The Fusion of Hollow and Quincy
Since Kaname Tōsen was already enveloped by the Suzumushi, when World-Crossing Principle launched his attack, the insects simply grazed across his skin, leaving no room for maneuver.
Unless the opponent releases their Bankai, it's almost impossible to escape the attack.
Tokoyo Misao quietly watched the rapidly moving Kaname Tōsen.
At this moment, his pupils no longer shone with a simple silver light; a black light also swirled within them.
Through the combined effects of Eternal Eyes and World-Crossing Principle, in his eyes, Kaname Tōsen had already become a humanoid form composed of Reishi.
Each time you use Shunpo, your feet stomp on the ground, releasing, mobilizing, changing direction, and condensing nodes of Reishi.
The trend in the direction of travel is superimposed on the field of view in the form of halo trails and highlighted nodes.
In short, he can see cause and effect.
This is different from predicting the future.
When Tokoyo Misao saw his opponent preparing to exert force, the power was transmitted through his shoulder to his arm and wrist, and finally gathered on the blade.
In normal times, Tokoyo Misao could also predict this information through visual inspection and Reishi perception.
However, with the superposition of Eternal Eyes and World-Crossing Principle, all these actions are directly presented as a visual causal chain, fully displayed in his pupils.
Therefore, even if Kaname Tōsen increase his Shunpo to its full power now, his body would remain stationary for no more than 0.001 seconds.
His final landing point was always under Tokoyo Misao's control.
Even so, the difference in their Rei'i Grade is still too great.
Even if you know how the opponent will move and how they will attack.
Even if Kaname Tōsen all out, he might still not be able to react in time.
To fight a peak Third-Class Spiritual Pressure Seventh-Class Rei'i spiritual power is, in anyone's eyes, suicidal.
Tokoyo Misao's lips curled into a smile.
It's precisely because of the Hell difficulty that it's more fun, isn't it?
He took a small breath, closed his eyes, opened his palms forward, and gently touched his lips together twice.
"Inscription."
The black information flow that had been fully analyzed and understood by the Suzumushi transformed into a black thread.
The message gradually climbed from the tip of Tokoyo Misao's index finger to his forearm, Inscription it onto his arm.
10, 20, 30... until all the information about the surrounding environment has been Inscription.
Tokoyo Misao suddenly opened his eyes; his pupils had turned completely black.
Seeing this change, Kaname Tōsen, who had been Shunpo using Tokoyo Misao to move around Tokoyomi no Morishō, suddenly felt as if he were facing Lord Aizen.
It is equally transparent, and equally unfathomable.
"Absolutely impossible!"
Kaname Tōsen shouted, throwing away the thought that had suddenly come to mind.
How could this kid possibly be compared to Lord Aizen?
The next moment, his figure appeared behind Tokoyo Misao.
With a soft "plop," a spurt of bright red blood gushed out.
A sharp pain shot through Kaname Tōsen's heart, and his blood seemed to flow uncontrollably, as if a tap had been turned on.
How is that possible?
He stepped backward again, his feet barely touching the air, and quickly used his Reishi to stitch up the wound.
He stood still, not continuing his attack, his mind replaying the scene from just moments ago.
Kaname Tōsen has already used all his power.
The speed of an advanced Shunpo is far beyond what Seventh-Class Rei'i cultivator could possibly react to.
Not to mention that the opponent uses Shunpo, how could he possibly be faster than him and launch an attack after being the one who strikes first?
But just now when I moved behind him...
Kaname Tōsen's eyes widened suddenly as he realized what was happening.
It wasn't that Tokoyo Misao was faster than him.
Instead, Misao had already predicted that he would appear from that position and placed the blade there in advance.
He foolishly rushed forward and ran right into the other person's blade.
Sweat kept seeping from Kaname Tōsen's forehead.
He simply couldn't understand how Tokoyo Misao could do such a thing.
Even if he used his Shikai to increase his Spiritual Power by 5 times—no, even if he increased it by 10 times—it still wouldn't be comparable to his own at the peak of the Third-Class Spiritual Pressure, when he had used his Bankai.
But how could this guy sense my location and weaknesses in advance, and wait for me to run into them?
He gritted his teeth, and his figure disappeared again, this time appearing above Tokoyo Misao's head.
But the moment he appeared, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
He immediately stomped his feet on the air and used Shunpo to increase the distance.
He looked down and saw blood flowing from the hole in his abdomen.
It was predicted in advance again.
He looked over in silence, without continuing his attack.
Chapter 76 The Fusion of Hollows and Quincy
Two figures in black robes, their Reishi concealed, looked down at the battlefield.
The two were none other than Sōsuke Aizen and Gin Ichimaru, who had been hiding all along.
Gin Ichimaru shifted his gaze to the direction of Kaname Tōsen Bankai, tucked his hands into his long sleeves, and spoke with a smile:
"Captain Aizen, Tokoyo Misao's abilities are a bit strange."
Sōsuke Aizen smiled and extended one hand, holding the Zanpakuto Enrakyōten in his palm.
After he chanted rapidly, a green stream of information appeared around him.
These information streams constantly feed back to him, reflecting all the information received from his surroundings.
He smiled and said, "I see. This is Tokoyo Misao's true ability; he can receive all information within a certain radius."
Gin Ichimaru turned his head and looked over, asking with some confusion:
"It's just receiving information. Even if it reveals Kaname Tōsen's location, it couldn't possibly have this effect. It's practically like predicting the future."
"He was a bit careless, but we can't blame him entirely. After all, Tokoyo Misao only has a Seventh-Class Rei'i, not even reaching the Captain-level."
"However, Tokoyo Misao's information gathering and judgment abilities are quite good."
Using his Zanpakuto, he gathered information about his surroundings and quickly assessed the situation in his mind, anticipating the attack to be launched.
This creates the illusion of predicting the future, but is fundamentally different.
Aizen waved his hand, dispelling the effect of the World-Crossing Principle imitated by the Enrakyōten, and at the same time, a Reishi Orb in his sleeve instantly vanished.
"I see." Gin Ichimaru nodded, and couldn't help but admire, "I didn't expect Tokoyo Misao to have such strong thinking abilities."
"That's definitely a bit too strong." A glint flashed in Aizen's eyes.
Just now, when Aizen imitated World-Crossing Principle's ability, he quickly received the information transmitted back from his surroundings.
These messages crashed into his mind like a tsunami.
Even with Aizen's abilities, he would need to think for a while to find the information he wanted from this massive flow of information.
"Tokoyo Misao can quickly filter out the information he wants during battle and predict the direction Kaname Tōsen attack; this ability is extremely powerful."
Aizen didn't know was that World-Crossing Principle's ability was simply to gather information.
However, when combined with the power of Eternal Eyes, it becomes a completely different story.
Gin Ichimaru turned his head to another battlefield and said, "Do you need me to take action, Captain Aizen?"
Meanwhile, Isshin Shiba was already suppressing Blade Hollow.
Moreover, judging from the way his Reiatsu was surging, he seemed about to use Bankai.
"Then let's make our move, Gin. Prevent him from using Bankai." Aizen nodded.
Standing a thousand meters in the air, Gin Ichimaru raised his right hand and slid it down sharply towards Isshin Shiba's back.
The moment he finished his movement, a long gash appeared on the back of Isshin Shiba, who was about to Bankai.
Blood spurted out, interrupting his charge.
"He probably can't Bankai now." Gin Ichimaru put his hands back into his sleeves and looked at Kaname Tōsen again. "Should I help with this?"
Aizen smiled and said, "Tokoyo Misao is a noble family; your intervention would break his heart."
"Hasn't he already taken his revenge? He wiped out the Tsunayashiro Clan."
Gin Ichimaru's back hunched slightly, as if he was about to snatch Kaname Tōsen's prey.
"Didn't I say that he's pursuing justice?" Aizen stopped Gin Ichimaru from making a move.
Just then, Kaname Tōsen was injured in the stomach again and stood still, no longer attacking.
"He didn't really lose, did he?" Gin Ichimaru's tone was amused, with a hint of schadenfreude.
Suddenly, a dramatic change occurred on the other side of the battlefield, and the two of them turned to look at the same time.
A human Quincy intervened on the battlefield and saved Isshin Shiba, who was on the verge of defeat.
She wielded the Reishi Longbow and launched an attack on the Blade Hollow.
This Quincy is quite powerful, at least stronger than the one they encountered last time they came to the World of the Living.
However, given this level of power, it's virtually impossible to completely eliminate this special type of creature.
The two were right; after only a few exchanges, the Quincy woman knew she was no match for him.
At this moment, Isshin Shiba was already seriously injured and lying on the ground.
The woman seemed to have figured something out, and her eyes gradually hardened.
She aimed again with the Reishi Bow.
Blade Hollow charged at her head-on.
But the woman didn't shoot the Reishi arrow; instead, Blade Hollow bit her shoulder.
The Blade Hollow itself is a special individual modified to corrupt Soul Reaper.
Therefore, when it bites the Quincy, it naturally channels its power into the wound.
According to Aizen's plan, this Hollow would inject a small portion of its own power while simultaneously biting into and absorbing the power from the Soul Reaper's body.
But the Quincy opened his arms and hugged the modified Hollow tightly, then activated the Quincy's unique ability— Reishi Manipulation.
This Quincy actually actively absorbed Hollow Reishi into his body.
"What on earth is she thinking? Hollow Reishi are poison to Quincy, yet she's actively inhaling them. Does she have a death wish?"
Gin Ichimaru was utterly shocked; he never expected that human would choose to do such a thing.
Quincy cannot directly absorb Hollow Reishi.
However, this modified special individual is actively emitting its own Reishi.
This is why the Quincy was able to absorb it directly into his body through this passage.
Just a few minutes later, the modified Hollow vanished completely, merging entirely into the Quincy's body.
"Captain Aizen, this..." Gin Ichimaru turned around, only to see a scene that shocked him.
Sōsuke Aizen always wore a gentle yet controlling smile.
At this moment, an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face.
His mouth gaped open, revealing his teeth, and his eyes were fixed on the Quincy woman on the street below. The voice emanating from his throat was filled with fervor:
