Bleach: The Captain of the Fifth Division Becomes Stronger Through Training.

Chapter 335 344: You will rise with this, and you will fall with this
What are the limits of imagination?
Just regarding this question, perhaps it is a matter of fact, and there is no open ending with the same result for each person.

But for Gremi, there was only one answer to this question from beginning to end.

That is……

Everything I understand.

What you cannot imagine cannot be achieved by your own power.

Things that cannot be understood naturally cannot be touched by the power called "imagination".

Very simple theory.

An ant cannot imagine itself stepping on an elephant to death, right?

But... this theory is not absolute.

Gremi was deeply aware of this at this moment.

"If an ant cannot harm an elephant, it is simply because its cognition has always been limited to that level."

Human cognition is the limit of what one can reach.

Ants cannot imagine themselves harming elephants, but on the contrary...if ants realize their own power and deeply imagine their own strength.

Then.

Is the so-called "ant" really just an ant?
The answer may become unclear at this moment, but no matter what, Gremi has found his own path.

It is not the strengthening that is achieved through the Holy Communion, but a sense of relief similar to liberation.

Gremidt, who was bound and suppressed by Yhwach and unable to touch the outside world, understood this deeply.

So his first reaction after regaining mobility was.

It is to broaden your horizons.

"As long as you can understand the principles of things and clearly know the logic of their operation... then all that remains is the procedure of 'assembling' them together."

Gremi's figure slowly appeared in the air.

He was still wearing the clean white clothes, with a faint smile on his face.

At this moment, he looked down at the two people not far in front of him, without any emotion in his pupils.

It seemed that in his eyes, these were just two insignificant specks of dust, which he only needed to gently sweep away...

It's so exaggerated that you can just knock it down completely.

His gaze moved lightly from the two of them, and then looked towards a more distant direction.

This obvious act of "neglect" obviously made one of the parties involved not very satisfied.

Sal Apollo narrowed his eyes slightly.

He let out a soft "whoosh" and stroked his right hand in front of his body... and there appeared another doll exactly the same as Gremmy.

Obviously, the situation is still under his control, yet he can still say such confident words.

I don’t know if this guy has gone crazy or if it’s simply because my knowledge is too shallow?

unknown.

Sal Apollo simply raised his left hand as usual and pointed it lightly in front of him.

This time, start with your legs.

The puppet's two legs were twisted and torn as it spun, and finally turned into shattered powder.

How is it? With this level of injury, even if the pain is blocked, it will definitely affect the movement.

Sal Apollo raised his head with a grim smile, but was shocked to find that Gremi was just standing there calmly.

There was not the slightest sign of abnormality on his body, it was as if the replica doll in his hand had completely lost contact with the original.

"...?"

A little confused.

But more confusion followed, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly, so that his throat rolled...

There was a sound that sounded almost suspicious.

I don't understand.

Why do my abilities lose their effectiveness?

What's more...what kind of state is the other party in now?
"Is it difficult to understand?"

Gremmy's voice came from not far in front of him. The Arrancar looked up belatedly, only to see that the other party had turned his head back.

"Well, I guess you can't understand it either."

"After all, that's the gap in cognition."

"Now I... have reached a level that you cannot reach or touch."

Sal Apollo's abilities have not failed.

It's just that the individual who was once called 'Gremi' has now completely integrated himself into this world through conscious melting and contact.

To say something shameless.

At this moment, Gremidt is himself a manifestation of Soul Society.

"Unless you can destroy this entire world, otherwise... Oh, forget it. It's useless to explain it to you."

A feeling of condescending contempt.

It was as if Gremi was looking down upon the entire world, and at that moment he developed a state of mind that was close to 'divinity'.

He just looked down at him, so calmly...slowly.

He raised his right hand and gently pressed it in the direction of Sal Apollo.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi beside him seemed to want to say something.

But there was no time to speak.

Sal Apollo's body began to twist rapidly.

The crackling sound continued, and the body that was several meters tall was also deforming wildly at this moment.

It was as if there was an invisible force that was constantly tilting and pressing down on his body.

Sal Apollo let out a low roar uncontrollably, his entire body tense at this moment.

“Gahhhh…”

Gremi's brows raised uncontrollably.

Because he realized... things didn't seem as simple as he had imagined?

so hard.

That was what he was thinking at the moment.

Since he has become a part of Soul Society, he should be able to control the power of this part.

Nature also helps me.

The spirit particles floating in the air, the oxygen scattered in the air... simple, complex, all kinds of things are under Gremi's control, and are constantly spreading with the spread of perception.

He touched more things.

I also felt a more distinct power.

I understand... If he can achieve this level, he will be able to perform such a miraculous act like the Spirit King.

Gremi's thoughts froze at this moment. He opened his eyes, and a subtle smile appeared on his face, which showed neither joy nor sadness.

He is about to take action.

However, at this delicate moment.

However, he noticed the contemptuous expression on Kurotsuchi Mayuri's face not far away.

……

why?
At this point, why can this guy still look so confident?

Doesn't he know what level my strength has reached? Or has he simply given up on himself and given up on resistance?

With numerous thoughts swirling in his mind, Gremi's expression gradually became serious, and at this moment he silently extended his other hand.

He reached out in the direction of Kurotsuchi Mayuri.

According to normal theory, the correct solution is to take out one guy first and then target the rest.

But at this moment, there was an invisible impulse brewing in Gremi's heart.

It was as if a voice deep in his mind was roaring sharply, forcing him to take it seriously and begin to examine his own judgment.

This man...

It seemed that something unexpected was brewing. As part of the Soul Society's incarnation, Gremi did not think that the other party could still pose any threat to him.

That's how it should be.

But that's how the body starts to act.

——It doesn’t matter, it’s just like crushing an ant-like opponent.

Just as the person was comforting himself in this way.

Gremi saw...

His hands were slowly dissipating.

"...?"

what is this?
Gremi raised his hands in confusion, watching his body float up bit by bit and disappear into the air.

His expression gradually changed from confusion to panic.

He didn't understand what was happening, but his body was disappearing bit by bit... He couldn't accept it! This wasn't his own will.

stop!
A decisive and straightforward command.

But couldn't get any response at all.

Even Gremi's identity accelerated the process of collapse.

Just as countless invisible and intangible ants were constantly gnawing and eating his flesh, Gremi looked at his gradually disappearing figure, his expression completely frozen on his face.

Why why why...

"Don't you understand?"

It's as if he can read the other person's innermost thoughts.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri, who looked calm, was watching Gremidt, who looked dazed, from a distance, and spoke in a calm and uneventful tone.

"This is the price of wanting to touch the realm of God with the power of a mortal."

Human cognition is limited.

Most of the time, even if you have thought of something, you can turn your dream into reality through your own strength.

"But your ability is capable of doing this. This is actually very dangerous."

Gremi was very uneasy about Kurotsuchi Mayuri's calmness. He wanted to say something, but he could no longer control his body.

at this point.

He is just a 'listener' in a simple sense.

"Do you know why Yhwach sealed you away? He wasn't simply afraid of your power, but he wanted to curb your growth..."

After a pause, Kuroshio Mayuri spoke word by word.

"Slow down your march toward self-destruction."

Omniscience and omnipotence are two closely related abilities.

Because what you see is what you get, this is the extent that only God can do it.

And if one side can be achieved, but the other side is missing... this is definitely an 'unhealthy' situation.

“The thoughts that are sent out will never stop growing.”

"You will grow to that level sooner or later, unless you suddenly die for some reason..."

"After reaching this level, you will also face the end of your own destruction due to your own lack of ability."

Not alarmist.

Because someone who once betrayed Soul Society also proved this theory in a similar way.

"Arima Shizuka was well prepared at the time, and she turned the entire Seireitei into a backup spiritual pressure, which barely touched the edge of this ability."

even so.

The person involved also appeared to be in great pain.

This is the price of shouldering the responsibility of "inhuman" things with human will.

"how about you?"

"Without any preparation, I thought from the beginning that I could become a figure like the Spirit King."

"Is it just because of this ability to 'make dreams come true'? That's too ridiculous, isn't it? Listen carefully... the limit of human beings has never been the so-called cognitive ability."

But in another sense.

“Self-knowledge.”

Touch what you should touch, and grow within a well-planned and defined scope.

Like a disciplined and tidied potted plant.

If you want to 'unappreciatively' stretch your branches and leaves and touch places that are not allowed...

The only fate that will await you is to be cut off.

"Well, I'm afraid you won't understand even if I tell you too much."

The power within the three realms is a constant.

The Spirit King who has seen through the past, present, and future is the root of all things.

Since the other party has not made any judgment or arrangement towards you, then generally speaking... there is only one possibility left.

This guy's existence is not worth the Spirit King's attention at all.

Even to others today, Gremi's behavior seems as ridiculous as Don Quixote's desperate charge towards the windmill.

It is brave and fearless, firmly believes in its own strength and can overcome everything...

That's why it seems so funny and ridiculous at this moment.

It is a truly touching scene.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri sighed slightly.

He seemed to show an attitude close to 'pity' which was extremely rare, and at this moment he looked at Gremi who was gradually disappearing and facing collapse.

"If possible, someone like you can grow up well and become a force that can help the three realms."

"But there's nothing I can do... Your education and worldview are too narrow."

"Even if I do it myself, I am not sure how much it can change."

so.

Let's start over again.

It's like the 0 returning to chaos, and then the blank 1 is born from it.

Gremi's face was broken at the last moment. He looked deeply at the two people not far away and sighed in his heart.

I...

What did I do wrong?

Before it could condense, the brain separated from the body and fell straight down in the air.

Kuroshio Mayuri rushed forward and took it in his hand.

This is the brain that has the ability to make dreams come true, and it is also the true body of Gremi.

His body, his clothes, and even his appearance are all things imagined by this brain.

Like the theory of a brain in a vat.

This indeed aroused Kurobuta Mayuri's strong interest in him.

Staring at it, Kurotsuchi Mayuri couldn't help but let out a low groan.

——The power that arises from imagination will ultimately stop at the endless spread of imagination.

If you rise by this, you will surely fall by this.

Is this the end of the Quincy?
That's really...

"This is the most fitting ending for his character."

As he sighed, Sal Apollo straightened his back awkwardly.

As an Arrancar, his physical strength was not low, and it was for this reason that he was able to resist Gremeet's first wave of attacks.

I want to say something polite.

But there was no time to speak.

The flames rising into the sky have illuminated the entire Soul Society.
