A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 698 691. Rukia wants to defect?

"Sorry, I have to leave..."

The expression on Inoue Orihime's face looked a little sad.

"What the hell does this happen?"

Hirako Mako asked again with a slight frown.

But Inoue Orihime just shook her head slightly without explaining. She looked at Kurosaki Ichigo who was lying on the ground and was unable to continue fighting, with a forced smile on her face.

"That's it..."

Seeing the expression of the girl in front of him, Kurosaki Ichigo seemed to understand something.

fair enough.

Inoue would be safe if he was taken to Hueco Mundo. After all, that man is the Lord of Hueco Mundo.

Is it really good?

Although he kept trying to convince himself that it was a good thing, he still felt unwilling to do so for some reason.

Blood overflowed from the palm holding Zangetsu.

Your companions need to be protected by others. Is this really good?

Of course he understood why Inoue chose to leave.

You don't need to think about it to know that it is to protect them.

too weak!

Still too weak!

If they were strong enough, things wouldn't be like this.

The Arrancars in front of them were just Aizen's men. It was right to think about it. They couldn't even deal with this kind of thing. Of course, that man would not let Inoue stay in this world with confidence.

Without that man's acquiescence, how could Aizen dare to send someone to take Inoue away by force?

A crack appeared in the sky, and a ray of light shone down from the crack.

It's anti-membrane.

"hateful!"

Mako Hirako wanted to step forward to stop him, but hesitated for a moment under Ulquiorra's warning gaze.

This moment of hesitation destined him to be unable to stop it. Once the anti-film fell, no one could harm the being shrouded in light.

But some people didn't hesitate, no... they even said that this person seemed to be waiting for this moment, and rushed straight over the moment the reflected light appeared, letting anyone including Ulquiorra and Grimmjow They were all too surprised to react.

"Rukia!?"

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at Rukia Kuchiki rushing towards the Arrancar in surprise, his eyes full of confusion.

He wanted to stop it, but he no longer had enough energy, so he could only stretch out his hands and watch helplessly.

The moment before the anti-membrane fell, Kuchiki Rukia entered the realm shrouded by the anti-membrane in the eyes of everyone with doubts.

"Hmph, I didn't expect someone else to come to my door?" Grimmjow hummed and looked at Rukia Kuchiki who rushed into the anti-membrane, "Woman, do you want to die?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and prepared to kill the woman in front of him with a false flash.

However, Ulquiorra raised his hand to stop him.

"What are you doing!? Ulquiorra!"

Grimmjow looked at Ulquiorra angrily.

This god of death is so arrogant that he dares to break into their anti-film realm! Don't worry about the two people outside, why can't you kill the one who comes to your door?

Don't tell him now that this woman is with them?

Just now, this woman used ice to freeze him and ruined his good deeds!

Ulquiorra shook his head slightly. He stared at Grimmjow with cold eyes, as if he would strike regardless of the other person's words if he said another word.

The reason why he stopped Grimmjow was simple, because at this moment Orihime Inoue was already protecting Rukia Kuchiki.

The woman responded quickly.

If the response was just one second slower, the Death God who broke into the anti-membrane would be ruthlessly obliterated by them.

It was obvious that Orihime Inoue knew this very well.

Rukia Kuchiki's actions at the moment were courageous, but stupid.

The area shrouded by the anti-membrane can be said to be part of Hueco Mundo, and it belongs to the territory of these Arrancars and Hollows.

Entering such a realm in front of two powerful Arrancars usually results in a dead end, and the companions outside can only watch helplessly.

But Orihime Inoue happened to be here.

"If you dare to hurt my companions, I will never go back with you."

Just as Ulquiorra could threaten the lives of her companions, she could also threaten them with her own.

"Want to die? I'll make it happen—"

"Shut up."

Ulquiorra hit Grimmjow in the abdomen with his sword palm, causing blood to splash everywhere.

"Stupid guy, have you forgotten Lord Aizen's order? Take this woman back unscathed."

"Tsk."

Grimmjow smacked his lips slightly as he covered the wound on his abdomen, and finally gave up on killing the intruding God of Death.

"Do you know what you are doing? Death."

After asking Grimmjow to calm down, Ulquiorra looked at Rukia Kuchiki who came into the reflection with a blank expression.

"Of course I know, take me to see Aizen."

Kuchiki Rukia looked extremely calm.

In fact, she originally planned to go to Hueco Mundo, but because she had to temporarily change her coordinates to help in this world, it seems that this decision was the right one, and the final result was the same as she imagined. No deviation occurred.

Although it was indeed risky to do so, it was all she could do now.

No one knows that man's power better than she does.

Even Aizen is that man's subordinate, and Soul Society has no chance of winning against such a being.

Whether it was to gain strength or to understand the truth, she had to meet that man.

It might be more dangerous to go to Hueco Mundo alone. In her opinion, this situation is the best outcome.

But such behavior is completely incomprehensible to others.

This not only puzzled Ulquiorra and Grimmjow, but also Orihime Inoue, Ichigo Kurosaki, and Mako Hirako who were in the opposite direction.

"Rukia! What do you want... to do!?"

Kurosaki Ichigo asked with a roar.

"Stop yelling...Ichigo."

Kuchiki Rukia calmly turned her head, "You should also know why I did this, right?"

"..."

Shrouded in reflective light, several people slowly rose into the sky.

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the retreating figures of Kuchiki Rukia and Inoue Orihime unwillingly.

From the eyes of these two girls, he saw for the first time the same interest as his own, and he could feel that this was unwillingness.

He didn't know what exactly Rukia was thinking.

But one thing was extremely clear to him from the beginning...

If there was enough power to control destiny, who would make such a forced choice?

············

Anti-film also fell on another battlefield.

"Humph, is the mission accomplished?"

The teeth were unwilling to look at the man who was isolated from the mirror and looked at him with a smile.

Although he is very reluctant, he is indeed no match for this man now. If he continues to fight, he will only suffer the consequences.

No, not only himself, Ruby was not much better either.

"Tsk."

Also shrouded in the reflective light, Ruby, who was covered in blood, stared gloomily at the figure of the young man outside through the reflective light, "It's a pity, Mr. Captain... It seems you couldn't kill me. ...You will never have such an opportunity again in the future, remember this! Next time we meet, I will twist off your entire head and crush it!"

"..."

The light dissipates and the space is restored.

Except for Urahara Kisuke who sighed with relief, everyone looked at the sky with solemn expressions.

This is the power of the Ten Blades, just Aizen's subordinates.

They have already suffered a lot just by facing such an existence.

The most important thing is that now that Inoue Orihime has been taken back to Hueco Mundo, there is nothing that can stop Aizen's plan from being carried out.

Their only option is to fight to the death, and it seems to be a losing war.

So what if they try their best to defeat Aizen?

The person they feared was never Aizen, but the man sitting on the throne of Hueco Mundo.

············

The next day.

After Kurosaki Ichigo explained the relationship between Inoue Orihime and Hueco Mundo and the current general situation to the people of the Masked Legion, he temporarily left the secret base under the helpless eyes of the people of the Masked Legion.

He has mastered the essentials of virtualization, and he can continue with the next training. Moreover, there is contact from Soul Society again, and now there are many things that need to be discussed together.

After Inoue Orihime was taken away, her home was naturally deserted and became a temporary stronghold for the Shinigami who came to this world.

When Kurosaki Ichigo arrived, the atmosphere in the room seemed particularly heavy.

The solemn face of Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni appeared on the communication screen.

"Is that so...Did Kuchiki follow those people to Hueco Mundo?"

Before Ichigo Kurosaki arrived, everyone seemed to have told the captain about Rukia Kuchiki's situation.

"Is it betrayal?" Yumichika Ayasekawa looked at everyone and asked uncertainly.

"No...impossible."

Kurosaki Ichigo retorted without hesitation, "That guy must have his own ideas."

"That's right..." Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni nodded slightly, "I remember that Kuchiki was probably the person who was most familiar with that man besides a few of you in this world, right? Aizen's betrayal of Soul Society at that time She and the man also reached some kind of agreement."

"Yes." Kurosaki Ichigo nodded.

"So...did she go to Hueco Mundo to meet that man?" Matsumoto Rangiku frowned slightly.

"Perhaps you want to ask something clearly? Or maybe... you want to get strength from there." Chadota Taihu looked at his fist and pondered.

"Everyone, these are not the important points now, right?"

Madarame curled his lips slightly, "According to what you said, these two girls are not in danger in Hueco Mundo. It's us who have to worry now! The old man's original plan has been ruined. We have no choice but to fight to the death with those guys. There is no other choice.”

"Speaking of lightness, the strength of the 'Ten Blades' is no longer something that we can handle."

Hitsugaya Toshiro frowned slightly, "Their attacks will only become more fierce each time. This time just two 'Ten Blades' have already made so many of us powerless. Next time..."

"Then what should we do now?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked, turning his head to look at Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni on the screen.

"Why……"

Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni sighed, "I think you all know that the chance of winning in a war is almost zero. What I fear is not the 'Ten Blades' nor Aizen... If possible... I really don't want to fight That guy started a war..."

"Is there still a possibility of negotiation?"

Abarai Renji suddenly asked, "Since Rukia can go see that man, it means there is nothing to talk about, right?"

"No, that's too naive."

Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni looked gloomy, "Why do you think Rukia was able to see him? Not only because of Inoue's help, but also because it was the disdain of the strong towards the weak, just like Aizen at that time disdained to kill You are the same as Lucia, as strong people, they don't even mind telling you their thoughts, but the result is... Even if you know, what can you do? Nothing can be changed... This is the most helpless thing. thing."

"this……"

Renji Abarai was silent.

Everyone was silent and didn't know what to say.

They seem to be beginning to understand the captain's mood, and the method of using Inoue Orihime is not the captain's style, but it seems that this is the only way to save Soul Society. Once they lose this only countermeasure, they are really powerless.

In the face of absolute power, all efforts are in vain.

Once that man decides, it's like fate that affects them and they can't refuse it.

"So...we are now forced to go to war and then be destroyed, right?"

Madarame Ikkaku scoffed.

As he spoke, he licked the corners of his mouth and seemed not to be afraid.

“To be honest, I don’t quite understand what’s so scary about this?

Since we have no choice, wouldn't it be over if we fight to the end?

Do you still have to choose between dying in a dignified battle and waiting for death in agony? ? "

"Well said, he is worthy of being a man of my eleventh squad."

A voice mixed with laughter came from behind.

Everyone turned to look, and they didn't know when the coordinates of the world-crossing gate had been set behind them, and two figures walked out of the open gate.

One person is as cold as ice, while the other person is as fierce as fire.

Byakuya Kuchiki and Kenpachi Zaraki.

"Captain...why are you here?"

"Of course I'm here to join the fight! Staying in Soul Society and watching you guys fight is killing me."

Kenpachi Zaraki licked his lips and smiled, "Didn't you say you don't have enough manpower? So we are here to support you."

"If it wasn't to prevent them from sneaking into Soul Society, we wouldn't be the only ones coming." Byakuya Kuchiki also nodded slightly.

"So, are you really ready to go to war?"

Kurosaki Ichigo asked hesitantly, looking at the silent old man on the screen.

At this moment, this old man is like a volcano that has been sleeping for a long time, seeming to be gaining momentum.

Without this old man's order, Byakuya and Kenpachi would not have been able to come to this world... In other words... this old man was actually ready to fight.

"Sometimes... I have to admit that I am getting old. Speaking of which... that man often laughs at me because of this..."

As Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni spoke, he took off his robe, and slowly opened his slightly squinted eyes, his gaze as bright as a torch.
