Chapter 34: The butcher knife wielded against the Quincy!

The Quincy are an extremely ancient race.

Ancient enough to be compared to the god of death.

If Shinigami and Hollows are different forms of the soul, then Quincy are the outliers among humans. They live in the world of instruments which is completely different from the world of spirits, but they possess a powerful force that can contend with Shinigami and Hollows.

Although they are humans from the world of instruments, their bodies are not made up of spirit particles, and there is no such thing as spiritual power in their bodies, but they possess the more mysterious power of the Quincy hidden in their blood.

With the help of this power, they can manipulate the spirit particles around them, making them gather and disperse according to their own ideas, turning them into various weapons that they can control.

Because of this unique ability.

Any Hollow killed by a Quincy will no longer have even its spirit particles left and will be completely annihilated between heaven and earth.

Nearly eight hundred years ago.

That was the most glorious period of the Quincies. During that period, all the powerful Quincies in the world, under the leadership of their "King", invaded Soul Society on a large scale.

To fight against the Quincy.

Under the leadership of the five great nobles, Soul Society also began to gather its forces.

The Gotei 13 were established in the name of protecting the Soul Society.

The first generation of the Gotei 13 was a killing corps that annihilated all emotions. All of its members were cannon fodder that could be sacrificed in the war. In order to defeat the Quincy, they would use any means necessary.

Since the Gotei 13 still exist, there is no doubt that Soul Society won that war.

It was also after the war that the Quincy suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining small number of survivors escaped back to the real world.

Since they could no longer amount to anything, Soul Society didn't pay too much attention to them.

I never thought that after nearly eight hundred years of reproduction and development.

Soul Society has once again set its sights on the Quincy.

This time, the Gotei 13 are preparing to take action against the Quincies, not because of hatred between races, but... balance.

Eight hundred years ago, after defeating the Quincy, the Gotei 13's style of action gradually became gentler over the years. From simply guarding the Soul Society and the nobles at the beginning, their functions extended to guarding the balance of the entire soul world under the guidance of the Soul King's will. To this end, they actively fight against the Hollows and lead the souls of those who died in the real world to the Soul Society.

But despite the efforts of the God of Death, there is always a group of aliens who seem out of tune with the God of Death.

That was the Quincy who had been hiding in the human world and thriving for nearly eight hundred years.

The Quincy are a race that values ​​bloodline very much. The power of purebloods is far superior to that of half-bloods, so if they want to keep their bloodline going, they can only intermarry with pure-blood families. It seems that because there were too many Quincy killed or injured in the war eight hundred years ago, it is basically impossible for the remaining Quincy to reproduce and grow again. Eight hundred years have passed, and the number of Quincy has indeed increased a lot compared to the post-war period, but the vast majority of them are half-blood Quincy. Pure-blood Quincy are very few and far between. In fact, there are even fewer pure-blood families left now than there were eight hundred years ago.

But even if he is a mixed-blood, he still possesses the ability to manipulate spirit particles.

For the sake of power and wealth, they attached themselves to the current shogun and actively fought against all kinds of evil spirits for the shogun. If they were just fighting against evil spirits, there would be nothing wrong, but in recent years, they have been killing too much.

This caught the attention of Soul Society.

When Natsuki was still in Hueco Mundo, he actually noticed some changes. The number of Hollows that appeared in the outer circle of Hueco Mundo increased, and large Hollows appeared from time to time.

Later, Ashido came to reinforce the Hueco Mundo and was informed that a large Hollow of the level of Vastod had appeared in Soul Society.

After Natsuki returned to Soul Society and became a member of the 11th Division, he experienced this change firsthand.

Basically, a Hollow appears in Soul Society every one or two days, and large Hollows appear even more occasionally.

This situation is not unique.

According to the records of Soul Society, the Hollows of Hueco Mundo have entered their heyday again.

They are multiplying rapidly.

Usually this situation is actually related to the present world.

When the world falls into chaos, the death toll will surge. Because they were not very happy before their death, after death they will be controlled by various emotions left over from their lifetime, and then degenerate into nothingness.

Generally speaking, when this happens, Soul Society will actively send Shinigami to garrison in the real world, purify the souls that have not yet fallen into Hollows and lead them to Soul Society, and kill the Hollows that appear in the real world.

At the same time, in order to solve the problem once and for all, sending an expeditionary force is also a solution, which can directly reduce the number of Hollows in the Hueco Mundo and maintain the balance between souls through various means.

But just because the god of death can do something doesn’t mean others can do it too.

When the number of Hollows in the world increased sharply, and when the Quincy also began to join in the chaos and took action against the Hollows, this aroused the vigilance of the God of Death. Then, due to the impression left by the war eight hundred years ago, the God of Death already had opinions about the Quincy. After discovering what the Quincy had done, the Central 46th Room decided that the Quincy were not good things, and that there was no need for this race to continue to exist, and it would be better to destroy them.

The butcher's knife is now swung down!
No one cares whether the Quincy is wronged or aggrieved.

When the order from the Central 46th Chamber was issued, and then the First Division held a captain's meeting and conveyed it to the captains of the other divisions, the entire Gotei 13 began to operate.

As the deputy captain, Xia Mu certainly couldn't go to the real world to join the war at the first time. The first people who attacked the Quincy in the real world were some officers and ordinary soldiers. It seemed that it was because of the sense of crisis brought about by the impending genocide. In this situation, the power of the Quincy also exploded to the extreme. For a while, the Shinigami side suffered many casualties.

The Gotei 13 were immediately furious, and as a result, more powerful Shinigami were sent into the human world.

When Xia Mu, as the deputy captain of the 11th Division, led his team to the real world for reinforcement.

The war in the real world has actually been going on for some time.

Xia Mu also had his first contact with the Quincy.

There was no question of right or wrong, and no asking of the reasons; they just started fighting and it was over.

He held his Zanpakutō, performed Shunpo, and charged towards the Quincy.

However, the next moment, he found that his instant step was disturbed. Not only the instant step, but even when he was performing the ghost way, if he chanted slowly, it would also be disturbed.

"Is this the ability that only Quincy possesses, to manipulate spirit particles?"

Natsuki's eyes flickered, and he swung his Zanpakuto. Sword pressure emerged, destroying a spirit particle light arrow that was attacking him, and then he quickly rushed towards the Quincy in front of him.
