Chapter 601: The Truth
First of all, one thing had to be clear.
That was that hollow's birth was not a coincidence, but a product of years of suffering, ultimately losing the soul after the fall of the heart.
After the soul fell, a black 'hole' would appear on its chest, indicating that it had lost the heart of a human, and its face would be covered by a white bone mask. Only at this step would it be determined to be the real hollow.
However, the four hollow in front of him seemed to be a little different from the hollow he knew of.
The masks on their faces were not complete. They only covered half of their faces. Moreover, there were no holes in their chests. The overflowing Spiritual Power gave off a chaotic feeling, as if he was a half-finished product!
"Oh, you can actually see us?"
The biggest one among them, hollow, noticed Tony's strange expression and revealed a sinister smile. "This is perfect. You can feel how terrifying we are and experience how powerful humans are after evolution!"
The one who spoke was the man named Erik. He was the most muscular of them all, hollow. He was twice as tall as the others and was about five or six stories tall. Among these hollow, his mind and rationality were considered to be one of the more complete ones.
"The evolved humans."
Tony raised his eyebrows and looked at them in surprise. As he muttered these words, he suddenly seemed to understand. "So you don't know that your current state is actually a product of the fallen soul?"
"A product of the fallen. soul?" Erik was stunned. His chaotic brain did not quite understand the meaning of this sentence.
"Don't make people laugh their teeth off. What evolved human?" Tony sneered and shook his head. There was a hint of disdain in his eyes. "A group of defective products that are not even complete, yet they dare to call themselves evolution?"
"hollow? Fallen by half? Defective products?"
The new words that came out one after another confused Airick. He felt a strange sense of panic. "What are you talking about? What is hollow? What is a defective product? Why do you seem to know him so well?"
"You asked me how I found out?"
The steel armor suddenly broke apart. Tony walked out of the armor without any defense. He tilted his head and smiled, "The reason is that I have already seen a soul creature like this."
"He actually dared to walk out from inside?"
Airick felt Erik humiliated and immediately let out an angry roar, "Tony Stark, you actually look down on us and pay the price for your arrogance!"
A savage beast roar shattered the floor, as if it was the sound of an attack.
Four and a half hollow surrounded Tony in the middle. They all raised their huge fists and smashed them at this arrogant human. The sharp sound of the fist's tip exploding in the air caused the airflow to be shaken and spread out.
Bang!!!!!
The several centimeters thick cement ground was directly smashed by the fist.
The terrifying power that surpassed ordinary people by ten times, even the steel and mixed soil could not withstand it. It let out a cry of cracking and collapsing. It had already been transformed into a ruined villa by missiles and bullets. After the ground was penetrated, a large hole several centimeters in diameter was revealed.
However, when the smoke and dust dissipated, Tony and Maya were nowhere to be seen.
Just as hollow was feeling puzzled and looked down through the hole in the floor, he heard a mocking voice.
"Yo, are you looking for me?"
Erik and the others were shocked and looked at the source of the voice.
Tony Stark was dressed in a long black dress, and a long, ordinary looking sword was hanging at his waist. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at them leisurely with a half-joking and half-mocking look.
Just the eye contact alone made Airick feel as if he had died a thousand times.
Spiritual Power, which was naturally revealed from Tony Stark, exuded a pressure as heavy as the sea, making it difficult for these semi- hollow to even breathe. It was like facing a predator at the top of the food chain, and could be torn apart and devoured at any time.
Was this guy really a human?
Erik's confused mind could not understand what was happening in front of him.
"I forgot to tell you."
Tony looked at them with a fake smile. Then, he slowly said, "I am no longer a human. To be more accurate, the current me should be called death god. One of my usual duties is to kill you fallen hollow."
"Kill... us"
A near-solid atmosphere of death instantly enveloped the heads of a few half- hollow.
The cold killing intent that filled the air was like the biting cold wind in winter. The bone-chilling cold that it brought was enough to freeze their souls. Their stiff limbs seemed to have rusted. Even moving their fingers was an extravagant hope.
The level of Spiritual Power on both sides was not in a dimension at all.
Just a few half-transformed souls of hollow, in front of the fifth-grade Spiritual Power, they were as weak as lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Clang ---
Zanpakuto, which was at his waist, slowly unsheathed, reflecting a bright and dazzling light.
Fear reached its peak at this moment. The special fluctuations added by zanpakuto stimulated the skin and depths of their brains, making every nerve let out a crazy wail. All the cells in their bodies were constantly transmitting fear and death!
Run! Run!
In almost an instant, Erik turned around and ran without hesitation.
A sharp gust of wind swept past the back of his head, accompanied by a sharp whistle as sword's wind brushed against the air, followed by a heavy sound like something falling and rolling on the floor.
Erik did not dare to look back, but he caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye.
The three heads of hollow were like rubber balls. They were rolling on the floor. The broken neck was as smooth as a mirror. In the eyes of several heads, there was even the ruthlessness of life. It could be seen how sharp and fast sword was.
Hu ---
The wind of death blew from behind again.
"No. Don't kill me! I am willing to tell you everything. Please don't kill me!"
The fear in Erik's heart reached its peak. Although the human rationality that hollow retained during his transformation could make it stronger than the other half of hollow, it also meant that it was more afraid of death than the other half hollow.
Qiang!
Zanpakuto happened to stop on Erik's neck, and the sharp sword cut through its skin.
A trace of penetrating chill seeped into the depths of his heart and traveled along the edge of sword's neck. Erik could not help but rejoice that he had opened his mouth quickly. If he had been a second slower, his head would have been moved.
"Speak."
Tony stepped on Erik's shoulder and placed sword on his neck. He said gloomily, "You only have one chance. If there is anything that I am not satisfied with, then go and accompany your brothers."
Feeling the cold touch of sword's blade, Erik swallowed his saliva and said with a trembling voice, "I know a lot of things, including the truth of Mandarin, but you have to promise me that you will let me go after I tell you!"
"No problem."
Tony did not hesitate at all and promised directly, "I can swear to God that as long as you tell me all the truth, I will let you live. If I violate this oath, I will be punished by God to go to hell and be burned and pierced by the fire!"
