Chapter 94 How to break the boundaries?
Squadron 11.
In the captain's room.
Natsuki has returned from Hueco Mundo, and Asido and Watanabe Yuji have also quickly integrated into the 11th Division.
They are all considered old men from the Kuriyashiki period.
Fortunately, although the 11th Division has changed several Kenpachis, and even directly from the seventh Kenpachi Kuriyashiki to the current 11th Kenpachi Natsuki, not many years have actually passed, and there are still many old people from the Kuriyashiki era in the division.
The return of Yuji Watanabe and Asido is naturally very welcome.
To this end, a grand cocktail party was held within the squad.
Xia Mu also participated in the cocktail party. After the party, he did not rush to practice, but reviewed and thought about what happened in the Hueco Mundo.
Although there are still many things that need to be cleaned up.
For example, it involves Tsunayashiro Tokinada, and how to resettle those members of the expeditionary force who have not yet redeemed their crimes, but these matters have nothing to do with Natsuki, and will be handled by Yoruichi, Kuchiki Ginrei and others.
The title of Kenpachi is so special among the captains of the Gotei 13 that he certainly enjoys some privileges.
In the original work, Kenpachi Kiyomizu often used his privileges to ignore some orders from the Central Forty-Sixth Chamber and refused to attend captain meetings.
Xia Mu rarely uses his privileges.
But he also didn't want to get involved in the subsequent finishing touches.
So, even if he no longer participated in those things, no one would ask him about it.
In front of the desk, Xia Mu was holding a pen and writing and drawing on the paper in front of him.
If you look closely, you can see the names "Tsunayashiro Tokinada", "Bailagan" and "Saar Apollo" on it.
In the end, the paper was destroyed by Xia Mu again.
In fact, not a lot happened during this trip to Hueco Mundo, and the process was not too tortuous, and it was even somewhat smooth.
To put it simply, he went to Hueco Mundo, saved Watanabe Yuji and the others, learned that there was a problem with the Great Hollow Forest, went to the Great Hollow Forest, unexpectedly encountered Tsunayashiro Tokinada, and then waited for reinforcements, went to Kuroyaburo, and killed Tsunayashiro Tokinada.
The death of Tsunayashiro Tokinada was a disguised form of revenge for the poor man Tosen-no-kai.
But during the trip to Hueco Mundo, there were still some things that bothered Natsuki.
I'm too lazy to think about the exact working principle of Yanluo Jingdian's Zanpakuto.
After all, in the world of Bleach, there are quite a few outrageous Zanpakuto.
Natsuki's own Bankai is actually a very powerful one.
Even though it would consume a huge amount of spiritual power, it was ultimately because his spiritual power was not strong enough. As long as it could be strengthened again, these would not be a problem.
What Natsuki cared about the most was the crystal clear thing that Tsunayashiro Tokinada took out to evolve Bylergan.
In the original work, Arrancar was indeed born in Hueco Mundo before Aizen came to Hueco Mundo.
For example, the First Blade Stark is an autonomous Arrancar.
The fourth blade, Ulquiorra, is also an autonomous Half-Arrancar.
But more Hollows were created by Aizen using the Hogyoku. With the help of the powerful force of the Hogyoku, the Hollows were able to directly break through their original boundaries and become Hollows.
Is the thing that caused Bylergon to evolve a substance similar to Collapsing Jade?
Xia Mu couldn't help but think about it.
As he thought about it, he took out his Zanpakutō again, looked at the sword which was in a shallow striking state, and fell into deep thought.
His Zanpakutō can absorb spirit particles in the air and passively enhance his spiritual power.
Even if he doesn't need to be in an environment with particularly rich spiritual particles, his spiritual power will naturally increase as time goes by.
After killing Bylergan and Tsunayashiro Tokinada, he relied on the excitement brought by his Zanpakutō to stab the crystal object. Under Yoruichi's gaze, the thing was indeed destroyed.
But Xia Mu knew that the thing was absorbed by his sword.
"What on earth is that?"
In the past, when his Zanpakutō absorbed spirit particles, they would benefit him in return.
But this time, he didn't feel anything.
This made him think deeply, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad that the knife absorbed that thing.
It should be a good thing.
After all, it is something that can allow a Hollow of the Vasthold level like Bylergan to evolve and become an Arrancar.
……
In the fifth squad.
Vice-captain Aizen also has a busy life.
After returning from Hueco Mundo, he threw himself into the work of the squad and handled the team affairs seriously.
"Really? Stop being so diligent, Sosuke. You're making me, the captain, look like an incompetent person."
Mako Hirako, the captain of the 5th Division, who had long yellow hair and bangs in the front, complained to Aizen.
"I am the vice-captain, and I have the obligation to assist you, the captain, in handling the affairs of the squad. Moreover, I have been away from the squad for such a long time this time. Only by quickly getting back to work can I make up for the lost time."
Aizen wore black-framed glasses and had a gentle smile on his lips. No matter how you looked at him, he was an extremely kind person.
"You talk as if you were on vacation, even though you went to a place like Hueco Mundo to carry out a dangerous mission. When you come back, even if you ask me for vacation, I will agree." Hirako Mako said to Aizen.
Then, he turned to Aizen and asked, "However, I am still very curious, why did you volunteer and choose to go to Hueco Mundo with Captain Kyoraku and the others?"
Aizen said: "I just feel that the expeditionary force suffered heavy losses in Hueco Mundo, and rescuing them is the responsibility of our Fifth Division. These things are done by other divisions, making it seem as if our Fifth Division is just a decoration."
"Is that so?" Makoto Hirako glanced at Aizen and didn't say much.
This reason convinced him.
But in his heart, Hirako Mako obviously had other ideas, because he always felt that Aizen was not that simple.
When the captain of the 5th Division died in battle, he, as the vice-captain, passed the captain's assessment and became the new captain of the 5th Division. The position of vice-captain became vacant. After observing for a long time, Aizen caught his eye.
As a member who has not been in the 5th Division for a particularly long time.
Aizen is undoubtedly a very young one.
But he had extraordinary talent. Not long after joining the squad, he became a chief officer and later ranked among the top chief officers.
He is kind to everyone, and always smiles and is gentle no matter who he is facing.
However, for some reason, Mako Hirako always has a feeling when facing Aizen.
That is, there are no such good people in this world.
This may be his prejudice against this world.
But in order to be able to see Aizen more clearly.
Plus, Aizen does have enough abilities.
He finally chose to make Aizen the vice-captain.
It has to be said that after Aizen became the vice-captain, he felt a lot of pressure relieved. However, the more this happened, the more the instinctive vigilance in Hirako Mako's heart became stronger.
Of course he knew that this shouldn't happen.
So, sometimes, he doesn't mind recommending Aizen to do something.
When Ru Gang heard that the expeditionary force was attacked, he also thought of the responsibilities of the 5th Division and decided to let Aizen, Natsuki and others go to the Hueco Mundo to rescue.
But Xia Mu refused.
Unohana Retsu also gave corresponding reasons.
This matter will be settled.
Unexpectedly, after Natsuki and others reported the situation in the Hueco Mundo, the captain-general convened another captains' meeting. After Aizen learned the content of this meeting, he volunteered to participate in it.
After thinking about it, Mako Hirako agreed to Aizen's request.
After all, there are so many captains there, even if Aizen really has a problem, there is nothing he can do.
This time, after Aizen returned, Hirako Mako stared at Aizen for a while, but found nothing.
This made him feel boring.
"Since you think so, Sosuke, I will leave these team affairs to you."
As he said this, Mako Hirako ran away.
Aizen watched Makoto Hirako leave without saying anything.
But in my heart, I thought about what happened in Xuye Palace.
He didn't do much during this trip to Hueco Mundo. Although if he wanted to, he could use the mirror flower and water moon to mislead several captains around him and do something, Aizen didn't do so.
But what concerned him the most was the Hollow that he encountered with Unohana Retsu.
The mask was broken, revealing an incredibly powerful force.
Although in the end, it seemed that because he had used his power to the extreme, he could not control that power and his body collapsed on its own.
But that power still caught Aizen's eyes.
"According to the records of Soul Society, once the mask of a Hollow is broken, it will die. However, that Hollow not only did not die, but became even more powerful."
"This in the end is why?"
"Or has it broken its original...boundaries?"
"If there is a way for the Void to break the boundary, can the God of Death also do so?"
Aizen thought about it seriously.
……
Noble Street.
The Tsunayashiro family, which is separated from the Kuchiki family by a long street, once again welcomed the visit of Kuchiki Ginrei.
"Please take back these two swords."
He said to Tsunayashiro Tokio, the head of the Tsunayashiro family.
Because of the incident with Tsunayashiro Tokinada, many high-ranking members of the Tsunayashiro family died. Tsunayashiro Tokio, the head of the family, was also attacked and had one arm broken. He was wearing aristocratic clothes, but the sleeve on his right arm looked empty.
But after so much time had passed, he gradually recovered, accepted the reality, and became the extremely proud person he used to be.
"I thought you would take Tsunayashiro Tokinada's sword away. After all, he is a member of your Sixth Division."
Tsunayashiro Tokisei said coldly to Kuchiki Ginrei in front of him.
"Captain Natsuki told me one thing, that is, Tsunayashiro Tokinada claimed that he was not a Shinigami." Kuchiki Ginrei also said in a cold voice, "Since he is not a Shinigami, there is no need to take his sword back to the squad. This is an insult to the other Shinigami who died in battle or retired."
Xiumu Yinling seems to be very principled on this point.
Tsunayashiro Tokisei didn't say much either.
He just used his only remaining arm to take the two knives handed over by the other party, and then said goodbye to Xiumu Yinling.
After Kuchiki Ginrei left, he was the only one left in the huge living room of the Tsunayashiro family.
He ignored Tsunayashiro Tokinada's knife and looked at Yanra Kagandori.
"Ancestor, since you are already dead, why do you still leave behind such a knife?"
He whispered to himself, with deep doubt in his words.
