Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

2023-10-06

Asido, the vice-captain of the 11th Division who disappeared three hundred years ago. The captain of the 11th Division at that time was Kenpachi Kuriyashiki, who was killed by a "sneak attack" during the double challenge of Zaraki. The 11th Division at that time also had the "peak of charm" in the past thousand years.

Although the soldiers of the 11th Division now extremely admire Kenpachi Zaraki, his reputation in the outside world is very low.

At that time, the 11th Division was a very attractive organization in the entire Soul Society, and the other divisions also admired it. The number of female soldiers in the division was second only to the 4th Division in charge of medical care...

Take Leylin now for example. Even though he has been fighting in Hueco Mundo for three hundred years, he still lacks the war-crazy temperament of the current 11th Squadron. He still has a restrained and gentle side in his fighting spirit.

At this time, it was discovered that "Lin's" identity seemed to be exposed, and the previous heads of Shifengyuan came to "hunt down" him, so... he immediately became alert, ready to call on his companions at any time to help "Lin" solve the trouble!

……

Although he did not show any intention of taking action immediately, Soi-Fong and Yoruichi could sense the attitude of this expeditionary force invisibly, and became confused for a moment - how did this guy Ichiryu/Shihouin do it?

"Old Patriarch, have you also heard of Deputy Captain Asido?" Yilong asked calmly at this time.

Mainly to ease the atmosphere.

Lei Lin was stunned when he heard this - could it be that even the previous head of the Shifengyuan clan didn't expose "Lin"? You are indeed worthy of it!

"Of course, after all, I'm very old, hahaha..." Ye Yi joked to himself.

When Asido "disappeared", Yoruichi was indeed born, but she was still very young at the time and was only doing basic training in the Shifengyuan family. She was far from becoming the head of the family and in charge of the "Secret Mobile Force". However, this already allowed Yoruichi to have some knowledge of Asido.

Initially, from the perspective of Seireitei, this "friend of Kuriyashiki" and "vice-captain of the 11th Division" "disappeared" during a mission, along with several members of the 11th Division.

It was not until decades later that people learned that he had broken into the "Black Chamber", entered the Hueco Mundo, and was trapped in the "Great Hollow Forest" - it was impossible to directly open the [Gate] here, and at that time, Asido and his companions were ambushed by several "Yachukas" and could not get out.

More than fifty years later, he finally reconnected with Seireitei...

However, on the one hand, several of his companions who entered with him died or went missing, and on the other hand, Asido learned that Captain Kuriyashiki was dead, so they did not choose to go back, but instead stayed in the "Great Hollow Forest"!

Afterwards, in the records of Seireitei, Asido changed from "missing" to "establishing the Asido Expeditionary Force".

Like most expeditionary forces, they gradually lost contact with the Soul Society over time - most of this expeditionary force had been "annihilated", and the Soul Society, which was accustomed to this, would not go out of its way to look for them.

"Back then, the deeds of Mr. Asido and all of you were widely publicized in the Soul Society. You were the great heroes of the Gotei 13 and the expeditionary force." Yoruichi said sincerely at this time.

Asido and his companions decided to stay, not only to commemorate their deceased companions, to look for companions whose deaths were uncertain, and to express their dissatisfaction with the death of Captain Kuriyashiki, but also because they discovered some rules of the "Great Hollow Forest" and realized that this was the place where the "random black cavity" leading to the real world was most likely to appear...

Killing the Void who wants to enter the real world here can fundamentally protect the "real world" and complete the mission of the god of death.

When Lei Lin heard the former head of the Shifengyuan family say this, his expression relaxed a little.

at the same time……

"No, no, we are just wandering souls..."

Another Shinigami wearing a somewhat tattered Shinigami suit and a mask appeared - of course, this "Shihagaku" only looked tattered, it was not actually really damaged. After all, this was the "Shihagaku" formed by their spiritual pressure, it was just more adapted to the combat environment here.

The Death God who had just appeared at this time had short wine-red hair, and his "Death Tyrant Suit" was even more exaggerated than Leylin's. On the fur cloak behind him, there were seven medium-sized masks sewn on them - all of them were masks of the Achucas-class Hollows!

Ye Yi had just noticed his approach, and when he saw his attire, he understood even more... This was probably not just a "shield", but for them, it should be something similar to a medal.

In the past three hundred years, Asido has killed at least seven Achucas. It seems that his strength has improved greatly over the years.

And Asido's arrival shouldn't just be a coincidence, it seems...

Leylin didn't just "look like he was asking for help" just now, but he had already asked for help in some covert way - no wonder Yoruichi and Soi-Fong didn't notice it. After all, they had been fighting in a ghost place like the Great Hollow Forest for so long, they must have their own unique methods.

"However, the number of Hollows in the world has really decreased, right?" Asido said as he took off his mask.

Perhaps because he could see that there was no tension at the scene, Asido was quite relaxed at this time.

"Of course, over the past two hundred years, the probability of Hollows entering from the Hueco Mundo appearing in the current Spiritual Land has been greatly reduced...but this cannot affect the number of Hollows born in the Spiritual Land itself. So now in the Spiritual Land, most of the Hollows are born locally, rather than entering from the Hueco Mundo." Yilong said as a matter of course.

The "Purification Team" is also under the jurisdiction of the [Expedition Force]. Yilong, who has always been conscientious and responsible, of course knows all this.

According to the data from the "Purification Team", three hundred years ago, the current heavy spiritual land was not only more dangerous than it is now, but more than 80% of the Hollows were invaded by Hueco Mundo. Now, more than 95% of the Hollows in the heavy spiritual land are local transformations, and it is rare to see people from Hueco Mundo entering...

In addition to the fact that the population density has increased and there are more "wholes", the number of Hollows entering the real world from the Hueco Mundo has decreased significantly!

For these ordinary virtual beings, if they want to enter the "real world", they can only wait for the "random black cavity" to appear. At that time, a "delicious" smell that is extremely tempting to them will come from the other side of the black cavity.

As for those powerful Hollows, if they want to enter the "real world", they can open the "black chamber" themselves, but they will not do so easily - they can understand that although they can have a good meal by entering the real world or going to the Rukongai of Soul Society, they will face the siege of the God of Death afterwards, which is not worth the loss...

"That's good..." Asido breathed a sigh of relief, and then he forced a smile on his stiff face when facing Yilong: "Lin, long time no see."

“Ah, cough, cough… Yeah, it’s been a while since I saw Shifengyuan in the Great Void Forest.” Lei Lin coughed violently at this time, and winked at the same time, as if to remind Asido.

Unfortunately, they didn't even know the name "Yilong". It was just that when they last met Lin more than a hundred years ago, he said that he was going to sneak into the Soul Society as a member of the "Shifengyuan clan"...

"Hey...'Lin' ah..." At this time, Ye Yi looked at Yilong with a playful smile.

Meanwhile, Yoruichi only felt the fog around Ichiryū getting heavier.

Whether it was the legend of Asido or his attitude just now, it didn't seem fake, so...

This is definitely not the god of death who will be tempted by interests!

Being recognized and trusted by Ashida, and even feeling that "Lin's impersonation of the Shifengyuan family must be justified and correct", this is definitely not something that a "great hollow Arrancar transformed with the help of Aizen" can do...

207. Chapter 206 Three Hundred Years Ago

207.

2023-10-07

Two hundred and eighty years ago, in the Great Void Forest, after another fierce battle.

“Deputy Captain, Ke has already…” Leylin looked at his companion who had already lost his breath in his arms, with a look of grief.

After a moment of silence, Asido said, "Let's go back to the Vanilla Forest and see him off for the last time."

Of the dozen companions who entered Hueco Mundo together, only half are left now - the last seven.

Now they also know that the place where they are now is the legendary "Great Void Forest".

Previously, Asido's small team of Shinigami were chasing a seriously injured "Achukas", and took advantage of the opponent's inability to open the "Anti-Membrane" and chased into the "Hueco Mundo".

In theory, they can also summon the "Hell Butterfly", open the [Gate], and leave the "Hueco Mundo", so the risks are controllable.

But for some reason, the "Hell Butterfly" could not enter here anymore.

Afterwards, they explored the way while observing the situation here. They found that black cavities leading to the "real world" often appeared here, and they killed many virtual beings who wanted to enter the "real world" here.

However, this also attracted the attention of some "Yachukas". Although they could not enter the "Great Hollow Forest" for a long time, they could guard outside. As a result, Asido and his companions were trapped in the "Great Hollow Forest", facing the danger of being besieged by "Kilian" at all times.

More than 30 years have passed, and half of Asido's team has been reduced to the last seven people...

The so-called "Vanilla Forest" is in the underground part of the "Great Hollow Forest", a hidden corner surrounded by several sand curtains and rarely reached by Hollows. Asido and his companions used a very small amount of soil, which might have come from the real world, to plant some normal plants, which became the only greenery in the "Great Hollow Forest".

After that, whenever any of his companions died, Asido would bury them here.

But this time when we came to the "Vanilla Forest"...or perhaps it should be called the "Vanilla Lawn", we encountered a different scene!

"Who is it?" When Asido and his only remaining companion passed through the thick sand curtain and came to the vanilla forest, they were suddenly frightened.

"Deputy Captain, what's wrong?" Lei Lin and the others became alert upon seeing this.

"Hehehe, did you actually find out?"

"It's a waste to bury you here. It's better to bury you in my stomach!"

"Death God, are you having fun running rampant in the Great Hollow Forest?"

Four "Yachucas" of different shapes emerged from the surrounding sand curtain, obviously ambushing Asido and his men!

"You...how could you?" Asido's pupils shrank upon seeing this - they had been able to survive in the Great Void Forest for thirty years before, largely because the "Yachukas" would not easily enter here.

The entire "Great Hollow Forest" is like a "Great Hollow Petri Dish". After becoming an "Achukas" or a conscious "Kilian", it has basically reached the limit of cultivation and will leave here instinctively.

Even if you overcome your instincts, you will lose your appetite here. Over time, you may even permanently lose some of your virtual qualities, which will lead to an inability to evolve or even degeneration!

Therefore, they did not encounter "Yachucas-class" enemies very often...

Ordinary Hollows are not strong enough and Gillian's brain is too poor to find this place. As for Yachukas, as long as he can enter the Hollow Forest for a long time, it is not surprising that he finds this place.

Among these four "Achukas", three were ones that Asido had seen before, two of them came in briefly to chase him but were later repelled, and the other one was an Achukas that was born here, and was surrounded and killed by him when it was just born... But why can they stay in the Great Void Forest for a long time now?

"Hehehe, do you think we are still the same as before?" A big monster that looked like a scorpion with three tails laughed.

"That's right. Although I failed to become an Arrancar, after calming down, I was able to overcome the psychological burden brought by the Hollow Forest. Doesn't this make me think of you... Ashido!" The centaur-like Hollow obviously has a grudge against Ashido.

"Let's fight this battle quickly and resolve it quickly. If that nosy 'Lin' knew that we have been working so hard for this, he might meddle in our affairs!" said the gorilla-like Daxu.

This was the first time that Asido heard the name "Lin", but at that time he didn't know who Lin was.

Although the place where Lin teaches is not far from the "Great Void Forest", Asido and his friends have never been out.

As for the fact that these Yachukas were able to come in at this time, it was indeed Lin’s “credit”…

"Let's go!" Asido immediately burst out with spiritual pressure, and at the same time called on other companions to retreat, while he himself went forward.

however……

The four Achucas, at this point, were completely beyond their "hunting" strength and were completely capable of surrounding and killing them!

Just when Asido was about to be stung by the scorpion's tail...

I saw a double-headed spear piercing through Scorpion Daxu in an instant, and his body was completely torn into two pieces by the rotating spear!

He actually killed an "Achukas" with just one strike - the Hollow is not the god of death, and his body is very strong. It is not easy to kill it instantly even if he attacks by surprise, and... the opponent was already in the middle of a battle, and was even in an "ambush" before, which was the time when he was at his most sensitive and alert. Could this be considered a sneak attack?

"I see. I was wondering why the four of you suddenly changed your ways."

At this moment, the Centaur... no, Nellielu, who was a Centaur, walked out from behind the sand curtain.

Seeing the newcomer, Asido and the others were stunned - what is this...?

Vastod?

But even Vastod had never heard of something so "small" and even so anthropomorphic - the upper body looked very similar to a human, especially the facial features, which looked like a woman.

Even... the "mask" that is a symbol of emptiness, only some is left on the forehead!

"Ni, Nellielu? What are you going to do? Lin... the teacher didn't say that we can't attack the Shinigami who come to Hueco Mundo. He just restricted us to Soul Society and the real world to devour the whole world! This place is no longer within the scope of teaching!" The gorilla said in panic.

"First of all..." Nellielu's face darkened, and she continued, "The teacher is my teacher, not your teacher. You can just call him Master Lin." Her tone was very cold and rejecting.

Then Nelliel's tone softened as she said, "Secondly, it's true that the teacher didn't say that you can't attack the Shinigami who come to Hueco Mundo, but... he didn't say that I can't kill you either! Like you said, this is no longer the scope of teaching!"

"Wait... there's no benefit in you killing us. You're already a Vastod, and you're an Arrancar. There's no need for you to devour us..." The Centaur-looking Hollow had just opened his mouth when he was pierced through and killed instantly by the Emerald Shot thrown by Nellielu again.

"Your ugly appearance is already an eyesore. If it weren't for the teacher's order, I wouldn't want you to appear in front of the teacher..." Nellielu said with a relieved expression on her face.

In Nellie's view, this completely non-anthropomorphic Centaur Hollow's appearance in front of the teacher was tantamount to slandering his "figure" to the teacher - what if the teacher thought that the Centaur's appearance was not cute?

"Damn it! Fight her!"

"That's right, it's just Vastod!"

The gorilla Hollow and the tentacle Hollow shouted at the same time.

but……

The two of them moved in perfect harmony and fled at the same time, with no intention of risking their lives.

Nellielu raised the [Emerald Shooter] again, but at this moment... Nellielu seemed to have discovered something.

Asido and the others were shocked. They only saw a strange Hollow that looked like a half-human antelope. At this moment, the weapon suddenly turned into a "shallow-beating"-like knife, and the lower body that was originally different from that of a human was now completely transformed into a normal human, and a white uniform appeared on the body...

"Teacher! Over here... those guys really had bad intentions. Luckily I arrived in time and stopped two of them. The other two escaped." Nellielu said in a somewhat coquettish tone.

The strong contrast made Asido and others feel uncomfortable.

At the same time, they also saw a seemingly "blind" Hollow walk in...

If the Hollow called "Nelliel" still has some characteristics of a "Hollow", then the "blind man" who has come out now can only be judged by his spiritual pressure and is indeed closer to a "Hollow".

"So that's how it is. It turns out that the God of Death appeared in the Great Hollow Forest... No wonder I felt weird recently." Lin immediately understood.

"Who are you? Are you hollow?" Asido pointed his knife at Nellielu and Lin.

Although Nelliel had saved them just now, but...

Hollows are enemies of the Shinigami, and that will definitely not change.

"Don't be nervous, we're just Arrancars passing by." Lin said calmly.
