Chapter 378 Invisible Empire
Aizen really didn't expect that Lu Li would suddenly bring out such a thing. After Lu Li told him about the Spirit King's situation, he started to look for it.
But how could it be that the Spirit King's body tissue was so easy to find? He mobilized all kinds of powers, but he had no clue. He had been prepared to search for it for more than a hundred years, but Lu Li suddenly took out the fingertips of the Spirit King.
"Soyousuke, do you still remember the Quincy I fought against before?"
Lu Li explained, "After I defeated him, I found an object from him. I didn't know what it was for at the time, but after I returned to Soul Society, I took it out and accidentally discovered that it kept flickering, like... Like radar."
Lu Li said, taking out the Spirit King component radar that Mandala gave him and placing it on the table.
It would be difficult for him to explain the origin of this thing, so he might as well leave it to the Soul Singer. Anyway, as a Quincy, it's not surprising that he has such a thing.
"Oh? It seems that the skills of the Quincy cannot be underestimated."
Aizen thought thoughtfully after taking over the device. He was a technician, so he could see the ingenious design of this thing.
Not only does it contain some elements of future technology, but it also incorporates ghost ways and a hint of the Spirit King's power. Using the Spirit King's power as a guide to conduct searches, the ability to pull each other can lock in some of the Spirit King's body tissues that are not too far away.
It can be said that this is completely an invention that transcends the times. It cannot be made with the current technology of the gods of death. Even if he gets the prototype now, it will be difficult to copy it.
Thinking back to the previous Quincy wars, the star badges used by the Quincy could also capture the Death God's Swastika. It can only be said that their technical level exceeded the Death God's imagination.
What makes people feel strange is that the Quincies in this world are traditional and conservative, and it is difficult to have a good development environment in this world. How do they make these things?
"Soyousuke is wondering about the technical level of this thing?"
Lu Li seemed to understand Aizen's thoughts and said.
Aizen nodded, "I don't think the current Quincy can make these things. If you want to develop these high-tech things, you must have cutting-edge instruments and a reserve of researchers, as well as innovative power. These These are things that the Quincy in this world don’t possess.”
"As expected of Soyousuke, you easily analyzed the truth."
Lu Li smiled and said, "These things were not made by the Quincies who attacked us, but were developed by the Quincies of the Invisible Empire."
Lu Li incidentally told the Invisible Empire the origin of the Soul King component radar. Anyway, the other party probably had similar means of finding Soul King components, otherwise Yhwach's army would not be able to gather so many talents with the Soul King's body parts.
"Invisible Empire..."
Aizen chewed the word, "I once secretly sneaked into the Great Spirit Book Corridor once. When I checked the information inside, I saw that the country of the Quincy eight hundred years ago was called the Empire of Light. The so-called invisible empire was theirs. Descendants?"
"You are really brave... The Tsunayashiro family is guarding the Great Soul Book Corridor. There are many experts there."
Lu Li said with emotion, since So Yousuke said it was in the past, it meant that within seventy years, the opponent was not very strong back then.
"It's just a helpless move to get some information. Mr. Lu hasn't answered my question yet."
Aizen asked curiously. He had already discovered that although Lu Jun didn't look very smart, he could always master some advanced intelligence from unknown sources.
"It's a bit inaccurate to say that they are descendants. After all, the master of the empire has not iterated. Eight hundred years ago, Mr. Yamamoto led the original Gotei 13 in a bloody battle with the king of the Empire of Light. Although they won in the end, they did not really succeed. Kill the master of the Empire of Light."
Lu Li explained, "Yhwach is actually still alive, and his tribe took him to lurk. Therefore, the Empire of Light turned into an invisible empire. They only wait for their ancestor Yhwach to revive, and they will start a war again." "
Aizen was not very surprised after hearing this. Compared to ordinary Shinigami, he knew many old things because he had visited the Great Spirit Book Corridor.
He also knew about the battle eight hundred years ago, but in historical records, the victory of the Gotei 13 and the achievements of Captain Yamamoto were exaggerated in large sections, but there was not much detail about what happened to the Quincy afterwards. .
Including the whereabouts of Yhwach and the life and death of his remaining tribesmen, there is no record.
It is conceivable that the victory of Death in that battle was not glorious, nor was it comprehensive. It was just the winner and the loser. Of course, history books will exaggerate the power and justice of Death's side in a large space.
If we look at this war from an objective point of view and the common sense of the world, perhaps the Quincy side holds the true righteousness.
The true situation of the battle may be that Yhwach was not completely defeated, and even his core troops were intact and retreated in a planned and organized manner.
For eight hundred years, the gods of death have not even learned about this period of history in textbooks. Apparently, the Forty-Six Central Chambers and the high-ranking nobles are quite taboo about this matter.
And after so many years, even though Death has been the winner of that year's war, it has not significantly reduced the Quincy's power. It has even evolved into the battle a few days ago, which fully shows that Death's response to the Quincy after the war was The Queshi camp still has a certain amount of fear.
So what are the gods of death afraid of? Maybe if they ask Captain Yamamoto, they can get a clear answer.
Aizen believes that the most likely possibility is that not only is Yhwach not dead, but he may return at any time, and the high-level strength of the Quincy army has never been compromised.
Hearing Lu Li's words at this time, he confirmed his suspicion, but he couldn't figure out where the invisible empire would be hidden.
"Lu Jun said that Yhwach will be resurrected, so where is the Invisible Empire dormant now?"
Aizen asked naturally. There was no reason. He just intuitively believed that Lu Li actually knew the answer to this matter.
Hearing this, Lu Li pointed to his feet, "It's within the Seireitei. I don't know how they did it, but they are hiding in the shadow of the Seireitei, so they call themselves the Invisible Empire."
Aizen was surprised for a moment after hearing this answer, but he quickly accepted the fact. After pondering for a moment, he said: "So, wouldn't they be able to monitor every move of the Shinigami in the Seireitei? They can even invade and attack here at any time. ?”
"That's it. They probably watched the whole battle in the shadows a few days ago. They just didn't take action and just sat back and watched the traditional and old Quincy in this world die."
Lu Li said and complained, "Speaking of which, why don't the Shinigami find it strange? There were obviously not many Quincy before they came to this world, but in recent years a large number of them have suddenly emerged, hunting the Hollows crazily. No one thinks about where they came from. Are you here?"
"What Lu Jun said is true..."
Aizen thought, "The large number of Quincy's is an abnormal phenomenon. In other words, they actually came out of the Invisible Empire. Why? The Quincy are also engaging in internal strife?"
He doesn't like asking other people questions, because the answers he gets from other people often may not be true.
But facing the man in front of him, he felt that it was okay to use the answer he gave as a reference.
"It's not an internal fight, it's just a difference of opinion. Do you still remember Cantot who fought against me? The form he showed after entering Hueco Mundo, the spiritual pressure Soyousuke should have felt, it is different from The state after taking off the spirit-dispersing gloves can be used without much cost, and it is called the perfect holy body by the Quincy."
Lu Li explained, "Those Quincy who came to the present world did not want to accept this new technology and had a conflict of opinion with the mainstream of the Invisible Empire, so they left the Invisible Empire and went to the present world."
"A traditional Quincy... stupid but with admirable persistence."
Aizen also sighed with emotion. He probably understood why those Quincy were unwilling to accept the Holy Body. From the perspective of the long-term development of the group, the traditional Quincy was right.
But if you look at it purely from the perspective of a war, the Holy Body is obviously an excellent technology. After all, it can allow the Quincy to gain powerful power without much training, which is much more profitable than traditional high-risk methods.
The only thing those traditional Quincy did wrong was that they were not restrained in this world, showed off their power, and frequently hunted Hollows, which intensified the conflict between them and the God of Death.
It's not that the Shinigami didn't want to control the Quincy over the years, it's just that most of the Quincy disappeared after the battle eight hundred years ago. The sudden appearance of a large number of Quincy this time has become a target.
Maintaining the balance of the Three Realms, I'm afraid only Captain Yamamoto among the senior officials thinks so. No matter how dishonest these Quincy are, Central Room 46 will not let them live.
After all, there are too many Quincies in this group, and such a scale cannot be controlled at all. Once they are determined to start a war, they will pose a threat to Soul Society, just like they did a few days ago.
Therefore, this battle is unavoidable from the beginning and will definitely be fought.
From the perspective of the God of Death, the current result is certainly a good thing. Even if Mr. Lu doesn't say anything today, as time goes by, the God of Death will slowly come around and realize the origin of these Quincy. .
At that time, the hidden advantage of the invisible empire will gradually disappear, but it is difficult for the gods of death to guess that the invisible empire is under their feet.
"Even as we are talking now, we may be monitored by them, so recently I only talk to Soyousuke about sensitive topics after using my spiritual pressure to shield me in the house."
Lu Li said, "After all, I performed very well in the previous battle. They should want to collect information about me. So Yousuke, you should also be targeted."
The so-called special combat power was determined by the Invisible Empire through long-term observation. Lu Li didn't know if he was on this list now, but he was definitely under observation.
"You can show them if you want to, but having said that, since Lu Jun knows this, why don't you tell the captain and let him destroy the invisible empire?"
Aizen asked with a smile.
Lu Li spread his hands and said, "The captain will first ask me why I know these things. I can't explain it. He has such an upright character. It's not like you don't know about it, Soyousuke."
It wasn't because Lu Li was thinking about coming back next time to break through the world in person and leave some luck, but it was because Team Zero had a subtle stance regarding Yhwach's invisible empire.
If Ichibei, the military commander, is willing to take action now, he may be able to kill Yhwach in his dormant state, and world harmonizers like Hathwater will not be his opponent.
But if it were the commander-in-chief who took action, not to mention that Lu Li still didn't know how to attack the invisible empire in the shadows. Even if he could break in, the commander-in-chief might not be able to crush everything.
This is under the premise that the Technology Development Bureau can first come up with a medicine to prevent the swastika from being captured. If the swastika is also captured, then the captain may not be able to defeat Hasward without the swastika.
In addition, since Lu Li could not explain the source of the intelligence to avoid more trouble, he should rest assured and secretly develop with Aizen. Anyway, he has the world positioning props obtained from Nilu's mission, and he can come back at any time when he becomes stronger. .
"Mr. Yamamoto is really scary. When I think about facing him in the future, I have a headache. I can only think of some countermeasures first."
Aizen said with a smile, "The Quincy's Star Medal gave me inspiration. If I could seal the Captain's Blade Wakahu, it might be much easier to deal with."
"Soyousuke, you can't kill the old man, he is kind to me."
Lu Li emphasized.
"Lu Jun will really make things difficult for me, but since you said so, I'll leave this matter to you to solve when the time comes."
Aizen said helplessly that in his plan list, there were actually many Shinigami captains that he was not prepared to move.
Even if he wants to 'rebel' in the future, he will spare the lives of those captains after defeating them, but only the captain can't easily say the words to spare his life.
After all, the title of the strongest Death God in thousands of years is not for nothing. Even if he reaches the peak of his attack power, it is probably impossible for him to withstand it head-on.
Moreover, complete hypnosis is actually not effective at all against Ryūren Wakahu. As long as the captain has no scruples and has the consciousness to directly activate the AOE throughout the map, no matter how he hypnotizes him, it will be useless.
Aizen picked up the container with the Soul King's fingertips sealed on the table, played with it and observed, "The Quincy's radar can find the body of the Soul King, which means they are also collecting it. According to my speculation, the Quincy, the Quincy, The founder of Quincy is probably related to the Spirit King, or in other words, all Quincy are related to the Spirit King."
Lu Li was a little surprised when he heard this, "How did you come to this conclusion?"
As someone who has read the comics, he certainly knows that Yhwach is the largest part of the Soul King. He also calls himself the Son of the Soul King, and there are many people in the Quincy Legion who have parts of the Soul King, such as arms and hearts. wait.
But Lu Li didn't notice that the Quincy as a whole had anything to do with the Soul King. Didn't they just rely on the power of the Soul King's body?
