Chapter 80
"Captain Aizen, no!"
Momo Hinamori quickly shouted and tried to stop him, but Toshiro Hitsugaya stopped her with his hand.
Aizen glanced back at Momo Hinamori, gave her his usual gentle smile, and then looked at Li Yue again.
"I will be loyal to you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the air suddenly split open, and a Portal appeared behind Li Yue.
"Take him down!"
Captain Commander Yamamoto gave the order, and the Captain level Bleach immediately pounced on Li Yue.
But when they touched Li Yue, they simply passed right through Li Yue body.
"This is?"
Captain Commander Yamamoto's expression also turned serious.
It's Kyōka Suigetsu, I made Aizen activate Kyōka Suigetsu!
While Aizen was putting on a dramatic performance, Li Yue returned the Kyōka Suigetsu to Aizen via a red envelope. Kyōka Suigetsu Aizen, naturally took over the task of controlling the situation. Li Yue's dream powers were not yet effective enough to completely affect Old Man Yamamoto, and he didn't want to mess things up. Messing up wasn't the problem; the problem was that messing up would mean failing to show off.
"It's no use. Once this door opens, you and we will no longer be in the same dimension. Your attacks will never be able to reach me."
Li Yue stared coldly at the captains who surrounded her.
"This is the declaration of our Quincy's Wandenreich to you!"
"You Bleach, born burdened with sin, we, the Quincy's Wandenreich, will rise again under Yhwach's leadership and wipe you out, you born evil Bleach!"
"At that time, under His Yhwach's leadership, we will create a brand new world! A new world without the rule of you corrupt nobles burdened with sin!!"
After saying that, Li Yue turned and walked into the Portal, and Aizen followed Li Yue into the Portal.
"Captain Aizen, don't go over there!"
Despite Aizen's obstruction, the loyal Aizen fan Momo Hinamori bravely shouted at Toshiro Hitsugaya.
Aizen stopped in Portal and turned to look at Momo Hinamori.
"Forgive me, Hinagiku, this is the last time."
After saying that, Aizen walked into the Portal, Portal closed and disappeared.
135. The supreme Crown Prince Li Yue arrived at his loyal Las Noches.
Captain Aizen Sousuke the Fifth Division Captain, under the inducement of Quincy Li Yue, joined the Quincy and became a traitor to Soul Society. Wandenreich Quincy, the Bleach's greatest enemy a thousand years ago, is about to make a comeback!
Aizen's betrayal surprised many Bleach, especially Kisuke Urahara and his group. Yoruichi Shihoin and Kisuke Urahara had always thought that Aizen was responsible for their predicament and that Aizen's Hollowfication Experiment had killed many Bleach. However, they never expected that it was this guy named Li Yue who was secretly guiding Aizen.
Aizen, whom they regarded as the mastermind behind the scenes, turned out to be just a clown being led by the nose. His real purpose was to resurrect the woman he loved. They had been plotting in the Human World for over a hundred years, but their schemes had all come to naught. This plot twist is too outrageous. Where did this pure love god of war come from?
As for Ichigo Kurosaki group, they only felt pure sympathy for Aizen. After all, they had no direct conflict with Aizen. Aizen neither killed any of their people nor did anything to them. Although they were indeed used by Aizen to a small extent, it was Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihoin who were more despicable for using them.
In particular, Kisuke Urahara implanted the Hōgyoku inside Rukia's body without her knowledge. If it weren't for Kisuke Urahara, Rukia's capture and their prison break would never have happened.
As for the other Bleach, they were more concerned about the Quincy, their enemy!
The Bleach all wore solemn expressions at the thought of Yhwach's power to alter the past and future. The younger generation of Bleach were not very clear about the war a thousand years ago, and many of them knew nothing about it, such as the invincible Tōshirō Hitsugaya. However, this did not prevent them from being wary of the Wandenreich that was directly hiding in the shadow of the Seireitei.
Being watched for a thousand years, having almost no secrets in the eyes of others—who could stand that?
Among the Bleach captains, only Gin Ichimaru had a subtle expression. He knew that the information about the Wandenreich was leaked by Li Yue, a junior from the future. To be honest, if he didn't know that Aizen didn't have any so-called beloved person, for a moment, he might have even believed what Li Yue said, such as that Li Yue was the mastermind behind it all.
But...
It seems they forgot to take me with them when they left?
The members of the Seireitei had different thoughts, while Li Yue and Aizen had already arrived in Hueco Mundo.
Although it appeared to be Portal, it was actually Garganta opened by Aizen leading to Hueco Mundo. Under the cover of Kyōka Suigetsu, Li Yue and Aizen easily escaped from the encirclement of many captains and headed to Hueco Mundo.
"This place is really desolate, with eternal night and an eternal gray-white desert."
Li Yue grabbed a handful of fine white sand from the ground; this was all the most basic Reishi desert.
"It's really impressive that Xu can live in this place."
"Because most of the void are nothingness, they don't have much emotion, which is why they are able to live here forever."
Aizen explained very kindly, while extending his left hand towards Li Yue.
"Li Yue-kun, can you give me the Hōgyoku now?"
"Certainly!"
Li Yue tossed the Hōgyoku, which had been separated from Rukia's body, directly to Aizen, caught it precisely, and then held it up to his eyes.
"Is this the Hōgyoku created by Kisuke Urahara? I must say, Kisuke Urahara is indeed a genius."
Aizen himself admitted that Kisuke Urahara was the only person smarter than him. Although Urahara Kisuke's Reiatsu was not at Aizen's abnormal level, his ability to develop it was truly strong. The Wandenreich also marked Kisuke Urahara as one of the five Kisuke Urahara powers. Aizen's representative was Reiatsu, while Kisuke Urahara's representative was "methods," because you never know what kind of methods he might be hiding as a backup plan to deal with you.
Even Aizen, in the original story, was sealed by Kisuke Urahara's Kido after he voluntarily gave up his evolution. This Kido was something Kisuke Urahara had injected into Aizen 'Aizen body during their previous battle, without Aizen noticing at all.
"Godfather, are you going to perform the fusion here?"
"When the power of the Hōgyoku is fused, it will cause quite a commotion, so it's not suitable to do it here. After all, even I don't like being disturbed."
Aizen put away the Hōgyoku and looked in one direction.
"Let's go, Li Yue-kun. You must be very interested in the Las Noches."
"Oh? So it's the Las Noches you built on the site of that old skeleton's Hueco Mundo Palace?"
"Yes, shall we go take a look?"
"Certainly!"
Li Yue was naturally interested in Las Noches, especially since Las Noches Espada were also there.
Among the Espada, Li Yue is quite interested in many, especially a few typical characters. There's Ulquiorra, number four, who takes coolness and aloofness to the extreme; Stark, number one, who splits his soul into a separate entity to accompany himself because of loneliness, and is also an Arrancar who is alone; and then there's the original number three, Nelly, who has now lost her memory.
As for the other Espada, Li Yue didn't find them very interesting. They were either not very capable, or rather abnormal, or had bad tempers.
Oh right, speaking of bad temper, we have to mention the Espada, Grimmjow. Grimmjow has a really bad temper, and he's always been very defiant towards Aizen. Unfortunately, Grimmjow's abilities aren't as great as he thinks. He can only be ranked sixth, and he doesn't have any special skills or tricks. He can be considered the pinnacle of a normal Hollow's evolution, no more than that.
With Aizen leading the way, the two traveled Flash Step using Shunpo and arrived outside Las Noches. At this time, Las Noches had been transformed into a large castle-like building because Aizen had taken over and a canopy had been built over it.
When the two arrived at the grand entrance of Las Noches, there was already a figure waiting for them.
"Welcome back, Lord Aizen."
Upon seeing Aizen appear, the figure immediately knelt on one knee to express his respect to Aizen.
"Ah, thank you for coming to greet me, Ulquiorra."
This person is the Fourth Espada, Ulquiorra Cifer. Like Stark, he is a ruthless Arrancar autonomous abilities, representing the void among the Espada.
"Oh, this must be Ulquiorra. Nice to meet you. Please take care of me."
Li Yue smiled and raised her hand to greet him, Ulquiorra gave Li Yue a cold look before turning to Aizen.
"Lord Aizen?"
"I am Li Yue, the son of your Lord Aizen, and the future Las Noches! Do you understand?"
Li Yue introduced himself directly, but Ulquiorra ignored him and continued to wait for Aizen's reply.
Aizen couldn't help but twitch his lips as he looked at Li Yue, who had his hands on his hips. Not long ago, he had to pledge allegiance to Li Yue, and now he was the crown prince, and even his adopted son had become his biological son. His status had jumped really fast.
Although he was speechless at Li Yue's incredible talent for changing his expression, Aizen still helped to introduce Li Yue.
"Li Yue-kun is my friend and our partner in the future. You can just think of him as someone who is second only to me in this Las Noches."
"Yes, Lord Aizen."
Ulquiorra nodded to Aizen, then looked at Li Yue with his usual cold expression.
"Welcome, Lord Li Yue."
136. A meeting request from Blondie
Li Yue didn't stay in Las Noches for very long. He came to Las Noches with Aizen this time just to show his face in front of everyone in Las Noches so that it would be easier to talk when he came again in the future. At least he wouldn't fight because he didn't know them, right?
After attending a meeting with the Menos Grande of Las Noches and their lieutenants alongside Aizen, and chatting with and getting to know a few Espada who interested him, Li Yue returned to Teyvat continent. Aizen was about to begin his Hōgyoku fusion, which would eventually lead to his complete Arrancar transformation, and Li Yue wouldn't find it interesting to be alone there.
As for what kind of blow the Wandenreich will suffer because of Li Yue's exposure, that is none of Li Yue's business. After all, in the current view of the Seireitei, the Wandenreich has already obtained the two Hōgyoku from Aizen and Kisuke Urahara, Yhwach is about to awaken and return to his full power.
Old Man Yamamoto would absolutely not allow such a thing, so the Seireitei is currently focusing all its efforts on how to deal with the Wandenreich. With Yhwach still unconscious and without having regained his power, the Gotei 13's invasion of the Wandenreich will definitely make them suffer greatly.
But that has nothing to do with Li Yue anymore, because Li Yue has returned to Liyue Harbor, which he is loyal to!
"Someone wants to see me?"
Upon arriving in Liyue Harbor, Li Yue received a report from the Millelith. Since Li Yue had publicly stated that he would not be involved in affairs when he ascended the throne, he would generally not receive any reports. However, he was somewhat surprised to receive a report as soon as he returned today.
"Didn't I say that the matter of Liyue Harbor could be handled entirely by Grand Governor Zhongli?"
Zhongli is a great helper. To prevent Venti and Nahida from messing things up, he basically handles all the things that are uploaded to the Three Great Generals. He's very responsible.
Faced with Li Yue's questioning, Millelith was also somewhat embarrassed. The newly appointed Rock King's system of Three Great Generals and Seven Arbiter-Generals had greatly increased the workload of the Qixing. However, the common people all said that the system was very good. Therefore, Millelith, as one of the common people, also had a high degree of goodwill towards Li Yue. As a result, after the Rock King disappeared for a few days, he came to his door as soon as he reappeared.
Come to think of it, he was the first member of the Millelith to speak to the new Rock King.
"This... Lord Geo Archon, it was Ningguang's request. She said that a Traveler from Otherworld wants to meet with you, and that the Traveler said he wants to meet with you, Lord Rock King, not Grand Governor Zhongli."
"So, the other party wants to see God?"
That's right.
Millelith nodded.
Li Yue understood who Millelith was talking about. It was Blondie and the emergency food. Oh, she hadn't met her brother yet, and she hadn't heard him tell her about their eventual reunion. So she was still preoccupied with finding her brother.
Because of her own actions, Zhongli did not meet Ying, so there was no interaction between them. Ying was not involved in Zhongli's faked death and therefore did not know Zhongli's true identity. If she wanted to see a god, she could only see Li Yue, the newly appointed Geo God.
What Li Yue found interesting was that it was Ningguang who helped with the introduction. Given Ningguang's business-like manner, Ying must have done a lot for her to get this opportunity.
But why should I give Ningguang face?
Ningguang, you're quite bold. You can just take the opportunity to meet a god and use it to trade with others. Don't you think too highly of yourself?
"Go tell Ningguang, she's not seeing him!"
Li Yue looked up at the Jade Chamber high above Liyue Harbor, gave her answer, and then turned and left, leaving the Millelith who came to report behind in a daze.
Teyvat is a magical place, as you can tell from how the Blondie is treated in various countries. He helped resolve the Storm Dragon incident in Mondstadt, but all he got was Honorary Knight. Even if he became Honorary Knight, he didn't get any benefits in Mondstadt. Ordinary people in Mondstadt didn't take Blondie seriously at all.
In Liyue, the Blondie helped get rid of Osial, and Keqing publicly admitted that Qixing owed her a favor, but the people of Liyue didn't take the Blondie seriously either.
Whether it's Inazuma or Sumeru, it's the same. In Teyvat, the Blondie guy is just a super tool. He's wanted everywhere he goes and is used as a tool everywhere he goes. Especially in Inazuma, in Mondstadt and Liyue, it's understandable because the gods in those two places are hiding their identities. But in Inazuma, I was openly strolling and chatting with the Raiden Shogun, and yet a samurai from the Kamisato clan dared to speak to me in a sarcastic tone. It was just outrageous.
Before transmigrating, Li Yue had initially played with Luna and had long admired her. Putting aside everything else, among the female characters in Teyvat, Luna truly belonged to the type that, although not stunning at first glance, was very pleasing to the eye in the long run; it was only her clothes that dragged her down.
After traveling to Teyvat, Li Yue met Ying in Mondstadt. Although they didn't interact much because Li Yue was always traveling around, they were still friends. His friend wanted to see him, but he had to go through Ningguang? Are you kidding me!
As the current Rock King, Li Yue declared that he must change the bad habits of these Teyvat. He wanted to make these Teyvat bastards understand what proper respect meant!
After instructing Millelith to return and report to Ningguang, Li Yue went directly back to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
Although Li Yue has become the new Geo Archon and lives in Liyue Harbor, he did not have Qixing build his palace. Instead, he continued to live in the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. What is this called? This is called not forgetting one's original intention!
The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is quite impressive now. Two of the Seven Golden Peng Immortal Xiao and Cloud Retainer, live here. Three Great Generals of Liyue, General Zhongli and General Nahida, also live here. In particular, General Zhongli is the Grand Governor of Liyue. As for General Venti, he has no fixed abode, but you can find him in various taverns.
Most importantly, the new King of Rocks also lives in the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor!
Even though Li Yue, the new Rock King, doesn't usually show up, he does indeed live in the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. So many big shots living in the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor has led to what? It has made the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, a place that used to be rarely visited, very lively. Someone even placed a huge incense burner at the entrance of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, and people come to burn incense every day.
Hu Tao felt as if she was being worshipped every time she went out. She was always the one who buried people, offered incense, and sent them off, but now she was being worshipped by others every day. She was in this line of work, so she didn't mind such things, but it still felt very strange.
After returning to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Li Yue immediately went to the backyard, where Zhongli often stayed to drink tea.
"Zhongli!"
"Oh? Li Yue, you're back."
Zhongli, who was drinking tea, saw Li Yue and immediately greeted her with a smile.
"Li Yue, you've returned from Otherworld?"
Nahida was also there.
When the two saw Li Yue return, they immediately understood that Li Yue had had enough fun in the Otherworld and had come back.
"Ah, I just got back. This Otherworld was a bit dangerous. There was a really scary old man there. He was so strong that he could melt Teyvat by himself. It was a lot of trouble for me to get back."
As Li Yue spoke, she plopped down on the stone bench.
