"!!!"
The expression on Hyosube Ichibe's face grew increasingly grim.
If that's the case, the so-called Akatsuki has been coveting the Soul Society for thousands of years, and yet we've never received any news...
Because for thousands of years, apart from that letter, the Akatsuki never showed themselves, Hyosube Ichibe even once thought that the so-called Akatsuki had long been destroyed...
Unexpectedly...
They had been in the Soul Society all along...
And even established a mighty noble family within the Soul Society!
"Kabuto."
Uehara Naraku called out to Yakushi Kabuto and smiled as he said, "No need to elaborate more, bring me a glass of juice, the real show is yet to come, there's no need to waste our time on these useless people."
"Yes, my lord."
Yakushi Kabuto nodded respectfully.
After watching Yakushi Kabuto leave, Uehara Naraku sat down, and a stone throne slowly emerged from the ground, gradually lifting his body up.
"Begin."
Uehara Naraku propped his face with his left hand, raised his right hand, and instructed with a light smile, "Capture the Zero Squad and hang them here... a good show needs a proper audience, and these people aren't qualified to hear my story."
"Bastard!"
Kirinji Tenjiro glared angrily at Uehara Naraku and shouted, "You little brat, how dare you..."
Bang!
A huge fist directly knocked Kirinji Tenjiro flying!
"Gurararara... Don't underestimate this little guy!"
Whitebeard Edward Newgate laughed broadly as he rushed forward, his fist glowing with a white light, smashing towards the Zero Squad: "No matter what, this little kid is someone both I and Roger acknowledge!"
"Ahahahahaha!"
Gol D. Roger swung a Pirate Sword towards the crowd, his bushy beard shaking as he charged towards the equally bearded Hyosube Ichibe: "This guy looks strong, I'll take him on!"
However, Uchiha Madara was a step faster!
A fierce flame shot towards Hyosube Ichibe!
Uchiha Madara slowly retracted his hand and coldly said, "You handle that guy over there, this one won't be that easy to deal with..."
In a certain sense...
The ability to name things and thereby decide their power made Hyosube Ichibe practically synonymous with possessing a portion of god-like power!
Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, Gol D. Roger, Edward Newgate.
The Four Great Deadguard Seat Officers of the Uehara Race quickly charged toward the remaining members of the Zero Squad, and a battle between both sides erupted in the Soul King Palace!
The members of the Zero Squad were acutely aware...
After Yakushi Kabuto's betrayal, they had no retreat, only by defeating the enemies before them could they resolve the crisis in the Soul King Palace!
As for Uchiha Madara and the others...
They had long ceased to worry about any aftermath, whether in the Ninja World or Pirate World, both had already been restored to peace under Akatsuki's rule.
The moment the battle commenced...
The atmosphere of the Soul King Palace became drastically murderous!
Sitting on his throne, Uehara Naraku casually took the juice handed over by Yakushi Kabuto, exuding an air of leisure that was quite at odds with the battlefield.
"Kabuto."
Uehara Naraku slightly turned his head and asked softly, "Isn't the battle over at Quiet Spirit Court about to start? Any news from Gin? And Ulquiorra, he hasn't died at Kurosaki Ichigo's hands again, has he?"
"Yes, I'll check."
Yakushi Kabuto raised his hand and brought his fingers together over his chest, a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes, and the next moment, his consciousness was in his Reanimation Legion!
After a long time.
Yakushi Kabuto slowly withdrew his hand and whispered, "Aizen Sousuke and Orochimaru's Hollow World army has just arrived at Quiet Spirit Court..."
"Hmm..."
Uehara Naraku raised his cup, treating the juice as if it were wine, and exclaimed, "Let's hope Captain Aizen everything goes well! If he can't break through the blockade at Quiet Spirit Court and get here, he won't receive the final reward we've prepared for him!"
Meanwhile.
Within Quiet Spirit Court.
The Guardian Court Thirteen Squads led by Yamamoto Shigekuni and the Reanimation Legion led by Senju Tobirama had already prepared their forces. Just as they were discussing heading to Hollow World to eradicate Aizen Sousuke, a spatial rift appeared over Quiet Spirit Court.
An array of Arrancar Hollow emerged from the rift...
The sky above Quiet Spirit Court quickly filled with so many Arrancar Hollow that they grabbed the attention of the entire Court, guessing what this meant...
Before launching an assault on Hollow World, the Arrancar Legion actually initiated a war against the Soul Society!
Ultimately.
Aizen Sousuke and Orochimaru led the Espada from Hollow World to arrive, slowly lowering their heads to overlook the Death God army formed by the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads and the Reanimation Legion.
"It's perfect to have everyone here."
Aizen Sousuke raised his hand slightly, suddenly pointing at the Death God army on the ground, and calmly issued an unquestionable command!
"Go, Arrancar Legion... wipe out everyone here!"
"Yes... Lord Aizen!"
The Arrancar Hollow entered their Resurreccion state, lunging at the Death God army below, and though they were outnumbered, their momentum was superior!
"That's..."
"Aizen... Sousuke!"
"And that one..."
"The legendary Orochimaru?"
"Hey, stay alert, the enemy has arrived!"
"Prepare to counter! That's Aizen Sousuke's Arrancar Legion!"
The captains of the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads clenched their jaws, intensely watching the Arrancar Hollow ordered to descend from the sky, each captain gripping their Zanpakuto tightly!
Since Aizen Sousuke's treachery, they had almost all confronted the Arrancar Legion before, knowing well how difficult these enemies were to deal with, requiring at least a Seat Officer or higher Death God to handle one Arrancar Hollow alone...
Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni abruptly opened his half-closed eyes and calmly issued his command: "Captains of each squad, immediately lead your squads to engage... the old man and Tobirama-san will fight alongside you..."
The wooden staff in Yamamoto Shigekuni's hand gradually turned to ashes, revealing his Zanpakuto, the most powerful Fire-type Zanpakuto in the Soul Society!
Ryujin Jakka!
Clang!
Yamamoto Shigekuni unsheathed his Zanpakuto, his body floating into the air, and he slashed at the approaching Arrancar Legion!
"All creation, reduce to ashes... Ryujin Jakka!"
The Zanpakuto in Yamamoto Shigekuni's hand erupted with flames, which instantly set the sky ablaze!
The temperature of the flames...
Made it nearly untouchable!
The Arrancars in the Legion that were close enough quickly fled the range of Ryujin Jakka's flames, fearing they would be burned to ashes!
"Keep advancing."
Aizen Sousuke's hand slowly raised, speaking softly, "There's no need to worry, Mr. Orochimaru and I will be at your side, fighting with you..."
After reassuring their Arrancar Legion, Aizen Sousuke slowly turned to Orochimaru beside him and said, "Then... I'll leave this to you, Mr. Orochimaru."
"Hehehehe, rest assured."
Orochimaru gave a nostalgic smile, took out a large scroll, and chuckled, "I'm quite familiar with Fire Attributes as well, though I never thought I'd need to use that fool Jiraiya's Jutsu..."
In the next moment, Orochimaru's fingers suddenly formed a seal!
Orochimaru's raspy voice echoed throughout the battlefield!
"It's no big deal... Inner Bakudo: Fire Sealing!"
