Chapter 694 The truth about the Spirit King
The real...Spiritual King? !
Lord's eyes flashed slightly, showing an expression of astonishment.
The words of the military commander, Ichibei, do have some thought-provoking meaning.
If we were to speculate based solely on the meaning of the sentence, wasn't the man who had been sealed in the crystal coffin and dismembered the Spirit King?
"You...have seen me before?"
Lord frowned and stared at the face of Ippei, the commander of the army, not missing any detail: "You claim to be a sinner, but you have no doubts about my existence. I can assume that you have expected it. Today?"
Even though he didn't want to, he thought in that direction.
But the spirit king training system is still the root cause that he can't let go of. There is nothing wrong with considering the worst outcome first and then making complete preparations.
As the 'guard' of the Soul King, Ippey of the Military Chief Division had participated in the initial incident of dismantling the Soul King.
Therefore, from many levels, the Military Master Department itself is equivalent to the history of the Three Realms. It must know many real secrets about the Spirit King that outsiders do not know. This is also one of the reasons for summoning the Military Master Department.
What Lord wants to explore is not just the 'War in Heaven', but also... the relationship between the system and the Soul King!
"Hahahaha, your question is really strange."
Ichibei, the commander of the army, touched his bald head and laughed: "Of course I have met you. After all, it was me and the ancestors of the five nobles who followed your orders to create and protect today's Three Realms."
"Wait...obey my orders?"
Lord's brows suddenly furrowed even deeper, and the whole thing suddenly became more complicated and confusing: "You mean, at the beginning, it was a spirit...I gave the order for you to cut me into a human stick and seal it." of?"
"yes."
The commander of the army, Ichibei, held his hands in front of his chest, his eyes widened, and he looked like an honest man: "If it weren't for your own wishes, how could it be possible for a person born in the land of chaos to be born in the land of chaos with only the power of me and the five nobles? How about the Creator who is here to create a wedge that maintains the three realms?"
Lord frowned deeply, the most terrifying thing happened.
The words of the leader of the Zero Squadron, Ichibei Ippei, completely deviated from the plot in the original work.
Originally the five great nobles and military masters, with the tacit approval of the Spirit King, they were cut into pieces and sealed in crystals to serve as the wedge for the existence of the three realms, allowing the world to officially enter the cycle of life and death from the static era of chaos. era.
But the military commander now told him that all this was the Spirit King's intention.
Which side's rhetoric is the real reason?
"What else did I tell you?" Lord was puzzled and could only press this question for the time being, and then asked if there was anything else: "Or what kind of existence is the Spirit King you know? "
After finishing speaking, in order not to make the military commander feel strange, Lord added another sentence and said: "I have not recovered all my strength yet, so there is some memory loss."
"Ok, I know."
Ichibei, the commander of the army, seemed to have expected it. He nodded calmly and said: "You only have your heart and nails now, as well as the knot, left and right arms, soul fragments, and fragments of strength that have not been collected. It is normal to lose memory. matter."
"Ah...well, yes, that's it."
Listening to others talking about the removed parts of the Soul King, Lord had a subtle feeling.
These things mentioned by the War Chief were actually the parts that the five nobles and he took out when they dismantled the Spirit King's body. They were later scattered throughout the Three Realms after their power was sealed to prevent the Spirit King in the crystal from being resurrected.
It can be seen from the various details revealed in the original work.
Even though the Soul King has lost all his power, he still has a strong influence. He has exerted subtle control over the long years and guided the overall development direction. Kurosaki Ichigo came to the Soul King Palace because of the Soul King's will.
The Soul King's nails are the raw material for making Bengyu.
The heart of the Spiritual King is the miracle of the holy writings that he just obtained.
The remaining parts, knots and soul fragments, refer to the art of product realization between the virtual and human beings in this world, using deeply loved objects as the source of power, manifesting themselves as souls that control matter, or changing their external form.
The Soul King's hands are in charge of 'advance' and 'stillness', and are the most feared power of the five nobles. They are scattered in the bodies of the Quincy Penida Pakaja and the God of Death Ukitake Jushiro.
The last ‘power fragment’ mentioned by the War Master is the omniscient and omnipotent eye of Yhwach.
"However, the Spirit King I know..."
Ichibei, the commander of the army, simply sat down on the ground, crossed his legs and tugged on his thick beard, and said with a sad face: "Actually, to be honest, I don't know very well. After all, when I see you again, I will It has become an 'empty shell'."
Lord's eyes moved slightly: "Empty shell?"
"Hahahaha, look at my memory, I actually forgot to mention it." Ichibei, the commander of the army, touched his head and laughed to cover up his embarrassment: "Actually, the thing we sealed in the crystal was just left by you. It’s just an empty shell.”
"If that's the case, then why bother to dismember the body?" Lord didn't understand this. Since it was an empty shell, why bother to go to great lengths to cut it into human sticks? He also sealed the disassembled parts and scattered them. Everywhere in the three realms.
The commander of the army, Ichibei, looked at him strangely, as if his eyes were saying, 'Are you kidding me?'
Lorde was expressionless and slowly raised his hand: "I hate the Riddler the most, so can you understand what I mean?"
Feeling the suddenly violent spiritual energy around him, the soldier's commander, Ichibei, broke into a cold sweat and waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, that's not necessary. Old man, I am old, and my muscles and bones cannot withstand the torment of the Soul King." .”
"Then say it quickly!" Lord said in a harsh tone.
"Hey, the reason is actually very simple. Lord Soul King just didn't react for a moment." Ichibei, the commander of the army, sighed, touched his thick beard, and said with two thick eyebrows twitching: "You should know How are the voids born? The hollow in their chests is their lost 'heart', a product of the fall of their souls."
"What does this have to do with me?" Lord was still confused.
"The God of Death can degenerate into a Hollow through special means. You must still remember this, right?" Ichibei, the leader of the army, went around and around, but never answered the question directly: "This situation can also be called a soul. The process of gradually losing [your heart].”
"so what?"
The veins on the corners of Lord's eyebrows popped out, and he resisted the desire to slap the monk to death.
"So...what if the Spirit King loses his heart?"
The commander of the army, Ichibei, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, slowly raised his head after speaking, with a rare stern look in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "An empty shell left by the Soul King is almost equal to the loss of [Heart], it can be said to be a natural, perfect... collection of resentment."
"you mean......"
Lord's pupils shrank slightly, he had never thought of this possibility.
"Ah, that's what it means."
Ichibei, the commander of the army, stretched out his thick fingers, tapped his heart, and said: "Besides, at the beginning of the birth of the world, in the era of chaos and stillness, the first things created by the Soul King were not humans and the God of Death. , but... virtual."
"Have you already done this?" Luo De raised his eyebrows.
This is a Hollow that was mentioned in the Gaiden, but due to the long time apart, he has almost forgotten the details. He only remembers that there is such a Hollow in the setting, and it was finally refined into a Zanpakutō. .
"That thing is just a defective product. What I mean is...the first Hollow born." Ichibei, the Chief of Arms, shook his head and continued: "That Hollow almost swallowed the whole world, although in the end He was stopped by the Spirit King, but he was forever integrated with the Spirit King."
"Our sealed spiritual king..."
"In fact, it is Him who has lost his monster appearance and resides in the body of the Spirit King."
