Chapter 43: Bankai, Daiguren Hyourinmaru

Chapter 43: Bankai, Daiguren Hyourinmaru

After watching Ancient One leave.

"Hu..."

Lod took a long breath and wiped the sweat on his forehead. He said, "It was so dangerous. I almost exposed myself..."

At this moment, his heart that had been hanging in his throat finally slowly fell to the ground.

Just now, Ancient One seemed to believe his lie, but in fact, Lod knew very well that this sorceress was just too lazy to investigate.

Ancient One was not that easy to deceive.

Sorcerer Supreme, who sat wielding the Eye of the Agamotto, rarely had things in the world that could be hidden from her eyes. Coincidentally, Lod's existence was a small part of it.

If Ancient One was determined to ask what exactly was going on, even if he had a hundred mouths, he would not be able to explain it clearly!

Fortunately, Ancient One did not know why and did not investigate this matter. He even sent him a kind invitation before he left.

What was Ancient One's purpose?

No idea... no way to guess.

Sorcerer Supreme could observe the long river of time in the parallel universe, and no one could know what Ancient One was thinking in his heart!

"Forget it..."

Lod rubbed his sore temples, and his face showed a tired look. He sighed and said, "Who cares what she wants to do? I'm too tired to think."

There were too many things that happened tonight. He just wanted to have a good rest now.

However, before going home to rest, Lod still had one more thing to do.

"Book of Sins..."

Lod's eyes revealed a glint. This dangerous item that could summon Chthon could not be left outside!

If this thing were to be left outside and used by some villain characters to summon Chthone back to Earth, would he still have a good life?

Not to mention the fact that he had destroyed Chthon's return plan, the two of them were already mortal enemies.

Just a few minutes ago, he had even thrown the blame in front of Ancient One. If Chthon knew about this, Lod felt that he would not have a good ending!

Therefore, for the sake of his own safety, it would be the best for him to keep the Book of Sins!

...

Lod recovered a bit of his spiritual energy, and returned to the place where they had fought previously.

This place was almost completely destroyed. The ruins and traces of battle were everywhere, and the Book of Sins was only the size of an ordinary book. There was no way to tell where it was buried.

Lod turned his spiritual energy into ripples and spread out, planning to sense the location of the Book of Sins.

However, not long after the spiritual energy ripples spread out, Lod suddenly felt that there were two dying lives under the ruins!

"!"

The corner of Lod's eyes twitched. He suddenly remembered that the two employees he had just recruited seemed to still be here!

He slashed open the ruins with his sword and saw that Matt and Jessica were bound by Hado - Rikujōkōrō, Six Rods Prison of Light. They looked at him with resentment.

"Lord Haschwalth... You finally came to save us!"

Matt and Jessica wanted to cry but had no tears. Their voices were so sad that they sounded like angry little wives.

The two of them were bewitched by black magic. In the end, they were stopped by Lod using Hado. However, when they woke up, they found that Lod had already begun to fight with Chthon!

...

What a load of fat!

Lod couldn't hold back the ecstasy in his heart, and the corners of his mouth rose crazily!

As expected of the system, he was generous when he made a move!

Although the task of expelling the Infernal Deity, Chthon, was difficult, the reward he got was also generous!

It was just that he never expected that this reward was actually 'Bankai'!

Following the second stage after zanpakuto Shikai, it was also the final form of zanpakuto - Bankai!

In the state of Bankai, whether it is Spiritual Power or combat effectiveness, will have a qualitative leap, about 5 to 10 times compared to the state of Shikai, and only the Captain level death god can master the final trump card!

Daiguren Hyourinmaru is the original 10th Division Captain, Tōshirō Hitsugaya's Bankai.

Out of all of death god, his zanpakuto was the only one that possessed the ability Tensō Jūrin (Subjugation of the Heavens), Allowing him control all the water in the atmosphere and instantly freeze it into ice. It was the strongest among all the ice attributes zanpakuto!

As for the second reward, it was the 'present' from Chthon!

After he was forcefully transformed into the power of 'hollow' , he knew it was a double-edged sword for the current Lod!

'Hollowfication' was a rather dangerous power!

By fusing hollow's power into death god's body, he would be able to break through the 'boundary' in one fell swoop.

And if the two sides were not equal in strength, it was very likely that they would be devoured by the 'hollow' in their bodies, and then become a real hollow!

But no matter what, it was better than having one or not.

At the very least, he would be able to have an additional 'card' in the future!
