Chapter 253: Initiative in War (7K)

Compared to the previous form, this form of Valkyrie seems to have only some changes on the surface, with some fancy patterns.

But.

These patterns bring him strength and vigorous vitality.

The vortex is blowing.

Dissolving his flesh and blood.

He is still trying to use his own power to heal his injuries and gain more powerful strength.

The idea is good, and it even has some effect.

But the wind of the "vortex" blows away quickly and violently, stripping off the skin in an instant, eroding the muscles and blood vessels, and leaving only bones in the blink of an eye.

Naruto showed no mercy.

Even the bones were completely crushed in the fierce wind.

A small pool of powder floated and was swept away by the wind.

Naruto's eyes were cold, staring at the deep pit that was pressed out just now, with only an outline left.

Even if he could be resurrected.

Even his body was completely destroyed, he couldn't be resurrected again.

But he was uneasy.

If that guy wasn't exaggerating, and he was the embodiment of "miracle", then even if he was torn to pieces, he could be resurrected again, wouldn't that be a greater miracle than "resurrection from the dead"?

The soldiers were cheering.

The captains and vice-captains were not blindly optimistic. They frowned and had the same worries as Naruto.

In nature, wind often falls with rain.

It's just that "Uzumaki" doesn't have the ability to control water. It may be able to squeeze out some water vapor by disturbing the clouds in the sky, but Naruto never does such a thing.

But now.

Raindrops are floating in the wind.

Naruto raised his hand and wiped it on his face. He felt like he was hit by raindrops, but his cheeks were wet and there was nothing.

"It's the rain flowing against the current." Kurama jumped out of his inner world and jumped onto Naruto's shoulder.

The reverse current

reminded him of what he saw in "Infinite Moon Reading" that day.

"It's spirit particles." Naruto recognized at a glance what those light spots floating in the air were.

They flowed upstream, they gathered and merged, and they outlined a rough outline.

It looked like a person.

Huge and glorious.

The body was reorganizing, but the spirit particles were not made of new flesh and blood like the initial "rebirth of broken limbs", but a purer energy body.

The body reorganized by spirit particles was more robust, and the size had not increased much, but the sense of oppression it brought was far greater than the previous form.

Perhaps it was because his appearance had already deviated from some human figures.

The head was tightly connected to the ancient Roman helmet, and the skirt even grew together with the shoulder blades.

Two bone spurs protruded high and tilted on the left and right shoulders.

Or perhaps it was because

the sun's rays in the sky seemed dimmer than the brilliance on him.

The light overflowing from his body occupied the remains of the entire First Squadron's barn.

Isn't this also a kind of "shadow"?

"I am immortal." Valkyrie, who was revived in the form of a giant of light, opened her arms and said in a magnificent and sacred voice, "Even if my body is destroyed, I can still be resurrected and fight for your majesty."

"Trembling, despairing!"

"Before you die, look at my--"

He roared, his left hand stretched straight forward, like holding a bow, and his right hand hooked the invisible bowstring and pulled it hard.

The spirit particles condensed, and the brilliance became even greater.

"Holy arrow of destruction."

A rough, wild arrow that was thicker than his arm condensed.

Disturbing the entire Soul Society.

The last few people were shouted out by him in a louder voice as if to vent their anger.

"The power of God!"

His right hand spread out.

He was about to shoot this arrow.

But such a thrilling move, in the end, nothing happened.

The wind blew past, and the arrow scattered.

Naruto's Uzumaki is almost the natural enemy of the Quincy, a group that relies on external spirit particles to fight. If the spirit particles are not under his control and become slightly active, his spell can be easily deconstructed.

Valkyrie realized this.

The ability of this sword called Uzumaki makes it almost impossible for him to use those conventional abilities.

He raised his hands in anger, clenched his hands, threw his whole body out, and rushed away like a meteor.

Naruto stepped in the air and jumped up lightly.

Valkyrie stumbled, raised his hands, twisted his waist and abdomen, and swung his body again, continuing to hit Naruto.

Since the Quincy's spell cannot be unfolded,

then use this strong body.

However, the two clenched hands failed to hit down.

The "Vajra Lock" flew over, tightly wrapped around his wrist, and hung in the air.

Naruto stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and the chains were more and more violent.

He narrowed his eyes, his expression was cold.

"Seal" was not an option for him, and he did not intend to seal this guy.

Unlike all the guys he had sealed before.

This guy.

was not "unique", he was just one of the Quincies that came and went in the Soul Society, and there were other Quincies besides him.

And this guy was unforgivable!

The soldiers of the First Squadron

And there was Chojiro Suzuki, as the most experienced vice-captain, he had been in the Gotei 13 for longer than most captains, and was a respected senior.

The important people around him were hurt and even killed like this.

He could not calm his anger while alive.

Only death could be considered an apology.

But.

Why can he be "immortal"?

Even every inch of his body was destroyed, but he could be resurrected again and again.

What is the principle?

Naruto didn't think that there would be an existence that could not die in the true sense. No one could. Even the world would be destroyed, let alone an individual in the world.

and

Every time he was injured, those strange lines would appear on his body.

Every time he dies and is resurrected, his form changes.

Damage recovery and resurrection from death all bring changes visible to the naked eye.

Therefore, he just used some means to escape the punishment of death.

He will die, he will die.

It’s just that I haven’t discovered the method yet.

Valkyrie struggled. His current posture was completely different from the posture he showed at the beginning. He was extremely powerful. With a twist of his wrist, several chains collapsed.

A dull, angry roar came from his mouth.

Naruto held out his hand.

The power of the vortex blew up again and hit Valkyrie.

The "Giant of Light"-like body disintegrated at a faster speed. It was originally composed entirely of spirit sons. At this time, it was like boiling water, running restlessly.

But even so, he still did not die.

Disintegrate and reorganize.

There is an impact.

The momentary loss of power and the momentary replenishment of power made it difficult for him to exert force smoothly, and the Vajra blockade on his wrist became more and more tight.

cycle several times.

Naruto caught a wisp of wind and condensed it into a short sword in his hand.

He looked Valkyrie over.

The Uzumaki took care of every part of his body, but he still didn't die.

obviously

The body is not the core element, it is just a shell and a way to vent power.

What will be the core?

The short sword points forward.

On the ground, there are two weapons lost by Valkyrie, one: the "Sword of Hope" and the other the "Shield of Justice", which are the weapons and props that he has always held in his hand.

Quincy usually uses the "Niecy Cross" as a medium to induce spirit sons and build bow strings.

but

This guy named Valkyrie didn't show many conventional Quincy methods from the beginning. The only time he used the "Holy Killing Arrow" was to rub it directly with his hands.

These two things are his only external possessions.

That sword has the special effect of counter-injury.

What about the shield?

No matter it was attacked or launched an attack, it didn't seem to show any "rules-based" special abilities similar to the Sword of Hope.

With a wave of his hand, the wind blew past.

The shield was carefully nibbled away, and the edges and corners were ground flat.

However, its damage did not have any impact on Valkyrie.

He is still destroyed and reorganized under the wash of "Uzumaki".

Not a shield.

So a sword?

Because it is the core, it has the ability to feedback the damage received back to the attacker after it is destroyed?

It seems not.

If so, Valkyrie shouldn't care so little about his weapons.

So

Naruto's eyes swept over and fell on this thing, that thing that had almost no value and seemed to only have "symbolic significance".

The Cross of Annihilation.

He has other weapons.

This thing seems to exist only to prove that he is a Quincy.

But since I always carry it with me.

Naruto stretched out his hand and grabbed it across the space.

Valkyrie reacted immediately and twisted his body.

only

How could he avoid the air currents in the space.

As he scrolled, he wrapped the Annihilation Cross.

The power of the "vortex" was worn away, and the pendant, which was not made of strong material, disintegrated little by little.

But this insignificant little thing made Valkyrie stiffen. As it disintegrated, the light from the "Giant of Light" also dissipated.

The "flesh" melts away.

The lingering sound of Valkyrie's "whoosh" breathing remained.

He should be dead.

But something remains.

The condensed body of the spirit child was disintegrated, and underneath it, a "heart" that even the "Uzumaki" could not destroy was suspended in the air.

Not that powerful, a little weak, but still beating strong.

The Quincy's aura completely disappeared here.

Only .

The breath of the Spirit King.

The heart is in the air, small and weak, obscured by the renewed sunlight.

But when it appeared, it attracted everyone's attention.

The faint, imperceptible "bang bang" sound in the wind is the heartbeat of the whole world.

Naruto narrowed his eyes.

He thought that those who had perfected the art had activated the fragments of the Spirit King after being attacked by "hollow", and then mastered abilities beyond the ordinary.

So

This guy named "Gerald Valkyrie", his original identity is the heart of the Soul King?

He was influenced by the power of the Quincy and had such an almost "immortality" ability.

And the "Cross of Annihilation" is like the medium through which the Perfectionist uses his power.

When the medium is damaged, their capabilities are lost.

Naruto stretched out his hand, and the wind gently blew the "Spirit King's Heart" onto his hand. The sealing technique was unfolded at the same time, hiding this heart that looked no different from a normal person.

Valkyrie dies.

Real death, the kind that will never be resurrected.

He lowered his head and stared at the masked Quincy.

They finally panicked and tried to withdraw the shadows and leave here.

However

The power of the Uzumaki was always affecting them.

No one could escape without Naruto's permission.

"Nu, they left it to you." Naruto shook his hand and said calmly, "They said the war would last five days, but I only gave you one day."

Kuturo Mayuri clicked his tongue and shook his head: "Only one day?"

"A lot of things."

Naruto interrupted him: "It concerns the entire Soul Society, and even the Three Realms."

"If you can't do it, I think I can temporarily put aside my grudges and go find that guy Urahara."

Kuturo Mayuri "clicked" even more unhappily, with a long tone, like a cat's claw scratching glass: "Captain Uzumaki, I'm the director of the Technology Development Bureau."

"I don't need the help of a guy who's not even a Death God."

"Not even one day."

He took a deep breath, his tone firm and decisive: "Before tonight, I can dismantle useful information."

Naruto stepped on the void and walked down to the captain-general.

"Well done." Yamamoto Genryusai said softly, "At least it didn't make the Soul Society lose too much face."

"Too many people died." Naruto stared at the white-haired, mustache-faced man in his arms, "Their methods are too weird."

Yamamoto Genryusai shook his head: "This is a skill that I haven't seen a thousand years ago."

"I think. They have been preparing for this thousand years."

"The God of Death is evolving, and they are also evolving."

"It's just that their span seems a little too incredible."

Naruto turned his head to look at the captains who were gathered around.

"The First Division's barracks are now destroyed." Yamamoto Genryusai leaned over and spoke to the group of people, "If we hold a meeting in such a ruin, it would be impolite and lose our manners."

"Let's go to the Seventh Division's barracks."

He waved his remaining hand, turned his head, and looked at the destroyed buildings, as well as the soldiers lying in all directions, with their bodies cut open and their deaths tragically.

The look in his eyes was inevitably turbulent.

He could sacrifice these people, including his own disciples and friends, for the sake of Soul Society and Seireitei without hesitation.

Just like when he fought Aizen, he had made this choice without hesitation.

But if it wasn't so "necessary".

He would have wanted to protect these people.

He was just decisive, not really heartless.

Fortunately,

Chojiro Suzuki was not dead yet.

"Each team should handle it properly and be on emergency alert." Yamamoto Genryusai handed his vice-captain to Unohana Retsu's vice-captain, holding a cane in one hand and hitting the ground hard, "We may have to face the most brutal war in the past thousand years."

Naruto won.

But this battle was not good news.

Valkyrie's ability was far beyond that of an ordinary captain.

Judging from his performance.

In Yamamoto Genryusai's mind, there were only three people who were sure to beat him, including himself and Naruto.

The remaining one was "Kyoraku Shunsui".

He had the ability and brains, so he might be able to come up with some useful ideas.

As for the others.

Even his most cherished disciple "Ukitake Jushiro" has almost no chance. If he is not sick, he may still be able to do it.

And this guy is just a messenger of war.

It is unknown how many powerful beings like him exist in the "Invisible Empire".

No matter how powerful he and Naruto are,

One of them has to deal with Yhwach.

As long as there are two more beings like "Valkyrie", the survival of Seireitei will be gambled on Naruto's "unknown potential", his other moves, and his "Bankai" that he has not yet developed.

Or, it will be gambled on the "brain of the Quincy" and pray that they will commit self-destructive acts.

But this possibility is not as good as expecting those guys to suddenly die.

Half an hour later.

The 7th Division's barracks.

Not as small and lively as the 1st Division's meeting room.

Soi-Fong's small table was moved to the corner.

Hitsugaya's table was stacked on top.

The Nine-Tails' nest was stuck in the middle, and there were some miscellaneous "trophies" it collected, such as Kenpachi Zaraki's bell, Yamamoto Genryusai's beard and the like.

"The Invisible Empire has declared war on us." Yamamoto Genryusai narrowed his eyes and said in a serious tone, "and because of the massacre of more than a hundred soldiers of my Gotei 13."

"This is..."

"Our biggest loss in a thousand years."

In the battle with Aizen, only a few captains were lost, and within a few years, they had all been made up.

In the battle with Muramasa, there was only a lot of chaos, and there was not much loss of combat power.

But this time is different.

A large number of officers died, and the first team was destroyed. It takes at least one or two years to get familiar with a matter, not to mention picking the most suitable candidate.

The talents cultivated by the first team over the years, as well as the entire reserve talent pool, have collapsed because of this.

"Unforgivable!"

"Back then, I didn't kill all the Quincies because they didn't do anything really harmful to the world. Although I was ignorant, I did it for the good of the world."

"Now they don't cherish them at all and are trying to start a war again."

"Captain Kuroshiro Mayuri, have you found the base camp of those guys?"

Nirvana glanced at Naruto and shook his head: "Not yet. There is currently no precedent for their technology to refer to. I am analyzing it."

"Let me see the results now."

He pulled out a syringe from his sleeve and without hesitation, stabbed it into his arm.

Invisible liquid infusion.

His eyes suddenly moved uncontrollably, and his whole figure was sped up a thousand times, and a wave of extremely dazzling afterimages appeared with his hand.

In this state, he forms a seal and dissolves the shadow clone.

The complex information made the veins on Nirvana's forehead jump, but the medicine injected just now effectively suppressed the impact of these information.

After a few minutes, the effects of the drug wore off, he returned to normal, and the information was sorted out.

"There is still no result yet." Nirvana formed a seal with cocoon power, and the shadow clones were separated again, and they sprang out of the body one after another. "But there is already a breakthrough."

"I have dismantled their way of encrypting the space. I only need to break the code to find them."

He grinned and looked at Naruto again.

"If you ask that guy Urahara to do it, he won't be as effective as me."

In order to satisfy Naruto's request, some useful results must be produced within half a day.

Nirvana stopped all the projects in his hands, even the analysis of the "Quincy" was put on hold for the time being.

Thousands of clones, working in small groups of seven people, are constantly analyzing.

Aggregate every half hour, analyze all results, and then find one or several most effective and seemingly correct directions, and then continue research with these directions as goals.

This works great.

A lot of research is to sum up experience and gradually find the right direction through repeated failures.

It has something to do with talent and luck.

Even for a guy like "Kisuke Urahara", the process of failure, groping, failing again, and groping again is indispensable in his research.

It's just that he is very smart. After one failure, he can draw inferences and eliminate more other wrong routes.

genius

Just more accurate than ordinary people.

Of course, no one can withstand the impact of thousands of huge and complex information at once, let alone Nirvana every half hour.

The medicine just now was a medicine he developed specifically for the "shadow clone technique".

He simply named it "the doppelgänger."

The effect is also very simple, that is, your thinking and brain space will increase a thousand times in a certain period of time, so that you have enough capacity and ability to analyze this information.

"Really?" Yamamoto Genryusai's expression softened slightly, "Then all divisions will be reorganized."

"The words of those treacherous and renegade villains cannot be trusted."

"Not to mention Naruto has killed their messenger."

"Although they started a war five days later, we cannot place our hopes on their morality."

"and--"

"This is the biggest provocation to the Seireitei. We must take the initiative in the war."

Jingraku Shunsui lowered his hat and let out a tut.

The old man was angry.

He tilted his head to look at Naruto.

"I have some additional information." The blond figure also stood up at the right time and spoke, "The so-called invisible empire of the Quincy is probably in Soul Society."

The captains were stunned.

Yamamoto Genryusai was not surprised. This information had already been stated in previous exchanges.

"I asked the seventh team to prepare, but before it started, they came over and declared war." Naruto shook his head and continued, "Captains, please do your best."

"Whether we have the initiative or they have the initiative."

"The final battlefield will probably be prepared within the Seireitei."

The captains looked solemn.

battlefield

In Seireitei?

"As for the purpose of these enemies," Naruto whispered, taking out a scroll and holding it in his hand, "I'm afraid they will be the Spirit King."

"Everyone knows the Perfect Master, right?"

"I learned from that guy just now"

Nie Yuli couldn't wait to interrupt him and shouted: "I saw it, the aura of the Spirit King is the heart."

"That must be the heart of the Spirit King."

"How about handing this thing to me, Captain Uzumaki? Maybe with this thing, I can find out where the base camp of those guys is faster."

His eyes were full of desire.

He had secretly browsed through the research records of the "Great Spiritual Book Corridor" regarding "Bengyu", and one of the raw materials used to make it was "Spiritual King Fragments".

Regardless of Aizen's piece or Urahara Kisuke's piece, the material used is only "the Soul King's fingernail", an insignificant part.

What was in front of him now was the "Heart of the Soul King".

it seems.

Possess the power of "immortality".

Although it is still uncertain, "immortality" is definitely not the Quincy's ability.

It is simply the most precious research material in this world.

Nirvana wants it.

Even if he is asked to admit that he is not as good as Urahara Kisuke, as long as he can get that thing, he can do it.

Naruto just glanced at him lightly: "I can confirm that the Quincy's aura is somewhat similar to the Soul King's aura, and I have had little contact with them before."

"But now I am certain that they come from the same source."

"Or, the Soul King and the Quincy have a very close relationship."

Yamamoto Genryusai lowered his head and frowned in thought.

He was not very clear about this. Although he had lived for a long time, it was still too small compared to the long history of this world and the entire Three Realms of nearly a hundred years and ten thousand years.

"Let's wait until the result of Kuroshio Mayuri comes out." Yamamoto Genryusai said softly, "There are some things that even I don't know."

The present world.

Kurosaki Ichigo raised his sword and stood behind a Quincy, frowning and thinking: "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean by"

"I am protected too well?"

"And what about the seizure of Bankai you mentioned?"

The Quincy held by the sword, named "Azkiello Ibon", grinned and shook his head: "Your potential has only been exchanged for a part."

"Uzumaki Naruto and the Gotei 13 protected you too well."

"So you only have this kind of strength now."

Kurosaki Ichigo looked confused.

Only, this kind of strength?

He couldn't figure out how a guy who was at a disadvantage in front of him could say such a high-sounding word.

And his strength was not weak.

Another deputy Shinigami, Uncle Ginjo Kugo, said that his strength had surpassed his.

Manager Urahara also said that he already had excellent strength among the "captain level" and was a genius no less than Uncle Uzumaki Naruto.

That's fine.

He also felt that he had always been protected by his elders.

What he cared more about was the chanting of the Word Spirit, the ability to "star".

"Seize Bankai".

Is there really such a literal ability?

Azkielro Ibon shook his head and stared at the knife in Ichigo Kurosaki's hand.

He didn't want to say anything now.

He didn't want to fight even more.

Compared with delaying Ichigo Kurosaki, the current information is more worthy of reporting to His Majesty.

The ability to seize Bankai.

It turned out to be ineffective against Ichigo Kurosaki.

He stretched out his hand, grabbed the void, and pulled out a shadow, covering half of his body. These dark and sticky things squirmed and twisted his body.

Kurosaki Ichigo stretched out his hand, trying to grab him: "Wait!"

"Don't make any more futile attempts." The person in the shadow spoke with a hint of pride, "Only the chosen ones are qualified to blend into the shadow."

As the words fell, only a faint spiritual power fluctuation remained in the void.

Kurosaki Ichigo widened his eyes and stared at the sky where a fierce struggle had just erupted.

The person disappeared.

In a way he didn't understand.

"Quincy".

I have never heard of such an ability.

My mother didn't mention it.
