Chapter 281 Heading to the Spirit King Palace, the final battle!

"We need to enter the Spirit King's Palace!"

Everyone gathered together, and finally Urahara Kisuke spoke first, telling them what they needed to do right now.

"!!!"

After these words were spoken, many captains looked solemn.

Be it the Soul King Palace or Squad Zero, to most of them, both are extremely mysterious.

Some of them only found out today that the Soul King Palace is hidden in the sky above Seireitei.

But it shouldn't be that easy to get in there.

Otherwise, Aizen would not have thought of the Creation King Key at that time.

And Yhwach also made many efforts to enter the Soul King Palace.

"Is the Soul King Palace such an easy place to enter?" Someone immediately raised a question after Urahara Kisuke said this.

"Under normal circumstances, of course, it is impossible to enter, but now it is different." Urahara Kisuke did not answer the other party's question. Xia Mu spoke up on the side, "Kisuke found that the spiritual veins under Karakura Town, which is a major spiritual place, have disappeared. Combined with the previous incident of Yhwach leading his subordinates to enter the Soul King Palace, I am afraid that he used the spiritual veins under Karakura Town to create something similar to the King Key to enter the Soul King Palace."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Ichigo, Kurosaki Isshin, Chataro Yasutora, Ishida Uryu and others suddenly changed.

They are all from Karakura Town.

They had no idea that something had happened in the city where they lived.

"How's Karakura Town?"

Ichigo asked quickly.

In the past, Aizen had taken action in Karakura Town in order to create the King Key. Even though they fought against Aizen in the first place and stopped his evil deeds, the damage to the city was still extremely serious. It was also during that incident that Ichigo learned the basic conditions for the King Key.

In order to create Wang Jian, the entire Karakura Town must be sacrificed.

"There's nothing wrong with Karakura Town." Natsuki said to Ichigo, "Yhwach is different from Aizen. Although he had people seize the spiritual veins under Karakura Town, he did not harm the humans in Karakura Town."

"Of course, this doesn't mean that Youhabach is merciful. After all, this world is about to be destroyed because of Youhabach. If he can't be stopped, the humans in Karakura Town will still die."

Ichigo frowned, feeling a little heavy.

After chatting with Ichigo for a few words, Xia Mu continued: "In addition to this, the previous rushing water spilled from the sky, which also confirmed one thing."

"That means the seventy-two layers of barriers between the Soul Society and the Soul King Palace have disappeared. Although the Soul King Palace is still suspended in the sky, as long as these barriers are gone, we can reach the Soul King Palace."

After Xia Mu finished speaking, everyone knew the current situation.

So, they stopped trying to say stupid things, like the Spirit King Palace was not an easy place to enter, and instead asked how to enter it.

Xia Mu didn't say anything.

He has said enough and has stolen a lot of Urahara Kisuke's limelight. Now, it's Urahara Kisuke's turn to perform.

Urahara Kisuke also gave the answer.

"Build a special portal that can take us directly to the Spirit King's Palace!"

"The Soul King Palace is located above the Soul Society. In the past, due to the 72-layer barrier, no method could enter it except by borrowing the King Key. But now it is different. After these barriers disappeared, the space where it is located has been integrated into the Soul Society. All we need to do is build a portal and we will be able to enter!"

He talked a lot more.

Afterwards, he took the initiative to find the people of the Shiba family and asked them for help.

Although Urahara Kisuke knows many secrets of this world, when it comes to understanding Squad Zero, the Shiba family knows the most in the entire Soul Society.

Among the former noble families, the Shiba family was the family that had the closest connection with Squad Zero. After the members of Squad Zero came to Soul Society, they had to rely on the help of the Shiba family to return. The Shiba family's cannons could accurately send them back to the Soul King Palace.

It is precisely because of this that the Shiba family is well aware of the height of the Soul King Palace.

What Urahara Kisuke needed to determine was the exact height of the Soul King Palace so that he could create a special space portal and accurately transfer everyone to the Soul King Palace.

Due to time constraints, after talking to everyone, Urahara Kisuke immediately returned to the office, gathered his subordinates including Kurotsuchi Mayuri, and quickly began researching the matter.

The results of the research were immediate.

It didn't take long for him to come up with a specific plan.

This is because, during this process, he thought of some of the sacred artifacts of the Shifengyuan family.

The Shihouin family is a God-given military unit that possesses many magical weapons with different abilities.

One of the artifacts can help them open a space portal.

However, this requires extremely powerful spiritual pressure to activate it.

If it were any other time, with enough time, Urahara Kisuke could certainly come up with a strategy to teleport without consuming huge spiritual pressure, but it was different now. Because of the urgency of the situation, he could only use the Shihouin family's sacred weapon.

"In other words, we just need to inject spiritual pressure into this rope."

After Urahara Kisuke finished explaining the specific plan.

Someone grinned.

"Don't worry, leave this matter to us."

Soon, the captains grasped the ropes one after another, injected spiritual pressure into them, and opened the door.

Xia Mu stepped forward and prepared to hold a rope.

At this moment, a voice came from beside him.

"You don't need to, let me do it!"

Hearing this, all the captains turned their heads and looked at the person who spoke.

It was Captain Yamamoto.

During the fight with Yhwach, he suffered serious injuries and his arm was damaged. Now, he relied on the help of Orihime Inoue to recover his damaged arm.

This battle seemed to have caused some changes in the captain's mood.

He stepped forward and grabbed the rope that Xia Mu was originally holding.

"Leave the supply of spiritual pressure to me."

"All you need to do is preserve your strength as much as possible, and then defeat Yhwach!"

Captain Yamamoto's eyes swept over Natsuki and the other captains.

"Old man, aren't you planning on heading to the Spirit King's Palace?"

Kyoraku Shunsui heard the determination in the captain's words and asked curiously.

"Many years ago, I made a promise to protect Soul Society and Soul Society, and matters concerning the Soul King are the responsibility of Squad Zero..." Captain-General Yamamoto said in a deep voice, recounting some past events. Of course, the promise made in the past was not the main reason for him to give up going to the Soul King Palace.

After all, Yamamoto has changed now.

What really made Yamamoto give up going to the Soul King Palace was that he felt that even if he went there, he wouldn't be able to do much.

The battle with Youhabach made him realize that he was indeed old.

Thousands of years ago, he was at his peak and was able to defeat Yhwach.

Now, a thousand years have passed, and facing the resurrected Yhwach, even though he wanted to kill Yhwach, after that battle, he realized that he was powerless.

The power hidden by Youhabach is definitely stronger than he imagined. If it weren't stronger, Squad Zero wouldn't have been defeated, and the Soul King wouldn't have gotten into trouble.

Kyoraku Shunsui seemed to want to say something but ultimately did not open his mouth.

As the captain grasped the rope and injected spiritual pressure into it, the portal quickly took shape in an instant.

Watching the door gradually taking shape.

Except for some captains who have not recovered from their injuries and those who think they can't help.

The rest of the captain-level combat forces all gathered together with solemn expressions.

"Let's go!"

Xia Mu spoke, and everyone followed.

After Captain Yamamoto said that they could not go to the Soul King Palace, although there were still some captains with more experience, Xia Mu had become the leader of everyone.

Walking through this door, a strange feeling came over me.

Afterwards, everyone's eyes lit up and they found themselves in another world.

After stepping in here, the first thing everyone felt was an extremely heavy pressure.

"Such a strong pressure. Although I have heard of this place, this is my first time here."

Ukitake Jushiro couldn't help but speak.

Because of Xia Mu, he finally gave up on solving the Hexagram of the Gods and becoming the incarnation of the Spirit King. Instead, he came to the Spirit King Palace in perfect condition to participate in this final battle. Of course, if the situation was not good, he would continue to solve the Hexagram of the Gods and transform himself into the Spirit King to maintain the stability of the Three Realms.

"This place is filled with super spiritual power. Even if a deputy captain-level death god comes here, he will be unable to breathe for a short time. Of course, for people like us, this little pressure is nothing."

Xia Mu explained to everyone.

Everyone immediately looked at Xia Mu in confusion.

If we say that Natsuki and Urahara Kisuke know many secrets, we can barely say that they are knowledgeable.

It is really intriguing that Xia Mu even knew what was happening in the Lingwang Palace.

"Don't look at me like that."

Xia Mu smiled and said, "I know the situation here because I have been here before. Ichigo's new sword was forged here. And I was able to come here thanks to the Shiba family who helped me contact the Zero Squad."

Everyone's eyes turned to Shiba Kaien and Ichigo again.

After getting the correct answer from Shiba Kaiyan and Ichigo.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

Captain Xia Mu is really good at hiding. Even Squad Zero has been here.

Xia Mu didn't explain too much, but looked at the environment in front of him, "Compared to the past, it seems that there is no change."

People didn't understand what this sentence meant.

In the original work, after Yhwach devoured the Soul King, the first thing he did was to transform the Soul King Palace and turn it into a real world city. But now, I don’t know if it’s because there are no Invisible Empire buildings in the shadow of Seireitei anymore, so even after devouring the Soul King, Yhwach did not transform the Soul King Palace.

However, this detail is not important.

The most important thing is to have the final battle with Yhwach.

"Inside the Soul King Palace, besides the Soul King's Great Inner Palace where the Soul King resides, there are also several Lingbanli Palaces. These buildings are all suspended in the sky. To reach these buildings, we need to take a vehicle called the Soul King Omotesando, which are the self-moving streets in front..."

As someone who had been to the Soul King Palace before and knew it better than Ichigo, Natsuki naturally acted as a guide and introduced the layout of the Soul King Palace to everyone.

If it weren't for the wrong timing, the group's arrival here would have been like a trip.

Just as everyone was walking in the Soul King Palace and wanted to go to the Soul King Dainui through the Soul King Omote-sando.

On the square outside the Lingwang Palace.

A strange light flashed in Haschwald's eyes.

After exchanging abilities with His Majesty, he no longer has the ability to reconcile the world, but instead possesses the power of omniscience and omnipotence.

It’s just because his own power is not as strong as His Majesty the Emperor. Even if he possesses omniscience and omnipotence, he is not as powerful as His Majesty the Emperor.

But even so, this power still allows him to see through many things.

"Have you also come to the Soul King Palace?"

He "saw" the captains coming to the Spirit King Palace, but he was not panicked at all.

"Unfortunately, you have arrived a little too late. Squad Zero has been defeated, and His Majesty has devoured the Soul King. The reason why this world has not yet been destroyed is that His Majesty needs some time to digest that power. When His Majesty has completely digested that power, both you and this world will finally come to an end."

As his thoughts flashed, Hasward's voice was heard and fell into certain areas of the Soul King Palace.

"Stop these Death Gods!"

After hearing Haswood's voice, the four members of the Divine Pardon Guard suddenly became focused, and a strong fighting spirit emanated from them.

At the same time, Hasward slowly raised his hand.

With the help of the omniscience and omnipotence obtained from His Majesty the Emperor, Hasward brought the ability of "Holy Slave" to the extreme. In an instant, the original Soul King Palace began to collapse.

The Soul King Palace was built with the power of the Soul King. Under normal circumstances, it would be extremely solid. But now it is different from before. The Soul King has been devoured by Yhwach. Although because of the previous arrangements made by the Zero Squad and because these Zero Squad Palaces are still there, the Three Realms were not directly destroyed.

However, Haschwalth, thanks to his close connection with Yhwach, was able to change the structure of the Soul King Palace.

On the streets of Lingwang Palace, Xia Mu led everyone forward, preparing to head towards the Lingwang Palace.

Suddenly, the ground shook.

Boom! !

They were not unfamiliar with this kind of thing, mainly because it had happened several times before in Soul Society.

But the fact that something similar happened again has still aroused everyone's vigilance.

You know, this is the Palace of the Spirit King, which is located above the sky. Why would such a thing happen in the sky?

Is it possible that the Spirit King's Palace is going to crash?
Just when everyone's thoughts were flashing.

The fluctuation of space came, and when everyone came to their senses, they were shocked to find that they had appeared in an unfamiliar place, and the buildings of the Spirit King Palace, which they had gradually become familiar with, had also changed.

The current buildings are completely different from the previous Spirit King Palace in style. The current architectural style is closer to the ancient castles in Europe. The magnificent castles have replaced the original somewhat simple Spirit King Palace.

Xia Mu and others were scattered throughout the Spirit King Palace and had to adapt to the completely new environment.

But soon, they focused their attention.

Just because the enemy appeared in front of them.

There are four enemies, but compared to the numerous enemies in Soul Society before, their number is not large.

But it was these four people who defeated the remaining four members of the Zero Squad except for the leader, Hyoushubu Ichibei.

The four of them also have another name, called "God's Pardon Guards", and are subordinates that Youhabach values ​​very much.

Although there are only four of them, their fighting power is enough to match that of dozens of ordinary Stern Cross Knights Quincy. (End of this chapter)
