Chapter 185: Troubles continue, fateful encounters!
A pitch-black crack emerged.
The fluctuations in space swept across the entire Soul Society.
At the first moment, many instruments in the Technology Development Bureau started to sound wildly and issued early warnings.
Nowadays, the Technology Development Bureau's surveillance of Soul Society has reached an incredible level.
In Soul Society, they can quickly detect any unusual incidents that occur.
Not to mention, this black cavity was opened within the Soul Society.
How did Hollow bypass the soul-blocking membrane and open the black chamber directly inside the Soul Society?
There is no answer to this question yet.
But this did not affect their quick summons to the entire Gotei 13.
"Warning! Warning!"
"A large-scale black cavity reaction has occurred in the sky above Seireitei. A Hollow is about to come from the opposite side and attack Seireitei!"
"!!!"
Among the Gotei 13, no matter whether they were on a mission, playing lazily, or doing other things, all the Shinigami became alert at the first moment, then put down their work and quickly gathered.
First team, under the corridor of the executive office.
Captain Yamamoto also looked serious and looked ahead.
Because the first captain was tall enough, he could see more clearly how the black cavity opened from his high vantage point.
The huge black cavity cracked open, and then an extremely powerful spiritual pressure emanated from it.
One by one, the ghosts jumped out from inside.
These virtual beings are very similar in appearance to humans, but are much taller and more muscular, each one is about three meters tall.
Of course, this is nothing.
What is most concerning is that they look almost identical.
Can't tell, really can't tell.
Just like twin brothers, these virtual appearances are carved from the same mold.
The only difference is.
The spiritual pressure aura released from them is different.
This shows that they are different individuals.
There are a lot of virtual ones.
It didn't take too long from the time the black cavity opened, the Technology Development Bureau issued a warning, to the time when Xu jumped out from it.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of almost identical virtual beings appeared from the other end of the black cavity.
A slightly petite man finally walked out from the other end of the black cavity.
He glanced at his subordinates and immediately issued an order.
"Follow Lord Aizen's instructions and create a big commotion in the Soul Society!"
"attack!"
Hundreds of virtual beings flew in all directions at the same time.
It was also at this time.
Captain-General Yamamoto also issued further orders to the Gotei 13 through the spirit particle communication device.
The command is simple.
"Attack!"
The entire Soul Society was thrown into turmoil at the first moment.
"How could this happen? Why did the Hollow appear in Seireitei?"
In the Tenth Division, the vice-captain Momo Hinamori looked ahead in shock.
Although the captain gave the order immediately.
However, the number of these virtual ones is too large.
Their speed is also fast enough.
After dispersing, Xu immediately condensed Xu Shan and launched an attack on the building without saying a word.
Even though the Gotei 13 had responded promptly due to the many joint exercises they had conducted over the years, they still lost the initiative and allowed these Hollows to wreak havoc in the Soul Society.
The power of Xu Shan is naturally beyond doubt.
Otherwise, it couldn't be used as Xu's trump card.
What is most unimaginable to Momo Hinamori is that all these Hollows have mastered the Hollow Flash.
Isn't it said that only the Great Void can use Void Flash?
Could it be that these are all... big illusions?
……
"Da Xu, of course not!"
"But they are similar to the Great Hollow."
Within the eleventh squadron.
As a combat squad, Xia Mu, as the captain, did not attack immediately.
Instead, he led Yadomaru Lisa to find a slightly higher place, that is, the roof, and watched the rest of the Shinigami of the Gotei 13 fighting with these Hollows.
There are a lot of virtual ones.
There are hundreds of them.
If it appears in other areas, it may be a tough battle.
But this is inside the Soul Society, the headquarters of the God of Death.
With the current combat strength of the Gotei 13, if they cannot even deal with these Hollows, it would be better for the Gotei 13 to disband as soon as possible.
While these Hollows were using Hollow Flash to destroy the buildings of the Gotei 13, the Shinigami of the Gotei 13 were also counterattacking.
The light of ghosts continued to flicker in the Soul Society.
Thanks to the continuous development of Ghost Way weapons.
The battle between the God of Death and the Hollow no longer requires close combat like in the past.
You can completely overwhelm it with a covering attack.
Boom boom boom! !
The roar continued to echo.
Xia Mu glanced at the situation on the battlefield, then retracted his gaze and looked at Yadomaru Lisa and said, "I remember I once told you that a new type of Hollow with a Zanpakutō appeared in Hueco Mundo."
"The characteristic of this kind of emptiness is that the mask is broken."
"I call them Arrancar!"
"And the Hollow that appeared in the Soul Society at this moment is the Arrancar."
The existence of the Arrancar is no secret. After the Soul Burial Incident, they came into the sight of the Gotei 13 and were learned by the Gotei 13. However, due to the complicated situation in Hueco Mundo, the Soul Society did not prevent the exploration of Hueco Mundo, but chose to hide in Soul Society and prepare for war based on the known intelligence.
"When the Hollow's mask is broken, their boundaries will also be destroyed. They will either collapse and die, or gain even more powerful power."
"Even the most ordinary Hollow can be comparable to the Great Hollow with the blessing of this power!"
The pupils of Lisa Yadomaru's eyes shrank slightly behind her glasses.
Although she is in the 11th Division, as the vice-captain, she has a lot to consider. She is definitely not an ordinary reckless person. She is one of the few members in the 11th Division who possesses strategy.
Xia Mu's words made her think deeply.
If an ordinary Void breaks its mask, it can be compared to a Great Void. If the Great Void's mask is broken, how powerful will it be?
Right now, the black cavity has opened inside Soul Society. Will more hollows appear?
Will it include Daxu?
Xia Mu continued to look in the direction of the battle and thought of many things.
"After lying dormant in Hueco Mundo for so many years, you finally couldn't hold back anymore and decided to go to war with Soul Society?"
"Aizen Sosuke!"
What happened this time was obviously the work of Aizen, who was testing the Soul Society.
The only thing that made Xia Mu curious was whether Aizen also came to the Soul Society?
After all, it was Aizen who brought Ichigo and the others to Soul Society.
This is what happened in the Soul Society after Ichigo came to Soul Society.
It would have been too boring if Aizen hadn't come.
Or did he create such a big fuss just to add some fun to the peaceful life of the God of Death?
……
In Rukongai.
Ichigo and the others were very frustrated.
He had already stepped half a foot into the Soul Society, but was driven out again due to the obstruction of the God of Death.
This also implicated the guard of Baidao Gate, Sidanfang, who was reprimanded.
Although the time they had been in contact with Sidanfang was not long, Ichigo and the others were still moved by the other party's adherence to its promise.
The other party accepted the failure calmly.
After losing, he decisively opened the White Gate for them.
Although Sidanfang was not injured, he could still try to open the Baidao Gate for them again. Those Grim Reapers could not stay behind the Baidao Gate forever.
But Ichigo did not ask Shidanbo to do so.
After all, Sidanfang still has to live in Soul Society.
If you do this, no one knows what fate you will encounter.
Ichigo decided to choose another way to enter the Soul Society.
However, due to his unfamiliarity with Soul Society, he couldn't think of any good solution for the time being.
It was at this time that Taitora Chado met an acquaintance.
Yuichi Shibata!
This is a child with whom Chad Taitora has a deep bond.
He is also a poor child.
Before his death, he witnessed his mother being killed by a serial killer. He bravely chose to fight with the killer, which caused the killer to accidentally fall from the building and die. However, he did not expect that the killer turned into a Hollow after his death, and continued to torture him since then, and stuffed his soul into the body of a parrot. One by one, humans who tried to protect Yuichi Shibata were killed by the Hollow. Yasutora Chad was the last person to meet Yuichi Shibata, and he fought with the Hollow because of this.
But Chad Taisho was lucky because he met Ichigo Kurosaki.
So in the end Hollow was killed and he and Ichigo developed a friendship.
Shibata Yuichi was also liberated because of this, and his soul was guided into the Soul Society.
This all happened not long ago.
Yasutora Chadashi never expected that after coming to Soul Society, he would meet Yuichi Shibata again. The other party was no longer in the form of a parrot, but had returned to human form, which made him very happy.
It’s still the same problem, Ichigo and his group are really lucky.
Rukongai is so big that you can still encounter Shibata Yuichi here.
Although he has not been in Soul Society for long, Shibata Yuichi has already adapted to life here. The only thing that makes him uncomfortable is that he has not found his mother in Rukongai yet. This is destined to be a long journey.
At the invitation of Yuichi Shibata, Ichigo and others went to Shibata's residence and lived there first.
During this process, they began to think about how to enter the Soul Society.
But I still couldn't think of any safe method.
"It seems that you are in trouble!"
A deep voice came out and fell into Ichigo's ears.
Ichigo looked up suddenly, then rubbed his eyes.
For a moment he thought he had seen it wrong.
"Teacher? Why are you here?"
"After much thought, I feel that it is too dangerous for you to come directly to Soul Society without a guide, so I decided to come and help you."
The man spoke calmly.
……
Boom boom boom! !
The Ghost Cannon is released.
A Void was directly annihilated and disappeared under the terrifying impact.
The Gotei 13 have demonstrated their superb teamwork skills after so many years of joint exercises.
The Gotei 13 are no longer fighting alone, but working as a whole.
The 12th Division used the new collar communication device to immediately send the exact location of the Hollow to each Shinigami. With the spirit particle communicator in their hands, which was similar to a smartphone, they could know the Hollow's location more intuitively.
Under the coordination of the First Division, the Shinigami of each division fought against different Hollows in an orderly manner.
When facing a hollow, the god of death will first use the binding weapon to restrain it.
There are also death gods who use barrier-like ghost weapons to protect the surrounding environment.
Of course, all the extremely powerful weapons that could break the path were also thrown at him to parry.
This new way of fighting destroyed Xu before he even got close to the God of Death.
Although some of the Voids used Void Flash, causing some damage to the buildings.
But this is ultimately a low-probability event.
"Although I don't know how these Hollows broke through the soul-blocking membrane and entered the Soul Society, it is now over."
The bald head of Madarame was particularly shining under the sunlight.
He glanced at another person not far away.
That was Saraki.
In the 11th Division, the opponent is an outlier.
There is no pursuit for seats.
Just like fighting.
After the Hollow appeared in Soul Society this time, he was also the fastest runner.
Unlike most Shinigami who rely on Kidō weapons to keep themselves safe in battle, Zaraki chooses to directly confront the Hollows head-on. Of course, these Hollows can't do anything to Zaraki.
On the contrary, because the Gotei 13 responded so quickly, the Hollows were quickly eliminated.
Zaraki didn't enjoy the fight.
Ayasegawa Yumichika stood next to Madarame Ikkaku and also put away his Zanpakutō.
"It should be just an accidental incident. After all, the soul-blocking membrane is not damaged."
He raised his head and looked towards the sky.
There are blue sky and white clouds, but in fact, between the blue sky and white clouds, there is a powerful barrier called "Soul-Blocking Membrane". The existence of Soul-Blocking Membrane separates Seireitei from Rukongai. Even though Seireitei is surrounded by towering walls, outsiders cannot enter Seireitei by climbing over the walls.
This barrier is like a huge bowl, covering the Soul Society.
You can only enter through the four doors located in the southeast, northwest and northeast of Seireitei.
In addition, even the ability of space will be blocked by the soul-blocking membrane.
It is also the same, in the past, the black cavity will only appear in Rukongai.
There has never been a Hollow in the Seireitei.
But this iron rule was broken today.
Ayasegawa Yumichika was a thoughtful person and he couldn't help but feel worried.
Just as he was thinking about things related to the soul-covering membrane.
Suddenly, he saw a white light appear in the sky.
"what is that?"
Ayasegawa Yumichika couldn't help but exclaim.
Madarame Ikkaku looked over quickly.
There were also many Shinigami scattered throughout the Soul Society who had just participated in the battle and looked up.
They found something unusual.
Originally, only the Black Chamber appeared within the Soul Society, and a considerable number of Hollows emerged from it.
Unexpectedly, the result happened not long after.
There are new changes.
boom!
White shells landed in the sky above the Soul Reincarnation Palace. The soul-blocking membrane, which was originally invisible and hard to be seen, suddenly became visible and began to vibrate. Amidst the ripples, the soul-blocking membrane, which was originally very solid, was finally pierced and broken through.
It seems that it took too much energy to break through the soul-blocking membrane.
After breaking through the soul-blocking membrane, the shell quickly dispersed and turned into several streams of light, falling towards various places in Soul Society at the same time.
“Ding ding ding!!”
The spirit communicator was beeping frantically.
Urahara Kisuke's voice was transmitted to the ears of all the Shinigami with the help of the spirit particle communicator.
"Be careful, a travel disaster has invaded the Soul Society!"
Because he had talked with Natsuki before, Urahara Kisuke knew that Kurosaki Ichigo had come to Soul Society.
It was just because the invasion of the Hollows was coming right after, so he had to divert his attention and focus on dealing with the Hollows. However, he did not expect that Ichigo Kurosaki and others would break into the Soul Society in this way.
He actually broke through the soul-blocking membrane with force.
Is this incident related to the previous invasion of the virtual group?
Who is the mastermind behind this?
The entire Soul Society, which had not yet calmed down after the Hollow invasion was resolved, became even more lively because of the Ryokai invasion.
After Zaraki learned the reason from Urahara Kisuke.
Without saying a word, he rushed towards a certain direction with a knife in hand.
It seems that he wants to fight with Ryoho who invaded Seireitei.
"That's his usual style!"
Ayase Gawa Yumichika glanced at Zaraki and sighed.
Then he said to Madarame Ikkaku, "How about we go have a few drinks?"
"Aren't you going to deal with the travel disaster?" asked Ikkaku Madarame.
"In the 11th Division, there are many who are stronger than us. We will take care of these things. Wouldn't it be nice to take a break after just finishing the battle?" Ayasegawa Yumichika said.
He finally convinced Madarame.
Madarame Ikkaku followed him and headed towards the tavern.
Because the battle had just ended.
The entire Gotei 13 was still in a highly assembled state. When the news of Hakari's invasion spread, although some people like Madarame Ikkaku and Ayasegawa Yumichika gave up, more people still tried to hunt down Hakari.
Hollows appeared in Seireitei, where they had never appeared before.
There was also the invasion of the Liberation Army. It is obviously impossible to say that these two events are unrelated.
Bang!
In the sky, a ball of white light slammed heavily onto the ground, leaving a hole on the ground.
Inside the pit, Ichigo slowly stood up and looked around in confusion.
"Is this the Seireitei?"
Originally he was still thinking about how to enter the Soul Society, but he didn't expect that the situation would take a turn for the better. The teacher actually appeared in the Soul Society and helped them to force their way into the Soul Society.
The only problem was that when they broke into the Soul Society, the impact was too great and they were forced to separate from Ishida, Inoue and the others.
I don't know where they have fallen to now.
Ichigo didn't have the energy to think too much about it.
Now that we have entered the Soul Society, the most important thing now is to find Rukia first.
Saving Rukia was his main purpose in coming to Soul Society.
He quickly found a direction to move forward.
Not long after, he encountered death.
This is not surprising.
After all, an attack by a group of Hollows had just occurred within the Soul Society, and the Gotei 13 had been mobilized. The Soul Society was filled with Reiwa Towers, and it would be quite difficult to hide among them.
But I have to say, as the child of destiny.
Ichigo Kurosaki's luck is simply extremely good.
When he encountered the Grim Reaper on the opposite side.
They couldn't help but stare at each other.
"Same, so similar!"
Ichigo looked at the person opposite him and felt like he was looking in a mirror.
Because the other person looks very similar to myself.
The only difference is the hair color, the other person has black hair, while he has orange hair.
The same feeling also appeared in Shiba Kaiyan's heart.
As the vice-captain of the 13th Division, Shiba Kaien is very busy because of the captain Ukitake Jushiro's poor health.
This time, a group of Hollows appeared in Soul Society, and he led his team to fight against them.
After the battle, he decided to return to the squad first and tell the captain about the details. Unexpectedly, he encountered a travel disaster on the way.
An extremely unfamiliar spiritual pressure.
And the warning sent by the spiritual communicator on his body.
Everything tells Zhiba Haiyan the identity of the person in front of him.
However, the biggest surprise was that this traveler looked exactly like he imagined.
“What an interesting thing!”
Shiba Kaien sighed in her heart, and then asked Ichigo in front of her: "You should be the travel disaster that broke into the Soul Society. It is not allowed to enter the Soul Society without permission."
"What travel disaster? I don't understand what you are talking about."
"I just want to save Rukia!"
Ichigo didn't know some of the Soul Society's specialized terms, and perhaps because the person in front of him looked a lot like him, he told him his purpose.
"Ok?"
Shiba Kaien looked at Ichigo in surprise.
"Rukia? Are you..." Rukia is the god of death of the 13th Division. She used to have a good relationship with Shiba Kaien. Shiba Kaien knew that the other party gave the power of the god of death to humans. According to what Byakuya Kuchiki said afterwards, he had destroyed the power of the god of death of that human.
But now, it looks like that is not the case.
Not only was the opponent's Shinigami power not destroyed, but it also came to the Soul Society and broke into the Soul Society.
"No one can stop me!"
Because he learned from his teacher what a despicable organization the Gotei 13 is, Ichigo does not have a good impression of the current Gotei 13 or these Shinigami. Ichigo just wants to find Rukia quickly and rescue her.
Even though the Grim Reaper in front of him looked very similar to him, as long as he wanted to stop him, he was definitely his enemy.
He immediately drew out the Zangetsu that was on his back.
The white bandage fell apart.
Ichigo flashed, swung his sword, and attacked Shiba Kaiyan.
Zhiba Haiyan frowned slightly.
I originally wanted to talk more with this traveler about Rukia, but now it seems that it is not the right time, so I can only choose to fight Ichigo.
He decided to defeat the troublemaker first.
Zanpakutō is unsheathed.
Asahi and the gigantic Zangetsu came into contact.
Powerful spiritual pressure burst out from the two people.
Ichigo retreated violently again and swung the sword in his hand.
The azure crescent moon flew out into the air.
"Crescent Moon Chong!"
