Chapter 157 Huge explosion

It was time for them to venture to Hueco Mundo.

Soifon looked at Ichigo. She was very worried about his safety but she knew that he would be fine.

She knew about him having so many bloodlines in him. Hollow was one of them and it didn't make her love him less.

"Come back safely, If you die there I swear that I will come after you through hell and kill you myself."

Ichigo heard her clearly. Her Tsundere tendency would never disappear.

"I won't, I will come back in one piece I promise."

Soifon then did something that no one thought she would do right there.

She grabbed his collar then pulled him close and gave him a searing and steaming kiss.

"Wow"

Miyako and the new member who would be in his team Rangiku exclaimed.

They then secretly looked at each other and nodded.

Miyako and Rangiku knew each other because they were members of the Shinigami women's association.

That's why they teamed up with each other and because Miyako was his aunt so he would take care of her. Thus they became a team.

After the hot kiss, Soifon then pushed Ichigo away and licked her lip.

"Now that you have to go. I will also have a lot of work to do."

Soifon made an excuse before she escaped with Shunpo. She couldn't stay there for one second as her dere mode would come out and her prestige as a captain would be reduced to dust.

Ichigo chuckled at how cute she was. He would be very lonely without her by his side.

But he couldn't do anything as the duty call.

"Let's go, we can't let Sosuke-taicho wait for too long."

Ichigo was in third seated level. The same level as Miyako and Rangiku but in this expedition. His position was higher than theirs so they needed to listen to him.

They then went to the garganta that Aizen had created then went inside.

…

Ichigo had come to Hueco Mundo once but this time he came as a shinigami rather than a hollow one.

He couldn't feel any rejection like the other Shinigami but he needed to act.

He immediately used the device that Aizen had given him and created a place where Shinigami would not be rejected by the world.

"This place is really depressing."

Rangiku said as she touched the white sand. It reminded her of her Shikai.

"Yes, I felt like I would be lost in it and would never be able to return."

Miyako felt suffocating just by looking at the endless sand.

Ichigo didn't comment as he could feel the longing from White.

He was silent for a while after they had come out of Hueco Mundo.

"Gather here, I have something to tell you."

Aizen spoke to everyone. He was very calm. This should be the first time he came here but it was like he had come to this place before.

"As you can see, We would be rejected by this world if it wasn't for the device I gave you all. From now on we will proceed as planned."

Aizen had explained his plan to everyone but it was too complex for them so he would keep it short and let them follow his lead bit by bit.

"Kurosaki-Sanbanme please come here. I will tell you all of my plans as I could see that only you truly understand my plan."

Aizen smiled gently at Ichigo. He looked like a friendly senior but Ichigo could tell that it was just a facade.

He was someone who could kill you when he looked so harmless.

"Yes"

Ichigo didn't want to have a problem with someone like him so he would follow his lead.

Of course it would be within a reasonable boundary.

Aizen then told him what he should do for now.

"You and your team should go and do some scout work. I trust you that Yoruichi and Soifon-taicho had trained you as Onmitsukitdo enough."

Ichigo nodded. Aizen knew his general ability so the scout work given to him was within a reasonable boundary.

"Yes, I will go now."

Ichigo had a map. Sadao had given it to him and it was detailed enough for him to understand and make a new version from it.

"How could you be so good with everything? You could even draw a map like an expert!"

Rangiku was impressed. And Miyako too.

"I feel very useless now."

Miyako said and sighed. She was now a burden than helpful.

"Don't be like that. You also contribute greatly just by being near."

Miyako's shikai state could help them hide their presence from Hollow.

Aizen's device could only help them not being rejected from the hollow world.

"This should be enough for now let–"

*Boom*

Ichigo was about to tell them about going back as he had finished drawing a map but suddenly a huge explosion happened near them.

It was a greenish explosion that shook the earth and cleaned the sky of clouds.

Ichigo, Miyako, and Rangiku looked at the explosion.

"This much power–it rivals captain level!"

Rangiku was shocked. She didn't think that Hueco Mundo could be such a dangerous place.

"You two go back and inform Sosuke-taicho. He must already know about it but just in case."

"What about you?"

"I will go there to observe a little."

"But–"

Ichigo knew that they would stop him as it was too dangerous. But that for them, not for him.

Ichigo used Shunpo and disappeared into the horizon. He went straight to the place where the huge explosion was.
