Alice Gave Up Thinking / Gabriel Strikes Back

Gabriel casually waved away the dust. "These little tricks are useless against me. Two of the three powers within you are sealed, so what makes you think you can fight me?"

The Yamabuki Chidori in the red smoke remained silent, as if the person had already left.

Gabriel frowned slightly, then suddenly realized something. He pointed at the ground, and a beam of light exploded, dispersing the red smoke. At this moment Yamabuki Chidori had already rushed to Alice's side.

"You dare!" Gabriel immediately understood what Yamabuki Chidori was about to do.

Two of the three powers within Yamabuki Chidori are now sealed, and the culprit is Alice. Moreover, when Yamabuki Chidori pulled Gabriel into the Small World just now, Gabriel was afraid of affecting Alice, so he made Alice stay away from this place.

He never expected that after the collapse of the Small World, Yamabuki Chidori's first target would not be herself, but Alice had already hidden far away.

"Run!!!" Gabriel shouted.

However, Yamabuki Chidori's Flash Step was learned from Shunshun Shidō, and in almost an instant, Yamabuki Chidori was already within a thousand meters of Alice.

Even if Gabriel wanted to use "Descent" to appear beside Alice, it would be too late.

"Genesis!"

The second "Genesis" of the Yamabuki Chidori created Small World that directly pulled Alice into it.

Gabriel's expression had turned quite ugly.

No matter how powerful he is, he cannot directly destroy a world. Not even His Majesty, whom he speaks of, could do that.

Yhwach's All-Knowing All-Powerful and omnipotence are not true All-Knowing All-Powerful, but merely choices regarding the future.

More than two hundred years ago in the real world, a top scientist named Laplace proposed a very bizarre theory called the Laplace's Demon.

In this scientist's vision, if there were a supercomputer with infinite computing power, capable of clearly predicting the trajectory of every particle in the universe, it would possess the ability to accurately predict the future.

Countless scientists throughout history have attempted to recreate Laplace 'Laplace's Demon Laplace's Demon, but ultimately found that it was impossible for human science to do so, and that a paradox was involved.

If the Laplace's Demon truly exists, it could predict the trajectory of every particle in the universe, but it could not place itself within that trajectory.

Moreover, calculating the future of the entire universe requires far more energy than the entire universe combined.

In other words, the universe will end the moment the calculation begins.

Even if All-Knowing All-Powerful god truly exists in this world, it is absolutely impossible for Descent upon this universe. He must stand outside the universe; once Descent, the entire universe will collapse.

Hmm? Isn't this the same principle as the demon gods in A Certain Magical Index?

Therefore, Yhwach's All-Knowing All-Powerful were destined from the beginning to be impossible for him to be truly omniscient and omnipotent like the creator gods in mythology.

At this moment, Gabriel could only watch helplessly as his companion was pulled into a completely unknown world, powerless to stop it.

"Alice, the world he created can only last for five minutes. You must hold on!" Gabriel wasn't worried about Yamabuki Chidori regaining her strength; he was worried about Alice's safety.

There is one thing He said that is absolutely true: Angel are loving and merciful. While his other companions may have their own ulterior motives, Yhwach was genuinely good to them and truly loyal to Gabriel.

Alice is pulled back into that familiar alien world, and her mind nearly breaks down.

From the very beginning of the battle Yamabuki Chidori had focused all her attention on Alice, completely unaware of Alice's attire. Now, face to face with Alice, she finally discovered that Alice was wearing several layers of cotton clothing.

It's winter now, so it's normal to feel cold, but wearing so many layers of cotton clothes makes you look like a cotton ball, which is unreasonable no matter how you look at it.

"Are you that afraid of the cold?" Yamabuki Chidori asked.

Alice hugged her shoulders tightly. "Do you even need to tell me? If you hadn't dragged me into that Extreme Cold World, I wouldn't have developed this problem."

Yamabuki Chidori had no intention of wasting words with Alice. He only had five minutes. If he failed to kill Alice within those five minutes, he would be in real danger.

"Bankai, Scarlet Angel." When Yamabuki Chidori arrived in the world she had created, the rules set by Alice no longer applied.

Alice quickly drew her sword.

Prepare to fight the enemy before you to the death.

Alice is actually a well-rounded individual, possessing formidable abilities in both Schrift and physical combat. However, most people are amazed by her Schrift abilities but overlook her inherent strength.

"Flow of Time!" Yamabuki Chidori instantly accelerated his own time, doubling his already rapid speed once more. "Asura Third Sword."

The Scarlet Angel launched its attack from three different points in time. Alice's Book of Creation's power was rendered useless here, and without the power to manipulate time, she could only barely block the present sword, but she couldn't block the attacks from the past and future. Her abdomen and arm were instantly pierced through!

Alice attempted to use the power of the Book of Creation to fight back, but Yamabuki Chidori sneered and said, "I advise you not to struggle. I established the rules when I created this world: Quincy power cannot be used in this world."

In other words, the power of both Quincy will be sealed away.

Damn! Why didn't I think of that when I created this Small World? I was only thinking about gathering information!

Yamabuki Chidori wished she could slap herself across the face.

Okay, let's deal with this one first, then we can deal with the one outside.

Alice's Reiatsu is still there, but she can no longer use the Quincy's various techniques, just like when she sealed Yamabuki Chidori's Zanpakuto ability outside.

What goes around comes around; no one escapes the wrath of Heaven.

Yamabuki Chidori lunged forward in an instant, and the Silver Radiant Angel in her right hand severed Alice's arm with Electrocution force.

Alice gritted her teeth and refused to make a sound.

The moment Alice arrived in this Small World, she foresaw what she would suffer.

"Give me a quick death. I know resistance is futile, and I won't excite you any further." Alice gave up resisting outright. "After I die, my soul will merge with His Majesty's, and I will quietly watch you be killed by Him. Do it!"

Holding the Silver Radiant Angel in his hand, Yamabuki Chidori walked over step by step, but instead of killing Alice directly, he stretched out his hand and spat out many tentacles from his palm. After these tentacles pierced through Alice's body, they began to devour her power.

Don't think that only Yhwach can take away someone else's power; I can too.

Chapter 276: Gabriel's Gabriel

Alice was drained of her life force and turned into a dried-up corpse in the blink of an eye.

Yamabuki Chidori could clearly feel that her Quincy power had increased significantly.

The Reiatsu within his body also increased!

Most importantly, Yamabuki Chidori discovered that she had unexpectedly gained the power of the "Book of Creation" in a short period of time.

This should be a fragment of Yhwach's soul, but it is being assimilated into his own body. Before long, this power will completely belong to him, and at the same time, the power of the Schrift will disappear.

A broad smile spread across Yamabuki Chidori's face. Although the power of the "Book of Creation" wouldn't last long, the egg was enough to cover up that birdman outside.

Yamabuki Chidori closed the Small World as quickly as possible.

Gabriel's heart trembled when he saw Yamabuki Chidori standing there unharmed, and his eyes were filled with deep sorrow when he saw Alice's mummified body.

"I know this is war, and the fighting between the two sides is inevitable. But seeing the corpses of my comrades still saddens me. It seems I can no longer let you live to see His Majesty." Gabriel's voice gradually turned cold.

Yamabuki Chidori gently waved her hand, and a book appeared in her hand— the Book of Creation.

"Seal the Quincy power of everyone within this barrier." Yamabuki Chidori directly wrote this rule in this space, which would last for about ten minutes.

Ten minutes later, the power of the Book of Creation will be completely assimilated into one's own body.

Gabriel's six wings behind him instantly disintegrated.

"What goes around comes around. I don't believe you also possess three powers." Yamabuki Chidori sneered, gripping her twin swords as she approached step by step.

Gabriel closed his eyes in deep sorrow. "It seems you stole Alice's power. Alas, since there's nothing I can do, let me help Alice find complete liberation."

Gabriel unleashed an extremely terrifying Reiatsu.

The intensity of this Reiatsu was almost comparable to that of the Yamabuki Chidori, and at the same time, the six wings that had previously dissipated actually condensed again.

Yamabuki Chidori stared wide-eyed. Could her Book of Creation be a pirated copy?

What's going on? The rules of this space clearly forbid the use of Quincy powers, so why is Gabriel acting like nothing happened? This doesn't make sense!

Gabriel looked at Yamabuki Chidori with an indifferent expression.

"You seem surprised? Didn't I tell you? I possess the Soul King's Liver. Actually, besides the power of the Schrift, I have another special power I call Purification, which can Purification all negative states in my body. This is a special ability granted to me by the Soul King's Liver," Gabriel said. "The reason I didn't use this ability to break the seal on the Book of Creation before is because once the power of the Book of Creation is broken, it will cause great harm to the host. I don't want to hurt Alice, but I won't show mercy to you."

The power of the Soul King?

Is it really that outrageous?

But thinking about it, it makes sense. He awakened the "Genesis" ability after consuming the flesh and blood of the Soul King.

Gabriel possessed the entire Soul King's Liver, so isn't it only natural that he gained some Purification abilities? The liver is, after all, used to Purification toxins from the body.

The Book of Creation shattered instantly, and the backlash struck straight at the soul.

A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Yamabuki Chidori's mouth.

Sure enough, this bird-like figure before them was probably the strongest person in the Wandenreich besides Yhwach.

"Alright, in that case, let's not use any fancy tricks." Yamabuki Chidori was ready to fight to the death.

"Just what I wanted! Angel's Sword!" Gabriel stretched his hand towards the sky, and countless rays of light formed a golden sword.

The next second, Gabriel Descent directly to Yamabuki Chidori's side, his sword slashing down as if splitting the heavens and earth.

Gabriel's demeanor was completely different at this moment.

Gabriel had always wanted to capture Yamabuki Chidori alive, so he inevitably held back during their fight.

But now, watching his friend die right before his eyes, he no longer had any concept of showing mercy.

With Destructive Power imbued into the sword, Yamabuki Chidori activated Space Severance.

When the power of rules, capable of destroying everything, meets the laws of space, which will prevail?

The two blades clashed!

The two figures retreated as soon as they touched, Silver Radiant Angel in Yamabuki Chidori's hand trembled incessantly, the sound of the blade emitting a mournful cry.

Gabriel's Angel's Sword had a very obvious notch, which made Gabriel's expression somewhat unpleasant.

"Truly worthy of being a sword capable of severing space and time." Gabriel a wry smile, then stretched out his hand, and platinum-gold light bloomed in his hand. The light possessed extremely powerful Destructive Power; any matter enveloped by the light would instantly collapse!

Yamabuki Chidori moved swiftly, countering with Infinite Cero as she ran.

The battle between the two has evolved from a real sword fight into a bullet hell game, with overwhelming Cero and a barrage of attacks that can destroy all light.

It gives off a feeling of A Certain Railgun vs. Meltdowner.

The two's relentless large-scale clash caused unprecedented damage to the Seireitei beneath their feet. Nearly 10% of the buildings were completely annihilated in their attacks. Yamabuki Chidori had no time to think about how much of her salary would be deducted for destroying these buildings; she had to kill this formidable enemy first.

Blanch!

Is this guy really a member of the Sternritter?

He's on a completely different level from the other three members of the Sternritter.

The abilities of the four members of the Sternritter have now been revealed.

These are Absolute Zero, Book of Creation, Fate's Dice, and Angel.

There is a clear, insurmountable gap between Gabriel's strength and that of the ordinary Sternritter; he can even use the most forceful means to directly become immune to the rules of the Book of Creation.

This is completely outrageous!

Coupled with his unstoppable Destructive Power, Yamabuki Chidori has reason to doubt whether Yhwach hasn't awakened his All-Knowing All-Powerful, could defeat this subordinate.

"But unfortunately, no matter how strong your Destructive Power is, it's only at the material level. Asura Third Sword."

Three sword lights launched attacks from three different points in time. Gabriel wielded the Angel's Sword and barely blocked the frontal attack from Yamabuki Chidori, but two "X"-shaped scars appeared on his back.

"The ability to launch attacks from different points in time might be a countermeasure to His Majesty. I absolutely... I absolutely must send your information back!" Gabriel's face was pale. His Destructive Power was indeed formidable, but he was still at a disadvantage in the face of the unpredictable spacetime.

If it weren't for the fact that the Soul King's Liver greatly increased his Reiatsu, his strength would only be on par with that of an ordinary Sternritter, and he wouldn't have been able to keep fighting with Yamabuki Chidori for so long.

Chapter 277: Time Stops, Dust Settles

Yamabuki Chidori, having succeeded in her attack, pressed her advantage.

"Space Erasure!"

Gabriel's pupils contracted instantly, a strong sense of fear washing over him. He had always claimed to be a dimension higher than ordinary people, but he was not a truly higher-dimensional being.

According to the world view of Bleach, Shinigami are one level higher than humans, and it is already quite remarkable for an ordinary person to reach the Reiatsu limit of the exorcist Don Kanonji.

To go further, one must become the Grim Reaper.

If we place Gabriel's situation in the World of the Living, he would be considered an ordinary human with relatively strong spiritual power, capable of glimpsing the true world of death, but still remaining at his original level.

If he truly is a legendary high-dimensional being, there's no need for fighting; his mere Descent would destroy the entire world.

Therefore, when faced with the Space Erasure technique, which is completely unreasonable, Gabriel has no choice but to dodge it, and can only use his extremely high speed to escape from the attack range.
