Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

She was worried that the Death Gods would cheat, or for other reasons, they would not be able to fight as Yilong had envisioned, so...

"Teacher! I think you should give me a copy of the preparations you gave to Harribel. If there is any accident, I can also deal with that guy with bangs!"

2023-10-19

After settling the [Arrancar], Ichiryu returned to "Karakuza Town", but did not go looking for the [Masked Army], but went straight back to Urahara's shop.

"Welcome back. You've been working hard these days, head of the family. How's it going? Did you find Captain Hirako and the others?" Urahara said with a concerned look.

"No, it seems that the deputy ghost master has set up some hidden ghost way." Yilong looked as if he could not see through his [Ghost Way].

"Yeah, yeah, I can't find them usually." Urahara agreed at this time.

As they said this, both of them showed an expression of "I believe it" and looked at each other with a smile.

After Yilong walked into the barrier space that seemed to be "next door", he asked in surprise: "By the way, where is Captain Soi-Fong?" Yilong did not notice Soi-Fong's spiritual pressure.

"Captain Soi-Fong...I think she's investigating something." Urahara smacked his lips helplessly.

Soi-Fong is investigating the matter between Jinta and Koyame!

If Shifengyuan Ichilong wasn't here, it wouldn't matter, but...

Now Urahara doesn't dare to expose the two children in front of Ichiryu, but this instead arouses Soi-Fong's "curiosity".

"The old master went to Soul Society?" Yilong pretended to ask casually.

"Who knows..." Urahara just pretended not to know.

However, Ichiryu had already received a tip-off that Yoruichi had returned to the Soul Society. After all, Yoruichi was one of the few Shinigami who did not rely on her Zanpakutō, so she did not need to worry about Muramasa's abilities, and...

Yilong guessed that Yoruichi went back because of the Tsunayashiro family!

Soi-Fong must have told her about the "fake body".

"Oh." Yilong sighed at this time.

Urahara Kisuke continued fanning himself with his little fan, pretending not to hear.

"Of course, what I'm worried about is not these [Arrancar] at the moment, but what exactly is Aizen plotting in Hueco Mundo? Captain Urahara should know better about the [Hougyoku] and when it will mature, right?" Ichiryuu forced himself to continue, as if Urahara had asked him the question.

Urahara: ...

Seeing that Ichiryu was so hard-nosed, Urahara had no choice but to respond helplessly: "It's not about how long it will take for the [Hougyoku] to 'mature'. After getting another [Hougyoku], it's only a matter of time before his [Hougyoku] matures. What's more important is how he can stimulate the power of the [Hougyoku]."

Urahara said this, observing Ichiryuu quietly.

Urahara would never believe that he had not colluded with Aizen, but...

If it is said that he and Aizen are not of the same mind and have his own little calculations, Urahara also believes it!

In this case, there is still room for cooperation on Aizen's matter. As for the future... it depends on what his purpose is.

Others might not believe the seemingly high-sounding reasons that Ichiryu gave in front of Soi-Fong and Yoruichi, but Urahara did not blindly deny it.

only……

Urahara is also very clear that these guys who keep saying "for the existence of the Three Realms" may sometimes do things that are even more cruel than the conspirators who say "I want to rule the Three Realms"!

"Inspiration... Captain Urahara, what exactly did you want to do when you prepared the [Hougyoku]?" Yilong asked calmly at this time, as if he was asking about something trivial.

"It's just an accident, just an accident. Many scientific research results rely on accidents, hahaha..." Urahara said modestly.

"Captain Urahara started researching the [Hougyoku] after the establishment of the Technology Development Bureau, right? Could it be... that Captain Hikifune or Captain Shudra left something behind?" Yilong asked further.

The last new captain to join Squad Zero was Kiryu Hikifune of the Gotei 13 - although there was no "Technical Development Bureau" at the time, Squad 12 was already a "technical team".

The last person to join Squad Zero was Shutara Senjumaru.

Although Shudorashi Senjumaru was not a member of the Gotei 13, he was the last director of the Seireitei Research Institute.

After she left, Urahara Kisuke, who was then the vice-captain of the Second Division, had already begun preparing for the "Technical Development Bureau".

Soon after, Hikifune Kiryu joined the Zero Division, and Urahara Kisuke was transferred from the Second Division to the Twelfth Division as captain. At the same time, the "Technical Development Bureau" also replaced the original "Seireitei Research Institute".

And right after Shudra left, Urahara followed the principle of "when someone leaves, the tea gets cold" and released Kurotsuchi Mayuri, who was imprisoned in the maggot nest by Shudra, to be his assistant...

At that time, Aizen's performance was not amazing, he could only be described as an average middle-level Shinigami!

Just from what Aizen witnessed, the two people who joined the Zero Squad were not simple. If they were still in the Gotei 13, even if the threat they posed could not reach the level of old man Yamamoto and Kenpachi Zaraki, they would not be inferior to Unohana Retsu.

More importantly, after joining Squad Zero, their bodies will be transformed by the special spirit particles in the Soul King Palace, making them even stronger, and even... making them different from ordinary Shinigami in terms of the essence of life.

Aizen has always suspected that when Urahara Kisuke discovered the [Hōgyoku] and began to prepare it, his main reference target was these guys in Squad Zero.

However, Yilong has never obtained the [Broken Jade] on his own, and does not know much about the [Broken Jade] itself. All of Yilong’s speculations about the properties of the [Broken Jade] are just guesses - but they are "well-founded guesses"!

Even though he had never come into contact with [Broken Jade], Yilong had already guessed a lot...

Judging from the time when [Hougyoku] was first prepared, Ichiryu suspected that Urahara's pardoning of Kurotsuchi Mayuri from the [Maggot Nest] might be related to [Hougyoku]. Even... the reason why Kurotsuchi Mayuri was thrown into the [Maggot Nest] by Shutra might also be related to related matters!

Judging from Kurotsuchi Mayuri's reaction, he had no idea what [Henggyoku] was before...

Therefore, Ichiryu speculated that some of Kurotsuchi Mayuri's technology was used in the preparation of the [Hougyoku], but this was a very branched application, so Kurotsuchi Mayuri did not know what Urahara was really doing.

Shudra therefore realized the danger of Kurotsuchi Mayuri and locked him up in the [Maggot Nest] - after all, the [Maggot Nest] does not require evidence or even charges, as long as one is deemed "dangerous to Seireitei", he will be locked up there.

If it was Kurotsuchi Mayuri, he would have exploded if he was suspected of having invented something "based on Urahara's legacy".

However, facing Ichiryu's doubt, Urahara just laughed and said, "It's possible... After all, the two captains are my role models, so I might be influenced by them involuntarily."

Seeing that Urahara didn't want to tell him anything about the [Hogyoku], Ichiryu had to give up first, and then said meaningfully: "Speaking of which... if there is really someone who can stop Aizen from completely activating the [Hogyoku], it would be you, Captain Urahara, right?"

"You are too kind, Mr. Family Head." Urahara seemed to have heard some hidden meaning.

And just then...

Drop drop-

Including Urahara, Ichiryu, and other Shinigami who were resting in the distance, "alarms" sounded on their bodies, and everyone took out paging devices that had transformed into various shapes.

"Captain! There is a signal of a Hollow... very strong! And... there are so many of them! At least dozens of them..." Hinamori hurried over to report.

"Well, they must be stopped!" Yilong seemed to have seen the damage they had done to the city.

"But... at this time..." Kira Izuru looked a little worried - this was obviously a way to lure the tiger away from the mountain, right?

"Stop fussing. If you don't want to go out, just leave it to our combat team!" Yijiao said disdainfully.

"No, there are too many...Everyone, get ready! We don't know if it's a trap, but...as the gods of death who maintain the balance of the three realms, we can't let them do whatever they want!"

Yilong said righteously.

Soon, Urahara's shop was deserted, leaving only Urahara and Gureki Tessai, and... the Masked Army who had rushed over immediately after noticing the powerful Hollow Reiatsu reactions all over Karakura Town!

245. Chapter 244 Confusion

245.

2023-10-20

At Urahara Shoten, after the Shinigami of the expeditionary army were led away, members of the Masked Army rushed over - the commotion caused by Picaro was, in any way, a diversion.

So for the [Masked Army], of course the primary goal is to "destroy Aizen's plan"!

Their guess was correct. Not long after, a "black cavity" appeared in the sky above Urahara's store, and then the group of [Arrancar] who were originally in Naruki City appeared...

However, the "Minotaur" was not seen in Urahara's lineup, and of course there was no Ikuryu among the Arrancar.

"Oh my, there seems to be a new face here this time? How about that boy number six? He is taking care of my child, and I haven't said hello to him yet." Urahara asked in a frivolous tone.

When Grimmjow attacked before, he was not known what he was doing and was not in the store.

"Mr. Urahara, I'm really sorry that we didn't meet last time. We're here on behalf of Lord Aizen to invite you to meet in Hueco Mundo." Harribel said politely on the surface.

"Aizen... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the store's business needs people right now, otherwise... I'll definitely do it next time?" Urahara obviously shirked his responsibility.

"Oh." Harribel said as she pulled out her uniquely shaped [Zanpakuto] from behind.

The hollowed-out blade was aimed at Urahara's store, and spirit particles immediately poured in. The next moment, Harribel stabbed straight at it...

Bo Cang Cannon!

I saw a blade-like flash, blasting towards Urahara's store - let's see if you can still handle this crappy business!

Urahara immediately "flash stepped" over, pointed with the crutch in his hand, and fired a spirit particle cannon at it. No one knew what kind of "ghost method" it was, but there was an explosion immediately.

And in the smoke produced by the collision of spirit particles, there was a continuous "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound, and the "Arrancars" that were originally in the air suddenly rushed into the smoke collectively!

While the smoke was still there, a group of Arrancars rushed in, each aiming at their own opponent...

but……

The smoke only slightly obscured the vision, and the Urahara Shoten was far from being caught off guard!

Urahara Kisuke was the first to be hit. He saw a burly "Arrancar" using [Ringing Turn] to instantly appear in front of him, and then took out something the size of an eraser, with black cracks constantly spreading into the surrounding space!

The next moment, there was a feeling of space tearing, and the two were already in an independent space!

Everyone else had a similar experience, except Apache, Mira, and Sun Sun. The three of them used the same [Anti-Membrane Bandit], and the target... was Liu Che Quanxi!

The reason why the three of them were able to use one was because their spiritual pressure could resonate completely for a short period of time - this was also the basis for them to summon the "Beast God"...

But they can still only trap one Grim Reaper, so Yilong arranged for them... the more reliable Rokuguruma Kensi!

All of the Arrancars rushed in, came to their opponents, and immediately activated [Anti-Membrane Bandits]...

When the dust settled, there was no one around Urahara's shop!

It's not that the members of the Masked Army were unprepared, but... they were not too resistant to this "one-on-one" fight. After all, they didn't want to engage in a direct melee in the real world, otherwise the entire "Karakuza Town" would be lost.

What's more... they were well prepared and were not afraid of this tactic of dividing the battlefield.

……

At this time, Harribel set her eyes on Mako Hirako, and taking advantage of the dust from the explosion, she directly [Turn] to the side of the girl with the bangs, and then activated [Anti-Membrane Bandit] without hesitation!

After the two entered the sealed space of the [Anti-Membrane Bandits], Hirako Mako calmly looked around and said, "I see, this is your tactic... Do you want to fight separately?"

Harribel frowned slightly at this time, feeling something was strange, but still said: "Are you ready to learn a lesson?" As she spoke, she raised her "Zanpakuto".

At this time, Hirako Mako looked at Harribel and said, "As expected, it seems that none of you have the ability to restrain Hirako's [Reverse Caress]. Do you still have to rely on you to delay?"

Hearing the other party's words, Harribel's pupils shrank, and she realized something.

The next moment, there was a "pop" sound, and "Hirako Mako" shattered like a bubble, and was replaced by...Aikawa Ratake!

Seeing that the "bangs" had turned into a "starfish head", Harribel said inwardly: Not good!

I am not here to delay, but I can really deal with Mako Hirako, but... can others deal with Mako Hirako's [Counter Caress]?

Harribel could only hope that it was Nelliel who met the real Hirako Mako!

"Now's not the time to worry about the others... Break it, Tengumaru!"

Aikawa Ratake drew his sword and used the Shikai. If Kuchiki Byakuya was there, he would definitely be amazed at the powerful Shikai, because...

[Tengumaru] is too big!

It’s completely the size of a Bankai…

[Shikai] It is seven or eight meters long and very wide. It is an extremely huge cactus-shaped mace!

When it was swung, not only was there a strong wind, but there was also a roar of fire.

Seeing this, Harribel also sighed: "Well, I'll deal with you first...Conquer him, Queen Mermaid!"

I saw that Harribel had also entered the state of [Returning to the Blade] at this time. Aikawa Luowu looked very imposing, but he was actually very unsure in his heart. After all...

Harribel is suspected to be the strongest among the opponents, and according to Hirako, she has water-related abilities. This... Aikawa Luowu is under a lot of pressure!

At the same time, Aikawa Luowu was also a little depressed. Why did she find Hirako Mako again? She originally thought that the other party could find someone who could restrain Hirako Mako!

And this time Urahara is also here...

Urahara usually doesn't show his true colors, but Aikawa Luomu feels that Urahara is a very hidden talent!
