Therefore, so of the Espada really wanted to see what was so great about this Uehara Shiroha. He had made a great na for himself by stepping on the corpses of Hueco Mundo and the Great Hollows. But that was just luck, they thought. They wanted Uehara Shiroha to understand that the current Hueco Mundo was no longer the sa as it was before. This was their territory, not a place where he could co and go as he pleased. Tis had changed!
Of course, among all the Espada, the one who valued Uehara Shiroha the most was Szayelaporro. He had suffered a great loss at the hands of Uehara. Back then, if he had not been seriously injured by Uehara Shiroha, he would not have split his soul in such a hurry.
Although Szayelaporro never thought that the path he chose was wrong, there was a world of difference between active choices and passive choices. This was a sha for him.
More importantly, Szayelaporro had not yet developed a way to counter Uehara Shiroha's ability. This was a sha among shas. For him who pursued perfection, Uehara Shiroha's powerful strength and existence was a thorn that stuck firmly in his heart.
So when the other Espada followed Aizen's orders and chose to wait and see, Szayelaporro had already taken active action. This ti, he wanted to take back everything he had lost.
At this mont, Aizen was showing the Hōgyoku to Orihi Inoue. The Hōgyoku was his most important secret.
Before he started, he even asked his two Arrancar subordinates, Loly and noly, to withdraw, leaving Orihi Inoue alone. The two subordinates who were driven out felt very unhappy.
The two female Arrancar said bitterly, "How could a woman like that be qualified to be alone with Master Aizen!?"
"What? That stinky human!"
Instantly, the two had a very bad impression of Orihi Inoue.
Ulquiorra, who was guarding the door, remained silent. He couldn't understand the fights between n, let alone the fights between won.
On the platform, Aizen had already activated his Reiatsu and opened the instrunt that contained the Hōgyoku. "Can you help take a look, Orihi Inoue?"
As his voice fell, a blue stone pillar rose from the platform. The top of the stone pillar cracked, revealing a round gem wrapped in a blue transparent cube.
The mysterious gem had an almost transparent glass shell, with a white-purple halo inside. This halo burned and jumped like a living fla, releasing an indescribable mysterious atmosphere.
"This feeling..." Feeling this energy, Orihi Inoue was suddenly startled, as if she realized sothing.
Noticing Orihi Inoue's expression, Aizen nodded and said, "It seems that you already know. Yes, this is the Hōgyoku. Because of its recent short awakenings, the power of the Hōgyoku is a little weakened. However, it is indeed moving towards a fully awakened state."
"Whether it is to transform a Hollow or create an Ōken, it is inseparable from the power of the Hōgyoku. So, this is my most important secret. I show it to you only because I believe in you. Your ability is very remarkable, and you can reject existing phenona. And this can help the Hōgyoku awaken as soon as possible. So, can I trust you and believe that your ability can be used by , Orihi?"
"Yes, Master Aizen!" Orihi Inoue answered without hesitation. Her tone was very firm, but her eyes were a little empty.
"Very good!" Looking at the girl in front of him who seed to be about to break down, Aizen showed a very smug smile.
After returning to her room, Orihi Inoue thought silently, "I don't believe what that man said. He definitely didn't show the Hōgyoku because he trusted . He must have other purposes. Although I can't guess what he's thinking, I now know the location of the Hōgyoku, and my ability is to reject reality. Through my ability, the Hōgyoku can enter a fully awakened state in advance."
Thinking of the news that Ulquiorra had brought about Ichigo Kurosaki and the others coming to Hueco Mundo, she looked into the distance and confird her thoughts:
"Thank you for coming to save , Ichigo! But I also want to do sothing. Moreover, there must be sothing that only I can do. That is to delay ti until everyone is ready."
Although Orihi Inoue looked silly and seed to be easily deceived, now she stood out as a sober person. If she wasn't scheming and strong enough, she, a helpless little girl, would not have been able to grow up healthily.
At the sa ti, Ichigo Kurosaki had passed through the rock passage and ca to a palace guarded by Arrancar.
And Aizen, sitting on his throne, laughed with satisfaction. Orihi Inoue's performance and self-sacrifice did not surprise him. However, the arrival of Ichigo Kurosaki and Uehara Shiroha surprised him very much. One of them had unlimited potential, and the other had countless trump cards. These two Shinigami were so interesting!
Under deliberate arrangent, Ichigo Kurosaki t the eccentric "Storm Baron," also known as Arrancar No. 103, Dordoni Alessandro Del Socaccio.
The three-digit Arrancars were all forr Espada, and they were also abandoned Espada. They were the eliminated Espada.
These Arrancars used to be Espada, but because of insufficient strength or other reasons, they lost the title and beca three-digit Arrancars.
Ichigo Kurosaki already knew about the origin of the three-digit Arrancars. Because the strength of these forr Espada was definitely not as good as the current Espada, Ichigo stubbornly did not want to use Bankai.
On the one hand, he wanted to retain his strength to deal with stronger enemies in the future; on the other hand, if he had to use all his strength to face such an eliminated Espada, how could he defeat an opponent of the Espada level like Grimmjow?
Then, Ichigo was severely taught a lesson by the Storm Baron. It was just that his current state was unstable and his strength fluctuated greatly. He had a serious lack of understanding and control of his own power.
And Dordoni was the kind of person who looked funny but really had substance in battle. With his current strength or ntality, it was impossible for Ichigo to defeat Dordoni with only Shikai.
The opponent proved with strength that even if he was an abandoned Espada, he was once an Espada, and he was not trash that could be easily dismissed.
After a fight, the stubborn Ichigo was almost beaten into a pulp. Ichigo, who was in a delicate period, realized that he had underestimated his opponent.
So, he activated his Bankai and donned his Hollow mask, giving Dordoni the due respect he wanted.
Storm Baron Dordoni had always hoped that Ichigo Kurosaki would use his Bankai and fight seriously. However, he didn't expect the other party to be so serious and respectful. Unsurprisingly, he was defeated on the spot, and then he was killed by the "Exequias" team led by Rudobōn.
The Exequias were similar to the Onmitsukidō of the Gotei 13. They were a team that specialized in dealing with their own people and were responsible for handling Arrancars who failed in combat.
The captain of this special team was Arrancar No. 61, Rudobōn. After all, Las Noches was not like the underground passage, where the defeated Arrancar could be destroyed at will. Therefore, only this special force led by Rudobōn could deal with the losers.
Again, Las Noches did not keep useless people.
But this ti, Rudobōn had other purposes, which were to hunt down the injured invader Ichigo Kurosaki and collect the Reiatsu of Uehara Shiroha. The forr was easy to accomplish, but the latter made him a little unsure.
Because to so extent, Uehara Shiroha was a taboo existence like Aizen and Baraggan. In Hueco Mundo, the na of the "White Devil" represented death. If you t this person, you t the real Shinigami.
This person's na was built on the sea of blood and corpses composed of countless Hollows. It was said that in recent years, this person had no interest in Hueco Mundo and hunting Hollows, otherwise it was unknown how many Hollows would have died at his hands.
So even if he received orders from the Octava Espada Szayelaporro, Rudobōn still decided to stay away from Uehara Shiroha.
As for the injured Shinigami in front of him? I'm sorry, he would take his head.
Like Ichigo, Uryū Ishida and Yasutora Sado also encountered two three-digit Arrancars.
Uryū Ishida encountered the "Yo-Yo Girl," that is, Arrancar No. 105, Cirucci Sanderwicci. The weapon of this forr Espada particularly resembled a yo-yo, combining speed, flexibility, and power. She wore a princess dress and was dressed rather strangely.
Yasutora Sado encountered Arrancar No. 107, Gantenbainne Mosqueda, whose Zanpakutō was called Dragra. Gantenbainne and Yasutora Sado had a sense of mutual respect. Both of their fighting styles were full of passion.
After battle, Uryū Ishida and Yasutora Sado realized that even the eliminated Espada should not be underestimated. If the forr Espada were already so strong, how strong must the current Espada be?
However, even so, they still had no intention of backing down. In order to save their companions, whether it was the forr Espada or the current Espada, they would defeat them all.
In the Hueco Mundo desert, Uehara Shiroha's Observation Haki swept across the landscape. He did not pay attention to the " fights" between Ichigo Kurosaki and the others.
For him, only the battles of the Espada were worth watching. At this mont, he focused his attention on the deeper power of the world. Combining the Unlimited Blade Works and the extrely real world laws in the sky, Uehara Shiroha stretched out his right hand and gently launched Reiatsu at the desert.
In an instant, a seedling broke through the soil. For the first ti, Hueco Mundo, which had been desolate for countless thousands of years, was rejuvenated and ushered in new life.
"What is this?" Nel's eyes widened. Her eyes were shining like light bulbs, and she even drooled. "It looks delicious!"
Uehara Shiroha retracted his right hand, looked at the ever-changing cold crescent moon in the sky, and replied calmly, "You can think of this as a required course to beco God!"
"A compulsory course for God? What is that?" Little Nel tilted her head, looking confused, very cute.
Uehara Shiroha stood with his hands behind his back. "With your intelligence, it's hard for to explain it to you. This is not sothing you should consider. What you should do most now is to beco a qualified maid."
As a maid, Nel was really unqualified. She could be said to be the worst maid that Uehara Shiroha had ever ordered.
Normally, she was like a hyperactive child, always busy and screaming. When she was asked to hamr his shoulders and massage, she was like a sleepyhead, and could even fall asleep. She could sleep while standing, which was also a gift.
Moreover, she had no sense of boundaries and was shaless. If you gave her a little encouragent, she dared to use the "rocket headbutt" on him.
As an energetic and tough kid, Nel could still provide so emotional value, but she really deserved a beating.
Uehara Shiroha also understood why Nnoitra didn't kill Nel even after a sneak attack and a secret plot. Nel was naturally lively and active, very energetic, and had very strong vitality. It was indeed not easy to kill her.
Hearing the word "maid," Nel instantly wilted, and she was just about to put on a pained expression, muttering, "It is impossible to work, not in this lifeti."
Shiroha ignored her and looked at the sapling that was gradually withering under his feet. At first glance, his technique was not as good as Yamato's "house-building technique," and was a bankrupt version of Wood Release.
But in the world of Shinigami, in Hueco Mundo, this move had imasurable significance and potential.
Uehara Shiroha was now certain that this world was really an idealistic existence. The power of the mind and soul had unimaginable power.
In this world, it was not matter that determined the world, but will that determined the world and determined power. Will had substantial power and could even determine the direction and composition of the world.
Whether it was the power of the Shinigami, the power of the Quincy, or the power of the Hollow, they all had their own characteristics or will. It was like every person's soul had certain traits. This trait corresponded to authority, rules, and powerful abilities.
Because of this, the power of the Shinigami had the ability to purify Hollows and guide souls, and could extend the four basic abilities of Zankensoki (sword, spirit energy, body, and demon arts); the power of the Quincy had the characteristics of controlling Reishi and annihilating spirits.
The source of these two abilities could be traced back to the Soul King. It could be said that the power of the Shinigami and the power of the Quincy both had part of the will of the Soul King and were an extension of his soul power. Similar to the relationship between the Sage of Six Paths and Chakra.
Uehara Shiroha guessed that the will represented by the Soul King should be the will of the original world, that is, the power of order and boundaries.
In the final analysis, it was the ergence of the primordial world that ended the chaotic era in which spirits and souls no longer existed.
The will represented by the Hollow was the will of chaos. With such a will, the strongest ancient Hollow could devour all spirits and souls, returning the world to the chaotic era.
At this ti, the Soul King appeared. He killed the ancient Hollow that could devour the world, and sacrificed himself to beco a wedge, stabilizing the three realms and continuing the primordial era.
In the eyes of Uehara Shiroha, the power of the Hollow and the will of the Hollow were nothingness. This was the chaotic power that returned the world to nothingness.
In this respect, Ulquiorra was worthy of being a natural Hollow, and was the existence closest to the origin of the Hollow.
Because of the existence of boundaries, in the past, souls and various races had insurmountable limits. The power of the Hollow could break boundaries, and Hollowification could naturally break racial limits.
For souls, boundaries must exist. This was a constraint on them and also a protection for them. Therefore, for the Shinigami, Hollowification had the risk of losing control and might even cause the soul to self-annihilate.
But now, Uehara Shiroha had distorted the rules to so extent. He constructed a boundary that was not affected by the power of the Hollow. He influenced the rules of Hueco Mundo with his personal will and created vitality that did not belong to Hueco Mundo.
This was a power that only gods could have. Uehara Shiroha created this miracle with the body of a Shinigami, which was truly surpassing the gods with a mortal body.
