I Am a Heroic Spirit

"Of course not. Didn't you see that? The man's identity is too obvious!"

"Is it obvious? Can someone please explain it to me?"

"First, Dion called the man a pervert and angrily told him to get out of Vienna. This means that the man was a musician in Vienna at the same time as Queen Marie. His abilities also reflect this. He also did something to Queen Marie that Dion considered very perverted. Otherwise, Dion wouldn't be so angry."

"Secondly, the mask of Amadeus is also a very obvious clue. Amadeus may be unfamiliar to many people, but to music lovers, Americans, French, and other foreigners, he is very familiar."

"Amadeus is a film directed by American director Milos Forman. It tells the legendary life of musical prodigy Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It was released ten years ago, in 1984, and won eight Academy Awards in 1985, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Costume Design, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Art Direction, Best Makeup, and Best Sound."

"So, this man known as the Mask of Amadeus is the famous Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It is said that when he was six years old, Mozart played his best piece, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, for the Queen. The Queen asked him what he wanted to do.

Chapter 233 The End of the Battle

The dragon's breath flames that were over a thousand degrees Celsius disappeared in an instant, and the pale spiritual pressure replaced the dragon's breath and covered the sky, causing layers of spiritual power storms that did not subside for a long time.

The red dragon's body began to tremble because its dragon power was suppressed. Although it was not a high-level dragon species, it was not a wyvern either. The red dragon was crushed by the spiritual pressure erupting from its dragon breath.

"hold head high!"

It couldn't stand all this, the red dragon was angry, stretched out its neck, and let out a high and continuous dragon roar, protesting to the hollow at the center of the spiritual pressure.

The deafening roar of a dragon resounded through the sky, and visible ripples spread out in all directions from the red dragon.

Suddenly, a black afterimage rushed out from the center of the erupting spiritual pressure, passed through the red dragon's body as fast as lightning, and stopped ten meters behind the red dragon, revealing its true form. An eagle with wings as strong as steel and a body larger than the red dragon was circling in the sky, making a shrill cry.

Afterwards, the red dragon still maintained its original posture, with its ferocious dragon head facing the center of spiritual pressure, its dragon breath boiling in its fang-filled mouth, and its huge body leaning forward, as if it would rush out at the next moment.

"Crack——"

A strange sound came from the red dragon's body. The next moment, the red dragon's body split in half, and scarlet blood spilled onto the ground from the crack in the middle of the red dragon.

The grass began to burn under the erosion of dragon blood, and the raging fire turned the grass into scorched earth.

"Damn it! He killed the Red Dragon so easily. Is he the protagonist in some novel? He exploded at the critical moment."

Facing the powerful spiritual pressure covering him from the sky, Arisawa Ryuki bent over and glared angrily at the eagle circling in the sky, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Even if we join forces, there is no possibility of victory against an enemy of this level." Ishida Uryu half-knelt on the grass, saying in shock and anger.

"Damn it!"

Ichigo Kurosaki used his Soul Zanto to support his body, but he was still unable to stand up under the spiritual pressure that Yachukas could not reasonably control.

"Achukas? It actually evolved." A trace of worry flashed in Urahara Kisuke's eyes. If Achukas appeared in the real world and was destroyed, it would definitely attract many captains to appear in the real world.

The plan was disrupted at the very beginning.

"Oh oh oh! What a dramatic scene. It seems that I have come to the right place this time." Shakespeare looked at the scene in the sky with shining eyes, holding a pen in his hand, writing and drawing on the thick leather book.

"Urahara Kisuke, won't you help? Or are you no match for that Hollow?"

Rukia Kuchiki asked Urahara Kisuke in a furious tone. Although she didn't know the level of the Hollow, she was certain of one thing: there was no chance that Arisawa Ryuki and the others could escape from its power. If no one came to their aid, they would be dead.

"Don't worry, Miss Kuchiki, they will be fine." Urahara Kisuke calmly fanned himself with a small fan, a flash of emotion in his eyes, and he glanced sideways at Sasaki Kojiro.

He couldn't count on Shakespeare; his character might be even worse than his own, and even if he took action, he wouldn't necessarily be able to kill Yachukas. But Sasaki Kojiro was different. As a samurai, it was common for him to help others when he saw injustice.

"Is it an eagle? Although it's not a swallow, its aura qualifies it as my opponent. Then let me destroy it."

Kojiro Sasaki also felt Urahara Kisuke's gaze, smiled slightly, and took on the battle calmly.

The more than five-foot-long samurai sword Bizen Osafune Nagamitsu was pulled out of its scabbard by Sasaki Kojiro, and the scabbard was stuck in the ground by Sasaki Kojiro.

"Thank you very much, Lord Sasaki." Rukia Kuchiki said gratefully to Kojiro Sasaki, while glaring at Kisuke Urahara with dissatisfaction.

A stranger I just met is more reliable than you. The meaning in his eyes was clearly understood by Urahara Kisuke, but Urahara Kisuke was still as distracted as before, smiling as if Kuchiki Rukia wasn't looking at him.

No, no need to thank me, I also want to test whether my sword is still sharp."

Sasaki Kojiro paused, and walked towards Arisawa Ryuki step by step. The distance between each step was exactly the same. The momentum was concentrated on Sasaki Kojiro, hidden but growing stronger. After ten steps, if anyone looked at Sasaki Kojiro again, they would feel their eyes stung by the sword intent.

Before Sasaki Kojiro could move, the eagle Yachukas in the sky swooped down towards the grass where Arisawa Ryuki and others were, intending to devour the souls of the three people in order to stabilize his own spiritual pressure to avoid falling back into Killian.

However, although the Eagle Achukas took the lead, Sasaki Kojiro crossed a distance of dozens of meters before the Eagle Achukas landed and appeared behind the Eagle Achukas.

The eagle Yachukas has already pounced in front of Arisawa Ryuki's head. Its pair of sharp claws flashed with cold light, like a sword, and was about to grab Arisawa Ryuki's head, break it open, and grab her soul.

Ishida Uryu and Kurosaki Ichigo were right beside Arisawa Ryuki. When they discovered that the eagle Achukas had launched an attack, they were about to stand up to defend themselves. However, after the eagle Achukas landed, before they could raise their weapons, its flying speed, which was slightly faster than the speed of sound, left them no chance to resist.

"This is where victory or defeat lies."

Just when the eagle Yachukas's sharp claws were less than five centimeters away from Arisawa Ryuki's head, a voice sounded from behind. At the same time, the eagle Yachukas felt that a shadow of death was covering him. At this moment, the fatal sense of crisis made the eagle Yachukas' whole body stiff.

"choke!"

A flash of silver-white sword light flashed across, carrying a cold sword energy, and slid down from the eagle Yachukas.

"How, can, I..."

The eagle Yachukas, who had just regained consciousness, uttered a few characters with difficulty, and then it was completely split into two halves from the eagle to the tail, slowly turning into spirit particles and disappearing.

"What a powerful killing technique! Even Kenpachi of this generation is probably no more capable than this." Rukia Kuchiki exclaimed. He killed a Hollow with just one casual sword. I guess the captain of the 11th Division, Kenpachi Zaraki, is probably no more capable than this.

"What a nice view……"

Arisawa Ryuki stared blankly at the eagle Yachukas disappearing before his eyes, with the dazzling sword light still echoing in his mind.

"Just one hit... am I that far away?" Ishida Uryu was also shocked. It took the three of them working together to kill a Killian. However, this legendary swordsman could easily kill the evolved form of Killian.

"So strong... Is this the legendary Swallow Return?" Kurosaki Ichigo exclaimed in amazement at the incredible swordsmanship before him, and he loosened his grip on the Soul-Slaying Sword without a trace. In front of Sasaki Kojiro, he could only wield the sword randomly to attack the Hollow, and he had no confidence in using the sword at all.

"Oh, I thought this would be a strong enemy. With this level, it is still far from enough to open the eyes of my secret sword." Sasaki Kojiro held the hilt of the sword in his hand, without any posture, just standing there leisurely.

"Isn't it Yan Fan? He only used one move, but the opponent is still a Hollow stronger than Killian." Ichigo Kurosaki asked in surprise.

"His aura is quite strong, but his strength is a little weak. Really, when will I meet an enemy more difficult to deal with than the swallow that day?" Sasaki Kojiro shook his head and sighed.

"Ahaha~~ Sasaki-san, you really have high standards. Even if this Achukas is a captain-level Shinigami, he still needs Bankai to fight against it. Is such an eagle not as good as the swallow you mentioned?"

Urahara Kisuke walked over leisurely. Kuchiki Rukia, who had been freed from her restraints, quickly surpassed Urahara Kisuke and stepped forward to support Arisawa Ryuki. Because he had just faced a crisis of certain death, Arisawa Ryuki's body was very tense. If Kuchiki Rukia didn't help, Arisawa Ryuki would not be able to move.

Inoue Orihime quickly summoned Shieldshun Rikka to treat Arisawa Ryuki, but it had no effect because Arisawa Ryuki's injuries were not on his body, but his mind was oppressed and he was unable to coordinate his body's actions.

"Geta Hat is right. Even in nature, eagles are much stronger than swallows, but they are not as good as the swallows you use to practice sword?" Ichigo Kurosaki asked curiously.

"Eagle? It's not a beast that can split itself, reverse time, or cut through space, right? It's not an opponent that I'm interested in at all." Sasaki Kojiro said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"...Are you sure you're talking about a swallow? And not some mythical beast?" Ichigo Kurosaki's face twitched, and he was stunned for a long time before he asked.

"Or is it a giant dragon that looks like a swallow?" Ishida Uryu adjusted his glasses and asked in amazement.

Even Urahara Kisuke couldn't maintain his leisurely look. His expression looked as if his worldview was collapsing and was being reorganized.

No one thought that the thing that Sasaki Kojiro was talking about was a swallow, or that it could be related to a swallow. Even in the vast Hueco Mundo, there was no Hollow like a swallow.

"Of course it's the swallow. It's because of encountering such a swallow that I was able to practice the swallow-killing technique, the secret sword, the Swallow Returning Sword." Sasaki Kojiro said affirmatively.

"So, you developed the Swallow Return skill in order to deal with the Swallow that can split itself, reverse time, and cut through space." Rukia Kuchiki made a summary, only to feel a toothache in her mouth.

Is that really the case? To successfully cultivate the secret sword Swallow Return, the required Swallow must be able to clone itself, reverse time, and slit space. No wonder Soul Society has never seen a Shinigami capable of Swallow Return. Even the successive Kenpachi, masters of slashing techniques, have been unable to develop such a secret sword. It's all because the Swallow is not right.

Then again, who could possibly find a swallow like that just to master the legendary swordsmanship?

"Now that the matter is over, I wonder if you two have any other important matters. If not, why not come to my humble home?" Urahara Kisuke's expression quickly adjusted and returned to normal. Then he subconsciously skipped the topic and extended an invitation to Sasaki Kojiro and Shakespeare.

"Is it too much trouble?" Sasaki Kojiro asked politely.

"How could that be? The manager's small shop has few customers all day long. If you could come, we could liven it up a bit." Jin Tai interrupted.

"Although I don't want to admit it, my shop is indeed as Jinta said." Urahara Kisuke nodded and admitted the fact.

"Oh, I'm sorry to bother you then." Sasaki Kojiro responded happily.

"It is good to have a place to stay," said Shakespeare.

"Well, Arisawa-san, Kuchiki-san, and Kurosaki-san, we'll be leaving first." Urahara Kisuke waved his fan casually, said goodbye to Arisawa Ryuki and others, and then left with the group from Urahara Shoten, Sasaki Kojiro, and Shakespeare.

"Even if you win this match, Kurosaki."

After Urahara Kisuke and the others left, Ishida Uryu left a message and turned away, leaving only

Chapter 234: Chasing in Soul Society (Part 1)

Soul Society, Division 12.

Aizen looked at the big screen in front of him and smiled with interest.

It's getting more and more interesting. Soul Society, I'm afraid it's going to suffer a big setback this time.

This is something that can be easily judged, because Soul Society is too arrogant, or rather, the decision-makers of Soul Society - the Central Forty-Six - are too arrogant. There has never been anyone who can resist their existence, making them more and more arrogant and more and more authoritative.

Just like the Quincy of old, the existence of Heroic Spirits makes them perfect experimental subjects for certain individuals in Soul Society, as well as those who can influence the authority of Soul Society. The Quincy's demise was primarily due to their hunting of Hollows, which undermined the authority and exclusivity of Soul Society. Meanwhile, Heroic Spirits, naturally, are spirits with self-awareness and immense power, impacting the unique nature of Soul Society.

While others, even most captain-level Shinigami, might not understand such a decision, believing it to be of little consequence or a significant problem, even captain-level Shinigami were not the highest-level decision-makers in Soul Society. Politicians, long wielding authority, ultimately lacked the same mindset as powerful law enforcement officers.

"It should be said that you are the one who is bound to stand on the throne of heaven. Even those agents of the world's will are unconsciously cooperating with you." Ichimaru Gin sighed, but a hint of haze flashed in his eyes.

Regardless of whether the original purpose of those heroic spirits was to cooperate with Aizen, the final result was that it perfectly matched Aizen's plan.

"is it?"

A look of boredom flashed across Aizen's face and disappeared so quickly that Ichimaru Gin began to doubt his eyesight. How could Aizen have such an expression, especially now that the plan was being improved?

However, Aizen did not give Gin Ichimaru any extra time to think about other things. He turned around and walked out of the 12th Division, with Gin Ichimaru following behind him.

As he walked, Aizen drew his Soul-Zanping Sword, holding it in his backhand, with the tip pointing downwards. The blade flashed with blue light, and he chanted, "Shatter, mirror flower, water moon."

At the same time as the hypnosis was lifted, Aizen and Ichimaru Gin had already left the 12th Division, leaving only loud alarms and noisy screams behind.

Soon, in less than five minutes, the real-life conditions seen by the 12th Division members after the hypnosis was lifted were conveyed to Captain Yamamoto and the Central 46th Room, which was actually empty. At the seventh minute, Captain Yamamoto received an order from the Central 46th Room, the highest ruling body in Soul Society.

First Squadron meeting room.

Captain Yamamoto had already arrived at the conference room and sat in his seat. A minute later, all the captains except Captain Zaraki Kenpachi of the 11th Division and Ukitake Jushiro of the 13th Division had arrived.

Three minutes later, Captain Yamamoto frowned and his eyes fell on Kyoraku Shunsui.

Kyoraku Shunsui felt Captain Yamamoto's gaze, raised his hat, and was about to speak when he saw Ukitake Jushiro and Zaraki Kenpachi come in from outside one after another.

"Sorry, I'm late, cough cough..."

The first thing Ukitake Jushiro did after coming in was to apologize, but before he could finish his sentence, he raised his hand to cover his mouth and started coughing.

Kenpachi Zaraki ignored everyone, found his seat directly and sat down with a calm demeanor.

Ukitake Jushiro also sat down in his seat, his brows furrowed, but they kept relaxing.

If he hadn't heard some news, how could he have forced himself to attend the meeting while still recuperating in the team dormitory?

"Ah."

Captain Yamamoto nodded, tapped his cane lightly on the floor, and said in a powerful voice, "Then I declare the meeting open!"

This was the second meeting held two months ago, which was rarely held once a year.

"Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi, please report the current situation." Captain Yamamoto's tone was not very good. All the captains could hear the uncontrollable anger in his words, and Mayuri Kurotsuchi was no exception.

"Yes!" Not daring to show any disrespect, Kurotsuchi Mayuri became more serious than ever before, causing the other captains to look at him differently.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi placed a transparent light screen in the middle of the conference room, and after fiddling with it for a few times, he received the video footage of the 12th Division's encounter with the real world.

"An hour ago, a massive Hollow invasion occurred in the modern world, including two thousand ordinary Hollows, one Killian, temporarily evolved Achukas, and three Achukas. They were all wiped out a quarter of an hour ago. Please watch the big screen for details."

As soon as Kurotsuchi Mayuri finished speaking, a picture appeared on the big screen. The picture showed the real Karakura Town and the thousands of Hollows wreaking havoc in Karakura Town.

"Captain Kurotsuchi Mayuri, I think you have to give us an explanation as to why a group of Hollows of this scale appeared in the world, and we only received the news now." Seeing this scene, Ukitake Jushiro immediately stood up from his seat, glared at Kurotsuchi Mayuri, and questioned him.

A trace of anxiety flashed in Ukitake Jushiro's eyes. You know, Kuchiki Rukia still stayed in Karakura Town. Facing a group of Hollows of this size, even the vice-captain might be killed, let alone Kuchiki Rukia.

"If I remember correctly, the mission of the 12th Division is to monitor the present world. Can't Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi do such a simple task?" Ichimaru Gin said with a foxy smile, knowing that he had bad intentions.

"The 12th Division's responsibility is to tune spiritual waves and monitor the average spiritual pressure level in the living world. If Captain Kurotsuchi Mayuri is unable to fulfill his duties, he should step down as captain of the 12th Division."

Byakuya Kuchiki also spoke, with a cold face, as if he was just talking about the matter at hand, but Aizen and Unohana Retsu could see the anger and worry that flashed across Kuchiki Byakuya's eyes. It was obvious that the anger was directed at Kurotsuchi Mayuri, and the worry was naturally due to his worry for Kuchiki Rukia's safety, but he concealed it very well, and no one except Aizen and Unohana Retsu could notice it.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri didn't say anything, his face beneath the mask was filled with pent-up anger. However, being targeted by three captains at the same time, the extremely angry Kurotsuchi Mayuri didn't dare to refute or argue, because he knew that he was completely wrong. Even Captain Yamamoto was furious about this matter. If he really spoke, Captain Yamamoto might also confront him. It was better to keep a low profile for now.

"Okay, quiet down," Captain Yamamoto said with a loud bang of his cane, his eyes piercing as he swept over the twelve captains.

When the twelve captains heard Captain-in-Chief Yamamoto speak, they all shut their mouths, straightened up and sat solemnly, except for the two Kenpachis, of course.

"We'll talk about Captain Mayuri later. Right now, we need to focus on the situation in this world."

Captain Yamamoto gave the order in a stern voice, and no one in the hall dared to raise any question.

The images on the big screen were moving forward at an extremely fast speed. Soon, the captains discovered the two Shinigami who led the Hollows out of the city, as well as Kuchiki Rukia. As for the spiritual pressure reactions of Kisuke Urahara and his store employees, they did not appear on the screen, and even the direct surveillance did not capture their figures.
