Natsuhiko felt a crazy will devouring him, corroding his thoughts bit by bit. His entire being was dominated by the desire of the will.
This was void-ification. Natsuhiko clenched his teeth and held on.
He couldn't void-ification.
If he void-ified, he would lose his rationality. He couldn't void-ify.
But it was impossible. It was impossible to survive void-ification with one's will alone. No one could survive void-ification with one's strength.
No one could even avoid soul suicide.
Void-Ification referred to injecting the soul of Hollow into an existing soul, breaking the boundary between the two souls. It was a way to destroy the original target and make it a higher level existence.
Void-Ification would break the boundary of the soul. At the same time, as the symptoms worsened, the soul would completely merge and become a monster that lost its rationality.
But this was not the end. In the end, not only would the boundary between Hollow and Shinigami's soul be destroyed, even the boundary between the soul itself and the outside world would disappear.
This phenomenon was also called soul suicide.
Although soul suicide was in the final stage of void-ification, it had to be stopped in advance. In other words, it had to be stopped from breaking the boundary without limit. Only by breaking the boundary between Hollow and Shinigami's soul could void-ify.
So how could it be stopped from breaking the boundary without limit?
It required a balance of opposite energies.
For example, in the original work, Shinozaki Makoto was attacked by Hollow. She was a Quincy who had fused with Hollow's energy, so Urahara Kisuke used Shinigami's soul and artificial skeleton to stop her soul suicide.
So if Shinigami fused with Hollow, how could it be stopped from breaking the boundary between Shinigami and Hollow?
It would require Quincy's soul and the soul of a human. Urahara Kisuke made an injection and injected it into the Masked Army. This was also the reason why everyone in the Masked Army was able to survive.
As for removing the soul suicide, it was still very dangerous. If one wanted to master void-ification, they had to find their void-ified self and fight with it to win.
At the same time, there had to be someone from the outside world to stop them from going completely crazy after void-ification failed.
But the time limit was only 60 minutes. After 60 minutes, Hollow and Shinigami's soul would completely merge and become a monster.
In the Masked Army, the longest time was Nishikori, about 63 minutes.
Ichigo Kurosaki took 69 minutes.
At that moment, he would be no different from a monster.
Even after void-ification, one had to prevent void-ification from devouring it, so it could not be used for a long time. Jiu Nanbai's first void-ification had reached 15 hours.
Therefore, Natsuhiko was unable to stop the void-ification, much less stop the soul from committing suicide.
During the process, Natsuhiko's injuries slowly healed. The mask on his face had already taken shape and was about to spread to Natsuhiko's body.
She couldn't control herself.
Natsuhiko could feel his control over his body being stripped away. He gritted his teeth and pressed his left hand against the mask. He tore it apart, bringing with it large chunks of flesh and blood.
The severe pain made Natsuhiko sober for a moment, and he instantly came to the front of Zanpakuto and held it tightly.
The shattered Zanpakuto will return to its original state after the Shikai is removed.
"Descend, Heavenly Thunder Pill."
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and lightning struck down. Natsuhiko grasped it in his hand.
"It's useless, mobilizing spiritual power on a large scale will only accelerate the void-ification." Aizen shook his head gently.
As Aizen's voice fell, the mask on Natsuhiko's face formed again.
"Thunder Fall."
But in the next moment, several thunderbolts struck down and fell on Natsuhiko's face. Huala, the mask was directly shattered, but the moment the thunderbolts disappeared, the mask formed again.
Natsuhiko's thoughts were swallowed by the void-ification again, and he became more and more unable to control himself. He used the thunderbolts again and again, but the mask formed faster and faster.
But in the next moment, the energy of the thunderbolts gathered on Natsuhiko's back, forming two pairs of thunder wings.
That's right, two pairs.
With Natsuhiko's original physical strength, he could only form a pair of thunder wings. If he formed two pairs of thunder wings to move, his speed would greatly increase, but his body would be torn apart.
But now, Natsuhiko's body was constantly being repaired by the power of void-ification, and his strength increased. The more thunder wings there were, the more energy of void-ification was consumed.
Seeing this scene, Aizen frowned slightly, not knowing what he was going to do.
But the moment the thunder wings were formed, Natsuhiko's figure flashed and he ran into the distance.
"He's going to ask for help from Bellingham?
We can't let him reach Bellingham. "
Ichimaru Yin stood beside Aizen and said softly.
Aizen shook his head and said, "Don't worry about him, Bellingham can't save him. If he appears in Bellingham, he will be attacked immediately."
At this point, Aizen frowned slightly and said, "No, he's not going in the direction of Bellingham."
The direction Natsuhiko was flying in was indeed not Bellingham.
Natsuhiko was at West Flowing Soul Street, flying in the northwest direction toward North Flowing Soul Street.
Ichimaru Yin asked in confusion, "Why is he going to North Flowing Soul Street?"
Aizen smiled and said, "If he goes to Bellingham, he'll be killed. If he stays here, he'll run into Sui Feng, so he's going to North Flowing Soul Street."
Natsuhiko quickly arrived at North Flowing Soul Street and appeared near Carp Mountain. At this moment, several extremely powerful auras appeared in Bellingham and rushed toward North Flowing Soul Street.
Boom!
There was a massive explosion, and in the distance, flames soared into the sky.
"This is?"
Aizen's eyes widened, and for the first time, he revealed an expression of shock.
Ichimaru Yin softly said, "That's right, Natsuhiko's Spiritual Pressure has disappeared. He has chosen to self-destruct."
When one's soul was about to be devoured by void-ification, destroying a part of the soul and breaking the boundary would cause violent fluctuations and ultimately lead to an explosion.
This was also why once one became void-ified, the power of void-ification could not be stripped away. No matter what method was used, it would accompany one for life and even be passed down to the next generation.
Unless one chose death.
Aizen frowned and said, "He, he actually chose to self-destruct. How is that possible?"
Ichimaru Yin said from the side, "Perhaps he didn't want to fight with the other people of Bellingham, or perhaps he chose to stay here and be killed by the person he loved."
Aizen scornfully smiled and said, "Love?"
Ichimaru Yin smiled and said, "Captain Aizen, Natsuhiko is already dead. The reason we originally thought of won't work."
Aizen slightly frowned and said, "Yes. Go and bring that defected Death God over here. I'm going to prepare the murderer."
"As for the corpses of these torture warriors, they must be dealt with as quickly as possible."
Aizen waved his hand, and disc-shaped flames flew out and struck the corpses of the torture warriors.
Breaking Dao Level 54, Flame Destruction.
The disc-shaped flames burned the opponent to a crisp and possessed an extremely high temperature.
The next moment, their corpses burned fiercely and turned into ashes, but there was still one corpse left.
Aizen looked at the sky in the distance. The black smoke left behind by Natsuhiko's self-destruction made his joy of success disappear by more than half.
Although the result of Natsuhiko's self-destruction was somewhat imperfect.
But Aizen felt that it was enough to remove Urahara Kisuke's spies.
Aizen did not dare to lower his guard and admire Urahara Kisuke, because Urahara Kisuke was the only person in Soul Society who was more intelligent than him.
。。。
East Seigneur brought the defected Death God over. The defected Death God had a look of fear on his face as he shouted, "Please, don't kill me."
"East Seigneur, kill him."
Aizen said softly.
East Seigneur was slightly stunned and asked, "Sir Aizen, he's dead. How are you going to frame him as the murderer?"
Aizen said with a smile, "He's not qualified to be the murderer. Even if he's in void-form, he'll only have the strength of a vice-captain at most. He won't be able to kill Natsuhiko.
I have other ideas. "
"Understood."
East Seigneur endured the pain, raised his long blade, and stabbed the defected Death God's heart, killing him.
Aizen nodded and said, "Very good."
East Seigneur said, "Sir Aizen, quickly prepare the murderer. Sui Feng will be here soon."
Ichimaru Yin said with a smile, "East Seigneur, why are you in such a hurry?
Isn't it good to live a little longer? "
"What do you mean?"
East Seigneur was puzzled when he heard Ichimaru Yin's words. He then looked at the corpses on the ground.
A torture warrior and a defected Death God. They were all killed by him.
In addition, Aizen said that an ordinary Death God couldn't kill Natsuhiko. East Seigneur instantly understood.
"It's me, Sir Aizen. I'm your loyal servant. Please don't." East Seigneur realized this and pleaded.
But in the next moment, a sword light flashed, and East Seigneur was directly cut down to the ground.
Aizen shook his head and said, "I don't need a loyal servant. I only need a useful servant. Now, you can play your final role."
Leaving these words, Aizen walked in front of him, opened the object that imprisoned the Hogyoku, and aimed it at East Seigneur.
In the next moment, a white mask appeared on East Seigneur's face, and then spread to his body. In just a short while, his wounds were healed, and half of his body was void-formed.
Then, East Seigneur jumped up and pounced on Aizen.
"Not bad. You're very fast. That's enough."
Aizen waved his longsword and cut down East Seigneur. He said, "Silver, I'll leave East Seigneur to you. Hold on until Sui Feng arrives. Remember, don't kill him."
Ichimaru Yin smiled and said, "Captain Aizen, you must be joking. I might not even be able to defeat the void-formed East Seigneur. How can I kill him?"
"Do it well."
Aizen said calmly and turned to leave, disappearing into the depths.
The void-formed East Seigneur got up from the ground. The wounds on his body were completely healed.
Ichimaru Yin touched his nose and said, "You really think highly of me."
With these words, Ichimaru Yin pressed down on the short sword at his waist.
