Chapter 157 155 Don’t You Have Any Interest in Bylergan?
Chapter 157 155. Don't you have any interest in Bylergan?
The same red sun rose in Soul Society and the real world at the same time.
The battle in Beihai Prefecture was the shortest. After sending out the captain, Ichimaru Gin defeated all the transformed souls by himself.
The whole process was not suspenseful. In front of Ichimaru Gin's magic gun, those transformed souls were as fragile as thin paper.
But after dealing with these transformed souls with thunder, Ichimaru Gin did not seem satisfied. He seemed to be worried that there were still fish that slipped through the net, and he began a carpet search in Beihai Prefecture.
In another battlefield in the real world, the battle situation was much more tragic than that of Ichimaru Gin.
Of course, it was the Hollows who suffered the most.
Facing the serious captain of the 8th Division, Kyoraku Shunsui, the desperate master Kenpachi Zaraki, the meticulous Komamura Sajin, and the professional captain of the 2nd Division, Soi-Fong, if it weren't for the physical condition of Ukitake Jushiro, Kyoraku Shunsui forcefully transferred Ukitake Jushiro to the logistics department to protect the safety of Shiba Kaiyan in the rear, then this battle might not have lasted until the evening.
Looking at the tragic situation of the dead and wounded around him, with almost only himself alive, Koyate Stark stood in the air like a king, looking down at the Shinigami.
Just like the Shinigami captain who claimed to be Kyoraku Shunsui on the opposite side did not use his full strength, he did not take it seriously from beginning to end.
The combat effectiveness shown by these Shinigami captains so far is not enough to make him feel threatened.
However, the battle has been fought to this point, and there is no need to continue.
His mission this time was completed. Not only did he successfully drag all the Shinigami captains into the real world, but he also consumed a large number of failed Arrancars in the eyes of Lord Aizen.
Stark knew that it was time for him to withdraw to Hueco Mundo.
If he had to find something unpleasant about this battle, it would probably be that he had several opportunities to kill the Shinigami Kenpachi and Komamura Sajin, but they were all stopped by the Shinigami Shunsui Kyoraku.
The Shinigami captain gave Stark a very strong feeling, but Stark didn't know why the captain never used his Shikai or Bankai. Perhaps, it was because of the wrong location?
Stark felt that if he had a chance in the future, he could try to challenge the Shinigami captain.
Because it was only in Shunsui Kyoraku that Stark felt a hint of a threatening aura.
"It looks like today's battle is over. Dear Shinigami captains, we will meet again. I hope that our next meeting will be a pleasant battle!"
Stark didn't have any regrets. When the few remaining Arrancars were still fighting with Kenpachi Zaraki and Komamura Sajin, he pointed to the sky and opened the black cavity.
Then he went into the black cavity without looking back, and the remaining Arrancars were all abandoned.
"Damn it! Don't even think about escaping!"
But facing Stark's "escape" behavior, Soi Fong, who was still being entangled by an Arrancar, couldn't bear it. She immediately ignored the opponent in front of her and would rather take one of his attacks and rush into the sky, vowing to stop Stark.
Then, as the new captain Soi Fong who had not seen Stark fight in the noble hunting event, she heard the whispers that were enough to give her nightmares and saw the horrible scene that was enough to make countless Shinigami lose their fighting spirit.
"Go after him, wolves!
Return to Blade, infinite reload·Hollow Flash!"
The moment the voice ended, within Soi-Fong's field of vision, outside of her field of vision, all visible and invisible places
Hollow Flash, like a meteor shower, fell endlessly from the sky.
As far as her field of vision could reach, Soi-Fong could not even see any place where she could hide.
Fortunately, the man who had been paddling appeared in front of Soi-Fong, and used his powerful Kidō Blade combo to forcibly tear open a hole in the sky full of hollow flashes.
As for the other captains of the Shinigami, they also showed their magical powers.
Ukitake Jushiro only needed to raise his left hand Zanpakutō, and all the hollow flashes that leaked to him would be absorbed.
Kenpachi Zaraki "happily" enjoyed the baptism of infinite hollow flashes. He wanted to tear open a hole like Kyoraku Shunsui, but unfortunately, his current spiritual pressure did not support him to do so.
It was just that his life was tough enough, and in the end he completely lost his ability to move.
As a brave man who was also brave enough to face the enemy, Komamura Sajin's fate was no better than Kenpachi Zaraki's. The two of them lay down in the rain of flashes one after the other.
Fortunately, the Arrancars abandoned by Stark had a worse fate. Facing Stark's almost indiscriminate attack, these Arrancars who were already in danger were not spared and all died at the hands of their own people.
"You didn't use your true strength until the end?"
As Stark's figure disappeared into the black cavity, Kyoraku Shunsui whispered faintly.
Although he was not able to fight against Bylergan and Stark who attacked Soul Society during the noble hunting incident because of the area he was in charge of, the information about the combat power of these two people was completely placed on his desk afterwards.
This is also the reason why Kyoraku Shunsui chose to stand aside and watch after discovering that Stark had not fought seriously from beginning to end.
As things have developed to this point, one thing is almost thrown in their faces, that is, Stark led the Arrancar to the world this time, seemingly with the idea of betraying his teammates.
But the question is, what is the reason?
Is there an internal conflict among these Hollows?
In addition, according to the information of Soul Society, the number of special forms of large Hollows like Arrancar in Hueco Mundo should be very small. As a result, it seems that the information is wrong, and it is very wrong, and the strength of these Arrancars fluctuates too much.
But in this case, why didn't Soul Society receive any news before?
Logically speaking, the number of Arrancars that were sent to the real world this time was not small. Didn't the expedition sent by Soul Society to Hueco Mundo find any similar intelligence in the past?
These are all problems. Kyoraku Shunsui did not rashly choose to pursue Stark, but planned to discuss these problems with the captain-general after returning to Soul Society.
However, what Kyoraku Shunsui did not know was that while they were still fighting with the group of Arrancars led by Stark in the real world, the situation in Soul Society was far more tragic than theirs.
The captain of the 6th Division, Kuchiki Sojun, died in battle, the captain of the 10th Division died in battle, and the captain of the 12th Division, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, was trapped in his own team house and had no way to come out to support.
The captain of the 4th Division, Unohana Retsu, actively treated the wounded and had no intention of fighting.
And the captain of the 9th Division, Tosen Kaname, was seriously injured and unable to fight again.
This is all the reports presented to the captain-general Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni within just one hour after Bylergan led his army of hollows to attack the Soul Society.
As a scientific researcher, it is understandable that Mayuri Kurotsuchi was trapped and could not fight. The strength of the 9th Division's Tosen Kaname is indeed not outstanding among the captains, which is probably the characteristic of the 9th Division, so Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni can understand that he was seriously injured.
But you, Unohana Retsu, are also pretending to concentrate on treating the wounded, as if you are not good at fighting. Who are you fooling?
Forget it, forget it. Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni can do nothing when he thinks of Unohana Retsu's character.
It's good enough that Unohana Retsu is willing to treat the wounded. Otherwise, she can just sit in her own 4th Division's barn and ignore what's happening outside.
"Have you sent a message to the captain in the present world?"
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni asked the vice-captain, Suzuho Chojiro, who was in front of him.
"It has been sent. Captain Ichimaru Gin said that they are also in a very difficult situation and cannot get away for a while. Captain Kyoraku Shunsui has not responded, but according to the reaction of the members of the nearby 13th Division, the situation on Captain Kyoraku's side is probably also very tense."
"I know, Chojiro, it seems that I have to trouble you this time."
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni stood up and said with a serious face.
Although he has always believed that he is the last resort of the Soul Society, he really doesn't want to take action unless it is absolutely necessary.
Because even if he is only Shikai, it will cause great damage to the environment of the Soul Society, not to mention Bankai, and it is even possible to destroy the entire Soul Society.
Just looking at the situation today, it seems that he has no better choice.
At the same time, almost the same report was placed in front of Tsunayashiro Kamiyahara. His face was livid, "Haven't you contacted Higashino Hideichi yet?!"
The Shinigami who was questioned by him was sweating profusely, "My Lord, I have contacted him, but..."
"But what!"
Tsunayashiro Kamiyahara now wanted to kill this Shinigami, and he had to speak so slowly at this time.
"But the Great Sword Hunter only left a sentence that he would deal with it, and then lost contact again"
The Shinigami replied in fear.
"He will deal with it? Does he know what he is going to deal with?!"
Sure enough, Tsunayashiro Kamiyahara was angry.
What is the situation in the Soul Society now? Does Higashino Hideichi really know it!
Now the only captain who can fight in the Soul Society is Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni!
But there are so many hollows outside, what if they break into him? !
You know, Tsunayashiro Kamiyahara has basically never fought, he is just a flower stand with captain-level ability but no captain-level combat power.
If he fights those ordinary Hollows, he might be a little confident.
But look at the guy who came this time. He killed two legitimate captains in just a few encounters. Isn't killing him as easy as drinking water? !
At this time, Higashino Hideichi, who had just returned from Hueco Mundo, had come to the side of Aizen Sosuke. Looking at the corpse of the captain of the 10th Division, who was wearing the captain's haori and whom he had no impression of, beside Aizen, Higashino Hideichi found that he could not understand Aizen.
This was really unlike Aizen's current style.
"Lord Aizen, it seems that you did not reveal any information to me about your plan this time."
Higashino Hideichi looked at Aizen, with a little questioning in his tone.
"Well, because it was a spur of the moment."
Aizen said lightly, as if he had just done something insignificant.
"Just a spur of the moment? But why do I feel that you have invested almost all of your assets in Hueco Mundo this time?"
Higashino Hideichi believed what Aizen said, because Aizen had no need to lie to him, but the more so, the more puzzling it was.
"Because after you told me about the idea of Tsunayashiro Tokinada, I thought about it carefully. Although I don't care about the Lord of Hueco Mundo, Hueco Mundo is my territory. If he wants to get involved, forget it."
As Aizen said this, he saw Higashino Hideichi's eyes looking around, and then said,
"Don't look, the surveillance points of the Video Bureau nearby have been wiped out by me."
"But this shouldn't be your fundamental intention, Lord Aizen? A mere Tsunayashiro Tokinada, you shouldn't go to such great lengths for him."
If the current Tsunayashiro Tokinada is the Tsunayashiro Tokinada after the bloody battle in the original plot, then perhaps Aizen's mobilization of troops is understandable, but unfortunately it is not, so Higashino Hideichi never believes that Aizen will make such a large-scale move for Tsunayashiro Tokinada, who is now just a jumping clown.
In Higashino Hideichi's eyes, Aizen is almost going to use up all the assets he has accumulated in Hueco Mundo.
"Of course, but it is undeniable that this is indeed the direct reason for my impromptu plan.
It's just that this plan was brewed a long time ago, so it was not too hasty to execute it."
"So, what is your purpose this time, Lord Aizen?"
"Shuichi, let me ask you, do you think that if the Shiba family, one of the five nobles, who was not well-received to begin with, dies of all their high-end combat power and almost all their clansmen, will they be expelled from the five nobles?"
Aizen turned his back to Higashino Shuichi, looked at the burning red sky in the distance, and said softly.
Hearing this, Higashino Shuichi took a breath of cold air uncontrollably.
He probably guessed what Aizen was thinking.
"Lord Aizen, do you want to get the key to the Soul King Palace from the Shiba family?"
The Shiba family, one of the five noble families, has the technology to go to the Soul King Palace. This may be a secret to other Shinigami, but it is not a secret at all to Aizen Sosuke, who has entered the Great Soul Book Corridor in advance because of Higashino Hideichi.
Higashino Hideichi knew that Aizen had tried to use the mirror flower and water moon to get the technology to go to the Soul King Palace from the Shiba family before, but unfortunately, the only woman who mastered the technology to go to the Soul King Palace at that time, Shiba Kūkaku, did not buy Aizen's tricks at all.
Aizen was strictly guarded against and almost exposed Aizen's mirror flower and water moon.
This dispelled Aizen's idea of continuing to test.
Higashino Hideichi originally thought that Aizen had given up, but he didn't expect that Aizen was just secretly preparing a big one behind the scenes.
Indeed, after making Shiba Kūkaku's family destroyed, it would be too good to brush his favor in front of him at this time.
Even without using the mirror flower and water moon, Higashino Hideichi estimated that with Aizen's ability, the favorability value would definitely be directly maxed out.
"It is not necessary to get the key, as long as you know what kind of existence the Soul King Palace is, where exactly that place is, and in what space, it doesn't matter if you don't have the key."
Aizen said undeniably.
The implication is that as long as you know the specific coordinates of the Soul King Palace, Aizen can build it himself.
If someone else said this, Higashino Hideichi might still sneer, but Aizen said
"I know, Lord Aizen, so there is no need for me to take action. I will go and protect Tsunayashiro Kanhara and make sure that he can expel the Shiba family from the list of the five great nobles after this incident."
Knowing Aizen's true intention, Higashino Hideichi also knew what he should do next.
Obviously, the job of saving the beauty should be left to Aizen to improve his favor. Aizen killed the captain of the 10th Division here, probably to ensure that the Arrancars of Bylergan can kill all the people of the Shiba family before Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni reacts and officially joins the war.
So in Higashino Hideichi's opinion, he should not have any role in today's incident.
Fortunately, although he is now in the organization of the 13th Gotei Division, he is not under the control of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, so he does not care about the Arrancars of Bylergan, but concentrates on protecting Tsunayashiro Kamiyahara. To some extent, it can be regarded as his loyalty to duty. Afterwards, Tsunayashiro Kamiyahara will probably give him a great credit.
But what Aizen said next changed the whole situation.
"No, Shuichi, you have to save Shiba Kukaku, who has mastered the technology to go to the Soul King Palace, because I am now dealing with the troubles caused by your good friend Kurotsuchi Mayuri in the real world with Ichimaru Gin, and I cannot appear in Soul Society."
"Kutsuchi Mayuri?"
Higashino Shuichi was speechless. How many things happened in Soul Society that he didn't know about during his time in Hueco Mundo?
But thinking about it carefully, Kurotsuchi Mayuri did nothing wrong, because at this point in time, it was indeed what they had said before, the right time, the right place, and the right people.
Aizen smiled, and his eyes moved from the fiery red sky to an Arrancar who was fighting with the Shinigami officers not far away.
"Besides, if I remember correctly, the ability you borrowed from Kisaragi Hidesuke is different from Kisaragi Hidesuke. Your ability is subject to your spiritual pressure, right?"
"Yes, Lord Aizen"
Hidetoshi Hidetoshi nodded slightly. He did tell Aizen about this.
"So, there is a chance for you to feast on those subordinates of Bylergan, but you really have no interest in Bylergan's Hollow Core?"
Hearing this, Hitotoshi Hidetoshi instantly became energetic.
"Lord Aizen, do you mean that I can kill Bylergan here?"
