I'm Going to Hueco Mundo to Maintain Balance

Hueco Mundo, a world that exists in parallel with the World of the Living and Soul Society, is like a desolate desert planet, covered only with desert and rocky mountains, and this planet does not rotate.

Within Hueco Mundo, Grimmjow's forces were relentlessly pursued, even reaching the outskirts of Hueco Mundo. In the areas where the two forces passed, at least two million square kilometers of the Menos Grande Forest collapsed.

Looking down from above, the canyon formed by the collapse resembles a scar etched on a person's face, a shocking sight.

For the Hollows living in Hueco Mundo, this war was a disaster. Ragged Hollows who couldn't escape in time would be crushed by Reiatsu, while the powerful Menos Grande who tried to hide would be implicated and even conscripted to fight in the war...

"Grimmjow, Baraggan and his men are on their way again."

"Grimmjow, Fenduoluo and his team were completely wiped out by Wonderweiss."

"Grimmjow, Picaro has Gillian wiped out thousands of their Gilly."

"Grimmjow..."

"Enough! Stop reporting the hell out of the way, come with me for a final battle! I'll fight them to the death, you #♬✘@%..."

Each report from his subordinates would cause Grimmjow's eyes to become bloodshot, until his eyes turned red and he entered a state of rage, in which Grimmjow even wanted to kill the reporter.

Fortunately, there was a calm and collected Ulquiorra by his side who could easily stop him each time; as a result, Grimmjow's prestige gradually declined, and more Adjuchas began to believe in the relatively silent Ulquiorra.

"Alright, just bear with it a little longer! We've already sent Arafi to ask for help, he'll be here soon!"

Dordoni possessed wisdom uncommon in ordinary beings, understanding that what his side lacked was high-end combat power, Gillian had plenty of those things.

This is no joke. The deaths of a large number of Menos Grande have increased the density of Reishi in the Hueco Mundo air. Many Giant Hollows that did not want to evolve automatically turned into Gillians with their breath, and they were unconscious. It's tragic.

"Hmph, I didn't ask for help, you were the one who asked for help."

"Uh, it was me who called it, it's none of your business."

Grimmjow has had another episode, and Dordoni treats him like a child, constantly comforting him, as he has done for decades, even though the child isn't his own.

"Arafi is back...!"

Ulquiorra suddenly interrupted the two Hollows' chatter, his Pesquisa detecting the Wyvern Hollow that had gone to seek help.

Sure enough, in less than two minutes, Arafi passed through various giant Quartz Trees and arrived at the cave.

"What, that guy refused? Perfect, we don't need him here anyway."

Grimmjow felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that only Arafi had returned alone, but he still had to put on a brave face... Arafi reported what had happened after finding Zero, stating that Zero wouldn't be able to come for a while.

In Soul Society, Zero found the Kiganjō who was clearing out the Hollowfieds and handed him a prepared report, asking him to submit it to the Captain-Commander.

After Zero-One finished speaking, he directly opened the Garganta leading to Hueco Mundo through Kidō incantation, and then jumped into it right in front of him, leaving Kiganjō stunned.

What's the Captain doing? Is the Captain heading to Hueco Mundo? But what's with this report? Why do I have to deliver it to the Captain-Commander personally? Completely bewildered, Kiganjō returns to Seireitei to see the Captain-Commander...

According to an Adjuchas, the Hueco Mundo War was caused by infighting among several Vasto Lordes, and the situation could worsen further. His subordinates requested permission to go to Hueco Mundo to kill the Vasto Lordes and restore peace... This is the report submitted by Zero to Kiganjō.

If it were just that and there was no response, that would be fine, but he added: In fact, by the time the Captain-Commander saw this report, I had already gone to Hueco Mundo!

"Damn it, going to Hueco Mundo to kill Vasto Lorde and create balance? Has he forgotten his duty as Captain? What kind of behavior is this? And you, as his lieutenant, just watched him jump into the Garganta without stopping him?"

In the First Division office, after reading the report, Yama-jii really lost his temper and gave the bowing and scraping Kiganjō a good scolding.

Kiganjō was innocent. What did it have to do with me? Could I possibly stop him from going to Hueco Mundo...? But these questions remained buried in Kiganjō's heart. To argue back now would be tantamount to courting death.

"Go down!"

Simply cursing gets boring. After calming down, Yama-jii considered whether to send someone to Hueco Mundo to bring Zero back. After much deliberation, he decided not to send anyone.

There are too many troubles now. Soul Society needs guards to clear out the large influx of Hollows, and there are also thieves hiding in the World of the Living to assassinate Captains.

If a few more Captains are sent to Hueco Mundo and accidentally get caught, the manpower shortage will be even greater. After much thought, it seems the only option left is to let Nangong Ling act recklessly...

Yama-jii wasn't worried about Zero, after all, he had heard about Zero Hueco Mundo Bankai training. He was just worried that Zero's absence would leave the Seireitei lacking in combat power and unable to cope with certain situations.

Zero is derelict in his duty. If nothing goes wrong in Seireitei, all will be well, but if something does, he'll be held accountable by the Central 46...

Over here, Zero has already entered the Garganta alone and is running around. The concentration of Reishi inside is now frighteningly high. No wonder even the clumsy Gillian can use Reishi to create footholds and travel to the World of the Living and the Soul Society.

Breaking through space, it was still on the desert surface, still a desolate world, with only the sound of wind and sand swirling around.

"The Creator is disgusting! Knowing full well that these incomplete souls need love, He still created this godforsaken world for them. At least give them a sun and some plants and forests!"

Zero couldn't help but complain. He had felt something was wrong from the beginning. It seemed that all the good things useful to souls in the three worlds were in the Seireitei, and there was nothing anywhere else.

With his eyes closed and mind at peace, Zero sensed the Reiatsu within the Kidō that remained inside the Wyvern Arafi —it was the Hollow Reiatsu emanating from Zero himself.

Yanis has become a consciousness entity and usually doesn't need to come out. He only needs to observe the world from within Zero's mind, or come out to control the created entity when Zero uses the Homologous Reconstruction.

After traveling about 100 kilometers in that direction, Zero was terrified by the massive rift valley before him; even the boundless desert could not fill the collapsed area.

"The extent of the damage to this terrain is truly terrifying. No wonder even the Adjuchas fled to the World of the Living. If they were caught up in this war, they would probably turn to ashes too!"

Zero was also amazed. He was floating hundreds of meters in the air, but he still couldn't see the other side of the rift valley, let alone its length.

Regaining his composure, he quickly sped towards the direction from which the Reiatsu was emanating, a result reportedly caused by the recent shift of the battlefield from the surface to underground...

In the dark forests of Hueco Mundo, Grimmjow's forces have dwindled to around fifty Adjuchas, while Baraggan's power is formidable, maintaining a force of over three hundred Adjuchas even now.

In terms of numbers, the Blood Panther Group was crushed. In terms of top-tier combat power, the Las Noches side had Baraggan, Szayelaporro, and Wonderweiss, as well as the strange Vasto Lorde like Picaro, who were regarded as a whole.

Compared to the Blood Panther Group, who only consisted of Grimmjow and Ulquiorra, Las Noches was a complete victory. The two sides fought countless times, with Las Noches always emerging victorious.

Several times, Grimmjow was seriously wounded and rescued by his subordinates from a distance using Negación, while Ulquiorra, the most capable killer in the Blood Panther Group, also retreated.

The same thing happened again. Shortly after Arafi returned, several Picaro discovered their hiding place once more, and even though Grimmjow managed to take them down, it was too late...

"Grimmjow, is all you can do is run away like a stray dog?"

"Hahaha, you call yourself Vasto Lorde? You've become a laughingstock in Hueco Mundo!"

"You dare to challenge Emperor Baraggan Great? Forgive my limited Imagination, but I cannot fathom how you could possibly win."

Several Adjuchas of similar strength to Dordoni were mocking Grimmjow, a tactic they often used to provoke him into attacking first, so that their Vasto Lorde Grimmjow surround and severely damage him.

At the start of the war, they used this tactic to easily win a battle in which Grimmjow was seriously wounded at the beginning, and it was only thanks to Ulquiorra's all-out effort that the battle was not completely defeated.

Over the past few decades, Ulquiorra has completely achieved autonomy over the Arrancar, dividing his power into his main body and his Zanpakuto. His main abilities after liberation are High-Speed Regeneration and speed, which make his basic combat strength extremely high.

Even without unleashing his Zanpakuto, he has the strength to defeat Vasto Lorde, such as Wonderweiss and Grimmjow; they are no match for Ulquiorra in a one-on-one fight.

Only individuals like Baraggan and Szayelaporro, who possess special abilities or are inherently strong, can pose a significant threat to Ulquiorra.

"Those bastards, I'm definitely going to find a chance to kill them."

"Well, thankfully we didn't rush in right then and there."

Am I that stupid? How many times can I make the same mistake?

"I see, so this behavior is called foolish...?"

While Grimmjow was hurling insults, he also taught Ulquiorra new vocabulary, and the two unexpectedly started talking a lot.

However, the opposing team clearly wouldn't let them chat idly for long. Picaro had been killed, and several of his members were already furious. They immediately unleashed their signature Cero, forcing the weak Picaro to resort to releasing Bala to make up the numbers.

"Retreat and engage the enemy through solo, mobile hunting tactics."

The orders are given by Ulquiorra, who will take command during wartime to maximize the group's lethality with minimal losses. When he is unavailable to command, Dordoni will take his place.

This tactic was purely a delaying tactic, mainly because Ulquiorra was very interested in his reinforcement, having never heard of Soul Reaper merging with a Hollow...

"Here we go again, ugh, this boring tactic of stalling for time, that brat Ulquiorra."

Baraggan was very unhappy. He had also fought Ulquiorra before, and the opponent was simply difficult to deal with.

"I think it's great; we can collect more data on that guy. So far, we've only seen him unleash his Zanpakuto once, and his Reiatsu was incredibly high! Hehehe..."

Szayelaporro, standing to the side, didn't care. He had been forcibly dragged into this war by Baraggan, and once he became interested in the self- Arrancar Ulquiorra, he couldn't stop.

Szayelaporro's mask didn't fall off on its own; rather, he removed it without injury a long time ago through research. Currently, his Reiatsu level has actually reached the requirement for autonomously Arrancar, but unfortunately, he no longer has the mask.
