"Oh? Is it Arrancar? Finally a decent enemy came.
Zaraki Kenpachi grinned excitedly, splitting the flying slash.
Then.
He suddenly frowned:
"That mask, aren't you Arrancar?"
in sight.
It was a man with short reddish-brown hair.
He wears a Void Mask that resembles an antelope skull, a deadly costume, a cloak with five skulls, fur on his shoulders, and a mask on his back.
This look.
This man, is Shinigami?
However, how could there be Shinigami in the Uro no Forest?
Zaraki Kenpachi put down the Zanpakutō that was on his shoulders, his eyes puzzled.
"Just stop here."
"Then, wherever you come from, go back from there."
"Follow the road you just came to, and you will be able to return to the ground."
The man with the mask said in a cold voice, very indifferently.
"If you say something like this, at least you have to take off your mask to be convincing!"
Zaraki Kenpachi leaned over and rushed over, and slashed over with a knife!
Bang!
Large sparks burst out in the dark environment!
then.
Zaraki Kenpachi was knocked back a few steps.
"This power?"
Looking at the distance he retreated, Zaraki Kenpachi's eyes were excited, and the whole person directly entered a state of high excitement!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Zanpakutō and Zanpakutō keep colliding!
In a large number of sparks brought up.
The two people almost turned into afterimages, constantly colliding with each other.
The incomparably sharp slash fell, but it missed nothing.
then.
There was a searing pain in Zaraki Kenpachi's back.
he.
was cut.
"It's really exciting!"
"Sa, come and try to hack me to death!"
Zaraki Kenpachi laughed wildly, threw the white feather coat on the ground, and rushed over at high speed.
This knife is coming to Ultimate!
The golden sword flew out of the knife in an instant, enough to cut off the earth and smash the mountains.
Rumble!
In the berserk impact, the golden sword pressure sprayed around like a laser cannon.
The land and deep forests within a few hundred meters were devastated as if they had been washed away.
"Are you irrational?"
Shinigami, who was wearing a mask, had a flat tone, directly shattered the golden sword pressure, and walked out.
"Huh? Sensible?"
Zaraki Kenpachi tilted his head, wondering:
"Such useless stuff. I've been out of my mind for as long as I can remember.
Live to fight, die to fight.
Such a thing as reason.
Zaraki Kenpachi simply doesn't need it.
Right now, he just wants to have a good time fighting this mysterious Shinigami in front of him.
Able to appear in the Forest of Menos Grande.
How do you look at this red-haired Shinigami with a mask? There is something wrong with it, right?
Since there is a problem.
Then hack him to death, Shinji and the old man can't say anything about him.
Ok, deal.
Zaraki Kenpachi grinned, smashed the ground directly and exerted strength with his arms, and swelled his arms high to exert strength, slashing down from the sky.
Shunpo?
Is that extra thing necessary?
As a wild animal born purely for fighting, Zaraki Kenpachi doesn't know what is called Shunpo and what is called Kidō.
Yes.
Zaraki Kenpachi, even the shortest number one Kidō cannot be used.
The strongest attack is the knife in your hand!
swish!
The golden slash from the slash collided with the masked Shinigami again, the slash that could sever the earth couldn't go any further!
That Shinigami is strong!
boom!
next second.
A spectacular scene happened.
The red-haired Shinigami with a mask faced the slash, and unexpectedly sent the slash swung by Zaraki Kenpachi flying.
The ground along the way was instantly cut into a huge bottomless crater by the golden slash, and then hit the surrounding bushes, disappearing from sight.
"It's not very good, it blocked my two slashes in a row."
Zaraki Kenpachi got even more excited, he licked his lips, then turned his head sharply.
clang!
A huge force came, making Zaraki Kenpachi stagger.
But he didn't take a step back, and directly slashed Zanpakutō with a smirk.
boom!
Collision again!
Zaraki Kenpachi's body began to bleed, and the capillaries on his arms exploded, creating a cloud of blood.
But to this.
He still ignored it.
swing the knife!
7]!
Swing the knife again!
Even if there are wounds all over the body.
Even if it is hit by the enemy.
Even with one blow, he would be killed.
It will never stop attacking.
Because, this is the greatest enjoyment!
Looking at Zanpakutō stabbing towards his chest, Zaraki Kenpachi let out a grin.
next second.
In the shocked gaze of the masked red-haired Shinigami.
A burst of photons suddenly converged and turned into a hand in front of his Zanpakutō.
With just one finger, he tapped the tip of his Zanpakutō, preventing him from moving any further.
Immediately afterwards.
More rays of light gathered and turned into a man's figure.
It was a tall, handsome man.
Next to his ears, he also wears the "star-leading pliers" specially used by the great nobles of the Kuchiki family.
This Shinigami blocking him belongs to Kuchiki's family!
"It's almost enough, everyone is Shinigami, it's too much for you to do something like this."
Shinji glanced at him, curled his fingertips slightly, and flicked out.
Immediately afterwards.
Under the shocked eyes of the red-haired Shinigami wearing a mask, he was directly bounced and hit the surrounding trees with a bang.
In a large number of collapsed trees, he disappeared directly from the field of vision.
"Why stop him?"
"I'm excited to fight."
Zaraki Kenpachi complained unhappily.
"In your current state, are you still fighting?"
"Continue, I guess I will collect your body."
Shinji gave him a sideways look, sarcastically.
The battle with Grimmjow had already left Zaraki Kenpachi with a lot of wounds.
Although these wounds have stopped bleeding, they will not recover so quickly.
A battle with this Shinigami.
Let all these wounds collapse.
Just look at Zaraki Kenpachi's soaring blood volume. If he doesn't stop the bleeding, he will go into shock soon.
and.
Zaraki Kenpachi's arm isn't looking good either.
Shinji noticed.
The capillaries in Zaraki Kenpachi's arm have been blown away from this high-intensity fight.
There is one thing to say.
Just to enjoy the battle, he unconsciously sealed his own power.
And enjoy it to the point of killing yourself.
Zaraki Kenpachi this neurotic.
It was the first time seeing Shinji.
There is something wrong with his mind designation.
How can a normal person do such a thing.
"who are you?"
At this moment.
The red-haired Shinigami with a mask jumped out from the ruins, he stared at Shinji solemnly, and his voice was slightly indifferent.
This man is very strong!
It's unbelievable that he can block his slashing attack with just his fingers.
after that.
It just flicked his finger once, and he was sent flying.
To know.
He just caught the two slashes from the bad-minded person over there head-on, and he didn't even take a step back!
(Zaraki Kenpachi:???)
And that clothes.
Are these two Shinigami captains of Gotei 13 now?
Red-haired Shinigami with a mask, watching Shinji and Zaraki Kenpachi's white captain's haori coat.
Should be right.
It is a felony for any Shinigami other than the captain to wear the captain's white haori coat.
This is the status symbol of the captain.
No Shinigami would dare to show off in their clothes.
"As you can see, I'm Kuchiki Shinji, the current 10th division captain of Soul Society Gotei 13."
"The brain here doesn't look very good. It's Zaraki Kenpachi, captain of the 11th squad."
Shinji pointed at Zaraki Kenpachi with a relaxed smile on his face.
If nothing else, Kamishun knew who this masked Shinigami was.
Zaraki Kenpachi: "???"
Zaraki Kenpachi activates Death Gaze and issues a duel request to Kuchiki Shinji.
"Kuchiki Shinji, captain of the tenth division, and Zaraki Kenpachi, the captain of the eleventh division."
The masked red-haired Shinigami murmured.
"So."
"Shouldn't you also explain your own background?"
"I'm very interested in the fact that there are Shinigami in the forest of Menos Grande."
Shinji sat cross-legged on the ground, then tore Zaraki Kenpachi's white coat and threw it over.
see.
Zaraki Kenpachi yelled, reached out to catch it, and began to wrap around the wound on his body.
He was already dizzy from the massive blood loss.
No more bleeding.
It's not a question of whether to fight or not, but Zaraki Kenpachi is about to go into a coma from shock.
After a long silence.
The red-haired Shinigami slowly took off his mask, revealing a slightly indifferent face.
The most amazing thing is that his eyebrows are almost straight.
"My name is Asido, and I used to be part of the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force.
"For some reason, I accidentally entered the forest of Menos Grande."
Asido also sat cross-legged across from Shinji, and said slowly.
"Is that so, Asido?"
Shinji let out a breath.
"You know him?"
Zaraki Kenpachi raised his eyebrows, pointed at Asido and asked.
This is a good opponent.
"Just heard about it."
In Asido's slightly surprised gaze, Shinji stared at him:
"If my guess is correct, you are probably the Asido who led a certain Hueco Mundo expeditionary army hundreds of years ago?"
"According to intelligence."
"That Asido was very good friends with the captain of the eleventh team at the time, Seventh Generation Kenpachi Keiyashiki.
"After a certain battle with Menos Grande."
"Asido learned that Keiyashiki obtained some information about Hueco Mundo, and knew that a Menos Grande named "Baraggan" is a high-level existence of Hueco Mundo."
"then."
"He assembled a lot of Shinigami elites and reorganized them into Hueco Mundo as the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force.
"After that, there was no news."
"According to the records, all members of the Hueco Mundo expeditionary force died in battle!"
"Now it seems."
"It turns out that you are still alive."
Hear Shinji's words.
After a few seconds of silence, Asido said slowly:
"You are right, there is nothing wrong with the Soul Society's records.
"The Hueco Mundo expeditionary force that time was all killed.
"I'm just a wandering dead soul."
Shinji knowingly asks:
"Why don't you try to leave."
this time.
Axi didn't speak for a long time.
It's been about a minute or two.
He stood up:
"follow me.
finished.
Without looking back, he walked into the depths of the Menos Grande Forest.
see.
Shinji and Zaraki Kenpachi followed.
The speed of the three is extremely fast.
Walked for about ten minutes.
Came to a flat terrain.
There, there are tombstones everywhere.
It seems that this is where the Hueco Mundo expeditionary force was buried.
Shinji takes a look.
It was discovered that the name of one of the tombstones turned out to be Asido.
"That's for myself."
Asido noticed that Shinji had seen it, sitting cross-legged in front of these tombstones:
"I accidentally fell into the forest of Menos Grande because I pursued Menos Grande too deeply.
"And my companions rushed in with me in order to save me."
"Later, we tried to find a way out of the Forest of Menos Grande."
"But.
As time goes by, companions continue to die, and the number is getting smaller and smaller, but we have not been able to find the exit. "
"At the end, I'm the last person left."
"No."
"To be precise."
"The Hueco Mundo expeditionary force of that year has all died in battle."
"Over the years, I have investigated the exit from the Forest of Menos Grande."
"However, in order to protect the soul of mankind, and in order to keep the agreement with my companions who have fought here, I have been fighting to this day."
"Until the day I can't move, I will also lie in the grave that belongs to me."
Touching the tombstone in front of him, Asido said indifferently.
The reason why he knew the way to leave the lair of Menos Grande but stayed here is because of Shinigami's responsibility.
Nine out of ten of the emptiness in the present world come from here. As long as the emptiness here is reduced, the harm to the present world will be reduced accordingly.
Think about it.
Asido looked at Shinji and asked:
"If possible, can you tell me whether the number of voids that appear in this world has decreased."
"Speaking like this is not to show off my achievements in the forest of Menos Grande."
"Rather."
I simply want to make sure whether the emptiness in this world has decreased, and to give my dead companion an explanation. "
"That's all."
This, is the life of a Shinigami named Asido.
finished.
He waited silently for Shinji's answer.
There seemed to be a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.
But.
Shinji remained silent.
"Yeah, I get it.
The anticipation in Axido's eyes disappeared, turning back into a pool of stagnant water:
"It seems that my personal power is limited."
"Even if I stayed here for hundreds of years, I kept fighting Menos Grande every day."
"It is still impossible to curb the number of Menos Grande, so as to protect the present world and complete the agreement with the companions."
"Looking at it this way, I am indeed a useless guy."
Asido stood up and walked towards the distance.
His finger points in one direction:
"The two captains of the Soul Society."
"Follow this direction and don't look back, you can leave the forest of Menos Grande."
"So."
"We'll never see each other again."
at this time.
Shinji suddenly shouted:
"Asido!"
"You can't get spiritual salvation if you stay in the past!"
Seeing him stop.
Shinji looked deeply, and took a long breath:
"Your companion, seeing you like this, I'm afraid (be well) that I won't forgive you?"
"Since it is to fulfill the agreement with my companions, since it is to protect the world, and since it is to give them an explanation."
"So."
"Why stay in the past?"
"The direction of the heart is all the past!"
"A part of you has been left in the past forever, that's enough!"
Hear Shinji's words.
Asido's body shook violently.
Is the past... part of him... forever in the past?
So.
Where is he now?
"Our end is death, so it's better to be bold."
"It's enough for you in the past to stay here."
"And now you should do something more meaningful."
"for example.
"Use your own strength to guard the present world, instead of spending your days here in a daze, waiting for the arrival of death."
Shinji watched his back and said slowly.
"Is there something more meaningful..."
Asido turned around and met Shinji's eyes:
"You are strong."
"It's not just about physical strength."
"Your mind is just as strong.
There are always such a group of people in the world who turn themselves into a light that illuminates others.
But for Asido at this moment.
this moment.
Kuchiki Shinji became that light, illuminating the path in front of him and awakening him.
yes.
Compared to living in this unexamined life, waiting for death to come.
He still has more ways to obtain salvation and give an explanation to his companions.
"I promise you."
"I will return to the Soul Society with you."
"It's just that maybe my identity will trouble you."
"Captain of the 10th division, Kuchiki is amazing."
Asido chuckled, and his dim eyes gradually regained their luster.
"ha???"
Shinji scratched his head with a dazed look:
"Actually... I just want to ask you a few questions, father."
Asido: "..."
