Chapter 391 Gate of Hell

Chapter 391 Gate of Hell
After becoming an Achukas, the Death Plague loses its contagiousness and other Achukas will not be infected if devoured. If one dies through conventional means, the Death Plague will not break out but will completely lose its effectiveness.

Although there are many restrictions, Gu Qiusha’s main target is not those evolved Achukas, but simply Killian in the Great Void Forest.

In fact, many Achukas died due to successive wars, and another group was captured and killed by Aizen using the Hogyoku. Now the number of Achukas in the Hueco Mundo is not as many as before.

However, almost all of the densely packed Hollows in the Great Hollow Forest were infected with this plague.

At this moment, under the guidance of Gu Qiusha's Death Compass, the number of Great Hollow souls in the entire Hueco Mundo was reduced by nearly half!
The disappearance of spiritual pressure at this level could be described as destructive, causing turmoil in the entire Hueco Mundo. Even if Harribel and the others activated the backup plan that Aizen had left behind to deal with Kenpachi Zaraki, they still found it difficult to stabilize the situation.

Is Kochusa's real goal to destroy Hueco Mundo?

Of course not, this is just the prelude to the big show.

Destroying Hueco Mundo was of no benefit to him. Killing the Hollows with the Death Plague would not yield a treasure chest for him, and even the side quest of seizing attribute points could not be completed.

He did this only to effectively disrupt the order of the Three Realms and restrain all the masters of this world.

More than two months ago, the Soul Singer and Kenpachi Zaraki entered the Hueco Mundo. He was very excited at that time and wanted to take this opportunity to kill the two pioneers in one fell swoop.

Originally, it was a good environment for a decisive battle. After all, there was a great battle in Soul Society and the captain-general was sealed, so it was a perfect time to take action.

But after weighing his own strength, he felt that it was too unrealistic, so he had to give up with regret.

But now that he has mastered new power and is confident of his ability to reap the rewards, eliminating this threat from the top of the world becomes his primary goal.

He didn't need to worry about those guys in the Zero Squad who were so arrogant that they wouldn't go out unless the Soul King was threatened, but Captain-General Yamamoto was an impossible existence for a fourth-level or even fifth-level explorer to deal with, so he had to consider sending him away.

So he came up with the plan in front of him.

The turmoil in Hueco Mundo is only the first step, and he is using the Quincy's means to completely destroy the Hollows. This will not only cause turmoil in Hueco Mundo, but the disappearance of a large amount of spiritual pressure, combined with the ritual he has just completed, will inevitably lead to another result.

That is... the opening of the gate of hell.

Snap——Swish——

The heavy sound of the door opening was heard, and the sound of the chain colliding on the steel door made people tremble in their hearts.

I saw a huge door with skulls embedded on both sides, opening between heaven and earth, and an ominous aura leaked out from the gap in the door.

As Gu Qiusha expected, there was another fundamental reason why the Spirit King created the Three Realms, which was to resist the expansion of Hell.

Now a large amount of spiritual pressure in the Hueco Mundo has disappeared, and many captain-level masters were killed in the previous war. Now the spiritual pressure here can no longer hold down the gates of hell.

Half of the Hollows in the entire Hollow Forest were destroyed, and many Achukas were killed, which was a devastating blow to the balance of the three realms.

The gates of hell opened wide, and an ominous and evil spiritual pressure rushed into the world, directly corroding the land into a blood-red color.

At this time, in the Soul Society, the Hell Butterflies carrying the Shinigami were dancing gracefully and were extremely active.

Meanwhile, in the technical development department of the 12th Division, alarms were blaring in the room that was monitoring the present world, and the screen was all red.

The soldiers in charge of observation frantically transmitted information to alert everyone in Soul Society.

For the masters, there was actually no need for them to remind them. In the trial venue of Central Room 46, Captain Yamamoto was the first to notice that something was wrong.

He felt the world shaking, which was a manifestation of the impact on the bottom of the Three Realms.

boom--

The door to the venue was opened rashly. The Gotei corps soldier in charge of delivering the message was panting and looked terrified. "Squad 12 monitoring report, the gate of hell in Kabukicho is completely open!"

The captains present, including the sages from Room 46, were all shocked upon hearing this.

They all knew that the gates of hell would open. When the god of death killed a heinous person, or when someone who had committed heinous crimes in his lifetime died, his soul would be pulled into the gates of hell.

But in that case, the gate of hell is usually only opened a small crack, and the chains pull the human soul into it, and it will not be completely opened.

The full opening of the gates of hell is a clear sign of the imbalance of the three realms. If hell begins to erode reality, it means that the three realms may collapse.

Under such circumstances, neither the trial nor the commendation meeting could be held. The sages of the 46th Chamber also lost their composure and said, "Hurry to the real world to deal with it!"

Tsunayashiro Tokinada also frowned slightly, he liked interesting things, but he did not want to see the destruction of the Three Realms. He also wanted to carry out his family's evil to the end, create a new Soul King and thus control absolute power.

If the three realms were destroyed due to the expansion of hell, wouldn't he never be able to enjoy pleasure again?

Although there was no evidence, he instinctively felt that this incident was caused by the mysterious Gu Qiusha. Otherwise, how could the Three Realms be suddenly invaded by hell when they were originally fine?

In the jury box, the captain stood up first, "The meeting is terminated. All the Gotei 13 listen to my orders and follow me to the human world. During this operation, the spiritual pressure restrictions are lifted!"

Normally, captain-level Shinigami have to limit their spiritual pressure when heading to the real world, otherwise it is easy to cause damage to the real world, but this time the situation is urgent and special.

They must try their best, and preferably use powerful spiritual pressure to maintain balance and close the gate of hell.

In the central trial area, Lu Li and Aizen also had serious expressions, and they were not pretending.

Soul Society is doing fine now, and there are no creatures with high spiritual pressure in the human world, so the only possibility for this situation to occur now is that a large number of souls have been destroyed in the Hueco Mundo.

This may mean that while the two of them were being tried here, their lair was robbed.

Aizen was still relatively okay, but Lu Li was a little worried about the situation of his companions in Kyoniya Palace.

At this time, the captain-general spoke, and all the captains became serious, ready to go, and ordered their anxious troops to go to the present world.

…………

The situation was urgent and the Gotei 13 responded extremely quickly, but it still took them several minutes to organize the troops and rush to the human world.

Except for those divisions that have not yet had new captains take office and reorganized, all the current Gotei corps with complete combat power are present.

After arriving in the real world, everyone was stunned when they saw the gate of hell that stretched from heaven to earth. Because as the gods of death, they had seen the gate of hell a few times, but in their impression, the gate of hell was much smaller than this.

The gate of hell before us cannot be seen in its entirety unless we look from a distance. It seems as if it reaches directly to the stars.

As soon as the gate of hell opened, all creatures within a radius of hundreds of kilometers fell into deathly silence. The powerful and ominous spiritual pressure was enough to take the life of an ordinary person.

Meanwhile, at the shrine on the top of the mountain, Gu Qiusha had just completed the last step of the ritual and turned to look at the god of death walking out of the gate in the sky.

"You're really quick, but I've already done everything I wanted to do."

he said with a smile.

As long as you kill a Hollow or evil spirit in front of the deceased's grave, or through an object with the deceased's spiritual pressure attached to it, you can send his soul to hell during the soul burial ceremony.

It was through this ritual that he determined the coordinates of the opening of the Gate of Hell. Otherwise, the Three Realms would be unstable and the Gate of Hell could open anywhere, which would not meet his needs.

At this time, evil spirits have already rushed out of the gate of hell. Most of them were powerful ghosts in their lifetime, because the existence of human souls that fall into hell are often not too strong.

After death, one falls into hell and the holes in the body disappear and are replaced by external holes.

So how many powerful Xu have died in history? No one can tell for sure.

After all, the Three Realms were established a million years ago, but the Gotei 13 have only been established for more than a thousand years. Even with Captain-General Yamamoto's thousands of years of experience, he cannot claim to know the entire history of Soul Society.

At this time, the gates of hell were wide open, and the trigger set by Gu Qiusha was equivalent to setting coordinates for these evil creatures, giving them the opportunity to return to the world.

In hell, no matter what kind of soul it is, it will be subjected to eternal fighting and devouring. After death, it will be reborn and start a new round of torture.

Unless they have a particularly abnormal personality, they generally cannot endure this cycle of repeated fighting and devouring. If there is a chance to return to the Three Realms and escape from hell, they will never let it go.

At this moment, the captains in the air saw the evil spirits rushing out of the gate of hell, and their faces changed color, because they could see that many of them were Yachukas-level in their previous lives, and after being tempered by blood in hell, they became even more powerful.

These empty holes disappeared and twisted into outer rings. The masks on some heads turned into goat horns symbolizing the demons of hell, while others became even stranger horns.

The strangest thing is that they can't even sense the spiritual pressure of these evil spirits. This is too uncomfortable for the Shinigami who usually rely on spiritual pressure perception to fight.

"Don't panic, they are just the defeated generals we sent to hell. We can just kill them again."

Captain-General Yamamoto stepped forward, flames ignited on his scepter, and his Ryujin Rukafire was unsheathed. The powerful spiritual pressure instantly suppressed the entire world.

It was also the first time that Lu Li saw Captain Yamamoto release his spiritual pressure without reservation. Even though the captain's suppression was not directed at them, he instinctively felt a sense of suffocation. That kind of power was completely in a different dimension from his own.

Seeing how calm the captain-in-chief was and the powerful force he displayed, the other captains also calmed down and waited for instructions.

"Ukitake, Chunshui, the two of you will follow me to build a barrier to suppress and close the gate of hell."

Captain Yamamoto is indeed a veteran. He was able to remain calm in such a critical situation and give the correct instructions. "Yoichi, you will lead the covert movement to block the surrounding area and prevent any evil spirits from rushing out of this area."

"Mako, Kensi, the two of you will lead the team to provide support on the field."

"Lie, you are responsible for treating the wounded. You are allowed to take action when necessary."

"Kiryu, you are responsible for stabilizing the spirit particles in the barrier."

"Land from……"

The captain finally called Lu Li, "Eliminate all the evil spirits and kill the leader of the bandits!"

As the captain of the 11th Division, Lu Li is the leader of the combat ace team of the Gotei 13. It was not surprising for him to be assigned this task on such an occasion, and it was exactly what he wanted.

"Captain, can I chop as much as I want?"

Kenpachi Zaraki followed Lu Li with a ferocious grin on his face. He couldn't wait to start fighting.

What the captain said was indeed right. After holding it in for a while, there really was a big battle waiting for him.

"Go ahead and chop them, and don't be careless. These evil spirits cannot be sensed by spiritual pressure, so don't be affected by your usual habits."

Lu Li's words were a reminder to Kenpachi Zaraki as well as the other captains.

After going to hell, both the Hollows and the Death God Captains seemed to become stronger, but the most troublesome thing was not their improved values, but that their mechanisms did not conform to the Death God's regular combat habits.

No matter how high or low their spiritual pressure is, it seems that it will not show externally, or in other words, after going to hell, their composition is no longer in the form of spiritual particles.

Lu Li had read some setting collections about the world of death in the space, and one description caught his attention.

That is about the Hollow's Xiang Tan technique. The Hollow's Xiang Tan is completely different from the Shinigami's Shunpo that relies on muscle strength, and it is also different from the Quincy's Hiren Kyaku that manipulates spirit particles to move.

In the original work, Hollow's Hibiki is described as being able to avoid the Grim Reaper's detection nerves. This is a very troublesome skill, and it is also one of the reasons why Hollow can kill powerful enemies for the first time in certain situations.

So why can Xiang Zhuan do this? The reason is that when the Hollow activates Xiang Zhuan, it actually transforms the spirit particles in the body into "something that is not spirit particles".

Some comments in the space speculated that this "thing that is not a spirit particle" is the composition of the third type of energy in the world of death, that is, the energy system of the creatures in hell.

Therefore, this kind of energy cannot be sensed using the spiritual pressure system. Conventional Shinigami can only rely on their naked eyes to observe the movements of the hellish demons in battle, otherwise they will lose sight of them.

Of course, just because their systems are different, we cannot sense their spiritual pressure. This definitely does not mean that the spiritual pressure of these evil spirits is far above theirs. It is simply because they are not made up of spiritual particles, so their spiritual pressure cannot be sensed.

After reminding Kenpachi Zaraki, Lu Li couldn't wait to charge towards the battlefield. He took out his sword and cut off the heads of the two evil spirits with one stroke.

Zaraki was also laughing wildly, holding a Zanpakuto full of serrations, and charged directly into the group of evil spirits. He did not follow Lu Li's instructions and still held the sword with one hand, but he killed these evil spirits one by one.

The soldiers of the 11th Division who followed Lu Li and Kenpachi Zaraki were no longer afraid when they saw how brave their captain and vice-captain were. They started looking for targets that looked weaker.

Gu Qiusha stood in front of the shrine, looking at Lu Li who was rushing towards him without panic. He had been preparing for a long time, and the scene before him was all in his plan, so of course he was very calm.
