Chapter 358: Conspiracy, Switching Battle
Chapter 358: Conspiracy, Switching Battle
In the Soul Society, the battles between Quincies and Shinigami from all over the place stopped, mainly because they couldn't understand the situation.
Five Vastodes arrived and first attacked the Quincy's leader, then launched indiscriminate fire coverage on Captain Zaraki's side.
However, other ordinary death gods did not suffer much. As long as they did not go to the battlefield of the 'immortals', they were still safe on the edge.
The Quincies did not dare to act rashly, mainly because if they were to fight against the Shinigami, they were afraid of being ambushed by the Hollows, and then they would be completely wiped out.
In the battlefield where Kenpachi Zaraki was, he almost attacked together with Adolf tacitly, and used his abilities to fight back and withstand this wave of attacks from the Void Flash Ensemble.
"Old man, how about destroying these Voids first?"
Kenpachi Zaraki suggested. He could see the situation clearly. Thanks to the arrival of Lu Li and Aizen, the decline of the Shinigami side had been curbed. They were even in an advantageous position because Lu Li had killed a large number of Quincy chiefs.
The problem now is that when most of the high-level combat forces of the Quincies have disappeared and the spiritual pressure of the captains of the Shinigami have been almost exhausted, the threat posed by the five Vastodes is too great.
From his own ideal point of view, he would rather kill these Vastodes first.
"We can't let Hueco Mundo take advantage of us."
Adolf sighed, he also knew that it would be difficult to defeat Soul Society today, but fortunately they had achieved a lot of results, and considering the balance of the three realms after the war, Soul Society would not continue to wipe out the Quincies.
All they can do now is to kill as many Death Gods as possible, and also get rid of the Void above.
From his point of view, it is not allowed for the Hueco Mundo to become bigger after both the Shinigami and the Quincies are defeated. Otherwise, if the Hollows invade the real world, humans and the Quincies will suffer.
The captain of the Zancheng in front of him was very powerful. He felt that he might not be able to defeat him even if he used all his strength. It would be better to eliminate some potential threats to the world in the last time.
As he said that, he and Kenpachi Zaraki stopped fighting and began to deal with the bombing from Nel and Stark above.
In the northeastern battlefield, Hirako Mashiro had just killed a Quincy leader with his Zanpakutō's inverted ability, and turned to look at the person approaching him, "Aizen, where have you been before?"
His eyes were warm behind his blue glasses. "Captain Hirako, I was on a mission in the real world and just returned. Are you okay with your injuries?"
Pingzi pressed the wound on his chest with one hand, "How can I be in trouble if you are fine? Let's stop talking about this and follow me to the main battlefield."
"Oh? Those monsters are gathered there. With your condition and my strength, I will only be a hindrance if I go over there, right?"
Aizen said as if he was a little surprised.
"That Quincy is very difficult to deal with. His power is too great for a head-on fight. We need to give him some trouble."
Hirako said, "Aizen, your Zanpakutō is of the water type as I remember it, it can confuse the enemy through reflection and make them kill each other. With my Zanpakutō, as long as he misjudges once, Captain Kyoraku and the others should be able to kill him."
As he spoke, the Zanpakutō in his Shikai state began to spin around the hilt, "My Zanpakutō's ability is to turn things upside down. You should have seen it just now."
The reason he briefly explained the abilities of his Zanpakutō was because he had never shown it to Aizen before.
It was fine when Aizen was a student, but since Lu Li disappeared, he could no longer see through Aizen, so he always kept something in reserve based on his intuition.
But today, Soul Society was attacked, and he couldn't fight the enemy without using Shikai. Now he has to cooperate with Aizen, so naturally he has to demonstrate his abilities.
"Oh? What an interesting power."
Aizen's eyes lit up, "If that's the case, I'm willing to go with the captain."
Pingzi's invitation was unexpected, but he originally wanted to find a reason to get closer to the main battlefield area so that it would be easier for him to control the situation.
On the other side, in the sky due east, the captain in the bubble was watching the battle through the illusory membrane.
He didn't know why these Hollows also set the Soul Singer as their first target, but he knew that the current situation was advantageous to the Seireitei, and he admired the judgment of Kyōraku and others.
Although it may have been unintentional, the attack from the Hollows did cause a lot of trouble for the young Quincy. As long as he could escape, neither the Hollows nor the Quincy would be a concern.
As if he had sensed the captain's gaze in the foam, Xueyu's smile widened, and he said to the soul singer, "Time is running out. Even if I don't die, the captain will soon be free."
"How much longer?"
The soul singer frowned and said that the time he could trap the captain was shorter than he thought, and now because of the captain's time bomb, he was tied up and fell into a disadvantage.
He looked up at the black cavities in the sky. With his eyesight, he could see that the black cavities opened by these Vastodes were different from ordinary black cavities. It should be Aizen's new technology.
I'm afraid that after passing through the black cavity, the Hueco Mundo is not far away. It is far more stable and reliable than the traditional black cavity, and even more efficient than the Grim Reaper passing through the gate.
Now this black cavity has been in an open state and has not been closed. It also requires a certain amount of spiritual pressure to maintain it. The intention is obvious.
Damn conspiracy!
The Soul Singer smelled the signal given to him by Aizen and Lu Li, which was that if he wanted to fight, he should come to Hueco Mundo.
It seemed like he had no choice. If he continued to fight here, he might lose his defense and accidentally release the captain.
Even if he delays time, the captain will still escape after ten minutes, and he will still die then.
If he wanted to fight without fear, he would have to go to the enemy's territory and give up his advantage in destroying the Quincy army.
However, because of the previous battle, the Quincy camp could no longer provide him with much help. When Lu Li arrived, he sent a message to the leaders of several adventure groups he was familiar with, asking them to retreat.
The obedient Tiandao Space Explorer has already run away. This can be regarded as his obligation to the space as a pioneer.
If he continued to fight here, he would be beaten to death or be taken away by the escaped captain Ryujin Jakka.
It seemed that he had no choice at all. If he wanted to win, he had to go to Hueco Mundo.
At this time, Lu Li, who had stabilized his body in the storm, used the Shadow Clone Technique, summoning a shadow clone and having it rush towards the battlefield of Soul Society to assist in the sweep.
He himself rushed towards the Soul Singer using Flash Step. Sosuke asked him to cooperate and act according to the circumstances. He probably understood what it meant.
As long as he continued to attack the Gothic girl, he could force the soul singer to change battlefield.
There was no need to think about using attacks to drive the Soul Singer into the black chamber or other rigid operations. Instead, they could let the Soul Singer "force" them into the Hueco Mundo.
This way, there won't be any sense of disharmony, and both sides can fight to the fullest, and who gets the spiritual seed will depend on their own abilities. "Mr. Lu, you are really getting stronger and stronger."
At this time, Unohana and Lu Li were walking side by side. Because of the fight just now, the hairband was broken, and her long hair was spread out behind her. She looked less gentle and more fierce. "I'll be on the left and you on the right."
Needless to say, the two of them, as if they had rehearsed it thousands of times, transformed into two streams of light and instantly appeared on the left and right sides of the Soul Singer's barrier.
At the same time, Harribel's water stream slashed from bottom to top and rushed under the soul singer.
Unohana's plain slash carried an invisible sword aura, and the Demon Prisoner in Lu Li's hand was wrapped with Flowing Cherry and Overlord Haki, and with the blessing of spiritual pressure, its sharpness doubled.
The three attacks came out almost simultaneously, causing cracks to appear in the Soul Singer's high-density lepton barrier.
Just as he frowned, the figure of Kyoraku Shunsui fell from above. He had put on the captain's haori without knowing when, and slashed at the white barrier with a sword, "Sexy ghost, Shiro!"
boom--
The barrier created by the Soul Singer with props shattered, and at this moment he demonstrated a level of combat judgment that even Lu Li was amazed at.
The soul singer plucked the harp with his left hand, and what appeared were not notes but spiritual threads that looked like musical scores. These threads intertwined into a net, blocking the attacks from both sides.
Then his body sank, almost being pressed down by Kyoraku Shunsui's sword, but he was always three inches away from the blade.
The spiritual sword in his right hand shot downwards, splitting the water stream that Harribel was slashing at. Then he used the recoil force to slightly turn his body and narrowly missed Kyoraku Shunsui's sword.
The moment he dodged the attack, the net woven from silk threads turned in the air, and the edges of the threads were like sharp blades, cutting towards Kyoraku who was about to turn around and attack Blood Rain.
In the continuous collision and impact, the four people scattered again. At the same time, the soul singer played the harp in his hand, and a large number of notes rushed towards the crowd, trying to temporarily slow down the opponent's offensive.
After doing all this, he stretched out his hand to grab the blood rain, but the sensation in his hand was different, and his heart suddenly started to tremble.
The next moment, the sword struck him from behind. Despite the protection of the Static Blood Suit, he was still injured because he was not prepared in time.
"Pingzi..."
The soul singer's eyes were solemn. He had just misjudged the direction. If the person who attacked him was Lu Li instead of Pingzi, he might have been seriously injured.
He once again constructed a larger spirit particle barrier to avoid leaving any shadows. "Blood Rain, I don't ask for much. If you want to survive, just hold on for a few more minutes. I'm going to change locations."
In the current situation, it is impossible for him to protect Blood Rain and fight at the same time. He has to rush into the Hueco Mundo. In this way, even if the captain-general escapes later, Soul Society will not be able to catch up with him for a while without the Black Chamber technology.
What's more, the battle in Soul Society also needs to be concluded, and the captain-general will definitely have to deal with the affairs of Soul Society first after he escapes.
After giving Blood Rain his orders, he attacked Lu Li and the others from a distance while keeping his distance, and shouted to Adolf, "Chief Miller, the battlefield here is now in your hands."
As he said that, he stepped out of the barrier and headed straight towards Lu Li.
He didn't dare to delay the current situation for long, because Aizen had also arrived at the main battlefield. Fortunately, he had been paying attention and avoided seeing Aizen's Shikai, but he couldn't guarantee that he could always avoid it.
If he was tricked by the opponent and completely hypnotized, he wouldn't have to fight back later.
whoosh-
There were several flashes coming from the front, accompanied by Ulquiorra's Thunder Spear. Amid the roar, the figure of the Soul Singer rushed out sideways from the smoke and dust.
"Damn you, I'm going to kill you all!"
The soul singer roared angrily and at full power, the five-line music was woven into a net, so wide that it could even cover the entire Soul Society.
Under his manipulation, the giant net contracted upwards, wrapping up all five Vastod-class Arrancars. Due to Lu Li and Aizen's relatively high positions, they were also within its attack range.
The Grim Reapers below were shocked that the Soul Singer still had such tremendous strength after this fight, and even dared to fight against five Vastods and a captain-level Grim Reaper on his own.
However, Kenpachi Zaraki heard something else from the words of the soul singer, which was "If you want to annihilate all the hollows, this is your last chance."
He hesitated for only a moment before abandoning his opponent in front of him, jumping from below, rushing towards the soul singer and launching an attack.
On the surface, he looked like a captain of the Gotei attacking the enemy, without any sense of incongruity, and his attack range also included Stark and Nel.
"Aizen!"
"Mr. Lu!"
"Land from!"
There were exclamations from everyone below. Anyone could see that this was a life-and-death attack by the soul singer. The sharp spirit particle network woven by the five-line music score was shrinking at such a rapid speed that if someone was cut by it, the person would be seriously injured if not killed.
Lu Li and Aizen also made a reasonable judgment. They quickly stepped upwards to avoid the giant net woven by the Soul Singer, and Xiao Wu and the others did not release powerful attacks to resist. They just made some fake dodges and gave in half-heartedly.
Now their goal has been achieved. Although they are about to fight to the death, both sides have a very high degree of tacit understanding at this moment.
Under the contraction of the Soul Singer's giant net, Lu Li and others were forced to the direction where the black cavity was locked. That was the only entrance to the alien space above the sky that could be escaped.
"Lingchu. Tide surges!"
When Lu Li and others were gathered together, the Soul Singer did not give up this excellent opportunity. He activated the power of the Fairy Seed with all his strength and combined it with his own abilities. A dazzling light lit up in the sky, like a ignited star.
A huge spiritual shock wave surged towards Lu Li and others, and its power even made Aizen look sideways, but there were still people watching in the Soul Society, so it was not convenient for him to take action. He just had sweat on his forehead, like a vice-captain who was involved in the ultimate battlefield.
Stark and the others attacked almost at the same time, dodging and firing continuously, confronting the storm of spiritual tide.
Under the shocked gazes of everyone in Seireitei, Kenpachi Zaraki went against the flow, gathered invisible spiritual power, and attacked the Soul Singer from behind.
boom--
The attacks from multiple parties collided with each other, causing a secondary explosion. The entire sky was covered in a dazzling light, and a storm of spirit particles swept across the sky and earth, making it impossible to open one's eyes.
When the light and smoke faded, the black cavity in the sky began to slowly close, and the several masters who had fought before all disappeared.
