Chapter 153: Between the God of Death and the Hollow

Chapter 153 151. Between the Shinigami and the Hollow

"Who are you? Why did you save us?"

In the endless white sand, Harribel stood in front of the Sunsun sisters and looked at Higashino Hideichi and asked.

"Soul Society, the Great Sword Hunter of the Sword Hunters, Higashino Hideichi.

Of course, you may still be unfamiliar with this position now, so you can just treat me as a Shinigami captain." Higashino Hideichi walked towards Harribel while holding the unconscious Yushi Oxu.

Harribel's reaction made Higashino Hideichi feel strange.

Because according to the original plot, Harribel should have been saved once by Aizen at this time, so that she, who was originally just an ordinary Vastold-class Hollow, and her grandsons who accompanied her would be favored by Aizen and given Arrancar by using the Hougyoku.

So Harribel should not have this reaction to being saved by the Shinigami again, and her emotions should be calmer.

"So? You still haven't said why you saved us. You are the god of death, and we are hollows. We are natural enemies."

Harribel asked Higashino Hideichi.

Hearing this, Higashino Hideichi was more convinced that because of his intrusion, Aizen mastered the Hueco Mundo in advance, so the original plot of Harribel meeting Aizen was gone, or the protagonist changed from Aizen to Higashino Hideichi himself?

If this is the case, Higashino Hideichi felt that he originally just wanted to make Bylergan unhappy, so it seems that he can do more?

After all, no matter from which angle you look at Harribel, he is a high-quality subordinate who can score close to full marks.

Loyal, powerful, perfect figure, and good personality, and he does not have the bad habits of most hollows.

Aizen does not know how to pity such talents, but Higashino Hideichi does.

"Enemy? That's just a label defined by others. Let me ask you, if I ask you to raise your knife to me now, will you do it?"

Hideichi Tono walked step by step to Harribel's front, until the distance between the two was almost zero, Harribel could even feel the breath of Higashino Higashino hitting his face.

The other party stared at him with a sense of oppression, and Harribel's mind was full of only three words at this moment, "Can you do it?"

Harribel knew that in her current state, if she didn't care about anything, she could still release two complete virtual flashes.

She also knew that Higashino Higashino must be very clear about this, because she had told Higashino Higashino about this before.

But Higashino Higashino still put the green-haired Grim Reaper aside, and came to her without any defense, even close to her.

In this case, as long as she condensed the virtual flash, she would definitely hit Higashino Higashino. At such a close distance, the latter had no way to avoid it!

But

For the first time, Harribel felt his heart beating fast. Facing the unreasonable and oppressive questioning of Higashino Hideichi, Harribel briefly chose to give up thinking at this moment and followed his heart.

"I won't"

As soon as the words came out, the three sisters standing behind Harribel, ready to fight to the death with Higashino Hideichi, were shocked. Is this still the Harribel they know?

You can't surrender to this god of death! Harribel!

Almost at the same time, the same idea appeared in the minds of the three sisters, but none of them dared to say it out loud.

"So you are not my enemy, and I won't do anything to you, so I am not your enemy either. This is a very simple logic, isn't it?"

Looking at Harribel's performance, Higashino Hideichi was very satisfied, although this was a result that had been expected.

"Hmm"

Harribel nodded mechanically. She always felt that there was something wrong with Higashino Hideichi's words, but she didn't seem to notice any problem for a while. After all, the logic of this sentence was very smooth.

"However, there is no free lunch in the world. Even if we are not enemies, I have no obligation to save you. The reason why I rescued you is naturally because I have my needs."

"So, what do you want us to do?"

Hearing this, Harribel finally felt that everything was normal.

"Do something for me. In return, I will make you one of the current Ten Espadas of Hueco Mundo."

Higashino Hideichi's dagger was revealed.

"." Harribel was silent for a while, and then asked back, "How can you, a captain of the Shinigami, help me become one of the Ten Espadas?"

Harribel no longer questioned why Higashino Hideichi, as a captain of the Shinigami, would ask her, an Arrancar, to help him do things, because even the Shinigami and the Hollows do not have to be enemies. Such words can be said by Higashino Hideichi, so it is natural that he would say such words to make himself his subordinate.

As for who she would be subordinate to or who she would work for, Harribel actually had no resistance in her heart. She was not a person who loved power, nor was she a Hollow who loved freedom by nature. For the original Harribel, she simply held on to the simple wish of "not wanting to become stronger by killing others".

So even when she heard Higashino Hideichi's request, she did not object, and even had a little expectation in her heart?

But for another promise made by Higashino Hideichi, Harribel expressed her doubts.

Although she did want to become one of the Ten Espadas, in this way, she would have the right to act freely and have enough identity in Hueco Mundo to ensure that Bylergan could no longer come to trouble herself and her grandsons like now.

But she seriously suspected that Higashino Hideichi, the captain of the Death God, had no idea what the Ten Espadas of Hueco Mundo meant, and what kind of way to become the new Ten Espadas.

A Death God wanted to interfere with the selection of their Ten Espadas? What kind of a fairy tale was this?

Then, Harribel found out that she was wrong.

Because Higashino Hideichi was not only clear, but also very domineering.

"It's very simple, just kill those Espadrilles who are stronger than you. As long as the position is vacant and there is no Arrancar stronger than you to fill that position, then the position of the Espadrilles can only be yours, right?"

Higashino Hideichi smiled lightly.

Yes, this is very Shinigami,

Harribel just thought that Higashino Hideichi was a Shinigami who was friendly to Hollows. Now it seems that Higashino Hideichi is only friendly to her

Hmm?

Only friendly to her?

Harribel, who was still looking at Higashino Hideichi normally, suddenly lowered her head.

An emotion that she didn't know how to describe suddenly surged into her heart.

There should be no such thing between Shinigami and Hollows

Higashino Hideichi, who didn't know what Harribel was thinking, saw Harribel suddenly lower his head and thought that the latter was questioning the authenticity of his words.

What? Wasn't the Hell Execution Song just now shocking enough?

It's okay, I'll show you another trick!

Higashino Hideichi didn't believe it. In the original plot, Aizen could deal with Harribel with just a few words, but today, the plot development was almost the same, and he couldn't deal with it!

So Higashino Hideichi stretched out his left hand and gently pressed on Harribel's left arm that was decayed to bones by Bylergan's aging ability.

If you want to ask what Higashino Hideichi learned from the members of the Zero Division in that fictional future, then this top-level Kaido strengthened by the "hot spring ghost" Kirinji Tenshiro must be one of them.

Guiding the power of his own Soul King fragments to merge into it, and then using the carrier of Kaido to cast it out, Higashino Hideichi easily restored Harribel's left arm to its original state.

This should have been Higashino Hideichi's fantasy about his future Fullbring ability, but in front of the Zero Division members who knew the characteristics of the Soul King's physical ability very well, even without Fullbring as a carrier, it was easy to redevelop the Soul King fragments in Higashino Hideichi at that time.

And looking at her left arm that was almost the same as the original one, Harribel was even more afraid to look directly at Higashino Hideichi.

Because she had a deep understanding of how overbearing Bylergan's aging ability was, but Higashino Hideichi actually helped her restore her arm like this, so how much did Higashino Hideichi pay?

Although Higashino Hideichi didn't say it, Harribel knew that it must be more than she imagined.

So, Higashino Hideichi was right about her.

No. Her, Harribel, was Vastod, and Higashino Hideichi was a god of death. There was absolutely no possibility between the two.

Harribel mustered up her courage, raised her head, and finally looked Higashino Hideichi in the eyes again: "I know, I will do things for you in the future, Master Hideichi!"

She decided to finalize the relationship between the two. In this way, maybe Higashino Hideichi would no longer have such unrealistic fantasies about her in the future?

After all, they are a god of death and a hollow.

Higashino Hideichi had no idea of ​​Harribel's thoughts. He just thought that Harribel was finally conquered by his strength.

Sure enough, these great hollows were all bullies who only feared the strong and the weak. As long as they showed their invincible strength, they would surrender to anyone.

"Very good, then the first thing you should do after following me is to follow my instructions and go to the real world to make a big fuss in the near future!"

Fortunately, Higashino Hideichi did not forget the fundamental purpose of bringing Yushiro Oxu to Hueco Mundo, which was to tear open Tsunayashiro Tokinada and promote the Arrancar threat theory.

However, Harribel's next words made Higashino Hideichi depressed.

"Go to the real world to make a big fuss? To what extent do you have to do it?"

"It doesn't have to be serious, but you must let most of the nearby Shinigami know of your presence. It's best to bring the three Arrancars behind you with you. The more Arrancars, the better."

"Hmm"

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"I think we may not need to go there at all?"

"What do you mean?"

Harribel looked at Higashino Hideichi who sat back next to the unconscious Yushima Oshu, and was a little confused. In her opinion, isn't this a good thing?

However, for Higashino Hideichi, God knows how rich Higashino's inner expression was when he learned from Harribel that the day before he came to Hueco Mundo from Soul Society, that is, the day when Higashino Hideichi just told Aizen about Tsunayashiro Tokinada's idea and part of his next plan, Aizen temporarily transferred a group of pro-Aizen faction Arrancar including Koyata Stark from Hueco Mundo, leaving only the pro-Bylegan faction Arrancar including Bylegan in Hueco Mundo.

Okay, okay, you Aizen Sosuke, I will treat you with sincerity. You have a plan but you don't tell me, right?

Although Higashino Hideichi couldn't get a glimpse of Aizen's true intention from Harribel's few words, even a fool would know that after Aizen had clearly stated that he had no idea about the present-day Quincy, who else could be qualified to let Aizen dispatch troops except the Shinigami in Soul Society?

Urahara Kisuke is still staying in the West Shodown Bureau with a Hollow Shinigami and hasn't come back yet!

In other words, Higashino Hideichi didn't need to come to Hueco Mundo at all!

However, for Higashino Hideichi, it was meaningless to be angry with Aizen. After all, he was his boss, and the boss had no obligation to inform him of what he wanted to do.

Therefore, Higashino Hideichi recovered his expression after a while, but people who knew him well could definitely see from his flickering eyes that he was still angry.

Well, in the previous life, the people of Higashino Hideichi's country all followed an old saying, since we are here

You, Aizen, took away the main force of Hueco Mundo, right?

Okay, that's just right. Higashino Hideichi hasn't fought with Bylergan for a long time. If he doesn't teach Bylergan a lesson today, his trip to Hueco Mundo will be in vain!

And time goes back to a day ago. The night before Higashino Hideichi was about to take Yushiro Oshu from Soul Society to Hueco Mundo, a vicious incident occurred in Kanda Prefecture, Ichimoku Town in the real world. In a gathering that was supposed to be attended only by humans in the real world, a special form of Hollow broke into it and killed all the humans, and then killed a nearby 13th Division soldier Shinigami who discovered the abnormality and rushed over to check the situation.

The death of a soldier Shinigami immediately alerted the Shinigami in the real world, but until this point, most of the Shinigami in the 13th Division had not really taken this matter seriously, because facing the Hollows, the casualties of ordinary soldier Shinigami were indeed very high.

It was not until the second batch of support teams led by the 9th seat of the 13th Division that were sent to support were all killed that the report of this incident was finally submitted to the deputy captain of the 13th Division, Shiba Kaiyan.

"Captain, it seems that a Hollow with abnormal strength has appeared in the real world. I need to deal with it immediately. At the same time, I would like to ask you to apply to the Central 46th Office to allow me to lift the spiritual pressure restrictions when necessary in the real world!"

Shiba Kaiyan, who is nominally the deputy captain, has actually been handling the captain's affairs for many years. He did not rashly go directly to the real world, but first came to Yujin Hall where his captain Ukitake Jushiro was, and asked him for instructions.

This is the normal process, although generally speaking, it is not necessary to do so. As long as the reason is reasonable, most of the time, the Central 46th Office will not really pursue responsibility. At least most of the Shinigami above the vice-captain level will not specifically apply for such authority from above.

But Shiba Kaiyan still did it.

And the answer he got was naturally in agreement.

However, after Shiba Kaiyan left, Ukitake Jushiro's heart has not been able to calm down. He always feels that something bad will happen.

So he left his small Yugen Hall for a long time and went to the family's ancestral hall. There was a statue moved by family members. Near the Rukongai where the statue used to be, the civilians would call the statue Mimihaki Great God.

Although Ukitake Jushiro is not a professional priest, due to the special connection between himself and Mimihaki Great God, his hexagrams have always been relatively accurate.

Tonight, the target is Shiba Kaiyan,

and the hexagram is very bad!
