In Soul Society, love and bond begin

"Also, your companions should have already..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze looking further behind him froze.

The petite blonde girl still stood there holding the metal pistol.

La Ai kept thrusting the dagger into the girl's neck.

However, the blade of the dagger completely broke apart and shattered all over the ground in one go.

On Metalu's neck, a large patch of silver spread along the skin, slowly fading like stripes, and along with it, the platinum light in the petite girl's eyes also faded away.

Laai still had a stunned expression on his face. He looked towards Metalu in disbelief, as if he wanted to say something, but he was completely unable to open his mouth.

Thick blood flowed unconsciously from the corners of his lips.

The tip of the pistol in Metalu's hand stabbed towards Laai's abdomen, chest, thighs, and neck like a plant branch, forming a large umbrella-like structure.

The whole body seemed to be falling apart.

“Oh, that hurts.”

Metalu cried out softly and rubbed her fair and slender neck.

The girl turned her gaze towards Fujimiya Makoto and asked calmly:

"You don't think..."

"We are companions, so we will believe this liar's words, right?"

"You are so naive, Mr. Fujimiya."

......

Chapter 153: Xu Wan

"Wow--"

Laai's body was scattered in a pool of scarlet, his long, soft hair was stained with blood, but his wide-open eyes were still staring at the direction of Metalu, as if he died with his eyes open.

Metalu didn't even bother to look at her.

The branch extending from the rear end of the submachine gun slowly retracted like flowing mercury, and the entire gun was stored in her slender white arm cleanly.

The slender and petite blonde girl raised her head and looked in the direction of Fujimiya Makoto.

The small white waistcoat fell down the girl's smooth shoulders, and Metalu stepped forward with a cold look in her eyes.

"My name is Metallu, the sacred letter M."

"The ability is metal."

"I'm sure that bitch who betrayed His Majesty Yhwach has already told you all this information, right?"

"but......"

"You don't think I can only make some random tools, do you?"

As the girl spoke, a mirror-like metallic luster gradually appeared on the surface of Metalu's skin, spreading from the bottom of her clothes upwards until it reached her neck and even her cheeks.

Even the pupils turned into a platinum color, with a faint luster.

Until the moment the words fell.

"Om-"

The spiritual pressure spread, the atmosphere vibrated, and everything in front of me was constantly distorted under the intense pressure.

Fujimiya Makoto looked at her and narrowed his eyes.

The next moment, Metalu suddenly pointed in his direction.

"Chucky!"

Thorns with a metallic luster suddenly appeared from the ground, piercing obliquely towards Fujimiya Makoto in rows. The fine tips spread rapidly, and the solid metal kept switching back and forth between fluid and solid, crushing the earth and turning the entire palace into a steel forest in the blink of an eye.

Fujimiya Makoto took a slight step, a little dust rose on the stone brick floor, and his figure disappeared.

When it appeared again, it was already in mid-air.

Metallu kept one hand raised, while the other hand was stretched out towards Fujimiya Makoto.

Then, the steel forest that was constantly piercing and spreading on the ground like a forest seemed to come alive in an instant, and continued to chase in the direction of Fujimiya Makoto.

All I could hear was the sound of metal tearing as pieces of steel twisted, broke, and spread again, which hurt my eardrums.

This steel, which is strong enough to tear a human body into pieces, is as soft and malleable as flowing water and sand under the control of the petite girl in front of him, and even the speed of movement is astonishingly fast.

Fujimiya Makoto observed the flow of steel under his feet, his peripheral vision focused on the girl who was the controller.

The only way to get out of this dangerous situation is to kill the controller directly.

Almost at the moment this thought arose, Fujimiya Makoto had already moved.

The instant step he took in mid-air pierced through the air, and the huge reaction force pushed his body forward, and he appeared just in front of Metalu like an afterimage.

His eyes were like lightning and his knife flashed.

"Tear--"

The blade, wrapped in an extremely strong will, tears through steel with ease.

However, the moment the 'Metal' in front of Fujimiya Makoto was split in half from head to toe, his pupils suddenly constricted.

Inside the Iron Body...

It's an empty shell.

trap!

At the foot of the severed shell, an iron flower with carefully outlined petals emerged from the ground and bloomed, spewing a large cloud of faintly reflective mist in his direction.

It was a cloud of metallic dust.

At the same time, countless huge metal roots, centered in the direction of the flower, instantly swallowed up Fujimiya Makoto's body, making a sharp sound of metal strangulation.

After this series of operations were completed, Metalu's petite figure emerged from the ground in another place, and the metallic luster on the surface of her body faded slightly.

His gaze, sharper than metal, was still fixed on Fujimiya Makoto.

"Stupid Piqué."

"Go and tie up your broken arm, and don't hold me back."

"Your power is still useful to His Majesty."

The slender blonde girl stood in front of the huge man, her tone cold.

"Yes."

However, facing such a Metalu, Pieck could not muster the slightest intention of refutation and stood quietly behind her.

Are you angry, Metallu?

Pike looked at the hemisphere in front of him that was almost completely swallowed by metal, and his eyelids drooped slightly.

Just like although they are both captains of the Death God, there is a huge gap between their strengths.

There are also differences between Quincy and other Quincy.

Guys like him and Laai can only be considered average in the Stern Cross Knights, neither better than the best nor worse than the worst.

But, whether it was Baber, Louise, Saidritz, or even Metal in front of him...

"It's different from the usual casual playfulness."

"If she gets serious, she won't be at the same level as she is now."

Piqué covered the broken end of his arm and laughed at himself.

This Grim Reaper is doomed to die today.

"Zheng——"

However, before this thought could subside, a clear sound of metal tearing rose in his ears.

On the surface of the metal hemisphere that completely covered Fujimiya Makoto, traces of faint light appeared.

Immediately afterwards, it fell to the ground like a collapsed building block, making a dull roar.

Fujimiya Makoto stepped out of the pit step by step on the debris under his feet. The Shinigami suit on his body was still spotless, as if it had not been touched at all. There was a hint of interest in his eyes when he looked at Metal.

"You should be able to be stronger, right?"

Meta raised his brows at the provocative tone, and his eyes turned into a dazzling platinum color again.

Metal thorns denser than before rushed out in an instant, and the violent wind and waves blew up the girl's skirt and hair. The bright spiritual pressure seemed to swallow her whole. The huge metal waves flattened everything in the palace like a tide, and cascaded towards Fujimiya Makoto. Only a small area around Metallu and Pieck was left blank.

There is no way to hide.

"call..."

Fujimiya Makoto let out a low breath, looking at the metal wave that destroyed the entire palace, but he couldn't help but smile excitedly.

Since there is no way to hide,

Then stop hiding!

A layer of smoke rose from the ground behind his footsteps. Fujimiya Makoto maintained his Iaijutsu posture, advancing instead of retreating.

Until the moment when his body was about to be swallowed by countless metal thorns...

Draw the knife!

"Zhengzhengzheng——"

The arm holding the knife waved like an afterimage, and the forward steps did not stop at all.

The metal thorns that constantly emerged from the ground and could easily tear apart the bodies of ordinary reapers were as fragile as the tangled branches blocking his way in front of Fujimiya Makoto. The speed of swinging the knife was even faster than the speed of the metal thorns.

Cut through the thorns with gold!

Standing in the center of the wave, Metalu pursed her lips tightly, and her body clearly felt the pain of being torn and chopped from the feedback of the metal. Her brows were furrowed, and her slender hands kept reaching out towards him.

However, the man who cut through the waves amidst the metal thorns was simply unstoppable!

The sound of a blade cutting through metal was getting closer.

Pieck, who was standing next to Metalu, stood up with a serious expression, tightly clenching the brass knuckles on his sturdy hands, with cold sweat dripping from his temples.

How, how could this happen...?!

Is this something a human can do?

That's steel!

However, before this thought could form in his mind, a dazzling blade light was clearly reflected in his field of vision.

All the metal that was close to him broke, and between the torn fractures, Fujimiya Makoto was exposed, holding a knife in one hand with a murderous look on his face.

Shocking and terrifying.

"Drink-"

However, the experience of countless protections still supported Pique to take a step forward. He completely ignored the strange emotions that emerged in his heart, and roared and punched in the direction of Fujimiya Makoto.

However, his punch, which he had thrown with all his strength, suddenly landed in the air.

Pique's expression couldn't help but freeze.

Metalu, who had been concentrating on controlling the metal thorns, had no time to react when a dark figure suddenly appeared behind Pieck. Even her long hair, casually tied up with grass roots, was still floating in mid-air, unable to fall.

Fujimiya Makoto showed a warm smile on his face.

Metalu was stunned.

"boom--"

Strong hands tightly grasped the girl's face and pushed her whole body into the dense metal jungle behind her. The force that erupted was so great that she instinctively covered her entire body with the hardest metal she knew.

With an explosive sound, countless steel jungles that formed the entire palace were suddenly broken.
