Hell? Ji Xing had already guessed halfway that the characteristics of Lucia that he didn't know about or understand could only be related to hell.
At the beginning of the birth of the world, hell has naturally existed, earlier than Hollow, and earlier than the Spirit King. In order to prevent all human beings who had no life and death in the ancient times from gradually turning into Hollow, so that in the end there will be only one Devourer left in the world. With the great void of heaven and earth, the Soul King divided the world into the real world, Hueco Mundo and Soul Society, but he could not control hell.
He could only allow the three realms he divided to join the cycle of adapting to hell. I don’t know what kind of standards the rules of hell are used to judge. In short, most people who have committed the most heinous crimes cannot go to Soul Society or Hueco Mundo after death. Instead, they will be taken to hell and performed in such a harsh environment. Atonement.
Those bound by the chains of hell are called guilty ones. They will sink into the torture of hell forever, be constantly killed by the guards of hell, and be resurrected again and again, enduring pain for eternity until their hearts give up completely and turn into sand and wither.
This is basic information that most of the Shinigami know, and there are things from hell everywhere around us, such as the hell butterfly that guides the Shinigami through the gate that cuts through the world, the knot that cuts off the boundary, and the hell that opens when the soul buries the most evil person. door.
However, Soul Society also has strict orders that the God of Death must never peek into Hell, let alone enter Hell! Hearing Aizen's answer, Byakuya's expression froze slightly, while Renji blurted out: "The breath of hell? A hell that only the most guilty can enter? Nonsense, how could Rukia have that kind of thing?! "
"Only the most sinful people can enter hell?" Aizen said warmly: "No, this is not accurate. Kuchiki Byakuya, who was born in the four great nobles, you should know, and Yono-san must also understand that in addition to the most evil people, there is another kind of hell. After death, people will fall into hell... Yes, us. It may take a while, Vice Captain Abarai. By the time you master the swastika, you should be qualified to go to hell. We also learned this at Mao Spiritual Arts Academy Okay, Soul Funeral Festival." Renji's eyes widened in astonishment.
This term is indeed familiar. The Mao Spiritual Arts Academy teaches that because the captain-level Death God's pressure is too strong, it is difficult to find peace after death, and it is difficult to turn into souls and return to the cycle of Soul Society. Therefore, a soul funeral ceremony must be held for them to completely free their souls. .
He also experienced it once, 43 years ago, when he was still at the Mao Spiritual Arts Academy, the soul funeral ceremony of the seventh division captain Aikawa Ratake who died in battle!
Could it be that...he subconsciously looked at Byakuya and Ji Xing and found that neither of them showed any surprise. Aizen also continued: "That is not a ritual to bring peace to the soul. A Shinigami captain with a third-level spiritual power or above, whose spiritual pressure is so strong that it cannot be degraded naturally after death, then they are garbage to Soul Society, and their souls are The funeral ceremony is a ceremony to send all the garbage to hell." Renji's breathing stopped briefly.
Is this the truth? The captains who fought and sacrificed for Soul Society, will their souls go to hell after death?
! And was he sent to hell by his friends to be tortured? ! Captain Luo Wu is the same, Captain Byakuya is the same after his death, and I may be the same in the future...
"There is nothing that can't be shaken, Renji." Byakuya said in a deep voice: "If a Shinigami with a third-level spiritual power or above is not restricted, it is enough to make ordinary spirits collapse immediately at the sight of it. This powerful power will lead to hell after death. The price has been the same for millions of years, so there is no need to be resentful. Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy did not teach the truth about ordinary death soul funeral rituals, and it just did not want to cause greater chaos. It was not its intention." Lingwei and Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy Spiritual power levels are different ways of grading the pressure of the death god and the density of the soul, covering a wider range.
The spiritual power level of ordinary team members who are not chief officers is generally around the 20th level. As they grow up, the number of spiritual power will become smaller and smaller. The deputy captain is from the fourth to the sixth level, and the captain is the third level and above.
However, most of the current captains of the Seireitei are third-level spiritual powers. Unohana Retsu and Zaraki Kenpachi can be second-level. Ji Xing was originally at the upper level of the second-level, and he was fully stimulating the fragments of the Soul King's internal organs. At this moment when the power enters the 'Complete Holy Body', it may be possible to enter the first level of spiritual power.
The souls of these people are immortal after death and will not re-enter the spirit cycle. For the Soul Society, they are naturally 'big garbage' that needs to be dealt with.
But as Byakuya said, this is the underlying rule of the world, not a conspiracy, and concealing the truth is mostly out of good intentions.
Ji Xing only observed the unconscious Rukia in Aizen's hands and said: "She comes from hell?"
"I'm not sure." Aizen smiled and shook his head: "We know very little about the situation in hell. I just made a reasonable inference based on some of the known information. I'm waiting for verification. But there is one thing It makes me very happy, and it's something I've been verifying today, that is, you, Yono-san, who 'knows' everything, don't seem to know much more about hell than an ordinary Shinigami. You 'don't know' about hell." Who. Why did Kubo only draw an Easter egg and the beginning of the chapter on the 20th anniversary of the Death God, but nothing happened in the follow-up?
But thinking of the easter egg, Ji Xing thought of something more - it was Rukia, the trainee Shinigami, and Renji's daughter Abarai Maika. That child could detect visitors from hell that even captain-level Shinigami couldn't detect. of spiritual pressure!
Isn't her specialness an accidental mutation? Is it something inherited from Rukia?
"I really don't know about Hell, but Vice Captain Aizen is a bit humble." Ji Xing said: "It should be the power of Hell that allows the Luo Yinde brothers to escape the control of Yhwach and follow you, and allows those Arrancars to escape my Zanpaku. What the sword absorbed should be that you can already use the power of hell."
"To be precise, it's called the meaning of hell." Aizen corrected: "The will of this special 'existence' of hell. But it is just a very superficial application, and it only allows them to be contaminated with the phosphorus of hell in advance. If it can be done with Yono San absorbs their souls and becomes contaminated with phosphorus gas, and sends Yono-san to hell, so it can barely be considered useful."
"Sounds really dangerous." Aizen smiled: "No, I'm still far away. Sending Yono-san to hell may not be an effective action. But I still want to say thank you, thank you Yono-san for helping me. All my subordinates were sent to hell to give them the opportunity to transcend the shackles of talent and move to a higher level." All the Ten Arrancar Blades possess spiritual pressure above the level of a Shinigami captain and above, and possess spiritual power above the third level. , you will definitely fall into hell after death!
Starting from Grimmjow, Ji Xing had sent away six of them in the previous battle, so Aizen's gratitude... was it sincere?
Ji Xing couldn't help but smile and said: "The feeling of Vice Captain Aizen has really not changed at all, so don't be polite for this little effort." At his side, compared to the relatively calm Byakuya, Renji didn't pay much attention to these conversations. He understood but didn't care too much. He just gritted his teeth and said: "How on earth did Lucia... get related to Hell!" Aizen didn't mind that the conversation with Ji Xing was interrupted, and just smiled and said: "In my guess , she is a light, the light of hell.”
"Not to mention the innocent people who were sent to hell with third-class spiritual power and above, are there really no wronged and innocent people who are sinking into hell?" He told the story warmly: "The rules of hell are cold and emotionless. There are too many possibilities in the words "heinous crime". A filial son who tortures and kills his enemies to avenge his father and mother? A warrior who kills countless invaders to defend the country? In terms of the rules of hell and the amount of blood involved, They are all "heinous" people, but they all have light in their hearts. That light protects them. Even if they sink in hell for countless years, they will not change their will due to the torture of hell. And this light, for hell, It's 'garbage' that cannot be degraded again." Ji Xing understood what Aizen meant.
Just like third-level spiritual powers and above must sink into hell, it is not the spiritual pressure that determines whether hell should continue to be tortured, but the soul.
The essence of Rukia is the 'light' that hell cannot decompose and is returned! Lucia actually has such a big background?
Although Aizen said it was just a 'guessing', Kuchiki Byakuya knew that if it was just a guess, Aizen Sosuke would not be able to take such a risk.
He was silent for a moment and said: "I married Feizhen out of my own will, not out of the influence of the breath of hell."
"No, you don't need to separate the two. The civilian woman you like is Kuchiki Hijin who is affected by the breath of hell. It is not a separate hell breath, nor a separate civilian woman." Aizen smiled: "It's different Experiences and encounters constitute our complete and unique personalities. The same goes for me. Aizen Sosuke, whose plan was ruined by Yono-san and pursued hell, is the me you see in front of you, and the Aizen who used to look forward to the collapse of the jade It’s the same person, but not anymore.”
"...What do you want to do with Rukia?"
"Do a trial and verification." Aizen turned around and said, "Tōsen, are you ready?"
"Yes, Aizen-sama." Tōsen Kaname, who had been standing silently, responded and put his hand on the handle of the knife.
At the same time, streams of black substance with a strange aura quickly floated on Dongxian Yao's body, leaving several people watching helplessly as his spiritual pressure disappeared.
No, it is hidden by the phosphorus gas of hell!
"This guy..." The shocked Renji and Byakuya were stopped by Ji Xing's hand, so the phosphorus-stained Tosen Kaname's handle successfully touched the back of Rukia's head.
There was a brief silence. A ray of light suddenly illuminated the surrounding area. I saw that Lucia's body seemed to be covered with a thin layer of gauze, and it was like moonlight waving from her body. She was obviously an onion-headed girl, but Lucia at this moment was extremely beautiful!
The ability of the Zanpakutō is a reflection of the soul. It is probably no accident that Rukia has Shirayuki, the most beautiful Zanpakutō sleeve in the Soul Society!
Enveloped by the moonlight, the phosphorus gas on Dong Xian Yao's body was purified and disappeared. Aizen let go of Rukia's hand, but Rukia, who was still unconscious, did not fall, and even floated slightly.
In Renji's eyes widened in the face of the dazzling light, the light gradually gathered in front of Lucia, opening a dark red door!
The weird and dark lines, the two half-body skeletons greeting the guests, and the evil and unknown aura, it is undoubtedly the portal to hell!
Aizen, who has taken the initiative to open the door to hell many times, has confirmed that this door to hell is different from the previous ones. It does not come with the dangerous phosphorus gas of hell. As long as it is deeply contaminated, it will completely fall into hell. Phosphorus gas!
Everything went as expected. Rukia, who passed through Hell's Light Kuchiki, was able to open a relatively safe portal into Hell!
But as soon as the smile of having everything under control appeared at the corner of his mouth, Aizen suddenly felt a crisis. It's not from Ji Xing. No matter what the circumstances, he would never let down his guard against Ji Xing. This was true a hundred years ago, and it will be even more true a hundred years later.
Yamamoto Shigekuni is entangled with Hasward, Zaraki Kenpachi is looking for the wrong path, and Unohana Retsu is unwilling to take action, so who can bring me a crisis?
"That's it, that's it."
"Virtual Flash!" Aizen's voice was swallowed up by the roar. On the side of his head, a pitch-black gun handle suddenly appeared from another space, and fired a powerful blue virtual flash, swallowing his Head!
At the same time, Kuchiki Byakuya's Senbonzakura scattered instantly, slashing across the arc towards the bodies of Tosen Kaname and Ichimaru Gin, Renji hurriedly followed!
Spiritual pressure burst out, and weapons clashed with each other. The blue virtual flash suddenly penetrated several cells in the Black Rope Hell, and even lifted part of the dome. The blazing spiritual pressure was transmitted to the sky above Soul Society, allowing the outside world to People’s attention gathers!
The captain stared with deep eyes, Urahara Kisuke was surprised, Kenpachi, who had guarded the gate for a long time and only cut down a few enemies, came running over with excitement and laughter.
The location of Aizen's true body is no longer a doubt for Soul Society, and behind the bursts of gray sand, Aizen with slightly messy hair looks at the figure opposite.
"I should have thought that after killing Noyintra and the others, Yuno Sang found that he could not absorb the soul. He might change his strategy a little. Did he use the Perfection Technique to send you to a different space to hide the spiritual pressure? Stark , you betrayed me." The one who suddenly appeared and attacked Aizen was the first Arrancar, Stark, who had besieged Ji Xing with two Quincy guards!
The first person to respond to Aizen was Lilynite, the two guns in Stark's hands: "How dare you say betrayal?! We trust you so much, but you bastard deliberately let us die?! We didn't know what you just said. I heard it!" Stark then spread his hands and said, "You heard it, Lord Aizen, Lilynette and I don't really want to go to hell to break any shackles." Then he looked at Ji Xing: "Thank you for not saying anything before. The favor of killing.”
"This shot is my reward." Ji Xing said with a smile.
"That's it, I respect your choice, Stark." Aizen's tone remained calm, and he smiled at Ji Xing: "You really can't be careless for a moment, but with Ye Sang, the portal to hell I want has been opened, you Can you stop us?" Ji Xing looked at the dark red door and handed over the unconscious Rukia to Byakuya and Renji.
"But I got the key back. Please come in, Vice Captain Aizen, I will help lock it." —————————— pS: Rukia originally means light in Japanese. .
