From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 533: Bane: With double pupils, I am already invincible, why do I need to borrow the bones of the Spirit King?

A wave of spiritual charm spread out from the seal.

The range is not large, it's like a greeting.

This change shocked Hikifune Kiryu so much that he immediately knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Greetings to the Spirit King!"

The fellow named Monk Eyes actually didn't have much respect for the Spirit King. After all, although he wasn't as noble as the Spirit King, he was also a special life that had survived from the ancient times to the present day, even though his title of 'Real Name Monk' was bestowed by the Spirit King.

But in fact, he didn't have much idea about who the Spirit King was. He just wanted to 'guard' the Spirit King.

In other words, to guard this stable world where the three realms cycle.

In fact, Bane was actually skeptical about the so-called "title bestowed by the Spirit King" on Eye Monk.

When the Spirit King was born, there were few real "lives" in the Three Realms. Probably only the ancestors of the five great nobles and a few guys like Hyoshubu Ichibei existed.

In this case, where is the concept of "monk"?
It is possible that time has passed too long and all history has been buried in the unrecordable past, and Hyoshubu Ichibei made it up for some reason, such as when he was competing for some interests with the five major nobles.

Of course, Bane was just suspicious and had no evidence worth investigating. It was not worth his while to investigate such matters.

Maybe the Spiritual King saw through the distant future and gave him a name from the future?

In short, Monk Yan was not blindly loyal and respectful to King Ling. Wang Yue of Ermeiwu and Tian Shilang of Qilin Temple might have also been influenced by him to some extent.

After all, if anyone has been guarding the Spirit King who is like a wedge for thousands or tens of thousands of years, even if they originally had enough respect in their hearts, it would be constantly eliminated.

As for Hikifune Kiryu, because she arrived late, at least at this moment, she still maintained enough respect for the Spirit King.

In particular, she discovered that the Soul King seemed to be 'alive'.

However, the Spirit King did not respond to her respect, as if he did not pay any attention to or care about her at all.

The pair of eyes, which had regained their brightness after who knows how many years, stared at Bane quietly.

Bane simply nodded slightly as a greeting and said nothing.

He believed that with the power of the Spirit King, even if he had been made into a wedge, if he wanted to change something, he would be able to do it. If he wanted to communicate with him, he would be able to communicate.

However, the two looked at each other for a long time and nothing happened.

There was no further interaction, and just when Hikifune Kiryu couldn't help but look up to see what was going on, the spiritual fluctuations emitted by the Spirit King gradually dissipated.

Only at this moment did his gaze change slightly, as if he was smiling at Bane with his eyes.

Then, the light in those eyes disappeared, as if everything that happened before had never happened. It was as if he had been just a wedge to stabilize the three realms from the beginning to the end.

"Ban?" Hikifune Kiryu felt the spiritual charm dissipate, and after hesitating for a moment, he called out softly.

Ben said softly, "The Spirit King has already left, no need to be polite."

Hikifune Kiryu finally breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "Although I have only met the Spirit King once before, I didn't expect that he still has his own consciousness?"

"He has always retained his own consciousness. It has been like this since ancient times." Bane nodded.

If he remembered correctly, although the Soul King was made into a wedge, in fact, his will has always been influencing the operation and progress of the world.

It seems that in the original story, Ichigo Kurosaki was able to finally get here and kill Yhwach, which was somewhat due to the guidance and will of the Soul King.

Thinking about it this way, why am I here now? Is there any related factor?

Perhaps, but Bane didn't mind.

Bane already understood the meaning of the Spirit King's brief 'awakening' just now.

The Soul King guided Ichigo Kurosaki here because he saw a sustainable future and his own liberation.

The Spirit King awakened at this moment, and in that brief silent eye contact, he should have seen a sustainable future and his own liberation.

Or maybe, the Spirit King had been waiting for this moment since he first stepped into this world.

Seeing that Bane was looking at the Soul King with a thoughtful look, as if he was thinking about something, Hikifune Kiryu stopped talking.

After a while, Bane seemed to have reached some conclusion and answer. He stopped thinking and wandered around the empty hall. He also stood in front of the seal of the Spirit King with great interest and observed it for a while.

"This seal is very powerful. Tsk, as expected, it is impossible for it to be left by the ancestors of the five nobles. It must be arranged by the Spirit King himself." After observing the seal, Bane pointed directly to the core.

Hearing this, Hikifune Kiryu asked curiously, "Why? How did you figure that out?"

"The internal structure of this barrier is very complicated. If one does not have enough power, one needs to gather all the 'sources' of power that the Soul King possesses to break it. Even Yhwach can't open this thing, so how can the ancestors of the five great nobles be able to do it?" Bane laughed and said jokingly.

The ancestors of the five great nobles could be considered so-called 'special lives', but in essence, they were vastly different from the Spirit Kings and were not at the same 'level' at all.

At most, they are the ancestors of the concept of "Death God", while the Soul King is the concept of "Creator".

At present, based on the current power vocabulary, the Soul King's barrier can only be broken by combining the powers of five types: Death Gods, Hollows, Quincies, Fullbringers, and Humans.

Or in other words, this is the key.

By combining these five forces into one, it would be possible to open the seal without any real strength.

If these five powers are not gathered together, not even Yhwach in his prime can break through, let alone the five great noble ancestors.

Although they are ancient, the power they wield is definitely not as strong as that of Yhwach in his prime.

Therefore, considering the will of the Soul King, it is obviously not a coincidence that Ichigo Kurosaki stood here in the original story. Because he is truly a combination of these five powers, the kind that is unique throughout the ages.

His father is a Shinigami, his mother is a Quincy, he has the power of a Hollow in his body. After losing the power of the Shinigami, he mastered the Fullbring, and he is a human being.

Let’s live together!
Indeed, Yhwach was unable to open the seal at all, and had to rely on Ichigo Kurosaki's power to kill the Soul King sealed inside.

From this we can see how big the gap is between Youhabach and the Soul King. Even if he walked in front of the Soul King, without this so-called "key", he couldn't hurt the Soul King at all.

As for why he could stab the Soul King directly in the original story, Bane felt that it was either a performance targeting Ichigo Kurosaki, or the Soul King did it voluntarily, but Yhwach himself did not realize it.

"Yhwach can't be defeated?" Hikifune Kiryu was surprised, then said in a somewhat happy tone: "Then even if he can really defeat the Eye Monk, it will be in vain in the end."

Having said this, Hikifune Kiryu suddenly paused, looked at Ben fiercely and said, "He can't open it, can you open it?"

"Who do you think I am?" Bane glanced at Hikifune Kiryu with disdain.

Although there was no answer, the meaning was clear.

"So you will help him open the seal?" Hikifune Kiryu asked hesitantly.

"Yeah, it's just a matter of convenience." Bane nodded calmly.

Hikifune Kiryu originally wanted to complain whether Bane was crazy for having to help Yhwach do such a thing, but then he remembered the look the Soul King gave Bane after he woke up, and it seemed that this was also the Soul King's will.

These two supreme beings of equal status have obviously reached a certain consensus.

And since it was the Soul King's will, as a member of Squad Zero, she had no right to say anything.

I can't understand it, I can't understand it at all.

After a while, Bane and Hikifune Kiryu walked to the window of the hall again, opened the window that had not been opened for many years, and looked outside.

The fierce battle in the distance is still going on. Shutara Senjumaru's Bankai has been deployed. I wonder which Quincies are covered by it?

The flames of Yamamoto Genryusai's mighty fire ravaged the Soul King Palace, and the masters of the Gotei 13 also joined in the battle.

Aizen seemed to have evolved into a new form. The previous pure white had begun to turn black, but it was different from the monster that Bane had in mind. No one knew what changes had taken place, but he was still fighting with the Miracle Titan transformed by Gerard Valkyrie.

However, except for a few powerful captains, the rest are basically in a state of being suppressed or even on the verge of defeat. Overall, the Quincy are still more powerful.

Of course, this is also because many Shinigami dare not activate their Bankai, for fear that not only would they fail to strengthen themselves, but they would also provide ammunition to the enemy.

"It's not good." Hikari Kiryu looked at the scene and said with a serious expression: "I have to go help."

"No, this situation will resolve itself soon." Bane said calmly.

"Why?" Hikifune Kiryu couldn't help but ask.

"In my opinion, the Eye Monk is no match for Yhwach, but if Yhwach wants to defeat him, he really needs to give it his all." Bane said calmly.

Before activating the Holy Separation and taking over the power of the Quincy, Yhwach would definitely not be able to defeat the Eye Monk.

If we could win, we wouldn’t be unable to get up to the fourth floor now.

And Yhwach is an extremely cold-blooded and ruthless guy. For the sake of victory, he will not care about the sacrifice of his subordinates. When it comes to sanctification, he will never show mercy.

Obviously, Hikifune Kiryu, who didn't know much about Yhwach, didn't understand what Bane meant. Just when she was confused, Bane's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Here it comes."

Before he finished speaking, the barrier of the Eye Monk on the third floor of the inner palace was forcibly shattered. The turbulent spiritual pressure generated by the fight between Yhwach and the Eye Monk instantly swept across the entire Soul King Palace, attracting the gazes and attention of many people.

Especially Yamamoto Genryusai, there was a flash of anger in the old man's eyes, as if he was meeting an enemy and was extremely jealous of each other. It seemed that he was about to use Bankai and burn the Soul King Palace to ashes.

And at this moment, Yhwach launched the Holy Separation!
Except for a very small number of Quincy, the rest of the Stern Cross Knights all changed their expressions. Even the Miracle Warrior who was fighting with Aizen stopped his actions.

The power of all the Quincies chosen by the Saints began to return to Yhwach's body, while they themselves were directly transformed into dry bones and died on the spot.

"What is this!?" Hikifune Kiryu exclaimed.

But no one explained anything to her. Bane was leaning against the window, watching with interest the Yhwach who was blown out and hovered on the side of the Ouchi, madly absorbing the power of the Quincy.

And the moment the Eye-Monk, Hyoshubu Ichibei, walked out of the shattered hole in the barrier, Yhwach moved!

Yhwach, who was just inside the barrier and was beaten violently by Hyoshubu Ichibei, seemed like a different person this time. He severely injured Hyoshubu Ichibei with one blow and sent him back to the third level of the Ouchi. Then, that guy took the steps of a king and arrogantly stepped back into the barrier space.

A moment later, although no one saw it, everyone noticed that the Eye Monk's spiritual pressure suddenly exploded, as if it was amplifying.

But it was only three or five breaths before the turbulent spiritual pressure quickly faded. In just a moment, the spiritual pressure of the monk with eyes disappeared as if it had never existed.

This undoubtedly also represents his defeat.

At the same time, the sound of Youhabach's footsteps was heard on the stairs to the fourth floor.

Bane and Hikifune Kiryu looked over there, and saw Yhwach ascending to the fourth floor of the inner chamber with great majesty. When Bane saw his face clearly, he couldn't help but smack his lips and said, "Having double pupils is already invincible, why would he need to borrow the bones of the Spirit King?"

At this moment, Yhwach has opened his eyes again and is omniscient and omnipotent!

And it was after sanctification that his eyes were opened at the peak state!
To be honest, in Yhwach's current situation, Bane, the boss, and the incompletely evolved Aizen are no match for him.

In the Three Realms, as long as he doesn't provoke Bane, no one can deal with him.

But somehow, he finally came before Bane and the Spirit King.
