Chapter 175 173 A Short and Not Glorious Life
Chapter 175 173. A short and not glorious life
On the top of Fengliu Mountain, looking at the several Shinigami who broke out from below, Nellielu asked curiously,
"Don't you care about those Shinigami?"
Because she found that Ichimaru Gin, who had the overall dispatch power of this batch of Hollows coming to Soul Society, seemed indifferent to those Shinigami.
It was obvious that only a few Hollows could be transferred from other places to fill the gap in time.
"Why should I care? Don't forget, our goal this time is to kill the Shinigami named Shiba Kaiyan. It doesn't matter to us whether the other Shinigami live or die.
If you are so interested, you can go down by yourself."
Ichimaru Gin glanced at Nellielu and said.
"Forget it, I am not interested in them either."
When Nellielu heard that Ichimaru Gin wanted her to go down, she immediately refused.
If she had not become one of the Ten Espadas, she would have saved herself a lot of trouble in Hueco Mundo. Many Hollows would not choose to fight her as long as they saw the number on her body. Nelliel had no interest in becoming this so-called Ten Espadas.
On the other side, Harribel looked at Ichimaru Gin meaningfully, and was about to speak when a gap suddenly appeared on the spirit curtain that separated the entire Fengliu Mountain from the Soul Society.
It was a gap that was torn open from the outside.
"It seems that our prey has come to the door~"
Before the person who opened the gap showed up, Ichimaru Gin had already guessed the identity of this person.
Because in the current Soul Society, there are only two Shinigami who have the ability to find this space that has been separated from the Soul Society in such a short time and use brute force to open a gap in it.
One is called Aizen Sosuke, and the other is Higashino Hideichi, who has completely mastered the Hollowification.
Even if it is Mayuri Kurotsuchi of the 12th Division, it will take some time to confirm the coordinates of this space.
As the planner of this operation, Aizen Sosuke could not appear here in this way, so for Ichimaru Gin, the answer was obvious.
This is exactly the case. After the space was broken, the person who appeared in front of Ichimaru Gin and others was Higashino Hideichi, whose whole body was completely hollow.
Higashino Hideichi could not have rushed here after receiving the distress message from Shiba Kaien.
As the planner and initiator of this assessment mission, even if he left Soul Society for a short time because of Yushi Ou Xu, he should immediately return to Fengliu Mountain to continue the assessment, otherwise it would be easy for people to suspect that he had something to hide.
Therefore, it is reasonable for Higashino Hideichi to discover the abnormal situation so quickly.
Of course, this is only the superficial reason. The deeper reason is that the appearance of the Ni Gu Cai Zang caused Higashino Hideichi to contact Aizen Sosuke urgently.
Killing Shiba Kaien can be done at any time, but not now.
Otherwise, once the forces behind Nigumo Saizou, which are still in the mist, take action, the situation of the entire Soul Society will become even more confusing.
Aizen also expressed his approval of Higashino Hideichi's judgment.
Because what he wants is always a complete Soul Society, not a broken Soul Society.
What he wants is to change this world, not to destroy it.
So when an unknown enemy appears, Aizen is willing to suspend his plan.
Otherwise, the death of Shiba Kaien will inevitably bring a big earthquake to the Soul Society, and may even trigger a major action against Hueco Mundo.
If it is done to the unknown enemy, it will be a joke.
But the order to suspend cannot be issued by Aizen.
Because the Nigumo Saizou incident has just happened, even the Gotei 13th Division and the Central 46th Office are still unaware of it. If Aizen stops for this reason, it will be difficult not to make Ichimaru Gin suspicious.
When Higashino Hideichi heard this ridiculous reason from Aizen, he didn't know how many times he complained about Aizen in his heart.
Makes you want to keep Ichimaru Gin to play tricks on him?
Now you are so cautious in doing things, why don't you deal with this trouble quickly?
Well, as Aizen's excellent entrepreneurial partner, Higashino Hideichi can only take on the responsibility of cleaning up Aizen's ass again.
So this is why Higashino Hideichi rushed over in a hurry after treating Yushi Ousu.
Fortunately, when Higashino Hideichi broke into this space, Shiba Kaiyan below seemed to be still talking nonsense with the newly-minted Tenth Blade, Aronillo Eluruyeli.
Praise for talking nonsense!
However, it was impossible for Higashino Hideichi to go down and rescue Shiba Kaiyan directly, because as soon as he came in, two Arrancars and that Ichimaru Gin had already surrounded him in a triangle near him.
"Ichimaru Gin, you are indeed involved with these Arrancars in Hueco Mundo! It's ridiculous that Yamamoto and Kyoraku Shunsui keep speaking well of you in front of me!"
Honestly speaking, when Higashino Shuichi learned from Aizen that he would have a surprise this time, did he think about what surprise Aizen would prepare for him?
But no matter how much he thought, he could not imagine that the surprise that Aizen mentioned would be this!
Ichimaru Gin actually appeared in front of him without any disguise!
What does this guy want to do?
It can't be that he really had a daydream and wanted to unite with Harribel and Nelliel, two Arrancars, to kill him here, right?
Higashino Hideichi felt that if Harribel was replaced by Stark, there might be a little chance, but with Ichimaru Gin and his current trio, aren't they really serving food to him?
However, although he was surprised in his heart, Higashino Hideichi still made an angry expression on the surface.
This is in line with his current personality.
"Yes, everything is just a trap set by Ichimaru Gin. You didn't expect it, Higashino Hideichi, in front of me, you are like a clown!
But don't worry, your life as a clown will end here!"
Ichimaru Gin stood opposite Higashino Hideichi, laughing arrogantly, and sentenced Higashino Hideichi to death.
Such abnormal behavior reminded Higashino Hideichi.
Did this guy say this on purpose?
Is he provoking me? Or is he calculating something?
Higashino Hideichi was still unclear, but relying on his own strong strength, Higashino Hideichi felt that he still had some capital to turn the tables.
Isn't it just to induce me to attack him?
So what if he fulfilled Ichimaru Gin's wish?
I just hope that Ichimaru Gin is ready to bear my anger!
"Hado Ninety-one, Thousand Hands Bright Sky Tai Cannon!"
Higashino Hideichi withdrew from the virtual state in one thought, and then the majestic spirit particles gathered in front of him, and a light ball formed in front of him, and then under the rapid rotation, countless rays of light shot out from the light ball, aiming directly at Harribel, Nelliel and Ichimaru Gin who surrounded Higashino Hideichi.
Because Higashino Hideichi's action was too fast, both Harribel and Nelliel were caught off guard, and the two could only be forced to rush to meet the attack.
Among them, Harribel was slightly better. As an Arrancar who had been recruited by Higashino Hideichi, the number of Thousand Hands Bright Sky Tai Cannon in her direction only looked bluffing, but in fact there were not many.
But Nelliel was different. The dense beams of light left more than a dozen holes on her body.
Fortunately, as the No. 3 of the Ten Espadas, Nelliel had unique attainments in healing, and she had also mastered the super-speed regeneration of the Great Hollow to perfection, so she was not killed by Higashino Hideichi on sight.
As for Ichimaru Gin, as the initiator of Higashino Hideichi's huge reaction, he had of course expected Higashino Hideichi's reaction, so all the spirit particle beams shot at him were defeated by him using his Zanpakutō ability, the Divine Gun, without exception.
However, when he used the Divine Gun to fight against Higashino Hideichi's Thousand Hands, the Sky-piercing Cannon, Higashino Hideichi was not a turn-based character that would be stiff for a period of time after releasing a skill. Then, the smoke produced by the explosion and the influence of the spiritual pressure fluctuations, Higashino Hideichi swung the sword that destroyed the world at Ichimaru Gin.
Fuzan!
It was not the Li Fuzan that was favored by Higashino Hideichi recently.
In the absence of conditions and space restrictions, it is obviously still the Yamamoto version of Fuzhan. This kind of super-large-scale slash formed by powerful spiritual pressure is easier to hit the enemy.
For Higashino Hideichi, the Li Fuzhan is actually more of a control effect.
The earth was torn apart, and the huge Fengliu Mountain was cut in half by Higashino Hideichi's slash at this moment.
It was also at this moment that the death gods who were still exhausted from escaping below finally discovered the space above that was blocked from sight and perception by Ichimaru Gin.
"It's Master Hideichi!"
"Teacher Hideichi!"
"Captain Hideichi?!"
Almost at the same time, the death gods below each exclaimed.
Looking at the shocking blow that almost swept up the Arrancar Aronilo Eluluyeli in front of him, the huge pressure that was originally shrouding Shiba Kaiyan disappeared instantly.
"You are finished, Aronilo. Our reinforcements of the God of Death have arrived. The wishful thinking of you Hollows will soon be shattered here!
Multiple Water Sky Tornado!"
Shiba Kaiyan waved the trident in his hand. Around his body, on the ground that had been covered with a layer of water by his ability, dozens of water tornadoes extending to the sky instantly rose. In each water tornado, there was a Hollow wrapped.
But just like the previous attack, Shiba Kaiyan's attack might have some effect on other Hollows, but for Aronilo, it was just a wave of his arm to offset it.
"The thundering chariot, the cracks in the spinning wheel, this thing has light."
It's just that this time, because of the arrival of Higashino Hideichi, Shiba Haiyan no longer needs to consider the issue of attacking Aronillo. He only needs to control Aronillo and wait for Higashino Hideichi to come and harvest!
This is the strategy generally adopted by their 13th Division when facing strong enemies in the real world.
After all, it is easier for them, the God of Death, to just restrict but not kill the enemy.
But what Shiba Haiyan didn't expect was that the chanting of the six-stick light prison on his side had not yet ended, but the target had been lost.
Aronillo actually gave up on him and rushed towards Higashino Hideichi in the sky.
"Higashino Hideichi, you killed my predecessor Atredis, right? Haha, let me fulfill Atredis's regret!"
As soon as Aroniello saw Higashino Shuichi appear, he immediately went crazy.
Even Harribel in the air frowned unconsciously when he saw this scene.
Why is this Aroniello so wrong?
Didn't he listen to the orders given to him by Aizen?
Did Aroniello forget that his only mission was to kill Shiba Kaiyan?
Among all the people present, only Ichimaru Gin, who was embarrassed to take Higashino Shuichi's Fusai and almost lost half his life, showed a smug smile at the corner of his mouth.
Aizen didn't implant any obedient device in the Arrancar. Even if Aizen was one of the creators of Aroniello, how could he be against Ichimaru Gin himself who had been instilling ideas in Aroniello's ears since his birth?
Yes, Aroniello is also one of Ichimaru Gin's trump cards.
Knowing that he is definitely not Higashino Shuichi's opponent, how could he hope that Harribel and Nelliel, two unreliable Arrancars, could help him resist Higashino Shuichi's attack?
Gin Ichimaru kept praising Higashino Hideichi in front of Aronilo, and how it was a pity that Aronilo's predecessor Atreides almost killed Higashino Hideichi, hoping to arouse Aronilo's desire to win against Higashino Hideichi.
The fact was just as Gin Ichimaru expected. This new Arrancar was no different from a child in terms of mentality.
As Aronilo flew towards Higashino Hideichi, he opened his chest, revealing the densely packed test tubes inside.
"I have all your materials! Higashino Hideichi, kneel down in front of me!
Wumang!"
As Aronilo's voice fell, a test tube in his body broke, and countless spiritual pressures rushed to Higashino Hideichi from all directions in this space covered by the black cavity.
In an instant, Higashino Hideichi found that he began to fall uncontrollably from the air.
All his death god power was offset by Aronilo's ability, and even if he wanted to use spiritual pressure to keep himself in the air, he couldn't do it.
Because in Aronilo's material library, he also recorded this as one of his Shinigami abilities.
Originally, with Higashino Hideichi's current spiritual pressure, this Aronilo could not completely offset his spiritual pressure like the Atreides in the past, because Aronilo's spiritual pressure was not as good as Higashino Hideichi's current one.
However, inspired by Bylergan's use of the Kuraya Palace last time, Sar Apollo pioneered a new technology on Aronilo this time.
That is, the spiritual power created by the black cavity created and maintained by the other Hollows in this closed space was all lent to one of the hollows, so as to achieve the effect of helping it to break the rules in a short period of time.
And this time, the hollow that enjoyed this treatment was undoubtedly Aronilo.
This is also the main reason why Aronilo dared to charge Higashino Hideichi.
In a word, the advantage is on him!
And after erasing the Shinigami spiritual pressure in advance, Higashino Hideichi wanted to use the Bankai ability like he did before to get rid of Atreides, but he couldn't do it.
Looking at Tono Hideichi falling from the sky, Aronilor laughed wildly. This was the ultimate move for Tono Hideichi that the death god named Ichimaru Gin told him. It really worked.
At the same time, Harribel also looked serious.
"Conquer him, Queen of the Sharks!"
She returned the blade without hesitation, and her target was certainly not Tono Hideichi.
Although she knew that if she betrayed here, Aizen and Stark might not let her go.
But she still did not hesitate.
That Aronilor must die!
It's just that someone's action was faster than her.
A red flash passed through the air, and in the stunned expression of Aronilor, it penetrated half of his body, and countless unknown liquids were scattered to the ground in disorder at this moment.
"Hehe."
In the distance, Gin Ichimaru, who was watching all this, turned around and a circle of white bandages appeared around him.
"There is something I forgot to tell you, Aronilo. Tono Hideichi not only possesses the power of the god of death, but his Hollow form is not weaker than the god of death at all."
Do you really think that when Gin Ichimaru came over, he isolated the space above from the space below in order to prevent himself from being discovered by the god of death below?
He just knew that Tono Hideichi would definitely break in as a Hollow after discovering that Tono Hideichi was not there, and he didn't want Tono Hideichi's form to be known by Aronilo.
At this moment, Tono Hideichi, who was completely hollowed out and armed with skeleton armor, stood in the air again like an emperor.
"Atlantis had the help of Bylergan to trick me once, but you are worthy of it?"
Tono Hideichi looked at Aronilo in the distance, with restrained anger in his eyes.
Because there were two Arrancars around, and an unknown Ichimaru Gin who was hiding some moves, he knew that he couldn't let negative emotions affect his judgment, but in his eyes, Aronil was already a dead Hollow.
However, just when Higashino Shuichi thought that he would have to fight with Nelliel and Ichimaru Gin, and put on a good show with Harribel, Nelliel became the first to flee without saying a word.
Her action stunned Harribel.
But Nelliel also has her own logic. From her perspective, Aronillo has given up his mission goal and was beaten by Higashino Hideichi one by one. So it is definitely impossible to expect him to complete the mission assigned by Aizen to kill Shiba Kaiyan.
Her own mission is to stop Higashino Hideichi and buy time and space for Aronillo to kill Shiba Kaiyan.
Now, the latter result is obviously not achievable, so it is meaningless for her to insist on the former condition.
So she is not running away, but a strategic retreat!
Even if Aizen wants to blame him afterwards, it should be blamed on Aronillo for not completing his mission well.
Of course, from the current situation, Nelliel thinks it is a question whether Aronillo can return to Hueco Mundo.
Anyway, Nelliel thinks this logic is perfect!
After Nelliel became the first deserter, Aronillo desperately cast his eyes on Harribel. He knew that only Harribel could take him back now.
But what made Aronillo even more desperate was what he saw? ! !
Harribel, the second of the Ten Espadas of Hueco Mundo, actually looked at Higashino Hideichi with affection, and then, at the latter's slight nod, she followed Nelliel back to Hueco Mundo.
She didn't even make a tentative attack.
"So, I was abandoned?"
Aronilo finally discovered a reality tragically.
In fact, after Higashino Hideichi discovered that Ichimaru Gin's spiritual pressure disappeared from this space, Higashino Hideichi also figured out what Ichimaru Gin was thinking.
In short, this Aronilo was just a tragic victim pushed out in the three-party planning and game between Higashino Hideichi, Aizen Sosuke and Ichimaru Gin.
"Your death is not unjust~"
Using instant step to come in front of Aronilo, Higashino Hideichi sent his Zanpakutō into his body, thus ending Aronilo's short and not glorious life.
