Death: No cheats, take refuge in Aizen

Chapter 197 195. From now on, you only need to hold me in your heart

The blood sea is changing.

For Unohana Retsu, who had experienced the Quincy Rebellion, the appearance of the Quincy could only have a little impact on her at the first moment.

No matter what tricks Higashino Hideichi used, he had trapped the Quincy in his blood sea.

To be honest, Unohana Retsu did not think that these Quincy who could only use some sacred extinction arrows could pose a great threat to her.

In Unohana Retsu's memory, only the Quincy King could barely be said to be a threat to them, the gods of death.

The remaining Quincy, one by one, even if they used their last ability to activate the Holy Servants and the Chaos Heavenly Puppet, in Unohana Retsu's eyes, their threat level was far less than the Ghost Path Cleansing that Higashino Hideichi had used before.

In fact, the performance of these Quincies was just as Unohana Retsu had imagined. One after another, the Holy Extinction Arrows shot out from their hands, but they passed by her one by one.

They couldn't even touch Unohana Retsu's body

But what Unohana Retsu didn't expect again was that Higashino Hideichi fought with her with one hand using his Zanpakutō, and he could also start to condense the Holy Extinction Arrows with the other hand.

"Hmm"

Unohana Retsu frowned. Compared with those Quincies who were not worth mentioning, it was obvious that the Holy Extinction Arrows that Higashino Hideichi had passed through, the spiritual pressure attached to them alone, made Unohana Retsu more alert.

"This is your purpose, right?

Call these Quincies over, and then borrow their power?"

Unohana Retsu said after spinning and striking Higashino Hideichi away from him.

She felt that she had guessed Higashino Hideichi's intention. From a certain perspective, Higashino Hideichi's approach was not wrong, because her blood sea was too restraining for most of the Shinigami who relied on the power of Zanpakutō to fight. If Higashino Hideichi did not seek other powers to break through this limitation, then Higashino Hideichi would not be able to defeat herself in the blood sea.

Even if Higashino Hideichi used his Return Blade ability to force his blood sea to temporarily shut down, it would not work, because shutting down would only make his blood sea lose the effect of restraining special abilities, but Unohana Retsu could still use the blood sea for unlimited recovery.

Seeing that Higashino Hideichi did not answer, Unohana Retsu chopped off the huge sacred arrow of destruction that Higashino Hideichi had thrown at her.

"Unfortunately, your approach is not very effective. As long as my blood sea recovers from the shutdown state you mentioned, the power you have worked so hard to seek will also disappear due to the death of those Quincies!"

Unohana Retsu said regretfully.

She didn't think that these weak Quincies could resist the swallowing of her blood sea like Higashino Hideichi.

However, just as Unohana Retsu said this, Higashino Hideichi showed a sunny smile at the corner of his mouth,

"So, Captain, aren't you curious?

Why, after our battle until now, I still haven't chanted my Zanpakutō Bankai in front of you?"

At this moment, Unohana Retsu's pupils shrank sharply.

Yes, why hasn't Higashino Hideichi used his Bankai until now?

No, that's not right, Higashino Hideichi didn't use it, but he didn't chant it!

Unohana Retsu suddenly thought of a skill invented by Higashino Hideichi but often overlooked, chanting silently!

Unohana Retsu looked at Higashino Hideichi, looking at the extremely confident expression on the latter's face, she understood that Higashino Hideichi had already opened his Bankai!

So, what Bankai ability does Higashino Hideichi have that he has to hide it in this way?

A few minutes ago, in Soul Society, Seireitei, in the activity room of the 5th Division, the captain of the 5th Division, Aizen, who was practicing calligraphy skills with other Shinigami members, suddenly stopped moving.

"What's wrong, captain?"

Aizen's vice-captain asked Aizen.

"Nothing? It's just that I agreed to a naughty guy's small request~"

Does Higashino Hideichi have the ability to pull the Quincy in the real world into the blood sea of ​​Unohana Retsu?

The answer is of course!

But just pulling some ordinary Quincy over, as Unohana Retsu analyzed before, is meaningless. Therefore, what Higashino Hideichi is pursuing is to let his Quincy clone return to his body for a short time and perfectly merge with himself.

Generally speaking, this step cannot be achieved without decades of hard work.

However, Higashino Hideichi found a way to experience it in advance.

That is, using Aizen's Bankai ability to turn imagination into reality, he can treat this process as a kind of ability and skip it directly.

In order to achieve this, Unohana Retsu must fully believe in Higashino Shuichi's ability to imagine all this out of thin air in the extremely short period of time when the blood sea goes from shutdown to recovery.

Therefore, Higashino Shuichi designed the previous plots.

In fact, Higashino Hideichi had only one purpose from the beginning to the end, that is to make Unohana Retsu believe from the bottom of his heart that he, Higashino Hideichi, would not doubt that it was fake no matter what outrageous things he did next.

From the initial language induction,

"Captain, your Bankai ability is indeed very strong, but don't forget, I am not an ordinary god of death!"

To the strong breaking of the blood sea's restrictions, and then the appearance of the Quincy, and finally the integration of the Quincy's power into himself.

It can be said that Unohana Retsu fell into the cognitive trap that Higashino Hideichi carefully woven for her step by step.

And now, all the preparations have been completed, Higashino Hideichi's eyes have become deep, the spiritual pressure characteristics of his body have begun to change, and the Zanpakutō in his hand has also begun to change its own form.

Borrowing a knife to kill, Bankai, dream collapse!

At this moment, Higashino Hideichi finally showed his fangs that he had hidden for a long time in front of Unohana Retsu!

At the same time, in the real world, Takuya Kabuto, who had found a reason to temporarily separate from Masato Miyazaki, who was heading towards the Higasei Bureau, gently closed his eyes.

The power of the Quincy, the power of the Holy Word I. was madly gathering on Higasei Hideichi.

When Higasei Hideichi opened his eyes again, his eyes were already filled with gray. They were the eyes of the Spirit King!

Even Unohana Retsu, at the moment of being stared at by these eyes, couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.

"What kind of power is this?"

Unohana Retsu said incredulously.

Because she found that after Higasei Hideichi had completely completed his transformation, even if her blood sea ability had been fully restored, she still couldn't dispel Higasei Hideichi from this special state.

For Higashino Hideichi, this is a matter of course.

"This is the true power of the Quincy. I call it the Holy Word!

As for now, Captain, you should be the first Shinigami to see me in this form."

Countless spiritual pressures gathered around Higashino Hideichi, and the entire blood sea began to boil.

In Unohana Retsu's perspective, there was only a touch of bright red in the world. The blood sea, out of her control, was gathering towards Higashino Hideichi's body!

No, to be more accurate, the current blood sea gave Unohana Retsu the feeling that it was more like an extension of Higashino Hideichi's body!

"The fictional future, the real present, the future · structure!

Captain, this is the Holy Word C · Enforcement!"

Hideichi Higashino's voice came from every direction of the blood sea.

Unohana Retsu was not wrong. Now, the entire blood sea is part of Higashino Hideichi's body, and Higashino Hideichi is the blood sea!

Infinite evolution, this is the ability of Higashino Hideichi to come back from the future fiction.

And this is exactly what Higashino Hideichi's Quincy clone couldn't do before.

The spiritual pressure of that clone was so low that it couldn't support this level of Holy Word ability.

But now the Quincy power that has been integrated with Higashino Hideichi's body has no such worries.

With Higashino Hideichi's own strong spiritual pressure as support, Higashino Hideichi can still do it just to construct a few Holy Word abilities for a short time.

Of course, this is far from the end. After using the Holy Word ability C to help himself completely get rid of the limitations of Unohana Retsu's Bankai ability, Higashino Hideichi's next step is.

Between heaven and earth, countless tiny blood pillars rose up, and Unohana Retsu, who was in the middle, had no power to resist at all, and was completely penetrated by these blood pillars!

Holy Word X·Piercing through everything!

"I can't stop it at all."

Blood spit out from Unohana Retsu's mouth, she couldn't believe what just happened.

She had tried her best to stop these blood pillars, but no matter what ability she used, she would collapse at the touch of a button in front of these blood pillars that seemed to have little power.

"Captain, of course you can't stop it. After all, this is the power of rules!"

Higashino Hideichi slowly came to the body of Unohana Retsu in the air, which was fixed by countless blood pillars, and carefully touched the center of the latter's chest.

"It's over, Captain~"

Higashino Hideichi said to Unohana Retsu in the most gentle tone.

Then, extremely terrifying spiritual pressure gathered at Higashino Hideichi's fingertips,

The Holy Word Ability E·Critical Strike was activated!

At this moment, Unohana Retsu felt that she only had consciousness left, and she had completely lost contact with her body.

Under the exploding white light, there should be only dregs left, right?

No, maybe not even the dregs will be left.

Unohana Retsu closed her eyes happily, and dying like this was undoubtedly the best destination for her~

However, after closing her eyes, Unohana Retsu did not wait for the demise of her consciousness.

Instead, she heard the familiar tenderness coming from her ears,

"Now, you owe me a life~"

Unohana Retsu opened his eyes and found that in front of him was Higashino Hideichi, whose body was completely torn apart.

Those gentle words came from Higashino Hideichi, who only had a head left.

Holy Word Ability A·Complete Reversal!

Generally speaking, this is the strongest move to kill the enemy.

However, for Higashino Hideichi, this move is also a first-class skill to use with his own ability to save people.

"Hideichi, you"

After the blood column was removed, Unohana Retsu found that he could resume normal actions, and Higashino Hideichi in front of him was rapidly regenerating.

"What about me? This battle may be fought with the determination that one of you must die, but for me, it is not like this."

While speaking, Higashino Hideichi's body has completely recovered.

Then, Higashino Hideichi came in front of Unohana Retsu, and in front of the latter, he pulled open the captain's haori that had been restored on Unohana Retsu's body, exposing the scar below the collarbone on Unohana Retsu's body.

During the whole process, Unohana Retsu just watched quietly without any attempt to stop it, because for her, she was now a loser, and as the winner, Higashino Hideichi could do whatever he wanted to her.

But for some reason, when Higashino Hideichi opened her collar, she could clearly feel that her heart beat faster.

What was she expecting?

Nothing happened.

Yes, Higashino Hideichi gently stroked the lower part of Unohana Retsu's collarbone with his warm right hand,

"Actually, I wanted to say a long time ago that your scar is not good to leave here.

But I also know that I didn't have the qualifications to erase this scar for you in the past, but now, I think I should have the qualifications~"

After that, Higashino Hideichi did not linger, but took his hand away from Unohana Retsu's collarbone.

And the scar that had followed Unohana Retsu for thousands of years completely disappeared from Unohana Retsu's body.

Unohana Retsu looked down, her lips moved, wanting to say something, but she didn't.

That scar was left on purpose to remind herself.

So normally, ordinary treatment methods would not be able to erase that scar from her body.

Unless

Unohana Retsu raised her head and looked at Higashino Hideichi.

"Is it strange?" Higashino Hideichi smiled, "I found Kirinji Tenshiro during the ten years of disappearance in the present world.

It doesn't make sense that you, Yachiryu, are allowed to go to Kirinji to learn the way of Hui for a young man, but I, Higashino Hideichi, am not allowed to go to Kirinji to learn the way of Hui for a person, right?"

At this moment, Unohana Retsu didn't know what to answer to express her uneasy mood at the moment.

In the thousands of years since she was born, she has never felt her heart beating so hard when she was not fighting.

"I"

Unohana Retsu said a word, and then, she didn't know what to say next.

She felt that she had a lot to say, but there were many things she couldn't say.

However, what she couldn't say, Higashino Hideichi said for her,

"Look, Yachiryu, today, I completely defeated you, so, in the future, you don't have to be in a dilemma, just think about me and work hard towards me~"

Higashino Hideichi stretched out his hand and pressed on Unohana Retsu's long hair.

In this case, it must be impossible for anyone to persuade Unohana Retsu to sacrifice his life for someone in the future, right?

And Unohana Retsu also restored his usual appearance of Yamato Nadeshiko, silently folded his hands in front of himself, and whispered, "Hmm~"

For her now, before defeating Higashino Hideichi, her heart really only needs to think about Higashino Hideichi, that's enough.

"Oh, by the way, this is for you~"

Bankai was released, the sea of ​​blood faded, Higashino Hideichi suddenly remembered his previous preparations, took Unohana Retsu's little hand, and handed a gem to the latter's palm.

"What is this?"

Unohana Retsu felt familiar.

"This is what I left for you when I fled to the real world, but it seems that you accidentally lost it. Now I have found it back and now I give it to you to keep it for me.

But this time, you must not lose it~"

Higashino Hideichi said with a smile.

This is actually the space gem from the West Shokuju that he secretly ran to Yamada Seinosuke's residence before going to the training ground.

This thing, no matter who it is now, has little actual value, but Higashino Hideichi thinks it is quite suitable to use it as a souvenir to replace the scar for Unohana Retsu.

After all, Higashino Hideichi doesn't want to leave a new scar on Unohana Retsu's body.

But perhaps Higashino Hideichi forgot that the scar is not necessary?

The two parties themselves probably know the little thoughts behind this.

"Don't worry, Shuichi-kun, I will definitely keep it well this time~"

Unohana Retsu took the gem, looked at the photo of herself and Higashino Shuichi reflected on it, and said gently.
