Bang! Bang! Bang! At the same time, the result was also determined on the other side.
All of their moves and defenses were broken, and Oni Yancheng Kenpachi fell to the ground, his life hanging in the balance, his breath faint.
Shinji Hirako, whose face now appeared as a blurred mask, was covered in bloodstains. Kisuke Urahara's clothes were torn, his arms were exposed, and blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth. Rihan Nura was forced into the Oni-Tengu state, and he and Kurotabo were both exhausted.
That's the situation for the actors; next, let's talk about their situation.
Joe Higashi was breathing heavily, his chest heaving. Okada Izo knelt on the ground in a sorry state, leaning on his sword and spitting blood. Hattori Hanzo, who was actually the weakest, remained calm and composed, standing out from the crowd with his arms crossed. The only flaw was the damage to his armor.
In fact, apart from Hattori Hanzo, the rest of them actually took the hits.
Higashi Joe truly blocked the attack, and Okada Izo was genuinely embarrassed.
The reason why Ghost Reaper's ultimate move is so powerful is not because of this.
Aizen only managed to injure Rihan Nura and Kisuke Urahara by expending all of Haku's remaining energy and two reserves in one go. Even then, it was only at the soul level, and their injuries were recovering very slowly.
This is essentially a different way of saying it.
At the beginning of the Bleach storyline, Gin Ichimaru and Hitsugaya clashed. Would Gin Ichimaru dare to take Hitsugaya's full-force attack head-on? Not to mention if the opponent's special move was several times more powerful, it would be remarkable if he survived; escaping unscathed would be impossible.
Therefore, this sudden outburst from Ghost White startled Kisuke Urahara and the others.
But in the next second, Gui Shi Bai's eyes suddenly became glazed, his body trembled and his steps faltered. With a clang, he leaned on the white banner to keep himself from falling.
Seemingly at his limit, Gui Shi Bai muttered resentfully, "Is this all I can do? I'm still not strong enough."
Everyone remained silent.
If that's not strong enough, then what are they?
"white!"
Seeing that Ghost White was about to lose his balance, Ghost Black immediately...
Having broken free from Aizen's stalemate, he quickly approached Shiro, his face filled with worry.
Bai, are you alright?
"Quickly, finish the soul-stealing!"
Pushing away the support of the Black Demon, the White Demon spoke weakly.
The black-haired ghost, whose eye was covered by bangs, was speechless for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look at everyone. At his brother's request, his fighting spirit transformed into a murderous aura.
A low, dark, hoarse voice slowly rose into the air.
"The ghostly messenger seeks the soul, the fickle one snatches the spirit!"
Chapter 276 Three-Person Q&A 39/39
The ominous aura made even a yokai like Nura Rihan frown and feel uneasy.
With a step forward, the brother-obsessed Ghost Messenger unleashed astonishing speed, swinging his scythe and transforming into a killing machine as he attacked the crowd.
The first person to be attacked was Hirako Shinji.
Ahem, Aizen would never admit that he was settling a personal score while on duty.
At the very beginning of the story, a certain guy verbally took advantage of Aizen. Bang! Bang! Bang! Even without releasing his Zanpakuto, Hirako Shinji was no match for the rampaging Kuro Mujou simply by using Hollowfication. In addition, due to his injuries, he was immediately overwhelmed, and the battle was fraught with danger.
"That's truly ferocious."
"Hado No. 6: Thunder Roar Cannon".
Gui Shi Hei nimbly dodged to the side, but in doing so, he also created distance between himself and Hirako Shinji once again.
Having finally caught her breath, Hirako Shinji immediately heard Urahara Kisuke's nonchalant voice: "How pathetic, Hirako-san."
"Tch, mind your own business."
Shinji Hirako, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, rolled his eyes.
He wasn't just being stubborn.
Forget about the d-solution, he hasn't even used the initial solution yet.
However, due to his own stance and the fact that he doesn't distinguish between friend and foe with his Zanpakuto, he has never been able to unleash his true power.
"What a formidable opponent."
After his breathing calmed down a bit, Dongzhang immediately...
To intervene in this battle.
A combination of various fierce fist techniques and incredibly destructive whirlwinds created a menacing stalemate with the Black Demon. With the assistance of Okada Izou and Hirako Mako, they achieved a three-on-one victory.
However, since Hirako Shinji could not freely unleash his Zanpakuto, and Okada Izo's condition was unstable, the battle, with Joe Higashi as the main force, only resulted in a stalemate with the Black Reaper.
No one else emphasized that Hattori Hanzo or Aizen should continue to act.
In any case, the group was not a single force, and no one had the right to command anyone else. The brief alliance between the three was merely a spontaneous act.
Just like Kisuke Urahara himself was sitting on the sidelines watching the show.
"Hado no Shiroi Rai" (Four White Lightning).
Suddenly, Kisuke Urahara unexpectedly unleashed a Kido (demon arts technique) finger towards the sky.
Lightning bolts shot straight up.
Devimon, who was watching the show from the sky, felt a chill and reacted quickly by using space-time travel to dodge.
"Oh, what a pity."
Urahara, who had come out of nowhere, shook his head regretfully.
""
Devimon.
Who knows how terrified Devimon was in that instant?
Although as long as the white lightning doesn't hit his vital points, the slender white lightning will at most cause a penetrating wound, which is not fatal, it is still very frightening to suddenly strike like this.
With this thought in mind, Devimon silently continued to raise his position.
Whether or not he can still watch the show is not important; he just needs to wait for Aizen's arrangements.
Having missed his first attack, Kisuke Urahara abandoned his plan to use Shunpo to catch up.
“Ryoma-san, according to what Koiban-san said, there is something you should know.”
"We're all comrades in the united front now, so could we share some intelligence?"
While the three were still holding off the Black Reaper, Kisuke Urahara asked Aizen with a smile.
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes turned to him.
Aizen sneered inwardly, but outwardly pretended to ponder for a moment before saying, "Normally, matters concerning us should be kept secret, but since you've all gotten involved, I can make an exception and answer some of your questions."
Kisuke Urahara and Rihan Nura's eyes lit up slightly.
They weren't entirely sure if Aizen could reveal enough information, and Urahara Kisuke's questioning was merely a further attempt.
Is that demon in the sky really the demon from Western legends?
"Indeed, but he's not very strong; he's the lowest-ranking demon besides the young demons."
"Then what is his purpose in leading us to become enemies with these black and white ghost messengers?"
"We don't know that at the moment either."
"Um.
"Then why do you say these two demon messengers are imposters? What do they have to do with hell?"
"Simply put, ordinary monsters absorb human fear, but they absorb human faith."
Since these divine positions did not originally exist in Japanese mythology, but they were real, these beliefs coincidentally fell upon them, and they gained some of the abilities of those gods.
So, they originally had nothing to do with hell, but it seems they have now taken over Japan's hell.
Are there any negative consequences?
"This is why we have returned to the human world this time."
For them to truly transform into gods, they must possess more faith. If they follow the normal pace, they might not attract the attention of Valhalla. At most, they will have to face the wrath of the gods themselves from Chinese mythology.
But now they clearly have different ideas. In order to make Hell more readily filled with faith, places like Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, which are essentially places that grant humans a second life, are obstacles.
Upon hearing this, Rihan Nura and Kisuke Urahara realized why they had targeted the Shinigami without hesitation.
This is similar to the struggle for faith among gods in some myths and legends.
Clearly, in the eyes of these demonic false gods, the God of Death is someone who is useless even if one possesses faith in him.
"Then why doesn't Death gain faith?"
Urahara Kisuke immediately.
A question was raised.
Aizen, who had anticipated this, chuckled and silenced the other party with a few counter-questions.
Is Death a separate entity?
"Of all the mythologies from abroad, besides Buddhism and Chinese mythology, are there any others that truly influenced the Japanese people long ago?"
Does Buddhism and Chinese mythology have a god of death?
"Finally, the Spirit King was originally a kind of god, so how could the God of Death, who was born from him, absorb faith and transform into a true god?"
Although Kisuke Urahara desperately wanted to ask how Aizen knew so much about Shinigami, he couldn't refute Aizen's words, and they struck a nerve.
He had met the Spirit King.
It was precisely because he had seen it that he made certain decisions; in any case, the Spirit King was indeed the fundamental reason that prevented the God of Death from becoming a god.
From the very beginning, the limits of death were predetermined.
Urahara Kisuke remained silent for a moment, then Nura Rihan pressed on, "Then why did they also see me as a target for soul-snatching?"
"this"
Aizen frowned slightly, clearly puzzled by the question.
Seeing this, Nura Rihan was somewhat disappointed but also felt it was normal; even if the other party knew more than him, it didn't mean they were omniscient or omnipotent.
At this moment, Gui Shi Bai, who had regained some strength, suddenly spoke up: "Gou Hun, it's not a bad thing for you. The Underworld is short-staffed, and many positions are temporarily vacant."
"While expanding the management of Hell, we also need to increase manpower. Finding suitable ghost messengers among the monsters is also one of our tasks."
"Is this so"
Rihan Nura thought for a moment, then shook his head and refused, saying, "But I'm sorry, I have no interest in that, and no one in our Nura Clan would be interested either."
"Phew, with your abilities, you're at least qualified for a position like a judge or prefect. In a hundred or a century, you'll be able to further shed your demon form."
"Not interested."
Also, I'm a half-demon!
Um, there were only two chapters yesterday. This one was forgotten to be uploaded last night, okay? I won't admit that I accidentally fell asleep while putting in eye drops when I was writing 160 words.
Chapter 277 The Root Cause of the Appearance of Heroic Spirits (Part 1/3)
Although he understood why the other party wanted to harm him, Nura Rihan's refusal was very firm.
It's not because I'm afraid or worried about "Sakamoto Ryoma"
The potential danger he spoke of from the true gods wasn't the real issue; it was his pride as the lord of demons and monsters! Submitting to anyone was impossible! The Nura Clan wasn't some evil yokai organization, but that didn't change Nura Rihan's status as the Second Captain-General! "Is that so? Then I hope you won't regret it."
Ghost Messenger Haku gave Nura Rihan a deep look, whose dismissive smile was full of disdain.
When Gui Shi Bai uttered those words, it meant that his confidence in this mission was no longer so high.
Seeing that the Ghost Messenger Shiro was in poor condition, Nura Rihan and Urahara Kisuke hesitated for a moment but still did not make a move.
In any case, the power dynamics among the people present were quite chaotic.
Kurotabo of the Nura Clan, Rihan of the Nura Clan.
Joe Higashi, Kenpachi Oni-no-Kage.
Urahara store Urahara Kisuke.
Hirako Shinji of the Visored Army.
