This system is kind of weird

Zheng——!

Yhwach drew out the Annihilation Cross Knife from his waist, smashed the incoming slash with one blow, and then swung the sword in front of him.

The sound of gold and iron clashing echoed, and bursts of illusory ripples rippled out from between the two. Wherever they passed, the gray mist field below rolled crazily, but under the supplement of Duan Mu's own uninterrupted spiritual pressure,

, but he persisted forcefully.

This also makes...

The Quincy and members of the Knights of the Star Cross who were trapped in the field were not harmed at all.

Duan Mu had never thought about protecting them, but if the realm collapsed, the rules of those members of the Star Cross Knights would be a trouble for Duan Mu.

Although he was able to analyze the rules, he was unable to distract himself from analyzing the rules when fighting Yhwach.

Strictly speaking...

Even without Yhwach, Duan Mu would not be able to analyze so many rules at the same time. He could only concentrate on analyzing a few of them, while the rest could be avoided or resisted in various ways.

Therefore, Duan Mu must use spiritual pressure to continue to maintain Ju Ming's Shijie Domain. Although with the full operation of the spiritual void patterns in his body, the consumption of the domain is not worth mentioning at all to Duan Mu.

Duan Mu and Yhwach looked at each other across the blade, and strange and terrifying energy fluctuations appeared all over their bodies at this moment!

And above the two of them, purple eyes looked down like the sun and moon.

Waves of roars echoed between the two of them, and the two completely different blades trembled slightly, but for a moment, they reached a deadlock.

This war reached its peak at the very beginning!

Yhwach felt the pressure coming from the blade and the inexplicable rules, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. With his free left hand, he swung forward violently, and saw a huge spiritual bow emerging above the two of them, with multiple bows shaped like giant spears.

The arrow appeared on the bow body, with an aura that seemed to be able to destroy everything, and aimed at the section of wood below!

This bow contains some kind of locking rules. Once it is aimed, Duan Mu feels unable to dodge, and an aura of destruction emerges from it. As soon as it condenses, the dark shadow flames are everywhere in this space.

Then they rushed toward the giant spear and arrows, dyeing the tips of the blue arrows pitch black.

Is there a position bonus?

Seeing this, Duan Mu twisted his lips and revealed a sarcastic smile: "Does the majestic King of Quincy still need to use external force when fighting the enemy?"

As he spoke, Duan Mu also raised his left hand. He didn't make much movement, he just reached forward and held it empty in the palm of his hand.

The moment the left hand completed the virtual grip, the sound like the vibrating bowstring of the great holy bow above their heads stopped abruptly, as if their necks were being strangled.

Um?

Yohabach raised his head and rolled his eyes, only to see a giant purple hand holding a nearly 100-meter-long holy bow in the palm of his hand as if squeezing a fly.

At the same time, Duan Mu closed the five fingers of his left hand.

Snap!

The huge spirit bow suddenly turned into spirits and dissipated, but before they were all dispersed, they were all sucked into Duan Mu's body.

After doing all this, Duan Mu's clenched left hand suddenly hit Yhwach's face.

All this seems to have taken a long time, but in fact, from the condensation of the Great Holy Bow to its destruction, it only took one sentence.

From crushing the Great Holy Bow to making a fist and swinging it out, it was done in one go, without any lag at all.

Yhwach frowned, but there was that arrogant and strange smile on his face. He did not use his left hand to block, but a semicircular shield with lines appeared on the surface of his body, and it expanded rapidly.

External hemostatic device.

But he didn't notice that the moment the external blood-static device appeared on this layer, the purple eyes hanging high above his head lit up.

Next second!

Bang!

Duan Mu's left fist hit Youhabach's face without any protection. The huge force made Youhabach's face dent, and then a burst of spirit energy hit the fist.

break out.

As blood spurted out, Yhwach's whole body was blown away like a football and shot out backwards.

Even though his feet stepped firmly on the void, he still slid a few dozen meters away. Yhwach, who covered his bloody face, looked at Duan Mu who was maintaining a punching posture through the gaps between his fingers, his eyes filled with gloomy murderous intent.

and the overwhelming anger caused by the trampling of dignity.

Passed through!

One's own external static blood suit is an enhanced extension skill of the static blood suit. After activating the ability, the static blood suit used for defense can be extended outside the body, turning it into a semicircular shield with patterns to resist attacks from the enemy.

offensive.

At the same time, it can also corrode anything that touches it, thus corroding the other person's body.

That is to say...

No matter whether the opponent breaks through the outer shield or attacks his own body, he will be harmed.

but……

However, Duan Mu's fist went directly through the semicircular shield and hit himself. Even after he was knocked back, the external blood static device was still intact.

Thinking of this, Yohabach raised his head and glanced at the top of his head.

Being able to analyze and neutralize the external blood-static equipment at the moment it is formed, Duan Mu's swastika was even more terrifying than he expected.

Withdrawing his gaze, Yhwach looked at Duan Mu who retracted his fist and looked at him with contempt. The anger in his eyes gradually calmed down.

"I see. It seems that I have underestimated you."

As he spoke, Yhwach moved away the palm that was covering his face. His face, which was still bloody and bloody a few seconds ago, had returned to normal. He looked at Duan Mu: "It's not just the Zanpakutō that's powerful, whether it's a slicing technique,

Still fighting in vain, you have already reached a level close to the limit of death."

"Hahahaha~~This is really surprising."

Duan Mu frowned slightly as he looked at Yohabach who suddenly laughed wildly.

"Compared to guys like Yamamoto Genryusai, you, who are not a member of the Gotei 13th Division, are walking at the forefront. Originally, I thought the only guy who could make me feel a little troublesome is Yamamoto Gen

There are only two, Liu Zhai and the so-called Death God leader."

"Now it seems that there will be one more person."

Although the two swords only collided for a moment, the will transmitted back from Duanmu Zanpakutō was so clear.

Yes, it is the will.

A will that can cut everything in two with one strike.

This shows that Duan Mu's understanding of beheading techniques has reached an extremely terrifying level.

And the punch that he experienced personally gave Yhwach a weird feeling, because it was obviously just one punch, but he felt like he had withstood two attacks.

The first attack had no spiritual power at all, but a bloom of pure power.

The second attack was a combination of spiritual power and energy, injecting new vitality into the punch that had reached its peak and was about to disappear, causing the power of this punch to skyrocket.

monster!

Even Yhwach could not help but comment on Duan Mu in his heart at this moment.

He has seen people with strong spiritual pressure, he has seen people with terrifying Zanpakuto abilities, he has also seen people with strong slicing techniques and white attacks... But when these are concentrated in one person, then that person can only use the 'monster' two

One word to describe it!

At this moment, for the first time, Yohabach valued Duanmu more than Yamamoto Genryusai.

Duan Mu did not speak, but bowed slightly, not as a salute, but as if he was charging forward, pressing down his upper body, and the long knife in his hand was at the side of his waist at this moment!

boom!

The majestic spiritual pressure surged onto the blade, and it was so intense that it even formed a purple flame that enveloped Duan Mu's entire body.

His short and medium-length black hair was dancing wildly. At this time, Duan Mu just stood there and caused the dark space around him to collapse.

No reservations.

At this moment, all the spiritual pressure in Duan Mu's body was released, and its force was so strong that it even made Duan Mu's body rattle. However, Duan Mu's body could completely withstand the spiritual pressure that completely liberated him, no matter how strong the spiritual pressure storm was.

No matter how violent it was, it had no impact on his body at all.

Coming!

When Yhwach saw this, the smile on his face faded and was replaced by a solemn look.

Expected, but unexpected!

He noticed that Duan Mu was coming, but he didn't notice...

Duan Mu has arrived!

Yhwach only saw Duan Mu, who was dozens of meters away, swaying slightly, and then there was a pain in his waist and abdomen.

Duan Mu disappeared from the field of vision, and behind him appeared a figure that was wrapped in purple spiritual pressure and looked like a god.

That's...

Duan Mu.

Yhwach lowered his head and saw that his lower body was gradually separated from his upper body.

Extreme speed.

It's not like traveling through space or time, it's just pure extreme speed.

That was when spiritual pressure, physical strength, and slashing techniques were brought into full play at the same time in an instant, thus giving birth to...

Extreme speed that transcends time and space!

Once the sword is swung out, there is no way to dodge it.

but……

Yhwach turned his head and looked at Duan Mu behind him. He was not flustered by being cut in half, but instead showed a smile.

Because he could see that this sword was already the pinnacle of Duan Mu's cutting skills, and using this sword would also bring a huge burden to him.

Muscles trembled, spiritual pressure was disordered, the blade screamed... Although the negative effects brought about by the extreme speed did not cause Duan Mu to suffer backlash, it did make it impossible for him to calm down the effects in a short period of time, and he was unable to pursue the victory.

Although if it were other enemies, even if they survived under this knife, they would completely lose their ability to fight.

However, his opponent is himself!

The cyan flames on his right hand burned, and Yohabach's lower body seemed to be attracted and stagnated in mid-air.

at the same time.

Within the domain constructed by Ju Ming, hundreds of Quincy outside the Star Cross Knights were ignited with green flames, causing them to turn into ashes before they could even scream. Their bodies, souls, strength, cores...

…Everything was integrated into Yhwach’s body in an instant.

Hundreds of Quincy died, and Yhwach's body, which had been chopped in half, healed instantly.

And what unfolds together with holiness is...

Usurping the altar!

His left hand turned into a claw, and multiple spiritual bullets appeared all around Duan Mu instantly, forming a Quincy Pentagram Formation.

"Give me your power!!"

Duan Mu, who was in the center of the five-ray array, felt that the power in his body had disappeared in an instant.

Duan Mu is no stranger to this trick, because he has repeatedly dug up all his memories of Yhwach during this year and studied them in depth.

Usurping the altar.

It can be said to be an extension of the gifting and recycling of Yhwach's own soul. It is an ability that transcends the rules and should strictly be called a 'conceptual' ability, which can be used to usurp the opponent's power.

In Duan Mu's memory, even the so-called oldest Death God, the leader of all Death Gods, is not immune to this kind of usurpation. However, although his power will be taken away, the Death God leader himself also has a 'conceptual'

Ability that makes the power that was usurped from him cannot be controlled by Yhwach and can be retrieved in an instant.

It doesn’t mean that concepts are necessarily stronger than rules, it’s just that one is relatively clear and the other is relatively vague.

But precisely because of clarity, in certain situations where clarity conditions are met, rules that transcend the rules can be exerted!

That is to say...

To break this trick, you only need to transcend the rules, even just for a moment.

Duan Mu's power has never been just a matter of spiritual pressure alone. Its complexity far exceeds Yhwach's imagination. Even Duan Mu himself has not fully understood it!

The moment he was usurped, the muscles all over his body surged, and the power of his body exploded. The spirit void marks in his body began to tremble at this moment. The spirit void marks engraved on the core of spiritual pressure, which had nothing to do with the body, were here.

In an instant, it actually began to interact with Duan Mu's body.

Purple branch-like lines instantly appeared on the surface of Duanmu's body, which looked very similar to the second-stage return blade of Tiruti and others!

That's...

This scene made the smile on Yhwach's face freeze.

Because the moment purple lines appeared on Duan Mu's body, the five-ray array formed by the usurping altar collapsed instantly, and the spiritual vortex that penetrated the realm of shadow enveloped Duan Mu's body.

In an instant, the spirit flames emerged from Duan Mu's body again.

"You can't control my power yet."

Duan Mu's cold voice reached Yuhabach's ears. It can be said that this move was created just to deal with usurping the altar, and the inspiration... came from the changes in Tiruti and others.

Yhwach did not speak, but lowered his hands and stared at Duan Mu with his eyes.

At this moment, hesitation appeared in the depths of his eyes, as if he was hesitating about something.

Duan Mu immediately caught the hesitation in his eyes. Although his face was still cold, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart.

You won't push it too far, right?

He had no intention of deciding the outcome with Yhwach here.

Just as he said at the beginning, his goal was just to leave as an absolute victor, thus making Yhwach fearful.

Rather than forcing Yhwach into a desperate situation and forcing him to open his eyes in advance.

Youhabach before and after you open your eyes can be called two kinds of creatures.

The gap can even be described as false gods and true gods!

Even if opening his eyes in advance would have some drawbacks, Duan Mu didn't want to face Yhwach alone after opening his eyes. At least he had to join forces with Captain Yamamoto to have a chance of victory, although... it was only a glimmer.

The glimmer of hope that comes with that flaw.

And this possibility of victory...

It's just victory, not destruction.

So above the head, the swastika integrated into this space, although there are worries about the swastika being usurped by its concept, but it is more for the sake of fighting Yhwach and being able to analyze it, rather than for the sake of fighting in this world.

Help yourself in battle.

Duanmu's spiritual pressure, under the terrifying physical tolerance, can be said to be in a state of complete release from the beginning, and there is no need to use the Zanpakutō as a medium.

That is to say...

Duan Mu's swastika will not increase his own spiritual pressure.

Therefore, for Duan Mu, when dealing with Yhwach who has not opened his eyes, it makes no difference whether he has a Zanpakutō or not.

Hajime's Zanpakutō was only used to trap the Star Cross Knights.

The continuous analysis is not for this battle, but for the decisive battle in the future!

But at this moment...

Duan Mu, however, began to mobilize the swastika above his head to integrate into this space, and tried his best to analyze all the changes in Yuhabach.

And at this moment, densely packed light beams illuminating the entire invisible empire descended from the sky at this moment.

Including the Knights of the Star Cross, almost all Quincy were shrouded in beams of light.

Holy?

This scene made all the Quincies look horrified on their faces.

But the next second, they realized something was wrong.

because……

It didn't disappear, but...

At this moment, everyone was connected to His Majesty, as if they were completely integrated into His Majesty's body.

This is?

Duan Mu's pupils shrank, and then his expression changed.

He suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, a fatal mistake.

That is...

I underestimated this part of the world, that is, the invisible empire's position bonus to Yhwach.

Being here is basically the same as being in Yhwach's body.

That is to say...

He can use methods other than holiness to use the realm of shadow to focus everyone's power on himself.

Not swallowing and recycling, but integrating into one!

I should have realized this before...
