Infinite: Start as a ghost

Upon hearing this, Yamamoto fell silent.

“It’s time for us to awaken Zaraki,” Kyoraku said. “There are too many variables right now, and no one can control them. It’s time to help him awaken.”

Yamamoto stood up: "I've wanted to do this for a long time, but those guys in Room 46 will never agree to it."

Kyoraku said in a heavy tone, "Grandpa, the Hogyoku is not in our hands."

A sharp glint flashed in Yamamoto's eyes: "I understand..."

Hueco Mundo, the Great Forest of Hueco Mundo.

Souichi Shiro also regularly cleans up a wave of Hollows here, turning them into Hueco Mundo's spiritual particles.

Today, as usual, he was surrounded by empty corpses, and then he coughed and gasped for breath.

"Who?"

He shouted and looked into the distance.

"You're here, Kenpachi Azajo." The figure in the distance slowly approached him; it was Yamada Kazuyuki.

"Projection?" Shi Cheng Shuang also snorted coldly: "What does the dean of the Great Pharmacy want with me?"

"I've brought you a gift," Jie Zhiqing said with a smile. "The gift is at Kurosaki's private clinic in Karakura Town."

"Was this your idea, or Tsunayoshi Tokinada's?" Souya Azashiro sneered, "What are you two up to, acting so sneakily?"

"It's said that Kenpachi Azajo's ability is to know everything within his domain, but that doesn't seem to be entirely true," Jie Zhiqing said with a calm smile. "Don't you know our plan?"

"Just a coward." Mochishiro Shuang also said coldly, "The reason why Tsunayoshi Tokinada entered the Palace of Repentance was also to use the Killing Aura Stone to shield me, right?"

"Say what you will." Jie Zhiqing chuckled lightly. "Accept our gift. At least you won't have to hide in a deserted place to vomit blood like you do now."

“You’ll regret this,” said Mochishiro Shuangye.

Jie Zhiqing shrugged: "Then it's none of my business, it wasn't my idea."

Then, he revealed a smile even more wicked than Orochimaru's: "I really want to see what the principle behind your Rain Dew Pomegranate is."

With a gentle wave of his hand, Shiro Sōya's projection of Jie Zhiqing vanished.

“A coward who doesn’t even dare to meet me formally dares to talk nonsense with me.”

After eliminating Jie Zhiqing's projection, he pondered alone.

"They won't do anything pointless. Are they trying to use me to keep the Gotei 13 in check?"

"Fine, you damned nobles, since you want to play games, then I'll grant your wish and accept your so-called gift."

"Let's see who has the last laugh."

Back at Hueco Mundo, he summoned Ichinose and Enryu and told them what had happened.

"What do you think?" Shiro asked.

Ichinose approached Azashiro Sōya with a respectful demeanor, but did not kneel.

The people worthy of his kneeling were, first, Oniwajo Kenpachi, then Yagarishi, and finally, Jiang Jiu.

Now, although he is willing to assist Yanlong and Zhicheng Jianba, he will only kneel before Jiang Jiu.

He bowed slightly: "Your subordinate is willing to go."

“He’s the most suitable to go.” Yanlong agreed: “He’s the most suitable to go. He’ll be inconspicuous and won’t cause any disturbances, so he won’t attract the attention of the Soul Society.”

"Our goals are too big, and it's not the right time to take action."

Chapter 242 Hyosube Ichibei's Actions

The Palace of the Spirit King.

"My king, your mind has recently traveled out twice. What happened?"

Hyōsuke Ichibei quietly approached the King of Rei, his arrival unknown to anyone.

"It's nothing." The Spirit King's physical body was sealed inside a crystal-like energy body, unable to speak or move, and could only communicate through consciousness.

"Is it Yuha?" Hyosube Ichibei asked.

"I know the battle song that circulates within the Sternritter."

"The sealed Quincy King".

"The heartbeat was retrieved after 900 years."

"It took 90 years to regain consciousness."

"It took nine years to regain our strength."

"The time is almost up."

King Ling denied it: "It wasn't him, it wasn't Youha."

"So, something's happened to Kurosaki Ichigo's younger brother?" Hyosube asked.

"No, it's not him either," King Ling denied again.

"So, is it Ginjo Kugo?" Hyosube asked again.

"No, not exactly," King Ling denied repeatedly.

The warlord was somewhat confused: "Then what exactly..."

The Spirit King sighed silently: "I...don't know."

"Don't know?" Now, the Minister of War was truly puzzled. Was there anything in the world that the Spirit King didn't know?

"Yes, I don't know," said the Spirit King. "My time is almost up, and you know my plans for the future."

"The one who will succeed to the throne of the Soul King is one of the three: Ginjou Kugo, Kurosaki Ichigo, or Yhwach."

"But recently a fourth person has appeared. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

"A fourth person?" Bingzhubu was shocked: "How can there be a fourth person? Where did this fourth person come from? Why can't I sense them?"

"That's why I said I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

The Spirit King said, "This person's appearance is very abrupt and extraordinary. He has constructed a new world within my world."

“If he hadn’t entered his own world, I would never have been able to discover him.”

"For example...now."

Bingzhubu asked, "Have you glimpsed his inner thoughts?"

"Unable to spy on."

The warlord then asked, "What should we do?"

Before King Ling could speak, the Minister of War continued, "You are a benevolent king, and I do not wish for you to utter words such as 'wait and see' or 'trust others.'"

"You sacrificed your limbs and internal organs for the world and for all living beings. You have done so much for this world."

"So please continue to be a little cruel for the sake of this world."

The Spirit King remained silent...

Hyosubu said, "Then, I'll be going."

The Spirit King's tone was slightly anxious: "You might not be able to come back."

Hyosubu laughed: "Then I won't go back. Please have someone else take care of you in my place. I recommend Kiryu to succeed my Shinmei-dono."

"No." The Soul King said firmly, "I believe in the Soul Society, I believe in Yhwach, I believe in Ichigo Kurosaki."

"I believe they will handle all of this well."

Hyosubu lowered his head in deep thought and made a decision.

"No." The Spirit King seemed somewhat furious: "You are not allowed to attack him."

"Please allow me to defy your will for the first time, my king, my revered supreme being."

Somewhere in the present world...

The Fullbringers are hiding in a secret space.

Apart from Yincheng, everyone else looked rather somber.

"How can you still laugh?" Liluka said unhappily. "What should we do now? I think we should just disband the club."

Yukio was still the same as always, expressionless as he played some game on his PSP. Staring at the game screen, he asked, "What do you want to do after the group disbands? What can you do?"

“I studied design, so working in a clothing store won’t be a problem,” Liluka said with a hint of pride.

Jackie's face darkened: "Don't make inappropriate jokes at a time like this."

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Liluka asked. "How are we supposed to find that person named Dao Ula in this vast sea of ​​people?"

“It’s Dohane Aura,” Tsukishima Hidekuro chuckled.

"Who cares what it's called?" Liluka said irritably. "This world is so big, how are we supposed to find it?"

“It’s her, not him,” Yin Cheng corrected. “She’s a woman, you know.”

"Tch..." Liluka scoffed, "Why do I care if she's a man or a woman?"

"Whether she's a man or a woman, the problem is we can't find her."

"If we can't find her, what difference does it make whether she's a man or a woman?"

"Don't rush," Yincheng laughed. "How long have we been searching?"

"Trust me, trust the organization. I can find you, and of course I can find Daoyugen Awula."

Just moments ago, Liluka was incredibly agitated, but suddenly she fell silent.

She crouched down, burying her head between her legs: "I say, besides that woman, are we really the only Fullbringers left in this world?"

Yukio's hands paused for a moment.

Jackie's coffee cup trembled slightly.

Tatsuzawa Kiriko stopped wiping the wine glass in her hand.

In an instant, an eerie and silent atmosphere filled the organization.
