Soul Supreme Starting from Death

While summarizing his experience in his mind, Gu Shi suddenly realized that the process of "gaining" his body was over, and what followed was a faint sense of loss, as if he had lost something in an instant.

Frowning unconsciously, Gu Shi carefully examined his body, mind, and memory, trying to find out what he had lost, but found nothing.

Both his body and mind remain intact, except for his memories. Because he "can't remember what memories he has lost", he is not sure whether he has forgotten anything.

He was very sure that he had lost something, but he couldn't find out what it was. This feeling made Gu Shi unconsciously irritated.

"Perhaps you should take a look at this?"

Just when Gu Shi's irritability was growing, Stark's voice, with a hint of surprise, suddenly sounded in his ear. Looking in the direction Stark pointed, Gu Shi's pupils contracted instantly, and he subconsciously suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes.

In Gu Shi's vision, a cold iron chain had emerged from the hollow hole in the chest of the unconscious Arrancar lying on the ground. The chain was like a living snake, constantly drilling in and out of his hollow hole, twisting and turning.

"…The lock of cause and effect?"

Gu Shi said the name of the chain in a daze, and at the same time he finally understood why he was sure that he had lost something, but found nothing after checking, because the thing he lost did not belong to him in the first place, but was the chain of cause and effect that he had absorbed.

Stark obviously also knew the Chain of Causation. He nodded slightly to agree with Gu Shi's guess, but his eyes were fixed on the hollow hole in the Spider's Mask. He was unwilling to move his gaze away even a little bit, because the changes there had not stopped.

As the chain of cause and effect continued to twist, it gradually split apart and turned into more and thinner chains, which, like weaving, formed a gradually tighter net at the entrance of the empty cave.

As the web took shape, the chaotic aura of the Hollow on the Spider Arrancar's body was actually fading rapidly. If he used clothes and a scarf to cover the remaining bone armor on his neck and the web woven by the chains on his chest, he would look like an ordinary soul that had just died not long ago.

Theoretically speaking, the reason why ordinary souls become empty is because the Chain of Causality is completely worn out, forming an empty hole. If the empty hole is blocked with the Chain of Causality again, it is not impossible to change back... right?

Stark subconsciously moved his fingers a few times. He wanted to try what would happen if he tore the net apart. Would it become a Hollow again? After becoming a Hollow, would it become an ordinary Hollow or an Arrancar?

Staring at the Spider Arrancar that was still changing, Stark slowly spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Gu Shi, I suddenly have a bold idea."

"What a coincidence, me too."

Gu Shi also stared at the Spider Arrancar intently, and nodded slightly with a sense of nervousness as if he was about to touch a taboo. His voice was even hoarseer than Stark's.

"So, let's talk about it together?"

"Well, let's talk about it together."

The two nodded slightly and spoke at the same time.

"Stuff him into a living person's body to revive him!"

"Send him to Soul Society as a Shinigami!"

...?

...?

Stark and Gu Shi slowly turned their heads and looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. They didn't understand what was going on in the other's brain to come up with such an outrageous idea.

Chapter 125: Long-cherished Wishes and Nonsense

"No, no, no, this is not right! What a weird idea to let Daxu be the god of death, Gu Shi, look! He has become no different from an ordinary soul. Shouldn't we think about giving him a body and bringing him back to life?"

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Stark couldn't help it and protested loudly against Gu Shi's weird train of thought.

Stark couldn't stand it, and Gu Shi couldn't stand it even more. He retorted with a momentum that was no weaker than Stark's.

"Stark, your idea is really weird, isn't it? Why do you think he can be resurrected? According to what you said, can the soul of a newly dead person be resurrected just by entering the body of a living person? It's impossible no matter how you think about it!"

After refuting Stark's argument, Gu Shi then began to explain his own thoughts.

"You said it yourself. He is now no different from an ordinary soul who just died. Why can't he sneak into Soul Society and become a Shinigami?"

"Observe, Gu Shi, you have to observe."

After all, Stark's character was forged through a hundred years of solitude. With just a few words, he adjusted his emotions and regained his composure. He pointed at the Spider Arrancar who hadn't woken up yet and spoke earnestly.

"Look carefully. Although he looks like an ordinary soul, his spiritual pressure has not weakened at all. With his soul strength, as long as he gets into the body of a living person, he will definitely be able to squeeze out the original owner of the body and seize control of the body. Doesn't this count as resurrection?"

Stark's calm voice calmed Gu Shi down a lot. He took a deep breath and was about to continue to refute when he suddenly reacted and nodded in realization.

"I see, Stark, you want to be resurrected yourself, right?"

The body is the protection of the soul. A living body can effectively prevent the soul from degenerating into nothingness. At the same time, the body is also a bondage to the soul. Without the special skills of a Quincy or a Fullbringer, no matter how powerful the soul of a living person is or how surging the spiritual power is, it is difficult to show anything special.

Just like Ichigo Kurosaki, his spiritual power is even stronger than some captain-level Shinigami, but after losing his Shinigami power in the battle with Aizen, he had a huge amount of spiritual power but was unable to use it. He could only transform his spiritual power into strength again by learning the Fullbring.

Stark's greatest wish is to find a partner who is strong enough, or in other words, a partner who will not be accidentally killed by his spiritual pressure. If he can be resurrected and hide his soul in the constraints of the body, perhaps he will not have to worry about the hidden danger of spiritual pressure leaking out and destroying all living things around him.

It is no wonder that Stark, as a hundreds-year-old Hollow, should have no attachment to anything in his life, but he still thought of resurrection as soon as he discovered the changes in the Spider Arrancar.

However, Gu Shi was not optimistic about Stark's conjecture. Not to mention that his theory of resurrection was simple, crude and outrageous, and there was no possibility of its realization, just his outrageous spiritual pressure made Gu Shi seriously doubt that even if he was resurrected in this way, he would quickly destroy his new body.

After all, his spiritual pressure that was enough to crush Vastod to death could not be restrained by a mere physical body.

Stark, whose thoughts were guessed by Gu Shi, fell silent. As his excitement subsided, he actually realized that it was unlikely that an ordinary person's body could restrain his spiritual pressure.

However, Stark did not intend to give up. The possibility was small, but there was still a possibility of success, right? As long as there was a possibility of success, he was willing to spend time and energy to try.

It was as if he clearly didn't believe that people could live on the stars, but he still agreed to Gu Shi's bet to visit his friend on the stars three hundred years later.

Stark was silent, and Gu Shi was also silent. He knew that since the matter was related to Stark's long-cherished wish, Stark would not give up easily, and there was no point in persuading him.

"...Gu Shi, you have to get stronger quickly."

After a while, Stark was the first to break the silence.

In the process of turning the Arrancar back into an ordinary soul, Gu Shi's absorption of the Arrancar's Zanpakuto is obviously an extremely important step. Now Gu Shi is just Killian. If he absorbs Stark's Zanpakuto, there will be no other possibility except to explode immediately.

According to Stark's estimation, it would probably take until Gu Shi became the top Vastod before he could barely absorb his Zanpakutō.

Now, even if he desperately wanted to be resurrected, he did not have sufficient conditions.

"Don't worry, I will. If I can help you, I will definitely not refuse."

Gu Shi nodded and made a solemn promise.

It is not so easy to achieve Vastod. According to Gu Shi’s own estimation, if he wants to evolve into Vastod, it will take him at least one or two hundred years.

By that time, it will be the end of the 20th century in the human world, and cloning technology will have long been mature. Finding someone to clone a soulless body for Stark to use as a "coat" can not only reduce the difficulty of Stark's "resurrection", but also prevent Stark from randomly killing a lucky passerby.

Although Gu Shi only hates cannibalism and is not averse to killing people, he killed a group of bandits on the first day of his time travel. But in the end, it is better not to kill people if possible, so as not to erode his already precarious humanity.

After calming Stark's emotions with his promise, Gu Shi changed the topic and started talking about his own ideas again.

"So, after all, it would be better to send him to Soul Society, right?"

Stark wanted to say that even if he couldn't try to resurrect for the time being, he should still use this Spider Arrancar to do an experiment first. But then he remembered that Gu Shi still had more than 20 blue crystals. If he wanted to do an experiment, he could just create a few more Arrancars. There was no need to hold on to the Spider Arrancar. So he stopped arguing with Gu Shi and just shook his head helplessly.

"...Gu Shi, what on earth are you thinking? Is there any point in sending an Arrancar to be a Shinigami?"

Of course it makes sense. At least if we have spies in Soul Society, we can get intelligence from Soul Society in time. Once a Shinigami disappears and only leaves his clothes, I will know that Aizen has started to act, and I can hide in the real world in time to avoid being captured by Aizen and filling his Hunchback Palace.

Unable to speak out the answer in his heart, Gu Shi could only put on a serious look and start talking nonsense in a serious manner.

"Of course it makes sense, it means we can learn from them. You should be able to feel that the spiritual power stability of the Arrancar is much higher than that of the Hollow. If we practice hard, we may be able to learn the Kidō.

“As long as the people we send to Soul Society can steal back all the techniques of the Shinigami, such as the Kidō and barrier techniques, we might be able to create the Gotei 13 of Hueco Mundo.

"Even if we run into trouble and can't get away, weak companions like Lilinette can still be effectively protected. Isn't this significant enough?"

Gu Shi spoke righteously, but in his heart he just thought he was talking nonsense. If he created a power in Hueco Mundo, he would definitely end up like Bylergan, who was beaten up and subdued by Aizen in front of a group of his younger brothers when Aizen conquered Hueco Mundo.

Therefore, it is better to move freely with a group of friends and retreat decisively when Aizen arrives.

Chapter 126 Despicable Killian

The idea of ​​forming the 13th Division in Hueco Mundo was just a random reason that Gu Shi made up, but when Stark heard it, he was actually quite tempted.

For him who is looking for partners and companionship, if he can join an organization, or create an organization with others and form a "group" with others, it will undoubtedly be a very good experience and will make him feel like he has found his "home".

[Perhaps, instead of looking for other powerful lone wolves, forming and training your own wolf pack is also a good choice? ]

Thinking about it this way, Stark no longer opposed Gu Shi's idea, but simply pointed out the biggest problem with this idea.

"The person sent undercover must be trustworthy enough. This spider has no loyalty at all."

Gu Shi would certainly not ignore such a basic question. However, although the state of the hollow hole being blocked by the causal web made the Spider Arrancar appear to be the same as an ordinary soul in their perception, it was still unknown whether it could be concealed from the Soul Society. Perhaps there were special inspection methods there that could identify the undercover agent at once?

Therefore, before sending reliable people to Soul Society, we must first find a few cannon fodder to test the waters.

It would be best to go to the real world first, find a Shinigami stationed in the real world, and perform the scene of the evil Hollow chasing after an "ordinary soul" to see if the other party can see through the problem. If not, let the other party rescue the person and see if the "ordinary" Arrancar can be soul-buried.

Although it is not difficult to open the Black Chamber to other places in Soul Society as long as it does not go straight to the Shinigami headquarters of Seireitei, it is still a flaw after all. It would be best if the undercover could follow the regular process and go to Soul Society through the Soul Burial Passage.

Gu Shi explained his ideas in detail. Stark thought about it carefully and felt that there was no problem, so he nodded.

"Since they are cannon fodder, it is better to prepare a few more."

Stark had never heard of words like cannon fodder before, but as he spent more time with Gu Shi, he had become very proficient in using them, and he quite liked these words.

Because, in the eyes of Stark, who had never actually seen a cannon, although they were essentially describing the same thing, in terms of intuitive feeling, cannon fodder at least sounded milder than sacrifice or abandoned pawn.

"Well, since there will be more cannon fodder later, then this one is not that important, right? Speaking of which, how old is Lilinette now?"

Gu Shi had no objection to adding cannon fodder. While responding to Stark's words, his claws reached out to the Spider Arrancar's chest.

The next moment, Stark immediately appeared next to the Spider Arrancar, and before Gu Shi could do so, he hooked his finger and tore into pieces the web woven by the chain of karma on the Spider Arrancar's chest.

For a fundamentalist Hollow like Stark who is hundreds of years old, he has long been accustomed to the fact that "Hollows must have Holes". Therefore, when he saw the Hollow hole of the Spider Arrancar being blocked, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable in his heart. That feeling was even stranger than seeing someone with two heads.

In Stark's eyes, the web was not a web at all, but a big red button with "Don't Press" written on it. If he hadn't been talking about serious business before and hadn't yet determined the use of the Spider Arrancar, he would have been unable to hold back.

Now that the serious business is over, Gu Shi, the despicable Killian, actually wants to use Lilinette to distract his attention and take action before him. Fortunately, his strength is far superior to Gu Shi. Even if his attention is really distracted for a moment, his movements are still much faster than Gu Shi.

The corners of Gu Shi's eyes twitched a few times, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Stark, you have to be so exaggerated. It's such a small matter, but you even used the ringing device."

Stark grinned and successfully tore apart the net that covered the virtual hole. He was in an extremely happy mood and had no intention of arguing with Gu Shi at all. He just thought that Gu Shi was just sour grapes because he couldn't eat them.

As the Web of Causation was torn apart, the Spider Arrancar's aura quickly began to change again, and in the blink of an eye it turned back into a pure Arrancar, seemingly unharmed by the act.

[…It seems that although his aura has changed, the spiritual power in his body should still be that of an Arrancar. In this case, even if he really sneaks into the Shinou Spiritual Arts Academy, it is unlikely that he will be able to become stronger by practicing as a Shinigami.]

[From a lurking perspective, this may not be a bad thing. Students who "have exhausted their potential and cannot become stronger, have poor control over their spiritual power, and cannot even release their Zanpakutō" should only be able to become the most basic members of the Shinigami team after graduation, and will not be noticed by the captains and vice-captains. In this way, the risk of being exposed is greatly reduced.]

After thinking quickly in his mind, Gu Shi reached out and grabbed Spider Mask who had not yet woken up. After a slight hesitation, he twisted his neck with force.

The Spider Arrancar was just a small Hollow and did not have talents like super-fast regeneration. Once its neck was broken, it immediately lost its breath. Its corpse began to slowly dissipate and turned into pure spirit particles that dispersed into heaven and earth.

After confirming that Spider Mask was really dead, Gu Shi closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in his body. He opened his eyes after a moment and nodded, not sure whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied.
