Urahara Kisuke and others have speculated whether the Hell's Gate incident is related to Aizen.
It must be related to Aizen.
After all, it's such a coincidence.
Not long after Aizen was thrown into hell, hell began to move strangely.
Combined with some of the things Aizen did in the Hueco Mundo and his terrifying strength, there is no doubt that even in hell, Aizen would not be very content. The only good news at the moment is probably that only one door to hell has appeared, and Aizen himself has not struggled back from hell.
At first, Urahara Kisuke didn't understand the reason, until this moment, after learning about the situation in hell from Natsuki, he immediately had the answer in his mind.
However, not all doubts have been dispelled.
There are still some questions filling Urahara Kisuke's mind.
Fortunately, before he could open his mouth, Ye Yi took the initiative to ask these questions.
"How do you know these things?"
"Natsuki, even our Gotei 13 don't know much about hell, and there is no corresponding record in the files of our noble families."
Yoruichi stared at Natsuki, curious.
Although Urahara Kisuke didn't say anything, he looked at Natsuki.
As for Ichigo, Ishida Uryu, Akane Shizuku, Inoue Orihime, Chataro Yasutora and others, there is no need to say more.
Xia Mu felt the gazes of several people and sighed, "I didn't want to tell you originally, but it doesn't hurt to tell you now. The reason why I know these things is because I have been to hell. It is because I have been there personally that I know the situation there."
"!!!"
Ichigo and the others are not sure what hell represents.
Yoruichi and Urahara Kisuke were shocked when they heard what Natsuki said.
"When?"
Xia Mu actually went to hell. When did it happen?
Immediately, without waiting for Xia Mu to answer, they had the answer in their hearts.
"At that time, you disappeared in Hueco Mundo and all your spiritual pressure reactions disappeared. Could it be that..."
Urahara Kisuke asked Natsuki.
"That's right." Xia Mu nodded, "In the Hueco Mundo, during the battle with Aizen, I encountered some accidents and fell into hell."
"Hell is full of miasma, and its laws are completely different from those of Soul Society. Fortunately, I am very sensitive to the power of spirit particles, and I noticed the peculiarity of hell right away. In addition, I carried a lot of the cards that you made for me to store spiritual energy, so I was able to struggle out of hell by chance."
“But after my trip to hell, some changes have occurred in me.”
As he spoke, Xia Mu raised his hand, and a stream of air filled with the breath of death and despair emerged above Xia Mu's palm. After feeling this power, everyone felt uncomfortable.
Immediately, Xia Mu flipped his palm, and the force disappeared again.
After this power disappeared, Urahara Kisuke and others were still shocked by this power, especially Urahara Kisuke and Yoruichi, who thought of the time when Natsuki summoned the gate of hell. Now it seems that it was because Natsuki had mastered some of the power of hell that he was able to do such a thing.
If you master the power of hell, you can summon the gates of hell, right?
Urahara Kisuke thought of this and immediately asked Natsuki the same question.
Xia Mu said calmly: "As long as we can gather enough hell power, we can indeed summon the hell gate, but in order for the hell gate to penetrate the two worlds, we need spirit particles. Otherwise, even if we summon the hell gate, it will be difficult to interfere with the world."
"Although I don't know how Aizen did it, his purpose in making the gate of hell appear in the human world is definitely not as simple as just kidnapping a few humans."
“Sometimes, what seems like a coincidence may very well be intentional.”
As he spoke, Natsuki glanced at Ichigo who was standing beside him.
Ichigo felt Natsuki's gaze. He was in a bad mood because of his sister. Now he finally reacted and said in a low voice, "His goal is... me."
I thought of the entanglement between myself and Aizen.
Ichigo believes that this is Aizen's revenge on him.
"It's you, and it's not you."
Xia Mu expressed his guess.
"After the final battle with Aizen, you have lost all your Shinigami powers. Aizen probably doesn't know that your powers have been restored, but you are special and have a great debt to our Gotei 13. If your two sisters are kidnapped, the Gotei 13 will definitely not sit idly by."
"If I were Aizen, I would definitely open the gates of hell again. At that time, in order to rescue your sister, the strong men of the Gotei 13 would definitely step into it and try to enter hell."
"Even if we are indifferent and ignore this matter, your father and the Shiba family will never stand idly by."
Xia Mu changed his tone and continued, "Earlier, I talked about the method of escaping from hell. It requires the power of hell and the spirit particles to be balanced with each other, so that we can get rid of the constraints of hell's laws and escape from hell. To do this, there is a very simple way, that is, to find enough and strong enough living people to sacrifice."
"Through sacrifice, replace yourself from hell."
"As we all know, a strong person can be equivalent to many ordinary souls."
That’s it for now.
Ichigo's mood grew worse.
"Aizen's goal is... Dad."
As he spoke, Ichigo immediately made up his mind, "Dad has worked hard enough for this family, I absolutely cannot let him be in danger again. I want to rescue my sister myself."
He looked at Natsuki again, "Teacher, you said that Aizen will open the gate of hell again, right?"
"This is just a guess." Xia Mu said.
"Whether it's speculation or not, for Youzi and Xiali, I have to go into hell. According to the teacher, if they stay in hell for too long, they may never come back."
Feeling Ichigo's determination.
Xia Mu sighed again.
"That's it, that's it."
"Since I am your teacher, let me help you."
"I can open the gates of hell and even accompany you into hell in person."
When Ichigo heard these words, he felt so touched that it was difficult to describe in words.
"teacher……"
Xia Mu ignored Ichigo's emotion and looked at Ishida Uryu again, "Ishida, try to see if you can reverse this power."
As he spoke, the power of hell that had disappeared earlier reappeared in his hands.
When Ishida Uryu heard what Xia Mu said, his heart trembled and he nodded.
Then, Natsuki injected the power of hell into Ishida Uryu's body, and it was completely reversed by Ishida Uryu. In an instant, the power reversed and returned to Natsuki's body.
"I am becoming more and more curious about the upper limit of your ability."
Xia Mu sighed sincerely. The power of hell is the power of death, but it was still reversed by Ishida Uryuu, which means that this power is enough to subvert life and death.
But if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising that the upper limit of Ishida Uryu's power is extremely high.
After all, even Yhwach cannot do anything about this power. Even Ishida Uryuu can influence Yhwach in turn.
Especially the final battle in the original book.
At that time, Yhwach had devoured the Soul King, and his own existence was already close to being invincible. Although he had some problems with his concept of time due to hypnosis by Aizen Kyoka Suigetsu and woke up early, he had not yet reached perfection, and his omniscience and omnipotence still had some flaws.
But Yhwach at that time was scary enough.
However, he was still affected by Ishida Uryu's ability, causing him to lose his ability for a moment, and was killed by Ichigo.
"Ishida, you should come with us too."
Natsuki said to Ishida Uryuu.
Ishida Uryu nodded.
Although he is not very familiar with Ichigo's two sisters, he is very familiar with Ichigo, and he feels obligated to help Ichigo.
"As for you, just stay in the human world for now." Xia Mu looked at the others again, "I know you have learned some new skills recently and want to help Ichigo, but the situation in hell is special. Even I am not sure that I can bring all of you back safely from there, so the fewer people the better."
"I have faith in Ichigo's abilities. Even though I don't really want him to go to Hell, I guess there's no way to stop him."
"As for you, I have to be responsible for you."
Natsuki's words dispelled the idea of Inoue Orihime and others following Ichigo to hell.
"Ichigo, you must return safely." Akaneshizuku warned Ichigo.
Inoue Orihime also said to Ichigo: "Kurosaki-kun, you must be careful."
Ichigo nodded.
The opening of the gates of hell happened not long ago.
This means that it wasn't long before Ichigo's two sisters fell into hell.
If we want to rescue them, we must act quickly.
If over time they were infected by the breath of hell and completely transformed into creatures of hell, that would not be a good thing.
After finding an open space, Xia Mu activated the power of hell. In an instant, the laws of hell intertwined, attracting the power of another world, and the gate of hell took shape instantly.
Ichigo and Ishida Uryuu stood beside Natsuki.
"Let's go in."
Xia Mu said to the two of them.
If it were just himself and Ichigo, he would definitely not think of entering hell again.
Even during the battle with Aizen, the power of hell was completely integrated into his body and became one of the forces he could control. Even if he stepped into hell, he could break free, but risks still existed. If his spiritual power was exhausted in hell, he would still be in danger of being left there.
However, with the help of Uryu Ishida, this risk is minimal.
The "complete reversal" that can transfer all unfavorable situations to others is a magical skill that can turn the tide.
……
In hell.
Miasma is rampant.
A group of figures wearing chains and large cloaks are gathering.
The two girls were led by them and continued to move forward.
On the way forward, they suddenly encountered some obstacles.
A man stood in front of them.
"Zhu Lian, what do you want to do?"
"We are all dead. Why do you want to interfere in the world of the living?"
"It's you?" Hearing the words of the man in front of him, a young man with purple hair and a sinister face showed some amusement in his eyes, "Why do you want to interfere in the world of the living? Of course you want to leave hell."
"But I didn't expect to meet you here, Black Knife!"
"Are you curious about why I can open the gates of hell and interfere with the human world?"
"This is because I gained a brand new power!"
"Now, the bait is in place. As long as I proceed step by step, I can leave here soon."
Then, the man named Zhu Lian said to the man in front of him called Black Blade, "In this Black Rope Hell, you are a strong enough to compete with me, so do you want to join us?"
"Using these two human girls as bait, we can wait for the fish to take the bait and return to the world of the living. We don't have to be the so-called sinners in this hell, and we don't have to hide from the jailers."
Faced with Zhu Lian's temptation, Heidao showed no expression.
He just looked at the two girls being led by Zhu Lian's subordinates.
Because they fell into hell, the two girls were frightened to varying degrees. The older one was fine, but the younger one kept shouting words like "Dad", "Mom" and "Brother". Heidao didn't care much about the first word.
But the word "brother" at the end immediately awakened his memories.
Except for the strong ones, those who fall into hell are those who have committed serious crimes and are not tolerated by the spiritual world.
Black Knife is such a person.
He committed a serious crime for his sister during his lifetime, which is why he fell into hell. In other words, he is a severe sister-con.
After hearing the girl's words, Heidao immediately thought of his sister, and then thought of the girl's brother.
As a brother, how painful and sad it must be to see his sister being brought into hell by a guy like Zhu Lian for his own selfish desires.
Thinking of this, Heidao immediately made up his mind.
"The world of the living has its own order, and the world of the dead has its own order. Since we are already dead, don't even think about returning to the world of the living."
"Zhu Lian, your idea is wrong."
Zhu Lian just found it funny when she heard such words, "Heidao, don't forget, we are not good people, I am not, and neither are you. If we were good people, we would not appear in this hell."
"Since you want to obey the order of the world of the dead, why don't you become a jailer? Why do you want to escape from the jailer's pursuit?"
"You yourself have not followed the order here, so you have no right to criticize me!"
As he spoke, a vast flame was released from Zhu Lian's hands and attacked the black knife in front of him.
While attacking Black Knife, Zhu Lian gave orders to his subordinates, "Take them to the gate of hell." (End of this chapter)
