Chapter 896 889. Kurosaki Ichigo: Yhwach! Run! There are Xuanhao’s people outside.
"Don't worry, I've already prepared."
Seemingly seeing where Kurosaki Ichigo was worried, Shifouin Yoruichi said calmly.
Then, she turned towards the empty space aside: "Open!"
As Shifouin Yoruichi's words fell, the Soul King Palace space that was not supposed to be connected to anywhere was slowly torn apart. This kind of space was opened in a way that Kurosaki Ichigo was familiar with - it was Hollow's black accent.
I saw a cold-faced figure slowly appearing in the opened black cavity.
Kurosaki Ichigo was slightly shocked when he saw this man: "You... Grimmjow!? How could you..."
"Hey, long time no see, Kurosaki Ichigo."
Grimmjow heard the sound and came over, and after seeing Kurosaki Ichigo, a cruel smile appeared on his face.
He jumped out from the black cavity, stopped in front of Kurosaki Ichigo, and looked at Kurosaki Ichigo carefully.
"How many years have we not seen each other? It seems that the injury from the battle with me has healed?"
"Nonsense, you look energetic, right? You are defeated." Faced with Grimmjow's contemptuous gaze, Kurosaki Ichigo responded with a look on his face not to be outdone.
"Haha, I've become quite talkative after not seeing each other for a few years, huh? Do you think I'm dead? Bastard!"
As he spoke, Grimmjow suddenly pulled out the blade from his waist, tearing the air with the terrifying pressure of the sword, and immediately attacked Kurosaki Ichigo.
"!!"
Kurosaki Ichigo was slightly startled and raised his Zanpakutō to resist.
Feeling the power contained in the pressure of the sword, a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
This guy Grimmjow has become a lot stronger.
This is natural, after all, the person who can grow is never just himself.
"No rudeness, Grimmjow."
Just when the atmosphere between the two became tense, a cold voice came.
"Tsk."
Hearing this voice, Grimmjow curled his lips slightly, put away the blade and stepped aside.
"Who are you……"
Looking at the tall, hot figure walking out of the black cavity, Kurosaki Ichigo asked with some doubts.
"Speaking of it, it seems that I haven't shown up much."
The visitor calmly responded to Kurosaki Ichigo's doubts.
"Let me introduce myself, the first 'Ten Blades', the Oryx Knight, Nellie Du Odeshovank, just call me Nellie. We are here to protect Miss Inoue on the orders of our elder brother, and help you by the way.
You guys lend a helping hand.”
While explaining, Nilu looked at Inoue Orihime who was a little confused.
Here she appears with the will of the original Nellielle Du Odeshovank.
The main purpose is indeed to protect the safety of Inoue Orihime.
But there was one thing she didn't mention.
That is, there is another will in her body, and the reason why the other will came here is not that simple.
In fact, Xuanhao originally planned to let Inoue Orihime command the new world's "army" to come to the battlefield here to suppress everything, but Inoue's character is really not suitable for such a thing.
So Nilu had to come.
That's right, at this moment, the passage between the Spiritual Palace and the 'New World' has been connected. As long as she gives the order, there will be 'thousands of troops and horses' coming to destroy everything in the old world.
But before that, Yhwach still has value.
Yes, it is used as a test for the other will in Nilu's body, the soul of sister Xuanhao.
"Is that man... finally going to intervene?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked with a slight frown.
"You seem to have misunderstood something. He has been involved in it from the beginning~" Sifengyuan Yeyi on the side pointed at himself and shrugged helplessly.
"Forehead……"
Only then did Kurosaki Ichigo react.
Since the Grimmjow and Nero in front of them were called by Mr. Yoruichi, it proves that Yoruichi was actually Xuanhao's person from the beginning... No, it's not just Yoruichi, Mr. Urahara seems to be too.
"Okay, let's go in first and then talk. If you stay here for a long time, you will be noticed." Sifengyuan Yoruichi suggested.
"Go in... where?" Kurosaki Ichigo was a little confused.
"We are here."
A voice came from the black cavity that had not yet been closed.
Kurosaki Ichigo followed the reputation and saw that there was still someone in the black chamber.
It turned out that opening the Black Chamber was not to let the people inside out, but to let them in. Grimmjow was just excited to see him, so he rushed out.
At this moment, there was a ladder leading directly to the top in the black cavity. On the ladder was a pitch black box that looked familiar to Kurosaki Ichigo.
After looking at the person who stuck his head out of the box to greet them, Kurosaki Ichigo understood what it was.
"Riruka! Yukio!?"
That's right, this box is a game space created by Yukio, a person with the ability to fully realize the art, that can shield perception.
"Anyway, let's come in first and talk about it later."
Soon, everyone entered the game space.
"So...what do you want me to explain? Ichigo." Shifouin Yoruichi asked teasingly.
"Of course all of them!"
Kurosaki Ichigo looked ashamed.
"Why do you look like you are only willing to tell part of it? I don't know anything!! Please explain everything clearly to me!"
"Huh? Don't you know that it's very troublesome to explain everything?" Si Fengyuan Ye Yi picked his ears impatiently, "Can't you idiot use your brain to figure it out? In short, except for you, everyone here now
They are people under that man’s command.”
"Ah this..."
The corner of Kurosaki Ichigo's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he looked at Orihime Inoue and Yasutora Sadatari on the side.
Both Sadatora Taitora and Inoue Orihime scratched their faces in embarrassment, smiled and nodded, seeming to acquiesce.
"So...we're surrounded?"
Kurosaki Ichigo asked weakly.
He really wanted to tell poor Youhabach - run! There are all Xuanhao’s people outside!!
"Okay, anyway, that's it. What we have to do now is to return to the Soul King, no... I should say the location of Yhwach."
Seeing Kurosaki Ichigo, Shifouin Yoruichi seemed to understand, and spoke calmly before moving on to the next topic.
"We stay here, how do we get up?"
Kurosaki Ichigo was puzzled for a while.
They currently have no numerical advantage at all.
Although I don’t know how strong the current Grimmjow and Nero, who has never taken action before, are, it should be difficult to face those powerful Star Cross Knights at the same time, right?
A head-on breakthrough is definitely not a wise move.
"Take the elevator~"
Yoruichi replied with a smile.
"ha?"
Kurosaki Ichigo looked confused.
"Anyway, the connection between Soul Society and the real world is the broken world, you know that, right?"
Sifengyuan explained the theory about the black cavity calmly, "There are large and small places called 'valleys' scattered around the boundary, which are the places where lost souls go, and the existence that fills the rest of the space is what we are now.
The black cavity where it is located.”
"You have also traveled through the black cavity several times, so you should know that the spiritual pressure in this black cavity is unstable. You must release the spiritual pressure at any time to form a foothold under your feet in order to move forward. Otherwise, you will not even be able to gain a foothold. After all, this place is just nothingness.
space."
"Among them, why is it that only the 'Called Valley' mentioned just now can continue to exist in the form of the spirit subspace? Even Urahara didn't fully understand the specific reason, but he thought of using its characteristics, so he needed to
their help.”
As she said that, she looked at Yukio and Riruka.
“The ability to manipulate electricity to freely create a play space, and the ability to freely move in and out of favorite items.
Using Riruka's ability, the entire space of the Valley can be moved into the box created by Yukio, and then Yukio's ability can be used to transform it into rooms and tracks.
This creates an 'elevator' that can move freely up and down along the track in this void space."
"So...as long as we stay here, can we reach anywhere we want to go through this void space?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked doubtfully.
"Of course it's not that simple. There's no way to locate the outside position here, and it's impossible to determine the 'drop point' to go out." Si Fengyuan Ye Yi chuckled, "But I was already prepared. When I fixed the Spirit King before,
I marked it right there.
It seems that they haven't discovered the mark I left yet. As long as we follow the mark's guidance, we can return to the top and raid them!"
"I see." Kurosaki Ichigo probably understood after hearing this.
"Understood, prepare quickly. We don't have an advantage in terms of numbers. We must defeat them all at once! Ichigo." Yoichi Shifouin encouraged with a smile.
············
"I said...is it okay if we relax like this?"
In a lounge in the Soul King's palace suspended in the sky.
The members of the Star Cross Knights were lying leisurely on the sofa. Among them, Lijie Barrow, who was a little uneasy about the current situation, asked everyone's opinions doubtfully.
"There is nothing we can do. If we stay in the same place as His Majesty, we will be swallowed up together with the power of the Spirit King." Yaskin Nacroval said helplessly while fishing, "We have nothing else to do now.
, I can only stay here to recharge my batteries~"
"'Recharge your batteries'? That's a good word to use, hahahaha!" Gerald Valkyrie on the side agreed with this.
But there are still some people who remain solemn, such as Uryū Ishida, who stands silently at the side.
Gerald Valkyrie noticed Ishida Uryu's solemn expression and asked with some confusion: "Hey! What's wrong? New here! Looks so uneasy? Your Majesty will be fine, he will take over it completely soon."
The power of the Spirit King becomes even stronger!"
"Um...yeah..." Uryu Ishida responded absently.
At the same time, in the room on the top floor, Yhwach's power of devouring the Soul King has come to an end.
·············
"Speaking of which, we don't even know who the other party is and what their abilities are. Is it really okay to launch a surprise attack like this?"
Among the people who were ascending along the black cavity space along the marked point, Kurosaki Ichigo asked with some uncertainty.
Although Miss Yoichi kept cheering him up, he was still a little nervous after thinking about the previous situation.
"Yes, for example, the hooded guy who attacked Miss Yoruichi before." Taitora Sadatora frowned slightly and gave an example, "What is his ability? I am far away, so I don't know him at all.
What have you done."
"Don't talk about you, even I don't know the person involved."
Sifengyuan Yeyi's face became solemn when he heard this, "I have no idea what happened, and my arm started to move on its own and became twisted. Anyway, don't get close to him easily. If you are far away, I may have something to do."
"If I had known better, I should have asked Mr. Monk about the abilities of these Quincy..." Inoue Orihime said with some regret, "We were in too much of a hurry before, and nothing was a problem."
Kurosaki Ichigo also nodded slightly. Monk and his team members from Division Zero had fought against this group of Quincy, including Yhwach, and they should have a lot of information.
It was indeed a mistake on their part to fail to take advantage of it.
"It's so noisy. I'm just trying to think of useless questions. Then we can find a solution when we meet. Just tear them all into pieces."
Grimmjow listened to everyone's discussion and interrupted impatiently.
"It's easy for you to say, isn't it?"
Kurosaki Ichigo curled his lips slightly when he heard this, but soon he couldn't help but smile, "But it's true, you will consider the consequences when doing things, but it's not like my style at all."
"Forehead……"
Everyone was a little ashamed when they heard this.
However, the tense atmosphere has eased a lot.
············
The terrifying spiritual pressure on the top floor of the Soul King's palace finally settled down.
Sensing something, Hasward raised his head: "It seems that it's over."
"!"
The rest of the Star Cross Knights also felt it.
"It seems that His Majesty has taken everything from the Spiritual King. The Spiritual King... no longer exists."
"Let's go and meet His Majesty. Next... is the moment to witness the birth of the new world."
Yes, Yhwach has swallowed the power of the Soul King, which means that he has completely replaced the Soul King as the cornerstone of the entire world.
This is the best proof that the world has not collapsed due to the disappearance of the Spirit King's power at this moment.
In other words, as the master of the new world, Youhabach has the right to reshape the entire world.
Soon, under the leadership of Hasward, the Starcross Knights returned to the room on the top floor together.
At this moment, the entire room seemed to be covered in a strange dark substance.
It made them feel uneasy.
"Your Majesty - thank you for your hard work."
Hasward saluted respectfully towards the figure standing in the darkness.
"Hasward?"
The man turned around.
"!!"
When they saw the appearance of Yhwach clearly at this moment, everyone except Hasward seemed to have their hearts skipping a beat, and they kept trying to step back.
At this moment, Yhwach's face was covered with countless pitch-black eyes. His entire appearance had lost the shape that a human should have and had become extremely ferocious.
"What's wrong? Is it terrible?"
Yhwach chuckled and looked down at everyone. Countless eyeballs were squirming on his face. He looked extremely scary. "There is no need to be so afraid. Sooner or later you will get used to this appearance... But speaking of it... it turns out that this is how excess power feels.
?”
He smiled and sighed as the terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly spread around, seemingly covering the entire Soul King Palace in an instant.
