Chapter 1038 The True Method of Identifying Death
Is the fishman Aaron really dead?
Faced with Zoro's question, Shisui didn't dare to make any guarantees. Through observation with the Mangekyō Sharingan, he could see that the man with the head split open on the ground was indeed dead and could not die anymore.
It has lost the energy conduction required for life and has become a completely dead object. It will then be occupied and corrupted by other tiny creatures, becoming part of the nearby soil and nourishing the surrounding earth.
"Tonight, it's not just lively here, there's also quite a bit of activity over at the Heavenly Church," the crow looked in the direction of the church. A large fire had appeared near the church, beginning to attract the attention of residents in the distance.
Zoro was a little too careless today and didn't take real action right away, otherwise he wouldn't have suffered some minor injuries.
If you want these wounds on your body to heal quickly, you need to find a place to bandage them as soon as possible. However, Zoro is a ruthless man who can get up and fight again even with dozens of broken bones. The first three members of the Straw Hat Pirates are all very healthy.
The damage caused by the invisible hand was nothing to him, but where did Aaron, the murloc who hadn't been seen for a long time, get this ability?
Those hundreds of invisible black hands have little to do with the ability of the devil fruit. Could it be a superhuman fruit related to hands?
Compared to Robin's Flower-Flower-Nomi, the hands grown from flower petals are more violent and less noticeable. If the invisible hand is broken, the damage will not be fed back to the main body.
Even the fast-stretching attack method, Arlong should have copied Straw Hat Luffy. He was traumatized and copied it exactly from the enemy who defeated him.
There was no conclusion between the man and the bird. The silvery moonlight struggled to tear open a corner of the darkness. A female Grim Reaper dressed in black (Death God costume) landed slowly and lightly beside Zoro against the backdrop of the hazy moonlight.
Her black robe fluttered gently in the wind, like mysterious wings extending from the night sky. Her delicate face glowed coldly in the moonlight, and her eyes were like deep pools in the cold night.
She exudes a coldness that keeps people at a distance, yet has an irresistible charm. Under the high nose bridge, the slightly upturned thin lips seem to carry an air of pride that seems to see through everything.
"The one you killed was not his real body. The soul that went to the Styx does not match his real body."
Kuina's appearance near Zoro at this time proves that she has been observing the battle on the spot, and she is still not very confident about her childhood sweetheart.
If Zoro is always in a disadvantageous situation in the battle with the Invisible Hand and cannot overcome the survival crisis, then the Female Death will have no choice but to lend a hand.
"This must be the famous God of Death, hello, I'm Shisui, it's not often that you get to meet the God of Death."
The crows controlled by Shisui are full of respect for Kuina, the black-clad god of death who rules the underworld and will not easily interfere with the human world.
But once a living being dies, most of them will enter the underworld and obey the management of the god of death. The power held by the god of death is much greater than what Kuina said last time.
Zoro felt a little ashamed as he had really forgotten the memory of their last meeting. Fortunately, Shisui used his Mangekyō Sharingan to create an illusion.
The simulated night with Kuina in the illusion can be regarded as a temporary restoration of the lost memory. Zoro cannot guarantee whether the memory can be preserved after tonight.
Kuina did not dwell on the matter of losing her memory, and explained to the two men what she had just said, why she said that the cultist killed by Zoro was not the true identity of the fishman Arlong.
The god of death is given a special power by the will of the underworld. After a living being dies, the god of death can see the process of the soul leaving the body and entering the River Styx.
The naked eye (including the three legendary eye techniques) cannot see through the process of the undead entering the Styx. Only the god of death can do this.
From the observation just now, the soul that flew out of Aaron's body is not the same person as Aaron's physical body, and is not even of the same race.
Even if Aaron accepted the power of the Evil God Cult, his underlying structure did not change, and he was still a member of the sea clan.
However, the soul that came out of this corpse was not from the sea clan but from a human. Changing the structure of the underlying soul is a taboo in the underworld.
Even the God of Death cannot do it. The low-key Evil God Cult definitely does not have such power, unless there are Gods of Death who are about to turn into nothingness in the Evil God Cult.
However, the probability is very low and Guina can be ignored. The best guess is that this body is actually a puppet, a clone remotely controlled by the fishman Aaron.
"His true body should not be far away, and it should not be outside the Kingdom of Lulucia. As long as we are careful, we will be able to find him sooner or later." Guina could already guess what was going on.
Those who dare to connect the passage to hell without permission are the lunatics who are against all living things. They are in urgent need of the power of the void. Other forces do not have the motivation to do so.
Only the evil cult hiding in the dark wants to mess up this world and achieve its ulterior motives. For the time being, the God of Death does not know what is behind the conspiracy.
"Shall we go near the church to see how lively the Heaven Church is?"
Ever since Shisui entered the Heaven Church, he always felt inexplicably irritated. Father Pucci might not be a very evil person, and it is unknown what kind of believer he is in private.
It feels like Father Pucci has always been wearing an invisible mask. Shisui doesn't like this kind of acting, and thinks that such people are too fake and not worth in-depth communication with.
"Tomorrow night should be the deadline. Zoro, you have to help me do this well. It is related to my status in the underworld." Guina knew those old antiques in the underworld.
Because they live long enough, they gradually control the upper level. The superior-subordinate relationship among the gods of death is sometimes so oppressive that the lower gods of death can feel suffocated. The overall feudal level of the underworld is unimaginable.
The feudal order has never been broken, resulting in the souls and gods of death entering the underworld being subject to the discipline of feudal ethics.
Although Gui Na joined a big family, the advantages and disadvantages were equally obvious. The Xiu Mu family could provide Gui Na with a large amount of spiritual resources, allowing her to quickly improve her strength in the Heart of Death.
The downside is that Kuina has no right to refuse the arrangements and tasks of the Kuchiki family, and if she goes against the will of the family elders, the spirit will be whipped.
Fortunately, the combination of the god of death and the god of death cannot produce children. After all, they are essentially spirits, and two spirits cannot produce a baby spirit. This goes against the underlying rules of the underworld.
Only where life can be born can new souls be nurtured. No matter how powerful and feudal the god of death is, he will eventually return to dust. The will of the underworld is as great as the sky.
Therefore, the gods of death in the underworld do not have marriage alliances. The big families will find good candidates to be the gods of death and train them on a large scale, in the hope of ultimately keeping the family together.
The Kuchiki family has set up many industries in the underworld. If they want to protect these industries for a long time, they need to naturalize powerful descendants, and only generation after generation of death gods can preserve the foundation.
Once you are stepped on by other families, it is not easy to turn things around. The Xiumu family has experienced prosperity and decline, and only the parties involved can remember the feeling.
Perhaps Kuina's brother, Byakuya Kuchiki, understands what the declining Kuchiki family will eventually become.
