Why are all of us who transmigrated at the same time demons?

"Who gave your father that tapir-shaped sword? Don't you have any doubts at all?"

Tenbei Xiuzhu's gaze was gloomy; he still didn't believe Luo Lan's words. He had heard his father's dying words with his own ears; there was no mistake.

Loran didn't continue. People blinded by the obsession of revenge can't listen to advice. It's the same with Obito. Only when his obsession is shattered will he truly realize his problem.

"Since you're unwilling to say more, then we'll have to fight!"

As soon as Loran finished speaking, she used her Instant Step to reach Amagai Shusuke, and her longsword "Wei Ling" transformed into a black long-handled warhammer, which she slammed down on Amagai Shusuke.

With the techniques of emptiness, sealing, penetration, piercing, entangling, shocking, breaking, stopping, and collapsing, Loran wielded the warhammer.

In the Douluo Continent world, Luo Lan secretly sneaked over during Tang Hao's duel with Qian Xunji and stole the complete Haotian Nine Absolutes, even learning most of the Great Sumeru Hammer technique. As for the so-called Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, it was too useless, and Luo Lan didn't care for it.

The so-called "chaotic cloak hammer technique" is clearly a blacksmithing technique, designed to deal with immobile iron parts. What clever person would use it to fight an enemy in motion?

However, even with such a set of hammering techniques that were not designed for any specific person, there were still idiots who got hammered down. They were simply the worst of the worst, wouldn't you say, Feng Xiaotian?

However, while Douluo Loran didn't seem interested, Death God Loran was somewhat interested, since forging and blacksmithing were also one of his major hobbies.

Overall, the Haotian Nine Absolutes is a decent hammer technique, combining offense and defense, and capable of unleashing nine unique types of force.

However, its creator, Tang Chen, created this hammer technique from the perspective of a Soul Master, lacking some martial arts perspective. Therefore, this Haotian Nine Absolutes, after being supplemented by martial arts grandmaster Luo Lan, is a level above the original.

Loran wielded the black warhammer with such force and power that it formed a dense, impenetrable mass of black light.

Even with the Thunderfire Inferno Shell protecting him, Amagai Shusuke couldn't withstand Loran's heavy hammer. After a few blows, the terrifying force penetrated the Thunderfire Inferno Shell, leaving Amagai Shusuke feeling numb and sore all over.

At this point, the flaws in the Shinigami's combat system become apparent. Their physical defense is far inferior to their direct destructive power. Hollows have steel skin and high-speed regeneration, Quincy have Bloodstained Armor for defense, but what defense do Shinigami have? Even Kenpachi only relies on the spiritual pressure that emanates from his body for defense.

Furthermore, Shinigami rely on lightweight and convenient weapons like Zanpakuto for melee combat and lack the ability to specifically counter heavy, armor-piercing blunt weapons like warhammers.

The five-headed form of the former god and the Tengumaru of Aikawa Rabu are already extremely rare among Zanpakuto. Most Zanpakuto Shikai are still focused on pursuing sharpness.

Moreover, in terms of strength, Loran's power far surpasses that of the former god and Aikawa Luowu, and his Plum Blossom Black Gold Warhammer even has the ability to adjust its weight autonomously. With this one blow, Tenbei Xiuzhu suffered unspeakable pain.

Amidst the rising flames, Loran nonchalantly carried his plum blossom black gold hammer, while Tenbei Xiuzhu was panting heavily, covered in bruises, and his hands trembled uncontrollably, almost unable to grip the hilt of Lei Huo's sword.

Loran looked into Tenbei Shusuke's eyes, and saw a look of resentment in them.

"I haven't avenged my father yet, I haven't sought justice for him, how can I die here?"

Tenbei Shusuke's eyes conveyed this meaning.

Loran spoke up at this moment: "My previous conditions still stand. I don't need you to betray any Soul Society secrets. I just need you to act as an intermediary. As the captain of the expedition team, you should have the authority to request supplies from Soul Society, right?"

"All I need is for you to add the specific items I need to the supply procurement list every time you request supplies from Soul Society?"

"How about it? All you have to do is act as an intermediary and use your power a little bit? If the expedition team is in trouble in the future, you can still ask me for help."

"I even knocked out your men so that no one will know about our deal today."

"You wouldn't be thinking of saving money for those Soul Society insects, would you, Kisaragi Shusuke?"

Forced by circumstances, Tenbei Shusuke finally nodded in agreement.

Loran tossed him a talisman engraved with the mark of the Flying Thunder God, instructing Tenbei Xiuzhu to carry it with him at all times so that he could contact him at any time.

And so, Loran handed him a list, which Tenbei Xiuzhu glanced at.

The list contained a few books and scientific equipment, which puzzled him. The books were relatively easy to obtain, and some of the scientific equipment was easier to acquire, such as some observation instruments, since the Hueco Mundo Expedition was also responsible for observing Hueco Mundo.

But what about the rest? For example, equipment for biological cultivation? These are strictly controlled by the Soul Society.

As Tenbei Xiuzhu tried to bargain with a headache, she saw Loran intentionally or unintentionally touching the plum blossom black gold hammer.

Having just been swung around by that giant hammer, leaving him trembling and bruised all over, Tenbei Shusuke decisively shut his mouth. He had no choice but to see if he could pull some strings with the Kasumi Oji family.

Regardless of the truth, the Kasumi family is the target of his revenge. He doesn't care if he harms them.

Seeing that Tianbei Xiu was sensible, Luo Lan was very satisfied. Of course, after giving her a beating, she also had to give her a reward.

He patted Amagai Shusuke on the shoulder and said, "Xiaoru? Your brother Luo isn't some miser who makes people work for nothing. I have some business here too, after all, those dishonest nobles also have a demand for Hollows, right?"

"Why don't we team up and run a smuggling business in the virtual circle, ripping off those nobles? I'll provide the raw materials, and you can be the middleman. Let's start by swindling the Xia Dalu family, what do you say?"

He, Tenbei, was able to rise to the position of captain of the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force and even the future captain of the Third Division, so he was certainly not a naive person who didn't understand human relationships.

He knew that every year, nobles and even the Twelfth Division had a considerable demand for Hollows. Some forbidden experiments required Hollows as materials, such as the Kasumi family, who were researching Baku sword techniques. He had even heard that nobles in the past would specifically capture Hollows from Hueco Mundo to use as execution tools.

Especially rare Hollows, which are in high demand. But Tenbei Shusuke has never been interested in money; he is a pure man with a heart full of revenge for his father.

However, he turns a blind eye to his subordinates' smuggling activities with the Soul Society; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to hold onto his position as captain of the Hueco Mundo Expedition.

But things are different now. I'm going to make money off the Kasumi clan. Why not make money off my enemy? And as long as I provide the Kasumi clan with enough excellent phalluses as experimental materials, the Baku Blade technique can be developed faster, and I can gain the power of revenge more quickly.

And does getting into the Gotei 13 mean you don't need connections?

Without money, how can he pull strings?

How can he advance without using connections?

Without progress, how could he have gone from a border army leader (the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force) to the Imperial Guard (the Gotei 13)?

How could he get close to Yamamoto Genryusai without joining the Gotei 13?

How could he take revenge without getting close to Yamamoto Genryusai?

After Loran's guidance, Tenbei Shusuke suddenly understood.

Yeah, how come I didn't think of that?

Alas! If it weren't for Brother Luo's guidance, I would have almost fallen into the Kasumi family's treacherous scheme, and I don't know how much longer I would have had to suffer in Hueco Mundo.

Progress is essential.

From today onwards, every link (the currency of Soul Society) flowing out of Hueco Mundo will have a share of my profits.

Chapter 59 Death God: Hueco Mundo Capitalist

And so, Tenbei Shusuke and Loran started smuggling in Hueco Mundo.

Loran captures those dangerous Hollows, and then Tenbei Shusuke contacts the Soul Society to negotiate with buyers. Loran allows Tenbei Shusuke to take a certain commission from the process.

At the same time, Tenbei Shusuke also used his smuggling connections to obtain the books and equipment that Loran needed from Soul Society, such as the rare scientific journal in Soul Society—the Twelfth Division's internal publication, "Spiritual Particle Studies".

Loran uses this knowledge and instruments to continuously build his base, conduct research, and expand his knowledge base.

Later, Loran had a sudden inspiration and gave the spirit bone material he invented to Tenbei Shusuke, asking him to inquire whether there was any demand for it in the Soul Society.

Unexpectedly, the wealthy patrons of Soul Society were very interested in this novel material, spirit bones. In particular, spirit bones forged with fragments of spirit tree branches were the most sought-after, as this material was incredibly strong and could also isolate the transmission of spiritual pressure.

After all, nobles are known for having many little secrets. Don't they need to build a secret room with suitable materials to keep these secrets safe?

Killing Stones are strictly controlled and hard to find. This kind of ethereal bone has a similar effect to the Killing Stone, but it has not been banned from being smuggled by the Central Bureau of 46. So you don't have to worry about being caught.

The Twelfth Division has a huge demand for Hollow Soul Bones, after all, they are a research department, and they have always had a great need for spiritual pressure insulation materials.

With the generous contributions of the nobles and the Twelfth Division, Loran and Tenbei Shusuke made a fortune. To further their smuggling efforts, Loran built a spirit bone factory, capturing some intelligent special Hollows and having them screw in screws every day.

As long as they work hard, Loran will give them high-quality Void Meat, which is something that ordinary Void Meat can't get even if they fight to the death.

Faced with the virtual thirst for evolution, what is a mere 997 assembly line? Let's do it!

Meanwhile, in order to expand the volume of smuggled goods, Tianbei Xiuzhu pulled in some of her colleagues from the expedition team, thinking, "Let's all make money together!"

The Hueco Mundo Expedition, which also profited from this smuggling, kept their mouths shut. Anyone who dared to ruin everyone's business would be sent adrift into the depths of Hueco Mundo without Captain Tenbei even having to say a word.

"Boss, it's time to pay wages today."

Base assistant Nelielu gave a hint to Loran, who was engrossed in his research.

Loran tossed her a key; it was the storehouse for wages—spiritual food.

The so-called spiritual food is a type of spiritual food that Loran developed based on his research into Nelieel's unique diet, suitable for the undead to consume.

On her way away from Tenbei Shusuke, Loran accidentally encountered the former No. 3 Antelope Girl, Nelielu du Odeschvank, in her child form. At this time, she had already been ambushed by Nnoitra, her mask was damaged, and she was expelled from the Spirit King Palace.

Loran was curious about this unique female Void, so he dragged her and her two oddball subordinates back to the base.

Like the later No.3 Shark Girl Harribel, she is a rare female Vasto Lorde Hollow, and her personality is different from those of the male Hollows filled with killing and fighting desires.

Both of them were born with a dislike for killing and refused to devour souls, thus representing sacrifice among the Espada.

Nellyel's diet is very unusual. You know, Adjuchas will degenerate if they don't eat other Hollows, let alone evolve into Vasto Lordes. Loran discovered that she can survive on food made from Hueco Mundo plants, which is simply incredible.

Therefore, Loran conducted some research on her and discovered that Nelieel's constitution was extremely special. She could transform the spiritual particles she swallowed from the Hollow Tree into a material rich in spiritual pressure. In the words of Soul Society, she could synthesize artificial souls using only her own stomach.

In Soul Society, Kiryu Hikifune is the founder of artificial soul technology. She developed the "Temporary Soul" technology, which involves creating a temporary soul by consuming one's own spiritual pressure and placing it into a living organism. The core principle became the basis for subsequent artificial soul research.

The "soul" beside Ichigo Kurosaki is a product of this technology—Gi-Tonmaru.

Kiryu Hikifune was promoted to Squad Zero for this innovation, but her original intention in creating the [Temporary Soul] technique was simply to make dishes with concentrated spiritual pressure for use in food therapy.

Cornelielu's special constitution allows her to synthesize the Spirit Tree into spiritual pressure food similar to the spiritual pressure dishes of Hikifune Kirio. It is truly a marvel of nature.

Loran studied her unique physique and developed special spiritual food that could be consumed by Hollows to replenish their spiritual pressure. The materials consumed were only some branches of Hollow Trees. Hollow Trees in Hueco Mundo were virtually inexhaustible, but chopping them down was quite strenuous.

Loran then changed the wage structure, using spirit food as the basic wage and large pieces of ethereal flesh as bonuses, which were given to the ethereal beings working in his spirit bone factory.

He also repaired Nelliel's injuries during his research. This antelope girl had a very gentle personality. When she heard that Loran had invented a kind of spiritual food that allowed the Void to survive without having to devour other souls, she volunteered to be Loran's secretary and help Loran manage the base and factory so that Loran could focus more on his research.

Nellyel did a very good job; after all, she was later able to assist Queen Harribel in managing Hueco Mundo, demonstrating both her strength and intelligence.

Right, Loran suddenly remembered that the former No. 3 was here, so what about the current No. 3, Shark Girl Tia Harribel? Has she already been recruited by Aizen? You know, the No. 3s of the two generations of Espada are both top-notch, and Harribel is a rare brown-skinned, blonde, emotionless girl.

Under Nellyel's management, many Hollows with lurking dangers and violent tempers were kicked out, leaving mostly Hollows who were less willing to participate in the fight and had relatively mild personalities.

The majority of Hollows in Hueco Mundo are ordinary Hollows whose lives are precarious; only a minority emerge from the fierce battles. With so many Hollows, just like a large forest has all sorts of birds, there will always be some eccentric individuals with gentle personalities.

From these perspectives, it's a win-win situation to obtain ample food without fighting, and to receive the protection of a Vasto Lorde-class Arrancar in the factory, without having to live a precarious life.

It's better to work than to become his prey!

Nellyel, on the other hand, thoroughly enjoyed this. This had always been her philosophy: she hated depravity, valued rationality, and opposed pointless struggles.

And so, starting with a single spirit bone factory, Loran’s spirit bone production scale continued to expand, building a large number of production lines for different types of spirit bones, and even establishing a spirit food factory.

Today, Loran is a major capitalist in the Hueco Mundo world, owning four spirit bone factories, one spirit food factory, and employing a thousand Hueco Mundo workers.

Loran also tried to launch the spirit particle engine and spirit particle computer technology he developed. Unfortunately, the requirements for these two technologies were too high. The working Voids did not have enough intelligence to understand the technology or enough spiritual pressure to produce it. At most, they could only produce some simple parts.

Only Nelliel could help Loran with the manufacture of the key components, and her two subordinates were also quite capable.

Therefore, the production speed of spirit engines and spirit computers is very slow, and key components can only be made by hand.

To achieve automation, there must be enough quantum computers to provide computing power, as well as matching sophisticated algorithms and machine tools.

The number of quantum computers can be gradually increased, and algorithms can be developed; these are not difficult.

The real problem is the lack of sufficiently precise machine tools. Loran has built quite a few machine tools, and even among the group of Void beings, there are many skilled machine tool operators. However, they still do not reach a sufficient level of precision. The spirit engines and spirit computers produced are of extremely poor performance and break down after a short period of use.

Until Nellyel gave Loran an idea: "Since we don't have enough manpower, why not hire more? There are a lot of high-end talents in Las Noches, aren't there? I know that place well, so why not try to poach some of their talent?"

Lorraine slapped his thigh suddenly, "That's right!"

Wasn't his initial goal to lead Wanxiang to challenge the world?

Ever since he found Nelielu, he has been obsessed with studying her unique diet in order to develop spiritual food techniques.

After some time, Tenbei Shusuke delivered a batch of instruments and books, and he became engrossed in infrastructure construction, farming, and learning new knowledge. He figured that since Hueco Mundo was always in that place and couldn't be moved, there was no rush.

Later, the spiritual food technology was developed, and Nelielu returned to normal. Loran then became engrossed in scientific research and study.

Ah, having land to cultivate, a small business to run, and numerous hobbies to pursue—this kind of life is truly captivating.

No way! From this day forward, I, Loran, will rise up! In this world of death, we shall fight! Fight! Fight!

Loran picked up the Myriad Things that he had left idle for a while, his sights set on the Hueco Mundo.

The factory and base were handed over to two subordinate officers, Pei Xue and Dongdechaka, both of whom were Adjuchas and were more than capable of managing ordinary Hollows when they were in good condition.

Chapter 60 Death: Open the Door! Free Trade

Loran and Nelieel each drove a "Shadowless" spirit motorcycle at high speed. Along the way, Loran encountered quite a few Adjuchas, but after spending a long time with Nelieel, who disliked killing, Loran's personality also became much more Zen.

Therefore, they were simply given the Flying Thunder God mark, and it was not used as employee bonuses.

Nellyel was an Espada residing in Las Noches, and Loran also had the coordinates of Las Noches from Szayelaporro's head. Therefore, as long as he found the right direction, Loran quickly arrived at Las Noches.

"I am Lunuganka, the guardian of Hueco Mundo. Hueco Mundo is ahead. Those who come here, stop!"

A colossal white void made of sand stood atop the dunes, unleashing a deafening roar at Loran.

Ignoring him, Loran continued his charge towards the Palace of the Dead.
