Bai Ye decisively sheathed his Zanpakuto.
"Thanks for your patronage, boss," Bai Ye grinned at Seth. "Let's rest. Tonight, I guarantee I'll get you out of here and complete the mission."
To fight his way out of Seireitei, Bai Ye felt that, at present, no one could achieve it.
Bai Ye's current strength was only enough to barely contend with some vice-captains. If he encountered a captain-level soul reaper…
The battle on the long street earlier was the best answer.
Completely outmatched!
In just one encounter, Bai Ye was beaten, and the opponent hadn't even used their Bankai.
Although Bai Ye wasn't so arrogant as to believe he was invincible, or that no chosen one in this world battlefield was stronger than him, such a huge gap made Bai Ye think that it wouldn't matter who was in his place.
Therefore, Bai Ye decided this hidden mission had to be accomplished through wit, not brute force. Otherwise, in the current situation, Seth's hidden mission would definitely not be completed.
However, wit was clearly too troublesome, requiring contemplation of the situation and devising a strategy. So, Bai Ye chose to cheat.
That Zanpakuto called Zabimaru was worth wasting a fragment of a God Stone on.
The next step was to wait.
Fighting out in the daytime was definitely not a good option. Those soul reapers were like salarymen, working nine-to-five, striving for 996, and enjoying every day.
So, of course, he had to wait until nightfall to act.
Thinking this, Bai Ye lay down on the bed and began to sleep.
The Twelve Great Battles had been going on for so long that Bai Ye felt quite tired and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Bai Ye slept soundly and comfortably until he felt a slight vibration. He groggily opened his eyes to find Seth shaking him.
Bai Ye mumbled, "What time is it?"
Seth replied, "It's already night."
Bai Ye yawned and stretched his back. His physical condition was strong, and his recovery was quick. Coupled with the water spell, although his injuries hadn't fully healed, they were no longer a major problem.
"Then let's get ready to go!"
As Bai Ye spoke, he tossed out the gachapon machine, which landed on the ground with a clang, startling Seth.
With the sound of the gachapon machine spinning, the first capsule quickly rolled out, and then…
The moment the capsule rolled out, Bai Ye kicked it away.
Damn it, a white capsule!
Bai Ye didn't even bother to look and immediately drew for a second time.
"Heaven or Hell…" Bai Ye prayed, "One shot to hit the mark."
The second capsule…
It was blue!
Tian Gang Yi Qi Jue (Daoist Magic) (Blue): A Daoist magic that harmonizes with heaven and earth, integrating internal essence and qi to strengthen the physical body. Effects: Tian Gang Physique (within one hour, strength and speed increase by 30 points), Yi Qi Jian Zhi (condense internal true qi and attack with a finger like a sword).
A Daoist magic from a Xianxia world…
This thing actually looked quite good. For regular use, it would definitely be enough, especially Daoist magic, which was a relatively powerful means.
Regardless of the power of Yi Qi Jian Zhi for now, the mere increase of strength and speed by 30 points was almost equivalent to half a bottle of T-virus.
However, in the current situation…
Tian Gang Yi Qi Jue was clearly insufficient to turn the tide.
"It seems I still need to use this God Stone fragment!"
Bai Ye had hoped that the first two draws would yield a gold capsule, or even a red capsule would have a chance to turn the tide. But the two black eggs from the Twelve Great Battles seemed to have used up all his luck. The two draws for the new day were clearly mediocre.
Then he had no choice but to cheat. After all, he had already received Seth's benefits, and Bai Ye didn't want to be imprisoned in this damn place forever. He definitely had to fight his way out.
"Give me a gold capsule!"
Bai Ye twisted the gachapon machine, which made a "creak, creak" sound as it spun.
Soon, within the gachapon machine, a golden radiance appeared.
A golden capsule dropped out of the machine and, upon hitting the ground, instantly split in half.
The next moment, a large expanse of golden light bloomed.
…
A man lay on the roadside, on the verge of death. The smell of blood attracted buzzing flies.
Filthy and fragile insects, waiting for the moment to devour a massive prey. But they never got their chance.
A nomadic caravan stopped, and gentle hands offered water.
"Live."
The voice of a little girl, as beautiful as heavenly music.
"Is it a dream?"
The man slowly opened his eyes and then stood up from the ground.
"Unwilling to accept it? Then surpass reincarnation."
A voice sounded in his ear.
Unknowingly, his body could move again.
A familiar touch, it was a Guan Dao.
Strength, strength poured in continuously.
His consciousness, like a candle flame in the wind, flickered.
But that obsession grew ever clearer.
If I cannot become human, then I will become a demon.
Live on, and afterwards…
"I will become the nightmare of this world!"
…
Amidst the golden radiance, a tall man clad in black armor, wielding a Guan Dao, stood up. He was majestic and imposing, exuding intense killing intent, possessing an aura that could disdain the world.
Tian Mo Liao Luan (Possession) (War God Lu Bu) (Gold): Abyss ahead, hell behind, even if it's a ghost god, I will destroy it for you to see.
Effects: Peerless Demon (after being possessed by the War God Lu Bu, all attributes except intelligence are tripled).
Taotie's Blood (while enchanted, ignores all enemy defense effects).
Guan Dao Slash (swing the Guan Dao in a designated direction. Upon hitting an enemy, you will enter an enchanted state).
Greedy Wolf's Grasp (seize the souls of enemies within a designated range, reducing their movement speed and increasing your own defense).
Demon God's Descent (leap forward, and upon landing, swing the Guan Dao. All targets within range when landing will have their movement speed reduced. If the attack hits an enemy, you will heal your injuries to a certain extent and enter an enchanted state).
Possession ability!
Bai Ye looked at the illuminated screen and his first reaction was – I'm set!
The items from gold capsules were all powerful, but applicability still needed to be considered.
For example, if it were a weapon or a beast companion, Bai Ye would have to consider his own safety. After all, a weapon couldn't enhance his own abilities, and a beast companion would face the awkward situation of the leader being captured first.
Also, if he obtained defensive equipment…
It would be a disaster if they just stood there trading blows and neither could kill the other.
Therefore, the most suitable for the current situation would be something that directly enhanced his own abilities. While its strength might not be terrifying in a specific area due to its comprehensiveness, its applicability would certainly be very high.
So, a possession ability was highly suitable for the current predicament.
At the same time…
The figure from the golden radiance slowly emerged from the light and merged with Bai Ye.
