"According to the news from Urahara Kisuke and Captain Hitsugaya, in addition to the rebellious Aizen Sosuke and his Arrancar Legion, our current enemies also have two apostles."
In Soul Society, in the Jōreitei 1st team building, Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni is having a captain meeting.
In addition to the Thirteenth Team, there are also Alice and Liang Yue from the demon world who have a deep understanding of the apostles. It can be said that they have gathered 99% of the current combat power in the Soul Society.
He told the current investigation information, "Now, an apostle has controlled Shifouin Yoruichi and Inoue Orihime. Urahara Kisuke suspects that it is the apostle who wants to use Inoue Orihime's ability to heal."
"Orihime's ability is indeed far beyond the healing effect of Kaidou." Captain Unohana Retsu of the Fourth Squadron said, "If it were her, she might indeed be able to heal the seriously injured apostle."
"According to my judgment..." Alice also said, "Inoue Orihime's ability is not 'return to time and space', but 'rejection of matters'. It can be said to be an ability that has already touched upon the realm of God."
"If Inoue Orihime can really restore the apostle, we may have to be ready..."
"Be prepared...to face the apostles in their prime."
The apostles in their prime... For thousands of years, the apostles they encountered were either seriously injured or incomplete. They had never encountered a truly prosperous apostle, and now...
Are they finally up to this challenge?!
Everyone's hearts are heavy. Regardless of whether they have ever actually fought against an apostle or not, this title represents an absolute power.
"We can't sit still and wait for death."
Liang Yue said in a deep voice, "No matter how powerful Inoue Orihime is, it is impossible for the apostle to recover immediately."
No matter how powerful your ability is, it is useless if your own level is not good enough.
Inoue Orihime's ability has no effect at all against the Spirit King. This is of course caused by the different dimensions between humans and gods, but also because of the huge difference in spiritual pressure between the two.
So what Liang Yue said, everyone can understand that even if the apostle himself takes the initiative to bless Inoue Orihime's ability, it will definitely take time for a human to recover himself, but I'm afraid...
What other methods did the apostle have?
"I will go to Hueco Mundo with Captain Unohana." Looking at the surprised captains, Liang Yue said fearlessly, "Actually, before this, we have also noticed that there is an 'Eight Thousand Ryu' in Hueco Mundo."
The spiritual pressure is fluctuating. At this moment, the group is not only trying to deal with the apostles, but also to recover an important fighting force."
"If there are only teachers and Captain Unohana..." Ukitake said with some worry, "It's still too dangerous to face the apostles. It's better to have more people."
"That's enough. After all, we are not going to fight the apostles directly. We are just exploring information. We don't need too many people. If there are too many people, they will attract attention and be detrimental to the investigation." The strength of Liang Yue and Mao Zhihua, even if they encounter
It is enough to ensure your own safety even if you are in danger, but if there are more people, it will be chaotic when there are more people, and trouble will happen when there are more people.
In fact, before the captain meeting, they and Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni had already decided on this matter.
"Just as Speaker Liang Yue said, before the news comes back, all captains must stick to their responsibilities and be ready for battle!"
"Whether...for Aizen...or for the apostles."
After the meeting, Unohana opened her dark voice, and the two came to Hueco Mundo again.
"Every time I come here, it gives me a different experience." Uozhihua looked indifferent. This was not the first time she came to Hueco Mundo, but every time she came...
Almost always at this moment of life and death...
"Who made this world so precarious?" Liang Yue smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Let's go, we carry the future of the Three Realms on our shoulders."
………………
While Liang Yue and others were preparing to search for clues, Hitsugaya, who was in Karakura Town in the present world, also made new gains.
On the night when Orihime disappeared, he was lying on the roof of Orihime's house, still holding the scale pendant given to him by Genichi in his hand, and then he remembered what Kurosaki Ichigo said.
The Bone Prison Breath was originally just a child. After climbing an iceberg, he encountered a giant dragon and became what he was because of the giant dragon.
Ice dragon...
Scales…
Then Yuan Yi appeared around the Bone Prison Breath again, and both incidents were related to Yuan Yi...
He kept thinking in his mind, and then fell into a deep sleep after thinking about it.
After falling asleep, I came to a world of ice and snow in a somewhat hazy state. It looked very much like Hyōrinmaru's space, but there was no Hyōrinmaru's spiritual pressure here.
There was a strong wind in the ice world, and the wind was biting. Hitsugaya looked around in confusion, and then moved forward against the wind.
He felt someone calling him in front of him.
Phew~
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the extreme cold invaded his body, making his whole body chill. His feet seemed to be frozen, and every step he took was extremely difficult.
"..." Snowflakes were floating in the strong wind, accumulating little by little on Hitsugaya's body. His body was getting colder and colder. In this environment, he seemed to see the back of a child in front of him.
little child...
Just like Kurosaki said...
Hitsugaya shouted "Are you calling me?"
However, in the heavy snow and strong wind, the sound was quickly buried, and it was not known whether it reached the children's ears. Toshiro could only continue to move forward, and his ghostly hand seemed to have no effect here.
, or the effect is very small.
He gradually began to feel numbness in his limbs, and his movements became increasingly difficult and slow.
"Bone Hell Breath!"
Just when he was about to lose consciousness, Hitsugaya gritted his teeth again and called out the name.
But this time it seemed that the message finally reached the child's ears. He turned his head, his vision blurred in the snow and wind, but Toshiro could also see that it was a boy of Western race.
"My name is Charlie"
He turned his head and seemed to be very disgusted with the name "Bone Hell Breath".
"Charlie?"
Hitsugaya remembered the name. "You were absorbed into the ghost's hands by me... that child, right? What have you experienced? Who is that ice dragon?!"
"...Scatha."
Charlie was silent for a moment, and then his voice faintly reached Hitsugaya's ears.
"The ice dragon Skatha, the ice dragon that brought disaster and destruction to the world, you... also have his power."
Of course, Hitsugaya subconsciously put his hand under his neck, and the pendant seemed to be copied into his consciousness, including its power essence.
This dragon scale is indeed that of the ice dragon, but why did the teacher give it to me?
Teacher... what does it have to do with the ice dragon?
