"You are?"
When the two saw each other, they couldn't help but ask in unison.
Xia Li looked at the other party in surprise. He did not have a mask on his face. He had short dark brown slightly curly hair, gray-blue eyes, and a slight beard on his chin. He looked like a handsome uncle.
But the fluctuations coming from his body were indeed Hollow's spiritual pressure.
After carefully looking at the 'Xu' in front of him, Xia Li noticed that the necklace around his neck was actually made of bones. This material should be the same as Xu's mask.
So, is the other party an Arrancar?
But how is that possible? Hasn't Aizen not obtained Urahara Kisuke's hōgyoku yet?
Of course, Xia Li thinks that Aizen must have been to Hueco Mundo, but he probably hasn't developed an Arrancar yet.
Just as Xia Li was observing the other party, the other party was also observing Xia Li.
It can be seen that he was also surprised when he saw Xia Li, and then there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He felt that Xia Li seemed a little different from the Hollows he had encountered before, but since he had never seen a human or a god of death, he thought that Xia Li was in the same situation as him
"Aizen Soyousuke?"
At this time, Xia Li suddenly spoke and directly said a name.
Then, Xia Li saw a trace of confusion in the other person's eyes, and obviously didn't realize what Xia Li suddenly meant.
This reaction made Xia Li nodded secretly. Coupled with his previous judgment, he was still willing to believe that the other party was not deliberately showing it to him.
"What does the name you mean mean?" Finally, the handsome uncle spoke.
"Well, just to make sure you know the other person." Xia Li also said.
"I don't recognize the name you mentioned. It can be said that you are the first companion I know who can get close to me." The handsome uncle said.
"Companion?" Xia Li was a little stunned. Did the other party regard him as a fool?
Xia Li felt that the difference between the god of death and the void was still very obvious. Didn't the other party notice it?
What Xia Li didn't know was that the handsome man in front of him actually felt the difference, but he didn't know what the difference meant.
Uncle Handsome has been very powerful since he was born. If a weak person comes close to him, his soul will be automatically consumed and he will die.
Therefore, Uncle Handsome has never had a companion, and can only travel alone in Hueco Mundo, looking for strong companions who can be with him without being weakened and dying.
Now, the handsome uncle looked at Xia Li. Although he felt that the other person was a little different from himself, he subconsciously thought that this was normal. After all, Xia Li was also the first person he saw who could get close to him.
"I'm not your companion." Although Xia Li didn't understand, there was no need to deceive the other party. After laughing, he said, "You are Xu, and I am the God of Death."
"Xu? Death? Is there any difference?" the handsome uncle asked a little confused.
Xia Li wants to complain about the other party, is she serious?
But the handsome uncle was the first Vastod-level Daxu he discovered, and he managed to break through for unknown reasons.
Therefore, Xia Li also took the time to explain to the handsome uncle the difference between Xu and Death.
After listening, the handsome uncle also nodded and said, "I think there is no difference between the God of Death and the Hollow. They are not just different products evolved from the human soul."
"You're right to say that." Xia Li nodded. If any other god of death heard this sentence, he would probably feel rebellious, but Xia Li actually felt the same way.
"Why did you come here?" the handsome uncle asked.
"To go further." Xia Li also replied. He found that the other party did not seem to be hostile to him, so he said directly.
"Go further?" The handsome uncle was a little confused.
"Yes, my strength has reached a bottleneck and I can no longer break through with ordinary methods, so I came here to find unusual methods." Xia Li replied.
"So have you found it?" The handsome uncle was a little curious, "If you haven't found it, maybe I can go look for it with you. After all, I am more familiar with this place than you are."
"Huh?" Xia Li didn't know what to say at this time. Is the other party expressing goodwill to him? But why?
"Why do you want to help me?"
Xia Li, who was a little confused, asked directly.
"Because a person is so lonely, it is a very good thing to have someone as a companion." The handsome uncle said.
Xia Li was silent for a while, looking at the handsome man in front of her, feeling his spiritual pressure. He was still unconsciously releasing that extremely powerful spiritual pressure.
So, another Zaraki Kenpachi character?
Being born so powerful results in a complete lack of control over the power as one can imagine.
The other party has always maintained this level of spiritual pressure. Unless it is a Daxu of Achiukas level, anyone else who comes into contact will be directly crushed by this spiritual pressure and collapse as long as they get close.
That’s why this handsome man in front of me feels so lonely, right?
After all, in this world where there is no daylight and the scenery is only endless desert and dead trees, it is indeed a torture to not have a companion to chat with.
At least Xia Li can still rub the moon elf, and occasionally talk to Ming Jing Zhishui to relieve his boredom. The person in front of him may not even have this.
The opponent is not Zaraki Kenpachi. He can suppress his own spiritual pressure with the help of an eye patch. Perhaps he is already used to the setting that the Hollows around him will die if they approach him, right?
"Xia Li, Shen Dao Chuan, my name." Xia Li said at this time.
"Xia Li? Keyatei Stark, just call me Stark." Stark also showed a smile and stretched out his hand without picking up his weapons, two musket-like weapons. .
Xia Li also stretched out her hand and shook it with Stark.
"So, where are we going next?" Stark put his hands in his pockets and said casually. He had no destination anyway.
So just follow Xia Li's destination.
"I have found the target." Xia Li looked at Stark and replied.
"Oh?" Stark was a little strange, and then he looked around and saw that there was nothing else. Stark soon reacted and looked at Xia Li and pointed at him.
Xia Li nodded and said, "Since I came to Hueco Mundo, I have been looking for the Daxu above Jillian, trying to break their masks to see if they can master the power of death, but unfortunately, My research was not successful and I had already given up.”
As she said this, Xia Li looked at Stark again, as if she wanted to see what was so different about Stark that he could break through on his own. "That's right, so am I the result you want to see?" Stark was also a little surprised, and then said.
"I can't tell you much about this. I only know that I have been traveling alone in Hueco Mundo, looking for strong companions who can be with me without being weakened and dying, and then I faded away. The mask became what it is now," Stark replied.
"Is that so?" Xia Li nodded. There should be something special about it. Unfortunately, he couldn't see the whole process. Otherwise, he should be able to discover something from it.
At this time, Xia Li looked at the two muskets on Stark's waist and asked, "Can you show me your weapons?"
Xia Li remembered that those Arrancars also had Zanpakutō, and even their ability was to return the sword. Xia Li still remembered this, after all...
There are some amazing scenes that are difficult to completely forget. For example, Xia Li can’t remember which blades it was. The battle between the opponent’s second-stage return blade and Kurosaki Ichigo was definitely the pinnacle of peaks, so Xia Li should also remember it. Very deep.
The opponent's return sword may be very similar to the death god's swastika, except that the death god's swastika mainly releases the power of the Zanpakutō, while the Arrancar's return sword is more like returning the power to himself.
To be honest, Xia Li was actually more interested in Arrancar's ability to concentrate his power on himself than the Shinigami's ability to use his Zanpakutō.
Unfortunately, Xia Li was not sure whether he could still be an Arrancar after becoming hollow, and whether his thoughts would change after the Arrancar. These uncertain factors made Xia Li not make that choice easily.
"Uh..." Stark's eyes shrank when he heard this. He didn't refuse, but he didn't agree either.
Xia Li was not surprised. After all, the opponent's weapon should be as important to Stark as the Zanpakutō is to the Shinigami. How could it be given to others so easily.
"If you are worried, you can use my Zanpakuto for temporary exchange." Xia Li said, holding Ming Jing Shisui's sword blade and handing it to Stark.
Stark was silent for a while and then said, "I still need to ask her opinion."
Xia Li was startled. Does the Arrancar's weapon have its own independent consciousness like the Zanpakutō?
Soon, Stark's expression softened, and he handed the two guns to Xia Li. At the same time, he also took Xia Li's Mirror Shisui.
Then Stark observed the sword body of Ming Jing Zhisui. The unique shape and the cold light on the blade made Stark sigh that it was really a very powerful weapon.
But Stark also discovered that he couldn't use this mirror to stop water at all, and the soul consciousness in it seemed to be repelling him.
In fact, Stark was a little surprised. Is the Death God's Zanpakutō also conscious? He originally thought that this kind of thing was only available to him. After all, even in the virtual world, Stark was a very unique person.
The result...
After Xia Li took over the two spears, he felt the soul in them and showed an expression that was indeed like this. Sure enough, does the Arrancar's Zanpakutō also have its own consciousness?
In this case, what is the difference between a Shinigami's Zanpakutō and an Arrancar's Zanpakutō?
If the Arrancar can perform the Return of the Blade, then why can't the Shinigami?
At this time, all kinds of doubts poured directly into Xia Li's mind. What he didn't know was that Stark was also the most unique among the Arrancars.
After all, there is a difference between the Arrancar who makes his own Arrancar and the Arrancar Aizen uses the Hongyoku to assist him.
After observing for a while, Xia Li returned the two guns to Stark, and he also took Ming Jing Zhishui back, and then felt the dissatisfaction coming from Ming Jing Zhishui.
However, he was just dissatisfied. Ming Jing Zhishui had already determined from the beginning that he would not go against his will.
"Did you find anything?" Stark asked.
Xia Li shook his head and said, "Your twin spears feel no different from my Zanpakutō."
"That's right." Stark nodded, then suddenly thought of something and said, "Maybe I know what's different."
"Huh?" Xia Li was startled and looked at Stark.
Stark stroked his guns and said, "My guns are actually part of my body, but your Zanpakuto shouldn't be, right?"
Xia Li was also a little surprised when she heard this, but Stark's words also made Xia Li understand that the Arrancar can return to the sword. The weapon is just a part of the opponent, and perhaps it only seals part of the Arrancar's power...< br>
However, Xia Li was suddenly startled and realized something was wrong. He frowned and said, "Since they are part of you, why do you still have independent consciousness in your two guns?"
< br>
Suddenly, Stark smiled bitterly, and then said, "This is actually my problem. I should be the only one like this."
"Huh?" Xia Li looked at Stark with some confusion.
Stark sighed and said, "Didn't I say before that I want a companion who can accompany me on my journey?"
Xia Li nodded.
"Unfortunately, I have been searching for a long time and have not found a companion who can get close to me without being weakened to death, so I finally made a move, which was to split my soul into two individuals." Stark said.
Xia Li was startled, so the Stark in front of him was an individual soul, so the other individual soul was...
Xia Li's eyes fell on the two guns in Stark's hands.
Stark also nodded and said, "Because I felt the danger before and for insurance, I merged into one before approaching you."
"That's understandable."
Xia Li nodded. In fact, if it were him, he would not be able to tell this secret casually even now.
But...
After they exchanged weapons, Stark seemed to have determined that Xia Li had no ill intentions, so he regarded him as a true companion. He might be a little hesitant, but he would still choose to help him as much as possible.
Xia Li also felt that the uncle-looking Arrancar in front of her was a bit innocent and adorable.
Fortunately, Xia Li did not have any ill intentions towards Stark, and he would even ensure that Stark would not die in an accident in order to conduct better research.
"Come out, Lilynette." Stark said to his guns at this time.
Suddenly, the twin guns transformed into a little girl wearing very little clothing.
The opponent's head and the left half of his face were covered in a mask. He had short light green hair, a purple flame pattern next to his left eye, and was only wearing an open-breasted vest and shorts. (End of chapter)
