Chapter 510 510: Soul King Mercenary Tao?!
From the moment the master of the Throne of the Heart appeared, the Shinigami felt an intense oppressive feeling.
Just like how, because the solidity of its spiritual body far exceeded other spiritual bodies, it could suppress the vast majority of spiritual bodies here almost by instinct.
The master of this [Throne of the Heart] exuded a sense of existence far more solid than any spiritual body.
Just seeing the other party, the Shinigami felt an intense deterrence.
That was the deterrence of a higher existence naturally suppressing all lower existences.
Or rather, it was the "high pressure" a spiritual body of higher density and higher mass naturally possessed when existing in this space of spirits.
This pressure, in certain worlds, was directly called [Reiatsu].
Reiatsu is not a cultivated ability, but an attribute like [Voltage].
High-level spiritual bodies will naturally absorb more Reishi, exerting oppression on any low-level spiritual bodies. Even, an excessively large gap will cause low-level spiritual bodies to be automatically annihilated when facing high-level spiritual bodies.
"Come here!"
A plain voice echoed from the huge consciousness space. Although cracks appeared in the pure white consciousness space around, at this moment, the echo of that voice was completely unaffected.
Come here!
Come here!
It was as if it was always echoing, and as if as long as it didn't accept this command, this sound would continue to exist.
Under the Shinigami mask, the pale, deathly still eyes moved, but the body didn't move.
After devouring a wisp of divinity and a little bit of divine power from within that woman's body, it had completely realized what kind of existence it was.
It was a [God]!
An existence completely unequal to these Yin spirits.
Even this master of the [Throne of the Heart] was nothing more than a mere living creature, still having an essential gap from itself.
It wanted to challenge the master of the throne; it wanted to take back the divine seat belonging to itself!
The Shinigami looked at the huge broccoli that had already grown sturdy not far away. That was a Divine Kingdom, seemingly born to exist for itself.
Kaito Shirogane read the meaning in the other party's eyes. He slowly put down that piece of spiritual corpse still holding the broken sword hilt. The signature cruel smile on the corner of his mouth became increasingly conspicuous.
Seeing this, Gojo Satoru and the Millennium Bug both silently retreated behind the [Throne of the Heart]. They knew very well that their host was an out-and-out madman.
Facing this kind of challenge, it was easy for him to go overboard. When the time came, the spiritual bodies here would inevitably suffer some torture.
Kaito Shirogane's long black hair constantly drifted.
Even in the consciousness space at this time, he could enjoy the unique enhancement brought by the so-called [Swirl of the Heart] after turning into a Noble Phantasm.
This almost made him feel that his [Transcendent Helix] had been temporarily elevated by about one level. Whether it was thinking ability, comprehension ability, or seeing through the essential forms of other powers, they had all reached a higher level.
He slowly stood up and took a step from the [Throne of the Heart], as if stepping on invisible stairs, walking downwards step by step.
At some point, Gojo Satoru had already taken off his blindfold. A scene like blue sky and white clouds shone in his eyes.
"That is..."
The Millennium Bug didn't have special ocular jutsu or Mystic Eyes, but relying on experience and the naked eye, he still noticed that Kaito Shirogane's movements right now were completely different from Gojo Satoru using Limitless to stand in the air.
"That's not Limitless, nor is it Geppo..."
With every step Kaito Shirogane took, a faint blue-white luster flashed slightly under his feet. And as Kaito Shirogane walked further and further, that luster became less and less obvious.
After walking dozens of meters, that phenomenon completely disappeared, as if he was truly walking on thin air.
"Ha~ Is this the so-called power of spirits..."
Perhaps it was the strengthening of the [Swirl of the Heart], or perhaps because there were only spiritual bodies here and no interference from the physical body, Kaito Shirogane mastered some abilities and usage methods of spiritual bodies without any hindrance.
He condensed the thing that would probably be called [Reishi] under his feet. Because spiritual bodies were already light, he could easily stand and walk on thin air.
This was the most basic ability of a Shinigami, and also the prerequisite for abilities like Shunpo.
Then, Kaito Shirogane closed his eyes. Just like absorbing spiritual bodies into his body, his body suddenly began to fluctuate.
In this consciousness space, Kaito Shirogane didn't have the burden of hundreds of thousands of Yin spirits locking up his body. Merely controlling his own single spiritual body, merely controlling his own Reiatsu, for him who possessed the Swirl of the Heart, it was a piece of cake!
In the next moment, a blue-white luster began to bloom from Kaito Shirogane's body.
Buzz~
Conversely, the surroundings of Kaito Shirogane's body, as if Reishi had been sucked away, began to become hollow, black and white.
An intense aura of danger began to radiate. The spiritual bodies closest to Kaito Shirogane began to shriek.
These lowest-level Yin spirits hadn't even recovered their sentience, only knowing to flee towards other places by instinct.
But how could they dodge Kaito Shirogane's absorption?
Pfft!
Pfft!
Pfft pfft pfft pfft...
One by one, the pitch-black Yin spirits shattered. Then, like dominoes, more and more spiritual bodies shattered. Correspondingly, the blue-white light on Kaito Shirogane's spiritual body became too intense, already turning into an almost pure white luster.
The outline of his whole person was almost invisible.
Kaito Shirogane experienced this novel sensation. He only felt himself become incomparably tall and grand. It wasn't that his figure became tall and grand, but it was like that feeling when he obtained the complete blessing of divine power in the B711 world.
His field of vision became extremely high; all living beings were being looked down upon by him.
Moreover, he could feel that as long as he wished, he could annihilate these weak spiritual bodies at any time.
When he arrived in front of the Shinigami, Kaito Shirogane seemed to have already turned into a pure white lifeform, with absolutely no traces of a human outline visible.
He was like a glowing, pure white lifeform.
The Shinigami trembled all over. The Cursed Spirits and Vengeful Spirits around it shattered one after another, turning into pitch-black fragments blending into the River of the Underworld.
The Shinigami only felt the surroundings turn completely into black and white. In the whole space, even that uniquely shaped Divine Kingdom lost its color.
Its body constantly trembled, as if it would be shattered by the powerful pressure in the next moment.
It gripped its white tachi, seemingly wanting to draw the sword. But the powerful pressure made it feel as if it were inside a rock or clay statue, completely unable to move.
It couldn't draw it even an inch.
"Kneel."
Kaito Shirogane stood in front of the advanced Shinigami and said these two words faintly.
In the next moment, an even more powerful pressure made the Shinigami feel as if the whole world had endless black lines flashing. Its field of vision was about to disappear.
"My spirit... is about to dissipate..."
It couldn't understand why, despite its essence being so noble, it actually had completely no power to resist when facing the master of the [Throne of the Heart] before it.
How could the other party's spirit be so powerful...
Seeing the Shinigami still unyielding, Kaito Shirogane slowly stretched out a finger, placed it on the glabella of the Hannya mask, and pressed down lightly.
Crack, boom!
First came the sound of the mask cracking. In the next moment, the ground of the consciousness space, which hadn't changed no matter how they fought, violently shattered.
With a bang, the Shinigami was pressed into the pit like a mollusk. After the white Hannya mask shattered, it revealed a weird face full of black patterns behind it.
"From now on, I'll call you [Black Mask]."
Seemingly thinking of something whose punchline others completely wouldn't understand, Kaito Shirogane's voice carried a smile.
On the Shinigami's face, the black patterns began to spread like ink. In the next moment, the whole face turned black. The fragments of the white mask only hung on both sides of its cheeks.
It slowly lowered its head, bowing down under the terrifying Reiatsu.
In the consciousness space, everyone else looked at this scene in shock and doubt. Uchiha Madara also frowned at this time. He had never seen such power.
And the Millennium Bug's face was filled with shock.
At this very moment, Mercenary Tao's pure white appearance looked extremely like a kind of existence from a certain anime...
The Creator from the [Bleach] world—the Soul King!
But he completely couldn't imagine how a Reincarnator at this time could get close to a plot character of that level.
A Supreme should still have a huge gap from that position.
The Millennium Bug shook his head, treating it as just his own overthinking. But looking at the spiritual corpse fragment of the Shinigami-strengthened Reincarnator deliberately left by Gojo Satoru, he felt an inexplicable weird feeling again.
He suddenly felt that the resurrection of spiritual bodies like themselves might no longer be out of reach!
