Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

"So what?"

Sal Apollo: ???

Sal Apollo no longer understood his train of thought.

"It doesn't matter if I'm here or outside... As long as we can achieve our common goal, we don't care who dies!"

"you……"

The calm words of "Lin" in front of him made Sal Apollo stunned. At this time, he realized that "Lin's" situation was completely different from his own. His logic was self-consistent and he could digest things like the "clone crisis" by himself.

"Now, in order to achieve my goal, I must first...get rid of you!"

As the masked Ichiryu said this, he had already pulled out the [Zanpakutō] from his waist...

"Hey, that's my opponent!" Ikkaku said dissatisfiedly.

But Kamen Ichiryu ignored him...

"Swastika!"

Ikkaku, Yumichika, and Hinamori were all staring at him at this time, trying to determine which captain he was from his Bankai.

At this time, they were still speculating that Masked Ichiryu was a captain who was framed by Aizen a hundred years ago!

However, Ikkaku and Yumichika were more confused - they were both veterans of the Gotei 13 and had been in the 11th Division a hundred years ago. They always felt that this person did not match any of the ones who had "disappeared" a hundred years ago.

Especially since he was called "Hayashi" by the [Arrancar]?

They don't remember which captain's surname is Lin or whose given name is Lin...

After "Masked Ichryu" exhaled the word [Bankai], raging flames suddenly erupted from his [Zanpakuto], and instantly swallowed up "Masked Ichryu" himself!

The scorching heat of the flames not only made Ikkaku and the others feel waves of heat that were hard to bear, but also felt like the surging heat had turned into a viscous fluid...

After several surges, the dissipated flames dissipated, and the "Masked Ichiryu" was seen wrapped in a robe condensed from liquid flames, and in his hand was a [Zanpakuto] that was slightly surrounded by flames.

The robe was very gorgeous, like the kind of attire that would be worn at a festival...

And if you look closely, you will see that in the liquid flames on the robe, from time to time there are skeleton-like spirits rising and falling, and each one seems to be wailing. If you zoom in to cover the entire field of vision, you will not feel that this is a gorgeous dress, but a lava hell!

At this time, the Zanpakutō in the hands of "Masked Ichiryu" looked similar to the "Asado", except that it was wrapped in flames. If you zoom in, you will find that there are countless tiny spirits lined up in the flames, just like an army array...

Yumichika was puzzled when he saw this: "Flame? Among the captains and vice-captains back then... there wasn't one?"

I thought that I would know his identity after seeing his Bankai...

Even if this person was only the vice-captain back then and mastered Bankai in the past hundred years, he would still have some connection with Shikai, so it should be possible to guess it.

"Could it be... Captain Shiba?" Ikkaku thought of Isshin Shiba who disappeared more than 20 years ago.

"Ah! That's right, that's right..." Yumichika also reacted at this time.

It is true that Captain Shiba's [Shikai] has the characteristics of the fire type, and he and Ikkaku have never seen Captain Shiba's [Bankai].

only……

Looking through the "Captain Shiba" filter, the two seem to have nothing in common!

However, facing "Lin" directly, Sal Apollo was in no mood to care whether he looked like someone or not...

He had experienced this fire not long ago.

That's right, "Masked Ichiryu" looks like [Bankai] at this time, but he is actually using the power of [Burning Stake] instead of the power of [Throne of the Sky] used in "Death God Form".

In essence, this is also the power of Yilong - thousands of years ago, Yilong separated his original power, allowing his spirit to transform into "void" after death. Later, in the form of void, the first power that Yilong developed was "flame"!

The reason is simple: old man Yamamoto left a very deep impression on Yilong at that time!

If it weren't for him, Yhwach wouldn't have been defeated. Naturally, as Yhwach's ally in the world, the Celestial Dynasty wouldn't have been destroyed...

Out of his worship of this power, Yilong has been developing the power of "flame" based on [Pao Lao Stake] for a long time.

Later, Yilong discovered that he could not reach the limit of his spiritual pressure until he was "complete again". Even with "pure fire", he could not exert the power of "breaking the boundary".

and……

Yilong also discovered that the "flame" he developed contained other powers, namely the resentment of the sinners who were burned, and the fighting spirit of the army that died in the war - in essence it was "flame" + "will", not pure, and even if the spiritual pressure reached the extreme, it could not [break the boundary].

So later on, Ichiryu gave up this power and turned to the power system of the [Throne of the Sky] to seek the "self-Arrancar"...

The power of [Burning Stake] has even been cut off by Ichiryu, but... now in order to hide his identity in front of other Shinigami, Ichiryu has temporarily packaged it into a [Zanpakutō], using the form of [Bankai] to imitate [Reincarnation] - but the current "Masked Ichiryu" is indeed a "Masked Shinigami" rather than an "Arrancar", the transformation is so thorough!

"Oh? Do you think you can kill me?" Sal Apollo asked in a frivolous but actually serious tone.

"Ha." Masked Dragon sneered.

Immediately, Sal Apollo's face turned annoyed, realizing that he had unintentionally shown weakness - he didn't even think about defeating the opponent, but was thinking about "not being able to kill" himself.

The next moment, the "Masked Dragon" rushed directly towards Sal Apollo, whose momentum was greatly reduced.

In a flash of fire, Masked Dragon had already arrived in front of Sal Apollo and swung his sword directly!

In an instant, rolling waves of fire, accompanied by the shouts of thousands of troops, attacked Sal Apollo.

Unlike old man Yamamoto's "Zanka-dachi" style after his "Ryujin Jakka" Bankai, it is not a "Pao Lao Zhu" of pure flame, and cannot converge the flame to the extreme.

Sal Apollo quickly folded the four tentacle-like wings behind him in front of him to resist!

As a result, two of them were cut off by the "Masked Dragon" with a horizontal slash...

Not only was the broken part burnt, but... when Sal Apollo released the sticky ink and wanted to wrap up "Lin", he found that the flaming crown on "Lin" was not in vain. The sticky "ink" evaporated in an instant and could not stick to his body at all!

Sal Apollo could only retreat quickly due to the obstruction of his two wings being cut off.

However, the "Masked Dragon" swung his sword again, making a fake slash, and immediately flames spurted out and chased after Sar Apollo...

After being "caught up" by the flames, Sal Apollo immediately turned into a fireball.

After the fireball burned for a while, it suddenly exploded, revealing the dusty Sal Apollo, who then released a [Flash of Wang Xu].

However, this time, the bright pink [Wang Xu's Flash], which was so powerful that it could shake the space, was directly cut off by the "Masked Ichiryu" with his sword!

Although the explosion still occurred and the force that shook the space still dissipated, the power was obviously much smaller, like a dud...

267. Chapter 266 "Die Together"

267.

2023-10-28

The space vibration caused by [Wang Xu's Flash] swept around, and the spirit particle dust from the explosion dispersed...

The "Masked Dragon" was unharmed!

It was probably because it had split [Wang Xu's Flash] first, greatly reducing its power.

At the same time, Sal Apollo took advantage of this opportunity to retreat quickly, obviously trying to leave the battlefield.

However, the "Masked Dragon" immediately chased after him, and it was obvious that he did not want to "force the matter back"!

When they met him in Hueco Mundo before, although Sal Apollo didn't know that Lin would appear, his action was planned and he naturally had many emergency measures prepared, including the possibility that the other party would come to help - even if he didn't know that Lin would come, he had to consider Nellie and Ulquiorra coming together.

Therefore, even if the appearance of "Lin" was beyond Sal Apollo's expectations, it would be difficult to really kill him.

But this time it’s different!

He wanted to kill Luo Jia immediately. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision. He never thought that someone would intervene, and he did it in a place like the Broken World...

Therefore, Masked Ichiryu felt that he had every chance to kill the opponent here.

When Sal Apollo saw the billowing flames chasing after him, his face suddenly turned ugly. The tentacles on his lower body had completely left the ground and were flying in an overdrawn manner.

Seeing that Sal Apollo was speeding up, "Masked Dragon" simply opened his hand, and chain-like flames stretched out towards Sal Apollo - at this time, "Masked Dragon" was completely a "real-life version of the burning stake"!

……

Ikkaku didn't have time to complain about this "unknown masked reaper" who stole his opponent.

The three Shinigami watched as the "perverted Arrancar" screamed and was dragged by the "chain" and pulled towards the mysterious "masked Shinigami"...

However, just as the two were getting closer and closer, and the "Masked Grim Reaper" was about to chop him down...

"Go to hell!" The perverted Arrancar was hysterical, and used his two remaining tentacles to madly pierce into the flame crown.

Although it was immediately burned to a blackened state, or even turned into ashes, but...

It seems that it did penetrate part of it!

At the same time, the "Masked Grim Reaper" also swung his sword, and immediately, accompanied by the shouts of thousands of soldiers and horses, the "Perverted Arrancar" withered in the flames after being chopped...

After a while, it completely turned into charcoal and fell down!

Looking at the charred corpse that was broken into several pieces after falling to the ground, the three people in Yijiao were shocked by the destructive power.

After killing the opponent, the "Masked Shinigami" retracted his [Bankai] state. As his [Zanpakutō] was sheathed again, the flames on it gradually went out, and it returned to its "Shōda" form.

But then, the "mysterious god of death" who was still in his masked state suddenly froze in his eyes and his spiritual pressure became unstable!

Hinamori suddenly became nervous, and Ikkaku and Yumichika also became alert.

"Are you...Captain Shiba?" Yumichika asked tentatively.

However, at this moment, the "Masked Grim Reaper" suddenly swelled unnaturally, but he immediately suppressed it back, and at the same time...

"Luo Jia, completely remove the backup of this body!" Masked Ichiryu didn't bother to pay attention to Yumichika - as long as his identity was not discovered by the God of Death, it would be fine.

Luo Jia hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but Kamen Yilong immediately rebuked her, "Hurry up! I taught you!"

It's two different things from the previous "retracting [anti-membrane silk]"...

"Clone Sar" is just temporarily not appearing and not existing in the Three Realms. It only exists in the [Anti-Membrane Silk] in the form of information. If Luo Jia clones it again as a backup, the one that will appear will still be the "Clone Sar" who has the experience of fighting with Fengqiao Loujuro. In other words, that "Clone Sar" has not disappeared.

And "Masked Ichiryu" asked her to completely remove this backup...

In this way, he would be shattered into spirit particles again, because he had never been separated from Luo Jia and had never existed independently, so there would not even be any remnant of his spiritual pressure - if the connection was severed and he died normally, at least he would have a chance to enter hell because his spiritual pressure would not dissipate.

Even if Luo Jia used the information given to her by "Teacher Lin" to back up another one later, it would be a brand new "Clone No. 2" and would not have the experience of fighting with Sal Apollo.

From the perspective of an "absolute individual", it is equivalent to being truly dead...

That's why Luo Jia hesitated.

However, under the urging of "Masked Ichiryu", Luo Jia gritted her teeth and did it.

The "Masked Dragon" disappeared calmly, but as he disappeared, a sound that seemed to be a mixture of Sal Apollo's screams and groans was heard!

That’s right, it’s the [Notification of Conception]!

At the last moment, Sar Apollo wanted to use [Conception Notification] to turn the tables and forcibly parasitized in Lin's body, so...

"Masked Ichiryu" didn't waste any words with him at this time - if you want to "give it" that's just right.

Directly make himself and Sal Apollo disappear at the same time!

Of course, Sar Apollo is an independent life. No matter how he is killed, his spiritual pressure will remain because it is too strong until he is taken in by hell.

"This is..." Hinamori was stunned when she saw this.

"The masked Grim Reaper just now wasn't a real person?" Yumichika guessed upon seeing this.

"It's possible. He talked to that perverted Arrancar for a long time about existence and not being a human being." Ikkaku didn't understand at all. He only knew that his opponent was gone.

Luo Jia also calmed down by now and realized that according to "Teacher Lin's" logic, there was no such thing as life or death.

Unlike Sar Apollo, who turned to the logical concept of "absolute individual will" when studying immortality, Yilong believed in "absolute will", so naturally he was not considered dead.

"Hey, female Arrancar, which captain was that just now?" Ikkaku asked directly.

Luo Jia glanced at him, but did not answer. She just said, "I still have to search for other Picaros." Then she turned and left.

"You...tsk!" Ikkaku released his Bankai with great dissatisfaction.

After all, they were going to stop the numerous "little Arrancars", but he couldn't stop them either...
