Death: No cheats, take refuge in Aizen

Chapter 163 161. Forgotten memory, the return of Shuichi

Why did he appear in the Spirit King's Palace?

The memories gradually flooding into Higashino Shuichi's mind told him the answer.

That was still in the fictional future built by Akimi, the perfectionist. Higashino Shuichi asked Nigeya Oue and others to help him with special training in the name of fighting the enemy together.

Because Higashino Shuichi's reasons were very good, Nimeiya Wang Yue readily agreed to Higashino Shuichi's request.

After seeing Higashino Shuichi's Zanpakutō, the first special training plan he gave Higashino Shuichi was to help Higashino Shuichi completely liberate his Zanpakutō.

However, even though he is known as the God of Swords, he is the creator of all shallow attacks.

Nimaiya Oue has no way to directly let Higashino Shuichi's Zanpakutō complete the final form of the swastika. Instead, he can only complete the final liberation step by step according to its original setting. What Nimaiya Oue can do is Just speed up the process.

However, this involves a problem. Every time Higashino Shuichi's Zanpakutō further releases its abilities, it needs to use its own strength as a benchmark.

If you want Higashino Shuichi to gain substantial strength improvement in a short period of time, once or twice, it may be okay, but if the number is too large, even their Zero Division team can't bear it.

Therefore, Nigeya Wang Yue thought of a compromise, using his ability to deceive the Zanpakutō, and secretly changing the concept so that some gifts of foreign objects can also be regarded as an improvement of Higashino Shuichi's own strength.

After learning about this idea from Nimaiya Wang Yue, Higashino Shuichi immediately went to Ichibei of the Military Chief Division and asked the latter if he could give him a chance to be resurrected.

Because Higashino Shuichi knew the perversion of this guy, Ichibei, the military commander.

As the namer of all things in Soul Society, as long as Ichibei the Chief of Arms wants, he can erase the existence of any thing in Soul Society, whether it is living or dead, or let it disappear at will. Reappear.

Even if it is some conceptual content, it is the same.

Even if Ichibei, the military commander, accidentally kills himself, as long as there is one person in Soul Society who remembers him and speaks his name in his heart, this guy can be resurrected on the spot.

Life, which may be a very precious thing to other people, can be said to be worthless to Ichibei, the commander of the army.

Therefore, when Higashino Shuichi sought a chance to be resurrected on the grounds that he was worried that he would be attacked to death by Yhwach possessed by Akimi, Ichibei, the military commander, only thought about it briefly and agreed.

Because resurrecting a Shinigami is just a matter of reciting a name for Iphei, the military commander, it doesn't even cost him anything extra.

With Higashino Hideichi's reasons so good, Ichibei, the main military commander, couldn't find any reason to object.

Then, after Ichibei, the commander of the army, personally agreed, Higashino Shuichi revealed his ultimate purpose.

"However, Nimaiya Ouyue-sama told me that in order to complete the final liberation of my Zanpakuto as soon as possible, I'd better find more suitable gifts to serve as a symbol of increased strength.

Since Ichibei-sama, you promised to resurrect me once, can you transform this opportunity into a kind of ability and teach it to me?

It is the kind of ability that allows me to communicate with you when I am dying, and then you will definitely respond to my request and call out my name.

In this case, it is equivalent to killing two birds with one stone. "

Higashino Shuichi said it clearly, but in fact, he knew that this world was just a fictitious future, but what he was thinking about was how to use this ability to build relationships with members of Team Zero after returning.

Why would you use this ability when you are about to die?

After returning, who will know the promise that Higashino Shuichi made in this world?

Higashino Shuichi had no doubt that once the military commander Ichibei agreed to his request, the first thing he would do after he returned was to use this ability to communicate with the Zero Squadron.

Although none of the members of Team Zero are easy-going people, and they don’t have much sense of belonging to Soul Society, they may not necessarily receive special treatment because of Higashino Shuichi’s status as a Shinigami.

But Higashino Shuichi now has standard dialogue templates.

He came back from the future, revealed all the nonsense about Yhwach and the Invisible Empire, and coupled with the ironclad fact that he can directly communicate with Ichibei, the commander of the army, everyone in the Zero Squadron in reality will Do not believe?

Anyway, in this fictional world, everyone in Team Zero believed Higashino Shuichi’s nonsense.

As a fictional world created using the real future as a template, the reaction of the people in Team Zero can definitely be equivalent to the reaction of the people in Team Zero in reality.

At least Higashino Shuichi firmly believes so.

However, in the subsequent development, it is difficult for Higashino Shuichi to say whether he succeeded or failed.

Because the military commander, Ichibei, agreed to Higashino Shuichi's second request, but when it was implemented, it was in conjunction with Nikaiya Wang Yue's actions that a trigger was set in Higashino Shuichi's soul. type switch, as long as it is confirmed that Higashino Shuichi is really dead, then this switch will be activated, notifying the military commander Ichibei to call Higashino Shuichi's name immediately to prevent Higashino Shuichi from being dragged away by hell.

And this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that because Ichibei Higashikata was the first one to find Higashino Hideyoshi, his gift was also the first one to give to Higashino Hideno Hideichi. This also means that because Higashino Shuichi's Zanpakutō's characteristics during the final liberation of the swastika. It was also the first to be forgotten by Higashino Shuichi along with its swastika ability.

Originally, according to Nimaiya Wang Yue, after helping Higashino Shuichi complete the final liberation of Swastika, these forgotten memories will be picked up again by Higashino Shuichi, so this is just a short-term forgetfulness, so there is no need to worry.

However, Akumi, who was possessed by Yhwach, attacked the Zero Division in advance, so Higashino Shuichi did not complete the final liberation of his Zanpakutō with the help of Niemaya Wang Etsu.

After the war, Higashino Shuichi had no chance to ask Nimaiya Wang Yue about these forgotten memories, because he was immediately teleported back to reality.

Therefore, this key trump card was truly forgotten by Higashino Shuichi.

And through the reorganization of his soul after his rebirth, Higashino Shuichi also discovered among these forgotten memories that he had forgotten far more than this.

In that fictional future, he forgot his swastika ability ten times in total, which actually meant that he was improved in different senses ten times in total.

Although most of them were just used by Nimaiya Wang Yue, such as the soul training method and soul shaping method he asked Hikifune Kiryuu for;

For example, Kirinji Tenshiro generously provided the return path hot spring method, and Higashino Shuichi's special method of guiding the spirit king's fragmented ability to integrate into his own return path;

Another example is Shutara Senjumaru's unwillingness to provide the death-defying knitting method and the combat technique of using flying needles;

But there are also heavyweights, such as the resurrection switch provided by Ichibei, the military commander, as well as Urapodo·Three Ways and Iron Wind Kill;

For another example, Nigeya Wang Yue worked hard to create and provide the slicing technique, Tie Yue, and he spent a full day to forge the plug-in for Higashino Shuichi - at the expense of a permanent grid of swastika ability. , in exchange for an opportunity to completely liberate his Zanpakutō.

Among them, except for the improvement of the return path provided by Tenshiro of Kirinji Temple and the moon picking taught by Nimeiya Wang Yue, which were explored by Higashino Shuichi in daily training, Higashino Shuichi has forgotten all the others.

"No wonder I created a Quincy clone so easily after my return. There was no strange feeling at all. It turned out to be because I had already mastered the method of shaping a new soul through Hikifune Kiryu. But at that time, I just don’t remember it.”

After reviewing his memories, Higashino Shuichi discovered that some of the contents had actually been used by him unknowingly, but he himself did not realize that those were abilities that he could not master originally.

"I see many familiar shadows on your body. Have you been to our Spirit King Palace before?"

It didn't take long for Higashino Shuichi to review his memories. While he was browsing his forgotten memories, Higashino Ichibei was also observing Higashino Shuichi, and soon discovered many interesting things about Higashino Shuichi. place.

For example, the Death Overlord outfit that Higashino Shuichi wears is not the Death Overlord outfit that was issued when he became the God of Death. Its materials and craftsmanship even surpass the current Shutara Senjumaru.

If Shutara Senjumaru knew about this, he would definitely be furious.

Is there anyone in the world who is better at pretending to be a domineering person than her? !

According to her character, she would definitely find the God of Death and compete with him.

For another example, Higashino Shuichi's Zanpakutō is obviously not original.

Higashino Shuichi himself couldn't see it, but the military commander Ichibei could see it clearly.

Hidden inside Higashino Shuichi's Zanpakutō blade is a small Zanpakutō that looks very similar to his Zanpakutō.

That's not right. It's definitely inappropriate to say that it was a small Zanpakutō. I'd probably have to ask Nimeiya Wang Yue to find out what it is.

But there is no doubt that that knife is definitely not the one that comes with Higashino Shuichi's Zanpakutō.

Then there is the reason why Ichibei, the military commander, saw his death in Higashino Shuichi's soul, which attracted his attention and gave him the idea of ​​calling his name.

It was a masterpiece that clearly bore his hand.

This shows that the thing in Higashino Shuichi's body was most likely made by him, but Ichibei the Military Master remembers everything that happened in Soul Society since it was created by the Soul King, but he can't remember it. When did I make such a thing for Higashino Shuichi?

So, what is Higashino Shuichi’s identity?

It seemed to be a certain death at first, but now in the eyes of Ichibei, the commander of the army, it seems that it is not that simple.

On the other side, when he heard the question of Ipbei of the army, Higashino immediately understood that there was a high probability that Ipbei, the army of the army, had seen through some of his secrets.

This is actually normal. As the eldest brother of Team Zero, Ichibei, the military commander, is familiar with the abilities of the other team members. This is a perfectly normal thing.

What's more, Higashino Shuichi himself had the opportunity to come here because of the things made by Ichibei himself?

Of course, this is not a bad thing, at least it saves Higashino Shuichi the time to explain to the military commander Ippei.

"I don't know, Master Ichibei, do you know the Soul King's eyes?

Through the special perfection technique I bestowed on a human being through those eyes, I once visited the future, and in that future where Yhwach came back and attacked Soul Society again, I was fortunate enough to receive your approval, Ichibei-sama, In the Spirit King's Palace, he received training for a period of time.

These abilities in me, including the chance of resurrection given to me by Ichibei-sama, were all acquired at that time."

Higashino Shuichi told the truth sincerely.

There is not a single lie in it, but he has omitted a lot of content.

If you want to ask how Higashino Shuichi is so proficient, the answer is that he studied journalism in his previous life!

"The eyes of the Spirit King, the future?"

Ichibei, the military commander, did not directly kill Higashino Shuichi for his statement.

Whether it was the former Tsunayashiro Kanbaru or the current military master Ippei, in this world with various magical abilities, the words coming from the future are surprisingly high in credibility.

"So, what else do you see in that future?"

Sure enough, no matter who he is, he can't escape the word curiosity. Even Ichibei, the commander of the army, can't help his curiosity when faced with the temptation of knowing the future in advance.

"I also saw the death of Yhwach, and saw him being made the new Soul King by you, Ichibei-sama, after his defeat."

Higashino Shuichi replied.

In fact, this should be the plan of Ichibei, the commander of the army.

Although in Higashino Shuichi's memory, Ichibei, the military commander, did not seem to be Yhwach's idea from the beginning.

However, after living in this world of death for such a long time, Higashino Shuichi firmly believed that it was impossible for Iphei, the military commander, not to know that Yhwach was still alive, and had been plotting to regain his power and counterattack. Soul Society.

The reason why he did not take care of Yhwach was because he considered Yhwach as the best candidate for the Soul King.

Therefore, Higashino Shuichi was convinced that by telling this fact, he could gain the favor of Ichibei, the commander of the army.

This is indeed the case. After hearing Higashino Shuichi's answer, Ichibei's grin widened even further.

He smiled happily.

"This is good news!" Ichibei, the military commander, was very satisfied with the future Higashino Hide said. "Since you have died in Soul Society and you were awakened by me in the Soul King's Palace, from your body I It can also be clearly seen that you have indeed been recognized by us. Coupled with your current strength, it is not a bad idea to become a new member of Team Zero.

So, Higashino Shuichi, on behalf of Soul King here, I formally invite you to join the Zero Division. Are you willing? "

ha?

Higashino Hide was confused for a moment. There was something wrong with this development trend. He just wanted to continue to benefit from the Zero Division, but he did not want to become the Zero Division.

For reasons we all know, to become a member of Team Zero, you must use the King Key to reshape your body.

That thing is essentially the purest power of the Soul King. It is not an exaggeration to say that the members of Team Zero are a tool used by the Soul King to realize his will.

Higashino Shuichi didn't want to be controlled by others after working hard for so many years.

"Iphei-sama, it's not that I'm unwilling, but you should also know the reason why I was resurrected by you in this Soul King's Palace.

So I haven’t been able to break away from the bond with Soul Society for the time being.

Besides, you should know that the gentleman I am following now also has his own ideas about the adults of Team Zero. Before that adult resolves his matter, I think I may not be able to do anything about it. I agree to your invitation, Lord Ichibei. "

But even if he refused, he couldn't let the words die. Higashino Shuichi still thought about asking Nigeya Wang Yue to help solve the problem of completely liberating his Zanpakutō. Therefore, after thinking about it, Higashino Shuichi felt that he could only use blue Dye it as a shield.

Anyway, everything Aizen did was not a secret in front of everyone in the Zero Squadron.

It was even under the will of the Soul King that Ichibei, the commander of the army, acquiesced in Aizen's behavior.

Because only in this way can the child of destiny be born naturally.

Higashino Shuichi's refusal will not only not lower his impression score with Iphei, the military commander, but will actually increase his trust.

After all, from the perspective of Ipbei, the commander of the army, he didn't know that Higashino Shuichi knew that he had already targeted Aizen.

Therefore, Higashino Shuichi's statement, in the case of Ichibei Higashino, shows that Higashino Shuichi is a simple and honest Shinigami who doesn't know how to lie and is loyal enough.

What kind of death is this? This is Team Zero's best backup and a loyal supporter of the future Soul King!

"Then what are you thinking about now? Stay in the Soul King's Palace for a while and wait until Balegon is defeated before going back, or?"

The more Ichibei of the Ministry of War saw Higashino, the more satisfied he became. Combined with his past understanding of Higashino, he was indeed a Shinigami who was always loyal to Aizen. So as long as he could pull Higashino into the ranks of the Zero Squadron Among them, he will definitely become an excellent member of Team Zero in the future.

Hearing this, Higashino Shuichi didn't want to stay in the Soul King's Palace for a few more days, but the time was too delicate now, and he couldn't bear to bear the spiritual pressure of Bailegang.

Although he had just been tortured to death once by Balegon using Atdis, he had recovered his forgotten memories and knew all of Balegon's current trump cards, so he would not repeat the same mistake again.

Of course, the main reason is that Team Zero's training and improvement are basically technical, and if you want to maximize the benefits, Higashino Shuichi's own spiritual pressure must also keep up.

Besides, there is still a chance for Team Zero to train in the future, but the chance to kill Balegon and devour his virtual core is only this one.

Aizen has obviously regarded Bailegang as an abandoned child. Even if Higashino Shuichi does not take action to kill Bailegang this time, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni will still take action.

Therefore, Higashino Shuichi's answer was very firm, "I want to go back immediately, but I also hope that Lord Ichibei, you can give me a chance to return to Soul King Palace after this incident is over, because of some changes in me, I still want to talk to Mr. Wang Yue of Ermeiya."

"Are you sure? You were just defeated by that special Daxu united by that Balegang. Don't you have to wait here for a few days?"

Ichibei, the commander of the army, asked curiously again.

Even though he had survived for so many years, it was rare to see a Shinigami like Higashino Shuichi rushing back to die.

However, Higashino Shuichi's attitude was very firm.

The commander of the army, Ichibei, didn't know that Higashino Shuichi had a treasure trove without realizing it.

Although the combination of Bailegang Gayatedis is very restrained by Higashino Shuichi, Higashino Shuichi is now completely liberated with his own Zanpakutō.

Deep down in Higashino Shuichi's heart, he had the idea of ​​​​seeing how powerful his Zanpakutō would be after he was completely liberated.

After all, just a few small swastika skills alone were enough to support him in suppressing most of the Shinigami captains and Arrancars so far.

Ichibei, the military commander, does not understand what Higashino Shuichi is thinking, but Higashino Shuichi is indeed the only special case in history. The traces on his body that come from members of the Zero Division cannot be faked, so it is difficult to recruit Higashino Shuichi into the army. In the Zero Squadron, Ichibei, the commander of the military department, still has some expectations.

So after confirming Higashino Shuichi's thoughts, Ichibei, the military commander, scratched his hairless bald head.

"In that case, after this incident is over, you can find the Shiba family and ask them to send you to the Zero Division."

After saying that, Ichibei, the commander of the army, took out his Zanpakutō and drew a circle on the ground, instructing Higashino Shuichi to jump out of it.

Higashino Shuichi didn't hesitate. After getting a positive reply from the military commander Ippei, he jumped down directly.

After that brief period of darkness, below was the Xuye Palace that had not yet been evacuated.

"The unruly dragon, the filthy land, the unstoppable fury, the origin that wakes up from sleep, the violent wind, the flames, the ice, the thunder, the earth, breaks the karma, returns without obstacles, destroys everything, and returns to the beginning of all things.

Ninety-nine of the broken paths, the five dragons are destroyed! "

The dragon roared out, and the dragon soared. Under the blessing of Higashino Shuichi's full spiritual pressure, although Noda's Xuye Palace did not collapse because of this, it became scarred, especially the one that received Higashino Shuichi's key points. Take care of the central hall area.

The dome shattered, revealing Balegon and Atdis who were still there celebrating.

"Higashino Shuichi?? How is that possible?! How is it possible that you are still alive!!"

Bailegang was very sure that he had killed Higashino Shuichi, but what happened to the god of death who appeared in front of him now and was very similar to Higashino Shuichi?

Hideyoshi Higashino just smiled and said,

"I was just teasing you, Balegon, your cards have been played, now.

It's my turn! "
