Chapter 625 - Orochimaru the Hueco Mundo's Mentor
Even Sosuke Aizen had to admit that this legendary figure, Orochimaru, was really not simple. He knew his Zanpakuto’s ability so easily…
What made Sosuke Aizen even more amazed was…
Orochimaru really knew the Uehara clan like the back of his hand.
All along, Sosuke Aizen had only been wary of people from two places. One of them was naturally the legendary Soul King Palace and the Zero Division living in it; another place was the inner city of Uehara City and the 13 Death Servants living in it.
Sure enough…
The 13 Death Servants had never been so simple.
However, the even more extraordinary person was Orochimaru who knew the 13 Death Servants!
Because the 13 Death Servants’ abilities had been hidden for thousands of years, so far, no one knew their true strength. The entire Soul Society knew that the Uehara clan’s confidentiality of the clan’s information was beyond imagination.
It should be said that…
The legendary Orochimaru…
Worthy of being the close friend of the Uehara clan’s first-generation head?
No, or rather, it could also be the mortal enemy of the Uehara clan!
“Looks like we have to meet this legendary figure…”
Spiritual power gathered in Sosuke Aizen’s palm. He crushed the scroll in his hand and slowly continued, “Ulquiorra, announce to the entire Hueco Mundo that I was looking for Mr. Orochimaru, I believe that he will definitely think of a way to meet us…”
After Sosuke Aizen finished speaking, the corners of his mouth suddenly revealed a smile, “No, maybe he’s already here, maybe it’s for us to visit him…”
“Hmm?”
There was some doubt on Tosen Kaname’s face.
Sosuke Aizen slowly stood up and left his throne step by step. He raised his head and said softly, “The guests are already here… Ulquiorra, prepare to welcome them!”
“…”
Ulquiorra nodded gloomily.
At this time, Ulquiorra also sensed that there were other powerful Hollows arriving at Las Noches periphery. He turned to look at Coyote Starrk, frowned, and said, “Other than us, does Hueco Mundo have other Arrancar?”
“…”
Coyote Starrk was silent for a while.
The strongest Arrancar shook his head slowly and forced himself to maintain the calmness on his face. How could he answer this?
Was Ulquiorra addicted to acting?
It was not like they had never seen hundreds of Arrancar in Orochimaru’s base…
Ulquiorra did not care about Coyote Starrk’s attitude. He calmly carried his own Zanpakuto and walked to Las Noches’ main entrance, waiting for the guests to arrive.
Outside the main entrance of Las Noches.
The light green-haired Nelliel and the light blue-haired Grimmjow slowly walked over. They were here as Orochimaru’s messengers. It was obvious that the two of them were only used to show Sosuke Aizen Orochimaru’s achievement.
Arrancar.
In other words, Hollows that removed their masks.
Sosuke Aizen was still experimenting with technology that let Menos possess the Shinigami’s power and become an Arrancar, and Orochimaru, who lived in seclusion in Hueco Mundo, had already mastered this technology completely.
This was Orochimaru declaring to Sosuke Aizen…
He had already figured out everything about Hueco Mundo before Sosuke Aizen had entered Hueco Mundo, and even grasped all the directions about Menos’ evolution!
This was a declaration…
It was also a show of strength!
First, he exposed Sosuke Aizen and Kyouka Suigetsu’s methods, and then he directly used the Arrancar he created to expose the Arrancar plan that Sosuke Aizen wanted to carry out in Hueco Mundo!
“It’s really interesting…”
Sosuke Aizen held his cheek with his palm, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved into a strange smile. However, his smile revealed a bit of gloominess, “Could it be that this person wants to tell me that everything I’m doing right now was just a leftover?”
“Who knows…”
Ichimaru Gin stood beside Sosuke Aizen. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, “The Impure World Reincarnation that Dean Kabuto cracked was also left behind by this Senior Orochimaru…”
“…”
The smile on Sosuke Aizen’s face eased a little.
Originally, Sosuke Aizen was a little unhappy. However, when he thought of the traces that Orochimaru had left behind in Soul Society, even a character like Kabuto had only obtained a superficial knowledge of him. He felt that it was somewhat acceptable when he heard what Ichimaru Gin said.
There was no need to care about these things now.
In comparison, the more things Orochimaru showed, the more beneficial it was for Sosuke Aizen. At least these secrets were no longer buried underground!
And…
Orochimaru did not seem to want to offend him.
Otherwise, Orochimaru could have sent a subordinate to deliver Kyouka Suigetsu’s method of cracking, but Orochimaru personally sent it over…
Of course…
This must also be a provocation.
For example, when Ulquiorra saw the contents of the scroll and knew Kyouka Suigetsu’s secret, he wanted to force Aizen to kill his subordinates.
However, Sosuke Aizen would not blame Ulquiorra because of this, because he knew that the real reason why he was strong was because of himself, not his Zanpakuto!
No matter what, the most important thing was to get enough secrets from Orochimaru first, at least to know the truth of history!
Outside of Las Noches.
Orochimaru’s messenger Nelliel stood at the main entrance and looked at Ulquiorra calmly, “We are here on Lord Orochimaru’s orders to invite the master of Las Noches as a guest…”
“Humph…”
Grimmjow, beside them, stood beside Nelliel and sneered at Ulquiorra, “Nell, don’t be too polite to these shallow and ignorant fellows. They are just a group of wild…”
Bang!
A vast reiatsu instantly erupted!
The reiatsu on Ulquiorra’s body was like a tall mountain, pressing down so hard that it was hard to breathe. He slowly raised his finger and pointed at Grimmjow!
If they had disagreements, it seemed like they were going to fight to the death!
However, at this time, Nelliel suddenly reached out and grabbed Ulquiorra’s arm. She said softly, “Sorry, our people were too rude…”
Although Nelliel said some polite words, her hands were merciless!
In an instant…
A force stronger than Ulquiorra burst out from Nelliel. This seemingly gentle woman was actually so strong!
This reiatsu strength…
Regardless of whether it was Ichimaru Gin, Tosen Kaname, or Coyote Starrk, all of them could not help but look in the direction of Las Noches’ main entrance!
They really did not expect that…
Hueco Mundo actually had Menos who could suppress Ulquiorra in terms of reiatsu!
Ichimaru Gin stood where he was, feeling the strength of reiatsu. He smiled and said, “If this is the result of Senior Orochimaru’s research, then he is really amazing…”
Sosuke Aizen narrowed his eyes and said softly, “Hueco Mundo… Arrancar… I really can’t help but want to see it…”
“I’ll go and capture them!”
Tosen Kaname suddenly clenched his own Zanpakuto.
However, Sosuke Aizen stopped Tosen Kaname. He slowly shook his head and said, “Don’t be too rude. Tell Ulquiorra to let our guests in!”
Outside of Las Noches.
Ulquiorra and Nelliel were still confronting each other.
The collision between reiatsu seemed to flash with black lightning in the air, forcing Grimmjow, who was next to them, to be unable to bear to stay by their side any longer…
However, Grimmjow seemed to be a little stubborn by nature. He gritted his teeth and insisted on standing in place to endure the suppression produced by the two strong Arrancar reiatsu…
It was just an act!
These two people were simply too serious!
To be honest, Grimmjow was a little amazed by Nelliel’s strength. He had never thought that this quiet female Arrancar in Orochimaru’s base that had always only been doing some trivial work…
However, at this time, she actually released a power that surpassed his own, which made Grimmjow a little amazed!
Of course…
In fact, Orochimaru preferred to nurture Grimmjow.
For an Arrancar created from Vasto Lorde-class Menos, Orochimaru often believed that they were already at the end of evolution. If they wanted to continue forward, they could only carry out forbidden experiments…
Grimmjow, this guy who was a little hot-blooded in battle and seemed to have nothing special about him. He was even just an Adjuchas-class Menos when he become an Arrancar, but he still has the possibility of evolution, and he himself has the desire and will to become stronger…
Just like now…
If other Menos encountered this situation, they might have already felt despair toward the strength of Ulquiorra and Nelliel, but Grimmjow believed that he could also become so strong!
Just as Ulquiorra and Nelliel wanted to transform, Tosen Kaname appeared beside them, “Ulquiorra, Lord Aizen invited our guests in. Don’t waste time here…”
“…”
Ulquiorra was silent for a while before he quietly withdrew his finger.
Nelliel’s face was still calm. She even spoke to Ulquiorra politely, “Thank you… for showing mercy… Lord Orochimaru taught me that it’s not because of your strength, but because you need to be polite on this kind of occasion.”
“…”
The scene was a little awkward.
Ulquiorra seemed to have not heard anything as he stepped aside.
Inside of Las Noches.
Sosuke Aizen, who was sitting on the throne, finally saw the two Arrancar. Were these two Arrancar nurtured by Orochimaru?
“Master of Las Noches.”
Nelliel took out a letter and raised her head to look at Sosuke Aizen who was sitting on the throne like an elegant gentleman. She whispered, “We are Lord Orochimaru’s messengers. Lord Orochimaru hopes to invite the master of Las Noches to watch the Arrancar graduation exam…”
“Huh?”
Sosuke Aizen frowned slightly.
This situation was something he had never heard of before!
Could it be that there was still a lot of new Arrancar? There was even a graduation exam for these Menos, was this really Menos, not those Shinigami students?!
Or should I say…
Orochimaru had already gathered a group of Arrancar and created a society. This was a little too shocking…
Hueco Mundo…
Could he also have the same life as Shinigami?
“Oh? Can you explain it to me in detail?”
Sosuke Aizen looked at Nelliel with a gentle expression on his face. He smiled and said, “I am just an outsider who arrived not long ago. I am very interested in your life… It seems that Ulquiorra and Starrk have never heard of these things…”
“…”
Nelliel was strangely silent for a second.
After a while, she said softly, “Because the Hollow on the surface is inherently powerful, they already belonged to the powerful Arrancar when they become one, and there is no need for Lord Orochimaru to test them…”
At this point, Nelliel continued to speak, “Shortly after Mr. Ulquiorra and Mr. Coyote Starrk become Arrancar, naturally, Lord Orochimaru knew about them and erased their names…”
“Huh?”
Aizen’s face turned slightly strange. However, he regained his calm in an instant. He smiled and said, “I am very curious. Why did you erase their names?”
“Because Arrancar from the surface naturally had weakness…”
Nelliel continued to speak without a change in expression, “Only those who have been truly cultivated by Lord Orochimaru and have obtained a body that belongs to them alone are eligible to truly join Hollow Society…”
“Hollow… Society?”
“Yes, a real Hollow Society.”
Nelliel nodded slowly and continued in a gentle voice, “Naturally, Arrancar’s weakness often means that it is difficult to restrain his anger and desire to fight. Only the Hollow that has been taught by Lord Orochimaru…”
“Wait a moment…”
Sosuke Aizen frowned slightly and said softly, “If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Orochimaru… seems to have built a Hollow Society in Hueco Mundo? This seems a bit unbelievable…”
This news…
Wasn’t this a bit too shocking?
A Hollow Society was far more than just building a Hollow army. This means that Hollow can already live like a Human and Shinigami…
“Huh?”
Grimmjow grinned from the side and revealed an arrogant smile, “Aren’t you a Shinigami? Isn’t it all thanks to Lord Orochimaru that you can live a stable life?”
“That really isn’t it…”
Ichimaru Gin smiled and retorted, “Although Senior Orochimaru did leave a lot of ink on Soul Society, but…”
“Gin.”
Sosuke Aizen waved his hand to stop Ichimaru Gin. He reached out to take Nelliel’s letter, adjusted his glasses, and said with a smile, “I will visit Mr. Orochimaru… In a sense, no, in various ways, I should call him Senior.”
Nelliel looked at Sosuke Aizen and nodded slowly, “Then… we will be waiting for your arrival at the Forest of Menos.”
After saying that, Nelliel added, “Of course, Lord Orochimaru told me before we left. He also wants to see you… You must be able to stir up Soul Society, no, to stir up all the worlds!”
