Chapter 569: Roca's Help

It has to be said that this is an extremely tempting idea, and the ultimate goal of Hongjiang's persistence in finding the Invisible Empire is nothing more than to solve this major concern early. This major concern is said to be the Quincy, but in fact, it is no problem to be more specific about Yhwach.

However, Hongjiang was not overwhelmed by this huge temptation. He knew better than anyone how many difficulties he would have to face to implement the so-called decapitation operation.

The first thing to bear the brunt is the strength of Yhwach.

The sealed king of the Quincy took 900 years to regain his heartbeat, another 90 years to regain his consciousness, and finally 9 years to restore his strength. There is no doubt that Yhwach is now in the stage of regaining his strength.

Unfortunately, Hongjiang is not clear about the progress of these nine years. Even if the death of Kurosaki Masaki is counted as the beginning, Yhwach is estimated to be only one step away from success at this moment. Whether such a Yhwach can be solved by himself alone is a big question mark.

Of course, the so-called recovery of strength may not be like the recovery of injuries, which will have obvious results as time goes by.

Hongjiang vaguely remembered that when the Invisible Empire first wanted to attack the Soul Society, Yhwach could not leave the Invisible Empire as he wished and had to follow a certain time limit.

In this way, the process of recovering his strength may be closer to the feeling of breaking a seal. Only when the seal is fragile to a certain limit can he enjoy a certain degree of autonomy.

And at this time, Yhwach may not have such autonomy and have no power to fight back?

But this also leads to the second question. The Invisible Empire where they are now is the home of the Quincy.

The advantage of the home court is definitely an important factor that must be taken into consideration in any strategy. Unequal combat power, unequal intelligence acquisition, etc., will make the disadvantaged party act cautiously.

In this case, even if it is clear that Yhwach is in the most conspicuous Ice Palace in the center, how to approach silently is a huge challenge.

Of course, for people like Hongjiang, Urahara and Yoruichi, it will take more time to approach and enter the palace. As long as they are careful, even members of the Stern Cross Knights may not be able to find them.

But even entering the Ice Palace only means that the real challenge has just begun. Although the palace is magnificent and tall, as long as it is not like the Great Night Palace, it means that the activity space is reduced and the enemy's defense network is tighter.

You have no idea how many members of the Stern Cross Knights who are comparable to the captain are in that palace. Maybe one or two, a dozen, or the entire Stern Cross Knights may be living in the Ice Palace.

Even if we think in the best case scenario, there are not many Stern Cross Knights stationed around Youhabach, but Haschwald, as the leader, must be next to Youhabach. It is estimated that even Shan Ben who assassinated his ancestor can't do it.

The only feasible way is to break through from the front. Hongjiang doesn't think that he is definitely not as good as Haschwald, but it is estimated that it is impossible to break through in a short time. Once the reinforcements of the Stern Cross Knights arrive, he can only avoid the edge for a while.

Thinking about it this way, it is almost impossible for them to get rid of Yhwach in the Invisible Empire by just a few of them. Even if they add the people who stayed in Hueco Mundo and Hirako, it will be extremely difficult.

This is a crisis that requires everyone's cooperation to overcome. Is it really impossible without the participation of the Soul Society's Gotei 13?

Hiroe sighed in his heart, and suddenly Urahara's voice sounded in his mind: "Can you hear my voice? Can you?"

"Yes." Yoruichi's voice came.

"It seems that Roca's ability is still effective even here."

Roca Paramia, this is the great hollow that Hiroe rescued from the Sal Apollo Laboratory after visiting Hueco Mundo under the guidance of Souya Zaraki.

Roca's ability is to weave a soul-stealing web. Soul-stealing is a toxin that weakens the enemy's will. Weaving a web is to reshape the enemy's soul, or simply to reshape the enemy's personality.

Zaraki Shuang also hopes to use Roca to achieve human thinking assimilation, so as to create a world without hollows. To some extent, Roca can indeed turn humans into emotionless machines, but its principle is not simple assimilation.

Hongjiang initially hoped to use Roca to complete the absolute control of Sar Apollo, but unfortunately this ability has its limitations. Reshaping is not tampering. When the mark of loyalty is branded, the soul of that person is blank.

That is why Hongjiang gave up using Roca's ability. After guiding him to become an Arrancar, Roca's ability has new changes.

After returning to the blade, his name is the Web-weaving Spider Queen. The toxins released are more intense, and the ability to weave webs is to attack directly with the soul. Although it is still impossible to plant a special mark for a specific target, it has a new direction in application.

Roca's soul after the Arrancar can be said to be extremely delicate. Unlike Stark who splits the soul, Roca is more like the attachment of the soul, as if he can use the soul to weave a huge web without boundaries. He sits in the center and senses any movement in the web.

When Hongjiang wanted to tell Urahara and Yoruichi about the existence of Roca and other Arrancars, he had already let Roca separate his soul and attach it to them. This was very risky because it meant that Roca could attack them, but it was also a kind of trust. Of course, Hongjiang and others still had some countermeasures.

The person whose soul was attached to Roca was equivalent to Roca's eyes and ears. If Roca let go of the control of this part of the soul, and even opened his brain and soul, then the person who was possessed would be equivalent to having an extremely secret communication network. With Roca as a transit station, communication from the soul can be achieved, and even each other's vision can be shared.

It is almost needless to say how important the existence of such a network is. It can really make people communicate with each other, whether it is cooperation in battle or the formulation of tactics, it will become smooth.

Now that the voices of Urahara and Yoruichi can be heard, it means that even in this extremely closed space where the Invisible Empire is located, Roca's ability can still provide them with services.

"We can't take it lightly. There may be Quincy who can see through the power of souls." Urahara reminded carefully.

Hong Jiang: "Let's not talk about each other's positions for now. By the way, we just saw a lot of Quincy masters. It seems that they are here to encircle us."

"The enemy has reacted. What should we do now? Should we retreat?"

Yoichi's tone was a little uncertain. It can be heard that she would be very unwilling to return empty-handed.
