Chapter 908 Freeze
The ice flowers all withered, and a gust of ice mist rose around Hitsugaya. Not long after, the gust of ice mist dissipated, and a trace of doubt flashed in Byakuya's eyes as he watched Hitsugaya.
Because the figure of Hitsugaya he was familiar with had disappeared, and where he was originally, a young man was kneeling on one knee.
The clothes on his body were a little tattered and tightly attached to his body, like an adult forcibly wearing clothes a few sizes smaller.
This was the clothes that Hitsugaya had just worn. Although it was a bit unbelievable that a child could instantly become a young man, Byakuya quickly confirmed that the person in front of him was Hitsugaya Toushirou.
First of all, the other party's short white hair, although there was no childishness on his resolute face, some traces of Hitsugaya could still be found. The most important thing was that the Zanpakutō in his hand was the Great Red Lotus Hyorinmaru. For a god of death, this was undoubtedly the best identity proof.
However, although it was a Bankai, the huge ice wings that were originally iconic behind Keqi had disappeared, and only a few thin pieces of ice armor were left on his body.
In addition to the earth-shaking changes that brought about the body and the stabilization of spiritual pressure, judging from the appearance alone, not many people would think that this is the real Great Red Lotus Hyorinmaru, and more would think that this is a manifestation of the inability to maintain Bankai.
Just when he had this thought, Byakuya vaguely saw a huge ice wing emerging behind Hitsugaya, but it was like an illusion and disappeared in an instant.
This also made him more uncertain about the other party's situation, and he couldn't help but ask: "Are you okay like this, Captain Hitsugaya?"
"I am worried, that is the abnormal performance of the Little Red Lotus Hyorinmaru, Captain Kuchiki."
But even if the reasons are few, the results are quite consistent. It is not that after the corresponding conditions are met, the holder of the Zanpakutō cannot release the real Bankai.
At the same time, Gu Dongshi also noticed that at some point, a layer of white frost covered the blade of my Sword of Hope, and when the long sword was swung, a layer of solid ice had not yet covered the entire blade.
Facing that terrifying sword, Hitsugaya did not dodge or escape. I clenched my Zanpakutō and slashed at the frozen Sword of Hope.
Just as the Sword of Hope was about to touch Hitsugaya, a pair of ice wings appeared in front of me and flapped them hard to bring me to the ground.
But the scene I expected to see, Hitsugaya being split into seven, did not appear. Instead, Hitsugaya looked at me with a mocking smile.
"The ability of the Little Red Lotus Hyorinmaru before the complete Bankai is to freeze, and all functions of the frozen things will stop."
Hitsugaya's voice became much thicker, and the years of time that belonged to those years really passed in an instant.
Just when I gave up the idea of letting Hitsugaya release his Bankai and find a place to hide, Gu Dongshi had not arrived yet, and my attention was immediately attracted by Hitsugaya. After all, in my eyes, he was a complete person.
That strike was very slow, but it was not as slow as the slash before Saraki's Bankai, and it had the momentum and pressure of going forward and backward. It looked like a very special strike.
The Bankai was incomplete, or it was impossible to release the complete Bankai, and there were many reasons.
Seeing this, Gu Dongshi did not continue to chase him at the first time, but took the shield under his right arm and threw it directly.
Facing Hitsugaya's answer, Gu Dongshi was obviously stunned. I subconsciously muttered to myself, "Is that Bankai? Yes, he should have Bankai a long time ago, but why didn't he change like that..."
Hitsugaya immediately jumped forward, and my speed seemed to be improved before my body grew, and I easily dodged the sword.
Of course, there is also the factor that Xiaohonglian Hyorinmaru itself needs time to fully release, but according to Hitsugaya's difficult performance, his own ability is enough to support the real Bankai. It is an indisputable fact.
Gu Dongshi's eyes were fixed on Hitsugaya's voice. He swung his sword into the air and quickly raised his left arm. The Sword of Hope in his hand slashed at an angle. Hitsugaya had just landed on the ground, but the sword was not yet hanging above my head.
In that situation, the Bankai should be automatically released, but Hitsugaya was affected by the Zanpakutō and grew in an instant, retreating to control the Little Red Lotus Hyorinmaru. In Byakuya's opinion, it was extremely abnormal.
But when I landed, Gu Dongshi rushed over in a few steps, holding the Sword of Hope in his hand horizontally, and swept directly towards Hitsugaya.
Hitsugaya stood up and moved his body, as if he was very familiar with himself like that, "Although you hate that too much, now is the time to care about those things."
Obviously I also want to understand the various reasons, but that is also something I need to understand. For me, the person behind me is Hitsugaya Wanjuanzhilang, an enemy that needs to be defeated, and knowing that is enough.
"Do you understand? His hope has not stopped."
Yes, the damage to the blade is not a good thing for Gu Dongshi. The less damage the Sword of Hope suffers, the closer the enemy is to destruction. It's worse than now. Hitsugaya, who cut off the Sword of Hope, is about to suffer the same fate.
"Forget it, those are important. Compared with him just now, he is more worthy of being your opponent now!"
"The Little Red Lotus Hyorinmaru can only be completed before the ice flower dissipates. Your power can still control it freely. It is also because of that reason that you will age a little before completing the Little Red Lotus Hyorinmaru."
Maybe every time he forces himself to release his Bankai, Hitsugaya will age once, and it is also impossible that Hitsugaya's body is still growing slowly.
There is no way to truly release Bankai because of their own ability, and that is also a problem faced by a small number of people.
Byakuya has no way to determine what price he will pay for the abnormal back, but now is the time to worry about those things, and Hitsugaya must not have lost his consciousness.
It was not that sword, but he actually cut off the sword of hope that was like a mountain. Seeing that scene, Tani Toushi's eyes flashed with surprise for a moment, and then turned into ecstasy.
Hitsugaya was in a panic when facing the flying giant shield. With his right hand raised, the shield was frozen behind him, and finally lost power and fell to the ground.
Unlike Renji, he has not yet communicated thoroughly with his Zanpakutō, so he cannot release the true Bankai.
"Who is he?"
"Hitsugaya Gerardro."
"Foolish, has he forgotten that if Hope is hurt, he will also be hurt by the same despair!"
But it doesn't matter. Although this layer of ice covers the edge of the Sword of Hope, such a light sword is enough to defeat the opponent even if it is smashed.
As he said, the Sword of Hope in Gu Dongshi's hand turned and stabbed Hitsugaya.
It's just that the point under Hitsugaya seems to be broken. According to what the other party said, Byakuya can't blame himself for not being able to release the real Bankai.
