There was a loud bang, and a blue light wave as thick as a bucket came from a distance, so blue that it was dazzling.
It streaked across the night sky, dragging a long tail flame, and headed straight for Kuroyashiki.
Kuroyashiki stood there without looking back. With a turn of his wrist, he lifted up the fallen sword at an angle. The blade cut through the air and hit the blue light wave.
The light wave was chopped away, shot to the side, and landed on the sand in the distance.
Boom!!!
A huge sand pit exploded, and sand particles flew hundreds of meters high.
Kuroyashiki turned his head to look at the figure walking slowly, grinning.
"This trip Hueco Mundo is really the right one!"
The people walking over exuded violent Reiatsu, the sand under their feet was shaking, and the air was buzzing.
The level of Reiatsu is simply not comparable to that of the mantis under his feet. The two of them are not on the same level at all.
The person who came had curly black hair, which was scattered around the ears and glowed dimly in the moonlight.
He was wearing a white uniform and had a sad stubble on his chin. The stubble was very short and dense, forming a light blue color on his chin. He had a pair of azure eyes that shone in the moonlight.
He glanced at Nnoitra lying on the ground, looking at the figure who was breathing in and out of breath, with his limbs bitten off, and blood bleeding all over the floor.
Then he reached out and scratched the back of his head, looked at Kuroyashiki, and spoke lazily.
"After all, the guy on the ground is considered a companion. Can you please let him go for my sake?"
Kuroyashiki didn't pay any attention to Nnoitra on the ground. He walked a few steps forward and came to the man. The two were less than three meters apart and said with a smile.
"Of course there's no problem."
There was a strong fighting spirit in his eyes as he looked at the man in front of him. Even in Shikai's state, his Reiatsu couldn't compare to him.
This man is very strong, very strong, and he should be able to fight with abandon this time.
Just then.
A hoarse voice came from behind him.
"Hey!" Nnoitra forced his elbows on the ground. His hand was broken and he could only use his elbows.
He propped up his upper body and sat up slowly. His body was shaking and bleeding, but he still sat up and yelled at the man, "I don't need your help!"
His voice was hoarse, weak, and angry.
"Get out of here quickly, Starrk!"
Kuroyashiki saw the man named Stark in front of him, still looking lazy.
He stood there with his hands hanging by his side, his face expressionless, and it seemed that he did not hear the shout of Nnoitra at all.
Suddenly, a voice came from the lower back. "Hey!"
That's a gun, the gun hanging on Starrk's waist, that gun is talking.
"Starrk!" The sound of the gun was loud and sharp, "Why should we save this bastard!"
"He is not our companion at all!"
Kuroyashiki glanced over in surprise.
He looked at the gun, which seemed to be shaking.
"Hey? Can your weapon still speak?" Starrk didn't answer, but reached out and took out the gun from his waist.
The gun was very beautiful, with intricate patterns engraved on its body, and those patterns glowed dimly in the moonlight.
He stretched out his fingers, kept fiddling with the safety position, and said softly:
"At any rate, that guy is also someone who can survive under our Reiatsu, and he also shares the name Espada."
He raised his head and looked at Kuroyashiki: "We are considered companions, so we can't just ignore him."
The gun kept shaking in his hand.
"Stop!" shouted, "Stop it now, you bastard!"
Kuroyashiki looked at the interaction between the gun and Starrk, and was a little unsure of what the relationship was.
Weapons and masters? Or something else?
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a person who likes killing."
Starrk's eyes lit up. "That's really great."
He stepped forward and was about to take Nnoitra away, but Kuroyashiki blocked his way. "But!" He looked at Starrk with a grin, "I want a fierce battle."
He raised the Zanpakuto high in his hand, the blade shining coldly in the moonlight.
About thirty more white ball monsters emerged from the surrounding sand.
Those monsters emerged from the sand, floated in the air, opened their mouths, and exposed their fangs.
He thought for a moment, raised his right foot, and stamped on the ground.
Boom!!!
There was a loud noise, and huge waves of sand were thrown around.
The sand waves hit Nnoitra, rolling him up and flying him into the distance, getting further and further away and quickly disappearing.
Kuroyashiki put his feet down and looked at Starrk.
"This way," he said with a smile, "Can we fight?"
Starrk looked at the direction where Nnoitra disappeared for a while, then looked away and sighed slightly.
"Hey." He looked at Kuroyashiki and said again as if discussing, "Can't we all sit down and have a cup of tea together?" His voice was gentle and sincere. "You know, the tea is really delicious."
"I have never drunk it before. Recently, several kinds of tea have been grown in Las Noches."
"How about you go to my Palace and sit down and have a nice chat."
"Just don't engage in any fighting or killing."
He once again adopted a negotiating tone. There was no fighting spirit in his eyes. It seemed that he really didn't want to fight. The gun roared again in his hand.
"You idiot, the other party is Shinigami."
"I came to Hueco Mundo and knocked on my door. How could I go back to have tea with you?"
Starrk reached out and pinched the butt of the gun this time, shaking it up and down. "Lilynette." His voice was helpless, "How can we know what the other party thinks without discussing it?"
Kuroyashiki laughed loudly, "Hahaha, it turns out her name is Lilynette."
He looked at the man and said hello in a friendly manner, "Hello, I am Shinigami Kuroyashiki from Soul Society."
His attitude also seems very friendly.
Starrk's eyes lit up and he responded quickly, "Hello, my name is Coyote·Starrk." Then he showed the gun in his hand and continued to introduce, "Her name is Lilynette."
"Why don't you go to our Palace and sit down and have a good rest? There are also delicious desserts."
"I really want to entertain."
He shook the gun in his hand more vigorously.
"Lilynette, Lord Aizen, aren't they also Shinigami?"
"Las Noches Didn't he bring so many delicious and delicious things?"
Lilynette snorted, "Humph!"
"It's indeed Shinigami, and the snacks are indeed delicious." She admitted and responded, then raised her voice, "But this guy is obviously here to cause trouble!"
Kuroyashiki smiled and said, "Hahaha!" He looked at Lilynette, "What she said is right."
He took two steps back to keep his distance. "I am here this time to hunt down Soul Society's traitor Aizen."
Then he turned to look at Starrk: "So I can't have tea with you."
He waved his hand, and thirty white balls floated from all directions to surround Starrk. Those monsters floated in the air with their mouths open, fangs exposed, ready to pounce at any time.
Starrk looked at the white monsters around him and sighed slightly.
"Really? That's such a pity."
He raised his hand horizontally and pointed Lilynette at Kuroyashiki. His movements were slow and casual, as if he was raising his hand while walking.
Those white monsters moved. They pounced on Starrk from all directions, opening their mouths and biting them.
Starrk's fingers moved.
Pull the trigger.
Bang!!!
Blue light erupted from the muzzle.
That's Cero.
It shoots at the nearest white monster.
The monster was instantly annihilated after being hit, leaving no fragments behind. Starrk did not stop and continued to pull the trigger.
Bang.
Bang bang bang bang bang!!!
Blue light continued to spray out from the muzzle.
One after another, so fast that you can't even see the gaps.
Each hit hits a white monster.
Each pass annihilates a monster.
Thirty white monsters were all gone in an instant.
Kuroyashiki stood there, stunned as he watched the disappearing monsters.
What is this? Cero that does not need to be charged? It can be cast instantly? And it is so powerful?
It is stronger than the golden Cero that Nnoitra just emitted.
He frowned, but soon smiled again, raised his hand, and Spiritual Power surged. Thirty more white monsters emerged from the surrounding sand. Those monsters emerged from the sand, floated in the air, opened their mouths, and exposed their fangs.
"Come again."
Starrk looked at the new monsters and sighed slightly.
Raise your hand and pull the trigger.
Bang bang bang!
The blue light spurted out again.
Thirty monsters were all gone in an instant.
Kuroyashiki's eyes widened and he looked at Starrk.
"How on earth did you do that?"
"After fighting for so long, the Reiatsu on my body has not decreased at all."
Starrk explained softly with calm eyes in his blue eyes.
"I have no other abilities, I only know the Cero set of moves." "That's all."
He turned his head and looked in the direction of Las Noches. The white Palace was shining in the moonlight. He looked back at Kuroyashiki.
"We can continue to fight like this." His voice was gentle, "There is no need to fight to the death."
Then he suggested. "Is it okay to just spend it like this?"
Kuroyashiki didn't say anything but just grinned.
The smile grew wider and wider, stretching from the corners of the mouth to the roots of the ears, revealing neat teeth.
He raised his hand and Spiritual Power surged again.
More white monsters emerged from the sand.
Fifty, one hundred, one hundred and fifty.
They were floating densely in the sky, blocking out the moonlight.
Starrk looked at those overwhelming white monsters.
He raised his hand again and pulled the trigger. BANG BANG!!!
Blue light poured down like a torrential rain.
One after another, endlessly.
One hundred and fifty white monsters were all gone within ten seconds.
Kuroyashiki's eyes are burning with excitement, and the Reiatsu in his body is gradually improving.
That Reiatsu is getting stronger and stronger.
Starrk noticed this change.
He immediately put away the gun, lowered the muzzle and spoke again, "Can you really not stop?"
His voice was very sincere, "We can have a cup of tea and sit down and have a good chat." His tone was very sincere.
"There's no need..."
Before he finished speaking, Kuroyashiki heard a voice from his waist.
Beep beep beep, the communicator rang. He lowered his head and glanced, it was Urahara Kisuke.
After it was connected, the voice of Urahara came out from inside.
"Delay a little more time."
Kuroyashiki was stunned for a moment and then sighed.
Raise your hand Spiritual Power surge.
Those white monsters emerged from the sand again.
Thirty of them were floating in the air with their mouths open.
He looked at Starrk, and Starrk looked at him.
Starrk was indeed relieved.
There was a relaxed expression on his face.
He raised his hand and pulled the trigger.
Bang. Slowly, not fast but steady.
Kill those monsters one by one.
Kuroyashiki also slows down the pace. Once one monster is destroyed, he will create another one.
The number of thirty remained unchanged, and the two of them just consumed it.
The moonlight shone down and fell on the two of them.
A long time passed.
Kuroyashiki asked.
"What number do you belong to in Espada?"
Starrk put down the gun and stretched out his left hand to take off his gloves. That hand was very white and clean.
There is a number printed on the back of the hand.
That number is 1.
"I am currently ranked number one among Espada." Kuroyashiki looked at the number, the lazy face, the blue eyes, and nodded.
The Reiatsu on the opponent's body is very powerful, and the Cero that has consumed hundreds of rounds has not yet dropped. This strength is really terrifying, and there is no problem in ranking first.
He made up his mind to buy time first.
After waiting for Urahara and Yan Si to complete their tasks, you can have a good fight.
Yan Si came to the door of Las Noches.
He raised his head and looked at the huge white Palace.
The moonlight shines down from above, falling on the smooth walls and the tall spiers.
The entire Palace glowed coldly under the moonlight, like a sleeping giant.
He didn't believe that when several people broke through the space and came to Hueco Mundo, they were not discovered by Aizen.
With that guy's level of surveillance, there may not be a few corners in the entire Hueco Mundo that are not monitored.
So when he came to the door, he untied his Zetsu generously and entered Las Noches directly. After walking through a long passage, the space suddenly became brighter.
Yan Si stopped and raised his head to look at the sky.
There was a light like daylight, very bright and warm.
The light spilled down from the dome, fell at the end of the passage, and fell on his face and shoulders.
You must know that Hueco Mundo has never said that it is daytime.
It will always be dark, and it will always be the pale moon.
But it's different here, there seem to be clouds above.
Those clouds are very white and light, and they are moving slowly.
He even smelled a ray of sunshine and felt warm all over.
Continuing forward and walking out of the passage, the vision suddenly opens up.
Now he is standing on the road paved with bluestone slabs.
The slate is very flat and smooth, and glows faintly in the sun. There are green lawns on both sides, the grass blades are swaying gently in the breeze, and there are various kinds of flowers that are blooming very brightly.
There is a sculpture standing in the center of the fountain. The sculpture is a virtual mask. Water pours out of the mask's mouth and falls into the pool.
The water in the pool is so clear that you can see the pebbles at the bottom and a few small fish swimming around in the water.
Yan Si stood there, watching all this.
This is exactly what a very nice Palace back garden looks like.
It has to be said that Aizen at least made Hueco Mundo feel the sunshine, smell the fragrance of flowers and grass, and even hear the sound of water flowing instead of blood.
At this time, Yan Si was a little curious as to how he did it.
Continuing to walk forward, not far along the bluestone road, I saw a person standing in the middle of the road.
Nelliel stood there.
She was wearing a white uniform that fit her perfectly and outlined her slender waist. Her green hair was spread over her shoulders, glowing softly in the sunlight.
There is a goat-horned skull mask on the top of his head, and he holds a Zanpakutō in his right hand.
The tip of the knife was hanging to the ground, and the blade was shining green in the sun. She looked at Yan Si and said nothing.
Yan Si stopped in front of her. The two were less than three meters apart and said with a smile:
"Aizen and I are considered friends. We came here just for a visit and nothing else."
Nelliel looked at him without any response.
There were rumbles in the distance, one after another, which were the sounds of battle.
Kuroyashiki and Nnoitra were fighting, and Starrk later joined the battle.
Two small figures emerged from behind her. Pesche stood on the left with his hands on his hips, raised his chest and said loudly:
"You're lying, there's so much fighting outside," he pointed to the distance. "How can it be just a visit?"
Dondochakka stood on the right and kept nodding.
"Yes, yes!"
Yan Si looked at their excited expressions, and then looked at Nelliel.
"Why do you want to help Aizen, this Shinigami intercept?" Nelliel was silent for a moment, his eyes shining in the sun, and then he spoke:
"No matter who you are, as long as they can bring hope to the world."
"Then I will protect you."
Yan Si nodded. "I understand."
Then he raised his head again, looked at the sky, took a deep breath and shouted loudly.
"Aizen, come out to pick up the guests!"
Nelliel's eyes widened, he clenched the handle of the knife and prepared to attack, lowering his body slightly.
At this moment, a gentle voice came from above.
"Brother Yan Si is my friend." The voice was very soft and gentle.
Nelliel's body froze and turned his head.
Aizen didn't know when he was standing there, standing next to a field of blooming flowers.
Wearing a white standard windbreaker, with his hands in his pockets, his hair was combed back into a bun, revealing his smooth forehead, and a Zanpakutō hung around his waist. He had a gentle smile on his face.
Nelliel quickly turned around and bowed slightly to Aizen: "I'm sorry Lord Aizen."
Her voice was respectful, "I didn't know he was your friend."
Aizen said gently, "You didn't do anything wrong."
"On the contrary, your performance has been very good during this period of time."
"Back off first."
"Brother Yan Si and I are catching up on old times."
Nelliel nodded. "Yes."
She left with Pesche and Dondochakka.
Pesche was still muttering something in a low voice, while Dondochakka kept nodding.
Aizen turned around and waved to Yan Si.
Yan Si followed, and the two walked through the garden, past the blooming flowers, around the fountain, and passed through one door after another. Those doors were all white and very tall.
They walked through a long corridor with paintings hanging on both sides, showing various scenes of Hueco Mundo.
The white desert, the pale moon, those picture frames are golden, shining under the light.
Keep going up.
We came to the top platform of the Palace, which is the highest point of Las Noches. The platform is large and covered with white slates. The slates are polished so smooth that they can reflect the clouds in the sky.
There is a low fence around it, and the fence is also white.
Standing here you can overlook the entire Las Noches.
You can see those white Palace, green lawns, blooming flowers and fountains.
Kaname Tōsen is already standing at the round table, wearing a white uniform, with a Zanpakutō hanging on his waist, with his hands behind his back in a respectful posture.
He saw the two people walking up and bowing slightly. "Lord Aizen."
"Master Yan Si, long time no see."
Yan Si nodded slightly. Kaname Tōsen is much stronger than before, Reiatsu is very solid and stable, he responded with a smile.
"It seems like you're doing well lately."
Kaname Tōsen and Reiatsu have indeed grown significantly, but it seems that Hogyoku and Soul Jade have not been used yet. They are just growing naturally, but they are already very good.
The two walked to the table and sat down.
The round table is white and very delicate, and the tabletop is polished so smooth that it can reflect people's shadows.
Kaname Tōsen picked up the teapot and poured tea for the two of them. Tea flowed out from the spout.
The sound of clattering is very clear, the heat rises in the cup, and the aroma of tea floats away. The aroma of tea is very special, with a hint of flowers and a hint of grass, filling the air.
Aizen picked up the teacup, looked at Yan Si and said with a smile:
"Brother Yan Si, there is no need to pretend that you like drinking when you get here."
Yan Si also picked up the tea cup and the two clinked their glasses.
Ding.
A very soft sound, crisp and sweet. Yan Si drank it all in one gulp, and the warm tea slid down his throat, with a faint sweetness.
He put down his cup and responded with a smile:
"Actually, I'm not pretending to like drinking."
"It's just that during those days, there was no other entertainment except drinking."
Aizen laughed:
"Hahaha, that's true."
He put down the cup. "But the situation is different now. Brother Yan Si should be busy too, right?"
He turned his head slightly and looked down and asked with a smile.
"Brother Yan Si, what do you think of Las Noches?"
Yan Si also looked sideways at the buildings shining in the sun, the floating clouds, and the fountains that were spraying water, and responded with admiration.
"This is an oasis in Hueco Mundo."
Kaname Tōsen interrupted at this time, standing up straight with his chest raised and a look of pride on his face. "Lord Aizen has brought peace and hope to Hueco Mundo."
"An end to countless years of killing."
Aizen smiled slightly and glanced at those Palace: "As a ruler, if you can't even do these, then you are no different from trash."
Yan Si's brows jumped.
I always feel like this guy is insinuating something.
Who are you talking about?
Baraggan?
Or someone else?
He didn't ask and just continued to look down.
The two of them just looked at Las Noches.
Look at the land under the sun.
Look at those Great Hollow walking on the lawn. Those Great Hollow are no longer fighting each other, but are doing their own thing.
Some were walking, some were chatting, and some were lying on the lawn basking in the sun. It was very quiet and peaceful.
After a pause, Aizen continued.
"Brother Yan Si, Urahara Kisuke and Kuroyashiki are here this time."
His voice was very casual. "It's more for gathering information."
"It's a good idea to use Kuroyashiki as a feint, but if you die here."
"The loss is too great for Soul Society."
Kuroyashiki's combat power is very terrifying. Being invited to join Squad Zero based on his pure strength is very valuable.
However, Aizen also has many ways to keep him in Hueco Mundo forever.
The simplest way is the current situation, it is enough to let Starrk haunt him.
It is true that Kuroyashiki is very powerful in combat, but as long as Starrk doesn't mess up, there is no way he will lose, which is enough to hold him back.
Moreover, this is the case if he doesn't end up personally. Because he never thought of killing him here.
As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the corner of Las Noches, and he spoke impatiently:
"Yes, let's go and play with Urahara."
Kaname Tōsen walked out from the round table and stood behind Aizen, lowering his head. "Yes, Lord Aizen." Turned and left.
Yan Si followed Aizen's line of sight and looked over.
He saw Urahara Kisuke squatting in a corner. The corner was very hidden, in the gap between several Palaces.
The sun doesn't shine there, there are only faint shadows.
Urahara was wearing a black windbreaker, squatting there with his head lowered.
His hands were moving, and he was tinkering with something.
Yan Si looked back at Aizen.
"What, what did that guy do?"
Aizen responded nonchalantly, "Nothing, just installing Reishi Bomb." "If it is successfully detonated, it should be able to destroy several Palace."
Yan Si nodded and looked at the white Palace below, those green lawns, and those blooming flowers.
"That really should be stopped."
"To be honest, the construction here is pretty good."
Aizen smiled.
Yan Si asked casually, "Speaking of brother Aizen, you should know that Soul Society has guessed that you are going to create Ōken, right?"
Aizen kept smiling, put a fist on his chin with one hand, leaned against the fence, and looked outside Las Noches.
On the two figures who are fishing and fighting, Kuroyashiki and Starrk are still there.
The white monster floats in the air, with blue light flashing occasionally, playing slowly and leisurely.
"Of course, I made it very clear when I left."
"When I return, I will stand in the sky."
"Royal Palace is actually not in the same space as Soul Society, and it also has extremely strong defensive power." "You really need to use Ōken to open it."
His eyes slanted towards Yan Si and asked softly:
"So, what news did brother Yan Si bring about Ōken?"
Yan Si was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, with a helpless smile.
"It was guessed."
He reached out and scratched his head.
Then he simply sat on the white fence and responded with a smile:
"Then I'm too lazy to hide it."
"Actually, the bones of all members of Squad Zero are Ōken."
He directly stated the purpose of coming here, which was to reveal the news to Aizen and let him shift his target to the members of Squad Zero.
Indeed, if Royal Palace does not open, Aizen will have no way to contact the members of Squad Zero.
But you can get them to take the initiative. There are also ways to take the initiative, and the key is Shiba Clan.
But Yan Si has no intention of telling this news right now.
Aizen narrowed his eyes and responded with a smile.
"After all, it took the souls of millions of people to create Ōken."
"I believe brother Yan Si will definitely find a way to tell me another way."
"Squad Zero member, it's not particularly difficult to get there."
He looked at Yan Si and asked:
"It seems that brother Yan Si hasn't used Hogyoku yet. Did you notice something is wrong?"
Yan Si's brows jumped, he was silent for a moment, and then responded:
"That's because I also know you're waiting for news from me."
"Since you choose to stand above the sky, there must be a sky below. Otherwise, what can you stand on?"
The two people's questions and answers were a bit out of tune, but they looked at each other and smiled. After laughing, Yan Si responded to Aizen's next question.
"About Hogyoku, I do feel something is wrong."
"But I don't know what it is."
Aizen nodded and stood up, putting his hands in his pockets:
"In return for the news, let me share some insights."
"As early as the experiment of injecting virtual power into Shinigami."
"I just found out through research."
"Emotions can cause them to Hollowification to speed up."
"Returning to the essence, arising from the extreme emotions of the human soul."
"Whether it's resentment or nostalgia."
He turned slightly sideways and looked at the figure who was fighting Kuroyashiki.
That lazy man, that talking gun. "The man who is fighting Kuroyashiki right now."
"The name is Coyote·Starrk."
"He has extremely strong emotions, even to the point of self-Arrancar ification."
"And the rest of Espada, all of them have reached the extreme in a certain emotion."
"So after becoming Shinigami, their strength has made a qualitative leap."
Yan Si responded softly:
"But they still haven't surpassed it."
"Isn't it?"
Aizen nodded and looked at those Palace in the distance.
"So evolution may have something to do with this."
In fact, he has not found the right direction now and is still exploring. Otherwise, he would have used Hogyoku to complete the evolution and then kill Soul Society.
Yan Si frowned slightly. He couldn't help but remember that he learned about Soul King when he was chatting with Tsunayashiro Tokinada.
If the other party is really a filter, then what is left after filtering out, will it be these strong emotions?
No, most likely not.
He sat tapping his fingers on his knees.
