Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

After Sōya Azashiro personally took action and instantly killed more than a dozen experienced Quincy, he was targeted by a group of Quincy. Seven pure-blooded Quincy with Quincy crosses around their waists, along with more than sixty powerful mixed-blood Quincy, surrounded Sōya Azashiro and drew their bows...

However, it was precisely because Souya Azashiro single-handedly restrained all of the Quincy's high-level combat forces and nearly a third of the mixed-blood soldiers that the Quincy Special Forces led by Souya Azashiro gained an absolute numerical advantage in their battles against the Quincy.

"You, you must be the captain of the 'Gotei 13', right?"

"The captains of your 'Thirteenth Team' must be about as strong as you, right?!"

The Quincy who seemed to have an absolute advantage did not intend to attack Azashiro Sōya immediately. Perhaps they had absolute confidence in their side and knew that Azashiro Sōya could not escape. Therefore, they asked Azashiro Sōya about information about the "Seireitei" and the "Gotei 13".

Why are you asking so many questions?

Originally intending to take direct action, Sōya Mochijo suddenly frowned after hearing the words of the Quincy in front of him. With his meticulous mind, he noticed something amiss.

"It's nothing, we were just a little curious. Someone as powerful as you must be quite well-known in the Seireitei, right?!"

As Mokashiro finished speaking, the expressions of the Quincy all changed slightly. One of the men, who had a Quincy cross hanging from his waist, immediately realized what was going on and asked Mokashiro with a smile.

"Heh, you'll be disappointed. I'm not the captain of the 'Gotei 13,' just a squad leader of the 'First Division'! There are countless Shinigami with my strength in the 'Seireitei'!"

"As for those Shinigami who serve as captains of the 'Gotei 13,' without exaggeration, each and every one of them is stronger than me! In fact, many of the squad captains could instantly kill Shinigami of my caliber..."

"If even a Shinigami of my caliber is considered powerful in your eyes, then I advise you to put away your inappropriate thoughts and obediently follow the orders of the 'Gotei 13'. That would be better for everyone."

Upon hearing this, Souya Mochijo smiled faintly at the group of Quincy in front of him, his words filled with his disdain for the Quincy and his admiration for the 'Gotei 13' led by Araki.

"Are you kidding me? Someone with your strength can't even be the captain of the 'Thirteenth Team'?"

"In other words, there are as many as thirteen Shinigami in this Seireitei who are even stronger than you?!"

The Quincy were stunned after hearing what Sōya Azajo said. They hadn't expected that someone as strong as Sōya Azajo wouldn't even meet the captain level standard in the current 'Gotei 13'.

"It's far more than thirteen..."

Upon hearing this, Zhicheng corrected the problems in these people's words.

"Now it's my turn to ask you..."

"Why are you so eager to inquire about the strength of the captains of the 'Gotei 13'? Are you perhaps planning something dangerous?"

"Let me think. Perhaps some of you Quincy are not entirely convinced by the final outcome of your invasion of the Soul Society eight hundred years ago, which resulted in your defeat at the hands of us Shinigami..."

"So, some of you Quincy are thinking of rewriting history! Or to be more precise, some of you Quincy are planning revenge against us Shinigami, planning to invade the Soul Society once again, am I right?!"

Facing the group of Quincy around him, Soujiro first gave a cold smile, then calmly and rationally analyzed the Quincy's intentions in trying to get information out of him...

In fact, based on all the information about Quincy in the Soul Society that he had spent several months researching from Araki, he quickly deduced the Quincy's intention in trying to elicit information from him.

Aside from the fact that these Quincy were still harboring malicious intentions and planned to invade the Soul Society, Sō Azaki really couldn't understand why the Quincy were asking him, their enemy, about the fighting strength of the Gotei 13.

"What?! How did you..."

As soon as Soya Azashiro finished speaking, the Quincy's expressions changed drastically. They simply couldn't believe that Soya Azashiro had guessed their Quincy's purpose just from their seemingly casual questions...

At the same time, judging from Mochishiro Sōya's appearance, the other party seemed to have noticed the possibility of the 'Invisible Empire'.

"It seems I guessed right."

Shiro Sou also took in the expressions of all the Quincy. Most of them looked blank after hearing his words, but the few pure-blooded Quincy who were the leaders of these Quincy clearly knew something.

"Oh no, we've been fooled!"

Upon hearing what Soya Azashiro said, the Quincy frowned deeply. They realized that Soya Azashiro was bluffing them, and their expressions had given Soya Azashiro the answer he wanted.

"We can't let him leave alive!"

For a moment, the pure-blooded Quincy exchanged glances. They decided that even if it cost them their lives, they would leave this Grim Reaper, who vaguely sensed the 'Hidden Empire's' plan, in this desolate desert.

"I'm sorry you can't do it!"

Based on the principle that "if you can take action, don't talk nonsense, or you'll die if you do," Soujiro was the first to unleash his Zanpakuto.

The Shikai of the Crest Castle is almost indistinguishable from the unreleased form of his Zanpakuto! It looks exactly like an ordinary samurai sword...

As for the ability of Shikai, it is incredibly simple and brutal. He can compress all the spiritual pressure he possesses, as well as the traces of spiritual pressure left on objects in the past, into the blade of his Zanpakuto...

Then, he unleashed the concentrated spiritual pressure within the blade like a wind blade, creating a massive slash to attack the enemy.

"boom!!"

As Momojo Shikai unleashed his Zanpakuto...

The immense spiritual pressure emanating from Sōya Azashiro's body immediately converged on the blade of his Zanpakutō. As more and more spiritual pressure gathered on the Zanpakutō, its silver blade grew increasingly bright...

In the blink of an eye, Sōya Azashiro's Zanpakutō was like a torch lit in the night sky, radiating a dazzling, starlight-like light in this world of eternal night! The twinkling lights under the night sky were incredibly eye-catching and beautiful.

Unfortunately, the Quincy group did not appreciate this beautiful scene. In their eyes, the sword of Souya Azajo was now extremely dangerous!

"shooting!"

At someone's command, countless holy arrows flew into the sky and shot towards Mole City Shuangye.

"boom!"

As he looked up, facing the arrows that resembled shooting stars, he simply swung his Zanpakuto lightly. Instantly, a crescent-shaped slash flew from the blade, shattering all the arrows in the sky...

"boom!"

After his successful attack, Souichi Shiro did not stop. He gripped his Zanpakuto and swung his second sword at the Quincy in front of him.

In an instant, another crescent-shaped slash rushed straight towards the Quincy, and this second slash from Souya Azajo was even more massive than his first slash!

"run!"

Upon seeing this, the pure-blooded Quincy immediately used their Flying Kick to dodge Azajo's slash, but the mixed-blood Quincy behind them were not so lucky! Almost instantly, these mixed-blood Quincy who had not yet been able to react were completely cut in half by Azajo's slash.

Countless crimson stains spread across the earth...

More than sixty hybrid Quincy were instantly killed on the battlefield.

This is the difference between a captain-level Shinigami and an ordinary Quincy.

"Damn it! This guy is a monster!"

The fleeing pure-blooded Quincy, watching the merciless swordsman Sōya, broke out in a cold sweat. In their eyes, Sōya had transformed into a humanoid monster, relentlessly devouring the lives of the Quincy.

"There's no other way, let's use the Quincy final form!"

Finally, an aged pure-blooded Quincy, after pondering for a long time, slowly began to speak.

"what?!"

As soon as the old man spoke, the expressions of the Quincy around him all changed.

It's important to understand that the current Quincy's final form, while seemingly similar to the Perfected Body used by Quincy during the 'Blood War' era, is actually quite different. Although both are developed based on the Quincy's basic abilities, they differ greatly in terms of power, speed, and side effects...

Once a Quincy awakens their final form, it essentially signifies the end of their Quincy career! This is absolutely unacceptable to many who value their Quincy identity above all else, even above their own lives…

"Shimura-senpai, if we use the Quincy's final form, our Quincy power will be..."

Among those pure-blooded Quincy, one looked at the old man with an extremely hesitant expression and slowly spoke.

"Now is not the time to worry about the power of annihilation. If the power of annihilation disappears, there is still a chance to recover!"

"But this one guy in front of us is the one we absolutely cannot allow to leave Hueco Mundo alive!"

“Once he informs the Seireitei of his speculations, we will become the sinners of the Quincy for a thousand years.”

The old man frowned and coldly lectured the crowd behind him.

"I understand now..."

As the old man reprimanded them, the faces of the pure-blooded Quincy changed repeatedly. In the end, they all took off their loose gloves in front of Souya Mochijo.

"Death, be honored! You will witness the true power of us Quincy!"

"And those of you who are grateful, go report to hell!!"

As the pure-blooded Quincy finished speaking, their bodies were instantly enveloped by countless spiritual particles...

In an instant, everything—the white desert that makes up the 'Hueco Mundo', the black, withered trees that adorn the desert, and the barren hills formed by piled-up rocks—transformed into the purest spiritual particles, approaching these pure-blooded Quincy who had awakened their final Quincy forms…

"Hmm? The spiritual particles of Hueco Mundo are being absorbed by these Quincy?"

"These Quincy can actually convert matter into the most basic spiritual particles, and then absorb and utilize them?"

"Does that mean that if I hadn't chosen to test the waters with my Shikai first, but instead had directly used my Bankai to deal with these Quincy, I would have been in an extremely passive position?!"

Souichi Shiro never imagined that these pure-blooded Quincy with decent talent would possess the ability to directly break down the matter of Hueco Mundo and Soul Society into the most basic spiritual particles, and then absorb and utilize them...

If he were to accidentally activate his Bankai while fighting these Quincy and choose to merge with the surrounding environment teeming with spiritual energy, wouldn't he be tormented to death by their current actions?!

Yes, once Sōya Azashiro merges with the environment of 'Hueco Mundo', the part of 'Hueco Mundo' that Sōya Azashiro merges with becomes Sōya Azashiro's body...

The Quincy's current act of breaking down Hueco Mundo's matter into spiritual particles for absorption is practically like shaving the flesh off the bones of Sōya Azajo with a knife.

"No! All these Quincy must die here..."

Thinking of this, Souya Mochi's expression changed, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light.

At this moment, Araki's teachings echoed in Azashiro's mind once again. Azashiro murmured to himself, "According to Araki-sensei's teachings, the first rule of risk avoidance is: never expose your weaknesses to the enemy. If your weaknesses are already exposed to the enemy, then you must not let those who know my weaknesses live."

"Although you Quincy are unaware of my weaknesses, according to Article 3 of the Emergency Evasion Act, once the enemy's abilities are discovered and they are found to be completely countered by our own abilities, we must act in advance to eliminate all of these enemies to prevent the possibility of our weaknesses being exposed!"

"So, I'm sorry, dear Quincy, but you have yet another reason to die..."

As soon as Shiro Sōya thought this, he had already raised the spiritual pressure within his body to its peak.

"boom!"

Just as Sōya Mochishiro's mindset began to shift, from intending to spare their lives to deciding to spare none...

The pure-blooded Quincy who had entered their final Quincy form were already launching an attack on Mole Castle.

Unlike their later, fully-fledged forms, these Quincy who reached their final form did not grow wings to fly freely in the sky; they possessed only a single, incredibly illusory wing…

Even so, it increased the speed of these ordinary Quincy by several orders of magnitude.

"go to hell!"

All that could be heard was the shouting of the Quincy, accompanied by sonic booms, as they charged towards Soujiro.

"Not fast enough!"

Despite facing these greatly enhanced Quincy, Mole City remained remarkably calm, showing no signs of panic.

Despite the Quincy's greatly increased strength and speed, they were still incredibly slow for him, who spent his days leveling up under the blades of Uno Retsu and Araki...

"boom!"
