The entire Serenity Garden was filled with a chilling atmosphere. Every Shinigami almost subconsciously placed their hands on their Zanpakuto scabbards, while their eyes kept scanning the surrounding environment.
'Where will the enemy...appear from? '
It wasn't just the many Shinigami who were constantly patrolling and guarding all parts of the Serenity Courtyard who had this idea in their minds.
The captains who were sitting in the division buildings, as well as Senju Makoto and Unohana Retsu, who were standing side by side on the top floor of the first division's castle tower, were thinking the same thing.
Moreover, Senju Makoto and Unohana Retsu are even more aware that this will be the beginning!
The beginning of an earth-shaking change in the structure of the entire world, with the war in the Invisible Empire as the trigger, and the beginning of the war that finally drew the high-ranking Soul King Palace and the Zero Squadron into the flames of war.
"Cheng, do you think you will win?" Uozhihua Lie asked calmly.
Senju Cheng looked down at the Jing Ling Ting below and replied.
"We have no reason to lose."
And Uozhihualie's face showed gentleness and elegance, his eyes narrowed slightly and he said with a smile.
"Actually, I don't care whether I win or lose. Even if I die in battle, it's just like falling into hell. On the contrary, it may be a place where I can abandon my reason and fight to my heart's content."
"But, if I fall to hell, would it be too cruel to leave Cheng alone?"
Senshou Makoto was slightly startled, then looked at Uozhihuaretsu and said in surprise. "Teacher, why did you say such unlucky words?"
"I'm just saying this because of my feelings. Almost all of my contemporaries have fallen into hell. Even Your Excellency Yuan Liuze has realized his own powerlessness and chose to retreat bravely. I..."
However, before Uozhihua Lie could finish speaking, Qianju Cheng put his palm on Uozhihua Lie's head with rare force and interrupted.
"Teacher, there is no possibility of you falling into hell alone! Either I will accompany you to hell; or, even if I break through hell, I will definitely bring you back to me."
When Uozhihua Lie heard this, her beautiful eyes that were originally narrowed widened unconsciously...
This is the first time Senju Makoto has expressed his attitude so directly!
And...delightful!
The corners of Uozhihua Lie's mouth couldn't help but curve into a charming smile, but his expression was a bit angry, he slapped Senju Makoto's palm away and said.
"Cheng, are you going too far now? You actually do such a rude and presumptuous thing to your teacher?"
However, Senju Makoto couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he looked at Retsu Unohana, who was dignified and elegant and tried hard to maintain his dignified status as a teacher, but also unconsciously exuded the aura of a mature woman all over his body.
In a sense, Unohana Retsu is the perfect partner Senju Makoto expected!
Whether externally or internally...
Whether it's up or down...
These two years have been the happiest days Senju Cheng has lived in almost a century.
The next moment, the fire that unconsciously rose in Senju Cheng's eyes was suppressed, replaced by determination and seriousness.
Be prepared for danger in times of peace!
Senju Makoto has never forgotten or relaxed the threat from the Ichibei of the main military department. It is not the peace that can be obtained by simply retreating or avoiding.
so……
Senju Makoto ignored Unohana Retsu's reserve and hugged Unohana Retsu, who was wearing captain Haori, into his arms, and said calmly and firmly.
"Teacher, please feel at ease."
"Um."
Being treated so rudely in broad daylight, Unohana Retsu's reserve instinctively resisted, but as if sensing Senju Makoto's emotional changes, Unohana Retsu finally chose to obediently stick to Senju Makoto's chest. On the chest.
Senshou Makoto felt the warmth and softness in his arms, his eyes softened a bit unconsciously, and he raised his hands to hug Uozukaretsu's back.
However, before Qianju Cheng could enjoy this moment of warmth with peace of mind, blue spiritual fire pillars suddenly lit up all over the Jingling Court.
Strange spiritual pressure came out from those blue spiritual fire pillars.
"coming!"
Countless Death Gods had this thought flashing through their minds almost at the same time.
…
at the same time.
In this world, Karakura Town.
When the pillars of spirit fire appeared on a large scale throughout the Jingling Court, Mako Hirako, who had been staying in the present world, frowned and blurted out.
"The target of the Invisible Empire's attack is indeed the Jingling Court!"
"It seems that Vice Captain Senju's worries are unnecessary. I wonder if Yhwach's target may also be Karakura Town, and try to destroy the King of Creation of Karakura Town like Sosuke Aizen did." Hobashiro Juro said.
"However, this also shows that the enemy is even more arrogant and arrogant than Sosuke Aizen. Is he confident that he can defeat the Gotei 13th Division in one fell swoop?" Hirako Mako said through gritted teeth.
Hiyori Sarugaki watched Hirako Mako and Hobashiro Juro analyze each other sentence by sentence, and couldn't help but urge.
"Stop talking so much nonsense here, let's quickly support Jinglingting! Idiot!"
However, Hirako Mako shook his head and spoke calmly. "The task assigned to us by Vice Captain Qianju is not only to wait for an opportunity to return to Jinglingting, but also to wait for someone!"
"Waiting for someone? Who?" Hiyori Sarugaki asked subconsciously.
"Kurosaki Ichigo." Hirako Mako replied.
"ha?!"
Hearing this, Hiyori Sarugaki suddenly realized, and said with full doubt on his face.
"That guy Kurosaki Ichigo should be considered a Quincy now. Our enemy is the Star Cross Knights led by the Quincy King Yhwach. Is Kurosaki Ichigo really reliable?"
Not only Hiyori Sarugaki feels this way, but even Hirako Mako may not have this idea in her heart.
The war between the Gotei 13th Division and the Knights of the Holy Cross is undoubtedly closer to a war between different races.
According to common sense, from the perspective of a Quincy, it is only in the interests of the Quincy that Yhwach wins. Therefore, as a Quincy, Kurosaki Ichigo has no reason to help Gotei 13. Team.
"This is an order from Vice Captain Senju."
And with Hobashiro Juro's words, all of Sarugaki Hiyori's doubts and dissatisfaction were instantly suppressed.
However, Hobashiro Juro felt the passage of time, and Kurosaki Ichigo was still missing, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, and said.
"By the way, Hirako, did you really inform Ichigo Kurosaki? He won't come, right?"
"I informed him four days ago, and Ichigo Kurosaki's reaction was quite exciting. He wanted to go to the Serenity Pavilion on the spot. In the end, I appeased him and agreed to meet here today."
Hirako Mako said calmly, but her eyes... gradually became more suspicious.
Kurosaki Ichigo has not appeared for a long time. Is it possible that Kurosaki Ichigo really quietly fell to the side of the Invisible Empire?
