Bleach: The Invincible Slacker from Rukongai

On the one hand, the other party wanted to prove his innocence; on the other hand, he also wanted to make up for his previous mistakes, especially towards Ichigo Kurosaki.

Unconsciously, Abarai Renji had already regarded Ichigo Kurosaki as both an opponent and a friend.

In Uehara Shiroha's opinion, although Abarai Renji and Grimmjow talked tough about catching up to Ichigo Kurosaki, the talent gap between these two and Ichigo was like the difference between Krillin and Goku. They could only talk big.

But good friends were like this, and the friendship between men was understandable.

While thinking, Uehara Shiroha looked at the desert stretching out before him. Small animal Hollows scurried around in the distance. Further away, a Reiatsu different from ordinary Hollows was sneaking closer. It had to be the guardian of the white sands—the one who was very much alive.

Strictly speaking, Hollows weren't a necessary part of the soul particle cycle. After living beings died in this world, those who reached the end of their natural lifespan would directly enter reincarnation. Spirits who died for other reasons had the opportunity to enter the Soul Society and become residents of Rukongai.

Of course, those with lingering obsessions would become Hollows.

Hollows born in the real world would instinctively devour souls to grow, and when they reached a certain level, they would go to Hueco Mundo to continue evolving.

In the world of the Shinigami, the real world was equivalent to the living world, where matter and life were composed of particles. Soul Society was the residence of spirits, where the Shinigami dwelled. Hueco Mundo was the residence of Hollows. As for Hell, the extremely evil spirits would be imprisoned there to receive punishment.

Even without Hollows, the spirits and souls of the Shinigami world could still achieve circulation. But Hueco Mundo must exist because it was a necessary part of the world's balance.

The world of the Shinigami was composed of the real world, Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and Hell. The Reiatsu strength of these four parts—or the strength of the spirits and souls—must maintain a balance " within a certain range.

Simply put, the world of the Shinigami was a small balance on a large balance. The left and right ends of the small balance were Hueco Mundo and Soul Society, the fulcrum was the real world, and the wedge was the Soul King.

Therefore, the number of souls in Hueco Mundo and Soul Society must be equal. Otherwise, the two worlds would approach and collide, eventually leading to the destruction of the three realms.

At the same time, the living world and the Soul King must exist; otherwise, without the support of the fulcrum wedge, the three realms would collapse and merge into one.

The Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the living world as a whole constituted the two ends of a large balance with Hell. The strength of the souls on both sides must remain balanced. Otherwise, the seal of Hell would be unlocked, and some very bad things would happen, such as the "ancestors" opening the coffin.

Uehara Shiroha guessed that the reason why the monk didn't immediately take action against Aizen and Yhwach was to prevent Hell from making trouble. After all, the Reiatsu possessed by these two people was the main force keeping Hell sealed.

In Hell, there were unknown existences that even the Soul King couldn't see through. So at the beginning, the monk only sealed Yhwach's all-knowing and omnipotent eyes.

Balance was the purpose of the Shinigami and the monk.

Uehara Shiroha wasn't worried about this "seesaw world" that was somewhat subtle and somewhat dangerous. Even if the worst happened, it wouldn't stop him from playing music and dancing, nor would it stop him from continuing his tasks and becoming stronger.

As long as he completed the daily tasks, Uehara Shiroha could gain attribute points. As a result, his Reiatsu and basic abilities could be improved, and the improvement was based on the percentage of his current strength.

Therefore, the later he gained attribute points, the stronger the improvement effect would be, and the faster his strength would increase. The most important thing was that such improvement ignored any bottlenecks—there was no limit at all.

So as long as he lived long enough and completed more tasks, he could even surpass the only true god in the world of death. At that time, even if the world collapsed, he could rebuild it in a minute and create a more perfect world. What the Soul King could do, he could do—and even better.

While thinking, Uehara Shiroha grabbed a handful of desert sand and released his perfect level of Observation Haki. The ability to see everything activated.

He immediately locked onto the faint will within the sand. This will was like Hueco Mundo itself—lifeless, yet full of primitive instincts and desires.

If Hueco Mundo was a world of the dead, then this will was the will of the dead, a corpse-like existence.

It seemed the legend was true. This desert had been transformed from a Great Hollow killed by the Soul King in ancient times. To be precise, the main body of the desert should be the corpse of the ancient Great Hollow that had devoured the world.

The so-called valleys were the remains of high-level souls in the Broken World. The Reiatsu of their remaining Reishi was too strong, forming small worlds.

Therefore, it could be inferred that Hueco Mundo was the transformation of Reishi after the death of the ancient Great Hollow. By the same token, every Reishi world independent of the real world might have some extremely powerful will and Reiatsu.

Then what about Soul Society? What about Hell?

Uehara Shiroha sighed secretly. "Aizen was right about this. This world is indeed built on corpses. Every world has a corresponding will secretly controlling it. This will is the rule by which the world operates. However, I don't like this kind of will, this kind of power, and this kind of rule!"

While he was thinking, Nel thawed out. She gasped and said, "That was so dangerous! I almost died! That icy feeling was quite interesting, but way too dangerous! Damn Shinigami you—"

"What did you call me?" Uehara Shiroha glanced over. He had just used a little bit of his Stand power. Otherwise, Nel would never have thawed in this lifetime.

Noticing Uehara Shiroha's eyes, Nel immediately admitted her mistake. "I'm sorry, Lord Shinigami. I was too loud just now."

As the two were talking, Nel suddenly discovered that the nearby desert had undergone strange changes. White gravel scattered, and a huge, terrifying Hollow made of sand appeared before them.

Looking at the familiar white sand guardian, Nel was almost scared to death and exclaimed, "Lord Runuganga has appeared again!"

"Intruder, die!" Runuganga faithfully carried out his task of destroying invaders.

Hollows relied on their bodies to survive. Their defense and vitality were stronger than those of Shinigami and Quincy of the same strength. This was even more true for Arrancar.

Therefore, after Ichigo Kurosaki's random slashing and Rukia's initial freezing attack, Runuganga still had the strength to fight. According to Aizen's order, any stranger who entered the range of Las Noches must die.

A large amount of white sand rolled towards Uehara Shiroha and Nel.

"Again?" Nel opened her mouth wide and swallowed another mouthful of sand, her face contorted with horror. Facing the threat of death once more, the hidden power and memory in her body began to stir.

Facing the sandstorm, Uehara Shiroha snorted coldly, his body standing firm. Reiatsu burst out from the air, blasting away the rolling sand waves, and locked onto Runuganga who was controlling the sandstorm.

The Guardian of the White Sand felt his body growing extremely heavy. His form gradually fell apart, and his mind began to slip into darkness.

He murmured to himself, "Lord Aizen, I'm sorry..."

The enemy's attack was so horrifying that he was completely helpless. Until the end, he didn't know what had happened.

His body made of sand grains was immune to Zangetsu's attack, but it couldn't stop the terrifying attack that crushed even sand grains into powder.

As the wind blew, Runuganga's torn body turned into the purest spirit dust and drifted away. Soon, there was no trace of Runuganga in the world. This Arrancar died more cleanly and thoroughly than those ancient great Hollows.

This was the Reiatsu shock that belonged to Uehara Shiroha. The unity of man and sword plus the Unlimited Blade Works made his Reiatsu shock have terrifying power.

His Reiatsu shock could not only deter others at the spiritual level but also possessed physical destructive power—an ability that ordinary Reiatsu shocks did not have.

Just like Conqueror's Haki is a top talent that only one in a million has, causing mental deterrence to the weak and clearing away soldiers. If the realm is higher, it can achieve the entanglement of King's Haki, which can cause a double attack on the enemy's spirit and body.

And Uehara Shiroha's " Haki" seemed to have its own entanglement ability. With one impact, the weak fell to the ground, the strong bled, and hearts were damaged. This invisible killing power was truly terrifying.

Its power was equivalent to the Bankai of an ordinary Shinigami captain. How could this combat power not be strong?

Just like Aizen could use Reiatsu to intimidate Grimmjow, making his consciousness blur and rendering him unable to move. But if Aizen really wanted to kill someone, he still needed to use sword techniques or Kidō.

Unless the difference in Reiatsu between the two sides was several dimensions apart, then the stronger could use Reiatsu to directly annihilate the soul of the weaker. Just like when Aizen was sealed in a chair, he could still rely on Reiatsu to evaporate the body of an ordinary Shinigami.

But this was only a special case, and an opponent's Reiatsu didn't actually have the effect of a physical attack.

Uehara Shiroha's Reiatsu was different. With a single Reiatsu impact, Grimmjow's body and mind would be torn apart. This attack method was comparable to the black torrent formed by the residual Reiatsu of the Soul King, and it was immensely powerful.

There were many ways to be immune to sword techniques or strange abilities, but there were almost no ways to be immune to Reiatsu. In the eyes of ordinary people, this was even more like a god-like power.

Nel, for example, was shocked in that moment. Although her little brain was sometimes smart and sometimes not, she also knew how weird and terrifying the scene in front of her was.

"Dead!? How is that possible?" Nel's expression was so distorted with shock that it almost became a 'meme'

The invincible white sand guardian had actually fallen! The body of sand that wasn't afraid of being slashed had broken into pieces and shattered into dust!? And throughout the process, Shiroha Uehara's body hadn't even moved.

What was going on? And putting all this aside, would she be killed to silence her?

It wasn't surprising that Nel had such thoughts. After all, in her opinion, Las Noches and Aizen were extremely powerful and invincible. And killing the guardian of Las Noches was a big deal.

More importantly, Shiroha gave her the feeling that he wasn't someone to mess with.

Seeing that Nel's eyes were getting clearer, Shiroha knew this little thing was thinking nonsense again. He said, "Now that you've discovered it, there's nothing we can do. How many pieces should I cut you into?"

"No, Nel is very useful!" Noticing the look in Uehara Shiroha's eyes as if he was looking at pork on a chopping board, Nel's body trembled and she said quickly, "My saliva can heal wounds. I am very good at playing hide and seek."

"Wait a minute!" Shiroha took out the horse talisman and shot it at Nel.

A white light flashed, and all the minor injuries on her body healed. But Nel's body did not grow bigger and return to the royal sister form from her Tres Espada days.

Nel looked at the horse talisman in Uehara Shiroha's hand with sparkling eyes. "What is this? So comfortable! Just like the legendary sunshine!"

Just now, bathing in the white light, she'd felt warm all over and full of strength. Her body had become swollen. She instinctively realized that if she let this feeling continue, she might really grow a brain. But fortunately, she suppressed this feeling by force.

Looking at Nel with her silly face, Uehara Shiroha understood in his heart: "It's not that the horse talisman isn't powerful enough. It's that Nel is in a normal state now. At least, that's what she thinks. Maybe deep down, this peace-loving person would rather keep this harmless appearance. She's really deceiving herself."

However, it didn't matter if she couldn't change back for the time being; he wasn't picky. It was easier to deceive a child. And considering her real age, he wasn't exploiting child labor.

"Want to compete?" Seeing Uehara Shiroha staring at her, Nel thought he wanted to play a staring game with her.

She stared at Uehara Shiroha without blinking, and her look became more and more silly and cute. She completely forgot her fear from moments ago.

Uehara Shiroha casually threw a big slap at Nel's head, making her lose her balance. "I won!"

"Hateful, despicable..." Nel, who was hit on the back of her head for no apparent reason, was in tears and her head was buzzing. If she hadn't been unable to beat him, she would have pounced on him and bitten him to death.

Uehara Shiroha picked up Nel with one hand like he was holding a fish and said casually, "It just so happens that my base needs a gatekeeper. I see that you have a fine figure and are a natural worker. So you'll come guard the gate for me! If you work hard, I'll give you a raise at the end of the year."

Aizen's approach at Las Noches was really too kind. He held a meeting every ten days, never worked overtime, and even gave tea to drink. Was this charity?

No wonder some of the Espada didn't work hard, but just slacked off to gain seniority. Their slogans were quite loud, and they were all very arrogant, but their records were all zero. In a fight, they were either stupid, reckless, or soft-hearted.

They were all incapable of taking on big responsibilities, and the strengthening of the Hōgyoku was in vain. The combined effects and records of all the Hollows weren't as good as those of the brainless Wonderweiss.

At least he defeated Kensei, sealed Ryūjin Jakka, dug out Ukitake's heart, and almost stole Urahara's victory... This role was great, and it wasn't too much to give him an MVP.

In comparison, the performance of the other Espada was a bit unsightly. No wonder Aizen turned against them in the end and started to clean house.

All this must be the fault of the system. If Uehara were to replace Aizen, he would definitely arrange for clock-in, daily performance, and benefit. In this way, there would be no need to worry that Hueco Mundo wouldn't become bigger and stronger and create greater glory!

"What is a worker?" Thinking she was being praised, Nel grinned and laughed out loud. She had never enjoyed these before and thought it was some new game, eager to try it.

Uehara Shiroha glanced at the little thing that was so proud and thought to himself, "Laugh, laugh, there will be a time for you to cry. I want to see how long you can endure."

Along the way, the two met a few ignorant Arrancars. These Arrancars rushed over and shouted:

"Kill this Shinigami!"

"For Lord Aizen!"

"Die!"
