Infinite: Start as a ghost

Double spiritual pressure...

Evenly matched...

Counter-hand suppression...

Destroy and devour both...

The whole process took a long time, but it proceeded smoothly without any surprises.

The real world...

All six were covered in sweat and were close to collapsing.

"My God, how did I survive a whole week?" Yanlong complained.

“He’s almost out of the game, let’s give it another push,” Tianbei said.

"Huh?" Coral Island's eyes widened: "They're here!"

"What's here?" Koga asked.

"Mr. Ghost is back," Coral Island said.

"Hmm..." Jiang Jiu stopped moving and let out a long breath.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

If Jiang Jiu were to be devoured by the Void, she would absolutely not be able to relax; instead, she would go berserk.

Jiang Jiu slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with exhaustion.

He had fought hard before, but at most he would only be panting heavily; he had never felt so utterly exhausted as he did today.

The ghost's stamina, which was nearly limitless, had also reached its limit.

This is a depletion of mental energy.

"How is it?" Coral Island asked with concern.

Jiang Jiu mumbled weakly, "I need... to get some sleep."

There are no beds in the base because no one needs to sleep.

Jiang Jiu simply turned over casually and fell into a deep sleep.

Chapter 182 Hollowing Out

Jiang Jiu had never felt so tired before.

After a week of non-stop fighting, he was still being crushed, which kept him in a state of high-intensity confrontation.

High-intensity confrontation isn't limited to stalemates; this level of situation is far more serious.

There's a saying that life is worse than death, and Jiang Jiu maintained this state for a whole week.

Jiang Jiu is immortal, so his pain never stops, which keeps his mind highly focused.

Because it is in one's own inner world, and because in one's inner world one is a spiritual being, it is impossible for him to faint.

Under such circumstances, he still needs to maintain a clear mind, assess the situation, the state of the two people, and the surrounding environment, etc.

These things take a huge toll on mental energy.

It was under these circumstances that Jiang Jiu maintained this condition for a full week.

If it were someone else, they might have already died from mental instability, becoming a permanent vegetable or an idiot.

He slowly opened his eyes: "How long have I been asleep?"

“Three days.” Coral Island replied, “Christmas is just a few days away.”

"Is it the end of December already?" Jiang Jiu got up from the ground. "Christmas, what a familiar name."

Is the new year almost here?

"Since gaining spiritual power, I understand less and less about human activities. We are ultimately becoming more and more distant from ordinary people."

Yanlong said, "I don't know what Christmas is. I'm not human."

Jiang Jiu asked, "Are you a native of Soul Society?"

“Yes,” Yanlong said. “Ryudoji was originally a high-ranking noble family, the highest-ranking noble family besides the four great noble families.”

“Christmas has a special meaning for Westerners,” Jiang Jiu said. “Forget about that, I’m an Easterner, so these things don’t really concern me.”

"None of that matters. I only care about your mastery of the Hollowfication technique," Tenbei Shusuke said. "Did you succeed?"

Jiang Jiu paused for a moment, then suddenly unleashed her spiritual pressure.

The illusory mask did not appear; it was Jiang Jiu who changed.

His skin turned completely white, and his spiritual pressure surged once again.

“This is… a combination of the power of the Visored and the Arrancar.” Jiang Jiu sensed his own power: “I have been in close contact with the Visored for a period of time, and I even directly absorbed the Arrancar.”

"The last plum needle made me understand the difference between the two and how to combine them."

"Even though you're dead, you still sent me such a big gift. I don't know how to thank you enough, Meizhen."

"Such power..." the group exclaimed.

Jiang Jiu said, "I'm afraid there are only a very few people in the world who are stronger than me now."

“Aizen, Ayahbach, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, Hyosube Ichibei, these people are definitely stronger than me.”

"I don't know who is stronger between me and her, but there is someone stronger than me, and that is Usumi Hikoya, who hasn't been born yet in this timeline!"

"Is your white skin made of fuzzy steel?" Tianbei asked.

“Yes,” Jiang Jiu said, “From now on, I will not only have extreme offensive power, but also extremely strong defensive power.”

Although his strength has increased again, Jiang Jiu knows that he is still no match for Aizen.

"Keep an eye out for Christmas," Jiang Jiu said to the group. "Aizen is a man who values ​​rituals, and he will most likely choose this day to attack the human world."

"That means Christmas Day will be the day of the final battle between Soul Society and Hueco Mundo."

"After lying in wait for so long, have we finally met our match?" Yanlong murmured to himself.

Tenbei Shusuke wiped his Zanpakuto clean again and again: "I can finally take revenge on Yamamoto."

“Yes,” Jiang Jiu said. “After the great battle between Soul Society and Aizen, Yamamoto will definitely be in his weakest state in a thousand years.”

"Have you all mastered the breathing techniques to their fullest extent?"

Everyone nodded.

This is the limit of their potential growth in the short term.

At this moment, Tenbei Shusuke finally caught up with Yanlong's pace.

Everything is ready; we await the final battle.

In Hueco Mundo, Aizen was in a very good mood.

"The Hogyoku has finally completed its fusion and submitted to me."

“Congratulations,” Gin Ichimaru said. “But we still have absolutely no clue about that troublesome guy.”

“It’s alright,” Aizen said. “Aronello was an experiment anyway, so it’s no loss that it died.”

"The fragments of the plum needle ultimately yielded nothing surprising; failure is failure."

“Ruby Antenor is just the right person to take his place.”

"By the way, my Hogyoku has awakened, so we can proceed with the next step of the plan."

Gin Ichimaru chuckled, "Should we let them come over?"

"Hmm... Grimmjow is probably unhappy that you cut off his arm. Let him take Ruby and Yammy and cause a ruckus in the mortal world."

"Tell Uruchiora to bring that woman named Inoue Orihime here!"

Chapter 183 Christmas Eve

The next day, the black cavity appeared.

Ruby, Yammy, and Grimmjow arrive in Karakura Town.

Because of the Toshiro incident, the vice-captains of Soul Society were seriously injured, and then an amnesia incident occurred.

The vice-captains fought while injured, which aggravated their injuries, and Ryosuke Kanai was also held back by the nobles due to the chaos in Soul Society.

Therefore, this world is different from the original work; there is no Grim Reaper guarding it.

However, there is no Grim Reaper in the world, but there is someone else.

The Masked Army stood in their way.

Kisuke Urahara knew that Soul Society was busy restoring order, so he took it upon himself to ask the Visoreds to intervene.

The Visored Corps, also wanting to ease tensions with Soul Society, agreed to the arrangement.

"Where did this Grim Reaper come from again?" Yammy yelled. "He's so annoying!"

Grimmjow's eyes lit up when he saw Ichigo Kurosaki: "You're here too!"

It turns out that after the amnesia incident, Ichigo Kurosaki had been training with the Visoreds.

He showed little interest in Grimmjow: "Now that you know I'm here, why don't you leave?"

Then her gaze shifted to his right arm: "What happened to your hand?"

Grimmjow said, "This is all thanks to you."

After their last battle, both Ichigo Kurosaki and Tosen fainted and were unaware that Tosen was taking him back.

"Last time, I cut off your hand?" He was unconscious and unaware of the effect of his final blow. "You cut it off?" Grimmjow laughed. "You think you could do something like that?"

Ichigo Kurosaki wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Shinji Hirako: "Greetings, Arrancars, my name is Shinji Hirako."

"As you can see, there are seven of us and only three of you. I advise you not to get into a conflict with us."

Yammy laughed wildly: "You think you can scare us with your trash?"
