Chapter 23: First Contact With The Right Arm Of The Spirit King
More than two years have passed since Jūshirō Ukitake was first treated.
Each cycle of Arima's treatment for Jūshirō Ukitake spans a long time, lasting several months. He comes to treat Jūshirō Ukitake specifically when his disease relapses.
Speaking carefully, Jūshirō Ukitake is really not easy.
Although because of the Spirit King's right arm, his life was saved and he did not die at the age of three.
But the Soul King's right arm did not cure him, but used the power of "stillness" contained in the right arm itself to maintain the disease in his body in a state where it could not be cured or worsened.
Although it is a disease, apart from the onset of illness, there are occasionally times when the condition is relatively good.
This resulted in Jūshirō Ukitake falling ill every few months and needing to stay in bed for more than a month.
Even though Jūshirō Ukitake has now become the captain of Gotei 13 and is considered a strong one among the captains, he still cannot cure the disease in his body.
Because this is the power of the rule system, not an ordinary illness.
When the power of the Soul King's right arm wrapped around Jūshirō Ukitake's lungs, his lungs had become part of the "stillness" power of the Soul King's right arm.
In the past two years, Arima gradually figured out the reality of Sourit King's right arm.
This power sleeps in Jūshirō Ukitake's lungs and is in a sealed state, but if the necessary moment comes, Jūshirō Ukitake can choose to unlock the seal and dedicate everything he has to the Soul King's right arm and become his incarnation.
At that time, Jūshirō Ukitake will no longer be himself, but will become...the Spirit King.
Of course, because it only has one right arm, it is not a complete Spirit King, but it still has the ability to serve as the cornerstone of the world and support it.
In the past two years, Arima has made many attempts to steal the power of the Soul King's right arm in Jūshirō Ukitake's body, even if it is only part of it, but this part is still the power of the Soul King.
The power contained in the Soul King's body is completely different from the power of the Soul King that was injected into his body when he was in the Zero Division.
Arima has already had his own experience with the power of the Spiritual King.
It is indeed an extremely powerful force that can surpass all spiritual powers.
It is the original power of the world.
It is precisely because of the existence of this power that is supporting the existence of this world.
But part of the Spirit King's body is even more mysterious. In addition to the Spirit King's power, there are also various strange powers that can be called rules.
For example, its left arm represents "Advance", that is, the power of evolution, while its right arm represents the power of "stillness".
(T/N: Bro we get it. Right arm=stillness Left arm=Advance)
While constantly secretly studying the right arm of the Spirit King in Jūshirō Ukitake's body, Arima couldn't help but make some guesses.
For example, in the original work, the Soul King fragment used by Aizen to create Hōgyoku, that is, the Soul King fingertip ripped out of Matsumoto Rangiku's soul, could not have come from the Soul King's left arm.
The left arm of the Spirit King represents the power of "Advance" and has infinite possibilities for evolution.
One of the great functions of Hōgyoku is that it allows people to evolve infinitely.
If it is just the power of the fingertips, even if it comes from the right arm, it will naturally not reach that level.
However, in the process of making Hōgyoku, I don't know how many Shinigami and Hollow souls were put into it by Aizen.
A large number of souls, coupled with the power of the Spirit King's fingertips, was enough to push this originally weak evolutionary force to an incredible level.
Since the Soul King's fingertips, which represent the evolved left arm, can create Hōgyoku.
So, can you try to extract some power from the Soul King's right arm, which represents the stillness?
In the past two years.
Arima made many attempts, but unfortunately, the Soul King's right arm was tightly inhabited in Jūshirō Ukitake's lungs, and he could not shake it at all. For this reason, he thought about trying to develop a new Kidō.
Use Kidō means to reach the power of the Spirit King.
Although it is a very difficult thing, for Arima, who has retired, it is still something that makes him very interested.
As a Shinigami who once joined the Zero Division and then retired from the Zero Division.
Although privately, Arima regards himself as a mediocre person, in the eyes of others, he is not a mediocre person, but a true genius.
In two years, Arima successfully developed the new Kidō.
In the process of using Kaidō to help Jūshirō Ukitake's treatment, Arima secretly used his newly developed Kidō. In an instant, a translucent light film appeared in his hand. With the help of this light film, Arima's arm directly probed into Jūshirō Ukitake's body.
Because of Arima's previous suggestion during treatment.
Therefore, during the treatment process, Jūshirō Ukitake would just close his eyes and let Arima do what he did.
After inserting his arm into Jūshirō Ukitake's body, Arima's hand touched Jūshirō Ukitake's lungs, and then, an extremely powerful force surged out from it, instantly repelling his palm.
It is as if the lungs belong to its territory and no existence is allowed to come and covet it.
While this process was going on, Jūshirō Ukitake also noticed the changes in his body and opened his eyes suddenly.
Immediately he saw Arima's arm thrust into his body.
'I regarded you as a senior, but you ripped out my heart? '
Although Jūshirō Ukitake didn't complain, this scene was indeed a bit scary.
Arima felt Jūshirō Ukitake's gaze, and he retracted his arm. After retracting his arm, Jūshirō Ukitake had no wounds on his body, and he did not feel any pain.
Arima explained to him: "In order to cure your problem, during this time, I have tried to develop a new Kidō to check the true condition of your lungs."
"So that's it."
Jūshirō Ukitake was not surprised either, and was not shocked that Arima was able to develop a new Kidō.
After all, it is senior Arima, so developing a new Kidō is not a difficult task for him.
"What about my body?" Jūshirō Ukitake asked Arima.
Arima said: "Your physical condition is very complicated, but I already have some clues."
"If you can give me some more time, maybe I can try to cure you."
"If it isn't too troublesome for senior Arima." After two years of treatment, Jūshirō Ukitake has believed in Arima wholeheartedly.
Arima didn't say much. Although he still couldn't win the power of the Spirit King's right arm, it was good news to be able to touch that power.
Then he used Kaidō to temporarily help Jūshirō Ukitake relieve the pain caused by the disease.
