Just when the atmosphere at the scene was getting more and more solemn, Dongfang Yunsheng stood up and intervened:
"Mr. Quincy, if you are really an acquaintance of Kurosaki Masaki, shouldn't your top priority now be to save her first?"
Hearing this, Ishida Ryusei frowned. He looked at Kurosaki Masaki's painful expression and nodded helplessly.
However, although Kurosaki Masaki must be rescued first, neither the Death God's return nor the Quincy's rescue methods seem to be effective.
"Damn it...why...why doesn't it work!" Ishida Ryuuxian hammered the ground angrily.
At this time, he was deeply blaming himself. Why didn't he stop Kurosaki Masaki forcefully? If he had been tougher at that time, wouldn't what happened now be avoided?
As a burst of green light dissipated, Dongfang Yunsheng stood up and shook his head.
"Even Dongfang Sanxi...your reply doesn't work?" Shiba Isshin said with great reluctance.
He was aware of Dongfang Yunsheng's healing ability, but now it was of no help to Kurosaki Masaki's situation.
"If you want to save her, then come with me!"
Just when everyone was helpless, a soft voice came.
"Are you... Urahara Kisuke?" After seeing the person clearly, Shiba Isshin said in surprise.
According to reports from Soul Society, Urahara Kisuke is not a good person! Is this person trustworthy?
"Is it the God of Death again?" Ishida Ryuxian said with a gloomy expression.
As long as it's a god of death, they Quincy should be wary.
"There's no time to explain. If you want to save her, then come with me!" Urahara Kisuke said while pressing the brim of his hat.
...
In a vast dark space, Kurosaki Masaki's soul is gradually falling.
Silence, darkness, and loneliness filled the place, but what was incredible was that Kurosaki Masaki didn't feel any uneasiness at all.
There must be someone on the other side of the black hole who is missing her. Who is it?
Kurosaki Masaki slowly opened her eyes, and it seemed like she saw a vague shadow.
Suddenly, the shadow was getting closer and closer. It was a huge white mask, opening its bloody mouth and preparing to swallow her completely.
But Kurosaki Masaki didn't struggle. He just fell quietly, peacefully falling towards the big mouth.
Now, Urahara Shoten.
"I have been studying that girl's symptoms for nearly a hundred years!" Urahara Kisuke explained to everyone.
"So, you have a way to save Masaki, right? Quickly, let Masaki return to his original state!" Ishida Ryusei said anxiously.
But Urahara Kisuke did not start treatment, but quietly looked at the furious Ishida Ryugen.
After hesitating for a moment, Urahara Kisuke said slowly: "I never said that I would restore this girl to her original state!"
"What?" Ishida Ryuxian was stunned.
"Her state is called virtualization, and the so-called virtualization is to pour the virtual soul into another soul, thereby destroying the boundaries between souls, so that the target can be elevated to a higher level!"
"Therefore, once the target disappears, her soul will never be restored!"
Urahara Kisuke paused here, which made Shiba Isshin and Ishida Ryugen look very embarrassed. They didn't expect this thing to be so complicated.
But the words Urahara Kisuke added next made them show different expressions.
"Although it is impossible to restore this girl's soul, it is still possible to save her life!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Save Masaki quickly!" Shiba Isshin said hurriedly.
"Does this mean that the Quincy's power will be lost, and even the soul will be assimilated with the Hollow?" Ishida Ryusei clenched his fists and said extremely unwillingly.
If Kurosaki Masaki really becomes like this, even if he saves his life, his family will never allow their marriage again.
"Not only that, if you want to save her life and survive like a human being, you need a more powerful external force to intervene!"
"That is a powerful force that will stay with her until she dies. In this way, we can always suppress her deformation!" Urahara Kisuke turned around and glanced at Kurosaki Masaki, who was lying motionless on the bed.
"Nonsense!"
Finally, Ishida Ryusei couldn't bear it anymore and shouted from the bottom of his heart.
After venting, Ishida Ryuuxian twitched his body and said hoarsely: "There must be... there must be some other way?"
"Smart man, you understand quickly, but unfortunately, you have no choice!"
Urahara Kisuke looked at this young and vigorous Quincy, and then turned his eyes to Shiba Isshin beside him.
"If you really have a choice, it should be you...Shiba Isshin!"
Hearing this, Ishida Ryugen also turned his attention to Shiba Isshin.
After hearing this, Shiba Isshin seemed to finally understand the situation.
Do you want to replace Ryugen Ishida and protect Kurosaki Masaki?
This means that he will give up his identity as the God of Death and lose this powerful power.
After just a moment of thinking, his eyes became sharp and filled with unwavering will.
Dongfang Yunsheng, who witnessed all this, did not make any move to stop it.
Instead, while Urahara Kisuke was introducing Gisuke, he touched Kurosaki Masaki's body.
...
In the endless darkness, Kurosaki Masaki's body has floated to the mouth of the white mask.
Just when the bloody mouth was about to swallow Kurosaki Masaki, Shiba Isshin suddenly arrived, hugged the naked Kurosaki Masaki, and took her out of the dangerous situation.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to protect you!" Isshin Shiba said affectionately to Masaki Kurosaki's face.
At this time, the white mask in front of him suddenly closed his jaw and looked at them condescendingly, as if he was preparing for the next round of attack.
"Hey...Xu, now that I'm here, you can't even lay a finger on her!"
After saying that, Shiba Isshin drew out his Zanpakutō, and blue spiritual pressure instantly gathered on the blade.
A powerful Crescent Moon Celestial Strike was swung out by him, heading straight towards the huge white mask.
boom!
The crescent-shaped slash instantly split the white mask in half and exploded into fragments that flew in all directions.
"Aren't you the Shinigami from before? Are you here to save me?" Masaki Kurosaki looked at the familiar man in front of him and asked excitedly.
"Of course, needless to say!" Shiba responded immediately.
"Great, I knew you would come!" Masaki Kurosaki raised his hands and shouted happily.
"Hey, you making such a scene naked will affect me!" Isshin Shiba said with a red face as he hugged Masaki Kurosaki with one arm.
Just when the two were about to have some unwritten soul communication, a huge roar sounded, and the white mask that had just been split into pieces actually appeared again.
Only this time, its pupils are no longer pitch black, but different pupils composed of bloody red and eerie purple.
