The journey from the Quincy

Although the ancestors of the five great nobles were born a million years ago, the history of the noble families in Seireitei and the history of the ruling regime of Seireitei are not as long as a million years.

For example, Shihouin Yoruichi, she is only the 22nd head of the Shihouin family.

Except for the immortal members of Squad Zero, ordinary Shinigami themselves have a limit to their lifespan. Even if the head of each generation can be in power for thousands of years, it only adds up to tens of thousands of years.

The aristocratic games of Seireitei are nothing more than a child's play compared to Hyōshubu Ichibei, who has guarded this world for a million years. They are not worth mentioning and he has no special feelings for Seireitei at all.

As for the Gotei 13, which was originally a killer organization and was the sharp blade to protect the Soul Society, he was even less interested in it.

Chapter 34: Six-car boxing on the bed

"There's no need for that. Almost all the people on the list to be taken away are here."

Shutara Senjumaru floated on his toes, and unknowingly he had pulled out the unconscious Byakuya Kuchiki, Kenpachi Zaraki, and Kensei Muguruma from the Fourth Division and placed them in the sphere held by the golden arm behind him. "The former Shinigami deputy Ginjo Kūgo is the only one left."

However, Ginjo Kūgo has been taken in by Shiba Kūkaku, so there is no need to look for him specifically. In any case, the way back to the Soul King Palace requires passing through the Flower Crane Cannon for launch, so it's just on the way there.

Among the people who were taken away, Byakuya Kuchiki is a descendant of the five great nobles and the current head of the family, and Kenpachi Zaraki's combat effectiveness has huge room for improvement.

Given Ichigo Kurosaki's ambiguous attitude and unclear stance, it is only natural to try to increase the combat power of the Shinigami as much as possible and allow the beast Kenpachi Zaraki to be fully unleashed.

As for Muguruma Kensei, he was just a casual addition and was not of much use to Squad Zero, but he was a captain after all, and he happened to be lying in the same ward with Kenpachi Zaraki and Byakuya Kuchiki, so he might as well just take him back and save him.

It is very normal for Renji Abarai not to be selected by Squad Zero to enjoy the benefits.

Rukia Kuchiki is missing, and Ichigo Kurosaki is in an emo state in the real world. They failed to provide timely support to Soul Society and there is even a risk of their stance wavering.

Without the status of a noble son-in-law brought by Kuchiki Rukia, and the status of a super-human being blessed by his close friend Kurosaki Ichigo, the Soul King's backup, Abarai Renji, a house dog who is not even a captain, is not worthy of being recorded in the books of the proud Zero Squad and taken to the Soul King Palace.

He was just a vice-captain. Also a vice-captain, Kira Izuru had half of his body beaten to pieces but did not get the privilege of being taken to the Soul King Palace. He lost the double halo of being Kuchiki's son-in-law and the brother of the next Soul King. However, as Kuchiki Byakuya's adjutant, Renji was completely worthless and was not worthy of being remembered by Squad Zero.

"That won't work. The three people in the sphere are in critical condition and can't leave Seireitei. You can't take them away."

As a doctor, Unohana Retsu naturally couldn't bear to see a critically ill patient being taken around, so he spoke out to stop it.

Shutara Senjumaru glanced at Kirinji Tenshiro and hinted with his eyes that the other party should solve the problem as he was too lazy to explain.

"That's why we have to take them away. You know very well that you can't restore them with your own strength."

So Kirinji Tianshilang stepped forward and said, "You know, Retsu. At this time, what you should do now is not to treat, but to pick up the knife again and become the terrifying villain you once were."

Unohana's face looked very ugly when she heard that.

It's not that she feels offended, nor is she opposed to picking up the knife to kill people again. She is a villain who has devoted herself to the Shura path and enjoys fighting. She learned healing just to better enjoy the pleasure of killing people. How could she be opposed to returning to the battlefield?

But she keenly realized that the other party seemed to intend to use their own way to forcibly awaken the power sealed in Kenpachi Zaraki's unconsciousness, and she had no right to intervene. This was the most crucial thing.

In other words, she no longer has the chance to eat the "meat" she has set her eyes on, and she doesn't need to bother to train the successor of "Kenpachi" that she is most optimistic about. Both Unohana Retsu and Kenpachi Zaraki will be killing weapons against the Quincies in this war.

Squad Zero deprived Unohana Retsu of her "child custody rights" as a mother, and took away Unohana's "vibrating toy", which was her favorite as a woman but she had always been reluctant to use, forbidding her to die of happiness.

It was like saying to her directly: You—are not allowed to laugh!

At this moment, Unohana Retsu, with her eyes filled with anger, wanted to draw her sword against Squad Zero, but she understood the huge gap between the two and could only endure it, closing her eyes again and saying nothing.

"Why is there Ginjo Kūgo's name?"

Ukitake Jushiro clenched his fists and his face was gloomy.

Has the situation deteriorated to this point?

Ginjō Kūgo has many identities: the first agent of the God of Death, a Fullbringer, and - a candidate for the Soul King.

"Floating Bamboo..."

Mako Hirako looked at Ukitake in surprise.

This is the first time I've seen this usually nice guy suddenly have such a scary expression.

"Everything we do is just following the will of the Soul King."

Hyoshubu Ichibei stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Is the candidate that the Soul King requested really Ginjo Kūgo instead of Kurosaki Ichigo? Ginjo Kūgo hates the Shinigami very much. Is he really willing to cooperate with you?"

Kyoraku Shunsui suddenly said meaningfully.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly talking about Ichigo again? I heard from Hiyori that the boy suffered a great shock and it will take him a while to recover. Besides, it doesn't seem right to always trouble Ichigo with our Shinigami matters."

Mako Hirako felt a little strange, and he felt that these old men who spoke with ulterior motives didn't seem to have anything good to say.

Of course, if it was necessary to sacrifice Ichigo, Makoto Hirako would not be particularly resistant, otherwise he would not have returned to Soul Society to become a Shinigami again and become the captain of the Gotei 13.

"Ichigo Kurosaki is currently exploring the origin of his life in the present world. He has already stood at a crossroads in his life, so he should not be interfered with by any outside interference. Everything can only be decided by himself."

The hypocritical Hyoshubu Ichibei still had a naive smile on his face.

It is impossible for humans to exist completely independently of society, and Ichigo Kurosaki will definitely be affected by various things. With Ichigo Kurosaki's naturally kind nature, even if he knew everything, he probably wouldn't want to listen to Yhwach's nonsense, and would only think about protecting the current world and everything he has.

Moreover, the descendants of the Shiba clan seem to have a strong self-sacrificing trait.

So no matter how much Kurosaki Ichigo hesitates, for the sake of his relatives and friends, and to prevent the collapse of the existing world, he will eventually stand on the side of the God of Death.

However, one cannot eat hot tofu in a hurry. The monk would rather give Kurosaki Ichigo more time to think about his life and make sacrifices for the world voluntarily, rather than act too roughly and cause the other party to rebel and ruin the whole thing.

As for Ginjo Kūgo, a ready-made candidate for the Soul King, it would be better to take this spare tire of Jinn back with him first, as it would provide an extra layer of protection.

As for whether this is the will of Lord Ling Wang, is it important?

As long as it is not expressly prohibited by Lord Ling Wang, then everything is tacitly approved by Lord Ling Wang.

"Let him make the decision himself? Humph, it seems that you are pinning your hopes on Kurosaki Ichigo."

Mayuri Kuroda said sarcastically, "It seems that you are plotting something, but Urahara Kisuke seems to have lost his power as a god of death and his control over Kurosaki Ichigo. I hope he can really cooperate with you."

With that bastard Urahara Kisuke around, how could Ichigo Kurosaki have the right to make his own decisions?

Be it a conspiracy or an open plot, Ichigo Kurosaki will eventually be pushed to the forefront by Urahara Kisuke and the people around him. That naive fool never had the opportunity to choose another path from beginning to end, otherwise Urahara Kisuke would be the first to eliminate Ichigo Kurosaki who became a hidden danger.

It seems that Team Zero regards Ichigo Kurosaki as a secret weapon to defend against the enemy. Facing the returning Quincies, Team Zero completely disregards and ignores the Shinigami of the Gotei 13, but pays special attention to the humans in the world. This is really funny.

"Ah~ Isn't this Mayuri? While transporting the wounded just now, I took some time to go to the Technology Development Bureau. But the alert level of your laboratory seems to be much lower than when I was there. And your secret plan is really not aesthetically pleasing. You touch those filthy things all day long. No wonder you stink."

Shutra Senjumaru looked at Kurotsuchi Mayuri with a smile.

She and Kuroshio Mayuri used to be members of the same research team, but later she was promoted to Squad Zero as the team leader, while Kuroshio Mayuri went to the Maggot Nest to wait for his turn.

As for Urahara Kisuke, both the members of Squad Zero and Kurotsuchi Mayuri actually felt from the bottom of their hearts that he would not sink like this, and would definitely recover his strength quickly by various means, and then push Kurosaki Ichigo to the position where he should be, so there was no need to discuss Urahara Kisuke any more for the time being.

"You are still so rude, Shutara Senjumaru."

Kurotsuchi Mayuri's eyes were gloomy. "Aren't you guys supposed to be busy with work? Why are you still standing here wandering around?"

Squad Zero is full of those contemptuous guys, it's really infuriating.

Chapter 35: The “Darkness” That Does Not Belong to This World

The area in front of Shiba Kūkaku's residence was scarlet, stained with a large amount of blood.

Ginjo Kūgo fell in a pool of blood, his body mostly melted, he was completely dead. Tsukishima Hidekuro's heart was pierced through his chest, he also died quickly, and like Ginjo Kūgo his whole body was melted, leaving only some broken body parts scattered on the ground.

Tsuzawa Kiriko's body was cut in half and she had died a long time ago. Her body was the most intact among the three.

Shiba Ganju was not dead, but his abdomen was pierced and he bled too much, so he was temporarily unconscious.

There were two strong men and a wild boar lying next to Ganju. As for his sister Shiba Kūkaku, she did not lie on the cold ground outside like her brother. Instead, she was alone in the house, got drunk like a puff and fainted several times before charging again.

With her personal bravery, heroic spirit, and fearless spirit of sacrifice, she successfully saved the lives of her brother and servants.

When the members of Squad Zero arrived at Shiba Kūkaku's residence, Shiba Kūkaku, who was leaking fluid all over, was sitting at the door of his house with a melancholy look on his face, smoking a pipe.

Although Shiba Kūkaku looks radiant and her skin is rosy and soft, her tired and dazed eyes and melancholy and sad temperament make people feel pity for her.

Shiba Ganju became a little crazy, and was frantically using his family spell "Stone Wave" on the blood-red mud, destroying the spiritual connection of all matter in front of him and turning everything he saw into pure white fine sand.

The two sturdy servants, Jin Yan and Yin Yan, had red and moist eyes. They covered their freshly bandaged wounds and stood aside like ants on a hot pan, not knowing what to do.

"What a naughty little devil."

The monk stopped smiling when he saw the scene and said with some worry.

"Humph, you are such a bold and reckless guy who doesn't know how to live or die."

Shutara Senjumaru's expression was also as cold as ice.

It’s not that the people of Squad Zero sympathized with the plight of Shiba Kūkaku’s family, but they felt provoked. The dignity of Squad Zero was being despised and trampled upon, and they felt it was a great waste that Ginjo Kūgo, the Soul King candidate, was destroyed.

Because everyone in Squad Zero could feel that the murderer had just left the crime scene not long ago.

In other words, the daring murderer committed the crime right under the nose of Squad Zero, and only when they were about to arrive did he leisurely deal with the scene and then left.

"What an arrogant bastard. Do you think this is more exciting? But he's really fast."

Kirinji Tenshiro held a stick in his mouth and knocked the crazy Shiba Ganju unconscious. Then he squatted down and used his index and middle fingers to wipe the remaining blood and unknown liquid on the ground and analyzed it. "This toxin... is a bit scary, but don't you think the effect of this toxin seems to be very similar to something?"

In just a moment, a puff of smoke came out of his fingers, and some of the residual liquid that was specially extracted from them actually corroded the skin of Qilinji Tianshilang's fingers.

Obviously, the toxins in the original body had already been released, but due to the dilution of blood, soil and sand, as well as the crazy destruction of Shiba Ganju, the deterioration products derived from the corpse were almost unnoticeable.

However, some of the degraded derivatives remaining in the liquid, something similar to corpse poison, still possess such power and corrosiveness.

Shiba Ganju was lucky enough to be a fool. He used the magic passed down by the Shiba family to destroy the structure of the spirit particle, and the corpse poison remaining in the earth was basically all transformed into pure white and clean fine sand, and there was no risk of poisoning others.

"A powerful cell-dissolving poison... I see. I understand what's going on."

Nimaiya Wang Yue rapped lamely, "Oh, this is really puzzling. Yo~ The only Zanpakutō that can have this kind of effect is probably the God Killing Spear."

"Ichimaru Gin's Bankai? Wasn't that guy already killed by Aizen?"

Hikifune Kiryu frowned.

"The guy who attacked us did use the God-killing Spear, but the user was not Gin Ichimaru, nor was he even a god of death."

Shiba Kūkaku blew out a puff of smoke and slowly stood up. She seemed to have sorted out her mood and temporarily regained her spirit.

"It's a Quincy named Bai Yuetong, right?"

In fact, Hyoshubu Ichibei already knew who the murderer was when he first arrived here.

"You know him?"

Shiba Kūkaku was a little surprised.

"Who is that?"

Hikifune Kiryu was unfamiliar with this name.

"Quincy? Were you sent by Yhwach to provoke us? You think you can embarrass us in this way. You are such a disgusting fellow."

Shutara Senjumaru said unhappily.

She thought that Bai Yuetong was doing these dirty and brutal things just to disgust and humiliate Squad Zero at the orders of Yhwach, and she didn't know that these were actually Bai Yuetong's own actions.

"That bad boy seems to be quite extraordinary since he was noticed by you, a monk. Yo~"

Wang Yue of Nimaiya noticed that the monk seemed to be very concerned about the Quincy himself.

Moreover, the opponent can use the Bankai of the dead god of death, which makes Wang Yue, the forger of Zanpakuto, who is known as the God of Sword, very concerned.

"Hei doesn't belong to this world. Where on earth did he come from? This has always troubled me."

Ichibei of Hyoshubu folded his arms and stared into the void, as if he was looking for something, but it seemed as if he could see nothing and found nothing.

"'Black' that doesn't belong to this world? It's unbelievable."

Shutara Senjumaru raised her eyebrows. She had never heard the monk say such a thing before.

It seems that the monk had kept something back and had not told them about this matter.

All the "black" in this world belongs to monks. If there is a person who carries the "black" that does not belong to monks, then he does not belong to this world.

In other words, someone from another world is visiting.

This is a huge event!

No one knows whether the other party will be an invading vanguard, or whether there are evil people with ulterior motives in the other world. Moreover, the intersection of two different worlds is itself an extremely dangerous thing.

But at the same time, this is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
