I'm really not the number one slacker in Soul Society.

He floated in front of the thing's head and bowed down to it.

It is the Spirit King.

"Even though you meant no harm."

The Spirit King casually drew back the bowstring, "But I cannot let you devour this world."

..........................................

"what happened……"

Mizhen suddenly snapped out of her daze.

The deep-seated fear still lingered in his mind, but it was as if nothing had happened just now. He was still besieging Dark Azure Guard with Old Man Mountain and the others, and the monster and the Spirit King seemed like fleeting illusions.

The bizarre experience even made him stop sending spiritual pressure to Ryugetsu, and the continuous explosions inside Anzang Mitsu's body also paused for a moment.

An Cangyu seemed to have finally broken free from the interference of the potion, so he immediately increased the pressure on his hands and whispered a phrase.

"Crescent Moon Sky Rush".

A massive burst of red light, as intense as a flood, erupted from the divine sword.

Unohana, who was locked in a struggle with Ansou Mitsu, was the first to be knocked away, followed by the old man from the mountain who was about to strike again. Finally, the red light spread to Ansou Mitsu's back, blasting Mima away as well.

Such a large-scale attack obviously came at a cost, and Dark Azure Mage's spiritual pressure immediately weakened.

But he didn't care about any of that; instead, he stared intently at Mima.

"……I see."

He raised a finger and, after a very short period of charging, fired another pale white flash.

"Tsk..."

Ordinary Kido techniques cannot withstand this attack, so Mima can only retaliate with a Cero.

But this seemed to be exactly what the Dark Azure Mage wanted, seeing himself and Mima's Hollow Flash intertwined.

A cold smile curved his lips.

"Now that you've seen it, take a look at it more."

"Varied……"

Mima felt that inexplicable dizziness again.

"what happened?!"

Before she could shake off the dizziness, a scene abruptly entered Mizhen's field of vision.

This time, Mima finally understood!

For some reason, the spiritual pressure of the Dark Azure Mage resonated with his own.

To describe it, it's like a Bluetooth connection—and the scene before him seems to be something that Dark Azure Mage once witnessed, which is his memory.

But how could an experimental subject created by the Tsunayo family see such a thing?

The first thing that catches the eye is a beam of light that resembles the stars in the night sky.

The Spirit King's fingers rested on the bowstring, and a jet-black arrow, adorned with countless tiny lights, was born from nothingness.

Then, as the bowstring is pulled, it shoots straight out.

The Soul King possesses the power of "annihilation" and is the true progenitor of the Quincy, so it's quite normal that he would use the Sacred Arrow...

What a ghost!

This thing can be called the Holy Annihilation Arrow?!

Chapter 136: Inheritance

To Mi Zhen's astonishment, the star-like arrow of light grew wildly larger after it was fired, increasing from a few tens of centimeters to... To be honest, he found it hard to measure that size, but he figured it must be tens of thousands of kilometers long.

With just this one arrow, it would be no problem to pluck the moon from the sky like a candied hawthorn.

Having traversed a considerable distance for Mizhen, the "Holy Annihilation Arrow" flew directly to the center of the magnificent humanoid figure's brow.

Goodbye, the original 'nothingness'.

The Spirit King watched this scene indifferently and said calmly, "You will continue to exist in another form."

In Mi Zhen's opinion, the Bleach series is still somewhat lacking in combat power compared to other works of the same genre. After all, this is a world where fashion reigns supreme, and they don't pay much attention to creating pitfalls.

But after seeing this scene, all he could say was sorry, I was wrong, I knew nothing about this world.

Logically speaking, Mizhen is now considered one of the top experts in the Three Realms, but the sheer visual impact of that magnificent object made him lose confidence—even against Yamamoto or Aizen, Mizhen was confident he could hold his own for a short time, but this thing was completely different.

Unlike the counterfeit Dark Azure Hand, this thing doesn't actually have any "spiritual pressure" in any sense... It's not because of theories like "lower dimensions can't perceive higher dimensions," but because it is the opposite of all "movement," and since it is nothingness, how could it possibly exist?

But the Spirit King's side... is a completely different extreme.

In a sense, Mima is quite lucky. He may be the only person in the world besides Hyosube Ichibei who has seen the Soul King in battle. Even Yhwach has to take a backseat in this regard.

The problem is... this isn't a short film about time travel.

In this landscape, which seems to be a memory of the Dark Azure Mage, Mima can clearly sense "all the auras".

This also includes the Spirit King.

Unlike his tiny body, the Spirit King's aura was so immense that it defied description.

Just as humans living on the surface of a planet cannot discover the truth of the earth with their eyes, Mima saw a spiritual pressure on the Spirit King that was more immense than anyone he had ever known, but he could also instinctively realize that it was just a tiny part of the iceberg. With his current strength, he couldn't even fully perceive the Spirit King's aura.

And that arrow.

That was a pure "destruction".

Cut, smash, tear, grind into dust... and any other form of destruction, in short, that thing that looked like a divine arrow of destruction was offering an ultimate answer to the question of everything—violence and destruction.

Compared to the magnificent thing that the Soul King called "the primordial nothingness," the power of the arrow was similar yet different, though Mima couldn't quite grasp this level of understanding—in any case, the only thing he could be 100% certain of was its "power."

Even using the most conservative estimate, this arrow could easily crush thousands upon thousands of kung fu cars.

...Didn't we say before that we'd reduce the persecution of Kenshi? Oh well, I can't be bothered with that now. Anyway, even in the Dragon Ball universe, this kind of power spike is a bit much...

The average level of the younger generation was just tearing down a house, but by the time it came to the ancestors, it suddenly became a planetary war, which was so absurd that it was almost bizarre...

For some reason, the so-called "original nothingness" did not put up any resistance to the arrows shot by the Spirit King. It just stood there motionless, seemingly without any shield or anything like that.

Could it be that... it has no wisdom or thought at all?

If that's the case, then it is indeed quite "empty".

The instant the arrow struck his brow, a burst of intense light, turning the entire world white, exploded from the point of contact. Mi-chan's senses were instantly thrown into chaos, and all around him was this lifeless whiteness.

Then, his vision returned to normal once again.

"...Tsk."

The stark contrast caused him to feel an overwhelming sense of nausea, and his movements almost inevitably froze.

A huge flaw was exposed out of nowhere.

If he hadn't gained the ability to think in multiple ways, his other two bodies would inevitably have experienced some lag.

However, Anzang Yushou, who was fully capable of pressing his advantage, did not do so.

He merely glanced at Mima before immediately engaging in a fierce battle with the old man and Unohana, almost as if... he was deliberately giving Mima a chance?

Mima covered her eyes and gasped for breath a few times, then asked in a slightly confused voice, almost to herself, "What...does this mean?"

An Cang Yu Shou seemed to have heard him, and after a moment, his lips moved a few times.

There was no sound, but Mi Zhen could still make out the mouth movements.

He was saying: Inheritance.

inherited?

What should be passed down? And in what ways should it be passed down?

Ultimately, why do the two people's spiritual pressures create such a strange "resonance"?

But that was the end of Anzang Mitsu's special actions. He began to focus on dealing with the attacks of the two captains, ignoring Mima.

Damn it... another riddle-maker!

Mima clenched his fist in frustration, then poured more than 10% of his spiritual pressure into Ryugetsu, causing Shigure to condense them all.

What I hate most are riddle tellers!

I don't care what secrets you're hiding, I'll fucking kill you!

As it turned out, when facing three opponents with spiritual power of level two or above, Dark Azure Guardian, without the protection of the Devouring Force Field, quickly found himself in a predicament.

He had completely lost ground in close combat and could only rely on using the Crimson Crescent Blade to maneuver between the three attackers. However, even this extravagant fighting style, which disregarded the consumption of spiritual pressure, was rapidly losing its effectiveness. The three gradually figured out his patterns and began to inflict more and more damage on him. Crystal shards flew everywhere, and wounds appeared and healed repeatedly. The balance of power was reversed once again.

This time, he will probably be suppressed until the end.

But the Dark Azure Mage seemed completely unconcerned about his impending death.

After that silent word "inheritance," Dark Azure Guardian fell completely silent, even the most basic interjections disappeared without a trace, as if he had become a pure and utterly incomparable fighting machine.

The old man and the woman named Muno Hana were getting more and more comfortable fighting each other, with flames and sword light flying together, as if they were treating the Dark Azure Mage as a high-level punching bag that only comes along once every few centuries.

Mijin, however, was different; he experienced dizziness time and time again during the battle.

Swinging his sword would cause this, using Kido would cause this, dodging with Shunpo would still cause this; waves of slight dizziness crashed against his brain like waves. If he hadn't used his superb control to endure it, he probably would have already revealed several openings.

But only this body felt this dizziness; the other two bodies didn't experience it at all.

If that's the case... the root cause of the dizziness seems to be...

Mima frowned and tentatively poured a tiny bit of spiritual pressure into the Cero's emission circuit.

The dizziness that had been surrounding my head suddenly intensified.

A blurry image seemed to flash before my eyes, and that "resonance" with the Dark Azure Guardian echoed once again.

...Is it a hollow spiritual pressure?

Does the so-called inheritance refer to something intangible?

But there is no such record in any existing literature.
