Chapter 754: Pururi Kiyotsugu Captured by Barragan
Chapter 754: Pururi Kiyotsugu Captured by Barragan
Regarding Ichigo's threat, Yecheng neither confirmed nor denied it, assuring Ichigo that he could leave without worry.
When it came to taking care of others' sisters, he was quite experienced, as he had cared for quite a few sisters up to this point.
Hizuru's sister, Lucia, Seagull's sister, Kuugetsu, and Weiji, whose sister was she?
In any case, he was a born caretaker for sisters, and Ichigo could rest assured that his two sisters were in good hands with him.
Coincidentally, not long after Yecheng and his group returned from Hueco Mundo, the Barragan trio also brought Pururi Kiyotsugu back to their Illusory Night Palace.
Upon learning that while he was away from Hueco Mundo, his home had been stolen, not only had Ise Uzuki been rescued, but even his elite henchmen, the Espada, had suffered heavy casualties. Barragan merely smiled and didn't seem overly concerned.
Ise Uzuki's usefulness to him had diminished, as he had already researched her ability to reject everything.
As for the Espada, they were merely high-level thugs in Barragan's eyes, created to test the power of the Collapse Sphere.
The so-called Espada were just expendable to him, for with the Collapse Sphere in his possession, he had the ability to mass-produce even the Espada.
There was nothing in Hueco Mundo that he couldn't create, except for the ever-present Hueco.
The current Espada were created using the Collapse Sphere in its semi-awakened state, and once it fully awakened, the strength of the Hollows would far surpass that of the current Espada.
"Pururi Kiyotsugu, how is it? My palace and my laboratory are quite impressive, aren't they?
You're a smart man, and since you agreed to my terms, you should know the consequences if you try to play any tricks.
As one of the creators of the Collapse Sphere, I admire your talent, but your foolish thoughts are utterly repulsive to me."
The battle at the Pururi Shop in Gensei ended with Pururi Kiyotsugu being captured.
To be precise, Pururi Kiyotsugu was captured by Barragan because he had reached an agreement with him.
In the battle a few days ago, everyone at the Pururi Shop was defeated, and to ensure the survival of Yawake Ichigo and the others, Pururi Kiyotsugu, who understood Barragan's intentions, offered to assist in the fusion of the Collapse Spheres in exchange for their safety.
Yagi Yachi and the Masked Army were insignificant characters in Barragan's eyes.
From the beginning, his primary target had been Pururi Kiyotsugu, so he agreed to Pururi Kiyotsugu's terms without much hesitation.
For this reason, everyone except Yawake Ichigo, who managed to escape, Kurosaki Ichigo, Ishida Ryuken, and a few members of the Masked Army were captured by Barragan and taken back to the Illusory Night Palace as hostages.
Pururi Kiyotsugu had to assist Barragan in fusing the two Collapse Spheres according to their agreement, allowing the Collapse Sphere to fully awaken.
Upon entering Barragan's laboratory, Pururi Kiyotsugu couldn't help but frown at the various experimental subjects soaking in the surrounding containers.
He acknowledged Barragan as a brilliant research genius, as it was unlikely for anyone else to have created the Collapse Sphere before him.
However, Pururi Kiyotsugu couldn't agree with Barragan's actions, as they were fundamentally different in their approach.
Seeing Pururi Kiyotsugu's furrowed brows and silence, Barragan didn't waste any words and proceeded to undress...
Don't get the wrong idea; although Barragan aspired to stand above all and transcend the boundaries of Shinigami, he drew a firm line when it came to gender boundaries, unlike a certain colleague from the neighboring film set who constantly washed his face with his tongue.
The reason for removing his clothes was to reveal the Collapse Sphere embedded in his chest to Kisuke Urahara.
"You madman, using your body as a vessel and merging with the Collapse Sphere. It has its own consciousness and continues to grow. Don't you fear that one day it might replace you?"
Upon seeing the Collapse Sphere on Ganjuuzo Sonido's chest, Kisuke Urahara was indeed surprised. As one of the creators of the Collapse Sphere, he was well aware of its dangers.
The Collapse Sphere possessed self-awareness, and the Spiritual Pressure it emitted far surpassed that of a Captain-level Shinigami.
Ganjuuzo Sonido had directly fused this dangerous object with his body and soul, which, in Kisuke Urahara's eyes, was sheer madness!
"To break the boundaries of Shinigami, one must not adhere to the status quo. Without the courage to change one's essence, how can life achieve transcendence?"
Ganjuuzo Sonido dismissed Kisuke Urahara's warning, believing that even if the Collapse Sphere was unique, it was still a man-made object.
If he couldn't control this power, what right did he have to stand above others?
"As for why I want to do this, you need not concern yourself with that. After all, how can ordinary people comprehend my aspirations?
Now, I just want to know, Kisuke Urahara, what did you do to the Collapse Sphere you created? Why is the fusion process of the two Collapse Spheres completely different from what I envisioned?"
Ganjuuzo Sonido had gone to such lengths for one reason: to obtain the other Collapse Sphere created by Kisuke Urahara, thereby perfecting and awakening his own.
According to his initial deduction, by fusing the Collapse Sphere he possessed with the one created by Kisuke Urahara, it would become complete and awaken.
After leaving the Soul Society, Ganjuuzo Sonido's intention was to become the host of the Collapse Sphere, allowing the two spheres to merge within his body, and using its self-evolutionary ability to break the Shinigami boundaries.
However, during this time, Ganjuuzo Sonido discovered that the fusion process of the two Collapse Spheres on his body was not as smooth as he had imagined, and this had significantly slowed down his evolution.
The first thing that came to Ganjuuzo Sonido's mind regarding this anomaly was that Kisuke Urahara must be up to something.
After all, the Collapse Sphere within Lucia was created by Kisuke Urahara, and given his intelligence, he might have anticipated the possibility of the sphere falling into the wrong hands, leading him to implement some measures.
But upon hearing Ganjuuzo Sonido's explanation and understanding the reason for his capture, Kisuke Urahara was dumbfounded.
There was a safety measure on the Collapse Sphere he created? If such a thing existed, he wouldn't have been so worried about Ganjuuzo Sonido overturning the entire world.
Although Kisuke Urahara hadn't tampered with the Collapse Sphere, Ganjuuzo Sonido's situation piqued his interest.
He thought that if he could figure out the reason, he might find a solution to the Collapse Sphere.
Soon, the two smartest geniuses in the Shinigami world began their research on the Collapse Sphere.
After a week of analysis and discussion, when they learned that the fusion of the two Collapse Spheres was not going as planned, Ganjuuzo Sonido and Kisuke Urahara were both stunned.
