"Ah""
Seeing Shinigami in front of her suddenly draw her knife, the girl screamed in fright and her face turned pale again.
She obviously cooperated well, but I wonder why the other party suddenly wanted to kill her?
But as soon as she uttered the exclamation, she was immediately stopped.
The Shinigami in front of him had no murderous intention, he just raised the knife and did not swing the knife towards himself.
The girl's face relaxed, and she saw the Zanpakuto light up for a while Clear Light.
The light converged into a thread, shot out suddenly, and penetrated straight into his chest.
An extremely powerful will suddenly descended on her.
In front of this will, any existence seems too small.
The girl's eyes widened with an incredible expression. She looked at Shinigami in front of her, as if she was facing an insurmountable mountain.0
"This is--what?!"
Ordinary Shinigami never has such a strong sense of oppression!
Who is this person dressed as Shinigami in front of me?!
At this moment, the figure of Yhwach appeared in her mind.
At that moment, the grandeur of the other party's will made her feel as if she was facing their Quincy Your Majesty.
The same high above, the same boundless.
It's full of majesty, making people afraid to look directly at it!
After Kenma used his ability to connect to the name Quincy, he slowly closed his eyes.
With her will sinking, she went to the deepest part of the girl's heart to search for clues.
Yhwach is the ancestor of all Quincy, and this girl once drank the blood of Yhwach, and Awakening gained the power of Schrift.
With these two levels of connection, Kenma only needs to follow these connections and trace the source to find the existence of Yhwach!
In a daze, he seemed to see a suspended Quincy Pentagram, blooming with blue light.
But when he continued to go deeper and entered the five-pointed star to find the root, he was blocked by a wall of nothingness.
Vaguely, he sensed a half-dead aura through the wall.
Although there is no evidence, Kenma believes that that breath is undoubtedly Yhwach!
Just when he was about to cut off the wall in front of him, the breath suddenly disappeared and could no longer be found.
"Huh?"
Kenma slowly opened his eyes, a trace of surprise flashed across his face!
Yhwach, actually escaped his exploration?
No, now that Yhwach is dead and his will has not been revived, it is impossible for him to react so smartly.
"It's Haschwalth."
Haschwalth is the half body of Yhwach, and can even take over Yhwach's power when he sleeps.
It is not impossible to avoid his exploration just now through certain means.
"What a pity--"
Kenma looked regretful.
He was just a little bit close to finding the location of Yhwach.
Haschwalth's reaction is indeed fast enough!
Now, Kenma has been confirmed, and Haschwalth is indeed still alive!
Yhwach was indeed taken away by him and hid.
Shimazu Toyohisa on the side saw Kenma's face and couldn't help but ask, "Kenma, what's wrong? What's going on?"
Kenma looked at the soldiers around him and shook his head slightly.
"Grandfather, now is not the time to talk about this. I will tell you later."
He turned his head and looked at the four Sternritter members kneeling in front.
"You guys, if you have some strength, I'll give you a chance."
"Do you want to surrender and come to my side?"
Candice sensed the magnificent will just now, fleeting, and slowly straightened up.
Looking at the other companions around him, his pretty face covered in blood and dirt suddenly flashed with many tangles and uncertainties.
The remaining three people, the short Liltotto, turned to look at Candice, struggle flashed in his eyes.
Cang Du lowered his face and remained silent.
The robot's body was severely damaged, almost half of its body was destroyed, and the wires inside were exposed in the incomplete parts, flashing with little electric lights.
Under the broken mask, the eye area lit up with red light, flashing continuously.
Its wonderful body immediately caught Kenma's attention.
He walked over and looked up and down for a moment, with an expression of interest on his face.
"It's actually a robot."
After getting closer, Kenma can even smell a smell of lubricating oil, mixed with a hint of burnt circuit smell.
Although the robot was seriously injured, its thinking and speech functions were not significantly damaged.
It raised its head, looked at Kenma, and made a mechanical sound.
"Shinigami--If we surrender, can you let these Quincy go?"
Facing the robot's inquiry, Kenma did not answer at all.
He observed it carefully. After seeing enough, he turned to Yoichi and said, "Give this robot to the doctor and see if our technical capabilities can analyze it."
"Understood."
Kenma nodded slightly.
If the structure of this robot can be successfully analyzed, it may be possible to copy it in large quantities later.
In the future, batches of robot armies may even appear under his command.
Tireless and not afraid of pain, he will strictly carry out his orders until death!
"As for the remaining three people, take them down and ask Sengoku to send someone to give them some advice."
After Kenma finished speaking, he no longer cared and walked towards the crowd.
Seeing that Shinigami walking further and further away, Candice opened his mouth and couldn't help but said, "Wait, I surrender, I surrender!"
We will all surrender!"
Seeing that Shinigami still didn't stop, the frightened girl became more anxious and turned to look at her companion beside her.
"Liltotto, say something too!"
"Now that Quincy has been defeated, do we really want to be buried with the empire? We are obviously still so young----"
Although Liltotto is a girl, her mind is much stronger than that of Candice. Although her face is equally anxious, she can still retain a trace of calmness.
She whispered, "Bichi, please calm down. Didn't the enemy say they would send someone to persuade us?"
"But"
"There's nothing wrong with it. People are fighting for their own good. No matter how anxious we are, what can we decide?"
She looked at Cang Du on the side. "What about you, what are you going to do?"
Cang Du coughed twice and opened his mouth with great difficulty.
Just as he was about to speak, he felt a burning pain in his chest and couldn't help but take a breath.
"Hiss~"
His body was obviously stronger than steel, yet he was defeated by an old man with fists and was even seriously injured.
What an irony.
"I--we were defeated--completely defeated. Is there any other way?"
Kenma didn't take these people's whispers to heart.
Whether they surrender or fight to the end, he has plenty of ways to squeeze the value of these people to the limit.
In the crowd of people, Kenma suddenly saw Shimazu Toyohisa with a calm face, not knowing what he was thinking.
Sensing Kenma's inquiring gaze, Shimazu Toyohisa thought for a moment and said, "Kenma, this time we defeated Quincy, which is half of our revenge."
"Grudge?"
Kenma reacted, turned to look at him, shook his head and said, "Brother - he died to protect me, what does it have to do with these Quincy?"
Shimazu Toyohisa's mouth moved slightly, his face was calm, and he said in a deep voice, "I can't blame you. If we want to take responsibility, it's our fault, which killed Takahisa - if I hadn't ordered you to explore that open space, maybe he wouldn't have -"
Yoichi hit him twice with his elbow. Toyohisa received the signal and sighed.
Yoichi breathed a sigh of relief when Toyohisa stopped talking.
"Kenma, Takahisa's revenge, sooner or later we will find Shinigami of Seireitei to take revenge!"
"My brother's matter has been going on for such a long time, so I can still do it now - besides, I have seen through it a long time ago."
Kenma shook his head expressionlessly, his voice neither happy nor sad.
He waved to a few people around him.
"I'm not a little girl, so I don't have that much sentimentality."
"You go and do other things, I'll think about what to do next."
Although Kenma looked like everything was normal, Yoichi could tell that he was in a bad mood at the moment and hurriedly pulled Shimazu Toyohisa away.
Kenma randomly found a broken wall and sat down, looking dimly at Yoichi and others in the distance, where they were placing these prisoners.
Shisui beside him opened his mouth, gritted his teeth and asked, "Sir, do you have any grudge against these Quincys?"
"Huh?" Kenma took a face test and looked at Shisui calmly, "Are you curious about me?"
"My subordinates dare not!"
Shisui quickly lowered his head, with fear on his face.
After a few seconds, he didn't hear Kenma's scolding, so he bravely raised his head and saw Kenma still looking at him.
Under that calm face, I don't know what he was thinking.
Shisui was shocked, seeing that although Kenma was in a bad mood, he was not angry, so he nodded mysteriously.
"Yes, sir, I want to know about your past."
"You are honest."
Kenma sighed and said softly, "It's not a spectacular thing, but it's boring. It doesn't hurt to tell you."
O
Shisui took a step forward with a serious look on his face.
Kenma A flash of memory flashed across his face.
"Grandfather and Nobunaga - at that time, the three of them still had Boo Soul Society ambitions, so they took in a large number of idle people and formed the Underworld organization. I was one of them."
"I felt hungry and thought they would take care of my food, so I joined them. It was precisely because I had the skills to become Shinigami that I received their key training."
"At that time, among the people they took in, I was not the only one with Shinigami qualifications, there was another person - Grandfather who also valued him more, and even gave him the name of his elder, Shimazu Takahisa."
"And I attached myself to Takahisa and recognized him as my brother. Together we accepted Grandfather's teachings and taught us how to read and write. Grandfather also taught us his Jigen-ryu Swordsmanship."
Shisui looked at the stunned Kenma, bit his lower lip, and said softly, "Then this Lord Takahisa--"
"Dead."
Kenma's tone is extremely dull.
Shisui thought to himself, this is indeed the case.
Seeing Kenma so calm, for some reason, Shisui felt suffocated for no reason.
I heard Kenma continue to say, "At that time, Grandfather saw that an area suddenly became vacant nearby, and for some reason all the souls living there died, so he sent me and Takahisa to take people there to investigate."
"Then I met Shinigami who came to work. At that time, those Shinigami wanted to kill us, and Takahisa stood up and said that he was willing to die in order to let his brother go -"
"Under Takahisa's pleading, those Shinigami were moved by his sincerity and agreed to let me go - and in turn, Takahisa committed suicide by committing seppuku."
Kenma turned his head and looked at Shisui, with a smile on his face that seemed to be sarcastic.
"Speaking of which, the team leader of Shinigami is a very enthusiastic person. He personally made mistakes for Takahisa and let me go as promised."
Shisui pursed his lips.
Seeing Kenma suddenly stop speaking, and after a moment of silence, he tentatively said, "So, the Lord later entered Shino Academy, and even became Shikokuin Family's son-in-law, just to avenge Lord Takahisa."
"No."
Kenma's answer made Shisui slightly stunned.
He looked surprised and looked at Kenma's calm face, revealing deep confusion.
"I have never thought about it this way. After all, I am a selfish character, otherwise I would not have agreed to Takahisa to die for me."
"Shisui, why do you think the same as Grandfather and the others? Do I seem to be such an emotional person?"
Shisui nodded secretly.
Kenma This forced gesture made him feel a sudden pain in his heart, but he did not dare to say anything.
Kenma said, "After Takahisa died, Grandfather and the others were so sad that they gave up their unrealistic ambitions of conquering Soul Society, and I joined Shino Academy for the sake of strength."
"Shisui, you also know that I was once called [Three Elites] together with Aizen and Kyouka, but my qualifications are not as good as Aizen's, nor as powerful as theirs."
"Since I can't become a strong man, I have this idea of gaining status. That's why when faced with the solicitation of my father-in-law, I agreed to marry Shikokuin Family - in this way, I can reach the sky in one step and become Great Noble of Soul Society."
"Speaking of which, this is my selfish intention, and it is not as noble as you think."
Shisui Listening to Kenma's calm narration, it seemed that he had seen through the layers of disguise behind Kenma's toughness.
His expression changed, something suddenly occurred to him, and he frowned and asked, "At that time - why did Shinigami kill the adults, and what happened to those souls that disappeared out of thin air?"
"Shisui, you should know that the existence of Shinigami is regarded as the balancer of Three Worlds, right?"
Shisui nodded.
Kenma sneered, "Later I also found out everything. At that time, Shinigami wanted to destroy Quincy who was still in Human World. It was because Quincy's destruction of the soul would break the balance of Three Worlds."
"Before going to war with those Quincy, Shinigami made a decision. The first thing to do is to kill a group of Soul Society souls to restore the Three Worlds balance."
"At that time, we were just the unlucky ones who accidentally got involved."
Hearing this, Shisui was stunned on the spot.
He naturally knows the responsibilities of Shinigami, and also knows that Shinigami and Quincy of Human World had a battle in the early years.
But I never thought that it could actually involve Kenma.
This is really -- things are unpredictable.
"It's funny, this is the essence of Shinigami."
Kenma shook his head, with a sarcastic smile on his face.
"But then I also met Shinigami who was on a soul-clearing mission."
"Then Sir--"
"After all, he was performing a mission - I was able to survive, even though it was Takahisa's sacrifice, but in the end he softened his heart and let me go. Speaking of which, he was kind to me.

Kenma sneered.
"So I didn't relent and killed him through a mission."
"But in order to let him rest in peace, I also sent his family to reunite with him."
