From the Wandenreich's escape to One Piece

Chapter 83 Hogyoku!

If we were to ask what Belz most desired in the world of Bleach, it would definitely be the Hogyoku!

However, he is a Quincy, not a Shinigami, so he cannot contact Rukia Kuchiki from the outside world.

Now that he has finally escaped the Invisible Empire, how could he possibly let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Knowing that Yhwach would disrupt the Soul Society, he only needed to wait for the Soul Society to be at its most chaotic, and then he would have a chance to kidnap Rukia!

Many people believe that the Hogyoku inside Rukia was implanted by Kisuke Urahara after she arrived in the human world, during a period when he was replacing her artificial body.

This is actually a misconception.

The Hogyoku was actually implanted into Rukia's body a long time ago.

Aizen had long been certain that the Hogyoku was inside Rukia, but he hadn't been in a hurry to remove it.

Rukia's trip to Karakura Town was arranged by Aizen, and the reason she would transfer all her spiritual power to Ichigo Kurosaki was due to the influence of the Hogyoku.

Therefore, Beltz has always been thinking about Rukia.

There are two Hogyoku in total. One is in Aizen's possession, and he created it himself.

The other one is inside Rukia's body; it was created by Kisuke Urahara.

Later, Aizen obtained the Hogyoku inside Rukia's body and fused it with his own Hogyoku, which became the Hogyoku that ultimately helped Aizen continuously evolve.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the Hogyoku inside Rukia's body can only be considered as half of the real Hogyoku.

According to Aizen, neither his nor Urahara Kisuke's Hogyoku is complete.

But whether it's complete or not, this thing is a sacred relic in the world of Bleach!

If given the chance, he would definitely get his hands on it!

If we miss this opportunity, we really don't know when we'll get another one.

Fortunately, the Five Elders did attract the attention of the Grim Reapers, and most importantly, they actually combined their powers to create Im!

Im's Conqueror's Haki and Dark Transformation Domination threw the Soul Society into chaos, giving Beltz the opportunity to transform into a giant dragon and break in!

Furthermore, Beltz used his skills as a psychologist to give everyone who saw him a psychological suggestion: to make them see him as an imposter.

Although the spiritual pressure on his body is not illusory, it doesn't matter what kind of spiritual pressure he has, as long as others perceive it to be.

Therefore, afterwards, the Grim Reapers would only target the Hollows.

Even if the empire in the shadows discovered this azure dragon, it wouldn't be surprising.

After all, he's a Hollow. He took advantage of the chaos to come to the Soul Society and devour a Shinigami. What's so strange about that?

Even if there are important figures, such as Haschward, who are monitoring the Soul Society, their focus is definitely on the merged Im.

At this moment, he was leading Rukia towards Rukongai, rapidly moving away from the Soul Society. When he felt it was about time, he hid in a deep mountain.

He opened his mouth and spat Rukia out.

Because she had been inside his mouth for a long time, Rukia still had Beltz's saliva on her body, or, to put it in a more fantastical way, it should be considered dragon's saliva.

She was currently hypnotized by Beltz's abilities and was in a deep sleep.

Then Beltz grabbed Rukia's hand again, and the next moment he activated the spatial teleportation, entering the world of One Piece.

And within the invisible empire.

-

Hasward is reporting to Yhwach what is happening in Soul Court.

"This experiment was a great success."

Yhwach commented that sending the Five Elders to the Soul Society to cause trouble was not only to use the power of the Shinigami to investigate the Abyss, but also, most importantly, to test the Five Elders' abilities.

After all, the previous month-long Star Cross selection could not test the current abilities of the Five Elders.

That month was for them to grow, and after they finished growing, they would naturally be put to the test.

And the Seireitei is the best place.

The result was very satisfactory to Yhwach.

The Five Elders' own combat power is secondary; the most important thing is that Yhwach, as the Soul King, saw Im deep within the souls of the five of them.

Just because others can't see it doesn't mean Yhwach can't see it.

Yhwach immediately recognized that the Five Elders, whose bodies had been destroyed by the Unseen Empire, contained the souls of others.

The Five Elders are merely puppets, just like his Sternritter, or rather, his personal guard.

The true mastermind is this dark shadow hidden deep within the souls of the Five Elders!

He used his own soul to activate the power of Im within the Five Elders, and then combined the five of them, ultimately successfully creating Im.

The sacred letter IMU can currently only exert a portion of its power.

"After all, the Five Elders are still too young." Only when they have fully matured can Im, born from their fusion, unleash his full power.

Very good, Yhwach was very satisfied with this experiment.

The black dominance it exhibits will certainly be of great use in war.

And that immortal body—

If given the opportunity, it could even spread to more people.

If every Sternritter were immortal, they would not only be further controlled by him, but would also display even stronger and more terrifying combat power in battle.

Just as Beltz had thought, the main focus of the Unknown Empire was Im.

The Azure Dragon that Beltz transformed into went to a very remote corner, and no one noticed it.

Even if you notice it, you'll just think it's fake, and there's really nothing strange about it.

After all, he only ate one Grim Reaper and left; he didn't cause any major incident.

Meanwhile, the Soul Society was also unaware of Rukia's disappearance; they were busy dealing with the Shinigami who had been corrupted.

The death knell that Black turns into spreads very quickly because it doesn't transform one after another; the more Black pieces there are, the faster White's transformation speed will be.

So in just a short while, the number of demons had increased from hundreds to nearly a thousand.

The captains wouldn't kill these demons and reapers, but rather capture them alive and send them either to prison or to Mayuri Kurotsuchi's laboratory.

In fact, Mayuri Kurotsuchi's original plan was to send all the demons and Shinigami to the Technology Development Bureau. However, the other captains were worried that Mayuri would be tormented to death by these demons and Shinigami, so they kept some of them in prison.

And so Beltz brought Rukia to the world of One Piece.

At this moment, he was getting closer and closer to the Sabaody Archipelago.

Besides the technology he copied from Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Vegapunk also absolutely had to analyze the Hogyoku inside Rukia's body.

If Vegapunk could copy another Hogyoku, he'd be set for life!
