The six paths are divided into: heaven, Asura, human, animal, hungry ghost and hell.
Each of the six paths represents an ability, and different abilities require different liberation words.
Michael Zayne at the moment used the "Hell Path" among the Six Paths.
His ability was similar to Aizen's "Kyōka Suigetsu", a completely hypnotic ability that controlled the five senses.
However, the duration was limited and the intensity of the illusion was slightly weaker.
He could not play with people's hearts as wantonly as "Kyōka Suigetsu".
However, "Hell" also has its own advantages.
Michael Zayne called it "real illusion", which can turn people's illusions into reality.
In Japanese folklore, there are yōkai such as the nukekubi, whose detached heads terrorize the living, or the ushi-oni, which strike fear into fishermen with curses that cause fevers and weakness. Legends speak of spirits whose malice alone could sicken and kill those who believed in their power. This is the essence of "innuendo"—an unseen strike born from fear itself.
If someone whose five senses are controlled by the "Hell Path" is told that he will bleed to death, as long as the person with Hypnotic Ability believes this, his body will really bleed to death.
In addition, the Hypnotic Ability of "Hell Path" penetrates people's hearts and is also effective for those with impaired vision.
"Are you ready?"
After Michael Zayne truly reached Half-Shikai, his aura increased several times again. He stared at the female vampire and gently waved his Zanpakutō. A surging spiritual pressure shot up into the sky, stirring up the wind and rain into even greater chaos.
"Just wait, the Hesenba family will bury you!"
The female vampire had an ugly expression on her face. Originally, seeing that he looked tired, she thought that he might still be able to fight, but now... she could only leave first!
Hoola!!
Her back trembled violently, and she spread out a pair of Batwings. Like a giant bird, she leaped down from the side of the ship, piercing through the raging wind and rain and soaring into the depths of the sea.
Michael Zayne's heart moved slightly.
He wasn't very familiar with Marvel's vampires, but he knew that anyone who could grow wings must be a core member of the Vampire Clan.
But...never mind!
Michael Zayne looked at the fleeing figure from afar and snorted softly. His nearly two-meter-long Zanpakuto was like a flash of cold lightning, cutting a long trail in the wind and rain.
At the same time, a cold shout pierced through the wind and rain.
"Punish him, Hell Angel!"
In the violently trembling void, a darkness that covered the entire sky was reflected, transforming into a gigantic Angel nearly a hundred meters tall.
He had three pairs of jet-black wings behind him, and held a cold, sharp black blade in his hand.
His entire body seemed to be cast in copper and iron, emitting a metallic glow.
The so-called "Angel of Hell" is actually a copy of "Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō".
"Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō," the Bankai form of the captain of the 7th Division, Komamura Sajin, summons a ferocious war god with an extremely huge body, holding a steel blade, wearing armor, and bound by black ropes.
This image draws directly from Japanese Buddhist hells. Hell is divided into eight cold hells and eight hot hells. Black Rope Hell—"Kokujō Jigoku"—is one of the hot hells, where sinners are bound with burning ropes before being cut apart by executioners' blades.
"Myō'ō" in Buddhism refers to the wrathful deities, the furious incarnations of Buddhas, who manifest rage to destroy evil. As the saying goes: Even the merciful Buddha has wrath. Once awakened, compassion turns into divine punishment.
Therefore, Komamura Sajin's Bankai is a manifestation of that principle—divine wrath turned to justice.
Michael Zayne imitated this image and blended it with the form of a fallen angel from Japanese legend, designing his own messenger of judgment.
A metallic, jet-black angel of hell.
The power of "Hell" must be revealed through fear. The stronger the outward vision, the more convincing the terror. The illusion manifests because the heart believes it.
At this time, the mountain-like metal Angel raised the giant blade that was dozens of meters long above his head and swung it down with the momentum of splitting mountains and breaking rivers.
No one can doubt His power!
therefore...
Boom!!
"No..."
The female vampire looked at the falling giant blade in despair, and was then crushed into pieces by the violent sword—she thought she would be crushed, so she was really crushed.
Michael Zayne's body swayed as he dispersed, and he was almost blown over by the strong wind.
For him now, even a half-Shikai Zanpakutō would be too much of a stretch.
However, if he had not acted decisively and overwhelmed Mesa with the momentum of the Half-First Release, and then killed her with overwhelming force, if the fight lasted too long, he might have been in trouble.
Vampires are a cursed race with many fatal weaknesses, but their strengths are also extremely striking.
They have much longer lifespans than ordinary people and much stronger physiques than ordinary people...
Especially pure-blooded vampires, each of them has a physique that is no less than Captain America.
Coupled with the extremely long time, almost all of them have mastered excellent fighting skills.
Michael Zayne is very self-aware. He is just a newbie and has no qualifications to play tricks with these old monsters.
Although half-release of the Zanpakutō consumes more energy, it can save a lot of trouble.
Worth it.
Exhausted, Michael Zayne forced himself to walk through the wind and rain and returned to the blood-soaked bridge. Rainwater slid down his body and mixed into the pool of blood at his feet, fading the horrifying scarlet color.
The violent wind and rain slammed against the door of the bridge tower, making a continuous "da da" sound, which matched his heavy and tired breathing.
Michael Zayne twisted his dry neck and inspected the slaughterhouse he had created, and suddenly felt his stomach twitching.
I didn't feel much when I was venting my emotions before, but now that I've calmed down, I feel uncomfortable.
Better to change your focus...
Michael Zayne staggered and found a clean crew lounge, relaxed his tired body, drank a few glasses of purified water, and then turned on his cheat.
Suddenly, a series of messages flashed out.
Kill the Hagui crew, Soul Jade +7
Kill the Hagui crew, Soul Jade +5
Kill a mixed-blood vampire, Soul Jade +79
Kill a mixed-blood vampire, Soul Jade +85
[Kill the pure-blooded vampire Mesa Hesenberg, Soul Jade +350]
Soul Jade is the high-level currency in the Death God system. It is made up of life and soul. The more vigorous the life and the more powerful the soul, the more Soul Jade it will be transformed into.
The soul jades transformed by ordinary people would not exceed 10 at most, while those of low-level vampires would be between 10 and 100. However, the soul jades transformed by Mesa were as high as 350, which really made her worthy of the title of pure-blooded vampire.
There were about fifty Hagui people on the ship, a dozen ordinary vampires, and Mesa, a pure-blooded vampire, giving Michael Zayne a total of 1,035 soul jades.
Michael Zayne rubbed his temples and nodded thankfully: "Not bad, just enough for a ten-draw combo..."
