The previous mission has changed, and the number of the Zero Squad mission has also been marked.

It's clear that the system's task functions are still in the process of learning and evolving.

'The teleportation is over. The Tsunayoshiro family only has this much spiritual energy. And this is considered the source of cholera at some point?'

Sasuke checked the message transmitted back by the shadow clone. They had tallied up the spiritual particles that the Tsunayoshi family had transformed into, and it was still less than that of a single Ukitake Jushiro.

[Host, Ukitake Jushiro is the Soul King's entire arm. You're comparing him to a clan that will be wiped out by Tsunayoshiro Tokinada in the future. Are you looking down on the Soul King?]

The system couldn't help but complain as well.

Don't underestimate Jushiro Ukitake, who's always coughing; his strength has never been weak.

'System, when did you learn your吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for complaining/criticizing) attribute?'

Sasuke smiled, not caring about Ukitake Jushiro or the Soul King's arm. What he wanted to know was, "System, you can actually make sarcastic remarks now? Have you realized the seriousness of the matter?"

Sure enough, after Sasuke finished speaking, the system ignored him again.

After looking around at the temporary space, Sasuke slowly disassembled and destroyed the previous transmitters one by one, and then retracted the last remaining chakra into his body.

After dismantling the space, he tidied himself up, dismantled the space, and gradually returned it to the original size of the pit.

"I'm back, Ashura..."

Sasuke had no concept of time in that space. After finishing his work, he was about to approach Ashura when he saw an Arrancar outside the Illusionary Sound Barrier.

Is this a Barragán design?

Why did Barragan come knocking on my door after I dug a hole in the mortal world to bury the Tsunayo family?

Although the two are unrelated, he doesn't want to face this Broken Face; fighting him would be exhausting and would inevitably attract the attention of others!

"Master, this guy seems to be trying to break in..."

Ashura jumped onto Sasuke's nod and patted the two bells with her little paws.

He was very annoyed by the guy outside who had been sitting in the chair since he appeared.

Chapter 178 Barragan Gets Tricked

"what do you..."

Barragán had waited a long time, and finally this place was free of obstruction.

But looking at the long-haired man in front of him, was he a human, a ghost, or even the Grim Reaper?

It has a human body, but half of its head is covered by a Hollow mask, and it's holding a Zanpakuto...

He could still distinguish between humans and cyborgs; this long-haired man with his hair sticking up was definitely human.

Have these new creatures that are related to all of these things already appeared?

"What? What? Looks like you're one of those Hollows. What are you doing in the human world? We haven't bothered Hueco Mundo at all. You guys are really bothering me. If I get upset and kill one of my friends, can you afford to pay for it?"

The man tapped the Arrancar mark on his head with his Zanpakuto and pointed it at Barragan without any politeness.

In his hand, he was carrying a dead body that had already lost all signs of life.

It is a human body that has lost its soul.

What exactly are you?

Barragan couldn't sense the other's spiritual pressure and wanted to fight, but was afraid of killing him.

After thinking about it, he decided to capture it and bring it back to Hueco Mundo, and study it slowly later.

Whatever it is, it looks quite interesting.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't reach out to me, or I'll hit you, I really will hit you!"

The long-haired man saw Barragan extend his hand to him, a flash of lightning appeared beneath his feet, and he was already more than ten meters away.

It's not Shunpo, not Sōjō, and not Flying Kick.

"Come with me!"

Barragán became even more interested and reached out to grab it again.

However, just as he captured the person, the creature in his hand, whose exact race was unknown, suddenly exploded.

Along with the corpses that had been dragged along, the explosion turned them into smoke, which dissipated with the wind.

"..."

Barragán felt he had been tricked, but the person who tricked him was dead beyond recognition, not even a trace of his soul remained.

He wanted to be angry, but didn't know who to vent it on. Frustrated, he conjured two Cero flashes, flattening the forest before angrily opening his Black Hole and returning to Hueco Mundo.

After he left, Sasuke, surrounded by chakra in the sky, held Ashura rolling around in his arms, feeling rather helpless at the kitten's quirky antics.

The one who went out to greet Barragan just now was Ashura, who used genjutsu to disguise himself as Uchiha Madara and was even wearing a suit.

That's not all; he also controlled Huanyin to create a character design.

This is a pretty cool Uchiha Madara look, not only because he's been given the Arrancar hairstyle, but also because he has this smug expression.

As for things like Lightning Instantaneous Movement Technique and Chakra Explosion...

Those are all illusions created by Huan Yin, but Asura has become more and more adept at using them.

"Master, look how cute he is! He's so much fun..."

Ashura was having a great time and was also excited about being able to use the illusion of sound to bewitch Barragan.

Initially, he thought he couldn't win, so he planned to pretend that he would just be taken away and then return to his master.

It makes no difference to him, whether it's Hueco Mundo, the human world, or Soul Society.

If he so desires, he can return to his master's side after his physical form dissipates.

But he didn't expect that Barragan would be fooled, and that the guy didn't even want to attack him; at most, he just wanted to take him back.

What an interesting old man! He'd like to visit him in Hueco Mundo sometime.

"I'll take you to Hueco Mundo when I have time."

Sasuke was a little saddened that his cat thought Barragan was a cute Hollow, but he was determined to spoil his cat.

Moreover, he will always need to visit Hueco Mundo in the future, especially after Aizen stabilizes Hueco Mundo, he needs to obtain an identity to study the energy system there.

Incidentally, I should also meet all the Espada; they can be used for training.

"No rush. Shall we go back now? Master, you've been inside for three days. Uncle Aizen's plan may have already begun."

Ashura suddenly remembered that he hadn't told his master how much time had passed.

"Three days...we're going back now!"

Sasuke hadn't expected so much time to have passed.

Judging by the timeline, Rukia should be captured and taken back soon.

Moreover, because of him, Rukia may receive more attention from more people.

The moment his body switched into spirit form, the six-pointed star amulet he had used before reappeared behind Sasuke, this time with the words 'Peace' on it.

Using the same teleportation method as when he arrived, Sasuke returned to his barracks in the Fifth Division.

"Is everything alright?"

Aizen, holding his Zanpakuto, leaned against the door and watched Sasuke appear. He then put away the illusion he had created with Kyoka Suigetsu.

"The Tsunayo family is gone."

Sasuke's lips curled up, his blood-red eyes filled with a murderous aura.

"Don't say that. They were simply wiped out by this world for unknown reasons."

The Kyoka Suigetsu that Aizen was holding flickered, and Sasuke's appearance returned to that of an innocent young boy, though he exuded a lazy aura.

"Uncle Aizen, what's wrong with your Kyoka Suigetsu? I've never seen you hold it so tightly before."

Sasuke didn't react to the changes in his appearance.

He was simply curious about what strange changes had occurred between Aizen and Kyoka Suigetsu over the past three days.

"By strengthening relationships and getting closer, we can understand each other's feelings."

Aizen looked at his Kyoka Suigetsu with a gaze full of doting affection that felt strangely familiar...

Sure enough, he learned it from me. This guy has even started to fool people with illusions and fleeting dreams.

Don't say he's sincere; Sasuke can tell that Aizen definitely used Kyoka Suigetsu as a tool before.

Of course, most Shinigami in Soul Society use their Zanpakuto as tools.

"Only Hinamori Momo has come to see you these past few days. Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro came, but Hinamori Momo stopped them. The others received the news and didn't bother you anymore. However, the news that you were so foolish as to get injured while protecting your Zanpakuto has basically spread throughout the entire Seireitei..."

Aizen told Sasuke about what had happened in the past few days.

He told Hinamori that Sasuke was upset by her previous words and therefore refused any visits.

Even so, some people who wanted to check on Sasuke's situation couldn't be stopped. For example, the guy from the second division had secretly come to check on him a few times, although his target was probably the cat.

"Stupid? Those people are really good at talking. Because they themselves are afraid to face the fact that they use their Zanpakuto as tools, they think I, the exception, am stupid..."

Sasuke reached out and stroked the kitten's head, his fingers tracing the two bells. Hearing the clear sound, he played with Huanyin for a while, something he rarely did.

In fact, he also used Huanyin as a tool, especially after Huanyin gave him such an identity.

However, Ashura likes this little playmate, so he doesn't mind taking extra care of him.

"Actually, I'm also very curious. Asura is a protective shield, can such attacks still cause injury?"

Aizen looked at Ashura curiously; this cat was a guardian, and he himself was a shield...

So, there's some truth to those who say Sasuke is stupid. If his acting is a bit stupid, then don't blame people for saying it.

"After being sealed, Ashura is just a cat; it needs to eat, and it's afraid of falling and getting hurt..."

Sasuke glared at Aizen; he had to protect his cat.

While he is extremely defensive when protecting others, it has never been said that his physical body is immune to injury.
