Chapter 151 I'm dying

Chapter 152 Name
"I am your weak side."
The moment he heard these words, Gu Shi attacked without any hesitation. At the same moment when the other party's voice fell completely, a compressed blood-red flash had already illuminated the empty spiritual world. The glass doll turned into ashes, and several stone pillars not far away were also affected and broke.
The tin puppet flying in the sky opened its mouth and quietly flew away. He had known for a long time that Gu Shi was a black-hearted person, but he didn't expect him to be so black-hearted.
You have to know that whether it is him, the wooden doll, or the glass doll, their faces are 90% similar to Gu Shi's original appearance, and the glass doll was just speaking for Gu Shi, but Gu Shi could still kill him so decisively.
The bloody red flash lasted for ten seconds before it finally died down. Gu Shi frowned and smacked his lips. He didn't expect that even after using the virtual flash in the spiritual space, he would still feel dry mouth.
However, can the virtual side of Daxu be solved so easily?
Just as Gu Shi was thinking this, a small hole appeared in the air again, and another glass doll crawled out, its body still covered with cracks, and its expression still calm and indifferent.
"It's useless. Instincts won't be killed so easily. If you can get the doll that Urahara Kisuke developed to awaken his Bankai, and materialize me in the real world before killing me, you might be able to weaken me to a certain extent."
The glass doll mentioned the Bankai doll. After a little thought, Gu Shi remembered that in the plot, in order to help Ichigo Kurosaki awaken his Zanpakutō, Urahara Kisuke did use such an outrageous prop, which directly pulled the Zanpakutō from the spiritual world into the real world.
But...why would the glass puppet provide a way to weaken itself?
As Gu Shixu's side, the glass doll knew him no less well than his Zanpakuto. It saw through his confusion at a glance and calmly explained.
"The reason why the hollow instinct is so hard to resist is that it will magnify the desires that already exist in the heart. Under its influence, the arrogant will become more arrogant, and the greedy will become more greedy. Your greatest desire is unrestricted freedom. As your hollow side, I desire freedom more than you do, but I can only live in your spiritual world, without even a moment of freedom.
"If I can escape from this cage for a moment at the cost of being annihilated by you, I am willing to bear this price."
"I see."
Gu Shi nodded, as if he understood what the glass doll said. The next moment, a blood-red flash spurted out again, turning the glass doll into ashes.
After a moment, the glass doll reappeared, still without any shame, anger or expression on its face.
"If you still need to try, I can cooperate with your actions."
"No, no need. It seems that the destruction in the spiritual world really cannot weaken you."
Gu Shi shook his head and rejected the glass puppet's proposal. After destroying the glass puppet twice, he secretly counted the time in his mind. Unfortunately, the time of the two returns was exactly the same. The glass puppet's return did not slow down because of being destroyed.
Since the problem could not be solved for the time being, Gu Shi did not intend to waste time on it. His attention shifted back to his Zanpakutō. He looked at the wooden doll in his palm and shook it by the collar.
"Little one, what's your name?"
From the very beginning, the wooden puppet seemed to have a good impression of Gu Shi. When Gu Shi asked, he smiled and said his name. Unfortunately, his voice fell into Gu Shi's ears, as if it was covered by some noise and could not be heard at all.
The tin puppet flying nearby couldn't help but sneer in disdain.
"Your brain really doesn't work well. You want to know the name of your Zanpakuto so easily. Do you have the same idea as the wooden head? Or do you understand me? You want to know the name of your Zanpakuto when you have nothing. You have a nice idea!"
Gu Shi was not actually that surprised by this result. Knowing the name of Zanpakutō meant that he had mastered Shikai, but this was by no means easy. Although there were quite a few Shinigami in Seireitei, some of them might have graduated for decades or even hundreds of years and were still unable to master Shikai and could only use their Zanpakutō as ordinary samurai swords.
So, it's not surprising that I didn't hear the name of my Zanpakutō the first time I asked.
Thinking of this, Gu Shi shot out a flash of light from his fingertips, hitting the tin doll's head accurately, piercing through the annoying mouth.
After attacking subconsciously, Gu Shi realized that something was wrong. It was okay for him to attack his hollow side before, after all, it was something harmful to him, but the Zanpakuto should be considered his own, so why did he subconsciously kill it just because of a few foul words?
Could it be that in the spiritual world, emotions become more “straightforward”?
The wooden puppet patted his paws with some concern and gave advice in a soft voice.
"Go back today, Gu Shi. We are your Zanpakuto. You will definitely know our names. There is no need to rush. After Tietou recovers, I will find a way to persuade him to cooperate with you."
Gu Shi narrowed his eyes and did not leave immediately as advised. Instead, he began to silently recall the things that made him feel painful.
Sure enough, those things that had passed for a long time and no longer hurt my heart, suddenly became painful when I recalled them in my heart. The long-lost feeling of my heart being torn apart came back again.
At the same time, the spiritual world quickly became dim, dark clouds with no visible boundaries covered the sky, thunders like a forest descended, the stone pillars in the field of vision collapsed, and then hundreds of meters long swords rose from the ground. One of the long swords "happened" to pierce the stone pillar under Gu Shi's feet, splitting his body in two.
Gu Shi’s eyes went dark, and when he opened them again, he had returned to the Hueco Mundo.
Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief only after he subconsciously touched his body and made sure that he was not really split in half.
However, when Kurosaki Ichigo's negative emotions increased, his spiritual world was just flooded with water and rain, but how come my spiritual world turned into a mountain of swords and hell? Isn't it a bit unfair?
Gu Shi was speechless. In his spiritual world, several little puppets were not feeling well either. They were dodging the falling lightning from the sky while arguing loudly.
The wooden puppet complained that the tin puppet was too willful. If they had told Gu Shi his name earlier, they would have been able to see the outside world more clearly.
The tin puppet cursed the wooden puppet for being brainless. It was obvious that Gu Shi didn't trust them and that was why he couldn't hear their voices. Even if they called out their names, it would be useless. Why should they blame him for being willful?
The two quarreled for a few words, and the glass doll seemed to be annoyed by their quarrel. It suddenly put on a bone mask on its face, rushed up without saying a word and beat up the two guys.
After a while, as Gu Shi adjusted his mood and became optimistic and happy again, the thunderstorm in his spiritual world finally stopped. The puppets no longer had the energy to quarrel and lay breathlessly in the air, staring in a daze at the world that was so vast that it made them feel uneasy.
Being a resident of Gu Shi’s spiritual world is not a pleasant experience at all. This world is really too empty.
Chapter 153: Spiritual King?
After exiting the spiritual world in a not-so-pleasant way, Gu Shi quickly adjusted his mood and took out the shallow punch from the empty hole with a subtle expression.
The tin doll is afraid of the glass doll, and the wooden doll and the tin doll have conflicts with each other. These behaviors clearly tell him that these little guys were probably not born today, and they have probably lived together in his spiritual world for a period of time a long time ago.
In other words, this shallow sword actually only serves as a key to open the door to the spiritual world?
But the question is, why does he, a Hollow, already have the Zanpakutō of the God of Death in his heart? It can't be because he has devoured several Arrancar's Zanpakutō, right? Although both are called Zanpakutō, they are not in the same system at all.
Or is it because he has swallowed the Lock of Karma?
This doesn't seem to make sense.
Gu Shi knew before that his Void Cave was not normal, but he did not expect to find something new abnormal in himself today.
The abnormality of the virtual hole can also be explained as Gu Shi’s special ability as a virtual being.
Just like Ulquiorra can take off his eyeballs and play the scenes he remembered in the form of a projection;
As long as Yami has enough spirit particles, his body size can increase infinitely;
Aroniello can transform into the living being he devoured, and can even recreate the Zanpakutō of the god of death.
As a virtual being, it makes sense that he has some strange abilities.
But Hollow, who is the opposite of the God of Death, already had a Zanpakuto in his spiritual world before he came into contact with Asaoka. This is a bit outrageous. It is like a perfect pregnancy for six months. Gu Shi doesn't know whether he should thank God for the gift or suspect that someone did something to his body while he was sleeping.
[Hiss, although being a time traveler means being abnormal, isn’t the abnormality in me a little too abnormal?]
Unconsciously, Gu Shi looked up at the sky, his eyes full of doubt.
Just like traveling back to Honkai Impact 3, once something bad happens, people will suspect that Otto is the culprit; similarly, when traveling back to the primitive times, if something is slightly wrong, people will suspect that God has secretly arranged it; similarly, when traveling back to the world of Bleach, Aizen has not grown up yet, so the first person Gu Shi suspects is naturally the Soul King.
Although according to the setting, the Soul King had long been made neither alive nor dead by the ancestors of the five great nobles, and his body had been torn into pieces.
However, when he reached the omnipotent realm of the Spirit King, it was said that the five great nobles could seal him and make him lose all his power...
Anyone who believes it is a fool!
What god would be so low as to lose the ability to resist just because his body was dismantled? Is it difficult for a being of this level to mold a body?
The Spirit King is competing with God. It’s okay for me to be the God of the world of death, but my son Jesus can be resurrected from the dead. Yet you tell me that God has been sealed by mortals and has lost the ability to resist because of his defective body. Do you think I will believe it?
Anyway, in Gu Shi's opinion, rather than saying that the Soul King saw the future, chose to sacrifice himself for some unspeakable justice, and voluntarily was sealed by the ancestors of the five nobles, it is better to say that after the Soul King completed his mission of restarting the cycle of the world, he was too lazy to play with fragile little bugs such as humans and the god of death, and was worrying about what reason to abdicate when the five nobles bumped into him.
The steps of the five noble families were all at their feet. The Spirit King, who was just about to run away, simply abandoned a useless body and cooperated with the ancestors of the five noble families in playing the so-called betrayal game. The Spirit King's real spiritual consciousness probably ran away to some corner of the world to sleep, or to play games in the world.
After all, judging from the final development of the Bleach plot, after Yhwach swallowed the power of the Soul King, his corpse could replace the Soul King to maintain the stability of the Three Realms. It can be seen that what the Three Realms need is only the power of the Soul King, not his spirit.
Under this premise, unless the Soul King's brain was kicked by a donkey, he would not be willing to leave his spiritual consciousness in the Soul King Palace to be imprisoned unless it was unnecessary.
[So, could it be that the spirit king discovered the time traveler and thought this thing was quite rare, having only been seen a few times in thousands of years, so he secretly fiddled with it and added something to me? ]
Gu Shi was very sure that when he traveled through time, no immortal grandfather appeared and said he would give him a few golden fingers as a blessing. As for all the peculiarities in his body, apart from the faint possibility that he was special enough, the most likely suspect was indeed the true god king of this world.
After thinking for a while, Gu Shi gently waved to the sky and muttered quietly in his heart.
"Would you please consider giving me another portion of Quincy's power?"
……
After waiting quietly for a few seconds, no new strength appeared in his body. Gu Shi shook his head helplessly, but he didn't think he was daydreaming.
After all, the upper limit of the world of Bleach is there. Apart from the Soul King and the Hogyoku, he doesn't think there is anything else that can allow a Hollow to possess the Zanpakutō of a Bleach for no reason, especially without any contact with the shallow attack.
From Tianpeng's perspective, after Gu Shi put Qianda into the empty hole, he became dazed. When he came to his senses, he started touching himself. After touching himself, he began to ponder again. After thinking for a while, he waved at the empty sky as if he was saying hello to someone.
After this series of small moves, it is really hard not to worry about Gu Shi’s mental state.
"Zhenjun, are you okay? Do you want to rest for a while?"
Gu Shi came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head to indicate that he was fine, his eyes fell on the shallow sword in Yutu's hand.
"Gyokuto, have you shown any signs of awakening your Zanpakutō in the past three years?"
Logically speaking, the Arrancar has broken the boundary between Hollows and Shinigami, and his power already has the characteristics of Shinigami. In order to lurk in Soul Society, Gyokuto's Zanpakutō has been swallowed by him with the Hollow. Now he is in a state of "having the power of a Shinigami but no Zanpakutō". Theoretically speaking, he fully meets the prerequisites for awakening his Zanpakutō.
Unfortunately, under Gu Shi's expectant gaze, Yutu shook her head with certainty.
"No, I can vaguely sense the force of the shallow hit, but I have never been able to form an effective communication with it."
Gu Shi narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly, then pointed at Yutu's chest.
"Try putting the shallow strike into the hollow?"
The location of Jade Rabbit's Void Hole is relatively traditional, right in the middle of the chest. At this moment, it is tightly blocked by the net woven by the chains of cause and effect. Gu Shi wants to see if the Hollow puts Asado into the Void Hole, will he enter the spiritual world like himself.
Yutu still trusts Gu Shi as much as before, but it has to be said that the environment really changes people's habits and personality.
Before going to Soul Society, Jade Rabbit, who was not a human in her lifetime, had no idea of the difference between men and women. Although she became a human after breaking her mask, she felt from the bottom of her heart that it was unnecessary to wear clothes.
But after living in Soul Society for three years, when Gu Shi pointed at her chest, she actually blushed, quickly turned her back, and then shyly asked Tianpeng to help her tear apart the web of cause and effect.
On the contrary, Gu Shi, who was a human in his previous life, had lived in a place like Hueco Mundo for so long that he had long forgotten the so-called difference between men and women. When he saw Jade Rabbit blushing, he realized that his previous behavior was indeed inappropriate for a woman, and he could only laugh awkwardly.
