Hearing me say that, Yoruichi immediately twisted her hand around my waist and said, "You dare! If you leave me again, when you come back, hmph...! See how I deal with you!"

Hearing her say that, I murmured, "Really? Then I'm really looking forward to knowing how you're going to deal with me!" Then I fell into a daze.

Seeing that I hadn't responded for a while, Yoruichi immediately turned her body around in my arms and asked, "Silly boy, what are you thinking about!"

"Ah, I'm thinking about how I can marry both Captain Unohana and Rangiku!" I said to Yoruichi with a smile.

"You dare!" Yoruichi immediately pounced on me on the bed and said.

A moment later, I hugged Yoruichi tightly again and said, "Yoruichi, believe me! In this world, you are my only wife, and you will always be my only wife!"

Seeing my reaction, Yoruichi smiled sweetly and said, "What about them? They all love you just as much as I do. Am I being too selfish by keeping you all to myself?"

"No, you weren't selfish. It's all my fault. I can only apologize to them!" I said to Yoruichi with deep affection.

"God, with those words from you, I will never blame you no matter how many women you have in the future!"

"Fool, didn't I tell you! I only have one woman and wife in this world, and that is you, Yoruichi Shihouin!" After saying this, Yoruichi and I were immersed in this small happiness.

In the following period, Soul Society entered into intense preparations. In order to prepare for the upcoming battle and allow captain-level personnel to fight at full strength in Karakura Town, they ordered Urahara to create a huge interdimensional gate and a 'transfer barrier' in the human world. At the same time, in order to prevent Urahara's 'transfer barrier' from being discovered by outsiders after it was used, they ordered the Technology Development Bureau to create a replica of Karakura Town outside Soul Society.

Subsequently, the captains of the 4th, 5th, 6th, 11th and 12th Divisions were dispatched to Hueco Mundo to provide support. Thus, half of Soul Society's top combat power, led by me, prepared to advance towards Hueco Mundo.

On this side, Ulquiorra was blocking Ichigo's Zangetsu with one hand, so white spiritual pressure kept emanating from Zangetsu. Ichigo looked at Ulquiorra angrily and said, "As expected, Inoue didn't come to Hueco Mundo willingly!"

“I’m really surprised! Even though you came to rescue your companion, you still have some doubts about her, don’t you?” Ulquiorra said in a provocative tone.

"Do you know? It's all because of you that Inoue is being treated as a traitor!" Ichigo questioned.

“I think so too! If things hadn’t turned out that way, then it can only be said that we miscalculated!” Ulquiorra said provocatively.

"You bastard!" Ichigo said angrily.

"Have you found a reason to fight me?" Ulquiorra said calmly. As soon as he finished speaking, the spiritual pressure of the two of them lifted the surrounding land and stirred up a large cloud of dust.

As the dust settled, Ichigo stepped back and stared at Ulquiorra opposite him. He then said to Nel, who was in her child form behind him, "Nel, move a little further away!"

Why is Nel here? Because when I returned to Soul Society, I sent Nel, wearing a Gigai (artificial body), back to Hueco Mundo. I had her pretend to be a powerless Arrancar after meeting Ichigo, guiding him into Las Noches. She was to stay with Ichigo and the others and help him at crucial moments. I also told Ulquiorra and the others about Nel's identity and situation!

The scene shifts, and Ichigo, holding Zangetsu, looks at Ulquiorra in front of him and says with a smile, "Looks like this guy isn't planning on letting me pass so easily!"

Chapter 115 Flying Together

Ulquiorra watched as Ichigo unleashed his crimson spiritual pressure without intervening, because Ichigo's spiritual pressure once again stirred up smoke and dust that obscured his vision. Suddenly, Ichigo leaped into the air, and because of his incredible speed, the surrounding smoke and dust formed a long column of smoke. At that moment, Ulquiorra also saw the mask that Ichigo had previously worn to conceal his vision with the smoke and dust. Ulquiorra immediately showed a surprised expression.

As Ichigo ascended into the air, he immediately unleashed a blood-red slash. Ulquiorra, with a look of disdain in his eyes, stretched out his right hand to block the slash, which was formed from spiritual energy. However, the slash vanished instantly after being blocked by Ulquiorra, and Ichigo, wearing a mask, appeared above Ulquiorra. At the same time, he brought down Zangetsu with all his might, and the floor beneath Ulquiorra's feet instantly cracked into a spiderweb pattern due to the force of the blow.

Ulquiorra sensed the immense power of Ichigo's attack and hastily deflected it, but the remaining force still sent Ulquiorra flying, smashing through several massive stone pillars within Las Noches. After breaking several pillars, Ulquiorra twisted his body in mid-air, using one foot to push off a pillar and dissipate the momentum. That pillar, too, suffered the same fate as the others that had been broken earlier.

As Ulquiorra was wondering about Ichigo's form and power, Ichigo shouted "Getsuga Tenshou!" and his full-force attack followed. A red spiritual pressure with a powerful aura attacked Ulquiorra, who had just regained his footing!

Upon seeing this power, Ulquiorra, as before, kept one hand in his pocket, ready to block the attack. The tangible slash seemed to be wrestling with Ulquiorra, the immense force of which forced him to retreat continuously. Realizing he couldn't withstand the power with one hand, and while astonished by Ichigo's strength, Ulquiorra finally used both hands. After Ulquiorra used both hands, Ichigo's slash burst open like a balloon, the powerful spiritual pressure instantly destroying everything around Ulquiorra and creating a large cloud of smoke.

After Ichigo unleashed his strongest attack, his mask shattered, and fragments fell from his face. Just as Ichigo thought he had defeated his opponent, a figure slowly rose from the smoke—it was Ulquiorra, whom Ichigo believed to have been killed or severely injured by Getsuga Tenshou! Ichigo exclaimed in surprise, "How could this be…!"

"Oh dear, you used both hands and still couldn't completely block it, that's a bit surprising! Was that your full power just now?" Ulquiorra, whose clothes were a bit torn but who wasn't injured at all, said calmly to Ichigo. After speaking, Ulquiorra looked at Ichigo's surprised expression and sneered, "Hmph! It seems so!" With that, he raised his hand and said, "What a pity!" Then, a powerful 'Cero' attacked Ichigo.

In the Soul Society, in the Fifth Division Captain's office, I looked at Rangiku, who was drinking with Yoruichi, and said, "Rangiku, I don't mind you drinking in my squad, but you can't drag my wife to drink with you! And you definitely can't have my lieutenant pouring drinks for you!"

After taking a sip of the drink Hinamori poured for her, Rangiku laughed and said, "Don't be like that! Captain Kuchiki, I'm here to see you off! You're going to Hueco Mundo soon!"

“Yes, Captain! Rangiku-san meant well!” Hinamori said with a smile.

Yoruichi nodded and said, "Yeah! Hey, why don't you have a drink too?" "No, thank you! Rangiku, come out here for a second!" Rangiku followed me out, puzzled. After we reached the captain's meditation room, I asked Rangiku to sit opposite me and slowly said, "Rangiku, do you know why I asked you to come here?"

When I asked Rangiku this, she lazily replied, "I don't know!"

"Really? Then I'll just say it directly!" I said.

"what?"

"I don't want to hurt you anymore," I said bluntly.

"What does this mean?" Rangiku asked, pretending not to understand what I was saying.

"It's nothing special. I hope we'll have the chance to drink together like we used to in the future."

"Then you can drink with me to your heart's content today."

"Alright, I'll drink with you until you're satisfied!" I said, taking out more than a dozen jars of wine, each at least two thousand years old, from my storage ring and placing them in front of her.

When Rangiku saw me suddenly bring out so much sake, she didn't seem surprised and picked up one of the jars to drink. I smiled at her and then picked up a jar to drink as well. For some reason, I didn't use flames to evaporate the alcohol in the sake today, and Rangiku and I drank together.

As I drank... I found that I wasn't getting drunk after just a few sips like usual; instead, I felt more and more energetic. As we drank, Yoruichi came looking for me and saw Rangiku and me having a drinking contest. After a slight surprise, she joined in. Then, Kyoraku, who had somehow appeared, smelled the aroma of our sake and sat down to drink as well. However, seeing us drinking from jar after jar, he exclaimed how wasteful it was, but after a few sips, he joined us. A dozen or so jars of sake were quickly finished. I immediately took out a dozen more jars from my ring, repeating this several times. Kyoraku discovered my secret; his gaze towards my ring was nothing short of greedy. However, he knew he couldn't get the ring from me, so he used the excuse of going to the restroom to haul away my sake jar by jar. He really was 'getting what he deserved'!

Rangiku finally got drunk. I picked her up and put her in our captain's lounge. After I settled her down, Yoruichi stood behind me and asked, "God, do you really think you can relax now?"

Without turning my head, I said, "Yoruichi, this is all I can do!" After saying that, I pulled Yoruichi and prepared to leave, but just as I reached the door, I felt a wave of dizziness and then collapsed into Yoruichi's arms.

After I lost consciousness, I felt as if I had fallen into a furnace, my whole body was burning hot, and my throat felt like it was on fire. I desperately tried to find a cool place to rest, and I kept searching...

The next day, when I opened my eyes, I found Yoruichi sleeping in my arms. Looking at her expression, I unconsciously reached out and stroked her face. At that moment, I felt two soft mounds pressed tightly against my back, and above those mounds, there seemed to be two protrusions. Yoruichi often gave me this feeling, but since I was holding her in my arms, what was behind me? With this question in mind, I carefully looked around. I was certain that this was not my room at the Kuchiki residence, but my team's rest room. In other words, I turned around and saw Rangiku lying beside me. I quickly pulled back the blanket covering us, and a striking flower appeared before me. I was completely stunned. I never expected that in less than a month, I would have to shoulder the emotional debt of another woman.

Because of my movements, Rangiku and Yoruichi both woke up. Yoruichi looked at me with amusement, while Rangiku stared blankly at the marks on the sheets. I didn't know what to say, so I just kept quiet.

Time slowly passed, and Rangiku finally moved. She found her clothes among the chores next to her, then silently put them on and prepared to go outside. Seeing her awkward walking posture as she walked out, I guessed it was because of me, so I immediately rushed over and hugged her.

Rangiku, whom I was holding in my arms, paused for a moment and said, "Why won't you let me leave?"

Hearing her say that, I immediately hugged her tighter and said, "Go, where do you want to go? Is my woman, Xiu Mu Tian's woman, so worthless? You actually want to leave!"

Chapter 116 Nel's Battle

Just as Rangiku was basking in this rare happiness, Hinamori's voice came from outside the lounge: "Um... Captain! Preparations for the trip to Hueco Mundo are complete. The Captain-Commander orders you to depart immediately!"

"I understand! I'll be right there!" Although I was reluctant, I had to answer like that. After saying that, I said to Rangiku in my arms, "I'm sorry, Rangiku!" Then I let go of her and walked to Yoruichi, saying, "I'm sorry, Yoruichi!"

Yoruichi, seeing me like this, laughed and said, "Idiot!"

"Just consider me one of them!" I said, turning and walking out of the lounge. As I left, I met Hinamori's curious gaze. I immediately smiled, patted her head, and said, "Hinamori, I'll be trotting out work for you this time!"

Hinamori stammered immediately, "Ah... um... why didn't the captain take me with him?"

"Yes! Hinamori, there's still a lot of work here that needs your help!" I replied with a smile.

Although I had used Shunpo to travel after saying goodbye to Hinamori, I was still the last to arrive at the gate. Kenpachi, Unohana, Byakuya, and Mayuri Kurotsuchi were all ready. Except for Byakuya and me, who did not bring our lieutenants, the other three had their lieutenants with them.

Kenpachi, seeing me arrive, immediately said, "So slow! Oh my god." No sooner had he finished speaking than Yachiru poked her little face out from behind his shoulder and said, "Yeah! So slow! Little Yachiru."

"Sorry, something came up and I was held up!" I said with a smile.

Kenpachi immediately said, "Hurry up! I want to fight those Arrancars as soon as possible, hahaha... I heard from Ikkaku and the others that those guys are very strong, especially the Espada and such."

"Alright, we can go now!" I said with a smile.

After I finished speaking, Kenpachi led 8600 inside first, followed by Mayuri Kurotsuchi and Unohana with their lieutenants. Byakuya and I walked in together, and as we went in, I said, "Byakuya, the clan will depend on you from now on!"

Byakuya immediately looked at me in surprise and said, "Brother Ten..."

"Hehe... because I'm too lazy to explain." I laughed loudly, seeing Byakuya's puzzled expression.

In Hueco Mundo, at the palace of the Ninth Espada, Rukia was chatting happily with Kaien on the tatami mats. Rukia asked in confusion, "Lord Kaien, why are you here? Your attire looks like that of an Arrancar! Could it be that Lord Kaien is...?"

“That’s right, Kuchiki! I am an Arrancar and one of the Espada. My current body is a combination of Hollow and Shinigami. I possess the power of a Shinigami as well as the power of a Hollow!” Kaien said.

"Espada! How could this be?" Rukia exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't be so surprised, Kuchiki. The reason I became like this is because of that Hollow. That Hollow was Aizen's experimental subject. After being destroyed, it would be sent to Hueco Mundo for reconstruction. That's how I was resurrected. At the same time, after being resurrected, I also gained the title of Espada. In order to find a way to destroy Aizen, I have been hiding my true identity and serving Aizen!"

Hearing Kaien say that, Rukia immediately blamed herself, "I'm sorry, Lady Kaien, if it weren't for me..." Before she could finish speaking, Kaien placed her hand on Rukia's head and said, "Are you an idiot? Kuchiki! I'm not blaming you anymore, why are you still blaming yourself?"

“Yes, Lady Seagull…!” Rukia said hastily.

On the other side, Ichigo in his Hollowfied state was fighting Grimmjow, whose strength had increased and who was now in his Resurrección state. If Grimmjow's strength was the same as in the original story, then his current strength was completely overwhelming Ichigo. However, with Inoue's encouragement, Ichigo's momentum surged, and his strength increased like a burst of cosmos, making the two almost evenly matched. In the end, the two fought to a draw, with Ichigo exhausting all his spiritual energy and suffering minor injuries, while Grimmjow had a wound that could be fatal.

Then Nnoitra, one of the Espada, appeared. After arrogantly revealing himself as the 50th Espada, he was about to kick someone when they were down when he saw Nel, who was wearing a child-like Gigai (artificial body). Incidentally, Nel's Gigai had been modified to resemble her pre-restored form. He immediately said, "You...you're Nel, right?" Upon hearing this, Ichigo, who was standing weakly to the side, immediately showed a puzzled expression. Seeing Ichigo's expression, Nnoitra immediately said, "What?! I was wondering how this girl ended up here. So you brought her! You...you still don't know who this girl is and you're just running around with her like that!"

"What...does this mean?" Ichigo asked with difficulty.

“If you don’t know, then I’ll tell you! This guy’s name is Nel, Nelielu-du-Odshuvank is a former Espada!” Nnoitra said with a smile. After speaking, he kicked Nel aside, walked up to Ichigo, picked up Ichigo who had lost his fighting ability, grabbed one of his arms and tried to break it.

Suddenly, a strong spiritual pressure came from behind Nnoitra. After feeling this spiritual pressure, Nnoitra unconsciously dropped Ichigo and turned around. He saw Nel standing behind him, wearing white clothes similar to those she wore when she was an Espada, holding a Zanpakuto.

Her long, light green hair fluttered in the wind, and her indifferent gaze made Nnoitra feel as if he had returned to his former self. Then, Nnoitra grinned and said, "You've returned to this form, haven't you! Nelliel." Before he finished speaking, Nelliel vanished from his sight and reappeared beside Ichigo. Nnoitra hurriedly swung his scythe, but Nelliel, after grabbing Ichigo, immediately used 'Sonic Swing' to disappear beneath his scythe, then reappeared nearly a hundred meters away from Nnoitra and gently set him down. Seeing this, Nnoitra couldn't help but curse, "You bastard…!"

After Nel put Ichigo down, Ichigo looked at Nel in surprise and said, "Nel, are you really Nel?"

Nel looked at Ichigo and said with a smile, "Yes, Nel! I'm sorry, Ichigo, for causing you so much trouble before, so I want to repay you!" After saying that, she stood up and blocked Ichigo's way.

Seeing Nel standing in front of him, Ichigo hurriedly said, "Wait, Nel, you said you wanted to repay... You're not planning to fight that Fiftieth Espada, are you?!"

When Nel asked him that, she immediately turned around and said, "No problem, it will be over soon!" As soon as she finished speaking, a gust of wind blew up Nel's beautiful light green hair, revealing her bare back, where a large number '3' appeared in front of Ichigo's eyes.

Ichigo: "Why is Nel's back exposed?"

Yoruichi: "That was something a shameless guy did while preparing clothes for the innocent Nel."

"Achoo!"

Byakuya: "Brother Ten, what's wrong?"

Unohana: "Captain Kuchiki, are you sick? Let me take a look at you!"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi: "For someone with such formidable strength to fall ill, perhaps there's some exciting virus that we might discover!"

Kenpachi: "Are you saying you're... going to fight me to the death?!"

Kuchiki Ten: "Perhaps someone is talking badly about me!"

Chapter 117 Return to Hueco Mundo

After arriving in the human world, Urahara created four 'black cavities' to send us to four different areas of Hueco Mundo. In order to meet Nel as soon as possible and to save the seriously injured Grimmjow, I chose to enter the same black cavity as Kenpachi. After entering, I found that this was very different from the 'black cavity' that Ichigo and the others had used before, because Ichigo and the others used spiritual energy to pave their own path, while the path inside the 'black cavity' that Kenpachi and I used was already paved.

In Hueco Mundo, the fight between Nel and Nnoitra was not much different from the original story, except that Nel was slightly stronger than in the original. Caught off guard, she was overwhelmed by Nnoitra and had no chance to fight back. Finally, Nnoitra's subordinate, Dessler, took the seriously injured Ichigo hostage to make Nel stop. After Nel stopped, Nnoitra immediately punched the stationary Nel away and laughed loudly, "You can't beat me, Nelliel!" After saying that, he swung the scythe in his hand down at Nel.

"Clang!" A hand blocked Neutra's great scythe, and the sound of metal clashing was the sound of the scythe striking the palm.

Neutra stared in astonishment at the Grim Reaper who had blocked his scythe with a single hand and asked, "Who... are you?"

"Who are you? Of course, it's the people who came to kill you!" I said with a smile, gripping the blade of my sickle.

“What a boastful tone, Death!” Neutra immediately laughed.
