A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

Chapter 857. 850. Live Without Regrets
Looking at the two people with vigilant faces, Urahara Kisuke reminded lightly without too much explanation: "There is no time to argue here, and the situation with this girl is clear to you, right? The Quincy has been corroded by Xu's power, Normal treatment methods are useless. You two... come with me, and I will tell you... the way to save this girl."

"..."

Hearing this, Ishida Ryuxian and Shiba Isshin immediately calmed down, looked at each other, and nodded with gloomy expressions.

Soon, following Urahara Kisuke's footsteps, the two came to the research room deep in the Urahara store.

"Symptoms like this girl... I have been studying it for 100 years." Kisuke Urahara explained lightly while leading the way.

"Year 100?"

Both of them were slightly surprised when they heard the words.

"You don't look like a 100-year-old old man... who are you?" Zhibo asked with a slight frown.

The man in front of him is obviously not an ordinary human being.

"My name is Kisuke Urahara." Kisuke Urahara replied indifferently, without intending to hide anything, "A person exiled by Soul Society...."

"You are... Kisuke Urahara!?" Shiba Isshin's forehead was covered with cold sweat, his face was full of surprise.

On the other hand, Ishida Ryuxian didn't care about it at all: "It doesn't matter who you are! How can I save Masaki!? Can you restore her to her original appearance!?"

"..."

Kisuke Urahara was silent for a moment, and then said with some regret, "I was talking about saving her, but I never said that I could restore her to her original state, you should know it too... Xu's power is absolutely perfect for Quincy. The opposite power can almost be said to be extremely poisonous. Generally, if you are infected, there is no possibility for you to reverse it."

"What..." Ishida Longxian shook his head when he heard the words, as if he wanted to escape from reality.

However, Kisuke Urahara's tone was still extremely indifferent: "Frankly speaking, this girl...Miss Masaki, she is beyond recovery."

"!!!"

Hearing the man in front of him make such a firm assertion, both Shiba Isshin and Ishida Ryuzuru were slightly taken aback.

"Please put Masaki-san here."

Urahara Kisuke ignored the surprise of the two, but stopped in front of the test bench, directed the two of them lightly, and explained: "That symptom is called 'blooming'. The soul is injected into an existing soul to break the boundary between the two souls.

It is a trial that destroys the original object and sublimates it into a higher level of soul.

That technology was originally intended to strengthen the soul of the God of Death, but it is beyond our control. This is the result of using this uncontrollable technology on the Quincy Master other than the original target.

Such a result, I am afraid, should also be an unexpected coincidence for the mastermind behind all this. "

"Uncontrollable?" Ishida Ryuxian seemed to grasp the point of the words, "If that's the case... isn't it hopeless?"

"No, although I can't return to the 'original form', after so many years of research, I still found a way to save her life."

Kisuke Urahara replied calmly.

"If the symptoms of the 'ghost' of the soul continue to deepen, it will develop into a situation where the original soul and the ghost's soul are mixed together, and become a monster that loses its mind.

Moreover, in the end not only the boundary between souls, but also the boundary between the soul itself and the outside world will be destroyed...then break away from the will of the self, until the self dies...this is called 'soul suicide'.Simply put, it is uncontrollable self-destruction. "

"..."

The two of them listened to Urahara Kisuke's popular science in a daze, and couldn't get in a word for a while.

"so what should I do now?"

"During the 100 years of research, I discovered a way to prevent 'spiritual suicide'." Urahara Kisuke replied calmly, "That is...directly injecting the opposite of 'spiritualization' of the soul.

The key 'destruction of boundaries' that leads to 'blurring' is caused by breaking the balance of the soul, that is to say... using the opposite force to force it to continue to maintain balance can achieve the purpose of canceling each other out. "

"I don't understand what you mean..." Zhibo Yixin still didn't understand.

On the side, Ishida Longxian had some clues in his mind, and seemed to understand something.

And just because he understood, his face became even uglier for some reason.

"For example..." Kisuke Urahara continued to explain, "I used the spiritual arrow of the Quincy and human souls to make a vaccine, and injected it into the ghostly souls of several Death Gods... Through this method, [-]% successful in preventing 'soul suicide'.

However, the only thing it can prevent is 'soul suicide', but as I said just now, this kind of prevention is only to force the soul to maintain balance through the forces that cancel each other out.

In other words... To save her, this state must be maintained, and maintaining this state requires a stronger and more durable force.Someone who can't leave for a moment until she dies, keeps suppressing her void and injects the opposite force. "

"Liar! No way..."

Hearing this, Ishida Ryuxian became agitated, "Other... there should be other ways?"

He knew that if there was really only such a way, then there was nothing he could do about it.

Because the only one who has the opposite power to Masaki who is the Quincy is Shinigami.

What a joke... how could there be a god of death willing to do this for a Quincy! ?
They are mortal enemies!
"What a smart man...understands so quickly."

Seeing that Ishida Ryūshū seemed to have understood everything, Urahara Kisuke sighed lightly, "I know it's hard for you to accept this fact, but...you can't do anything, the person who has the ability to do this is—"

He turned his head to look at Shiba Isshin who was beside him.

"That's right, you're the only one here, Shiba Isshin."

As he spoke, Kisuke Urahara opened another curtain covering the test bench, as if everything had already been prepared.

"This is... a special skeleton made by me. Made with human souls. The soul injected here can survive as a complete human being."

He stared at Shiba Isshin and explained calmly, "That is to say, if you are injected, you will become an existence between Shinigami and human beings. The opposite of Quincy is Shinigami, and the opposite of Hollow is human.

you got it?

Using this, you are the exact opposite of the disappearing Quincy.

This is... the choice for you.

The only caveat is...it's a choice with too many downsides for you.

After entering this skeleton, not only will you no longer be able to use the power of the god of death, you will not even be able to see your soul. Moreover, once you enter it... you will never be able to change back into the god of death. "

"..."

Hearing this, Ishida Ryūshin stared silently at the back of the god of death named Shiba Isshin.

How many negative effects?
For the god of death, this is a choice that is harmful but not beneficial.

Is anyone really stupid enough to accept this kind of thing by sacrificing himself for others?
"I see! I do!"

However, to the surprise of both present, Zhibo Yixin accepted without hesitation.

"what?"

Even Kisuke Urahara, who was explaining the principle, was taken aback for a moment, "Don't think about it again?"

"Don't have time to think about it? I said I'll do it! Let's get started!" Zhibo said in a natural way, "If you don't want to be a god of death, then don't be a god of death. There is no need to think about such things!"

"Aren't you nostalgic?" Kisuke Urahara asked with a gloomy face, "Once you start, there is no room for you to go back on your word."

"How can there be no nostalgia? I have too many nostalgia, I can't finish it! The responsibility of the captain, my clansman..." Zhibo Yixin still said as a matter of course, "But so what? Do I want to be held back by nostalgia, Do you refuse to save your benefactor? If I don't save her now, then I will be ashamed of it in the future!"

"..."

The whole room fell into a brief silence.

Ishida Longxian looked at the back of the god of death in surprise.

Such similar words...he seems to have heard it somewhere...

Ah, that's right... The reason for everything is that Masaki who made the decision to save this Shinigami said almost the same thing...

Live without regrets?
Really... two idiots.

"I see... come here, please."

Kisuke Urahara saw that Shiba had made up his mind, so he didn't continue to say anything.

Ishida Longxian could only close his eyes and choose to accept the reality.

The sound of rain came from outside the window.

He knew that this was the result of Kurosaki Masaki's own choice of path, which might be the best result for the other party.

After that, Masaki will probably be able to escape the Quincy's "fate" and live without regrets as an ordinary human being.

So...that's the right thing to do...is it?Even if it will be irreversible in the future.

Leaving the Urahara store, Ishida Uryu looked at the sky where raindrops kept falling, and asked questions in his heart, as if he was asking across time and space.

"Yes. Masaki never regretted any of the choices she made until the moment of her death."

Under the roof of the clinic.

Kurosaki smoked a cigarette and looked at the rainy sky, and told Kurosaki Ichigo everything about his mother.

"After that, Masaki left the Ishida house shortly after graduating from high school.

Because the soul is mixed with the power of Hollow, she is no longer pure as a Quincy, so she has lost value to the Ishida family.

It was Long Xian who drove Masaki out of the house with his own hands. Presumably, this was his own effort to say goodbye to Masaki.

Longxian knows that he is completely different from Masaki. Masaki is a pure and free person who can let go of everything for himself and live without regrets, but he is different. To this day, he has not completely let go of the mission he carries.

I... After that, I lost the power of the God of Death, and the knowledge I learned in the Spirit Art Academy was only useful for medical skills, so I opened such a small clinic. "

Kurosaki Yixin laughed and continued to tell while laughing at himself, while Kurosaki Ichigo listened silently.

"Masaki, who became a college student, often came over to make fun of me for wearing a white coat.

I told Masaki that she lost the power of Shinigami because she "made a mistake in Soul World and was exiled to the present world".But probably... the moment I told the reason, Masaki had already seen through the lie.

I don't seem to be very good at lying, of course... It may also be that her intuition is too sharp.

In any case, it doesn't matter to us whether the lie is true or not.

In a movie the two of us watched, an old man compared his wife who was with him all the year round to the sun.It was a sad and boring movie.

Other than making Masaki cry, I forgot everything else.

Only that line is still fresh in my memory... Masaki is like the sun, attracting everything around her, forgiving everything, and shining everywhere.

I'm just... happy to be around her.

Thus, you were born. "

"..."

Kurosaki Ichigo nodded slightly upon hearing this.

He knew that the story had ended here, and he knew everything after that.

"There is one more thing you don't know." Kurosaki Isshin seemed to see through his son's thoughts, and continued with a gloomy expression, "That is the truth about your mother's death.

Listen...nine years ago today, June 6th...

Your mother didn't deserve to die.

The real cause of her death was not the attack of the ghost. "

"What do you mean?"

"Now you should have awakened the ability of Quincy, right?"

Kurosaki explained indifferently, "Do you think the defensive power of Quincy's 'blood outfit' can be broken through with that level of Hollow?"

"!!"

Hearing this, Kurosaki Ichigo seemed to realize something.

That's right, the defensive power of the static blood suit is astonishing. He only used it subconsciously at the time and was able to survive under Yu Habach.Although the opponent didn't use all his strength, it was already amazing enough.

"That's right, the blood costume is a natural ability of a pure-blooded Quincy. Masaki... Although the power of Hollow is mixed in her body, as a pure-blooded Quincy, the static blood costume is her best ability. Back then She also relied on this ability to save me from that Xu's hand."

Kurosaki Isshin said with gloomy eyes: "That day, I... was not 'I couldn't save Masaki', but 'I didn't go to save Masaki'. Before Masaki's death, in order to be the opposite of the power that suppressed her inner void Power is the existence combined with her soul. As long as she is still alive, I can't break free from the shackles of Yikui and use the power of death.

I was at home at that time... I felt the Reiatsu of Masaki and that Hollow, and even though I lost the power of the god of death, I couldn't help if I went, but if I knew Masaki was in danger, of course I would go.

But she wasn't supposed to be in any danger.

With that level of emptiness, how could it be possible to hurt Masaki who was protected by a static blood outfit?This should have been a battle without any suspense.

But the result was not like this.

Ichigo, your friend Ishida Uryu, have you heard about his mother? "

"Does this have anything to do with my mother's unexpected defeat?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked.
