Death's Hidden Mobile

Tristan smiled slightly, then suddenly lifted his foot and stomped on the ground. The next moment, his feet and calves were covered in white armor.

Whoosh.

She appeared behind Heribel and kicked out.

"So fast."

Herribel narrowed her eyes and subconsciously placed her arms in front of her.

boom.

Harribel was sent flying, but she rolled in mid-air and regained her footing.

But at that moment, Tristan kicked out with his right foot from a distance.

boom.

A black flash instantly pierced through the space between the two and shot towards Harribel.

Heribel drew her longsword, energy accumulating in the hollowed-out parts before being released.

boom.

The energies collided and exploded, sending sand and gravel flying everywhere.

"Speed ​​increases, power increases."

Xia Yan narrowed his eyes. His speed after becoming intangible surpassed that of his normal state and the three blades before they were released.

Of course, it's still quite different from the three blades after the Resurrection.

However, if I use the Perfect Hogyoku to help her completely Hollowen, then she will be comparable to the third Espada in her Resurrección state, which is the strength of a Captain-level or higher.

enough.

Xia Yan was very satisfied with the result. He looked at the remaining people and said, "It's your turn next."

Next, Xia Yan performed a virtual transformation on Ta Ze. He extracted the soul of the pocket watch and turned it into an arrow symbol on his left shoulder. Once activated, his left shoulder would be covered by a white shoulder armor, and the arrow symbol would turn into a pointer.

In this state, his abilities will continue to be enhanced, and he can gain strength, speed, and other abilities by reversing the pointer's direction.

Afterwards, Natsuhiko Hollowfied Tsukishima Shukuro. His Fullbring was activated by a bookmark, but it was not fused with his body. Because it was not fused with his body, he was able to defeat his Hollowfied self.

Because of the Shinigami's energy, Ginjou Kugo's Hollowfication requires Quincy's spiritual particles to prevent his soul from committing suicide. Natsuhiko had already used Ishida Uryu's spiritual particles during the Seireitei War to create a potion.

Therefore, after Xia Yan injected the drug into Yin Cheng Kugo, his Hollowfication did not merge with the cross. Even though the cross was the medium for his Fullbring, it was still his Zanpakuto.

Tsukishima and Ginjo Kugo already possessed captain-level combat power, and after this Hollowfication, they can rival the three Espada who have resurrected.

Once I help Tsukishima and Ginjo Kugo achieve complete Hollowfication, I can even elevate them to a higher level, reaching Super Captain-level combat power.

If one obtains the perfect Hogyoku, as a Fullbringer, one can gain two Super Captain-level combatants and two Captain-level combatants.

In addition, there are also Espada who can be further improved.

This will be a very large force, enough to influence the course of the Thousand-Year Blood War.

But just then, Xia Yan turned his gaze and called out, "Who is it?"

"Ok?"

Somewhat puzzled, the group followed Xia Yan's gaze and saw a figure slowly appearing on the sand dune in the distance, its eyes revealing a destructive intent.

"why you?"

Xia Yan was somewhat puzzled. Hadn't he been arrested by the Seireitei?

Chapter 167: The Hidden Message

The person who appeared before everyone had light blue hair, sky blue eyes, light green eyeshadow, and a few strands of bangs hanging down.

His right cheek was covered by a tooth-shaped mask, his face bearing an arrogant expression. He wore an open-fronted white shirt, revealing a hole in his abdomen.

Grimmjow.

The newcomer was none other than the Sixtieth Espada, Grimmjow.

"Weren't you arrested?"

Xia Yan looked at Grimmjow and asked with a frown.

"Thanks to you."

Grimmjow appeared before Xia Yan in a flash and said, "Because you betrayed the Seireitei, the Shinigami released me and asked me to deliver a message to you."

Xia Yan raised an eyebrow and asked, "What words?"

Grimmjow said, "After being sentenced by the Central Sixty-Fourth Chamber, you are wanted for treason. If you step into the Soul Society, you will be arrested and executed."

"I see."

Xia Yan nodded. This sentence was somewhat lenient compared to what Xia Yan had done.

He was charged with treason, but no one was sent to assassinate him. After all, he had not yet fused with the Hogyoku and did not have the ability of Kyoka Suigetsu. He could only fight Yamamoto Genryusai to a standstill.

However, Seireitei chose to send a message through a messenger, telling him that if he stepped into the Soul Society, he would be captured.

In other words, as long as he doesn't go to Soul Society, he won't be captured.

This punishment is too lenient for the crime of treason.

But Xia Yan wasn't surprised, because was his crime of treason really that serious?

First of all, Xia Yan only stole the Hogyoku and did not harm anyone, so his crime is only theft.

However, the Hogyoku has a great function and possesses extremely powerful strength. If it is taken away by villains, it can have the ability to destroy Seireitei.

Here's the question: will Xia Yan punish based on the first case or the second?

When Seireitei chooses one of the two outcomes, he can give Natsuhiko a message.

Choosing the second option indicates that the Seireitei places great importance on the Hogyoku and will definitely send out elite Shinigami to hunt down Natsuhiko.

But the fact is that the first option was chosen, and the punishment was very light.

This proves that Seireitei, or Yamamoto Genryusai, remembered everything Natsuhiko had done for Seireitei and greatly appreciated his contributions.

This raises a question: Natsuhiko has done so much for Seireitei, he's already a captain, and he's about to be promoted to a mid-level noble, and he's going to marry Soi Fon. His friends and wife are all in Seireitei, so why would Natsuhiko choose to betray them?

Is the Hogyoku really more important to Natsuhiko than Soi Fon, his friends, his job, and his status?

It's impossible for Yamamoto Genryusai not to have thought about this question, as it's the trigger for all his thinking: why did Natsuhiko steal the Hogyoku?

At this point, Yamamoto Genryusai would realize that Natsuhiko had no reason to betray Seireitei, yet he still did.

Just thinking about this makes everyone suspect that there's more to the story.

This is what Xia Yan wanted Yamamoto Genryusai to think about, and the result of that thinking was to punish him based on the second viewpoint.

So they would choose a punishment that seems severe but actually has no impact on their actions.

The same is true.

This proves that Yamamoto Genryusai must have guessed that Natsuhiko's actions had a hidden reason.

This is good news for Xia Yan.

Even if he chose the first option and a Shinigami were to come after him, Xia Yan wouldn't be afraid. With Soi Fon there, he insisted that she go back and report. Soi Fon even asked if he was sure he needed to do that.

This was to ensure that Soi Fon would be given important responsibilities by the Seireitei, and since it was initiated by her, it also gave her room to maneuver.

Xia Yan just didn't expect that it was Grimmjow who came. Why was he sent?

Shouldn't it be Kisuke Urahara from a third-party force, or Soi Fon, Renji Abarai, Rukia, and others?

Xia Yan looked at Grimmjow and asked curiously, "Besides delivering messages, what else does the Grim Reaper ask you to do?"

Grimmjow crossed his arms and said, "That's all. Apart from doing some investigation in the Twelfth Division, that's all."

Then why did you release him?

Grimmjow was one of the few who were captured; the rest of the Arrancar, except for those who survived, were mostly killed.

Why release the last broken face?

Wait, the 12th Division?

Xia Yan guessed what was going on and asked calmly, "Grimmjow, what are you planning to do next?"

Grimmjow shrugged and said, "I don't know. I'm back in Hueco Mundo, but I don't know what to do yet."

Xia Yan smiled and said, "Then why don't you come and serve under me?"

Grimmjow raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you want me to submit to you?"

Xia Yan asked, "Is my strength insufficient to make you submit?"

Grimmjow asked curiously, "But what exactly do you plan to do? If it's an attack on Seireitei, I won't choose to go. After all, Death has released me, and I won't repay kindness with enmity."

Grimmjow's defining characteristic is destruction; he possesses boundless destructive power.

However, he has two principles: he will not attack the weak who have no resistance.

Secondly, they enjoy the thrill of fighting on equal footing.

He is very principled, so once he makes a decision, he won't easily change it.

Xia Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, we won't attack Seireitei. I still have feelings for Seireitei. What I pursue is only greater power and a higher level of evolution. I just want to see what life beyond the level of Shinigami is like."

Grimmjow nodded and said, "Alright, as long as I don't fight Death, I'm willing to be your subordinate."

Xia Yan waved his hand and said, "Alright, then come with me. My Hueco Mundo Covert Mobile Force is still missing a captain from the Riting Team."

"Ritten team, what's that?" Grimmjow asked with a puzzled expression.

Xia Yan said, "I'm responsible for relaying messages and reporting situations."

"Just a message? Hey, you underestimate me."

Grimmjow shouted in dissatisfaction.

Xia Yan shrugged and said, "These people next to me belong to four different teams. Which one can you defeat?"

"Ulquiorra, Grimmjow, and the first three blades."

Grimmjow's gaze swept over the three men, a look of apprehension in his eyes. Finally, he looked at Ginjo Kugo and asked, "Who are these people?"
