Chapter 577 570. Soul: Bengyu? What is that thing?
"What...what on earth am I doing?"
Ishida Uryu asked himself.
"Yes, what are you doing? Yulong."
"?"
Ishida Uryu turned around.
The surrounding environment suddenly changed like a slideshow.
He came to a balcony where clothes were hanging.
He remembered this place, this was...the balcony of the house where he once lived with his master.
"What are you thinking about? Yulong."
"Uh? Ah? Master?"
Ishida Uryu looked at the familiar face in front of him, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Is this an illusion? Or a dream?
"Uryong, now is not the time for you to be confused."
The old man looked at the bewildered young man with a smile and sighed, "It's not terrible to do something wrong. All we can do is reflect on what we can do to avoid the same thing happening again, that's all."
"But Master...I..."
Ishida Uryu opened his mouth.
Although he didn't want to admit it, there was really nothing he could do about the current situation.
What is happening cannot be changed, and it is impossible for him to turn the tide with his own power, not even with the half-hearted Shinigami Kurosaki Ichigo.
Thinking back on it, why did he have such an unreasonable competition with Kurosaki Ichigo?
Ah, yes...he remembered.
He wanted to prove that the Quincy was much more efficient in destroying Hollows than the Shinigami, and that his master was right.
The so-called revenge is just an excuse. After all, his master has never instilled in him the concept of hating others and hating others in life.
Before he became a true Quincy, his master was the last Quincy. When his master was still alive, he was closely monitored by the God of Death as a survivor of the Quincy.
Although Master is the only Quincy left in the entire Quincy, Master still insists on telling the Death God the importance of Quincy's existence and exploring ways to work together to fight.
Master believes that Shinigami usually stay in the Soul Society and are not sensitive enough to the Hollows that appear in the real world, so they need Quincy existences like them who stay in the real world and can detect Hollows at any time and respond quickly.
But Death's answer is always the same - stay out of our work.
The final result was that Master died.
The enemies that day were five huge Hollows. The 'Big Hollow' was not something that an ordinary Shinigami or Quincy could defeat alone, let alone five of them appearing at the same time.
Obviously, without the support of the God of Death, Master is no match for them.
That's why Ishida Uryū thought that his master was right... the reaction of the Shinigami was too slow.
By the time those gods of death arrived, it had already been two hours after Master had fought hard, and there was no doubt that Master had died in the battle.
Until the end, those Shinigami did not accept the Master's suggestion. If the Shinigami were willing to accept the Master's suggestion and acknowledge the Quincy's abilities, they would have come to help him earlier, right?
if that is the case……
Thinking of this, Ishida Uryu looked at the lifelike old man in front of him, "In that case, Master, you don't have to die..."
"Huh? Haha..."
The old man seemed a little unclear as to what Uryū Ishida was thinking, but seeing the child's remorseful expression in front of him, he just smiled softly.
Facing the master who could still smile, Ishida Uryu felt increasingly uncomfortable.
"Master, don't you hate those gods of death? Because of them... you..."
Why can Master still smile like this? Uryu Ishida is a little unwilling.
He wanted to prove the power of the Quincy, but he overestimated the limits of his own power, so that the current situation has reached an irreversible point. He clearly does not have that ability, but he still refuses to accept other people's suggestions... He is now
What's the difference between his approach and those of the God of Death?
"Hate? Why?"
The old man replied with a smile, "Don't worry, Uryū. You're too anxious... My wish is that one day the God of Death and the Quincy can work together to fight, but I know that the grudge between the Quincy and the God of Death is not that
It's easy to resolve. At least... I can't rely on my strength alone. It will be a very long journey and requires the efforts of one generation after another.
So don’t worry, your life is still very long, and you have plenty of time to think slowly.”
"Did I...understand it wrong?"
Ishida Uryu felt a little regretful, "I'm sorry...Master..."
He seemed to finally understand that his master did not hate the God of Death. His greatest wish was that one day the God of Death and the Quincy could resolve their differences and fight together.
He was wrong.
He just didn't dare to face his master's death, so he misinterpreted his master's wishes.
He did not dare to face himself, who had been hiding aside when his master was attacked by Xu, and did not dare to come forward. He hated the God of Death because he did not think about going out to save his master at that time, but placed his hope on those Gods of Death. In the end, those Gods of Death
But it was too late.
In the final analysis, this is just a personal grudge.
"I'm so...so stupid."
"Kid, don't worry so much."
The old man chuckled, "As I said, you still have a long life, you can think slowly and grow up slowly."
"But……"
Ishida Uryu gritted his teeth.
If so many people were really killed because of what he did, then he would probably never be able to forgive himself for being like this.
"Haha, don't worry."
A kind smile appeared on the old man's face. He stretched out his old hand and caressed the forehead of the young man in front of him. "Adults will help correct the mistakes children make. What you have to do now... is to grow up well."
"Master..."
Looking at the smile on the old man's face in front of him, Ishida Uryu burst into tears for some reason.
"Yes, hehe... crying is also a child's job."
The old man looked at Ishida Uryu crying like a child, and laughed, "Leave the next thing to us. Don't make any mistakes again, old man, don't let everything I do go in vain..."
The old man turned around and slowly walked towards the edge of the balcony.
Ishida Uryu stretched out his hand to hold it, but found that he could not move at all.
He could only watch the old man step by step towards the empty sky, and finally disappeared into this space.
······
"Please, my lord."
In the blank space, the old man whispered to the boy-like figure.
"Um."
Xuan Hao nodded slowly.
Educating children is always the job of the elders.
He admired such an old man very much because it reminded him of a person.
"Are you really not going to stay and protect him?"
"No need, I believe this child will not get lost again in the future."
The old man chuckled, "I really hope to see the scene where the God of Death and the Quincy live in harmony. In that case... Uryū will probably live a happier life, right?"
"There will come a day when your apprentice will witness it with your own eyes on your behalf."
Xuan Hao waved slightly, and the old man's remnant soul turned into a point of light and came to his hand.
This is also a soul fragment full of obsession.
Ishida Uryu's master wanted to create a world where Shinigami and Quincy coexist in harmony. Of course, it was not for himself, an old man who was already dying. He just wanted to pave a bright road for the children who were still growing up in ignorance.
But in the end, it was more than enough.
This old man was probably still rejoicing until his death. He was glad that the young Uryu Ishida did not rush out to save him recklessly.
······
boom.
Ishida Uryu felt like he was hit by someone.
When he reacted, he found that he had returned to the original place, that is, surrounded by the virtual tide.
"Asshole! What are you doing in your daze!? Do you want to die?"
Kurosaki Ichigo pressed his Zanpakutō against the open and bloody mouth of the Hollow in front of him, and angrily cursed at Uryū Ishida.
"you……"
Ishida Uryu came back from his trance, "Why did you save me?"
"are you an idiot?"
Kurosaki Ichigo exerted force on his hand, pushed Xu away, and then struck with a stab.
"Our victory is not over yet! Weren't you very arrogant before!? What!? Have you lost your fighting spirit and want to give up!? Come back to your senses now! Now is not the time to be in a daze! Of course...
If you admit defeat, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Saying that, Kurosaki Ichigo retreated to Ishida Uryu's side. The two of them were surrounded by the virtual tide and seemed to have narrowly escaped death.
"boom--"
The spiritual arrow appeared again and penetrated Xu who wanted to get closer.
After a long silence, Ishida Uryu cheered up, adjusted his glasses, and for some reason a smile appeared on his face.
"Are you...are you kidding!? I will admit defeat!?"
He felt like laughing when he heard the guy behind him saying something he didn't mean.
He had no idea what this guy named Kurosaki Ichigo was thinking in his mind. How could he actually come back to help him in this situation?
Just like an idiot.
But...it would be nice if all the gods of death were such idiots.
In that case, grandpa's wish will probably come true soon, right?
Spiritual power surrounds the spiritual bow, and the spiritual arrows condense again.
Ishida Uryu took a deep breath. For some reason, he felt that his physical strength was gradually recovering.
"The game ends here, let's go on together -"
"Nonsense! Who has time to play games with you now?"
Before Ishida Uryū finished speaking, Kurosaki Ichigo retorted, "But if there's a group fight, I'm happy to accompany you!"
"What kind of thinking do you have!" Uryū Ishida was speechless for a while.
"Don't be verbose. When fighting in a group, aren't we supposed to help each other?"
A trace of cold sweat broke out on Kurosaki Ichigo's forehead, and he was back to back with Ishida Uryu behind him.
This scene seems a bit similar to when he and Chado were beaten together. It's just that this time the teammates have changed, and the opponent has turned into a soul-eating monster.
There is nothing to be afraid of!
"I still have family to protect. I can't die here. Don't hold me back!"
"Noisy!"
······
"Breaking Path·White Thunder!"
boom.
The pale lightning struck Xu's body, but unfortunately it only made a muffled sound and did not cause any substantial damage.
boom--
Angered by Bai Lei, Kyon suddenly waved his arm and hit Rukia Kuchiki.
"hateful!"
Kuchiki Rukia rolled away in confusion.
Her Kidō hitting Xu was useless as if it were scratching an itch. She had obviously been in the body for almost two months, so logically she should have recovered some of her strength, but she still didn't.
A way to unleash the power of death.
It seems that she underestimated the amount of power that Kurosaki Ichigo could take away from her. This guy seemed to have completely drained her dry!
"what to do?"
Kuchiki Rukia reached out and touched her chest.
In the current situation, it seems that only Bengyu's power can save her.
"it's useless."
A joking voice suddenly came from behind, and Rukia Kuchiki was stunned.
And just when she was in a daze, the virtual creature found an opportunity to pounce on her again.
"Go away!"
boom--
The Hollow suddenly flew backwards, and Kuchiki Rukia looked at a leg extending from her back in surprise.
"Hi, long time no see!"
Hun touched her bangs and said hello to her with a stinky look.
"How could you guy..."
"Damn it, the boss asked me to rescue you. Otherwise, I would still be dating girls, so how could I have time to care about you? Now is the time for heroes to save beauties. What a waste of opportunity!" Hun looked resentful.
, it seems that I have suffered a big loss.
"###!?"
Kuchiki Rukia's fist was hard and hard.
"You mean saving me doesn't count as a hero saving a beauty?"
"Don't you have any ideas in mind?"
Soul's eyes slightly lowered, looking at Kuchiki Rukia's poor tablet, the meaning was self-evident.
"you……"
Kuchiki Rukia is very angry.
She wanted to hit someone, but found that she couldn't.
Moreover, this guy was sent by Xuan Hao to protect her. Speaking of which, she had to be grateful.
Although, md, I am still angry!
"What did you mean by useless?"
"literal meaning."
Hun stretched out his hand and pointed at the opponent's chest gently, "You just wanted to use the power of that thing to solve the dilemma, right? It's useless. Even if that thing works, you can't defeat that virtual thing."
"ha?"
Kuchiki Rukia looked unbelieving.
With Bengyu possessing such dangerous power, how could he not even be able to deal with the Hollow that was kicked to death by this guy?
"Don't believe it."
Hun shrugged slightly, "Didn't the boss explain the function of that thing to you?"
"yes……"
Kuchiki Rukia suddenly recalled what the man had described about the role of Hongyoku.
The real power of Bengyu is to realize people's inner wishes by developing them according to their own thoughts, but the condition is that they need to have the strength to realize this wish...
This is to start strengthening based on her current state, and such strengthening is a process of development and does not directly reach the end.
In other words, she is so weak now, even if Bengyu exerts her strength, she will not be able to defeat this virtual one for a while.
"Then...what happened to the Tang Guanyin Temple before?" Rukia Kuchiki frowned.
She clearly remembers that guy suddenly became capable of being defeated!
"Nonsense, that's the effect of the guidance of my boss's ability. To put it bluntly, he just wants you to understand more clearly, so he just increased the intensity a little bit." Hun's tone of voice was extremely proud. His family
The boss is an invincible being. What does Beng Yu mean?
"Anyway, my boss said that the weak will always be the weak. So what if we get Bengyu?"
"..."
At this time, Rukia Kuchiki lost her dream.
"Ah? Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean anything against you..."
Seeing the lost girl, Hun was at a loss, "My boss said that no matter who gets Bengyu, he will be treated the same... I'm not saying you are weak..."
