West, London.

Unlike the people in the Soul Society of the Eastern World who felt a sense of urgency and were practicing madly.

In the western world, in the Western Bureau, time seemed to stand still.

The Quincy group did not make too much preparation for the war, or rather, they had already started preparing from the moment they were defeated a thousand years ago. Precisely because the preparation time was long enough, they were not in a hurry. They had already completed all the preparations that could be made, and now, they just had to wait for that time to come.

More than a hundred years ago, the Shinigami of the Gotei 13 discovered the existence of the Leviticus Dimension and destroyed it through drastic means, killing many Quincies as a result. However, this is not a very important matter.

Just because their emperor, Youhabach, is still alive.

As the emperor's assistant, Haschwald, the leader of the Stern Cross Knights, is also still alive.

The moment those Quincies died, their souls, along with their powers, all returned to Yhwach's body.

As long as Youhabach is willing, he can resurrect these dead people at any time.

After all, the most important thing in this world is the soul.

The body and other things can be reshaped at any time as long as one can use the spirit particles.

After having a soul and power, so-called death is nothing more than changing a body.

But this is not a good thing for the Quincy. It does not mean that they can be fearless of life and death and have no worries.

This is because Yhwach, who controls their life and death, is a cruel tyrant, cold-blooded and heartless. If you die, it means that you have no value to him. It is naturally impossible for him to consume his own power to help you resurrect. On the contrary, after death, your soul will be plundered by Yhwach. This is a tragedy for the Quincy, which means that even if they die, it is difficult for them to be free.

From this point of view, their fate is even more tragic than the Hollows who were killed by the Quincies.

The souls of the Hollows killed by the Quincy will be annihilated and will never be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation again. They will completely dissipate between heaven and earth.

Although the Quincy's soul did not dissipate, it became the nourishment for Yhwach's growth. Such an ending would be worse than just dissipating it.

At this moment.

Before the throne, Haschwald, the emperor's assistant, stood quietly and glanced at the people in front of him.

Some of these people were Quincy resurrected by Emperor Yhwach.

Some are newly born Quincy who were recently blessed by Emperor Youhabach. If they can survive and give birth to offspring, they may become the ancestors of a pure-blood family in the future.

However, the most important thing at the moment is to fight the unfinished war that happened a thousand years ago.

"His Majesty!"

His eyes swept over everyone one by one, and then, Hasward turned his head and looked at the figure sitting on the throne.

The figure on the throne was wearing a black robe, with his head lowered. His drooping black hair and thick mustache gave him a sinister aura. He did not speak, but he gave people an invisible sense of fear.

"The time is almost up!"

Finally, the figure sitting on the throne slowly raised his head.

This was the first sentence he spoke.

Soon after, more words came out of his mouth.

"A thousand years ago, we set out from the West and headed for the East. Wherever we went, we were victorious. But just when we were about to conquer the world and become its eternal ruler, those despicable gods of death became obstacles in our way. Our great cause was thus thwarted."

"Now, a thousand years have passed, and we have made a comeback. We should go to the Eastern world again and complete this unfinished battle!"

A calm voice came out.

The Eastern Expedition has become a foregone conclusion.

……

Time passed, and another period of time passed.

We are one step closer to the predicted time.

Hueco Mundo, this is an extremely desolate world.

Not to mention that the day is always night, the whole world is a desolate desert. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a broken world. However, such a world has its inevitability of existence.

Its existence is an extremely important part of the stable balance of the world.

The current Hueco Mundo has undergone some changes compared to the past, but the changes are not as great as imagined.

After all, time is too short.

After Aizen took over Hueco Mundo, he also made some reforms to Hueco Mundo, but his reforms were only limited to Hueco-Yoya Palace.

Now, after the Battle of Hueco Mundo, the Hueco Palace has been completely destroyed.

This means that Aizen's transformation of Hueco Mundo has become useless.

However, what he did did have some effect after all, for example, it made the Shinigami understand that the environment of Hueco Mundo can be transformed.

As for the previous Shinigami, they rarely took the initiative to interfere in the affairs of Hueco Mundo.

They usually live in Soul Society, and except for interfering when Hollows appear in the real world, they allow the Hollows to wreak havoc in the Hueco Mundo.

But Aizen's lesson made them begin to examine Hueco Mundo.

Soul Society may need to pay special attention to the changes in Hueco Mundo to prevent the emergence of beings similar to Aizen.

Therefore, after the war, Soul Society officially established a base in Hueco Mundo. A team will be stationed in Hueco Mundo for a long time to transform the environment of Hueco Mundo. At the same time, a permanent gate will be established to deepen the connection between Soul Society and Hueco Mundo.

This is to make it easier for Soul Society to control Hueco Mundo.

At the same time, it can also facilitate various experiments in Soul Society.

In the Soul Society of the past, many experiments were limited by the venue and were either conducted in the uninhabited area of ​​Rukongai or in the Dangai.

These places actually have some restrictions.

If the experiment is conducted in Hueco Mundo, there will be no such concerns.

The concentration of reishi in the Hueco Mundo is extremely high. Even if it is not the inner circle, it is comparable to the Soul Society. Conducting experiments in such a place will naturally have excellent results.

Standing in the desert, there are many buildings built of stone.

The style of the building is very simple, and it cannot be compared with the original Xuye Palace.

Inside the building, many cloaked grim reapers were walking around.

One of the red-haired men couldn't help but sigh: "The environment in Hueco Mundo is really bad. I don't know how those expeditionary forces survived in such an environment."

"Although the environment is not very good, it is precisely such an environment that can better hone our strength, isn't it?" Another voice sounded beside the red-haired man.

The red-haired man, the vice-captain of the Sixth Division, Abarai Renji, nodded in agreement and said, "Captain, you are right."

"During this time, I do feel that I have become stronger." "No wonder Captain Natsuki is so powerful. I'm afraid that his time in Hueco Mundo was also of great help to him."

Kenpachi Natsuki is undoubtedly a legendary figure among the many captains of the Gotei 13.

After the war with Aizen ended, some people secretly compared Natsuki and Captain Yamamoto, wondering in their hearts who was stronger.

It was also because of the extraordinary strength displayed by Xia Mu.

Therefore, Xia Mu's past was also dug up again.

Many Shinigami only then learned that Natsuki was not a professional Shinigami and had never studied in the Maou Academy of Spiritual Arts. He was from the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force and returned directly to Soul Society from Hueco Mundo, where he became a Shinigami. After that, he rose all the way and became Kenpachi in just a few years, and he has been like this until today.

Perhaps it is because of his experience in Hueco Mundo that Kenpachi Natsuki is stronger than ordinary people.

These people thought they had seen through the truth, but they didn't know that Natsuki had only stayed in Hueco Mundo for a few years in total. For Natsuki, his life in Hueco Mundo was actually similar to that of the Maou Academy of Spiritual Arts. It just laid a foundation and allowed him to learn some basic abilities of a Death God.

The biggest advantage is nothing more than more practical experience.

Xia Mu’s current strength is all due to his hard work and his innate special abilities.

Those with mediocre talents will never become powerful even if they stay in Hueco Mundo.

Therefore, although the environment can bring some increase in strength, it is not as important as imagined.

Ever since the complete decline of the aristocratic group, the aristocratic team of the Sixth Division began to transform. As the captain, Byakuya Kuchiki volunteered to come to Hueco Mundo to garrison. Now, the entire division has adapted to life in Hueco Mundo. Because they have just started the transformation, he, as the captain, and the vice-captain Abarai Renji also took the lead in staying in Hueco Mundo.

Once the future Hueco Mundo base is completed, they will return to Soul Society.

Life in Hueco Mundo is very boring.

Usually, Abarai Renji and others spend most of their time staying in the base, carrying out various construction projects.

Occasionally, he would take the initiative to go out and fight with Hollows in Hueco Mundo. However, since there are no powerful Hollows in Hueco Mundo now, going out to fight is actually a very boring thing. For powerful Shinigami like Kuchiki Byakuya and Abarai Renji, it is simply boring.

Of course, for the ordinary members of the Sixth Division, it is still a test.

this day.

The outer area of ​​Hueco Mundo.

A group of figures suddenly appeared in the vast sandstorm.

These people were all wearing white windbreakers with hoods. They covered their heads with the hoods to block out the vast sandstorm in the Hueco Mundo.

"Tsk, what a disgusting world."

At the front of the team, a man wearing an officer's hat curled his lips and commented on the environment of Hueco Mundo.

"I really don't understand why His Majesty the Emperor values ​​Hueco Mundo so much. It would be much easier to just attack those Shinigami from Soul Society, but he actually wants to occupy Hueco Mundo first."

"It's because of what happened more than a hundred years ago..."

Next to this man, another person talked about a past event.

Hearing this, the man who spoke earlier immediately looked unhappy.

Because he died once more than a hundred years ago.

This is an extremely embarrassing past event.

A thousand years ago, after the war ended, he, as a survivor, hid in the shadow of the Soul Society together with many of his companions, where he opened up a magnificent spirit particle space and built a palace belonging to the king. He has been hiding in it ever since, secretly observing the changes in the Gotei 13 and trying to understand the weaknesses of the Shinigami.

They waited for the king to awaken, intending to take revenge on the Shinigami of the Gotei 13 directly from beneath the Seireitei.

As a result, before they could accomplish their goal, their whereabouts were discovered by the god of death.

The God of Death's methods were decisive and cruel. He used terrifying means to directly destroy the lepton space.

He still remembers the feeling of being powerless when death was approaching.

If it weren't for the fact that His Majesty the Emperor was extremely powerful and absorbed all of their souls, and then resurrected them after waking up, their existence would probably have really perished.

It is also because I have personally experienced the feeling of death.

They hated Death even more.

After His Majesty the Emperor announced the Eastern Expedition, he wished he could rush directly to the front of those gods of death and kill them all to avenge the murder he suffered a hundred years ago.

However, His Majesty the Emperor did not do so. Instead, he sent them as an advance team to the desert-covered and extremely dark Hueco Mundo, allowing them to conquer Hueco Mundo first.

"The palace that we spent nearly a thousand years to build has been destroyed. We no longer have a foothold in this eastern world. Now that we have returned, we naturally have to occupy a part of the world as our base camp."

Gusts of wind and sand.

The Quincies who marched far from the Western world to the East finally encountered Hollows in the Hueco Mundo.

Facing the void that appeared before them.

They also had no intention of conquering it and using it for their own benefit.

Originally, they disliked the world of Hueco Mundo. If their former base had not been destroyed by the God of Death, they would not have chosen such a world as their base.

Hollows, creatures covered with a foul odor, have never been favored by Quincies, especially the power of Hollows. If the power of Hollows accidentally invades their bodies, it will make their blood become filthy, as if it were poisonous. If they are short of manpower, they don't mind enslaving some Hollows and letting them fight with the Grim Reaper.

But it's different now.

They returned to the Western world and developed in the Western world for a hundred years.

During this hundred years, they took over the western end of the Western world.

Although the forces over there are not as strong as the Gotei 13, they still have a lot more soldiers. In addition, the Emperor personally took action and converted a lot of new Quincies. Naturally, they would not look down on the Hollows anymore.

Just as the Quincy and the Hollows were fighting.

In the Hueco Mundo, many of the devices that had been deployed by the Gotei 13 in recent years began to hum.

In the Sixth Division's base in Hueco Mundo, some Shinigami discovered the abnormality of Hueco Mundo for the first time.

Then a warning was issued.

After receiving the notice, the captain of the 6th Division, Byakuya Kuchiki, came here as soon as possible.

After seeing the warning on the instrument clearly, his expression changed slightly and he immediately gave orders to his subordinates.

"Contact Soul Society!"

And deep down, in his heart, he thought of a race.

"Quincy!" (End of this chapter)
