Even in his current state of spiritual terror, Kenpachi Zaraki still needs to suppress some of his strength before fighting Aldebaran.
"No, if you fight me like this, I'm not fighting anymore."
Aldebaran said firmly.
"Troublesome! Fine, whatever you wish for."
As soon as Kenpachi Zaraki finished speaking, Aldebaran and the others saw him suddenly fall to the ground.
"Shall we begin now?"
The voice came from beside Kenpachi Zaraki, making Aldebaran's expression extremely solemn. The unseen Kenpachi Zaraki put even more pressure on him.
"and many more."
"what happened again?"
Kenpachi Zaraki's voice sounded somewhat impatient.
Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Yi Shuihan walked up to Aldebaran, brought his index and middle fingers together, wiped Aldebaran's eyes, and muttered...
"Open your Yin-Yang Eyes!"
Aldebaran felt a cool sensation in his eyes, and nothing more.
"You should be able to see him now!"
Following Yi Shuihan's gaze, Aldebaran saw Kenpachi Zaraki's spirit form, and his mouth dropped open in astonishment.
"I...I can see him!"
"what?"
"Aldebaran, you're not kidding, are you?! You said you can see him, are you referring to the real Shinigami?"
"Yes, that's him."
Aldebaran's affirmative answer surprised Aiolia and the others, as well as the Shinigami, who looked at Yi Shuihan in astonishment. With just a little thought, they understood that it was Yi Shuihan's actions just now that allowed Aldebaran to see the spirit.
"Brother Yi, if you have this ability, why didn't you use it before?"
Aiolia looked at Yi Shuihan with a hint of resentment.
"I can see the Hollows, so what's the point of using them? As for you guys, I think it's better that you can't see them. The Hollows aren't good-looking, and you'll regret it if you actually see them."
The answer was so matter-of-fact, without the slightest hint of guilt.
"What a cunning guy."
Everyone was thinking the same thing, even Aldebaran felt something was off.
"Are you still going to fight? I only temporarily gave Aldebaran the ability to see souls, and it only lasts for 3 hours. If you don't hurry, I'll have to put in a lot of effort to make him see them again."
"It takes a lot of effort? That's a lot of effort, too."
Everyone was helpless, feeling that Yi Shuihan was just joking around.
"Brother Yi, could you let us see it like Aldebaran?"
If they could see both sides fighting, Aiolia and the others wouldn't be content just watching Aldebaran fight randomly in one place.
"Go ask that uncle for help, he'll definitely have a solution!"
Yi Shuihan pointed at Urahara Kisuke and said.
Urahara Kisuke:......
"Was it just a random pointing, or does he know something?"
As Kisuke Urahara was thinking to himself, he saw Aiolia jogging over and looking at him.
"I do have a way to expel your souls from your bodies, but are you sure you want to do that?"
Can it be restored?
"can."
"Then come on!"
Kisuke Urahara took out a stamp and stamped it on Aiolia and the others one by one, and then they all became spirits.
"So, there really is no causal chain?"
Kisuke Urahara gazed at the souls of Aiolia and the others, deep in thought. This wasn't the first time he'd witnessed such a phenomenon; he'd seen it many times since descending into this world. This phenomenon completely defied their understanding, and they couldn't find the reason.
Finally, Kisuke Urahara himself offered a guess, which was that it was due to the different relationships in this world.
This guess is naturally the correct answer. In their original world, the reason why there is a causal chain is simply because its existence is justified. The existence of the causal chain affects the birth of Hollows and Shinigami to a certain extent. As long as the causal chain is not broken, a person will not die. After death, the causal chain breaks. If a person is empty, the discount of the chain will become hollow and become a Hollow. If a person who has not died forcibly cuts the causal chain, there are only two possible outcomes: becoming a Hollow or a Shinigami.
In this world, neither death nor Hollows can be born, and the causal chain has no reason to exist. Human life and death are not determined by the causal chain, but are controlled by Hades.
"Is this what it feels like to have a soul? How amazing."
"I feel a little weak!"
Aiolia and the others are, after all, only Saints with the Sixth Sense. Their strength lies mainly in their physical bodies, and their souls are not particularly powerful. It is only when they reach the Seventh Sense that they are involved in the soul. Therefore, it is inevitable that they feel that they are not as strong as they are in their bodies.
After all, they are Saint Seiya warriors, and Aiolia and the others have souls that are stronger than those of ordinary people. Among them, Deathmask's soul seems to be very active, which is probably related to his constellation, since his special moves are all things like Sekishiki.
"Aldebaran, do you need a weapon? The other guy has a knife!"
"No need, the Saint's fist is the Saint's most powerful weapon."
"But I always feel like I'm at a disadvantage. Besides, not all Saints are without weapons. Sagittarius, for example, has arrows."
"Even if I want a weapon, will you give it to me?"
""
Chapter 742, The Powerful Kenpachi Zaraki
When Aiolia mentioned weapons, the others also felt that it was somewhat inappropriate for Aldebaran to use only his hands and Zanpakuto, Kenpachi Zaraki.
However, since Zanpakuto is an entity that is one with the Shinigami, it is essentially a part of the Shinigami. Therefore, it is only natural for Shinigami to fight with Zanpakuto. Zanpakuto is equivalent to the Shinigami's own fists and feet.
Kenpachi Zaraki's Zanpakuto looks somewhat damaged, and its appearance is much worse than that of other Shinigami's Zanpakuto. However, its hardness far exceeds that of ordinary blades. Yi Shuihan guessed that the hardness of this sword should be comparable to that of a Gold Cloth.
It's impossible to get Kenpachi Zaraki to give up fighting with his Zanpakuto. What's the point of fighting if he doesn't have a Zanpakuto? Kenpachi wouldn't be excited fighting with his fists. Why? Because it's not exciting enough.
"Tell me the weapon you want, and I'll have someone find it for you."
Kenpachi Zaraki, unwilling to take advantage, said...
"no need."
Aldebaran shook his head again. It wasn't that he was being pretentious, but rather that he had never practiced with weapons, and that taking them might actually make him feel restricted.
Kenpachi Zaraki frowned slightly, seeing the seriousness in Aldebaran's eyes. He didn't try to persuade him further, but he was somewhat disappointed, feeling that this battle wouldn't satisfy him.
The battle would not take place in a conference room, but rather in a dedicated training ground.
The training ground isn't far; it's just a few minutes' walk from the conference room through two doors and walls.
"It's about to begin."
Aiolia and the others watched the battlefield with tension. Compared to the composure of the Grim Reaper's side, they appeared more nervous.
"Come on! Fire here!"
Kenpachi Zaraki pointed to his heart, his face contorted with madness, releasing his spiritual pressure, making Aldebaran feel as if he were suddenly burdened with a heavy weight.
Knowing he was at a disadvantage, Aldebaran immediately unleashed his cosmos. His still-unstable sixth sense cosmos shone brightly, and one could vaguely see a giant golden bull roaring to the sky.
"The raging bulls charge."
With a loud shout, Aldebaran stomped his feet hard on the ground, creating cracks in the surface. But this was only the beginning.
Like a charging bull, Aldebaran used his hands as horns and rammed his entire body into Kenpachi Zaraki.
The principle behind this move is simple: concentrate your inner energy in your hands and feet, and use speed and impact to inflict massive damage on the enemy.
Among the prospective Gold Saints, even Saga and his allies dared not underestimate this move and could only counter it with their own special techniques.
Kenpachi Zaraki, the target of the attack, was not surprised but delighted to see Aldebaran charging towards him. This was exactly the effect he wanted; a head-on collision was the most exciting for him. So even though he could have easily dodged the attack using Shunpo, he still chose to confront it head-on.
He brandished his sword, but his target wasn't any of Aldebaran's weak points; instead, it was his fists, which held most of his cosmos power.
The clash between the sword and the hand produced a tremendous roar. Aldebaran's face turned red, but his fist still firmly blocked the sword, and he pushed towards Kenpachi Zaraki.
"He actually blocked Kenpachi's Zanpakuto with his fist. What an amazing little guy."
Kyoraku Shunsui said with some surprise.
"Captain Zaraki has been hiding his true abilities."
Kuchiki Byakuya, who always maintained a cold expression, said calmly.
"Aldebaran, do your best!"
Aiolia shouted loudly, seemingly oblivious to the worried face of Aiolos beside him.
"Taurus's signature move is the giant horn, right? I wonder if Aldebaran can use it."
Every Saint has their own signature skill, which is a combat technique passed down from generation to generation of Saints. Everyone who inherits the Saint Cloth can learn it from the Saint Cloth. However, some Saints with extremely high talent can learn their own combat techniques from the constellations, even without resonating with the Saint Cloth.
Kenpachi Zaraki used one hand, while Aldebaran used both hands. In addition, Kenpachi Zaraki did not use his full strength, so unsurprisingly, his sword was deflected, and Aldebaran's fist struck Kenpachi Zaraki's heart without any obstruction.
"Not bad punch, but not enough!"
Aldebaran hadn't even had time to feel joy when he was startled by Kenpachi Zaraki's words, only vaguely sensing a blade of light rapidly approaching.
Before he could even think about why Kenpachi Zaraki, who had been hit head-on, was able to counterattack so quickly, he gathered the power of his cosmos and amplified the most dangerous spot in his body.
"Pfft!"
The knife sliced across Aldebaran's shoulder without any resistance, cutting down to his chest and leaving a long, thin wound from which blood began to seep out.
The small universe's defense did have some effect; otherwise, the wound wouldn't have been just like this.
Aldebaran appeared to be seriously injured, but everyone present knew that it was only a minor injury that wouldn't even affect his fighting ability.
Even a minor injury affected Aldebaran's rationality, and his anger began to burn, causing him to unleash his cosmos even more fiercely, reaching an even greater level of power than before.
Seeing this, Kenpachi Zaraki's eyes showed a satisfied look. He would have been disappointed if Aldebaran had become cowardly and avoided him because of his injury. This reaction was exactly what he wanted.
"The fighting continues."
The arm is raised and then brought down hard, without any fancy moves. The landing point is clearly visible. It's simple and direct, yet it gives people a thrilling feeling.
Aldebaran merely shifted his body slightly backward, able to feel the sharp edge of the blade touching his skin, but ultimately he was not injured again, only his clothes were scratched.
Raising his hands, he didn't attack, but instead waved them in front of him, creating an invisible barrier.
"Huh!?"
Kenpachi Zaraki's Zanpakuto struck the air barrier in front of Aldebaran, but failed to break through it.
"It's here, Aldebaran's Iai Defense. This move isn't so easy to break."
This is generally true. Even if someone is much stronger than Aldebaran, it would take a lot of effort to break through his defenses. Unfortunately for Aldebaran, he was facing Kenpachi Zaraki, a being whose strength far exceeded his own.
On the third attempt, the defense was completely breached, forcing Aldebaran to dodge.
Chapter 743, Tearing Off the Blindfold
"Use your other tricks! I'll give you time to show your full strength."
Kenpachi Zaraki did not press his advantage. If he wanted to, he could have used the opening after breaking through Aldebaran's defense to leave some wounds on Aldebaran and expand his advantage.
Aldebaran gave Kenpachi Zaraki a deep look, and at that moment he felt a bit of goodwill towards him. However, Aldebaran was unaware that Kenpachi was only doing this to make him feel better.
"call"
Aldebaran exhaled a deep breath and calmed down, but beneath this calm lay a volcano about to erupt.
"Now that I've broken through to the late stage of the Sixth Sense, I should be able to use that move with some difficulty. Let's see just how powerful the Taurus's ultimate technique is!"
Aldebaran crossed his arms in a huddled position, which looked rather strange at that moment.
"I've never seen that move before! Is it Aldebaran's hidden secret technique?"
"With this stance, could Aldebaran already unleash that move?"
The first sentence was spoken by Aiolia, and the second sentence was spoken by Mu. Mu of Aries is slightly different from other Saints. The current Pope is his teacher and also his clansman, allowing him to have prior knowledge of the Gold Saints, including the various Gold Saint techniques.
"Giant horn!"
A massive shockwave erupted from Aldebaran's wrist, shimmering with golden light.
