"You can't withstand even my simplest attack, so you can't even withstand number 10."

Who is Espada No. 10? It's Yammy the Beast. If that guy punched Sasuke, he'd probably be reduced to dust. And since Yammy's title is "Beast of Fury," you can tell what his characteristics are: easily angered! Moreover, as long as he accumulates enough spiritual pressure, he can unleash it directly, going from No. 10 to No. 0. He's the only Espada who can upgrade. Theoretically speaking, given enough time to accumulate spiritual pressure, he could even achieve limitless power.

But theory is just theory. Yammy never reached that level before he was killed by Kenpachi.

Although Yammy can't beat Kenpachi, who's practically cheating, he could easily defeat Sasuke with a single punch. So, expecting Sasuke to fight Yammy is practically sending him to his death.

"Even I couldn't handle the last one?"

Sasuke asked with a stiff expression, while Ulquiorra answered indifferently.

"For someone as worthless as you, the power of the Espada is unbearable."

That's true, but could you please refrain from using the word "trash" when you speak?

But Sasuke dared not refute anything, because he couldn't win, he really couldn't win.

While not daring to refute, Sasuke was also thinking, if even the weakest couldn't withstand a single blow, then what was the point of me training them? It seemed he could only wait for Li Yue to take him to Soul Society. This place called Hueco Mundo was far too terrifying. Was Soul Society any weaker than this place?

"Since Lord Li Yue brought you here and allowed you to fight, there are naturally opponents you can fight. In Las Noches, besides the Espada, there are other Arrancar. If you want to fight, you can go find those subordinates."

"Subordinate official?"

Sasuke asked, puzzled.

“That’s right, subordinates starting from number 11.”

Subordinate officers are also Arrancar, and they also have their own serial numbers. However, although they have serial numbers, they are not qualified to join the Espada because they are subordinates of the Espada, hence the name "subordinate officers".

In Las Noches, there are two types of serial numbers. One type consists of the Espada and their subordinates, numbered from 0 to 99. The other type consists of Arrancar starting from number 100. The Arrancar number 100 is not actually ranked 100. They are stronger than their subordinates who are ranked higher. The reason they are ranked in the 100s is because they were originally Espada, but were forcibly removed and replaced by the new Espada. Therefore, Arrancars ranked in the 100s are more terrifying than those ranked in the 10s or even the 10s.

Sasuke can no longer provoke anyone, whether it's number 100 or numbers 0-10. The only ones he can slightly contend with now are his subordinates starting from number 11.

"Take me to see them."

Xiao Wu glanced at Sasuke, then nodded and walked into Las Noches. Sasuke followed behind him, and the two entered Las Noches together. Unlike the eternal night desert outside Las Noches, once inside, Sasuke saw blue skies, white clouds, and various gray and white cylindrical buildings.

"The sky here..."

The sudden blue sky and white clouds made him think he had entered another world, but upon closer inspection, he realized that the white clouds in the sky were fixed in place and did not move at all. The blue sky and white clouds were all a huge mural on the ceiling.

Who has nothing better to do than paint such a huge mural on such a large ceiling?

Sasuke couldn't help but complain inwardly as he followed Ulquiorra deeper into the area. Soon, the two arrived at a cylindrical building, where a figure appeared before them.

"Ulquiorra, what are your orders, Lord Aizen?"

The 30th Espada, Tia Harribel, asked Ulquiorra.

"Lord Aizen has not given any orders."

Xiao Wu gave a curt reply, then pointed to Sasuke behind him.

"He was brought by Lord Li Yue. Lord Li Yue's orders allow him to fight the Arrancar of Hueco Mundo, as long as he doesn't die."

"Ok?"

Harribel looked at Sasuke and frowned slightly.

"Do you want me to make a move?"

"No, this trash can't withstand the power of a Tenth-Rank Espada. Just have your subordinates handle it."

Xiao Wu explained the precautions in detail, especially the point about not killing them, since these were people brought by Li Yue.

"I see."

Heribel nodded slightly.

“Apache, Mila Rhodes, Sun Sun.”

As Harribel read out the names of her subordinates, three tall female Arrancars appeared behind her.

"Lady Harribel."

"You should have heard what Uruchiola just said."

"Yes."

The three of them looked at Sasuke behind Ulquiorra, and then they all grinned.

"We'll have a good time playing with this human brat."

Sasuke Otsutsuki is about to begin his first battle in another world!

455. The day I betray my adoptive father is not far off.

While Sasuke and Harribel's subordinates were fighting, in the conference room of the central hall of Las Noches, Sasuke was engaged in battle.

Li Yue had already arrived in front of Aizen through the portal.

"Godfather, I'm here!"

With no outsiders around, Li Yue immediately switched from his disdainful attitude towards Sasuke to his normal mode and moved closer to Aizen, who was standing in front of the monitor.

What are you looking at?

"I'm watching the battle situation in Soul Society."

Aizen answered Li Yue while looking at the monitor screen.

As soon as Li Yue entered Hueco Mundo, Aizen sensed his spiritual pressure and knew he had arrived. He then dispatched Ulquiorra to meet him, since it was clear from Li Yue's previous visit that Li Yue had a good impression of Ulquiorra.

"What's the situation in Soul Society? How's the fighting going?"

"The situation in Soul Society is quite interesting right now."

When the situation in Soul Society was mentioned, a smile appeared on Aizen's face.

"Because you, Li Yuejun, exposed the Wandenreich, the Soul Society immediately began investigating the Wandenreich after we left Soul Society. Just as I mentioned in the chat group before, the Soul Society's Technology Development Bureau found the Wandenreich and then launched an attack on it."

Aizen's fingers trembled slightly, and a screen appeared in front of Li Yue.

"But unfortunately, the Gotei 13's initial expectation that they could easily destroy the Wandenreich did not come true. The Quincy of this era are different from those of a thousand years ago. Just as you said, Li Yuejun, they have been observing the Seireitei from within the Wandenreich. Through the shadow of the Seireitei, they know everything about it. Under these circumstances, they have mastered all the Bankai of the Shinigami."

Aizen knew about the abilities of the Wandenreich's Quincy when Li Yue spoiled the plot, but the Shinigami didn't. That's why the Shinigami suffered a huge loss after storming into the Wandenreich.

"All the captain-level Shinigami who went to the Wandenreich to carry out the extermination were stripped of their Bankai, causing their assault to fail directly. Moreover, the Quincy Sternritters also used their individual abilities to inflict heavy casualties on the Shinigami's vanguard."

Within the Wandenreich, while there is Yhwach, who is extremely difficult to deal with, there are also other powerful Quincy. The members of the Sternritter are basically all captain-level in strength. Although there are differences in strength among these Sternritters, they have absolute overwhelming power over those officers and ordinary Shinigami.

Especially when Yhwach is not awake, Yugrain Haschwalth, as the Emperor's second-in-command, can exchange powers with Yhwach at night, gaining Yhwach's omniscience and omnipotence, and thus seeing the future.

Furthermore, the Quincy had been observing the Shinigami from the shadows of the Seireitei for many years and knew everything about them, while the Shinigami knew nothing about them. This huge information gap led to the Sternritter's complete crushing of the Shinigami's vanguard.

"The Bankai of the three captains, Toshiro Hitsugaya (10th Division), Byakuya Kuchiki (6th Division), and Sajin Komamura (7th Division), has all been taken away. Apart from the high-ranking Kido, Bankai is almost the strongest power of the Shinigami. The loss of their strongest power has caused them to instantly lose their high-end combat ability when facing the Quincy."

Aizen couldn't help but tilt his head back and laugh.

"It was all thanks to that beast-like Kenpachi that they were able to escape from the Wandenreich."

“If it’s Kenpachi, then it’s understandable. After all, his Satsupato hasn’t awakened yet, and he doesn’t know Kido. All he can use is pure swordsmanship. For him, his Satsupato is just the purest tool for cutting people.”

Aizen affirmed Li Yue's comments.

"That's right. The battle between Shinigami is a battle of spiritual pressure. There's no need for fancy Kido techniques, because Kido is just compressing and releasing spiritual particles. It's the purest and most correct way to fight. Just gather your own spiritual pressure and then slash at the enemy."

After Aizen fused with the Hogyoku, he gradually embarked on this path. When he was a Shinigami, he would still show off by using Kido and Kyoka Suigetsu. After fusing with the Hogyoku, he basically abandoned Kido and Kyoka Suigetsu, and his fighting style completely changed to using spiritual pressure and slashes.

After all, that's one of his famous quotes.

The battle between Shinigami is a battle of spiritual pressure!

"However, this is also a helpless situation for the Gotei 13."

Li Yue shrugged as she looked at the document displayed on the screen in front of her.

"That's right. The Gotei 13 can't possibly send all the Shinigami in at once. Given the practices of those Shinigami nobles, they will definitely send out a portion of Shinigami to test the waters first. Even if there are losses, it won't be a complete loss. As for the lost Shinigami, it's not a problem for the nobles. They can recruit more in Soul Society. As long as Captain-Commander Yamamoto and those senior captains who have been there for a hundred years haven't fallen, there shouldn't be any major problems."

The "100-year captain" title marks a dividing line among captain-level Shinigami. Those who have held the captain position for more than a century can be said to have entered another level and are considered elite captains among them.

Sending out a group of Shinigami as an advance force is a tactic that has been used before in Hueco Mundo. And now, there is still a Shinigami hiding in the Great Forest of Menreiki in Hueco Mundo.

But whether it's sending advance troops to Hueco Mundo or sending people to the Wandenreich, these advance troops are almost always the ones that suffer the heaviest casualties.

However, Soul Society probably didn't expect the losses to be this great. The captains' Bankai were stolen. When the captains' Bankai were taken away, they were all seriously injured when facing the Sternritter. The only one who was not in trouble was Kenpachi, who only knew how to fight.

However, not all captains are like Kenpachi who only know how to slash. Almost all captains rely on their own Zanpakuto to fight, which makes the Shinigami very troublesome.

Fortunately, the captain of the 12th Division, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the current director of the Technology Development Bureau, quickly analyzed the Wandenreich and the Quincy based on the available data. He developed a house that would keep him in constant light, preventing the Quincy from entering the room through shadows and thus cutting off their spying.

The next task for the Shinigami is to fight the Quincy under the leadership of Captain-Commander Yamamoto. Mayuri Kurotsuchi's mission is to analyze the Quincy's weaknesses as quickly as possible while the other Shinigami captains are fighting them, especially the methods to steal their Bankai and break their abilities, so that the captain-level Shinigami can regain their Bankai and increase their fighting power.

"It's no use. Although Yhwach hasn't woken up yet, the Shinigami still can't wipe out all the Quincy. Unless we take advantage of the fact that Yhwach hasn't woken up yet and send the 0th Division into battle."

"Unfortunately, the Zero Division will absolutely not show up now. Before Yamamoto falls, the Zero Division does not feel the need to show up."

"That's a real shame."

Li Yue and Aizen, the two masterminds behind the scenes, kept commenting on the footage on the monitor screen.

"However, letting the Zero Division enter is the direct way for you, Father, to find the Spirit King Palace, isn't it? As for creating the King Key to open the passage, that method is completely unnecessary now."

"That's right, it's no longer necessary to open the passage by creating the King Key, but it's also no longer necessary to have the Zero Squad appear to locate the Spirit King Palace."

Aizen looked at Li Yue with confidence.

"Because I already have better options."

"I see."

Li Yue immediately understood Aizen's meaning.

"My godfather wants me to open the passage to the Spirit King's Palace, right?"

“That’s right, the Spirit King Palace is located above the Serenity Court, but it is protected by a large number of barriers, making it impossible for outsiders to see or touch it. But this is not a problem for you, Li Yuejun, right?”

The Zanpakuto, capable of separating everything, could completely shatter the barrier surrounding the Spirit King Palace if Li Yue slashed it upwards. At that point, the Spirit King Palace would appear before Aizen on its own.

“I have now fully fused with the Hogyoku, and the future you see is different from what you see in Li Yuejun. This time, I will not back down, nor will I give up the sword in my hand.”

"Then let me pave the way for my godfather!"

Li Yue also looked at Aizen, and the two of them revealed an evil smile.

"The day when I proclaim, 'A true man is born between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long!' is not far off!"
