Chapter 145 A Crazy Attempt
Upon hearing Akin's report, Mayuri extended his sharp fingernails and slid them across the screen.
As he carefully examined the document, his gaze became increasingly profound.
"Hmph... This frequency... it's almost like something is constantly gnawing at the surface of the world, causing the 'walls' there to thin out."
"Could it be a riot in Hueco Mundo? Or is it the work of those remaining Quincy?" one researcher speculated.
"To be more precise, as scientists we need evidence; we don't need to voice those pointless assumptions."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi snorted coldly, his gaze fixed on the constantly fluctuating red dot next to the hill of Tsubasa.
There was a very faint signal with an unusual wavelength.
That signal did not belong to the Grim Reaper, nor to Hollows, nor to humans.
"Three anomalies in one month... It seems the barriers of the mortal world are being disrupted by some kind of alien force..." Mayuri Kurotsuchi suddenly let out a chilling chuckle, pressing his long purple fingernails against his chin.
"Interesting things are happening in places I don't know about..."
"Chief, what are you planning to do..." Ah Jin looked at his captain with a headache. Usually, when his captain had this kind of expression, it was never a good thing.
"Pass down the order to prepare to cross the boundary gate."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi turned around and gave the members of the Technology Bureau a gloomy look: "I'm going to the real world myself."
"But Captain Shiba has only been missing for a short time, and Captain-Commander Yamamoto..."
"I will submit a report on the investigation into the imbalance of spiritual pressure in the present world. Although that old man is stubborn, he has no reason to refuse my professional advice on matters concerning the stability of the world."
As he spoke, Mayuri Kurotsuchi stopped and turned to look at the constantly flashing map.
"I hope the materials at Zhangzhi Hill won't have spoiled by the time I get there."
At this time, at the Hill of Ta Zhang.
The bird's figure was tumbling out of the huge footprint pit in the Great Void.
It was a monster that stood like a mountain.
A jet-black cloak-like body, a pale white long-nosed mask, and huge eyes that flashed with a ferocious red light in the darkness—this was a Gillian-class Hollow.
-
Although the Kylian in front of me looks clumsy, it is actually very fast.
The spiritual pressure field emanating from its body made Asuka's movements increasingly heavy.
"Damn it... how did I run into a Hollow? Did that swindler Urahara cheat me?"
He knelt on one knee amidst the pile of rocks, breathing heavily.
The tiger's mouth was already split open, and warm blood slid down the handle of the knife.
He had just tried to sever the Hollow's ankle, but was injured by the absolute defense called Steel Skin.
The longsword struck the iron pillar as if it had crashed into it; apart from sparks flying, it caused no damage whatsoever.
"Amitabha Pill! Think of something!"
"Young Master Ye, I am merely a samurai... I have truly never handled such a situation before!"
"Things will work themselves out!"
A weak shout came from not far away from Asakura Yona.
Whenever Kylian's giant foot landed, Yoh Asakura always managed to dodge it by the hair's breadth with a comical gesture, such as rolling like a lazy donkey or twisting strangely.
The seemingly weak boy was now sweating profusely as he dodged attacks and swung the wooden stick.
"Amitabha, please!" The wooden stick in Yoh Asakura's hand glowed faintly.
"drink!"
A pale blue sword aura slashed at the Hollow's mask.
However, for Kylian, this was probably equivalent to being bitten by a mosquito.
"Aren't you leaving yet, Yoh Asakura!" Asuka straightened up and sternly addressed the disheveled boy, "Your spiritual power and your samurai skills are useless against this monster!"
"How can you know the answer to something like this until the very end?"
Asakura Yoh gasped for breath, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Besides, if I were to leave Asuka-san here and run away, I'd have nightmares every night."
"Incomprehensible." Asuka was speechless for a moment, and could only help Yoh Asakura split open a rock that had been thrown by the moving Gillian.
What can be done... what can be done to turn the situation around...?
In the shadows hundreds of meters away, the hilt of Hong Ji's sword trembled slightly.
-
"Kisuke, aren't you going to make a move?" Yoruichi Shihouin crouched on a tree branch, her body tense, like a black panther ready to pounce at any moment.
Her gaze was fixed on Asuka, who was being suppressed by the Great Hollow, her eyes filled with anxiety.
"That's a Kyrian. Even the lowest-ranking Hollow is no different from a god to him now."
"I know, Yoruichi-san, the reason I sent out those spirit-summoning talismans was to lure out this Gillian..."
"6
Kisuke Urahara leaned against a tree trunk, his hat pulled low, the shadow obscuring his expression: "But...it's still a little short."
"Without sufficient pressure, that door will never open."
"And did you see that boy wielding the wooden stick and branch? That's not a Shinigami... nor a Quincy... he's fighting with a power we don't understand... what is this...?"
"What if he dies?!" Yoruichi turned her head, a hint of anger in her voice. "Kisuke, we're not like Aizen. We can't just stand by and watch Asuka go to his death!"
"So I'm ready."
Kisuke Urahara raised his head, revealing a cold, gleaming eye: "My hand is already on Benihime. If that Hollow threatens their lives, I will deal with it immediately."
"But if that's the case, then this stress test has completely failed... and he might become mediocre as a result."
Yoruichi fell silent.
She looked back at the battlefield, gritted her teeth, and her nails dug deep into the tree bark.
At the heart of the battlefield, the situation had deteriorated to an extreme degree.
Kylian seemed to have finally lost his last bit of patience with the two little monkeys jumping around.
It stopped its slow movement, its chest began to heave violently, and the surrounding spiritual particles frantically converged into its gaping maw.
A crimson light shone from the tip of the mask.
That's—a Cero!
"Oh no!"
Yoh Asakura's face turned deathly pale. He could feel the destructive power contained in that attack, an energy level that he couldn't comprehend at his current level.
"Ye! Get out of the way!" Amida Maru shouted in his mind.
However, Gillian's spiritual pressure lock made Yoh Asakura's movements extremely stiff, like a frog being stared at by a snake.
"Damn it..." Asuka stared intently at the red light.
Is this the end of it?
No, that's not right.
Asuka's gaze fell on Yoh Asakura.
The warrior inside him was a soul that refused to leave after death.
Yoh Asakura, on the other hand, used a special method to superimpose the power of that soul onto himself.
He heard it; Yoh Asakura called it "possession and fusion".
Possession...fusion...
A crazy, audacious, even suicidal idea exploded in Asuka's mind.
"Hey! Yoh Asakura!"
Asuka suddenly unleashed all her strength and charged towards Yoh Asakura, grabbing the boy's collar before the Cero could fully materialize.
"Listen! If you don't want to die, do as I say!"
"?! Mr. Asuka?" Yoh Asakura was startled.
Asuka's eyes held a madness, the look of a gambler in dire straits: "You can sense my soul, can't you!"
Yoh Asakura paused for a moment, then nodded subconsciously: "Yeah, it feels a bit strange, but Mr. Asuka's soul is indeed..."
'
"Then pull it out!"
The sound of birds boomed like thunder in Asakura Yoh's ears.
Yoh Asakura's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, and he even temporarily forgot his fear.
In the world of psychics, the soul and body are one; forcibly separating them means the end of life.
"What...what did you say? That can kill people! While psychics can guide souls, forcibly extracting the soul of a living person is murder!"
"But I'm not alive!" Asuka exclaimed, pressing her hands tightly against Yoh Asakura's shoulders. "There's no time to explain! I'm already a wandering spirit who has died once!"
"Just like you manipulated Amida Maru earlier, detach my soul from this body, and then... possess you!"
"But..." Yoh Asakura hesitated.
This was completely beyond his comprehension.
"No time to waste! That monster's attack is coming!"
The bird pointed at Kylian, whose red Cero had expanded to its limit, and the surrounding space was even distorted due to the high temperature.
"Asakura Yoh! Didn't you say there would always be a way? Well, this is the only way!"
The bird stared into his eyes and said, slowly and deliberately, "Believe me, I understand the rules of the dead better than you do. Only by extracting my soul can my true self be freed!"
far away.
Kisuke Urahara's expression changed.
"What is he doing? This madman!!"
