Free Web NovelChapter 323: Chapter 416 Seal
After a while,
Eero was standing inside the special room, looking at the Hogyoku flickering with blue light in front of him, its energy a warm, pulsing curiosity that seemed to call out to his own soul.
"How is it? Do you want to feel the power of this Hogyoku?" Aizen, standing beside him, asked, looking at him calmly.
Eero raised his brow and then pointed at the Nel far away standing behind them with a broken mask on her head. "How about fixing the mask on her head? Can this thing do that?"
Aizen raised his brow and then glanced at Nel a smile appeared on his face, he nodded and said,
"Of course, it can, but you have to wait for a while until the seal above Hōgyoku is removed,"
After speaking, he glanced at Eero and then added, "How about you stay in the residence I chose for you in this palace, Gin? Show him the residence."
Eero nodded and then following Gin they appeared on the third tower of the palace, the residence floor of former Espada Nelliel Tu Odelshwank, which was now Nel beside him.
"You have defeated the number 5 Espada; you can replace him now," Gin reminded after leaving him near the residence gate.
Eero raised his left hand and showed the middle finger with the number 5 above it and said, "Do you mean this number?"
Then he shook his head, turned around, and walked inside the residence, adding, "I don’t care about numbers, anyway. Thanks for showing me the residence."
Gin’s brow furrowed, looking at his and Nel’s back walking inside the residence, and then his expression returned to the same as before; he turned around, walked away, and returned to the throne room thoughtfully.
After returning to the throne room, he glanced at Aizen, who was looking at the footage of Eero battling against Nnoitra Gilga.
"Do you want to ask me why I am paying so much attention to him?" Aizen pointed out what he wanted to ask before Gin could ask him.
Gin was startled, and then he glanced at Aizen, calmly waiting for his explanation.
Aizen then pointed at the footage of Eero using his sword reflection, and Nnoitra’s existence cracked like a mirror, and commented, "As you can see, his ability is a little troublesome, something to do with reflection, although I am not afraid of him, but if someone willingly comes to you, then why chase him away?"
A surprise flashed through Gin’s eyes looking at the footage, then he glanced at Aizen.
’Finally, is it time?’ Gin thought to himself, looking at the Eero in the footage with a flickering gaze. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"Inform Ulquiorra; I want him to do something for me in the living world," Aizen spoke, looking at the thoughtful Gin.
Gin nodded and then turned around and walked away toward the Ulquiorra residence.
Meanwhile, after dealing with everything inside the Soul Society, Ichigo and his friends returned to the real world, leaving Rukia behind in the Soul Society upon her request.
...
A few days passed,
In the living world,
The Garganta near the park opened, a jagged tear in space, and two strange figures walked outside from it, the air crackling with their arrival.
"The human world is really boring; it’s the same as before when I was a hollow."
The burly, large figure spoke; he was Yammy, the tenth Espada, and the slim man with green eyes and a mask piece on his head was the eighth Espada, Ulquiorra Cifer.
"The reishi concentration here is very low; it is difficult for me to even breathe."
Yammy complained again, looking at the green land and trees of the park around, the density of spiritual particles painfully thin compared to Hueco Mundo.
"Stop complaining; you insisted on coming despite knowing I could handle this alone," Ulquiorra reminded, his voice a flat, emotionless drone, looking at everything around expressionlessly.
"You are right, my bad."
Yammy replied as he walked up the side of the crater to the park above.
Upon seeing the dozens of people gathered around the crater and wondering if a meteorite created it,
"Don’t come near me; you people don’t even have spiritual power in your soul."
Yammy warned pre-factually despite knowing they couldn’t see him and initiated Gonzui, an invisible hollow domain spread around, a silent, suffocating spiritual vacuum that caused the souls of hundreds of humans in the surrounding area to be sucked out of their bodies, floating in the sky above them like countless pale lanterns.
Elsewhere in Karakura Town, Orihime and Sado saw a man collapse after his soul was drained from his body, his physical form instantly lifeless.
"Wait, we should help him," Orihime suddenly insisted, looking at Chad, her voice laced with fear. But Chad after looking at the man’s body, shook his head and replied silently, "He is dead,"
Then he pointed at the souls gathering in the sky, a chilling, pale swirl of energy, and added, "Maybe he died because of that?"
Orihime was startled and glanced at the hundreds of souls in the sky, then hurriedly ran toward the park. "It’s that direction; hurry up; it must be the work of those bounts."
Back at the park,
Yammy finished consuming the souls of the surrounding humans and expressed disgust at how they tasted.
"Of course weak souls always taste bad; hurry up, we have to find that human and deal with him."
Ulquiorra replied, and then he noticed one of the girls among the humans was still alive after Yammy’s attack. While she was looking at their direction, she was Tatsuki, the classmate of Ichigo and friend of Orihime, her body convulsing slightly under the residual pressure.
