Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

202. Chapter 201: Great Void Forest

202.

2023-10-06

Hueco Mundo, the Great Xu Forest.

Yilong and Soi-Fong walked in here together.

Ichiryuu came to find an important expeditionary force, and Soi-Fong insisted on following him - she had decided to follow Ichiryuu in the Hueco Mundo.

"Are you sure there is an expeditionary force here? This place... should be the legendary Great Hollow Forest, right?" Soi-Fong said in some confusion.

"Yes, this is the Great Void Forest, but there is indeed an expeditionary force... I was in the expeditionary force a hundred years ago." Yilong said confidently.

Broken Bee was silent for a moment, then asked, "Really?"

Yoruichi and Urahara have always believed that there is "something wrong" with Ichiryu's background. Although Soi-Fong emotionally tells Yoruichi that it was that bitch Urahara who spread rumors, but... rationally speaking, she is not unaware of the higher probability that Ichiryu or Urahara is lying.

"At least I've been in Hueco Mundo." Yilong said calmly, and as he spoke he walked in.

This time, Soi-Fong tried her best to come with Yilong, and after Yilong's initial objection was ineffective, he agreed. When she saw Yilong go in, Soi-Fong naturally followed.

In the Great Hollow Forest, there seem to be many white "trees". In fact, no one is sure whether they are plants or not. They just look like plants, at least they are not ordinary plants. Not only do they have no leaves, but there is no sunlight in the Hollow Mundo and not even soil in the normal sense. They are completely rooted in the white sand which is said to be the corpses of "Hollows".

Its area only occupies about one twentieth of the Hueco Mundo, but it has become the nest of 90% of the "Gillian-class Hollows", which is why it got its name.

Even the Bylergan Empire did not include the "Great Void Forest" within its jurisdiction...

even……

Even the "Hollow" Aaronilo, who was considered by Yilong to have no brains at all, had never come to the "Great Hollow Forest" to devour Killian before.

"There are so many Killians here... but why are there no Achukas coming to devour them?" Broken Bee wondered.

At this time, she and Yilong hid their spiritual pressure, but were not discovered by any Killian - after all, both of them were from the "Secret Mobile Team", so this was nothing.

However, although devouring "Kilian" is far less powerful than devouring "Yachukas", the density of "Kilian" in the Great Void Forest is enough to cause a qualitative change!

"Who knows, maybe it's some special rule." Yilong knew that any conscious Great Void would have an inexplicable feeling of fullness in the "Great Void Forest" - a feeling that was not normal at all for a "Void".

On the contrary, the unconscious "Killians" will devour each other here. Occasionally, some "Killians" that have evolved into "Yachukas" or are close to evolution and have already developed consciousness will leave here on their own accord.

Even for a conscious "Hollow" with the greatest appetite, it is extremely difficult to devour anything here. Only the "Hollow" two thousand years ago was able to grow rapidly to the level of impacting Soul Society and even the Soul King Palace because it devoured here for two hundred years. It is much more powerful than the Hollow of the current Kuraya Palace!

"But... if there really is an expeditionary force here, they should be... from the secret mobile force, right?" In Soi-Fong's opinion, if an ordinary Shinigami was here, even if he was a captain-level one, he would be killed by so many Kilians.

Unless you have extremely strong hiding abilities...

"No, there is a lower level here. It is much safer there." Yilong said, leading Shattered Bee all the way to a slowly sinking sand pit.

"Found it. We can go down from here." Yilong said, looking at the center of the quicksand.

The Great Hollow Forest is composed of two parts. One layer is the land above the white sand, which can be directly illuminated by the moon of Hueco Mundo, and where spirit trees that "look like trees" can be seen. The other layer is the underground space under the white sand, which is mainly illuminated by the roots of the spirit trees.

Under normal circumstances, "Kilian" lives on the ground, and there are also a large number of ordinary Voids living underground.

Random black cavities often appear underground here, leading to the real world, mostly to the spirit land, or to the Rukongai of Soul Society.

Some of the Hollows in the present world are the "whole" transformation of the dead who have never left, and the other part is that which enters the "present world" from the "Holecro Mundo" in this way, but the possibility of "great Hollows" passing through is not high.

The Hollows in Hueco Mundo also instinctively followed a rule - they would not eat the "Killian" in the Hollow Forest. Naturally, the "Achukas" Hollows here could not order the "Killian" to go out and eat outside...

But that was when "Lin" was still teaching in Hueco Mundo.

Now Aizen's "Kyakuya Palace" has also included this place under its rule!

Ichiryu didn't know how Aizen did it, but now in the "Great Hollow Forest", the "Achukas Arrancar" sent by Aizen has the ability to summon and command the Gillians here, and is not subject to any restrictions.

However, the ones sent by Aizen were also [Arrancars], so they no longer needed to devour other Hollows to evolve...

"When you decided to attack the headquarters of the punitive force, you also considered this place, right?" Soi-Fong asked sharply.

That’s right, the location of the “camp” that Yilong had chosen before did take this into consideration - if the Xuye Palace and the headquarters of the expeditionary army were connected, the “Great Hollow Forest” would be passed in the middle, and... it would be roughly at the midpoint.

"Well, this is the place with the most Achukas born. New Achukas are born almost every year. If we leave it alone, Aizen's power will become stronger and stronger." Yilong had a good reason.

If there is anything wrong with this location, it is...

Not far from where "Lin" used to teach!

After all, when Yilong was teaching, he also wanted to attract the newly born "Yachukas" outside the influence of Bylergan and not far from the "Great Hollow Forest".

Now Yilong has to find a place far away from the "Xuye Palace" but close to the "Great Void Forest" - the current "Xuye Palace" is the former nest of Bylergan!

Although Hueco Mundo is large, since the logic of site selection is roughly the same, the distance is of course not far...

Although the possibility is not high, if a Shinigami discovers the deeds of "The Light of Hueco Mundo" and "The Arrancar Guide", Ichiryuu may need to cover up.

but……

It seems that because of Yoruichi's constant hints, Soi-Fong is determined to prove Ichryu's background. She wants to know whether it is positive proof or negative proof, so... Ichryu also decided to take this opportunity and tell her at the right time.

After all, Ichiryu will have to jump back and forth between Seireitei and Kyonyakū, and he will need someone to cooperate with him - and even Amagai only knows that Ichiryu is someone brought by Aizen, but does not know Ichiryu's true identity!

Yilong was originally weighing the pros and cons, but since Soi-Fong kept pursuing her, then... Yilong decided to choose Soi-Fong to cooperate with him.

Just when Yilong and Suifeng had just entered the underground space from the sand cave...

"Eh? The God of Death? Haha, I never thought I'd get something like this..."

At this time, a "Arrancar" with half a goat mask on his face happened to be right below - because of the special environment of the Great Hollow Forest, when they were above, neither side felt each other. At this time, the Arrancar should also want to use the sand hole to go up, but as a result... they met at the "elevator entrance"!

"Tsk... what a coincidence." Soi-Fong had heard from Ichiryuu that this was common sense when going in and out of the Great Hollow Forest.

When he found out that it was an Arrancar he didn't recognize, he frowned and said, "It should be the new Achukas."

Should I? Soi-Fong was a little puzzled when she heard that. Why did you say that as if you knew most of the "Achukas" in Hueco Mundo?

But faster than her doubts, Soi-Fong had already taken action!

"Sting and kill all enemies! Birds and wasps!"

203. Chapter 202: The Bee Kills People

203.

2023-10-06

Under the Great Hollow Forest, Ichiryu and Soi-Fong had just come down when they encountered a goat-like Arrancar. His body was very strong, making people wonder if he was a rhinoceros with a goat's head before he became an Arrancar.

Only the lower half of the mask was broken. The eyes and skull were covered with white bones, and the two goat horns were particularly prominent.

This level of "breaking the surface" is obviously a failure.

At this time, Soi-Fong used her [Shikai] and rushed forward directly.

It can be seen that the opponent is far less agile than Soi-Fong...

Soon, Shattered Bee left a "bee pattern" on the opponent's shoulder, which looked like a butterfly or a four-leaf clover...

It can be seen that this is a newly born Arrancar. Although the degree of anthropomorphism of his body is quite high, he does not seem to be adapted to fighting with "shallow strikes" after drawing his sword. Moreover, his body is too large, and there is no difference between him and an ordinary "Hollow", except that he should be smaller than before he became an "Arrancar".

"This is..." The Goat Arrancar stared at his shoulder in shock, probably sensing the unusual power within it.

"This is the power of [Sparrow Bee]. When your Bee Pattern is hit again, that's when you die!" Broken Bee said honestly.

Yilong: ...

Yilong did not stop her from explaining, because Yilong understood that this was also the process of "Word Spirit".

If Soi-Fong's ability is not explained to the opponent, even opponents with the same spiritual pressure cannot be killed instantly. After explaining, the ability will be improved. One must have at least second-class spiritual power, which is in the top half among the captains and not at the bottom among the Ten Espadas, to be immune to its "instant death" effect.

Just like the ability of [Hua Tian Kuang Gu] must be explained, this is different from those guys who explain their abilities for no reason...

"Second time... do you think you still have a chance?" The Goat Arrancar sneered.

Just when Soi-Fong thought that he was going to use a move that would make him more agile...

"Everyone come out! It's time to entertain the guests!"

After the Goat Arrancar gave the order, many Gillians sank down from the white sand in a huge crowd, each of them sinking headfirst...

At this time, the upside-down Killians surrounded Yilong and Shattered Bee from all directions. Even in the distance because of the dim light underground, pairs of scarlet eyes could be seen!

Although this is no longer the era where "the Hollows have to be dealt with by Squad Zero", Soi-Fong can easily deal with multiple "Gillian", and can even fight with "Achukas", but... so many Gillians are a little beyond what Soi-Fong can handle!

Seeing the great hollows around, Shattered Bee was about to take the opportunity to condense "Hypo-Flash". If she was really targeted by hundreds or thousands of "Hypo-Flash", she would definitely not be able to withstand it.

She is known for her agility, but her direct defense is not that strong. With such frequent "Fake Flashes", Shattered Bee has nowhere to hide!

"What are you waiting for? Show me the Bankai you 'just mastered'!" Soi-Fong said sarcastically.

"No, rather than Bankai..."

Yilong closed his eyes as he spoke, and his spiritual pressure became chaotic.

The next moment, after a flash of spirit particles, the "Death Tyrant Suit" on Yilong's body faded from black to a white outfit...

At the same time, not only did Yilong's temperament change subtly, the earrings on his ears also became larger, and his skin color became three points whiter - now not only did he not look like a direct descendant of the Shifengyuan family, he didn't even look like the god of death.

Not only was Soi-Fong stunned, but the Goat Arrancar also seemed to realize something at this time: "You too..."

"Get out." Yilong said softly.

The goat Arrancar was annoyed when he saw this: "You are not an Arrancar from the Kyonyaku Palace, and you also want to be…"

Obviously, he didn't mean to just "get out" quietly.

"No, I'm not talking to you, you'd better stay." Yilong said calmly.

At this moment, there were shrill and miserable wails all around. For some reason, those "Killians" who were supposed to have no brains all wailed in fear...

“What? How is this possible? The Killian here should not be commanded by other Hollows…” Before the Goat Arrancar could react, the surrounding “Killian” had already fled.

If other Shinigami came here and were targeted by the Arrancars who could command these "Killians", it would be a nightmare, but...

Perhaps it was because of the [Arrancar] state, facing Ichiryuu at this time, even the unconscious "Gilions" retreated as if they had encountered a natural enemy.

Soi-Fong was also stunned at this time - although Ichiryu's current appearance does not look like a "Hollow", especially if you didn't know about the thing called [Arrancar] before, you would not have any association with this appearance. After all, the mask turned into earrings and the Hollow holes were also in the earrings, which looked like ear holes, but... the nature of the spiritual pressure was very obvious and very "Hollow"!

It's just that it's much more stable than the normal "Hollow" spiritual pressure...

"Damn it... just wait for me!" The Goat Arrancar had no idea what was going on and, feeling guilty, wanted to retreat first.

However, seeing this, Soi-Fong didn't bother to interrogate Yilong and chased after him first.

"Clash! Devil's Horn!"

Seeing Soi Fong catching up in an instant, the Goat Arrancar immediately returned to his sword, and the horns on his head became longer and sharper. However... at the moment he paused to return to his sword, Soi Fong had already passed in front of him.

The next moment, the "Bee Pattern Flower" on the opponent's body suddenly expanded and became a huge four-leaf flower, and then... quickly withered, and at the same time, the opponent's spiritual pressure... and life also withered!

This is not the first time that Yilong has seen this. When they were working together before, he also saw Soi Fong use the "two-hit kill" of [Sparrow Bee] to kill people, but it is indeed not common.

After all, for enemies with weak spiritual pressure, there is no need for the "two-hit kill" effect, "normal attack" can also kill the enemy, and for enemies with too strong spiritual pressure, the effect of [Snake Bee] will always fail...

The enemy's strength this time was just right. Even after returning to the Blade state, his "spiritual pressure" was only slightly higher than Soi-Fong's, and was far from the second-class spiritual power.

Moreover, in terms of combat power, especially fighting ability, she is obviously inferior to Soi Fong. Her "spiritual pressure" is not enough to be immune to the "two-hit kill" of Sparrow Bee. She can be said to be a perfectly matched opponent.

Yilong was about to applaud for his success against Soi Fong's [Sparrow Bee] again, but at this moment, Soi Fong, who had just killed the enemy, came behind Yilong with a [Flash Step] and pressed [Sparrow Bee] against his throat...

"Shouldn't you just explain what's going on?" Soi Feng asked coldly.

"First of all, I think race should not be a barrier between us..."

Before Yilong could finish his nonsense, a small [Bee Pattern] appeared on his throat...

"If you don't behave, I'll kill you with two hits." Soi-Fong's voice came from behind Ichiryu's ear.
