"Brother...how long will we wait until we are here?"
Inoue Orihime came behind Xuan Hao, who was sitting on the throne and looking down, and asked with some confusion.
The place they are in now is part of the new world created by this man - heaven.
Looking down from here, you can see everything happening in the lower world, penetrate the human world, Soul Society and even hell, and it is a place where you have absolute control over everything.
At this moment, Xuanhao has been observing the lower world here for a long time, but he has never made any plans to take action, so Inoue Orihime was a little confused.
"Soon."
Xuanhao leaned lazily on the throne, supported his chin with his hand, and calmly answered Inoue Orihime's question.
"The final stage, of course, has to wait until all the actors have arrived before the performance starts. I don't have time... to go find them one by one."
The new world is of course built according to the structure of the world he is familiar with.
After heaven are naturally the human world and the underworld.
Because there was originally nothing above the sky in this world, so creating the ‘Heaven’ was the simplest step and would not be interfered with by anything.
Now that Heaven is established, the rest will become simple, nothing more than destruction and reconstruction.
But before that, he had to announce to all living beings on the final stage - the birth of a new world.
············
Soul Society.
A strange aura filled the air,
The shadow gradually enveloped the entire Jinglingting, as if it was being swallowed directly, along with the defensive barrier protecting it.
"What's wrong!?"
"What happened!?"
"All data shows abnormalities! What happened!?"
The Technology Development Bureau was thrown into chaos because of such changes.
"How could...such a thing happen!?"
Ah Jin looked at the scene projected on the monitor with cold sweat on his forehead, "Jing Lingting... has disappeared!"
It wasn't just him. When the Soul Reapers realized that something had happened, it seemed to be too late. The entire Joireitei had completely changed, with all the original buildings disappearing and replaced by——
The headquarters of the invisible empire.
At a high place, Yohabach and Uryū Ishida stood side by side, looking down at everything in front of them: "Uryū, do you know what the 'Ode to the Holy Emperor' is?"
"Know……"
Ishida Uryū calmly replied that this was a custom passed down from generation to generation by his Quincy clan, a hymn used to praise the king.
But now it seems that everything is just what the king has planned for this moment.
"The sealed Quincy King...it took 900 years for his heart to revive again, then 90 years to regain consciousness, and another 9 years to regain strength."
"Yes, there is a follow-up to this song." Yhwach smiled faintly, "The sealed King of the Quincy... takes over the world in nine days."
"Let's go, the world will end in 9 days!"
At this moment, the Invisible Empire's attack on Soul Society officially begins.
············
"Oops..."
Seeing that the invisible empire in front of him directly chose to exchange the base camps of both sides, Kyoraku Shunsui, the commander-in-chief, looked gloomy and couldn't help but sigh.
"I also considered that the other party would launch a surprise attack, so I deployed a lot of defensive measures throughout the Jing Ling Pavilion... But I didn't expect that we would lose our geographical advantage in this way... to use such a method.
The method is really troublesome. How on earth is it done?"
The sudden change at this moment caused the entire Jinglingting Palace to become chaotic. It can be said that it has completely fallen into the trap of the Invisible Empire.
"You won't understand-"
Yhwach spoke calmly as if he was answering Kyōraku Shunsui's question from a distance. It was obvious that the two of them could not hear each other's voices, let alone communicate, but the words above him were able to match each other.
"We, the Quincy, who lost our shelter in the battle a thousand years ago, hid from the present world...into the Pure Soul Pavilion where your death guards are the least guarded...and then, all our shadows in the Pure Soul Pavilion...
'In using spirit sons to create space.
For this, we call it the ‘invisible empire’.”
"The plan was very successful. After all, unlike the real world, Soul Society is filled with the source of our power - spirit children, making us omnipotent!"
As he spoke, members of the Star Cross Knights suddenly appeared throughout the Jing Ling Temple, answering questions for the horrified Shinigami.
But their appearance obviously made the Death Gods look more nervous, and the whole atmosphere became tense.
"In these long millennia, we have been accumulating strength in the power of 'shadow'."
However, the knights still looked around at everyone as if they were mocking them, with no intention of taking action immediately. The words in their mouths at this moment were like a ruthless mockery of the gods of death.
Taunting them for their stupidity in not realizing that their enemies had already penetrated deep into the hinterland.
"In short, the reason why your defenses are ineffective is because we did not invade by destroying the soul-shielding film, but were already inside it."
As the captain, Kyōraku Shunsui also appeared in front of him and gave him the answer.
Holy Word ‘B’, Huguelen Hasward.
He calmly came to Jingraku Shunsui to confront him, seemingly not taking him seriously at all.
The opponent is the captain of Soul Society's Gotei 13, but he is just His Majesty's right-hand man. Coming to confront him in this capacity is a sign of contempt.
In response to this, Kyōraku Shunsui naturally looked extremely gloomy.
"Welcome, thank you for your important information."
He lowered the brim of his hat and turned to look at the Quincy in front of him, "You have found the position of the commander so quickly. It seems that you have collected enough information?"
Faced with Kyōraku Shunsui's teasing, Hugolan Hasward's expression remained calm. He seemed to have no intention of joking with him. He introduced himself calmly: "I am the assistant to the Emperor of the Invisible Empire and the highest ranking member of the Knights of the Star Cross."
——Yuglen Hasward.”
"Is that so?"
Kyōraku Shunsui nodded slightly when he heard this, and responded in the same way, "I am the captain of the Gotei 13 and the captain of the First Division - Kyōraku Shunsui. So now... after exchanging names, are you ready to take action directly?"
"Yes. That's exactly why I'm here." Huguelin Hasward replied calmly, his tone neither happy nor sad, and no emotion could be heard.
This is not contempt. For him, the only important thing is to complete His Majesty's instructions.
"I'm really anxious."
Kyōraku Shunsui couldn't help but sigh when he saw the other party being so frank, "You've been waiting for revenge for a thousand years, don't you plan to enjoy it a little longer?"
"Unfortunately, your Majesty is a peace-loving person. He just wants to end this painful battle quickly and end this painful battle." Huguelin Hasward still answered like a machine, "Therefore, the only order given is
One - 'instantaneous'...'annihilate the entire enemy army'."
"I see...this is really——"
············
"Who...are you!?"
At the same time, the Technology Development Bureau.
The gods of death looked nervously at the enemy that appeared in front of them for no apparent reason.
"When did you come in here!?"
"from where……"
"Hey, hey, hey...I just kindly explained for so long, are you all deaf?"
Leaning against the holy word 'D' on the wall, Yaskin Nacrovar helplessly opened his eyes and looked around at everyone, "Or is it that your Technology Development Bureau is just a flashy name? It doesn't come from where.
Come in, as we said, we were already inside."
"That's it. You Quincy live in the 'Shadow'. Two worlds exist in the same time and space without conflicting with each other. Oops... Creating a world in the 'Shadow' is really beyond common sense.
.but……
I don’t hate things like this that go beyond common sense.”
Suddenly, an interesting voice came.
This made Yaskin Nacroval raise his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.
I didn't expect that someone could analyze the principle so calmly at this time. It seems that he has to take back what he just said.
"Who are you?"
"Yes...Captain!?"
The Shinigami from the Technology Development Bureau were slightly startled and looked at the man who suddenly appeared. Yes, this was their captain who had disappeared for a long time and was conducting some kind of secret experiment somewhere.
Captain of the 12th Division and Director of the Technology Development Bureau——Niryuri.
"What's going on with your outfit...?"
Nirvana, who was wearing an outfit that shone like the sun, had no intention of explaining. Instead, he looked at the Quincy in front of him with a chuckle and mockingly: "Based on the data collected during your last invasion, I surmise that the Quincy
The invasion is related to the 'Shadow', so the interior of my laboratory... was specially modified to prevent the 'Shadow'."
"Really? I don't feel it at all." Yaskin Nacroval replied calmly, "Is there... anything special here?"
During the conversation between the two, the atmosphere seemed to have solidified and became extremely tense.
"It doesn't matter, you will feel it soon." Nirvana sneered, "Then...how about whether our Technology Development Bureau is 'flashy' or not, how about you slowly experience it yourself?"
············
Not only where Kyōraku Shunsui and Niryuri were sitting, but also everywhere in the Joireitei, the Shinigami encountered the invading Quincy.
This situation is exactly like the last invasion.
The invasion of the Quincy was invisible and completely dominated.
"Damn it...you are not allowed to pass here! We will never get out of the way!"
The team members drew their swords to face the oncoming Quincy.
But it seems pointless.
boom--
As the blazing flames swept across, they were instantly drowned.
"Ah? What are you talking about? Not allowed to pass? Is it funny? We have completed the invasion~"
Buzby picked out his ears and mocked lightly, "Jing Lingting has disappeared without a trace. Now this place... is our territory."
As he said this, he didn't even bother to look at the soldiers before turning around and leaving.
However, the moment he lifted his steps, a chill came and made him stop.
"Um?"
He frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the flames.
In the fierce fire, the panicked soldiers were unhurt.
Looking carefully, he finally found the clue.
It's his flame, blocked by a layer of ice.
"Your territory? Stop joking..."
Hitsugaya Toshiro appeared in front of everyone with Matsumoto Rangiku, staring at the intruder in front of him expressionlessly.
"Your flame can't even think of taking another step forward from here."
"oh?"
Yaskin Nacrovar grinned at this provocation.
"Hahahaha - what! What! Who did I think it was? I still remember you. Wasn't this the Ice Captain who was taken away by Cangdu? Poor guy."
In response to the opponent's provocation, Toshiro Hitsugaya still looked cold and expressionless: "I am the captain of the 10th division, Toshiro Hitsugaya."
"That's it! That's it! It doesn't matter."
Buzby replied with a sneer, and also reported his name: "I am the Knights of the Star Cross, the holy word 'H'! The scorching one - Buzby!"
As he spoke, the blazing flames rose from his body again and swept towards Hitsugaya Toshiro in an instant.
Wow——
Hitsugaya Toshiro also swung his sword without hesitation.
After the names were announced, of course the battle started directly, and the two sides had nothing to talk about.
The blazing flames and condensed frost suddenly swelled together, and the impact of the explosion forced those around to retreat.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Seeing the evasive team members, Matsumoto Rangiku on the side immediately commanded: "You guys stand down! Leave this place to me and the captain!"
"Yes... Got it!"
After knowing that such a battle was not something that they and others could participate in, the team members immediately dispersed. Their mission was to contain the soldiers from the Star Cross Knights, whose combat power was difficult for even the captain level to contend with.
knight.
"Captain Hitsugaya...is he really okay?"
Some people are still worried.
They knew that, even though they knew that the enemy had the ability to take away the swastika, some captains still had to use the swastika to fight the enemy in the last battle, and Captain Hitsugaya was one of them.
Can Captain Hitsugaya, who has now lost his swastika, really be able to deal with such an enemy?
Soon, their worries seemed to come true.
"Hey, hey, hey - your ice is too fragile, isn't it!?"
In a burst of arrogant ridicule, the flames instantly melted all the ice.
Buzby seemed to have an absolute advantage in the battle with Hitsugaya Toshiro.
"Things like ice are no match for fire in the first place! After losing your swastika, that's all you can do! It really made me laugh out loud!"
"..."
Faced with the opponent's ridicule, Hitsugaya Toshiro remained silent and continued to wield his sword to condense ice to resist the incoming flames.
Not even close...
Of course he knew that without the swastika, the power of Hyōrinmaru would be greatly weakened.
But it's not pointless to keep swinging the knife like this.
Between the melting of ice and fire, the surrounding humidity is rising at a perceptible speed.
