Chapter 9: Final Entry into Soul Society

After coming to this world after death.

Xia Mu experienced a series of coincidences.

He was first attacked by a Hollow, and then saved by a Shinigami who went on an expedition to the Hueco Mundo.

After the death of the God of Death, in order to deal with the crisis, he could only pick up the Zanpakutō left by the God of Death and swung the sword instinctively.

When he wields his Zanpakutō, he is no longer an ordinary soul, but a god of death.

Afterwards, he was lucky enough to meet the rest of the expeditionary force who were rushing there. Under the guidance of Watanabe Yuji, he learned many basic abilities of the Shinigami. Now, he can easily kill a Gillian-level Hollow with just a shallow strike. With such strength, he can't even dream of becoming the captain or vice-captain in the Gotei 13, but he is more than qualified to be the chief officer.

However, there is still one biggest problem with Xia Mu.

His identity as the God of Death is limited to the expeditionary force.

Natsuki's name was not on the Gotei 13's record of all the Shinigami, so he needed to be registered.

Natsuki is not Ichigo Kurosaki in the original work. Because Ichigo Kurosaki is a human being, although he obtained the power of a Shinigami by chance, he has no interest in joining the Gotei 13 and becoming a truly registered Shinigami. On the contrary, the Gotei 13 at that time needed to rely on Ichigo Kurosaki's power due to many crises, so they took the initiative to give Ichigo Kurosaki the identity of a proxy Shinigami.

Xia Mu is not a human being, but a dead person.

After coming to the world of souls, especially since this world is so dangerous, becoming the real god of death is his only choice.

According to Watanabe Yuji, although cases like Natsuki's are rare, they do exist. All you have to do is return to Soul Society, explain the specific situation, fill out an application form, and register.

As for the squad, Xia Mu had no choice.

There is only one squadron to choose from, the 11th squadron.

There's nothing he can do about it. After all, he's not a professional and didn't graduate from the Shinō Spiritual Arts Academy.

If he was a graduate of the Shinō Academy of Spiritual Arts, and his grades were excellent upon graduation, he could receive invitations from multiple squadrons.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that the Death God who comes from a self-taught background can only choose the 11th Division.

The main reason is that Watanabe Yuji is the Grim Reaper of the 11th Division.

Apart from the Shinigami who joined the expeditionary force out of atonement, the Shinigami who took the initiative to choose to expedition to Hueco Mundo were basically the Shinigami of the 11th Division. The 11th Division was a combat team, and whenever a Hollow appeared, they were always the first to rush forward.

This was the case when fighting against the Hollows in Soul Society, and it was also the case when it was necessary to expedition to the Hueco Mundo.

Both Watanabe Yuji and Asido are very decisive people.

Soon, Asido took over the leadership of the expeditionary force.

Watanabe Yuji brought some Shinigami and Natsuki to the location of the black chamber that Asido and others had opened earlier, and contacted the Soul Society with the help of a special device held by the expeditionary force.

In Soul Society, the Black Chamber has been reopened.

A hole suddenly appeared in the void, and then the hole opened like a mouth, extending to both sides, and a dark passage appeared in front of Xia Mu.

Watanabe Yuji led the way in front, and Natsuki and several Shinigami stepped in.

After entering the black cavity, Watanabe Yuji also gave some special instructions to Xia Mu.

"The passage from Hueco Mundo to Soul Society is different from the passage from the real world to Soul Society. The passage in the real world is a very stable passage because of the renovations over the years, but Hueco Mundo is different. Under normal circumstances, the gods of death rarely come to Hueco Mundo. Therefore, in the Black Chamber, we need to use our own spiritual power to build a road under our feet, and let the road built by spiritual power carry us forward..."

The rest of the Shinigami were not walking through the Broken World for the first time, so Watanabe Yuji didn't say much to them, except for Natsuki, who was coming to the Broken World for the first time, so he taught Natsuki a lot. Thanks to his strong control over spiritual power, Natsuki easily mastered this little trick after knowing the principle.

Soul Society and Hueco Mundo are very far apart.

After all, they are two completely different worlds.

However, even if you spend a lot of time in the broken world, there is no need to worry too much.

The speed of time in the Broken World is extremely fast, a thousand times faster than that in the outside world. A thousand years in the Broken World is only one year in reality.

Logically speaking, this special world is actually very suitable for cultivation.

In the beginning, the Grim Reaper also did this.

But later it was discovered that in the Broken World, unless some special training was carried out, it would be difficult to improve strength through normal practice, because there were no spirit particles here, or in other words, even if there were spirit particles, they were difficult to support the practice of the God of Death.

In the final analysis, it is a special world made up of the remains of some broken worlds, and is located as a buffer zone between the Hueco Mundo, the real world, and the Soul Society.

In addition, there are dangers within the broken world.

There are Jutu and Juliu here. Every once in a while, Jutu will destroy all foreign matter within the broken world. It is an absolute scavenger.

Because the journey was very monotonous and boring, Watanabe Yuji said a lot to Natsuki.

Natsuki is really grateful to Watanabe Yuji.

Even after he remembered what kind of world this was, he had some understanding of this world itself, but firstly, his memory was very old, and secondly, he only knew the outline of this world. Without Watanabe Yuji's teaching, it would have been difficult for him to integrate into this world so quickly.

Dazzling light flooded into my eyes.

A completely different feeling came over him, and Natsuki knew that he and his companions had left Dangai and arrived in Soul Society.

The reason why he was so sure was because he could sense the spirit particles filling the air around him.

However, in terms of concentration, the concentration of spirit particles here is still not as good as that in Hueco Mundo.

After staying in Hueco Mundo for a long time, Xia Mu was still a little uncomfortable when he suddenly came to such an environment.

"Come on, I'll take you to Seireitei."

Watanabe Yuji said to Natsuki and the other Shinigami.

"So, isn't this the Soul Society?" Xia Mu asked doubtfully.

"Of course not." Watanabe Yuji explained, "The passage to the human world can be opened in the Soul Society because it is relatively stable, but Hueco Mundo is different. In order to prevent Hollows from taking the opportunity to invade the Soul Society from the Black Chamber, all passages related to the Hueco Mundo are opened outside the Soul Society."

So Xia Mu continued on his journey.

After Watanabe Yuji revealed his identity, they easily entered the Soul Society through the White Gate.

Afterwards, Watanabe Yuji led them towards the direction of the 11th Division.

Not long after, Natsuki met the strongest Kenpachi mentioned by Watanabe Yuji and Asido, Kenpachi Kuriyashiki.
