Have you been defeated?
It turns out that I am still so weak! My full strength cannot defeat his Shikai. If it were Bankai...
What a disgusting feeling! This feeling of weakness, this feeling of weakness, why? Why do you have to make me feel it again, why!
Power, power, I want more powerful power!
"Ah!"
Another mouthful of blood spurted out, and Shadow, who didn't know how far he rushed, finally stopped and fell heavily to the ground.
"Bang!"
In the crater made by the smash, the eyes were so blurred that they could no longer see anything, but they were still barely open. The blood seemed to have drained from the deep wounds. Shadow's face was pale and without any blood, and it looked particularly terrifying.
The next second, Shadow finally closed her eyelids unbearably, and passed out completely. Her breathing could not be detected.
······
I don't know how much time passed, but when I felt alive again, Shadow opened my dry eyes with difficulty, and found myself in a rather simple room, well! It would be more appropriate to say it is simple, rather it is dilapidated.
After moving his body, although there was still some pain, it was generally OK. It seemed that he had been sleeping for a long time again!
As if he heard some noise, the door that seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind was opened. Yoruichi Shihōin ran in and saw a family of Shadow who opened his eyes. The worry on his face immediately disappeared, and the corners of his mouth curved with a hint of joy.
"Shadow, you're awake! How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"
Shadow nodded slowly and said, "Lady Yoruichi, are you okay?"
As soon as he said the words, Shadow realized that his voice was dry and hoarse, as harsh as a grinding wheel rubbing against the ground. It was countless times worse than Shinji Hirako's drake voice.
Grinning, Yoruichi Shihōin stroked Shadow's black hair and said softly, "Well! What else can I do? Don't worry, we have escaped Soul Society, and now we are World of the Living in Bakufu Era. There is no problem anymore!"
"Really!"
Shadow was silent, the hands under the quilt were clenched tightly together, and the fingertips were almost inserted into the flesh.
But Yoruichi Shihōin was still sitting by the bed and said, "In the past few days, Kisuke has treated Hirako and Kensei with Hōgyoku. They converted them all into Visored, and then we temporarily settled down in this abandoned house, oh! By the way, Shadow, you still don't know what Hōgyoku is!"
"Hōgyoku was invented by Kisuke when he was studying the soul strengthening experiment again. Its function is to break the boundary between Bleach and the virtual. Aizen used something similar to it to conduct experiments on Hirako and the others..."
"Well! And..."
Yoruichi Shihōin didn't listen to a word of Shadow. He didn't dare to be interested in those things at all. He didn't care about Shinigami Hollowfication at all.
As if he guessed that Shadow was not listening to her at all, Yoruichi Shihōin was not surprised. He sighed and said helplessly, "Stop thinking nonsense. Old Man Yama also suffered serious injuries after you, so you just ended up in a tie. Shadow, you did not lose to him!"
"······"
Shadow is silent. For him, if he cannot kill the enemy, he loses. What's more, he tried his best, but Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto didn't. So, even if he is injured, what can he do?
Looking at Shadow who was still sullen and unmoved at all, Yoruichi Shihōin shook his head helplessly.
······
The sky gradually dimmed, and the light of the setting sun enveloped the earth. It was a beautiful sunset, but Shadow had no intention to think about it, or in other words, he didn't even pay attention when he came out.
Shaking his head, Shadow slowly moved his stiff body, stood up, put on his clothes, and walked out expressionlessly.
"Shadow!"
Shinji Hirako looked at Shadow who pushed in the door with some surprise. God knows how surprised he was. You know, he would come to him. This was something that he never dared to think about before.
"Hey!" Shadow closed the door and said in an indifferent tone; "Tell me, so that I can have more power!"
"More powerful power!" Shinji Hirako was stunned, and then waved his hand; "Well! Don't make such a joke, you are already strong! The Reiatsu is so huge that it cannot be matched, plus the famous Soul Society Swordsmanship..."
"Stop being so wordy!" Shadow interrupted, his face still as cold as ever.
Shinji Hirako looked at the unmoved Shadow and couldn't help but sigh and said seriously, "Do you really want to get stronger power? Even if you have to give up your most important thing!"
The dark pupils suddenly dilated. His most important thing was Yoruichi Shihōin! How could he give up!
"Hey!" Shinji Hirako shook his head helplessly; "Then, if you have to choose one between the two! What would you choose?"
"······"
Silence, if it were the same before, Shadow would definitely choose Yoruichi Shihōin without hesitation. However, now, being defeated or even dying, this weak and helpless feeling makes Shadow almost go crazy. People who have not experienced it deeply cannot understand that feeling.
Shadow All his pride and confidence ceased to exist the moment he was knocked away. However, the ferocity of the beast made him only need more powerful power, and then kill that guy.
"Think about it for yourself!" Touching the strange mask on his face, Shinji Hirako sighed; "Power is so easy to obtain. As the saying goes, if you want to gain something, you must first lose something!"
"······"
······
"Hirako!"
"Yoruichi!"
Looking at Yoruichi Shihōin with his arms folded on his chest and leaning against the wall, Shinji Hirako was a little surprised, but also a little understanding.
"Shadow He..." turned his head and Yoruichi Shihōin spoke with some concern.
"I've already said it!" Shinji Hirako touched his head and said with a bitter smile; "Now, it depends on his own choice!"
"Really!" Yoruichi Shihōin sighed and said, "This battle with Old Man Yama gave him a big blow!"
"Well! There's nothing we can do about this! Perhaps in Shadow's view, victory can only be considered as defeating or killing the opponent!" Shinji Hirako said helplessly; "If we attack with all our strength, Shadow's strength is already one of the top few Soul Society. I'm not sure what will happen next with that shocking sword!"
"This guy is even more stubborn than before!"
Yoruichi Shihōin also looked at the closed door, not knowing what he was thinking, and sighed deeply for a long time.
"I just hope that Shadow won't go astray for the sake of power, just like Aizen did!" Shinji Hirako shook his head and said inexplicably.
"No!" Yoruichi Shihōin said, she believed in him and always believed in him.
