Chapter 324

At this moment, the hideous ghost mask on Vasto Lorde Ichigo's face had shattered halfway, revealing the pale, bloodless right side of his face.

Even more eye-catching was his Zangetsu, which had snapped!

However, having said that, it was clear that Ulquiorra's state wasn't very good either; clutching his injured arm, he thought to himself:

"This guy's power is truly… if he hadn't lost his reason and fought recklessly, I might have really been…"

"Ichigo!"

At this moment, Rukia and the others quickly arrived, shielding Ichigo Kurosaki in the crater behind them, drawing their swords and staring fixedly at Ulquiorra.

After a brief silence, Ulquiorra's body reverted from his third release state back to his daily form.

Was his stamina reaching its limit?

Or did he have no heart to fight anymore?

The next second, Ulquiorra was seen placing his right hand to his ear, appearing to listen.

After maintaining this posture for a few seconds, Ulquiorra nodded and said in a respectful tone:

"Yes, Lord Aizen."

Immediately, Ulquiorra lowered his right hand, looked directly at Rukia and her group, and said coldly:

"Lord Aizen has already achieved a complete victory, and there is no need for me to remain here any longer."

Hearing these words from Ulquiorra, Rukia, Renji Abarai, and even the calm Byakuya Kuchiki all had their expressions change in shock.

Aizen achieved a complete victory?

Doesn't that mean…

They dared not imagine further.

Ulquiorra raised his hand to open a Garganta and said coldly:

"Tell Ichigo Kurosaki that the outcome will be decided in Soul Society; when the time comes, I will destroy him completely."

Having said this, Ulquiorra stepped into the Garganta.

The passage then slowly closed, as if it had never appeared.

Renji Abarai said in a panic:

"Captain! The Captain-Commander and the others haven't met with disaster, have they?!"

Byakuya Kuchiki, who would usually signal the other to stay calm whenever Renji Abarai was in a panic, was also silent at this moment, clearly unable to maintain his composure.

At this time, Uryu Ishida and Orihime Inoue fell from the canopy.

After landing, Orihime Inoue immediately rushed to Ichigo Kurosaki's side to heal him.

And at this moment, Kisuke Urahara's voice also sounded in everyone's ears.

"Hey hey~ everyone in Hueco Mundo, can you hear me?"

"Mr. Urahara!?"

Rukia and the others were first shocked, then said impatiently:

"How is the situation in the World of the Living? Are the Captain-Commander and the others alright?!"

"…………"

However, the only response they received was Kisuke Urahara's silence.

"Mr. Urahara, answer us quickly!"

Rukia said impatiently.

"The Captain-Commander… has fallen in battle."

Even with Kisuke Urahara's usual happy-go-lucky, unserious personality, his tone at this moment was full of grief and sorrow.

And the four captains and multiple vice-captain-level Shinigami in Hueco Mundo were similarly shocked, as if struck by lightning.

Their Gotei 13, and even the spiritual pillar of the entire Soul Society, had actually…

"Although it took some time, I have finally finished analyzing the structure of the Garganta; I will now transport everyone back to Soul Society."

Kisuke Urahara's voice sounded again:

"There are still a few days before Aizen and the others create the Oken and officially attack Soul Society; during this time, we must come up with countermeasures."

"What can we do in just a few days?"

Renji Abarai was already somewhat desperate.

But these words of his were also what countless viewers around the world wanted to say.

That's right, in just a few days, what can be done?

"Captain Kyoraku has already notified reinforcements."

Kisuke Urahara said in a deep voice:

"The Royal Guard, Division Zero."

Hearing these words, everyone's expressions changed again.

And the screen paused, entering the ending MV.

The barrage was filled with wails:

【I knew this jerk Xu Feng would leave a cliffhanger at the end of every episode】

【Division Zero, sounds so awesome, they wouldn't be stronger than the Captain-Commander, would they?】

【That shouldn't be the case, right? I think at most they are on par, otherwise wouldn't the power levels collapse directly?】

【The updates for the last two weeks have ended with the villain's victory; the tension built up is truly amazing】

【By the way, Ulquiorra's third release and Vasto Lorde Ichigo are really cool to the point of exploding!】

【Xu Feng's design for character appearance and style will never let you down】

【I'm more curious about how they can make up for such a huge gap for the protagonist group in just a few days.】
