Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

That's enough.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's voice wasn't loud, but it was old and deep, like a boulder thrown into boiling oil, instantly suppressing all the noisy discussions in the barracks.

His thin fingers gripped his cane tightly, and his cloudy eyes swept over every captain present. The authority in his gaze seemed to freeze the air.

"Shen Jue has been taken to Hueco Mundo; this is a done deal."

The captain spoke slowly, each word like a hammer striking the hearts of everyone.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately issued the order: "Send out a rescue team."

After a brief silence, he spoke again, his voice carrying an undeniable determination: "I will personally go and explain to the Central 46th Bureau."

The captain tapped the ground lightly with his cane, the dull sound echoing.

This completely settled the matter of Shen Jue's disappearance.

All the team leaders held their breath and dared not utter the slightest objection.

The meeting continued in a tense atmosphere, but everyone's minds were clearly elsewhere.

When the agenda was over, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the director of the Technology Development Bureau and captain of the 12th Division, brought bad news.

"The Technology Development Bureau attempted to activate the black cavity leading to Hueco Mundo, but the device failed to start." Mayuri Kurotsuchi's face, covered in paint, unusually lacked a playful smile, instead revealing a gloomy expression.

"Not only is it unable to start, but monitoring data also shows that the entire Hueco Mundo is completely sealed off as if by a special 'membrane'."

"It's tricky."

Even Kyoraku Shunsui was starting to get restless.

He lowered his straw hat, his brows furrowed slightly, and thought to himself: Even Mayuri Kurotsuchi is helpless? If an enemy with such technical abilities were to target Shen Jue, Shen Jue might actually fall for it.

Time flew by in the tense atmosphere.

The Technology Development Bureau also seemed to be at odds with the membrane surrounding the virtual circle.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi worked tirelessly for several days, leading the pressure on the research team at the Technology Development Bureau to overcome the difficulties.

The laboratory lights stayed on all night, causing the research grim reapers at the Technology Development Bureau to lose a lot of hair, and the air was filled with anxiety.

However, just as the higher-ups of Soul Society were racking their brains over this "membrane," the gears of fate in Karakura Town in the human world began to turn quietly.

The story begins on an ordinary afternoon in Karakura Town, where Ichigo Kurosaki, a high school student with orange hair and the ability to see spirits, is living a seemingly ordinary life.

His world was completely turned upside down in one night.

The Grim Reaper Rukia Kuchiki and Shen Jue appeared before him, displaying immense power that was not of human origin.

Then Shen Jue was ambushed and captured by the Hollows, and Rukia Kuchiki was also ambushed and seriously injured.

When the Hollows reached out to Rukia Kuchiki and Ichigo Kurosaki's family, he had no choice but to accept Rukia's suggestion and obtain the power of a Shinigami from her.

That night, Ichigo's Zanpakuto was unusually large, and he easily defeated the Hollow by relying on his fighting instincts.

However, because Ichigo Kurosaki absorbed most of Rukia's spiritual power, she was unable to return to Soul Society and could only remain in the human world as a Gikai, becoming a transfer student in Ichigo's class.

Thus, Ichigo took on the responsibility of "Substitute Shinigami," purifying Hollows and guiding lost souls in Rukia's place.

The peaceful days did not last long.

Ichigo begins to gather companions with special abilities around him.

First is his classmate, the seemingly aloof pureblood Quincy Uryu Ishida.

Quincy and Shinigami are sworn enemies, and Uryu Ishida challenges Ichigo to prove the superiority of the Quincy.

The two joined forces to eliminate the massive Hollow horde lured by Uryu Ishida using "bait," and this battle transformed them from adversaries into comrades who deeply respected each other.

Next up is the burly Chad.

In order to protect his friends, he awakened the power of Fullbring, the "Right Arm of the Giant" and the "Left Arm of the Demon".

During a Hollow attack, Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia witnessed Chad's power and kindness, and officially included him in their party.

Finally, there is the gentle and kind Inoue Orihime. Her brother was once devoured by a Hollow, and she awakened the ability to reject phenomena with "Shield of the Rikka".

After being attacked by Hollows, Ichigo and the others rescued her. Orihime resolved to no longer be just someone to be protected, but to become a force that could protect everyone, and naturally joined Ichigo and the others.

Shen Jue would occasionally take Xiao Wu to the real world, where they would crawl into a cyborg and head straight to a comic book store, stuffing their shopping bags full of the latest issues and rare anime DVDs.

Therefore, Shen Jue was also secretly observing the actions of Kurosaki Ichigo and the others.

Thanks to the efforts of the fake Aizen in Soul Society, the much-anticipated storyline has finally begun.

Rukia Kuchiki relayed the information that she had distributed her spiritual pressure to humans back to Soul Society.

The act of transferring the power of the Shinigami to humans violates the laws of Soul Society.

Under the manipulation of the fake Aizen, the Central 46 sentenced Rukia Kuchiki to death.

The Sixth Division Captain Byakuya Kuchiki, unable to contain himself any longer, and his vice-captain Renji Abarai descend upon the mortal world.

These two grim reapers, one is going to capture his sister-in-law, and the other is going to capture his childhood sweetheart.

It was quite dramatic.

Faced with Byakuya Kuchiki's absolute strength, which was on par with Captain Kuchiki, Ichigo Kurosaki, who was still inexperienced and had not yet awakened most of his power, could not stop Rukia from being forcibly taken back to Soul Society no matter how hard he tried.

Although Ichigo Kurosaki has only known Rukia Kuchiki for a short time, he has already come to regard her as a comrade.

Watching Rukia's disappearing figure, Ichigo Kurosaki felt an unprecedented surge of fighting spirit. He was determined to rescue Rukia Kuchiki and save his friend.

Ichigo Kurosaki found Kisuke Urahara, the mysterious shop owner.

Under Kisuke Urahara's rigorous training, Ichigo was thrown into the "Dangai." Under the immense pressure of time, he finally heard the true name of his Zanpakuto and successfully rebuilt it.

Meanwhile, Ishida Uryu, Chad Yasutora, and Inoue Orihime also received enhanced abilities with the help of Urahara Kisuke.

With unwavering faith in saving Rukia Kuchiki, the group travels through the portal to the Rukongai (Soul World) and, as "Ryoka" (traveler), intends to launch an attack on the heavily guarded Seireitei (Seireitei).

Meanwhile, Shen Jue, who had been enjoying himself in Hueco Mundo for many days while maintaining his ethereal state, was also present.

After receiving the information from the fake Aizen, he finally remembered that he still had a job in Seireitei.

Amidst the reluctance of many Arrancar and Hollows, Shen Jue resolutely emerged from his boudoir, determined to put on a good show in front of Kurosaki Ichigo.

After all, his adorable tomboyish younger sister, Yoruichi Shihouin, returned to Soul Society with Ichigo Kurosaki and the others.
