Starting with Naruto, I'll become stronger through my own efforts.

Chapter 419: Why did the plot start so suddenly?

Xia Zuo stays at home, not only because he's content, but also because he's busy.

Xia Zuo bombarded Gotham with the Kamehameha Wave, not only killing Doomsday and flattening half of Gotham, but also unearthing something even more incredible.

Anti-Life Equation!

It's the pattern that Darkseid created with his hammer in ancient times.

The ancient battlefield is certainly not in Gotham, but the Anti-Life Equation is etched throughout the entire Earth, not even on the Earth's crust.

According to Xia Zuo's preliminary research, the anti-life equation is most likely inscribed on the surface of the iron-nickel star core at the Earth's core.

Of course, this guess may be wrong.

Xia Zuo currently lacks the ability to penetrate thousands of kilometers of geological strata and delve into the Earth's core to conduct on-site verification.

Moreover, who knows which genius left behind something as sophisticated and high-class as the "Anti-Life Equation"?

With such a great existence, would he be content to merely depict his works on real material objects?

For humans, the existence of matter on Earth is almost eternal, but for unimaginably great beings, even stars are not stable enough, so Earth, which was almost destroyed in a collision, is certainly not a stable existence either.

The Earth's core is hardly a suitable canvas for a great work of art.

Perhaps, just perhaps, a great being has drawn the anti-life equation on the gravitational field.

Although he couldn't figure out how it was depicted, it didn't stop Xia Zuo from studying and researching the anti-life equation.

only----

This thing is so difficult!

Xia Zuo suffered so much in one day that he pulled all his hair out three times!

As a madman, he can do anything when he's in a panic, but he just can't solve this math problem.

What should I do?

What can we do?

Learn slowly, research slowly, and if all else fails, just throw it into the dream world and share it with all of you. Surely one of Xia Zuo can handle it.

Soul Society! Soul Reich!

Xia Zuo woke up covered in sweat, clutching his head in pain and rolling around on the floor!

-

math!!!

I'm going to die!!!

It was unusual that the fourth seat commander of the 11th Division did not participate in the division's internal training.

Curious and itching to get their hands on the food, Third Seat Madarame Ikkaku and Fifth Seat Ayasegawa Yumichika visited together and saw Natsusa lying in the sunlight, constantly turning over to dry himself.

Madarame Ikkaku laughed until tears streamed down his face: "Hahaha, Natsuzo, what are you doing? Making pancakes?"

"Yumichika, Yumichika, quickly use your sword to help him flip it over!"

Ayasegawa Yumichika shook his head and asked, "Natsuzo, are you sick?"

Xia Zuo replied listlessly, "Yes, I'm sick, and it's a very serious heart problem."

Ayasegawa Yumichika and Madarame Ikkaku asked curiously, "What kind of mental illness is it?"

Xia Zuo's eyes suddenly turned dangerous. He carefully concealed his expression in the shadows and said slyly, "You want to know? I'll tell you."

Half an hour later, another fifth seat, Ayasegawa, was sunbathing in Xia Zuo's courtyard, turning over and over. As for the third seat—

Madarame Ikkaku is dead!

That pile of white, human-shaped ashes in the corner is it.

Fortunately, the people in the 11th Division had good personalities. After the first three officers had a big battle in the training ground in the afternoon, and were covered in sweat and blood, they completely forgot about the damn math problem.

After a good night's sleep, all his wounds healed completely, and by the next day he was back to being the energetic Fourth Seat, Xia Zuo.

Carrying his Zanpakuto, Joryoten, Natsuko arrived at the training ground to supervise the team's training, along with Third Seat Madarame Ikkaku and Fifth Seat Ayasegawa Yumichika.

The captain of the 11th Division never cares about training because he can't control his temper. Once he participates in training, he can't help but draw his sword and attack people.

Before Xia Zuo became a Shinigami, the captain of the 11th Division, Kenpachi Zaraki, had already cut down his entire team, leaving the Soul Society's main division with only four fighters, resulting in a two-day power gap.

Since then, Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni has issued a ban, strictly prohibiting the 11th Division Captain Kenpachi Zaraki from participating in any training within the division.

As the main combat squad, he could accept any heavy losses suffered by the 11th Division, but those losses had to be in battle, not meaningless losses during training.

Madarame Ikkaku roared at the top of his lungs, "Strike with force! With force! With all your might!!"

"Every strike you deliver on the battlefield could be your last! If you don't use your full strength, you'll die!!"

"Slash with all your might! Treat every strike as if it were your last! Slash with all your might!"

Ayasegawa Yumichika and Natsusa idly swung their asana-style Zanpakuto. At their level, ordinary slashes had long been ingrained in their instincts, and even sitting, lying down, and breathing were considered training exercises.

Coming to the training ground to participate in training is really just to set an example for the team members below.

After all, the captain and vice-captain are unreliable, and the daily team affairs are all handled by the three of them. If they don't pull themselves together, the 11th Division will fall apart sooner or later.

Xia Zuo didn't care; in his opinion, it didn't matter which squad he joined.

Of course, the conditions for joining the First Division, Second Division, and Sixth Division are strictly enforced, so he can't get in.

The 12th Division can't go either. Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi's behavior is too outrageous, and the vice-captains are all androids he created. Nobody can say for sure whether there are any living people in the entire division.

The Fifth Division can't go yet. It would be a good division after Captain Aizen Sousuke leaves and starts a new business in Hueco Mundo. The environment within the division is very relaxed.

However, Ikkaku Madarame and Yumichika Ayakawa have deep feelings for the 11th Division. They cannot accept life without the 11th Division, so they have no choice but to bite the bullet and take on the heavy responsibility.

As a mutual friend of theirs, Xia Zuo was completely dragged into working with them.

Of the three, Madarame Ikkaku was the most motivated, even during the most boring morning training sessions, while Natsume and Yumichika were basically just slacking off.

Xia Zuo said lazily, "Speaking of which, the Soul Society has been too peaceful lately. We haven't seen any Hollows for a long time, and even ordinary Hollows are becoming increasingly rare."

Yumichika yawned first, then nodded in agreement, saying, "It's definitely too calm. We've had similar calm before. Maybe Hueco Mundo is facing a big problem."

Don't worry, things will return to normal after a while.

"By then, there will definitely be hordes of Hollows, either on the edge of Soul Society or in the human world. In any case, we'll be able to have a good, satisfying slaughter."

After he finished speaking, he yawned again, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Natsusa, infected by Ayasegawa Yumichika's yawn, also let out a big yawn.

Before he could finish yawning, a loud "bang" was heard, and a large firework exploded on the Spirit Court's barrier.

Immediately afterwards, a loud alarm blared throughout the Pentecost.

Xia Zuo, Ayase Gawa Yumichika, and Madarame Ikkaku were all stunned, and the members of the 11th Division were even more confused and started discussing among themselves.

"What is that sound? It's so awful!"

"I don't know, it's a sound I've never heard before, it gives me a headache."

"A voice that's so unpleasant and shrill can't be a good thing."

Xia Zuo asked, "Ichigo, do you know what that sound is?"

Madarame Ikkaku didn't answer, but instead looked at Ayase Gawa Yumichika: "Yumichika, do you know?"

Ayasegawa Yumichika frowned and thought for a few seconds before saying uncertainly, "Maybe, perhaps, maybe it's an intrusion alarm?"

Madarame Ikkaku was stunned: "Intrusion alarm? The Seireitei has something like that?"

Xia Zuo replied uncertainly, "There are definitely intrusion alarms, but I've never heard them—"

Just then, an unfamiliar voice, accompanied by an alarm, echoed throughout the Spirit Court.

[Emergency Alert! Intruders discovered inside the Soul Society!]

[To reiterate, emergency alert! Intruders have been discovered within the Soul Society! All squads, take your positions and stand guard!]

Intruders discovered inside Soul Society!!!

Madarame Ikkaku clenched his fists and palms, overjoyed, and exclaimed, "I remember now! It really is an intrusion alarm! And it's a Ryoka intrusion!"

"Travel disaster!?"

The warmongers of the 11th Division cheered: "Great! A Ryouka has appeared!"

"The Traveling Calamity must be very strong; it can cut down very powerful enemies!"

Madarame Ikkaku raised his arm and shouted, "Quick! We need to find the Ryoka as soon as possible and take them down. We can't let the other divisions get there first!"

The team members all raised their long knives: "Oh!!!"

No one mentioned the captain and vice-captain. Everyone followed the three officers out of the squad to search for the Traveling Calamity in the Soul Society.

At this moment, it seems that all the squad captains are having a meeting with the Captain-Commander, and it will take them some time to get back to their respective squads.

Therefore, only the members of the 11th Division were mobilized in a large-scale operation, but they were the most troublesome among the Gotei 13, and they themselves stirred up a great uproar in the Soul Society.

All the captains who returned to their squads smiled. Captain Ukitake of the 13th Squad couldn't help but laugh and said, "The members of the 11th Squad are really full of energy."

Captain Kenpachi Zaraki of the 11th Division chuckled, "Not bad, just a bit lacking in strength, so I can't really enjoy myself."

Captain Kuchiki of the Sixth Division said coldly, "Gentlemen, stop joking. The invasion of the Ryokan is no small matter. Please take it seriously."

The invasion of the Calamity Tribe is no small matter. The Soul Society is the violent ruling body of Soul Society, with many powerful figures, strict security, and a tight barrier and defense facilities.

Invaders who dare to openly invade the Soul Society are either brainless idiots or fierce dragons that forcibly cross the river.

In short, they are all ruthless individuals who are confident in their ability to defeat the rule of the Shinigami, or who can fight their way in and out of the Gotei 13 seven times.

Xia Zuo followed behind Madarame Ikkaku, silently recalling the information about Seireitei.

After all, the invasion of the Ryoko wasn't just the one initiated by the protagonists. Xia Zuo has experienced three Ryoko invasions since becoming a Shinigami, and today is the fourth.

But this time it might be for real, because an unprecedented alarm has been sounded.

Furthermore, Toshiro Hitsugaya, who has awakened the strongest ice-type Zanpakuto, has appeared and taken up the post of captain of the 10th Division, thus fulfilling another prerequisite.

However, Xia Zuo was in the 11th Division and had a small social circle, so he was unaware of the situation in the 6th Division, which was exclusively controlled by nobles.

Therefore, he did not know whether the sixth division captain, Byakuya Kuchiki, had sent his sister-in-law, Rukia Kuchiki, to the human world to carry out a mission.

It is unknown whether Byakuya Kuchiki has already gone to the mortal world, captured Rukia, and imprisoned her in the Palace of Repentance on charges of unauthorizedly imparting the power of the Shinigami to humans.

Well, the Palace of Repentance is also the territory of nobles, and the 11th Division's influence cannot penetrate it at all.

Xia Zuo had long realized that he could effectively avoid the big boss Aizen in the 11th Division, but he was also confined to the 11th Division and unable to build a wide network of connections.

However, he did not regret it, because building connections was only for dealing with Aizen in the early stages.

Once Aizen leaves Soul Society, why would Xia Zuo need to build connections?

After all, if he just lived quietly, he would eventually become an invincible being. There was absolutely no need for him to risk his life for the meager sums of the Soul Society.

Just as he was lost in thought, he heard another loud "bang," this time accompanied by the sound of the barrier shattering.

Xia Zuo even saw several shooting stars falling from the sky.

"No wonder the alarm went off this time," Madarame Ikkaku exclaimed. "So this is the method of intrusion."

Ayasegawa Yumichika sneered, "Indeed, such a blatant invasion is a blatant slap in the face to the Soul Society, and to all of us Shinigami."

Xia Zuo asked, "That's strange. If the barrier was only breached and the intrusion only happened now, why was the alarm sounded before?"

Yumichika Ayasegawa speculated, "It's probably because the 12th Division made a prediction in advance. Ever since Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi took office, the 12th Division has become strange, but their prediction and research have become more and more outstanding. They must have predicted the method of invasion based on the previous explosion."

Xia Zuo nodded; he had no more doubts now.

If more than three conditions are met, then the identity of the invading scourge is self-evident!

The story has begun, but it really came as a surprise.

Above the Spirit Court's barrier, a cannonball enveloped in spiritual pressure, disguised as a firework, struck the barrier and successfully shattered it after a fierce spiritual particle conflict.

The "Rukia Rescue Team," hidden inside the spiritual pressure cannonballs, was scattered in the spiritual particle explosion, turning into meteors and falling to various corners of the Soul Society.

Soon, the calamity travelers encountered the Grim Reaper, who was everywhere, and a fierce battle ensued.

Clashes of spiritual pressure erupted everywhere, accompanied by a series of screams.

Clearly, the invading horde was incredibly powerful; they single-handedly defeated numerous Death Gods.

Their respective adversaries continued to roam the Soul Court.

The battle maniacs of the 11th Division were excited; such a powerful Ryoka was made just for them!

"Charge! We can't let such a good Ryouka fall into the wrong hands!"

"yes!!!"

The third, fourth, and fifth seats of the 11th Division dispersed, each leading a group of members, and began a search of the Soul Society.

As the search area expanded, Madarame Ikkaku successfully ran into the orange-haired intruder, Kurosaki Ichigo.

Surprisingly, the battle maniacs of the 11th Division were no match for him at all. Despite their superior numbers, they did not gain the upper hand and instead suffered heavy losses.

The leader of the team, Madarame Ikkaku, was so angry that his nose was crooked.
