Death: No cheats, take refuge in Aizen

Higashino Hideichi's counterattack was unreasonable and incomprehensible to Urahara Kisuke.

But when the fact happened, Urahara Kisuke's heart was filled with an indescribable excitement.

This excitement did not come from his desire for fighting and strong enemies.

Urahara Kisuke was not Aizen, and he did not have such a bad taste.

This excitement came from a decision made by Urahara Kisuke before.

When Urahara Kisuke just mentioned this decision to the former great demon chief Wuling Tessai of Soul Society, Urahara Kisuke remembered that the latter strongly opposed it.

The reason was also very simple. Wuling Tessai did not think that the king of the Quincy, who was defeated by their Shinigami a thousand years ago, was not worth Urahara Kisuke, who had already studied the power of hell and had so many first-generation captains' spirits in his hands, and had not yet integrated them, to spend time studying and exploring.

However, Kisuke Urahara resolutely activated the key he got from the Ishida family and went to the Invisible Empire. After that, he carried out a series of research on the Quincy.

Kisuke Urahara's intuition told him that there were still many things worth digging into about the former Quincy King Yhwach.

Now it seems that his intuition was not wrong.

His decision to study the Quincy was indeed extremely correct.

Kisuke Urahara is now just regretting that he made this decision too late. If it could be a few years earlier, or if he could meet the sleeping Quincy, Takuya Kabuto, a few years earlier.

Maybe his research on the Quincy can now reach a new height like his research on the power of hell.

Time is still too tight.

Kisuke Urahara never thought that just a small exploration by Takuya Kabuto would arouse such great anger from the Quincy King, and thus vent his anger on himself and launch this massive action.

But it doesn't matter, he hasn't lost yet. He really lost an arm and his Zanpakutō because he didn't expect that the King of Quincy could fight back against him in that situation just now.

But how much better can the King of Quincy, who is now trapped in the sea of ​​hell, be than himself?

Urahara Kisuke doesn't believe that the power of hell will have no effect on the King of Quincy as it looks on the outside.

If there is really no effect, the King of Quincy should have let himself out from the bottom of the sea of ​​hell long ago.

He didn't come out because he didn't want to?

Is it comfortable to be baptized by the power of hell in the sea of ​​hell?

Urahara Kisuke has felt that taste before, and it's not comfortable at all. Even just a little bit of it made Urahara Kisuke suffer for nearly half a year.

He believes that the King of Quincy is the same.

Being able to persist there for so long, Urahara Kisuke feels that the endurance and willpower of the King of Quincy can definitely be called unprecedented and unparalleled.

However, Urahara Kisuke didn't let Higashino Hideichi know about this idea, otherwise Higashino Hideichi would tell Urahara Kisuke in person that he was wrong.

In this world, there is a person who has endured the invasion of the power of hell for much longer than Higashino Hideichi and Urahara Kisuke combined.

And that person was only 41 years old when Higashino Hideichi met her. Among the gods of death, this age is still a child.

In the 41 years before she met Higashino Hideichi, she knelt alone in that dark hut for 31 years.

She was also troubled by the power of hell for 31 years.

But such a weak girl, with extraordinary willpower, took on the suffering far beyond all the gods of death.

She would even drag her frail body to bow slightly to Higashino Hideichi when Higashino Hideichi came back from that hell, smiling and saying,

"Thank you for your hard work, Hideichi~"

It was because of knowing this and understanding this past that Higashino Hideichi was standing in the sea of ​​hell at this moment. Even though his body was devastated, he stood straight with an extremely tenacious will.

"No matter what I do, I can't be worse than that girl, right?"

Higashino Hideichi was at the bottom of the sea of ​​hell, his body was under tremendous pressure from all around, and he still completed the start of the move.

The slash just now was just a sneak attack he made when he seized the opportunity.

And this knife was a frontal breakthrough!

"Swallow Return·Eight Thousand Flows!"

This knife condensed all the sword moves that Higashino Hideichi had learned so far. The great way is simple, just drawing the sword.

Above the sea of ​​hell, Urahara Kisuke was still thinking about how to deal with Higashino Hideichi who was "hiding" in the sea of ​​hell.

His situation was somewhat different from that of Higashino Hideichi. Higashino Hideichi's current behavior of completely placing himself in the Sea of ​​Hell was an absolute taboo for Urahara Kisuke.

He was sure that even if he only went in half a foot, let alone completely, he would have to say goodbye to him from then on.

Then he saw it.

No, he saw nothing!

When Higashino Hideichi swung the knife in the Sea of ​​Hell, the world around Urahara Kisuke was silent.

The Sea of ​​Hell was gone, and the shadow world was gone.

His eyes were full of gray, his ears were full of wailing, his body was full of fatigue, and his heart was full of dead silence.

Everything from Urahara Kisuke was taken away at this moment, and he couldn't even complete the act of feeling.

He became an outsider in this world.

When his consciousness regained control, he discovered that his body had become fragmented, and the power of hell was attached to the countless fragments of his body in the air, trying to capture his own soul. Suck it out secretly, then combine it and take it back to hell.

But these hell powers only keep their thoughts on the surface.

Their behavior is restricted.

In the sea of ​​hell, Higashino Shuichi knelt on the ground on one knee, relying on the Zanpakutō Hungryaku Corridor in his hand to support him from falling down.

"He is dead, descendants. Your power makes me feel a little scary. Even in hell, I have never seen anyone who can do what you do.

To tell you something you may like to hear, among all the Shinigami, Hollows and humans I have seen in all the years I have been in hell, including myself, none of them can use the power of hell like the two of you today. So much so! "

Kariyashiki Kenpachi witnessed the entire process with the help of Higashino Shuichi's eyes.

If he wasn't in hell now and was already a dead man, he would be eager to get out and have another fight with Higashino Shuichi, the winner.

Even he felt that he probably couldn't beat the current Higashino Shuichi, but being defeated by a strong man was the joy of life!

"No, Lord Kariyashiki, he is not dead yet!"

Higashino gasped for air, raised his head and looked at the sky above the sea of ​​hell and said.

He also hoped that the sword he had just used, which was full of all his skills, could kill Urahara Kisuke. It’s a pity that he has to admit what he sees with his eyes and what he feels with his spiritual sense.

He could see the remains of Urahara Kisuke's body scattered over the Sea of ​​Hell.

He could sense that outside the Sea of ​​Hell, countless forces were gathering towards the Sea of ​​Hell.

That was not Higashino Shuichi's own action, so there was only one possibility: Urahara Kisuke did it.

"His body is already like this, how can he still survive?"

Kariyashiki Kenpachi said in shock in Higashino Shuichi's mind.

This kind of thing was unheard of even in the long career of Kenpachi Kariyashiki.

Even if Higashino Shuichi had the Soul King's fingernail fragments and the power of infinite regeneration, there was no way he could survive when his body was shattered like this, and every divided part was wrapped in the power of hell.

But Kisuke Urahara did it.

Technology changes life. This sentence is very suitable for Aizen. Higashino Shuichi did not expect Urahara Kisuke to do the same.

"It is holy"

Higashino Shuichi, who was temporarily out of power, could only watch Urahara Kisuke's body rapidly reconstructing above the Sea of ​​Hell.

"Holy?"

Kariyashiki Kenpachi, who had not experienced a normal battle, still did not understand the meaning of the word "holy" at this time.

But Higashino Shuichi just knows it.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Urahara Kisuke's process of dismembering and reabsorbing the spiritual remains of the first-generation captains who were still fighting in the shadow world outside is like a superb imitation of Yhwach's Saint.

If this was not a life and death battle, Higashino Shuichi would even say a sour sentence to Urahara Kisuke in admiration,

"You're just showing off your skills properly!"

Using a mortal body to seek the power of gods, this is Urahara Kisuke, and this is what he has done now.

If Aizen paved the road to physical sanctification for himself, then Urahara Kisuke chose "mechanical" ascension for himself.

He is telling everyone with his actions that as long as you can do something to the extreme, the power of gods is nothing but authority that you can steal.

"Hehe. Hehehe, I was deceived by you. Urahara Kisuke!"

If things develop to this point and Higashino Shuichi still can't figure out the ins and outs, his hundreds of years of experience will be in vain.

Previously, Higashino Shuichi had slashed Urahara Kisuke on the shoulder blade.

That knife made Higashino realize that Urahara Kisuke might be covered in a layer of spirit skeleton skin. It was Urahara Kisuke who mixed together several of the first-generation captain spirit skeletons that he exchanged from Niryuuri to create a A brand new "battle armor" exclusive to him, Kisuke Urahara.

The subsequent battle also verified Higashino Shuichi's guess.

Therefore, Higashino Shuichi was convinced of this for a time.

Only now did Higashino realize that he was wrong and that he had been deceived.

That's not Urahara Kisuke's "armor" at all, that's Urahara Kisuke's current "body"!

He completed the perfect fusion between his body and his spiritual body.

Even Higashino Shuichi could think of Urahara Kisuke's purpose in doing this.

It is for the eternal and eternal "Jinchuuriki" of the previous generation, Miyazaki Sakai Masato, who was the previous generation's "Jinchuuriki" who was the Soul King's left leg, that is contained in the spirit bones of those first-generation captains. A source of spiritual power that will dry up.

This is an irresistible temptation for a fighting Shinigami like Higashino Shuichi, let alone a scientific Shinigami like Urahara Kisuke?

As long as he has spiritual power that will not be exhausted, Urahara Kisuke can carry out various researches without restraint.

And this is exactly the fundamental reason why Urahara Kisuke's scientific research progress can be advanced at such an incredible speed!

Flesh and blood are weak, and machinery ascends. Higashino Hideichi even has reason to suspect that Urahara Kisuke is also a time traveler.

At the same time, it is precisely because Urahara Kisuke abandoned his own body that he does not need to endure the torture of the body when borrowing the power of hell like Higashino Hideichi did in the past.

All the consequences are borne by the spirit bones, but the spirit bones are not the objects of hell. Therefore, those hell forces have a logical bug in the mechanical working mode on Urahara Kisuke's body.

As a result, the final result has become what it is now, as if Urahara Kisuke has taken advantage of the power of hell for free.

After figuring out everything, even as an enemy, Higashino Hideichi must admire Urahara Kisuke's genius.

Without anyone reminding him, without the story of a person who experienced it personally like Higashino Hideichi, and without the support of the Douma family, he alone figured out the evil solution of the power of hell.

It's really scary.

He is worthy of being the only person who can be regarded as an opponent by Aizen Sosuke in the original work.

He is also worthy of being regarded as a special combat force by Yhwach in the original work.

Above the sea of ​​hell, Urahara Kisuke's body recovered, and even the Zanpakutō that had fallen into the sea of ​​hell before also magically appeared in Urahara Kisuke's hand.

Those hell powers attached to the surface of the body are not an obstacle to Urahara Kisuke at all.

Urahara Kisuke himself is very clear about this.

After being "resurrected", he also saw Higashino Hideichi in the sea of ​​hell, who seemed to be exhausted and had no power to fight back.

But now the question is, how should he deal with Higashino Hideichi in the depths of the sea of ​​hell?

Others may not know, but Urahara Kisuke himself knows exactly what his current situation is.

Without a physical body, only his soul still belongs to him.

This state gives him a strong characteristic that is not afraid of the power of hell, but at the same time, it also brings him another unsolvable problem.

That is his soul, which cannot touch those gray-white skeleton arms from hell that are demanding souls.

Without the restraint of the body, his soul is like duckweed without water. If the skeleton arm hooks his soul lightly, his soul will follow the other party.

And the sea of ​​hell is full of those gray-white skeleton arms.

It's funny to say that his body is obviously the god of death, and the god of death itself should be a pure soul concept.

But because of the special existence of hell that specializes in soul-seeking, the soul body that constitutes the external characteristics of their god of death has also become the "flesh" in the popular sense of the human mouth in the world.

So, this battle that should have entered a white-hot battle at this point in time has temporarily fallen into a stalemate in such a very strange way. (End of this chapter)
