Chapter 42
"The situation is really bad. After the double collapse of body and soul, is there really any possibility of survival?"
In a secret cave, Shifengin Yoruichi looked at Ishida Uryuu who was bandaged like a mummy, with a solemn expression and a slightly suspicious tone.
As Urahara Kisuke's childhood sweetheart, and a fellow sibling who defected from the Soul Society, Shifengin Inu Yoruichi is one of Urahara Kisuke's most reliable contacts.
Ever since she learned about the Hollow Calamity, she was entrusted by Urahara Kisuke and rushed back to Soul Society early to prepare to convince some people about Ishida Uryu's arrest.
She had been paying attention, but she originally planned to do something through noble channels, but she didn't expect Ishida Uryu to be so tough.
Not only did he forcefully escape from prison, he also dared to punch the Gotei 13 head-on, and even killed Nirvana on the spot.
Nirvana is no stranger to Shifengin Yoruichi.
After she defected from Soul Society, this crazy and unscrupulous scientist often served as the black glove of the Gotei 13 team to deal with some problems.
Things that cannot be seen in person, for example, when the number of virtual souls in Hueco Mundo is low, they will kill the souls in Rukongai to balance the number of souls in Hueco Mundo and Soul Society, and Nirvana also relies on this black glove responsibility.
The convenience brought by it has caused countless people to disappear on his surgical test bed.
Therefore, Nirvana's reputation in Soul Society, especially in the eyes of those who know the inside story, such as Shifengyuan Yoruichi, is not enough to describe it.
As a melon-eater who didn't mind the excitement, Shifengin Yoruichi was very excited.
At the most critical moment, he bravely rescued Ishida Uryū from Captain Yamamoto.
She was also ready to fight with old man Yamamoto, but she didn't expect that Captain Yamamoto just watched and didn't even let anyone catch up immediately. It was a bit beyond her expectation, but no matter what, people are rescuers. came down, and then rushed to the safe house she had prepared before, but she did not expect that the trouble was still to come.
Ishida Uryū's injury was too serious.
As one of the five founding nobles of the Soul Society, Shifengin.
The head of the family, as well as the former captain of the second division, the former commander-in-chief of covert mobile, and the commander of the first division of the criminal army, Shifengin Yoruichi, have seen too many wounded people, and the injuries are so serious.
It was not the first time that she had seen this, but it was the first time that she had not died immediately after being injured to this extent!
A sacred voice came from the sky:"As long as I am still watching this world, then the probability of Ishida Uryu's survival is It is 100%, but as of this moment, Ishida Uryu has not given up the fight, so I will naturally not interfere in his fight at will.
"
Sifengin Yoruichi looked up at the sky with a slightly amused look.
As one of the five nobles in the Soul Society, the Sifengin family is no stranger to the Soul King.
Since the Soul King was suppressed, every family of the five nobles Just like Zhu Bajie divided his luggage, each of them divided up a part of the Soul King's inheritance.
Of course, they called it"keeping" and the Sifengyuan family kept the various weapons and equipment given by the Soul King, and Sifengyuan Yeyi.
She has been running to the armory since she was a child, and she is no stranger to the spirit king's aura.
Towards this mysterious and unpredictable audience, Si Fengyuan Yi's attitude is very subtle.
To say that he is the Spirit King, his aura is indeed a bit inconsistent, but to say it is not true, he can go back in time and is omniscient. For an existence of this level, in the three realms, only the Spirit King has the same suspicion. Object.
Shifengyuan Yoichi thought about it, and finally he was vaguely inclined to Aizen's idea. He felt that this mysterious existence might be the consciousness evolved from part of the Soul King's body.
After realizing this, Shifengyuan Yoruichi said. I won’t say it, but the thoughts in my heart are actually a little complicated, a little wary, but also a little lucky.
Ordinary Shinigami don’t know this, but Shifengin Yoruichi, one of the five nobles, knows very well that the Soul King’s body parts have become independent existences. , it is not uncommon in the history of Soul Society. Ukitake Jushiro of the Thirteenth Division has the existence evolved from one hand of the Soul King sealed in his body. Of course, it is not said to be a seal on the surface, but to be enshrined.
Although the existence called the One-Eyed Great God was derived from part of the Soul King's body, after evolving into an independent existence, it could not be said to be a true god. It also caused a great disturbance in the Soul Society back then, and was only eliminated by the Soul King. Sealed.
As a result of that disaster, some Shinto families in Soul Society still retain some special sacrificial props, such as the eight-level sword that suddenly appeared in the Thousand-Year Blood War.. The Eight Realm Sword is nominally a"sacrifice to gods" prop. It is completely useless to use this thing to kill people, but it comes with attributes such as divine power and special attack to restrain gods. It is particularly powerful when used to kill gods.
Said that the religious beliefs in the world of Death are really interesting. Sacrifice and killing are actually equivalent.
Ukitake Jushiro's family has paid a huge price for generations to seal the one-eyed god. Ukitake Jushiro. As the contemporary One-Eye God Jinchuuriki, he paid the price of having his internal organs completely eaten by the One-Eye God, and then the One-Eye God came in to maintain his life.
Even though he had captain-level strength, he was still made weak and sick, and he vomited blood every now and then.
Falling to the ground, but this is also Ukitake Jushiro's biggest trump card.
If he really wants to face some enemies that are difficult to defeat, as long as he is willing to sacrifice his own flesh and blood and soul, he can turn into the manifestation of the one-eyed god in the human world, giving The enemy brings endless surprises.
Of course, it goes without saying what the outcome will be.
This is where Shifengyuan Yoruichi's vigilance and luck come from. If the audience is really evolved from a part of the Soul King's body, then its mental state will be different. It must be doubtful, but if it is only at this level, it is still acceptable.
Mo Yu didn't care about Shifengyuan Yoruichi's attitude, he just stared at Ishida Uryu, and his hand kept on the mouse. The mouse cursor is already on the progress bar. If necessary, he will turn back time as soon as possible to ensure the survival of Ishida Uryu, but as of now, he has not done so.
Thanks to the fact that the three-dimensional audience's character interference has never been cut off, even when he was dying, the female in Ishida Uryu's heart continued to surge up, conveying to him the emotion of being a weakling, as if someone was whispering in his ear.
"It's time for you to give up" and"it's time to accept the reality of death.
" However, this constant influence makes Ishida Uryu's inner anger continue to burn, and the pure will driven by this anger is like an engine.
The power of the perfection art of purity is continuously operating.
In this state, even if Ishida Uryū's body and soul are half-stepped into death, when death really wants to take him away, Ishida Uryū will be subconsciously beaten crazily. The bruised and swollen face retreated temporarily, and after waiting for a while, he eagerly tried to take away Ishida Uryu, and then was subconsciously beaten by Ishida Uryu, and so on.
Ever since Bengyu understood Mo Yu's will, created the perfection technique of purity, and then built a fighter's power system around this perfection technique, apart from Kurosaki Ichigo, who is a natural loser, Ishida Uryū is going to The most in-depth one, even Fisher did not go as far as Uryū Ishida, because Fisher was mostly relying on his own capital as the Arrancar Daxu, and only made a fundamental breakthrough in the later period.
Mo Yu is also looking forward to what Uryū Ishida can achieve with his purity!
If Uryū Ishida can really rely on his purity to beat him to death crazily and bring himself back from the brink of death, his achievements will be quite limitless, and he can even serve as an important data source for Mo Yu to update his purity system.
On the other hand, Mo Yu is also waiting for possible reactions from the Shadow Empire!
Although the Quincy were hunted by the God of Death like lost dogs, they had to be said to be a lineage that had been inherited since the beginning of the world. They had some backbone in times of crisis and did not escape the sight of the Soul Society. Instead, he took the dark path under the lamplight and created a shadow empire in the shadow side of Soul Society, which has been lurking silently for thousands of years.
For thousands of years, although the Quincy has not been able to lurk out, they have never reduced their observation of Soul Society. To put it bluntly, the Quincy in the Shadow Empire may sometimes know more about what is happening in the Seireitei than Captain Yamamoto. This is also the reason why the Quincy was so powerful as soon as he appeared on the scene during the Thousand-Year Blood War Chapter.
Enduring the burning fire of hatred, and constantly thinking and researching during the millennium of long observation, the Quincy clan, which was almost wiped out by the God of Death a thousand years ago, almost wiped out the entire Serenity Palace a thousand years later. Overturned.
As the Quincy King, Yhwach, according to the time point in the original work, regained consciousness nine years ago, but he has not yet completely regained all his power. At this time, Yhwach should be silently observing Soul Society, and then control the Shadow Empire, quietly gathering strength for the final counterattack.
Yhwach should be aware of Uryū Ishida's commotion in Soul Society, and according to Mo Yu's speculation, Yhwach should take some action.
The basis for this speculation is not because of the feelings of the Quincy's compatriots, but because Yhwach is the son of the Spirit King, but his birth process was not smooth sailing. At the beginning, Yhwach's state of existence was even worse. It's weird. He can't see, hear, make sounds, or even move.
Although the original work described him as a"baby", in Mo Yu's view, Yhwach in that state was not so much a"baby" in the biological sense, but rather that he was perhaps closer to Bengyu at that time. The existence of an inhuman state.
But unlike Bengyu, who reads other people's subconscious and then gives them the power of perfection, Yhwach's power is even weirder.
He can give a part of himself to the person who touches him, so that the person who touches him can be healed and the pain is gone.
It disappears and the power increases, but after enjoying the completed state for a period of time, those who touch it will die one after another, and then their souls, experiences, emotions, strength, etc.
, will be absorbed by Yhwach.
It is impossible to know how many people's souls, lives, powers and wills Yhwach absorbed. He eventually grew into a"human" figure and was even revered as a god by believers.
But this growth process also left a flaw for Youhabach. If he stops sucking souls and lives, he will gradually decline until he returns to his most unconscious original posture. From this point of view, Mo Yu It is suspected that the existence of Yhwach may not be a real existence. It is just a gesture jointly constructed by the believers whose souls and lives have been absorbed by him. The words and deeds he shows are just the common will of those believers.
Such speculation is not without evidence. A thousand years ago, Captain Yamamoto sneak attacked and killed Yhwach, but it only killed his heartbeat, consciousness and strength, and did not really kill Yhwach. This kind of mercy, It's not like the style of Captain Yamamoto, the strongest sword demon. The only possibility is that he can't be killed.
Coincidentally, Urahara Kisuke once faced the same troubles. After he realized the harm caused by the Honyu, he also wanted to destroy it, but in the end he found that although he created the Honyu, he could not destroy it. It was destroyed and could only be sealed in the end.
From this point of view, it can be determined that Yhwach is essentially inhumane.
On the other hand, the completely different changes in Yhwach's temperament a thousand years ago and a thousand years later can also be understood as the fact that after being beaten back to the original state by Captain Yamamoto, The Quincy believers who rebuilt the existence of Yhwach with their faith, soul, and life all harbor hatred and hatred for the God of Death.
Therefore, Yhwach who reawakened after a thousand years also became ruthless, cruel and paranoid.
Indifference to life.
But these are just speculations at the moment. As for whether this is really the case, we can only make a conclusion after seeing Yhwach with our own eyes. But no matter what, if Yhwach wants to grow, even wants to live and maintain his intelligence and senses, It is necessary to continuously absorb the souls and lives of others, and the more talented and powerful these people are, the better the edible effect they will feed back to Yhwach.
And coincidentally, Ishida Uryu is strong enough!
This kind of strength does not refer to Ishida Uryu's current purity, but his talent as a Quincy.
The so-called sanctification means that the Quincy King Yhwach takes back the bloodline he gave to the Quincy.
For the hybrid Quincy whose bloodline is not pure enough, like Ishida Uryū's mother, there is basically only one way to die, and Ishida Ume The fact that Long has experienced the Holy Spirit without dying is enough to show the purity of his bloodline.
Of course, so does his father, but his father is smart enough to hide in the world and work as the director of a hospital.
He only exercises and practices silently, and basically does not use Annihilation in front of others.
The power of the master does not care about the ups and downs of the three realms at all.
Even in the Shadow Empire, there are not many bloodlines of Uryu Ishida's level. Moreover, Uryu Ishida, who made a big fuss in Soul Society and even had the record of killing a captain with his own hands, has a very high value for his name. There is no need to worry too much about being fooled. For these reasons, Mo Yu believes that Yuhabach will never miss the unique delicacy of Ishida Uryū. Even if it doesn't work, he will try it.
This is also the reason why when Mo Yu and Aizen communicated, they believed that Uryu Ishida's plot tool character could seduce the big boss in advance.
In addition to paying attention to Ishida Uryu, Mo Yu also has many perspectives from a high position, overlooking the surroundings. As long as the people of the Shadow Empire reveal any clues, he will be the first to discover them.
The result did not disappoint Mo Yu's expectations, or in other words, Yhwach's reaction was more decisive than he expected. Not long after, two mysterious people in white robes quietly approached Si Fengyuan Ye Yi The layout of the hiding place
"The Quincy of the Shadow Empire are here. You don't have to conflict with them. Just listen to what they say. The rest is up to you to decide!"
Mo Yu's voice rang in Si Fengyuan Ye Yi's ears. She looked surprised, but she didn't say anything. Then she welcomed the two mysterious people. After they came in, they immediately looked at Ishida Yu. Long seemed to be confirming his situation, and then said directly:
"Yoruichi Shifouin, handed Uryū Ishida to us, we have a way to save him!
Sifengyuan Yeyi said with a smile but not a smile:"It's not a problem to make friends. Anyway, I can't cure him. It's just that you two guys hide your head and show your tail. It really doesn't make people feel trustworthy. I really need to cure him." Uryū Ishida, then where should I find him? Could it be a private laboratory of nobles, or some more shady place?"
One of them said:"You don't need to know this, because Ishida Uryu is not from the same group as you, he belongs to us!"
The other person was more direct. In a flash, he appeared in front of Ishida Uryu's bed, ready to take him away. In the next moment, Shifengyuan Yoruichi had already held that person's wrist:
"Since you know my name, you must have heard of my Shunshen name... Hey!"
In Shifengyuan Ye's glance, the man suddenly dissolved and disappeared into the shadows. When he reappeared, he grabbed Ishida Uryu's body, and then escaped into the shadows again, and then disappeared together. The four Fengyuan Yeyi turned her head slightly, and the person who spoke had disappeared. She narrowed her eyes slightly and muttered:
"This is not a technology like Shunpo. I seem to have heard of related information somewhere."
Mo Yu spoke up at this time:"In long-form works, in order to set off the strong character of new characters, they usually show off in front of the old characters. I didn't expect you, Ye Yi, to be reduced to such a pedal-type character, but you There is no need to think about it, shadow jump is a new skill developed by the Quincy in desperate situations. It is not a movement method, but a space jump."
Sifengyuan Yeyi didn't care about the fact that he was being shown off. He just touched his chin and thought with a subtle expression:
"The appearance of a Quincy who had not been seen for a long time in Soul Society is no small matter. Moreover, the information collection channels and the efficiency of actions are so fast, which seems to indicate that the traces of these Quincy are not too far away."
When Shifouin Yoruichi was the captain of the Gotei 10th Team, she was responsible for intelligence work and secret execution work. Her thinking ability is no less than Urahara Kisuke in some aspects. Just from this The appearance of the two Quincy deduced some relevant information.
Mo Yu didn't pay attention to this. As early as the appearance of the two Quincy, Mo Yu had set a perspective on them. As long as they didn't die, he would return to the world. The Shadow Empire is a huge victory for Mo Yu.
As long as the map lights up, he can operate it!
Under Mo Yu's observation
, a huge ice palace stood majestically in the dark semicircular plane. The star cross with a slightly arc-shaped end was the most conspicuous totem of this ice palace..
The two Quincy, carrying the dying Ishida Uryu, walked for a long time in the Ice Palace before arriving at a majestic palace.
Only the throne was so empty. The conspicuous Yhwach, wearing a scarlet cloak, long hair, a sinister face, and a mustache, sat on the throne, looking down coldly.
He said nothing, just stared at the two men. The Quincy placed Uryū Ishida on the ground. Although he was dying and his body and soul were on the verge of destruction, his majestic fighting spirit was still burning like a flame, stubbornly and stubbornly beating death.
Based on Yhwach's experience, when he saw Uryū Ishida in such a state, he couldn't help but show a hint of appreciation on his cold face, and he couldn't help but say:
"This kid is really awesome!"
Such an evaluation is not made casually by Yhwach. After devouring souls and lives for a long time, he has gradually become able to read the souls of others. And Ishida Uryu's current state, in the eyes of Yhwach, is nothing but strength. , there is no other way to describe it!
But Yhwach’s eyes did not linger on Ishida Uryu, but he raised his head slightly, looked at the dark place not far away, and whispered:
"Who are you who came with Uryū Ishida?"
A moment later, a sacred voice fell from the sky:
"Who do you think I am?"
Yhwach did not answer, but was silent for a long time.
Mo Yu, who was sitting in front of the computer, looked at the screen, his eyes pointed at himself, as if Yhwach was looking at him, and he did not doubt that he had discovered him. The perspective of observing the world, because he has long been mentally prepared,
Bengyu can understand Mo Yu's thoughts, this fact shows that in the world bubble of Death, things related to the Spirit King can still have some influence on him. Those who interacted further were not like others who could only accept interference unilaterally without being able to detect where the interference came from.
After realizing this, Mo Yu actually used Bengyu to do some experiments, such as letting others interact with each other. Bengyu reversely interferes with reality, or breaks through the limitations of the world bubble, interfering with the Silver Sea, and the results are obvious.
Even if there is further interaction, the extent is destined to be limited to the Death World Bubble, just like now. Although Yhwach was aware of Mo Yu's perspective on the world, he secretly tried his best to figure out where that perspective came from.
In Yhwach's opinion, this line of sight seemed to appear out of thin air without any source. If it exists, it can maintain its own independence and sustainability, which is very mysterious.
