Chapter 684 677. Do you believe that I am telling the truth?
"You win, Ichigo. Maybe you are right. Teaching you the Hollow as soon as possible may be more in line with your nature..."
Mako Hirako did not answer Kurosaki Ichigo's question, but a cruel smile appeared on his face, "Remember, this is your own choice. If something unexpected happens, don't blame me~"
After the words fell, Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes became dull and lifeless.
In fact, Kurosaki Ichigo has fallen into a deep sleep under the influence of Hirako Mako's spiritual power at this moment, and what Hirako Mako has to do next is the focus.
Mako Hirako walked toward the depths of the factory, while Ratake Aikawa, who was standing beside him, tacitly picked up the sleeping Kurosaki Ichigo and followed him without any instructions.
In order to prevent what happened next here from being noticed by the outside world, Hirako Mako also specifically signaled Yu Akada Hakugen to open a double partition outside the factory.
Everyone went all the way down to the depths of the factory.
What is surprising is that there is a cave deep underground in this abandoned factory.
If Kurosaki Ichigo was still awake at this moment, he would probably easily connect this place with the underground space dug by Urahara Kisuke, because the structure and decoration taste are almost exactly the same.
"Xiaobo, we need to set up a barrier here too!"
After arriving in the underground space, Hirako Mako was a little worried and said to Ariakida Hakugen again.
"Oh~"
Yusho Tian Hao Xuan responded helplessly, he felt as if he was a tool responsible for creating the barrier.
"Don't look aggrieved... Uncle's aggrieved look is not cute at all," Mako Hirako complained a little when he saw the expression on Arisakida Hakugen's face, but soon his expression became serious.
, "Next... we must seal all five bodies of Ichigo!"
"Um... what do you mean by five bodies?" Lisa Yakinmaru asked excitedly.
"Nonsense! Of course it's the limbs and the head! Where else could it be?" Makoto Hirako was speechless, "Okay, ignore her and seal it quickly, Xiaobo."
"clear!"
After hearing this, Yu Zhaotian Bo Xuan's expression also became serious.
Not just him, the expressions on everyone's faces almost became solemn.
An active atmosphere is an active atmosphere, and they still know how dangerous what they are going to do next is.
Of course, Hirako Mako brought Ichigo Kurosaki here after he was knocked unconscious, not just to do nothing, but to allow him to communicate with the Hollow in his body in a simple and crude way... Yes, the easiest way is of course to make him completely Hollow.
change.
And this time is probably ten thousand times more dangerous than the time when Kisuke Urahara helped Ichigo Kurosaki regain the power of death. Because that time he was forcing Ichigo Kurosaki to awaken before becoming hollow, and this time he was trying to force him to awaken.
Become completely virtual and then try to control the power of the virtual.
Therefore, it is impossible not to take complete protective measures.
Soon, everyone in the Masked Legion retreated to a safe distance to make room for Yu Akita Hakugen, who was setting up the barrier.
"The wall of iron sand, the monk-shaped tower, the scorching iron, brilliant yet silent in the end! The Seventy-Fifth of the Binding Dao - Five Iron Pillars!"
Arikada Hakugen was chanting a mantra while forming seals in his hands. As his clenched hands suddenly fell to the ground, five rays of light flickered over Kurosaki Ichigo who was lying on the ground, and then there was an iron pillar.
The float slowly fell down with a crash, suppressing Kurosaki Ichigo's limbs and neck.
Not only that, this seems to be only the first layer of protection. After using the five-pillar iron cannon to suppress Kurosaki Ichigo, Akita Hakogen also arranged layers of cubic barrier spaces in the space around him to suppress Kurosaki.
Ichigo is completely isolated from the outside world.
When everything was ready, everyone looked at the figures inside in silence through the transparent barrier, as if waiting for something.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Ichigo... you will become completely hollow soon! But don't get eaten... if you are eaten... it will be over! If it doesn't work... then just eat the other person.
~"
Mako Hirako looked at the sleeping Kurosaki Ichigo and murmured to himself.
············
"here it is……"
On the other side, Kurosaki Ichigo observed the surrounding environment, his face became heavy.
This is not the first time he has come here.
Facing the sky, behind you is the earth.
At this moment, I felt as if I had overcome gravity and was standing on the wall of a tall building.
Yes, this is the world where Uncle Zangetsu and that guy exist.
"Hey, it's been a long time—"
Sure enough, a slightly crazy and familiar voice came.
Kurosaki Ichigo followed the sound and saw the white figure that frightened him deep in his heart.
If he was not mistaken, this was probably the embodiment of the weak power in his body.
"king."
The pale figure grinned and called Kurosaki Ichigo who came here.
But Kurosaki Ichigo just remained silent without any answer.
"What's wrong? You look sad...ah?"
The figure saw Kurosaki Ichigo in a daze and continued to ask.
Finally, after carefully observing the surroundings and failing to find the person he was looking for, Kurosaki Ichigo opened his mouth and asked: "Uncle Zangetsu...where is he?"
He was a little panicked now.
Because if according to his guess, the guy in front of him is the power of Hollow, then 'Uncle Zangetsu' is probably the power of the Zanpakuto, which is also the power of the Shinigami.
But now that 'Uncle Zangetsu' is gone...does this mean...that he has almost been eaten away by the power of the void?
"Haha...don't you understand yet?"
The white figure smiled helplessly, slowly raised his hand, and a Zanpakutō that was exactly the same as the one Ichigo Kurosaki carried behind his back, except that it was white, appeared in his hand.
"When you say 'Zangetsu', do you mean the one in your hand... or the one in my hand?"
"This is...white Zangetsu!?"
Kurosaki Ichigo was stunned for a moment when he saw the Zanpakutō suddenly appearing in his opponent's hand.
On the opposite side, 'Xu Bai' sneered: "Do you want to know where 'Zhan Yue' is? Then I'll tell you..."
call--
The blade whizzed in almost instantly.
clang--
Kurosaki Ichigo quickly drew his sword to meet him. After the violent sound of the sword, the other party's words slowly reached his ears.
"I am...'Zangetsu'!"
"How can it be!?"
Cold sweat broke out on Kurosaki Ichigo's forehead, he resisted the falling blade with all his strength, and looked at the crazy pale smiling face in front of him with disbelief.
How could he believe what the guy in front of him said?
Obviously, every time I lose control and run away and gradually disappear, I can feel that this guy is up to something.
How could that power, which is clearly Hollow, be that of Zangetsu as a Zanpakutō?
The Zanpakuto is a symbol of the power of the 'God of Death', which is logically unreasonable at all!
············
As Kurosaki Ichigo officially began to fight against "Xu Bai" in that world, his body also began to move in reality.
A terrifying jet-black spiritual pressure continued to gush out from the body that was pressed under the iron pillar. The sleeping face gradually became ferocious, and a terrifying mask began to grow.
Power continued to emerge, and the iron pillars of the seal began to tremble.
"coming--"
Outside the barrier, Mako Hirako reminded the surrounding partners in a deep voice.
"Does this need to be reminded..." Lisa Yakinmaru complained expressionlessly.
All of them could clearly see the changes in Kurosaki Ichigo's body at this moment.
"ha--"
A sound like a sneer suddenly came out, and the sleeping 'Kurosaki Ichigo' opened his eyes, but at this moment he seemed to be no longer the Kurosaki Ichigo before, his eyes were completely shrouded in pitch black, and in addition
The mask that almost covers half of his face looks particularly ferocious.
clang--
The trembling iron pillars finally seemed to be unable to hold him down, and the powerful force allowed him to slowly stand up against the pressure of the five iron pillars on his body.
The five iron pillars seemed so violent that they finally couldn't withstand the erosion of the dark spiritual pressure and collapsed completely.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
Wild laughter came from the barrier.
Under the somewhat ashamed gazes of everyone, Kurosaki Ichigo was laughing wildly like a wild beast that had broken free of its shackles, looking very happy.
He waved the Zangetsu in his hand as if cheering for joy.
"I said...should we have hidden the Zanpakuto before?" Kunan Bai asked with some regret as cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"It's not necessary..." Aikawa Luowu explained in a deep voice, "The power of the Zanpakutō is inseparable from the Shinigami, even after the Hollow. That would only further expand his madness.
.”
As he spoke, he looked at Lisa Yakinmaru who was standing aside.
"Don't look at me, I know."
Lisa Yakinamaru calmly approached the barrier.
They had agreed to take turns keeping an eye on Ichigo Kurosaki, and she happened to be on duty today, so no matter what they did, the order would start with her.
"Bo Xuan, open this place!"
"clear."
Yusho Tian Bo Xuan saw this and did not hesitate. He directly followed the instructions and opened a 'door' in the barrier for only one person to enter.
"Be careful, don't get hung up."
Mako Hirako ordered with an expressionless face.
"..."
There was no reply, and the barrier closed again.
Yakinmaru Lisa came to the barrier and pulled out the Zanpakutō from the scabbard, then threw the scabbard away.
Clang——
The sound seemed to attract the attention of the 'beast'.
Accompanied by the roar of the wind, "Kurosaki Ichigo", wrapped in dark spiritual pressure, rushed towards him like a wild beast with Zangetsu in hand. His entire figure was extremely low, like a real wild beast hunting.
"Lisa Yakinamaru...please give me some advice."
Yakinmaru Lisa calmly looked at the approaching black shadow, and raised her Zanpakutō at her own pace to meet it.
clang--
The sound of swords clashing echoed above the tall buildings again.
Kurosaki Ichigo flew backwards due to the huge force brought by Xubai's slash.
tread--
The spirits gathered at his feet, and he immediately stabilized his body and turned back, swinging his sword to fight back.
"You bastard! Where did you do 'Uncle Zangetsu'!?"
"Do not you upset!?"
Xu Bai responded with a sneer, "How many more times do you have to let me say it!? I am - Zangetsu!"
As he spoke, he increased the strength in his hands again, and dark spiritual power emerged.
Crescent moon clashes in the sky!
boom--
The oncoming violent impact made Kurosaki Ichigo completely unable to react for a moment. He could only barely raise his knife to block, and his whole body was knocked down by the impact and smashed into the wall of a tall building.
"Tsk."
Xu Bai had a very unhappy look on his face, holding the knife and walking slowly towards the direction where Kurosaki Ichigo was knocked down.
He was very depressed.
Really, what's going on these days... No one believes the truth anymore...
"Ichigo... I don't know if you know it clearly, but Zangetsu and I are originally one body, whether it's a Hollow, a Shinigami, or something else... In short, we are all your spiritual power. What you say and I are
Uncle Zangetsu's power is mixed together. If you want to give an example, it is probably like sharing a 'body', which changes its appearance as the master-slave relationship changes. A person is covered with muscles when he or she dies, and changes after death.
Turning into bones, that's how it works! Once my power gains the upper hand, the control of the 'body' will be transferred to me! As long as I let you use more of Zangetsu's power, it will be easier to control your soul!"
So that’s it…mixed together…
Kurosaki Ichigo seemed to understand.
He has seen both the transformation of the god of death and the transformation of the god of death.
The god of death after the transformation can control the power of the void, and the god of death can also control the power of the god of death. It seems that they are really mixed together and can transform into each other.
In other words, the power in his body has now been taken over by the power of the Hollow, so the guy in front of him, who is obviously a Hollow, can control Zangetsu and act unscrupulously.
"Your power has the upper hand...that means as long as I can kill you here, your power will be weakened. Then 'Uncle Zangetsu' can return to the center of my spiritual power and take control, right?"
?”
"Tsk, is it just you? Stop joking!"
Xu Bai smiled disdainfully.
If he knew what Kurosaki Ichigo was thinking, he would probably be even more disdainful.
Because after much thought, this kid still doesn't seem to understand who is who.
He has said countless times that he is Zangetsu, but no one believes him.
But this seems normal. After all, Kurosaki Ichigo always thinks that he is a 'reaper', and 'Zangetsu' is naturally a Zanpakutō.
If you think with this premise, you will get the same answer no matter how many times you do it.
Two powerful spiritual pressures rose in this space at the same time. Kurosaki Ichigo and Xushiro almost simultaneously raised their Zanpakutō to release their spiritual power.
"Swastika!"
Roar--
A roar came.
Seemingly affected by the explosion of two forces within his body, in reality Kurosaki Ichigo's body began to struggle and roar, becoming even crazier.
"This is!!"
Lisa Yakinmaru noticed the abnormality and temporarily stepped back and distanced herself.
"The virtualization...is finally about to begin."
Outside the barrier, Hirako Mako looked at the state of Kurosaki Ichigo and said in a deep voice.
At this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo is no longer just a mask on his face. A hole appears in his chest as if melting, and he is gradually developing in the direction of Hollow.
