Xuanhao answered calmly, "Kurosaki Ichigo is just one of them. The person I choose will become my eyes and maintain the 'peace' of this world after I leave, so he has the power to dominate the world."
'It's a must. Even if they don't have it...I will help them get it."
So...is this a training for Kurosaki-san and the others?
Inoue Orihime finally felt relieved.
After knowing Xuanhao's plan, she finally understood the other party's good intentions.
This person doesn't really want to destroy the world, he just wants to reshape the rules of the entire world.
This sounds like an incredible thing. Collecting souls and reshaping the world sounds more like something that only a 'god' can do.
"So...what do I need to do?"
Orihime Inoue asked.
She knew that the man in front of her did this mainly because she was thinking about it. It was impossible for this man to deceive her. How could a brother who traveled across countless worlds to find his sister make such a joke? If doing so could really make her
If the world becomes a better place, she wants to help.
"You don't need to do anything, but don't tell them about this before I complete 'The World'. If there is no sense of crisis, then training will become meaningless."
Xuan Hao responded with a smile, raised his hand and picked up the remote control on the table by the window, and turned on the old TV in the room.
"From here, you can see what Kurosaki Ichigo and the others are going through at the moment. It may be a bit cruel. I just hope that you can stay calm no matter what you see. They will not really 'die'. Even if they die, I will be resurrected."
They, when they come here, you can go back with them, and then...just follow your own ideas, and if you want to help them, just go and help them."
"Is this enough..." Inoue Orihime asked hesitantly.
"certainly."
"Thank you, brother."
Hearing such a confident answer, Inoue Orihime sincerely thanked the man in front of her.
Xuanya told her that these were 'compensations' for the impact on her fate, but she felt that they were 'gifts'. This man not only filled the vacancy after the death of her biological brother Inoue Hao, but also turned her into the whole world.
'Beloved'. There is probably no one in this world who is luckier than her.
············
"Rukia, what do you...mean?"
On the other side, four teenagers nervously asked Kuchiki Rukia who appeared in front of them.
After all, the other party asked a strange question like 'Do you want to die?', and they were a little unsure whether Lucia standing in front of them was an enemy or a friend.
"literal meaning……"
Kuchiki Rukia slowly took back the Zanpakutō in her hand and spoke with some emotion in her tone.
"I'm here to tell you that it will be very dangerous if you continue to move forward, and you will really die. Especially... you."
As she said that, she looked at Renji Abarai.
In addition, she, the other three people, and Aizen all gave guarantees to Inoue Orihime, but Renji, who had just arrived in Hueco Mundo, did not. Without guarantees, he would not necessarily be resurrected by that man, so among everyone present now, A
Renji Zakai is probably the person in the most dangerous situation.
"Ah? What exactly is going on?"
Abarai Renji looked puzzled, "Is it possible that I am weaker than these three guys in your mission!? Wait... you just said...'you'? Lucia... you don't know how to..."
"Don't worry, I'm still on your side."
Rukia Kuchiki interrupted Renji Abarai's speculation and said helplessly, "I'm sorry that I can't tell you the specific situation, but what I just said was not a joke to you. If you want to see that man or even bring him back to Inoue,
...You will really die."
"It seems that you learned something about the situation in Xuye Palace?" Ishida Uryu adjusted his glasses, grasped the key to the other party's words, and asked calmly, "Have you seen that man?"
"No, I... we are not qualified to see him at all." Rukia Kuchiki shook her head regretfully, "We were able to come back alive only because of our past 'favor' and Inoue's request. That's why I asked
Questions like yours just now... If we want to see that man, we have to clear all the obstacles in front of us and rely on our strength to walk in front of that man. Do you... really have the consciousness of death? "
"Isn't this... nonsense?"
Kurosaki Ichigo held Zangetsu's sword hilt in his hand and grinned, "That's exactly why we're here."
"Okay, I'll go with you. But..."
With that said, Kuchiki Rukia's eyes moved to Renji Abarai again, "Renji, go back."
"Why!?"
Abarai Renji looked puzzled, "I have become stronger than before! I won't lose to these guys!"
"It's not a matter of strength or weakness."
Kuchiki Rukia answered expressionlessly, "You should be very clear about the current situation. The strength is no longer important, because no matter how strong you are, you can't threaten that man, even if Captain Yamamoto comes.
Yes, it’s the same with you.”
"this……"
Renji Abarai was speechless for a moment.
"Don't you understand? What's important here now is not strength, but 'humanity'." Rukia Kuchiki said with a little helplessness in her tone, "These three idiots and I still have some friendship with that man.
Your situation is the most dangerous. So go back... You must have come to Hueco Mundo alone because you were worried about us, right? And my idiot brother actually let you come here without any worries. It's really enough.
Already."
Speaking, Rukia Kuchiki cast a reassuring smile towards Renji Abarai.
"Tsk."
Abarai Renji smacked his lips slightly, turned around with the knife in his hand and prepared to leave.
"Damn it! I understand! But you guys have to promise not to push too hard. If that man really wants to kill you regardless of his feelings, then retreat."
"Don't worry, we promise to go back in good condition..."
Kuchiki Rukia smiled helplessly.
Yes, I did return 'in good condition', but I don't know how many times I 'died' on the way.
She was somewhat grateful for her decision to come to Hueco Mundo.
If he doesn’t come, he might really follow Captain Yamamoto in a so-called ‘death battle’, right?
That's just a pointless struggle.
That man... a terrifying existence that could control life and death at the palm of his hand, has long been beyond the understanding of the world.
Confrontation? There is no chance of winning.
But fortunately, things didn't come to the worst.
Because she heard clearly what Aizen said was a 'trial'.
So the question is, why did that man conduct a 'trial' on them?
There can't be any reason at all, right?
Although she didn’t know what the purpose was, her intuition told Kuchiki Rukia that the key to this matter seemed to be this ‘trial’.
All they can do now is accept this 'trial' and complete it. In that case, they will be qualified to go to that man in person, and maybe they can ask something by then.
Soon, after confirming that Abarai Renji had really left, Kuchiki Rukia looked at the three people who stayed.
"Let's go, I know the way to Xuye Palace. If you walk like you, you will never get there..."
············
In the endless darkness of Hueco Mundo, no one can clearly calculate the passage of time.
However, under the leadership of Rukia Kuchiki, Kurosaki Ichigo and others finally arrived at the "castle" called Kyōya Palace.
"Rukia, Abarai has already left. Before we go in...can't you give me some tips?"
In front of the pale door, Ishida Uryu stopped and asked with a slight frown.
Not only him, but the other two people also vaguely felt it.
Rukia Kuchiki probably reached some kind of agreement with the people in this palace, otherwise she wouldn't have been so determined just now to let the three of them follow.
In fact, just like what Lucia said just now, they also know that the so-called 'strength' in this Hueco Mundo cannot be relied upon at all. If that man really wants to kill them, then they will definitely die.
Rukia obviously knows something.
Rukia Kuchiki turned back: "Tip? Didn't I already say it... You will really die. After entering, it's best not to take any chances."
"……I see."
After a moment of silence, Ishida Uryu nodded solemnly.
"In that case, I think we need to make a plan before going in."
Although Kuchiki Rukia didn't explain anything clearly, he probably figured out two things.
One is that he will really die.
Second, there is opportunity.
Just as they knew, it would be easy for the man to kill them, but Rukia, who knew something, still brought them back, which meant that they definitely had a chance.
Death was only a possibility, and the chance might be quite high, otherwise Lucia, who knew something, would not have brought them to die, unless she really betrayed them.
Of course, he ruled out the possibility of betrayal at the first opportunity.
Because they were probably in the hands of that man from the moment they arrived in Hueco Mundo.
To that man... this is just a 'game'.
And would such beings use boring tricks on ants like them in the game?
He knew the answer without even thinking about it.
At this moment, Rukia Kuchiki was probably the person specially arranged by that man to let them understand the rules of the game.
Since it is a game, it must be possible to pass it.
It's just that he can't judge the difficulty yet.
But from what Rukia said about 'I will die', we can tell that it will definitely not be easy.
In other words... maybe the man will not take action personally, but the combat power guarding Xuye Palace is definitely not weak. It is definitely stupid to break through from the front like this.
As Ishida Uryū thought about it, he continued to ask Kuchiki Rukia: "The target is too obvious when entering through the gate. Have you ever gone in? Is the gate heavily guarded?"
"Of course." Kuchiki Rukia nodded slightly.
"Is there another entrance here?"
"No...but the building material of this palace is not a material like Murderous Stone that can isolate spiritual pressure. Theoretically, we can break through the wall directly from anywhere."
"Is that so...then...since you have already gone in, do you understand the strategic deployment?" Uryū Ishida nodded slightly and asked again.
"I don't know, I just know that there will definitely be a 'Ten Blades' waiting for us inside." Rukia Kuchiki answered with a slight frown, "Although it sounds a bit unpleasant to say it, any one of those guys has any idea about the current situation.
It's a big problem for us, and this is their home court."
"Then what should we do?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked, "According to what you said, don't we have no chance of winning at all? If we go in, we will die?"
"No, there is a chance. My suggestion is that after we go in, we split up." Uryū Ishida said solemnly.
"Huh? What are you talking about? Since it's so dangerous inside, shouldn't we concentrate our efforts more?"
"It's useless to concentrate our strength. I agree with Ishida's plan." Sadatora shook his head slightly, "Rukia also said that none of the Ten Blades can be easily dealt with by us. The most important thing is that they are so powerful.
There are still ten more guys, and we also have to count the combat power beyond the Ten Blades. In short... We do not have any advantage in terms of individual combat power or numbers, and the enemies may not appear alone, gathering together.
Working together will only increase the risk of annihilation of the entire army. Since there is no other way, it is better to spread out and be more likely to succeed."
"Are you saying that by spreading their combat power, one of us can have a chance to break through the encirclement and see that man?" Kurosaki Ichigo seemed to understand.
"That's right."
Ishida Uryū and Sadatō Taihu both nodded slightly.
But Kuchiki Rukia on the side just remained silent.
She had been warned not to tell the three people that this was a 'trial', let alone tell them not to worry about 'death'.
So no matter what actions they take next, and what they will experience after entering, she can only remain silent.
It's okay that she is mentally prepared, but these three guys... won't 'die' and have psychological shadow after entering, right?
I hope the next 'trial' won't be too brutal... Rukia Kuchiki can only pray like this, not only for the other three people, but she herself is also one of the participants in this trial.
This is an opportunity to become stronger. This kind of training opportunity to face strong enemies without worrying about death is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Where else can I find it besides here?
Soon, after the discussion, several people came to the side of Xuye Palace.
They are going to open a 'door' here.
"Are you ready, everyone?"
Chadata Taihu clenched his fists and pointed at the pale wall as a reminder.
"Although you don't have to face the guards on the other side of the gate if you break in like this, you will definitely be noticed if the movement is so loud. After entering, everyone disperses quickly and pays attention to safety."
"Well, open the door."
The remaining people looked at each other, nodded solemnly, and were ready to go.
