In Soul Society, I just want to retire

"Hahaha!" A soldier from the Hyojubu was very happy. He stretched out his big hand and patted Yamabuki Ditang's shoulder. "Actually, this is not a big deal. The last time we came down here was thousands of years ago. It's a good opportunity to see what changes have taken place in the lower world!"

"Don't you know everything that happened in the underworld?" asked Yamabuki Ditang.

"It's better to experience it firsthand." Hyoshubu Ichibei looked at Yamabuki Ditang with a smile. "Besides, it will take a lot of effort to get back. We have to move this thing to the Shiba family in Rukongai."

Hyoshubu Ichibei pointed at the cylindrical aircraft behind him. Yamabuki Ditang knew of course that the so-called means of transportation was to use this thing as a cannonball and install it in a cannon, and bombard the Spirit King Palace with one shot. It was simply outrageous.

When Wang Yue of Ermeiwu passed by Yamabuki Ditang, he suddenly asked, "Can you lend me your knife? It looks very strange!"

"No, my sword spirit has a very bad temper." Yamabuki Ditang refused directly.

His Zanpakutō is a split of his own soul, not the shallow one forged by Nimaiya Oyue. In fact, due to the system, the only sword whose name is unknown to Hyoshubu Ichibei is the Silver Angel.

In a sense, this was also something that Hyoshube Ichibei had not expected.

"Stingy guy!" Wang Yue from Ermeiwu cursed with a smile, then left Shanchui Ditang.

At dusk, two members of the Gotei 13 and Squad Zero gathered at the Shiba Clan.

Yamabuki Ditang looked at the extremely strange cannon with a suspicious expression.

"Are you sure we should take this up? It won't suddenly fall down halfway through the flight, right? And..." Yamabuki Detang paused. If you want to reach the Soul King Palace, the most important item is the "King Key". In the future, Aizen will have to create the "King Key" to ascend to the Soul King Palace.

Of course, during the bloody battle, Aizen was prepared to use spiritual pressure to directly take down the Soul King Palace. From this, it can be judged that the so-called King Key is not a necessary condition. As long as one has strong enough power, he can ignore all rules.

"You know a lot." Ichibei of Hyoshubu said with a smile.

"Okay, let's get ready to go." Wang Yue of Ermeiwu said while rapping, "But your singing is so bad!

"Don't worry, everyone! After meeting the Spirit King, I will return this young man to you safely." Hyoshubu Ichibei said with a smile, then nodded slightly to the patriarch of the Shiba family.

Use the cannon to bomb him!

With a deafening roar, the cylindrical aircraft flew towards the Spirit King Palace at an extremely fast speed.

Yamabuki Ditang was full of questions in his mind. He really couldn't understand why the Spirit King wanted to build a nobody like him.

Soon, they arrived at the legendary Palace of the Spirit King.

At this time, there were only two members in the Zero Squad, so there were only two Zero Squad members, representing Hyoshubu Ichibei and Nimaiya Oyue respectively.

Moreover, the Spirit King Palace is the place with the highest concentration of spirit particles in the entire Three Realms. Even an ordinary deputy captain would be pressed to the ground and unable to move. However, for Yamabuki Ditang, this place is simply a paradise for cultivation.

"Don't look around like a country bumpkin. Follow me. His Majesty the Spirit King is waiting for you." said a soldier from the Hyojubu department.

Yamabuki Ditang took a deep breath. What is coming will come. He gently grasped his sword. If the two sides really clashed, it should be no problem for him to escape unscathed with the spatial ability of his Zanpakuto.

"Before I meet the Soul King, I have a question." Yamabuki Ditang stared intently at Hyoshubu Ichibei. "I want to know if the Soul King is truly conscious? Or... is this just an excuse for you to trick me into coming up here?"

Hyoshubu Ichibei looked at Yamabuki Detang with a very deep look. "As expected, you know a lot of things. We are all smart people, so I won't hide anything. You should know the Soul King's current state, right? Although his limbs have been cut off and his internal organs have been stripped away, he is still alive. He has been like this for millions of years, and he regains consciousness for a short period of time every few thousand years. Of course, he can't do anything. He has long seen through the past and future of this world. He is the one who possesses true wisdom, sacrificing himself to create this great world."

"So, it's really me that the Spirit King wants to see? And not you?" Yamabuki Ditang confirmed again.

Hyoshubu Ichibei gave a hearty laugh. "Do you think I want to chop you into pieces and make a new Soul King? You do possess some inexplicable powers, but I'm not that ruthless. The current Soul King is doing well, and I have no plans to find a new one until his body completely collapses. At least in the meantime, you're safe. This is the truth, so could you please remove your hand from the hilt?"

Yamabuki Ditang was silent for a long time, but finally chose to believe Hyoshubu Ichibei.

With the other party's strength, it would be too easy for them to deal with me. There is no need for them to lie to me.

It seems that I am worrying too much.

Yamabuki Ditang let down his guard and continued to follow Hyoshubu Ichibei. In the end, they all arrived at the center of the two Zero-Ban Palaces. Behind that door was enshrined the Spirit King who supported the three realms.

Yamabuki Ditang took a deep breath.

Just as he was about to open the door, he found that Hyoshubu Ichibei was not planning to go in with him.

"You won't go in?"

"No, this is a problem between you and His Majesty the Spirit King. Of course, if you need anything, you can call me loudly." Ichibei of the Hyoshubu said with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill the Soul King with one sword? Since you know the names of all my Zanpakuto, you should understand the abilities of my Zanpakuto, right?" Yamabuki Ditang was testing whether the system could block Hyoshubu Ichibei's abilities.

Hyoshubu Ichibei gave a wry smile: "I do know the names of all the Zanpakutō in the world, but unfortunately, yours is not one of them. You don't have to use such tricks to test me. Go in quickly. His Majesty the Soul King will not be awake for long."

Sure enough, my little trick was seen through, but it doesn't matter.

Yamabuki Ditang faced the core of the Spirit King Palace, took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and saw a human stick with no hands and feet placed on the luxurious and magnificent throne. There was a thick amber-like cocoon wrapped around the human stick.

This is the legendary Spirit King!

Yhwach's father!

The origins of the Quincy and the Shinigami.

Yamabuki Ditang closed the door tightly with his backhand.

Just when he was wondering how to communicate with the Spirit King, an invisible force controlled his body. Yamabuki Ditang involuntarily stretched out his hand and gently pressed on the amber-like cocoon.

And the voice of the Spirit King also reached his mind.

"Young man, do you want to be the new Spirit King?"

Chapter 120: Dialogue with the Spirit King

Spiritual King.

What is the Spirit King?

The Soul King is the wedge between the Three Realms. If the Soul Society, the real world, and the Hueco Mundo are each compared to a piece of wood, then the Soul King is the nail that fixes the three pieces of wood.

This is the Spirit King, the most important existence in maintaining the balance of the three realms. Such a person deserves supreme respect, but now, the Spirit King looks horrible.

With its limbs severed and its internal organs ripped out, it has been sitting here alone for millions of years, perhaps even longer.

For a physically and mentally healthy person, this is simply the greatest torture in the world.

"Young man, do you want to be the new Spirit King?" The Spirit King's voice reached Shanbuki Ditang's mind, and Shanbuki Ditang's back was covered in cold sweat.

Only a fool wants to be the Soul King! I don't want to be a human stick! If you really want to retire, I'll find your son for you. Yhwach will definitely replace you as the most outstanding Soul King.

"Absolutely not." Yamabuki Ditang shouted at the top of his voice in his heart.

"Are you scared by my appearance?" The Spirit King's voice sounded very gentle, like an elder looking at his junior.

"Hmm, hmm, hmm!" Yamabuki Ditang nodded frantically. He knew very well his own worth. If he sat in this position on the first day, he would be chopped into a human stick by the Hyoshubu Ichibei outside the door on the second day. A spiritual king who cannot speak is a good spiritual king.

"I'm just a small vice-captain of the Gotei 13. Why are you looking for me? If everything is fine, I'll leave first. Bye, I hope we never see each other again." Yamabuki Ditang took his hand away, took two steps back, and after making sure that the Soul King would not hurt him, he prepared to push the door and leave.

Just as Yamabuki Detang was about to leave, the Soul King's voice appeared in his mind again: "You will die. Soon, there will be an unprecedented catastrophe in Soul Society, and you will die in that catastrophe."

Yamabuki Ditang's hand was already on the door, but he suddenly stopped after hearing what King Ling said.

The catastrophe that would soon follow was, of course, the invasion of the Quincies. As the chief of staff of the Gotei 13, he would definitely join the battle. Could it be that...

"You will die at the hands of the Quincy King, Yhwach." The Soul King's voice remained calm, having seen through the past and future of the world.

Yamabuki Ditang clenched his fists tightly and turned around stiffly. He didn't think that the Spirit King would lie to him. As a person who knew the past and the future, there was no need for him to waste time on an eighteen-year-old boy.

Moreover, the Spirit King possesses the most powerful ability in the entire world, omniscience and omnipotence.

In other words, the Soul King has used his omniscience to foresee the future war, and he will die at the hands of Yhwach.

"I believe that I was definitely not the only one who died in that catastrophe. Why did you choose me?" Yamabuki Ditang asked, suppressing his excitement.

This war between Soul Society and the Quincy will definitely result in many deaths, but why did the Soul King choose to find me?

"A million years ago, I saw through the entire future. I believed that all changes in this world were under my control, except for your arrival." The Soul King said, "You are the only person I overlooked. The moment you arrived in this world, the world line underwent irreversible changes. Your existence is very important to this world. At least you can't die now."

Shanbuki Ditang felt a chill run down his spine. Could it be that the Spirit King had already seen through his identity as a time traveler? This was too outrageous!

"Do you want to tell me how to survive in that war?" asked Yamabuki Ditang.

"No, there is no way. I see all the possibilities. All the endings are the same. You will die before dawn." said the Spirit King.

Yamabuki Ditang felt like he was falling into an icy cave. He was only eighteen years old, and death was too far away for him. But now, he felt that the god of death was standing behind him, with the scythe pointed at his neck, and his head would fall off at any time.

That feeling is so hopeless.

Even if you know that life always has an end, you will still feel reluctant when you are about to reach the end.

Yamabuki Ditang took two deep breaths to calm himself down. "If that's what you want to say to me, thank you. I'm going back now. Everyone will die eventually, and my biggest characteristic is that I don't believe in fate."

He used to think that those who shouted "My fate is in my own hands" were crazy, but when fate really came to him, he also wanted to shout "My fate is in my own hands."

Can people really resist fate?

What is destiny?

"Are you going back? No one has talked to me for a long time." The Spirit King said gently.

Yamabuki Ditang said nothing and walked forward silently.

"If I tell you that I can help you survive, will you chat with me for a while longer?" asked the Spirit King.

"Fuck! Why didn't you tell me earlier! I knew you would have a way to solve it. You are the omniscient and omnipotent Spirit King!" Yamabuki Ditang ran over in an instant and looked at the Spirit King with a smile.

"The only way to survive is to improve your own strength. Before that catastrophe comes, you must have the power to fight against Yhwach." said the Soul King.

Yohabach!

Son of the Spirit King.

Although the Quincy abilities he possessed were strong, they were not so strong that they left others helpless.

What really gives people a headache is omniscience and omnipotence.

An invincible power that can change the future.

Looking at the entire world of death, there is no other power except the Mirror Flowers and Water Moons that can affect the Omniscience and Omnipotence.

Without this invincible power, Yhwach might not even be able to pass the level of Hyoshubu Ichibei.

But as soon as he opened his eyes, Hyōshubu Ichibei, who had controlled Soul Society for a million years, was killed before he could even hold on for three seconds.

"You mean that I should train hard and become stronger before the war?" Yamabuki Ditang asked curiously.

"If it were really that simple, this wouldn't be a situation of certain death. There's no time left. No matter how much you practice, you won't be able to gain the strength to fight against Yhwach before the war comes. However, I have a shortcut. Are you willing to try it?" asked the Spirit King.

Yamabuki Detang has read the Bleach comics and knows too well the horror of "omniscience and omnipotence".

Ichigo Kurosaki's three-in-one Shin Bankai can kill anyone in seconds, but in front of the Omniscient and Omnipotent, he can't even cut a single blow. The blade of his sword breaks at will, and he has no chance at all.

If Aizen had not successfully hypnotized Yhwach with Kyoka Suigetsu in the end, causing him to take all the damage, Ichigo, who was not in full condition at the time, might have been killed instantly for the second time.

If you want to survive at the hands of Yhwach, you must find a way to break Yhwach's omniscience and omnipotence.

Aizen uses his actions to tell everyone that there is no truly invincible omniscience and omnipotence in this world, only invincible mirages and illusions.

Chapter 121: Ineffective Omniscience and Omnipotence

"Does the shortcut you mentioned have any side effects?" Yamabuki Ditang asked cautiously.

"No. It will only benefit you, not harm you." The Spirit King said calmly, "You see the box next to me, right? Open it, and the answer is inside."

Yamabuki Ditang saw a small box next to King Ling. It was not locked. After opening it gently, he found that there was a piece of beating meat inside.

"What the hell is this?" Yamabuki Ditang asked with a puzzled look.

"My flesh," the Soul King said, "as long as you absorb my flesh, your spiritual pressure will increase significantly in a short period of time without any side effects. This is also the only way you can survive the future war."

Yamabuki Ditang looked at the Spirit King with a puzzled expression. "Let me devour your flesh?" Why did this evil thing happen?

As the strongest person in the world, the Soul King can become a powerful person even if you only get a small fragment of his body.

For example, those miserable Fullbringers in the past had fragments of the Soul King in their souls, so they were able to awaken Fullbring. However, Fullbringers would be attacked by Hollows when they were still fetuses, and would be hunted by the Grim Reaper when they grew up. They were miserable.

There is no doubt that if he absorbs this big piece of meat in front of him, his spiritual pressure will definitely get a qualitative leap, but... is it really flawless?

The Spirit King knew that Yamabuki Ditang would be confused, so he said gently, "I won't force you. I will give you the right to choose. Of course, if you don't absorb this piece of meat, the future battle..."

Yamabuki Ditang was very conflicted. There is no free lunch in the world, and there must be something mysterious about this.

"Can you tell me how long it will take for the war to start?" Yamabuki Ditang asked. It would be great if he could get some information in advance so that he could make more preparations.

"Half a year. After half a year, the war will begin." said the Spirit King.

"Is there really no other way except to absorb this piece of meat?" Shanbuki Ditang confirmed again. The Spirit King did not say anything, and Shanbuki Ditang thought that the other party agreed.

If one wants to fight with Yhwach, he must at least reach the level of Yamamoto Bankai. With his current strength, he can barely fight against Captain-General Shikai, but facing the Bankai's Zankai-dachi, he is like a child. The gap is too big.

He didn't think he could reach that level in half a year.

The world is a beautiful place. I have so many friends around me. Unohana even lives with me. Maybe I can go further in the future. I also have a black-bellied loli for my entertainment. Although I don’t get a salary, my life is already very good. I really don’t want to die.
