From the Void King To the Ghost Swordsman of the Light of the Beginning

Cold, heavy, and weak all over, as if something was pressing on him, Ichigo slowly opened his eyes...

The festering field is no longer in the field of vision, but a room like a prison, filled with a strange power, which makes Ichigo unable to use his power.

He had a terrible headache, and at this moment everything before the coma came to his mind again, and Ichigo couldn't help covering his head.

one night...

Ichigo couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart when he thought about the indifferent eyes of Yoruichi he saw for the last time. Yoruichi had been supporting him since he entered the world of corpses and souls, but now he looked at him with that kind of eyes as if he was looking at an enemy. To himself, how can he accept this? !

"hateful……"

Ichigo struggled and roared, then walked to the pillar of the prison and wanted to destroy it, but he couldn't use his strength now, and the prison was so strong that it couldn't be destroyed at all.

"Stop wasting your efforts."

Suddenly, Grimmjow's voice came from another direction.

"I've tried it a long time ago, but I can't open it at all, unless...you can re-enter the state where you killed that big guy."

Ichigo turned his head hastily, and saw Grimmjow sitting in another room looking at him.

"Grimmjow, you were also..."

"Stop talking about such stupid things. Seeing you like this makes me want to laugh. Do you want to show you what you look like now?" Grimmjow said directly and coldly.

Ichigo froze for a moment, then fell silent.

"You looked like you were about to cry just now." Grimmjow continued, "It's really useless. Could it be that the woman is your friend and you don't have the heart to do it, or are you feeling that she is being manipulated?" Sad?"

Ichigo continued to remain silent, and seeing him like this, Grimmjow sneered and said, "Stop talking, it seems I've hit the mark."

"Hey hey hey! What are you doing like this? I will never give up on what I want to do. Even if it is a so-called friend, as long as I am in front of me, I will never show mercy, let alone... she If she is controlled, shouldn't it be more important to defeat the enemy who controls her?! You look like an opponent to fight with me, it's really ugly."

He was sitting on the ground, dragging his head with one hand and looking at Kurosaki Ichigo. He has always had a high self-esteem, but he fought him to the death before he saw it. This kind of weak expression made him unable to restrain himself from saying angrily.

Hearing Grimmjow's words, Ichigo was taken aback for a while, then smiled...

"You're right. Complaining about yourself won't help. Rather than lingering in front of this kind of thing, solving the problem is the most important thing."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the surrounding layout and found that it was a temple. The architectural style was actually similar to that of the 'gbl sect', but it was more ghostly.

There is only him and Grimmjow in this temple, and no one supervises it. This may be good news.

This kind of power to suppress them should be the ability of the apostles, so as long as the power of the apostles is used against the apostles, there should be a certain possibility of cracking.

It's just that he doesn't know whether he can use the apostolic form in his current state...

Thinking of this, Ichigo was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly asked, "How long has it been since we were caught...?"

He still remembered that Yun Mi said that Rotes would be able to recover in one day, and the end of that day...

How long is it?

If Lotus' power is restored...

Then it's all over...

"have no idea……"

Grimmjow said casually, "In purgatory, I can't feel the passage of time."

"how?"

Grimmjow looked at Ichigo with a solemn expression and asked, although he is Aizen's Ten Blades, it doesn't mean he knows about the apostle.

"It's only an hour before Master Rotes wakes up."

Suddenly, a person walked in from the door. She wore a sacred robe like a priest of the 'gbl religion', and walked in with a solemn face, and the moment Ichigo saw her, he became excited.

"Inoue!"

That's right, it was Orihime Inoue who came! So far, the two people who Kurosaki Ichigo came to do have seen all of them, but compared to the indifferent Yoruichi, Orihime at this moment seems to have room for communication.

Hope suddenly rose in Ichigo...

"Kurosaki-san, why did you come here?" Inoue Orihime walked up to Kurosaki Ichigo, her face seemed a little melancholy, looking at Kurosaki Ichigo, she whispered, "Are you going to destroy Luo? Lord Tess' awakening ceremony?"

"Orihime, listen to me!" Hearing what Orihime said, Ichigo said quickly, "Rotes has manipulated your mind, you can't revive him, otherwise he will destroy the world!"

"...No, it won't be like this!" Orihime seemed to have a hard time accepting Ichigo's words, she said excitedly, "Master Rotus has given me a new life, even if Kurosaki-san wants to stop me, I will not agree !"

"Moreover, Mr. Rotes will never destroy this world. On the contrary, Mr. Rotes has been working hard to protect this world. There are other people who want to destroy it!"

"..." Hearing Orihime's words, Ichigo's heart sank. He originally thought that Orihime might not be brainwashed as deeply as Yeichi, but now it seems...

Is it really so...

Also, Orihime is the most important factor for Rotes to restore his strength, how could Rotes not hit hard?

"Zhihime, let me out." After a brief silence, he raised his head to look at Zhiji's face, and said seriously, "Whether you are being controlled, as long as I come out, I can prove it to you."

After becoming an apostle, he has all kinds of incredible abilities, and he is confident in eliminating the power of mental control of Rotes.

However, Orihime Inoue directly refused.

"Even if it's Kurosaki-san, I won't let you delay Lord Roters' recovery, sorry..."

Orihime took one last look at Ichigo, then turned around resolutely, and walked towards the door.

Ichigo sighed softly, looking at Orihime's back, feeling lost.

But soon he cheered up, this time he was going to use the apostle directly, because Orihime said that there was only one hour for Rotes to be resurrected, that is, two hours, during these two hours, he not only had to To get out of trouble, and to snatch Yoruichi and Orihime from Rotes, it can be said that there are still many things to do.

After being in a coma for such a long time, Fu's physical strength and spiritual pressure have recovered a lot, but when he was about to enter the apostolic state, he suddenly felt the ground under his feet shake violently!

"What's wrong……?!"

This shock...

It seems that the place of origin does not lie under my feet, but...

further afield...

………………

Just at the time when Yoruichi defeated Kurosaki Ichigo and Grimmjow and knocked them out, the gods of death who started to advance forward had already entered the 'periphery of the temple' and began to search for the so-called prophecy.

"These people seem to have been brainwashed by Roters."

On the road, there are corpses of dead priests along the way, and it is the god of death who caused all this.

The God of Reaper at this moment is no longer just a few captains. In order to advance better, the Guarding Thirteenth Team has sent over hundreds of soldiers. At this moment, they are divided into four groups to search the prophecy book of Hyasis together. .

And Hitsugaya, who led the 10th squad all the way, said to his vice-captain Matsumoto Rangiku, "Be careful, since Rotes can brainwash these people, it is also possible to brainwash us."

He knew that even Sifengyuan Yeyi was controlled by Rotes, so he was very afraid. He didn't quite agree to send team members here, because they had a higher risk of being controlled.

However, the captain thought that he would not be controlled if the ordinary soldiers were simply pushed forward instead of participating in the final battle to siege the apostles, so in the end he let the soldiers come to the sky through Captain Unohana's black voice Behemoth.

"We will be careful, and if things cannot be done, the captain can just do his own thing."

Of course Matsumoto Rangiku understands the current situation, but every shinigami has already made up his mind the moment he joins the team.

"Um?"

Hitsugaya originally wanted to reply normally, but suddenly felt an ominous spiritual pressure. He turned his head, only to see a human wearing a white robe embroidered with gold came out, holding a A book that exudes extremely special spiritual pressure fluctuations.

"It seems that... it has been found."

When he saw the book, Hitsugaya said in a deep voice, "From this point of view, it may not be that he was mentally controlled by Rotes, nor were those octopuses turned into people. They were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe when the destruction came. people?"

If it is a person who is controlled by the mind, then he will not hold the prophecy book at all, because the information about Rotes is recorded in that book, and of course Rotes will not keep it.

boom

Before Hitsugaya made a move, the white-robed clergyman had already launched an attack first, and an icy chill emanated from the book.

The cold air turned into a huge cloud of smoke, pressing down on Hitsugaya overwhelmingly, but seeing this scene Hitsugaya did not panic, but was a little happy.

Ice attribute!

As long as it is the power of ice, Hitsugaya can absorb and contain it, and even the opponent's soul can be contained by his own ghost hand.

And after entering the hands of ghosts, they can even recover part of their sanity, just like Charlie the bone prisoner.

And with the attack of the Preacher of Dawn, a large number of priests flooded around, and the Reaper soldiers swarmed up, while Hitsugaya swung a knife, first frozen the terrifying ice fog, and rushed towards the Preacher division.

"Swastika Dahonglian Binglun Pill!"

He entered the state of Swastika, and the ice formed on his limbs, turning into dragon claws and dragon tail. With a wave of the knife in his hand, a large amount of ice was immediately produced to form a small iceberg.

The iceberg pressed down towards the preacher, who muttered something, and the book in his hand released power again, suspending the iceberg in the air abruptly.

"Dragon rack!"

The first move was blocked, and Hitsugaya Toshiro followed up with the second attack. They have precious time now, and they must seize every minute and every second.

Therefore, he directly attacked with all his strength without reservation!

Especially when the opponent was already restrained by himself, there was no need for any temptations. Toshirō Hitsugaya unsealed the ghost hand and immediately released power from it, making his sword stronger.

Moreover, the cold ice released by the preacher was continuously absorbed by him. Under the ebb and flow, he directly broke through the defense set by the opponent and pierced his heart.

The extremely compressed ice spread out immediately, forming an ice cross with the missionary at the center!

In fact, the priest's spiritual pressure is also at the level of a captain, but he was naturally restrained by Toshirō Hitsugaya, so he was solved so easily.

After freezing him, Hitsugaya even used the power of the ghost hand to absorb the essence of his soul into his body.

Through the incident of Charlie in the bone prison, Toshiro Hitsugaya understood another use of his ghost hand, which is to absorb the soul of a person, and he can cooperate with him after the other party recovers.

He can obtain some information from the other party, and sometimes this information may be more valuable than the power brought by devouring.

It's just that this method is also more demanding, and the other party must also be an ice user, otherwise he will be directly frozen to death by the extreme cold in his ghost hand.

Thinking of this, Hitsugaya broke the ice in the hands of the preacher and took out the book in his hands.

The Book of Ecclesiastes at Dawn

On the front page of the book, these six words were written impressively, and Hitsugaya was immediately disappointed. He thought this was the prophecy book of Hyasis they were looking for, but it turned out to be a book of Ecclesiastes.

It's just that this book also has a certain degree of magic. With a curious mind, Hitsugaya opened it anyway, at least preparing to take a rough look at the contents of the book.

And just seeing the first page took him by surprise!

"In my opinion, the most merciful thing in the world is that human beings cannot connect and connect all their thoughts."

"Our homeland is a peaceful island of ignorance in an endless blackness, but that doesn't mean we have to sail far.

"Inquiry in each field has followed its own direction and has not harmed us so far; but someday when we can really piece together all those separate knowledges, the real world that unfolds before us, and the role of human beings in it. conditions that will drive us either to madness, or to flee from the terrible light to a peaceful, dark new age."

After turning a few more pages, Hitsugaya's heart felt like the waves of the sea were rolling, he held back the surprise in his heart, and forcibly closed the book.

"Captain, is there a problem?"

And Luan Ju, who had dealt with those ordinary priests, couldn't help saying when he saw this scene.

"...Matsumoto, let's go back to the camp!" After closing the book, Hitsugaya said in a deep voice

"Perhaps, this is the book of prophecy we are looking for..."

"one!"
