As his consciousness gradually faded, Shinji Hirako was ultimately no match for Gosuke and Kaname Tōsen, two Captain-level fighters who had been hiding their true strength.
Just when Shinji Hirako thought he was about to die, two figures suddenly appeared, changing his Shinji Hirako...
"Gentlemen, could you please tell me what you're doing?"
Wearing a black cloak, Kisuke Urahara and the Kidō Chief Tessai Tsukabishi slowly reappeared in front of Gosuke and Kaname Tōsen, and asked the people in front of them.
"Just as that sir said, Kisuke Urahara, you were bound to come here."
Gosuke looked at the suddenly appearing figure, a slight smile playing on his lips. He wasn't surprised at all by the sudden appearance of the figure before him; on the contrary, he felt a sense of "just as I expected" about the person's sudden appearance, as if he had known all along that the person would come and had been prepared for the arrival of someone who wanted money.
"Oh?"
Kisuke Urahara, cloaked in black, frowned as he looked at the group opposite him. From their words, he deduced that behind these two men was an even more powerful enemy, an unknown foe capable of commanding two Captain-level Soul Reaper in battle.
" Gosuke, you talk too much."
Kaname Tōsen he listened to Gosuke's incessant chatter, which sounded like that of a chatterbox.
"Hahaha... I understand, I won't say anything more."
"So, Captain Kisuke Urahara of the Twelfth Division... what exactly do you plan to do?"
"Will you rescue these captains who are plagued by the power of the Hollows, or will you fight us to the death here?"
Gosuke gave Kaname Tōsen apologetic smile, then turned to Kisuke Urahara and the others in front of him and asked.
" Gosuke..."
Kisuke Urahara stared at Gosuke in front of him, clenching his teeth, his voice filled with anger.
"Get out of the way! Kisuke Urahara! Hadō #88: Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō!"
Just as Kisuke Urahara Kisuke Urahara was at a loss, Tessai Tsukabishi, who was standing next to him, Kisuke Urahara him away and then released his Hadō. The 88th Hadō was released without any incantation!
"Boom!!"
A terrifying blue lightning bolt transformed into a giant dragon and attacked Kaname Tōsen and Gosuke in front of them.
"It's useless..."
Gosuke glanced at the dazzling blue Sky-Shaking Cannon, a hint of disdain flashing across his face.
" The Bakudō #81: Dankū..."
Faced with the Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō unleashed by the Kidō Chief, Gosuke directly unleashed the Dankū -Splitting Technique, abandoning the incantation.
"Boom!"
The incredibly powerful Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō was instantly blocked.
"As expected... the previous Kenpachi actually Hadō with his Dankū forwent incantation..."
The Kidō Chief, Tessai Tsukabishi, stared at the demonic Hadō that Gosuke had easily blocked. His eyes, hidden behind his glasses, trembled slightly. Even he hadn't expected that this unknown Kenpachi would have such a level of Kidō cultivation... But this was also normal, after all, the other party had served in the Soul Society for more than two hundred years. Two hundred years of Kidō cultivation combined with the other party Kenpachi's identity was indeed normal.
"Then goodbye..."
Gosuke smiled slightly at the Kidō Chief Tessai Tsukabishi, and Kisuke Urahara, then walked away with Kaname Tōsen.
"Puff..."
Just as Gosuke and Kaname Tōsen a short distance away, Gosuke couldn't hold on any longer, and a mouthful of blood gushed from his throat.
Are you alright?
Seeing that Kaname Tōsen had suffered internal Gosuke after enduring a Hadō from Tessai Tsukabishi's Hado technique, Tosen asked him a question.
"It's nothing... As expected of the renowned Kidō Chief, the power of this Hadō far exceeds my expectations."
Gosuke gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a shadow of gloom flashing in his eyes. He had worked so hard to cultivate, but the gap in talent still couldn't be easily bridged.
"If there's nothing else, hurry up and go... don't keep such an adult in a hurry."
Kaname Tōsen looked at the injured Gosuke without a trace of pity. From the moment they were prepared to become blades in that person's hands, they had already realized that the road to the Heavenly Throne was nothing but a field of bones and corpses, and each person's sacrifice was just adding a tiny bit of color to this epic road.
"Good..."
Gosuke nodded slightly to Tōsen, and the two figures gradually disappeared into the thick fog ahead.
What should we do?
Looking at the captains and vice-captains lying on the ground, Tessai Tsukabishi asked Kisuke Urahara.
"If this were in my lab, with the equipment there, everything would be fine, but here..."
Kisuke Urahara looked somewhat flustered, his forehead covered in sweat as he gazed at his Hollowfication colleagues scattered on the ground, his anxiety palpable.
"Is that so? If sending these people to your laboratory, Mr. Kisuke Urahara, is sufficient, then leave it to me!"
Upon Tessai Tsukabishi Kisuke Urahara's plan to resolve the situation, Kisuke Urahara resolved to help him.
Forbidden Technique: Temporal Stasis!
With Tessai Tsukabishi's shout, a barrier that could isolate time instantly enveloped all the captains and vice-captains who had been corrupted by the Hollowfication.
"This is..."
Kisuke Urahara looked at the Tessai Tsukabishi and a look of shock flashed in his eyes; it far exceeded his expectations.
" Spatial Displacement..."
Before Kisuke Urahara could utter any words of shock, a powerful Kidō disrupted the space, transporting everyone present from the wasteland directly to Kisuke Urahara's laboratory.
"I hope it's alright to leave it to you, Urahara!"
Tessai Tsukabishi asked Kisuke Urahara, who was standing beside him.
"Absolutely no problem."
Kisuke Urahara nodded slightly to Tessai Tsukabishi, then skillfully operated the instrument, as if it were not the first time he had encountered this phenomenon.
" Kisuke Urahara, you seem to know a lot about the phenomena observed in these people?"
All of this was observed by Tessai Tsukabishi to the side. He was immediately curious and then asked Kisuke Urahara.
"Hmm~"
"This isn't the first time I've seen something like this with Captain Shinji Hirako and the others. Someone I know has experienced something similar—this ability to have the power of Soul Reaper and a Hollow coexisting—I call it Hollowfication!"
"Actually, this isn't a bad thing. As long as you tame and control the void within your body, you'll gain power far exceeding your own abilities. So... let's begin!"
Having already made contact with Szayelaporro and secretly studied the condition of Kuruyashiki Kenpachi, Kisuke Urahara remained completely calm in the face of the situation involving Shinji Hirako and the others. He operated various instruments in the room and began emergency treatment.
However, just as Kisuke Urahara was urgently treating the captains and vice-captains, the Central 46 Chambers had already issued an arrest warrant for Kisuke Urahara... and a kill order for all Soul Reaper infected by Hollow power.
In the end, everything unfolded exactly as Aizen had planned. Kisuke Urahara was forced to leave Soul Society with a group of Soul Reaper possessing Hollow powers, and from that moment on Visored were born... However, this did not signify the end of the matter.
The truly earth-shattering event in Soul Society was that Shihoin Family, Second Division Captain of the Gotei 13 Yoruichi Shihōin commander-in-chief of the Execution Force, betrayed Soul Society and kidnapped Kisuke Urahara and others.
In an instant, the entire Soul Society was plunged into a major earthquake. At the same time, the Central 46 Chambers finally got their chance to take action against the Five Great Noble Clans. Faced with the betrayal of one of the heads of the Five Great Noble Clans, the Five Great Noble Clans had no choice but to relinquish more power. From this moment on, the glory of the Five Great Noble Clans gradually declined, and even the textbooks of the Shin'ō Academy were slightly modified.
We must not pursue the aesthetics of clashing swords.
One should not pursue the virtue of dying without returning home.
One must not only consider one's own life.
If you wish to protect the king and his five dukes, then you should slaughter all the enemies from the shadows of the leaves!
--Excerpted from the Shin'ō Academy Textbook: The Great Guide to Soul Reaper Experiences (Old Edition)
Don't pursue aesthetics in combat.
Don't seek virtue in death.
Don't just think about saving your own life.
If you want to protect what is worth protecting, then strike the enemy who should be defeated from behind!
--Excerpted from the Shin'ō Academy Textbook· The Soul Reaper Experience·Latest Edition
The glory of one king and five dukes... has gradually been forgotten, of course, this is in the normal course of history...
Meanwhile, in Hueco Mundo Hueco Mundo, as soon as Tier Harribel arrived, he contacted Szayelaporro's hidden hand in Hueco Mundo, a man named Yylfordt Granz, who bore some resemblance to Szayelaporro but was an absolute battle maniac.
After Tier Harribel fought his opponent for three days and three nights, turning the entire Hueco Mundo into chaos, the opponent finally agreed to help Tier Harribel contact Szayelaporro.
After Tier Harribel contacted Szayelaporro, everyone converged on Hueco Mundo via Szayelaporro's communication device, provided that those who received the message did so.
"So what about Lilynette?"
Sōgo looked at Kuruyashiki Kenpachi, Tier Harribel, Szayelaporro, Szayelaporro Tsunayashiro Tokinada, and Aya Shaoling Fon who had been with him the whole time, raised an eyebrow, and asked.
"I'm sorry, Lord Sōgo, I was unable to contact Miss Lilynette."
Szayelaporro said he had really tried his best, but Lilynette never contacted him from beginning to end, as if she had blocked his signal.
"So, we have to go find her one by one, all of us Valley of Screams?"
Sōgo felt a headache coming on.
"It's not that complicated. As long as we possess Lilynette's Spiritual Pressure, we can find each other using my device!"
Szayelaporro rummaged through the backpack on his back and finally pulled out a magical gadget.
"Oh! Okay Szayel Doraemon."
Sōgo looked at Szayelaporro, who had produced a magical gadget, and shouted excitedly.
"But Lord Sōgo, I don't have Miss Lilynette's Spiritual Pressure ~"
Szayelaporro, having produced his magical artifact, gave Sōgo an apologetic smile.
"Oh, this..."
After hearing Szayelaporro's words Sōgo was speechless. "If you don't have Lilynette's Spiritual Pressure, what's the point of your moralizing this? You bastard!"
"But don't panic! We have Roka!"
Just as Sougo Sōgo disappointed, Szayelaporro pulled off another surprise. As Szayelaporro finished speaking, an ordinary-looking woman suddenly appeared before everyone.
" Arrancar?"
Sōgo stared in shock at the woman before him, or rather, at the Vasto Lorde- level Menos Grande who should be called Arrancar. He hadn't expected that there would be a new Arrancar in this world besides Szayelaporro, Lilynette, and Tier Harribel.
"..."
The suddenly appearing Arrancar didn't speak. She simply nodded slightly to Sōgo and stood silently to the side, her eyes devoid of any sparkle.
" Roka, please retrieve Lilynette's Spiritual Pressure information for me."
Szayelaporro addressed his humanoid computer.
"Um..."
Spider Girl Roka nodded slightly, then a strange light flashed in her eyes, and then Spiritual Pressure that was Lilynette's erupted from Roka's body.
"Very good... With this Spiritual Pressure layer, we can pinpoint Lilynette's location."
After obtaining the information he wanted, Szayelaporro quickly began operating the instruments in his hands.
"Are you able to store other people's Spiritual Pressure data and then copy it?"
Sōgo looked at the girl, Roka, with great interest and asked a question.
"Um..."
Roka first looked up at Szayelaporro, and after receiving Szayelaporro's consent, nodded slightly to Sōgo.
"If that's the case, could you... copy me?"
Sōgo pointed to his cheek and asked.
"..."
Roka didn't say anything after hearing Sōgo's words; she simply looked at Sōgo with her eyes.
Parsing in progress... Data too large to parse... Using the entire Hueco Mundo as a backup disk, re-parse and copy... Parsing complete... Complete copy time 110 years... Data too large, entering hibernation mode.
"Bump!"
With a loud bang, Roka vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.
"..."
Everyone stared at the Vasto Lorde Menos Grande had self-destructed after hearing Sōgo's words, unsure of what to say.
"As expected of Sōgo, he can defeat Vasto Lorde Menos Grande with just a glance. I've learned something new~ I've learned something new~"
Kuruyashiki Kenpachi spoke to Sougo with an expression of Sōgo admiration.
"I didn't, I don't know, don't talk nonsense..."
Sōgo was at a loss for words. He was just curious if the other person could copy him, and the other person just exploded. Was it really that hasty? And Kuruyashiki, could you be any more embarrassed? Didn't you see I'm wearing an eye patch? How could you shut him down with just your eyes?
My computer...
The most speechless person here is Szayelaporro. His computer just exploded like that, and now he has nowhere to complain... So much data, all gone now! Szayelaporro is now regretting bringing Roka to meet with this group.
"Hehe... Anyway, we've located Lilynette's whereabouts. That's her! Let's go find Lilynette!"
Sōgo smiled somewhat awkwardly. He certainly couldn't afford to compensate Szayelaporro, and frankly... it was quite embarrassing for him to witness a living, Menos Grande exploding in front of him.
