Youren did not ask Asido to protect Youmei. Everyone knew that in such a fierce battle, no one could guarantee to protect another person. Even if Youmei was a medical worker, she could only rely on herself at this time.
In the blink of an eye, Youren rushed to Ibuki and shouted to remind Ibuki that he was here, lest Ibuki get so angry that he accidentally hurt him. Then he stabbed Ibuki in the heart. The moment he pulled out the knife, all the wounds on Ibuki's body disappeared immediately.
Then, Youren slashed at a nearby Hollow with a knife, and the Hollow immediately fell to the ground with numerous wounds on its body, each of which was exactly the same as the wound on Ibuki, but the fatal wound was the one that pierced through the heart.
Ibuki was shocked and felt that the strength he had lost with the injury had returned. He gritted his teeth and smashed the empty head beside him with a stick.
After his Shikai, his Zanpakutō turned into a long black stick that became heavier as it was swung. At this point, its weight was enough to easily smash the hard skull of a Hollow.
"Hahaha, my strength is back! Thanks, Youren, I'm fine now, you can go back and support Asido! Just leave this to me!"
"Ashido asked me to support you! Don't worry, Youmei is in charge of the treatment up ahead, it'll be fine!"
Youren raised his voice and roared, and once again skillfully stabbed Ibuki's heart with a knife. After taking care of Ibuki's wound, he swung the knife at an attacking Hollow. Instantly, the Hollow's heart split in two and fell to the ground.
Ibuki cursed under his breath, but even at this critical moment, he couldn't help but complain loudly.
"Your crappy fighting style is really too much of a torture for your teammates! Don't you have any other uses for your Zanpakutō?"
"I can also stab myself, but turning the blade will easily reveal a flaw! Just bear with it. Asido didn't complain even after being stabbed hundreds of times by me!"
Ibuki couldn't help but curse a few more times, but he also knew that Youren was telling the truth. In such a high-intensity battle, turning the blade to stab himself and then turning the blade to chop the enemy was indeed not as convenient and safe as stabbing teammates. He could only endure the discomfort of a knife tip popping out of his chest every few seconds and continue fighting the enemy.
It has to be said that although Youren's fighting style is similar to the mentality of torturing his teammates, his fighting power is indeed not low. With his joining, the pressure on Ibuki dropped sharply, and he gradually got used to the feeling of being stabbed in the heart by Youren, and even enjoyed it a little.
After all, every time he was stabbed, one of his heads would fall down. In terms of visual effects, it was really cool.
Just as the situation in the rear was gradually improving, the formation in the front suddenly became a little chaotic.
As Youmei continued to heal her teammates and overdraw her spiritual power, her body began to spontaneously squeeze out every drop of available spiritual power. The "slightly spicy" dinner in her stomach began to be quickly digested and absorbed, converted into pure spiritual power to replenish her body.
Gradually, a faint, pungent smell that was barely perceptible to humans emanated from her body, and under the cover of the strong smell of blood, it penetrated into the weak noses around her.
All of a sudden, the already crazy group of Voids became even more violent, and began to desperately attack the middle of the team. The team's formation was almost directly broken up, and the Grim Reapers responsible for protecting the flanks all immediately suffered many wounds on their bodies.
Seeing this scene, all the Grim Reapers felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
It seems that Youren's guess was right. There was indeed someone secretly directing this group of Hollows. Seeing that they were about to break out of the encirclement, the mastermind became anxious, so he commanded the group of Hollows to launch a more fierce attack on them, and the target was directly aimed at Youmei, who was in charge of treatment in the center of the team.
The attacks of the Xu group on the middle section of the team became more and more frantic. Knowing that the enemy's target was his Youmei, he trembled unconsciously and hurriedly put on several layers of defensive bindings, but it still could not increase his sense of security even a little bit.
Yuto at the back of the team also noticed that something was wrong. He said something anxiously to Ibuki and tried to rush back to the middle of the team at full speed to provide support.
However, at this time, the crazy group of Hollows had surrounded the middle of the team, forming a tight encirclement, blocking Youren like a human wall. Even if Youren attacked desperately, it was difficult for him to rush back to Youmei. He could only anxiously shout Youmei's name and yell for Asido to protect Youmei.
As Youren was anxiously shouting and hacking, the encirclement of the Hollow group suddenly shrank inwards, and the screams of many Grim Reapers rang out at the same time, including a voice that was clearly a female's.
Immediately afterwards, there was the piercing sound of flesh being torn. No matter how loudly Youren shouted, there was no response from Youmei in the encirclement.
Bloodshot instantly filled Youren's eyes, and with a blood-soaked roar, he began to charge forward desperately.
At this time, Ibuki, who was supposed to be in charge of the rear guard of the team, rushed over, grabbed his arm, and pulled him out.
"Wake up! Keep rushing out! Only if you survive can you avenge them!"
"Revenge? Yes! I want revenge! I want to kill them all!"
As if awakened by Ibuki's roar, Youren's face was distorted with hatred. He took a deep look at the densely packed group of Hollows sharing the flesh and blood, wiped the tears flowing from the corners of his eyes, turned around and followed Ibuki's footsteps, continuing to advance outward.
"Ibuki, I will kill them all. I must kill them all. Even if I have to chase them into Hueco Mundo, I will kill them all!"
The whispers of hatred were carried into Ibuki's ears along with the sweet and fishy night breeze. Ibuki clenched his teeth, and his bloodshot eyes were also filled with hatred that penetrated deep into his bones.
"Well, I'll go with you. Even if we have to go deep into Hueco Mundo, we must kill them all."
You Ren stopped talking and continued to kill the group of virtual beings blocking his way, focusing on rushing out of the encirclement.
The legitimate reason to enter Hueco Mundo has been found.

Chapter 60: The goal is the sea of stars!
"Life in Hueco Mundo is so peaceful that it's a bit boring."
Gu Shi sighed and broke off a Killian's long nose. The scenery in the Great Void Forest was all the same, or rather, the only "scenery" in this broken place was the Killians, which were more numerous than weeds.
No matter where you go, wherever you look, you will see a sea of tall, dark figures swaying from side to side like idiots.
Next to him, Erlang was chewing on a ten-meter-long leg and tilted his head in confusion. He didn't understand what was there to be dissatisfied with in a life where he could eat and drink enough every day and have friends around him.
[As expected, if thoughts are too complicated, it will be difficult to achieve happiness? ]
Mocking himself secretly in his heart, Gu Shi shook his head to indicate that he was fine. Erlang nodded ignorantly, continued chewing his thigh meat, and began to help Tianpeng collect materials for alchemy.
Recently, several people have settled down temporarily, because according to Gu Shi's inference, Tianpeng's earth pit alchemy furnace method, the more times the alchemy is refined in the same earth pit, the more spiritual power will seep into the inner wall of the "alchemy furnace", the better the effect of blocking the escape of spiritual power, and the better the effect of alchemy will become.
Gu Shi and Erlang didn't have anywhere they had to go. It just so happened that the Killian groups nearby were densely distributed, and there was no shortage of food and alchemy materials, so the three of them simply stayed nearby.
Now, after many times of burning by high-pressure spiritual flames, the inner wall of Tianpeng's earth pit alchemy furnace has completely turned into beautiful integrated blue crystals. Even the bottom of the stone lid has been crystallized.
If there were no space magic tools like those in the novels about cultivating immortals, and if people could carry items only by carrying them on their shoulders or in their hands, Gu Shi would really want to persuade Tian Peng to dig out the "alchemy furnace" and take it away with him when he left in the future.
Nowadays, Tianpeng is busy refining elixirs every day and has a lot of fun, while Erlang is satisfied as long as there is someone to accompany him. The time he spends learning ancient poems and listening to stories every night makes him extremely happy.
Gu Shi found that he seemed to be the only one who was trapped in the confusion of doing nothing. The only thing he could do every day was to hunt and devour other Killians, accumulate spiritual power and accumulate foundation for the evolution of Yachukas. Apart from that, there was nothing else to do. Even the time when he taught elementary school math problems to bats seemed to have become worth remembering.
[This is a very dangerous signal], Gu Shi made a judgment in his heart.
Whether it is a Hollow or a God of Death, theoretically there is no limit to the lifespan. As long as you can keep replenishing your spiritual energy, you can always maintain yourself in peak condition.
Although Shan Lao Tou, the thousand-year-old god of death, has an old face, in Gu Shi's opinion, his aging is just the result of his active choice as the captain in order to highlight his majesty.
Captain Unohana Retsu, who is of the same generation as this old man, doesn't show any signs of aging.
If he can successfully become stronger and not be killed halfway, then it can be predicted that Gu Shi can live for at least another thousand years.
For the descendants of Yan and Huang, it is no exaggeration to say that the desire for "immortality" is deeply rooted in their blood and culture. Gu Shi is no exception. He is looking forward to living for a long time and watching the changes in the world and the replacement of dynasties.
but!
If you get bored with life early on and spend thousands of years in aimlessness, wouldn't that be too much torture?
[You must find a goal for yourself. Even if it can't span a thousand years, at least a goal that will keep you motivated within a hundred years! ]
Gu Shi was gnawing on the freshly killed Daxu and began to wonder if there was anything worth his hundred-year pursuit.
【math?】
[Forget about that. Bats can enjoy studying mathematics, but I can’t. I don’t understand the fun of mathematics at all.]
[Be a witness, make full use of your long life, rush to the scene as soon as possible whenever a major historical event occurs, and witness the turning point of history with your own eyes? ]
[This seems to be good and can give people a sense of accomplishment, but I am not very good at history and can't remember the specific times of those major historical events. ]
[It is said that music is the most beautiful language. How about learning music? ]
[This is a good idea. As time goes by, new forms of music will always be created by people. If you cultivate your interest in music, there will be a lot of new things to learn every hundred years, and you probably won't be bored for a long time.]
【Well, let’s put music on the list of candidates. 】
[Apart from this, is there anything else? ]
Looking up at the dark dome of the Great Void Forest, Gu Shi suddenly shuddered. The word "universe" suddenly popped into his mind. For a moment, a refreshing feeling called "sudden enlightenment" made Gu Shi shiver.
[Yes, for a soul that does not need to breathe and does not rely on oxygen, what goal could be more appropriate than exploring the universe? ]
[In the vast universe, there are countless planets with life. I remember that before I traveled through time, according to scientists' calculations, there are as many as 600 billion planets suitable for life in the Milky Way alone! ]
[600 billion planets with life, 600 billion cultures! Explore and search for those planets, make friends with life that you have never imagined, record a history that is completely different from that of humans, and learn music that humans have never had. Is there anything more romantic than this! ? ]
Thinking of this, Gu Shi wished he could rush out of the Great Void Forest, rush out of the earth, and plunge into the boundless universe.
Fortunately, "weakness" stopped his impulse.
Killian is just a mere idiot, unable to walk in the air. If he wants to move in outer space, he must at least learn how to "turn".
After regaining his sanity, Gu Shi soon realized that even if the soul does not need oxygen in outer space, the vacuum negative pressure and ubiquitous cosmic rays can still be life-threatening.
Whether the soul form is afraid of vacuum or cosmic rays is still unknown and needs further verification!
Even if it is confirmed that Hollows cannot live in a vacuum, it doesn't matter!
There is no shortage of geniuses among the Shinigami and Arrancar. They can even create outrageous things like transformed souls and artificial bodies. It must not be difficult to ask them to help build a device that can survive in outer space!
Even if the research and development process takes hundreds of years, it doesn’t matter. I have plenty of time now!
Yes, yes, exploring the universe is bound to be a long and huge project. If you travel into the universe alone, it would be too lonely and you might go crazy because of loneliness in no time.
So, it’s best to bring a lot of friends with you!
[In short! Having a lifespan that seems to have no end, and being trapped on a small planet, is really a loss! ]
[I must! I must! Explore the universe! ]
As he thought about it, Gu Shi became more and more excited, and finally determined his life goal for the next thousand years:
First! Find a way to become stronger. It would be best if I could evolve into a Vastod before leaving Earth. It would be even better if I could complete the Arrancar transformation!
With such powerful strength, even if you encounter unfriendly natives during the exploration of the universe, you don’t have to worry about encountering danger.
Second! Make as many friends as possible. The scope of friends does not have to be limited to the group of virtual beings. As long as you can share the dream of "exploring the universe", no matter if they are the gods of death or virtual beings, even the sinners in hell, you can become your friend!
The achievement of the first goal will also facilitate the second goal! Perfect!
Third! From now on, I will develop and train new people who are interested in research and creation. I can't just rely on Urahara Kisuke and Sal Apollo for help.
I don't know where these geniuses are now. My friends are the most reliable if they are research geniuses! Doesn't Bat like mathematics? When he wakes up, I must kidnap him to help me!
Finally! Try to get along with everyone happily and enjoy your endless life happily!
Gu Shi, who found his target, was extremely happy and patted Erlang's head hard.
"Ji Lang, tonight we are going to tell the story of the Incubator Civilization and the Magical Girl! This is a story that takes place in the starry sky, it is guaranteed to be interesting!"
Suddenly someone patted his head, and Jilang scratched his head in confusion. Although he still didn't understand what Incubators and Magical Girls were, since Gu Shi was happy, he naturally became happy too, baring his teeth and showing a big smile, looking extremely happy.

Chapter 61: Open up the martial arts world!
"…Just like that, on that day, Kaname Madoka became a true god, saving all those who should be saved and forgiving all those who should be forgiven. Everyone got their own happiness, except for two people who were still separated from happiness.
"One is Madoka, who has lost her parents and lost her whole family. The other is Homura Akemi, who hopes Madoka will be happy. She overlooks the bustling city in the night, coldly watching those who survived because of Madoka, with a different emotion brewing in her heart.
