This system is kind of weird

Chapter 246 Swallowed??

Kakakka~~

With the sound of shattering, the exposed coffin-shaped object gradually collapsed, and the six bladed spears inserted around the coffin were forced out one after another as if they were under some kind of pressure.

Finally, with a huge explosion, the seal completely collapsed.

A tall figure emerged from it. This figure was shirtless. Although he was tall, his skin was shriveled and he looked like a mummy.

However, the moment he appeared, terrifying spiritual pressure came out wantonly.

Although Duan Mu couldn't feel the tyranny of spiritual pressure, he could feel the tyranny of this person's spiritual pressure from the substantial fluctuations of spiritual pressure around him.

Very good, the stronger you are, the happier I am!

Unlike others, the moment he saw Kuchiki Xianghe, a smile suddenly appeared on Duan Mu's face.

Buzz~~

Kuchiki Xianghe's eyes slowly opened. The moment he opened his eyes, the gravity of the entire area suddenly surged, making everyone except Duanmu and Muramasa's expressions sink.

"Hahaha~hahahahaha~~"

Facing Kuchiki Xianghe's gaze, Muramasa couldn't help but laugh ecstatically: "My master, have you woken up? I have waited so hard for this moment, now let us realize our long-cherished wish."

The village front is full of enthusiasm, and one side is facing the Kuchiki River like a king.

"But before that, there are still a few rude trash here that you need to deal with first..."

Phew!

The sound of a sharp blade piercing through the body interrupted Muramasa's words. He looked at the blade inserted into his chest by his master, his tone full of disbelief:

"Why... why..."

The corners of Duan Mu's eyes twitched slightly. Although he had killed his own Zanpakutō, it was entirely because his Zanpakutō wanted to kill him.

Putting aside his personality, there is absolutely no problem with Muramasa's loyalty. After all, he made the entire Soul Society an enemy in order to save his master. However, he was stabbed by his master as soon as he met him...

Duan Mu didn't feel pity for him, but he was the same person who killed his Zanpakuto. He always felt...

These two guys in front of me seem to be mocking themselves!

And he had a hunch that after he returned to Soul Society, he might have to kill his Zanpakutō again.

"You didn't respond to me."

Kuchiki Xianghe lowered his head and glanced at Muramasa who was kneeling in front of him, and said in a cold tone: "When I was sealed, I called you."

"You...called me?" Muramasa was startled.

"But you refused to lend me your strength."

Duan Mu, who was not far away, looked at the swordsman in front of him and couldn't help but touch Byakuya Kuchiki with his elbow.

Kuchiki Byakuya frowned and took a step to the side with a look of disgust.

When Duan Mu saw this, he didn't care about it and said instead: "Don't you want to clean up the house? Hurry up and do it. I still have things to deal with urgently."

I don't know why, but the longer he stayed in this world, the ominous premonition in Duan Mu's heart became stronger.

He always felt that he should return to Soul Society immediately!

Kuchiki Byakuya snorted coldly and did not speak. Instead, he looked at Kuchiki Xianghe with cold eyes, and there was a hint of piercing murderous intent in his body.

Sensing the murderous intention, Kuchiki Hibiki shifted his gaze from Muramasa to Kuchiki Byakuya. After looking at it carefully, a strange smile of resentment appeared on his face:

"Silver-white windflower gauze, holding star pliers."

At this moment, Kuchiki Xianghe's eyes also burst with gunfire: "You are from the Kuchiki family, right?"

"The twenty-eighth generation head of the Kuchiki family, Byakuya Kuchiki!"

…

Regarding the conversation between the two, Duan Mu did not listen, but when the two were confronting each other, he pulled the seriously injured Muramasa aside.

At this time, Muramasa's whole person revealed an inexplicable desire to die.

Although the injury was not fatal, he had completely lost his survival instinct and showed no resistance to Duan Mu's dragging.

"Mr. Muramasa."

Duan Mu knelt down and asked Muramasa: "Can you please answer me a question first?"

Muramasa said nothing, his eyes still looking in the direction of Kuchiki Xianghe.

Duan Mu shook his head when he saw this: "Don't look, I don't need you anymore. You can die if you want, but tell me first, where did you take my Zanpakutō?"

Hearing this, Muramasa turned around and looked at Duan Mu with a look of pity for some reason.

"..."

This look made Duan Mu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly.

"Your Zanpakutō didn't follow me. It has disappeared since I left you."

Muramasa didn't know what he thought of, and a self-deprecating smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Looking at it this way, you and I are really very similar. We are obviously the closest partners, but in the end..."

"Stop, I look like enough people."

Duan Mu interrupted: "When you sneaked into my inner world, what exactly did you feel on the body of my Zanpakutō?"

"Your closest partner will do whatever it takes to make you die in the most painful way!"

Hearing this, Duan Mu couldn't help but curl his lips.

This was indeed his carelessness. When he killed his Zanpakuto, he did not rely on his own efforts, but with the help of Aizen's power.

Probably because of this, the Zanpakutō that he killed still has remnants.

Previously, he thought it was Muramasa's ability that inspired this remaining existence, but now it seems... Whether Muramasa appears or not, he will appear, it's just a matter of time.

Give me the most painful death?

Duan Mu's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. Isn't it a little too arrogant for just a tool?

Although he considers himself different from Kuchiki Kyoukawa, Duanmu agrees with Kuchiki Kyoukawa's words. In his eyes, the Zanpakuto is just a tool for fighting. As for the so-called closest partner Muramasa calls, this point

Duan Mu couldn't agree with it at all.

If this tool is too troublesome and restricts himself, Namu will not hesitate to abandon the Zanpakutō and find a hard and unbreakable blade to use.

As if aware of Duan Mu's inner thoughts, Muramasa's expression darkened again, and the desperate will to die emerged again.

Woohoo~~

There was a whistling sound caused by the strange aura, and an ominous red light suddenly appeared around Muramasa.

"...Xianghe...Xianghe..."

When his consciousness was about to collapse and he was unable to control his spiritual pressure, he was still calling his master's name, but Kuchiki Hibiki, who had already fought with Byakuya Kuchiki, didn't even look at him.

This defeated the last line of defense in Muramasa's heart, and he completely collapsed.

Dark red spiritual pressure, like a sea of blood, spread in a circular shape in all directions, and extremely huge Kilians emerged from the spiritual pressure.

At a glance, there is no end in sight.

"Daxu?"

In the distance, the expressions of Kuchiki Rukia and others changed.

"Why did Daxu appear in Muramasa's body?"

"Wait a minute, Brother Duan Mu."

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at Duanmu who was in the center of hundreds of Kilians, and his expression suddenly changed.

Brother Duan Mu has now lost the ability of the God of Death. He has personally experienced the powerlessness of losing the ability. He who did not see the scene when Duan Mu arrived did not think that Duan Mu could survive being surrounded by so many Kilians.

However, just when he was about to go to the rescue, an extremely strange scene happened.

The hundreds of Kilians around seemed not to notice Duan Mu... No, strictly speaking, it was more like...

Guard?

All the Kilians gradually moved and finally formed two rows, standing around Duan Mu.

The Xiaoxu next to Killian knelt on the ground after emerging from Muramasa's body, not daring to raise their heads at all.

"How is that possible?"

This scene made everyone look dumbfounded.

"Hahaha~"

"So many toys."

"Brother Duan Mu, brother Duan Mu, can we play with them?"

"..."

The laughter of children came, and Kurosaki Ichigo and others discovered that around Duanmu, five children of about 10 years old appeared at some point, running and jumping in the middle of countless voids with innocent faces, and their mouths were full of childish sounds.

And full of childlike laughter.

"Those are..."

Ishida Uryu was slightly startled: "Arrancar?"

"Don't be nervous, these are my friends."

Duan Mu's voice came, and when he heard the sound, he looked around and saw Duan Mu slowly walking towards them, supported by a crowd of Daxu.

This scene reminded Rukia Kuchiki of the scene when Aizen left Soul Society with the support of all the Daxu. They all had the same smile, but it also made people feel an inexplicable chill.

but……

Boss Duan Mu is not Aizen, and she also believes that Boss Duan Mu will not harm Soul Society.

In fact, her belief was more or less subjective.

A favorability score of 60 points made her trust Duan Mu immensely, so although the scene in front of her was terrifying, she still chose to trust Duan Mu.

And those who had the same idea as her were Ichigo Kurosaki, Uryu Ishida, and Taitora Sadatari.

None of them think that Duan Mu is a dangerous guy... and they can't say that he isn't. It's just that compared to Aizen, Duan Mu is not a dangerous guy.

"Brother with yellow hair, why is your hair yellow?"

The little girl with twin tails approached Kurosaki Ichigo and asked with a puzzled look on her face.

There was also Pikaro who ran up to Ishida Uryu: "Your clothes look great, can you give me one?"

Several people were immediately surrounded by Picaro.

Everyone who was originally nervous couldn't help but relax after seeing this. Although they were all Arrancars, they didn't feel as scary as Arrancars in these children. They seemed to be just ordinary human children.

This made everyone look at Duan Mu with confusion.

"They are relatively special individuals, and their way of thinking is no different from human children."

Duan Mu didn't hide anything and directly informed everyone of Pikaro's origin.

If you want to turn the rotten wood and the sound of the river into spiritual patterns, then Pikaro's existence is destined to be discovered by everyone. Instead of keeping it secret, it is better to directly inform everyone of Pikaro's origin.

Of course, the main reason is...

Picaro has no interest in devouring humans. The objects they devour are more inclined to areas with high spiritual content. Once they feel hungry, they will only devour all the spiritual content in an area.

Therefore, they are more interested in Hueco Mundo and Soul Society than the real world.

The few people present were all the kind of people who didn't particularly value the boundary between the Shinigami and Hollows, especially Kurosaki Ichigo. After mastering the disguise, he actually had a changed view of Arrancar and no longer

When you see an Arrancar, you subconsciously think that the other person is an enemy.

Unless it's the kind of guy who devours humans and endangers the security of the world.

Therefore, everyone has only pity for the birth process of Picaro.

This made Duan Mu want to remind them that these little guys were once the No. 2 of the Ten Blades, but seeing Pikaro's happy face finding a playmate, Duan Mu finally gave up the reminder.

"Stop making trouble for now, you guys can open up your dark cavities and send these Hollows back to Hueco Mundo."

What Duan Mu wants to study this time is the body of the Shinigami. These Hollows cannot serve as experimental subjects at all. In terms of providing spiritual pressure, judging from Kuchiki Hibiki's performance just now, he alone is enough.

Under Duan Mu's instructions, several Picaros held hands and opened a huge void.

All the Kilians and those miscellaneous fish, under their orders, walked towards the hollow.

As Arrancars transformed into Arrancars from Achukas, they have the inherent right to command Kilian, so it is not difficult to do this.

"I thought we were going to have a tough battle."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Ishida Uryu looked a little strange. Although his master told him that Duan Mu had many friends when he was in Soul Society, he really didn't expect... the friend circle of boss Duan Mu.

It has developed to Hueco Mundo.

"yes."

Kurosaki Ichigo nodded in agreement, and then looked towards Muramasa in the distance.

The Zanpakutō and its master are one and the same, and they can live in symbiosis by blending with their master's soul.

Therefore, in order to maintain the entity, Muramasa has been replacing the master's vacancy with the virtual.

If these Hollows had not left, they might have merged into Muramasa's body, allowing the Hollows to fuse with the Zanpakutō, creating a situation similar to Kurosaki Ichigo's.

But Xu's departure interrupted this process.

Muramasa, who lost the support of his spiritual pressure, became a little dim, gradually turned into a shadow, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.

During this process, Muramasa did not make the slightest move and welcomed death calmly.

This made everyone's expressions become a little complicated.

"It looks like it's coming to an end over there too."

Duan Mu's voice made everyone look up into the air.

"Muramasa! Muramasa..."

As soon as I raised my head, I heard Kuchiki Xianghe’s anxious call:

"Come here, are you going to ignore my call again?"

"Come here!"

"Why don't you reply..."

The words stopped suddenly, and then there was only a "boom" sound, and a figure slammed in front of Duan Mu.

"Here you go."

Kuchiki Byakuya's voice came from above everyone's heads.

"Thank you."

Duan Mu thanked him and walked slowly towards the fallen dead wood Xianghe.

At this time, Kuchiki Xianghe was covered in blood, but just like the agreement, Byakuya did not give him the final blow and spared his life.

When Duan Mu walked in front of him, he struggled to get up from the ground.

"Go away!"

Kuchiki Xianghe looked at Duanmu in front of him and yelled angrily, but his eyes searched the surroundings, hoping to find Muramasa.

but……

"Uh~"

A hand suddenly grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

The power revealed in the palm made Kuchiki Xianghe's face change drastically, and the spiritual pressure around his body surged crazily, but it did not have any impact on the palm.

How is it possible?

Power that is difficult to describe in words comes from the palm of your hand, but the strange thing is...

He actually didn't feel any spiritual pressure on that palm.

"Picaro, come and help me."

Duan Mu's call reached Kuchiki Xianghe's ears, and he felt a chill spreading straight up from his tailbone.

An inexplicable feeling of fear enveloped my whole body.

"you……"

He wanted to question him, but his neck was clamped and he couldn't even say a word.

The five Pikaros were distributed around him according to Duan Mu's instructions. Spiritual pressure surged around his body, forming strange lines in the void.

Those lines were the virtual lines carved on their spiritual cores by Duan Mu's flesh and blood and spiritual pressure.

It was through this connection that Duan Mu was able to condense the spiritual void pattern outside his body with their help.

Buzz~

Almost at the moment when the lines appeared, Kuchiki Xianghe's body suddenly became twisted, as if being torn apart by countless big hands.

The severe pain made his expression extremely distorted, but he could not even utter a scream.

Not enough?

Duan Mu frowned and struck out with his free left hand like lightning.

Bang bang bang bang~~

Along with a series of muffled sounds, countless fist marks appeared on Kuchiki Xianghe's body in the blink of an eye.

This scene caused a strange color to flash in the eyes of Byakuya Kuchiki in mid-air.

Because even he didn't see clearly how many punches Duan Mu had thrown at that moment, but Kuchiki Xianghe's spirit body gradually collapsed under that punch and merged into the inexplicable lines in the void.

The moment the fist shadow stopped, Kuchiki Xianghe had completely transformed into a spirit child, completely integrated into the spirit pattern condensed in mid-air.

The spirit pattern was integrated into Duan Mu's body under the control of several Picaros.

Buzz~

Invisible fluctuations are centered on Duan Mu and spread to the surroundings. This is the fluctuation of spiritual pressure.

Dark red lines appeared on Duan Mu's exposed skin, and the spiritual pressure fluctuations emanated from these lines.

"call!"

Duan Mu took a breath, a flash of excitement flashing in his eyes.

The external spiritual void pattern condensed by the captain-level Shinigami was more effective than he imagined. It could even absorb the spiritual pressure on its own as a supplement, so Duan Mu did not need to worry about exhaustion of the spiritual pressure in the spiritual pattern in a short period of time.

"Did it succeed?"

Kurosaki Ichigo stepped forward and looked at the lines on Duan Mu's body and asked.

"Half success, I can now use spiritual pressure." Duan Mu nodded: "Next, I still need to use this spiritual pressure to find a way to heal my injuries."

After briefly explaining it to everyone, Duan Mu sent the reluctant Pikaro back to Hueco Mundo.

After bidding farewell to Pikaro, Duan Mu stretched out his hand in the void, and as spiritual pressure surged on his body, a black cavity suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"We'll talk later. I have to go back to Soul Society to resolve some things first."

"I'll go too, I'm a little worried about the situation there."

Kurosaki Ichigo followed immediately.

Kuchiki Byakuya and Kuchiki Rukia also came behind Duanmu.

Duan Mu nodded when he saw this, then turned to look at Ishida Uryū and Chadat Taihu. After the two looked at each other, they also followed.

Having made up his mind, Duan Mu did not continue talking and took the lead directly into the dark side.

…

West 38th District~Everything House.

The void tore apart, and Duan Mu jumped out of the dark passage, but his brows furrowed as soon as he appeared.

Squeak~

Sensing the movement, everyone in the tavern came out one after another.

When he saw Duan Mu, his eyes lit up.
