Chapter 285 Chapter 284: An opportunity given by the Spirit King

There is no way to enter the shrine.

The embarrassment on Arima Shizuya's face also calmed down with his breathing.

He subconsciously stood up straight and now stared behind him... The path he came from was clearly visible in his mind.

There is nothing more than a ten-meter-long trail in front and back.

But to Arima Shizuya's senses, it seemed as if it had been so exaggerated after many years.

This sense of sensory dislocation also made his expression move slightly, as if he had understood something through these things.

What's more... some things that have been extremely familiar until now also feel completely new to Arima Shizuya.

world.

It's like it's been reorganized.

Such a mysterious and subtle change made Shizuya Arima look thoughtful at this moment.

"Oh, thank you for your hard work."

He casually picked up a piece of loose feather fabric made by Soul King Palace and delivered it to Arima Shizuya.

The soldier's smile was brilliant.

"How do you feel about not entering the shando that I arranged for you?"

Putting the clothes on his body, Arima Shizuya raised his right hand in thought and made a fist gesture at this moment.

It's really different.

I thought this thing itself had no special effects.

But unexpectedly, he was able to combine the two powers in Arima Shizuya's body into one, completely eliminating the barriers between them.

The powers of Death and Hollow cannot be fused - this was actually also reflected in the early Kurosaki Ichigo.

It was not until Brother Strawberry reforged his sword that he sealed the power that symbolized both sides into each other's sword and became a real part of him.

It turns out that trying to combine these things into one is not easy.

However, at this moment, by not entering the shrine, Arima Shizuo has also achieved this level...

A little surprising.

Looking at the military commander Ichibei next to him, Shizuo Arima nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

"It helped a lot."

"Hahaha! This is also the sincerity that Lord Soul King asked us to express. From this point of view, what I said before is somewhat credible, right?!"

It's exactly what the other party said.

If this is the sincerity that Soul King Palace is willing to give, then Arima Shizuya does feel a little more convinced at this moment.

Close and tie the feather fabric on your body.

"So, Ichibei-senpai, your test is over here."

Using the creeping spiritual power on the body, it forms a small stream of heat, blowing past it like a breeze.

Shizuya Arima's long hair gradually evaporated and became fluffy.

"If nothing unexpected happens next..."

Tie your long hair up high into a ponytail.

Arima Shizuya's tone also raised a bit at this moment.

"You should be meeting the Lord Spirit King, right?"

Indeed!

The commander of the army, Ichibei, glanced at him, turned his back immediately, and strode forward in rapid strides.

"That's right, you have washed away the worldly things and replaced them with more pure thoughts. Now you... can meet the Lord Spirit King!"

The two of them walked all the way up.

Walk through the dark corridor and step onto the endless steps.

So up, up...

Until my eyes suddenly became clear.

It was a wide place like a platform.

There were no displays at all around. Apart from the mirror-smooth floor and ceiling, there was only the blue sky in the distance.

The emptiness is enough to make people sigh.

For a moment, Arima Shizuya seemed to feel his own 'insignificance'.

And here, Arima Shizuya, who was standing still, saw an unexpected hanging object.

It was a crystalline object with four iron chains piercing its body and hovering in the air. It was like an arthropod hidden in amber, emphasizing an indescribable strangeness.

Arima Shizuya walked forward slowly under the leadership of Ichibei, the commander of the army.

Getting closer.

What can be seen gradually becomes clearer.

"Arima Shizuya, is this your first time to meet the Soul King?"

"Yes."

"Then take a good look. This is the true face of the man who is in charge of the Three Realms. He is also a figure who has put in countless efforts and has been making contributions to the world so far."

The two walked around from a position similar to the back until they completely stood ten meters away from the crystal.

This is the place of audience.

There was no longer any smile in his tone.

Ichibei, the commander of the army, took half a step back, making way for Shizuya Arima to step forward on foot, and said in a deep voice.

"This is...Lord Spirit King."

Arima Jing also raised his head and looked intently.

That is...a 'thing' that is difficult to describe in words.

thing.

Yes, judging from appearance alone, it was hard for Arima Shizuya to think that the other party had any kind of personality.

Having lost his limbs, it was as if everything had been forcibly stripped away, leaving only the outline of his head and body.

The naked man just kept his stiff and lifeless face, just staring blankly in front of him.

Staring in the direction where Arima Shizuya and others were standing.

This is it, Lord Spirit King?

After repeating what Iphei said, Arima Shizuya's expression changed slightly.

Although he knew the truth about the other party in advance through the content of the plot line, now that he had witnessed it in person, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Aloof, treating everything like ants, not having the slightest empathy for everyone, etc...

Rhetoric like this has been brewing in Arima Shizu's heart for a long time and has been engraved in it.

However, what is the reality?

This was just an ordinary middle-aged man sealed in amber, as if time had been frozen.

Not even the siblings were left behind.

Divinity? ruthless?

Such rhetoric seemed unable to be fully applied to the man in front of him.

Even at this moment, Arima Shizuo couldn't help but hum in her heart.

Teacher Aizen…

If you had seen the current situation of the Soul King with your own eyes, would you still maintain your thoughts?

The answer is unknown.

And when feeling it at this moment, Arima Shizuo seemed to have touched something, and a strange voice echoed in his heart.

This way…

Rather than talking about communication, it is more like a direct transmission of information, where the 'text' is packaged and delivered directly into the brain.

Therefore, it is just a fleeting moment.

Arima Shizu has already understood a lot of things.

"Well…"

The sudden memory, content, and various information washed over his consciousness like a tide, making Arima Shizuya unable to help but moan.

He staggered back half a step, a confused light appearing in his eyes.

"This is…"

The memories in my mind are intertwined and mixed with each other. All kinds of familiar faces kept flashing, either crying or shouting.

The man wearing a cloak and a ferocious expression was walking towards the Soul King's Palace step by step.

Behind it...creeping was a sea of ​​blood. "!!"

The scene changes and impact were so intense that even Arima Shizu couldn't help but choke.

He looked at the person next to him who raised his right hand and gently covered his face, covering half of his face.

sharp.

No wonder the Spirit King can seal himself in a crystal. Even if he doesn't need to move, he can still give his orders with words.

It turns out that the other party can compress and package a large amount of information through this brainwave transmission method, and then directly transmit it to the other party's mind.

What an efficient way of communication, just at the moment of contact, Arima Shizu couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

And at the same time.

Arima Shizuya's attention also shifted accordingly, switching to the message delivered by the Soul King.

He saw too many 'possibilities', and this information was also far beyond Arima Shizuya's expectations.

There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

Ichibei, the commander of the army, widened his eyes and said at the right moment.

"It seems that you have already felt it...what do you think? This is the will of Lord Spirit King."

"The eyes of Lord Soul King are enough to see through the passage and direction of time. In this Lord's eyes, there is no secret in everything."

"And now... Shizuya Arima, Lord Soul King has shown you a certain direction in the future."

I see.

Is this a possible future scenario?

Arima Shizuya narrowed his eyes slightly and groaned softly at this moment.

"You mean...the timeline in which Yhwach truly destroyed everything and returned the Three Realms to chaos does indeed exist?"

"I will not say such subjective words. Now I can only make simple speculations based on the information passed to me by Lord Spirit King."

The information between the two parties seems to be unequal. This may also be the deliberate arrangement of the Spirit King...

However, even so, it does not hinder the communication between the two parties.

After all, the most basic consensus has completely overlapped, and no matter how you adjust it, it is just a matter of 'direction'.

The commander of the army, Ichibei, stared at the other party and said in a deep voice at this moment.

"Your efforts so far have been recognized by Lord Soul King, and for this reason, Lord Soul King is willing to let you participate."

Get involved…

Arima Shizuya's expression became a little more subtle.

He subconsciously wanted to say something, but in the end he forcefully swallowed it back and whispered to the other party in frustration.

"You...please continue."

The commander of the army, Ichibei, was not polite.

"As I said before, it is not that simple to change the direction of the flow...but now you can indeed do it."

Whether it's Kurosaki Ichigo's power or the Gotei 13's intentions.

The accumulation of bit by bit and the general trend formed will eventually ‘bloom and bear fruit’ on the final stage.

"You are a swimming fish that has jumped out of the current direction. Now you...have the qualifications to be able to make plans."

"But this is not your chessboard. This is the Three Realms with the will of Lord Spirit King as the core."

Let’s stop here.

The other party's stance has been quite obvious.

Arima Shizuya's expression became a little solemn, and he tried to summarize in his own way.

"You mean, let me give up changing from now on and completely accept your script?"

"The Gotei Thirteen were attacked by surprise, Yamaye was cut into two pieces, Team Zero was defeated miserably, and the Soul King was absorbed as well..."

"Are these phenomena a predetermined future for you?"

If there are other people present.

All you can hear now is the numbness of your scalp.

After all, although Arima Shizuya's words were short, the content could be said to be extremely dangerous!

However, only the person involved can understand... What Arima Shizuya described is exactly the direction and development of the original plot.

The commander of the army, Ichibei, did not answer immediately.

Instead, he pondered for a moment before replying.

"I can't guess what the superior intention is, but since this is the will of Lord Spirit King, it naturally makes sense."

"Perhaps in the eyes of Lord Spirit King, only by making such actions and sacrifices can the Three Realms move toward orthodoxy..."

"Sick diseases like stubborn diseases can be completely cured by this crisis sweeping the three realms."

Among countless timelines, I chose such a tragic and dangerous path of thorns.

Even the Soul King's own life was put on the gambling table... It's no wonder that Ichibei, the commander of the army, said that he didn't understand the Soul King's intentions at all.

But Arima Shizuya couldn't accept this statement.

What a joke.

- Even though he really wanted to shout this out, Arima Shizuya was still unable to say these words because of his reason.

But even so.

The fists hanging down by his sides were clenched tightly.

sound.

Arima Shizuya's voice began to tremble slightly.

"But my efforts so far...are all aimed at changing these things..."

The Quincy King has returned and stirred up the Three Realms. This is the anchor point of the future that cannot be distorted or reversed.

The purpose of Arima Jingya's efforts and accumulation over the years is to reduce losses and prevent this catastrophe from harming too many innocent people.

So far.

But the Spirit King gave him a signal and told him not to do such a thing again?

In a sense, this is denying everything about Arima Shizuya.

I'm sorry, but I haven't been able to say similar words yet.

The commander of the army, Ichibei, had already whispered.

"Therefore...Arima Shizuya, now you have only two choices before you."

Ichibei, the commander of the army, raised his right hand, raised his thick index finger and **** slightly, and shook them slightly in the air.

"First, give up your plan to change from now on and let the situation remain the same. Only in this way can the Three Realms move towards the future we know."

"second…"

The eye monk paused for a moment.

He just stared at Shizuya Arima, as if he wanted to see through the other person's skin and flesh, down to his bones and blood, and the depths of his soul.

"Lord Spirit King is willing to give you a chance."

"You can also stick to your point of view and try to use your own power to change the flow of all this."

"But before that, you must follow the arrangements of Lord Spirit King, and you cannot start your own actions until you reach a certain point."

"Of course, you can also plan and use your own methods during this period of time... there are no restrictions on form, method, etc."

However, all these actions are not without cost.

The tone of the commander of the army, Ichibei, became more solemn than ever.

Just hearing the other party speak, the air seemed to start to become turbid and solemn, sticking wetly to Arima Shizuya's heart.

"But please know and remember that this road is by no means a broad road. It is full of thorns... and you can only go forward alone."

If you don't choose to sacrifice anyone, you will have to pay the corresponding price.

There is Ma Jingye.

"As a result of disobeying the Spirit King's will, if the plan fails, you will definitely be miserable."

Will not enter reincarnation.

Will not fall into hell.

"You will lose everything, including the qualification to return to the Three Realms."

He gently raised his index finger and pointed at Shizuya Arima from a distance.

"You will disappear completely."

So.

What's your answer?
