Marvel With Zanpakutou

Chapter 575: Brief Respite

Chapter 575: Brief Respite

Spirit Cleansing Pavilion.

A man dragged his tired and heavy body and pushed open the door with the golden bell hanging on it.

The two golden bells shook and collided together, making a crisp and melodious ring. As soon as Lod entered the door, he immediately saw Nemu. She was holding a big bucket of ice cream and sitting on the sofa watching cartoons. She was laughing from time to time.

"Ah ---Brother"

Nemu's face immediately turned pale. She hurriedly hid the large bucket of ice cream behind her back.

However, the bucket of ice cream was too big. It was almost half the size of Nemu. Even if it was hidden behind her back, Lod could still see it at a glance.

Nemu was like a child who had been caught for making a mistake. He stared at Lod with a pair of large, dark eyes. He looked pitifully at Lod and said timidly, "I'm sorry, brother. I couldn't help but eat a little ice cream."

A little bit.

Lod glanced at the ice cream bucket and found that only a third of the ice cream was left. The bucket was full of potholes. Suddenly, he couldn't help but chuckle. He walked over and rubbed Nemu's little head.

"Brother, aren't you angry?"

A surprised smile appeared on Nemu's face. His eyes curved into two crescent moons, as if he was glad that he had avoided a calamity.

"Don't do it again next time ---"

Lod flicked Nemu's forehead and chuckled. "Children can't eat so much ice cream. It's not good for their development."

"Oh, I know!"

Nemu covered her forehead with tears and pouted, "I won't do it again next time. Don't flick Nemu's head. It hurts!"

"As long as Nemu doesn't steal food next time, I won't flick you." Lod pinched Nemu's chubby face and said with a smile.

"I'll send four ---I won't steal food next time!" Nemu raised three fingers and said seriously, "If you steal food again next time, brother, you will."

At the end of his sentence, Nemu lowered his voice and stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.

Lod gently stroked her hair and suddenly thought of Naike Xiya in his mind.

If the child did not die, it should be very interesting to see Nemu in the future. With Nemu's current character of "bullying the city", he estimated that he would be threatened to call her aunt.

"Brother. Are you unhappy?" Nemu saw the sadness that flashed in Lod's eyes and the eyebrows that could not help but frown. She could not help but reach out her little hand to touch his cheek and gently comforted him, "No matter what happens, Nemu will share the burden with you. So please don't bear it alone, okay?"

"Nemu..."

Lod lowered his eyes and his eyelashes trembled slightly. After a long silence, he said in a hoarse voice, "If one day... I become a person without the slightest emotion, losing all humanity, and no longer values your lives, what will you do then?"

"But... Brother, why did you become like that?" Nemu tilted her head, expressing that she did not understand.

"Perhaps it was to pursue strength."

There was a hint of loss between Lod's brows. He sighed faintly, "In fact, even I don't know why I became like that, a completely strange self to me."

"It doesn't matter, don't worry!" Nemu put her two little hands on Lod's face. The warm and soft touch woke him up from his low state of mind. "No matter what kind of child you become, Nemu will always be by your side. If you lose your humanity and emotions, then Nemu will help you find what you lost!"

"Alright, then it's a deal!"

Lod was moved by this innocence. He smiled and pinched Nemu's face, then extended his pinky. "Nemu made an agreement with me. If one day I lose my humanity and emotions and become a stranger to you, remember to help me find those things I lost."

"En!"

Nemu nodded heavily. Her small hands connected with the big hand and she shouted tenderly, "Pull the hook and hang it. Don't change for a hundred years!"

Lod smiled and said, "Whoever wants to change is a puppy!"

"Brother, I want to eat!"

"What do you want to eat?"

"Sweet and sour pork ribs!"

"No problem, leave it to me!"

...

...

...

At night, the moon hung high in the sky.

Lod covered the sleeping Nemu with the quilt. He looked at the little girl who was still smashing her mouth in her sleep. She murmured that he still wanted to eat braised pork. He could not help but chuckle and shake his head. Then he turned around and walked out of the room carefully.

After coming to the underground amusement park, Lod planned to count the harvest of this time.

At that time, the situation was really too urgent and dangerous. The oppressive feeling of the incomplete god and the vast giant eye was strong enough to be called the strongest one in his life. After the end, he was recovering his injuries. So he did not have time to check the system prompt.

The transparent screen was presented in front of him, and Lod glanced at it one by one.

"Not bad."

After Lod browsed through all the rewards, he was not as excited as usual. He just nodded calmly.

Ever since he learned about his future self, he had always felt that there was a huge rock weighing on his heart, especially Naike Xiya's last glance. That heavy feeling made him even more unable to let go.

The silence lasted for a long time. Lod sighed and sat cross-legged. It was sword's preparation posture.

There was something in his heart that he wanted to ask Guan Canghai.

Breathing.

After several breaths of calm and concentration, Lod's mind gradually sank into sword.

When he opened his eyes again, the scenery had already changed. In the vast and boundless sea of clouds, there stood a proud and aloof mountain peak. At the top was a huge platform. The broken surface was as smooth as if it had been sliced by sword.

"Welcome back, Master."

The gentle woman with black hair to her waist smiled as she got up and bowed. "I know what you want to ask, but I can't tell you about it right now. After all, that child doesn't like you very much."

"Sure enough, it exists."

Lod was not surprised. He only confirmed his thoughts. He could not help but sigh. "Even I did not know that there was a second zanpakuto. You hid it from me so bitterly, Guan Canghai."

"Please do not blame me, master ---"

Guan Canghai lowered his head apologetically and said with grievance, "That child doesn't want me to tell you, so I have no choice."

"Logically speaking, there shouldn't be too much of a difference in ability between zanpakuto and me." Lod finally asked the question in his heart, "But your abilities are almost completely different. What is going on?"

"Generally speaking, it is like this."

Guan Canghai looked at him meaningfully and said, "A soul can only give birth to one zanpakuto. This is an iron law that all death god has to abide by. But you are different. You are a special existence that has never appeared before."
