Chapter 1138 Doors to Hell


    Szayporro stopped provoking Ichigo andpany and frowned a little bit, "Hmmm... How weird. Hell''s [Punishment] should have gotten hold of you the moment you entered through the door. I know that disgusting Captain should be able to do something about it, but I didn''t expect that it would be to the point ofplete nullification... Did I underestimate him once again?"


    Ichigo, Uryu, and Chad immediately felt weirded out by his statement. They knew for sure that Szayporro had a way of watching the Human World since he was able to identify Renji''s daughter without actually meeting her, but he didn''t know about Kazui and how his little ritual made them safe from Hell''s [Punishment]?


    They all looked at each other to confirm that they were thinking the same thing but refused to say anything.


    At that moment, they heard Akon''s panicked voice and subsequently, the door closing behind them.


    Upon seeing that, Ichigo, Uryu, and Chad immediately put some distance from each other while pulling out or manifesting their respective weapons and abilities.


    "So it''s a trap all along." Uryu gritted his teeth as his Heilig Bogen extended from his right wrist.


    Chad''s right and left arm became covered by ck and white liquid respectively before they hardened and formed differing armors for each arm, "...Do you think Sitri-san is part of this. After all, she''s the one who hinted that we should directly intercept the enemies before they came out of the doors."


    Szayporro who was intently listening to their conversation suddenly snapped his fingers, "So her name is Sitri, that strange woman with the unknown ability. I can finally hear her name. It''s amazing how she could block Hell''s [Eyes] even though it''s just her name which, honestly, is pointless."


    "Well... From the looks of it, she''s not." Uryu replied to Chad before a certain idea dawned on him, "She''s really amazing being able to stop Hell''s [Punishment]. Thanks to her, we could cross safely."


    Ichigo and Chad looked at him surprised but Uryu ignored them and just intently watched the grin from Szayporro disappear, "...It''s not that disgusting insect?"


    Szayporro started contemting what this all means, ''There''s a big hole in my informationwork.''


    But soon enough, his grin returned to his face, and said, "Kukuku, it doesn''t really matter. It doesn''t change the fact that you people who are ''alive'' can''t set foot in here. No matter how strong that strange woman''s ability to block Hell''s Authority, that can''tst forever, and sooner orter, these chains will take hold of all of you."


    Szayporro swung his arm and the hundreds of Beasts of Hell around him started running and flying toward Ichigo, Uryu, and Chad, "Who knows? Maybe after you''ve epted these chains, we''ll get along very well."


    "That''s the most disgusting thing I''ve heard in a while." Ichigo visibly recoiled when he imagined the possibility. He raised the two ck des he was holding and crossed them, "Getsuga... Juujishou (Moon Fang Cross-Shaped Piercer)" The cross-shaped st of massive energy was the signal for the battle to begin.


    Meanwhile, their conversation was also being ryed to Mayuri who''s making his way to the Human World, "Good thinking, Quincy boy." All this time, the only information they had about their enemies is when they were alive so the fact that Szayporro didn''t know anything about Kazui and Serafall despite iming an all-seeing ability put a smile on his face, "Is it because those with the same or simr power are immune to his [Eyes]?"


    The moment he got out of the Senkaimon and entered the Human World, Mayuri immediately gave out his directive, "To all attack groups. We''ll try to reopen the doors from this side so do your best to stay alive... If you know you''re going to die, inform me too. That way, we''ll be able to prioritize the other doors. Also, if you can kill them, bring their bodies back."


    Most of the attack units shuddered at what they heard from theirmunicator, but once they realized that it was Mayuri who was speaking, they immediately calmed down thinking, ''That''s definitely the morally bankrupt Captain of the 12th Division.'' Even then, there''s no better voice to reassure them than his as all of them believed in his ability to adapt to the situation.

    The moment they heard Mayuri''s voice, the Quincy girls all shuddered and a cold sweat poured down their backs, "Even though he''s the one who''ll be pulling us out from this mess... I still really don''t want to meet him." Meninas muttered while rubbing the goosebumps on her arms.


    "Are you sure there won''t be any hidden fees for his help?" Candice asked nervously as one of the few people who''d experienced Mayuri''s cruelty.


    However, their conversation was immediately interrupted by a prideful but also fed-up voice, "What''s this? A bunch of little girls?"


    The girls turned their attention towards him and saw that the one who spoke just now is a very tall andnky man holding a giant axe-like weapon bearing two crescent moon-shaped des fused together at the backs, with arge looped chain connected to the shaft at the end of the handle.


    They immediately identified who it was since they also had information on the former Arrancars while they were preparing their invasion of Soul Society. However, there was something different from the information they have, "His left arm doesn''t have flesh, leaving only behind a ck skeleton. He also has a pair of horns that he didn''t formerly have." Liltotto murmured.


    "Look at the other one." Giselle pointed at the tall, muscr, and dark-skinned Arrancar with noticeablyrge lips, "Both of his hands don''t have any flesh either. Though his horns are growing from his shoulders."


    "We can assume that everyone who was sent to Hell has this kind of variation to their appearance. Though we don''t really know what that means." The moment they stepped into Hell, Liltotto had been tasting the air around them and was able to confirm that the concentration of Reishi from the surroundings was on the same level as the Human World, ''Unbelievable... This ce is supposed to be the ce of the condemned and individuals with a veryrge amount of Reiryoku, but the environment is like this? To think we''ll immediately be put at a disadvantage... I hope they''re not much stronger than when they were alive.''


    Although they regained some of their strength, it was still a bit far from the time before Yhwach used Auswhlen on them. But while Yhwach''s Letter Empowerment disappeared, the cavity that the ''Letter'' left shaped the power of the Souls and all they had to do was fill this missing gap with their own power and training. They didn''t want to admit it, but they all agreed that this is thest gift they received from Yhwach. It may take a while, but there''s a chance for them to regain their former abilities without relying on a Quincy with a Soul Distribution Power.


    ''Compatibility with our enemy will be our biggest advantage.'' Liltotto thought of a n in her head and immediately issued amand, "Giselle, Bambietta, take on the skinhead. Candice, Meninas, you''ll be with me to deal with this creepy bastard."
