Chapter 351

"No, it's nothing." Kisuke Urahara quickly changed his tune, "It's just a notification, just a notification in the manner of a Shinigami. It's not that I lack public morality."

"If it's just a notification, a phone call would suffice," Li Pu said to Kisuke Urahara. "It's being made like a death threat."

"If I don't beat you up, who will I beat up?"

Li Pu's words resonated deeply with the members of the Death Squad. In modern society, there are so many ways to notify others, yet he chose such a terrifying method. It's hard not to want to kill him.

"It looks like everyone's here."

At that moment, a short girl wielding a huge scythe appeared from behind Li Pu. She looked at the group with an innocent expression and said, "So that means we can set off tonight, right? Goddess Sister and Mr. Kevin?"

"It's you?" This surprised Ichigo a bit. He pointed at the girl who had appeared behind Li Pu and said, "How come you..."

"Her name is Seele, Seele Vollerei." Kevin appeared behind Seele Seele explained, "She will be with us tonight."

"A child?" Uryu Ishida pushed up his glasses and said, "Although I don't want to say anything, wouldn't it be a burden to bring her along?"

She looks like a middle school student, right? Bringing her along is pointless; this isn't a vacation. Even if the Goddess is incredibly powerful, having her along would be a burden.

"Seele is not a burden at all." Hearing Uryu Ishida say this, Seele was clearly a little unhappy and said, "Seele is very powerful and definitely not a burden."

Seele was very angry; she even seemed to want to take off the huge scythe she was carrying and show Uryu Ishida her fighting prowess.

"Hmm~" Seeing that the situation seemed to be getting out of control, Kisuke Urahara quickly coughed to calm things down and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's talk about the issue of going to Soul Society."

At this point, discussing this issue is the best course of action.

Although he was beaten up and looked quite disheveled, at least he was still the master of this place now. His words drew everyone's attention to him, and Kisuke Urahara, satisfied with his outcome, led the group to his secret base.

That's the place where Ichigo was trained.

"Snap!" Kisuke Urahara snapped his fingers, and the next second a square frame appeared there, followed by something in the middle that looked like a black hole.

'This thing reminds me of a Nether portal made of obsidian in Minecraft.'

Looking at that thing Li Pu thought to himself with endless complaints.

Don't say this thing looks exactly like the legendary Nether Gate. Except for not being made of obsidian, it's practically identical, if not exactly the same.

"Come, this is the gate to Soul Society." Kisuke Urahara said, his voice becoming more serious, "Transcendental Gate."

"Listen carefully now, everyone. The method to enter Soul Society..."

Kisuke Urahara wanted everyone to listen attentively to his explanation, but... there were always some people who weren't so willing to listen to him. For example, the group led by the Goddess was one of them.

Looking at the group of people who seemed to be discussing something Kisuke Urahara could only sigh inwardly.

Hopefully, they can help Ichigo.

Meanwhile, Li Pu, Seele, and Kevin gathered in front of the laboratory that Li Pu had set up here.

"Don't we need to bring some equipment with us?" Seele asked. "Are we just going to leave all this stuff here? What if Soul Society doesn't have the equipment we need? That would be a real problem."

"As for Soul Society..." Li Pu looked at the equipment in front of him and thought for a moment before saying, "We don't need to bring anything."

"The 12th Division is the Technology Development Bureau," Li Pu said. "They should have what we need over there, so we don't need to bring any equipment. If it really doesn't work, we can wait until the mission is over and then come back here to conduct research."

Li Pu had planned from the beginning to use the equipment of the 12th Division for his research, which would save him a lot of trouble.

Of course, if the research fails, he can just bring it back; either way Li Pu won't lose out. If it succeeds, he can research it there and start the time travel; if it fails, he can come back and research it. Either way, Li Pu can achieve the effect of winning twice.

"If Death doesn't cooperate, we'll just charge in," Li Pu instructed. "You and Kevin will keep watch for a while. If Death cooperates, we'll just go in through the normal route."

"And what's your wish?" Kevin suddenly asked.

"It's enough to just state our position," Li Pu said nonchalantly. "This wish is just an excuse for us to break free from the constraints of the God Race and act independently. Even if the God of Death investigates it, it's just a personal matter and a contractual act, and it doesn't rise to the level of two races."

"So we're not going to help that kid save people?" Kevin asked, looking at Ichigo, who had already transformed into a Shinigami. "Is that alright?"

"Why not?" Li Pu retorted. "Your wish was for me to help Ichigo rescue Lucia, not for me to rescue her myself. So I just went in and did my research. As long as we can attract enough Shinigami to come and hunt us down, doesn't that fulfill that condition?"

"Ah... this..." Kevin felt that what was said seemed to make some sense.

He had no way to refute it.

"Sometimes we shouldn't be so rigid," Li Pu said cheerfully. "We can only achieve a win-win situation by finding loopholes in the rules. He wins once, we win once, it's a win-win situation."

"Isn't this great?"

Well... it is a bit of a problem. MEI is really good at exploiting loopholes in the rules these days.

"It's open over there, let's go!" Li Pu noticed that the gate had opened and Ichigo and the others had already entered it one by one. He realized they couldn't stay there any longer.

Just as Ichigo and the others went inside Li Pu, along with Seele and Kevin, jumped into the gate.

"This place..." Seele frowned and complained as soon as she entered, "It's completely different from the Sea of Quantum."

The Sea of Quantum —since it can be called a 'sea,' it must at least appear to be a 'sea' visually. It's a place that contains countless World Bubble, and because of the properties of quantum mechanics, it appears to be both disordered and ordered. But this boundary is more like a place of disorder.

Aside from the solid feeling of what you're stepping on, everything else feels more like a jumbled mess of dust and smoke.

"Hey! Don't be silly over there, the Ju Liu are getting closer!" A black cat at the front said in a very manly voice, "Time is limited, we can't stay here for too long."

"Let's go! This is not a place to stay for long." Li Pu didn't say anything more.

As Goddess, she felt she should have a way to stop the Juliu from getting closer, but Li Pu didn't want to waste his precious power on that.

"Don't run too fast!"

The group sprang into action, quickly overtaking Ichigo and the others. Li Pu then reminded them, "Wait a minute, that Kōtotsu should be here soon."

"They're running so slowly," Seele said, looking at the group ahead. "At this speed, it feels like it's going to be pretty risky for them to reach that glowing exit."

Indeed, Ichigo and the others were not running very fast. Now the swirling currents had begun to converge, and Li Pu and the others, who were running at the very back, could feel that the strange dust seemed to have grown countless tentacles, trying to entangle them.

But if these people run too fast, then there won't be anything left for Li Pu to do, right?

"It's here!" At this moment, Li Pu felt the ground begin to tremble slightly, and a beam of light seemed to appear behind him. Accompanying this were 'crunch~' 'crunch~' sounds.

It's Kōtotsu! That thing that looks like a steam locomotive, there can't be another one like it.

Li Pu glanced at Kevin and Seele, and the two of them immediately understood and gave Li Pu a knowing look.

Okay! Now!

Li Pu suddenly turned around and instantly unleashed the Holy Sword! Excalibur!

A golden light illuminated the entire broken boundary, and under this light, the approaching Ju Tu seemed to retreat to both sides in fear. The next moment, a golden torrent crashed into Kōtotsu 'Kōtotsu body, tearing it to shreds.

Just as the golden light had not yet dissipated, Seele and Kevin suddenly turned around and took out the bottles and jars they had prepared beforehand, quickly collecting the remaining fragments of the Kōtotsu.

They had to be fast; they needed to collect as many fragments of the Kōtotsu as possible before the final explosion.

How long does it take from the golden light dispersing the Kōtotsu to the explosion? It might take a few seconds, or it might take less than a second in the eyes of the Grim Reaper group.

What they could feel was a golden light shining behind them, followed by a gust of wind.

I could only be swept away by the gale and fly towards that bright place.

When he came to his senses, he was already in Soul Society.

What happened next...?

They know nothing.

Chapter 417 The Poor Fools of Soul Society

"Is this the Soul Society?"

Li Pu floated in the sky, looking down at the entire Soul Society, and said calmly, "Ah~ it feels like I've traveled from modern society to ancient society. It really does feel like nothing has changed in a thousand years."

Then look at Ichigo and the others, who are a bit far away and look rather disheveled.

Li Pu couldn't help but shake his head.

Even Seele didn't stumble and fall like that. This group's debut in Soul Society was truly indescribable.

"Let's go." Li Pu landed on the ground and gestured to Kevin and Seele, who were standing on the roof. "We don't need to waste time here."

What's next in the plot? It seems like they're going to find someone to play a game with a human cannon.

But Li Pu had no intention of continuing to play along with these people. The plot had already pretty much Honkai by the time she arrived anyway. Why not just storm in himself?

"Hello!"

Just as Li Pu was walking towards the Seireitei, a black cat blocked his way, saying to Li Pu, Seele, Kevin, and the other two, "Are you just going to walk over like this?"

"Otherwise what?" Li Pu retorted, "Are we just going to stand here like idiots?"

"Even Goddess shouldn't underestimate the Soul Society." The black cat seemed a little displeased as it said, "Those captains in the Soul Society aren't much weaker than you."

'This guy's name seems to be Yoruichi...' Li Pu thought that if he remembered correctly, this cat seemed to be Yoruichi the Flash.

As a former Shinigami and one of the four noble families, although she seems to have left Soul Society, her own disdain for Soul Society has touched a nerve.

"I hope they can be as powerful as you say."

So far, Li Pu hasn't seen anyone powerful enough to stand in her way, and she doesn't want to underestimate the power of the Soul Society.

But right now, there isn't enough power in front of her.

Continuing straight ahead along this path, the Seireitei lies not far away. The Soul Society, in every sense, is a place with an exceptionally clear hierarchy.

Although Seireitei and Rukongai are in the same place, they are clearly separated, and the boundary between them is obvious without much attention. When Li Pu arrived at Seireitei, a pile of wooden planks suddenly fell from the sky, surrounding the entire Seireitei.

"It's been so long..."

A burly man suddenly appeared, and before he could finish speaking, he collapsed to the ground. His clothes ripped open without warning, revealing countless wounds all over his body, and blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the entire earth red.

"W-What happened?" Uryu Ishida looked at everything in surprise.

What on earth happened? The board fell, a person appeared and then collapsed, and the Goddess and the people around her seemed to have done nothing at all.

The burly man who had suddenly appeared collapsed straight down, covered in wounds.

"That little girl," Yoruichi said with mixed feelings, "She made her move."

That seemingly unremarkable young girl defeated Jidanbō in a mere instant. Jidanbō wasn't a powerful being in Soul Society; he wasn't even a Shinigami.

However, as the gatekeeper, his strength was not weak either, and he was instantly defeated by that little girl.

It seems I need to recalculate the fighting strength of that Goddess and her subordinates.

"Kevin," Li Pu said calmly, standing in the doorway with his arms crossed, "Open the door."

Seele's strength was basically within Li Pu's expectations; it seems Seele's initial strength was S-rank. As an S-rank Valkyrie, this level of strength is more than enough.

A security guard is nothing to worry about.

"Understood!" Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment, wielding twin pistols and a blazing longsword, unleashed a powerful slash. This seemingly simple and unadorned move melted the gate in a single strike.

Yes, it was smelting; it didn't even have time to burn before turning into ashes, leaving only the ground glowing red from the heat.

If it weren't for the walls on both sides, you really wouldn't be able to tell that there was a door inside.

"This feeling..." Orihime stared at all in disbelief and said, "We've come here for nothing; we can't help at all."

What if your teammates are too good? What if you feel like you're just there to fill a gap?

I'm waiting online, extremely anxious.

"This is nothing," said Yoruichi. "The battle has only just begun."

The strength of the Jidanbō is not great, and the city walls are not an absolute defense. Breaking through these two layers is nothing; the real battle will begin after breaking through them.

"That guy," Yoruichi said, "Is tough to deal with."

Who? A silver-haired man stood about ten steps in front of Li Pu and the others, smiling.

Gin Ichimaru.

Li Pu, the captain of the third division, had a strong impression of Gin Ichimaru. After all, this guy was a popular but also quite controversial character.

"Look at him, and the tattoos on his cheeks and forehead." Gin Ichimaru looked at Li Pu with curiosity and said, "You must be one of the legendary God Race, right?"

"I'd only ever heard of God Race before," Gin Ichimaru said with even more curiosity. "This is the first time I've ever seen a real God Race."

"Oh~ then if you've seen enough, could you please move aside?" Li Pu stretched his limbs and said, "Actually, I'd consider myself a pacifist."

This is how it is before the fighting starts.

"No, that's impossible." Gin Ichimaru said with a smile, "After all, I am the captain of the third division of the Gotei 13, and protecting the Seireitei is my duty. But you, as Goddess, trespassing into the Soul Society is already not a good thing, and you even dare to force your way into the Seireitei. Aren't you afraid of causing some conflict?"

"A contradiction?" Li Pu said with a forced smile, "I don't know if you know a truth about this world."
