Chapter 694 My head is itchy, I need to grow a brain
On the eastern outskirts of Karakura Town, a gigantic gate of hell stood between heaven and earth, and an eerie and terrifying aura was constantly encroaching on the surroundings.
Ordinary people cannot see this door, but if they pass by it, they will feel cold all over and may faint the next moment.
Fortunately, there is a strong man in Karakura Town now, who discovered the abnormal situation here at the first time. Ichigo Kurosaki and his friends arrived in time, evacuated the crowd, and watched the door with full readiness.
"Kurosaki-san, more and more evil spirits are rushing towards us!"
Inoue Orihime said anxiously while using her ability to heal injured civilians. She didn't expect to encounter such a thing less than a month after the war ended.
The so-called peaceful daily life is too short.
"Don't worry, I won't let them enter Karakura Town!"
With confidence on his face, Ichigo Kurosaki slashed out with a crescent cross, directly destroying a large number of evil spirits and shaking the gate of hell.
His strength was at a level that was difficult for ordinary people in this world to understand. He even felt that he could violently chop the door into pieces. However, his master also warned him that if he exerted his full strength in today's world, even the heaven and earth might collapse.
After becoming familiar with his own strength, Ichigo Kurosaki now has a rough idea of it. He knows that if his attack is not handled properly, not to mention Karakura Town, the Crescent Cross Strike may directly wipe Neon off the map.
Therefore, he was quite cautious when making his moves. He was always controlling his strength and had to ensure that his strength was not directed towards the ground but rather dispersed into the air.
"Ichigo, Inoue and I will be responsible for leading the civilians to evacuate, you block the door and cut inside!"
Chad shouted, his power was strong compared to the average Shinigami, but far inferior to Ichigo and Ishida.
He was unable to help in the last war, and the war was over when he arrived, which made him feel bad.
He had clearly sworn in his heart that he would always fight alongside Ichigo, but now he no longer has the strength to do so.
"Kurosaki, everything is fine in Karakura Town. I'm worried about other things."
Ishida said with a frown as he assisted Ichigo in clearing out the evil spirits.
They are now like the heroes who have cleared the Demon King's Castle. They will naturally feel easy when they go back to fight the small BOSS halfway. However, Ishida knows that hell is not simple. He suspects that this situation of eroding the real world is not only happening in Karakura Town.
"What is going on? Why is Hell invading the Three Realms?"
Ichigo Kurosaki became a little anxious when he heard this. He had always thought that Hell was under the jurisdiction of Soul Society. After all, the God of Death is always accompanied by the Hell Butterfly.
"I don't know either, but I'm afraid... it has something to do with the previous war."
Ishida analyzed solemnly, "Too many powerful spiritual pressures have fallen into hell, and too many strong people have disappeared in the three realms."
Not to mention special cases like Youhabach and Hyoshube Ichibei, they will not fall into hell after death, and no one will perform special soul burials for them.
However, some powerful Quincy with imperfect morals may fall into hell, which will affect the balance of spiritual pressure.
In addition, Hell was previously under the spiritual pressure of powerful figures such as Hyoshubu Ichibei and Yhwach, and now that they are all dead, the balance will naturally be unbalanced.
Just as they were busy dealing with the evil spirits from hell, a gate opened in the sky and figures from the Thirteen Court Guard Squads walked out of it.
"Kenpachi? Captain Ichimaru, Captain Hirako!?"
When Ichigo saw these people, he was surprised and knew that reinforcements had arrived.
"Ichigo, you did a great job, but leave the rest to the Gotei 13."
Hirako twirled his Zanpakutō and walked down with a smile.
"What are you talking about? This is my hometown. As the acting god of death, of course I have to protect it."
Ichigo said as he worked hard to slash a few more times towards the Hell's Gate.
"Ichigo, you look much stronger than before. You're worth a fight."
Kenpachi rushed down with a smile that looked ferocious to Ichigo, and chopped down a group of evil spirits with one sword at the gate of hell.
"If you want to spar, you can do it anytime. Get rid of the enemy in front of you first."
Ichigo said seriously that he was no longer afraid of Zaraki's murderous intent and he was eager to spar with this strong man again to gain some combat experience.
With the arrival of the Gotei 13, the situation in Karakura Town was stabilized and no evil spirits could escape. Orihime Inoue also met up with the soldiers of the 4th Division to treat the civilians who were injured by the opening of the Hell's Gate.
Swish-
Two figures appeared above the Gate of Hell, they were Lu Li and Aizen.
"Captain."
The Gotei tai's morale was boosted when they saw the captain-general in person.
"Master, Captain Aizen, what are you doing?"
Ichigo was a little confused. To be honest, he felt that the evil spirits in the Hell's Gate were of average strength and he could handle it alone. He didn't know what the Gotei 13 were doing with such a big fuss, even his master and Captain Aizen were here.
"Ichigo, you guard this door, we need to go in and take a look."
Lu Li said with a smile, and as he spoke, spiritual pressure and gravity exploded, crushing the group of evil spirits rushing towards him in hell into powder.
"Go to hell?"
Ichigo was stunned for a moment, then responded, "I'll go too."
"No, the world still needs strong men like you to take charge. Sosuke and I can go on this trip."
Lu Li waved his hand, without explaining too much to Ichigo, and walked into hell with Aizen.
Passing through the Gate of Hell is like passing through a membrane, from the air into the water, with an uncomfortable feeling of suffocation.
This feeling is caused by the ominous atmosphere of hell and the excessive concentration of lepton-like energy in hell.
The properties of these energies are special. In the real world, they are made up of instruments, in Soul Society, they are made up of spirit particles, and the same is true for most of the Hueco Mundo. However, some special abilities used by the Hollows, such as Hibiki, are actually driven by energies similar to those in Hell.
So Lu Li tentatively called this energy Xuzi.
The concentration of Kyoshi in Hell is too high. Compared to Soul Society, it is like liquid compared to gas. Plus, the Shinigami mainly use Reishi as the basic driving force for energy, so they naturally feel uncomfortable.
"It's a strange place, completely different from the Three Realms system. This kind of energy counteracts the spirit particles, and they may annihilate each other when they collide."
Aizen sensed the space and analyzed.
"So after millions of years, Soul Society still can't do anything to Hell. Just from the overall energy perspective, Hell has been devouring this place since the Chaos World period, and its energy level has long surpassed the Three Realms."
Lu Li looked at the creatures in hell and said that he felt that the creatures here were generally powerful. Whether they would suffer in hell was not discussed for the time being, but after coming here, every creature would be strengthened and much stronger than when they were alive.
As he spoke, he planted the seeds of the sacred tree into the ground beneath his feet, wanting to see if he could use the birth of the sacred tree to absorb the power of this world for his own use.
But he was surprised to find that after the seeds of the sacred tree were planted in the ground, they were targeted by an erosive force and quickly withered, unable to absorb the energy of hell. Compared with the gentle power of the three realms, the power of hell was too overbearing and inherently had a certain degree of "toxicity", so it was impossible to absorb it directly.
Lu Li felt that the God.Tree Realm Descent could be used, but it would take some time to study and adjust. Only after analyzing the power here could he absorb it and transform it into increasing his own power.
However, the fairy seeds in his body can still operate at full power in hell. Not only that, but their absorption efficiency is higher than that in Soul Society and Hueco Mundo.
It seems that the fairy seed is not picky about the type of energy. As long as it is energy, it can be absorbed and converted into soul source.
After confirming that the sacred tree's means were useless, Lu Li directly began to add status to himself, activating a series of abilities such as Shura Jue to raise his attributes.
Those abilities that increase all attributes will also improve his spiritual attributes and increase his soul source limit, which will allow him to summon a stronger Yhwach.
"Come out, Youhabach."
When Lu Li was in his peak state, he summoned Yhwach first. With the bonus of the Animal Realm, Yhwach reached the peak of his life.
"My lord, please give me your orders."
Yhwach knelt on one knee, and the powerful aura emanating from him frightened the surrounding evil spirits.
As Lu Li recovered his soul source, he asked, "How much do you know about hell?"
The creatures he summoned in Valhalla were very magical. They were not mindless puppets, but were absolutely loyal.
According to the skill description, the Yhwach in front of him is the powerful enemy he defeated in the past, and is a replica of Yhwach's peak state. So what Yhwach knows, the summoned creature in front of him should also know.
"In reply to my Lord, Hell is powerful and has been mysterious since ancient times. I originally planned to unify the three realms as one and then fight against Hell as a whole."
Yhwach said, "As for the ultimate enemy in hell, I don't know either."
Lu Li was a little speechless when he heard this, thinking that Yhwach didn't even know what was going on in Hell, so he wanted to cause trouble in the three realms?
What if after the three realms are unified they are still unable to resist the invasion of Hell?
"Aren't you omniscient and omnipotent?"
Lu Li asked again, and Aizen looked over here curiously, wanting to hear what Yhwach had to say.
"I'm sorry to disappoint my lord. I am the son of the Soul King. In the closed world created by the power of the Soul King, I can indeed control the development of things, know everything, and tamper with the future and reality through my power."
"But Hell is not a world created by the Soul King. My omniscience and omnipotence are completely ineffective here."
"Mr. Lu, it seems that we may have already won when we dragged Yhwach into the final battle in hell."
Aizen said jokingly, he also knew that this was unrealistic, Yhwach would never give them the chance to send him to hell.
In the three realms created by the Soul King, Yhwach is omniscient and omnipotent, making it difficult to plot against him.
Even if they are reunited, it will be a fusion led by Yhwach. He will still be omniscient and omnipotent in the new world and will not give up his martial arts.
"This is troublesome..."
Lu Li looked at Yhwach in disappointment, "I was counting on you to help deal with Hell, but now it seems you're just a super soldier."
Without the omniscient and omnipotent Yhwach, in Lu Li's opinion, apart from slightly higher attributes, there is no other advantage.
"I'm sorry to disappoint my Lord."
Yhwach said in a sincere tone.
"Forget it, he's an expert after all, so he won't be a drag. Let's go deeper first."
Lu Li’s idea was very simple. Go to the place with the most energy, find the strongest enemy, kill him, and everything will be over.
Aizen raised his hand and gently touched his brow, then looked at Lu Li, "Mr. Lu, do you know which way to go? Where is the depth?"
Lu Li was speechless for a moment. The main quest asked him to defeat the Lord of Hell, so he knew that there was indeed a powerful person in Hell, but he didn't know where the other person was.
The world of Bleach is very big. Take Soul Society as an example. Seireitei looks small in the comics, but in reality it is as big as a neon sign.
As for the Soul King Palace, Sosuke casually mentioned in the comics that he could pull it down, but the Soul King Palace is as far away from the Seireitei as the distance between the earth and the moon.
The size of the entire Soul Society is actually quite astonishing, far exceeding the surface area of the earth in common sense, and this is just one of the three realms.
As a complete world that can continuously erode the three realms, the scale of hell is difficult to estimate.
"Then I'll listen to Sosuke."
Lu Li said embarrassedly and gave up thinking.
Aizen pondered for a moment, took out a piece of cardboard, carved eight directions on it, and handed it to Lu Li, "Mr. Lu, can your space-travelling power still be used here?"
Lu Li tried it and found that although the space of Hell was solid and stable and a bit difficult to use, Yomiuri Birasaka was still effective.
"Okay, Sosuke, do you want me to conduct a thorough search?"
Lu Li pointed at the eight dots drawn on the paper, somewhat puzzled.
"No, let's teleport in these eight directions with the present as the center. I'll explain it to you later."
Aizen shook his head, thinking that explaining these scientific theories to Lu Li was too complicated, so he decided to get the results first.
Ten minutes later, Lu Li looked at Aizen, who was writing, drawing and calculating there after the last transmission, and was confused.
"Okay, let's go that way."
After Aizen stood up, he pointed in a direction.
"why?"
Lu Li asked curiously.
"I analyzed the concentration of virtual particles in eight directions, and based on the concentration difference between the directions and distances, I made the following calculations..."
Aizen started to explain to Lu Li the principle of the calculation and his reasoning logic, but was interrupted by Lu Li.
Lu Li raised his hand with a serious expression, "Stop talking, Sosuke, I believe you!"
He had only heard the beginning when he began to feel itchy on his head and wanted to grow a brain.
If I listened to it, how many brain cells would die?
Seeing this, Aizen smiled helplessly and shook his head, "Let's go, if I'm not mistaken, we should meet some acquaintances ahead."
Lu Li didn't ask any more questions and directly opened Yomi Hirasaka and teleported in the direction Aizen pointed.
In order to prevent the transmission from being too deviated or being buried by the earth, he only transmitted 100,000 kilometers at a time.
After the two of them walked forward for a while, they really ran into an acquaintance just as Aizen had said.
