Among the two newborn Arrancar, the one named Wonderweiss had golden-yellow hair, purple eyes, several freckles on his face, prominent front teeth, a Hollow hole located in the center of his body, and a Hollow mask shaped like a crown.
The newborn Arrancar named Phoenix had fiery red hair, blue eyes, also had freckles on his face, and apart from the hair and eye color, everything else, even his facial features, was identical to Wonderweiss.
At a glance, one could tell they were biological brothers.
"Ahh ugh..."
The two newborn Arrancar spoke indistinctly, only able to utter simple words, and looked dull and foolish, almost like mentally disabled individuals.
"Ulquiorra, I have a task for you."
After the two newborn Arrancar emerged, Aizen no longer paid them any attention, instead looking towards Ulquiorra beside him.
"Aizen-sama, please give your orders."
Ulquiorra responded immediately.
"I'm somewhat interested in the abilities of that woman, Inoue Orihime. Find a way to bring that woman back to me. Oh, that's right, Inoue Orihime is the companion of Ichigo you and Yammy encountered last time. You should know who she is."
Aizen said.
"Yes."
Ulquiorra agreed without hesitation.
"Also, it seems Inoue Orihime went to Soul Society earlier. I don't know if she's returned yet, so before you go, find out where Inoue Orihime is located."
"Furthermore, regardless of whether Inoue Orihime is in Soul Society or has already returned to the Living World, you will likely encounter Hitsugaya Toshiro or Yamamoto Genryusai. Neither Hitsugaya Toshiro nor Yamamoto Genryusai are opponents you can defeat currently. So, to ensure the success of the mission, I will grant you a privilege… you may take anyone with you!"
Aizen said in a deep voice.
"I understand! Aizen-sama!"
Ulquiorra also knew that if he encountered a strong opponent of Toshiro's or Yamamoto's level, he wouldn't be able to achieve his goal by himself, so he unhesitatingly accepted the privilege Aizen granted.
"Wonderweiss and Phoenix just became Arrancar... they are too naive. This time, Ulquiorra, take them along to broaden their experience a bit. Oh, that's right..."
"And what about you? Would you like to go too, Grimmjow!"
Aizen suddenly looked at Grimmjow with an interesting expression.
Although Grimmjow had been stripped of his Espada rank because he acted on his own to go to the Living World without unauthorized and caused the loss of several Arrancar, this time, for some reason, Aizen still let him attend the meeting meant only for the Espada.
"Tch!"
Grimmjow made a defiant sound, but didn't refuse to go with Ulquiorra.
Firstly, he didn't dare refuse Aizen's order, and secondly, there was a chance he might encounter Ichigo, as he still wanted to settle things with him.
"So, if you need anyone else, choose them yourself, Ulquiorra."
Aizen left the selection of the remaining personnel to Ulquiorra.
"Then Yammy, and Starrk."
Besides choosing his old partner Yammy, Ulquiorra also chose Starrk, who ranked first among the Espada.
"Huh?"
Starrk, whose name was called, was startled.
"Uh... count me out. Finding people or whatever is too troublesome."
Starrk immediately refused, finding it troublesome.
Starrk's personality, like Kyoraku's, was very lazy and he disliked trouble, so when he saw Ulquiorra had chosen him, he refused without hesitation.
However, Aizen smiled gently and persuaded: "Starrk, Hitsugaya Toshiro is in the Living World, Yamamoto Genryusai is in Soul Society. You'll encounter one of them no matter what. Their strength is no less than mine..."
"Although one is in the Living World and the other in the Seireitei, they will be cautious and won't dare to use their full power, but even so, it's more than Ulquiorra alone can handle. If they were to get serious, not only would Ulquiorra fail his mission, he probably wouldn't even be able to return safely himself. So..."
"For the safety of your comrade, I'm sorry to trouble you to personally make the trip with Ulquiorra. If you do that, even if you encounter Hitsugaya Toshiro or Yamamoto Genryusai, I believe with your and Ulquiorra's strength, you will be able to return safely."
Aizen spoke to Starrk with sincerity.
"Ah well, since you put it that way, I guess I have no choice. I'll go with Ulquiorra."
Starrk nodded reluctantly.
If Aizen had forcefully ordered Starrk, given his personality, he might not have agreed. But since Aizen used the safety of comrades as a reason, Starrk actually fell for it.
"Then let's depart."
Since Starrk had agreed to go after Aizen's persuasion, Ulquiorra didn't waste any time and prepared to leave promptly.
"Wait!"
A voice suddenly rang out.
"Hmm?"
Everyone looked towards the speaker and saw an Arrancar with short black hair with an asymmetrical fringe, light purple pupils, a remaining mask on the left side of her head, three pink diamond-shaped tattoos on her left forehead, wearing a long-sleeved crop top, looking very beautiful. She also had a '6' tattoo on the front of her right waist.
"Luppi, do you have something else to discuss?"
Aizen inquired with a smile.
Luppi Antenor, the new Sexta Espada. That's right, the new Sexta Espada.
Ever since the original Sexta Espada, Grimmjow, was kicked out of the Espada for making a mistake, Luppi Antenor took over Grimmjow's position.
Also, just a side note, although Luppi is more feminine than a woman in both name and appearance, 'he' is truly a man!
"Aizen-sama, please let me go with Ulquiorra and the others as well."
Luppi requested.
"Oh? What's this? Are you interested in that woman, Orihime, as well?"
Aizen asked.
"No, it's just that even a trash like Sexta, oh no, the former Sexta can go. If I didn't dare to go, wouldn't I be even worse than such trash?"
Luppi said, looking provocatively at Grimmjow as he spoke.
"What did you say, you bastard!"
Grimmjow immediately glared at Luppi angrily.
"Enough, Grimmjow. More people mean more strength. Since Luppi wants to go, let him go along. That way, the chances of mission success will be higher."
Aizen looked very interested, as if he was very curious to see what sparks would fly between Luppi and Grimmjow.
"Tch!"
Since Aizen had spoken, even though Grimmjow was furious, he could only swallow it.
"Well then, Aizen-sama, we'll be going now."
Ulquiorra said to Aizen, then left with Starrk, Yammy, Grimmjow, Luppi, and the others...
…
Living World, Northern Karakura Town.
Cracks like a spiderweb suddenly appeared in the sky, then evolved into a black tunnel. Several figures walked out, namely Starrk and his Fracción Lilynette, as well as Grimmjow, Yammy, Luppi, Wonderweiss, Phoenix, and others.
As for Ulquiorra, for some reason, he did not appear with the group.
"What! Arrancar!!"
Sojiro and Ashido were patrolling nearby, so they noticed Grimmjow and the others as soon as they appeared.
"Quickly notify Captain! The Arrancar are attacking again!!"
