Chapter 283 282: This Is Not the Way to Enter
The Soul King Palace is much wider than imagined.
In the comics, there is no in-depth description of this type of scene.
However, only by witnessing it with your own eyes can you know its grandeur and magnificence... Arima Shizuka also stayed in the air, just looking at this most symbolic building in the Three Realms.
It was not until a few breaths later that he came back to his senses.
Wang Yue, who was beside him, looked at him with a smile, and did not urge him.
"Sorry... I accidentally got lost in it."
"It's okay, there is plenty of time, you can look at it for a while if you want. But..."
It's better to hurry up.
After all, at the entrance of the Soul King Palace, there has been a person waiting for a long time.
He was an adult man with an unusually tall stature.
Bald head, big eyes.
He had very thick eyebrows and a beard to his chest, and a wide nose. He was wearing a familiar pure white feather knitting and folded his hands in front of his chest.
Just standing there, the whole person was as thick and solid as a city wall.
However, the image is only the most secondary thing. The most important thing is the feeling that the other party gives to Arima Shizuya.
——Very strong.
Unlike the four generals who just met not long ago, after seeing the monk with his own eyes, Arima Shizuya can clearly feel the threat he perceives from the other party.
Perhaps the aftereffects of the Zanpakutō are still in his heart. Arima Shizuya can only feel that others are "difficult" or "tricky".
But in this man, he can feel the clear "danger".
There is also a gap in strength between the members of the Zero Division.
Arima Shizuya fell down, and Nimaiya Wang Yue stood behind him, watching the other party slowly walk forward.
Until he stood in front of the monk with eyes.
Hey.
The big monk with bright red eyes turned up his lips and showed an extremely generous smile.
"Finally here, Arima Shizuya!"
The hearty and high-pitched tone was as refreshing as meeting an old friend who had not seen him for a long time.
It's just a pity that Arima Shizuka was not as happy as the other party.
"This should be the first time we meet, right? Hyoshubu Ichibei."
Calling him by his name.
But it did not cause the other party any displeasure.
The guy with a broad stature and a seemingly cheerful mood grinned and just laughed.
"It's really like that! Ahaha, I'm a little confused. I can even forget these things. I'm really careless!"
Raising his hand and patting his forehead, this guy's voice is as refreshing and loud as ever.
"My name is Hyoshubu Ichibei! As you can see, I am the leader of the Royal Secret Service Zero Squad. I am currently in charge of all affairs of the Spirit King Palace. If you have any questions, just talk to me!"
Of course.
"Whether you want to explain it clearly depends on my mood, hahaha!"
This guy's personality is a little weird.
But I can't tell where this sense of disharmony comes from...
Arima Shizuka also glanced at the other party. Although she was not distracted by the infectious voice, she thought for a moment.
Then she looked up and said softly.
"Are you the one who tampered with my Zanpakuto before?"
Hyoshubu Ichibei nodded readily.
"Yes!"
It's not something that needs to be concealed.
Now that I've opened my mouth, I might as well confess it!
"I think your ability is quite tricky and may cause some unnecessary changes, so I took the initiative to ban your ability."
-Although I had been mentally prepared before, it was somewhat unpleasant to hear it now.
This characteristic is reflected in Aizen Sosuke.
His expression did not change, but Aizen Sosuke was somewhat wary of this monk who came from an unknown place but was full of nonsense.
"Then why do we need to remove the blockade on Shizuya-kun?"
"Of course it is the will of the Soul King."
Speaking bluntly is also a strategy.
It can be seen that the two people present were somewhat uncomfortable with Hyoshubu Ichibei's direct words.
Arima Shizuya even repeated the other party's words.
"The Soul King's...will?"
"Yes, and this is why we chose to let you meet here."
Hyoshubu Ichibei's smile faded, and with a height that was more than a head taller than Arima Shizuya, he looked down at the other party.
The tone was so flat that it did not carry the slightest emotional color.
"To be honest, after learning that you had indeed defected from Soul Society, we immediately contacted the Gotei 13."
"We certainly played a part in rebuilding the Soul Society, but you who are active in Hueco Mundo certainly don't know about it."
"And according to the original plan, we wanted to join forces to kill you to eliminate future troubles."
Faced with such frank words, Arima Shizuka also pondered for a moment, with a slightly complicated expression on her face.
Said honestly.
This situation is unexpected, but reasonable.
After all, his Zanpakutō was targeted by the monk, and he completely dismantled the Soul Society...If the Zero Division is unmoved, there must be something wrong.
And the current 'crux' lies here.
The sudden change of mind of the Zero Squad also caused the direction of the fake Karakura Town Battle to be completely "out of control".
"Did the Soul King change your mind?"
"That's right."
Ichibeihan of Hyoshubu turned his head and looked at the wide corridor behind him.
"As the Soul King's caretaker, I haven't been able to listen to the orders issued by the Soul King himself for a long time...but the Soul King did this for you."
"Arima Shizuya, the power contained in you is indeed extraordinary."
"Given time, you will definitely be able to stir up the three realms with your own power."
However, it was not at this moment.
"Let's go, follow me to the Soul King's presence, see it with your own eyes, and listen to his voice."
"Wait a moment... let me ask for the time being."
Arima Shizuya stared at the bright red pupils of the monk and spoke word by word.
"What if I say I don't want to see you?"
"Ahaha, that's a bit troubling~ After all, Lord Soul King finally gave me an order. If I can't act according to it, I will feel ashamed."
Therefore.
"Please don't let me fall into such a disloyal and unjust situation."
Bowed deeply to Arima Shizuya, Hyoshubu Ichibei stood up and smiled again.
"Then please come with me."
No mistake, one sentence, one content, one book, one bar!
Hyoshubu Ichibei turned around and strode away. His figure did not show any hesitation, as if he didn't care whether the person behind him would suddenly attack him...
This calmness made Arima Shizuya's expression slightly moved.
He did not respond immediately, but stared behind him.
Aizome Sosuke stood outside the high platform, standing side by side with the four gods, and just smiled and nodded at this moment.
Since that's the case, there's no point in saying more.
"Be careful, Shizuya-kun."
"Then I'll be back soon, Aizen-sensei."
The two of them showed a trend of one after the other, and they drove straight in and soon disappeared in front of the Soul King Palace.
Only Aizen and the four gods were left standing in the field, quietly waiting for the result in the Soul King Palace.
The atmosphere was a little stiff.
Aizen Sosuke looked around at this moment, and there was a hint of playfulness in his tone.
"What's wrong? Do you want to attack directly here by surrounding me like this?"
Kirinji Tenshiro sneered disdainfully.
"I don't bother to sneak attack with a guy like you."
Although Hikifune Kiryu maintained a smiling expression, his tone was not kind either.
"Hiyori was bullied by you."
Shutara Senjumaru maintained his indifferent attitude, as if he didn't want to have anything to do with Aizen.
"Although you are researchers, everything you do is of inferior quality."
The last player, Nimaiya Ouyue, made a rap-like gesture and said as if jokingly.
"I don't want to communicate too much with a guy like you who doesn't want to look directly into your heart~"
The four people picked on him one by one and complained about him.
Aizen Sosuke was not moved at all. He just smiled and turned his head back, and said in a calm tone.
"I see, the so-called four gods are just outsiders who are obsessed with small things."
"I spent a lot of effort before and rehearsed the situation of confronting you several times."
"Now it seems that it may be just my worrying."
Facing such an opponent with such a mentality, why bother?
It can only be said that in terms of talking nonsense and messing with people's mentality, the strength of the prison master is indeed cliff-like.
This is why the four generals are already feeling a little unhappy.
The more irritable Kirinji Tenshiro raised his eyebrows directly, and took two steps forward to stand in front of Aizen.
The appearance of the airplane head looks really fierce.
"You mean, even if the opponent is us, you don't need to use all your strength?!"
Aizen's smile did not diminish at all.
"Maybe if four of us come together, you can feel a little pressure."
Four broken in one second.
Kirinji Tenshiro's head had obvious blue veins, and he was ready to take action with gritted teeth.
"Stop, Kirinji."
Ermeiwu Wang Yue put one hand on the other's shoulder, and gently adjusted his glasses with the other hand, saying in a calm tone.
"This is in front of the King of Soul. If you act without permission, you will be held accountable."
"But what this guy said is too..."
"Just wait a little while."
Ermeiwu Wangyue repeated.
"Just wait a little while longer, it will be fine."
Wait until the matter in the Palace of the King of Soul is over.
After everything is settled, it will not be too late to make a choice.
On the other side, after leading Arima Shizuya into the Palace of the King of Soul, the light around him began to gradually fade.
Instead...
The stone road under his feet began to shine.
"Arima Shizuya, please step in before meeting the King of Soul."
Ichibei of the Hyoshubu stepped aside and made room for people to pass through.
And in front of him.
It was a long path.
The roads on both sides were covered with pebbles, grass, and trees.
The drizzle of rain fell from the sky without anyone noticing, soaking the clothes.
The road became muddy and the prospect became hazy.
The breeze on both sides began to sway, and the holy rope knots stood on the left and right, swaying in the wind, symmetrical and solemn.
Arima Shizuka was also slightly stunned and couldn't help but say.
"This is..."
Before he could say it, the other party had already replied.
"This is not the way to enter the pilgrimage."
