Chapter 31: Ability Of The Zanpakuto
If we say that the Quincy's power comes from the Spirit King.
The power of Shinigami can be traced back to the ancestor of the five great nobles, to Ichibei Hyōsube, and if it has something to do with the Soul King, then when Arima senses the power of the hollow in front of him, where should Arima trace the power of the hollow? Have your own understanding.
It is not difficult to understand if the "sword spirit" in the Eight Mirror Sword is a virtual one.
After all, Shinigami and Hollows are like two sides of a mirror.
They seem to be the same as water and fire.
In fact, there is a commonality in power.
They are two different bifurcations in the process of soul evolution.
Because of their commonality, the power of Hollows can pollute the power of Shinigami and make it Hollow.
The power of Shinigami can also give virtual purification.
Only the Quincy as a human is different.
Both Hollows and Shinigami exist in the spirit world, and Quincy is a human being.
The world they live in is the world of living.
The power they control is completely different from that of Hollow and Shinigami.
Because they exist in the world of vessels, There are no powerful reiatsu or spiritual powers in their bodies, but they do have the power to control external reiatsu.
This is a power that Shinigami, Hollow and other beings who rely too much on their own Reiatsu have never had.
In fact, over the long years, the Quincy also developed the method of injecting spirit seeds into their own blood vessels, which they called "static blood equipment" and "blood dynamic equipment".
This made up for the fact that they, as humans, have a weak constitution, which allows them to fight against Shinigami and Hollows who have powerful Reiatsu in their innate bodies.
Ōetsu Nimaiya is the creator of Zanpakutō.
Every Zanpakutō has its own soul.
When Shinigami holds Zanpakutō and resonates with the sealed state, Shinigami's soul will be written into the "sword spirit" in the sealed state, adding his own traces to the "sword spirit" that was originally like a blank piece of paper.
Then using the sword as a support, the powerful power that was rooted in Shinigami's body was reflected.
This is the power of Zanpakutō, and in fact, it is also the power of Shinigami's own existence.
Zanpakutō is equivalent to a mirror. Shinigami continues to develop Zanpakutō and continuously taps out the power hidden in the soul.
This is what Arima knew from Ōetsu Nimaiya.
All sealed states are actually created with the power of "Hollows".
Shinigami uses Hollow's power to obtain Zanpakutō.
On the other hand, it is actually the same.
If one day, Hollows can gain the power of Shinigami, he may also be able to further tap into his own power and awaken his own sword.
I'm afraid that's how it came to Arrancar's.
However, that is all in the future after all.
At least, Ōetsu Nimaiya will not know that in the future, someone will use multiple Shinigami souls and add Soul King fragments to create something like Hōgyoku, and then use Hōgyoku to give the Hollows, Shinigami like powers, thus having a knife similar to the Shinigami.
The sword spirit in the Eight Mirror Sword is also derived from the power of Hollows, but this kind of virtual power is completely different from ordinary.
It's more primitive.
Although the Zanpakutō created by Ōetsu Nimaiya also relied on the power of the Hollows, it only used the them to create an embryo.
It did not possess the devouring and chaotic power of the Hollows.
Its sword spirit was like a blank sheet of paper. After Shinigami used his own Shinigami power to write his own traces on it, the existence of the sword spirit has nothing to do with the Hollows.
After all, Shinigami and Hollow are both souls. The soul is like a blank sheet of paper and carries the power of Shinigami. Naturally, it is impossible to degenerate into Hollow.
On the contrary, the combination of Shinigami's power and Hollow's power, as if the two sides of the mirror complement each other, is the key to Shinigami's awakening. Is the liberation of Zanpakutō not a process of Shinigami's self-evolution?
The Eight Mirror Sword is not the case. Its sword spirit is filled with the terrifying power of Hollows, but due to the technique of the original sword maker, this power is contained in the sword and will not spread outwards.
Arima continued his research and finally determined two things.
The first thing is that this sword did not come from the hands of Ōetsu Nimaiya.
The second thing is that this Hollows is most likely the "primordial Hollows" from the era of chaos. The ancient Hollow is a naturally occurring Hollows. Its appearance represents the imminent end of the world. The destruction of the chaotic world.
It was the Spirit King who took action, defeated it, and saved the world.
The Spirit King can be regarded as a god, but isn't the primordial Hollow considered a god in another sense?
It is a world-destroying god.
"So, after the Spirit King killed the primordial, its corpse remains were preserved, and were later forged into the Eight Mirror Sword?"
"Although the Spirit King killed the primordial, the essence of his existence is at the same level as the Spirit King."
"So, after the founder of the five great nobles murdered the Spirit King, in order to divide the Spirit King, which could not be achieved by relying solely on the power of the Shinigami, he resorted to the help of this sword?"
Arima started thinking wildly.
Although he has been in the Zero Division for many years, he knows a lot of hidden history in this world.
But he didn't know anything about the ancient times.
As a being who survived that era, Ichibei Hyōsube is the oldest Shinigami today. He knows the truth, but he can't help it. Ichibei Hyōsube doesn't want to tell it.
But that doesn't matter either.
After understanding the source of the power of the Eight Mirror Sword, Arima also had an idea on how to cut the power of the Spirit King's right arm in Jūshirō Ukitake's body. Perhaps he could try to steal part of the power of the Eight Mirror Sword here.
The power of the Soul King overrides the power of the Shinigami. The power of the Shinigami, which is mainly spiritual power, cannot shake the power of the Soul King.
But the power of the void is not like that.
Although he is an ancient Hollow, Shinigami's power can touch the Hollow's power.
After all, they are just different directions in the process of soul evolution.
The sword spirit in the Eight Mirror Sword itself is a incomplete Hollow, which was sealed in it by the person who created the sword.
Because of the power of the ancient Hollow itself, when a powerful force of the same level hits it, it will naturally, trigger a counterattack from the ancient Hollow power, thus rebounding.
Since it itself is incomplete, then it should be nothing if a part of it is incomplete.
When Arima's Zanpakutō is liberated, the existence of his sword will form a barrier. Within the barrier, it can control anything related to the spiritual particles, including ... souls.
In the world of reishi, everything is composed of reishi, including Shinigami's body and soul, and Hollow's body and soul.
Therefore, within this range, Arima can control spiritual particles, just like if he were a god!
