call out!
But at that moment, a blazing white arrow suddenly pierced the sky and shot towards his back.
Bang.
Without even turning around, Wuyue raised her hand and flicked it lightly. The arrow was easily deflected, turning into particles and dissipating into the air.
"To think, with just one finger..." This move sent a violent tremor through Ishida Uryu's heart. It was even more unacceptable than being defeated by the same opponent in one move several years ago.
"See? This is the difference between us." Wuyue said calmly, "Even so, do you still insist on fighting me? You'll die, little brother."
"You think... this will make me back down?!" Ishida Uryu said through gritted teeth, his tone serious.
"Ugh, you're really annoying." Wuyue shook her head helplessly and said, "Fine. I'll give you a chance. You already know who my stupid brother is, right?"
"That substitute Grim Reaper?" Ishida Uryu frowned. Because of his grandfather's fate, he had a very negative perception and impression of Grim Reapers.
“Yes. As long as you beat him, I will grant your request.” Wuyue nodded and smiled, “How about that? That makes sense, doesn’t it? Also, don’t look down on him just because he’s a substitute Grim Reaper. Otherwise, you’ll be the one who suffers.”
Chapter 0535 The Arrival of Disaster
half a month later.
During the last physical education class of the year, Mugetsu was sitting in the stands on the playground, watching Orihime's final 100-meter sprint.
This is the women's 2000-meter race. Leading the pack are Orihime and Tatsuki, who have completely left their classmates far behind. However, this is only because Orihime isn't using her spiritual power. Otherwise, with Tatsuki's ordinary physique, it would be impossible for her to catch up with Orihime, who has entered a transcendent state.
However, in the very end, Orihime, with her near-infinite stamina, managed to pull ahead of Tatsuki and win the Best Woman award.
"Phew, your physique has been getting better and better lately, Orihime." Ryuki picked up a bottle of purified water from the edge of the playground, took a swig, and said, "Before, you couldn't even finish the race, let alone get first place."
"Yes, that's true." Orihime wiped the sweat from her forehead with a towel and smiled. "Even after running for so long, my body doesn't feel uncomfortable at all."
"So, what exactly have you been doing all this time?" Long Gui asked curiously. "Could it be that you received the essence of Wuyue's love, which transformed you?"
"Love, the essence of love?!" Orihime was clearly unfamiliar with this ambiguous term, but she still nodded truthfully. "It should be related to Muzuki-kun. But..." Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly paused and abruptly raised her head.
"But what?" The other person's words trailed off, leaving Long Gui speechless. "Hey, hey, where are you looking!"
"The sky has been torn apart," Orihime murmured to herself, raising her head.
ha?
Long Gui was speechless. He looked up at the sky, but couldn't see anything.
"Oh, it's already started?" Wuyue looked up at the black cavities that had been opened in the sky, a meaningful smile on her face. "Something interesting is about to happen."
As they were speaking, with a loud "boom," a gigantic, octopus-like Hollow descended onto the equipment room in the training ground, its chilling eyes fixed intently on Ryuki and Orihime. It was like a hungry wolf eyeing a plump lamb.
"Little Gui, get out of the way!" Orihime turned her face away and shouted.
"What?" Long Gui also possessed considerable spiritual power. Moreover, he could clearly see ghosts. However, the void and ghosts were two completely different existences. To detect the void, one needed to possess extremely high abilities. Long Gui was clearly not at that level yet.
"Get out of the way! Danger! Three-Day Shield - I refuse!" Orihime was frantic and rushed to Ryuki's side. At that moment, the octopus-like creature extended its tentacles, shooting towards them like a long whip.
Bang.
A muffled thud.
A semi-transparent barrier blocked Orihime's path, completely stopping the tentacle. However, the collision created a powerful sonic boom in the air, and the forceful energy radiated outwards from the two of them.
"What...what's going on?!" Tatsuki, shielded behind Orihime, was utterly bewildered. But just as her gaze shifted ahead, a blurry, enormous shadow appeared in her field of vision. "What...what is that?!"
"Little Gui, can you see it?" Orihime said calmly, "That kind of monster is very dangerous. But don't worry, I will protect you."
“Orihime…” Tatsuki felt himself being flirted with at this moment.
However, at this moment, the octopus-like creature opposite was clearly very unhappy. "Damn it! You humans seem to be quite troublesome. In that case..." Before it could finish speaking, a strange pulse suddenly emanated.
All around them, the male and female teachers and students who had been in a daze suddenly had empty eyes, and rushed towards the two of them like walking corpses.
"They've been controlled!" Orihime's eyes narrowed as she said...
"Controlled? Controlled by that guy?" Long Gui frowned, swinging her fist to knock away the guys who surrounded her, but before she could make a move, the teachers and students suddenly seemed to lose gravity and fell to the ground.
"What?! Who?!" Octopus Void roared in fury, "That wretched guy! He ruined my hypnotic illusion! Bastard!"
"You talk too much." Wu Yue's voice suddenly rang out in the room, saying, "As a nobody, you should be aware of what a nobody should do. You can't talk so much."
"No moon?"
"Wuyue-kun..."
Tatsuki and Orihime were extremely surprised. They hadn't seen how the boy moved at all; it was as if he had teleported to their side.
"Give it the final blow and finish it off." Wuyue shrugged and said, "This kind of trash isn't even worth using for practice."
"Damn it, how dare you underestimate me!" Octopus Void roared, its eight tentacles rapidly extending and frantically attacking Wuyue.
"Lone Sky Shield Slash - I refuse!" With a soft shout, Orihime's hairpin emitted a beam of orange light. In an instant, it cleaved the octopus Hollow 5.1 in two.
"Well done, Orihime," Mugetsu exclaimed. "You've become so skilled in just a few days."
"Hehe, it's all thanks to Muzuki-kun's good teaching." Orihime chuckled and scratched her head.
Swish.
Another figure flashed over. Dressed in a white combat suit and wearing a mask with antelope horns on her head, it was Nel.
"Is it resolved over there?" Wuyue asked softly.
“Yes. As you expected, I don’t need to do anything.” Nilu nodded and said, “That boy named Chad is indeed very talented.”
"The actors are almost all here now. The curtain should be rising soon, right?" Wuyue smiled, gazing into the distance.
Chapter 0536 The Great Void!
The park in the center of the city.
Ishida Uryu's right hand was covered in cracks, the result of pulling the bowstring. The situation before him was completely unexpected; the number of Hollows far exceeded his capabilities.
Why would such a small, ordinary Hollow attract so many Hollows? It makes no sense! And the Hollows' intentions are strange too! They don't seem to be engaging in normal hunting; rather, they appear to be acting on the orders of some strange entity. They gather together intermittently.
"You bastard!" Just as his thoughts were drifting, Ichigo Kurosaki, now a Shinigami, stormed over, seething with rage. "All of this is your fault! Look at all these Hollows, how are you going to deal with them?!"
"Instead of complaining, why not kill a few more Hollows, Kurosaki Ichigo?" Ishida Uryu said calmly, adjusting his glasses. "Although things have indeed exceeded my expectations, this can serve as proof of our duel, can't it? Let's see who eliminates more Hollows."
"Damn it!" Ichigo Kurosaki frowned and said, "You bastard! I don't know about the feud between Shinigami and Quincy, that's none of my business! But, but you actually used the lives of these ordinary people as your gamble! This is unforgivable!"
Originally, Ichigo Kurosaki had anticipated that Ishida Uryu would either defend himself or become angry. However, instead, Uryu stared at him in astonishment, his face filled with disbelief. "What did you say? You don't know? Huh? You don't know about the feud between Shinigami and Quincy?"
"What do you mean?" Kurosaki Ichigo narrowed his eyes, casually slicing down a Hollow that tried to ambush him. "Should I know?"
"Hahahaha, that's hilarious! Absolutely hilarious!" Ishida Uryu seemed to understand something and burst into laughter. "Kurosaki Ichigo, you're such a pathetic guy. Still completely in the dark?"
"What are you saying?!" Ichigo Kurosaki was getting annoyed and impulsively grabbed Uryu Ishida by the collar... N?
"Ichigo, calm down," Rukia, who rushed over upon hearing the commotion, quickly advised.
"Hey, Kurosaki Ichigo." Ishida Uryu's expression gradually returned to calm as he raised an eyebrow. "You didn't know, did you? Actually, your younger brother is also a Quincy."
-彳
"What?!" At that moment, both Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia were stunned. Kurosaki Mugetsu was a Quincy?! This...how could this be! This can't be!
"Ah, it seems you really didn't know." Ishida Uryu looked at Kurosaki Ichigo with a hint of pity and said, "As a substitute Shinigami, you're actually close to a Quincy. How ironic, Kurosaki Ichigo. If one day, the Shinigami decides to exterminate all Quincy again, what will you choose?"
This is clearly a malicious attack! Moreover, this tactic of sowing discord isn't entirely baseless. Because in Ichigo Kurosaki's mind, it's absolutely possible!
What will he choose then? Should he challenge the entire Grim Reaper organization for his brother's sake? But he happens to be a Grim Reaper himself, this is just too confusing!
"Ichigo! Don't let this affect you!" Rukia quickly interjected, "This guy is clearly trying to sow discord! Even if your brother really is a Quincy, Shinigami can't just wipe them all out!"
"Well, not now," Ishida Uryu pushed up his glasses and said, "but if the Quincy race were to multiply and grow to the same size as before, then battle would probably still be unavoidable. Shinigami and Quincy are ultimately opposing forces."
"Hey, what are you rambling on about? Are you never going to stop?" Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly looked up and said, "You bastard, instead of arguing with me, why don't you deal with the problem at hand? As for the relationship between Shinigami and Quincy, as long as you don't live with yourself in a guilty conscience, isn't that enough?"
"Not being able to face yourself with a clear conscience? That's quite an interesting answer." Ishida Uryu was taken aback at first, then shook his head.
But at that moment, a huge rift suddenly opened in the sky above them. And in the very center of the rift, a monster wearing a white, long-nosed mask appeared before their eyes.
"What, what is that?" Ishida Uryu asked, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"It's a Hollow? This size is way too big!" Kurosaki Ichigo's mouth dropped open.
“That…that’s a Hollow.” Rukia was startled. “That’s something that only exists in textbooks. It’s made up of hundreds of ordinary Hollows. But why is it here? This is the stuff that the Royal Intelligence Agency is responsible for!”
"Well, whatever, let's just get rid of it!" Kurosaki Ichigo sneered, and charged forward with his Zanpakuto in hand.
"Hey, you! That's not something you can take down with ordinary methods!" Ishida Uryu quickly followed up.
"You two!" Rukia wanted to stop them, but at that moment, a figure blocked her way. "Kurosaki Muzuki? What are you doing? Stop them!"
“That won’t do.” Wuyue extended a finger and gently tapped Rukia’s neck. Instantly, Rukia froze, unable to move an inch. “This performance needs both of them. That’s the meaning behind their existence. Watch with your heart, girl.”
Chapter 0537 Yoruichi's Allure
Just like in the original story, the Hollow was defeated by the combined efforts of Ishida Ame and Kurosaki Ichigo, and retreated back to Hueco Mundo. This achieved Aizen's research and investigation objectives. Aizen's next move is about to begin.
This is a game of strategy. The players are Kisuke Urahara and Aizen. Whether it's Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia, or anyone else in the world, they are all just pawns in this game.
Only Mugetsu is different; he's an observer. Or, to use a more vivid metaphor, he's the one destroying the game. At this stage, both Aizen and Urahara are objects he can use. He has his own ideas and purposes, and Aizen is merely one of his targets.
"So, what are you planning to do next?" At the Inoue family mansion, the black cat licked its paws and asked casually, "After this incident, the higher-ups should have already discovered Rukia's situation."
“They didn’t discover it.” Mugetsu smiled, picked up the black cat, and held it close to her chest. “Aizen had them discover it. Urahara Kisuke must know that too.”
Seemingly accustomed to being treated this way, Yoruichi offered no resistance, instead pressing her soft body against Mugetsu's chest. She seemed to enjoy his scent. "That's right. He actually saw that scout bug a long time ago. But he didn't stop it. He let the information get through. How pathetic. From beginning to end, that little girl was just a tool to be used."
"I'm afraid they'll make a move soon," Wuyue said calmly, gently stroking the cat's head. "Moreover, the person coming over is probably of high status."
Yoruichi was taken aback at first, but then she understood the situation. Since Aizen wanted to use Kurosaki Ichigo as material for observation, he would naturally help him grow. With Ichigo's current mixed power, Rukia's spiritual power would inevitably have to be eliminated.
Therefore, the best way to eliminate this spiritual power is to temporarily strip him of his death god powers. This person chosen will definitely not be weak. "So, it could be that brat?"
"It's most likely him, that old acquaintance of yours." Wuyue chuckled. "But that's fine too. It saves me the trouble of doing it myself; I feel a little reluctant to do it myself."
"That doesn't sound like something you'd say," Yoruichi said, narrowing her eyes. "Speaking of which, with your strength, why would you need to train Kurosaki Ichigo?"
“I can’t stay here forever.” Wuyue turned to look out the window and said, “Only by helping him grow up quickly can the Kurosaki family be safe.”
"Is that so? It's for the family, huh?" Yoruichi said with a hint of emotion.
“It’s not about family, it’s just about repaying a debt of gratitude.” Wu Yue said meaningfully, “Of course, I’m just pushing things along the original trajectory.”
"Your thoughts are really complicated," Yoruichi said, looking at him meaningfully.
"Hmm. Isn't it true that the more complex something is, the more attractive it becomes?" Wuyue gently stroked its smooth fur, thoroughly enjoying the pleasure of petting a cat. Moreover, this was a beautiful female cat.
