Chapter 391: Gate of Hell

After becoming an Achukas, the Death Plague loses its ability to spread, and other Achukas will not be infected if devoured. If they die through conventional means, the Death Plague will not break out, but will completely lose its effectiveness.

Although there are many restrictions, Gu Qiusha's main target is not those evolved Achukas, but simply the Killian in the Great Hollow Forest.

In fact, many Achukas died in successive wars, and a group of them were killed by Aizen as the Hogyoku. Now the number of Achukas in Hueco Mundo is not as many as before.

But the dense group of Hollows in the Great Hollow Forest is almost all infected with this plague.

At this time, under the guidance of Gu Qiusha's Death Compass, the number of Great Hollow souls in the entire Hueco Mundo was reduced by nearly half!

This level of spiritual pressure disappearance can be called destructive level, causing the entire Hueco Mundo to be in turmoil. Even if Harribel and others activated the back-up plan left by Aizen to deal with Kenpachi Zaraki before, it was difficult to stabilize.

Is Gu Qiusha's real purpose to destroy Hueco Mundo?

Of course not, this is just the prelude to the opening of the big show.

Destroying Hueco Mundo does not benefit him in any way. Killing the Hollow with the Death Plague will not give him a treasure chest, and even the side quest of seizing attribute points cannot be settled.

He did this just to effectively disrupt the order of the three realms and contain all the masters in this world.

More than two months ago, Soul Singer and Kenpachi Zaraki entered Hueco Mundo. He was very tempted at the time and wanted to take this opportunity to kill the two pioneers in one fell swoop.

Originally, it was a good environment for a decisive battle. After all, there was a big battle in the Soul Society and the captain was also sealed. It was a perfect time to take action.

But he weighed his own strength and felt that it was too unrealistic, so he could only give up regretfully.

But now that he has mastered new power and is confident of harvesting, then eliminating the threat from the top of this world has become the primary goal.

He didn't need to care about those guys in the Zero Squad who were so high and mighty that they would not go out unless the Soul King was threatened, but Captain-General Yamamoto was an existence that could not be dealt with by the fourth-level or even fifth-level explorers, so he had to consider sending him away.

So he had the plan in front of him.

The turmoil in Hueco Mundo was only the first step, and he was equivalent to completely destroying the Hollows with the means of the Quincy. This would not only cause turmoil in Hueco Mundo, but the disappearance of a large amount of spiritual pressure, combined with the ritual he had just completed, would inevitably lead to another result.

That was... the opening of the gate of hell.

Click--clatter--

The heavy sound of the door opening rang out, and the sound of the chain colliding on the steel door made people tremble in their hearts.

I saw a huge door with skulls embedded on both sides, opening between heaven and earth, and an ominous breath leaked out from the crack of the door.

As Gu Qiusha expected, there was another fundamental reason why the Soul King created the three realms, which was to resist the expansion of hell.

Now a large amount of spiritual pressure in the Hueco Mundo has disappeared, and many captain-level masters have died in the previous war. Now the spiritual pressure here can no longer suppress the gate of hell.

Half of the Hollows in the entire Hollow Forest were destroyed, and many Achucas were killed. This is a devastating blow to the balance of the three realms.

The gate of hell opened, and the ominous evil spiritual pressure rushed into the real world, directly eroding the land here into a blood-red.

At this time, in the Soul Society, the hell butterflies carried by the death gods danced one by one, and were extremely active.

In the technical development department of the 12th Division, the room monitoring the real world was frantically alarmed, and the screen was all red.

The soldiers in charge of observation frantically transmitted information to remind everyone in the Soul Society.

For the masters, there was actually no need for their reminders. In the trial venue of the Central 46th Room, Captain Yamamoto was the first to notice something wrong.

He felt the tremor of the world, which was a manifestation of the impact on the bottom of the three realms.

Bang——

The door of the venue was opened rashly. The Gotei Corps soldier in charge of the message was panting and terrified. "Squad 12 monitoring report, the gate of hell in Kabukicho is completely open!"

The captains present, including the sages of the 46th Chamber, were shocked when they heard it.

They all knew that the gate of hell would open. When the god of death killed a very evil Hollow, or when a person who had committed a very evil crime in his life died, his soul would be pulled into the gate of hell.

But in that case, the gate of hell usually only opened a small gap, and the chain pulled the soul into it, and it would not open completely.

And the gate of hell would be completely open, which was an obvious manifestation of the imbalance of the three realms. If hell began to erode reality, it meant that the three realms might collapse.

In this situation, neither the trial nor the commendation meeting could be held. The sages of the 46th Chamber also lost their composure, "Hurry to the real world to deal with it!"

Tsunayashiro Tokinada also frowned slightly. He liked interesting things, but he didn't want to see the destruction of the Three Realms. He also wanted to carry out the evil of his family to the end and create a new Soul King to control absolute power.

If the Three Realms were destroyed because of the expansion of Hell, wouldn't he never be able to enjoy pleasure again?

Although there was no evidence, he instinctively felt that this matter was caused by the mysterious Gu Qiusha, otherwise the Three Realms were fine, how could they suddenly be eroded by Hell.

In the jury box, the captain stood up first, "The meeting is terminated, all the Gotei 13 listen to my order, follow me to the real world, in this operation, the spiritual pressure restrictions are lifted!"

Usually, when captain-level Shinigami go to the living world, they have to limit their spiritual pressure, otherwise it is easy to cause damage to the living world, but this time the situation is urgent and special.

They must go all out, and it is best to use strong spiritual pressure to maintain balance and close the gate of hell.

In the central trial area, Lu Li and Aizen also looked serious, and they were not pretending.

Soul Society is fine now, and there are no high spiritual pressure creatures in the living world. So the only possibility for this situation now is that a large number of souls in Hueco Mundo have been destroyed.

This may mean that when the two of them were judged here, their nest was stolen in the back.

Aizen was better, but Lu Li was a little worried about the situation of his companions in the Hueco Palace.

At this time, the captain-in-chief spoke, and all the captains became serious, ready to go, and ordered their anxious troops to go to the living world.

…………

The situation was urgent, and the Gotei 13 responded extremely quickly, but it took several minutes to organize the troops and rush to the living world.

Except for those squads that have not yet had new captains to take office and reorganize, all the Gotei teams with complete combat power are present.

After arriving in the real world, everyone was stunned when they saw the gate of hell that penetrated the sky and the earth.

Because as death gods, they had seen the gate of hell several times, but in their impression, the gate of hell was much smaller than this.

If you don't look at the gate of hell from a distance, you can't see the whole picture at all. It seems that the top reaches the stars.

Just when the gate of hell opened, the creatures within a radius of hundreds of kilometers fell into deathly silence. The powerful and ominous spiritual pressure was enough to take the life of ordinary people.

On the shrine on the top of the mountain, Gu Qiusha had just completed the last step of the ceremony and turned to look at the death god who walked out of the gate of the world.

"You are really fast, but I have done everything I wanted to do."

He said with a smile.

As long as you kill a hollow or evil spirit in front of the grave of the deceased, or through an object with the spiritual pressure of the deceased, you can send his soul to hell in the soul burial ceremony.

He determined the coordinates of the opening of the gate of hell through this ritual. Otherwise, if the three realms were unstable, the gate of hell could open anywhere, which would not meet his needs.

At this time, evil spirits had already rushed out of the gate of hell, most of them were powerful hollows in their lifetime, because the existence of human souls falling into hell is often not too strong.

After the hollows die and fall into hell, the hollow holes on their bodies will disappear and turn into external holes.

So how many powerful hollows have died in history? No one can tell.

After all, the three realms have been established for a million years, but the Gotei 13 has only been established for more than a thousand years. Captain Yamamoto, with thousands of years of experience, dare not say that he knows all the history of the Soul Society.

At this time, the gate of hell is open, and the trigger set by Gu Qiusha is equivalent to setting the coordinates for these vicious hollows, giving them the opportunity to return to the world.

In hell, no matter what kind of soul it is, it will be eternally fought and devoured, and will be reborn after death, starting a new round of torture.

Unless they have a particularly abnormal personality, they generally cannot tolerate this repetitive cycle of fighting and devouring. If they have the opportunity to return to the Three Realms and escape from hell, they will never let it go.

At this moment, the captains in the air saw the evil spirits rushing out of the gate of hell, and their faces changed, because they could see that many of them were at the level of Achucas in their previous lives, and after being tempered by blood in hell, they became even stronger.

The holes of these hollows disappeared and twisted into external rings. Some of the masks on their heads turned into the shape of goat horns symbolizing the devils of hell, and some were even stranger horns.

The most bizarre thing is that they can't even sense the spiritual pressure of these evil spirits. This is really too unaccustomed for the death gods who usually rely on spiritual pressure perception to fight.

"Don't panic, they are just some defeated generals who were buried in hell by us. Just kill them again."

Captain Yamamoto stepped forward, the scepter ignited with flames, and the flowing blade was unsheathed. The powerful spiritual pressure immediately suppressed the whole world.

It was also the first time that Lu Li saw Captain Yamamoto release his spiritual pressure without reservation. Even if the Captain's suppression was not directed at them, he instinctively felt a sense of suffocation. That kind of power was completely different from his own.

Seeing the Captain so calm and the power he displayed was so strong, the other captains also felt relieved and waited for instructions.

"Ukitake, Shunsui, you two will build a barrier with me to suppress and close the gate of hell."

Captain Yamamoto is indeed a veteran. He can remain calm in such a critical situation and give the correct instructions. "Yoichi, you lead the secret maneuver to block the surrounding area to prevent any evil spirits from rushing out of this area."

"Mako, Kensei, you two will lead the team members to provide support on the field."

"Rie, you are responsible for treating the wounded. When necessary, you are allowed to take action."

"Kiryu, you are responsible for stabilizing the spirits of the barrier."

"Lu Li..."

The captain finally called Lu Li, "Clear all the evil spirits and kill the thief leader!"

As the captain of the 11th Division, Lu Li is the leader of the combat ace team of the Gotei 13. He was not surprised to be assigned this task in such an occasion, and it was also what he wanted.

"Captain, can I chop as I please?"

Kenpachi Zaraki followed Lu Li, grinning with a ferocious smile. He couldn't wait to start fighting.

What the captain said was indeed right. After holding it in for a while, there really was a big battle waiting for him.

"Go ahead and chop, but don't be careless. These evil spirits cannot sense with spiritual pressure. Don't be affected by your usual habits."

Lu Li's words were a reminder not only to Zaraki Kenpachi, but also to the other captains.

After going to hell, both Hollow and Death Captain seem to become stronger, but the most troublesome thing is not their improved values, but that their mechanisms do not conform to Death's regular combat habits.

No matter how high or low their spiritual pressure is, they don't seem to show it. In other words, after going to hell, their form is no longer that of a spirit child.

Lu Li had read some setting collections about the world of Death in space, and one of the narratives caught his attention.

That's about Hollow's Hidden Technique. Kyon's Hidden Technique is completely different from the Shinigami's Shunpo, which relies on muscle power, and it's also different from the Quincy's Flying Legs that control the movement of spirit children.

In the original work, Xu's sound is described as being able to avoid the God of Death's detection nerve. This is a very troublesome skill, and it is also one of the reasons why Xu can kill powerful enemies for the first time on certain occasions.

So why is Xiangzhuan able to do this? The reason is that when Xu activates Xiangzhuan, he actually transforms the spirit in his body into something that is not a spirit.

Some comments in the space speculated that this 'thing that is not a spirit child' is the third type of energy in the world of death, which is the energy system of the creatures in hell.

Therefore, this kind of energy cannot be sensed using the spiritual pressure system. Conventional Shinigami can only use their naked eyes to see the movements of hell ghosts in battle, otherwise they will be lost.

Of course, because the system is different, so being unable to sense their spiritual pressure certainly does not mean that the spiritual pressure of these evil ghosts is far higher than theirs. It is simply because they are not made of spirit sons that they cannot sense spiritual pressure.

After Lu Li reminded Zaraki Kenpachi, he couldn't wait to rush to the battlefield. He took off his sword and cut off the heads of the two evil spirits with one blow.

Zaragi was also laughing wildly, holding a Zanpakutō full of serrated teeth, and charged directly into the group of evil ghosts. He did not follow Lu Li's instructions, and still held the sword with one hand, but he cut down these evil ghosts one by one.

The members of Division 11 who were following Lu Li and Kenpachi Zaraki saw that the captain and vice-captain were so brave, so they were no longer afraid and looked for targets who looked weaker.

Gu Qiusha stood in front of the shrine. He didn't panic when he saw Lu Li coming towards him. He had been preparing for a long time and the scene in front of him was all in his plan. Of course he was very calm.
