The beginning of Meiman is a Zanpakuto

Rumble——!!!

Lead-colored heavy clouds cover the sky, and thunder looms like a dragon.

The rolling wind and waves pushed the clouds like ocean tides, making loud sounds like dragon roars breaking through the sky.

Between the rolling water and sky, like a divine dragon flying in the clouds, it was torn apart by the dazzling blue light. Its sound was as loud as spring thunder, spreading endlessly to dozens of kilometers away, setting off endless raging waves in the sky.

move.

People who were startled by the huge noise raised their heads from the ground, thinking that it was a German fighter plane coming.

However, the scene that caught their eyes undoubtedly subverted human cognition.

Blizzards were always falling, and a pale gray sky suddenly opened up a huge ravine a hundred feet wide. Wherever the blue stream of light passed, there were bursts of harsh sonic booms and strong winds.

The sky and the earth are as clear as a mirror, and not a single lead cloud or snowstorm can be seen.

The long-lost warm sunshine shines through the ravine, casting a straight golden glow over the towns and mountains along the way.

After seeing the sunshine and the dazzling blue light, those who had been devastated by the war thought that it was the auspicious Valkyrie under Odin who appeared in the world, and they knelt on the ground in pain and prayed for blessings.

That blue light is the man named 'Luka'.

At this time, he was burning with anxiety, desperately stimulating the power in his body just to make his speed go faster.

quick!

quick!

Faster!

When he was leaving, the gift he subconsciously left to Yvette was actually a fragment of his own soul.

But just a few minutes ago, he suddenly noticed that the soul fragment was activated by Yvette's anger. Because of the soul fragment, he could clearly sense that the girl was filled with despair and fear.

heart.

Yvette...is in danger!

The man only felt the anger rising in his chest, and his eyes turned red gold at some point.

Under this mixed emotion of anxiety and anger, the man's speed increased several times again. The terrifying sonic boom sounded like rolling thunder in the sky, and the sound barrier in front of him, which was like a solid sound barrier, was shattered by his impact.

In just a few minutes, he flew across several mountains and forests.

A small town that was both familiar and unfamiliar gradually enlarged in the man's eyes. However, the burning flames and the billowing smoke made his heart twitch violently and an ominous premonition occupied his entire brain.

No...

As long as old John is here, everything will be fine!

Although the man comforted himself countless times in his heart, as he got closer and closer to the town, the bloody smell wafting in the cold wind, the gurgling bloody stream that caught his eyes, and the collapsed and broken ruins made him feel...

His heart grew colder little by little.

The man dived from high altitude and landed steadily outside the town.

Compared with the scene seen from the sky, the situation seen at close range is undoubtedly more cruel and unsightly.

Thousands of corpses lay strewn all over the ground, almost covering the roads of the entire town. The blood spread to the foot of the mountain, and even the snow turned bright red. Many of them had severed limbs and broken flesh and blood.

It's like a scene from hell.

The faces of these frozen corpses still retain their expressions from when they were alive.

Despair, anger, resentment, fear, pleading, distortion...the frozen faces were all of the villagers who had taken care of him, but now they were brutally killed one by one.

"Yvette...Old John..."

The man's eyes changed and he continued to move forward.

This ancient town with a long history has now been completely reduced to ruins by artillery fire. Thousands of living lives have not survived. All I can see along the way is deathly silence. Stepping on the snow soaked in blood, the man finally comes.

Arrive at the town square.

The mottled bricks and stones covering the square were damaged by artillery fire.

Looking at the large and small craters, it is roughly estimated that there are at least a thousand rounds, densely scattered throughout the square, silently telling what kind of tragic battle this place has experienced.

"Is there anyone alive?!"

The man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he realized that there were still survivors, so he hurriedly followed the remaining breath.

In the area with the densest craters, countless ruins collapsed and fell, piled up into a ruins several meters high, and the source of the remaining aura was directly underneath the ruins.

The man raised his hand as he stepped forward, and struck out with a palm like a mountain moving sideways.

Hundreds of tons of ruins were seen, turning into powder as if being crushed by raging waves, and then blown away by the subsequent strong wind and disappeared.

The 'survivor' buried under the rubble turned out to be Old John.

However, it seems a little inappropriate to describe it as a 'survivor'. After all, at this time, Old John had lost all trace of his human form, only the upper half of his body was left, with almost all his organs hanging outside, and even his intestines were leaking.

All over the floor.

If an ordinary person suffered such an injury, he would probably have been out cold for a long time.

But Old John is a purebred Asgardian. Although he is not very powerful, in terms of vitality, he is many times stronger than the people on Earth, and there seems to be a belief that supports him, so he still

Can barely hold a breath.

"You...are back..."

Old John opened his gray eyes, trying hard to capture the figure of the man in front of him.

"What happened?"

The man's voice was very calm, not even a little rippled.

But anyone can see that in those red-gold eyes, the angry flames are jumping, as if they are going to burn everything.

"They claim to be Hydra..." A bitter look appeared on Old John's face, and he forced himself to explain the reason: "A... leader named John Schmidt,

You want me to hand over the Cosmic Cube, otherwise I will kill...everyone."

Cosmic Rubik's Cube?

The man felt a splitting headache for no apparent reason, as if something was gushing out.

Old John did not notice anything strange about the man, and as he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, he had no time left, so he had to say the rest: "I... believed their lies, but Schmidt was using

After arriving at the Cosmic Cube, I still want to take Yvette away."

"Yvette was taken away?!" the man asked in a cold voice, suppressing a severe headache.

"Yes...I couldn't stop them...I could only watch helplessly...they took Yvette away." Old John shed two lines of blood and tears as he spoke.

The excitement caused him, who was already seriously injured, to cough up several pieces of broken internal organs: "I...I know that this matter has nothing to do with you, but I still ask you for one thing."

"You tell me, I will definitely promise you."

The man did not hesitate and agreed to the old man's last request.

"Yvette! Yvette! Yvette!"

The dying old John read his granddaughter's name, suddenly he reached out his hand, grabbed the man's sleeve tightly, stared with bloodshot eyes, used his last strength, and shouted: "Please...

..We must rescue Yvette...Please...please..."

The man half-knelt on the ground, held the old man's hand, and promised word for word: "Don't worry, I will definitely rescue Yvette."

"Thanks......"

After getting the man's promise, the last light in the old man's eyes disappeared, and his blood-stained hand slipped weakly.

The old man completely lost his breath, his soul turned into little bits of light and dissipated, and he was led to the underworld of Heim.

"Bye now......"

The man murmured, looked up at the sky, and suddenly felt a little sad.

It was not because of the tragic situation of old John, but because after seeing such a cruel scene, he did not feel any fluctuation in his heart, as if he had been used to seeing this for a long time, like a cold machine without emotion.

The only emotion that can be felt seems to be...anger.
