"Instructor, you go back first. I'm going to stay in Hueco Mundo for a while longer."
Bai Yuetong strode towards Orihime Inoue and her group. He had long coveted the power of Fullbring, and now it was time to count his spoils of war.
Battle!
"Alright, I'll report to His Majesty. But don't delay here for too long. At least find time to return to the empire and report to His Majesty. And remember to stay in touch. With your excellent ability, His Majesty might entrust you with an important task at any time."
Seeing this, how could Quilge not know what Bai Yuetong was up to? He could only offer a few words of advice before opening a shadow gate and promptly leaving Hueco Mundo, returning to the Wandenreich.
"What... what do you want to do?" Orihime Inoue asked nervously as Bai Yuetong walked straight towards her. Thinking of how her first kiss had been stolen earlier, her heart couldn't help but flutter with fear. She wanted to retreat, but seeing Chad lying on the ground, her concern for her companion forced her to stand her ground and face him.
"To have you, or to kill you."
Bai Yuetong did not hide his desires.
"If you have a problem, take it out on me! I'll let you have a go at me, can you let her go for now?" Loly Aivirrne, though extremely frightened, gathered her courage, puffed out her chest, and stood in front of Orihime.
Her actions not only surprised Orihime, who had suffered her bullying in Las Noches, but also took Bai Yuetong by surprise.
It seems the protagonist group's reputation is well-deserved. Ichigo could feel a sense of kinship with Ulquiorra, who had kidnapped his companion Orihime and almost killed him. If he hadn't died, they would have likely become friends, just like the boisterous Grimmjow, who had also beaten him up but ended up on good terms with him.
And Orihime Inoue had actually formed a subtle friendship with the female Arrancar who had bullied her out of jealousy, as if she had reformed them. As expected of the saintly-hearted protagonist group.
"Loly..."
The timid and cautious Menoly Mallia secretly tugged at Loly's hem, signaling her not to be impulsive. But after several hints went unheeded, she gritted her teeth and stood with Loly, saying with a trembling voice, "Me... me too! Loly and I will do anything, please forgive her for her impulsiveness."
"Right, me too!"
The previously cowering and terrified little Nel also jumped out at this moment to join in the fun.
"When did you get the illusion that the spoils of war could make demands? And why should I have to choose?"
Bai Yuetong sneered, unmoved by this scene of sisterly affection. He instantly created a house with his Reishi manipulation ability and said as he walked in, "Come on, everyone inside!"
"Lady Harribel?" Sung-Sun asked with some concern.
"Let's go. The weak cannot refuse the invitation of the strong. He is now the de facto ruler of Hueco Mundo. If we insist on refusing, it will only lead to greater sacrifices," Harribel said helplessly.
The law of the jungle was the survival rule of Hueco Mundo.
Although the few of them, as intelligent female Arrancar, would band together for mutual help to minimize losses and avoid sacrifices, in the face of Bai Yuetong's overwhelming strength, they could only submit.
Harribel had joined with Bai Yuetong many times and had reached some agreements. They were now a community of shared interests, prospering and suffering together.
She knew that Bai Yuetong's ability meant that he would continuously plunder high-quality women to increase his strength. There was no way to persuade him. And Harribel's sunk costs were now extremely high; she could only continue to meet his demands.
"If that's the case, then let's go! Even if it's that kind of thing, if we stand united, we won't let him have an easy time! Let's show him what we're made of! Right, Mila?" Apacci said competitively, like a fighting cock despite being a deer.
"Hmph, you don't have to tell me. I'll definitely be the last one standing. Don't you be the first one to fall," Mila Rose refused to back down, puffing out her chest, which was quite formidable.
As a lioness, she possessed a wild aura, and with her brown, toned abs, her chest was even more impressive than the already well-endowed Apacci.
"Honestly, you two idiots. What's there to compete about in this..." Sung-Sun covered her forehead, exasperated, but still followed them with tacit understanding.
They were all sisters, and as long as they fought alongside Lady Harribel, they were fearless.
"Refusal will only lead to greater sacrifices..." Orihime Inoue muttered to herself, biting her lower lip and clutching the hem of her pink sleeveless top. After a moment of struggle, she finally made up her mind and walked into the house, step by step.
Like a compassionate saint making a noble sacrifice, her face seemed to shine with a holy, merciful, and steadfast light.
The anxious Nel was powerless. If Ichigo knew, he would be heartbroken. But she could only watch as Orihime walked into the house. She hated herself at this moment for not having the power to protect everything.
Poof!
A puff of smoke cleared, and little Nel, due to excessive anxiety, had temporarily reverted to her adult form and rushed towards the house.
Unfortunately, with her current strength, rushing over still wouldn't allow her to protect anything. She was just another dish for Bai Yuetong.
…
"Damn it!"
Only after rushing out of the Garganta did Ichigo Kurosaki realize that he had returned to Karakura Town in the World of the Living.
He immediately wanted to go back, but the Senkaimon had already disappeared. Kisuke Urahara had never intended for him to go support Soul Society, and even Urahara himself hadn't returned with him.
At this moment, Ichigo Kurosaki was extremely anxious. The fate of his friends in Soul Society was unknown, and his companions who had gone to Hueco Mundo with him had been captured by the enemy. Now, he was all alone.
And even if he wanted to go to Hueco Mundo or Soul Society to help, he didn't know how to open a Senkaimon on his own.
This was the consequence of relying too much on Kisuke Urahara in the past. It was also related to the fact that he had never delved deep into the source of his own power. Otherwise, with just his Hollow power, he could have easily torn open a Garganta leading directly to Hueco Mundo or Soul Society on instinct.
However, the current Ichigo Kurosaki could only fly around aimlessly like a headless fly.
He was very anxious, completely seeing red, but he just didn't know how to open a portal.
His frantic spiritual pressure, raging through Karakura Town in his extreme anxiety, was sensed not only by Isshin Kurosaki, but also by Hiyori and Lisa, who were still in the World of the Living, as well as his classmates Keigo Asano and Tatsuki Arisawa, who had gained spiritual awareness because of him. Even Ryūken Ishida, who had always kept his distance from the Kurosaki family, felt it.
Even ordinary residents felt a heavy weight on their chests, an inexplicable sense of panic.
If this continued, Ichigo Kurosaki's rampant, powerful spiritual pressure could even inadvertently crush some weaker humans.
"This kid... what's wrong with him?" his cheap old dad, Isshin Kurosaki, muttered. "It's like he's telling everyone he's about to cry his eyes out."
While Isshin was still wondering, Hiyori Sarugaki and Lisa Yadōmaru had already followed the spiritual pressure and rushed over, giving Ichigo a big flying kick to the face on sight.
