System, exchange for a special modified soul!"
[Acquired: Special Modified Soul]
As the system's voice faded, the 5 medium-sized souls in the backpack disappeared, and a sapphire blue glass bead appeared in Rhode's hand.
"A glass bead?"
Rhode was slightly surprised, then held the sapphire blue glass bead in front of his eyes to observe.
Through the sapphire blue outer glass, one could see a curled-up little infant inside the bead, in a state between gas and solid.
Rhode asked curiously, "System, how do I use this thing?"
[Ding~ The host can consume it]
Consume?
Rhode's eyes twitched slightly, but thinking that the system shouldn't deceive him, he swallowed the glass bead as instructed.
As soon as the sapphire blue glass bead entered his mouth, it instantly turned into a stream of air, flowing and wandering within his limbs and bones!
Immediately afterwards, Rhode's soul suddenly shook, and a wonderful feeling surged into his heart, just like a pregnant woman about to give birth!
Buzz~
Only to see the spiritual particles in the underground space suddenly gather into a vortex, and then countless sapphire blue light spots emanated from Rhode's soul, gradually condensing with the help of the spiritual particles.
However, it has not yet fully formed, it is now just the spiritual particles gathering to form a shape similar to a 'person', and it is only one last step away from being born!
[Ding~ The host can silently imagine the appearance of the modified soul in their mind]
[Ding~ The appearance of the modified soul can be changed, with no upper limit to the number of times]
Whoa~ Awesome!
As expected of a special product priced as high as 5 medium-sized souls, this function is catching up with the Cyberpunk 2077 next door!
"Wait... Cyberpunk?"
Rhode's eyes lit up, and he suddenly had a very bold idea.
I wonder if it's possible to...
Ahem, this question is beyond the scope, next!
Rhode looked at the modified soul that was not yet formed, waiting to be 'created', and decided who he wanted to 'mold'!
Toshiro Hitsugaya!
It's not that he likes him the most, but that Rhode currently only has his Bankai. Considering the subsequent situation, he is naturally the best choice.
Rhode closed his eyes and conceived the appearance of Toshiro Hitsugaya in his mind:
Silver-white messy hair, a face with a slightly youthful temperament, emerald green eyes, and a slender body...
As the image in Rhode's mind became more and more realistic, the humanoid creature condensed from spiritual particles also changed its appearance accordingly!
"Come out~ Toshiro Hitsugaya!"
The gathered spiritual particles slowly dissipated, and a man about 1.7 meters tall appeared.
Under a head of silver-white, messy short hair, were a pair of emerald green eyes, their gaze like a ten-thousand-year-old unmelting ice, and the angular facial lines made him look as exquisite as a perfectly carved sculpture.
This was an adult version of Toshiro Hitsugaya, created by Rhode with reference to the Thousand-Year Blood War arc of Bleach!
In fact, in the original work, Toshiro Hitsugaya could originally transform into this form.
It's just that he himself disliked that this form would cause 'decline', so he has always appeared as a shota.
But as the first appearance of [Thirteen Court Guard Squads], Rhode decided after considering it again and again, to choose this adult version of Toshiro Hitsugaya's image.
Although not as popular as the shota version, when facing the old schemers of S.H.I.E.L.D., the adult version's temperament is obviously more stable, which is very in line with the name [Thirteen Court Guard Squads]!
And speaking of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads, then one has to mention the Captain's Haori!
As the iconic clothing of the Captain, Rhode naturally would not be without it.
This time, Rhode also decided to change it slightly, because the image of the Shinigami uniform is biased towards Japanese style, which can easily arouse S.H.I.E.L.D.'s suspicion.
So the modified Shinigami uniform has been changed to a black, long coat-like style. Compared with the original Shinigami uniform, it is more inclined to Ichigo Kurosaki's clothing after Bankai, and no longer has such a strong kimono style.
The Captain's Haori draped on the outside, as the spiritual representative of the Captain, was changed to a long-sleeved, wide-mouthed cloak, with several carved lines on the hem, and the serial number of the affiliated squad was printed on the back of the Haori!
After putting on the new version of the Shinigami uniform and the Captain's Haori, an adult version of Toshiro Hitsugaya appeared!
"It's like! It's just too similar!"
Rhode looked at the modified soul he created, and couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration in his heart: "As expected of me, my face-pinching skills are still so outstanding!"
The newly born modified soul showed confusion in its eyes, and looked at Rhode blankly, and asked: "Excuse me... are you my master?"
The modified soul could clearly feel the warmth from Rhode's soul, just like a mother's embrace, naturally wanting to be close and dedicate itself!
And Rhode's feelings were even clearer!
His senses seemed to have been extended, and he could clearly perceive the uneasiness and confusion of this modified soul at this moment.
Even...
Rhode had a special feeling that he could completely override his will above the will of the modified soul, and control him like a puppet!
And the most terrifying thing is that the special modified soul can share part of the main body's ability!
If you still don't understand, then let me give you an example!
Imagine... if Yamamoto Genryusai used a special modified soul, then what the Wandenreich would face would be two 『Zanka no Tachi』!
Hiss...
This scene, Rhode felt terrified just thinking about it.
This is the special modified soul!
Rhode finally understood why the Soul Society would ban this technology and order Kisuke Urahara to permanently seal it!
If this technology is mass-produced, then the number of Captain-level Shinigami will increase exponentially!
Once the number of civilian Shinigami increases, it will inevitably create conflicts with the nobles in the Soul Society, and there may be another war!
So in order to protect the status and rights of the nobles, they chose to ban this technology, and in the end, Rhode got the benefit!
"From today onwards..."
Rhode put one hand on the shoulder of the modified soul, and a gentle and humble smile rose from the corner of his lips, as warm as snow melting in spring, and said: "Your name will be Haschwalth, who is my other half and also my shadow."
The reason why he gave him this name is because, in Rhode's opinion, the modified soul is almost exactly the same as the original Haschwalth, and can share his abilities and mind, existing like another half of himself.
The modified soul... no, he should be called Haschwalth now. From today onwards, he has his own name.
"My name... is Haschwalth."
The confusion on Haschwalth's face disappeared, replaced by solemnity, and then he slowly knelt down on one knee, as if declaring an oath: "Master... your will is my will."
"I need you to impersonate Toshiro Hitsugaya now." Rhode projected the plan he had been brewing in his mind to Haschwalth through telepathy.
"I understand."
Haschwalth replied in a deep voice without thinking: "As you wish, I will become Toshiro Hitsugaya."
Very good, not bad!
Very loyal!
Rhode smiled, he couldn't wait to see if that baldy's face would turn even darker!
Hmm... or maybe it will turn even whiter?
