Chapter 648 Meeting

Chapter 648 Meeting
"The King of Hueco Mundo?"

The new Ten Espadas who received the message from the direction of Kyonyaku all showed confused expressions at the same time, followed by a burst of disdain.

"Is it Master Aizen who has returned?"

Some people also admire Aizen's power, thinking that Aizen finally abandoned the Soul Society, reigned over Hueco Mundo, and is now the king of Hueco Mundo.

After careful consideration, most people feel that the so-called King of Hueco Mundo is either Aizen or one of the top Ten Espadas. Finally, someone can't stand the current system anymore and wants to ascend the throne and start unifying the chaotic Hueco Mundo.

If the latter possibility is the case, then the Espadas will certainly not accept it, because in their opinion, although the Espadas themselves are ranked differently, they are all creatures of the same level. Even if the previous Espadas are stronger than them, their strength is only limited.

They are not like Aizen, who has an overwhelming difference in combat power, which makes them unable to even think of resisting.

If the Espada claimed to be the king, they would definitely not accept it, and they have even planned to surround and kill the Espada who dared to claim to be the king.

If Aizen returns, they will have to consider how to behave in order to consolidate their position in Hueco Mundo.

As the news spread, the Ten Espadas currently scattered across the Hueco Mundo, regardless of their thoughts, all rushed to the Hueco Mundo to see what was going on.

The current 80th Blade, Sal Apollo, walked out of the laboratory. After hearing the news, he felt a little uneasy, because he remembered that when he was doing experiments before, Ulquiorra's adjutant came to inform him and asked him to go to the Palace of Kyonaya.

His experiment was at a critical juncture at the time, so he did not listen carefully to the details. He only heard that there was an urgent matter in Xuye Palace and his participation was needed. However, because he was concentrating on the experiment, he just casually passed it over and did not go to the meeting room of Xuye Palace afterwards.

When he heard the message from Hueco-Sullivan again, he felt something was wrong, because the content of the message clearly asked the Espada to come and meet the King of Hueco-Sullivan.

There was indeed a great Hollow in Hueco Mundo who was called the King of Hueco Mundo, and there was also a human who was the Uncrowned King. The former had been killed by the latter, and the latter had been missing for two hundred years...

Sal Apollo felt a tightness in his heart, thinking that he might have missed some important event, and was very uneasy.

He hurriedly tidied up his appearance. He had already put on his most respectable clothes, but after thinking about it, he changed into the oldest version of the Xuye Palace uniform. Then, with a serious expression, he went to the Xuye Palace, which had never been used.

The speed of the Decadent-level Arrancars was obviously very fast. After the order was conveyed, they all gathered outside the Tower of Nothingness not long after.

This building was initiated by Harribel. Since it was built too long ago, those who became the new Ten Espadas in recent years had no idea why it was built and just thought it was a landscape building in the Kyon Palace.

Over the years, the Ten Espadas have been fighting each other. After Sar Apollo degenerated, he became a useless scientist. The remaining five Espadas, fearing the coercive management of Harribel and others, but also coveting their positions, all left the Kyonyaku, built their own forces on the periphery, and fought all day long.

Therefore, the speed at which they arrived was a little slower. Of course, some people deliberately waited a little longer before arriving.

The last of the Ten Espada to arrive was the current 50th Espada, Nnoitra Gilgeam. He was originally the 80th Espada, and after a hundred years of fighting in the periphery, he was promoted to the 50th Espada.

Nnoitra has a bad temper and never submits to anyone, especially the two women who are above him. He often comes to the vicinity of the Kyūya Palace to provoke Nel, who is higher in rank than him, but Nel has only fought with him once despite his repeated provocations.

That time, Nero defeated Nnoitra with overwhelming combat power, and after that she refused to accept any provocations from him, pretending not to see them, which made Nnoitra quite annoyed.

Now that he had heard that the King of Hueco Mundo had appeared, he naturally came here with a critical eye, and with a rebellious expression on his face, he joined the team.

The Ten Espadas were divided into two rows, with odd and even numbers standing in alternating positions. Stark and Ulquiorra stood in the first row. One was yawning, while the other glanced expressionlessly at the Ten Espadas present, his gaze fixed on Nnoitra, who arrived last.

In the second row were Harribel and Nilu. Harribel had her face buried in her collar so no one could see her expression, while Nilu had a happy smile on her face and was obviously happy about today's event.

Next are the 50th Espada Nnoitra, the 60th Espada Grimmjow, the 70th Espada Yammy Rialgo, the 80th Espada Sar Apollo, the 90th Espada Zomari Lulu, and the 10th Espada Aroniello Eluluyeli.

"Follow me to meet the King of Hueco Mundo."

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ulquiorra spoke and led many of the Espadas up the steps of the Tower of Nothingness.

His current number among the Espada is 2, and his position as the th Espada seems to be one level lower than Stark, but Stark never gets involved in anything. In fact, the most powerful person in Hueco Mundo is Ulquiorra.

It's just that the internal affairs of the Kurosaurus are usually handled more by the 30th Espada, Harribel, while Ulquiorra is mainly responsible for dealing with external disputes.

Obviously, this Twentieth Blade who often faces the outside world is still very majestic. When swept by his emotionless gaze, all the Ten Blades dare not be the first to stand out and follow his steps into the Tower of Nothingness.

After walking through the long steps, the Ten Blades entered the throne room. All the Hollows raised their heads and looked at the figure on the throne.

For a moment, except for the Hollow who was very familiar with Lu Li back then, all the new Espadrilles showed surprised expressions, and even Sal Apollo had an unnatural expression.

Because Sal Apollo suddenly understood why Ulquiorra had called him to do before, but he actually missed the opportunity to welcome the man back because of that damn experiment.

It goes without saying that he might be ostracized later.

All I can say is that in this matter, Ulquiorra called him, which was already a very kind thing to do, and it was like taking care of an old acquaintance, but he didn't seize the opportunity.

Sal Apollo looked at the confusion, bewilderment, disdain, and arrogance on the faces of the new Ten Espadas. The regret in his heart gradually faded away, and he looked at these Ten Espadas with an amusement eye.

"The first of the ten espadrilles, Koyate Stark, meets the King of Hueco Mundo."

Following the order, Stark saluted first after taking his position.

Although Lu Li had long ago told him not to do this, Ulquiorra said that an organization should have a basic system architecture so that the top-down structure can be strict. This was taught to him by Mr. Aizen.

Their relationship can be very relaxed in private, but when it comes to major matters in the management of Hueco Mundo, Lu Li should have the dignity of a ruler, so that he can subdue the irritable Hollows and stabilize Hueco Mundo.

"The 20th Espada, Ulquiorra Cifer, meets the King of Hueco Mundo."

Ulquiorra saluted with an expressionless face. In fact, he already understood what the heart was and knew how to cherish his friends and partners, but his facial paralysis seemed to be congenital.

"The 30th Espada, Tia Harribel, has met the King of Hueco Mundo."

Harribel buried her face in her collar, lowered her eyebrows and nodded.

"The 40th Espada, Nelliel du Odashvank, has met the King of Hueco Mundo."

Ni Lu even smiled secretly while bowing and winked at Lu Li.

Lu Li sat on the high platform, watching the pomp and circus of the Hollows. He also knew that today was the day to unify the forces of Hueco Mundo, and he should maintain the dignity of the absolute ruler of Hueco Mundo. Fortunately, he had practiced in this area before, and was familiar with the scene in front of him in the world of the Undead King.

He exuded a majestic aura naturally and glanced downwards. However, after his four best friends took the lead, the audience ceremony came to an abrupt end.

Because of this process, it got stuck at the 50th Blade, Nnoitra.

"Huh? King of Hueco Mundo? Can just any Tom, Dick, or Harry become the King of Hueco Mundo?"

Nnoitra swung the huge sickle behind him, stood below, and pointed the knife at Lu Li, "Can't you see? This guy is a human! Are you going to bow down to a lowly human!?"

Because this time when he entered the world, the space did not give Lu Li a disguise, so Lu Li did not appear in front of everyone in the form of a spirit.

From an intuitive point of view, he is more like a human being rather than a god of death made up of pure spirit.

As for these changes of his, the people in Soul Society understood that Lu Li had undergone some changes in the past two hundred years, which made his spirit more condensed and his appearance looked like he had a physical body.

But in the eyes of the new Espada of Hueco Mundo who don't know him, he is just a human, at most a human with stronger spiritual power.

Nnoitra's words were deafening. Nelue and others in the front row frowned after hearing them. Nelue, who was easily emotional, was so angry that she wanted to stand up and educate Nnoitra.

She didn't hate humans in the first place, and Lu Li was someone she respected and admired. How could she tolerate Nnoitra's offense and calling him a lowly person?
Behind Nnoitra, the new Ten Espadas, although they did not follow Nnoitra to provoke him, their eyes and expressions said it all.

Obviously, they agreed with Neutra's opinion, but they were not as brave as Neutra to stand up and be the first to speak out.

They fought so hard mostly to improve their rankings, hoping to become as strong as the first of the Ten Espadas one day. Which of the Ten Espadas does not have the ambition to become the king.

It can be said that even if they obey Aizen, it is only because Aizen is strong enough. When they are strong enough to compete with Aizen, they will ruthlessly turn against Aizen and become the king who rules the Hueco Mundo themselves.

But now a guy who looks like a human appears halfway and claims to be the king of Hueco Mundo. How could they possibly accept him?

If Stark and the others had not saluted first, making them suspicious, they would have probably spoken out or taken action already.

"Nelu."

Just when everyone was getting a little restless, Lu Li's voice came from above. His gentle voice made Ni Lu, who had just stood up, stiffen.

Nilu stared at Noitra with anger in her eyes, but after Lu Li's reminder, she slowly returned to her position and gave up.

Nnoitra found this scene quite funny. He laughed wildly, "Females are females. You are just a human. Do you think you will surrender? Come on, release your murderous aura. Let's decide the winner today."

"you……"

Nilu was furious. She actually never cared about Noitra's insults to her. After all, she thought it was just a poor creature barking. But she could not accept him humiliating her friends and people she respected.

"Why, do you want to fight?"

Nnoitra had a crazy evil smile on his face, and he was obviously very eager to fight with Nel.

"Nnoitra."

However, at this moment, the voice above sounded again, mentioning Noitra's name. It was as calm as the previous voice, but it made Noitra's heart inexplicably stop for a moment.

Lu Li sat upright, looking at Nnoitra calmly, "I heard that your name is probably this, right?"

"how?"

Nnoitra turned around unhappily and looked at Lu Li, "Human, do you have any problem with my fight with her?"

"Do not."

Lu Li shook his head slowly, "I just want to say that you haven't saluted me yet."

"what?"

Nnoitra looked at Lu Li as if he was a fool. "Human, are you crazy? You want me to bow to a lowly human? Even if heaven and earth reverse it, I will not..."

He was interrupted before he could finish his words.

An extremely heavy pressure descended upon him out of nowhere, forcing him to kneel down. He had to use all his strength in his hands to prevent his head from hitting the ground.

The strange thing is that the ground of the throne hall did not collapse due to this extremely powerful force, because there was a force that supported the earth in the opposite direction, making the ground solid and stable.

Nnoitra had no idea what was happening at that moment. He just tried to resist the force with sweat all over his forehead. At the same time, his spiritual pressure was frantically sensing the first four Espadas, wanting to know whose ability it was that made him become like this.

But in his memory, he had never heard of any Espada with such a powerful ability to manipulate gravity. Could it be that human?

"Not respectful enough."

Under the shocked gazes of several new Espadas, the man on the platform spoke again, and the invisible force descended once again.

"what--"

Nnoitra roared, but it was a meaningless roar, because no matter how he roared, his body was still pressed down inch by inch, his bones were crushed, his spine was bent, and his head hit the ground with a crisp sound.

The sound of footsteps came from above, with the same rhythm. Someone was walking down slowly from above.

The new Ten Espadas looked at Nnoitra who was pinned to the ground in confusion. They could not comprehend what was happening before their eyes because they did not even feel the powerful spiritual pressure released from the man in front of them.

"Nilu, I know you are kind-hearted, but there are still rules to follow."

Lu Li glanced at the other new Espadas as he spoke, "I don't deny your ambition, but before you officially challenge the change of number, shouldn't you be a little respectful to your superiors?"
