No need to worry."
Luo De smiled slightly: "Soon... you will become just like them."
As the words fell.
Mori Sang suddenly froze, looking down at the causal chains on his chest.
The chains... were wriggling!
The chains, which should have been inanimate objects, now seemed to possess life!
Crunch, crunch...
The chains seemed to suddenly come alive, sprouting countless small mouths filled with sharp teeth, greedily and frantically gnawing at the chains, emitting a series of teeth-aching sounds!
The final erosion!
It came more violently than any previous time!
"Ah, ah, ah, ah—"
"No... no!"
"Stop it! Stop it for me, ah, ah, ah!"
Mori Sang's expression became exceptionally terrified, screaming hysterically!
The chains that had grown from his chest had now completely transformed into greedy ghouls, frantically gnawing at the chain that symbolized his life!
In the past few days, Mori Sang had witnessed countless times how his subordinates, after the chains on their chests were completely eroded, turned into monsters covered with white masks and huge hollows in their chests!
"Save me! Please, save me!"
"Ah, ah, ah—you... demon!"
Mori Sang screamed and wailed in pain, his eyes filled with resentment!
"Ugh, ah, ah..."
Mori Sang's body contorted and curled up in pain, and a black hole was ripped open at the position of the chest buckle.
Immediately afterward, streams of white liquid gushed out from his ears, nose, throat, mouth, and eyes, covering his face like a mask!
"Oh?"
Seeing this situation, Luo De not only did not stop it, but instead said with a look of surprise: "He has already begun to fall, but his soul can still remain intact!"
According to common sense.
When a Plus is corrupted into a 'Hollow,' the process should be that the soul is scattered, then reassembled somewhere, and finally a white mask symbolizing 'Hollow' is formed on the face, and a hollow appears in the chest!
But Mori Sang was different!
The process of his corruption was exactly the opposite, first the white mask and hollow symbolizing 'Hollow' appeared, but the soul still remained intact!
This means that Mori Sang is still resisting!
He still has a glimmer of hope, which is to find his own 'Zanpakuto' in his inner world, and then become a Soul Reaper to reverse the Hollowfication process!
"Not bad..."
Luo De nodded with satisfaction, thinking that he had finally found a 'superior test subject'.
Why not stop him?
Because... there was no need!
"Ah, ah, ah..."
Mori Sang was still screaming in pain, his soul already covered by most of the white liquid, and the white mask on his face, symbolizing 'Hollow,' was becoming clearer and clearer!
Boom—
A violent sound echoed from the bottom of the pit, stirring up howling winds!
Luo De stood quietly in place, then stared at the smoke-filled area in front of him: "Let me see... what you have become."
Buzz!
The spiritual particles scattered in the atmosphere suddenly became boiling, as violent as boiling water!
Whoosh!
The exploding spiritual particles dispersed the smoke and dust, and Mori Sang was now wearing the same Soul Reaper uniform as Luo De, with a standard Zanpakuto in his hand.
Luo De raised his eyelids slightly, revealing a hint of a smile: "He actually really became a Soul Reaper?"
Soul Reaper uniform, Zanpakuto!
These two things, marking the identity of a Soul Reaper, undoubtedly proved that Mori Sang had successfully survived Hollowfication and become a true Soul Reaper!
"This is... the feeling of power!"
After experiencing a brief trance, Mori Sang,
Feeling the power gushing out of his body, he roared angrily: "I will kill you!"
Bang!
With just a light stomp of his foot, the ground suddenly cracked, and Mori Sang rushed over like a cannonball.
"Die, demon!"
Mori Sang slashed at Luo De, his mind filled with the pleasure of revenge!
A slash fell!
But it hit not Luo De, but a light piece of clothing.
Flash Step - Empty Cicada!
The high-level footwork of the Soul Reaper, sacrificing a piece of clothing on the body, can escape an attack, somewhat similar to the ninja's 'Substitution Technique'.
"Disappeared?"
Mori Sang was startled, realizing that Luo De had stood behind him at some point.
"Die!"
Mori Sang suddenly turned around, using all his strength to swing a knife at Luo De!
Ding~
The sharp blade was actually caught by Luo De's slender fingers with ease!
"This... is impossible!"
Mori Sang couldn't believe it at all, his full strength couldn't even move the blade by half a point!
"No need to be surprised."
Luo De held the blade with two fingers, his face still with a smile, calmly said: "Because the gap between you and me is far greater than you can imagine."
You need to know that the battle of the Soul Reapers is actually the battle of spiritual pressure!
Mori Sang is just a rookie who has just become a Soul Reaper, his spiritual pressure barely reaching the tenth level, how can he fight against him, a Soul Reaper with the sixth level of spiritual pressure?
"I don't believe it!"
Mori Sang's eyes were bloodshot, roaring: "The gap can't be so big! Absolutely impossible!"
"Ah, ah, ah—"
Mori Sang's blood vessels bulged all over his body, using all his strength to barely pull the knife out of Luo De's hand, and then slashed out without any rules!
"Die! Die!"
However...
Mori Sang, who had never been in actual combat, not only had messy and disorganized swordsmanship, but was also inferior to the little gangsters on the street, and even completely lost his mind, so how could he hit Luo De?
"Let's end it."
Luo De felt a little bored.
He originally thought that Mori Sang could release his Zanpakuto, but he didn't expect it to be only at this level.
"Scatter, Senbonzakura!"
Luo De held the Zanpakuto upside down and slowly let go of his hand.
The falling Zanpakuto's blade turned into scattered cherry blossoms, like a pink ocean, surrounding him.
"This is... what?"
Mori Sang's eyes were a little dazed, attracted by the cherry blossoms fluttering all over the sky, and subconsciously murmured: "How beautiful..."
But he didn't know that beautiful things are often accompanied by great dangers!
Although Senbonzakura looks beautiful, in fact, those cherry blossoms are composed of thousands of blades!
"Fall!"
Luo De stretched out his slender fingers, and then slowly closed them.
Whoosh!
The pink sea of cherry blossoms roared and swept over, instantly submerging Mori Sang!
Millions of cherry blossoms transformed into blades, like a meat grinder, cutting Mori Sang's flesh and bones to pieces!
In an instant.
The scattered cherry blossoms returned, condensing into a blade.
And Mori Sang's whole body was covered with dense knife wounds, standing there like a blood man.
"Mori Sang, I want to thank you."
Luo De quietly looked at the disappearing Mori Sang and said lightly: "Because you became a Soul Reaper, you can provide me with a medium-quality soul."
"So... all of this was arranged by you!"
The dying Mori Sang's eyes gradually dissipated, and he said weakly.
Yes... all of this was arranged!
Regardless of whether Mori Sang's final result of corruption was Hollow or Soul Reaper, it made no difference to Luo De.
Before it even started, the ending was already doomed!
Mori Sang's efforts and struggles were just an entertainment program in Luo De's eyes.
"Tell me!!!"
Mori Sang, holding on to his last breath, roared at the man who was still smiling: "What... am I?!"
"A tool."
Luo De's eyes were indifferent: "As a 'tool', you... are qualified."
