A life as a god of death starting from Hueco Mundo
Chapter 291 The Collision between Present and Future
“And there is not too much power returning?”
In the main hall of the Soul King Palace, Yhwach discovered that only a few souls had returned to his body. These were the souls of the Quincies scattered in the Soul King Palace. The souls of Ishida Uryu’s father and grandfather, whom he had threatened before, did not return to his body.
Having said that, Ichigo Kurosaki can actually be considered a half-blood Quincy.
But when Yhwach launched the Divination, he never considered plundering Ichigo’s soul.
There’s no way, the power in Ichigo’s body is too complex.
The power of the Quincy only accounts for a small part of it. It is impossible to take Ichigo’s soul with this little power, not to mention that there are fragments of the Soul King in his body.
“Did you do it?”
Yhwach looked at Xia Mu in front of him and praised: “What an amazing method.”
“But do you think you can defeat me by preventing me from recovering my power?”
“The return of those souls to my body is just a side effect of my early awakening. But even if these things didn’t happen, the fact that I’m awake now and the power in my body are enough to overturn the world and defeat all my opponents.”
“Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and Hyoshubu Ichibei, both of whom were defeated by me. Although you bear the name of Kenpachi and are the most powerful swordsman among the Gotei 13, you will now follow in their footsteps. You will only have one choice: defeat and death.”
As he spoke, Youhabach waved his arm casually.
The space in front of Xia Mu was torn apart.
This was a retaliatory strike against an attack Natsuki had launched against him during his slumber.
Xia Mu’s previous slash tore the space apart and landed on his body for a time. If he had not been awakened from his sleep at the critical moment and used his powerful strength to block Xia Mu’s slash, Xia Mu’s slash might have really caused him serious damage.
He recognized Xia Mu’s strength, so he responded to Xia Mu with a powerful attack.
Xia Mu’s expression remained unchanged and he raised the knife in his hand.
The torn space healed again.
“What a great method.” Yhwach continued to praise.
“However, under my eyes, I can see all your actions in advance.”
“I’ve seen it!”
What he sees with his eyes is the future.
You can rewrite the future with just a thought.
More space cracks appeared around Xia Mu’s body at the same time. They contained terrifying devouring power, trying to tear Xia Mu into pieces.
Xia Mu also had the same idea.
These space cracks also healed one by one.
“Sure enough, you also have extremely powerful human strength. Even I cannot see through your entire future, because your existence is a variable, so that your future is changing all the time.” Yhwach, who woke up from his sleep, talked a lot of nonsense.
Maybe it’s because he has now devoured the Spirit King and fulfilled his long-cherished wish since birth.
His power is also extremely strong.
He believed that he no longer had any rivals or enemies in this world.
Xia Mu was the last strong man who fought against him, and he was also the only death god he recognized as being able to bring him some pleasure.
So, when facing this final opponent, he didn’t mind chatting with Xia Mu.
After he finished speaking, Yhwach’s tone suddenly changed.
“But even if I can’t see your entire future, it doesn’t matter.”
“Under my overwhelming power, all stories will have the same ending!”
The Quincy Cross hanging at his waist was pulled out by Yhwach.
He swung his sword, and a vast amount of spiritual energy gushed out, turning into a long river that swallowed up Xia Mu’s body.
“I don’t need any skills at all. After inheriting all of my father’s power, I can now shake the three realms and destroy this world with just a wave of my hand.”
“Do you think you can stop me by sealing off the Soul King Palace and preventing me from retrieving souls?”
Looking at Xia Mu who was swallowed by the spirit particles, a hint of disdain appeared on Youhabach’s lips.
A dark mist filled with a smell of decay suddenly gushed out from the azure spirit particles, corroding them in an instant.
The attack launched by Youhabach on Natsuki by controlling the spirit particles was neutralized by Natsuki using the power of hell.
The power of darkness filled Xia Mu’s body. He met Yuhabach’s gaze and said in a deep voice, “What a coincidence! That’s what I think!”
“Then you can die!”
Yhwach didn’t say much.
Although the power that Xia Mu possessed at the moment surprised him a little.
It’s not surprising that the god of death has the power of the void, but as a living person, it is still amazing to control the power of hell.
But whether it is the power of Hollow or the power of Hell, they will be defeated in front of the power of the Spirit King that he currently possesses.
This is the most powerful force in this world.
It also laid the foundation for the current magnificent power of the Three Realms.
The power of the Spirit King.
This power of creation originally belonged to his father, the Spirit King.
But now, after he devoured his father, the Spirit King, he has inherited this magnificent power in its entirety. And because he himself possesses powerful strength, the combination of the two powers makes him believe that he has surpassed his father.
At the very least, being murdered by the god of death, cut into a human stick, and passively sealed in the Palace of the Spirit King, such an ending could not be his.
He will rule the world as a true king.
In previous battles with Yhwach, he liked to use the Holy Arrow, and he had mastered many ways to use it.
Small Holy Extermination Arrow, Medium Holy Extermination Arrow, Large Holy Extermination Arrow, Great Holy Bow, etc. In fact, there is not much difference between these moves. It’s just that the number of spirit particles condensed in the Holy Extermination Arrow is different. But after fighting with Ichibei Hyoshubu, after he “opened” his eyes and his strength recovered to its peak, he no longer disdained to use such a low-level method as the Holy Extermination Arrow.
His omniscience and omnipotence allow him to attack his enemies at the level of cause and effect and fate, kill them, and even plunder their abilities.
At this moment, when facing Natsuki, Yhwach did not use any means such as the Holy Arrow.
This is actually the second time that Yhwach has fought against Natsuki.
The first time was, of course, in Soul Society.
Before fighting with Captain Yamamoto, Yhwach had been entangled with Natsuki for a long time.
In that battle, he used various sacred arrows.
During the battle, Xia Mu also showed an ability to manipulate spirit particles that was no less than that of a Quincy.
And now, in this second battle, neither side used the methods they had used before. Instead, they used methods that had never been used before.
With his omniscience and omnipotence, Youhabach constantly peeks into Natsuki’s future, and then affects Natsuki’s present by interfering with the future.
This is a method of confusing cause and effect.
Natsuki overwrites and resets the future rewritten by Youhabach by modifying the past and present.
Within a short period of time.
The two of them have fought in secret countless times.
Compared to the visible attacks, this kind of attack is more bizarre and more terrifying. When facing Captain Yamamoto, Youhabach did not use such means, because at that time, he had not opened his eyes, so he used despicable means to defeat Captain Yamamoto.
But it was not the case when facing Hyōshūbe Ichibei. As he opened his eyes.
He no longer bothered to use such means.
Even a strong man like Hyoshubu Ichibei was defeated in one encounter because of his omniscience and omnipotence.
This is him, this is the power of omniscience and omnipotence.
However, Natsuki did not collapse directly under his ability. Instead, he reversed the outcome of defeat many times. This alone was enough to make Youhabach look up to Natsuki.
“Is this your true ability?”
“Rewrite the current ability!”
During the fight between Youhabach and Natsuki, he also gained some insight into the strengths and weaknesses of Natsuki’s abilities.
“Compared to Hyoshubu Ichibei, your ability is undoubtedly more powerful, but unfortunately, you are still inferior to mine!”
As he spoke, he swung his knife.
An attack more terrifying than the spirit particle attack broke out.
This comes from the power of the Spirit King.
The Spirit King, as the name suggests, is the king of the spirit world.
The power of the Spirit King can make all spirits submit to him. This is the most powerful force in the world.
As a race related to the Soul King, the Quincies also possess some of these powers.
Spirit particle clustering and holy slaves are the manifestations of this power.
In an instant, the power of hell lingering around Xia Mu’s body dissipated.
Afterwards, the spiritual pressure was also suppressed.
“you lose!”
Yhwach spoke, and pronounced Natsuki’s fate.
“No, I didn’t lose!”
Xia Mu responded to Youhabach. He was not being stubborn, but stating the facts.
“You are not the only one who possesses the power of the Spirit King.”
“And the power of the Spirit King that you possess is not complete!”
Xia Mu told the truth.
As he spoke, a force that originated from the attack released by Yhwach erupted, and under the impetus of Natsuki’s own powerful spiritual pressure, he fought against it.
The two forces collided, and the space between them cracked inch by inch, but then quickly recovered under the influence of the invisible force.
Although it is true that the current Yhwach has devoured the Soul King.
But you have to know that the Spirit King in the Spirit King Palace is actually the dismembered Spirit King.
The power here can only be regarded as a large part of the Spirit King’s total power. In other parts of this world, there are still many powers related to the Spirit King.
Xia Mu’s Soul King power originated from the Soul King fragments collected by the Tsunayashiro family. After that, in some battles, he also collected a lot of power related to the Soul King.
This power was integrated into his Zanpakutō, and because Zanpakutō was closely related to the soul of the god of death, it was also integrated into his body. After the power of hell also entered his body, the two forces reached a balance, prompting Natsuki to complete his evolution.
In terms of level, Xia Mu is now no less capable than Youhabach.
It was simply wishful thinking for Yhwach to use the power of the Soul King to crush Natsuki.
“!!!”
After another failed attempt to erase Natsuki’s existence, Yhwach finally began to take a serious look at Natsuki.
The forces of cause and effect and destiny cannot define Xia Mu’s fate.
The power of the Spirit King was not enough to crush Xia Mu from top to bottom.
Xia Mu is indeed an interesting opponent.
Just when he was about to use even more powerful force to defeat Xia Mu.
On the other side, Urahara Kisuke and Yoruichi did not choose to just stand by and watch.
The tragic situation of Ichibei of the Hyoshubu was certainly shocking, and Yhwach had revealed his powerful and terrifying strength through his actual actions, but this was by no means a reason for them to watch Natsuki fight alone here.
“Shun-hong!”
Reiatsu burst out from Yoruichi’s body, and at the same time, she took out the props developed by Urahara Kisuke.
After crushing the pill-like prop, another layer of armor covered her body. On the armor, there were many special spiritual power circuits.
The spiritual pressure passed through the circuit, further strengthening the power of the ghost way that was originally surrounding the body in the shunbu state.
This is the product of the combination of personal practice and technology.
Yoruichi created Shunshin many years ago. If she had followed the original trajectory, she would have continued to practice, further delved into Shunshin, and created various new advanced forms of Shunshin. But later, because of Natsuki, the development of Soul Society began to move in another direction.
The development of ghost weapons and technology has gradually eliminated many ancient and outdated fighting methods.
At the same time, it also brought new changes to some ancient fighting methods.
Like the Shihouin family’s Hakuda and Yoruichi’s Shundou.
The armor on his body strengthens Yoruichi’s Kidō, and at the critical moment, allows Yoruichi to switch his Kidō and use other forms of Shunshin.
With superb instant movement, she arrived beside Yhwach in an instant, clenched her fists, and with spiritual pressure surrounding her fists, she bombarded Yhwach with great destructive power.
She intervened in the battle forcefully in her own way.
“Weak fist!”
Yhwach simply raised his fist and collided with Yoruichi’s fist.
Ye Yi’s body flew out sideways.
Urahara Kisuke, holding a knife, passed by the flying Yoruichi. He did not choose to rescue Yoruichi because there was something more important to do, which was to defeat Yhwach.
“Razor Red Princess!”
A red slash similar to Ichigo’s Getsuga Tensho was released by Urahara Kisuke, attacking Yhwach in front of him.
While continuing to struggle with Natsuki, Youhabach had some thoughts.
The crimson slash dissipated.
As it disintegrated, arrows of spirits emerged from it and swept towards Urahara Kisuke.
But Urahara Kisuke did not stop him.
Because Ishida Uryu used the flying sickle kick and came in front of Urahara Kisuke.
puff!
The arrow pierced through his body, but in an instant, Ishida Uryu activated his ability of “complete reversal”.
So this injury appeared on Yhwach. (End of this chapter)
