From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 453: Saito's immortal divine power reaches its peak - Hollowization!

In Hueco Mundo, Kuchiki Sojun looked at Kenpachi Kuyashiki who was standing beside him and said, "The heart is shaking. The spirit master has obviously noticed the situation here. What that guy said just now can also prove this. We just need to hold on for a while, and the support from Seireitei will arrive!"

"Understood." Kuriyashiki Kenpachi laughed and said, "Fortunately you brought Shinto with you, otherwise we would have been wiped out here, and I'm afraid Soul Society wouldn't even be able to detect the news."

"I'm really ashamed." Kuchiki Sojun said helplessly.

Although he said that they were going to be wiped out, Kenpachi Kuriyashiki was still very confident in himself. He pointed the Hungry Corridor in his hand at Saito Furusato in the sky and said, "Senior, I am still somewhat confident in my own strength. I believe you are aware of the current situation. It won't be long before the support from Seireitei will arrive. So if you don't run now, it will be difficult to run away later!"

"It may seem a bit unworthy of me to say this, but what I have to say is, as long as I want to leave, there should be no one in these three realms who can stop me!" Saito Bulaobusi said arrogantly.

"Then how were you caught back then?" Kenpachi Kuriyashiki delivered a fatal blow directly to Saito's vital points.

Saito Bulaobushi's face darkened, and he said angrily, "That's because I wanted to die in battle and had no intention of running away. Who knew that Yamamoto Genryusai, that bastard, would be so abominable in the end!"

Without continuing to argue with Kenpachi Kuriyashiki about this topic, Saito Furuobushi quickly adjusted his mood and said with a gloomy look in his eyes: "You are right, those bastards from Seireitei will be here soon, but it doesn't matter, as long as I kill you all before that!"

"It seems there is nothing to talk about." Kenpachi Kuriyashiki's expression sank. Before he could finish his words, his feet exploded and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, he appeared in front of Saito Banaue, raised his hand and slashed him down with a knife!

"You have the posture of a fierce general and your speed is quite impressive. You are really good!" Saito Bulaobushi did not dodge, but raised the Tiantian Sky Flash in his hand and accurately blocked the Hungry Corridor!

With a clang, the two Zanpakutō made a crisp sound of metal collision, and then two powerful spiritual pressures exploded in the air.

"Senior, despite his thin body, possesses such powerful strength. It really opens my eyes!" As Kenpachi Kuriyashiki praised, the spiritual pressure on his body began to rise continuously.

"It's too early to say that. From now on, it will be time to open your eyes." Saito Fulaubushi said with an evil and rampant smile on his face.

He did not continue to compete with Kenpachi Kuriyashiki, nor did he perform Bankai. He just killed all the Shinigami present.

It felt like I had been lonely for more than one hundred and sixty years. No, including the nearly five hundred years of imprisonment, it should be said that I had been lonely for nearly seven hundred years!
As if he wanted to show off his skills, Saito Fulaubutushi dodged in the air, creating some distance between him and Kuriyashiki Kenpachi in the air, then raised his hand and placed his five fingers on his forehead.

Without any pause, the five fingers slid downwards from her delicate face in the void, and then a mask that only Xu possessed quickly condensed and appeared on her face.

It was a skull mask, and Saito Bakuto's left eye, which was originally covered with an eyepatch, also showed a hole that only hollows have!
Watching this scene, Kenpachi Kuriyashiki looked doubtful and asked in a deep voice: "Hollow!? You are a Hollow now!?"

The terrifying spiritual pressure swept across the entire place, and for a moment, Kenpachi Kuriyashiki thought that it was the spiritual master who was in person!

At this moment, Saito Bakugou has surpassed the upper limit of ordinary death gods, and his spiritual pressure has received an extremely terrifying increase!

"I just like the panicked look on the faces of you young people who know nothing," Saito Fuuma said with a smile while wearing a hollow mask.

The moment she finished speaking, she disappeared from Kenpachi Kuriyashiki's sight.

Although her speed was very fast before, Kenpachi Kuriyashiki could still keep up with her to some extent. But now, his vision and spiritual pressure perception can no longer catch up with Saito's immortal speed.

The body's instinct reacted first, and Kenpachi Kuriyashiki raised his hand to block the Kakuro Corridor in front of him.

But in the next second, a shadow flashed past him, and then blood burst into the air. His tall body was crushed by a slash and suddenly fell from the air to the ground!
The moment a puff of smoke and dust rose, Kenpachi Kuriyashiki didn't care about his injuries and rolled over to avoid the explosion. As expected, a cross-shaped crack was instantly cut in the area where he fell!
At the same time, Kuchiki Sojun seemed to have just come to his senses, his face was extremely ugly, and he shouted loudly: "Saito Furuo! You have completely tarnished the honor of the Kuchiki family!!! You actually ignored the honor of the god of death and the prohibition of the Central Forty-Six Chambers and practiced the forbidden technique of hollowing!?"

"Ahahaha, it seems that the decadent Kuchiki family still has something. At least your knowledge is much better than that of the ordinary captains. Should I praise you and say 'you are worthy of being a great noble who has been passed down to this day'?" Saito Furusai laughed loudly in the air, and then said in a cold tone: "Finally, I warn you again, don't attribute such nonsense as the glory of the Kuchiki family to me, otherwise I will make you regret coming into this world!"

In most people's understanding, the Hollowization of the God of Death was created by Aizen Sosuke.

It seems that a new definition of things, a completely new transcendent existence, appeared after Aizen broke the boundary between the Shinigami and the Hollows with the Hogyoku.

But in fact, it is not.

What Aizen did was just to explore a completely new way and method based on Hollowification. In fact, long before Aizen studied Hollowification, Hollowified Shinigami had appeared many times in the million-year history of Soul Society.

Throughout such a long history, there have been people like Aizen who wanted to combine the power of the Shinigami and the Hollow.

(I am not making this up, this is true, the forbidden technique of hollowification really exists in Soul Society)
Hollowification can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Shinigami, and even allow the spiritual pressure to break through the conventional boundaries.

This so-called conventional boundary is not a boundary shared by all death gods, but is determined by individuals.

Reiatsu has been thoroughly researched over the past million years. In Soul Society, it is generally acknowledged that each person's Reiatsu has an innate upper limit, and the upper limit of Reiatsu varies depending on one's talent and ability.

There is a significant gap between the souls of the great nobles and those born in Rukongai. This is also a fundamental factor that has allowed the noble class to be passed down from ancient times to the present without being broken!
Apart from a small number of people with extraordinary talents, from a more macro perspective, the nobles are often much higher than ordinary people in terms of the limits of spiritual pressure!
The longer a bloodline has been passed down, the more compatible it is with Soul Society, and the higher the talents and upper limits of the souls born will be.

Kuchiki Sojun is a very obvious example. He is born weak and his physical fitness is not very good, but even so, his spiritual pressure is stronger than that of most healthy civilians!
He can still master the power of Bankai! What is broken by the hollowization is the spiritual pressure limit of oneself, not the spiritual pressure limit of a general concept of death god.

Just like this guy Dongxian Yao, he can be said to have developed the virtualization to the extreme. He can become completely virtual and completely lose the existence of the god of death.

But the spiritual pressure limit he broke was only his own. Even if he was completely hollowed out and combined the advantages of Shinigami and Hollow, in terms of the strength of spiritual pressure, he still could not be compared with a pure top-level Shinigami like Yamamoto Genryusai.

As for Aizen, he is a complete exception. He is a rare genius in Soul Society. The limit of his own spiritual pressure has almost reached the ceiling of the concept of the god of death. Therefore, his hollowization has truly broken the spiritual pressure strength between the god of death and the hollow, and reached a new dimension.

Among so many virtualized death gods, only he has stood in a completely new dimension, while the others are still far behind.

As for Bane, he is currently the only 'alien' in Soul Society. Since he is not a traditional Shinigami, he is an extremely special existence. His spiritual pressure has been growing over the years. And unlike most Shinigami, he is able to continuously improve his spiritual pressure by absorbing pure spiritual particles around him.

So far, his spiritual pressure is the best in Soul Society, and has never reached the so-called upper limit, as if the upper limit does not exist for him.

This is something that Aizen couldn't do either.

Precisely because Hollowification can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Shinigami, the Soul Society has conducted related research long ago, leaving traces in its millions of years of history.

However, although they are powerful, the danger of becoming a hollow is also extremely high. Among a hundred reapers who undergo the process of becoming a hollow, perhaps only one or two will be able to find themselves again and become stronger beings. The rest will lose their hearts in the process and become monsters that are even more terrifying than ordinary hollows.

This involves the essential difference between the God of Death and the Hollow.

The god of death is a 'complete' soul, while the void is an 'incomplete' soul.

If you want to gain the power of emptiness, you must go through the process of transformation towards emptiness, thereby losing yourself. After experiencing this process, you can defeat the emptiness in your body and find yourself again.

However, the vast majority of people were unable to find themselves, and ultimately, for this reason, the Central Forty-Sixth Chamber halted all research on the Void long ago, and at the same time, classified this knowledge as a forbidden technique, sealing it up and no longer allowing anyone to learn it.

Nowadays, almost no one in the Soul Society knows about this matter. Even Yamamoto Genryusai is not very clear about it.

Only the great nobles with a long history have this concept and know some of the secrets.

This is also the reason why Kuchiki Sojun was able to recognize this situation.

Saito Furuyo's spiritual pressure is very strong, second only to Bane and Yamamoto Genryusai. Under his previous normal circumstances, he was even stronger than ruthless people like Kuriyashiki Kenpachi.

Now, having entered the hollow masked state, the strength of his spiritual pressure has surpassed that of Yamamoto Genryusai!

Speed, strength, spiritual pressure, reaction, all aspects have been comprehensively enhanced.

After several clashes, Kenpachi Kuriyashiki was covered with wounds, but his momentum was still very strong, and he seemed to be getting braver with each battle. His already strong spiritual pressure also continued to rise at this moment. It was obvious that he was a battle maniac who could constantly surpass himself in this kind of fight!

But it was still difficult to save the situation. The First Release of the Hangul Corridor was not very useful. It was used to deal with groups of enemies. Facing Saito Immortal, whose speed was so fast that he could almost teleport through space, it was obviously useless even if he turned into thirty monsters.

And Bankai is even more uncomfortable. The reason why Kenpachi Kuriyashiki asked Kuchiki Sojun to take his men and run away in the beginning was to prevent them from falling behind. Only when they run far away can he exert all his strength without any worries.

But now, they are all trapped in a limited space by Saito Bakugan.

If Kenpachi Kuriyashiki used his Bankai at this time, he would indeed be able to break the current disadvantage, but the other Shinigami would have no chance of escaping!
This made Kenpachi Kuriyashiki helpless and he was no match for the hollowed-out Saito Immortal. He could only rely on his thick skin and toughness to hold out and delay time.

I hope support from Seireitei will arrive as soon as possible!

Kenpachi Kuriyashiki and Fulaubutushi Saito are fighting fiercely.

Kuchiki Sojun also gathered all the Shinigami who followed him around him, and then, despite the chaotic spiritual pressure, he stuck Xindu into the ground and said softly, "Please, Master Xindu!"

Although Bane cannot cross the boundary and reach Xindu directly due to Saito's immortality, the spiritual pressure strength between them is still shared.

After Kuchiki Sojun inserted the Heart Ferry into the ground, the Heart Ferry roared and turned into a huge blue dragon, circling up. With its mighty and domineering dragon body, it protected all the death gods. Then it released extremely strong spiritual pressure, forming a thick spiritual pressure barrier to defend this place!

After achieving this, Kuchiki Sojun breathed a sigh of relief. Kuchiki Byakuya, who was standing beside him, felt the powerful spiritual pressure barrier and couldn't help asking, "Father, with the spiritual pressure of the spirit master protecting you, why don't you let Captain Kuriyashiki, who is fighting hard, come in as well?"

"Captain Kuriyashiki has been delaying Saito's death outside, which has led to the current situation. If we defend for too long, we will lose. If no one holds her back, she will definitely be able to break through Lord Xindu's barrier." Kuchiki Sojun responded softly, and then added: "Besides, didn't you notice?"

"What did you find?" Kuchiki Byakuya asked in confusion.

"Although he has been at a disadvantage, and although every fight will aggravate his injuries, Kuriyashiki Kenpachi's expression is one of joy. He is enjoying this fight and is constantly surpassing himself. There are not many people in Soul Society and Hueco Mundo who can give him such a hearty battle. Even if I ask him to come down, he will definitely not be willing to do so." Kuchiki Sojun said with emotion.
