"Damn it, Muramasa!"
At the moment he saw the man, Kaelith's heart nearly stopped.
After entering Hueco Mundo, he thought that K?ga Kuchiki hadn't followed them, so he hadn't maintained his mind-sealing state.
Of course, just in case, he had a contingency plan.
If K?ga Kuchiki suddenly appeared, he would immediately reactivate his mind seal.
Even during the previous battles, he hadn't dared to relax.
After all, if K?ga Kuchiki had indeed followed them and chose to intervene during a fight, it would obviously be the best opportunity.
But along the way, there was no trace of K?ga Kuchiki.
At the last moment of opening the Garganta, he finally let his guard down.
Muramasa keenly seized this moment and appeared beside him.
Seeing Muramasa's fingers just inches away from his body, Kaelith's pupils contracted.
If he got touched this time, his purity—no, the secrets in his mind would all be exposed!
He didn't care if his Zanpakut? rebelled.
But if K?ga Kuchiki discovered his identity as a transmigrator, the existence of his bound system, and his knowledge of the future events in Soul Society... if these were revealed, he'd be done for!
"You... you can't do this!!"
Kaelith's face showed urgency as he swiftly retreated.
Muramasa smiled.
He had anticipated Kaelith would try to evade and was prepared to accelerate.
As soon as Kaelith moved, Muramasa had already caught up.
His fingers were only a few centimeters away from touching Kaelith!
At that critical moment, a calm voice rang out—
"Had? Number Sixty-Three: Raik?h?."
Boom!!!
A massive golden lightning bolt instantly tore through the vast space, rushing toward Muramasa!
"Ugh!"
Muramasa's expression changed.
He could feel that this blast was immensely powerful—something only a captain-level Shinigami could unleash.
If he took it head-on, he'd undoubtedly suffer severe injuries.
Considering Kaelith's Zanpakut? hadn't even achieved Bankai, it wasn't worth the risk.
In the instant he made this judgment, his figure flickered and vanished from his spot.
The roaring golden lightning engulfed the place where he had just stood.
From behind a stone pillar, K?ga Kuchiki emerged with a grim face.
"Who are you?!"
He had been so close to seizing Kaelith's Zanpakut?, making him kneel and repent for his sins.
And now someone had appeared to interfere?!
He was beyond furious.
Yoruichi also turned in surprise, looking in the direction from which the Raik?h? had been fired.
Under everyone's gaze, a figure enveloped in colorful Kid? light slowly walked out.
Seeing this figure, K?ga Kuchiki was initially stunned, then suddenly remembered something, showing a surprised expression.
"The Shadow killer... aren't you dead?"
Within the light, the figure let out a light laugh.
"Even things witnessed with your own eyes may not have truly happened."
"Let alone mere hearsay."
Originally, upon seeing this glowing figure, Kaelith was a bit unsure.
But hearing this flamboyant and provocative speech, he couldn't help but smile.
As the words fell, the luminous figure extended his hand and slowly drew the Zanpakut? from his waist.
Seeing this action, Kaelith was slightly startled.
Then, he quickly turned around, closed his eyes, and pulled Yoruichi into his arms, covering her eyes.
"Hey, Kaelith, what are you..."
"Close your eyes, quickly!"
Kaelith urged in a low voice.
Hearing him, Yoruichi didn't hesitate and promptly closed her eyes.
Seeing Kaelith had closed his eyes, Aizen raised his sword.
"Shatter... Ky?ka Suigetsu!"
---
Time rewound.
In the boundless sea of sand, the bright moon hung high.
A young man with wavy brown hair, wearing a black Shihakush?, suddenly appeared.
In the next second, he lightly stepped on a sand dune and disappeared again.
While continuously using Shunpo, he occasionally looked back.
Behind him, a humanoid Hollow was chasing.
Although her entire body was covered in bone armor, revealing only the upper half of her face, the prominent features on her chest indicated she was female.
Aizen was a bit curious.
He wondered if Kaelith's preferences extended to female Hollows.
Knowing that guy's personality, perhaps they did...
Suddenly, a strong surge of Reiatsu emanated from behind.
Aizen's figure flickered as he dodged to the side.
Almost simultaneously, a golden Cero streaked past where he had just been.
Strong—very strong.
This humanoid Hollow was the most powerful he had ever encountered.
Her vast Reiatsu far exceeded that of a captain-level Shinigami.
With his current strength, attempting to control her with Ky?ka Suigetsu was nearly impossible.
However... his abilities didn't rely solely on Ky?ka Suigetsu.
While fleeing, he had set up several trigger-activated Kid? spells along the way.
By circling around a few times, he could use these Kid? to bind her.
Once she was restrained, he would launch a fierce attack.
After depleting her strength, he planned to use a secret medicine he had developed to temporarily elevate his Reiatsu limit.
At that point, there was a high probability he could use Ky?ka Suigetsu effectively.
The thought of such a powerful Hollow soon becoming his experimental material filled Aizen with anticipation.
Tier Harribel stepped using Sonído, relentlessly pursuing him. (t/n: It is the yellow-haired female Arrancar (#3) if you forgot)
A few hours earlier, she had been sleeping on a sand dune when she suddenly noticed a Shinigami appear silently.
After the Shinigami appeared, his goal was clear: he headed straight for a lone Adjuchas.
Under Harribel's astonished gaze, the young Shinigami made his move.
As if he had practiced countless times, each of his attacks targeted spots that would disable movement without causing fatal injuries.
In no time, the Adjuchas was subdued, losing the ability to resist.
After defeating the Adjuchas, the young Shinigami seemed pleased.
He took out a device and threw it onto the Adjuchas.
The Hollow struggled briefly before being bound by numerous Reishi ropes that emerged, rendering it immobile.
The young Shinigami patted the Adjuchas, a slight smile on his lips.
Seeing this, Harribel couldn't help but take a deep breath.
So that's what's been happening!
Recently, Baraggan, the ruler of Las Noches, had been sending forces to hunt her down. (t/n I gausse both grimmjow and her are bing hunted?)
The reason was that many powerful Hollows from Las Noches had mysteriously disappeared, and they were convinced she had devoured them.
When she first heard this accusation, she thought it was baseless slander.
But witnessing this scene, she finally understood that Baraggan wasn't unjustified in his suspicions.
Someone was indeed secretly capturing powerful Hollows in Hueco Mundo.
And it was a Shinigami!
Harribel was furious.
It was one thing for this Shinigami to capture her kind, but to frame her for it?
If it weren't for him, her life would have remained peaceful. How could she now be subjected to Baraggan's constant harassment and attacks?
Without any hesitation, she moved swiftly and charged directly at Aizen!
