Chapter 221: Steve
Chapter 221: Steve
Fang Mo ultimately did not force Ah Xue to eat the Cosmic Meatball.
After pondering for a moment, Fang Mo decided to try the meatball himself.
Steve prepared a bucket of milk, and Fang Mo also prepared various antidotes. Then Fang Mo threw a meatball into his mouth and began to chew carefully.
The texture was not quite what Fang Mo had expected.
The materialized Cosmic Meatball had no taste.
Moreover, it was extremely chewy, even for Fang Mo's strong jaw, chewing it was a bit strenuous.
Fang Mo speculated that it was probably due to cosmic subatomic dust, anyway, it was extremely chew-resistant, like a large piece of rubber. Fang Mo was worried about indigestion and continued to chew carefully.
However, after chewing for about a few minutes.
The Cosmic Meatball in his mouth suddenly emitted a faint meaty aroma.
And as he continued to chew, the Cosmic Meatball in his mouth began to swell as it mixed with saliva.
As the Cosmic Meatball continued to expand, various kinds of meat aromas began to emit, one by one the sweetness of fish, the richness of beef, the tenderness of chicken. Various complex meaty fragrances mixed together, forming a purely unique and rich aroma.
The rubbery, resilient texture gradually softened into a blend of various kinds of meat.
Tender filet, chewy tendons, soft and sticky hoof sinew, and crispy chest meat; each bite offered a completely different and wonderful sensation, unpredictable flavors that made all the taste buds cheer.
Even his saliva seemed to have turned into a sweet and delicious meat juice.
This Cosmic Meatball.
Fang Mo chewed on it for a good half-hour.
After swallowing the Cosmic Meatball completely, Fang Mo felt as if some kind of power had risen within him.
At first, Fang Mo thought it was a power buff, as it was set up in the game. However, he soon realized that something was off, because this power was not sustained.
It was permanently enhancing his body.
Somewhat similar to essence berries, but seemingly more complicated.
Like eating an enchanted golden apple, Fang Mo could feel something had changed within him, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.
All he could vaguely feel was that, apart from the increase in power, his essence seemed to have been sublimated in some way. It felt like being baptized by the endless cosmic force, both his soul and body were becoming increasingly distant from the 'human' race.
""
Fang Mo looked at the two remaining cosmic meatballs on the table.
Without a word.
He picked one up and put it in his mouth again.
Although Fang Mo always told himself to be human, he knew that some things are inevitable.
The elevation and transcendence of body and soul are not important, as long as one can maintain one's true nature, still being vulgar, then one is still a human.
In any case, the night passed quickly.
Early the next morning.
Inside the barracks of the Tenth Division of Seireitei.
Hitsugaya Toshiro, who hadn't slept all night, was getting a bit restless.
He had been thinking about the disaster last night, and if the other party really didn't kill Aizen, then what was the cause of their death?
Currently, Gin Ichimaru is still receiving treatment in the Fourth Division and is still in a coma, so it's not realistic to look for a breakthrough from him. So after a long thought, Hitsugaya Toshiro decided to go directly to the Central 46 Chambers, because they were the ones who ordered the execution ahead of schedule, which is indeed a bit strange.
"Captain, I'll go with you."
Matsumoto Rangiku also guessed Hitsugaya Toshiro's thoughts and volunteered.
In fact, she was also puzzled by this matter. Rukia Kuchiki's early execution was only one aspect, and there was also the matter of Gin Ichimaru, which obviously had some connection with him. Matsumoto Rangiku, of course, cared a lot about this.
"Uh, sure."
Hitsugaya Toshiro nodded, and then the two set off for the Central 46 Chambers.
However, neither Hitsugaya Toshiro nor Matsumoto Rangiku noticed that the originally unconscious Hinamori Momo had actually woken up, and their conversation had been heard word for word by her.
So the two had just left when Hinamori Momo suddenly opened her eyes.
She got up with a somewhat complicated expression, muttered an apology, and then ran out of the barracks of the Tenth Division from the other side.
Meanwhile.
In the cave where Ichigo Kurosaki was practicing his Bankai.
Ichigo Kurosaki was still fiercely clashing with Uncle Zangetsu, while Fang Mo was leisurely drinking his morning tea, enjoying the sight of the two being driven around by his Zanpakuto.
Worth mentioning is that.
Not far in front of Fang Mo's villa.
A large, majestic tree stood quietly there.
The crown of the tree stretched out for dozens of meters, its leaves constantly changing shape, gradually turning from buds to green, and then becoming withered and falling, continuously falling from the tree.
However, as soon as they touched the ground, these leaves disappeared instantly, and new buds appeared on the branches again, continuously repeating this process.
Of course.
The trunk of this tree is also extremely thick.
The deep brown bark is full of profound grooves, making it look particularly weathered.
A huge golden clock is embedded in the center of the trunk, slowly turning at the moment.
An invisible field of time envelops the entire underground space, accelerating all the changes here. In fact, the morning tea that Fang Mo is drinking now is already the morning tea of the next day.
"Where did you get this tree from?"
Fang Mo is having morning tea, and Yoruichi slowly walks over from a distance, casually grabbing a piece of bread and stuffing it into his mouth: "This thing can actually affect time, this is an achievement that even Urahara Kisuke has not researched."
In fact, this is one of the few divine tree seedlings in the Twilight Forest, the Time Tree, which can greatly accelerate the time around it. In the game, it is shown to increase the growth rate of plants and accelerate the refresh rate of some blocks. Of course, when it comes to reality, this thing has become a treasure, capable of regionally accelerating time, truly a cultivation artifact.
"Black accent also has the same effect, doesn't it?"
Fang Mo obviously doesn't bother to explain the principle of the Time Tree to Yoruichi, and casually says: "Speaking of which, the limit for practicing Bankai with a spirit body is three days, right? Are Ichigo and the others about to finish?"
"Mmm, yes."
Yoruichi nodded, then looked at the two people in the field who were fighting hard: "They should be successful, right?"
"After all, they have the protagonist halo, they must be successful."
Fang Mo waved his hand, not caring, and said: "If they really can't succeed, you can talk to him about bonds and friendships. His companions are waiting for him to go there, guaranteeing that Ichigo will immediately master Bankai."
"Huh?"
Yoruichi was stunned for a moment.
"If it really doesn't work, you can punch a hole through his chest."
Fang Mo continued: "Then tell him that only he can protect Orihime Inoue, don't worry about him dying, just wait for him to fully hollowify."
"Don't bring up hollowification, okay?"
Upon hearing the word "hollowification," Yoruichi couldn't help but complain: "What was the powder you sprinkled on him yesterday? Why did Ichigo hollowify instantly? You're not researching stuff like the Hogyoku, are you?"
"I've already said that it's a transformation powder, not Hogyoku powder."
Fang Mo immediately wiped his face upon hearing this: "The effect of transformation powder is very random, I don't know what it will transform him into. Look at the Ah Xue next to me, she used to be a queen, now she has turned into a young girl, this is what the transformation powder did. I even thought I could transform Ichigo Kurosaki into a girl... No, what I mean is, I hope to make Ichigo stronger, turning into a hollow is just an accident."
"You're even less reliable than Urahara Kisuke."
Yoruichi couldn't help but sigh.
"Talking as if Urahara Kisuke is reliable," Fang Mo commented. "If he hadn't been messing around with that stupid Hogyoku, could Aizen have come up with this plan?"
"True..."
Yoruichi thought for a moment, feeling that Fang Mo had a point, and then changed her words: "You men really aren't that reliable..."
"You want to insult me again?"
Fang Mo said, "Believe it or not, I'll turn into a black man and completely obliterate your principles with one punch!"
"You... fine, I concede?"
Yoruichi wanted to say something more, but recalling how troublesome Fang Mo was, she immediately raised her hands in surrender: "Anyway, it's a crucial moment for Ichigo's training, I need to go and keep an eye on him."
"Oh, you go ahead."
Fang Mo nodded, standing up as he had almost finished his morning tea: "I should also get going, I need to go to Central 46 Chambers before the execution."
"What are you going there for?"
Yoruichi wondered.
"Oh." Fang Mo said, pulling out a spherical object from his pocket: "I have to deliver some hair gel to Aizen."
Although the final battlefield of the arc was on the Sokyoku Hill.
But after Aizen went there, he was quickly wrapped in a barrier that, according to the setting, could not be penetratedmaking him essentially invincible and free to show off.
So, if you want to mess with this hidden BOSS, you must go to the hidden map.
If I remember correctly, after faking his death, Aizen has been hiding in Central 46 Chambers. All the aristocratic judges and sages there have been killed by him, and Hitsugaya Toshiro is probably heading there too.
Of course, Hinamori Momo also met Aizen here. She wanted to throw herself into his arms but ended up being stabbed in the chest.
Obviously, Fang Mo wouldn't want to miss this classic moment.
With that thought, Fang Mo disappeared instantly.
