Death: Captain Millennium

"I see."

Aizen, whose efforts were in vain, leaned against the throne and murmured softly, a thoughtful look on his face. "It seems that the Soul King wants to reclaim not only the incomplete body, but also the contaminated bloodline."

Ilfert Granz's laboratory, located deep in the Great Hollow Forest of Hueco Mundo, is crumbling and on the verge of collapse.

With a loud "boom", a huge steel beam fell from the sky and smashed straight towards the ground.

Grimmjow raised his sword and swung it down. With a flash of extremely sharp blade light, the falling steel beam was instantly split in half.

"Damn Frankenstein! What the hell is wrong with you, this rotten machine!"

Grimmjow's eyes widened as he roared at Ilfert Glantz.

"This is the call from the Spirit King's right arm!"

Ilfert Granz's hands were typing on the keyboard as fast as the wind, and beads of sweat were rolling down his forehead.

The spirit particle map that was originally clearly visible on the screen suddenly shattered as if it had encountered a storm, turning into pieces of snowflake-like fragments.

Ilfert Granz's body suddenly stiffened, and then he covered his throat in pain, his eyeballs almost bulging out of his sockets.

The next moment, a horrifying scene occurred—the flesh and blood in his body began to disintegrate and turn into a black torrent flying towards the sky.

Ulquiorra quickly performed a virtual flash and rushed straight towards the black torrent.

But this flash of light was assimilated the moment it came into contact with the black torrent, as if it had never appeared.

"it's useless."

A light sigh was heard, and Aizen's figure stepped out from the void. His steps seemed light, but each step carried a heavy weight.

The Espadas were horrified to find that a huge hole had appeared on the spot where the Hogyoku was originally embedded in Aizen's chest!

Ink-black liquid was continuously gushing out of the cavity, emitting a disgusting smell.

At this moment, Harribel's Royal Shark Queen suddenly lost control and started to run wildly.

It rushed towards its owner at an astonishing speed and pinned her to the rock wall.

Harribel looked at Aizen in front of him and said through gritted teeth, "Aizen... you knew it would turn out like this, right?"

Facing Harribel's question, Aizen simply smiled and said softly, "Hey, you're totally wrong. The Soul King has taken back his own power for some unknown reason. Even I didn't expect this."

After saying that, he gently raised his hand and ran his fingertips across the hollow hole on Harribel's chest.

Aizen narrowed his eyes slightly, raised a mysterious smile at the corner of his mouth, and murmured to himself: "But it doesn't matter, the real exciting show has just begun..."

A bloody smell permeated the air above the Soul King Palace's main approach.

The five members of Squad Zero were all half-kneeling at this moment, and there was a shocking pool of blood on the ground.

The brush in Hyoshubu Ichibei's hand had broken into two pieces, and lay quietly on the ground without any power.

The hot spring pool of Tianshilang in Qilin Temple has now dried up, and the steaming and misty scene of the past is no longer seen.

Even the densely packed needles and threads that Shutara Senjumaru was good at using were all rotten and became fragile and easily broken.

"What a joke!"

Nimaiya Wang Yue roared, and his Zanpakutō forging table was shattered into pieces and scattered all over the ground.

"My forging table! Why is it broken?"

His face was filled with anger, and veins popped out on his forehead.

Directly in front of the five people, the vermilion door leading to the Spirit King's inner palace was particularly eye-catching.

The door is covered with blood vessels that twist and turn like a giant black python, giving people a feeling of extreme depression and fear.

Whenever someone approaches the door, the huge eye of the Spirit King on the door will begin to rotate slowly, and from its pupils will shoot out chaotic beams that can decompose everything in the world.

These chaotic beams carry a terrifying power that can destroy the world, making it impossible for people to get close to them.

Even though Hikifune Kiryu wanted to use her unique cooking spiritual pressure to break through this predicament, when she just condensed the spiritual pressure into shape, it was instantly and mercilessly swallowed up by the rolling black mist that continued to overflow from the crack in the door, leaving her no room for resistance.

"It seems... we have been abandoned by the Soul King."

Qilin Temple Tian Shilang's face was pale, his eyes were dull, and he looked like he had lost his soul. He muttered to himself.

He never imagined that Squad Zero, who had protected the Soul King with such dedication, would end up like this.

The expression on the face of Hyoshubu Ichibei beside him was equally grim. He sullenly snorted and said, "Guardian? Humph! Stop deceiving yourself. The so-called 'Guardian' identity is nothing but a cover."

Hearing this, the other three were all shocked and looked at Hyoshubu Ichibei with disbelief.

He slowly raised his head, his eyes scanning the crowd. Then, lowering his voice, he continued in an almost indifferent tone, "In fact, Squad Zero existed from the very beginning to monitor the Soul King."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap exploding in everyone's heart.

"what!"

Four exclamations rang out almost simultaneously, echoing throughout the Spirit King Palace.

This sudden revelation of the truth struck the four generals like lightning.

Who could have imagined that the true mission of the highly respected Zero Squad was to monitor the Soul King? This was truly shocking, completely beyond their expectations.

The sudden ringing of the bell made the five people tremble. They saw that the relief of the Spirit King on the door was melting, and the face that had always been calm was twisted into an expression of anger and pain.

A black torrent gushed out from the crack in the door, staining Omotesando the color of asphalt.

"What should we do now?"

The four great generals who knew the truth looked bitter. No wonder the Spirit King abandoned them.

Have you ever seen a prisoner fall in love with a jailer? Adnais was merciful in not killing them.

"Before the King Key dissipates, let's go back to Seireitei and think of a solution!"

The monk thought for a while and decided to return to Seireitei to seek refuge with Lin Yu.

Although this behavior is very embarrassing, my life is almost gone now, so what’s the point of saving face!

I don’t know if it was because the monk had a bad mouth, but as soon as he finished speaking, the five people felt that the power belonging to Wang Jian was taken away. This was really a matter of life and death!

"Now I can't leave even if I want to!"

Hikifune Kiryu gave a bitter smile. They could neither enter the Soul King's inner palace nor their own Rei-ban-ri-den, nor could they return to Seireitei. They were in a dilemma.

"Yizhou! You and Lin Yu must have a special way of communicating, right?"

The monk seemed to remember something. Before Hikifune Kiryu was promoted to Squad Zero, he had a good relationship with Lin Yu. Now he could only hope for this.

Hikifune Kiryu shook her head with a bitter look on her face. She and Lin Yu had no special way of contacting each other, so now she could only wait to die.
