Alchemist in Death

Chapter 245 Divine Fire Seal
Standing in front of Kuchiki Xianghe, who was wrapped in golden flames, both Stark and Bailegang were somewhat silent.

Mission failed...

Moreover, Tenshin Ichiro's power far exceeded their imagination...

The power to manipulate time...

Stark glanced at the area covered by the forbidden spell and the area not covered by the forbidden spell that was still collapsing, and was secretly shocked. If this time stop affected part of his body, then...

The result is not difficult to imagine. Suddenly, Stark's fear of Ichiro became even more intense.

"This mission... should be considered a success, right?" Bailegang, who was released from the sword, was holding his axe, and looked at Kuchiki Xianghe with some confusion, who was firmly sealed by Ichiro with golden flames.

Aizen just asked him to pick up Kuchiki Hibiki to avoid being taken back or killed by Ichiro. Although he is sealed now, the mission should be considered completed... right?

Stark glanced sideways at this extremely face-saving companion beside him, feeling a little speechless in his heart, what do you call this mission success?But now he is troubled by Ichiro, a troublesome enemy, and has no time to talk to Bailegang, so he casually echoed: "Well, almost, it should be counted."

Balegang: "."

Stark's unabashedly perfunctory tone made Balegang speechless, but he also knew that his statement was untenable, so he did not continue speaking, but looked at the golden pillar of fire in front of him, Silent.

This is the first time they have seen such a tricky seal
"How about it? In your opinion, can Sal Apollo lift this seal?"

Bailegang shook his head decisively: "This is not his area of ​​expertise. It would be better to let Aizen come."

Stark glanced at Balegang in surprise and nodded slightly. He thought so too.

On the other hand, Ichiro, who was running in the dark, seemed a little silent. What happened to Kuchiki Xianghe made him feel lucky that he met a good teammate and a good teacher.

Ichiro is very clear that he is now able to dominate the situation in Jinglingting, to a large extent, because of the captain.

Without the captain, it would be impossible for him to progress so fast in his early stages, and naturally he would not be able to speed up his learning of the ghost way by analogy. Without the captain, he would not be able to use the sword of eight thousand streams, and he would probably have died in the orangutan Daxu's subordinates.

What's more important is that if he hadn't met the captain, he would have defected from the Soul Society long ago with his often chaotic character.

From this point of view, there is not much difference between him and Kuimu Xianghe, except that Kuimu Xianghe turns on the reckless state for a long time, and turns on the calm sage mode for a few periods of time.

Ichiro, on the other hand, is the opposite of Kuchiki Kyoukawa. He is in the calm sage mode for a long time and in the reckless state a few times.

However, the impact of this difference is not very big, and they may defect directly in the end.

After all, a lot of Ichiro's research was to challenge the bottom line of Jing Ling Ting. In the early days, he relied on the captain to support him. Otherwise, no matter how talented he was, he would not be able to achieve what he has achieved today.

No, let alone today’s achievements, they may not be much different from the current Kuchiki Xianghe. He was also plotted and plotted, and in the end, it could only end miserably...

Therefore, even though he had completed the task assigned by the captain, Ichiro's expression was not very good, let alone, after seeing Kuchiki Xianghe's collapse...

Although the contact was very short, the principle and purpose of this collapse of jade has not been clarified, but there are a few things that can be determined. First, from the details, it is certain that this is Urahara's handiwork. Ichigo is very familiar with it and it is impossible to admit his mistake. Secondly, This collapse of jade is absolutely inseparable from the transcendent transformation of the Zero Division!

It can even be said to be a sublimated version of transcendental transformation!
Third, the collapse of jade only started after Muramasa died, so it is probably related to the Zanpakutō.

At present, Ichiro only knows this, and he doesn’t know much more. For example, what is the purpose?What is the difference between humanoid Bengyu and Bengyu?Why choose Kuchiki Xianghe?Is it really just because he is easy to calculate?
Questions came one after another, making Ichiro even more agitated. Therefore, it would be troublesome to compete with Lao Yin, especially two Lao Yin...

Soon, Ichiro passed through the long black cavity, then bypassed Skynet, and quietly returned to Soul Society.

"Father, what happened? You look... a little strange?" The moment Ichiro appeared, Yueling's figure quietly appeared behind Ichiro, as if he had already known that he would come out from here.

Yue Ling looked at Ichiro with some doubts, because Ichiro's current expression was, well, very funny. She could see that expressions of contemplation, doubt, gratitude, excitement, etc. coexisted on Ichiro's face, just like a fan chart.

"It's nothing... some... just doubts. I'll show you something later." It seemed that he was affected by Yueling's own force field. Ichiro's confused heart quickly calmed down after Yueling appeared.

It was as if a clear stream flowed through his soul, and his thoughts suddenly became clear. What is Urahara's plan and what does it have to do with him?Anyway, it is impossible for Urahara to destroy the Soul King and destroy the Fourth Division or the Thirteenth Division, so what he does has nothing to do with Ichiro.

What conspiracy does Aizen have and what does it have to do with him?

He is not the ruler of the Soul Society, not to mention that he actually wants to get the Soul King, so he is just worrying about a hammer.

Thinking of this, Ichiro felt much better instantly. A smile appeared on his face. He slightly raised his gloved left hand and snapped his fingers in a showy manner.

"Crack~"

"Peng~"

After a clear snap of his fingers, a black spiritual pressure appeared on Ichiro's fingertips, exuding a shuddering aura.

"Is this... the power of death that represents aging? Did my father meet Bailegang?" Yue Ling looked at Ichiro in surprise.

Mastering this thing means more than just a bug ability to Ichiro.

The power of death in Balegang is essentially a power of time, which is why it is so powerful. Time is the most difficult ability to master in this world!

The same is true for Ichiro. Even now, he has little understanding of the power of time. The forbidden technique of stopping time is an example. He can only release it, but cannot control it or even modify it in detail.

Like the earlier idea, it is impossible to suspend the time of the heart alone and directly cause you to die suddenly.

Therefore, Ichiro has actually been looking for traces of the power of time, trying to study more things from it. For example, he learned how to stop time after analyzing the power of Amakusa Kiritsugu's Zanpakutō.

It's a pity that he is too weak and can analyze very little, which is only enough to support him in learning to stop time.

So Yueling knew that Ichiro had been planning to deal with Bailegang, but he met him by chance and successfully achieved his goal.

"Congratulations, father." "..." Looking at the faint smile on Yue Ling's face, Ichiro felt a little uncomfortable, although he also knew that with Yue Ling's personality, it was already very rare to be able to smile, but!

He is showing off!
Suddenly, he lost all interest, casually waved away the black spiritual pressure from his fingertips, disappeared, and rushed towards Jinglingting.

"Tsk~ Let's go back."

Yue Ling smiled and nodded, then disappeared and followed Ichiro.

After a while, the invisible Ichiro and Yue Ling quietly passed through the barrier of the Murderous Stone without attracting anyone's attention. Then Yue Ling showed up at the research institute and performed a late cutscene to show that they had not left the Soul Society.

Ichiro, on the other hand, quietly went to the first team.

Captain's Office
"Huh?" The captain, who had just finished handling the team duties and was closing his eyes to rest, suddenly opened his eyes in surprise, looked at the sudden appearance of Ichiro, and frowned, "Why are you here? Is it done?"

"Well, he didn't run too far, he was sealed by me."

"Are you sure the seal is okay?"

"Don't worry, Captain, I'm using the Holy Flame Nirvana Nine-turn Reincarnation Swastika Spell to Suppress Evil, it's absolutely foolproof!"

"Sacred Flame Nirvana Divine Fire Seal, right? Understood."

"No, no, no, it's not the Divine Fire Seal, it's the Holy Flame Nirvana Reincarnation Swastika Spell to Suppress Evil!"

"." The captain looked at the stubborn Ichiro, a little speechless. You didn't even notice. Did you miss two words this time?

Rubbing his brows, the captain sighed deeply. It didn't matter to him that the name was strange, but can you remember it anyway?If you say a move ten times, it will be different ten times. Are you so careless?
"No matter what it is, just make sure there's no problem. Where did you seal it?"

"Hueco Mundo, he ran away, and it took me a lot of effort to find him."

"Of course the old man knows it's a false circle! You make such a big noise! ​​Idiots can't find it!"

"Ahh~"

"What's wrong with Xiaojian? Are you sick? Do you want to go and see Xiaotang?"

"I don't know, but it's probably not the case. Tell me, how do you use this sword technique?" Kenpachi looked at the brand-new Zanpakutō in his hand, frowning and thinking.

"Idiot Xiaojian! Didn't I say that? This way, this way, and then this way, that's all!"

"Oh, I understand, I'll try again."

Ikkaku: "???"

The one watching from the side tilted his head, and his eyes were full of doubts. Is there something wrong with my comprehension ability?She just lay on your shoulder without moving, and said three "this", you understand?Have I become stupid?
One corner, lost in thought.
Yumichika on the side looked at Ikkaku who was lost in thought speechlessly. Sure enough, only an idiot would study an idiot's ideas.
"I'm asking where you are sealed in Hueco Mundo?"

"Uh, I don't know. I don't have a map of the surface of the virtual circle. No, there is no such thing at all. The surface is about the same length except for the Xuye Palace. I can't draw the map. Do I have to untie it when the time comes? "

"That's not necessary. I am worried that if it is in Hueco Mundo, it will be cracked by some special abilities of the Great Void, such as the ability of the King of Hueco Mundo, Balegang, to corrode all things."

"Don't worry, the seal of the Holy Flame and Divine Fire is very stable. It's absolutely impossible... uh... holy shit, the seal is broken!"

".Are you sure you sealed it?"

"Sure, but it's okay. Only the outer layer was broken. The most important seal has not been broken, and it cannot be broken, unless..."

virtual circle
".Unless you kill him!"

"Why?" Stark asked Aizen curiously.

Aizen put away the jade in his hand and looked at Kuchiki Hibiki lying peacefully on the ground and said: "Tenshin Ichiro put three seals on Kuchiki Hibiki in total. The first one is the outer flame seal. That kind of magic In addition to the powerful sealing ability, the flames can also drive away the void, and the defense ability is also strong."

Bailegang nodded. He had tried it before. If his power of death was not at full strength, he would not be able to break through the defense, but at full strength, he couldn't control his strength, and it would be dangerous.

"However, this layer of seal is also not difficult in front of Bengyu. What is really difficult is the last two layers of seals. The first is the layer that seals his body. Strictly speaking, this is not even a seal, but a buff state."

"Buff status?"

"Yes, in this state, Kuchiki Xianghe's life level will undergo unimaginable changes, so he will not wake up."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Bailegang frowned.

"Yes, in theory, this is a good thing, but it is only theoretically. First of all, what is the higher-level life form? I don't think Tenshin Ichiro has the answer, because the benefit effect of this evolution is currently endless. He It will continue to evolve, and secondly, the total number of spirit sons is constant, and the upward evolution of life levels requires a lot of energy, and Kuchiki Xianghe's strength is obviously not enough to support this kind of evolution, so it will take a long time."

"So, the only way to break the seal is to kill him?"

"For now, that's it. Let's talk about the third seal. This is the seal that surprised me the most. This seal is the seal that seals Kuchiki Kyouga's Zanpakutō. It should be to prevent Kuchiki Kōkawa's Zanpakutō Muramasa from becoming an entity. He is looking for a way to break the seal. His Zanpakutō is quite special. It is indeed possible, but what makes me curious is that the Zanpakutō Muramasa has been destroyed. Even if it is reforged, Kuchiki Hibiki must be involved. , This, always feels a bit intriguing, is there any purpose?"

Aizen stroked his chin and pondered, looking at the dead wood Xianghe lying on the ground, he couldn't help thinking about another possibility, could no one have discovered his connection with the dead wood Xianghe, which is very similar to Xu's Reiatsu Could the purpose of his existence be to kill the dead wood and sound the river?And he just happened to be involved at that time?

If so, could Ichiro's behavior be related to this matter?

Thinking about it, Aizen gradually looked at Kuchiki Xianghe with more curiosity. Things were becoming more and more interesting.
"I see." After listening to Ichiro's description of the effect of the seal, the captain nodded. There was indeed no solution to this kind of seal, and then asked, "Then if the seal is lifted, wouldn't he become stronger?"

"No!" Faced with the captain's question, Ichiro flatly refused, "The so-called higher life form does not exist at all. It is just undergoing disorderly evolution, such as sleeping more soundly and having less hair. It will fall off, stay up late, and you won’t get dark circles under the eyes or other messy and useless things, and it will also evolve in reverse if it’s not suitable, so you don’t have to worry about him becoming stronger after breaking the seal.”
