A foreigner's journey

The first to notice something was wrong were the captains, Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni and Kyūo Kaido.

One person and one dragon were originally fighting hard in the sky, but at the same time they stopped and looked at the billowing flame cloud above their heads.

The clouds of fire that were originally dyed dark red by the infinite flames turned into black clouds as thick as lead at some point, with no end as far as the eye could see.

What was blowing in the sky was no longer a heat wave, but a sharp and harsh howling wind.

"[Tianxiang Conglin]...whose Zanpakutō is it?"

The captain is well-informed and can naturally recognize that this kind of weather phenomenon can only be the effect of the liberation of the Zanpakutō.

As the name implies, everything in the sky is under its control. In the history of Soul Society, there are only two Zanpakutō with this terrifying ability, namely the strongest Zanpakutō of the Ice and Snow type [Daigurren Hyōrinmaru] and the strongest Zanpakutō of the Thunder type [Huanghuang Enrei Rikyu].

But the strange phenomenon in the sky now does not belong to either of the two Zanpakutō. Could it be the master of the Arrancar side?

Thinking of this, the captain looked at the giant blue-scaled dragon in the distance, and unexpectedly found that Kaidou's dragon head also showed a slightly doubtful look at this time.

Not from the Arrancar side? Who could that be?

The captain was a little surprised. Could it be that the Gotei Thirteen had another genius that was rare to see in a century? Not only did he break through the awakening Zanpakutō before the battle and liberate it, but he also achieved the first release of [The Heavenly Form Comes], which even surpassed his own, the strongest Zanpakutō [Ryuenwakatsu] and the King of Hueco Mundo's. The hot environment caused by the collision of dragon breaths.

If that were the case, the commander-in-chief wouldn't mind promoting him to a vice-captain or even a captain.

After all, the Gotei Thirteen had been tortured by Aizen, and now was the weakest period in a century.

Aizen, who was scolded by the captain in his heart, also looked surprised at this moment.

Heather was still sitting on him, holding the Qian Dao Ban disguised as a shallow strike with her right hand, looking thoughtful.

As the Thousand Swordsman in his hand shook slightly, the endless black clouds in the sky also rolled and surged, and the howling wind became more and more rapid.

Ukitake raised his eyebrows slightly: "Heather, I would like to ask, where did you get the shallow hammer in your hand?"

He would not be wrong in his judgment. This shallow stick was gradually releasing its power in Heather's hands, and it was transforming into the scenery in Heather's heart.

Heather did not look back at Ukitake. She still held the knife in front of her with her right hand. She held her chin with her left hand as if she was fishing out of boredom, with her eyes closed:

"Ah? You said this knife was given to me by a hospitable member of the Third Division. I don't even know his name. He is such a good man."

Aizen didn't speak, just stared at the Thousand Swordsman in Heather's hand, and the shape of the sword began to become distorted. Aizen understood that it was not the shallow attack itself or something wrong with his eyes, but that the knife was trying to reflect Heather's 'soul'.

But that's exactly the problem, because only the God of Death can possess the Zanpakutō, which is the outer soul built based on the Soul of the God of Death himself.

The Arrancars are different. The Arrancar's 'Zanpakutō' is actually their 'spiritual core'. Liberating the Zanpakutō means returning to their barbaric posture when they were the Great Hollow, so it is also called the 'Returning Blade', which is similar to the 'Returning Blade'. The release of the Shinigami's Zanpakutō is not the same thing.

Aizen was originally very sure that the black-haired young man in front of him was a human being, but now looking at Heather's posture, he was not so sure.

Can humans really awaken the Zanpakutō?

Heather couldn't answer this question, because he originally used the appearance of the Sentōru to disguise the murderous sword Ji Hanayu as a Zanpakutō.

He wants to take advantage of the opportunity of the spirit son to transform into a body to talk to the vicious sword, which is also called "Sword Zen". The Shinigami can talk to his Zanpakutō with the help of Tozen, and there's no reason why Heather can't.

The Arrancars and Shinigami who were fighting gradually stopped and looked up at the sky.

The boundless sky was shrouded in endless black clouds. The clouds were rolling and churning like wild waves, and faint thunder could be heard deep in the clouds.

Small gravels on the ground flew up under the strong wind, and a large amount of wood chips and sand flew into the sky together, forming a dark tornado.

Click! A winding silver snake streaked across the sky, followed by thunder.

What was a hot hell-like scene just a moment ago turned into a doomsday picture of raging winds and dark sky in the blink of an eye.

Hisagi Shuhei supported Tetsuzaemon at the shooting range and looked at the terrifying vision in the sky in disbelief: "Is this the Tenshou Riin? It feels scarier than Captain Hitsugaya's Hyōrinmaru!"

Hitsugaya Toshiro also had the same idea. He felt that the Hyōrinmaru in his hand was trembling slightly, as if he was angry or amazed.

"What happened, Hyōrinmaru?" Hitsugaya asked Hyōrinmaru in his heart.

In the inner world filled with wind and snow, the huge ice dragon with wings on its back looked down at Hitsugaya Toushiro and said slowly: "The strange [sword] is awakening. You have to be careful, Toushiro."

"[Sword]? Is it a Zanpakutō?"

"It's not clear, but what is certain is that the most terrifying 'storm' is about to appear."

Withdrawing from his inner world, Hitsugaya Toshiro looked up at the increasingly restless black clouds in the sky and murmured: "Storm..."

At this moment, Heather's inner world was also literally 'turbulent'.

The originally endless dark wilderness was now shrouded in endless storms, and nothing could be seen clearly. Only the bonfire kept swaying in the storm but showed no sign of being extinguished.

Heather stood in front of the bonfire with her hands in her pockets, looking into the dark and violent rain, letting her whole body get wet from the storm.

In the endless storm, a figure loomed, its orange-red eyes looking at Heather through the distant and heavy rain curtain.

His eyes were emotionless, like an aloof god unstained by the world.

"I understand. You have always had your own will from the moment the recasting was successful. But you never planned to communicate with me. If I want to use your power, you just let me use it. There is no instruction manual and no after-sales guarantee. , you don’t care at all even if I get lost in ‘divination’, because it’s all my own choice.”

Heather wiped the rain off her face and grinned:

"You are more like a [sword] than Qishi."

Heather had already found it strange. The fusion of Thunder Wolf Dragon and Mao Che could have all their original consciousness. Why did they not have their own consciousness after absorbing the fierce sword of Sky Dragon God Jade?

It is like a silent bystander. Heather can use the power of the murderous knife if she wants, but it will not provide any protection for Heather or harm him. No matter how things develop, it is Heather's own choice, and it is just 'watching'.

This is not hatred, nor kindness, nor curiosity. To be honest, it doesn't have any 'emotion' that can be described by humans.

Knives are supposed to have no emotions.

The figure in the rain curtain did not speak, but the figure became more and more illusory, and seemed to be preparing to leave.

"Still don't want to communicate?"

Heather tilted her head:

"But you can't deny that I am your creator and master. Now, let's understand the characteristics of the Shinigami world [Sword Zen] together. Don't refuse."

In Soul Society, the boundless black clouds stirred into a huge whirlpool, and directly under the eye of the whirlpool was Heather.

The heavy rain came with strong winds, and all the Arrancars and Shinigami were soaked by the rain, but no one tried to protect themselves from the rain. They just looked in the direction of the center of the whirlpool. Because they secretly felt that something big was about to happen.

At this time, both Aizen, Ukitake and the captain in the distance could feel Heather's spiritual pressure rising sharply at this time.

"This is..." Ukitake, who had witnessed many Shinigami team members awakening their Zanpakutō, widened his eyes.

This spiritual pressure continued to rise. When it reached a certain critical point, Heather suddenly opened her eyes and laughed:

"I see, this is the Zanpakutō!"

He stood up and raised his Zanpakutō high. Under the baptism of strong winds and heavy rains, the blade of Qian Dao Chu was wrapped in whirlwind and water flow, and its appearance changed drastically.

The blade became extremely long, reaching two meters in length. The blade's jaw was lined with solemn golden magatama vertically, and the blade whistled softly in the wind.

At this moment, Heather's voice echoed through the sky of Soul Society——

"[The vicious knife opens the eyes and causes flowers to rain]!"
