Chapter 647 The True King of Hueco Mundo
Chapter 647 The True King of Hueco Mundo
Unlike the captains who had mixed feelings, the explorers hiding in the Soul Society all breathed a sigh of relief.
Most of them were randomly assigned to this world, and many of them were not high in rank, only around level four or five.
Seeing the way the captain acted just now, they thought the world was going to be destroyed. If they died for no reason in the aftermath of a war of this magnitude, they would never be able to rest in peace.
"Fuck, who's this from? How can it be so pretentious?"
"How could Aizen tolerate this? All the roles have been taken away!"
"By the way, why didn't Aizen cause any trouble this time? Doesn't he want the Hogyoku?"
"..."
After surviving the disaster, the explorers began to complain, thinking that this explorer named Lu Li was too outrageous.
Since everyone in Soul Society knew him, it could be guessed that Lu Li had definitely been to this world before, and this time he came here using a world positioning item.
Because generally speaking, in a world like this where the upper limit of the deployment level is 60, there is usually no space to deploy some sixth-level peak explorers at the right time.
In their opinion, Lu Li was so powerful that he was definitely at the peak of level six, and he was definitely positioned with the help of props.
Near the original double execution platform, the injured captains stood up and stabilized their injuries with the help of Unohana.
Although no one was killed in this battle, they still felt a sense of defeat.
Everyone knew that Lu Li had shown mercy. If not, everyone except the captain might have died today.
This made the captains of the court goketeers feel very frustrated, and they wondered if they had been slacking off in their training over the years.
Especially those who were as strong as Lu Li back then, or even stronger, felt even more uncomfortable.
Although Kyoraku Shunsui failed to defeat the Soul Singer in the battle against the Quincies, he felt that if he had Bankai, he should be able to win, and suppressing Lu Li would not be a problem.
But after two hundred years, Lu Li's strength was enough to compete with the old man, but he didn't seem to have made much progress.
"The captain is really getting stronger and stronger..."
Kenpachi Zaraki got up from the ground and looked at the sky, "I really want to know where the captain has been fighting all these years..."
"Really? What a bunch of barbarians! I just prepared my potion, how come they ran away?"
Kuroda Mayuri complained dissatisfiedly. He thought he had analyzed Lu Li's fighting style clearly and was preparing to take targeted measures.
The captain looked at the sky and said nothing for a long time.
After a few minutes, he retracted his gaze and said, "Count the losses, Shishilang, go investigate Room 46."
"Yes!"
The captains all received the order.
…………
On the other side, after passing through the tunnel of the Black Chamber, Lu Li and his group arrived at the Hueco Mundo.
Looking up at the familiar gray moon, Lu Li sighed, "After such a long absence, even the moon here looks very familiar."
"Leave~"
Without outsiders around, Nilu rushed forward.
This time, Lu Li did not dodge or grab Ni Lu's face to push her away, but instead endured the grappling attack firmly.
He stroked Nilu's hair and looked at the others, "Thank you for your hard work during the years I was away."
"That's not right! Li."
Nilu stood up and said dissatisfiedly.
Lu Li realized something, then shook his head and smiled, then bowed solemnly, "I'm sorry to have made everyone worried."
"Mr. Lu, where have you been all these years?"
At this time, even the usually silent Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask questions out of curiosity.
"It's a long story. You can understand that I went to a place that is difficult to connect with here. Although the journey was thrilling, I also gained a lot of strength."
Lu Li explained vaguely.
"Is it the Western Division of Soul Society?"
Stark is worthy of being the longest-lived Hollow present, and he knows a lot about the affairs of Soul Society.
"No, it's farther away than that. There aren't many powerful guys in the West Branch."
Lu Li couldn't reveal the matter of the space to everyone and could only give a vague explanation.
Speaking of Xishao Bureau, he once speculated whether the second part of his main mission would require him to go there, but after analyzing it later, he felt that it was unlikely.
After all, although things were divided, the East Branch Bureau and the West Branch Bureau are still essentially a system organization. In the original work, when Yhwach made a fuss, the West Branch Bureau had nothing to do with it, which only shows that the combat power of the West Branch Bureau could not be intervened at all.
And Yhwach did not target that side, which means he looked down upon them.
Xishaoju is the type of person who can only stay at home and wait for news before the world is destroyed by a disaster.
Although the abilities of the fairy tale dragon are unique, they are only powerful in terms of mechanism. In terms of hard power, they are not enough in the top battlefield.
Xueyu once used a fairy tale dragon to seal the captain, but that was only for a short while. It is actually impossible to defeat the captain with a fairy tale dragon.
So Lu Li thought that the second part of the main quest might mean changing to a different place. At least one must have combat power at the level of Spirit King Youha before the space can divide the quest into two parts.
"Anyway, it's a good thing that Li is back. Let's go back to Xuye Palace first!"
Ni Lu is always so full of energy. She smiled and changed the subject, obviously seeing the difficulty Lu Li was having in explaining.
"The current Kyūya Palace is very different from two hundred years ago. After you left, Mr. Aizen used the Hogyoku to recruit some new members. The Kyūya Palace is now very lively."
As they walked, Ni Lu introduced the current situation of Xuye Palace to Lu Li.
"Oh? Tell me."
Lu Li asked curiously. Due to the tight time and inconvenient conversation, he did not discuss the matter of Hueco Mundo with Aizen in detail.
The shadow clone he sent out only brought a message to the Hueco Mundo to inform everyone that he was safe, and did not stay long to chat.
The main reason was that Lu Li felt that it was too disrespectful to let his shadow clone go and chat with an old friend when they met again, and he also wanted to experience this joy personally.
"Under the advice of Mr. Aizen, the Hueco-Shin Palace formed a system called the Ten Espada, which consists of ten powerful Arrancars, leading the entire Hueco-Shin to prosperity."
As Nilu spoke, she also turned sideways to let Lu Li see her fair and smooth back. Because she was wearing a belly-exposing outfit, the waist of the dress was too high, almost just reaching her chest, so half of her back was also exposed. From the exposed part, most of the number was shown, and it could be seen that her ranking was 4.
"The Ten Espada?"
Lu Li didn't expect that Aizen would come up with this thing. He clearly thought that having more people might not be of any use.
There are only five Vastrod-class Hollows, and Sal Apollo has even degraded himself. In Lu Li's opinion, except for the Vastrod-class Hollows, it doesn't make much strategic sense for other Achukas to become Arrancar.
"Prosperity or something like that was a wrong decision. That man just gave some systematic advice and then left it alone, which led to chaos in the Kyonakyuu Palace."
There was dissatisfaction in Harribel's tone, because after Lu Li disappeared, Aizen came to Hueco Mundo less and less often.
The formation of the Ten Espada seemed to be a spur of the moment decision, but after the formation, Aizen no longer cared about it, and as a result, the Ten Espada faction caused some chaos.
“This is indeed very troublesome.”
Stark said, showing his number, which was 1. "There are always some people who think this ranking is meaningful and challenge me. It annoys me so much that I can't sleep well."
"what happened?"
Lu Li looked at Ulquiorra, thinking that he was the person who could explain it best.
Xiao Wu understood and explained the details of the matter to Lu Li with an expressionless face.
It turned out that Sosuke had continued his experiments on the Hogyoku after he left. At that time, Harribel responded that the affairs of the Kyon Palace were busy, and the Hollows were cruel by nature and too prone to infighting, so she could not manage it alone.
Neloo and the others have to take the blame for this matter, because Neloo and Stark nominally have management rights, but one is busy playing and the other is busy sleeping, and they basically don't care about anything.
Xiao Wu is quite responsible, but even if he and Harribel were the only ones to manage Hueco Mundo, they still couldn't handle it all.
When Aizen heard about this, he suggested to simply form ten Espadrilles, let each of the ten Espadrilles recruit some subordinates, and manage the Hueco Mundo in different areas, so that there would be order.
He then found some Achukas who he felt had some potential and helped them awaken. Under the power of the Hogyoku, they broke their bodies and became the Espada.
Aizen's starting point was obviously good. In his opinion, the Kyonyaku Palace was Lu Jun's "legacy" and he should take care of it and help manage it better.
But the problem was that the relationship between Hueco Mundo and Soul Society deteriorated later, and he and Urahara Kisuke had colluded in Soul Society and had a good place to conduct experiments, so he basically stopped coming to Hueco Mundo.
So the problem arises. Aizen himself is very powerful, and he is also the transformer of the new Ten Espada, so he can naturally subdue them.
But after Aizen left, those troublesome new Espadas did not obey Kuroko and his friends. As a result, they led their own Hollow forces, but not only did they fail to govern the Hueco Mundo well, but they also fought among themselves all day long.
In terms of combat effectiveness, people like Stark could certainly kill all the new Ten Espada easily, but they felt that they were promoted by Aizen. Considering that Aizen was Lu Li's good friend, and that Lu Li said before he left that they should listen more to Aizen's opinions on all matters big and small in the future of Hueco Mundo, they were reluctant to take heavy-handed measures.
The result is what we have now. The Ten Espada draw the ground and regard themselves as kings, engaging in group fights with the Hollows all day long. Some of them even think that numbers are particularly important and want to get to the top, so they challenge Nel and the others whenever they have nothing to do.
"And this matter... Sosuke is really irresponsible..."
Lu Li complained.
"That's right, Mr. Aizen is enjoying himself in Soul Society and has totally forgotten about the task I entrusted to him!"
Nilu was waving her fists angrily.
"It's also my fault that the instructions I gave you were too vague."
Lu Li said self-reproachfully. He had no right to complain about Aizen. After all, Sosuke was a regular Shinigami. For the sake of his greater plans, it was impossible for him to come out and openly interact with Hueco Mundo.
After the relationship between Hueco Mundo and Soul Society deteriorated, if he came here every few days, it would be hard to guarantee that he would not be exposed.
In addition, since he had been gone for two hundred years, it was normal for Aizen to put the affairs of the Hueco Mundo on hold.
Moreover, Lu Li could vaguely understand Sosuke's little thoughts. Sosuke was able to warn those new Espadas. Even with just a voice call, he could make them behave themselves.
But he didn't do so, probably because he wanted to see whether new strong people could be born in the competitive environment of Hueco Mundo.
However, Lu Li does not need this system, because in terms of combat power, he is much stronger than Aizen. Even if there are a few more Vastodes, what does it matter? In a high-level battlefield, only he and Aizen can fight.
So he planned to reorganize the Hueco Mundo and fight with the partners he recognized. There was no need for any extra troublemakers.
"How can you blame Li for this? It's clearly Mr. Aizen who is irresponsible."
Nilu said angrily.
"It's okay. Now that I'm back, I'll take care of everything."
As Lu Li spoke, he called Aizen. He estimated that the Gotei 13 had disbanded by now, and Sosuke should be able to be alone.
Sure enough, after a while, the other party answered the phone.
"Sosuke, the situation in Hueco Mundo is not going well. I'm going to sort it out. What do you think?"
It has nothing to do with strength. Even if those new Ten Espadas are rubbish, Lu Li feels that he should tell Aizen about this matter, otherwise it would seem a bit disrespectful.
"It was originally just an experiment for fun. I'm sorry to have caused a lot of trouble for everyone."
Aizen's emotional intelligence is first-rate. Even though he is powerful, he will not use his power to bully others. In the past, when he was with Nel and the others, he spoke calmly and showed enough respect.
After hearing what Lu Li said, everyone knew that Lu Li was going to deal with the new Espada of Hueco Mundo. "Mr. Lu, please take full responsibility. The King of Hueco Mundo is your place."
"Trouble or something... it's not Aizen-san's fault. If you had told me earlier that we could handle them, we would have been able to handle it without waiting for Li to come back."
Nel heard Aizen's voice on the phone and said embarrassedly.
However, Lu Li, who was familiar with Aizen, knew that Sosuke was just stepping on the excuse he gave him and said these words to make Nel and others feel better. In fact, Aizen was really deliberately indulged in the past few years.
"That's it, come to Hueco Mundo after a while and see how things go. I have something important to discuss with Sosuke."
After Lu Li finished speaking, he hung up the phone. He heard some noisy sounds from the other end. He was afraid that Aizen was still pretending to be a wounded soldier in the Fourth Division.
At this time, they had already arrived at Xuye Palace while they were talking, but Lu Li discovered that there was a new palace here that he had never seen before.
Led by Xiao Wu and others, he entered and found that this was the throne hall. There was a throne on the high platform, but the hall was empty. Obviously, no one came here normally.
"This is the building that Harribel built for you in memory of Li. She thought you were dead."
Ni Lu put her hands beside her mouth and whispered to Lu Li, with a teasing look on her face.
"Nello, you're so talkative at a time like this."
Harribel said with a dark face, obviously embarrassed.
"But now that the true King of Hueco Mundo has returned, this building can come in handy, right?"
Xiao Wu said calmly at the side. He raised his hand and called his lieutenant, "Notify the entire Hueco Mundo and let the Ten Espada come to meet the King of Hueco Mundo."
