Let the Bizarre Adventure of the Joestars begin.

"Where does your confidence come from?" But to Aizen, Jeanne's confidence seemed completely unfounded.

However, in any case, Miss Jeanne has managed to appease the young girl Aizen.

Now that the preparations are complete, all that remains is to head to Hueco Mundo.

Soul Slayer: Chapter Ten - Journey to Hueco Mundo

Heading to Hueco Mundo was Soul Society's first attempt, the first time they had attempted it because of one person.

Of course, only four people knew about this when it came time to open the passage to Hueco Mundo.

"Miss Jeanne, I'm ready." After confirming that he was fully prepared, Kisuke Urahara finally signaled to Jeanne, who had been reading a book the whole time, that he was ready.

"Well, see you later, Aizen." In response to Kisuke Urahara's words, Jeanne turned to Aizen, who was sitting next to her, to indicate that it was time for her to leave.

"Don't die." Aizen didn't pay much attention to Jeanne's actions. After all, once he learned that the Hollow energy in Hueco Mundo could solve Jeanne's problem, Aizen had no intention of stopping her.

After all, a near-death experience is better than a hopeless one.

"Death is a long way off for me." As for Aizen's farewell, Miss Jeanne didn't intend to complain or say anything else. Instead, she simply stated that she wouldn't die and then left.

After Jeanne stepped into the passage, Aizen's solitary figure appeared somewhat lonely.

"Urahara, she won't die, will she?" It seems that Aizen is not very confident about Urahara Kisuke's thing. But in reality, it is understandable that he is not confident. After all, Aizen heard that this thing was actually made in only three days.

"Although it's a temporary black hole, it should be enough to allow someone to pass through safely." Urahara Kisuke's answer to Aizen's question was quite simple, after all, Urahara Kisuke had considerable confidence in his creation.

"So, what about the strength of Hueco Mundo?" Aizen didn't want to comment on Kisuke Urahara's confidence, since he only ever criticized one person: Jeanne, who had just set off for Hueco Mundo.

"Well, it's hard to say." As for Aizen's new problem, Kisuke Urahara didn't know what to say. After all, it was just a newly implemented technology, which meant that Urahara didn't know what the flaws were in this temporary black cavity.

"It's understandable that new technologies have flaws, but if anything happens to Jeanne, you will die, I will kill you." Although there was still a difference in height between the two, at this moment, Urahara Kisuke felt the aura and pressure emanating from Aizen.

"Oh dear, it seems that Miss Jeanne's friend is quite a monster, just like Miss Jeanne herself." Similarly, while Kisuke Urahara may not be on the same level as Miss Jeanne, he is still able to contend with Aizen's aura.

"And your answer?" Aizen didn't care about what was said just now at all, because Aizen had realized the fact that he was a monster a long time ago.

"How strong do you think Jeanne is?" Urahara Kisuke asked in return, responding to Aizen's repeated question. It was a question Aizen hadn't really cared about before, but in any case, he hadn't needed to care about it.

However, this time, after being reminded by Kisuke Urahara, Aizen began to notice the problem.

"So, even though this black cavity is located in the center of Hueco Mundo, Jeanne can still be safe and sound?" In just a moment of thought, Aizen realized that he still knew too little about Jeanne.

"It's hard to say, but if Captain Unohana's information is correct, then there aren't many in the entire Hueco Mundo who can fight Jeanne." As for Aizen's question, Kisuke Urahara was quite certain that as long as the entire Black Hollow didn't directly enter the territory of a Vasto Lorde-level Hollow, it would definitely be able to escape.

Of course, if it were to drive into Vastod's territory, the entire Black Hole would probably be destroyed.

"Jeanne, is she strong?" Now, Aizen was paying attention to Jeanne's fighting strength. After all, he only knew that Jeanne was strong, but he didn't know how strong she was.

"Very strong, capable of fighting Captain Unohana without defeat even without Kido and Zanpakuto." As for Aizen's question, Kisuke Urahara couldn't give a definite answer either, because Urahara's information was only obtained from Retsu Unohana, and information that has been passed through a third party becomes less credible, even if that person is the person involved.

After all, intelligence can change due to people's subjective consciousness.

"You must have considered the issue of information transmission, which means that Jeanne already had captain-level combat power before she enrolled." Aizen thought about Urahara Kisuke's words more deeply, after all, Aizen had always believed that Jeanne was someone who was on the same level as him.

Unfortunately, Aizen miscalculated this time.

Aizen hadn't expected that Jeanne's level might be even higher than his own.

"Ah, if Captain Unohana's explanation is correct." Urahara Kisuke added a slight uncertainty at the end as he listened to Aizen's words.

However, Aizen did not respond to this conclusion but simply stared at the black cavity, as if he was thinking about something.

'So, Jeanne has never been on the same level as me?' Looking at the black-faced manga, Aizen fell into a strange, unsettling state.

After all, Aizen always believed that it was right and normal for people to become friends only when they were on the same level.

However, the appearance of Jeanne shattered Aizen's perception. Although Aizen had long been troubled by loneliness because there was no one in the world who was on the same level as him, Jeanne's appearance shattered Aizen's perception and made him realize for the first time the possibility that even if people are not on the same level, they can still become friends.

"So that's how it is." Looking at the black cavity, or rather, at the guy who walked into the black cavity, Aizen realized something.

Aizen finally understood something that had been troubling him, but at the same time, he made a decision.

That was an incredibly important decision, and one that I would dedicate my life to.

And that decision was...

'From now on, no matter what, I will catch up with Jeanne and reach the same level as her.'

On this day, having discovered his friend's secret, Aizen made a decision that would affect his entire life.

Soul Slayer: Chapter Eleven - Forbidden Power

Hueco Mundo was far more desolate than what Jeanne saw when she first arrived in Soul Society.

It was a silvery-white desert, and when Jeanne arrived, she sensed that the spiritual energy permeating the atmosphere of Hueco Mundo was higher than that of Soul Society.

"Oh dear, could this place be even more desolate than Soul Society?" Jeanne made this judgment as she looked at the endless desert.

However, it doesn't seem to be completely barren.

The reason, of course, was that Miss Jeanne saw one or two dead branches on the ground.

'Considering the desert vegetation, perhaps there's something underground here.' Looking at the withered branch, Miss Jeanne made this judgment, but she wasn't reckless enough to teleport there directly. After all, if she teleported into the desert, she'd be doomed.

Of course, it's not that she won't use it at all. If she confirms that there aren't too many voids on the ground, Ms. Jeanne will go down and take a look, even if it means teleporting into the sand.

After all, Ms. Jeanne's purpose in coming here is to kill a Hollow. Killing a Hollow may not necessarily lessen Ms. Jeanne's belligerence, but at least it will allow her to summon her Zanpakuto.

Although summoning a Zanpakuto has never been a major objective, considering that Sirin and her daughter might have to fight against Herrschers in the future, they should just obediently bring out the Zanpakuto.

After all, having the Greater Grail allows one's soul to materialize, which means that Jeanne is capable of using Zanpakuto, even with a physical body.

With a little force, I broke the dead branch and examined the break.

'According to the records of Soul Society, the characteristics of the plants on both sides here are not much different from those in the real world, so most of the experience gained here is applicable.'

Miss Jeanne looked at the withered branch and examined its condition.

"Emmmmmm, the bark is so dry that we can't see anything wrong, but the trunk is quite interesting." Looking at the broken surface, Miss Jeanne seemed to have discovered something.

'Is the trunk semi-lignified? In other words, this trunk has been there for no more than two years.' Miss Jeanne looked at the trunk with wood grain and confirmed this. After all, if a wild tree is left unmanaged, a branch will continue to grow until the end of the growing season.

Then there will be a period of overlap between the new shoots and the lignified shoots, and lignification will occur during that period.

"If it's been less than two years, then that means there's definitely something wrong with the roots of the tree below," Miss Jeanne judged, looking at the lignified parts.

However, whatever she wanted to do, Miss Jeanne had to leave and go find Void.

While it's true that you can't see anything like the "illusion" as far as you can see, it's not like there's no way to deal with it at all.

In Hueco Mundo, there is a method that is more applicable than most things, since Hollows evolve by consuming spirits.

'Although that method would make my wounds more dangerous, considering the future benefits...' She rested her chin on her hand, thinking as if she were still a detective, because even Miss Jeanne wasn't sure if it was worth it.

After all, if she didn't attract any Hollows, Ms. Jeanne would be at a huge loss. However, considering that doing this could also help her test the density of the Hollows, Ms. Jeanne started to feel a little tempted.

"Well, how will I know the result if I don't try?" These words seemed to be a way of encouraging herself, and saying such a thing meant that Miss Jeanne had already decided what to do.

Having decided what to do, Ms. Jeanne released her spiritual pressure, as if deliberately attracting Hollows that thirst for human souls.

Of course, the result of Miss Jeanne's actions did not disappoint her.

"Judging from the smoke, that means at least ten Hollows have been attracted here." Miss Jeanne looked at the smoke that suddenly appeared in the distance and roughly calculated how many enemies there were.

"The harvest was alright, I guess." Jeanne said this without realizing the consequences of her earlier outburst, as she had been completely unaware of what was happening to her soul.

"But let's deal with these guys first."

"You who reign supreme! Mask of flesh and blood, myriad things, soaring with wings, crowned with the name of man! The wall of azure fire is inscribed with twin lotuses, the distant heavens await the abyss of great fire." As he chanted, he raised his right hand, preparing to unleash the next burst of power.

"Hado 73 · Twin Lotus Azure Flame Fall." As the chanting ended, two huge pale white flames appeared in Miss Jeanne's raised hand, shaped like unopened lotus flowers.

"!" However, the white flame lotus was stopped after it was launched. As for the reason? Of course, it was because Miss Na felt a sudden pain in her body, and the release of the Breaking Path was stopped because of this pain.

"Wow, I didn't even feel it when I said it, how come now..." She pulled her out hand back and wiped her mouth. Of course, Miss Na didn't need to look to know that there was definitely blood on her palm.

'So, the use of Kido is prohibited? And of the four paths of Slash, Fist, and Demon Walk, only Hakuda is still usable.' He pondered what moves he could use against that group of Hollows, but the answer was clear.

“But my Ghost Path is still quite weak, so does that mean I can only use things I haven’t used in a long time?” As the smoke and dust drew closer, several Void Spears appeared behind Miss Jeanne.

Then, with a wave of his raised right hand, the Void Spear transformed into a thin ribbon, slicing through the not-so-strong Hollows as easily as cream being cut by a hot knife.

'It seems that the Herrscher's abilities are still usable.' When using the Herrscher's power, Miss Jeanne did not feel any problems with her body at all; the only thing consumed was Honkai energy.

In short, no matter what, Jeanne's aimless wandering in Hueco Mundo got off to a less than ideal start.

However, even with such a poor start, Miss Jeanne still managed to complete a small part of the promise of not dying. After all, this was a promise that would completely fail if she relaxed her guard even for a single day.
