Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

But actually...

After this sleep, their real bodies remained asleep, and the ones who woke up were the unaware copies!

Of course, it wasn't like no one noticed something was wrong during this period, like Fuzhu...

So today Yilong came here specially to comfort him!

After leaving the purification team, Yilong went directly to the medical team to visit several members of the special task force who had been working overtime recently.

"Deputy Captain Kotetsu, where is your captain?" As Yilong came in, the first person he saw was Kotetsu Yuune.

Of course, it's actually a replica.

The first batch of replacements were the deputy captain of the medical team and the officer in front of the eighth seat!

"Ah! Your Highness Ling Gong, the captain... is in the physical examination department." Yongyin replied immediately.

Yongyin didn't know why the captain was so busy lately and insisted on doing everything himself.

"Well, I'll go see her, you don't have to come with me." Yilong said calmly.

Because they cannot be exposed, the most crucial step of the "physical examination" is only done by Unohana Retsu and Kujo Nozomi.

Zaraki Shuang can also help them monitor the surroundings to prevent anyone from accidentally discovering anything, while Lan Dao has been making energy supply equipment!

As for the other person who knew the plan, Soi Fong, she used the [Secret Mobile Force] to monitor the entire Soul Society to prevent any clones from noticing anything.

Of course, the members of the [Secret Mobile Force] had no idea what they were monitoring. They just monitored normally and then reported everything in detail according to the commander-in-chief's requirements.

"Sister Hua, thank you for your hard work." Yilong complimented as soon as he came in.

Seeing this, Kujo Mochi couldn't help feeling embarrassed and didn't know whether to leave - he couldn't believe... Captain Shifengyuan not only had a wife and children in the real world, but was also a scumbag!

Thinking about the silly Ichigo again, Mochi couldn't help but wonder if he was his biological son?

"Your Highness Ling Gong has worked hard. He even went to the human world specially... to rescue Wang Shi." Unohana Retsu said with a smile.

Obviously, Mochi told her some things about himself, and naturally Unohana also knew that Ichiryu did not go to the human world specifically for Mochi, it was just a coincidence!

"No, no, as the Duke of Ling, it's my duty to work harder." Yilong said calmly.

"You are worthy of being His Majesty Ling Gong. You really think I am praising you." Mao Zhihua was still smiling without any strange expression.

Nozomi: ...

I don't want to stay here for a moment...

"What about the backup list?" Yilong changed the subject directly.

As expected, when talking about business, Unohana also became serious: "Half of it has been completed, and within a month... the other half will be completed!"

Then Unohana seemed to have thought of something and added, "After all these companions are cloned, how about challenging the cloned Zaraki? His power will increase, but... as long as we stimulate all his power before cloning, it will be fine, right?"

Yilong could sense that Unohana's tone was filled with a strong desire to fight.

Unohana's judgment did make sense, but Yilong still shook his head and said, "No, there's no need to take risks. Zaraki is one of the people that Aizen and Yhwach pay the most attention to..."

In this matter, if just one of them is discovered, the other clones will also be suspected, and the whole plan will be in vain!

355. Chapter 351: Shocking Change

355.

2023-12-10

1999, April 1.

The humans in the modern world are still immersed in the end of the new year, but the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo are already in a state of panic!

"Aizen has not taken any action during this year. It turns out that he is waiting for Yhwach..." Yilong has already confirmed this in his heart.

Of course, during these months, Aizen did not look for Shihouin Ichiryu.

From the moment Ichiryu became Linggong, he had basically made his cards clear - he wanted to compete with Aizen!

Not to mention, Aizen had never truly trusted Shihouin Ichiryu before, and given his personality, he certainly wouldn't bring humiliation upon himself at this time.

The only thing that made Ichiryu hesitate was that Aizen didn't even move the ones among the Ten Espada who were obviously in the same group with him...

Originally, Ichiryu was already prepared. As long as an internal conflict broke out in Hueco-Yoya, he would immediately take advantage of the chaos to have a decisive battle with Aizen in Hueco Mundo!

After all, judging from the strength on paper, the Kyonyaku is the weakest of the three...

The only advantage is Aizen's [Mirror Flower and Water Moon], which has already affected most of the captain-level Shinigami.

However, for the past few months, Aizen has been holding back, as if he and Ichiryū really have a tacit understanding.

If he didn't know Aizen well enough, Yilong would probably think that Aizen had decided in his heart that the two of them should join forces to clear Yhwach out first, and then decide who would fill the "vacancy of the throne of the sky"...

It's a good idea, but...

Ichiryu knows Aizen. He would never think of "bringing the founder of the Quincy, Kiyo, to the stage first". He would only think "I must be the final winner"!

The reason why he didn't take any action for several months, Ichiryu guessed that either he had some conspiracy, or... he was fooled by the old fox Urahara Kisuke.

If there is anyone in the world who can fool Aizen, then Urahara Kisuke must be one of them. Even Ichiryu can only be considered half of it.

However, since Aizen did not move, Ichiryu naturally did not move either. He did not conspire with Nel, Kuroko and the others, and maintained the most basic tacit understanding - the two of them had not fallen out yet. If Aizen wanted Zaraki to go to Hueco Mundo, didn't Ichiryu send him there too?

In theory, as long as the two do not meet, they will always be "allies".

Just like not contacting each other for a few months in a long-distance relationship does not mean that they have broken up.

As for Yhwach...

Ichiryu has already expelled the "Invisible Empire" from the Soul Society, so Youhabach certainly doesn't think that this guy can still be an ally - now even if Youhabach shouts everywhere that "Shihouin Ichiryu is the Star Emperor", it's useless, after all, Ichiryu is already the "Spirit Lord".

Not to mention the Star Sky Emperor, even if the Spirit King was chopped into pieces, as long as he became the "Ling Gong", he would be the actual leader of the Soul Society!

……

And with only seven days left before Yhwach's full recovery, Yilong received a piece of news that caught himself... and even the entire Soul Society, off guard!

"What?" Yilong looked at Suzuki in front of him in shock. The connection between Hueco Mundo and Soul Society did not involve the human world, so the [Paging God Machine] could not be used. Using the "Hell Butterfly" was also feared to be unsafe, so Suzuki came back in person to report to Ling Gong.

"That's right, the Marshal has already found out. Just this morning... the high-end combat forces of Xuye Palace have come out in full force and have now entered the Empire of Light!" Quebu said with certainty.

Suzube was Yamamoto's adjutant a thousand years ago and had once launched a surprise attack on Yhwach, so he is more familiar with the name "Empire of Light".

and……

After the "Invisible Empire" was expelled to the Hueco Mundo, it was indeed no longer invisible!

"Aizen actually went to attack Yhwach seven days in advance? Was he... fooled by that old fox Urahara Kisuke?" Yilong stood up from Linggong's throne and walked around but couldn't figure it out.

"What did Marshal Yamamoto say?" Yilong asked Suzube at this time.

"The Marshal has also mobilized his troops to prevent Aizen's conspiracy from succeeding!" Suzube said with certainty.

Yilong: ...

This cannot be said to be Yamamoto acting arbitrarily, after all, Ichiryu gave him the power to "make decisions on the spot".

only……

Should Yilong say "As expected of Captain Yamamoto"?

Although I have no idea what Aizen is going crazy about, a normal person would definitely hesitate to see if he can sit back and watch the fight, but...

Yamamoto rushed straight over!

Even though he didn't know what Aizen was going to do, and wasn't sure what Yhwach's condition was, he would definitely cause trouble by whatever the enemy was going to do.

Yilong even suspected that Yamamoto had been impatient for a long time.

He had not taken the initiative to provoke a decisive battle before, entirely in order to avoid "one against two". Now the situation has changed slightly... No matter what the change is or what the logic behind it is, Yamamoto decided to follow suit!

"Your Highness Linggong, please send troops immediately!" Quebu said immediately.

Although Yilong didn't agree immediately, he didn't blame him either...

Then Yilong immediately summoned all the captain-level Shinigami and announced the matter - Suebe also understood that there was no need to rush for a while.

……

"Aizen... isn't this intentionally giving us a chance?"

Many captains looked at Ling Gong in confusion, wondering if Aizen had been fooled by Ling Gong. It was not until they noticed that Ling Gong also had a puzzled look on his face that they realized that it was not the case.

"It must be the blessing of His Majesty the King of Spirits and the prestige of His Highness the Lord of Spirits that caused the two rebels to kill each other! This is a godsend opportunity. We only need to wait for His Highness the Lord of Spirits to give the order, and we will definitely take the heads of these two thieves!"

The loyal Omaeda immediately stood up and spoke.

"That makes sense...but let's listen to the opinions of other captains first." Yilong nodded approvingly.

Although most of the items present are "fakes", they are indistinguishable from the real ones.

Kyoraku then said, "I'm afraid... Aizen wants to completely defeat Yhwach within seven days, so that he can hone his own strength, digest the [Hougyoku], or even absorb Yhwach's power! I think the [Hougyoku] should be fully mature, right?"

Yilong nodded and said, "Don't rule out this possibility!"

However, Ichiryu also added: "It's just that... as for the Invisible Empire, even without considering Yhwach, its strength is definitely not weaker than ours. The 'strength' I'm talking about here has already taken into account Marshal Yamamoto and the Quincies who have abandoned darkness and joined the light. As for whether Yhwach has awakened, it only affects whether the Invisible Empire can deal with the Zero Squad!"

Yilong's words made many captains dissatisfied, but... the veteran captains all agreed with it.

The twenty members of the Knights alone are no weaker than the current Seireitei.

This is the result after Yilong killed one in advance and persuaded six to rebel, one plus one minus one...

"Your Highness Linggong, I suggest that you first send at least... half of the core combat force's vanguard troops to the Hueco Mundo to support Marshal Yamamoto!" Kyoraku made a judgment on how to deal with the current situation at this time. As for the others, they would have to observe the changes in the battle situation.

356. Chapter 352 Virtual Sea Tactics?

356.

2023-12-11

"Damn it! You filthy Voids, how dare you attack the Invisible Empire first? What do you think this place is!"

The first wave of attack from Xuye Palace was an endless "virtual sea" that stretched as far as the eye could see!

Countless "Kilions" rushed to the Ice Palace of the Invisible Empire...

These great hollows, which are not even considered Arrancar, are so numerous in the Hueco Mundo that they are flooding the world.

If it was an order-oriented person like Ichiryuu, he would have to worry about the adverse reactions caused by too many Hollows being killed by Quincies. But for Aizen, these are not a problem at all!

After being expelled to the Hueco Mundo, the Ice Palace, which was originally located in a white desert, was now surrounded by black. The only white that could be seen was the masks of the Killians...

Although the "Kilions" suddenly emerged from under the sand in an orderly manner due to the command of the "Achukas-class" Hollows and even the "Vastod-class" Hollows, the "Invisible Empire" was not slow to react.

Immediately, a Quincy wearing sunglasses, who looked of very high quality, appeared on the periphery with a team of Holy Soldiers. They were not afraid of the "virtual sea" that seemed to be as vast as the sea and tide!

It was Kiruget, the owner of the [Holy Letter J], who led the "Holy Soldiers" to fight back!

Kielge is a rare Quincy in the Stern Cross Knights who often leads troops, and the "holy soldiers" are the Quincy warriors accumulated by the Invisible Empire over the past thousand years...

Although due to resource problems in the [Shadow Realm], the absolute number of troops is not as large as the number of troops in the heyday of the "Empire of Light", but in terms of strength, it is even greater than a thousand years ago.

"Shoot!" After Kiluje gave the order, the holy soldiers surrounding the "Ice Palace" began to shoot...

Although it was a dense formation, there was no need for specific command, and dozens or even dozens of people tacitly took charge of one "Kilian".

Each of these "holy soldiers" possesses spiritual pressure that is no weaker than that of a tenth-level spiritual power. In the former Gotei 13, they would be able to serve as lower-ranking officers if they were lucky.

This is mainly due to the fact that over the past thousand years, the Invisible Empire has kept Quincy who are strong but not strong enough to break the lifespan limit of their devices frozen. In addition, the Quincy who lurked in the "Shadow Realm" back then had relatively pure bloodlines, and they have become purer and purer over the past thousand years...

That’s how much we have saved!

Moreover, unlike the scattered death gods, these "holy soldiers" were good at coordinating in military formations. At this moment, they opened their spiritual bows one after another and shot collectively. The tides of "Kilians" were shattered one after another, and batches of them came up and became part of the white sand.

Kiluge himself drew his sword...

That’s right, as a Quincy, he actually usually carries a sword!

but……

After the knife was pulled out, a bow arrow immediately unfolded from the blade, and there were multiple spirit nodes on it. In an instant, a "holy destructive arrow" condensed on each node.

That’s right, although it looks like a “knife”, it’s actually used like a bow…
