Bleach: The Captain of the Fifth Division Becomes Stronger Through Training.

Chapter 324: Extravagant and disorderly

Dolisk's body fell to the ground with a loud bang.

He soaked in his own blood, with his eyes wide open, staring blankly at the sky... until he was completely silent.

Ulquiorra walked forward slowly.

The Arrancars do not have the emotional fluctuations that humans have. Even if they witness the life and death of others with their own eyes, they will not be fluctuated in the slightest.

So he just glanced away and then focused his gaze on the back of the person next to him.

Chojiro Suzuki was standing up unsteadily.

His body was covered with bruises and his face was in disarray. It was not difficult to see that... in the previous contest, he was at a disadvantage.

Considering that even his trump card Bankai might be taken away, without Ulquiorra's help, the possibility of Suzube's death is definitely not low.

That's why.

This actually made the Arrancar feel strange.

After all, from her point of view, Ulquiorra could not understand the logic behind the other party's behavior at all.

"You should already know what's going to happen, right?"

"But not only did they not take the shadow-invading drug, they didn't even inform me before taking action."

"As a partner, your actions leave me confused... Chojiro Suzuki."

In response to the Arrancar's doubts, Chojiro Suzuki still maintained his indifferent attitude.

"I have nothing to say to you guys."

"This again?"

Ulquiorra's tone became a little subtle.

It's not that he was without emotions before, so naturally he wouldn't do something like that.

However, after going through so much, he could also feel that his emptiness was being filled and gradually becoming fuller.

An expression of disdain appeared on the Arrancar's face.

"Does it matter if you sacrifice your life for something you can't see or touch?"

"If I could understand you guys a little bit before, now I... really despise such behavior and manners."

Knowing but not doing is a sin.

Chojiro Suzuki remained silent.

I don't know if it was out of simple shame or some other reason, but he didn't respond, just stood there with his eyes closed.

"This is what old-school people like me insist on. People like you... won't understand, and don't need to understand."

Perhaps the most appropriate way to describe these people is to use the word "old stubborn".

Even if he understood what he was about to face, he would not cross the bottom line. Even if it cost him his life, he seemed to have no regrets at all.

Perhaps these people had already determined their own fate from the very beginning.

"Our deaths are not meaningless."

Suzu Chojiro sheathed his sword. He staggered for a while, and was helped by those around him to stand still, but he shook off the help of others.

"This is the spirit that we old-school Death Gods uphold! This is also the spirit that must be preserved!"

"Some things can be changed because this is the general trend and the direction the world is going... We have no intention of reversing these things."

"But correspondingly, if no one insists on these things that you think are old and outdated, they will really disappear..."

This is the awareness of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, and it is also his philosophy.

If I die because of this, it is also what I wish for.

The spirit and ethics soaked in blood will only make them more dazzling and eye-catching.

"It is honor to die, and shame to live."

As a close aide to the former captain-general, Chojiro Suzuki can best understand his spirit and beliefs.

The same is true of our persistence at this moment.

Faced with such persistence and will, Ulquiorra simply turned his head and whispered like in a dream.

“…I really don’t understand.”

So-called life, doesn't it mean that it has no value at all once you die?

The philosophies of both parties were bound to be contradictory, but both of them were the type who would not say a word to each other. After their eyes shifted away from each other, they remained silent at the same time.

Chojiro Suzuki endured the pain and gave orders at this moment.

"Pass the order down, let everyone be alert and don't give these villains any more opportunities..."

"This is no longer necessary."

That was another voice that was unfamiliar to Chojiro Suzuki.

Turn your head.

A tall, revealing Arrancar with blond hair can be seen floating down nearby.

There was a distinct '3' tattooed on the other person's waist.

Tia Hribel.

Even after the disbandment of the Ten Espada, they still kept their numbers, which in itself was an act of respect for the past.

She looked down at the two people in front of her and repeated in a steady tone.

"The Quincy that invaded Soul Society, the one you just dealt with was the last one."

Ulquiorra paused for a moment and said expressionlessly.

"How is this going?"

"Literally...it seems you didn't pay attention to the previous combat meeting."

Harribel raised her right hand and unzipped the zipper that covered half of her face, revealing her original appearance.

"This invasion is not an all-out war, but rather an exploratory act in another sense. So according to the original plan... this guy shouldn't have died."

The person Harribel was referring to was Dorisk.

"If someone dies, it will make the other party extra cautious, which will lead to problems in their next actions."

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Ulquiorra lowered his eyes and stared at the guy who had completely lost his voice.

"I didn't expect it to be so complicated... Sorry, last meeting, I was in the final stages of integration."

It also takes courage to admit mistakes.

But compared to refusing to pay his debt, Ulquiorra seems more inclined to express regret for his mistakes.

Harribel sighed silently.

"If it were in the past, I would indeed hold you responsible. But we are no longer in a superior-subordinate relationship..."

After a pause, she slowly walked forward, raised her hand and gently patted the other person's shoulder.

"And regarding these matters, the people who arranged them seem to have made preparations for both scenarios... It's better not to worry too much."

"Yeah."

Ulquiorra nodded slightly. His thoughts were always easy to understand, and he never worried too much about certain things.

He simply lowered his eyes and looked at the corpse at his feet.

"So-called Quincy, are they guys with only this much strength?"

This guy's interest has always been focused on the Quincy. After all, Hueco Mundo has been making various preparations for this war since a long time ago.

Although he had no interest in life or death, since the target was so dangerous, even someone as cold as him would be somewhat curious about the other party's strength.

"No, this should be the weaker level."

Harribel replied firmly, pausing for a moment before repeating it for emphasis.

"According to the known information, there are more than 30 members of the Stern Cross Knights... When this guy fought with you, he hadn't even activated the power of the holy text, right?"

With her hands folded in front of her chest, Harribel seemed to know the process of the fight between the two sides even though she was not at the scene.

"This shows that the opponent was quite careless and only wanted to seize the Bankai, and did not take the opponent seriously."

"..."

Although it can be confirmed that the other party's statement does not have any substantive direction.

But this covert approach made Chojiro Suzuki, who had been silent nearby, feel uncomfortable all over.

Isn't this really playing tricks on me...

"How long will you two stay?"

Although I was mentally prepared, I still watched the two Arrancars wandering around and moving freely in Soul Society.

As a veteran god of death, it is indeed a bit unnerving.

Harribel responded calmly, "Of course, we will wait until your captain deems the crisis over and that we can disband."

The captain-general, Shunsui Kyoraku.

Although he is the favorite student of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, this guy's command style is completely different from that of his mentor...

At this point, as an outsider, Chojiro Sumire is unable to make any comments.

He could only close his eyes helplessly.

"Then...you can do as you please."

Out of sight is pure.

Let’s go and report the current situation to old man Yamamoto.

……

Temporary gathering!

In the meeting of Soul Society, the captains of each division gathered together at this moment.

Kyoraku Shunsui, the meeting host, had already arrived. After confirming the final members' positions, he decided that there was no time to lose...

He immediately opened his mouth and spoke.

"I believe you all know our current situation, right?"

"It is just as we predicted long ago... the great enemy we are waiting for."

"The Invisible Empire, which was wiped out a thousand years ago, seems to have made a comeback once again."

No one responded, or was waiting for Kyoraku Shunsui to explain, or to come up with some more constructive suggestions later.

This result is not surprising.

Kyoraku Shunsui continued.

"I know that before today, some captains must have expressed doubts and confusion about the intelligence we have."

"Like why are there these 'inexplicable' guys popping up? What on earth do they want to do?"

"There are definitely many such problems... Well, I would be happy to discuss this with you after the meeting."

Just before that.

"Regarding the crisis we are about to face, can you captains reach a consensus?"

Just as Kyoraku Shunsui had discussed with Arima Shizuya before.

Without seeing it with one's own eyes and knowing the reality, everyone will have a certain degree of luck.

Only after facing real danger will many people truly realize their own shortcomings.

The so-called internal and external troubles...

Perhaps this is what is meant.

Kyoraku Shunsui sighed in his heart. The meetings, which were always noisy in the past, were surprisingly quiet today.

That’s great—everyone was like this when Shan Ye held a meeting before.

This really gave Kyoraku Shunsui the experience of being a 'real' captain-general.

"Since everyone has no objection, I can move on to the next stage... But before that, everyone."

Kyoraku Shunsui took the glass bottle from Nanao beside him, held it in his hand, and shook it gently.

"Please don't miss out on this 'Shadow Invasion Drug' and take it regularly to maintain the balance and strength of your body."

after all……

"I think everyone has heard from Suzube-senpai, right? The opponent is indeed able to seize Bankai. If it weren't for this thing, some of us might be in danger."

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

Looking at the honest people, Kyoraku Shunsui felt relieved but at the same time he couldn't help feeling helpless in his heart.

Arima-kun...

What you wanted to do has finally been completed today.

But where are you now?
……

"A horse, a horse?"

The voice of Candice came from the side, bringing Arima Shizuka back to her senses.

"……Um?"

He sat up subconsciously with a dazed expression.

Candice put her head on Arima Shizuya's belly, raised her head slightly, and looked at the other party with curiosity.

"What happened to you just now? You looked so strange, as if you suddenly saw something terrifying."

"Is that so……"

Arima Shizuya touched her cheek belatedly.

He did recall a lot of things, but they were too fragmented to be pieced together into the outline of an elephant's eye.

Those ones.

Perhaps it was once part of the original body.

This kind of seemingly plausible thing often appears in Arima Shizuya's mind. Considering the current situation, I am afraid that the "self" hidden in Kurosaki Ichigo's body is also the same.

Memories do not disappear out of thin air, nor can they be fabricated.

So keeping these things has its own meaning...

But now, as an incarnation, he doesn’t need to know.

"Look, I'm distracted again!"

Katie's complaint made Arima Shizuka smile embarrassedly. She wanted to say something, but couldn't find a reason to start.

In the end, he could only chuckle and apologize.

"I'm sorry... I was just thinking about the task His Majesty gave me during the day."

"Ah, that one you're talking about~"

When it comes to serious matters, Candice becomes listless.

She closed her eyes like a cat and made a purring sound in her throat.

"I was just trying to test him, but Dorisk took the initiative to find him... It's not surprising that he lost his life, right?"

"Although we also have the ability to seize Bankai, that guy's temper is so easy to get carried away."

"I'm afraid that after I succeeded, someone else would seize the opportunity and kill me in the end."

It doesn't matter~
"It's just that a guy who was not very likable died. In the end, victory will definitely belong to our Invisible Empire."

Katniss's attitude can almost represent most members of the Stern Cross Knights.

This kind of arrogance and prejudice that comes from the bones is essentially the attitude of Youhabach.

"Besides, didn't that guy Kiluge come back safely?"

"He went to Hueco Mundo to fight and came back. He didn't seem to encounter any decent resistance along the way."

"This means that our next opponent, basically, we only need to focus on the Soul Society. It's just a mere Death God, it's easy to deal with."

Arima Shizuya pondered for a moment, then smiled faintly.

After all, there is no room for 'refutation'.

"It would be nice if that were the case."

"It's better to say that this is how it should be!"

Katie suddenly sat up, pressed her upper body forward, and opened her mouth to bite Arima Shizuya's earlobe.

Start blowing air into it.

"Instead of discussing those disappointing things, why not..."

He simply couldn't stop feeling happy, not to mention that as someone who controlled the power of thunder and lightning, this guy didn't like to hide his feelings.

She leaned back and the smile on her face faded, like a cat that tasted blood.

"If it were you, it would be okay to mess up my hair a little...it would actually be more exciting."

Her right hand dropped down and pressed gently.

"Let's do something fun."

A luxurious and disorderly life.

This is the true portrayal of the invisible empire today.
