I frowned and appeared beside Aizen with a Shunpo. Upon seeing me, Aizen hurriedly asked, "Captain Kuchiki, what should we do?"

I immediately shouted, "Shrink the defensive range immediately!" As I spoke, all the Gillian began to gather their power at the same time, and the red 'Cero' was ready to be fired. Under Adjuchas's command, the red 'Cero' shot towards our location.

The power of the Cero immediately stirred up a large cloud of dust on the grass, forming a yellowish-brown smoke that obscured the vision of all the Hollows. Seeing this, Carnlock laughed and said, "With so many Cero attacks from Adjuchas and Kylian, those Shinigami should be dead by now!"

Upon hearing this, Ulquiorra immediately said indifferently, "Idiot!"

Then, from within the thick fog formed by dust, Aizen's voice rang out: "Scattered beast bone spires, crimson crystal... Mask of flesh and blood, myriad forms, flapping wings, those who bear the name of man... The wheels of steel move like the wind, still as a clear sky, the sound of machine guns fills the void city... Carve the twin lotuses on the wall of blue fire, awaiting the great fire in the distant sky! Hado 63 Thunder Roar Cannon... Hado 73 Twin Lotus Blue Fire Fall." This was a double incantation, and the golden thunder roar cannon and blue flames instantly dispersed the smoke formed by dust in front of us, while also forcing away the several Adjuchas surrounding the inner circle on our left.

The instant Adjuchas stepped back, he saw me standing beside Aizen, my hands clasped together, a huge golden ball of spiritual energy gathering in the center. Upon seeing me and Aizen, Kahnlock immediately shouted, "Impossible! How can he still be alive!"

At that moment, I shouted, "Phantom Flash!" and a golden beam of light shot out from my hand. The golden Phantom Flash was like an indestructible sword; any Hollows that blocked its path, whether Gillian or Adjuchas, were instantly pierced through and turned into spiritual particles in the air. With this single strike, I carved a path to survival within the Hollows' encirclement. Before the Hollows could react, and before Gillian could reform their encirclement, I used six more advanced binding techniques, "Void Severing," to separate Gillian, creating an escape route within them.

After completing a series of actions, I immediately turned around and shouted at Death behind me, "Retreat now! Quickly!"

The Shinigami immediately responded with a "Yes!" and then quickly fled through the escape route that Aizen and I had created. One of the Shinigami, holding a sword, stood beside Aizen and me and said, "Captain Kuchiki, Lieutenant Aizen, you should leave too?"

Aizen immediately said, "You guys escape first, Captain Kuchiki and I will cover your retreat!" After saying that, he stood together with his sword drawn and used more than a dozen Red Fire Cannons without chanting to buy time for the Shinigami to escape! Seeing that we were doing this, the Shinigami didn't ask any more questions and ran away.

After the last member escaped, I took off the 'Silver-White Wind Flower Garment' that only Kuchiki's heir could wear around my neck and handed it to Aizen, saying, "Give this to my grandfather! Tell him I disappointed him! Quickly!" With that, I pushed him towards the path of survival that we had created together.

Aizen, holding my 'Silver White Wind Flower Garment', looked at me anxiously and asked, "Captain Kuchiki, why didn't we retreat together!"

I immediately swung my sword to force back an Adjuchas, then turned around and said with a smile, "As a member of the Rottingwood Clan, the honor I bear does forbids me from doing such a thing!" As I spoke, a bolt of lightning shot from my fingertip and struck the mask of a certain unlucky Hollow.

Upon hearing my words, Aizen showed a pained expression and said, "I understand! You must come back alive, Captain Kuchiki!" With that, he used Shunpo to move to the end of the passage.

After Aizen escaped, I released the spiritual power that had been maintaining the Binding Spell 'Danku', and the natural barrier formed by the sandstorm disappeared. When Karnlock saw that I was the only one left in the encirclement, he immediately laughed and said, "A few little mice escaped, but there's still one left!"

Hearing him say that, I just frowned and said, "Is that so? Then who's the little mouse?" As I spoke, I unleashed dozens of white, crescent-shaped sword energies with my Zanpakuto, killing nearly a hundred Gillian in a single strike. I didn't stop there, using Shunpo to weave through the Gillian horde. Basically, every time I revealed myself, a Gillian would die under my blade.

Seeing the heavy losses suffered by the Kylian under his command, Kahnlock immediately sneered, "Fool! You're just wasting your spiritual energy doing this. Kill him!" At Kahnlock's command, all the Kylian actually retreated, and the Adjuchas all rushed forward.

Seeing the Adjuchas rushing up from all directions, I slowly held my Zanpakuto upright in front of me and softly chanted, "Annihilation of the Ten Directions." After saying that, I instantly transformed into four people, each standing on one side, and simultaneously swung my Zanpakuto. One became ten, ten became a hundred, a hundred became a thousand... Countless sword energies formed an incredibly dense golden net that enveloped me. After a sudden contraction, it transformed back into countless sword energies and spread outwards, like fireworks blooming in the night sky, enveloping all the Adjuchas that rushed up, and then quickly disappeared.

After the light pierced through his body, an Adjuchas with a goat's head, without noticing anything amiss, immediately burst into laughter, saying, "What is this? Haha... It's completely useless! Death!"

As they were talking, one of them, Adjuchas, who was feeling unwell, involuntarily screamed, "What's wrong with my body... I feel so bloated! Waaaaaah..."

Accompanied by the screams of all the Adjuchas, countless rays of light burst forth from their bodies, and they exploded like fireworks, then turned into spiritual particles in the air.

Seeing this bizarre scene, Kahnlock stared at me, still standing in the middle, his pupils shrinking rapidly with fear. Noticing his gaze, I immediately turned around, gave him a smile, and then vanished from my spot, standing behind Kahnlock.

Sensing me behind him, Kahnlock immediately broke out in a sweat. He then used 'Sonic Spin' to move behind me and created a green Cero in his hand. The moment I turned around, he attacked me head-on. The green Cero struck me, creating a violent explosion. The powerful blast instantly kicked up the sand and gravel on the ground.

Carnelock remained in the pose of launching a 'Cero Flash', looking at me who had taken the hit head-on, and said, "Haha... How about that! Death, do you know how powerful I am now!" But just as he was laughing, a hand emerged from the smoke in front of him and pointed at his head.

At that moment, all he could hear was me saying in a cold voice, "You don't even deserve to let me use my Zanpakuto!" After I finished speaking, a golden Spirit Flash shot out from my hand and shattered his head into pieces.

After I killed Carnlock, I turned to Ulquiorra, who had been standing there motionless, and said, "Was he really Vastod? He was utterly pathetic!"

Ulquiorra's eyes immediately showed a hint of surprise, because his eyes told him that he had indeed taken a Cero from Carnock head-on, but he was completely unharmed. He began to think about his true strength, but still answered aloud, "He has only just become a Vasto Lorde, and his strength is only slightly stronger than that of Biachukas!"

As soon as Ulquiorra finished speaking, I immediately smiled and said, "Is that so! So... you're much stronger than him! Are you interested in... becoming my subordinate, and I will grant you even greater power!" As I spoke, I instantly unleashed all my power.

Although it was only a moment, it felt incredibly long to Ulquiorra. He could no longer remain calm. He had never known what terror was before, and for the first time, he knew what terror felt like. In the face of that power, he had no chance to resist.

Then I said again, "So! Do you want to be my subordinate?"

Ulquiorra glanced at me, then knelt before me, saying in his detached voice, "I swear by my very soul that I will forever be loyal to..."

"Kuchiki Ten! My name in this life!"

"I will forever be loyal to Lord Kuchiki Ten! If I break this oath, my true spirit will vanish into nothingness!"

Chapter 88 He's still alive

Soul Society

Aizen handed Byakuya the silver-white wind-flower gauze and a piece of cloth marked with the number "six" that he had found after arriving at the scene, saying, "As per Captain Kuchiki's orders, I am giving you this. Also, this is the last thing I found on the battlefield belonging to Captain Kuchiki, Lieutenant Kuchiki!"

With trembling hands, Kuchiki Byakuya slowly took the last 'relic' of the silver-white wind flower from Aizen's hands, then looked at Aizen and said with feigned calmness, "Thank you!" After saying that, he turned and left. Aizen looked at Kuchiki Byakuya's back and first showed a sad expression, then slowly pushed up his glasses. But if you could see his expression at this moment, you would find that he was smiling.

At this moment, Yoruichi Shihouin had already learned of my death from Aizen. She was immediately stunned and slumped down in the captain's seat. She had already suffered two blows: the first was the separation of more than 30 years, and the second was hearing the news of my death.

When the other captains learned of my death, everyone was shocked. Kenpachi Zaraki said angrily, "That guy can't just die like that, otherwise he'll become...!" Captains such as Jushiro Ukitake, Shunsui Kyoraku, and Shinji Hirako all showed expressions of disbelief. Only Urahara had a relaxed expression, and then he revealed a strange smile.

In the secret underground base shared by Yoruichi, Urahara, and me, a haggard-looking Yoruichi was drinking heavily from a bottle of alcohol. Judging from the numerous empty bottles around her, she had been drinking for a long time. Just as she was about to throw an empty bottle behind her, a hand caught it in mid-air. Urahara, smiling broadly, looked at the bottle in his hand and said, "That was close! I almost got hit!" He then walked over to Yoruichi, sat cross-legged, placed the bottle on the ground, and looked at the bottles surrounding her, saying, "Wow, so many! Doesn't that guy hate you drinking the most? Drinking like that...aren't you afraid he won't dare marry you when he comes back?"

Yoruichi stopped holding the sake bottle with her right hand, tears streaming down her face. She looked at Kisuke Urahara and said, "Kisuke... what do you mean? Fine, I won't marry him, as long as he comes back... that's enough!" With that, she tilted her head back and drank.

Seeing Yoruichi drinking heavily, Kisuke Urahara immediately revealed a nonchalant smile and said, "He's alive...he's still alive!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yoruichi rushed in front of him, grabbed his collar, and demanded fiercely, "Tell me! What happened! Tell me..."

Kisuke Urahara immediately waved his hand with a smile and said, "Calm down... calm down... calm down, Yoruichi!! How am I supposed to talk to you like this!"

Hearing this, Yoruichi immediately released his collar, then placed her hand on his shoulder and asked anxiously, "Tell me quickly, what exactly happened! You said Ten isn't dead? Is that true?" Yoruichi repeated her question.

Seeing Yoruichi's somewhat haggard appearance, Kisuke Urahara's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a serious expression. "Well, he's not dead yet! I gave him a recorder when he set off. It can record the spiritual pressure of Hollows killed by their holders, thus calculating the number of Hollows killed and effectively recording the Gods' achievements. But... besides recording data, it has another function: determining whether the holder is dead! So... that guy, Yoruichi, isn't dead yet!" After saying this, Urahara noticed Yoruichi's body begin to tremble. Thinking she was overjoyed, he immediately asked with a smile, "How about it? Aren't you surprised? Aren't you... ugh!" Before he could finish speaking, Kisuke Urahara was sent flying by a powerful punch from Yoruichi.

Yoruichi kept her fist clenched, her whole body radiating visible flames, with red and white spiritual energy swirling around her. She slowly said, "...Kisuke! Why...why didn't you tell me sooner!" As she spoke, she clenched one hand into the other, making a 'crunching' sound.

Urahara, who had just sat up from the ground, saw Yoruichi in this state and immediately said in a trembling voice, "Calm down... calm down, please let me... explain!"

Yoruichi maintained her previous demeanor, looking at the terrified Kisuke Urahara, and said in an unchanged tone, "Explain...explain now!"

Urahara breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and quickly said, "Actually, he told me not to say anything. After I handed him the recorder, he told me that if Aizen brought back news of his death, but the recorder still showed that he was alive, then I shouldn't reveal it!" After saying that, Urahara paused for a moment, then looked at Yoruichi cautiously and continued, "Since he arranged it this way, there must be some necessary reason, which is why I'm telling you now!"

After hearing his explanation, Yoruichi loosened her clenched fist, and the flames and red and white spiritual energy on her body dissipated. However, just when Urahara thought everything was alright, Yoruichi used Shunpo to move in front of him and stomped on him. As she stomped, Yoruichi cursed, "You think this is the end of it! Idiot... Kisuke!" Then came Urahara's screams and pleas for mercy.

Thus, the position of captain of the Sixth Division remained vacant until ten years later, when Byakuya, through the recommendation of the six captains, officially became the captain of the Sixth Division and succeeded me as the heir to the Kuchiki family. Two years later, Shinji Hirako, along with the captains and vice-captains, were forced to flee Soul Society under Aizen's machinations, disguised as Visoreds, and with Urahara's help. Urahara, falsely accused of experimenting with the Hogyoku, was sentenced to death by the Central 46 Chambers, but later escaped Soul Society with Yoruichi's help. Their captaincy was then taken over by their vice-captains, Soi Fon and Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

Time flies, and only about thirty years have passed since the beginning of the story...

虚圈

Just as Nel and I were playing hide-and-seek, Ulquiorra, with his Zanpakuto tucked into his waistband and now in his first appearance in the manga, appeared behind me using 'Seiten'. He immediately knelt on the ground and said in his calm tone, "Lord Kuchiki Ten, the Hollow that Aizen used for experiments has been rebuilt in Hueco Mundo. I brought it here as you commanded!" After saying that, he took out an item that sealed something and handed it to me.

I laughed as I put down Nel, who was riding on my head, took the item from his hand, and then broke the seal, releasing the Hollow's soul that had devoured Shiba Kaien and taken his form. I then drew two mysterious runes in the sky and whispered, "Resurrection!" The runes then emitted a bright light and merged into the Hollow's body. Soon, the Hollow's body rapidly transformed, becoming the appearance of Shiba Kaien.

After finishing, I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank goodness I didn't forget!" Then I sealed Shiba Kaien, who had regained his spirit form, back into his seal and said to Ulquiorra, "Send him back before Aizen finds out! Also, call Harribel and Grimmjow over; I have something to announce!"

Ulquiorra took the object from my hand, placed his hand on his chest in a gesture of respect, and said, "I understand, Lord Kuchiki Ten!" With that, he vanished before my eyes in a flash.

After Ulquiorra left, I squatted down and said to Nel, who was hugging my leg and looking at me with a puzzled expression, "I'm sorry, Nel! I'm afraid I can't play games with you anymore! I have something important to do and I have to leave here for a while."

"What? Why? Why is Tian leaving? Does Tian hate Nilu? Did Nilu make Tian angry?" Nilu exclaimed excitedly as soon as she heard that I was leaving.

"No! It's just that I have something I have to do. I promise you, I will definitely come back to find Nilu in the future!" I quickly comforted her.

"really?"

"Really!" I said confidently, then turned to her two subordinates and said, "While I'm away, you two will be in charge of taking care of Nel. But... if you dare to teach Nel any strange knowledge, I'll kill you!" I said the last part in a murderous voice, which startled them.

Chapter 89 Renji Abarai

After I said goodbye to Nel, Ulquiorra brought Halibel and Grimmjow to me. Grimmjow, like in the original story, had a bone mask on his face that resembled teeth. Halibel, however, was different from the original story. Originally, she wore clothes that exposed her waist and lower body and completely covered her eyes, but now she was dressed in a completely revealing outfit. Her beautiful face, the clothes that exposed most of her chest, and the bone collar around her neck all gave people a sense of flirtation.

I looked at the three 'people' kneeling in front of me and slowly said, "Aizen's actions have begun to accelerate, so I'm preparing to return to Soul Society. The reason I called you here... is to seal your power!" After I finished speaking, Harribel and Grimmjow were clearly stunned for a moment.

Grimmjow immediately asked in confusion, "My Lord! Please forgive my rudeness, but why seal away the power of my subordinates? Are our powers useless to you?"

Seeing Grimmjow's puzzled expression, I immediately said, "I'm doing this simply to give you even greater power!"

"Even stronger power?"

I smiled and continued, "Yes! Although I used Kido on you to prevent others from discovering your true forms, Aizen's power can still see through it! That's why I told you to minimize your contact with him. You are 'Hollows' possessing the power of Zanpakuto, a level that Aizen has always sought to achieve. Although he has created such Hollows, they are merely incomplete and flawed. If he discovers your true forms now, it will affect my future plans! Therefore, I have temporarily sealed your power, allowing you to temporarily return to your previous forms! However, this seal will be broken by Aizen in the future using the 'Hogyoku' as a medium. At that time, your power will not only recover to its current strength, but also, because of the seal, you will receive even stronger power bestowed upon you by me."

"Lord Kuchiki Ten, are you saying that our power will be strengthened again?" Ulquiorra asked casually from the side.

I smiled and nodded, then said to the three of them, "Extend your right hands, and I will bestow upon you new power!" I drew a talisman on each of their outstretched right hands and said, "This will double your 'Cero.' After Aizen breaks your seals, do not use your full strength in front of him. Except for Ulquiorra, use only 7% of your power. Therefore, to prevent you from revealing your true strength due to the enemy's overwhelming power, you can use the power I just bestowed upon you to overcome difficulties. Ulquiorra can only use a maximum of 6% of his power in front of him… Do you understand?" With that, I unleashed a spiritual pressure approximately ten times that of a captain-level individual.

“Understood…!” the three answered in unison.

"Then close your eyes, I'm going to begin the sealing!"

After sealing the Zanpakuto powers of Ulquiorra, Halibel, and Grimmjow, the three 'people' returned to their previous forms. Because Halibel is a Vasto Lorde, she didn't change much, except that her mask fell off a little. As for Grimmjow, since he was about to evolve into a Vasto Lorde, he was in a half-leopard, half-human form.

Grimmjow looked at his claws and couldn't help but say, "This feeling... is really too weak!"

I smiled slightly and said, "You can go back now!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Ulquiorra and Grimmjow immediately responded with a "Yes!" and disappeared before my eyes using "Sound Wave." Only Halibel, who had returned to her original form, remained. She looked at me and slowly said, "Kuchiki... Lord Ten, you...!"

I looked at Halibel with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's wrong, Halibel? Are you blaming me for making you the way you are now?"

"No! Lord Kuchiki Ten... I'm just wondering, Lord Kuchiki Ten, you clearly possess such great power, why... do you care about such a weak Aizen!"

I smiled slightly, looking at the sky above the Hueco Mundo with its full moon, and said, "Hehe... Harribel, you're wrong. It's not him I truly care about! As for what I care about... you'll understand someday!" After saying that, I turned around, slowly walked up to her, and kissed her lips (if you could call them lips) that looked incredibly ugly. Then I whispered, "Goodbye, Harribel!" and disappeared from Harribel's sight.

After I left, something around where I had been standing seemed to crack. It was the barrier I had been using to isolate spiritual pressure. Only Harribel was left standing there, touching her lips in a daze.

Soul Society, White Path Gate

Holding a large battle axe, Jidanbo looked at the man in front of him wearing a hat similar to that of Kyoraku Shunsui and said mockingly, "Too bad, without a pass, you are not allowed to pass through here! If you want to get through... you must defeat me, the gatekeeper!"

Inside the gate, several strangely dressed Grim Reapers chatted. Grim Reaper A said, "I never expected there would be someone trying to enter Seireitei without a pass! A Ryouka?"

Death God B: "Yes! But he's really unlucky. It just so happens that the Sidanfang is in a bad mood. If it were any other time, he might have escaped this time!"

Death God C: "Yeah! Who told him to face the hero Ichikan-saka Jitanbo, who has guarded this place for hundreds of years!"

Just as the Grim Reapers were chatting animatedly, Bai Daomen had already been carried up by Si Danfang. The guy they thought had been beaten beyond recognition was standing perfectly fine beside him. Si Danfang respectfully invited him in, stammering, "It's...it's really...my rudeness..."

All the Shinigami were stunned, but after a moment, they all drew their Zanpakuto. The Shinigami in front said, "Although we don't know how you got Jidanbo to let you in, now that we've seen it, we won't let you in. Just give up and stop resisting!"

Upon hearing the Grim Reaper's words, Si Danfang immediately exclaimed, "You bunch of bastards, how dare you...!"

Hiding my face under the brim of my hat, I immediately broke into a smile and said, "Alright, Sidanfang! It's been a long time since I've been back. I wonder what the strength of the team members is like now. Since they are his subordinates, I think they should let me enjoy the fun of fighting! Hey... all of you come at me together!"

As soon as I finished speaking, the extra A with the spiky hair immediately shouted, "What?! How dare you look down on us...!"

The rooster-haired extra B immediately nodded and said, "We are members of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13, the strongest combat unit..." As soon as I finished speaking, this group of people angrily rushed up.

Seeing the group of people rushing towards me, I immediately smiled and said, "He looks just like him!" As I spoke, I punched the spiky-haired guy at the front of the group, and war was about to break out.

A moment later, the plaza inside the White Gate was littered with the bodies of the Grim Reapers. I couldn't help but shake my head and say, "That guy's men are getting worse and worse!" As I spoke, I turned to Si Tanfang, who was standing behind me, and said, "Si Tanfang, I'm heading to the First Division. I'm leaving this place to you!"

Si Tanfang immediately nodded and said, "I understand, Xiu..." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice: "Wait!"
