I Am a Heroic Spirit

Accompanied by countless ardent gazes and gorgeous praises, Mary laughed happily and opened her hands wide in response to the cheers of the people.

"I like you too!"

Someone shouted in the crowd, and the fiery emotion left no doubt about the truth of the words.

"We like you too!"

Perhaps because of the guidance of the first person, a wave of enthusiasm suddenly arose among the crowd. They cheered loudly, waved their arms, and loudly expressed their love, as if they had seen their favorite idol.

"Do you like me too? Okay, then let's shout together... Long live France!" Mary's face was filled with a happy smile. She waved her arms and shouted loudly with joy.

The people at the train station cheered together: "Long live Fasilan!"

Mary shouted, "Again! Long live Fasilan!"

The people then shouted, "Long live Fasilan!"

"Long live Fasilan!"

"Long live Fasilan!"

……

For a moment, the train station was filled with the cheers of people and Mary.

"A completely unexpected scene." Dion muttered to himself.

"Isn't this natural? Our princess is just as beautiful as she is." Samson also smiled and shouted, "Long live Fasilan!"

"Yes, this is my beloved princess," Dion also smiled and cheered with the jubilant Marie: "Long live Fasilan!"

Inside the train station, which resembled a celebrity concert, laughter and cheers of "Viva Fasilan" filled the air. Reporters, who were broadcasting live, dropped their work and joined in the cheers. Only a small area remained silent.

"It's horrible! Is this a cult preaching site? The emotions are abnormally excited." Conan said solemnly. Even he, who was always calm, shouted "Long live Fasilan" twice.

"It's truly bizarre! Even if Queen Mary had a voice as sweet as heaven, stunning beauty, a flawless figure, and a temperament so beautiful that no one could harbor hostility, and even a woman like me couldn't harbor jealousy... it's impossible for her to create such a heated scene." Though Ikumi Gunda remained calm, her eyes followed Mary's movements, and she couldn't utter a single word. It was obvious she was affected.

"It's probably the skill of a Heroic Spirit." Hattori Heiji lowered his head, not looking at Mary, and recalled carefully. "I remember that Heroic Spirits all have unique skills, which are the result of their abilities in life and the people's perception of them after death. Although they are not as important as Noble Phantasms, they cannot be ignored, just like the innocent monsters possessed by Andersen and Vlad III."

"This Princess Marie is known as the most beautiful Austrian princess. She was loved at first sight by the six-year-old Mozart when she was only seven years old. She also led the people of France. It is normal for her to have skills such as inspiring leadership and skills related to the sublimation of beauty." Hakuba Tante narrowed his eyes slightly and did not look directly at Princess Marie. He was also worried that he would be infected and do something embarrassing like Mouri Kogoro.

Thinking of this, Hakuba glanced at Maori Kogoro next to him, only to see that guy showing a perverted smile, jumping up and down and cheering loudly, and you could vaguely see saliva flowing from the corner of Maori Kogoro's mouth.

"How terrifying! He's not a capable Heroic Spirit, yet he's so dangerous!"

In the crowd not far from the detectives, Gin, dressed in black, looked at the excited Princess Mary with fear and muttered to himself.

On the Internet, although it is still busy time after get off work or after school, many people are already watching the live broadcast of Karakura Town online. After all, it is a rare sight to see the five great detectives gathered together.

This live broadcast did not disappoint any audience. Although they did not see the detectives' deciphering and reasoning, they did see a supernatural battle and the appearance of the perfect Princess Mary and the Beautiful Knight.

"It's such a terrifying charm that it makes it impossible for anyone to even feel wary or hostile."

In all the live videos, amidst the barrage of comments saying "Long live Fasilan", this sentence flashed by without attracting any attention.

The enthusiastic atmosphere and enthusiastic audiences also caused some people to start worrying, such as the Japanese government.

Even through the screen, it took a lot of effort and energy for them to resist Mary's charm, not to mention the people who saw Mary with their own eyes. And it was obvious that this charm was released unconsciously by Princess Mary, rather than actively.

Japanese government officials were really worried that the famous French-loving Queen Marie would be able to use her own charm to separate a piece of French territory from Japan. If she really did that, they would have no way to deal with the heroic spirits.

At this time, the Japanese government had begun to consider whether to conduct diplomatic relations with the French government and invite the charming Queen Marie back to France. Although the queen was obviously a kind person, they really could not tolerate her staying in Japan to develop territory for France.

On the contrary, the French side has established a support group for Princess Marie, led by the French government. In less than two minutes, millions of people have joined the group. The official website of the support group has collapsed. As the official website was repaired, more and more French people spontaneously joined Princess Marie.

Chapter 228 Will the Quincy destroy the balance of the world?

……

"Even if our ideas run counter to each other, when battling multiple people, success depends on fighting back to back."

With his back to Ishida Uryu, Kurosaki Ichigo spoke to himself. A hollow pounced towards Kurosaki Ichigo from the sky, but was pierced by a blue spiritual arrow.

"Yes, that's it."

Ichigo Kurosaki swung his sword with all his might, cutting off the tentacles of a Hollow that stretched out from the corner towards Uryu Ishida.

"Don't get me wrong, if we don't join forces, I will be dealt with myself." Ishida Uryu said coldly.

"That's enough. If I don't take action, I will be killed. But it's difficult to do it alone, so there's no other way. Isn't it good to think like this? This is the reason to fight side by side." Ichigo Kurosaki smiled on his bloodstained face.

"Fighting side by side with the god of death? It's totally unimaginable." Ishida Uryu's voice was still as cold, but the fingers of the hand that shot the arrow had been deeply cracked by the bowstring. Just looking at it was painful.

"Regarding the hatred you mentioned before, I heard Longgui talk about it when I came here just now." Ichigo Kurosaki's voice became heavy.

"Arisawa? You are just a substitute god of death, right?" Ishida Uryu perked up, turned his head slightly, and asked Arisawa Ryuki behind him.

"I have another way to get information. Although I don't know if it's true, I have read about Quincy in the records about Shinigami."

Arisawa Ryuki made an upward thrust, and the blade separated the hollow's body, while he spoke loudly.

"In Soul Society, the Shinigami are called balancers, meaning balance. The number of souls released into Soul Society and the human world is the same, and souls travel back and forth between the two worlds. The Shinigami are responsible for managing these souls. But then the Quincies appeared. Because their friends and relatives were eaten by Hollows, the Quincies were unwilling to send the Hollows back to Soul Society so easily, so they completely eliminated the Hollows. This means that souls in the human world cannot return to Soul Society. This will cause the balance between the two worlds to deviate. If left unchecked, the two worlds will lose balance and be completely destroyed."

"The Shinigami and the Quincies communicated many times, hoping to find a better solution, but the Quincies were stubborn and refused to accept any suggestions. Finally, Soul Society issued an order to exterminate the Quincies, and war broke out between the two sides. The outcome was obvious: the Quincies were exterminated, with only a handful surviving."

However, although he said this, Arisawa Ryuki, who was concentrating on fighting the besieged Hollows, was also very skeptical about this statement. Although there was nothing wrong on the surface, there were too many loopholes upon closer inspection.

First, can a Quincy truly completely destroy a soul? With so many people with special abilities in the world, I've only ever heard of people being able to scatter souls, but never of anyone being able to completely destroy a soul. Even if there are, they're definitely rare, and they're usually top-tier masters. Yet, every Quincy possesses this ability. How is that possible?

Also, the profession of Quincy is inherited from generation to generation, which means that as long as there is still a Quincy in existence, the number of Quincies will continue to grow. So why would Soul Society allow the survivors of the Quincy who destroyed the balance of the world to continue to survive?

Moreover, even if the Quincy has the ability to destroy Reishi, the Quincy has such a long history, and the Soul Society has existed for more than a thousand years. Why didn't the Soul Society raise any opinions to the Quincy before, but instead started talking about affecting the balance two hundred years ago? If it really would cause such serious consequences, the Quincy should have been exterminated long ago, and the world would have lost balance long ago.

"My impression is that the last Quincy was Ishida Sogen, who should be your grandfather. When he was still alive, he proposed more than once to fight alongside the Shinigami to defeat the Hollows. He even proposed that when facing a Hollow, he should only attack the Hollow's limbs, allowing the Shinigami to deliver the final blow, which would allow the soul to return to Soul Society. However, because of the war 200 years ago, the Soul Society did not trust him and rejected his proposals every time. However, because of this, the Soul Society gradually relaxed its surveillance of him. Later, one day, the Soul Society suddenly received intelligence that a Hollow had suddenly attacked him, but when the reinforcements arrived, it was too late."

After a pause, Arisawa Ryuki added, "This is what is recorded."

"That was all centuries ago. I don't care about the war that's long since ended. I just want to prove to the Shinigami the power of the Quincies, to prove that those Shinigami who refused to accept my grandfather's advice to join forces were wrong. I want to prove that the Quincies are no less powerful than the Shinigami."

Ishida Uryu said indignantly, but his hands never stopped moving. He was numb from shooting and didn't even feel the pain from the wound.

"To be honest, Soul Society is indeed in the wrong, but we are not Soul Society's Shinigami." Arisawa Ryuki reminded them not to put the blame on Soul Society.

"... Ishida, have you ever thought that what your grandfather most wanted... wasn't actually for the Shinigami to recognize the Quincies' strength! But to fight together with the Shinigami, wasn't it?!" Kurosaki Ichigo was silent for a long time, gazing at the group of Hollows in front of him, and said seriously, "Just like us now, this is your grandfather's wish."

"..." Ishida Uryu also fell silent. Blue arrows shot out from his hands one after another, destroying a large number of Hollows. He finally said, "Perhaps, perhaps, you are right."

-

Not far away, Urahara Kisuke, Tessai Kuchiki, Rukia Kuchiki, and Orihime Inoue were watching the fight.

Unlike the nervous states of Rukia Kuchiki and Orihime Inoue, Tessai Kujira was calm, and Kisuke Urahara was leisurely fanning himself with a small fan, watching the battle on the hill with amusement.

It's still a little bit lacking. After all, if it's not his own sword, he won't be able to unleash his strongest power. He needs to let them both have their own swords.

Urahara Kisuke thought to himself.

"Hey! Urahara! Why are you still standing here?" Rukia Kuchiki shouted angrily at Kisuke Urahara.

"Hey hey hey? If I don't stand here, where else should I be? I'm just an ordinary businessman. I don't have the courage to get involved in such a big scene." Urahara Kisuke said stupidly.

"An ordinary merchant? An ordinary merchant can sell Death God supplies? What on earth do you want to do! Long Gui and the others are about to be unable to hold on!"

Urahara Kisuke's appearance directly angered Kuchiki Rukia. She even began to doubt Urahara Kisuke. After all, the Hollow bait crushed by Ishida Uryuu could not possibly attract so many Hollows. The only person in the entire Karakura Town who had such ability was the unfathomable store manager Urahara in front of her.

Kisuke Urahara covered half of his face with a small fan and was about to say something when he suddenly looked in another direction.

An elegant warrior holding a long sword strolled among the group of people, coming from afar, waving the long sword in his hand like flowing water. Although it looked like a long weapon that was difficult to use, in the hands of the warrior it was like his own arm, dancing according to the master's orders.

Wherever they passed, no Xu could escape the fate of being killed.

"Such rare swordsmanship! It's hard to believe that we could actually witness such wonderful swordsmanship. It makes me want to write a poem to commemorate it."

A middle-aged man in green clothes, holding a heavy book in his hands, walked behind the warrior, slowly passing through the group of hollows, but did not launch even a single attack. Instead, he spoke to himself in a chanting tone.

"So, would you, the elegant person for whom we write this poem, be willing to tell me how you feel now? I want to hear your feelings."

"Are you asking about my mood? I just want you to be quiet for a while. You know, although I am a saber, I am just a samurai. I am still not good at dealing with these huge monsters." The samurai smiled bitterly and said in a calm tone.

"Be quiet? That won't do. As a dramatist, how can I resist the surge of inspiration when such a dramatic scene is before my eyes? Why don't you tell me more about your feelings? I believe that after listening to them, you will be able to create a better masterpiece." The middle-aged man who claimed to be a dramatist shook his head and said in an exaggerated tone and expression.

"Could this existence, which is similar to that of a god of death but completely different, be the legendary heroic spirit?" Urahara Kisuke's gaze shifted from the battle on the hill to the two people who were passing through the group of Hollows not far from the hill.

He had personally seen many heroic spirits, so he could naturally tell whether these two people were heroic spirits.

I think they were attracted here by the rioting Hollows. Karakura Town is one of the few sacred places in Japan, so it is not surprising that Heroic Spirits would appear.

Urahara Kisuke thought so.

The samurai swung the long sword in his hand freely. When Urahara Kisuke's gaze fell on him, he sensitively discovered this gaze that was not obvious to ordinary people. The samurai turned his head slightly and looked at Urahara Kisuke. With a kind smile on his face, he nodded to Urahara Kisuke.

"Heroic Spirit? A being that appeared in the last six months?"

Rukia Kuchiki also discovered the reinforcements coming from afar. She breathed a sigh of relief and began to investigate the identities of the people.

She had often heard of Heroic Spirits, whether at school or elsewhere. Legends of Heroic Spirits were everywhere, seemingly legendary figures from human history whose souls ascended after death, like Fuma Kotaro or Miyamoto Musashi. As for ordinary human souls, they came to Soul Society, like herself.

However, no matter what, the arrival of these two heroic spirits is a very good thing. At least we don’t have to worry about Ryuki Arisawa and the others getting into trouble.

Further away, behind a bungalow, Yoko Okino hid with her assistant, driver, and photographer, filming everything they saw and heard.

"How amazing! He looks like a high school student, but he can kill so many monsters." Yoko Okino exclaimed.

"For those with special abilities, common sense cannot constrain them, just like the Onmyoji who appeared in Area 11 last time. He only looks like a junior high school student, but even the Heroic Spirits dare not look down on him." The photographer gave an example, his eyes fixed on the battle in the distance, never moving away.

"Who are those two? Are they also users with special abilities?" The assistant spotted the two people in the group and pointed towards the center of the group. "That warrior looks quite powerful, but the one holding the book doesn't seem to have any special abilities."

"Hmm?" Yoko Okino looked over and her eyes lit up the moment she saw the samurai. With such an elegant posture and artistic swordsmanship, he was simply the perfect man in her mind.

"That's not entirely certain. It could be a Heroic Spirit, like a writer-type Heroic Spirit like Andersen. He doesn't have strong combat capabilities, but he does have other special abilities. In that sense, it really fits the image of a writer-type Heroic Spirit," said the photographer.

"Can you tell which writer it is?" the assistant asked curiously.

"I don't know much about foreign writers, Ms. Okino, can you tell?" said the photographer.

"How can I tell if I can't even see his face? Even a detective needs basic clues to make inferences." Okino Yoko glanced at the dramatist and quickly returned her gaze to the samurai.

Chapter 229 Kuchiki Rukia's Suspicion

Suddenly, the sky was torn apart, and a pitch-black crack hung in the sky. A pair of huge white arms stretched out from it, pulling the two sides of the crack, stretching and expanding it continuously. Within a few seconds, the crack extended from the sky to the ground, turning into a huge portal, and a terrifying aura leaked out of it.

The black crack in the sky was like a black hole, attracting the void around the crack.

"what is that?!"

Ichigo Kurosaki looked at the crack in the distant sky in shock. A huge figure wearing a white mask was moving out from inside. If you look closely, you will find that there are not one but two Hollows about to appear. As for whether there will be more behind, there is no way of knowing.

"What a huge monster!"

Yoko Okino exclaimed in horror, saying that with such a huge body, it could destroy a town just by walking.

"Stop sighing, hurry up, the monster is coming out soon, get out of its way."

The photographer acted decisively, shouldering his camera and running to the right to avoid being caught. The driver, assistant, and Yoko Okino quickly followed, not even daring to start the car because they were worried that the sound of the car starting up would attract the attention of the Hollow.

"What's going on? Rukia! Look!" Orihime Inoue was frightened by the undisguised evil spiritual pressure on the Hollow. She took two steps back and pointed tremblingly at the Hollow in the distance, half of its body was exposed, and asked Rukia Kuchiki.

"How is this possible? It's actually a Hollow!" Rukia Kuchiki shouted in horror, her words full of disbelief!

Urahara Kisuke also became serious. He was only half a step away from becoming Killian of Achukas, and there were two of them. Was it Aizen who did it?

It seems that I can’t continue watching the show.

Urahara Kisuke made up his mind and headed towards the hill with Tessai Nagiriya, Jinta Hanakari and Yasame.

"Are you finally going to take action?"

Seeing Urahara Kisuke leave, Kuchiki Rukia felt relieved. Although she didn't know Urahara Kisuke's true identity, she knew this mysterious profiteer must be a vice-captain, or even captain, and also have connections to Soul Society. Otherwise, he couldn't have sold Shinigami items in the human world for so long without being captured by Soul Society.

"It's huge! This is impossible! What's going on? The bait I used doesn't have such a big effect. No, I should say that all the fake baits I have combined can't create such an attraction!"

In the center of the Hollow group, Ishida Uryu also discovered the existence of the Hollow. His body began to tremble, and despair surged in his heart, slowing down his shooting speed.

"Damn it! These trash!" Looking at the swarm of Hollows that were still pouring in around him, and then looking at the two giant Hollows in the distance that were emitting a terrifying aura, Ichigo Kurosaki cursed unwillingly, gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, and wanted to rush out.

"Damn it! Why did a Hollow Killian appear in the human world? And what is Soul Society doing right now? Why hasn't anyone come to support us? Are we going to die like Ishida's grandfather because Soul Society arrived a little late?"

Arisawa Ryuki shouted angrily like thunder, and her anger made the movement of her sword become heavier and heavier. A hollow rushed towards her and was cut into four pieces by Arisawa Ryuki's quickly swung sword.

"Da da da da da da da..."

At this moment, continuous gunfire rang out, and a large area was cleared in the Hollows. Nearly a hundred Hollows were completely wiped out in the space of a few seconds. Through the scattered Hollows, Ichigo Kurosaki saw the helper coming from the periphery. A little girl with twin ponytails, holding a strange gun and weapon bound with bandages, named Yu Yu.

"Hello everyone!" Xiaoyu put down the gun on his shoulder and greeted everyone on the hill in a weak voice.

"Jinta Home Run!"
