A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 869 Chapter 862. Frozen Fear

"There is no reason to tell you what I reported to His Majesty, right?"

Facing the question from Hugolen Hasward, Ishida Uryū responded calmly.

He frowned slightly and looked at the man in front of him, and said in a calm tone: "Also, you seem to be very different from... your appearance during the day."

Yuglan Hasward replied calmly, "His Majesty and I are on opposite ends of the scale... During the period when Your Majesty resumed his identity as the father of the Quincy, I was given the 'Mask of the Dominator', and I and Your Majesty is... connected.

No, it should be said... Your Majesty, he is connected to all Quincy.

I'd better explain this to you first...

There is no need to use a probing tone. Since you are His Majesty's chosen successor, we have nothing to hide from you. "

"Is this so..."

Ishida Uryu's frown deepened.

He had long been confused.

This group of people clearly knew that they had a purpose in joining the Knights of the Star Cross, but both Yhwach himself and Yhwach's most trusted confidant seemed to have confidence in being able to control them.

Now listening to the other party's words, he seemed to understand the reason.

What Hugolan Hasward said next also confirmed his suspicion.

Yuglen Hasward's tone gradually became deeper, and the look he looked at Uryu Ishida became increasingly dangerous. He approached step by step: "Quinnies have the power to absorb the surrounding spiritual beings into their own strength, and this Among them, His Majesty is the only one who has the opposite ability, which is different from other people's plundering, that is, the ability to 'gift' souls to others.

When he was young, he could give his soul to others through touch. Soon after, he found a more powerful method - by directly engraving the 'words' that confer power on the other person's soul, he could transfer the possessor into something more profound. , giving the other party a more powerful soul. "

"Directly imprinted on the soul?" Ishida Uryu was a little surprised by this, "How is it possible to do such a thing..."

"It sounds incredible, but His Majesty is able to do this." Hugolan Hasward sneered as he approached, "Your soul... has also been marked long ago. Just when you drank His Majesty's When you gave me the blood, a part of His Majesty also entered your body.

You - you should understand the meaning, right? "

Hearing this, Ishida Uryu's pupils shrank sharply.

This is the meaning of what the other party said just now, 'All Quincy are connected to His Majesty'.

The reason why Yhwach is so relieved that he is staying here is simply because everything is under his control.

"What's that look in your face? Do you regret it? But it's too late."

Huguelin Hasward didn't seem to intend to continue to cover up, and said bluntly, "You probably agreed to our invitation because you wanted to avenge your mother, right? But it's a pity.

From the moment you accept our invitation, there is no way out.

If all those who are given the soul of His Majesty die, their power will be absorbed by Your Majesty.

And...his majesty's soul fragments...have been scattered throughout the entire Jinglingting in the previous battle.

This war is for His Majesty.

We, the Knights of the Star Cross, have previously...contacted all the Shinigami with His Majesty's soul.

Death is equivalent to offering one's soul to His Majesty. "

"!!!"

Ishida Uryu's hair stood up immediately when he heard this.

It turns out it's not just a Quincy...

Yhwach's goal is also the death of the entire Jinglingting Palace!

This terrifying guy is using that weird ability to gather power from everyone!

"That's right, you realize that, right?" Hugolan Hasward smiled contemptuously, "In this battle, no matter who dies... His Majesty's power will become stronger with each person who falls. "

As he spoke, the sky outside gradually became brighter.

"See? Dawn has arrived. It's time for Your Majesty to wake up."

"..."

Ishida Uryu was silent and covered in cold sweat.

He seemed to oversimplify things.

If you want to defeat Yhwach, relying on your own strength alone is not enough.

Maybe in the end... I still can only cry out to others for help.

On the other side, Rencimasa Abarai and Rukia Kuchiki, who defeated Masco do Maskulin, were looking for new enemies or Shinigami who needed to be rescued.

However, they didn't know that they were being targeted.

············

Kuchiki Rukia's figure kept flickering between the buildings.

"Really...I can barely feel the spiritual pressure of the Gotei...

Does this mean that the God of Death is at an absolute disadvantage?

Forget it... Thanks to the small amount of reiatsu, I easily discovered the reiatsu of Vice Captain Kotetsu..."

Yes, she had just transferred the seriously injured Hobashiro Juro and others whom Renji had entrusted to her care to Vice Captain Kotetsu for treatment.

But he took action first and looked for other goals.

At this moment, the situation on the Jinglingting side was extremely serious. There were countless casualties among the team members, and even the captain and vice-captain could hardly feel their spiritual pressure.

"It seems necessary-"

Just when Rukia Kuchiki was about to speed up her pace, an electric shock-like feeling spread throughout her body.

She felt as if she was being touched by cold hands on her naked body, and her whole body trembled.

"!?"

He looked back suddenly, but found nothing.

"What's going on? The feeling just now..."

Kuchiki Rukia's forehead was covered with cold sweat, "Is this the feeling of spiritual pressure? It's really an ominous spiritual pressure... Who is he? Hiding there?"

Her eyes looked around nervously.

Although there was nothing around her, she was sure that there must be enemies hiding nearby.

"Ah...are you scared?"

"I am very lonely……"

A murmuring voice suddenly sounded.

Let Rukia Kuchiki's hair stand on end again.

tread.

Hearing the crisp footsteps, Kuchiki Rukia looked back with a slight frown.

I saw a ghost-like figure wearing a white robe floating towards him.

It's a woman.

The woman kept mumbling. One of these words made her face turn extremely cold.

"So lonely...so lonely...so lonely..."

"Where is my... Senbonzakura?"

"!!"

Rukia Kuchiki stared at the woman in front of her with a gloomy expression, and the Zanpakutō at her waist slowly unsheathed, "Is that you? You are the Quincy who took away the eldest brother's Swastika - Ace Nott! "

"You know me?"

Ace Nott seemed a little surprised that the girl in front of her could call her name, but she soon calmed down.

"What a coincidence... I know you too. Kuchiki Byakuya's sister, Kuchiki Rukia... Where is Kuchiki Byakuya?"

"I have no obligation to answer you." Rukia Kuchiki looked cold.

"It doesn't matter..." Ace Nott didn't seem disappointed, but became excited, "Anyway, as long as he kills you, he will definitely bring something to your door!"

"Maybe."

Immediately, spiritual pressure burst out from both of them almost simultaneously.

Whoosh——whoosh——

Countless spiritual pressure light cones shot towards Kuchiki Rukia mercilessly.

But they passed through Kuchiki Rukia's figure without any resistance.

Because all that was left in place was her afterimage.

Kuchiki Rukia looked warily at the cone of light that hit where she was just now.

The place hit by these light cones seemed to be eroded and penetrated by something.

This is probably the ability of Ace Nott that Brother Byakuya, who saved his life, mentioned when he was practicing in Soul King Palace - fear.

This conceptually terrifying ability seems to be able to affect everything.

But... no matter how powerful the ability is, it means nothing as long as it can't hit.

Whoosh——

Facing the ice cone that struck again, Kuchiki Rukia waved her sword expressionlessly.

"Sode Shirayuki."

As she spoke, frost condensed in front of her, blocking the incoming light cone.

"Aha? It's useless!"

Seeing this scene, Ace Nott sneered, "'Fear' is not something that Ice can defend against!"

As he spoke, the light cone that hit the ice began to spurt out spiritual pressure as if it were real substance. It penetrated the ice in an instant and splashed onto Rukia Kuchiki who had no time to react.

"..."

Affected by 'fear', Kuchiki Rukia trembled and froze in place.

"Hahahahahahahahahaha——"

Ace Nott smiled contemptuously and looked at Rukia Kuchiki who seemed to be unable to move due to fear, "Can't you move? Are you at your wits' end? That's 'fear'! No one can..."

"Is this fear?"

Just when Ace Nott was proud, Rukia Kuchiki raised her head as if she was not affected at all, staring at her expressionlessly.

"In that case, what are your fears?"

"What did you say...?" Ace Nott obviously failed to understand the situation in front of him.

She was very confused as to why Rukia Kuchiki could talk to her like this even though she had been tricked.

"The fact that 'fear' doesn't work for me is the same as 'fear' for you, right?" Rukia Kuchiki asked calmly.

However, Ace Nott seemed completely unconcerned: "'Fear'... doesn't work for you? No... that's impossible!"

"Do you really think so?"

Rukia Kuchiki asked, "If you don't believe it... you can continue to try to influence me with your 'fear'. Then... taste your own fear carefully."

As she spoke, she slowly raised the white Zanpakutō in her hand, the expression on her face as cold as ice.

"Feel it well... Sode Shirayuki, the real power."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ace Nott seemed to not believe what Rukia Kuchiki said at all.

In her opinion, the girl in front of her was just trying to hold on.

Just like her brother before him.

He was clearly in fear, but he didn't even know it.

“No matter who you are, you can’t escape fear.

This is biological instinct!

Even if you don’t notice it yourself...but as long as you are alive, you will be instinctively afraid——"

"Yeah..." Rukia Kuchiki seemed to agree with Ace Note's point of view and responded lightly.

"??"

This made Ace Nott extremely confused.

"Now that you know...do you still have any reason to say that you won't be affected by fear?"

"Of course……"

Rukia Kuchiki replied expressionlessly, "Because as you said, you can't get rid of fear as long as you are alive.

That's why...I say fear doesn't work for me.

Still don’t understand?

Now I——

There is no life left to speak of. "

"..."

Ace Nott seemed unable to react for a moment, "What... do you mean?"

The next moment, as if in response to her, the frost began to spread.

Click——

The goggles worn on Kuchiki Rukia's forehead froze and cracked in an instant under the extremely low temperature.

"Sode Norayuki-" Rukia Kuchiki explained her Zanpakutō's ability calmly, "It is a Zanpakutō that can freeze its owner's body... to sub-zero temperatures."

"What...what..." Ace Nott's eyes flashed with disbelief, "That's nonsense! If the user's own body can be frozen to below zero, wouldn't this be suicide!?"

"Yes, in a sense, I am a dead person now."

Kuchiki Rukia said calmly, raising the Zanpakutō that exuded coldness in her hand. This sword seemed to be able to freeze all life at this moment.

"If the temperature drops below zero, the molecules will stop functioning. Under normal circumstances, people cannot survive in such conditions. But... I have mastered the technique of controlling my own spiritual son to kill the body in a short time. .

At this moment, all the molecular movements in my body have stopped, so even if your 'fear' poison enters my body, it cannot continue to move. "

"How can such a thing...be possible?" Ace Nott's eyes were full of disbelief.

"Nothing is impossible..."

Kuchiki Rukia's figure flashed past.

Click——

"!!"

Ace Nott looked over his shoulder in surprise.

A frozen knife wound slowly opened, and not a drop of blood seeped out.

The icy cold made her feel no pain.

But fear arose in my heart for no reason.

Now she...seems like she can't even feel the approach of death.

This unprecedented situation filled her with overwhelming fear.

"Eighteen degrees below zero... the blood will be frozen and there will be no blood flowing out of the incision."

Kuchiki Rukia said calmly.

Meanwhile, the surrounding issues continue to decline.

Condensation began to form beneath her feet and the ground began to tremble.

"Fifty degrees below zero... inside the ground where my feet touched, the water turned into ice, causing an 'ice shock'."

"!!"

Ace Nott seemed to realize that something was wrong and could no longer let the girl in front of him use her abilities.

She rushed towards Kuchiki Rukia desperately.

However... the whole person was frozen into an ice sculpture midway.

"Minus 273.15 degrees...absolute zero."

Kuchiki Rukia calmly stared at the frozen figure in front of her, and the white Zanpakutō in her hand slowly passed by, "At this temperature, my limit of movement is only limited to four seconds.

but……

It's enough to solve you. "

Click——

The body frozen by the frost was slowly cut open.

This is a temperature that can freeze even 'fear'. The frozen fear gradually shattered under the pure white blade filled with coldness and murderous intent.
