Chapter 559: Team Zero and the Temporary Ending (5k8 for Monthly Tickets, I Can Afford to Kill for Supporting the Book)
The Zero Division above the Gotei 13 is also known as the Royal Agents. It is the highest-level unit dedicated to guarding the Soul King or guarding the stability of the Three Realms.
Because after the Soul King founded the Three Realms a million years ago, he was ambushed by the first generation of the five noble families, and his limbs were cut off and his internal organs were dug out and sealed. As a wedge to stabilize the Three Realms, he no longer has the ability to move, but without him, the Three Realms will collapse, so there must be such a unit.
From the earliest monk Eye to the present, the number of people in the Zero Division has only increased to five.
If Captain-General Yamamoto represents the history of the Gotei 13, these five people represent the history of the Soul Society. Only by making some kind of "history-making" move can you become a member of the Zero Division!
Not to mention the monk Eye, the sword god Oyue who created the prototype of the Zanpakutō, the great orimori Shutara Senjumaru who wove the death haki, and the Izumi Yuki Kirinji Tenshiro who developed medical skills, all of them are considered the great predecessors of the current death gods.
The youngest one was the former captain of the 12th Division a hundred years ago. The Valley King Hikifune Kiryu, who created temporary souls and whom Ji Xing had met, was roughly the same generation as Kyoraku Shunsui.
The Zero Division usually lived in the Soul King Palace above the Soul Society, which was separated from the Soul Society by 72 barriers and could not be reached by ordinary means. They rarely descended to the Soul Society.
But today, all members were dispatched.
When the exclusive mobile tool, the cylindrical Tenju Tank with the Zero Division logo, landed in Rukongai, many Shinigami also sensed it.
The leader who walked out of the Tenju Tank was none other than the Zero Division leader, the monk Hyoshubu Ichibei.
He wore a large, wide-sleeved haori, was bald, had very thick eyebrows and a beard that reached his chest, was tall and strong, and had a large crimson rosary hanging around his neck, like a large version of Lu Zhishen, with his hands naturally tucked into his sleeves.
Looking in the direction of Seireitei, the monk shook his head and laughed, "He really doesn't want to see us. His spiritual pressure is no longer in Seireitei."
Hearing this, the no longer slender Hikifune Kiryu sighed, "It seems that I won't be able to see Yono this time, and it seems that Hiyori is not in Seireitei either."
"Did he sense our arrival and leave early?" Kirinji Tenshiro said, "It's a dangerous person, Yono Mashi."
"Gone? What a pity. I'm still a little curious about him." Shutara Senjumaru said disappointedly, "The evil incarnation Aizen Sosuke who intends to resist the Soul King has also left? The flying speed of the Tenju Tank should really be increased."
"How can it be so easy to increase." The sword god Nimeiya Oyue, who was wearing wide-framed sunglasses, waved a Zanpakuto in his hand and said, "Let's talk about those things later. Let's end this war completely first."
The four people behind the monk looked at each other and nodded,
Then the five of them disappeared in an instant.
The movement of the monk with eyes was no longer a movement, it was even like shortening the distance between himself and the destination. In a few breaths, he came to the front of Captain Yamamoto.
Captain Yamamoto had a flowing blade on his waist, and his majestic eyes were slightly raised. He had sensed his arrival long ago, and said in a not-so-friendly tone: "What do you want to do for the Zero Squad who suddenly came to the Soul Society?"
For Captain Yamamoto who created the Soul Society, the Zero Squad had actually invited him, but was rejected by the captain. The two sides also agreed that the Soul Society would be managed by the Gotei 13, and the Zero Squad would not come to the Soul Society without special circumstances.
Facing such a captain, the monk with eyes just laughed heartily and stroked his beard lightly: "Kengui, how come your beard was cut as long as mine?"
The captain's eyes twitched, and he wanted to cut someone.
"Hahaha..." The monk with eyes didn't give him a chance to get angry, and changed the subject: "It's been nearly a thousand years, Yamamoto Shigekuni, you are no longer the sword ghost, you are so old, if you don't join the Zero Division to reconstruct your skeleton with the power of the Soul King, it will be difficult for you to live for another thousand years with your spiritual pressure.
And not only is your physical strength not as good as before, but your heart has also become soft, otherwise that 'Yono Mashi' would have been killed by you with your Bankai, and Yuglan Haschwald would not have escaped from you before."
The captain did not deny it, but said in a deep voice: "Your reason is that kid Yono Mashi?"
"One of them."
"Hmm?" The captain's face was slightly stern.
The monk with eyes also put away his bold smile and asked in a deep voice: "I know he guarded the Soul Society today, but if a second Soul King appears, can you imagine what this world will become?"
The captain's eyes widened.
"Hahaha..." The monk with the eyes smiled again and said, "It's just a possibility. He has this possibility and is more dangerous than Yhwach. More importantly, I can't see his background. I can only confirm that he does not belong to Soul Society, the real world, or Hueco Mundo, but he also... does not belong to Hell."
The captain remained silent.
...
Near the fourth division.
"Captain Unohana, it will be very dangerous if you get closer. Let me come, let me help Mr. Yoruichi. You should stay away from the battlefield..."
Seeing that Unohana Retsu was getting closer and closer to the battlefield between Yoruichi and Ulquiorra, Ichigo persuaded with a headache, but what responded to him was always Unohana Retsu's slightly strange and gentle smile.
"Uh... Be careful!"
Just at this moment, a figure came with a bang and stomped on the ground not far in front of them!
It was Yoruichi.
At this moment, Yoruichi's body was in a rather embarrassed state, and her physical strength was obviously severely exhausted, and her breathing was rapid. When she heard Ichigo's "Mr. Yoichi, are you okay?", she turned around and scratched the back of her head, and laughed heartily: "Really, I was planning to They tried to resolve the battle as quickly as possible, but as a result, this guy got stronger and stronger as he fought. It was so difficult to deal with that Yono had no time to help him at all.
But I really didn’t expect that, Senior Uozhihua, you would actually be interested in taking action today? "
Ichigo was stunned for a moment, then blinked: "...Huh?"
"Yes, Captain Yoruichi, leave it to me."
"Of course, of course, please."
Uozhihua Lie nodded slightly, walked forward across the night, looked at the black-winged demon fluttering in the sky in the distance, holding the handle of the knife.
Without an order, even though he knew that the situation was getting worse, Ulquiorra, who was still very tired, did not think about retreating, but at this moment facing Unohana Retsu, he had a strange feeling.
The woman was clearly standing on the ground, and she was only less than 170cm tall, but as she slowly drew the sword, she felt as if she was taller than anything else.
What is this fleeting feeling?
chill? fear?
He stretched out his hand to press the emptiness caused by the hole in his heart, pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly fluttered his wings and swooped towards Uozhihua!
The bodies intertwined, a trace of nostalgia for the feeling of fear flashed in Ulquiorra's eyes, and the black-winged demon fell to the ground with broken wings!
Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't help but widen his eyes and swallowed hard as he looked at Unohana Retsu who was sheathing his sword.
"Okay, so awesome...?!"
Why is the captain of the medical team so strong! In an instant, I killed the enemy I couldn't fight against Mr. Yoruichi for so long?
Bang bang bang——
At this time, applause suddenly sounded from the side, and Tenshiro Tenshiro of the Zero Squadron, Sentang Kikyrinji Temple, who had an airplane head, appeared instantly: "It seems that you have not forgotten the thousands of years of self-cultivation you have spent studying medical surgery with me. My own swordsmanship, Lie, your bloodthirsty and murderous intent are just hidden."
As he spoke, he waved to Yoruichi again: "Hey, Xiao Yoichi, long time no see. She has grown into a great beauty."
Yoruichi and Urahara Kisuke once practiced in Soul King Palace, and Urahara Kisuke even secretly learned how to use medical hot springs from the ghost of the spring bath.
"It was such a fierce battle that I didn't even realize that the Zero Squadron was actually here, Senior Sentang Ghost." Yoichi laughed and said, "No wonder the senior would take action."
"Yes, you just happened to do it when I arrived. You didn't show it to me, Lie." Tenshiro of Kirin Temple looked at Uozhihua Retsu and asked.
Unohana Retsu smiled and said, "I quite like that kid Yono Masashi. Whether it's his thirst for kendo, his bloody passion for fighting, or the fact that he made Zaraki's spiritual pressure begin to recover."
"In this way..." Kirinji Tenshiro looked at the woman who looked like a gentle elder sister in front of him, but was a famous evil man in Soul Society a thousand years ago and served as the first Kenpachi of Seireitei, and sighed: "Okay, I know what you mean, but for such a big thing, I can't say that."
…
Elsewhere, Harribel was in a very awkward position under the unreasonable 'game rules' of Jingraku Shunsui that he had just begun to understand, and was about to be unable to hold on any longer.
Jingraku Shunsui suddenly stopped and looked to the side.
"Yeah, Oori Mori-senpai, you're here just in time. It's really not in line with my habits to kill such a beauty."
"I hate greasy men like you the most, Shunsui." Shutara Senjumaru appeared on the side of the battlefield and looked at Harribel: "She is indeed a rare beauty in the virtual world, but... this kind of close I really can’t bear to look at the clothes I’m not wearing.”
I advise senior not to meddle in other people's business... You are envious of her having a better figure than you... Kyoryaku Shunsui cursed and turned his head away. The next moment he hurriedly flashed away and laughed dryly: "It's very dangerous, senior."
Needle? Harribel caught the weapon used by Shutara Senjumaru to attack Kyōraku Shunsui, and with some vigilance and concern, he stared at the sudden appearance of this elegant woman with a beautiful appearance, pale skin, and six skeletal arms who was called a senior.
The next moment, I felt a pain in the back of my neck, my pupils couldn't help but dilate, and I heard a soft voice.
"Let me help you knit a new suit of clothes."
Kyōraku Shunsui sighed with regret, and when Harribel died, he looked at Shutara Senjumaru again and said: "I think... the dispatch of Team Zero this time is probably related to Ye Mulang, right?"
Shutara Senjumaru looked at him and picked up the needle and thread lightly: "Yono Masashi is quite popular."
"Of course, he saved many, many lives today." Jingraku Shunsui said.
"Oh~ It makes me want to see you even more."
…
puff! puff! puff!
The sound of the knife cutting flesh and blood splattering kept sounding, and Omaeda stared stupidly.
"O-so awesome! Those Arrancars with numbers, actually, one by one?! Who is this afro wearing sunglasses? Is there such a powerful Shinigami in Seireitei?!"
This guy... seems to be... Zhifeng was thoughtful and surprised, but Ohmaeda's evaluation made her disagree. Have you forgotten the way you summoned Yono Mashi with a feather in your hand?
After all the enemies in front of her were cleared, the unmistakable voice she hated most suddenly sounded nearby.
"Oh, oh, oh, long time no see, Sword God Wang Yue-senpai, you are still as charming as ever." Urahara Kisuke appeared with a smile while shaking a small folding fan.
Wang Yue, who had a weird afro, also looked at him and gave him a thumbs up: "You solved the left hand so quickly? You are quite capable, Urahara."
"It's not there. In fact, it's all covered with bruises. It's just sutured up by force." Urahara Kisuke said with a smile: "I can still stand here and talk to my seniors now because of my willpower. The seniors came here this time for this purpose." A war? For Aizen Sosuke? Or... with Nosang?"
"Well..." Wang Yue said: "The latter two."
"As expected." Urahara Kisuke sighed softly: "Yono-san is not an easy person."
Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Zaihou slightly frowned. It turned out to be the guy from the Zero Squadron who was called a royal agent, but... Yono Masashi?
Wang Yue and Urahara Kisuke looked at her at the same time.
…
A few hours later.
With the arrival of the Zero Squadron, this war has come to a complete end. Those who have not escaped after their arrival will not be able to escape.
After a simple compilation of statistics, at 12 o'clock in the night, the captains and vice-captains once again gathered at the first team building for a meeting. This time, there was an additional zero team, and a few injured captains and deputy captains were missing. The nirvana of the teacher.
After everyone's explanations and summarization, everyone roughly understood the cause and course of today's war, as well as the general situation of casualties.
One-third of the building was damaged, and the number of casualties among the team members and officers was around a thousand. As for the nobles, including the massacre of Tsunayashiro Tomobu, the death toll was more than 300, and the property losses were incalculable.
The only good thing is that the captain and deputy captain only suffered serious injuries but no deaths. I am afraid that I have to... thank that person for this.
At this moment, most people in the conference room were shocked by the truth about the 'Soul Funeral Festival' due to Byakuya's narration, and were concerned about Aizen walking into hell.
The five members of the Zero Squadron murmured to each other for a while, seeming to be discussing what they had seen before. When the monk signaled to Captain Yamamoto, everyone returned to focus on them.
It was the first time for the young captain and deputy captain to come into contact with the Royal Agent Zero Division, and even some of them didn't know they existed.
The captain nodded and stepped aside, and Monk Yan stood beside him, saying: "I want to say two things. First, Aizen stepped into hell.
This matter is probably more serious than you think, and there is a danger of upsetting the balance. You can think of Soul Society, the real world, and Hueco Mundo as a lid, and hell as a big pit.
Normally, this lid is firmly pressed on the pit, and hell will only open its door when it attracts the most sinful people. But if this lid is lifted, even just a little bit, the evil ghosts of hell can open the door at any time. I think everyone should understand the consequences of appearing in the Three Realms. "
I didn’t understand it before and I understand it now. All strong men with captain-level spiritual pressure or above will fall into hell when they die. It is difficult to count how many strong men there are in hell!
"Aizen...can you lift this lid?" Hirako Mako asked in disbelief, tilting his head.
"Hahaha, I don't know." Monk Yan responded with a laugh: "But as long as there is such a risk, we must make corresponding preparations.
I just talked about balance, and the thing holding the lid down is Reiatsu. The spiritual pressure of all the creatures in the three realms suppresses the spiritual pressure of the creatures in hell, and the lid will be harder to cover. And you are all the ones holding the lid, especially Shigekuni Yamamoto, Masashi Yono, and the former Sosuke Aizen.
But now, Aizen Sosuke, who possesses powerful spiritual pressure, has entered hell and has become the one who wants to push the lid open, so the balance is slightly in danger. "
The captains were thoughtful, and Kyōraku Shunsui asked curiously: "In this case, why did the others kill those two Ten Blades just now?"
"They are just two, there is not much difference. After being polluted by the fumes of hell, it is very difficult for Aizen Soyousuke to keep them loyal to him. This will actually delay his progress." Wang Yue said.
"I see."
Hikifune Kiryu added: "In order to prevent the lid from being flipped, we are going to select some young shinigami with great potential to go to the Spirit King Palace to practice, increase their spiritual pressure, and tighten the lid firmly. Hahaha, I will entertain you all warmly."
Her eyes focused on Kuchiki Byakuya and Hitsugaya Toshiro. Kuchiki Byakuya, who had felt powerless many times today, looked at him. Hitsugaya Toshiro was also more positive about it, but Rangiku beside him was in a state of being distracted the whole time.
"Ah, that's it." Monk Yan touched his palm and said, "Then let's talk about the second thing, about the 'reincarnation' of the Shinigami, Yono Masashi!"
After the words fell, the scene suddenly became quiet, several people had subtle expressions, and several people exchanged glances with frowns.
Everyone in the Zero Division took all this into consideration, and the monk smiled and said: "He may have a more serious secret than Aizen Sosuke. But... it's just a possibility, so from today on, all matters related to Nozaki will be closed." , all belong to the Zero Division and we will personally judge and handle them.
Team Zero will strengthen the relationship with Team Gotei 13. You can interact with him, but you must report the details to us afterwards as appropriate! "
This was a lot softer than his original plan. After all, there was Hikifune Kiryu in the Zero Division who had a personal relationship with Yono Masashi, and the Gotei 13 was also grateful to him for today's battle.
It is natural to be grateful. Without him, it would be good if only half of the captain and deputy captain were left in front of us in today's battle. The captain had to use the swastika that would harm Soul Society, and there was even a risk of defeat.
"That will be very troublesome." Yoruichi complained with a nonchalant smile: "We will see each other often."
Urahara Kisuke smiled and added: "I'm afraid Hiyori-chan is the one who finds it more troublesome."
Hirako Mako was happy, she could imagine the reaction of that idiot Hiyori, but unfortunately she didn’t have the chance to see it with her own eyes, ha, little Aizen?
…
Now, Urahara Shoten.
"How's it going? Does the suit still fit?" Ji Xing asked the two people around him.
Ichimaru Gin straightened his collar and said, "It's been a long time since I've worn clothes other than the Death Boss outfit. I'm a little uncomfortable with it."
Stark also said: "Just so-so."
"It's quite a choice. Let's make do with it for now. You can make your own choice when you go to the mall by yourself." Ji Xing said: "But Stark, you really don't plan to return to Hueco Mundo. I have no intention of restricting your freedom."
Stark scratched his head and looked at Lilinette, who was arguing with Jinta not far away. One kid was yelling about killing the kid Xu, and another kid was yelling to teach the impolite kid a lesson. He took a deep breath and said, "Let's do this first. Okay, that’s good, but won’t it cause you trouble?”
"The troubles you two have are nothing compared to my own troubles." Ji Xing gave a somewhat convoluted answer and said with a smile: "Ichimaru Gin, you don't have to be in a hurry to see Matsumoto Rangiku. There is probably a gathering in Soul Society right now. , she will know about you, and then find a way to meet you in this world. "
Ichimaru Gin smiled with a foxy face, hiding more emotions: "Yes, I understand."
"Okay, in that case, you guys wait here, I have to meet a few people first."
He disappeared in an instant. Stark and Ichimaru Gin looked at each other and sat at the window. They looked at the night and the city in the present world. Life was on a different track. It felt... not bad.
Karakura Town, an abandoned warehouse.
Hiyori was sleeping soundly in the rocking chair.
As for the situation where 'Kouki Hirakawa' went to Soul Society, the Shinigami who were stationed in the present world to track Kouki Hirakawa's movements knew nothing about it, let alone the fierce battle that took place tonight, no, last night.
Hiyori only wondered, ‘Where on earth did that bastard Kouki Hirakawa go?’ He almost chased him even in his dreams.
When the familiar spiritual pressure descended here, the combat power benchmark Rokuri Kensai showed his level as a captain, and when Ji Xing's hand was about to touch Hiyori's head, he already shouted: "Hiyori!"
Swish——
Hiyori, who was originally lying down, dodged back a few meters, holding the handle of the knife in his hand and said angrily: "Idiot, Kensai! I almost sneaked up on him!"
She wrinkled her nose, looked at Ji Xing, and said fiercely: "You actually took the initiative to send me to my door? But idiot, you want to sneak attack on me, you are a hundred years too early!"
"Another hundred years?" Ji Xing said with a smile: "It took me a hundred years to catch up with your strength when I was at Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy. It's been a hundred years, how come it still takes me a hundred years to even sneak attack on you?" Oh, it’s really getting better as time goes by.”
"...?"
"!!!"
"you you you?!"
Hiyori's expression was wonderful at the moment.
Without saying a word, Ji Xing took a picture of Hiyori's emoticon and saved it to share with Urahara Kisuke Hirako Mako in the future. He put away the camera, stood at attention and said: "Vice Captain Hiyori, come and hit me!"
"...You idiot bald guy??!"
The shrill shouting and the rampaging lolita jumping around broke the silent night.
It’s the end of the month, don’t keep your monthly passes.
I’m exhausted from being with the hospital for four days, and I’ll finally be home tomorrow. But there won’t be a double update tomorrow, so I’ll continue the single update to take a break, adjust the time, and do a double update the day after tomorrow.
