413 Chapter 410: Going to Hueco Mundo... eh?

"First, create a portal for me; I need to deal with Aizen," Fang Mo directly said to Urahara Kisuke: "I can't wait any longer."

"You're in quite a hurry, aren't you?"

Hearing Fang Mo's words, Urahara Kisuke also looked a bit puzzled: "Aizen is very strong, and although he might not be your opponent, now that he has defected to Hueco Mundo... I suppose he has gathered quite a few powerful Hollows under his command. Are you planning to rush in alone?"

"I'm short on time," Fang Mo didn't hide his urgency and spread his hands, saying: "I have a friend's funeral to attend soon, and I probably won't be around here by then. So, I need to take the Hōgyoku before that."

"Ah? Did a friend of yours pass away?"

Urahara Kisuke immediately said: "Hmm... please accept my condolences. But, that said, couldn't you just wait until after this matter is resolved to take the Hōgyoku?"

"That won't work. The journey is too far," Fang Mo shook his head and said: "If I wait until I come back, who knows where the Hōgyoku might end up. Plus... I might run into those guys from the Wandenreich, which would only complicate things further."

"The Wandenreich? What's that?"

Urahara Kisuke was taken aback, as this was something he hadn't heard of before.

"That's, of course, the number one dutiful son of the Soul Society, colloquially known as Little Arthas, who killed his own father with a single stab," Fang Mo straightforwardly explained: "This bunch of so-called dutiful sons are almost all villains, don't you know?"

"Dutiful sons? Villains?"

Urahara Kisuke was indeed a bit confused: "I understand both words, but putting them together... sorry, I really can't make the connection."

"Then you haven't read enough manga."

Fang Mo said cheerfully: "If you read more about this stuff, you'd understand. These villains are often great 'sons.'"

Indeed, Fang Mo was not wrong.

Looking at the three long-running hot-blooded manga series, these major villains really are a bunch of 'sons'.

On the side of the Soul Society, the villain is the son of the Spirit King, Yhwach, who killed his own father, the Spirit King, with a single thrust. In Naruto, the villain is Kaguya's son, Black Zetsu, who manipulated his own mother, leading to them both being sealed.

As for One Piece, Fang Mo didn't know much, but he was aware that the villain was Whitebeard's adopted son, namely Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach.

During the Summit War, he took his own father's life, as well as his Devil Fruit powers.

It sounds absurd, but... surprisingly, all of it is true, so Fang Mo also couldn't understand what the authors were thinking. It seems like these mangas describe world-class crises, but upon closer inspection, they seem to be nothing more than family dramas.

"Read manga?"

After listening, Urahara Kisuke was also a bit puzzled: "Is there a connection?"

"You'll know eventually."

Fang Mo now couldn't bother explaining too much to Urahara Kisuke, directly urging, "Just hurry up and create a portal for me. You probably want me to leave as well, right? I'll just take the Hogyoku and go."

"Are you saying…"

Urahara Kisuke recalled the information provided by Yoruichi: "After obtaining the Hogyoku, you will leave this world? You're really not from this world?"

"Otherwise?" Fang Mo retorted: "Do you think a human can kill the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13 with a single slash?"

"…I'll go open the Garganta right now."

Upon hearing this, Urahara Kisuke immediately stood up and walked towards a room.

Seeing this, Fang Mo also took the initiative to follow, and of course, Yoruichi did not fall behind. Soon, the three of them arrived at an underground chamber.

However, calling it an underground chamber, the space around was very open, there was even a fake sky, but the ground was rather barren, with only some rugged rocks and soil, making it feel like a testing ground or some secret space for training.

"How about it, my basement is huge, isn't it?"

After coming down, Urahara Kisuke also cheerfully said to Fang Mo: "By the way, that space inside the Seireitei is also my work, pretty impressive, right?"

"Impressive? Just this?"

Fang Mo calmly looked at Urahara Kisuke. He had seen similar spaces in the Seireitei before, like the place where Ichigo Kurosaki trained his Bankai. At that time, he even took a hot spring bath with Yoruichi, so he directly said: "My basement is about 3.79×10 square kilometers big, have I ever bragged to you about it?"

"Ahaha, isn't that a bit too exaggerated?"

Urahara Kisuke burst into laughter after hearing this, clearly not believing what Fang Mo said: "In that case, wouldn't the entire moon be your basement?"

"I can take you on a tour later."

Fang Mo waved his hand: "For now, can we hurry up with the portal?"

"Alright, alright."

Urahara Kisuke shrugged his shoulders, then slowly walked to a stone doorway: "You really are in a hurry, but this isn't something that can be done just like that."

"This door… such a strong sense of déjà vu."

Of course, Fang Mo also saw the stone-made door and couldn't help but comment.

Yes, the frame of this portal indeed looks very familiar to him.

Because it closely resembles the Nether Portal from Minecraft, with its sharply defined frame. Fang Mo even felt tempted to right-click it with a flint and steel, just to try it out. However, unlike obsidian, this object's surface was wrapped in various white talismans.

"Hmm? Are you interested in this?"

Urahara Kisuke glanced at Fang Mo, then said, "However, this is a gateway to the Soul Society, not useful if you're heading to Hueco Mundo."

"Is that so?"

Fang Mo nodded. He had watched the Shinigami anime for too long and had forgotten some details: "Which one goes to Hueco Mundo?"

"You can go directly there, with the use of a Kūkanten'i."

As Urahara Kisuke spoke, he took out a small device and started fiddling with it: "First, we need to adjust the parameters a bit... By the way, can you answer a question for me?"

"If you're asking about Yoruichi, I've only ever petted her in her cat form."

Fang Mo patted Urahara Kisuke's shoulder sincerely, "Don't worry, brother. I am a true warrior of pure love. Even though you've been dropping hints with that green hat, I definitely won't tease you about it."

"...That's not what I wanted to ask!"

Upon hearing this, Urahara Kisuke's expression darkened once again.

"Ah, it's not?"

Fang Mo feigned surprise, "Sorry, then. I misunderstood you."

"What I wanted to ask is..." Urahara Kisuke didn't dwell on that, but squinted at Fang Mo: "Why do you know so much about us?"

"That depends on how you understand it."

Fang Mo spread his hands: "High-dimensional observation, timeline extrapolation, predicting the future, anything goes. Of course, I won't boast about being omniscient and omnipotent... because I have inherited my ancestors' fine virtues—humility, tolerance, and respect for the elderly and love for the young."

"So..."

Urahara Kisuke opened his mouth to speak, but before he could finish, Fang Mo suddenly said: "However, since I am the oldest and most powerful dimensional demon, being the oldest existence in this world, you'd better show me some respect. Also, I can turn into a little girl..."

"Is that how you use these fine virtues?"

As Yoruichi approached from a distance, she couldn't help but start criticizing upon hearing this, "Aren't you just forcing others to respect and love you?"

"Is that not allowed?"

Fang Mo spread his hands and said, "Have you seen my attitude? I'm clearly so adorable..."

"You do look adorable, but your personality is like a cunning little devil with a wicked sense of humor."

Yoruichi recalled and said, "If you really respected and loved the elderly and the young, you wouldn't have injured the Captain-Commander like that. Do you know what the attitude of the Soul Society is towards you now?"

"Could it be... just by shouting my name, it can stop babies from crying at night?"

Fang Mo pondered and stroked his chin, "If that's the case, it would be pretty good. I remember that a woman named Hinamori Momo is always crying. How about you record my name and play it in a loop for 24 hours like the Great Compassion Mantra for her, maybe it can cure her of her 'licking dog' disease."

"Act like a human, will you?"

After listening, Yoruichi wiped her face, "You're already the greatest disaster in history, you know? We put so much effort into barely saving the Captain-Commander, and he's still bedridden. The Central 46 Chambers also see you as a major threat, and currently, your level of danger is even ranked above Aizen's, being called the Spiritless Catastrophe."

"What a ridiculous name."

Fang Mo immediately cursed upon hearing this, "The world of Shinigami is supposed to be about competing in fashion, and these scoundrels gave me such a rustic name, damn it, I can't stand it, I'll punch the Central 64 Chambers to smithereens!"

"It's the Central 46 Chambers."

Urahara Kisuke, who was nearby, reminded him.

"No problem, I'll just kill eighteen more chambers." Fang Mo waved his hand and said, "Didn't Aizen kill them before? How come they are back? Are these guys immortal?"

"The Central 46 Chambers were established by the nobles of the Soul Society."

Yoruichi began to explain, "Aizen did kill them, but each family just needs to select another batch of representatives, right?"

"Got it, when cutting weeds, you need to remove the roots."

Fang Mo nodded and said directly, "I'll go exterminate the nobles of the Soul Society then. Urahara Kisuke, don't start talking, first create a portal to the Soul Society for me, watch me slaughter my way through..."

"Wait for me."

Yoruichi immediately grabbed Fang Mo's shoulder: "My family is also a noble in the Soul Society, okay? What do you want to do?"

"Oh, I almost forgot."

Fang Mo nodded, then looked towards Urahara Kisuke: "Then it's fine, you go ahead and speak first, I'll magnanimously let the Soul Society off this time."

Hearing the conversation between Fang Mo and Yoruichi, Urahara Kisuke's gaze also flickered a few times.

He had heard from Yoruichi before about the opponent's intelligence, but only now did he truly understand what kind of person the opponent was, feeling like someone who thrives in chaos.

Of course, he indeed has the qualifications, as it's frightening that he can defeat the Captain-Commander unscathed without spiritual pressure.

Honestly, Urahara Kisuke even doubted if Aizen could achieve this extent.

Such a terrifying individual, Urahara Kisuke did not wish for him to be an enemy, even though his background and identity are very suspicious, but at present, Aizen has already been confirmed as an enemy, and his goal is exactly the Hogyoku... So, compared to provoking two formidable enemies, Urahara Kisuke prefers to shift the blame onto Aizen first.

This is probably a plan like 'letting the snipe and clam fight', letting them fight it out first to determine a winner.

As for what would happen if Hogyoku falls into Fang Mo's hands... The current situation no longer allows Urahara Kisuke to consider such matters, as provoking this individual further might make things even worse.

Thinking this, Urahara Kisuke directly channeled his spiritual energy into the device.

Soon, the Kūkanten'i activated, and the space in front of them suddenly emitted a strange tearing sound, followed by a black spatial crack opening out of nowhere.

"Success..."

Urahara Kisuke immediately began to speak, but just as he was halfway through, a white light flashed through the black crack, and a sense of crisis enveloped his entire body.

"Hadō No. 81, Dankū!"

Without further ado, Urahara Kisuke immediately launched a Kidō spell, and a semi-transparent light screen instantly opened in front of them.

And at the same moment, countless white lights fiercely burst out from the black void, with a series of deafening explosions, the entire underground space seemed as if it was about to collapse, and the light screen created by Urahara Kisuke instantly showed numerous cracks, he immediately raised his cane: "Blood Mist Shield!"

Following his voice, the cane instantly transformed into a straight Zanpakutō.

Immediately afterward, an energy like blood formed a shield in front of him, barely blocking the aftermath.

"Sigh..."

Upon seeing this, Urahara Kisuke breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why did it fail?" At this moment, Yoruichi, who was beside him, also showed a puzzled expression: "What's with these white lights?"

"Not sure..."

Urahara Kisuke adjusted his hat and frowned unconsciously: "Perhaps it's Aizen's doing. The barrier seems quite unstable at the moment, with tremendous energy continuously destroying the space inside."

"Cough cough cough cough..."

Just as he was saying this, Fang Mo suddenly started coughing violently.

"Hmm?" Yoruichi looked at Fang Mo curiously: "What's that expression? Are you feeling guilty?"

"I am not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

Fang Mo said with a shifty gaze: "I've never stepped half into the barrier. I was planning to confront Aizen..."

"That's impossible, I saw you tearing through the void and walking in." Hearing Fang Mo say this, Yoruichi became even more convinced of her suspicion and immediately leaned in to ask: "Tell the truth, did you do this?"

"How would I know the barrier was so fragile."

Having been seen through, Fang Mo stopped pretending and spread his hands: "I just shot a little inside, and then the barrier collapsed. Your space here is too fragile. I've been shooting at angels in another world thousands of times recently, and nothing happened to them, they're very resilient."

"What... did you say?"

Yoruichi's expression became strange: "Say that again, you did what to the barrier...?"

"Ah, well, it's my fault, right?" Fang Mo sighed upon hearing this: "It's all my fault, I shot too much."
