I really can't control myself

Hikifune Kiryu just stood there until Linton came to her. Although she thought of many ways to deal with it, she rejected them one by one. There was no way to deal with this kind of monster, okay? In the end, she could only stand there blankly, unable to take any action.

"Wait..." Just when Linton was about to walk straight ahead, a figure suddenly stood in front of Linton. Naturally, it was Kurosaki Ichigo. Kurosaki Ichigo obviously wants to stop Linton, although he doesn't even have a Zanpakutō now. But as soon as he reached the front, Kurosaki Ichigo suppressed what he was about to say.

Yes, this is the sense of coercion coming from Linton. From the perspective of a bystander just now, Kurosaki Ichigo didn't feel it so deeply, but the moment he faced Linton head-on, the other person's unknown state emanated. The pressure, even though Linton was not targeting him at all, such a terrifying feeling made him even speechless. With just a look, Kurosaki Ichigo felt as if he had seen a dying revolving door.

However, Hikifune Kiryu, who was blocked by him, felt as if the hand holding his throat loosened slightly, and he exhaled sharply. When Linton looked at her just now, she felt like she couldn't even breathe on her own, but the next second, Hikifune Kiryu's legs gave way and he sat on the ground.

"Wait!" Kurosaki Ichigo here said again. He can only say that he is worthy of being the protagonist. Under the current situation, he can quickly come to his senses and withstand Linton's pressure and say: "You can't do this. Isn’t your enemy Yhwach?”

"Well..." Linton suddenly smiled and looked at Kurosaki Ichigo here, and then said, "I think it's really easy to fool a guy like you."

"What do you mean? Are you lying to me?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked. His first reaction was that Linton naturally meant that the enemy he said was Yhwach was a lie.

"I mean, you are really the kind of guy who can help others make money after being sold." Linton spread his hands and said, "I just want to ask you a question, how can you be sure that these people from the Zero Division are against you?" Is it a good intention? It’s not just because these people treat you to a meal.”

"Huh?" Kurosaki Ichigo was stunned, not understanding what Linton meant. Yhwach's purpose is to destroy Soul Society, and the people of Team Zero are naturally the ones who protect Soul Society, and of course they are their own people.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the Spirit King." Linton said suddenly.

"What...what do you mean?" Ichigo Kurosaki here was a little confused and didn't understand what Linton meant.

"If you think about it again, of all the words I said before, were any of them deceiving you?" Linton said, "Do you really think these people from the Zero Division are more trustworthy than me? Although you are He’s the protagonist of a hot-blooded comic, but he’s not completely brainless.”

Kurosaki Ichigo was indeed shaken. Yes, think about it for yourself. Did Linton lie to him? It seems that there is indeed no such thing. Even if this guy wants to do something bad, he will tell it to himself clearly and will not hide it at all. Just like this time, he said from the beginning that he was going to the Lingwang Palace for a banquet. Did he hide himself? Maybe I didn’t think it was necessary at first.

Moreover, Linton often knows some special information, and this information is basically confirmed to be true later. So when he says this now, does he know something? So...do the people from Team Zero have any ill intentions towards me? Although he didn't want to believe it, he began to waver.

"Let's go." Linton said, picking up Hikifune Kiryu from the ground. At the same time, he waved his hand, and a portal appeared directly next to him, and he walked in first. Ichigo Kurosaki was stunned for a moment and followed in, while Renji Abarai who was next to him also followed behind without saying anything.

The three of them passed through the portal and came to a large circular room. When I got here, Kurosaki Ichigo basically knew the location. There is a cylindrical pontoon-like building located in the middle of the Soul King's Palace. When he came, the people from the Zero Squadron told him that that was where the Soul King was. It was called the Soul King's Daineri. Now they are probably there. in this building.

While thinking about it, Kurosaki Ichigo also quickly looked forward. Sure enough, in the middle of the room, he saw a high platform in front of him, like a stage for a stage play, and there were even huge curtains on the left and right sides. In the middle of the curtain, something like a huge oval crystal floated, and inside the crystal, a figure could be vaguely seen.

Although no one introduced him, Kurosaki Ichigo was basically certain that the figure inside the crystal should be the Soul King. But before he could react, Linton had already put down Hikifune Kiryu, stepped onto the high platform in front, and walked in front of the Soul King.

"What do you want to do?" Kurosaki Ichigo said suddenly nervously when he saw this scene.

"Are you worried that I will kill him?" Linton said with a smile, "Indeed, the Soul King is a balancer-like existence in Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the real world. Once any problem occurs, the balance of the entire world will be affected. Destruction. But you seem to have forgotten one thing. If I want to destroy the world, I don’t have to come here at all... It’s just to destroy the world, and it’s not a particularly difficult thing. Do I have to run around like a mission? Just do it. Wouldn’t it be more convenient to do it by hand?”

As Linton said this, he directly covered it with one hand and pressed it on the crystal. Soon the system prompt sounded, and Linton directly obtained 3.24 million points this time.

Obviously, the Spirit King is ownerless. No one can say that this Spirit King is their own. Linton also reminded the valuables directly when he arrived here, which saved a lot of trouble.

He was quite satisfied with the points he got. It had to be said that this Spirit King was indeed full of treasures. The last person to get such an evaluation was his second senior brother. What Linton saw in front of him was only a part of the Soul King. The Soul King in the crystal was reduced to a human stick, with its arms and legs severed. Linton uploaded his left hand before, and other parts should be counted separately. This guy alone has millions of points in total. Isn’t this a treasure?

Linton's hand suddenly pressed on the Soul King's crystal, causing the three people present to panic. However, Linton quickly put down his hand again. After all, Linton was no longer interested in the things he had uploaded. Indeed, He won't do anything to him.

"As you can see, this is the Soul King." Linton pointed to the crystal next to him. "You also saw it. To put it nicely, this is the king of the Soul Society, the supreme existence. But to put it harshly, this The thing is just a battery that maintains the world, see? This thing is still alive, and the only thing he can do is look at the world."

The Soul King's situation is indeed a bit beyond Kurosaki Ichigo's expectations. He really didn't expect the Soul King to be in this situation, but what does Linton mean by this?

"I call this thing a battery because the battery is replaceable." Linton continued, "You can simply understand that even if the power is cut off for a while, you can find a spare battery to recharge it. The world can still hold on."

"What do you mean by this?" Kurosaki Ichigo sounded a little irritated. It was not that he thought Linton was being careless, but that he had already vaguely thought of something.

"You are right." Linton suddenly said at this time, "You...Kurosaki Ichigo is the backup battery."

"What?" Renji Abarai next to him exclaimed.

Next to him, Kurosaki Ichigo said nothing at this time, but he also looked at Linton in shock.

"As you can see, the Soul King's role is to be a battery. He cannot die, but he cannot do anything except live. By becoming the Soul King, you will gain the 'highest honor' in Soul Society, gain eternal life, and then Stay in this crystal and look at the world for a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years..." Linton said with a smile, "Okay, for the balance of the world and for the sake of Soul Society, you Kurosaki Ichi Are you willing to make this battery?"

"..." Kurosaki Ichigo was stunned. The future that Linton described to him was really terrible. He felt like he couldn't breathe just imagining this situation. If you become like that, what will your family do? What will happen to your friends? Never see them again? Still here to watch them grow old and die.

The shocked Kurosaki Ichigo took two steps back uncontrollably, looking at the ground unable to answer Linton's question.

"That's not the case!" Kiryu Hikifune said suddenly next to him.

These words made Kurosaki Ichigo raise his head and look in the direction of Hikifune Kiryu. Could it be that what Linton said was not true? He was so eager in his heart, hoping that what Linton said was not true. Hearing Kirifune Hikifune speak, he quickly looked towards her position.

"Spiritual King..."

Before Hikifune Kiryu finished speaking, Linton suddenly interrupted him: "Actually, the Soul King should have known that he was going to die this time, and I think he had nothing to resist, but was relieved. The king can foresee the future, so he should have seen Yhwach kill him long ago... No, to be precise, the person who killed the Soul King should be Kurosaki Ichigo..."

"Me?" Kurosaki Ichigo was stunned. Will he be the one who kills the Soul King? This is impossible.

"Believe me, you are the one who killed the Spirit King. Don't worry, the Spirit King will be grateful to you." Linton said, "In short, the Spirit King is dead, but this fragile world needs batteries, so the only way forward is Two. A duel between Yhwach, one of the battery candidates, and Kurosaki Ichigo, the second battery candidate. Whoever loses will make a new battery, and your Zero Division will be responsible for making it, right? That’s what I said. Question? Miss Hikifune Kiryu?"

"I..." Hikifune Kiryu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything to refute.

Seeing Hikifune Kiryu's reaction, Kurosaki Ichigo's heart sank here, and he had basically confirmed that Linton's words were true.
