This system is kind of weird

He is the same as me, because both are black, that is, both are dark.

He is different from me because I am black and white, and my emotions are represented by white spots, that is, similarities and differences.

As long as this white spot does not go away, this dissatisfaction will remain, and this rebellion will...

more than!

"Pick up stones, throw stones, jump, hopscotch. Lift your left foot, jump with your right foot, turn around and change feet..."

Amidst the sound of the gong, young and cheerful children kept singing, but the songs were filled with a sinister murderous intent.

The hand-painted blue sky was replaced by pitch black, but in this pitch black, there were white spots scattered all over, dotting the dark sky like stars.

The arena turned into various types of discs, with some high and some bottomed, floating everywhere in this strange space. They seemed disorderly, but they seemed to have some kind of regularity.

There was a semi-arc circular platform at the top and outermost side. The moment they saw the circular platform, it was like instinct. Both Duan Mu and Neutra knew one thing.

There is...

sky!

"What the hell is this?"

The inexplicable feeling of weirdness made Neutra's expression become extremely gloomy.

"I advise you not to act rashly."

Duan Mu stood with his hands hanging by his sides, observing the surroundings with a solemn expression, but this solemnity was not because of Neutra, but because of this space.

"Only fairness can play the game, but for me, the only fairness when I use the complete initial solution is to impose a time condition on the generated field, and the time condition I imposed is four minutes. After four minutes, this space

It will naturally disintegrate.”

"But in these four minutes, neither you nor I are just ordinary game participants."

While Duan Mu was stating the rules, he stared at the distribution of the circular cones, thinking about the rules of the 'hopscotch' game in his mind.

The rules are not difficult to discover, but how to jump requires careful consideration.

The time limit set by Duan Mu must be narrated by himself, but the rules of the game itself will naturally appear in the minds of the two of them after the domain is generated, as if they have read it countless times.

fair!

After both parties know the rules, there is another factor that determines the outcome of the game, and that is...

Proficiency in the game.

This can be said to be Duan Mu's only advantage.

sizzling

Thunder flashed, and a prototype sphere appeared in front of Duan Mu and Neutra. It was filled with manic thunder. Even if they didn't touch it, they could feel its power.

After the sphere appeared, it headed straight towards Duan Mu.

During this process, an inexplicable sense of restraint spread throughout his body, causing Duan Mu to stretch out his hands and watch helplessly as the highly concentrated kidō ball fell towards his hands.

When Duan Mu saw this, his eyes became extremely sinister.

But he didn't say anything, because this space existed just to kill himself.

Normally, a Zanpakutō will not hurt its master, but the essence of Danmu Zanpakutō is the 'two hearts' and the 'rebellious heart'. Even if you put experience points into the Zanpakutō, the enhancement will be the same.

It is also a 'double mind' and a 'rebellious mind'.

This will never change as long as the white spots remain.

That is to say...

Unless Duanmu personally obliterates all the emotions that make up Shiroban, the higher his Zanpakutō proficiency becomes, the more dangerous Duanmu will be.

This is already the case with the complete first solution, let alone the swastika solution.

This is also the reason why Duan Mu said before that he wanted to obliterate the Zanpakutō's 'true name'. The reason why he had to continue practicing Blade Zen was just to...

Erase the Zanpakutō's existing true name and give it a new name.

A Zanpakutō that has no "similarities and differences" and only he knows its "true name" makes this sword truly his own.

Not this ‘other’s’ knife!

Crack, peep, peep!

The moment the Kidō ball fell into Duan Mu's hands, the sense of restraint around his body dissipated, and the highly concentrated Kidō power suddenly exploded.

——Broken Dao No. 88: The flying dragon strikes the thief and the sky-shaking thunder cannon.

The moment the 'stone' fell into his hands, Duan Mu poured his whole body's spiritual pressure into his hands without hesitation, but then his expression changed.

Is it really different from usual?

The violent fluctuations broke through Duan Mu's spiritual pressure defense almost instantly, paralyzing his two arms and turning them black in the blink of an eye.

Without hesitation, the spiritual pressure all over Duan Mu's body reached its peak at this moment.

The next second...

boom!!

As thunder roared around him, highly concentrated Kidō balls shot out of the air like cannonballs.

But Duanmu didn't stop there, because he had played countless games with Zanpakutō and knew how bad Zanpakutō was in games.

Physical fitness: advanced

With the investment of 10,000 experience points, Duan Mu's arms dropped to his sides and recovered in an instant.

boom

Almost at the same time that Duan Mu's arms were recovering, terrifying spiritual pressure fluctuations were rapidly gathering outside the highest and farthest "sky". The next second, a dark beam of light shot out of the sky, distorting the space wherever it passed.

That's...

Neutra's expression changed when he saw this, because he was not unfamiliar with that beam of light.

Wang Xu’s flash!

Although the aura is a bit weird, mixed with the auras of Death and Hollow, there is no doubt about the power of distorting space.

"The Eighty One of the Binding Dao: Breaking the Sky!"

Duan Mu shouted loudly and slapped his hands hard on the ground.

Brush brush brush brush brush

Six transparent iron walls appeared in succession on Wang Xu's shining path.

——It’s like a duet!

This is a technique that uses extremely complex spiritual pressure to release ghost energy, which can cause the released ghost energy to have the same effect as chanting six times.

"The proud son of heaven, the city wall built of iron..."

After finishing all this, Duan Mu quickly began to chant the following words.

at the same time.

The virtual flash from outside the sky has already collided with the first barrier.

bang

The sound of explosions came out almost instantly, and the transparent barrier shattered in an instant.

Bang bang bang...

Just like a chain reaction, the explosions sounded almost without any interval, and each explosion was accompanied by the collapse of a layer of barrier.

"The dragon moves, the lion roars, the tiger roars, and the wolf runs, cutting off the world before it collapses."

Bang!!

As the final chant fell, the dark void flash directly collided with the last level of Skybreak.

Buzz buzz...

The void trembled crazily, stirring up strangely shaped stars in the sky. White spots all over the sky lit up at this moment, as if injecting power into the transparent barrier.

This can be said to be the only force on Duan Mu's side in the space in front of him.

The white spots all over the sky are a symbol of Duan Mu's emotions, and they are also the help to erase the Zanpakutō's 'true name'.

Although these white spots are weak, the brightest ones have gathered the power of all the stars, all of which are blessing the transparent barrier, causing the cracked sky barrier to stop collapsing at this moment and be repaired bit by bit.

.

All this seemed to take a long time.

However, only a few seconds had actually passed since the Kidō Ball was condensed. When the Void Flash and the Sky Barrier were in a stalemate, a roar suddenly came out.

The stone fell to the ground!

The concentrated kidō balls hit the round platform marked with the word '1' heavily.

The dark flashes instantly collapsed and turned into spiritual seeds all over the sky, blending into the white spots that dotted the dark night sky. The white spots in the sky became brighter and brighter like stars.

"call"

Duan Mu breathed a sigh of relief, but then his expression became solemn again, because the initial place can be said to be the only safe place. When he jumps out of this area, various ghost attacks will swarm towards him.

As long as Duan Mu has any means of attack, they will be used to attack him in this space, preventing him from jumping onto the round platform.

The rules of hopscotch are simple and easy to understand.

After the game starts, the first player needs to throw the stone in the first grid, and then start jumping on one foot. During the jumping process, he will be constantly attacked. When he jumps to the 'sky', he jumps back and jumps to the second grid.

During the grid, bend down and pick up the stone on the 1st grid, and then jump from the 2nd grid to the 1st grid.

Then, throw the stone on the 2nd square, and finally stand on the 3rd square to pick up the stone and jump to the 1st square and then jump out.

By analogy, after jumping to the 8th square, you can throw the stone to the "sky", and then jump from the 1st square in sequence. When you jump to the round platform outside the "sky", pick up the stone, and jump out of the "sky" after picking it up.

outside.

Then, throw a stone "outside the sky", and the round platform where the stone falls becomes the house of the "hopscotch" person. When he jumps from the first square to his own house, he can land with both feet.

The rules are basically the same as children's games played by children, but they are not exactly the same.

The first difference is that there are no side-by-side round platforms, which means there is no need for both feet to land on two round platforms at the same time.

After one round, after you get your own house, it will become a real safe zone.

When you are in it, you can not only avoid all attacks, but also switch players. The house owner can rest in his own house.

Of course, Duan Mu can also choose to make a mistake at the beginning, allowing players to switch.

But this way, there is no safe zone. Once a mistake is made, the safety rules of the initial place will also be lifted. When other players play the game, they will be attacked without stopping.

Although the attack methods are all the ghost ways that Duan Mu knows, what serves as support is the total strength of the player.

To put it simply...

All ghost paths are released with the spiritual pressure of Duan Mu and Neutra.

Duan Mu usually plays this kind of game in Renzen. As long as he doesn't do it deliberately, he basically won't lose, because usually only Duan Mu's own strength acts as support in this field, and the power he can exert is equivalent to that of a person who can only use abilities related to Kidō.

of oneself.

But now, it’s two people!

Therefore, Duan Mu cannot switch players. In any case, he must get a safe zone and distance himself from Nnoitra before he loses his patience.

However, just when Duan Mu was about to continue playing the game, what he was most worried about happened.

"Enough!!"

Nnoitra looked at Duan Mu with cold eyes. Naturally, he also knew the rules that Duan Mu knew.

Although Duan Mu, as a god of death, was a little puzzled by the fact that he could release virtual flash, he had no interest in continuing to play this childish game with Duan Mu.

Buzz

With a twist of the crescent-shaped long knife, Neutra rushed directly towards Duan Mu on the edge of the safe zone.

When Duan Mu saw this, he sighed slightly and did not dodge. Instead, he looked at Nnoitra with an idiot's eyes.

Violators will be severely punished!

For children, violators are a symbol of despicability, indecentness, and shamelessness, so violators must be severely punished.

swish swish

Three huge beak-shaped beams of light appeared out of thin air, directly binding Nnoitra's neck and hands in mid-air.

Before Nnoitra could react, six light sheets, light rods all over the sky, iron chains, iron pillars, and black holes appeared one after another.

The Thirty of the Binding Dao·Three flashes of the mouth; The Sixty-one of the Binding Dao·The Six-Stand Light Prison; The Sixty-two of the Binding Dao·The Hundred-step Railing; The Sixty-three of the Binding Dao·The Chains and Binding; Binding of the Dao

The Seventy-Five of the Dao, Five Pillars of Iron; and the Seventy-nine Binding of the Dao, the Nine-Yao Binding!

All binding methods are performed by abandoning chanting, exerting full power, and are performed with the combined spiritual pressure of two people.

The rules of the safe zone disappeared, and Duan Mu jumped out of the area without hesitation.

at the same time……

Outside the sky, terrifying fluctuations are gathering crazily, and violent spiritual pressure is unleashed wantonly.

In the dark sky, Father Sun and Sister Moon's eyes instantly turned red, and their teeth clenched.

The whole world became extremely manic at this moment.

The sudden change caused Neutra's complexion to change drastically, and the terrifying aura gathering outside made him feel a fatal crisis.

Will die!

In his current state, if he were to receive that attack forcefully, he would most likely die in this inexplicable space.

He wanted to dodge, but the binding force formed by the countless binding channels around him prevented him from moving even a finger.

But at this moment, Father Sun, Sister Moon, and the stars in the dark sky all let out an eerie childish voice.

"The turbid heraldry is faintly revealed, the unruly and arrogant talent; the surge, denial, paralysis, moment, hindering the eternal sleep. The crawling iron princess, the clay doll who constantly mutilates itself, combines, rebounds, and extends to the ground, knowing

It’s your own powerlessness!”

The whole world roared at this moment, finally converging into one voice.

"Broken Dao No. 90: Black Coffin!"

Buzz!

Suddenly, the color of the sky and the earth changed, and the dark coffin swallowed everything like a black hole, shrouding Nnoitra in it.

Even the darkness was distorted in front of the pitch-black coffin.

The heavy breath filled the entire space, cutting everything into pieces.

"Ahhhhhhh"

The screams turned from high-pitched to low-pitched.

Duan Mu didn't pay attention to all this. At this time, he was taking advantage of the full strength of the domain to attack Nnoitra and quickly sneaked away.

Although sneaking away is despicable, it is not illegal.

Duan Mu had expected Nnoitra to break the rules from the beginning, but he didn't expect that this fighting maniac would become impatient so quickly.

Shunpo: Top

Nearly 90,000 experience points were invested, allowing Duan Mu to elevate Shunpo to the top level in an instant.

At any cost!

He must take advantage of the moment when the domain concentrates its power to attack Nnoitra, and obtain his own safe zone. This is an opportunity.

But this opportunity...

It's also the calm before the storm. If you can't find a safe zone before the attack is over, you will definitely die.

Move, throw the ball, move, move...

Under the dark sky, Duan Mu quickly shuttled between the round platforms under the shining of white stars.

Although there was no attack, the power of the highly concentrated Kidō Ball became more and more terrifying. Apparently while punishing Nnoitra, the secret rule maker did not forget to 'take care of' Duan Mu.

The wanton thunder caused Duan Mu's body to become extremely blackened, his skin and flesh torn apart, and he turned into a bloody man.

But he had no treatment. Only when he was about to lose the ability to move, he used physical strength to heal his injuries.

Buzz

And at this moment, an extremely terrifying spiritual pressure burst out.

Cracks appeared on the surface of the pitch-black coffin that enveloped the original land.

here we go!

This scene made Duan Mu's expression change drastically. Fortunately...

He had already stepped into the sky in less than half a minute. The moment he almost felt the fluctuation of spiritual pressure behind his back, Duan Mu jumped towards the small round platform in the sky that could only be stepped on by one person.

At this moment, a pair of eyes on the dark sky turned and looked at Duan Mu above the endless abyss.

Zhengzhengzheng——!

The extremely heavy pressure appeared out of thin air, and Duan Mu felt that the surrounding space was being torn apart at this moment, and the whole thing was falling downwards uncontrollably.

Is it still slow?

Duan Mu's expression changed, and the spiritual pressure around him crazily condensed toward his feet, hoping to condense the spiritual steps.

However……

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop his body from falling.

"limit!"

Duan Mu gritted his teeth slightly and shouted loudly.

Along with his loud shout, the white spots that had never moved all over the sky began to swim at the same time, with the brightest stars as the center erupting into endless starlight, binding the sun, moon, and stars respectively.

clatter

The feeling of restraint around his body disappeared, and the clear sound of stampeding could be heard. Duan Mu, who was already lower than the round platform, jumped up and jumped into the sky.

The kidō ball in his hand seemed to be injected with new power at this moment, and its power surged wildly. Duan Mu's body was torn apart instantly, and blood exploded along his body in a spray shape.

But Duan Mu gritted his teeth and ignored the severe pain in his body. The moment it fell, Duan Mu threw the kidō ball in his hand with his back to the sky.

Bang!

Amidst the explosion, the stones fell on the No. 8 grid closest to the sky.

Turn around, jump.

Duan Mu returned as fast as he came, and hit the No. 8 grid heavily with his whole body.

Everything returned to calm, and the white stars in the sky became dim at this moment.

Duan Mu knew that in the next game, those stars would no longer be able to help him.

but……

It's no longer needed.

"Cough cough cough"

Duan Mu sat up with difficulty and looked in the direction of the original place.

There...

The dark coffin has collapsed, and Nnoitra, whose appearance has changed drastically, is standing there,

Although Nnoitra's appearance at this time has not changed, it has crescent-shaped horns, cross-shaped yellow facial lines appear on her face, and an eyepatch-shaped mask that looks like teeth appears on the empty hole; her original hands have changed.

For six hands, each arm holds a double-edged sickle.

And the spiritual pressure all over his body is even more powerful to the extreme.

only……

Duan Mu looked at him with only pity in his eyes.

"Feeling hopeless?"

Nnoitra looked at Duan Mu from a distance. Although there was a sneer on his face, there was a feeling of fear in his heart.

If he hadn't been able to recover from the injuries he suffered before returning to the sword, he would probably have died from the ghost attack just now.

However, with the strength of his spiritual pressure after returning to the sword.

The ghostly way just now can no longer threaten me.

but……

What's going on with his gaze?

"It's not me who feels despair, it's you."

While Duan Mu was running the return path to heal himself, he looked at Neutra and said, "You who also know the rules should know what it means for me to sit here, right?"

The safe zone switches with... players, and can also interfere with other players without leaving the safe zone.

Neutra is naturally very clear about this.

"You should have noticed it too..."

Duan Mu chuckled lightly: "All attacks in the domain are performed with the combined spiritual pressure of you and me."

Hearing this, Neutra's expression changed.

"That's right, the stronger your spiritual pressure is, the stronger the attacks in the field will be."

Having said this, Duan Mu paused and continued: "Don't think about leaving this area."

"If you were to return to the sword before the domain was formed, my spiritual pressure strength would not be able to pull you into the domain at all, because the spiritual pressure to generate the domain at that time was completely provided by myself."

"But when the realm is completed, no matter how strong your spiritual pressure becomes, even if the Ten Blades are here, you can only continue to play."

"The rule makers have absolute power."

"Strictly speaking, this formed space should be called..."

"——The Domain of God!"

Hearing this, Nnoitra's pupils suddenly shrank: "This is impossible!!"

"Nothing is impossible, because the strength of this space depends entirely on the strength of the players in the field. For game participants, the rule maker is God. Whether it is you or me, we are just

Just a participant in the game."

God is sitting on the throne of heaven, looking at the game participants with a sullen look. This can be said to be the only trace of compassion that 'he' has.

The reason why Duan Mu is unwilling to use the complete initial solution is precisely because of this.

Player No. 1 will always be Duan Mu.

If from the beginning, Nnoitra used the Return Blade but did not attack herself.

The area where the power is enhanced will make player No. 1 Duan Mu die in the hands of his Zanpakutō. This is the price and the source of his Zanpakutō's "two hearts" and "defection heart".

Or maybe there is someone whose spiritual pressure is much stronger than Duan Mu's, but instead of breaking this space, he allows the realm to form, and the result will still be the same.

After Duanmu dies, the Zanpakutō will naturally die, and the opponent can kill Duanmu without even using his hands.

The reason why he was able to suppress Noitra once this time was entirely because he didn't understand his own ability.

Duan Mu wanted not to say it, but he had to.

Because of the rule statement.

If Duan Mu encounters this situation, the only thing he can rely on to save his life is...

The origin of idiosyncrasy.

The white spot that caused the Zanpakutō to develop "two hearts" and "a defective heart" became Duan Mu's only help.

Duan Mu looked up at the white and dim stars in the sky, feeling speechless.

Does this count...

They became my angels?

To erase the Zanpakuto's existing 'true name' and give it a unique true name that only he knows, the only way Duanmu can find is to use this white spot...

Obliterate the 'real name' of 'other people's' Zanpakutō.

in short……

You still have to work hard to make friends!

He shook his head and cleared away the messy thoughts in his mind.

Duan Mu looked at Nnoitra, with a happy arc on his lips.

"Na"

"It's time to start the game!!"

…
