The Pursuit into Hueco Mundo, Schemes and Plots

He hadn't expected to lose so easily.

The opponent was Soul Reaper (Death God), and he failed without even using his Shikai or Bankai.

Are you kidding me?

Am I going to die here today?

Crack! The sky behind him split open, and the pitch-black Garganta reappeared.

The Third Blade Tier Harribel, stepped forward, grabbed Nnoitra with one hand, and immediately turned and left.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave!"

Kenpachi Zaraki's eyes lit up when he saw Tier Harribel, and he rushed over, disappearing into the Garganta along with the two of them.

Chapter 182 Pursuit of Hueco Mundo, Conspiracy and Tricks

The sound of the Garganta opening again naturally did not escape the notice of the current Seireitei.

At the gate, the three captains who were fighting Ulquiorra and Yammy simultaneously sensed that something was wrong.

While attacking, Shunsui Kyōraku asked, "Has Hueco Mundo sent reinforcements again?"

But in the next moment, he also sensed that the Arrancar that emerged from the Garganta took another Arrancar with it.

Moreover, Kenpachi Zaraki chased after them, which made him anxious as well.

Kenpachi Zaraki is indeed very strong; he could definitely rank in the top three among the current captains.

However, this doesn't mean he can single-handedly dominate the entire Hueco Mundo; even the strongest have their limits.

"You're in a hurry," Ulquiorra replied calmly.

Shunsui Kyōraku stopped his attack, stood still, and his gaze turned cold.

If Kenpachi Zaraki were to perish after traveling to Hueco Mundo, the Seireitei would be missing a powerful fighting force.

Therefore, at least one of these two Arrancar must be left alive, otherwise the situation will become too dire.

He breathed a heavy sigh of relief; it seemed the time had come to use his Bankai.

Just as he was preparing to give it his all, Jūshirō Ukitake noticed and immediately tried to step forward to stop Yammy.

He was very familiar with his friend Shunsui's Bankai.

And he also roughly guessed why he was planning to use his full strength here.

Therefore, he had to hold off Yammy and let his friend Shunsui take out his enemy.

But at that moment, Ulquiorra suddenly waved his hands.

Countless Bala burst forth, transforming into a torrential downpour that rushed towards Shunsui Kyōraku.

He then put his hands back in his pockets, turned around, and said, "Yammy, time to go."

As he finished speaking, he was already behind Yammy.

This big guy is really hot-tempered right now, his head burning with rage.

He was extremely frustrated because he hadn't been able to land a single hit on Jūshirō Ukitake during this period.

But after Ulquiorra's pale hand patted his shoulder, his anger subsided considerably, and he roared at Jūshirō Ukitake:

"Next time we meet, I'm definitely going to eat you up!"

With a soft rustling sound, the two Sonído to leave the area.

This is the first place where Hueco Mundo opened. Shortly after the battle, Mayuri Kurotsuchi had already placed a space-restricting device around this door.

They cannot expand the Garganta here.

"Hurry and chase after them!" Shunsui Kyōraku shouted urgently.

He glanced at Unohana standing in front of the door, sighed, and said...

"Captain Unohana, why didn't you stop them?"

Unohana simply smiled and replied, "I think healing is more useful than killing in this battle."

In fact, she had been suppressing her desire to participate in the battle.

Moreover, the battles that have taken place in these locations have already resulted in widespread casualties.

She stood at the door as the last line of defense, also to prevent these two powerful Arrancar from entering Seireitei and causing chaos.

The casualties will likely increase several dozen times over by then.

Shunsui Kyōraku didn't say much, but gave Ukitake a wink and quickly followed after him.

Meanwhile, Unohana contacted the members of the Fourth Division: "All members, activate your Reishi senses. The most important thing right now is to save the wounded."

After giving the order, she headed towards Rukongai.

There were also many people there who were caught in the crossfire and were seriously injured and on the verge of death.

Tenth Division, Kaname Tōsen, also noticed that the battles on several battlefields had ended.

He spoke softly to Tōshirō, who remained encased in ice and fighting passively:

"Although you are a genius, without the courage to fight the enemy, you will most likely stop here in the future."

He then gripped his Zanpakuto tightly with both hands, gathered his spiritual energy, and prepared to deliver the final blow to Tōshirō.

He was completely unaware that his breath formed white mist when he spoke.

In just a moment, the white mist turned into ice crystals and fell.

The next moment, countless ice flowers enveloped his Enma Kōrogi Barrier.

The originally pitch-black oval barrier has now been completely transformed into a large, frozen salted duck egg.

Crackling sounds rang out from all directions, reaching Kaname Tōsen's ears.

Only then did he realize something was wrong, and he quickly resumed his senses.

But by then it was too late.

Poof! His Enma Kōrogi Barrier shattered instantly, and countless ice blocks rushed towards him.

At this moment, Tōshirō spread his wings and said coldly, "The first thing Boss Misao taught me was that once you decide to fight, you must win."

His words were icy cold as he pointed the blade of the Daiguren Hyōrinmaru at Kaname Tōsen.

The next moment, the surrounding environment had already turned into countless ice blocks, which condensed into ice spikes as Tōshirō moved, all pointing their sharp heads at Kaname Tōsen.

The sheer volume of ice blocks was so overwhelming that just looking at them made Kaname Tōsen instinctively want to use Shunpo to escape.

Just as he was about to start moving, he noticed something was wrong; he felt a weakness in his legs.

He looked down and realized that his feet were frostbitten.

Even a Soul Reaper, or even a human being, would react to their own physical condition; it's impossible for them not to notice frostbite on their feet.

Seeing his completely bewildered expression, Tōshirō spoke coldly:

"First of all, you may have a misunderstanding. My Daiguren Hyōrinmaru ability is not just about manipulating the weather. My ability is freezing, and it even includes your senses."

"What?" Kaname Tōsen opened his mouth, his face full of disbelief.

Manipulating atmospheric gases to form ice, or directly manipulating ice, falls under the category of elemental manipulation.

The freezing that Tōshirō mentioned earlier belongs to the rule-based ability; the two are not even in the same dimension.

Tōshirō spoke coldly, "So, freeze it! Thousand Needle Funeral!"

The ice floating in the sky transformed into the sharpest blades, piercing towards Tōsen.

But not only were Tōsen's feet frozen, his mind also became sluggish. He couldn't react and just stood there blankly.

Boom! A green Cero descended from the sky, striking Kaname Tōsen directly and creating a massive shockwave.

The violent explosion completely destroyed the Tenth Division's barracks.

"Another enemy?" Tōshirō looked up and saw Ulquiorra and Yammy appear in the sky.

"Three Arrancars, this is a bit tricky." He turned slightly to the side and glanced at the three remaining ice flowers behind him.

If we delay any longer, there's still a chance.

Once the ice flowers completely dissipate, he will be able to unleash his full power.

He sensed the Reiatsu from Shunsui Kyōraku and Jūshirō Ukitake who were rushing over, so he roared, "Hold them off!"

"Haineko!"

"Shakkahō!"

"Sōkatsui!..."

The Tenth Division Vice-Captain Rangiku Matsumoto, along with the various Seated Officers and soldiers, launched an attack on the two figures in the sky.

"These guys are pretty good; they didn't wet their pants when they saw us."

Yammy casually waved his hand, directly swatting away all the various Kidō that were attacking him.

Ulquiorra looked down and said coldly, "Indeed, the Soul Reapers here are of higher quality."

Then he pointed his index finger into the air, and a crack instantly appeared, revealing a dark, Garganta cavity inside.

The next moment, he landed on the ground and reached out to grab Kaname Tōsen by the back of his collar.

Only then did Shunsui Kyōraku arrive, shouting loudly:

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave, gentlemen? Why don't you stay and have a cup of tea before you go?"

Ulquiorra said coldly, "You should think about how to deal with your own troubles first." After saying that, the three of them entered the Garganta.

Hi Tōshirō frowned; at this moment, only one ice flower leaf remained behind him.

If we catch up with them--

"Captain Hitsugaya, please don't pursue them. We can't afford to lose another captain now."

Hearing Shunsui Kyōraku's advice, Tōshirō, who was itching to pursue, weighed the pros and cons and gave up the chase.

Immediately following was a thumping sound—an alarm signaling an emergency meeting of team leaders.

Shunsui Kyōraku sighed, "I'm afraid I'm going to get scolded this time."

First Division meeting room.

At the outermost edge of the captains' formation was a phantom figure, none other than Tokoyomi Morisaka, the captain of World of the Living Tenth Division, who was in the Tokoyo Misao.

This is Mayuri Kurotsuchi's latest 3D communication device, prototype version one.

It was originally developed to enable quick communication with the Soul Reaper stationed in the World of the Living realm, but I never expected it to come in handy so soon.

Meanwhile, Tokoyo Misao World of the Living, was watching the large screen on the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce.

Just now, Shunsui Kyōraku had given a concise account of what had happened in Soul Society.

Tokoyo Misao also somewhat surprised, not expecting Aizen to choose to have the Arrancar invade Seireitei first.

He began, "There are no Arrancar invading in the World of the Living, only occasionally some relatively strong Hollows appear."

The World of the Living been peaceful and stable for some time now, except that small Garganta occasionally open, from which an individual with strength approaching that of Menos Grande might emerge, a situation that ordinary Soul Reaper members would find difficult to handle.

Moreover, these individuals were scattered, but fortunately, with the help of the Visored, they did not cause any damage to the World of the Living.

Captain-Commander Yamamoto asked in a deep voice, "Is the statistics complete?"

The Vice-Captain Sasakibe stepped forward. "This attack on Hueco Mundo resulted in the deaths of dozens of Seated Officers and hundreds of soldiers."

11th Division Captain Kenpachi Zaraki pursued the Arrancar into Hueco Mundo; his fate is unknown.

The atmosphere in the meeting room instantly became tense.

The number of Seated Officers and soldiers who died this time was a bit too many.

If we were to convert the soul density of a Seated Officer into that of an ordinary Rukongai, it would be equivalent to at least several, or even tens of thousands, of such souls.

Even the most ordinary Soul Reaper can be worth more than a hundred.

In other words, there must be a shortage of at least hundreds of thousands of souls this time.

However, they failed to kill the Arrancar, and the balance of the Three Worlds is in grave danger.
