I Am a Heroic Spirit

Aizen set his gaze on Red Dragon Lily, only to see Red Dragon Lily looking at the man in white clothes and silver hair with a complicated expression.

"Teacher Merlin, long time no see. The power that allowed me to transform into a red dragon came from you, right?"

Red Dragon Lily couldn't tell what she was thinking. She was clearly practicing to become a qualified king, but in the end she became a red dragon. Moreover, this change was brought about by her own teacher, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Ah, Lily, that's right, but I didn't expect that the skill of hero creation would turn you into what you are now. But there's nothing wrong with it. Becoming a red dragon protecting Great Britain is much easier than becoming King Arthur of Great Britain, and the ending is much better." The man in white clothes and silver hair called Merlin is the incarnation of Zhang Luo. Because he saw some bad things through his clairvoyance, he came here in person.

"...Indeed, Teacher Merlin." Red Dragon Lily said with some melancholy as she recalled the future she had seen.

"I see. You are Merlin, the Great Magician and Prophet of Great Britain. I had forgotten that Merlin, the Great Magician and Son of Nightmare, is also a non-human master of illusion."

Aizen said thoughtfully, it is said that Merlin has the ability to predict the future, so, has his actions been known to Merlin for a long time?

"Yes, I am Merlin, known as the Flower Magician."

Zhang Luo said calmly.

"So, Merlin, what do you want? Make me your enemy?"

Aizen asked.

"Although I have no reason to be your enemy, since you want to attack my students, you can't blame me for venting my anger on their behalf."

Zhang Luo pointed his staff at Aizen and spoke.

"Let's fight. Regardless of the outcome, I will not interfere in your feuds after the battle."

Zhang Luo is confident that he can defeat Aizen directly, but he is not sure that he can keep Aizen alive.

After all, Aizen had already started planning hundreds of years ago. His clairvoyance could only see the present, not the past, but just now, he had seen more than ten of Aizen's back-up plans.

"This excuse is too convincing. You say that I attacked your students, but in fact it was you who tricked me." Aizen frowned and said to Zhang Luo with a sneer.

"Don't say that. If you didn't want to attack Lily, I wouldn't have suddenly taken action." Zhang Luo said lightly, ignoring the fact that Lily would not be hit.

Aizen could only sneer in silence. If he really just wanted to prevent himself from attacking his students, then he would not have attacked him when the barrier was deployed.

"By the way, how did the battle between Byakuya Kuchiki and Nero end?"

Inexplicably, Aizen's thoughts wandered off topic. The current situation was so far from his plan, but he wasn't willing to escape in such disgrace, so he casually found a topic that interested him.

"Them, you can see for yourself."

Aizen obviously wanted to delay time, which was exactly what Zhang Luo was thinking, because Zhang Luo also had some words that needed to be thought about.

Just wave the staff at any time and a curtain of light will unfold out of thin air.

As for whether he chanted any spells, of course not. After all, do you really think that Merlin needed to chant spells slowly when performing magic?

The Senbonzakura area a few minutes ago.

Faced with the double attack of Byakuya Kuchiki and Senbonzakura, Nero was defeated step by step. However, after only two minutes, Nero could no longer bear it. He ignored Senbonzakura's attack and launched an offensive against Byakuya Kuchiki.

As for Senbonzakura's attack, she only needs to turn her head slightly. As long as she is hit in the vitals, what can ordinary attacks do to her? Even if her head is chopped off, the battle continuation from Shuten Douji can allow her to continue fighting.

Having made up his mind to deal with the Senbonzakura, Nero's attacks became more and more crazy because he didn't need to care about anything else. His powerful slashes one after another turned Kuchiki Byakuya into his previous self. He could only defend himself but couldn't fight back against Nero.

The collision of swords made a sharp sound, and the heavy blow made the weaker ones retreat backwards.

In comparison, the one who was much weaker was naturally Byakuya Kuchiki. He took a step back, and then retreated step by step. Under Nero's slash, Byakuya Kuchiki used Nero's strength to shoot backwards. Senbonzakura controlled the Soul-Slaying Sword to fall from the sky, blocking Nero's way to chase Byakuya Kuchiki. Due to Senbonzakura's interference, Nero failed to catch up with Byakuya Kuchiki in the first time.

"I have to admit that you are very strong, stronger than me, but I will never lose."

Kuchiki Byakuya was thrown backwards for dozens of meters before he stopped. He supported his body with the Soul-Zhandao and knelt on one knee. As he spoke, blood flowed from his mouth.

"How shameless! Who do you think you are facing? A mere lowly person dares to speak such arrogant words to me."

Nero pointed at Byakuya Kuchiki with the primordial fire and said with contempt. The arrogance of a tyrant was fully displayed by Nero at this moment.

"No matter who you are, for the glory of the Kuchiki family, for the glory of the Sixth Division, and for the glory of Soul Society, I will defeat you."

Kuchiki Byakuya stood up, pulled his Soul Zanto from the ground, and pointed at Nero. He was carrying too much on his shoulders, especially now that Kuchiki Rukia had been sentenced by the Central Forty-Six. He was unaware of Aizen's conspiracy, and the pressure on him was too great.

"Huh? Tsk, a boring person." Nero was stunned for a moment and said with a sneer. In her opinion, if a man who is bound by too many responsibilities cannot break that bondage, he will be like this in the future.

It was Rukia Kuchiki who originally helped Byakuya Kuchiki break the shackles of responsibility. Now the plot has changed so much that no one knows whether he can still break the shackles of responsibility.

"Senbonzakura Kagegan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kuchiki Byakuya poured all his spiritual pressure into his Zanpakutō. A spiritual pressure as deep and unfathomable as the ocean surged from his body, and most of the Zanpakutō hanging around him shattered into pieces. Cherry blossom petals like a river surrounded it and flew towards Kuchiki Byakuya. Behind Kuchiki Byakuya, they turned into a dazzling white color and transformed into a pair of huge white wings.

"The final scene of the White Emperor Sword!"

Byakuya Kuchiki was wrapped in a white halo, and the front end of his soul-slaying sword was shrouded in white spiritual pressure, revealing a fierce power.

"This is my strongest attack, and also my final one. Let this move decide the outcome between you and me."

Kuchiki Byakuya flapped his wings and flew into the air. His huge white wings covered the sky, and the enormous spiritual pressure surged in all directions like a tide as his wings danced.

As the spiritual pressure grew stronger, Nero, who was being targeted, felt a heavy pressure coming from above, which became stronger and stronger.

"Well!"

Nero clenched the primordial fire in both hands, groaned, and burst out with a fiery aura, confronting Kuchiki Byakuya head-on.

One of the two men was in the sky and the other was on the ground, each holding a weapon and confronting each other.

Finally, Byakuya Kuchiki moved. He spread his wings and suddenly a strong wind blew. Byakuya Kuchiki swooped down towards Nero in the wind.

"See my talent! Hear the thunderous applause! And then praise! To this golden theater! The magnificent empire (Laus Saint Claudius) sung by the virgins!"

Facing the pressure of Byakuya Kuchiki's sword, Nero swung down the Primordial Fire with incredible force.

The red flames and the white sword light collided violently. With a deafening sound, the whole world seemed to be left with only red and white. The earth cracked open, and the land felt intense pressure from the collision of the two people's spiritual pressure. With a "squeaking" sound, it gradually rose into the air.

After nearly half a minute, the red and white colors gradually dissipated, revealing Kuchiki Byakuya and Nero.

Nero, covered in blood and extremely weak, stood firm, not collapsing. Kuchiki Byakuya, whose injuries were much less severe than Nero's, staggered a few steps before leaning forward, about to collapse. If the masked warrior hadn't materialized before him, he would have collapsed.

"How could this happen? Why?" Kuchiki Byakuya's weak voice sounded.

"What are you asking?" Nero turned around calmly and asked Kuchiki Byakuya.

"Given your injuries, even if you're not dead now, you should have collapsed." Kuchiki Byakuya asked.

"Well, have you heard of the story of Shuten-doji defeating the enemy?" Nero asked.

"What do you mean?" Kuchiki Byakuya asked Nero in confusion, his back turned to Nero.

"Even though Shuten-doji had his head chopped off, he was still able to attack Raiko and the Four Heavenly Kings. How could I, who possess the same skills, fall so easily?" Nero said proudly.

"The Emperor's privilege? To think I could even get this kind of power." Kuchiki Byakuya coughed up blood and continued, "But do you think you can defeat me like this?"

"Hmm? Do you think you can still continue fighting?" Nero raised the Primordial Fire and asked Byakuya Kuchiki. The meaning was very clear. If Byakuya Kuchiki answered yes, then Nero's Primordial Fire would cut Byakuya Kuchiki in half.

"Senbonzakura."

Kuchiki Byakuya didn't say much, but just shouted to Senbonzakura in front of him.

"What?" Nero also looked at Senbonzakura. Isn't that for assisting in battle?

"Mysterious meaning: Bite the Thousand-Blade Flower!"

Senbonzakura stretched out her right hand and waved it in the air, and countless sharp sounds were heard. Nero looked and saw that there were still thousands of soul-slaying swords hanging in the sky. Under Senbonzakura's control, the blades were all pointing at her and then shot towards her.

"What the hell? This is cheating! Round Robin!"

Amidst Nero's indignant shouts, thousands of soul-severing swords pierced her body. Nero was killed without even a chance to resist.

Well, after all, although the remaining physical strength and magic power can still block dozens of swords, what's the point of blocking only one percent of the thousands of soul-slaying swords? It would be better to just die.

As Senbonzakura's domain gradually disappeared, Nero's body also gradually dissipated, and Kuchiki Byakuya returned to the ring.

However, something unexpected happened. Kuchiki Byakuya, who had just returned to the ring, was surprised to find that Nero's body condensed in front of him before he could say anything. It returned to its original state in a few seconds.

If the other captains had not taken action, Kuchiki Byakuya would have been hacked to death by Nero.

Zhang Luo waved his staff, dispelled the light curtain, and then looked at Aizen.

Aizen turned his head and looked at Zhang Luo, then asked thoughtfully, "That resurrection ability should be Nero's own, right?"

Chapter 276: Great British Sword Master

"Indeed, it's you, Aizen, who can actually see Nero's resurrection ability from this."

Zhang Luo exclaimed in admiration, "Nero's resurrection ability is completely rote. Even in his past, he couldn't have imagined that Nero's resurrection ability was due to a suicide attempt." What a load of rubbish! He's completely disrespectful just to give his own daughter a cheat. The emperor's privileges are fine, but even if his basic attacks and status-enhancing skills are powerful, others don't have them either.

But it is too unreasonable that he even has this kind of resurrection ability because of a failed suicide attempt.

"I hesitated three times before dying, so I got three chances to be resurrected. Are they kidding?"

"What's the fuss? Three failed suicide attempts equal three chances of resurrection. Haven't other heroic spirits hesitated a few times before dying?"

"That's too much nonsense."

"That's bullshit. Nero's imperial privileges are bullshit. Just because the emperor held such a high position in Rome, Nero was able to use abilities she wouldn't normally possess. She could even use the skills of Greek demigods, Japanese samurai, and monsters. Isn't that even more ridiculous?"

"Two ridiculous yet incredibly powerful skills. Could Nero be the illegitimate daughter of some God King?"

The conversation between Zhang Luo and Aizen caused countless complaints, and it also made people discover the truth of the matter. Isn't Nero equivalent to the biological daughter of the Creator God? Apart from being a headache, it's simply cheating, and there are no other restrictions.

After taking a deep look at Nero, Aizen began to respect Nero's existence. It was not surprising that such a special guy had any kind of power.

Turning back, Aizen stared at Merlin, his mind already made up.

The largest-scale transfer is about to come, so before the transfer, let's test the true strength of this magician.

Suddenly, Hirako Mako, Unohana Retsu, Zaraki Kenpachi, as well as the recovered Chojiro Suzuki, Byakuya Kuchiki, Hitsugaya Toshiro and other captain-level Shinigami, released their soul-slaying swords and rushed towards Merlin.

"Hey hey hey? Why did you rush over here without even saying hello?"

Zhang Luo pretended to be surprised, but just knocked his staff on the ground. The Death Captains who were rushing over at a very fast speed fell to the ground with a bang, as if they were asleep, lying on the ground without any movement.

"The power of nightmares? It's really strong."

Aizen narrowed his eyes, raised his Soul-Zantholo, and assumed a rare fighting stance.

He never thought that he could use those captains to defeat Merlin, but he also didn't expect that those captains were knocked down by Merlin before they could even complete a tentative attack. He hadn't even found any traces of Merlin attacking those captains.

"Please teach me, Flower Magician of Great Britain."

As soon as Aizen finished speaking, he crossed the distance and appeared in front of Zhang Luo. Facing the world-famous prophet, magician, and son of nightmare, Aizen didn't think he could gain the upper hand in magic and illusion.

A heavy blow came down on Zhang Luo's head, and the sword pressure turned the space into a solid state and split it apart.

"Alright, let's begin! I'm not very good at fighting, but let's give it our all!"

Zhang Luo spoke his lines lightly, and the staff in his hand emitted the light of a holy sword, and swung it towards Aizen.

Although Aizen is very strong, Merlin is even stronger. Although he is just a caster and has also transformed from a human and cannot fully exert his abilities, Aizen has not yet used the Hogyoku to evolve himself. In this battle where neither side is in their strongest state, Zhang Luo is confident that he will be invincible.

"Qiang!!!"

As the staff and the soul-slaying sword collided, a sharp sound was heard, and ripples in the air spread out in all directions with the sword as the center. The Death Gods sleeping nearby were blown away by the ripple-like impact, and hit the deputy captain who was about to come over to rescue his captain, knocking him away together.

"Well!"

"what happened?"

"My body hurts so much!"

Captains such as Kyoraku Shunsui and Unohana Retsu were awakened by the collision and cried out in pain.

They only remembered that Merlin seemed to be persuaded by Aizen and planned to stand by and watch. After all, Merlin really had no real reason to be Aizen's enemy, so they did not suspect that it was Aizen's illusion.

Afterwards, Aizen took out his Soul-Zanking Sword and was about to use Kyoka Suigetsu. They naturally wanted to stop him, but halfway through, they fainted for some reason.

"Just now, the captains seemed to have been hit by Captain Aizen's Mirror Flower and Water Moon, attacked Merlin, and then fell asleep." Ise Nanao explained.

"Kyoka Suigetsu's complete hypnosis is almost unsolvable. We who have already been caught in it will never be able to defeat Aizen no matter what." Urahara Kisuke dusted himself off and calmly stated what had been determined long ago.

"But! When?" Ukitake Jushiro asked in surprise.

"I don't know." Ise Nanao shook her head. She knew what Ukitake Jushiro was asking. It was about when Aizen activated his Shikai, but they didn't notice any changes in Aizen's Soul Zanto.

"What's going on over there? When did Aizen start fighting with Merlin? And! Why is Merlin's killing technique so powerful!" At this time, Yoruichi Shihouin spoke, looking at the center of the ruins of the ring with an expression of disbelief on her face.

When everyone heard the sound and looked over, their faces suddenly changed and became extremely weird.

In the center of the ring, Aizen and Merlin had been fighting for dozens of rounds. There was no need to say much about Aizen's swordsmanship. Although it was not as good as Unohana Retsu, he was also top-notch in Soul Society. The captains could see this in just a few seconds.

Merlin, holding a staff, did not use any magic. Instead, he used a swordsmanship that was no worse than Aizen's, and even slightly better. However, for some reason, his swordsmanship sometimes revealed flaws, and he was not at a disadvantage in a head-on confrontation with Aizen.

"You must be kidding. Isn't Merlin a magician? How come he has such amazing swordsmanship?" Soi Feng said in astonishment as she watched the unimaginable battle on the ring.
