Chapter 165 The Will of the Spirit King, the Passing of Time!

When the invisible empire becomes visible, they can no longer hide.

For the Quincy hiding there, it is nothing more than a battle with the god of death.

Although the development of the matter was beyond their expectations and their king did not wake up, it does not mean that the members of the Stern Cross Knights are afraid of fighting. They do not take the initiative to cause trouble, but they are not afraid of it either.

But some things are still underestimated by them.

That is, the world of death has developed extremely rapidly over the years.

Rapid development has shaken and gradually changed many deep-rooted ideas.

Hand-to-hand combat with real swords and guns, that's the old way of fighting of the god of death.

Now that we have discovered the existence of the Leviticus Space and the traces of the Quincy, why should we step into the Leviticus Space to fight the Quincy?

As long as this space is destroyed, wouldn't all the Quincy hiding in it be dead?

The lepton space collapsed and was destroyed.

Even though Soul Society had temporarily formed its own world due to the space-based ghost arts and had separated itself from the spirit particle space, and the light of the king's seal enveloped everything, it was able to block the raging space storm.

But looking from above, the world in the shadow shrank and shattered, leaving behind many mottled traces.

These traces were so touching and shocking in the eyes of many death gods.

This is probably a scene that many death gods will never forget in their lifetime.

But for Xia Mu, there was no joy in his heart.

Because when the lepton space was annihilated, even though he was in two different spaces, he still felt a supreme and magnificent aura. If Feiyuan had not evolved to an extremely terrifying level, he really would not be able to sense this aura, this power.

"The will of the Spirit King?"

In the original anime, the will of the Soul King is implemented in many places, but it is more like an empty slogan. Many people act in the name of the Soul King, but if you observe carefully, you will find that this thing does exist.

Although the Spirit King is a human stick, forced to stay in the Spirit King Palace as a wedge of the world, in a state of no rest, a chosen worker, seemingly unable to move and struggle, but this world itself was created with the help of the Spirit King's power.

As the creator of the world, he can certainly secretly influence the operation of the world.

Xia Mu didn't expect that when destroying the lepton space, he would actually sense the existence of this power.

He turned his head and looked at Captain Yamamoto again.

Although he is Yhwach's arch-enemy, Captain-General Yamamoto seems to be unaware of anything.

"Is it because I am pregnant with the Soul King fragment?"

Xia Mu immediately thought of the reason.

At this moment, the world of Seireitei and the world of the Reisubi Space have become two completely isolated worlds, just like the god of death looking at the hollows in the anti-membrane light. He can see them but cannot touch them, and naturally cannot sense each other's breath.

After all, there is a barrier between the worlds.

Although they can now see the collapse and annihilation of the lepton space, they cannot sense the breath of the Quincy in it.

Only the power of the Spirit King, a power that transcends time and space, is different.

Although I really want to say that there is no difference in power, because this world was created by the Spirit King, the power of the Spirit King is superior to everything.

"It seems that this war cannot be ended so easily."

Xia Mu looked solemn.

Actually, in the Thousand Year Blood War arc of the anime, Yhwach and the Quincy of the Sterncross Knights brought extremely heavy casualties to the Death God's side. Although their number was not large, the strength of each of them was extremely terrifying. If it weren't for the plot, they would not have been defeated so easily.

Xia Mu was just thinking about whether he could wipe out the Stern Cross Knights before Yhwach woke up. Now it seems that it is not that easy.

As long as Youhabach is not dead, with the ability of the soul looking back and giving again, the Stern Cross Knights cannot be considered completely wiped out.

In the anime, he demonstrated the ability to revive his dead bodyguards.

"Well, I'll just wait for that day to come!"

When Xia Mu thought of this, a look of determination appeared in his eyes.

The war did not end so easily though.

But the destruction of the spirit space is also a good thing for Soul Society.

At least he wouldn't have to worry about the Quincy hiding in the dark and spying on the Grim Reaper, and he wouldn't have to worry about his side having no secrets at all.

That way, even if a war really breaks out in the future, the Death side will not be so passive.

……

To the ordinary Shinigami of the Gotei 13, it seemed like just a special exercise. They just followed the dispatch and command of the chief officer, injected their own spiritual power into the special rope, and did not do much else.

Of course, if you really want to say it, the captains didn't do much.

Some captains helped the Great Ghost Master to manipulate the powerful spiritual power to perform the "space" ghost way, Yoruichi manipulated the king seal, Natsuki, Captain Yamamoto and Urahara Kisuke used the ghost way cannon to destroy the spiritual space.

But in terms of results, their achievements are gratifying.

The spirit dimension hidden in the shadow of Seireitei was destroyed, and the Quincy hiding in it was estimated to have been annihilated as well.

So, when Soul Society returned to its original position, after Urahara Kisuke's investigation, it was confirmed that the spirit space had disappeared.

The entire Gotei 13 began to celebrate this victory.

Many ordinary reapers had no idea what was going on, but they still celebrated.

Only Xia Mu felt heavy-hearted when he thought of his perception at the last moment.

“Although the one who protects the Soul King is the God of Death, and the one who dominates this world is also the God of Death, this does not mean that the Soul King likes the God of Death… What he cares about is just this world…”

After experiencing this, Xia Mu gained a deeper understanding of the existence of the Spirit King.

The Soul King has a great hatred towards the God of Death.

When Yhwach devoured the Soul King, his hatred turned into a torrent of power that poured out from the Soul King's Palace, intending to engulf the world where the God of Death lived. Similarly, if there was a possibility of overthrowing the God of Death's dominance over the world, the Soul King would spare no effort and secretly use his own will to interfere with the world.

If you think about it carefully, in that battle, Hyoshubu Ichibei clearly used the Soul King's left arm to seal Yhwach's omniscience and omnipotence, and Captain-General Yamamoto also used all his strength to defeat Yhwach. Apart from not destroying his body, Yhwach even lost his heartbeat, so he was completely dead.

However, a thousand years later, Yhwach was resurrected again.

The Soul King's left arm, which was originally used to seal his power, has become Yhwach's subordinate.

What is this, Hyoshubu Ichibei? This is aiding the enemy!

I'm afraid even Hyōshūbe Ichibei didn't know that this would be the case.

Why was Yhwach able to be resurrected again?

Apart from the fact that his existence itself is very special, the Spirit King is definitely the leader in secret.

In the Palace of the Spirit King.

Just as Soul Society was celebrating their victory.

Outside the Ling King's palace, a soldier from the Bingzhu Department looked solemnly at the hall in front of him, but did not choose to step into it to meet the Ling King.

Although he is not as omniscient and almighty as the Spirit King, Hyoshubu Ichibei can still know a lot of things thanks to his ability to know everything he says.

Such a big commotion happened in Soul Society.

It also involved the space ghost way which was listed as a taboo, so of course he instinctively paid attention to it.

It was also during this period that he sensed the fluctuations of the Spirit King's power.

"Spirit King, what exactly do you want to do?"

Hyoshubu Ichibei felt confused.

He knew that the other people might also have sensed the fluctuation of this power.

After all, the bodies of the Zero Squad members were shaped by the power of the Soul King, which was called the "King's Key". They who possessed the King's Key had a very close relationship with the Soul King. When the Soul King, who had usually been sealed in the main hall of the Soul King Palace, released the magnificent power that could affect the three realms, they would naturally feel it.

……

The storm did not last long.

Although Xia Mu's heart was always tense because of the perception at the last moment, it did not affect the rapid development of the times.

The new Central Room 46 has still not been born.

Even though many nobles became increasingly dissatisfied.

But in the end, they couldn't make any waves.

In the past, the Central Forty-Six Chambers system existed, except in the beginning when the nobles were extremely powerful. At that time, the civilian Shinigami were far inferior to those of the nobles. But with the establishment of the Maou Academy of Spiritual Arts, countless civilian Shinigami entered the Gotei 13 through systematic training, and the strength of the nobles gradually weakened.

In fact, there is no need for the deformed system of Central Room 46 to continue to exist.

It existed in the past because Captain-General Yamamoto followed the rules he created and did not want to disrupt the stability of Soul Society.

But one day, he discovered that the self-proclaimed impartial Central Forty-Six Chambers were essentially tools for some nobles to fulfill their own selfish desires. Even without the Central Forty-Six Chambers, Soul Society could still develop smoothly.

He didn't mind preventing the establishment of a new Central Office 46 and holding great power.

Of course, because he is old.

Therefore, this special situation cannot last too long. Before that, he must explore a new system that is more effective and fairer than the Central Forty-Six Room system.

In this process, many nobles will certainly be offended.

But he shouldered all the criticism.

Besides, what are those nobles?
Didn't you see that the three great nobles, Shihouin, Kuchiki, and Shiba, didn't express any objections?
Therefore, there is no rush to set up a new Central Office 46.

In the Shinyang Spiritual Arts Academy.

Another genius is born.

Back then, Kuchiki Hibiki was already an extremely rare genius. It took him two years to graduate from the Shinō Spiritual Academy. Even though those in the know knew that he had been secretly trained by the Kuchiki family, this did not affect his reputation as a genius in the minds of many people.

And the geniuses who have emerged recently are even more extraordinary.

This boy named Ichimaru Gin looked only about twelve or thirteen years old, but he only took one year to complete the six-year curriculum of the Maou Spiritual Academy, and then graduated from the academy with excellent results.

Naturally, such a genius was also favored by the entire Gotei 13.

It can be said that all the squads have extended invitations to Gin Ichimaru.

This even includes the 4th Division and the 12th Division which only recruits technical personnel.

As for the Fourth Division, they are simply here to join in the fun.

Under normal circumstances, there are not many Grim Reapers who would choose the medical team.

Apart from the female Shinigami who don't like fighting, most of the Shinigami who join the Fourth Division either do so because they have medical Zanpakutō or because they have no other choice.

As for the 12th Division, according to the Shinigami of the 12th Division who came to recruit students, their captain said that this kind of genius is not very old, and with more training, he may be able to become a top technician.

If he were an ordinary student, he would definitely be ecstatic when so many teams extended invitations to him.

But Gin Ichimaru was not overly excited.

He just said to the Shinigami who came to invite him, "I need to think about it carefully."

He said he was considering it, but in fact, after meeting these death gods, he went to the academy and met with Matsumoto Rangiku.

After that incident, Gin Ichimaru realized his own weakness, and after discussing with Rangiku, the two of them applied for the Shinō Spiritual Academy together. Although they were both young, both of them had real talent.

In the original work, after Matsumoto Rangiku lost the fragment of the Soul King's fingertip, her soul was incomplete and she became the vice-captain.

After Gin Ichimaru cut off a part of his soul to save Rangiku Matsumoto's life, his powerful talent was still not affected.

Now, neither of them has been weakened, and their talents can be imagined.

Just based on their admission scores, Gin Ichimaru and Rangiku Matsumoto attracted the attention of many teachers in the academy.

Matsumoto Rangiku was fine. After entering school, although she learned things quickly, she did not think about skipping grades. Ichimaru Gin, on the other hand, was running at a rapid pace all the way, and finally, he broke the record previously broken by Kuchiki Hibiki.

Now, Matsumoto Rangiku has just gotten rid of her status as a first-time student and is about to enter her second year.

And Gin Ichimaru has already become a graduate.

Of course Matsumoto Rangiku knew about Ichimaru Gin's affairs. Although the two were not in the same class because Ichimaru Gin skipped a grade, they often met privately and their friendship remained unchanged.

"Gin, have you decided which division you should go to?"

Matsumoto Rangiku asked Gin Ichimaru.

"There's no need to even think about this question." In front of outsiders, Ichimaru Gin is a cold and taciturn genius, but in front of Matsumoto Rangiku, he is the squinting-eyed, optimistic and gentle boy.

Matsumoto Rangiku was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.

When she and Gin chose to apply to the Maou Academy of Spiritual Arts, they had already decided which team they would join after becoming a Shinigami.

……

"First it was Tosen Kaname, then Ichimaru Gin, so I am Aizen?"

Natsuki looked at Ichimaru Gin's application to join the team.

I couldn't help but sigh.

It was true that he had saved Ichimaru Gin and Matsumoto Rangiku in Rukongai, but Natsuki had never expected that they would definitely join his 11th Division.

And now, it is proven that making friends is a good thing.

This will make those geniuses instinctively get close to him, and after graduation, they will choose his 11th Division first.

Tosen Kaname and Ichimaru Gin are Aizen's left and right guardians in the original work.

Now that he had joined his 11th Squadron in such a wonderful way, Xia Mu couldn't help but feel emotional.

Because Aizen's true identity was revealed before, Aizen was forced to flee and leave Soul Society. Now, it should be impossible for these two to have any intersection with Aizen, but Natsuki did not expect that after many twists and turns, these two would still get together.

No, there are more than just these two.

In addition, Lisa Yadomaru and Sajin Komamura also joined the 11th Division.

On the surface, the 11th Division is the same as usual, except that there are many new members, but in Xia Mu's opinion, it is full of talented people.

Ichimaru Gin, the captain of the third squad in the original work, Komamura Sajin, who once served as the captain of the seventh squad, Yadomaru Lisa, the future captain of the eighth squad, and Tosen Kaname, who served as the captain of the ninth squad... These people are all worthy of being captains.

"So, how about gathering some more guys who have the potential to be captains and build the strongest squad?"

"Through Yoruichi, I'll get Soi-Fong to the 11th Division, and then I'll find a way to recruit Kotetsu Yuune into my own division. I won't let go of other Shinigami like Sekiya Tetsuzaemon and Hitsugaya Toushirou, and I'll get them all to the 11th Division."

Xia Mu thought about it and then gave up.

He has no intention of establishing independence or establishing the Gotei 13. There is actually no point in doing these things.

But if possible, it is still necessary to train more captain-level strong people.

With his thoughts flashing, Xia Mu signed his name on Ichimaru Gin's application to join the team, indicating that he agreed to his joining the team.

……

In Rukongai.

Xia Mu did not wander around this area seriously very often.

But it did bring about a lot of changes.

He saved Gin Ichimaru and Rangiku Matsumoto, and encouraged them to enter the Maou Spiritual Academy.

In another area, Madarame Ikkaku and Ayase Gawa Yumichika, although they witnessed how powerful Natsuki was, they did not choose to directly apply to the Maou Spiritual Academy and chose to become Shinigami.

They still stay here, using special methods to fight against the masters in Rukongai in order to hone themselves.

Madarame's plan is to become stronger before applying to the Maou Academy of Spiritual Arts. After all, that is the world of the gods of death, and it would not be good if he was not strong enough and got bullied there.

It can only be said that the tough atmosphere in the back area of ​​Rukongai has influenced many people.

It is also in this process.

He and Ayasegawa Yumichika encountered a strong man who wandered here and also loved fighting.

The other person's name is Zaraki, and with him is a little girl named Yachiru, also known as Kusako.

Zaraki and Kusaka are both names of the Rukongai area, corresponding to the North 80th District and the 79th District. It has to be said that it is very strange that the other party uses this as his own name and surname.

However, Madarame Ikkaku didn't care about this.

Rather than the weird name, he was more moved by the other party's strength.

He and Yumichika were easily defeated by their opponents.

"What an incredibly powerful force!"

After the defeat, Madarame was a little depressed, but then he faced the reality. After coming into contact with Zaraki, he discovered that this was a very pure person. Although he looked very fierce, he was not a bad person. He was just a person who liked and longed for fighting.

"If you like fighting, I'm afraid Rukongai won't be able to satisfy you."

Madarame Ikkaku suggested to the other party.

The further forward the area is, the lower the probability of a strong person being born is because of the better living environment.

There is only one difference.

"Let's go to Seireitei!"

"Seireitei is the world where the gods of death live. There are many powerful people there. I think you should be able to be satisfied."

Madarame Ikkaku said to Zaraki.

Then he talked about how he was defeated by the god of death.

When Zaraki heard what Madarame Ikkaku said, a fanatical light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

……

Hueco Mundo is always dead silent and cold, no matter what time it is.

The world where it is night all day long is so dark.

A bright moon hangs in the sky, casting its pale light on the earth, adding a bit of desolation to such a world.

The inner circle of Hueco Mundo, Hueco Night Palace.

After Natsuki and other captains of the Gotei 13 came here, Bylergan, who claimed to be the King of Hueco Mundo, died, and this palace was vacant for a long time. Later, some ambitious Hollows came here and occupied the palace, preparing to emulate Bylergan and call themselves the King of Hueco Mundo, but they could not last long.

And now, the one occupying this palace is...Aizen.

There is also a Hollow next to Aizen.

Sal Apollo.

This most intelligent Hollow in the Hueco Mundo, after witnessing Natsuki's incredible strength, he decisively ran away at the first opportunity. Facts have proved that he was right, as both Bylergan and Tsunayashiro Tokinada were killed by Natsuki.

After that, he continued to conduct various research in Hueco Mundo with the help of some things he got from Tsunayashiro Tokinada.

Until a few years ago, another person came to the Hueco Mundo and conducted alternative research.

Sometimes fate is always so clever.

The encounter between Sar Apollo and Aizen seems to represent that Sar Apollo's whole life will be entangled with the god of death.

Aizen and Tsunayashiro Tokinada are different.

His abilities are weirder and more powerful.

When Sar Apollo, who had gained great power through years of research, was about to use Aizen as a test subject, Aizen gave him a heavy blow. However, because of the talent shown by Sar Apollo, Aizen was ultimately unable to kill him.

Instead, the two of them came together.

They moved into the palace of the former King of Hueco Mundo and jointly conducted experiments there.

About experiments that break boundaries.
