Chapter 65 Sneak Into Hueco Mundo (Part 1)
"Welcome to our fortress; may I inquire once more, are you Inoue Orihime? "
Aizen was perched on the throne, gazing down at Inoue.
As one of the leading figures among Shinigami, Aizen holds a stature comparable to the Head Captain.
The strength of humanity has always been regarded with disdain. Had it not been for his personal agenda, Aizen would never have taken Inoue captive.
"Yes! "
Faced with the intense scrutiny of numerous Arrancars surrounding her, she momentarily displayed signs of fear.
"I regret summoning you here so unexpectedly. So, Orihime, might you demonstrate your powers to me? "
Inoue, under Aizen's penetrating gaze, found herself immobile, only able to look at him with trepidation.
'Why is my body unresponsive when there are no constraints on me? '
At that moment, Shawlong interjected.
"The reason is that a certain someone is dissatisfied with no.6.' I was tasked with bringing her here. "
"Right, Ruby? "
The current Arrancar No.6, Ruby Ante Noel, turned her head, her expression twisted.
"Does it make a difference? Up until now, our battles have all been cloaked in the pretext of capturing this woman.
"In pursuit of that goal, I even allied with an Espada. How can I accept such a situation! ! "
Ruby's remarks elicited no response from Aizen; he responded coolly.
"My apologies, but I didn't foresee you being so thoroughly defeated.
Well then, Orihime, In order for everyone to witness your abilities, please heal Grimmjow's arm."
As soon as Aizen concluded his statement, Ruby, already fraught with discontent, replied nervously.
"How could that happen, Master Aizen. Grimmjow's arm has been reduced to ashes by the Tousen.
How can something lost be restored?"
Before Ruby could finish, Inoue Orihime strode directly to Grimmjow's side.
"I refuse! "
As Inoue uttered these words, two hair ornaments from her flowing locks soared out, forming a luminous yellow shield that encased Grimmjow.
"Hey, are you even listening to me?
How can you perform such an act merely for your own safety, I'll certainly ensure your demise afterwards
If your power is a sham, then there is no reason for you to. . . remain alive. . . "
Just as Ruby continued her insistent chatter, under the gaze of everyone around,
Grimmjow's severed arm began to gradually manifest once more thanks to Inoue Orihime's power.
It was not a restoration or treatment, but rather a method of reverting things to a previous state, akin to traveling back in time.
"Impossible. . . "
Upon witnessing Grimmjow's restored arm, Ruby exclaimed in disbelief, "How. . . how could this be? What exactly did you do, woman? "
Ruby's eyes brimmed with malice as Aizen on the throne remarked with a smile, "Do you not understand? Ulquiorra once concluded that this human possesses the capability to reverse time or space. "
"How could an ordinary human exhibit such extraordinary ability? "
Ruby continued to express her disbelief, reiterating her earlier sentiments.
"Exactly, so those two abilities do not apply; instead, the power she holds is...
It's the ability to dismiss a situation, rejecting and nullifying everything that befalls the subject.
It restores an object to its prior condition before the incident took place.
This transcends both time and space regression,
Easily exceeds the criteria set by divine will, It is a power that contravenes the domain of the divine. "
As Aizen concluded, the audience was left speechless. All the Arrancars stood frozen, unable to move, staring at Inoue Orihime with envious gazes.
At that moment, Grimmjow slowly flexed his arm, moving his fingers, and addressed Inoue, shifting slightly.
"Hey! Woman, I still have an injury here that you haven't healed. "
Grimmjow turned around, gesturing to his back, saying, "Right here! "
The scar on Grimmjow's back distinctly marked where he had once been designated as No. 6.
Upon hearing Grimmjow's remark, Ruby was stunned, her eyes widening in alarm as she asked.
"What—what is this for? Grimmjow?
What—"
As Ruby spoke, the wound on Grimmjow's back was instantly mended by Inoue.
With Ruby's scream, Grimmjow's claws had already breached her body.
"What are you doing? "
Grimmjow grinned malevolently and replied harshly, "Naturally, I'm going to kill you—that's what's going to happen!
Farewell, No. 6! "
As he spoke, Grimmjow spread his palms, and after a brief moment of condensing, a red Cero engulfed Ruby, reducing her to ashes. . .
And the designation No. 6 behind him was restored once more.
"Restored, strength back, I am Espada, No. 6, Grimmjow! "
"Hahaha—hahaha—"
Just as Grimmjow reveled in his regained power.
Kurosaki Ichigo, who had been absent for a day, accompanied Sado and Ishida Uryu, who had regained their strength through his father's special training, toward the Urahara store.
As the trio approached, they noticed that Urahara Kisuke had been waiting for them.
"Mr. Urahara? Why are you. . . "
Without allowing Ichigo to ponder too long, Urahara Kisuke calmly fanned his face and stated,
"I knew you'd be heading to Hueco Mundo. Since the Soul Society declines to assist, I'm the only one you can turn to for help. Come with me."
With that, Urahara Kisuke ushered them back into his underground space.
Meanwhile, outside Fiander's cave, Nell led her two subordinates, Dondachaka and Persche, as they quietly entered the cave.
"This is not good, Master Nell, Master Fiander has already been injured; we cannot disturb him now."
Perche scanned the surroundings anxiously and voiced her concerns.
"Idiot Persche, this is exactly why I need to visit Fiander. That massive idiot Reinhard wouldn't allow us inside and threw us out.
As he heads to the Night Palace, let's find a way to slip in! Just thinking about it makes Nell furious! "
While saying this, Nell tugged at her sweater's hood that Fiander gave her, stamped her tiny feet, and paused.
"Then. . . let's move quickly; it's freezing here, and if I stay any longer, I feel like I might freeze to death "
"Alright then! "
Thus, the quirky trio stealthily entered the cave where Fiander was resting.
