Chapter 195 194: Death and Rebirth

It is necessary to carefully consider when making a wish to the Hogyoku.

After all, in this world of death gods full of intrigue and deception, the Hogyoku is the most "honest" thing.

After hearing the wishes made by others, the Hogyoku will weigh and compare, and finally find the most appropriate way to deal with it.

Although it may sound a bit "roundabout".

But in the final analysis, the Hogyoku will still try its best to satisfy the wishes of the wisher.

Therefore, the wish that Arima Shizuya said at this moment is also the result of careful consideration.

And now there is a very simple and straightforward question.

Arima Shizuya, does he really want to become a hollow?

The answer is naturally no.

Years of life as a death god... and many experiences have made Arima Shizuya have a high sense of identity with his current identity.

Let him choose to abandon his thoughts and rationality and become a beast without reason.

This is something that Arima Shizuya can't accept.

This point is also the point of view of the master... After all, Aizen Sosuke studied the hollows in order to find a way to break through the limits of the god of death.

So.

What is Arima Shizuya's intention?

Or, what purpose does he want to achieve through the power of the "hollow"?

At this moment, the answer is clear and obvious.

- I want to replace the hollow and become the foreign object in the coincidence.

- Then, by chance, the god of death and the Quincy were "mistakenly" connected.

- Finally, it became a fusion of the two forces, and from the perspective of the actor, I tried to see another different scenery.

Yes.

Arima Shizuya didn't just want to stay at the perspective of a "spectator" or a "chess player".

Now that he has the opportunity, he also wants to try to practice it himself.

If he can really replace the hollow and become the "white" that appears in Ichigo Kurosaki's inner world.

Then things will surely become quite interesting.

After all, Arima Shizuya thought that he would not be as arrogant as Xubai, and if he could participate in it, he would have many ideas...

Want to explain to Kurosaki Ichigo.

As Arima Shizuya said just now, through this method, he can indeed see a completely different scenery.

At the same time, he may also be able to obtain a new power.

With a bit of trepidation, and at the same time, he also has a bit of "watching for fun" mentality.

At this moment, Arima Shizuya quietly looked forward to the reaction of the Hogyoku.

Time passed slowly.

However, the expected scene did not appear-the Hogyoku seemed to fall into a deep sleep, and there was no reaction at this moment.

"...???"

Such a scene, let alone Arima Shizuya, even the researcher, the prison master, showed a rather surprised expression at this moment.

Abnormal things are rare, not to mention that it involves the most important research data?

Even if he is as calm as Aizen Sosuke, he needs to carefully examine the cause and effect at this moment.

"Shizuya-kun, you just..."

The words were not finished.

As if in the moment when the thoughts paused, the Collapsed Jade between the two of them bloomed with unparalleled brilliance at this moment.

Boom!!!

Layers of light began to pile up and flicker like waves.

As if the air began to vibrate with it, the lines visible to the naked eye twisted and formed in the air.

"This is..."

As strong as the prison master, he couldn't help but ponder for a long time at this moment.

Because he could see, touch, and feel...

Everything around the Collapsed Jade showed a tendency to collapse at this moment!

The first to be affected was Aizen Sosuke.

He could feel the intense pain, which twisted along the skin and flesh at this moment, and rushed straight to the brain along the nerve duct.

The simple pain was not enough to affect the prison master's judgment. His calm and composed eyes fell down, and at this moment he briefly observed and analyzed his situation...

Until a moment later, the prison master made a decision.

——I can’t stay here, I’ll be dragged in.

Judgment and action are parallel.

Just when his thoughts were condensed, the body of the prison master had already started to move.

He would leave here immediately and observe the situation from a safer distance. So Arima Shizuka should do the same...

Not giving up his godson’s clone, Aizen Sosuke silently stretched out his left hand, subconsciously wanting to push the other’s shoulder.

But before he touched it.

Aizen came into contact with a familiar and hazy consciousness.

‘Don’t stop it.’

‘This is also a part of fulfilling the wish.’

“…”

The Collapsed Jade is not a simple dead object, it also has its own unique consciousness.

Although it rarely speaks, over the years, it is rare for the other party to contact him actively.

The prison master was silent at this moment, and he made a judgment in a flash.

That is, to give up saving the Yasha clone, and retreat lightly at this moment, instantly opening a safe distance.

Standing at the edge, Tosen, who had already taken his place but had no idea what was going on, couldn't help but speak.

"Lord Aizen, what's going on now?"

The prison master opened his mouth slightly, but found that he didn't seem to know how to start.

“…”

If I knew what was happening now, would I still behave so awkwardly?

As if realizing that his problem was too foolish, Tosen Yao could only ponder and look at his side.

As the original body, Arima Shizuya calmly closed his eyes at this moment.

As a death god who can achieve true empathy with his clone, Arima Shizuya's experience at this moment can be said to be quite novel.

Because he can feel it.

His body is gradually "dissolving".

No, if you have to describe it, perhaps "melting" would be more appropriate.

The first to lose the sense of touch are the fingertips and feet.

Like a maggot on the tarsal bone, this greedy and subtle numbness keeps invading.

Soon it covers both arms and the area below the knees.

With a "thump".

Arima Shizuya, who has lost the ability to control, seems to have "fallen" into this blank space of consciousness.

So this is what it feels like to lose hands and feet?

The moment his thoughts condensed, the numbness spread to his chest.

His throat subconsciously rolled, and although he knew it was meaningless, Arima Shizuka still subconsciously opened his mouth.

He began to breathe violently.

It seemed that just by this simple action, he could get himself out of the predicament.

However, things did not turn around at all.

In this strong sense of numbness, Arima Shizuka eventually lost all control of his body.

He was stripped of his identity as a god of death, and he no longer had the concept of a spirit... He was suffocated, strangled, and completely lost everything.

At this moment, Arima Shizuka.

He seemed to have "died" again.

And in this chaos where there was no distinction between before and after, day and night.

Arima Shizuka finally felt that his consciousness began to become clear.

At first, it was a small bright spot like the sun.

Then...

The "prairie fire" spread in an instant.

And in this flickering brilliance, Arima Shizuka also saw... the brand new self.

...

"Lord Aizen... this is..."

Tousen Kaname's tone was quite choked.

He obviously wanted to say something, but it was difficult to say it.

It was not uncommon to have such a degree of entanglement. After all, Aizen Sosuke was also confused by the reality.

The reason was simple.

It had been too long...

Since the Collapsing Jade began to emit a strong brilliance and completely wrapped up Arima Shizuya's Yasha clone.

It had been more than ten minutes until now.

The energy of the Collapsing Jade has always been quite restrained. It was abnormal to have such behavior now.

Not only did it take so much time, but Arima Shizuya beside him also closed his eyes at some point.

He fell into a short and unresponsive silence.

Although people can suppress their fear of the unknown through self-control... However, the prison master at this moment did not seem to want to simply wait.

The longer the time, the stranger it felt.

He wanted to try to find out for himself.

But at this moment, Arima Jing beside him suddenly opened his eyes.

Wake up!

In the venue, it was as if countless lights were condensed, and the Collapse Jade at this moment finally seemed to be pushed to the critical point...

At this moment, it broke out completely.

With a loud bang, the basement that had been reinforced was also blasted into an extremely large pit at this moment.

Smoke and dust rose into the sky, making it impossible to see the scenery inside... and at the same time, it was impossible to capture specific information.

The prison master was quite calm, just waving at this moment.

Years of getting along, he had already done a lot of tricks in the Collapse Jade - similar calling commands were just the tip of the iceberg.

And after doing all this.

Dongxian Yao turned his head quickly and said in a very excited tone.

"Arima! Are you okay?!"

Compared with the result, he was more concerned about the situation of his friend.

As for the latter.

He raised his left hand in a deep thought, and while holding his forehead, he said in a rather strange tone.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute..."

It was not perfunctory, but his situation was indeed a little confusing... Considering his current situation, it was not suitable to respond immediately.

In contrast, the performance of the prison master was much more subtle.

He stared at the smoke and dust that began to spread in front of him, tilted his head slightly, and made a thoughtful expression.

"Is this reaction because this attempt... succeeded?"

There is a reason for such an inference.

"After all, it is a consciousness that can be shared. The reason why they were able to move freely before was because both parties had exactly the same body and ability."

Just like the difference between the left hand and the right hand, they only have different characteristics in subtle places, and the operating logic is exactly the same.

However.

What if it is the combination of the left hand and the right foot?

"Only after suddenly switching to another mentality will this degree of discomfort occur."

As soon as the voice fell, before Tosen could say anything else, Arima Shizuka smiled and said.

"Ahahaha...you're amazing, Mr. Aizen."

I have to say.

The prison master is indeed a genius in this regard.

The fact is that just as the other party said, the current Arima Shizuya... he is trying to adapt to the world from another perspective.

…

What came into view was blood red.

The thoughts in my mind are very chaotic, although all I can capture are familiar things and outlines.

But at the same time, a strong desire for destruction arose in people's hearts.

Eager, hungry, manic...

And such complex emotions are like sugar melted in warm water, making it impossible for Shizuru Arima to get rid of them at this moment.

Uncontrollable impulse, even though it has been controlled by reason.

But he still couldn't help but raised his head...

Let out a sharp roar.

"roar!!!"

A loud noise that could shake the world.

It was as if the knock shook the air, completely dispersing the lingering smoke and dust around it.

at the same time……

Above the sky.

In the palace of the Spirit King.

With his eyes slightly closed, Ichibei, the commander of the army, who was currently dozing, suddenly opened his eyes.

"What~ Are you harassing me again?"

"Really, if I had known earlier, I shouldn't have given you the slightest chance."

"Although this is also the will of the Spirit King, to a certain extent, it is just a possible variable..."

As if talking to oneself.

The commander of the army, Ichibei, was talking in detail, while his eyes were staring at the sky in the distance without focus.

"But now."

"It's somewhat different..."

Time is a river that flows in one direction, and so is the flow of everything - whether it is mountains, rivers, or the Yellow River.

Their final destination will be the embrace of the sea.

Therefore.

"No matter what it is, it should have its own end point."

Hollow, human, Death, Quincy.

No matter what they are called, these things are entities active in 'time'.

It is like a swimming fish.

"When fish leave the water, they will eventually die because they can't breathe, right?"

Even if there are occasionally powerful individuals.

With his own strength, he jumped out of the long river and caught a glimpse of a corner called 'The World'.

Its final destination remains unchanged.

And this is also where the confidence of Ichibei, the commander of the army, lies.

But things are obviously different now.

"You've grown arms and legs, kid."

Out of the water.

Get rid of the troubles of survival.

You, who symbolizes the fish, are dead.

What exists now is a new thing that has the right to breathe.

So.

"With that weak body, how far can you go?"

It’s really getting more and more exciting.

"Hoo ho ho..."

"A man worthy of the attention of Lord Soul King."

"Arima Shizuya."
