Chapter 163: The Execution Time Brought Forward
Ethan looked at Chopping Moon curiously, only to find that although Chopyue had a fundamental consciousness source of Youhabach, it was formed in Kurosaki Ichigo's body after all, so it was inevitable that it was still affected by some influence, which means that Chozuki still recognized Kurosaki Ichigo as his 'master'.
"No wonder he didn't hesitate to hand over 'all the power' to Ichigo Kurosaki later, so that he could cast the moonless!"
This makes sense, if there is no such connection, Chozuki can completely not accept any request from Kurosaki Ichigo.
In other words, Chopyue has his own preferences, but once the master gives a clear order, he at most sets some tests for Kurosaki Ichigo as the master according to the 'rules of death', and he can't simply refuse the 'reasonable request'.
Even in this case, Ethan still finds it troublesome, so he still tends to let Kurosaki Ichigo erase the self-consciousness of the moon and completely turn those powers into his own.
It's a pity that Ichigo Kurosaki and Ethan's thoughts are not on the same channel, and he has no way to fulfill Ethan's request to make Slash Moon disappear.
"What?
β......β
Kurosaki Ichigo was silent, judging from his expression, the reason should not be so simple, maybe there are more complicated thoughts, such as ...... Feel that the moon is a living being, and he does this kind of behavior to let 'others' die?
As for the willingness to accept the power of Moon Slashing and Void White to cast Wuyue later, it was because the situation was already very critical, and he himself had to pay a considerable price, so there would be no bad feelings.
Thinking about this, Ethan knew that he would definitely not cultivate in the direction he had arranged.
Ethan is not dissatisfied, everyone has their own ideas, and he is not prepared to force Kurosaki Ichigo to agree with his own philosophy and do what he wants.
"Now that you've made your mind, go ahead with it. β
Kurosaki Ichigo chose to continue according to his own ideas, but Ethan's behavior was not meaningless, at least Kurosaki Ichigo knew that he had stronger strength, and was suppressed by his own Tsukizuki, and Chozuki also said a little bit about the situation, so that Kurosaki Ichigo had a better understanding of his own strength.
When he heard that there was still a void power in his body, he was a little panicked, but Ethan, who was watching the excitement from the side, directly calmed him.
"The kind of power used by your good friend Chadu Taihu is also relatively close to the power of the void in terms of the nature of the spirit child, do you think the Chadu Taihu is the void?"
With such a stark example in front of him, Kurosaki Ichigo gradually understood what Ethan meant when he said that power is just a tool, and what results will be caused depends entirely on the user.
He finally understood why Ethan had been letting him cultivate the ability to control his own powerβif he only followed the instinct of power, then he would become a slave to power: whatever the nature of power, this person would also lean to that side.
"You already saw my situation?"
"Your control over power is so bad that you don't know how to hide it, and you certainly can't hide it from my eyes. β
β......β
Kurosaki Ichigo is a little strange, his situation is so obvious, why didn't other Shini find out?
"Initially, your power was hidden under Rukia's Reaper's powers!"
Ethan looked at the image of the uncle next to him.
"Later, your slashing knife did some disguise in order to hide the real situation, and people who are not extremely sensitive to Lingzi and have studied deeply will not find out your actual situation. β
Another point, Kurosaki Ichigo's spiritual power is too huge, most people are shocked by his spiritual pressure, no one is entangled in the specific nature of it, not to mention that the aura of death on Kurosaki Ichigo's 'surface' is very strong, and Chopyue has spent a lot of effort to cover up the truth.
"And what the hell am I now?"
"A human being who can use spiritual powers. β
Ethan looked at Ichigo Kurosaki with an expression of 'what's there to worry about?' "Don't you want to be a human anymore?"
β......β
Kurosaki Ichigo pondered it and realized that what Ethan said made sense.
He is not a god of death, nor is he a void, as for the power of the exterminator, he has never learned that kind of thing at all, and of course he is not a exterminator.
Speaking of which, he actually had the same power as Ishida Yuryu, which made him feel strange - he remembered that Ishida Yuryu had said that he was the last exterminator. As a result, he also has the power of an exterminator, maybe there are other exterminators in this world hidden among ordinary people?
Kurosaki Ichigo didn't know that he had discovered the hidden truth, he just wondered where did his Exterminator power come from?
"Your mother is a very gifted pure-blood exterminator. β
Ethan didn't have the habit of helping people keep secrets, not to mention that there was no need to keep this kind of thing secret in his opinion, so he directly sold Kurosaki Masaaki.
"Huh?"
Kurosaki Ichigo looked at Ethan with his face full of 'This can't be!' with his mouth wide open.
"But your mother lost her power years ago......"
Ichigo Kurosaki suddenly discovers that Ethan seems to know a lot of things.
Looking left and right, in his own spiritual world, there is no need to worry about being heard here, maybe you can ask Ethan more about some secret things?
As soon as his idea came to him, Ethan pressed it as if he saw through it.
"Do you still have time to care about these things? There is not much time left until Rukia's execution, have you figured out how to convince Slash Moon to hand over her power?"
"You're right, the most important thing now is to improve your strength and rescue Rukia. β
Turning his head to look at the slashing moon, although he didn't spend much time together, Kurosaki Ichigo was used to 'living' such a tenant in his body, and even when he was a little confused, he reaffirmed his belief under the reminder of the slashing moon.
"I don't want to kill the Moon Slash as you said, but I need to get the power, and the only way is to convince Uncle Moon to hand over those powers!"
"How to convince?"
Ichigo Kurosaki drew his sword.
"As long as ......"
"It doesn't have to be that way. β
Slash Moon, who had been silent, spoke again, saying that he was willing to 'release a part' of the true Shini power and part of the void power that he had suppressed to Ichigo.
As Ichigo's slashing sword, if the owner has already learned of the situation and made a clear request, the slashing moon cannot refuse.
However, as a slasher, it has the power to test the host: if the master's strength is insufficient, then the slasher can not hand over stronger power.
This seems to be some kind of protection from the Slasher for the host, and the host must prove that it is qualified if they want to use more power.
Of course, this so-called test is in Ethan's opinion, but Kurosaki Ichigo has no opinion on this.
"I'll prove it!"
Things come full circle and back to square one, Kurosaki Ichigo wants to continue to fight with Slash Moon in order to prove that he is qualified to use more powers, and Slash Moon also promises not to suppress the two powers he doesn't like, and even instructs Kurosaki Ichigo on how to use these powers correctly: the moment the Slashing Blade is formed, he will understand his own abilities, and the host will learn from the Slashing Sword.
Chopping Moon specially reminded Kurosaki Ichigo: The power of the void is very dangerous, and if Kurosaki Ichigo can't control this part of the power of the void well, it is likely that there will be a big problem.
"That's not something you need to worry about!"
After Ethan said this, he turned around and left Kurosaki Ichigo's spiritual world, and not long after he came out, Kurosaki Ichigo also came to his senses.
There is a difference in time between the real world and the spiritual world, and if you stay in the spiritual world for a long time, the real world may only pass for a moment.
So Ethan didn't know how long Kurosaki Ichigo chatted with Chozuki after he left, but he could clearly feel that the spiritual pressure on Kurosaki Ichigo's body had increased significantly.
"Next, you don't need to use the Divine Transformation Body to cultivate, just practice with me!"
Through actual combat, this part of the improved strength will be transformed into substantial combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
With the current rate of Kurosaki Ichigo's progress, maybe he will soon be able to master the 'Sky Lock Moon Slashing Moon' mode that I don't know if it counts.
After gaining more spiritual power to use, Kurosaki Ichigo found that his strength was rapidly improving, and the battle with Ethan also allowed him to adapt to these newly acquired powers more quickly.
If this continues, even if you can't learn it, you should be able to save Rukia, right?
Just when he regained confidence in himself, someone suddenly broke into this secret base, which seemed to be impossible to be found.
"Koiji?"
Koiji Asani, who wanted to find a quiet place to practice, accidentally found this secret base and found Ichigo Kurosaki, who was practicing.
After showing that he was not hostile, Koiji also brought new news: Rukia's execution time has been advanced again, and the latest time is noon tomorrow!
Ethan glanced at Yeichi next to him, which meant that Aizen was no longer willing to wait, or that Aizen had already done all his preparations, and was about to take Rukia's final prize.
"Haven't you and Kisuke ever thought about covering up the entrance to the secret base?"
"Actually, there was hiding, but we've been gone for so long, and those things have long since failed. β
After Koiji Asai and Ichigo Kurosaki finished talking about the situation, they turned their gaze to Yoichi and Ethan.
As a team that has only joined the Thirteenth Team of the Imperial Court in recent decades, and has just become the vice-captain of Asani Koiji, he has never met these two.
This doesn't mean that he doesn't know them, after all, these two are not very famous in the Ling Court!
For Aisani Koiji, Ethan's name has a very different meaning, as he is the vice-captain of the Rokuban team, and his captain is none other than Ethan's student Shiraya Kuchiki.
"It's an honor to meet you, I'm the vice captain of the Rokuban team, Koiji Sani!"
