The Three Realms are officially declared destroyed at this moment!
As the price for the destruction of the Three Realms, the Spirit King, who had been the wedge between the Three Realms for millions of years, regained the power that truly belonged to Him.
Absolute domain 90%...91%...92%...
Under Ichigo Kurosaki's gaze, Mo Yu's momentum increased dramatically, and his strength continued to rise endlessly.
Born from the world, the invincible force that dominated the Chaos Era millions of years ago now truly appeared in the mortal world. The high-purity power of the Soul King that had previously shown its power in the hands of Ichigo Kurosaki also naturally flowed and erupted in Mo Yu's body.
The spiritual king who no longer needs to bear the burden of the three realms and can roam freely in the chaotic world is the strongest spiritual king. He has all the power and magical powers and can perform endless miracles at will.
But at this moment, a pitch-black shadow suddenly appeared, freezing the crumbling space of Karakura Town. Then, in the shadow, the palace of the Quincy Empire slowly emerged. In the center of the palace, Yhwach looked up at the sky. His eyes had turned into double pupils, and a dark, deep shadow flowed in his pupils.
"Kurosaki Ichigo, the worst outcome has already fallen into my eyes, and it is gradually becoming a reality. I have used my shadow to freeze the collapse of the real world, and indirectly maintained the continuation of Hueco Mundo and Soul Society, postponing the worst outcome. Time is short, only thirty minutes at most. Let's solve everything now!"
There is a reason why Youhabach chose to maintain the survival of the Three Realms on his own. He accurately capped Mo Yu's power at 99% of the absolute realm.
Mo Yu said calmly at this moment: "Your purity is still a little low. You rely too much on your imperfect Eye of All-Seeing. Do you think you can win by restraining my absolute domain power and the ultimate power of the three realms? Well, let me use my fists to tell you what the true destiny is for a fighter. Power of Hell, show me your teeth!!!"
Although the process of destruction of the Three Realms was temporarily stopped, it was enough for Mo Yu. The miasma that was more turbid than shadows and deeper than darkness spread endlessly from Mo Yu until it covered everything and stretched across the Three Realms!
Before the three realms collapsed completely, the erosion power of hell was always a little lacking, but at this moment, hell was unstoppable, and at the same time, the ultimate power of hell, which was stronger and more powerful than the miasma, was continuously emerging from the Spirit King.
This ultimate power of hell is completely different from the ultimate power bestowed by the Three Realms. It is extremely dark and evil, and demonstrates the ultimate evil truth of ravaging everything and destroying everything.
Just existing is enough to make people feel what fate is!
This invincible dark and evil force is held tightly in the hands of the strong, and it imposes an absolute fate on all things and all living beings that cannot be disobeyed or changed!
Yhwach indeed had a deep understanding of what fate was. In his omniscient eyes, he could see countless futures, but there was only one picture: the fist that carried the ultimate dark power would completely destroy everything.
He wanted to rewrite it, but every time he rewrote it, he would eventually run into a complete wall under the ultimate dark power.
After countless attempts, Yhwach shook his body suddenly and said:
"The worst ending of Hell swallowing up the three realms is coming. I only have five minutes left to hold on..."
"Although this is only our first meeting, Uncle Zangetsu, thank you for your presence. Even five minutes is already too much for me..."
The look in Ichigo Kurosaki's eyes was firm and unshakable, the flame of fighting spirit burst out like brilliance, and what was even more magical was that his body was gradually disintegrating, or in other words, it was evolving once again.
Starting with his arms, Ichigo Kurosaki's flesh and blood gradually transformed into a high-purity Soul King flow.
This kind of evolution means that Ichigo Kurosaki is no longer just "controlling" power and miracles, but has become the embodiment of power and the true face of miracles.
The strength jumped again, rising from to .
At this moment, Ichigo Kurosaki's figure turned into light!
This light fills the heaven and earth, shining brightly and boundlessly. Every moment of its flash is an endless attack, and it is also a crescent-shaped fist shining between heaven and earth.
Thousands of times, hundreds of times, ten thousand times, one hundred thousand times, one million times, the frequency of attacks is simply impossible to calculate!
In the first thrilling battle of Ichigo Kurosaki's life, the ultimate move that once appeared briefly is now used in a new ultimate version.
All attacks were poured onto the body of the Spirit King.
In just a moment, the Spirit King's body was shattered into pieces by the irresistible absolute force, and gradually turned into molecular-level powder.
But when his body was shattered into pieces, Mo Yu's eyes did not waver at all. He just slowly raised his crumbling hands, as if embracing the whole world.
"Ichigo Kurosaki, let me show you what I mean by technical cheating. Absolute Domain 99% + Ultimate Power 50% + Ultimate Dark Power 50%. This is the ultimate power that is enough to end the preliminary round of the King of Fighters Fighting Tournament..."
The power of the Spirit King himself, the power that erupted when the Three Realms were destroyed, and the power that appeared in Hell, gathered together and also turned into endless light.
Its light is mysterious. It can be the clearest and the most turbid, the most righteous and the most evil.
The light did not blast towards Ichigo Kurosaki or Yhwach, but covered everywhere it could reach in an instant.
Whether it is the real world, Soul Society, or Hueco Mundo, all things and existences, as well as all living beings, are within the coverage range. Then, Mo Yu clenched his hands together and suddenly hammered down.
Blast the three realms and all the existences within them... into hell!!!
82. Rukia's Records of Hell
Time goes back to a while ago.
According to Soul Society's official propaganda, hell is the final destination for all sins.
Apart from this propaganda, there is no more description of hell. Even in the Central Spiritual Arts Academy of Jingling Court, there are some ritual teachings related to hell, but apart from that, there is no more information.
Information related to hell has always been blocked intentionally or unintentionally, and related exploration and research are all kept highly confidential. Most of the death gods don't even know the specific content, let alone whether the hell exploration and research projects really exist.
Although Rukia also felt it was strange before, after she came to hell and saw the scenery of hell with her own eyes, she understood everything!
When we hear the word hell, it is easy to imagine a dark and desolate, gloomy and terrifying place with few people, but this is exactly the wrong perception.
Hell is not dark. The daylight hours here are long, often lasting about sixteen to twenty hours. The sunshine is very bright, and the temperature is over 100 degrees all year round. Occasionally, pillars of fire and rain of fire fall from the sky, pushing the local temperature to thousands of degrees or more.
Hell is not desolate. There are vast and endless forests everywhere, with exotic flowers and plants everywhere, and the vitality is quite dense, so dense that the flowers, plants and trees basically have teeth and tentacles with barbs.
Hell is not eerie or scary; on the contrary, it has endless unique scenery that will make you linger.
For example, the oil pan sea is always boiling, and every now and then a tsunami would set off to engulf one side, making people want to go down and do some fancy butterfly stroke. Or the Blade Mountain Range, which keeps rolling irregularly and leaves no grass wherever it goes, makes people want to climb the mountain.
Hell is not sparsely populated. On the contrary, the population of hell is extremely large, and the residents of hell are spread across every corner of hell. These residents of hell are all very hospitable and like to "say hello" to strangers they have never met.
At this moment, Rukia met such a group of hospitable residents of hell!
The flesh of the densely packed residents of hell overlapped and fused together to form a huge flesh ball several meters high. There were dozens of such human flesh balls. Then, when these human flesh balls sensed Rukia's breath, they let out sharp and crazy howls, rolled over at an accelerated speed, trying to merge Rukia into the flesh ball as well.
The so-called monsters must at least be unique. If they are everywhere on the street, they can no longer be called monsters. In recent days, Lukia has seen a lot of these strange things and has long been accustomed to them and regards them as normal scenery in hell.
Rukia did not dodge, nor did she transform. She just walked forward quietly. The extreme freezing force spread in her footsteps and spread to the front in an instant, freezing those rolling flesh balls of lost souls. When Rukia passed by them, the flesh balls turned into powder and shattered completely.
This single strike killed at least a thousand residents of Hell, but Rukia's eyes did not waver in the slightest, not even a hint of mercy.
There is no death in hell!
Any form of death will result in rebirth in hell, and then, this is not eternal blessing, but eternal punishment in purgatory.
Over the long years, death occurred again and again, eventually gradually wearing away one's consciousness, and completely degenerating into a being called a soulless corpse, which is also the most common inhabitant of hell.
Then, such residents of hell, after being immersed in the miasma of hell for a long time, will undergo various changes. Sometimes, branches and leaves grow on their bodies, and they gradually transform into a strange plant. Sometimes, their bodies alienate and expand, and they turn into creatures of bizarre shapes. Some will be dominated by hell and completely transformed into hell's jailers. There are all kinds of strange things happening.
The phenomenon of this combination forming a meat ball is not too much, but not too little either.
Rukia walked quietly in hell. Whenever the residents of hell greeted her enthusiastically, she would respond with a cold nod with an invisible icy force!
Killing and destruction, in hell, are just normal behaviors like saying hello!
At this time, Rukia understood very well why Soul Society blocked the information about Hell. If the Shinigami of Soul Society knew about this, Shinigami with spiritual pressure above third level would basically fall into Hell after death. And with the environment in Hell being like this, it would probably cause quite a stir.
After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at their destination, an active volcano that was erupting all the time. Then, through a winding narrow path in the mountain, Rukia saw a dozen people wearing cloaks or masks.
These people have different appearances and expressions, and even some parts of their bodies have some decay and mutation. The only thing they have in common is that there is a chain somewhere on their body.
The chains were pitch black, emitting an ominous and eerie glow!
In the hell of immortality, not all residents of hell will become soulless corpses. Some of them, because of their strong willpower or outstanding combat capabilities and few deaths, have maintained their sanity. Then, they are infected by the miasma of hell and gradually gain some power of hell, but at the same time, black chains will grow on their bodies.
These beings are called sinners!
Then, the power of hell is not a blessing, but a curse. After becoming a sinner, you will encounter more disasters in hell. For example, the probability of a fireball falling on your head while walking on the road, or a carnivorous plant suddenly popping up on the ground, is dozens of percentage points higher than that of ordinary hell residents. Even the soulless corpse will rush up like a mad dog when they see a sinner.
In a sense, these sinners are more like normal "prisoners" of hell. The malice of hell weighs endlessly on them until those who have managed to escape the endless death and eternal punishment for various reasons are completely transformed into soulless corpses.
The sinners have nowhere to escape, as the dark chains are the extension of the will of hell. Even though these sinners are hiding here well, perhaps in the next second, they will be pulled away by the chains and fall into a horrible danger.
But no matter what, these sinners are the only ones in hell who can communicate and even trade with each other.
These sinners were very wary of the appearance of Rukia, because Rukia did not have any black chains on her body. In hell, those who do not have such black chains on their bodies and seem to be conscious are either newcomers who have just fallen into hell, or some very terrifying beings. Although the latter are extremely rare, there is no death in hell. As long as there is enough time, the probability of sinners encountering these terrifying beings is not low.
"I need some food and water!"
Rukia ignored the sinner's warning. Although Hell would not die, physiological phenomena such as hunger and thirst still existed. Rukia still needed to replenish food and water. Although Hell was full of vitality, there were not many things that could actually be "eaten".
This is somewhat different from the situation in Soul Society. In Soul Society, only food and water containing spirit particles can fill the hunger and thirst of the gods of death. The more spirit particles contained in the food, the better. In hell, the hell miasma contained in all things is too strong. Only food and water with less miasma can be eaten normally. The less miasma, the more precious the food.
And this kind of food can either be found in nature or traded with other people.
The sinners are infected by the power of Hell and have some resistance to the miasma of Hell. They can absorb the strong miasma of Hell contained in food and water and purify the food and water, but this purification also comes at a price. Many sinners purify too much and eventually the concentration of Hell miasma in themselves explodes, and they finally have to read the bar of rebirth.
After a while, one of the criminals looked up and said, "What can you exchange?"
This sinner is neither a human nor a god of death, but a void. However, its left arm has been completely transformed into a corrupt and tumor-ridden tentacle, constantly emitting a strong miasma of hell, but its eyes are calm, even too calm.
In hell, there is no longer a distinction between humans, hollows, shinigami, and Quincy. There are only two types of distinction: the sinners who still retain their sanity, and the soulless ones.
Even the naturally violent Xu have learned to use reason and calmness to maintain their own sanity as much as possible, while those Xu who cannot do this have already become the puppets of hell wandering around hell.
"Information. Information that may help you escape from hell!"
Rukia glanced at the sinner and then gave her own chip, which instantly attracted the attention of all the sinners present.
In the hearts of all the residents of hell who still retain their sanity, escaping from hell is undoubtedly the highest pursuit.
Even though the authenticity of the information had not been confirmed, the sinner had already taken out food and water from his arms and threw them to Rukia. Not only him, but all the sinners present took out food and water and gave them to Rukia, showing their thirst for information!
Of course, Rukia also knew that if she went back on her word or made up a story, these sinners would not hesitate to rush forward and sacrifice their lives for her.
"The Spirit King has awakened and is preparing to cleanse the Three Realms. This is a huge change that has not happened in a million years..."
Rukia didn't go into too much detail, but for the people present, this was already earth-shattering information.
There are basically no simple people who can fall into hell. They have all heard of the name of the Spirit King. Even among these sinners, there are very likely to be geniuses of the time who have set their sights on the Spirit King Palace or have targeted the Spirit King Palace in the past million years.
They chewed on the value of this information, and then their eyes lit up, or rather, their hearts became active.
But these had nothing to do with Rukia. After packing up the food and water, she left.
Walking on the land of hell, Rukia looked at the weather. As the daylight hours came to an end, the endless clouds of fire gradually dissipated, replaced by violent snowstorms that were strong enough to freeze everything. For most residents of hell, this might be a day more difficult to endure than during the day, but for Rukia, it was a relatively "refreshing" time.
But the weather was so good that Rukia couldn't help but sigh and said to herself:
"What exactly is the so-called King of Hell, and how can one become one?"
After being sent to hell by Mo Yu with the fist of expedited administrative approval, Rukia has been confused about this problem.
She did not feel that Hell looked at her differently, nor did they have the tendency to recruit special talents for her. Well, it was not entirely true to say that there was no such thing at all. Although she was not a sinner, when the residents of Hell saw her, they greeted her more vigorously than they did to sinners, but that seemed to be all.
Rukia still has no idea how to become the King of Hell!
Such worries continued to bother Rukia, making her mood unconsciously irritable. She looked up at the icy gale that was blowing in her face and even blew up a layer of icy wind on the ground. She sighed, and then the cold wind stopped suddenly.
The icy gale that tore through the earth, along with the dark, endless snow clouds above the sky, were completely "frozen", as if solidified in invisible amber. Even the mud and rocks blown up by the gale were suspended in mid-air.
After falling into hell, Rukia found that her strength seemed to have increased a little, but she didn't care about it, because her heart was always filled with an indescribable irritability, which made her unconsciously want to vent.
Just like an ordinary lady from a wealthy family, when she was angry, she quietly stretched out her foot and kicked the stones on the roadside. Rukia froze everything she saw in front of her.
After venting some of her inner troubles, Rukia felt a little better.
Although she was a little irritated, Lukia could still bear it because over the past few days, through the exploration of hell and the communication with the sinners, Lukia had discovered that the flow of time in hell and the three realms was actually not the same. One day passed in the three realms, but several days, or even more than ten days, might have passed in hell. It was uncertain. Even inside hell, time was not so accurate. The flow of time in some areas might be faster, and in some areas it might be slower.
It can be said that in hell, "time" itself is a kind of malicious punishment. For example, some people who have just gone to hell think that they can find their companions or relatives who died earlier in hell. Then when they find them, they discover that their companions and relatives have already experienced endless torture in the abnormal passage of time and have become soul-lost corpses.
But no matter what, the chaotic passage of time in hell let Rukia know that she still had some time.
Confused and troubled about how to become the King of Hell, Rukia continued to move forward.
In the back, the criminals hiding in the volcano also felt the changes in the outside world. They ran out to take a look out of curiosity, and then they all felt a chill.
In the area that came into their sight, everything was completely solidified by an invisible freezing force, as if this area was all placed in invisible amber and completely imprisoned. Then these criminals keenly discovered that anything from the outside that entered, even the wind, would gradually solidify once it entered this area.
Awe gradually filled the hearts of these sinners.
In hell, death is not scary. What is more scary than death is the extreme evil that is above death.
Among them was a sinner who seemed unable to hold back any longer and finally rushed into this area. Then, with a slightly happy smile on his face, he completely froze in this frozen area.
The other sinners were silent, or felt fear, but also had a hint of understanding.
Being completely submerged in endless terror is, in a sense, also a kind of salvation and liberation!
Because this is one of the very few channels in the hell of immortality that can be approached, or it is infinitely equivalent to death.
Rukia didn't pay attention to what happened next. She just kept walking and moving forward without much purpose. Sometimes Rukia herself wondered what was the meaning of her walking and moving forward, and whether the so-called position of the King of Hell really existed.
Naturally, this kind of thinking will not lead to any useful conclusions.
Perhaps, this is the most fundamental logic of hell. Everything we do is meaningless torture, and in the end, there is only eternal damnation.
While moving forward and thinking, Rukia would occasionally meet some familiar faces, including the evil Hollows that she had defeated before, as well as the older generation of Shinigami that she had met in the Silent Garden or had seen in the information.
At this time, Rukia will stop and chat with them!
Hell is bad in many ways, but there is only one good thing. Faced with the horrific torture that hell inflicts upon everyone, all those who have fallen into hell have actively or passively let go of everything in their lives. Even the Hollow who was killed by Rukia herself, showed a warm and friendly smile when facing Rukia, and even gave her a thumbs up, saying that the knife you killed me with was a good one, a wonderful one, and a great one.
