki could think of was death, and she began to wonder if she was already dead. She was the God of Death, and of course she knew the best about what happens after death.
In this world, after the human body dies, the soul will stay in this world, either becoming a void, or being guided to the Soul Society by the God of Death. Before that, the human soul was probably in the same state as it is now, like the lonely soul.
It wanders around the world like a ghost. No one can see it, no one can feel it, and it cannot affect everything around it.
The only difference may be that the 'time' she is experiencing now is still.
"what to do?"
Mari Kuchiki looked at everything in front of him in confusion.
She tried to touch her body, but she couldn't touch anything as she was only conscious, so she stretched out her hand and passed through her body.
This was probably the cruelest death, it really seemed like a joke played on her by the world.
Although she was given enough time to think, she was not given a chance to save what was happening before her. All her thinking here was meaningless.
"Just wait quietly."
A gentle voice responded to her question.
"who?"
Kuchiki Mari looked around, but found no one else.
Everything around her was frozen, and no one could speak except her.
Soon, she suddenly lowered her head and looked at the Zanpakutō in her hand.
She remembered that this was the voice of 'Senbonzakura'.
"Are you talking?"
"Um."
"What are you waiting for quietly?"
The truth of rotten wood is incomprehensible.
What else could she wait for now? Except death.
"Wait until it's all over."
The voice sounded again, looking very weak and helpless.
"No, I don't want it!"
Kuchiki Mari was a little anxious.
"Don't let it end like this!"
She looked at everyone frozen around her.
All the combat power of the Soul Society was here, but they tried their best and still couldn't stop the progress of the man in front of her.
If it ends like this, not only herself, but the entire Soul Society and the entire world will be finished.
She could almost imagine the confused, helpless, and desperate expressions on people's faces, which were exactly the same as her own expression now.
What is the purpose of becoming a god of death? What is the purpose of becoming stronger?
To gain everyone's approval.
What if everyone is gone?
Everything seems to be in vain.
Mari Kuchiki suddenly felt even more confused.
She lost her goal at this moment.
It makes no sense, it makes no sense at all.
She suddenly felt that everything in this world was meaningless, just like she could not change everything in front of her now, everything seemed to be clearly arranged by fate, and everyone's efforts were in vain.
Not just herself, but also the people around her.
She stared blankly at the expressions of the people around her. Whether it was the captain, her father or others, these people were so strong, but they still could not escape the fate of being destroyed.
No matter how hard they try, they can't change the current situation, because the enemy in front of them is like cheating and cannot be defeated at all.
She remembered that Yhwach once explained to her that ability, 'omniscience and omnipotence', which was an almost unsolvable ability.
She couldn't imagine how strong she had to become to be able to crack such a cheating ability.
Become as strong as the captain? No, the captain has no room to fight back in front of this person.
Becoming as strong as the Captain? No, the Captain also failed.
Father?
She turned to look at her father, whose frozen face was full of anxiety.
It's hopeless, no one has the power to change the status quo.
This forced her to admit that it was all over.
No, that's not right.
Mari Kuchiki suddenly remembered something and stared closely at the Zanpakutō in his hand.
If nothing makes sense, then why give yourself time to think?
"You must have something to do, right?"
There was almost a pleading in her voice.
"Since everything can be fixed, it means there is a way, right?"
"No, I can't help it."
A helpless voice came from the Zanpakutō, "Time has not stopped, and nothing can be changed."
The soul sealed in Senbonzakura seems to have become accustomed to this situation, because she can do nothing but wait for someone to find her.
She almost forgot how long she had been waiting in this world, attached to different people, and lived with them for a long time. In the end, she was sealed into the Zanpakutō by someone unknown, and the surroundings were pitch black and she could not feel anything.
Until now, this girl suddenly broke in here.
"How can it be?"
Mari Kuchiki shook his head in disbelief, "Look, isn't everything stopped now?"
She looked around at everything, and in her eyes everything was indeed still, as if time had been suspended.
"You should have felt it. This is not the world you were originally in."
That voice ruthlessly shattered Kuchiki Mari's illusions.
"Your body may be dead, but your consciousness broke into this place. This is the place where I was sealed. Originally there was nothing, there was a long darkness. And you brought all this."
"how come?"
Kuchiki Truth cannot be understood.
Is this joke too big? It means that she could have died painlessly, but in the end, she had to watch herself being killed bit by bit because she accidentally entered the 'world' of 'Senbonzakura'?
"Perhaps it's because you are unwilling to accept it?"
There was a bit of helplessness in that voice, "That's why it resonates with my soul, that's why I broke in here unintentionally."
"Of course I won't give in! Who would want to die like this?"
Mari Kuchiki felt inexplicably angry.
She began to wonder if the guy she was communicating with was actually the consciousness of Senbonzakura.
She can be regarded as the owner of 'Senbonzakura' after all. She carved the essence of her soul into the Zanpakutō to unlock it.
Although Zanpakutō has its own personality, it is absolutely loyal to its 'master'.
But now the guy he was communicating with felt that he had nothing to do with him. He was just like a stranger standing aside watching a show, staring at him indifferently and not feeling the slightest bit of empathy for what he was going through.
"Who are you anyway?"
"me?"
The voice was a little confused, "I forgot... I forgot who I was and how long I was locked up here. I only remember... what I seemed to be waiting for?"
"Is that why you told me to wait quietly?"
Mari Kuchiki frowned.
"Yeah." The voice responded softly, seeming to be particularly concerned about this one thing.
"I do not want it!"
Kuchiki Mari retorted word for word.
"Who wants to wait here with you?"
She anxiously jumped up and down in this still space, as if trying to find a way out.
Although she didn't know what was happening outside, she knew she couldn't sit here and wait for death any longer.
"Would you like to go out?"
The voice asked doubtfully.
"certainly."
Mari Kuchiki answered without hesitation.
"But... no one knows what happened outside. Maybe your body is dead. If you go out from here, even your consciousness will die." The voice seemed to want to persuade her to stay.
"You mean that as long as I stay here, my consciousness will never disappear?" Mari Kuchiki asked.
"I don't know, but it should be like this, right?" The voice was uncertain.
"If that's the case, do you want me to stay here with you all the time?" Mari Kuchiki laughed angrily.
"It would really be nice if someone could talk to me."
There was a touch of joy in her voice. She had forgotten how long she had been trapped here. Nothing existed except silence and darkness around her, and she couldn't even feel how long it had been.
The arrival of this girl brought everything outside in. Although this picture is not a beautiful scene, it still has some color.
Maybe after this girl leaves here, everything here will return to its original appearance.
She was tired of such a dark world.
"But this place doesn't belong to me!"
Mari Kuchiki waved the Zanpakutō in her hand. She didn't know if it was meaningful or not. She just wanted to leave here.
Staying here and never losing consciousness? That does sound tempting.
But she couldn't accept it.
Who wants to be trapped in such a time and space forever!?
Who wants to look at this despairing scene all the time?
She knew that there should be another world that belonged to her. Even if that world was destroyed, even if she died there, she must go back.
She didn't know what would happen when she went back, but escaping was never an option for her.
"Doesn't belong to me..."
The voice repeated Kuchiki Mari's words, seeming a little confused.
"I don't want to escape reality here, I want to go back to where I belong!"
Kuchiki Mari used the knife in her hand to strike at Yhwach, who was frozen in the frame.
She tried to tear up the scene in front of her and return to her own world.
But with only consciousness left, she couldn't touch everything around her.
The blade passed through Yhwach's shadow without resistance, and no matter how hard she tried, it could not affect the scene in front of her.
"Don't run away...go back to...where I belong..."
The voice kept repeating Kuchiki Mari's words, sounding more and more confused and at a loss.
"It must be not for nothing that I come here."
Kuchiki Mari's eyes were filled with anger, and the hand wielding the knife became more determined.
After knowing what exactly happened to her at this moment, she felt unspeakable anger and threw all her previous confusion and helplessness behind her.
Are you kidding me? You want her to stay in this inexplicable place all the time? It’s totally not in line with her style, okay!?
If she really stayed, wouldn't it be a complete admission that she came here because she was afraid and wanted to escape!?
"Anyway, go back first, there will definitely be a solution!"
At this moment, there was only this one thought left in Mari Kuchiki's mind.
What may be waiting for her outside is death, an invincible enemy.
But that doesn't matter to her now.
"Yes, I have to go back first and think about the rest later."
"Forehead?"
Mari Kuchiki was stunned.
Because the tone of the voice that reached her ears suddenly changed and became extremely firm.
"you?"
"Thank you. If it weren't for your reminder, I would have almost forgotten..."
The voice is getting closer and closer, becoming more and more cheerful, confident, and proud, "Not only you, this place also - does not belong to me!"
Suddenly, Mari Kuchiki felt someone holding his hand.
To be precise, someone wanted to hold the Zanpakutō in her hand.
"This is……"
She lowered her head and stared blankly at her body. A shadow overlapped with her own figure, and she held the Zanpakutō named "Senbonzakura".
"Come on, let's leave this place that doesn't belong to us."
The firm voice echoed in Kuchiki Mari's mind.
She suddenly felt an inexplicable power coming from the hand holding the knife, which made her subconsciously feel that if it were now, she could split the void.
"Click——"
Time and space suddenly shattered, and what appeared in front of them was nothingness. And the next moment, light shone into the nothingness, and their vision gradually became clear like a flower in the dark.
In front of me is a sharp sword whizzing towards me.
Kuchiki Mari raised his head and looked directly at the sword and that person.
Yhwach, who was wielding his sword, was suddenly stunned.
He looked at the girl in front of him in astonishment. He saw that the girl was smiling. He couldn't understand the meaning of the smile, but for some reason, he suddenly felt that the girl in front of him seemed to be a different person.
And the most important thing is that the girl doesn't have him in her eyes at this moment.
The girl was looking at the whole world, but in his eyes, it was more like - arrogant!
