From the Wandenreich's escape to One Piece

Chapter 142 Attack on the Soul Society! Seize the Fragments of the Spirit King!

Beltz first sent Rukia back to Wano Country, and then returned to Hueco Mundo.

With Harald and Kong, he can now officially form the Abyss.

Especially since Harald now possesses the immortality of a demon, Beltz felt even more empowered to pursue his goals.

"This time, the opponent you are facing may be the most terrifying one in your life over the past hundred years."

Beltz said seriously to Harald.

Seeing Beltz's expression, Harald also became serious.

He had heard of and witnessed Beltz's strength.

The destruction of the Holy Land, and the battle against the Five Elders at Auersto Castle, all demonstrate Beltz's formidable strength.

For Beltz to say something like that, it's clear that his upcoming opponent is indeed formidable.

"Just say it directly. You saved me before, so my life is yours now!"

Harald was serious, but not afraid.

Since meeting Ida, Harald has abandoned evil and embraced good. Even pirates have a sense of righteousness, let alone a wise king like him.

"Don't worry, I'm not sending you to your death. If there's any danger, I'll take you to Wano Country," Beltz said. "I hope you can draw my fire for me. It won't take too long."

"I'll tell you the rest on the way."

Beltz wanted to let the three realms know of Harald's existence, in order to reaffirm the existence of the Five Elders.

Since Harald is going to have to make a move, then let's not waste this opportunity.

He wanted Harald to distract the Gotei 13 while he himself went to the Tsunayashiro family's residence.

The Tsunayo family is the head of the five noble families in Soul Society, but this status is not important. Belz is not a Shinigami, and the noble families of Shinigami cannot suppress him.

What he values ​​is Tsunayoshi's accumulation over the million-year history of Soul Society. According to the side story novel, Tsunayoshi's family has a large number of Soul King fragments.

These fragments of the Spirit King are what Beltz wants.

After all, the Soul King fragments themselves are one of the raw materials for the Hogyoku.

If he were to remove the Hogyoku from Rukia's body later, it would only be equivalent to obtaining half of the complete Hogyoku. Vegapunk might then need to create the other half.

Then it won't work without the Spirit King fragments.

Moreover, even disregarding the fact that it uses fragments of the Soul King to create the Hogyoku, it is itself a powerful tonic.

However, the Tsunayo family is one of the five great noble families, holding a high position and great power in Soul Society.

Beltz's attempt to use psychology to become invisible and steal the Spirit Master fragment directly will be quite difficult.

If something goes wrong and the situation is exposed, then the captain of the Gotei 13 will arrive.

Therefore, he needed someone to draw fire and divert the attention of the Gotei 13.

Because of the investigation into the Five Elders, the Gotei 13 had already dispatched several captains to the human world and Hueco Mundo. If Harald could attract the attention of a few more captains, it would be much easier for him to find the Soul King fragments.

Harald didn't know what the Gotei 13 was, but he only needed to know that he would be facing several powerful enemies.

"And besides, you can be the Grim Reaper now."

Beltz said to Harald, "You can try to steal a Zanpakuto then; maybe you'll be able to master Bankai someday."

"Zanpakuto?" Harald found himself understanding more and more things.

He was once the king of Elbaf, and Elbaf, as the leading military power, has an extremely long history.

Most importantly, the giants are very long-lived, which is why they have been able to pass down a very ancient history.

Apart from the blank century, the library in Elbaf records most of the history over thousands of years.

But since arriving in Hueco Mundo, there are more and more things he doesn't understand.

"Hmm—you can think of it as a kind of Devil Fruit."

Beltz thought for a moment and felt that this was the only explanation: "However, it requires developing the knife's ability on your own, and it doesn't have the weaknesses that come with Devil Fruits."

"Although it's too small for you, a Zanpakuto is a weapon that expands as spiritual power grows. If you don't compress the size of the sword, it's enough for you."

Normally, a Zanpakuto grows larger as the Shinigami's spiritual power increases, but it can also shrink according to the user's will; otherwise, even captain-level Shinigami would have to wield swords the size of buildings.

This is a good thing for Harald, given his enormous size!

A giant over sixty meters tall, a size that many people can only achieve using their abilities, there simply isn't a Zanpakuto suitable for him.

Harald was shocked to hear that such a divine artifact existed in the world, while Beltz told him more about Death on the way.

After finishing his explanation, Beltz brought Harald to Soul Society.

Beltz used the psychology of group concealment to hide himself and Harald.

In addition to psychological invisibility, Beltz also directly entered Dragonman mode and condensed an ice mask on his face.

He was taking precautions. If someone discovered him, he would emerge from his psychological invisibility state in this form, so no one would recognize him.

The people of Soul Society didn't care, but Belz was worried about exposing himself to the Quincy because the Wandenreich was in the shadow of the Soul Society.

Therefore, he used the dragon man mode and the white mask to hide his identity.

"Hmm—it's probably right here."

Beltz led Harald to the edge of the Soul Society. After recalling the map of the Soul Society in his mind, he said to Harald, "You can try entering Devil Mode here. Someone should come looking for you then."

"Just keep the person who comes looking for you occupied."

Harald nodded and said, "I understand. Go do your thing."

"Hmm—" Beltz added as a final word of advice: "Although most of those captains don't like fighting outnumbered, don't try to tough it out if they all come at you at once."

"I know."

Upon hearing this answer, Beltz dispelled Harald's psychological cloak, and then continued his journey into the Soul Society.

The moment Harald appeared, standing at the edge, he immediately startled the wandering spirits standing behind him.

Seeing this enormous body, they thought a ghost was coming and all ran back.

Harald naturally wouldn't lay a hand on these ordinary people; following Beltz's instructions, he immediately activated his Demon Mode!

"what!"

Harald roared, and this time he was finally able to unleash the demonic power that he had never used at full strength before!

The mark of the Knights of God did not appear on his arm. Instead, like the demonization of the Black Domination, his already enormous body became even larger at this moment!

Previously, Harald was about sixty meters tall, but now it has skyrocketed to over eighty meters!

Sharp fangs sprouted from his mouth, and black wings grew from his back, making him look exactly like a demon!

boom!

In his demonized state, Harald's power was almost overflowing, and his immense spiritual energy transformed into lightning, bursting forth from his body!

Conqueror's Haki!

He unleashed a powerful aura at the Soul Society, which resembled a town ahead, causing many Shinigami to blink upwards and immediately faint!

Although he lost his giant body, his demonic power meant that his current strength was not much weaker than before he obtained the Deep Sea Mark.

The moment Harald appeared, the Soul Society was already aware of his presence. After he transformed into a demon and released his Conqueror's Haki, everyone in the Soul Society became aware of him!

The captains who were still in the Soul Society were especially shocked, with cold sweat dripping down their foreheads.

At this moment, there are only half of the captains in the Soul Society.

In order to investigate the Five Elders, they sent three captains to Hueco Mundo: Byakuya Kuchiki, captain of the Sixth Division; Isshin Shiba, captain of the Tenth Division; and Jushiro Ukitake, captain of the Thirteenth Division.

These three people are all related to Rukia in some way: one is her older brother, one is the uncle of her admired senior, Shiba Kaien, and the other is her captain.

They went to Hueco Mundo with the intention of finding Rukia.

Three other captains also went to the human world: Soi Fon, captain of the 2nd Division; Gin Ichimaru, captain of the 3rd Division; and Sousuke Aizen, captain of the 5th Division.

Of the thirteen captains of the Gotei 13, six left at once.

Normally, such a distribution would leave the Soul Society without a large number of combat forces, but as long as Yamamoto is still around, the Soul Society will not suffer any devastating events.

Compared to that, the emergence of an unknown force is what they care about more.

They felt the unusual spiritual pressure again and immediately set off, heading straight towards Harald.

Beltz felt a sense of relief as he sensed the shifting spiritual pressure from these captain-level figures.

He used psychology to stealthily reach the location of the Tsunayo family, while also being content with the vast ocean of the subconscious, allowing himself to delve deeper into the subconscious of the Tsunayo family members.

He needs to find the Soul King fragments hidden by the Tsunayo family, so he needs to find out their locations.

This psychologist's abilities have truly made a significant contribution in this regard.

By the time he arrived near the Tsunayo family's residence, he had already located the Soul King fragment.

Most of the Tsunayo family members are of average strength.

Therefore, obtaining the Spirit King fragment should not be a problem. At most, he might be discovered when he tries to take it away, but if he wants to run away at that time, no one can stop him.

So now the focus is on Harald.

He was quite confident in Harald's abilities, but facing several captains would still be a bit dangerous.

While most of the captains of the Gotei 13 are concerned about their reputation and do not want others to interfere in their battles, there are exceptions like Kyoraku Shunsui, who, unfortunately, remains in the Seireitei.

The good news is that Yamamoto stayed with the first team, which was also part of Beltz's plan.

After all, the First Division plays a crucial role in coordinating the overall situation most of the time, and it is also responsible for guarding the Avici Hell located just below the First Division's barracks, so it cannot rashly leave to fight on the front lines.

If Yamamoto leaves, then Beltz would dare to go straight to the First Division, either to check the files of the Gotei 13 to see if he can find the King Key protected by the Captain-Commander, and then he would have to go to the Abyss to try to release all the criminals inside!

Anyway, he's a Quincy, so he doesn't care how the Shinigami suffer.

As he expected, when he arrived at the Tsunayo family's treasury, he bypassed the two guards without them noticing Beltz's presence!

Beltz went inside and saw all sorts of glittering treasures, as well as fragments of the Spirit King containing immense energy!

very good!

Beltz's lips curled up. It was truly effortless; he had obtained these fragments of the Spirit King so easily.

These fragments of the Spirit King were either scraped directly from the Spirit King's body, or extracted from the souls that housed the fragments of the Spirit King over the long course of time.

These fragments of the Spirit King, if put together, would be no less than the size of a hand, right?

The Soul King's hand was roughly at the level of his personal guard, and after receiving Yhwach's blessing, it was even able to gain power surpassing that of the Grim Reaper.

He tried to put these fragments into his shadow.

But it's unclear whether the Tsunayashiro family did something to these fragments, because as soon as they disappeared into Belz's shadow, an alarm immediately went off throughout the Tsunayashiro family compound!

'

'

Beltz remained calm; he simply stepped back and prepared to leave.

"Who goes there?!"

But before he could leave the Tsunayo family, he heard a roar!

A middle-aged man wielding what appeared to be an ordinary, shallow-cut Zanpakuto rushed rapidly toward Beltz.

Tsk ————

They've been discovered.

Normally, someone of this man's caliber shouldn't have been able to discover him so quickly.

Was it because they tampered with those fragments of the Spirit King that they were able to lock themselves in like that?

Or rather—

Is it the effect of the Zanpakuto in his hand?

Well, he also wants to get his hands on a Zanpakuto.

Unlike other Zanpakuto, the Zanpakuto in the hands of this middle-aged man is called Enra Kagami-den, and like the Ise family's Eight Mirrors Sword, it is also a special family heirloom Zanpakuto.

Its name is Yanluo Mirror, and its power is—

The ability to copy other people's Zanpakuto!

This ability is incredibly overpowered. For example, if Senbonzakura could combine with Suzumebachi's ability and then add Kyoka Suigetsu, it would be ridiculously strong.

But faced with such a powerful weapon, Beltz did not dodge.

"Let's give it a try—I want to use this amazing weapon too."

At this moment, another idea arose in Beltz's mind—
