Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 519 Conquering Hueco Mundo, Yhwach Awakening Plan!

Snow falls in the Soul Society even in winter.

When the first snow of early winter fell, the once prosperous Seireitei had already withered away.

Within Seireitei, over 95% of the population has already been relocated to the Pure Land for refuge.

The conditions there are definitely much worse than in Seireitei now. Noble lords have to live on construction sites. The conditions are at most comparable to those in Rukongai.

Even so, everyone still rushes to seek refuge in the Pure Land.

Not long ago, the Central 46 Chambers issued an order to annihilate Las Noches, requiring all eligible Shinigami within the Seireitei to participate in the operation and work with the Gotei 13 to continuously strike at the Las Noches forces in Hueco Mundo until they are completely wiped out!

In other words, it requires mobilizing all combat forces within the Seireitei, centering on the Gotei 13, to penetrate Hueco Mundo.

This combat order sounds very powerful, with things like continuous strikes until complete annihilation.

It's as if the Seireitei is incredibly powerful, capable of destroying Hueco Mundo with a single move.

However, in reality, if we don't take into account combat strength beyond the norm, then the Seireitei is no match for Las Noches!

From a macro perspective, they are the disadvantaged side and are very likely to be defeated.

Many noble lords, although they all know that the Spirit Lord is very strong and the Captain-Commander is very strong, and that if both of them were to personally participate in this operation, there should be no problem, ultimately, everyone's understanding of Hueco Mundo and Las Noches is still too little.

Is there really no powerful enemy in this vast Hueco Mundo that can compare to the Spirit Lord and the Captain-Commander?

Maybe not?

If that were to actually happen, regardless of whether they could defeat these two, even if they were to entangle, delay, or trap them, any of these scenarios could lead to a complete collapse of Seireitei.

The most likely outcome is the fall of Seireitei.

Under such circumstances, how could one possibly stay in Seireitei? If there's no other choice, fine, but if there were, wouldn't one hurry to the Pure Land for refuge?

After all, the Pure Land is a place where the Black Hole cannot be opened in Hueco Mundo; it is truly safe inside.

As for the living conditions, they are terrible and cannot be compared with the comforts in Seireitei at all. At a time like this, who cares about that?

If you don't want to leave, you don't have to. It's not mandatory.

Central 46 Rooms area, Central Plaza.

The vast plaza was almost completely filled with Shinigami, clearly indicating that the Kido Clan would soon open a large portal here to travel directly to Hueco Mundo.

Bane took a long-awaited tour of the underground prison.

Because of the Captain's special recruitment, Bane had almost completely eliminated the Grim Reapers in the prison, except for those in the Infernal Affairs. However, Bane didn't even know whether those in the Infernal Affairs were alive or dead, and he couldn't be bothered to care.

The serious criminals and death row inmates had long been used up by the Twelfth Division. Those released from this large prison were actually prisoners with minor offenses, the kind who could be accepted and could turn back.

After all that commotion, there aren't many prisoners left in the underground prison.

"The Eighth Division has left some guards at the Great Spirit Book Corridor. Should we leave some people at the Great Prison?" Kensei Muguruma asked.

Although they said they would go all out to fight in Hueco Mundo, it wasn't really about wiping out every single member of Seireitei.

The Eighth Division was tasked with guarding the Great Spirit Book Corridor, and the Twelfth Division was tasked with monitoring the Technology Development Bureau, so they both left behind some guards, though the number was very small, barely enough to keep the desolate Seireitei alive.

"I'm not keeping them." Bane shook his head and said, "Kensei, can't you see? This is a ploy by Aizen and Orochimaru and their bunch of bastards. Their goal is to make Seireitei 'empty' so that we'll put all our power into Hueco Mundo."

"Of course I can understand that to some extent too," Kensei Muguruma scratched his head and said, "But since Lord Spirit Lord has also decided to go to Hueco Mundo, then things like Las Noches are, in my opinion, not worth mentioning."

"Then tell me, if it's so insignificant, why did they bother sending us to Hueco Mundo?" Bane asked.

"For..." Kensei Muguruma was about to say something, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"To facilitate our manipulation of the Seireitei, just wait and see. Those Las Noches and Hollows in Hueco Mundo are nothing but bait. The skeletons in the tomb are just a means for Aizen and Orochimaru to lure us there. The moment we step into Hueco Mundo, they will lose their value. Things without value have no reason to exist. Therefore, Las Noches is destined to be annihilated. At the same time, the moment we step into Hueco Mundo, the moment the portal closes, that's when the Seireitei will become lively," Bane said.

"I see." Kensei Rokusha seemed to realize something and smacked his lips.

He didn't ask why, even though you've already figured it out, you still have to cooperate.

Because he knew that although Lord Spirit Lord had called Aizen and Orochimaru "bastards" earlier, he still trusted and cared for them.

Orochimaru and Aizen certainly wouldn't do anything that crosses Lord Spirit's bottom line.

So this is called a coordinated performance.

Stepping out of the prison gates, Bane yanked the Heart Crossing stick out of the ground. The coiled Azure Dragon roared and obediently shrank its body, quickly being sheathed by Bane.

Seeing how happy Xindu was, it knew that it must have sensed that it could finally leave this awful place and go out to play.

When they passed the entrance to the Great Book of Spirits again, Bane glanced over there, said nothing, and quickly left with Kensei Muguruma.

A few minutes later, Aizen Sousuke emerged from the shadows, leaning against a pillar in the Great Scripture corridor. He sighed softly to himself, "Is Master angry? Hmm... that's unlikely."

That's right, Aizen, the third seat of the 8th Division, was one of the people responsible for staying behind to guard the Great Spirit Book Corridor.

By the time Bane arrived at the Central Plaza, the Ninth Division had already assembled.

The other squads have also mostly arrived.

The special combat team under the First Division has recalled all the former captains and tough guys. Now, they are all scattered and each leading a part of Seireitei's "civilian forces".

The Great Ghost Daoist Master, Woling Tiezhai, is also organizing the Ghost Daoists to construct a large-scale interdimensional gate.

Before that, it was clear that some squads had already gone to Hueco Mundo.

The first to enter Hueco Mundo were the Second Division, led by Yoruichi Shihouin. They had already entered Hueco Mundo after confirming their intention to fight Las Noches, and went to find a secluded and suitable area to build a temporary camp.

At that time, she will use the interdimensional portal to pull the portal opened by the Ghost Path Sect directly into the camp.

This also makes it safer.

Not only the Second Division, but also the Third Division, which was a support team, went along at that time.

"Are there so many absentees from the Twelfth Division?" Bane asked Shiba Isshin beside him, after looking at the situation of the Twelfth Division.

Shiba Isshin didn't think much of it and said casually, "After all, they're supposed to be assisting us with monitoring. We can't exactly bring all those bulky instruments from the 12th Division to the front lines, can we?"

Orochimaru, the captain of the 12th Division, didn't come.

The team was led by Hiyori Sarugaki, but Kisuke Urahara and Mayuri Kurotsuchi were nowhere to be seen!

Quite a few soldiers did come, but without exception, they were all ordinary soldiers who had not entered the Technology Development Bureau.

Just as Bane and Shiba were chatting idly, not far ahead, Yamamoto Genryusai, who was leaning on a cane, resting with his eyes closed, and seemingly had no intention of giving any pre-battle mobilization speech, suddenly opened his eyes.

Then, the Great Ghost Taoist Priest, Woling Tiezhai, walked up to him and whispered a few words in his ear.

After Yamamoto Genryusai calmly nodded, Gahirishi Tessai quickly returned to the gate. In no time, spatial ripples spread out, and the spiritual pressure of the Kido spread out like a tide. The huge gate opened, revealing the broken world inside.

This commotion naturally attracted everyone's attention.

The previously noisy square gradually quieted down.

At that moment, Yamamoto Genryusai tapped his cane heavily on the ground and announced, "The Hueco Mundo and Las Noches Extermination Operation begins! Everyone, follow me to Hueco Mundo in an orderly fashion!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yamamoto Genryusai led the first squad toward the gate, and then he was the first to step into the barrier.

Immediately afterwards, since the Second and Third Divisions had already gone, the Fourth Division followed behind Yamamoto Genryusai. Hana-nee was still as gentle and kind as ever. She turned around and smiled at everyone, then led the Fourth Division into the Transcendent Gate and disappeared into the Broken Realm.

Then, Shinji Hirako led the Fifth Division, Sojun Kuchiki led the Sixth Division, Isshin Shiba led the Seventh Division, Shunsui Kyoraku led the Eighth Division, and Bann, along with Shutara Senjumaru, Kenpachi Kuruyashiki, Hiyori Sarugaki, Jushiro Ukitake, and others, all entered the Transcendental Gate.

After the main force of the Gotei 13 had all entered, the Hughes, including Kuchiki Ginrin and Sujiba Seigen, who had been recruited by the special forces, began to lead the "civilian forces" into the interdimensional gate in an orderly manner.

The once densely packed Central Plaza quickly became empty as people moved around.

Finally, the Ghost Path followers entered together, and after the last one, Tetsuzai Goryu, went in, the gate to the next world immediately closed.

At this moment, Seireitei became unusually quiet and empty, like a deserted city.

On the contrary, the Rukongai outside the city walls remained noisy and bustling, and the large interdimensional gate that had been built near the White Gate of West Rukongai, leading to the Pure Land, was now closed.

The Twelfth Division has a Technology Development Bureau located at the deepest point of the twelfth underground level.

Aizen Sousuke, who should have been sitting in the Great Spirit Book Corridor, was now walking quietly in the dark corridor.

Upon reaching the end of the corridor, the ripples of the ghost path slowly dispersed, opening up what had been a dead end ahead.

It was an extremely large space, and at this moment, Orochimaru, Kisuke Urahara, and Mayuri Kurotsuchi were standing there.

"You've arrived?" Orochimaru said softly.

"Yes, the plan can begin," Aizen Sousuke nodded.

"Although theoretically our lack of ideas is not a problem, whether we can ultimately achieve the desired result is still unknown," Mayuri Kurotsuchi said with an evil smile.

"It's alright. Even if we fail to awaken Yhwach, we still have Kenpachi Kuruyashiki as an alternative," Aizen said calmly.

If Yhwach were to be resurrected and truly lead his Quincy remnants to seize this opportunity and infiltrate Seireitei, it would inevitably attract the attention of the Soul King's palace, and he might even actively head towards it.

In that case, we'll achieve multiple goals at once.

If the final plan doesn't go this way, there's still the option of sending Kenpachi Kuruyashiki to the Zero Division, although that would be a bit more troublesome.

Kisuke Urahara turned on the lights in the huge space, and what came into view was a dense array of incubation chambers, in which tens of thousands of Quincy clones were immersed.

With a ding, Mayuri Kurotsuchi pressed a button.

Subsequently, the incubation chambers lost power, which undoubtedly meant that the Quincy clones inside would quickly die.

And this is the sacrifice that awakens Yhwach!
