Chapter 237 Final preparations
The turmoil that Aizen had created had finally come to an end.

As the Sixth Division went to Hueco Mundo to garrison and transform it, the world returned to peace.

Although Xia Mu wanted to slow down and take a rest, he finally restrained himself when he thought of the impending Quincy crisis.

It is precisely because we are in times of peace that we should be prepared for danger.

We cannot regard Aizen’s crisis as the final crisis. In fact, the defeat of Aizen this time was itself a coincidence.

If it weren't for various accidents, it wouldn't have been so easy for the Gotei 13 to clip Aizen's wings and defeat the eleven legions. Even though the Soul Society has achieved profound research results in Kidō weapons over the years, which has greatly enhanced the vitality of the Shinigami, the eleven legions in Hueco Mundo were also formed by Aizen in imitation of the Gotei 13. Influenced by the Soul Society, Aizen also developed a lot of technology in Hueco Mundo. Perhaps the technological level of Hueco Mundo is not as strong as that of Soul Society, but it still should not be underestimated.

First, Natsuki destroyed the Great Hollow Forest, and the collapse of the Great Hollow Forest affected the Kurome Palace, causing a great loss of strength in the eleven legions. Many Hueco Mundo's research creations collapsed and were destroyed along with the buildings. In addition, the power of the Hollow King in Aizen's body was revived, devouring most of the Ten Espada of Hueco Mundo, which weakened the top combat power of Hueco Mundo.

In addition, when the Gotei 13 reached Hueco Mundo, Aizen was in seclusion and did not come out, leaving Hueco Mundo leaderless.

This allowed the Gotei 13 to advance all the way to Kyonya Palace.

In the final analysis, the world of Death God is a world of top combat power, and the bottom combat power is just small fry. As long as you are strong enough, it is not impossible to defeat a thousand or ten thousand at once. Especially the most terrifying Zanpakuto can easily affect a vast area and even shake the Three Realms.

This is also the reason why the Gotei 13 fell into a disadvantage when only Aizen was left in Kyonyaku.

As long as the individual's strength is strong enough, it will be enough to rewrite the entire battle situation.

"Youhabach is also such a person!"

It reminds me of the Quincy and Yhwach.

Xia Mu only felt that there was a heavy pressure on his shoulders.

As long as Yhwach is still alive, he can create an endless supply of Quincies with his means.

In other words, although the Kidō Cannon that year eliminated the Quincies hiding in the spirit particle space, it does not mean that Yhwach is the only remaining enemy. The Quincies are more troublesome opponents than the Hollows, as they have the ability to manipulate spirit particles.

Among the methods currently used by the God of Death, many of them rely on spirit particles.

Apart from anything else, the ghost weapons that can only be wielded by the combined strength of everyone use spirit particles as energy, and seem to be affected by the abilities of the Quincies.

Compared to the Quincy's restraint on the Shinigami's many abilities, the Shinigami have no good way to fight against the Quincy and can only rely on their own Zanpakutō.

The Quincies also seemed to know the horror of the Death God's Zanpakutō, which is why the star emblem appeared in the original work.

"Kisuke, it's time for us to have a serious talk."

Xia Mu came to the Technical Development Bureau of the 12th Division.

Ye Yi had the idea of ​​retiring to the second line. This represented the determination of the great nobles and there was no need to stop it.

However, Urahara Kisuke did not retreat with Yoruichi.

As the second director of the Technical Development Bureau and the captain of the 12th Division, he holds a pivotal position in Soul Society. Even if someone like him wants to retire, the captain-general will never agree.

Of course, Urahara Kisuke had no intention of retiring.

Like Natsuki, he had noticed the Quincy long before and knew that Yhwach was not dead.

A lot of preparations had been made before this in order to fight against the Quincy who might make a comeback at any time.

At this moment, after Xia Mu came and said a lot of things, Urahara Kisuke's expression immediately became serious.

He did not ask Xia Mu where he got the information from.

Because it was meaningless, Urahara Kisuke was more willing to believe Natsuki than the source of the information.

"There's not much time left!"

……

Ishida Uryu once again came to the Soul Society.

During the reconstruction of Karakura Town, his father, Ishida Uryu, came to Karakura Town, met him and his grandfather, and then talked to him about some things.

When I came to Soul Society to rescue Rukia.

Ishida Uryu learned some truths about the Quincies from Natsuki, understood why his mother died, and also gained some understanding of the reasons why his father's temperament changed drastically since then.

However, after returning to Karakura Town, even though Ishida Uryu wanted to have a chat with the other party, he could not find an opportunity.

This is also a regret in his heart.

He didn't expect that after the disaster at Karakura Town, this man would take the initiative to find him.

From his father's mouth, Ishida Uryu understood a lot of things.

His father even apologized to him in person.

For Uryu Ishida, of course he chose to forgive his father.

It would be fine if you didn't know the reason.

Now that they knew the reason, why couldn't the father and son resolve their differences?

Compared to the misunderstandings of the past.

What Ishida Uryu cares more about is revenge for his mother.

He thought of what Natsuki said in Soul Society. He himself was a very special existence. If he could tap into his hidden abilities, he might be able to become Yhwach's nemesis.

Ishida Uryu did not hide anything and told these things directly to his father.

Surprisingly, Ryugen Ishida did not tell him not to come into contact with the god of death.

But said to him.

"Since you want to do this, just go for it. No matter what happens, I will be your solid backer!"

Such words deeply moved Ishida Uryu.

Afterwards, he accepted his father's teachings and learned all kinds of knowledge about the Quincy.

Although for many years, he has been receiving instruction from his grandfather, Sogen Ishida.

But according to his grandfather, his father Ishida Ryugen was more talented and stronger, so Ishida Uryu received better teaching from Ishida Ryugen.

The increase in strength made Ishida Uryu more confident in avenging his mother.

He also did not forget that Yhwach was the ancestor of the Quincies, and all the Quincies were his descendants. It would be difficult to fight against Yhwach by simply increasing the power of the Quincies. If he wanted to defeat this guy, he had to tap into another power hidden in his body.

This is also the reason why Uryu Ishida came to Soul Society.

Help Urahara Kisuke conduct experiments to analyze the power hidden in the body. …

Unlike Ishida Uryu, who is only interested in increasing his strength and avenging his mother.

Ichigo Kurosaki enjoyed a peaceful life for a while.

Although he knew that his father was the god of death, his life did not change much. On the contrary, after using the last Crescent Moon Sky Strike, he lost all the power of the god of death. Now he can no longer see the existence of spirits. Although he knows the existence of that world, he cannot see it.

Logically speaking, this ordinary feeling is what he has always longed for but could not get since he was very young.

But why do I feel so lost and confused?
When Ichigo was a child, he could see spirits because of his powerful spiritual power. He often talked to spirits and was regarded as a freak by those who could not see spirits. He received a lot of strange looks. It was also for this reason that he did not have many childhood playmates.

Although he did not grow up crooked because of his father and mother, sometimes he couldn't help but think how great it would be if he couldn't see that world.

Although later on, I gradually got used to that world and my own uniqueness.

But this was indeed his dream for some time.

Now, the reason why she was confused and lost was perhaps because she knew the truth about the world, knew that her father was unusual, and understood that her sisters also possessed spiritual power. The existence of spiritual power made them special, but it also made them coveted by the void and more vulnerable to attacks by the void.

Before this, Ichigo also possessed the power of the God of Death, so he could naturally protect his family and sisters personally.

Now, he has lost that power.

Although Aizen has been defeated, and although there are still the gods of death guarding this world in secret, it is not he who can guard such a world personally.

"Ichigo's family is my family. Ichigo, you don't have to feel too bad. From now on, let me protect you."

Seeing Ichigo's confusion, Akaneshizuku, who lived in Ichigo's house, said this to Ichigo.

On that day, because of Natsuki, Akaneshizuku was completely transformed from the Missing Pearl into a real spirit. Afterwards, she put on a special artificial body and temporarily lived in the Kurosaki family as a human. The Soul Society even paid for her living expenses. In addition to being able to live as a human, Akaneshizuku could even transform into a Death God because she inherited the power of the Death God.

However, the Gotei 13 did not give her the identity of a proxy Shinigami. After all, she was by Ichigo's side. Akaneshizuku was always under the surveillance of Soul Society. It was extremely rare for her to transform from a thought bead into a real spirit. It was the only example, so naturally it had to be taken seriously.

"Akane Shizuku..."

Hearing Akaneshizuku's words, Ichigo couldn't help but look up at her.

There was some emotion in his eyes.

In the Battle of Karakura Town, when Aizen arrived in the city, the whole city fell into chaos.

He and Ishida and others fought against Aizen, and it was Akane Shizuku who helped him protect his mother and sisters.

Now, after losing all his power, Akane Shizuku said this again, which made Ichigo even more upset.

And deep down, I can't help but feel a little guilty.

Protecting his family was originally his job, but now he has lost all his strength and can do nothing.

……

"Can you still contact Ginjo Kūgo?"

In the 13th Division, Xia Mu asked Shiba Kaiyan.

"Ginjo Kūgo? The first generation Shinigami agent?" When Shiba Kaiyan heard the name, he thought for a while and then remembered who it was.

Ichigo is not the first Shinigami agent.

Many years ago, there appeared a child born to a god of death and a human. Because of his special background, this child was born with powerful strength when he grew up. He looked for like-minded companions everywhere, and even developed an ability called "Fullbring" to fight against the Hollows.

Soul Society discovered the existence of these guys and finally recruited the leader of this organization.

The leader of the organization, Ginjō Kūgo, became the first Shinigami agent.

As a human being, he fulfills the duties of the god of death.

"Yes, his Fullbring, Kisuke once studied it, it's a very interesting ability, this ability is related to Hollows."

"All Fullbringers have one thing in common, that is, they were attacked by Hollows while still in their mother's womb. A portion of the Hollow's power invaded the mother's body and was born into the child's body, merging with their soul. Although this power originates from the Hollow, it is completely different from the Hollow. If it can be developed, it is a very powerful ability."

After a pause, Xia Mu continued, "Ichigo has the potential to become a Fullbringer. He also has the power of a Hollow in his body. This power of a Hollow is innate."

"Because of using the forbidden moves of your Shiba family, Ichigo has now lost all his power. This is a very depressing thing for him. I think if he can learn the Fullbring, it may help him regain his power."

"!!!"

When Zhiba Haiyan heard this, her eyes suddenly froze.

After knowing Ichigo's life experience, he has been actively in contact with Ichigo, and even through the communication function attached to the Shinigami proxy certificate, he told Ichigo a lot of common sense about Shinigami. Now that Ichigo has lost the power of the Shinigami, he naturally can no longer contact him, but Shiba Kaien still keeps an eye on Ichigo and knows how Ichigo feels recently.

He really wanted to help Ichigo regain his strength.

However, the source of Ichigo's loss of power was the secret technique of the Shiba family.

As the current head of the Shiba family, Shiba Kaien also knows this secret technique and understands that it is very difficult to recover its power.

Unexpectedly, I got a completely different answer from Xia Mu.

"Is what Captain Xia Mu said true?"

Xia Mu did not give a definite answer, "It's just a guess, but Ichigo played a crucial role in our ability to defeat Aizen and banish him to hell. If it weren't for Ichigo's attack that cost him his strength, Aizen wouldn't be so weak. So it's reasonable for us to help Ichigo."

"If Ichigo can learn the Fullbring, it means he has regained his spiritual power."

"As long as his spiritual power reappears in his body, we will have a trigger, and the follow-up matters will be very simple."

"Follow-up?" Zhiba Haiyan looked at Xia Mu in confusion.

Xia Mu talked about something, "Why was Rukia Kuchiki executed?"

Zhiba Haiyan was stunned for a moment, then remembered the reason.

The main reason why Rukia was executed was that she gave the power of death to humans without authorization.

Anyone who can be given the power of death must actually meet one condition, that is, they must possess spiritual power. Only those who possess spiritual power can carry this power.

"Could it be..."

Shiba Kaien guessed what Xia Mu was thinking.

"Kurosaki Ichigo has helped us so much, it wouldn't hurt for us to make an exception!"
