The battle between Grimmjow, Picaro, and Nnoitra was forcibly stopped by the Negación, and Ulquiorra pulled them back to avoid being surrounded.
After losing track of Urahara and the others, the Captain-level returned to Soul Society, Kyōraku began reporting to Yama-jii about the Hōgyoku...
"I just learned about the Hōgyoku from Kisuke Urahara. He added a method to the seal of the Hōgyoku that can put people to sleep. Nangong Ling is very likely to be asleep right now. I think we should take this opportunity to attack Hueco Mundo."
Kyōraku stated that the information came from Urahara and mentioned its possibility.
"It's true that we've had information about the Hōgyoku for a long time, but why would he help us like this, and how can we trust him, regarding his scheme to put Nangong Ling sleep?"
Yama-jii had followed Urahara's case before, and given his position, he naturally knew everything.
"Don't you understand? Urahara was able to save Shinji Hirako and the others without incurring hatred, which means he couldn't have been the mastermind behind the illegal Hollowfication Experiments. There must have been someone else..."
Kyōraku's words startled Yama-jii- no-Kami. If that's the case, then there are still some truly wicked villains hiding within their Gotei 13.
Yama-jii's mind began to race: 'In other words, Urahara and the others have been wronged from the beginning, and the hidden traitors are likely Aizen and Kaname Tōsen. Kaname Tōsen dead, and Gin Ichimaru, who served under Aizen, can also be considered one. Amagai Shūsuke him, so he is also highly suspicious...'
This isn't the original timeline; it's just a matter of a few thoughts shifting, and Yama-jii has basically identified the Captain-level rebels. As for those who aren't Captain-level, they're irrelevant.
"In that case, let's prepare for the attack!"
Yama-jii's eyes flickered a few times, and he was already somewhat convinced. As for Central 46, Yama-jii could completely persuade them.
As for Kisuke Urahara's conviction... it's not impossible, but there must be solid evidence to expose the traitor. Otherwise, the rigid and evidence-based Central 46 will never admit that they made a wrong judgment.
There is a space called 'Valley of Screams', which is composed of souls Reishi lost in the Dangai, and is equivalent to a small world.
The Dangai "Dangai is not only World of the Living the passage from the mortal world to the Soul Society. The endless abyss within the Garganta Cavity is also called Dangai. Some lowly Ragged Hollows who do not know how to create a foothold will also get lost when passing through the Garganta and eventually become one of the constituent Reishi of the " Valley of Screams ".
It is unknown when, Valley of Screams Space, floating in mid-air above the central valley.
In the side room, a group of technicians were frantically typing on keyboards, and various data were displayed on the screen.
Inside the upright Container lies the body of a Black man with his eyes closed. If a familiar Soul Reaper were here, he might shout, "Captain Tōsen!"
At that moment, a man with a middle-part hairstyle, half green and half yellow, opened the door and walked in. The technician immediately bowed respectfully. "Lord Inaba Kage."
"Thank you for your hard work. The teleportation department is ready. Keep track of Lord Aizen's location at all times; they are at risk of being exposed."
"Yes..."
The man named Inaba Kage is the leader here. His full name is Kagerōza Inaba. He was recently recruited by Aizen and is in charge of various technical research.
... This guy was quite talented in the original timeline, and now that Aizen has his eye on him and discovered his secret, he's been directly recruited into his ranks...
As for discovering his secret, it all started with the 'Reigai'. The man named 'Yushima Oko' was the Seated Officer Technician. When Mayuri Kurotsuchi created Nemu using the technology of the two former Captains, Yushima Oko created the Reigai.
In other words, it involves creating Artificial Soul Candy Soul Reaper), placing these Artificial Soul Candy into Gigai, and allowing them to fight in place of the original Soul Reaper, or to withstand the fatal damage suffered by the Soul Reaper.
The Artificial Soul Candy Soul Reaper possesses its own thoughts and consciousness. Because the Central 46 fear that this technology could go out of control and threaten their rule, it has been declared a forbidden technology.
Yushima Oko refused to completely destroy his results and was subsequently hunted down. He hid his experimental results in the Dangai and used his own Reishi to create two people, 'Kagerōza Inaba' and 'Kujo Nozomi'.
The goal is to make them Soul Reaper), so that after they become proficient in using Zanpakuto), they can re-merge into themselves.
Then, Kagerōza Inaba, who inherited the will of Yushima Oko, came from Rukongai and became Soul Reaper; as for Kujo Nozomi, who had a rebellious Kujo Nozomi, she was unwilling to become Soul Reaper and unwilling to master the Zanpakuto, so she kept Rukongai...
During the timeline Yushima Oko committed the crime, Aizen was conducting experiments in Hueco Mundo and therefore paid no attention to Yushima Oko.
In this current timeline, Aizen is unable to go to Hueco Mundo and has been conducting research in secret within Soul Society; as a new instructor, he discovered the differences between Kagerōza Inaba.
After secretly comparing them, he discovered the secret that Kagerōza Inaba's Reishi were almost identical to Yushima Oko's... Ultimately, Aizen used various words and methods to make him submit to him...
After Shinji Hirako and the others appeared, Aizen realized something was wrong. Logically and emotionally, Kisuke Urahara's crime didn't quite make sense.
Although it was Tōsen who reported Urahara, allowing him to pin all the problems on him and use Kyōka Suigetsu to get the Central 46 on his side, he would still be noticed by the Captain-Commander to some extent, making many operations much less convenient.
Therefore, Aizen also had his men ready to provide backup at any time to prevent the Gotei 13 from secretly gathering evidence and launching a surprise attack.
After being attacked by Nangong Ling, Aizen almost constantly used his own power to release Kyōka Suigetsu. Within a certain range around him, anyone would slightly misjudge Aizen's location.
Hueco Mundo, in the palace of the Ninth Espada.
"Hehehe, finally back to where I was before! Although I didn't Gabriel, I have a backup, so it's not a big problem."
With a sinister laugh, Szayelaporro finally awoke, and he merged with his brother again, leaving Grimmjow without a Fracción.
After his excitement subsided, Szayelaporro asked Lojia, "Where is Lord Nangong? I need to report on the situation in the Shadow World; in my haste, the data was stored in my mind."
Lojia said in a low voice, "Lord Nangong has been in seclusion for seven days. Seven days ago, he and the Espada went and seized another Hōgyoku. They should be fusing two Hōgyoku together."
Szayelaporro, who was changing clothes, chuckled, "I see. So whether I have the information or not doesn't matter. How long have I been asleep?"
"It's been more than six months."
As they exchanged questions and answers, Szayelaporro finally remembered Mayuri Kurotsuchi's hateful laughter and secretly vowed to make that guy pay the price.
After getting dressed, he went straight to the Laboratory to study the toxins he had been researching.
Actually, he didn't need to come. Mayuri Kurotsuchi had already analyzed all the toxins he used on Szayelaporro, and the remaining toxins in his body were cleared away by Kuzō and the others using 'Healing Way'...
Seven days after the Hōgyoku was seized, Zero was still asleep on the Sky Cover. The two Hōgyoku, which had originally turned into liquid, had solidified again. The Container that contained the Hōgyoku had been corroded and disappeared. The solidified Hōgyoku had stuck to Zero's chest.
Zero's eyebrows twitched, but he couldn't open his eyes. The Hōgyoku had sensed his desire to wake up, but the Hōgyoku had its own plans...
After the Hōgyoku solidified again, it evolved into its complete form. Its self-awareness became more pronounced, and it sought to control Zero's body, becoming a completely intelligent 'being'!
It deliberately didn't remove the 'sleeping seal' for Zero, so that it could more easily seize control of this body.
From God's-eye view, one can see that, centered on the flesh and blood where Zero and the Hōgyoku are joined, a patch of irregular, deep blue lines spreads out, extending from his chest to his neck.
When the azure patterns touched the Blood Drink that Zero used as a necklace, the miniature Blood Drink suddenly writhed, and Reiatsu as thick as blood continuously overflowed, eventually transforming into a miniature phantom...
"W-what's going on? Have I separated from the boss? Am I now an independent individual?"
Yanis's incredulous voice echoed throughout the seclusion room. Zero had promised him years ago that he would be allowed to become independent as long as conditions allowed, and he had always longed for that.
"Haha, haha, ha! I'm finally back! Sorry, boss, I didn't want this either, it's all because of the Hōgyoku." After accepting reality, Yanis finally burst into wild laughter.
However, when facing Zero, who was still lying flat, his attitude remained humble... because Yanis and Zero were once one, and among all the Arrancar, Soul Reaper, Quincy, and others he had ever met, very few could touch Zero.
From that time until now, he has witnessed Zero's growth and peak, and he can no longer muster the idea that he could surpass Zero...
Ever since Yanis merged with Blood Drink, even though Zero obtained the Hōgyoku, which can grant wishes, Yanis has never dared to have his own ideas, because Blood Drink would report everything.
But now, perhaps the Hōgyoku sensed his underlying thoughts and directly separated him from Zero, turning him back into two consciousnesses, which made Yanis ecstatic.
The only downside is that his current strength is barely at the Gillian level; his previous power is basically still within Zero's body... Moreover, Yanis is now about the same height and size as an average adult teddy dog.
"By the way, the Hōgyoku allows me to separate, but it doesn't want him to wake up? No, it's more like the Hōgyoku doesn't want him to wake up. What a dangerous thing!"
If Yanis had hair, he would be covered in goosebumps at this moment; the Hōgyoku is terrifying, especially now that the two have merged, and some kind of consciousness is even awakening.
Yanis tried to wake Zero by calling out loudly, but failed. When he tried to touch Zero, the Hōgyoku used part of Zero's body to unleash a Reiatsu, attempting to forcibly erase Yanis.
Fortunately, the Hōgyoku only controlled part of Zero's body, and its mastery of Reiatsu was not high enough. It only scared Yanis away from the place, leaving him huddled in a corner of the room, unable to move.
No one knows what happened on the Sky Cover. Meanwhile, in Soul Society, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, with the help of the Kidō Corps, finally completed the initial analysis of the Garganta.
At least it can stabilize the Garganta near Soul Society. As for the Garganta on the other side, if it is disturbed, the deployment position of the Captain-level may be inaccurate.
However, this minor issue was insignificant. With a wave of his hand, all the Vice-Captains of the Yama-jii Gotei 13 assembled simultaneously... to attack Hueco Mundo!
