boom--
Along with the violent roar, the earth couldn't help but tremble.
The swastika of Komamura's left formation, the Black Rope Tensational King, actually took a few steps back after receiving the powerful sword attack from Tosen, and even almost failed to stand firm under the powerful slashing force and fell. .
"!
Komamura Zuozhen felt the pain coming from Mingwang on his arm, and the boy's hole contracted for a while.
He really didn't expect that Dongxian Yao could exert a power that even King Ming could not compete with in such a small figure.
"It seems... you are really planning to fight me to the death!"
"Of course, I'm always serious."
Dongxian Yao's tone was mixed with suppressed and unspeakable anger, "'Revenge has always been my long-cherished wish, and it has never changed from the beginning! I have been waiting for hundreds of years for this! Repent, sinners! Your souls will return to the sky! And you will be reborn after your sins are purged!"
"I see……"
Komamura Zuozhen nodded seriously when he heard this, "I have misunderstood you all this time. If what you just said is true, then I think neither of us is wrong. What is wrong is just the decayed order and the corruption of it." They are just contaminated dirty people. Come to think of it... there is no need to say more, you insist on your justice, and I - will also implement my belief! Since it is impossible to avoid irreconcilable power, then use the knife in your hand to do it Let’s understand!”
"It's so ridiculous that you insist on your so-called 'faith' even though you know it's rotten..." Tōsen Kaname's tone was extremely gloomy.
"No, the belief I insist on is not the rules of Soul Society, nor the position of the God of Death, but just to repay a favor!" Komamura Zuozhen also roared filial piety, "My life was given by the captain, then The point where his sword points is where my belief lies! Even if I know that everything is destined to be unchangeable, my sword will not hesitate at all! Take the move!"
Buzz——
The violent wind pressure pressed against the ground, and the Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King suddenly lowered his figure and sheathed his sword.
This is Iai's attitude.
'Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King Ming' is indeed an extremely powerful 'Swastika', but as Tōsen Kaname said, it has the same fatal weakness, that is, during battle, all the damage received by 'King Ming' will be transmitted to the user. on the person.
With such a huge size, the enemy's attack is almost certain to hit. Once the swastika is used, Komamura's left formation is equivalent to giving up defense. Therefore, he usually defeats the enemy with one blow and never delays in combat, because Once it enters a war of attrition, not only does using such a swastika consume a huge amount of spiritual energy, but his body cannot bear it if he is injured too much.
In short, at this moment, the Komamura left formation bet everything on this sword.
This is the ultimate sword that he and King Ming used together, and they unite with their best intentions.
"Is this your limit?"
There was a bit of contempt in Tosen Kaname's tone, "In the end, I'm still just a swastika. Don't you understand? So far, I haven't shown my true power..."
As he spoke, he slowly raised the Zanpakutō in his hand.
He now has the power of the Hollow and the Shinigami. Just like the Masked Legion and the Arrancar, the Hollow is not a complete liberation of power. Some of the power is still preserved in the Zanpakutō. He can also perform sword liberation to release the power. Climb a level again. ….
Card--
The dark spiritual pressure began to expand from Dongxian Yao's body, covering his entire body. The only thing that could be seen was the exposed pale mask that was constantly breaking.
The ferocious curves on it look even more heartwarming. This is his true heart.
When he returned to the sword, he had completely liberated himself from the shackles on his body. The hypocritical mask of kindness and love that he once wore on his face was shattered at this moment, and the hatred suppressed deep in his heart began to burst out.
The Komamura Left Front said that he deceived his friends and subordinates? No, in fact, he was just deceiving himself, using a false mask to cover up his inner anger and hatred.
But now, he has nothing
No need to hide anymore.
So——the most ugliest and ferocious posture was revealed.
It is a disgusting, frightening, and avoidable existence, like the devil Beelzebub coming from hell, judging sin with arrogance and prejudice!
"Hundreds of Ways to Clear Out the Insects—'Crazy Add Crickets,'"
"!
! "
"Is this the power you got? Is this what you really look like deep inside? It's really...indescribable."
Looking at Tosen Kaname showing his returning posture, a trace of sadness flashed in the eyes of Komamura Zuozhen.
What makes Dongxian what it is today?
It is anger, resentment, and the already distorted justice that incompetent people like them cannot maintain!
He had also heard the story about Dong Xian's close friend mentioned by the other party. It was a story about a man who upheld good and righteous wishes and became a god of death but was persecuted by a corrupt person.
She is for justice.
She loved the world so much that she became the God of Death in order to bring justice to the world.
But the final solution makes people feel chilling and regretful.
Suddenly, the Komamura Left Front seemed to understand that there was no so-called 'justice' in this battle, but only 'victims, powerless rage, wanting to complete 'salvation, and them' by destroying everything. The perpetrators just pay the price and retribution for their incompetence and blindness.
From this point of view... it seems that putting down the knife in your hand and quietly waiting for destruction is the right choice, if the destruction can be followed by the arrival of a truly beautiful world.
But even so, his hand holding the knife still did not loosen at all.
He understands that he is no longer qualified to bear the burden of justice, but his remaining faith will not be shaken.
Even if it is for the captain alone, he must fight until the last moment.
No... this is not only for the captain, but also for his former best friend.
In fact, he had already felt that Dongxian's words were somewhat untrue. Dongxian said several times at that time, 'The world she loves,' and the justice she upholds, but she never mentioned... 'The world you love is How,,'How righteous are you yourself?
If only I had realized this earlier.
It must be very lonely to endure these long years alone, right?
"Come on—Tōsen!"
Don't fight for 'justice'.
This knife was just because his close friend needed salvation, and he gave it to him.
The next moment, violent fluctuations caused the surrounding buildings to shatter like weather. ….
A harsh sonic boom sounded, and the hundreds of meters in front of the Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King instantly turned into ashes.
This is a knife invisible to the naked eye.
Fast, almost to the extreme. The giant blade broke through the sound barrier at this moment, leaving a flickering arc in mid-air as if it was not affected by resistance, and the flowing curve was frozen at this moment.
What is surprising is that this mighty sword ended in an unimaginable calmness, as if it fell into the water.
"..."
Komamura Zuozhen raised his head and looked at the end of the blade, with a cruel smile on his face.
"Is this...your hatred...I'm sorry...my best friend."
"It's over, Komamura."
At the end of the giant blade, Tosen Kaname murmured calmly.
He raised his hands and easily caught the terrifying knife with one hand. Invisible ripples began to spread from the point where his fingers came into contact with the blade. The strange thing was that everything seemed to have returned to nothingness and nothing happened.
The other hand slowly pointed at the huge figure of the Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King in front of him.
As he spoke, the huge figure of the Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King began to collapse from the giant blade that came into contact with Tosen Kaname, and the figure of Komamura Zuozhen himself also gradually turned into a spirit and dissipated.
"Nine phases of killing."
The most difficult thing in the world is hatred.
With the help of Komamura Zuozhenwei
It seems that Bo's strength is not enough to resolve Tōsen Kaname's suppressed anger that has been suppressed for a hundred years. All he can do is lament his own incompetence. Just as he is helpless in the face of the decaying Soul Society, he is also incompetent at this moment.
"I'm sorry, Tetsuzaemon...I'm sorry, Hisagi...I'm sorry...Tousen...I really...can't do anything to you."
Yes, this sword that used all his strength could not have been blocked so easily.
Just because he stopped the blade at the last moment.
This battle, from the moment he understood that it was not a just battle, was over from the moment he said he was sorry.
"There is no need to apologize...Captain Komamura."
Looking at the figure of Komamura's left formation dissipating, Hizuoki Shuhei who appeared above Tōsen Kaname at some point said calmly, his tone full of sadness.
"Because of your efforts, I was able to... get so close..."
"Cut it off - the wind will die."
puff--
The Zanpakutō that penetrated Tōsen Kaname's head suddenly completed its transformation and changed form. The tip of the sickle grew in his head and instantly pierced his head.
"It's painful, isn't it? Captain Tosen. Overwhelmed by hatred and loneliness."
Hinoki Shuhei let go of the Feng Shi in his hand, and closed his eyes as if praying, "This tide of hatred has made you unable to even notice that I am approaching... Rest in peace, I hope you can find... ...yours'salvation."
"..."
Listening to this familiar voice, Dongxian was gradually enveloped in darkness.
He was a little confused.
Did you... lose?
When his body dissipated and his soul returned to the sky, he finally realized that he had really lost.
"Is there an unexpected guest?"
Hearing this voice, he turned his head in confusion.
He looked at the man sitting in front of him on a chair placed in the sky. ….
At this moment, there was a coffee table in front of this man, and mist floated from the two cups that had been prepared on the coffee table.
"I thought that you, who had become stronger, would never come here again, Tōsen."
Xuanhao took a sip of the hot tea in his cup and said with some emotion.
"Uh? Again?" Dong Xianyao was a little confused.
"Don't worry, do you want a cup of tea?"
Xuan Hao smiled and invited the other party to sit down.
The sky that Aizen and others mentioned many times is, of course, the barrier he has laid across the entire world.
In fact, he has been observing everyone's every move in the sky. Everyone who returns to the sky will be invited to have a cup of afternoon tea.
"Um...I'm sorry, 'King, ah, I let you down."
Dongxian wanted to kneel down on one knee, but seemed to be afraid to come forward and sit at the table.
"Even though he possessed such great power... he still failed."
"Then do you know the reason for your failure?" Xuan Hao asked.
"Perhaps it's like Hisagi said... I've been overwhelmed by hatred, right?" Tosen Kaname lowered his head.
"Then...let's have tea."
A familiar yet distant voice came.
"Forehead……"
Dongxian, who lowered his head, was slightly startled.
who is it?
How can it be……
How long has it been since he heard this voice?
This should be...a sound so far away that it spans life and death.
"how come……"
Dongxian raised his head in surprise, tears falling from his eyes unknowingly.
In front of him, the man who should have died long ago was smiling at him with a teacup in his hand.
Although he had never seen her before, he knew that her smile was as gentle as ever, without any distracting thoughts.
"How should I put it? I originally planned to reconstruct the world, resurrect her, and then bring her to you."
Xuanhao sat leisurely on the chair
On the bed, holding his chin with one hand, he looked at the reunited two souls with a smile.
"But since you are dead, let's reunite you in advance, right?"
"this……"
Dongxian looked at the king in front of him, and saw the happy smile that appeared on the other person's face for some reason. He felt indescribable and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Okay, let's have some tea."
Xuan Hao shook his head with a smile, and stretched out his hand to signal, "'Wash it away, take the extra stuff on you, and take your 'salvation' with you to the new world. In the next life... don't lose it again. It's hard for me to find it."
"Thank you for your kindness, 'King, ah——"
············
"Buzz——"
Mako Hirako held the ring at the end of the hilt of the liberated Zanpakutō, and the blade kept spinning in his hand, making a tooth-piercing sound.
"Your sword... looks really interesting, doesn't it?"
This was the first time Aizen saw Hirako Mako freeing his Zanpakutō. He was not in a hurry to attack, but looked at it with interest.
"Haha, it's not bad, isn't it?"
The look on Hirako Mako's face was no longer tense, because he had already felt it.
The backstroke in his hand was telling him that the person in front of him could be affected by its ability.
Therefore, there was no trace of pride in his words.
"No matter how much you praise it, I won't lend it to you."
"Well... I really want to study it." Aizen chuckled at the other party's joke, "After all, you have freed the Zanpakutō, but I don't feel anything special at all. Is it just a change of appearance? ? This is the first time I have seen such a useless Zanpakutō, so I am very curious. You said it can control the nerves 100%? Did I hear it wrong just now? "
"No, you heard that right, don't worry..."
Mako Hirako chuckled, "Don't you smell a nice smell?"
"Uh..." Aizen was slightly startled when he heard this.
"Haha - if you want to hold your breath now, it's already too late." A smile of success appeared on Mako Hirako's face. .
