Infinite: Start as a ghost

"Uh..." In this situation, he could only remain speechless.

He had been beaten up for who knows how long, but his body was still completely unharmed.

At most, I lost a few strands of hair.

With Kushanata's death, the Hell Guardians' scattered forces were all gathered back.

However, their numbers are simply too large.

Although the power bestowed upon Kushanata was immense, once divided into hundreds or thousands of parts, this power became negligible.

Jiang Jiu originally wanted to find everyone first, but found the harassment from the Hell Guardians too annoying.

So it took some time to completely absorb the Hell Guardians.

His skull armor also evolved accordingly.

At first, it turned from blood red to gold, and then from gold to white.

It wasn't a "void" white like the void, but more like the white of "platinum".

Thousands of hell guards vanished without a trace.

Jiang Jiu stared at the ground for a long time, but finally shook his head and gave up the idea of ​​exploring further.

He was certain that there was another layer below, the final hell, where all the true powerhouses were gathered.

Captains of all generations, heads of the four great noble families, and Kenpachi of all generations.

In his imagination, the previous Kenpachi were not the strongest; the strongest were most likely the ancestors of the four noble families and the first captains.

On one side are powerful figures who follow the Spirit King to fight and kill in the three realms, and on the other side are assassin groups that established the Yamamoto era. Both are supreme powerhouses who have lived in the midst of killing for a long time.

Not only them, but also the old members who followed Yhwach in the past, and the Hollows that could only be subdued by the Soul King.

Going down there would be no benefit other than satisfying one's curiosity.

Therefore, Jiang Jiu abandoned this dangerous idea.

He then spent a great deal of time finding Crimson Lotus, Black Blade, Szayelaporro, and Aronino.

Oh, now we should call him Plum Needle.

"My lord, why?" Honglian asked, her face filled with resentment. "I did nothing to betray you, why kill me?"

Jiang Jiu pointed at the black knife and said, "You killed her sister, so I can only choose one of you two."

"He's better than you, smarter than you, of course you should choose him."

Upon hearing this, Honglian and Heidao were both stunned and said in unison, "He (I) didn't kill my (his) sister."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiu was stunned. Had he misremembered the plot?

"I'm telling you, if he didn't kill your sister, then why did you scheme against him in every way possible?"

“Because my sister was killed by an evil person, I want to become an evil person and kill all the evil people in the world,” Black Knife said. “And I want to leave hell and escape my identity as a culprit through them.”

Jiang Jiu: "..."

"Alright, then you don't have to die."

Honglian stared at Jiang Jiu with a resentful look, making him feel quite embarrassed.

"Alright, alright, it was my fault." Jiang Jiu turned her head away: "I'll take you away from hell now."

For Jiang Jiu, helping them get rid of their culpability was very simple, requiring only two steps.

First, cut the chains on their chests.

Second, destroy the gates of hell.

Once the gates of hell are destroyed, the miasma unique to hell will inevitably flow into the mortal world, bringing chaos.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jiu grinned: "Damn Soul Society, you're in for a lot of trouble again."

Just then, a new Hellguard appeared.

Subsequently, one after another, Hell Guardians were created.

"My lord, the guards have revived. We must hurry," Honglian said anxiously.

Jiang Jiu looked at them with some confusion, then immediately understood.

These guards are not resurrected, but rather a new batch created by the will of hell.

As long as Hell is not destroyed and the spiritual energy within it is not depleted, the guardians of Hell will never be in short supply.

"Let's go." Jiang Jiu casually cut the chains of the four people and led them to the first floor.

When Jiang Jiu arrived at the gates of hell, he paused for a moment.

Although he didn't spend much time in hell, his experience there left a deep impression on him.

He was somewhat moved by Aizen's final liberation.

He revealed the identity of the stranger who had intruded and confronted the Spirit King.

After facing the Soul King, he began to understand Aizen's thoughts and actions from the depths of his heart.

However, Aizen was destined to fail.

and so……

Thinking of this, Jiang Jiu gave a wry smile: "So, is it my turn?"

At the last moment, Jiang Jiu acknowledged Aizen and revealed his real name.

Even in the Demon Slayer world, he never revealed his real name, at most telling others "Mr. Jiang".

In most cases, he only uses the identity of "Mr. Ghost" to face everything.

This time, he told Aizen his real name, his true name.

This was his final expression of admiration and respect for Aizen.

"My lord?" Seeing Jiang Jiu in a daze, the group called out cautiously.

"It's alright." Jiang came to her senses and performed a sword flourish: "Beginning Breathing, Ending Form, Fire..."

Mei Zhen's pupils contracted: "He's gotten stronger again. I've never seen this move before!"

"Let's go... get out of here." Jiang Jiu sheathed his Zanpakuto and led the four of them out of Hell.

The outer circle of the dotted circle...

The Pikachu herd frolicked and played around Sheen.

"Hey, hey, what are we competing on next?" Picalo, one of the guys wearing headphones, asked excitedly. "Whose data are we going to get this time?"

Sheen absorbed all of Yammy's combat information and a smile appeared on his lips: "The former Tenth Espada... oh no, let's go find him in the mortal world."

"Let's have a competition to see who can find the Skeleton Emperor's combat data first."

"Alright, alright." A Pikachu climbed onto Sheen's neck: "Now it's time for you to start your punishment, giddy up, giddy up... hahaha."

Sheen: "..."

Another little girl, Pikalo, shouted, "Hey, you're cheating, Prannoy! We clearly agreed that I would be the first to ride!"

"Oh, oh, sorry, Mia." Pikachu, whose name was Pram, immediately got down: "It was so much fun, I forgot."

As they spoke, they switched to having one person ride the bike.

Sheen: "..."

The dignified 3rd Espada is being ridden like a horse by a child, and he can't even get angry.

This made him feel very frustrated.

Sheen suppressed his anger and tried to clear his mind.

"Just a little bit more, just a little bit more."

"As long as I get my hands on Barragan's power, I will be able to protect myself."

"At that time, I will no longer need to consider others, no longer need to consider Kenpachi Azajo, and I can boldly do what I want to do."

"Just wait, Kenpachi Azajo, I am the true king of Hueco Mundo."

Chapter 240 Jiang Jiu's Final Deployment

Jiang Jiu led the four people back to Jiaogu Base.

"You're back?" Coral Island asked without even looking up, staring at the instruments.

Koga Takeshi, Kibune Risa, and Amagai Shusuke had no time to attend to Jiang Jiu, as they were still working hard to seal their Zanpakuto.

"Hmm." Jiang Jiu replied simply, and then issued the first order to the four new members.

Black Knife, Red Lotus, and Plum Needle replaced them to give them a breather.

Szayelaporro was assigned to assist Coral Island and work as her assistant.

In this way, Jiang Jiu had nothing to do for a short period of time, and the goal was basically achieved.

The remaining tasks are fusing the Hogyoku and developing new combat techniques.

It was Aizen's idea to integrate "Slaying Fist and Sweeping Demon" into one, creating something far superior to Shunpo.

The fusion of the Hogyoku relies on time and the Hogyoku's own level of acceptance; it does not affect the user's actions.

Jiang Jiu believed that he was no worse than Aizen, and that his reputation should be established, so he left everything else to time.

During the time he spent seizing the Hogyoku and causing havoc in Hell, he felt that he and the Hogyoku had already achieved the initial fusion.

In terms of percentages, it's roughly one to two percent.

It took him several days from seizing the Hogyoku to emerging from Hell. At this rate, it would take about two years to fully integrate with the Hogyoku, which is also the time when the Quincy attacked Soul Society.

By then, even if his Hōgyoku isn't fully fused, it won't be a big problem.

If what the Soul King said is true, and omniscience and omnipotence have no effect on him, then Yhwach is just an ordinary Quincy with relatively strong spiritual power to him, nothing more.

He was absolutely confident that he could master the new combat techniques within two years.

Furthermore, at the moment he stole the Hōgyoku, Jiang Jiu completed a system task and unlocked the skill: True Demon. (Sorry, I forgot this because it's been so long since I wrote anything; I'm adding it now.)
