[Death] Void bite

Someone is approaching.

Stark looked up in anticipation, to the edge of the dune.Ahh, those who can still walk, those who can approach, those who are alive.

Haven't seen Xu for a long time?

"Hey, you..." Thinking that the other one at this distance might be able to hear his own voice, Stark said.What's your name——he was about to ask, but suddenly realized that the false mask was incomplete.Under the missing mask on the right is a human form.Is it like this under Xu's mask?

Oops, now is not the time to be in a daze.

"Hey! Don't get any closer! If you get any closer, you'll die!" Stark yelled at the stranger.

But the bird remained unmoved as if it didn't hear it, and continued to walk step by step until it stopped in front of him.

So close.

Even Lilinette couldn't get so close, right?At that time, he actually expected Lilinette to walk in front of him, so he stopped in place and looked at her without daring to blink.It was her mask that turned into sand first. He didn't have time to pay attention to the appearance under the mask. He only remembered that Lilinite touched his mask belatedly, showing a helpless smile.

Stark swallowed nervously.

The void in front of me, the cat-like eyes, the black bat wings, and the shattered mask, will they all turn into sand?

But no.

Xuya in front of him stared at him, he didn't look uncomfortable at all, and finally tilted his head, as if surprised by Stark's lack of response, he took the lead in breaking the stalemate, squatted down on the spot and started writing on the sand ——

--Write?

Stark looked at his writing.

"Varstord?" the ghost asked.

He looked at it for a long time, glanced at the word and then looked at the other party.This virtual image is waiting for his answer, which is a question.

This one didn't die.

He wanted to put on a friendly expression as much as possible, but he was still a little embarrassed when he spoke: "...What is Varstord?"

Xu tilted his head again.

It's probably an easy question, Stark thought.

"Sorry, I haven't seen other ghosts for a long time, and other ghosts will die as long as they get close to me. So I... don't quite understand what you are talking about? And... Are you really okay?" Star Ke tried his best to explain, and was vaguely worried when this guy would die suddenly.

"Your Reiatsu is very strong." Xu glanced at him and wrote to himself.

"Uh... Reiatsu?" It was another word I had never heard before.But compared to this, this one is really fine, it is still the same, it has neither lost its strength and fell to the ground nor turned into sand, it is still alive and well... Stark wants to walk towards him to make sure that he is not dreaming , "If you're really okay, can I... be your companion? My name is Koyatai Stark, and you—"

As soon as he took a step, Xu in front of him flicked his tail fiercely to the ground in front of him, making a muffled loud noise on the sand, stopping his movements in the most hostile way.Confirming that Stark stopped, he scribbled: "Stop there".

"Okay, I see." Stark quickly spread his hands and stepped back, "Sorry, I don't mean any harm, I'm looking for a companion, I just want to..."

"My companion—" Xu wrote before he could finish. The word "companion" was overwritten, Stark looked at it for a while before he recognized it, "I can't resist your spiritual pressure, so I won't be your companion, don't come in this direction."

As soon as he finished writing, Xu Xu turned and left without hesitation, even more suddenly than when he appeared.

"I—" Stark said almost subconsciously, but turned around the moment he heard his voice, raised his hand, and his fingertips lit up with a flash of light.

"I'm sorry, but I'm really—" He wanted to say something, but he accidentally took a step forward, and the next second, a false flash hit his instep, leaving a scorched black mark.

This was probably just a warning, he thought.

But it hurts.

It really hurts.

When was the last time you got hurt?

When he came back to his senses, the ghost had already left.The desert became a pure desert again, and he could not even hear the sound of the wind, and he was the only one here.

Stark sat back down, lowering his head slowly.

Ah, I really want to...

No, you can't chase after it, you shouldn't chase it.

He looks around.

He remembered the owner of every mask here, that one was a bear-like guy, who looked at him from a distance when he saw him; that one looked weak, but ran unexpectedly fast; that one... …

Time is meaningless because he has nothing but time.

... go to sleep.

"……Hey?"

"...Hello, hello?"

"Silver, don't make trouble, this is not an opponent you can provoke now."

"Don't say that~ I just want to wake him up. Uuuer, have you really talked to this guy, this guy is dead, right? There is no reaction at all."

"silver."

"Ah, are you awake?"

one two four...

……Live?

One of them is the virtual one that appeared before.

Stark shook his head, not understanding the situation for a while.

"I heard from Urquiola that your spiritual pressure is too strong for other Voids to get close to. I have a way for you to restrain your spiritual pressure." One of them said.Stark looked at him in bewilderment, thinking, there's something weird about this guy... and he, is he all right?The man didn't mind his silence at all, and continued, "Oh, no name yet, I'm Aizen Soyousuke. Be my blade, fight for me, and I'll help you control your power .Are you willing to be our companion?"

companion.

Stark stood up, but didn't dare to move forward, and asked hesitantly, "...is that okay?"

"Of course. As long as I am here, it will be your place." The man named Aizen said with a gentle smile. "So, what's your answer?"

"I want to be your companion." Stark replied immediately, but just as he was about to approach, he stopped suddenly, patted Lilinette's horned helmet, and said with a bit of nostalgia, "Ah, but , Can I bring this child with me? Her name is Lilinette, Lilinette Kinkieback, she was my only...companion when I was here."

……

I stared at the Void called Stark.

In its hand is a half bone helmet, just white bones, empty remains.

But it says companion.

I wasn't surprised to see it follow Aizen without hesitation.

Hey hey, even though it's also Varstord, this guy's decision has no reference value.Urquiola also briefly told me about the content of his communication with Stark afterwards. I think this Valstord is more like not knowing what a spiritual pressure is than "unable to control spiritual pressure" .

This guy is really alone all the time.

But Stark paused when he approached me and Ulkiorra, and asked, "Are they your companions? You said your companions... er, my Reiatsu, or something... Anyway, is it okay?"

companion.

No matter how you think about it, Urquiola wouldn't use this word to describe Aizen and Ichimaru Gin.But if, he said companion——

I turned my head and looked at Urquiola questioningly, he flicked his tail noncommittally.

We followed Aizen all the way to Pomian's territory.

Although Aizen is a god of death, I still have to lament his manipulation of the Reiatsu, and he can use his own Reiatsu to counteract the influence of Stark's Reiatsu in a way that I can't understand at all.Therefore, the broken surface here is not affected.

I don't know why, I always thought that he wouldn't care about the life and death of these bad faces.

The God of Death's rhetoric is not the same as before, from strength to shelter.

If it doesn't sound good to die for me, it sounds much better to be my blade.

Stark was still holding Lilinette's bone helmet, and Gin Ichimaru said casually beside him, "The child is dead and can't survive", and was then reprimanded softly by Aizen.

I followed behind Urquiola, watching the skeleton of Vastod boil and disappear in front of Aizen, and finally, it turned into a human.

"your name."

Stark hadn't stood up yet, Aizen asked condescendingly.

But Stark didn't seem to care, he reported his name seriously, and asked, "Am I your companion now?"

"Slightly~ there is something to be corrected." Gin Ichimaru leaned forward and said while looking at Stark's appearance, "Ur and Garan are not our companions. Ah, is it too late to say now? Do you have any regrets?"

I also noticed that Grim Reaper skipped this topic before.

But since Urquiola doesn't care, I don't need to mention it.If Aizen wants to create as much trouble as possible, I can understand him not mentioning it.

It's just that I suddenly became a little curious about the answer of this Varstord.

Because, at the very beginning, he told Ulquiorra "I want to be your companion".

Not to Aizen.

But Ulquiorra took a step towards Aizen, and that's when I pretty much knew I didn't need to hear Stark's answers.

"I am willing to be your sword, and so is Garan," he wrote.

Aizen looked at him, put on a usual smile, and said, "You always surprise me."

Although this time he probably wasn't surprised at all.

Ulquiorra's process of becoming a broken face was much smoother than Stark's, and Aizen seemed to be satisfied with the result. I guess it was probably because of a part of Ulquiorra's mask that was already shattered.But seeing his mask shattered again, and even his wings cracked and disappeared little by little, I still couldn't help but feel a little nervous.Then Aizen came over to me and asked, "Garan, is it like Urkiola said, are you sure?"

Nothing is certain, and since Urquiola agreed, so should I.

Savoring a hint of disgust at the question, I nod.

The process of face-shattering was more painful than I imagined. The skeleton completely changed its shape from the inside, and the broken mask had already surpassed the limit of death, and I was not even sure whether I still existed.Maybe the next moment will die.Ulkiorra and Stark seemed so calm and peaceful before...?In that instant I understood that Aizen was deliberately pushing me to the limit of Yachukas.There is obviously no need to do this, and I don't think Aizen is doing it to help me.

Presumably, as with creating so many shattered surfaces, it was a matter of trial and error on how to maximize Hollow's power when shattered.

That's why even Yachukas, who was as weak as before, was brought here together. This god of death is doing an experiment.

——just as I intuitively expected.

But this is also my choice.

After all, the god of death has no reason to show kindness to Xu.It is even more ridiculous to expect an excess of friendliness.

The disappearance of the mask stopped at the corner that I had already broken off.

I stood up slowly and looked at the god of death in front of me.He narrowed his eyes slightly.I think he knows that I understand that he treats me as an experimental material and doesn't care about nothing.

But I get it, and it doesn't mean anything.

I try to blink.

The disappearing tail, the touch of a strong wind blowing through the eyelashes.This is a body very similar to a human
