Chapter 1117: Masked Army Arrives

Ichigo Kurosaki said, smiling and looking in another direction.

"It looks like he's been discovered."

A voice appeared, and then, near Urahara Kisuke and Kurosaki Ichigo.

Several figures suddenly appeared in the sight of Urahara Kisuke and Kurosaki Ichigo like ghosts. Their movements were swift and silent, as if they came from another dimension.

These people were either squatting or standing, with different postures, but they all exuded an indescribable sense of oppression, making people involuntarily feel a powerful aura.

There was even someone who tried to get close to Ichigo Kurosaki, but Ichigo Kurosaki anticipated and grabbed his wrist when he was about to put his arm around his shoulder.

"Hi, bro, nice to meet you. My name is Mako Hirako, and I'm the leader of this masked army..."

As the socially complacent Hirako Makoto spoke, she tried to get closer to Kurosaki Ichigo, wanting to have a more intimate contact, but found that her outstretched hand was firmly grasped by the other party with incredible speed and precision.

This sudden change made him stunned for a moment, and then he smiled brightly.

"Haha, little brother, your reaction speed is amazing! I am Mako Hirako, the leader of the Masked Army and the boss of this group of guys. Although we usually keep a low profile, Ichigo Kurosaki's name is well known to everyone!"

As Mako Hirako spoke, she tried to break free from Ichigo Kurosaki's hand, but found that the other party's strength was unusually firm. She couldn't help but nod secretly and had a deeper understanding of Ichigo Kurosaki's strength.

Ichigo Kurosaki loosened his hand, and his eyes swept over everyone one by one, finally fixing on the face of Makoto Hirako.

"Why did you come to see me?"

His voice was still calm, but the power contained in it could not be ignored.

Hirako Mako and other members of the Masked Corps then told them their purpose.

As Mako Hirako continued her narration, the atmosphere around her gradually became solemn.

Each member of the Masked Corps was a victim of Aizen's plan to turn the Death God into Hollows. Due to a trick of fate, they gained the power of Hollows, but also lost their original balance.

At this point, Hirako Mako's tone became heavy.

"This power is both a blessing and a curse. It makes us wander between life and death, unable to return to a normal life as a god of death. Worse still, this power is extremely violent, often threatening our sanity and lives. We have been looking for a way to control it, but have never been able to do so."

Aizen's ambition is to break through the limits of the God of Death and pursue a higher realm, but the path he chooses is to integrate the power of Hollow into himself.

But for Mako Hirako and others, they are still far away from the limit of the god of death, and even their own path is not clear yet. Why do they need such extreme transcendence?

What's more, the power of the void that merged into their bodies was not pure and flawless. Instead, it was as difficult to tame as a wild beast, making it difficult for them to grow in strength. At times, they would even regress due to the loss of control of their power.

Because of this, when they learned that Ichigo Kurosaki could not only coexist with the power of the Hollow, but could also use it for his own benefit and achieve true control, one can imagine their shock and desire.

They longed for answers from Ichigo Kurosaki, answers that would free them from their predicament and restore their power and balance.

"And you, Kurosaki Ichigo, you are the only one who can fully control the power of the Hollow and even transform it into his own power."

Facing everyone's expectations, Kurosaki Ichigo did not evade, but responded with an almost cold and straightforward response: "Rely on strength, beat it hard. If the instinct is disobedient, beat it with greater intensity and power until it completely surrenders and obeys your command. Of course, this is not a simple violent suppression, but requires you to gradually understand and master that power in every confrontation, and eventually make it a part of you."

"I don't understand." Mako Hirako was listening to something as if he was reading a foreign language. He felt that he was already a very talented person, otherwise he would not have been able to become a captain-level Shinigami.

But what Ichigo Kurosaki said was too mysterious.

"To put it simply: Instinct, I command you to obey me! Body, I command you to break through your limits! Strength, show me your teeth!!!"

Kurosaki Ichigo said calmly.

He could understand the lack of belief of Mako Hirako and others. Their will was not pure enough and they could not do "I believe, therefore I can".

The reason why they, the Berserkers, can do it is because they firmly believe that they can do it, so they can turn the impossible into possible and do things that are unimaginable in the eyes of others.

He paused, as if giving everyone some space to think.

"The reason you find it difficult is because you don't really believe you can do it. The reason why Berserkers can do this is because they have great faith and determination. They believe that as long as they are willing, nothing is impossible. This belief is the source of their strength."

It seemed that Mako Hirako and the others understood a little.

"The next step is to become a berserker. If you want, it's not impossible."

Ichigo Kurosaki looked at Mako Hirako and the others and felt that they had very good fruits.

Hirako Mako and the others were at a loss.

"Becoming a Berserker can completely unify the power of the Hollow within the body?"

The masked soldiers discussed for a while, and then Hirako Mako asked.

"You can say that a berserker controls all changes inside and outside his body with his pure and powerful will. No matter what it is, it will be controlled by the berserker."

Kurosaki Ichigo nodded.

This temptation is really impossible for Mako Hirako and others to resist.

Becoming a berserker seemed much better than becoming a Hollow.

Moreover, Urahara Kisuke asked them to come to Kurosaki Ichigo, not only to solve their problems, but also perhaps he wanted them to become berserkers.

Out of curiosity, Urahara Kisuke also wanted to know what a berserker was.

Ichigo Kurosaki then went on to tell them the source of the Berserker's power.

"All humans have a potential power. This power is an innate ability. Momentum, murderous intent, fighting spirit... When you manipulate these invisible feelings, willpower can be transformed into strength!"

"Will exists like instinct; however, most people are unaware of this power or never develop it in their lifetime."

"This kind of willpower is generally called fighting spirit, which is also the origin of the name Berserker."

Ichigo Kurosaki's words had a great impact on Mako Hirako and the others.
