Chapter 184: The Beginning of the Turmoil in Seireitei

In the passage of the broken world, it was quiet and silent.

Because unlike in the original novel where Yoruichi leads the way, Ichigo and the others know nothing about Dangai or Soul Society.

They also don't know how to get back after embarking on this road.

But this does not change Ichigo's determination to go to Soul Society to save Rukia.

As a friend, he absolutely could not watch Rukia die in Soul Society like this.

He has to go this time.

What moved him even more was the following of his friends such as Inoue, Chad and Ishida.

Obviously, this matter had nothing to do with them, but after knowing it, they still resolutely chose to follow.

Following the teacher's instructions before they set out, Ichigo and the others continued to move forward.

Sometimes, Ichigo actually has pretty good luck.

At least this time, I didn't encounter things like Juliu and Jutu.

When the light comes into view.

Ichigo and the others suddenly found themselves in a world completely different from reality.

All around are low-rise bungalows.

But in today's world, it has already developed into high-rise buildings.

This style of bungalow can only be seen in places like Kyoto.

They observed carefully and found that there were some people who looked similar to humans walking on the streets. They were wearing ancient-style clothes, as if they were from the previous era.

"Is this Soul Society?"

"The world of souls!"

Ichigo thought to himself.

Ever since he obtained the power of the God of Death from Rukia, he began to help Rukia fight against the Hollows. Along the way, Rukia also told him a lot of common sense about the God of Death, such as "Soul Burial", which is a special ceremony to draw souls to the Soul Society.

But he had no idea what Soul Society looked like before.

Now, I have seen it.

Beside Ichigo, Inoue Orihime and Chataro Yasutora were also looking at this world with surprise.

As a Quincy, Ishida Uryuu sensed even more.

"Such a rich spirit."

"Fighting in a world like this, the strength I can exert seems to be even stronger."

The Quincy has the ability to manipulate and concentrate spirit particles.

This ability is actually very limited by the surrounding spirit particles.

Just like the fighting strength of Shinigami and Hollows will be enhanced in an environment rich in spirit particles, the ones who are most affected are the Quincies.

I took a close look at Rukongai.

Ichigo and the others did not forget the main purpose of coming to Soul Society this time.

Rescue Rukia.

As for what to do after the rescue, that is a matter for later.

I have to admit, sometimes, Ichigo is really reckless.

In the original work, they came to Soul Society because Yoruichi was the leader. With Yoruichi's identity, she could ensure that Ichigo would be safe.

But only Yoruichi and Urahara Kisuke knew these things.

Ichigo had not known Yoruichi's true identity before.

He still chose to head towards Soul Society, which in itself shows his reckless and will-do-whatever-he wants character.

"According to the teacher, the world where the gods of death live is called Seireitei. They are located in the central area of ​​​​Rukounda, and Rukia is imprisoned there. Next, we just need to head there."

Ichigo spoke in a deep voice, stating the subsequent goals.

"But where is Seireitei?" Inoue Orihime asked in confusion.

Ishida Uryuu glanced at the people in front of him.

"Just ask someone."

So they went and asked a civilian for directions.

I have to say, they are really lucky.

Not only did they not encounter things like Jutu and Juliu in the Dangkai, but after arriving in Rukongai, they also came to a very forward area, which allowed them to go to Soul Society without spending too much time on the journey.

In addition, the most crucial point is that people in the front areas of Rukongai are often kind to others because of their better living environment.

Unlike the back areas, which are full of unruly people.

If you think about it carefully, in the original work, Ichigo and others came to Soul Society and encountered such a bumpy journey, which might be related to Yoruichi.

After all, in the West, black cats are often associated with bad luck and misfortune.

Because the residents of Rukongai are friendly.

Soon, they learned the exact location of Soul Society.

Without hesitation, several people rushed over there quickly.

……

Inside the Soul Society.

Most people had no idea that a storm was about to come.

But this vast majority of people definitely does not include Xia Mu.

He saw something again.

To describe him, in fact, he was not prepared. It should be said that he was Feiyuan, and he predicted some of the future.

After devouring the Soul King fragments collected by the Tsunayashiro family and the Hogyoku created by Urahara Kisuke, the boundaries of Zanpakutō seemed to have been broken, and Hime was in a state of constant evolution.

It itself is a sword that fits perfectly with this world. It possesses the power of "creation" and uses spirit particles to control everything. This ability is actually very similar to the ability of the Spirit King to create the world, but it does not have such a large-scale influence.

Only some things can be modified within a very small range.

But Xia Mu was lucky. Many people rushed to bring him good fortune, allowing Feiyuan to break through his original limits.

The Zanpakuto comes from the soul of the god of death and is a creation born from the body of the god of death.

In essence, the two are one and the same.

Feiyuan broke the boundary, which is equivalent to Xia Mu also breaking the boundary.

Xia Mu now is no longer like he was at the beginning, needing to fight deliberately and devour powerful spirit particles.

Because of Feiyuan's influence, his dimension of existence has been forcibly raised.

If he wanted to, he could control all the spirit particles in the nearby space in an instant and forcibly snatch them into his body.

Natsuki had already used a similar ability when he faced off against the ancestor of Tsunayashiro.

At that time, he devoured the spirit particles within the range of half a spirit mile.

But that is definitely not Xia Mu's current limit.

Because at that time, Higan had not yet swallowed the Hogyoku created by Urahara Kisuke.

"Actually, is this the development?"

In the corner of the future that Feiyuan revealed to Xia Mu.

He "saw" a familiar presence.

Ichigo Kurosaki!
"So, you came to Soul Society to rescue Kuchiki Rukia?"

"I'm curious about how you regained your strength and came to Soul Society."

In the original work, Ichigo was able to regain the power of the God of Death and go to Soul Society to rescue Rukia. Urahara Kisuke was absolutely crucial, although the trip to Soul Society was led by Yoruichi, and Urahara Kisuke was stranded in the real world.

But Ichigo was able to regain his strength, and Urahara Kisuke played a great role in that.

Now, Urahara Kisuke did not defect.

There is no Urahara store in the present world.

How did Ichigo regain his strength?
"No, maybe there's someone else who can help Ichigo!"

Xia Mu's eyes were fixed.

Looking at the entire anime of Bleach, it can actually be described with a simple word, that is, "my dad". Kurosaki Isshin is Ichigo's blood father. Logically speaking, he should be Ichigo's closest father, but honestly speaking, Kurosaki Isshin did not provide much help to Ichigo during his growth process.

Apart from teaching Ichigo the final Getsuga Tensho and telling Ichigo the truth about his life experience during the Thousand Year Blood War, Kurosaki Isshin is more of a marginal supporting role.

It was the other two fathers who played a crucial role in Ichigo's growth.

Kisuke Urahara and Sosuke Aizen.

The former always provides Ichigo with various kinds of help when he encounters difficulties.

The latter, in order to avoid harming Ichigo in the battle of Karakura Town, went to great lengths to bring Inoue Orihime to Hueco Mundo, thus luring Ichigo into the Hueco Mundo. Fearing that Ichigo was not strong enough, he made Ichigo go through many battles in Hueco Mundo, thus rapidly improving his strength to an extreme.

Of course, this is just a joke.

But it is certain.

If it weren't for any of Aizen, Urahara Kisuke, or Kurosaki Isshin, Ichigo would never have come into this world, nor would he have possessed such an immensely powerful strength.

As for the final Yhwach?

This guy can only be considered half a father.

This so-called half refers to the "Uncle Zangetsu" in Ichigo's body, not the real Yhwach.

Thoughts flow.

Xia Mu went to the Technology Development Bureau again.

In Soul Society today, technology is developing at an extremely rapid pace, and the existence of the Reiwa Tower allows the Technology Development Bureau to monitor Rukongai and Seireitei almost perfectly.

If Ichigo Kurosaki and the others really came to Soul Society, their whereabouts could be easily found.

"found it!"

Urahara Kisuke operated the instrument in front of him.

There was a hint of surprise on his face.

"I actually came to Soul Society."

"Kurosaki Ichigo!"

Because he had participated in helping Shiba Isshin, Urahara Kisuke also knew about the existence of Kurosaki Ichigo.

Know how extraordinary this child is.

I even heard from Xia Mu that he was the "child of destiny".

This child possesses an incredibly powerful force.

Previously, Rukia Kuchiki gave the power of the god of death to a human named "Ichigo Kurosaki". After he knew this name, he was a little surprised, but he didn't take it too seriously afterwards, because according to Byakuya Kuchiki, he had destroyed the power of the god of death that the other party obtained from Rukia Kuchiki.

Now it seems that this is not the case.

Ichigo Kurosaki regained the power of the God of Death and came to the Soul Society.

Why did he come?

Was it because of Kuchiki Rukia?
"This child has unparalleled potential in his body. What Byakuya Kuchiki destroyed was only the power of the god of death that came from Rukia Kuchiki. Now, he seems to have awakened the power that was originally hidden in his body."

"We can use this opportunity to give him some training."

Natsuki said to Urahara Kisuke.

Urahara Kisuke still has many questions in his heart.

But when faced with Xia Mu's words, he did not refuse.

He has a deep understanding of this world. Hollows, Shinigami, and Quincy are mutually opposed, and the three powers seem to be incompatible, but Ichigo Kurosaki is different. In his body, the three powers are perfectly integrated.

His father is a Shinigami, his mother is a Quincy, and his mother had once been hollowed.

Such a miracle man.

Urahara Kisuke was very curious about how high he could reach.

Confirmed the current whereabouts of Ichigo Kurosaki.

Carrying Urahara Kisuke's special instrument, he returned to the Soul Society squad.

While Natsuki was looking through the instruments, he was secretly observing Ichigo Kurosaki's movements.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Ichimaru Gin in front of him.

Gin Ichimaru has grown up, but his personality has not changed. He is still as lazy as ever.

"silver!"

Hearing what Xia Mu said, Ichimaru Gin opened his eyes slightly, a little surprised.

"What's up, Captain?"

"There is indeed something I need you to do." Xia Mu instructed Ichimaru Gin, "I found out that there are several travelers who want to invade the Soul Society. Now they have come to the White Gate. You go to the White Gate and wait. If you find that they have defeated the White Gate guards and want to break in, you can just drive them out."

After a pause, Xia Mu continued, "We just need to drive them out. There is no need to kill them."

"Yes!"

Ichimaru Gin responded.

Deep down, he was actually very confused about what Xia Mu said.

Is there an invasion of travel disasters?

When did this happen, and why didn’t Soul Society react at all?

But he still obediently followed Xia Mu's orders and went to wait near Baidao Gate.

……

Ichigo and his companions, guided by the kind people of Rukongai, quickly headed towards Soul Society.

Soon, they arrived at Baidao Gate.

I met Sidanfang, the guard who was guarding the Baidao Gate.

Through communicating with Sidanfang, they learned that only by defeating Sidanfang would they be qualified to enter the Soul Society.

Ichigo has always wanted to step in to rescue Rukia, so of course he can't back down here.

He resolutely chose to fight against Sidanfang.

Sidanfang is very powerful, otherwise they would not be able to guard the gate here.

But whether one is strong or not actually depends on who one is compared with.

For ordinary civilians, the existence of Sidanfang is like an extremely solid wall that prevents them from entering the Soul Society. However, for beings with the power of death gods, Sidanfang has never been an obstacle.

Over the years, there have actually been quite a few strong men from Rukongai who have entered Soul Society by defeating the guards of the four gates.

Many members of the 11th Division came this way.

Ichigo and Shidanbo fought for a short while before he successfully defeated Shidanbo with his extremely powerful fighting talent. After being defeated, Shidanbo accepted the reality obediently and opened the White Gate behind him for Ichigo and others.

Ichigo was the first to step into the door, preparing to lead Inoue, Ishida and others into the Soul Society.

However, the first thing that greeted Ichigo was an extremely swift sword.

Ichigo hastily swung his sword to block it.

Then he saw a figure attacking him. The other person had lavender hair, wore a black Death Tyrant outfit, had squinted eyes, and looked like a fox with malicious intentions.

"Although you are wearing a Shinigami uniform, I have never seen you in the Gotei 13. You are probably not a Shinigami in the Gotei 13."

"Is it a travel disaster?"

A deep voice came out of the man's mouth and fell into Ichigo's ears.

"I'm sorry, but you can't enter the Seireitei if you're traveling!"

Gin Ichimaru said to Ichigo.

"who are you?"

Ichigo looked at Gin Ichimaru in front of him, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"My name is Ichimaru Gin, and I'm the third seat in the 11th Division!"

All I can say is that the 11th Division is really too competitive.

Even someone as strong as Ichimaru Gin could only hold three seats.

As for the original third seat, Asido, after Tosen Kaname, Komamura Sajin, Ichimaru Gin, Matsumoto Rangiku, and Zaraki entered the 11th Division, his seat was demoted again and again. Of course, Asido himself didn't care much about the seat.

He is an old man from the time of Kenpachi Kuriyashiki.

The philosophy that Kenpachi Kuriyashiki has always adhered to is that the successor must be stronger than the predecessor, and he has always been looking forward to the emergence of a more powerful Kenpachi.

For Asido, the younger generation is stronger than himself, which means that the 11th Division is also stronger, which is a good thing.

"Third seat of the 11th Division, Gin Ichimaru?" Ichigo muttered the name to himself.

But he didn't change his mind.

We have already stepped into the Soul Society, how can we give up entering just because of the obstruction of the person in front of us?

He launched an attack towards Gin Ichimaru.

But now he is too weak.

Even if he could defeat Sidanfang, he still had no strength to fight back when facing Ichimaru Gin.

He was easily defeated by Gin Ichimaru.

Then, Gin Ichimaru walked up to him and picked him up.

Prepare to follow Natsuki's instructions and throw out this troublemaker who broke into the Soul Society.

Just at this time.

A ball similar to a tennis ball suddenly appeared in Ichigo's hand.

"Ok?"

Ichimaru Gin glanced at the object with some surprise.

To be honest, his heart is still filled with many questions.

Our captain seems to know a lot of things.

Just when he was surprised.

Ichigo threw the sphere in his hand.

He didn't know what this thing was.

But he always remembered his teacher's instructions.

If I can't successfully enter the Soul Society, I have to find a way to throw this thing in there.

As Ichigo threw the sphere out.

The sphere flew in the air, and the countless tiny threads that condensed into the sphere quickly dispersed. In a short moment, the sphere disappeared and then merged into nothingness.

Ichimaru Gin didn't understand what the sphere was, but he followed Natsuki's instructions and threw Ichigo hard out of the White Path Gate, then he looked at Sidanfang and gave him a warning look.

Sidanfang felt Ichimaru Gin's gaze and was a little scared.

It's not like he opened the door for Ichigo and the others without permission.

But it was what Gin Ichimaru said before.

In other words, Ichigo and the others who were fighting with him were actually troublemakers?

It seems that I have made a big mistake.

A traveling blight is a being that comes to Soul Society without permission, and a Hollow is essentially a traveling blight as well.

As one of the guardians of the four gates, he knew a lot of rules, one of which was that it was strictly forbidden for travelers to enter the Soul Society.

……

In the virtual world.

Aizen has been keeping a close eye on Ichigo's movements.

With his ability, it was not difficult for him to leave some backup plans on Ichigo in advance so as to monitor his actions.

He was not only aware of Ichigo's movements.

He was also very clear about Rukia Kuchiki's movements.

When Rukia Kuchiki wore the artificial body he made, that artificial body was not that simple.

"It was successful!"

He realized that Ichigo had brought the ball formed by the anti-membrane silk to the Soul Society.

Aizen was very satisfied.

Anti-membrane is a special ability possessed by Xu.

The Hollow opens the Black Chamber by relying on the power of the Anti-Membrane, which is a unique spatial ability that gives the Hollow the possibility to cross the barriers of the world at will and travel to other worlds. Condensing the power of the Anti-Membrane into threads is a unique ability of an Arrancar under Aizen.

This Arrancar is a Hollow artificially created by Sar Apollo.

Roga-Paramiya!

Inside this virtual body, there is a special organ that can weave unique anti-membrane silk threads, with the help of which it can stick to various substances.

The anti-membrane filaments themselves have the property of traveling through space.

The sphere that Ichigo Kurosaki carried was woven from anti-membrane silk threads.

When it appeared in Seireitei.

This means that the extremely solid "soul-blocking membrane" that even blocks the space above Seireitei has lost its effectiveness, and the rumor that the void has never appeared in Seireitei is about to be broken.

Hueco Mundo and Seireitei have built a unique passage with the help of anti-membrane threads.

"Order the Third Army to march towards Soul Society and let Soul Society feel the power of our Hueco Mundo."

Aizen gave orders to Sal Apollo beside him.

Since following Aizen, Sal Apollo has also taken another path. He is no longer obsessed with the so-called "notification of conception" and thus downgrade himself. Now, he is the butler of the Kyūya Palace and Aizen's right-hand man.

Sar Apollo took out a device similar to the Soul Society's Reisubo Communicator and gave the order.

Soon, an army of Hollows gathered.

Leading the group was a group of Arrancar.

The number of Hollows is far greater than that of Death Gods.

After Aizen entered the Hueco Mundo, he followed the example of the Gotei 13 and selected ten Espadas from among the Hollows, targeting the captain of the Gotei 13.

Under the command of each of the Ten Espada, there are a large number of Hollows, forming a legion corresponding to the soldiers of the Gotei 13.

Because he came to Hueco Mundo early, unlike in the original story where he hibernated in Soul Society for many years and had no time to stay in Hueco Mundo for a long time, Aizen now has plenty of time to manage Hueco Mundo because he has been staying in Hueco Mundo.

Under his command, a total of eleven legions were developed in the entire Hueco Mundo.

Each of the Ten Espada commanded one of the legions.

And he himself also has a legion.

The legion under his command corresponds to the "Zero Squad"!
The Third Legion assembled, and at the signal of Sal Apollo, Luo Jia stepped forward and, with the help of the connection between the anti-membrane threads, connected the anti-membrane threads that had already infiltrated the Soul Society. Another Hollow stepped forward to assist her in opening the black cavity.

The huge black cavity opened.

At the same time, in Soul Society, the Technology Development Department also issued a warning.

In the sky, an extremely dark crack appeared.
