Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

"Compressing the spiritual power in the body can indeed prevent it from being fused by me, but... you don't think that I only know how to fuse my opponent's attack method, right?"

As Zaraki spoke, faceless "humanoid creatures" began to emerge out of thin air in the black cavity space in front, behind, and around Yilong. There were hundreds of them... no, hundreds of them!

"Righteous skeletons? It's not what a god of death should do to steal sheep." Yilong recognized these things - they were the dead bodies that the god of death used to host his spirit body when he was performing tasks for a long time in this world.

It should be from the Technology Development Bureau after Zhecheng escaped from prison...

Artificial corpses, generally speaking, cannot assist in combat.

Unless it is combined with the [Transformed Souls] of the "Vanguard Project"...

However, Yilong now understood that although these artificial bodies in front of him did not have [transformed souls], they were more troublesome than that - they were all dominated by the fusion of Zaraki Fuuya's abilities!

That is to say...

These can now be considered his body!

Although the battle between Shinigami is a battle of spiritual pressure, generally speaking, having more bodies is not a big deal, but... for Zanjou, who has integrated and controlled the surrounding spiritual particles, his own spiritual pressure is no longer important.

Zaraki is not using spiritual pressure to control spiritual particles!

"I never thought that you are so good at Kidō?" Zaraki broke out of prison to find him after watching the battle in which Ichiryū achieved his [Complete Shikai] in Soul Society.

“It’s just so-so.” Yilong said modestly.

"Then let's use the broken way to decide the outcome..." Zicheng said, and then he quickly chanted: "O King! The mask of flesh and blood, the one who has all things, flaps his wings, and is crowned with the name of man..."

Yilong did not dare to be careless at this time, and immediately drew out his Zanpakutō and said: "Follow the rules of heaven..."

at the same time……

"Beast bones scattered everywhere, spires, red crystals, steel wheels..."

"Moving becomes wind, stopping becomes emptiness..."

"The clanging of spears fills the empty city..."

"The twin lotuses carved the blue fire wall..."

The "artificial bodies" around him clearly had no consciousness, but at this moment they were all under the control of Zaraki and chanted the ghost way!

"...Laws determine disputes, and the hexagonal pillars of Law and Heaven!"

【Fatian Hexagonal Column】appeared behind Yilong at this time.

"The sky is far away waiting for the abyss of fire..."

"A wall of iron sand, a tower in the shape of a monk..."

"Overflowing turbid emblem..."

"Destroy yourself, Longdannini's black dog..."

"The End of a Thousand Hands..."

At first, Yilong could still hear clearly, but gradually, the voices became completely mixed together. It felt like there was some mysterious presence whispering around Yilong...

"The body of proud madness surges out, denies... paralyzes, flickers, and prevents it from falling asleep."

Burn out, burn out... self-destroy, self-destroy... squirm, squirm... powerless, powerless... negation, negation...

It's not only because the chants are mixed together in sound, but also because the chanting of [Ghost Way] is originally a kind of verbal magic to command the spirit particles. Now that their power is interfering with each other, the surrounding spirit particles are also in chaos, so it naturally sounds more weird!

However, facing these hundreds and thousands of ghosts, Yilong was not as panicked as Zaraki imagined - considering Yilong's performance in the Soul Society over the past hundred years, he should have been panicked.

Even if he has hidden some of his strength, he should be panicked now. This is what Zaraki inferred about his personality through observation!

but……

Yilong was not panicked at all. Instead... the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Because he was integrated with his surroundings and had extremely sensitive perceptions, Zancheng's heart skipped a beat when he noticed Yilong's mouth corners raised.

Although he didn't understand how Yilong was going to break the impasse, he still shuddered at this moment, hesitating whether to release the "Ghost Ways" he had just chanted first - some of the "Ghost Ways" had already been chanted, but he just held them back deliberately, and when all the "Ghost Ways" were ready, they would be thrown over all at once in a disorderly manner!

But now...

Without waiting for Zaraki to abandon this moment of hesitation, Ichiryu did not attack or make any defensive moves at this time, but just... jumped back and came to the front of the [Houten Hexagonal Column]. "Our Zanpakuto should be the most restrained type, right?"

Then, Yilong put his hand on it, seemingly not doing anything special, but...

The next moment, "boom" explosions sounded one after another around!

It was the "ghost way" that these artificial corpses were currently using that backfired and exploded after their failure.

At the same time, Mocheng screamed helplessly, unable to keep his figure shattered and disappearing.

Of course, he's not dead.

The entire Seireitei, plus a part of the world around it, are "Shuangya Mole City". In this state, unless it is as violent as the old man Yamamoto's [Flowing Blade], he cannot be completely killed...

However, his "fusion dominance" also has a very fatal weakness, which is the fear that the fused spirit particles will be "absorbed" - relying on the strength of spiritual pressure to compete with him for spirit particles, it doesn't matter even if you win, but once there is the ability to absorb spirit particles, even if it is only a small part, it will make him feel the pain!

Ichiryu had deliberately concealed this fact before. When he was fighting with Kurotsuchi Mayuri, the [Houten Hexagonal Column] only controlled it, but did not actually absorb the spirit particles...

61. Chapter 61 Absorption

61.

Yilong was well prepared for Zaraki's "falling out"...

As early as when he faced Kurotsuchi Mayuri, Ichiryuhan deliberately exposed the [Hexagonal Pillar of Hoten] in the "Seireitei" and aroused the interest of Zaraki, but... he did not expose another key ability of the [Hexagonal Pillar of Hoten]!

As for the influence of [Hatsun Hexagonal Column] on Lingzi, Yilong only made it manifest at the level of "control" at that time.

But in fact, the [Fatian Hexagonal Column] can not only "control" the spirit particles, but can go further... absorb the spirit particles!

Or it can be said that it can be used as a converter to assist Yilong in absorbing spirit particles.

Using the [Kamido] to launch various attacks is the "control" of the spirit particles. Using the [Spiritual Pressure] to realize the flow of spirit particles and form the so-called spiritual power is also "control"...

When the spirit particles are taken into oneself to form a structure different from ordinary spirit bodies, this is "absorption" - to a certain extent, "Hollow" is better at "absorption" and "Death" is better at "control", so "Hollow" can form a "steel skin" with strong defense.

Normally, the difference between the two functions is not that big. After all, they are both controlling spirit particles. The god of death can also control spirit particles through spiritual pressure and form defenses on the surface of the body, but...

For Futaba Zaraki, this is fundamentally different!

After he "fuses" the spirit particles in a certain area, if the opponent tries to control the spirit particles he "fuses", he can fight with them - ordinary Shinigami cannot launch [Ghost Way] attacks against him within his fusion range.

Even if the enemy has stronger control and can seize control, it doesn't matter. Just like in "Seireitei", there are people using [Kido] and controlling spirit particles all the time, but Zaraki doesn't feel uncomfortable.

However, once someone makes his fused spirit "disappear", he will suffer substantial harm. Even a little bit of harm will be like skinning and bone removal for him!

It is not so easy to separate the fusion between him and the spirit particles. Smashing the bricks and tiles made of spirit particles in Soul Society, burning the paper made of spirit particles into ashes... these cannot be regarded as making the spirit particles disappear, but only changing the form of their existence.

If you want to make it "disappear", you either have to use extremely powerful attacks to destroy it, such as Yamamoto's [Ryujin Jakka], or the spiritual pressure of Kenpachi Zaraki at full power; or you can use a more "clever" method - absorption!

Faced with the method of "absorbing" spirit particles, Zaraki had no power to fight back at all.

Let alone the [Houten Hexagonal Column], this kind of large-scale "absorption", even if it is the "absorption" of the [Glass-colored Peacock] of the 1th Division Fifth Seat Ayasegawa Yumichika, Zaraki Castle cannot withstand it... (Note )

This was also one of the reasons why Ichiryu was able to drive away Ishida Uryu and deal with Kurotsuchi Mayuri on his own.

If Ishida Uryuu takes off the "Spirit Dispersion Gloves", he will indeed be able to temporarily gain the power to defeat Kurotsuchi Mayuri, but...

At that time, the power of the "Quincy" will show the side of "absorbing" spirit particles, making Zaraki Shuang in "Infernal Affairs" suffer terribly!

At the same time, it will also alert Zeljoshiro Shuangya...

This is also the importance of the "secrecy" of the Zanpakuto's ability.

If you are confused about the abilities of "Yu Lu Zhe Liu" or only know the basics but not his weaknesses, it is easy to mistakenly think that he is "invincible".

however……

There is no invincible in the world. Even old man Yamamoto and Aizen are already preparing ways to deal with it!

Facing Zaraki Fuuya, Yilong was fearless from the beginning...

He has integrated the entire Soul Society. For Yilong, the entire Soul Society is his weakness and can be easily controlled!

When the [Hexagonal Pillar of Fatian] strengthens the ghost way, it exerts the ability of "control". When Yilong directly contacts the [Hexagonal Pillar of Fatian], it will provide Yilong with the ability to "absorb" spirit particles, which can instantly heal Yilong's injuries.

Now Yilong is not injured, he is just making use of the ability to "absorb spirit particles".

Zaraki Shuangya controlled hundreds of artificial corpses and used [Ghost Way] together. It seemed very powerful, but Yilong only made his [Hakkuku Hexagonal Column] take effect normally. Zaraki Shuangya immediately felt the pain of being tortured to death, and [Ghost Way] backfired.

Not only were his artificial bodies destroyed by the backlash of his own [Kido], but Zaraki Fuuya himself also lost consciousness in an instant due to the severe pain...

"He lost consciousness just like that? That's right, originally... he wasn't that strong." Yilong muttered at this time.

Zaraki Shuang has never had the awareness of being a strong man.

Or……

He is indeed not a strong man.

It's just that the ability of Zanpakutō is special. Once it awakens, it can always maintain the Bankai state, and its ability is beyond imagination. The combat power that Zaraki Souya can display has nothing to do with his own strength...

In fact, "Rain Dew Pomegranate" has a side effect - during the period of Bankai, Zaraki Shuang cannot use any means to enhance his spiritual body.

In other words, putting aside his Zanpakuto, he was really just that powerless young nobleman, just like... more than two hundred years ago.

Zaraki Fuuya, who lost consciousness in an instant, dreamed of what happened that year in a trance.

That was more than 200 years ago, when the internal fighting among the nobles of Soul Society had become increasingly fierce and blatant...

And in the tide of this era, the initial experience of the Zaraki clan was undoubtedly a microcosm of the strangled old aristocracy!

The Zarki clan, among the nobles of Soul Society, although not comparable to the five great noble families, can also be said to have a long history.

However, with the passage of time, the Zaraki clan had long since given up the "slashing fists and running away" that the Shinigami relied on, and their descendants were very good at "eating, drinking, whoring and gambling". Moreover, as old nobles, they owned a huge resource industry, allowing them to enjoy the fruits of the Soul Society and live a life of extravagance and debauchery...

However, without "cutting fists and running away", and only "eating, drinking, whoring and gambling", it is obviously impossible to keep these things, and it may even become the way to their death!

Of course, not everyone in the Zaraki family is unaware of this. There is also a younger generation who want to regain their glory, such as... Zaraki Fuuya's sister.

In the eyes of Zaraki Fuuya, his sister is like a lotus flower that grows out of the mud without being stained.

And her sister also saw that Fuuya had stronger talent than herself, so she encouraged Fuuya to go to the Maou Spiritual Academy with her and become a god of death together.

At that time, Zanjou didn't have any grand goals, nor did he realize the danger to his family. He just agreed for the sake of his sister.

but……

That's too late!

----

Note 1: In the original official novel, after Zaraki Souya escaped from prison, because he was restrained in this aspect, he first found Yumichika and stole his Zanpakutō. It was also mentioned that when Ishida Uryu exploded, he felt great pain.

62. Chapter 62 Dream

62.

Over the past thousand years, there have been countless disasters, both major and minor, in Soul Society.

After all, the most threatening enemy of the Soul Society is gone, and the infighting among the nobles has reached a level even worse than a thousand years ago.

New nobility and old nobility, old nobility and old nobility, new nobility and new nobility... power, interests, desires... conspiracy, annexation, killing...

During the most chaotic and disorderly time, even the son-in-law of the Kuchiki family was banned, and even the manpower of the Shiba clan was greatly consumed until they were deprived of their noble status and expelled from the Soul Society.

More than 200 years ago, on a day like this...

The Zaraki siblings who were attending classes at the Shinō Spiritual Arts Academy were captured and taken to the execution ground...

It is called an "execution ground", but in fact it was also a "colosseum" for the nobles of the time to entertain themselves!

The executed prisoners will be thrown into it and fight with the captured "Hollow" until they die...

It seemed as if he wanted to humiliate the Zhecheng clan and let their ancestors see how useless their descendants had become.

The family members, one by one, couldn't even handle an ordinary Hollow, and were just slaughtered one by one...

The nobles in the stands laughed wantonly, as if they were mocking the Zaraki clan for having become so corrupt, and as if they were using this to establish the rationality and justice of their own actions.
