Hueco Mundo.
When Aizen was sealed, some of the remaining Arrancars here also lost their leader.
Even the former King of Hueco Mundo, Balegang, died in this battle.
Naturally, the Xuye Palace organization was disbanded at this time, leaving only three or two kittens, big and small, scattered in various places.
Of course, there are also some Arrancars who are eyeing the Akatsuki organization, which is also a powerful organization in Hueco Mundo. It can be said...
In their impression, the Akatsuki organization was even far more powerful than the previous Xuye Palace.
However, the requirements for joining the Akatsuki organization were too high. They were not qualified to enter, so they had no choice but to choose Xuye Palace.
But now, they have completed the Arrancar and are far more powerful than before.
Although the recruitment requirements of the Akatsuki organization do not seem to value strength, they believe that as long as they are strong enough, they will definitely be able to join the Akatsuki organization.
This theory cannot be said to be wrong. If they are stronger than anyone else, then even Xia Li can't stop the other party from joining.
Unfortunately, obviously, their strength cannot reach that level. If not, they don't need to join other organizations, they can just establish one by themselves.
Therefore, when they came to the Akatsuki organization with a proud attitude and severely damaged some more disciplined and self-aware Daxu who had settled near the Akatsuki organization, they were angrily targeted by Nilu.
Although these well-behaved Daxu have no self-awareness, it is not impossible to have consciousness, so they may be her future companions. How can they be bullied by these sudden Arrancars?
Then, after they stated their purpose, Nilu drove them out without any explanation and gave them a lesson.
Their strength is indeed stronger than that of Hollows without Arrancars, but for beings like Nelu who are descended from the Great Hollow Arrancars of Vastod level, they are all equally weak.
Later, there were still some Arrancars who held grudges because of this and did not dare to cause trouble for Nelu, but they focused on those unconscious Daxu.
As a result, before they could succeed, Nilu discovered it and this time without holding back, he took action and completely eliminated it.
This was not because Nelu discovered their plan in advance, but because Ulquiorra reminded them after learning about it.
After Ulquiorra returned, Stark's previous task of driving away some evil-minded Daxu had already been left to him, because Ulquiorra was more suitable for this kind of observational task.
And Ulquiorra did really well. Many Daxu who had developed vague consciousness successfully joined the Akatsuki organization through his eyes and became a member of the Akatsuki organization.
However, not all the Arrancars who came out of Xuye Palace are like this. There are still some who are more peaceful and self-sufficient after Arrancars.
They also successfully became members of the Akatsuki organization after being inspected by Harribel.
Among them, there is even the former three-blade Grimmjow Jakarjak from the Hollow Night Palace.
After Harribel's inspection, the opponent thought that he was just very impatient and had a bad attitude towards fighting. He liked to challenge strong opponents under equal conditions and purely enjoyed the fun of fighting.
In fact, Harribel did not want to let Grimmjow join the Akatsuki organization at first, because she felt that it might disturb the rules of the Akatsuki organization.
However, Grimmjow was caught by Zaraki Kenpachi later, and then Harribel thought about it, these two are the type who are very crazy when fighting.
Normally, it would be fine. After Zaraki Kenpachi promised that he would look at each other from behind, Harribel agreed.
Naturally, Grimmjow was not convinced by Zaraki Kenpachi at first, but instead made a request for a fight.
Suddenly, Grimmjow still remembered Zaraki Kenpachi's wild laughter and Harribel's eyes that seemed to be looking at a fool.
At that time, Grimmjow didn't know the reason for this look, but he would know it later.
Because Zaraki Kenpachi didn't even use his first Kai, and his spiritual power didn't even materialize, he just used the tattered ZanpakutÅ and his powerful physique to fight Grimmjow.
During the battle, all of Grimmjow's attacks were blocked by Kenpachi Zaraki's body. Although he was barely able to break through the defense, such injuries were casual to Kenpachi Zaraki, who had abnormal recovery power. It will be able to recover.
Ever since, Grimmjow was cut down by Zaraki Kenpachi in this confused feeling of having his cognition destroyed.
At this point, Grimmjow was completely convinced by Kenpachi Zaraki, but given his character, it was impossible to give up the challenge to Kenpachi Zaraki. He would work hard to become stronger, and then continue to challenge Kenpachi Zaraki.
And this was exactly why Zaraki Kenpachi fell in love with Grimmjow.
The opponent's wild fighting style matches his, and he likes this kind of character, so there is no reason why he can't join this organization.
Later, Grimmjow also understood why Harribel looked at him like that.
It turns out that Kenpachi Zaraki would fight with the royal knights in the Akatsuki organization every once in a while.
As for what a knight is, Grimmjow also knows, like the Ten Blades of Xuye Palace.
The Akatsuki organization is the 12 royal knights, and above the royal knights, there is naturally the king, who is the leader of the Akatsuki organization.
It's just that although there are 12 seats for Royal Knights, currently only five people - Kenpachi Zaraki, Ulquiorra, Stark, Harribel, and Neru - have become Royal Knights.
There are still 7 vacant seats, and no one has been qualified to take over one of them so far.
Therefore, after knowing this, Grimmjow set his sights on the seat of the Royal Knights. He believed that he was still qualified to become one of them.
Until, he saw Zaraki Kenpachi fighting with other royal knights.
Sometimes it's Kenpachi Zaraki fighting one of them, sometimes it's fighting everyone else.
However, no matter which battle it was, he discovered that even the weakest Nelu was unfathomably strong, let alone Ulquiorra who could defeat him twice.
At this time, Grimmjow showed a fiery look in his eyes, he wanted to become a member of the Twelve Royal Knights.
And he must defeat all the royal knights above him step by step, and then become the strongest.
However, Grimmjow still hasn't seen Xia Li take action, so he doesn't know how strong Xia Li is, but if he can convince Zaraki Kenpachi, then he must be stronger.
Then, Grimmjow also joined the list of Zaraki Kenpachi to fight, which can be regarded as taking the first step.
At this point, the aftermath of the dissolution of Xuye Palace ended.
Of course, Hueco Mundo's strength has still dropped a lot. Although... the Ten Blades Aizen is looking for are not as high quality as those in the original work, they are still pretty good. Even Bailegang, the king of Hueco Mundo, died in this battle, not to mention the other Ten Blades.
In other words, Grimmjow was left in Xuye Palace in Hueco Mundo, and he barely escaped later.
It should be said that only the Arrancars left in Hueco Mundo were not dead, and the others... were all dead.
It goes without saying that everyone knows that the Arrancars in Xuye Palace are completely treated as consumables.
Xia Li didn't pay attention to Grimmjow's joining. The opponent's strength was not worthy of his attention. Recently, he had been thinking about the next path, constantly absorbing spiritual power and compressing it to the maximum.
After his breakthrough, the spiritual power that had already reached its ultimate compression naturally reached a new limit, but Xia Li has not yet reached this limit.
But, this is a matter of time.
If this continues, there may be no follow-up.
At this time, Xia Li actually also knew that he and Lan Ran were actually walking the same path in theory.
The difference is that Aizen relied on the power of Benyu to achieve his own evolution, thus breaking through the limits of Death and Hollow.
The same principle applies to Xia Li, but he is also a bit like Kurosaki Ichigo.
For example, the power of Hollow and the power of Death in Kurosaki Ichigo's body were fused together, and he also made the same fusion after Ming Jing Shisui carried his spiritual pressure to complete the Hollow.
However, the upper limit of this kind of integration stops here.
"So, do we need to continue to fuse? The remaining power in this world, the Quincy? Or... hell?" Xia Li thought, but felt that this was not feasible.
Kurosaki Ichigo is an extremely special example, and knowing the existence of the Quincy King and the Saint, Xia Li cannot easily try to contact the Quincy's power.
He wasn't worried that that kind of sanctification would make him lose all his power, but when the Quincy King appeared, it always left a weakness.
Moreover, even if you fuse the power of a Quincy, can you reach the level of the Spirit King?
Xia Li thought about Ichigo Kurosaki's final Getsuga Tensho, and shook his head. It probably still wouldn't work, but the upper limit might be a little higher.
Therefore, the safest way is still to explore the next path through the Spirit King.
"Spirit King...ah." Xia Li's eyes were a little deep. In fact, he didn't want to make too much noise in this world, but if this was the only way, then that was all he could do.
But, how to do it?
And should we bring the Akatsuki organization in?
As the leader of the Akatsuki organization, even if he didn't have this idea, others wouldn't think so.
As long as he takes action, the Akatsuki organization will be automatically admitted, right?
Now, the strength of the Akatsuki organization is pretty good, even if it is against the current Gotei 13 team, it will not be too weak, but if the people from the Zero team intervene... it will be hard to say.
And now it is obvious that everyone in the Akatsuki organization has not yet reached their peak state.
Xia Li wouldn't say it himself, but the ultimate compression of spiritual power has not yet been completed.
Zaraki Kenpachi still cannot control the swastika, and he doesn't know when he will be able to complete the control of the swastika, but even without the swastika, his power exceeds the captain level.
Ulquiorra, after completing the second stage of Return to the Blade, is still improving rapidly. He needs to be given enough time to grow up. At least if he wants to grow to the peak of a captain, it should not be a problem.
Stark's current strength is stuck, and it will take a certain amount of time to complete the second stage of returning to the edge. As long as he completes the second stage of returning to the edge, his strength will improve by leaps and bounds, and he may be able to surpass Ulquiorra in one fell swoop. Maybe Zaraki Kenpachi, the swastika.
Moreover, Stark also made it clear that he seemed to have touched the power of the second stage of the Return of the Blade. All that was left was the accumulation of time or... a life-and-death fight like Ulquiorra's at that time.
Because no matter how strong Kenpachi Zaraki is, Stark still knows that the opponent will not really kill him. With such a mentality, it is still different from a real death fight.
Not to mention Harribel and Nelu, they had just completed Arrancar and their strength was in a period of rapid growth, so they needed more time to improve their strength.
This is true even for Grimmjow, who just joined.
Therefore, although it is impossible to wait until everyone completes the second stage of return, at least let them grow to their current limit and be fully prepared before taking the next step.
Thinking like this, Xia Li also summoned everyone, sat on the throne at the front of the round table, and looked at the five royal knights.
It's a pity that the organization was named Akatsuki instead of World Tree...
But that's okay, after all, the Royal Knights are also called the Royal Tree-cutting Group, and it does seem a bit unlucky to actually become the World Tree.
Xia Li quickly told everyone about her desire for the Spirit King's power.
Suddenly, the five people present were shocked, including Zaraki Kenpachi, who did not expect that Xia Li would target the Spirit King.
Not to mention Harribel and Nilu, they all know the ending of Xuye Palace before, and now Xia Li seems to be ending with the Akatsuki organization.
Stark and Ulquiorra didn't find it strange.
Looking at everyone's reactions, Xia Li was not surprised, and then told the spirit king's current state and relationship with the Three Realms.
In other words, the Spirit King is just a wedge.
"Is this really the case?" Zaraki Kenpachi felt a little overwhelmed, but the legendary Soul King turned out to be just a wedge that could neither move nor fight, which sounded a bit boring.
"Chief, if you really gain the power of the Spirit King, will it lead to the Three Realms..." Stark asked.
Then, Harribel and Nilu also looked at Xia Li, which was also what they were concerned about.
"No, because I will become a new existence on the same level as the Spirit King. Then I can naturally use my power to maintain the stability of the Three Realms." Xia Li replied.
In fact, there is a problem with his words, that is, what if he cannot break through?
However, Xia Li has strong self-confidence. As long as he knows the next step, he will be able to complete the breakthrough and there will be no other mistakes.
Hearing Xia Li's confident words, Stark nodded. He naturally believed that Xia Li could do it, so he said that he had no problem.
Since Xia Li wants to do this, he will accompany him until the end.
"I support the leader's decision!" Ulquiorra suddenly said with unusual fervor and determination. (End of chapter)
