Chapter 269: Chaos in Hueco Mundo

Chapter 269: Chaos in Hueco Mundo
In the virtual world.

Following the departure of Arima Shizuya, Kurotsuchi Mayuri returned to normal. He was fiddling with something on his body, making it difficult to see clearly.

But Ishida Uryu had no intention of paying attention to him.

I already had a bad impression of this guy, not to mention that my grandfather died because of him... I just glanced at him and turned my gaze to Inoue Orihime.

"Inoue, come with me and leave here first."

"Okay, okay..."

Inoue Orihime just took half a step forward, and Ulquiorra, who was standing outside the door, spoke calmly.

"Woman, stop."

——It was really surprising that the dumb guy suddenly opened his mouth.

Wu Laosi just stared at the three people in front of him calmly, with no fluctuation in his tone at all.

"My duty is to protect the safety inside the barrier. This is what Lord Arima told me before he left."

"Therefore, every blade of grass and every tree in this place is something I have to take care of."

He raised his right hand and pointed his index finger in front of him, his eyes cold and lifeless.

"Even this woman is the same."

Of course, it is not impossible to take Inoue Orihime away.

Just defeat Ulquiorra.

So……

"Ishida Uryu, do you want to fight me?"

The young Quincy showed a rather conflicted expression. He choked for a moment, then clenched his hands, which were hanging by his side, into fists.

Watching someone die without helping? Ishida Uryuu couldn't say such words out of conscience and moral standards.

But if I take action at this time, my chances of success will obviously be low... In this situation, what kind of decision should I make to be the best option?
"You'll die, so it's better to give up."

Kuroshio Mayuri's tone was teasing and mocking. He raised his head again as if he had finished fiddling with something.

"Your mediocre skills are no match for the Arrancar."

"If you really want to save this woman, you should retreat earlier and find other powerful people to come."

"For example... oh, that kid called Kurosaki Ichigo? Well, I think he's just a normal guy, but for some reason everyone admires him so much~"

Ishida Uryu frowned slightly, revealing an attitude of disgust at this moment.

"You don't have to worry about my affairs!"

"Of course~ I don't mean to talk to you."

There are naturally deeper reasons for choosing to speak up now.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri took out something round from his arms, put it close to his face, and his pupils contracted like those of a cat.

He just stared at the object in his hand, like a beast examining its prey.

"After all, I have also acquired something more interesting. Hmm... I see. Is this a prototype made to imitate the broken jade?"

"Although it does not possess that level of spiritual pressure and independent consciousness, it is a type tailor-made for Arrancar..."

“Pfft…Hahaha, hahahahahahaha!!!”

"A mere fellow from the support team is trying to study such advanced things. He really overestimates his own abilities!"

"As expected, people with limited talents just can't comprehend the so-called mysteries. At this time, all you can do is give up your own path and choose a more suitable shortcut~"

"So? Finally decided to leave this kind of thing to me to study?"

"It's not Urahara Kisuke, nor is it that Aizen Sosuke, but my Captain of the 12th Division, Director of the Technical Development Bureau, Kurotsuchi Mayuri?!"

"What a vision, what an inspiration! Even after leaving Team 13, you still have some foresight, Arima Shizuka."

"I have changed my mind about you a little bit!"

Kurotsuchi Mayuri was saying something incomprehensible and seemed to be completely immersed in his own world.

"What's wrong? You're not going to leave here yet? Ishida Uryuu, don't you think you're going to pay any attention to my advice?"

"I just said it, our Gotei 13 is heading towards Hueco Mundo. Let's not talk about the others for now, my first destination is here."

"Because what I have in my hand is really interesting... Of course, I will save this human when the time comes. It's just a piece of cake."

You are Welcome.

Seeing the other person half-turned his head, he spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.

The person concerned pursed his lips and couldn't help but speak.

"Who would believe you..."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi put down the prototype Hogyoku in his hand, and his tone was filled with a hint of sudden enlightenment.

"Ah, speaking of this... you really have no reason to trust me."

After all, the hatred between the two had been planted decades ago.

"So what are you going to do now?"

With a stiff smile, Kurotsuchi Mayuri raised his left hand and pointed his index finger at his cheek.

Said as if mockingly.

"Do you want to kill me? Maybe that will make you feel better?"

Such an annoying face and smile...

I'm afraid that even without my grandfather's hatred, I wouldn't have a good impression of this guy. It's like the relationship between magnetic fields that repel and attract each other.

Ishida Uryuu, I'm afraid he will never be interested in such a person in his life.

He turned his head away in disgust, and there was not a trace of kindness in his tone.

"That kind of thing doesn't make sense."

The dead are gone.

In this world with three distinct realms, death may not be the end, but it is also an exit in another sense.

not to mention……

"I already understood it when I was in Soul Society."

"I'm not in the mood to argue with a guy like you who doesn't know what sadness and joy are, and who doesn't even know how to take care of his own body."

"Just hold on to that unrealistic and laughable dream and spend your life alone."

The Soul-Dispersing Gloves of that day wiped out all the past grudges, and the disgust now was just an instinctive rejection.

"Oh..."

Kurotsuchi Mayuri chuckled softly, his expression showing a hint of surprise.

"I think I've changed my mind about you a little, Ishida Uryu."

Without responding immediately, Ishida Uryuu paused for a moment with his back to the view, and then spoke softly.

"Everyone will grow, whether they want to or not."

Having said this, there is no point in continuing the discussion.

"Inoue-san, I'm sorry that my powers are limited... I can't take you away safely in this situation."

Ishida Uryu, who made the decision, was full of guilt. In contrast, Inoue could fully understand the other party's difficulties.

"That's not the case, Ishida-kun, don't feel guilty. This is my own trouble. I feel bad for making everyone so busy..."

Sentimental nature.

After Inoue Orihime only said two sentences, her eyes were already slightly red.

The desire to talk rose in the girl's heart, and she was eager to find someone to whom she could tell the pain she had experienced during this period.

"Inoue-san..."

Watching someone cry is not a pleasant experience. But soon, the girl adjusted herself and wiped away the tears from her eyes.

"Sorry, I accidentally wanted to say something weak again..."

It's normal to shed tears.

After all, this is human nature, and it is also a manifestation of one's nature. But after that, how should the person concerned face those who care about him...

This is the most important thing.

Don't say discouraging words, as they will only bring unnecessary pressure to others.

Although the time was not long, during the time she spent with Arima Shizuya, Orihime Inoue also learned the difference between pretending to be strong and being strong inside.

The girl took a deep breath, feeling the excitement in her heart, and spoke in the most sincere tone.

"I want to leave here, so... Ishida-kun, can I trust you?"

At this time, is there any second answer?
Ishida Uryu nodded decisively and responded in the same tone.

"Well, we will definitely rescue you!"

There is no point in continuing to waste time here. Ishida Uryuu looked deeply at Inoue Orihime and chose to turn around and leave.

As Ulquiorra said before, he did not choose to stop it.

After spending a long time together, Arima Shizuya's orders have been ingrained into his bones, turning Wu Laosi into an extremely strict executor of the rules.

——It’s a youth story that really moves people to tears.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi smacked his lips and did not shift his focus, quickly returning to the things at hand. He had witnessed too many miracles of life, not to mention that he had witnessed a man who had created something from nothing.

But now, for him, this small piece of broken jade is his focus.

If Ulquiorra had just stayed where he was and not taken any hostile actions, he wouldn't have done anything excessive.

Only Inoue Orihime felt somewhat embarrassed.

A man standing by the door, unable to utter a word even after being hit with three sticks, a careless person like a sculpture.

A Frankenstein who never blinks, mutters to himself, and draws something from time to time.

Let's be honest.

Those who can stay in Hueco Mundo are not normal people...

The situation seemed to be settled, however, just as Ishida Uryuu left the barrier.

A not-so-friendly voice, carried along the chilly wind of the Hueco Mundo desert, directly reached the ears of the Quincy.

"Oh, I found it."

A voice that is slightly familiar, but not very recognizable.

Ishida Uryu raised his head subconsciously, and saw a slender man like a ghost standing on a high place, carrying a broken full moon on his back, making it difficult to see his original face clearly.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, the young Quincy used his five senses to capture all the information around him, attempting to analyze the other party's identity.

Long black hair, narrow single eye, and a sinister and cunning smile on his face, giving people a sense of dishonesty at first glance...

A little bit, I remembered.

"Remember me? Quincy brat."

The other person raised his right hand, pointed at himself with his thumb, and stuck out his tongue.

The words floating above were vivid, making his smile inexplicably hideous and terrifying.

"Arrancar No. 5, Nnoitra Gilga, is me."

"...?!!!"

Ishida Uryu's nerves subconsciously tensed.

I have absolutely no idea why the other party would appear in such a place.

Didn't Arima Jing already give the order for these guys to wait where they were and wait until someone came before taking action?

"You, you guys..."

While he was choking, sweat began to appear on Ishida Uryu's forehead.

"What? You can't even make your words clear?"

After jumping down from the high ground lightly, Nnoitra walked forward slowly with a look of disdain on his face.

"Do you think I would obey orders so obediently? Just wait like a fool for you to come and kill us one by one?"

"You can figure it out with a little bit of brainpower, right? This order is definitely just to restrict our actions."

"Both Aizen Sosuke and Arima Shizuya have left Hueco Mundo... but they didn't take us with them."

Why is that?

The answer is probably simple and clear.

"Because we have been abandoned."

Pulling out the long sword from his waist, Nnoitra gently twisted his neck.

His limbs were so slender that they could make people gasp. Although he was only moving forward slowly at this moment, the pressure he exerted on people was already exaggerated.

"Since we are no longer valued, what is the point of continuing to abide by the rules?"

"And that's what it comes down to."

"The so-called praying mantis will wander around..."

Something to hunt for prey.

While grinning, Kurotsuchi Mayuri, who was inside the barrier, suddenly raised his head and spoke in a slightly choked tone.

"It's not good..."

The development of things was completely unexpected.

The long sword flipped and swung down.

A bright red blood gushed toward the sky, and under the reflection of the bright moonlight, it looked bloody and cruel.

Rukia and Renji, who had already entered the Hueco Mundo and began to take action step by step, both showed surprised expressions.

Some people have already started getting hurt.

at the same time.

Ichigo Kurosaki couldn't help but clench his teeth.

As expected, I shouldn’t have agreed to the other party’s proposal to act alone from the beginning.

Now that things have developed to this point, I have become an accomplice in harming Ishida Uryu.

"Ichigo?"

Nilu and others who were following beside him felt the fluctuation of spiritual pressure and looked around with some concern.

"I'm sorry, Neel, I have to go save Ishida first... If you don't mind, you guys wait here for a while."

Yasutora Chadashi looked at Ichigo Kurosaki's expression, which gradually changed from gentle to serious.

Until finally he clenched the Zanpakutō in his hand.

"I'll be able to fix it quickly, and then I'll bring Inoue back with me."

The words fell.

A loud bang erupted in the sky above Hueco Mundo.

Just like some kind of cruise missile attack, the air was violently dispersed and collapsed into a milky white airflow.

Grimmjow Jagajek stood in the air with a grim smile.

He stared down at the crowd that were like ants, his tone full of the urge to try.

"I've been looking for you for a long time, Kurosaki Ichigo!"

There was no need for too many words. Just the aura and feeling lingering around him was enough for everyone to sense the obvious provocation.

"Ichigo, let me hold him back for you."

The strength of the Arrancar is unquestionable, and the opponent's number NO.6 is even more extraordinary.

Chad Taitora awakened another part of his power in the previous battle and attempted to risk his own life.

At this moment, I have already prepared myself mentally.

If it's just a delay, it won't be a problem.

But he was pulled directly to the spot by Kurosaki Ichigo, and the boy's lips moved slightly for a moment.

It seemed like he wanted to say something polite, but in the end it just turned into a plain and relaxed smile.

That's okay, no problem.

"I will do it myself."

Taking a step forward, Ichigo Kurosaki had already completed his Bankai.

"Grimmjow Jakejak, right?"

His right hand was placed on his face, revealing a single eye that was gleaming with ferocity.

"Sorry, I don't have much time to waste."

The black and red electric light flashed around Kurosaki Ichigo like thunder, crawling!
The power belonging to the Hollow was revealed, and here, the boy who had reconciled and fully mastered this part... felt like he had returned home.

Like a fish in water.

That's the case.

Along with the black and red spiritual pressure rising into the sky, the surging turbulence was enough to make everyone fall to the ground.

"so……"

The sounds were beginning to show signs of overlapping.

It was as if countless Kurosaki Ichigos began to whisper, and there was an indescribable weird feeling.

"I'm going to go all out and defeat you."

The smoke gradually dissipated, and a dragon-like mask appeared on the face, and the exoskeleton began to spread until it covered the neck.

This is where Ichigo Kurosaki is currently "hollowed out".

It was a completely new mentality that even Grimmjow had a puzzled expression.

"What's this?"

"You'll find out soon enough."
