Chapter 1097: Hueco Mundo Under Attack, Hellebel Captured
Chapter 1097: Hueco Mundo Under Attack, Hellebel Captured
Mashaki Kurosaki was very warm and welcoming to Ichigo's friends. After all, while she was in the cultivation tank, Isshin Kurosaki had told her a lot about his son, Ichigo.
While she was proud of her son's growth, Mashaki was also very grateful that Ichigo had so many loyal friends who would stand by him through thick and thin.
"You must be Uryuu. You resemble your mother more than your father. Your father may have kept it a secret, but you should actually call me Aunt, as I'm your father Ryūken Ishida's cousin. And you and Ichigo, you should be considered brothers."
Ichigo and Uryuu: (Д)
Chad and Orihime: (_;
Taken aback by Mashaki's sudden revelation, Ichigo and Uryuu were completely stunned.
At that moment, Ichigo suddenly remembered that when Mashaki had helped him earlier, the techniques she used seemed similar to Uryuu's.
He had been so thrilled and excited that he had forgotten about this.
In other words, Mashaki, his mother, was actually a Quincy?!
But now a question arose. If his mother was a Quincy and had shown such formidable strength, why did she die protecting him from a low-level Hollow nine years ago?
Ichigo was full of doubts, but he knew this wasn't the right time to ask.
When Mashaki mentioned her own mother, Uryuu's face showed a hint of sadness. Like Ichigo, his mother, Ayame Katakura, was very important to him. In fact, his strained relationship with his father, Ryūken Ishida, was because of her.
"Uryuu, do you think my return is just a coincidence? If you go home now, you might find a pleasant surprise."
With Mashaki's playful smile, Uryuu's brain momentarily froze. Realizing what she meant, he looked at Yashio, who was calmly sitting nearby, with disbelief.
When Yashio nodded, Uryuu's shock turned to elation. He immediately bowed deeply to Yashio in gratitude, said, "Excuse me", and rushed home as fast as he could.
If Yashio's memory served him right, Uryuu was one of the main characters in the Thousand-Year Blood War arc. He joined the Vandenreich to avenge his mother, Ayame Katakura, and gained the power of Yhwach's Holy Text.
Now, with Ayame revived, what choice would Uryuu make?
While Yashio was eating cake and pondering how the Thousand-Year Blood War arc would unfold, the group, who had been chatting and laughing at the party, suddenly sensed something. Their faces turned serious almost immediately.
Mashaki quickly scooped up her two daughters, who had no combat ability, and hid them in a corner.
A Black Hole opened in the air, and a little girl wearing a skull mask suddenly dropped from the sky, crashing through Ichigo's roof.
The girl's face lit up with joy when she saw Ichigo. Using her "Hyper Acceleration" ability, she launched a rocket headbutt straight at Ichigo's vital points, sending him flying several meters away!
"Ichigo, Ichigo, Hueco Mundo is in danger. Please help..."
The third Espada, Nell, landed successfully and immediately burst into tears, crying to Ichigo. She wanted him to join her as a bodyguard to return to Hueco Mundo and save the world. However, she soon realized that the Ichigo beneath her was unresponsive, foaming at the mouth.
"Ichigo, what's wrong with you? How did you become so weak? You can't even handle my little girl form anymore."
Watching Nell cry and try to wipe her snot on the unconscious Ichigo, Yashio couldn't help but shudder.
Speed is power, and Nell is as tough as nails. Even a powerful fighter like Yashio would struggle to withstand a fatal blow, let alone Ichigo, who hadn't entered his Spiritual Body Transformation.
Surely, the Kurosaki family wouldn't be left without an heir just after Masaki Kurosaki's resurrection?
Seeing Nell's continuous sobbing, Yashio paid no attention to the foaming-at-the-mouth teenager, knowing that with Orihime's "Reject All" power, Ichigo could easily return to his normal state, even if his body had been completely destroyed.
Of course, physical injuries can be healed, but the psychological trauma and painful memories might not be so easily erased.
"Nell, you said Hueco Mundo was attacked? What exactly happened, and why didn't Hellebel contact me directly?"
When Iba appeared earlier, Yashio had sensed that although he could use Quincy powers, he was a Hollow. Yashio had planned to contact Hellebel tonight to learn about the situation in Hueco Mundo, but he didn't expect Nell to show up and explain the danger.
"A few days ago, a group of Quincies calling themselves the Vandenreich suddenly invaded Hueco Mundo. They demanded our submission and asked us to join them in attacking the Soul Society. Hellebel naturally refused. We then engaged in battle, but their strength was far greater than we imagined. Hellebel was captured after a fierce fight, which is probably why she couldn't contact you.
During my battle with the 'Schutzstaffel,' I was seriously injured and reverted to my current form. It was only with Stark's help that I managed to come to the Real World."
As Nell explained the current situation in Hueco Mundo, Ichigo, revived by Orihime's power, stood up, indignant. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's head to Hueco Mundo right now!"
"Hold on. I'll go to Hueco Mundo with Soi Fon. You and the others should head to the Soul Society first."
"Go to the Soul Society? Why? The danger is in Hueco Mundo, not the Soul Society."
"From the appearance of Iba to Nell's plea for help, don't you think they're trying to lure you to Hueco Mundo on purpose? In any case, I'll handle the situation in Hueco Mundo. You and the others should go to the Soul Society and inform the captains of the Gotei 13 about the enemy's ability to counter and absorb Bankai. They need to be cautious."
Ichigo was about to protest, but he was interrupted by Masaki Kurosaki.
"Go to the Soul Society if I tell you to. How long have you been a Shinigami? Both Yashio and your father have been captain-level Shinigami for over a hundred years. Do you really think your experience surpasses theirs?"
It's true that the former Ichigo Kurosaki was fearless, ready to fight wherever he went. But now, facing the recently resurrected Masaki Kurosaki, he didn't dare to argue. This must be what they call bloodline pressure...
