Paul narrowed his eyes, his expression growing serious.
"From the brief glimpse I had of that world, this won't be easy. The entirety of Hueco Mundo is already under the rule of that king. He has many powerful subordinates. Even if we send a trio, the odds are against them!"
Hearing this, Kenpachi Chengdui only slightly narrowed his eyes, his voice slipping out coldly between his lips.
"Whether it succeeds or not, I like to try! This vast Kingdom was built through my countless mad experiments! And! To sacrifice yourselves for the Ideal Nation is your honor, isn't it?"
His voice was icy, revealing complete indifference toward the lives of his subordinates.
"To sacrifice for our king, to sacrifice for the Ideal Nation, is our mission!"
Strangely enough, more than a dozen people all bowed slightly at this moment, replying in a serious tone.
"Very good!" Kenpachi Chengdui nodded in satisfaction, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
"Goloson, Arodalia, Senbak, you three will go to Hueco Mundo (Hollow World)!"
"You are responsible for the decapitation operation. If you fail, "
Kenpachi Chengdui licked his lips, revealing a ferocious grin.
"Then die there!"
He spoke these words, success or death, without the slightest attempt to conceal his ruthlessness toward his subordinates.
"We obey, Your Majesty!"
The three immediately stepped forward and responded in unison.
"I trust you, but this enemy is extraordinary. So I am also prepared to lose you."
Kenpachi Chengdui added, as if offering an explanation.
Then he waved his hand.
"Go."
Among the three, one carried a massive sword on his back, one wore a long blade at his waist, and the third was dressed in a robe patterned with stars, a short staff hidden within his sleeve, something like a magic wand.
After Kenpachi Chengdui casually tore open a rift leading to Hueco Mundo, the three stepped in without hesitation.
"Paul, notify the homeland. Prepare to move into this world!"
"Once I've finalized the procedures with Aizen, we will execute the annexation plan!"
His gaze sharpened, a cold smile forming at the corner of his mouth as he spoke again to Paul.
The latter nodded, excitement flickering in his eyes. Every action taken toward another world meant a massive leap forward for their nation. Although the sacrifices were always immense, compared to the gains they were about to obtain, they were insignificant.
"The rest of you, follow me to Soul Society. Familiarize yourselves with everything in this world as quickly as possible!"
Kenpachi Chengdui's voice remained cold as he set off toward Soul Society.
At the same time, within Las Noches,
Qin Yi rested his chin on his right hand, deep in thought.
Regarding the war with Soul Society, he was considering whether to deploy part of his nation's military forces. At present, the Qin Nation's combat strength is not weak. Yet relying solely on the Arrancar forces of Hueco Mundo still seemed insufficient against Soul Society.
If he wanted to seize the entire world in one move, he would have to allocate troops from his homeland.
At that moment, Qin Yi's blood-red eyes suddenly flickered.
"Hmm?"
"Outsiders have entered Soul Society!"
"This kind of power… it's different from the Shinigami."
"They are Kenpachi Chengdui's people!"
His gaze immediately turned sharp. With a wave of his right hand, a figure appeared before him.
"My lord."
The expressionless Ulquiorra appeared instantly, standing upright.
"Take some men and investigate. Outsiders have entered Hueco Mundo."
Qin Yi said indifferently.
Then he paused slightly and added,
"Leave them alive. I have questions for them."
Ulquiorra's expression did not change in the slightest. After nodding faintly, he stepped back and vanished.
In the desert of Hueco Mundo, Goloson, Arodalia, and Senbak had just emerged. Their eyes swept across the surroundings, and upon sensing the harsh environment, they frowned slightly.
"This place is completely unsuitable for life. The oxygen content is extremely low."
Goloson, sporting a crew cut and dressed in a sleeveless vest and shorts, spoke in a deep voice with a massive sword strapped to his back.
"We won't be staying here for long. Either we complete the mission and leave, or we fail and die here."
Senbak casually rested his right hand on the hilt of his long blade as he spoke.
Every time the Kingdom launched an invasion into another world, its people had already prepared themselves to offer up their lives.
When facing worlds of great power, their king and the elite experts would act as vanguards, probing the enemy's strength and making preparations. Sometimes intelligence teams would infiltrate secretly, gathering information before advancing step by step until the world was conquered. For weaker worlds, they simply overwhelmed them by mobilizing the full might of the nation.
Their path had always been one of conquest and iron hoofbeats, advancing through cannon fire and bloodshed.
Whether one lived or died depended solely on luck and timing.
"Arodalia, locate the target and determine his position."
Goloson spoke, his eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
"Understood."
Arodalia, clad in his robe adorned with stars, gave a flick of his sleeve. A wand tipped with a crimson gemstone emerged.
"Salodaka waisdene!"
Strange, eerie syllables escaped his lips. In front of the wand, clusters of shadowy forms materialized before swiftly burrowing into the void and vanishing.
"Among the three of us, Arodalia is the wizard. You and I are warriors. He handles long-range attacks and target tracking, while we handle assassination and close combat."
"For all these years, our cooperation has allowed us to complete hundreds of missions."
"This time, I hope we can still survive and return home for a drink of rum."
Watching Arodalia cast his spell, Goloson sighed as he spoke.
"Mhm."
Senbak silently nodded.
The three of them were brothers who had fought side by side through life and death for many years. No matter the mission, they always carried it out together, and the bond between them was exceptionally deep.
After a long while, Arodalia slowly lowered his wand, a glimmer of realization flashing in his eyes.
"I've found him. As long as we keep moving in this direction, we'll be able to locate him with ease."
Pointing his wand ahead, Arodalia spoke.
"Good! Then we move out immediately!"
Goloson said.
The three set off at once. Arodalia cast a spell that summoned a whirlwind around his body, allowing him to float through the air. Goloson and Senbak radiated purple light as they advanced in ten-meter strides, moving at incredible speed.
Hueco Mundo was vast and seemingly endless, most of its terrain consisting of desert, making it easy to lose one's bearings.
But for the three of them, this posed no difficulty.
Among them, two were warriors, heroic figures in their homeland. The seven ranks of battle aura, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, had both been cultivated to the peak of the purple rank. The third was a wizard with immense magical power, capable of unleashing forbidden spells powerful enough to destroy heaven and earth.
"Judging by our homeland's classification system, this world is a Level 7 Starlight civilization."
"As a Level 6 Starlight force, we should be able to handle the vast majority of its combatants."
"But we may not be a match for the top-tier ones."
"That king who unified all of Hueco Mundo is likely already at the peak of Level 7 Starlight."
"Once we find him, we must combine all our strength and launch a three-way coordinated strike to defeat him as quickly as possible."
Goloson spoke while hurrying onward.
Although Kenpachi Chengdui's King's World was only a Level 5 Starlight civilization, through a chance expedition, he had gained territory in a Level 6 Starlight world, where he had developed and cultivated his own forces.
These three were among the military powers directly under his command.
