Buzby waved his hand gently, and the spiritual pressure condensed on his fingertips was like a flaming blade, instantly splitting the ice wall in front of him.
However, what puzzled him was that this time the cracked frost did not collapse instantly like before, but immediately turned into mist and scattered, obscuring his vision.
"Tsk..."
Seeing this scene, Buzby smacked his lips slightly.
He did not expect that the captain, Toshiro Hitsugaya, could not only escape so decisively, but also resort to such shameless tactics.
"You really let me down, you brat! Do you think you can stop me with such trivial tricks!?"
As he spoke, he raised his foot with disdain and stepped down suddenly in the air.
Burning stomp!
This is a move performed by instantly gathering scorching heat on the soles of the feet. The terrifying heat can rise in an instant, evaporating the surrounding ice mist in just the blink of an eye.
Soon, the fog that filled the air completely dissipated, and Buzby looked at Toshiro Hitsugaya not far in front of him with some surprise.
"What? I thought you were planning to escape using this trick, but it turned out that you were so close. So what? During the time when the mist was released, did you think of any countermeasures against me?" Buzby sneered.
asked.
"No...you are indeed quite troublesome."
Hitsugaya Toshiro calmly wiped the blood from his mouth, "I have already laid the trap just now... As for whether it works, I won't know until I try it."
"oh?"
Buzby was slightly startled when he heard this, as if he felt something strange.
He lowered his head and looked at his feet, only to see six snowflake-like marks surrounding him in a hexagonal shape, seemingly forming some kind of formation, and the formation was condensing with chill, already binding towards his hands and feet.
enough to perceive clearly.
"What's this?"
"Liuyi Bingjie Formation!"
Hitsugaya Toshiro replied expressionlessly.
With these words, as if a switch was triggered, the frost in the formation shot up into the sky and instantly enveloped Buzby's entire body, forming an icicle.
"!!"
However, the next moment, Hitsugaya Toshiro's pupils shrank sharply.
boom--
Accompanied by a violent roar, flames burst out from the icicles. The formation that was originally enough to trap the captain was easily broken by the opponent!
"is that a lie……"
"This is what I should say to you!"
Buzby got out of the icicle and smiled contemptuously, "How many times do you want me to say this? Your bad ice is only enough to freeze one of my fingers! Or do you want to anger me? Let me
Use two fingers?”
As he spoke, his figure flashed in front of Hitsugaya Toshiro.
Reach out.
"Burning Fingers·2!"
Extremely scorching heat erupted from the index and middle fingers, and its power was more than twice as powerful as the flames Buzzby used with one finger before.
boom--
The moment Hitsugaya Toshiro was attacked, he subconsciously formed a wall of ice in front of him to defend himself.
However, before the flames touched the frost, a massive explosion occurred. The blazing flames swallowed up the surrounding buildings together, and raised a mushroom cloud that seemed to be able to annihilate everything.
Click——
When he came back to his senses, the Hyōrinmaru in Hitsugaya Toshiro's hand was broken in the fierce fire, and he fell to the ground with traces of anxiety all over his body.
"it's over."
Buzby put his hands in his pockets and looked down at the young man lying on the ground with a bored look on his face. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with this battle.
"You don't need to be so harsh when dealing with a captain who has lost his swastika, right? Buzby."
At this time, a slightly cold voice came.
"Didn't we make an agreement at the beginning? Whoever takes away the swastika of the captain will be executed."
"It's obvious that you came too late, Cangdu. I've been very merciful."
Buzby turned around unhappily and looked at Cangdu, who had arrived late, "This kid appeared in front of me by himself. You can't ask me not to do anything, right?"
"That's right, but let me do the final blow."
Aangdu calmly came to Toshiro Hitsugaya who was lying on the ground and asked lightly.
"up to you."
Buzby turned around boredly and prepared to leave.
He was originally unhappy because of Ishida Uryu's incident, and his opponent was not able to let him vent to this extent.
············
"Ah...it seems like someone's spiritual pressure has disappeared, right?"
Technology Development Bureau.
Niryuri seemed to feel something, and asked Ajin and others aside calmly.
"Yes...it's Captain Hitsugaya." Akon's forehead was covered with cold sweat, "Life or death is uncertain."
The reiatsu monitor can no longer detect Hitsugaya Toshiro's reiatsu. Although this does not mean that the opponent is definitely dead, it is at least too weak to be noticed. Being in this state on the battlefield is already different from
Dead people are no different.
"really……"
Niryuuri sighed slightly, "It seems that I am the only one who can fight without the swastika. Oh, no, there should be another Zaraki."
"Hey Hey hey--"
Just when he was lamenting the uselessness of the other captains, a harsh voice suddenly sounded from the communicator in his ear.
"It's so noisy."
"Ah, it's connected, it's connected! Great."
"Who are you?"
"Hello - it's me! Urahara! I have found...'the way to retrieve the swastika'."
"Oh? Really? It's such an unlucky time..."
Hearing this, Nirvana sighed slightly and showed an interesting expression.
"Tell me about it?"
Soon, Urahara Kisuke on the other side of the communicator quickly explained: "To be precise, I figured out the 'weakness in the Quincy's principle of taking away the Swastika', and then used this weakness to prevent them from taking away the Swastika, or even
Get back the swastika they took away."
"What's the meaning?"
"I'll tell you the rest in person."
As he spoke, a world-traveling door opened in the research institute.
Urahara Kisuke walked out of the room with a swaggering smile: "Hi, everyone from the Technology Development Bureau, long time no see!"
"###"
Nirvana's face was covered with black lines.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
"Of course I want to ask you to help solve the current problems of the other captains." Urahara Kisuke reached out and pressed his hat and replied with a chuckle.
"Oh? I can't help with this kind of thing."
Nirvana refused without mercy.
"No, you can help."
Kisuke Urahara smiled and pointed to the laboratory in the far corner, which was where Nirvana was in retreat for research. "Have you not already discovered the characteristics of the Quincy's 'shadows' and even been able to use them? As expected of you.
Captain Nirvana."
"You guy..." Nie Yuli frowned slightly when he heard this, not at all happy about being praised.
Because he felt as if he had been seen through by the man in front of him.
He has never mentioned to anyone that he has mastered the technique of manipulating the 'shadow' by the people of the Invisible Empire.
"Don't be so cold, can you help me?"
Urahara Kisuke chuckled, and at the same time he took out many button-like black discs from his pocket.
"This is the method I use to restrain the Quincy from taking away the means of swastika, the 'Shadow Invasion Medicine'."
"Oh? What's the principle?" Nirvana asked with interest.
"Actually, it's very simple. I saw the battle between the Arrancar and the Star Cross Knights in Hueco Mundo, and this power was not taken away when the Arrancars carried out the sword liberation."
Kisuke Urahara explained calmly, "So I was thinking...it is obviously the same technique to liberate the power of the soul. The sword liberation of the Arrancar and the Death God's Swastika are clearly the same ability. Why is there only the Death's Swastika?"
Will it be taken away?"
"I see..." Nirvana seemed to quickly understand the clues.
"That's right, it's not that the Quincy are not interested in the Arrancar's sword liberation, nor are they unable to take away their sword liberation, but they are unwilling to take it away."
Urahara Kisuke continued to answer with gloomy eyes, "The reason is very simple.
Why are Quincy completely and clearly hostile to Hollow?
Did it come from some kind of resentment, as the rumors say?
Hostility itself is something that arises from disagreements. It is impossible for an opponent whose will and thoughts are not in conflict to continue to hate each other.
There is only one reason why such strong hostility...can continue endlessly.
That is the most fundamental fear that will endanger one's own life..."
As he spoke, Urahara Kisuke sighed as if recalling the past.
He should have figured it out a long time ago. He should have understood this principle from what happened to Kurosaki Ichigo's mother, Kurosaki Masaki.
"For Quincy, the power of Hollows is equivalent to poison. Quincy... are a race that has no 'antibodies' against Hollows. As long as they are slightly contaminated with Hollows' power, their bloodline will be contaminated, not only their souls but also their souls will be contaminated."
The power will be weakened, and even the soul will eventually collapse and die... Therefore, they want to completely eradicate the existence of the void."
"So...is this your solution?"
Nirvana narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at the black pills in the other person's hand.
Yes, he could feel the virtual power from it.
In fact, as long as you understand the principle, it couldn't be easier to crack the Quincy's swastika ability. You only need to mix the power of Hollow into the body of the Death God. To put it simply... it is the Hollow transformation of the Death God.
"That's right, please help. Use your research on 'shadow' to send these pills to the captains through the shadow." Urahara Kisuke suggested.
"It's really troublesome."
Nirvana curled her lips slightly but did not refuse.
"Ah Jin, the sky is empty."
"clear."
Akin on the side quickly reacted.
Immediately lock the positions of each captain through Kidou and Tentekura, and transmit the sound through the air.
············
boom--
The seriously injured Matsumoto Rangiku fell heavily to the ground.
It was Aodu who came in front of Hitsugaya Toshiro and threw her down.
Seeing that the opponent was almost lifeless, Hitsugaya Toshiro's pupils shrank sharply as he lay on the ground unable to move.
"She is not far from here. I brought her here for you." As if seeing the surprise in Hitsugaya Toshiro's eyes, Aodu explained lightly, "She is your important vice-captain.
Right? Then we should die together."
As he spoke, he raised the claw blade in his hand, extremely indifferent.
"I am the Knights of the Star Cross, the Holy Letter 'I', the Blue City of Steel. We can live together, but we must die together... This is my purpose. Swastika - Daiguren Hyōrinmaru."
After the words fell, the wings of frost gathered behind Cangdu.
He seemed to be planning to use Hitsugaya Toshiro's own swastika to finish off the opponent.
"This is your swastika. Come to think of it, this must be the first time in your life that you have seen someone else use it? It's a very beautiful swastika... You were originally born with it, but from the moment it was taken away by me,
After you die, this swastika will still exist forever... I deeply regret this."
Everything seems to be over.
However, at this moment, a noisy voice suddenly sounded in Hitsugaya Toshiro's ear.
"Captains and vice-captains of the Gotei 13...big guys! I am Kisuke Urahara!
I think there are people here who are meeting for the first time and who know nothing about me, but... please allow me to introduce myself later..."
"There is no such person...an idiot." Someone complained silently in his heart.
"While communicating, I have sent a black pill to everyone through your shadow. Only people with Swastika will react to this pill.
Also, whether it is your hands, feet or even a knife, please touch this pill!
Starting from the point of contact, the pill can penetrate directly into the soul.
This is the way to ‘take away the ability of the swastika by a Quincy’.”
Urahara Kisuke did not explain the principle.
Because it's simply not necessary.
It doesn't matter whether the captains who absorbed the pills can complete the Hollow transformation in the end, as long as they absorb a little Hollow power, their swastika will inevitably be affected by the Hollow power.
Even if there is only a moment of 'hollowing', it will become a 'poison' that instantly breaks the balance and makes the swastika become the fear of the Quincy.
Listen to the voice echoing in your ears.
Hitsugaya Toshiro quietly stretched out his finger and pressed it on the pill to absorb the power.
Cangdu knew nothing about this, and when he came to him, he seemed ready to completely block the young man in front of him with ice.
However... the moment he mobilized his spiritual power, blood suddenly burst out from his back, and his frost-condensed wings instantly collapsed.
"what happened?"
He turned back in confusion, looked at the Frost Wings falling to the ground, frowned slightly, "What happened...?"
tread--
The movement in front of him made Cangdu turn his head warily.
Hitsugaya Toshiro, who had fallen to the ground, seemed to have the strength to stand up again due to the return of the swastika power, and the wings of frost gradually condensed behind him.
"..."
Cangdu took out the star badge with some confusion, "There is nothing abnormal about the badge, so why did the swastika begin to return to you gradually? What on earth did you... do?"
"Who knows?"
Hitsugaya Toshiro's tone was extremely cold, "Maybe... it's Hyōrinmaru who wants to come back to me, isn't it?"
As he spoke, he stepped forward, and the frost continued to spread along the ground towards Cangdu.
"Are you looking down on me?"
Seeing this scene, Cangdu's face suddenly turned cold.
He also slammed his feet on the ground. Although the strength of the swastika was passing away, it was still enough to offset the incoming ice vines.
