Infinite: Start as a ghost

Szayelaporro was stunned. He didn't want to die, but what he feared more than death was losing to his backup in terms of technology.

However, it actually happened, and he was sentenced to death in such an extremely humiliating manner.

“No, no, no, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it, this is impossible!” Szayelaporro went mad: “He is just my backup, he is just my backup, he is just my backup.”

"How could he possibly beat me? How could I possibly lose to him?"

"I won't accept it! I won't accept it!"

Sheen watched coldly: "Ha, the rage of the incompetent."

No sooner had he finished speaking than his arm was severed.

Jiang Jiu stared coldly at him: "Sal Apollo is my subordinate, what right do you have to insult him?"

Sheen broke out in a cold sweat and immediately knelt down: "I...I'm sorry, my lord, I deserve to die."

“You shouldn’t die, you are the winner, you won,” Jiang Jiu said coldly. “But you insulted my men, so the reward and punishment cancel each other out. Step down.”

"Yes, yes, I'll leave right away." With a terrified look on his face, Xien hurriedly left the scene and returned to his palace, trembling with fear, not even daring to pick up his severed arm.

No one in the entire Hueco Mundo community dared to express any opinion about this behavior, including Souichi Azashiro.

Just a few days ago, Jiang Jiu's spiritual pressure had erupted once, overwhelming the entire Hueco Mundo.

That night, all the creatures in Hueco Mundo were unable to sleep, succumbing to fear that went beyond their instincts.

That very night, the several Broken Faces finally understood the real reason why Souya Momochi had asked Jiang to come to Hueco Mundo to oversee things.

That night, Shi Cheng Shuang also experienced extreme fear.

That night, Jiang Jiu's former subordinates also realized his true strength and were completely convinced.

That night was a night of terror for the entire Hueco Mundo.

This kind of terror cannot be erased in just a few days.

This terror surpassed Hollows' fear of the Soul Society and their fear of death.

Everyone understood the terror of Jiang Jiu, except for two people.

Flame Dragon and Coral Island.

Coral Island was completely indifferent to Jiang Jiu's power.

I only know that he is very strong, but I don't have a specific concept of how strong he is, so I treat him the same way I treated him before.

As an old friend, Yanlong understands Jiang Jiu's character and will not be afraid of Jiang Jiu's strength.

He just didn't expect Jiang Jiu to suddenly become so strong. They used to be evenly matched 7 to 3, which left him speechless.

Jiang Jiu, with his hands behind his back, said, "Sal Apollo, you lost. You deserved to die."

"But as my subordinate, I'll spare your life. Whether you live or die is entirely up to fate."

"As long as you survive, there is still a chance to defeat Sheen."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Szayelaporro's eyes lit up: "My lord, no, master, please punish me."

"Two guests have arrived at the Great Void Forest," Jiang Jiu said with a smile. "Kill them, or die at their hands."

"I don't know the exact timeframe, but I can tell you one thing."

"If you fail to kill them before they leave, you will have no other chance."

"Excuse me, Master, who are those two people?" Szayelaporro asked tentatively.

Jiang Jiu said, "Go find it yourself; this is also your punishment."

Chapter 271 Mayuri Kurotsuchi's Choice

He didn't care about Szayelaporro's fate.

Both Yamada Keinokiyo and Sanjuro Hikoya are captain-level powerhouses; there's no reason for them to lose.

Szayelaporro and Yamada Sugenoki's abilities are mutually restraining, making it difficult to determine who is superior.

However, with Chan Juan Yanmi by Jie Zhiqing's side, Szayelaporro had absolutely no chance of winning, which was not even worth considering.

If he was just testing their strength, he certainly wouldn't die; at most, he would just be defeated and forced to retreat.

But Jiang Jiu's order to him was to fight to the death, so he was certain to die on this mission.

After the verdict, while everyone was still present, Jiang Jiu immediately announced an order.

"From today onwards, the current Espada and the Espada Captain will each have the sole purpose of killing two people."

"Yoruichi Shifouin, Kisuke Urahara."

Jiang Jiu had not forgotten the dirty tricks these two had played on him.

However, as his vision, status, and strength improved, he temporarily put his hatred aside.

Now that he holds a high position, these people pose no threat to him at all. For him to personally seek revenge would be beneath him.

Since Hueco Mundo and Soul Society are currently at peace, it would be better to bring some minor disturbances to these three worlds, which would be a source of amusement and could also promote progress for both sides.

Although he hadn't forgotten his hatred for the two men, they were now nothing more than ants to him.

They are no longer worthy of my personal intervention; they are only fit to be toyed with and played with.

After saying this, Jiang Jiu left Hueco Mundo and returned to the Spirit King's Palace.

He embarked on the path of spiritual practice once again.

Soul Society...

Kisuke Urahara brings Nemu Kurotsuchi to Rukongai.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi looked at the two of them, her expression somewhat unpleasant: "What do you mean by bringing her here to see me?"

Kisuke Urahara chuckled and said, "Don't you miss her? Wouldn't it be better if I brought her here to meet you?"

Excitedly, Nemu grabbed Mayuri's arm and exclaimed, "Mayuri-sama, you're alive! You're still alive!"

Mayuri wanted to forcefully break free from her, but she couldn't bear to.

He is not the real person, so he cannot insult her as freely as the real person. His current attitude towards Nie Yinmeng is more one of cherishing her.

Moreover, putting aside his arrogant nature, he actually quite enjoyed the feeling of Nie Yinmeng holding him.

"Why did you bring her here?" Mayuri Kurotsuchi asked again.

“Didn’t I tell you I’d let you meet?” Kisuke Urahara said.

“Number 7 is not going to talk, so you tell him,” Mayuri Kurotsuchi said.

Nie Yinmeng looked bewildered: "Nothing else, I just wanted to see you."

She asked in confusion, "Lord Mayuri Kurotsuchi, since you are still alive, why don't you rejoin the team?"

Faced with this question, Mayuri Kurotsuchi was somewhat at a loss for words.

Judging from her questions, she doesn't realize that she's just a backup, not the real person.

How could Mayuri Kurotsuchi bear to deceive her and destroy her dreams?

"Stop nagging. Do I need you to tell me what to do?" So, he pushed Nie Yinmeng away in his usual tone.

Faced with that familiar tone and attitude, Nie Yinmeng's slight sense of unease completely disappeared.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi grabbed Kisuke Urahara by the collar: "Tell me right now, what exactly happened?"

"There are only three of us here, what can't we just say openly?"

"You wouldn't do something so easily that would give you away without a special reason."

Kisuke Urahara let him grab his collar without resisting at all, and instead took out a fan and fanned himself a few times.

"Oh my, as expected of Captain Nekomamushi, nothing escapes your eyes."

He immediately put away his smile and said, "Kenpachi Zaraki's training is over, and the 46th Chamber wants her to take over the Technology Development Bureau again."

"Although my position has not been changed and I am still the captain, she has been appointed as the advisor of the 12th Division, and her real power is above mine."

“If Nie Yinmeng stays there, she will find out sooner or later.”

"Given her personality, she won't hold back. She'll definitely try to analyze Nie Yinmeng to study your secrets."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi tightened his grip: "You should have thought of this problem when Senjumaru came down."

“Yes, I thought of that a long time ago,” Kisuke Urahara said with a hint of helplessness. “But I didn’t expect them to make a decision so quickly.”

"It's only been a little over a year since the captain was replaced. According to the usual practice of Seireitei, there should be at least a ten-year change. I don't know what's wrong with the 46 Chambers."

Nie Yinmeng was completely confused: "Captain, Lord Nie, what are you talking about?"

Kisuke Urahara patted her head with a hint of heartache: "From now on, you will no longer serve as the vice-captain of the 12th Division. You have been expelled."

"If she leaves like this, it will definitely affect you. What do you plan to do?" Mayuri Kurotsuchi already understood what he meant. He wanted Mayuri to take Nemu Kurotsuchi away from Seireitei, preferably away from Soul Society.

"What does this have to do with me?" Kisuke Urahara said. "Did I know she was gone?"

"She left a letter and left the squad without permission, she left the Seireitei without permission, what does that have to do with me?"

"I want to work with everyone to catch the traitor!"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi was silent for a moment, then said, "There are two sets of spirit skeletons."

“Apart from Aizen, Tosen, Gin and I, all the other captains have copies.”

"I'll take one set with me, and you can have the other one."

"The set I gave you had a spiritual pressure that exceeded my own by about 30%, and even I had a hard time controlling it."

"I'm leaving Soul Society with Sleep 7. I don't have the equipment to continue researching, so I'll leave them with you."

"I'll use the set I took with me to protect myself."

Kisuke Urahara nodded: "Have a safe journey."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi took Nemu Kurotsuchi's hand, just like when she was a little girl: "Let's go, Nemu 7."

Nemu was somewhat surprised by Mayuri's actions; he was being a little too "gentle."

A few days later, he left Soul Society with a group of mindless spirits and came to the human world to evade Soul Society's pursuit.
