Death: No cheats, take refuge in Aizen

Chapter 309 307. First entry into the Invisible Empire

A week after Aizen's public rebellion, Higashino Hideichi finally set out on a journey alone again after Urahara Kisuke was fully prepared.

The key that Urahara Kisuke used to go to the Invisible Empire, which was kept by the original Ishida family, could no longer be used.

However, during these years, Urahara Kisuke had developed a new method to enter the Invisible Empire based on that key and the special properties of the shadow realm.

Alien food.

That is, by controlling the spirit particles to operate in a special way, constantly eroding the protective barrier on the outer layer of the Invisible Empire.

The reason why Higashino Hideichi waited a week before preparing to enter the shadow world was because he wanted to learn this technique from Urahara Kisuke.

After all, it is easy to get out of the Invisible Empire, but it is difficult to go back, even for the Ishida family, such a Quincy who originally came out of the Invisible Empire.

Unless you can reach the level of the Stern Cross Knights.

However, when the Ishida family defected from the Invisible Empire, the Stern Cross Knights had not yet been established.

Therefore, there is no information about the Stern Cross Knights in Urahara Kisuke's intelligence.

Urahara Kisuke's considerations about the Invisible Empire at this time are all prepared according to the description of the Ishida family and his own personal experience.

And Higashino Hideichi himself also needs a means to enter the Invisible Empire.

The research results he obtained from Yushi Oushu before are probably no longer useful now.

After all, before coming to the real world, Higashino Hideichi did not know that Urahara Kisuke had secretly gone to the Invisible Empire alone and was discovered by Haschwald.

The Invisible Empire, which was moved back to the deeper level of the Shadow World, is probably more difficult to enter than the Invisible Empire in the original plot.

However, Higashino Hideichi, who had just returned to the Soul Society through the gate prepared by Urahara Kisuke and then used means to enter the Shadow World, did not immediately look for the hidden barrier of the Invisible Empire.

Instead, he asked for Nemu from Sayoko Kabuto.

Because the purpose of Higashino Hideichi's trip was to kill Yhwach to eliminate future troubles.

So he had to bring all his trump cards with him as much as possible, just in case.

Although Otomu was not in Higashino Hideichi's plan before.

But since he got this new benefit from Aizen's rebellion and had a stronger potential for explosion.

Higashino Hideichi would not choose to put this method aside.

For Higashino Hideichi now, it is better to use a butcher knife to kill a chicken, not to mention that the opponent is Yhwach.

But now Higashino Hideichi learned from Urahara Kisuke that the Invisible Empire has been prepared for the death god.

So before letting Otomu in, he must prepare well.

Fortunately, Aizen couldn't find a way to let Tosen Kaname obtain the power of the Quincy to disguise himself for a while.

But Higashino Hideichi had a way to let Otomu obtain the power of the Quincy in a short time.

That incomplete collapsing jade!

At this moment, driven by Otomu's wish, it has become a channel connecting Higashino Hideichi and Otomu, and it is also a one-way channel controlled only by Higashino Hideichi.

Higashino Hideichi can not only deposit his own Hollow Power with Nemu, but also deposit his Quincy Power with Nemu through this channel.

However, the Quincy Power is like poison to the God of Death, which is difficult to master, and even more difficult to maintain for a man-made person like Nemu.

Therefore, Higashino Hideichi's requirement for Nemu is that at least when she passes through the barrier set by the Invisible Empire on the outside, she must let the Quincy Power cover her whole body.

Ensure that she will not be detected by the alarm device of the Invisible Empire.

This requires time to train.

Therefore, Higashino Hideichi can only wait.

Fortunately, Urahara Kisuke did not install a real-time monitoring device similar to the one that monitors bacteria on Higashino Hideichi's body, considering the issues of signal transmission and personal privacy.

Only a communication device that can be turned on and off, and a camera device that can record video, are left on Higashino Hideichi's body.

As long as Higashino Hideichi does not want to, he can completely close the situation on his side.

Otherwise, Higashino Hideichi would probably have to leave Nemu in the shadow realm outside the Invisible Empire, and wait for the critical moment to let Nemu forcefully break through the barrier and come in to help him.

And this wait lasted another two weeks.

Higashino Hideichi waited until Nemu could let the power of the Quincy cover him for three minutes before he began to use the Alien Food to erode the hidden barrier of the Invisible Empire that he had found.

Just as Urahara Kisuke had guessed before.

The new hidden location of the Invisible Empire is almost completely unexplorable for the Shinigami or the Hollows, creatures that cannot master the shadow realm.

But for a Quincy like Higashino Hideichi who can actively enter the shadow world, it is not difficult to find it.

The whole erosion process is also unusually easy.

In other words, I am afraid that the Quincy who strengthened this barrier could not have thought that one day, a Quincy would try to get in this way.

Higashino Hideichi could feel the resistance to the Shinigami and the Hollows on this barrier.

However, he showed no resistance to Higashino Hideichi, who was pretending to be Takuya Kabuto.

When Higashino Shuichi opened a gap in the barrier, he did not rush in. Instead, he stood outside and looked down at the invisible empire inside through the small gap.

How to say

Higashino Shuichi once thought that Soul Society's attitude towards Rukongai was cruel enough.

But after seeing the Invisible Empire, he felt that the nobles in Soul Society were still too conservative.

Higashino Shuichi looked around, and in the entire invisible empire, on the land of Noda, there were only a few cities that could barely be regarded as prosperous places where people could live. As for other places

"Isn't the end area of ​​No. 60 in Rukongai better than here?"

Higashino Shuichi frowned and sighed.

There were thick patches of white bones, tarsal bones all over the ground, people like ants, trees with dead graves, not a single leaf left, and the cold wind was blowing.

Now, Higashino Shuichi knew why the original Ishida family escaped from here.

Because ordinary people here simply cannot survive.

Is this just what the original invisible empire was like?

Higashino Shuichi didn't know that his existence had changed too many things.

Now that even Yhwach has awakened early, it is understandable that some changes have occurred in the Invisible Empire.

But no matter what the reason is, the current tragic situation of the Invisible Empire is still difficult to let go.

"What's wrong, Father?"

Behind him, Nemu saw Higashino Shuichi not going in after opening a gap, so he cautiously approached and asked.

"It's nothing, it's just a little bit touched inside.

I used to think that I would never have mood swings because of this kind of thing again.

But now it seems that I still overestimated myself. "

Higashino Shuichi shook his head and said somewhat self-deprecatingly.

After finishing speaking, Higashino Shuichi suppressed the emotion in his heart and walked into the space of the invisible empire.

A wave of spiritual energy similar to scanning flashed over Higashino Shuichi's body.

Higashino Shuichi knew that this was the monitoring mechanism of the invisible empire.

The power of the Quincy was operating, and at the same time, the power of the Death God and the power of the Hollow were deeply hidden. Higashino Shuichi easily eluded this monitoring.

Nemu followed Higashino Shuichi, and Higashino Shuichi directly transferred part of his Quincy power to Nemu through the connection of the incomplete Honyu, for Nemu to temporarily control.

Normally, the three minutes it took Nemu to pass through the barrier and pass the test was more than enough.

The actual performance is that Nemu successfully passed through the barrier, and then when the detected spirit wave passed through the body, Higashino Shuichi's Quincy power was used to hide himself.

But what Higashino Shuichi didn't expect was that just when they relaxed their vigilance about the barrier, they turned their attention to the invisible empire below.

That damn spirit son monitors the fluctuations and sweeps towards Higashino Shuichi and Nemu's bodies again.

"What??!"

This caught Higashino Hideichi completely off guard.

Higashino Shuichi himself doesn't have to worry about monitoring this time, because he has been keeping himself in the state of a Quincy since entering Soul Society.

But Yinmeng is different.

She couldn't maintain the disguise for a long time. After passing the first monitoring, Higashino Shuichi withdrew the power of the Quincy from Nemu.

words now

"Get down quickly!"

Higashino Shuichi made a prompt decision, and while giving orders to Nemu, he also used the Quincy's special flying scythe kick, came to the top of Nemu, and kicked Nemu mercilessly.

Just to make Nemu fall to the ground faster.

The reason is simply because Higashino Shuichi is certain that this monitoring mechanism must only exist near the barrier. As long as they are close to the surface, they can avoid this monitoring.

This kind of time is not the time to pity flowers and cherish jade at all.

Although Nemu still didn't understand Higashino Shuichi's purpose of doing this.

But when Higashino Shuichi once again transmitted the power of the Quincy to her, she had already made her own decision in time - to cover herself with the power of the Quincy.

Because this was something Higashino Shuichi had agreed with her before,

"Nemu, remember, as long as I lend you the power of the Quincy, you must cover it everywhere on your body as soon as possible!"

Higashino Shuichi originally gave Nemu such instructions to prevent possible accidents that might happen in the invisible empire.

Nemu has never forgotten it for a moment.

But Nemu was still a step too late. Before the Quincy's power could completely cover her, her body was swept by the spirit detection wave.

At the same time, in the Ice Palace in the Invisible Empire, a harsh alarm bell suddenly sounded.

A pair of eyes suddenly opened, but just when he was about to check, the alarm bell suddenly disappeared.

There were not even two sounds before and after, it seemed like a false alarm.

It's just that this man who still looks a little weak has a bright light in his eyes.

"Hasward."

The man called softly.

Then, a blond man walked in from outside the palace, walked ten steps in front of the man, then knelt down on one knee,

"His Majesty!"

The blond man is none other than the chief of the Knights of the Star Cross, Hugo Lan Hasward.

Needless to say, the only man who could make him kneel down on one knee, respect him so much, and call him your majesty was the King of Quincy, Yhwach, who had just woken up and was still extremely weak.

"The alarm bell just rang. It was in the direction of Umezu City."

Yhwach whispered.

Hasward frowned slightly below.

"Umezu Castle?

Your Majesty, that is not our territory yet, there is a Kurono clan between us, if you want to explore there."

Hasward lowered his head and did not continue.

In fact, if it had been before, Hasward would have gone alone, and it wouldn't have mattered.

Because at that time, Yhwach was still sleeping, and the entire Star Cross Knights, under the instruction of Hasward, only guarded the area near the Ice Palace, with no intention of expanding externally.

Therefore, all the Quincy families in the entire Invisible Empire maintain a superficially obedient attitude towards the Knights of the Star Cross and the Quincy King who is not sure whether he will be able to awaken.

But since Yhwach chose to wake up early for some unknown reason, the situation changed.

Yhwach's body was abnormally weak due to his premature awakening. Even if he sanctified the Quincy in this world, he still could not recover much of his strength.

However, Yhwach still ordered Hasward to lead the Knights of the Star Cross, which is far from full now. Those who are entrenched throughout the invisible empire are unwilling to return to the Quincy family under his command. , launched a crusade.

This leads to a more troublesome result.

That is, originally Hasward could roam around the empire without any obstruction, but now he can't.

The Knights of the Star Cross can be said to be on the opposite side of most of the Quincy families in the invisible empire.

These Quincy families, after seeing Yhwach's awakening, not only did not feel afraid, but they coveted Yhwach's body and strength because they saw Yhwach's weakness.

Originally, Hasward suggested that Yhwach directly initiate sanctification against these disobedient people.

But Yhwach was unwilling.

The explanation given by Yhwach was that he wanted to take this opportunity to select the right candidate to fill up the Knights of the Star Cross in his heart.

As a courtier, Hasward declined to comment.

It's just that now, Hasward really can't leave the Ice Palace at will.

Because he still has to protect Yhwach, who is weak at the moment, and cannot let Yhwach be stolen by those Quincy families with evil intentions.

This possibility is very low, but Hasward will not allow even this slight possibility to happen.

"I know your concerns, just let the new Minina come over!"

Yhwach actually did not expect that a god of death would be able to break into the current invisible empire. He just thought that this was a good handle against the Umezu family.
