Even if some of them still have thoughts that they shouldn't have, they only dare to act secretly and dare not fully express them.
"It seems that he understands!" After killing a chicken to scare a monkey, Aizen withdrew his Reiatsu and said confidently in a calm tone:
"So, as I said before. When facing an invader, you must not be careless, but you also don't need to overreact. You just need to stay in the throne room you are guarding and act as usual. Remember, no matter what happens, as long as you stay by my side, you don't need to be afraid. There is no opponent ahead of us..."
His calm tone was full of unquestionable confidence and composure.
For some Arrancar, Aizen is "the savior of the evil."
Because Hollows are born of fear, and are also driven by fear.
Fear is both their source and their cage.
And Aizen, who is never afraid and always confident, is the god in their hearts.
Of course, there are also smart people and "hooligans" among them.
Like Primera Espada Starrk, he is actually a little uninterested in defeating the enemy and stopping the invasion.
Others are just here to save their companions, not to break up their "big family."
It's a bit uninspiring!
The former king of Hueco Mundo, Segunda Espada Baraggan, wished Aizen would be chopped to death.
He made up his mind to just work and not put in any effort.
If possible, he didn't even want to work.
Octava Espada Szayelaporro was a little scared when he heard the word Shinigami.
Once, he was not afraid of the Shinigami, until he met the monster named Uehara Shiroha.
Of course, in addition to fear, he also had excitement and desire.
He longed for a stronger power as a sample, to make his research more perfect.
Uehara Shiroha's Reiatsu made him see a whole new world.
Unfortunately, until now, he could only watch.
The power of time and space is too deep for him to grasp.
But for this Substitute Shinigami named Ichigo Kurosaki, Szayelaporro had other ideas.
He could see that although Aizen acted very calmly, he still had some expectations for the invader this time.
This expectation, others can't see, but he is very familiar with it.
It's like a fruit farmer seeing a well-growing apple, and a scientific researcher seeing a wonderful experimental subject.
The existence that can be valued by Aizen must be extraordinary.
Szayelaporro also became interested.
It's just that although these people think they have hidden their minds very well, Aizen can see through it at a glance.
He knows these people's thoughts and methods as clearly as reading the lines on his palm. While he was confident, he also felt a little boring and too unchallenged.
At the same time, in the Hueco Mundo desert, under the moonlight, Ichigo Kurosaki, Uryū Ishida, and Yasutora Sado were resting.
"There are such small Hollows. How do they survive?" Ichigo was surprised to find that there were some small animals in the desert.
These small animals all had Hollow masks and Hollow holes.
Obviously, they were also Hollows.
This desert was not as dead as it seemed.
It was just that the power and size of these Hollows were far inferior to the small Hollows in the world of the living.
Looking at the palm-sized lizard Hollow in front of him, Uryū, who was sitting on a rock, analyzed:
"The concentration of Reishi in Hueco Mundo is very high. I think these Hollows can absorb enough Reishi as nutrients just by breathing air."
"It sounds quite like that." Ichigo pretended to be surprised and said:
"But you are still really amazing now, you can even sense the concentration of Reishi in the atmosphere."
Uryū said helplessly:
"This is actually basic skills, as long as you practice hard, you can do it. However, the Quincy's perception of Reishi is indeed more acute. Because the Quincy relies on Reishi in the atmosphere to fight, so we must pay attention to the impact of this aspect. Here, my combat power has indeed improved a lot, but I also have to be careful of those Arrancar. Because this is their home ground, the environment here is more favorable to them."
His unintentional words hurt the two "mutants."
Because both Ichigo and Chad felt that they were more comfortable fighting in Hueco Mundo.
This was obviously abnormal.
Their bodies seemed to be particularly adapted to the environment here, and even the Reiatsu on their bodies became much more active.
However, the two of them concealed their own changes tacitly.
While discussing, the three found a little girl running towards them in panic in the distance.
The little girl looked only four or five years old, crying as she ran, and three ghostly-looking Hollows were chasing her.
Ichigo and the others were wondering why a little girl who looked very ordinary appeared in Hueco Mundo.
However, they still decisively rescued the little girl.
As a result, it turned out to be a misunderstanding.
It turned out that the little girl and the three Hollows were in the same group, and they were just playing games. The seemingly ordinary little girl and the three weird-looking Hollows kowtowed decisively:
"I'm very sorry for making you misunderstand me!"
At this time, Ichigo was surprised to find that this little girl in a grey-green coarse cloth robe and barefoot was also a Hollow.
Because her lake green hair was covered with a broken Hollow mask that looked like an antelope skull.
"Are you also a Hollow?" Ichigo and the others couldn't help but be surprised.
"Nel is not only a Hollow, but also an Arrancar!" Nel looked proud.
Ichigo asked puzzledly: "But why are you so weak, completely different from the Arrancar I met ?"
"Because those adults are elite Arrancar transformed from Adjuchas, and are particularly good at fighting," Nel replied. "We brothers and sisters are all lowlife among the Arrancar. Our fighting ability is too weak, so we are not even qualified to enter Las Noches."
"The lowlife among the Arrancar? What the hell is this?" Ichigo was even more confused.
"By the way, do Hollows also have brothers and sisters? This is the first time I know of this."
After coming to Hueco Mundo, he really broadened his horizons.
Before, he thought that Arrancar were the type with extremely strong strength and extremely bad temper.
Unexpectedly, there are Arrancar like Nel, and even family relationships exist between Hollows.
Then Nel introduced the two Arrancar next to her. The one with a horse head and goat horns and an inexplicably magnetic voice is named Pesche Guatiche, and he is their eldest brother. The other Arrancar with an unusually large face and eyes like Ultraman is named Dondochakka Birstanne, and he is also Nel's brother.
Finally, there is a pet that is similar to a sandworm but the size of a hill, named Bawabawa.
After a long conversation, the three learned that these three Arrancar are not real brothers and sisters, but they connected with each other and called each other brothers and sisters.
After a while, Nel and the others finally discovered Ichigo's identity as a Shinigami. The three Arrancar hilariously started an "infinite hide-and-seek game" in an attempt to plot against Ichigo.
After a chase and fight, the three Arrancar and three humans encountered the guard of Las Noches, the "Guardian of the White Sand" Runuganga.
This guy is like he had eaten the Sand-Sand Fruit. His entire body is made up of sand. He is not afraid of any physical attacks, but is afraid of water, which is very similar to the Sand-Sand Fruit.
Runuganga is huge and immune to conventional physical attacks. There is no water in the desert, so Ichigo, who can only slash, is bound to be restrained in battle.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Rukia fell from the sky.
Rukia, wearing a Teigun Coat, suddenly appeared, untied the ribbon of Sode no Shirayuki, and froze Runuganga.
"Rukia, why are you here?" Looking at the divine Rukia Kuchiki, Ichigo was very happy.
The two of them were both teachers and friends. He respected this guide on his road to becoming a Shinigami very much.
Rukia came to Ichigo with a quick shunpo and punched him in the stomach:
"Baka! Why did you come to Hueco Mundo alone? Orihime is also my friend! Why didn't you wait for me?"
"I didn't know you were coming." After saying that, Ichigo, holding his stomach, asked in confusion:
"What's up with your coat?"
Rukia is now wearing a black Shinigami shihakushō inside and a white coat outside whose material you can't tell.
There are some golden patterns embroidered on the coat, which gives it a sense of low-key luxury.
This trendy design is a bit like the uniform of the Espada, but it is more handsome and elegant.
It is obvious that this is not a high-end product that ordinary Shinigami can afford, and it is even more high-end than the captain's haori.
However, this coat is obviously not Rukia's, because it doesn't fit her, and the coat completely wraps her body.
Rukia blushed and said shyly:
"I asked Mr. Shiroha to bring me here. Seireitei cannot immediately build a passage to Hueco Mundo. Only my teacher can do it! This coat is the teacher's spare clothing, saying that it is used to protect me from the wind and sand."
Although this coat looks ordinary.
But its defense ability is stronger than the shihakushō she wears.
Moreover, it has the functions of windproof, sandproof and self-cleaning. In the teacher's words:
"A must-have for home and travel."
"Your teacher!? Uehara Shiroha!" Ichigo was surprised.
He had a deep memory of that man.
In fact, Uehara Shiroha taught him more than Rukia.
But the content taught by the other party was too profound, and he couldn't remember or understand it.
However, he was grateful for the help from the bottom of his heart.
He might have benefited from Rukia, otherwise such a big shot would not pay attention to a nobody like him.
"It's him!" Uryū was also secretly surprised.
He had some impression of this Shinigami.
When invading Rukongai, those defeated Shinigami all said, "If Commander Uehara were here, we would never lose."
Although the other party is not the captain, his strength and prestige far exceed those of ordinary captains.
It's a pity that the other party doesn't seem to want to intervene in this incident.
After a conversation, several people, together with Rukia, continued to rush towards Las Noches.
Ichigo and others have a common goal with Rukia, which is to rescue Orihime.
Nel and other Arrancar were forced to become "guides."
Unexpectedly, the "Guardian of the White Sand" who had just been defeated appeared again and launched a sneak attack on them.
Caught off guard, several people were wrapped in the overwhelming quicksand, and then quickly sank and fell towards the Forest of Menos under the desert.
No one noticed that a white figure flashed by, and then a green-haired child was missing from their group.
In Hueco Mundo, the former Tercera Espada Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck was looking at the handsome man in front of her with fear.
She muttered softly:
"Oh no, Pesche and Dondochakka are lost. What should I do? What should I do? Will they be okay? Will Nel be okay? Oh my god!"
At the beginning, she was trying to bluff, but she was severely punished.
Although she liked being punished by this person, she was still a little worried about Pesche and the others.
And this person was also the Shinigami.
In her vague memory, the Shinigami was a bad guy who needed to be guarded against and even defeated.
"They're fine." Uehara Shiroha looked at Nelliel, the former Tercera Espada, with great interest.
She had short lake green hair and a broken hollow mask on her head.
Her big eyes had gray-brown pupils and a clear light that was not polluted by knowledge.
A scar extended from her forehead to the right side of her nose, and there was a reddish-pink line under her nose.
"Lord Uehara, you really don't understand girls' hearts." Nel looked like a "little devil":
"It's not polite to stare at girls like this."
"What kind of girl are you, little kid?" Uehara Shiroha didn't pamper her:
"And do I need to chase after him? What I pick up is mine."
This little one's personality is really interesting.
In the child form, she is a little timid and annoying female kid.
In the adult form, not only does her body become bigger, but her personality becomes gentle and amiable, just like a queen.
It's just like schizophrenia, but the personality changes, and the body also changes.
The real Doppio/Diavolo dynamic!
In the Hueco Mundo desert, Nelliel widened her gray-brown eyes:
"You are so rude. Nel is not a thing, and you didn't pick Nel up. The Shinigami is really a bad guy!"
She has always been incompatible with Hueco Mundo and other hollow things.
Although she herself did not realize this.
But it is true.
Because of this, she has no other friends except Pesche and Dondochakka.
Nel is eager to make new friends, and the Shinigami in front of her does not seem to hate her.
This makes her a little free and liberates her nature.
"Your little mouth is chattering, right?!" Uehara Shiroha's mind moved, and the power of his ability was activated.
Still want to liberate your nature and let yourself go?
Freeze her and don't leave!
In just a moment, Nel became a small ice sculpture with wide eyes and a wide mouth.
The reason why Uehara Shiroha didn't punish her physically was certainly not because of respecting the elderly and loving the young.
First, he didn't want to reward her; second, he was really afraid that this masochistic little thing would say something inappropriate.
Although Uehara Shiroha is very cruel, he hasn't been this cruel.
After casually dealing with the noisy Nel, he released his observation haki to sense the situation of Rukia and her group. It was basically the same as the original plot, which was basically a "two-day trip to the Forest of Menos."
There are no powerful people in that place, and they can't stop the troubles of Ichigo and his group.
What's more, this time, Rukia mastered the Bankai in advance. If she really wants to fight hard, she will have a chance to defeat ordinary Espada.
In addition, with the help of Ashido, the "local tour guide," there is no danger anymore. It is a chance to see the unknown customs and practices of Hueco Mundo.
However, this time, Rukia came to Hueco Mundo alone to find Ichigo.
In the original plot, Rukia came with Renji Abarai.
The reason is that Renji Abarai is a childhood playmate who is almost broken up with Rukia.
From the moment Renji took the initiative to give up Rukia, the two have been drifting apart.
This time, Renji has no chance to save it.
Because Momo Hinamori was also taken in by Uehara Shiroha, Aizen couldn't find a suitable toy, so he could only reluctantly used Renji.
For this reason, Soul Society suspected that Renji and Aizen were secretly colluding with each other.
Therefore, the other party is no longer qualified to advance and retreat with Rukia.
So this time, Rukia came to Hueco Mundo alone.
And Renji is desperately improving his strength in the underground base of Kisuke Urahara's grocery store.
