Chapter 687: The Return of Black and the Changed Bankai!!!
Through the breaking skies and collapsing icy earth, one question had slipped away like an eel.
What had been Orochimaru doing hundreds of feet deep into the ice anyway?!
With Kai needing all the cards just to Survive against the 12th-floor Contestant, it didn't make sense for him to let go of Orochimaru on a run.
However, even in those times, Kai had been planning several steps.
No matter what reasons the Timeline or DEATH had given him to go into the Cursed Vault of Ice, he hadn't forgotten the prime objective.
Herpo the Foul's Horcrux!
As told to him by the Lord of Azkaban, who was now hidden at Cunestune, the Cured Vault of Ice hid the Ice Horcrux, Glacial Cursed Ice, deep into its womb.
This Horcrux was not only the power source behind the Cursed Ice but as long as it existed, there was no truly getting rid of the ice as well.
As long as the Glacial Cursed Ice existed, the Cursed Ice would keep trying to take over the world, freezing all and everything in its path.
So, Kai had directed the Legendary Sannin to search for the Horcrux while he fought against the Mad Commander.
And Orochimaru had indeed found the magical object.
