"What?! How can this be..." Mayuri said incredulously.
And not only Mayuri, but everyone else present also looked utterly amazed.
Unohana couldn't help asking: "Captain Hitsugaya, is this a Garganta? But... when did you master the ability to open a Garganta? I remember that when you came to Hueco Mundo, you also relied on Urahara Kisuke's help. You shouldn't have had the ability to open a Garganta back then. Did you also analyze the Garganta like Captain Kurotsuchi after fighting Aizen..."
"No, to be precise, this isn't him analyzing the Garganta..." Mayuri said after recovering from his shock.
Then Mayuri looked at Toshiro and said sarcastically: "Hehehe... as expected of the Vice-Captain-Commander. He simply used brute force to break the space..."
"Used brute force to break the space?" Unohana asked, puzzled.
"Correct. He didn't analyze the Garganta. He simply used brute force to break the space between Hueco Mundo and the Living World, thus creating a space passage similar to a Garganta. However... what I'm most curious about is... how did you lock onto the route coordinates from Hueco Mundo to the Living World?" Mayuri said, looking at Toshiro.
Using brute force to forcibly break space, although impressive enough, was not unusual. As long as one was powerful enough, anyone could do it.
For example, when two powerful enemies fight, casually breaking space is not strange. Apart from Toshiro, there are others in Soul Society who can do this.
But what Mayuri couldn't understand was how Toshiro had locked onto the coordinates between Hueco Mundo and the Living World.
You must understand, space is everywhere and interconnected, like a dense, intricate spiderweb. If you casually use brute force to break space, the other side will not directly reveal a passage to another world, but violent chaotic currents. Ordinary people who enter will die.
And even if one is powerful enough to not die immediately, one would get lost in the ethereal and intricate chaotic space.
Therefore, to create a passage from one dimension to another by breaking space, one first needs to find the coordinates of the other dimension across endless space, then accurately find a 'route' between the two dimensional coordinates from the dense, intricate spatial lines, and finally use force to forcibly 'open' this spatial route.
However, unfortunately, this is basically impossible.
So what truly amazed Mayuri was not that Toshiro's strength was powerful enough to break space casually, but that he could precisely find the coordinates of Hueco Mundo and the Living World, as well as the accurate spatial route between them.
"Hmph, Kurotsuchi, there are many things in this world you don't know!" Toshiro snorted coldly and did not explain anything to Mayuri.
In fact, the reason Toshiro was able to forcibly break space and create a passage from Hueco Mundo to the Living World was mainly due to the evolution of the [True Dragon Eye].
This time, after Toshiro trained in seclusion in the Absolute Zero space for 'about a year', not only had his personal strength increased considerably, but even his True Dragon Eye had evolved. It could not only see through falsehoods and counter Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu, but could also see through space.
According to Toshiro's own estimation, if he broke through to the True God level, the True Dragon Eye's ability would evolve further. Its ability to see through space would also increase.
It might no longer be limited to different planes within the [Bleach World] like Hueco Mundo and the Living World, or Soul Society and Hueco Mundo. It might even be able to break through the layers of the universe and find the way back to Earth.
"Rangiku, I'm going to the Living World to participate in the battle now. You stay in Hueco Mundo for the time being and act with the others. But don't worry, no one can force you to be a test subject." Toshiro glanced warningly at Mayuri, then said to Rangiku.
If it were normal times, Toshiro would definitely settle accounts with Mayuri for eyeing his subordinates. But in this special time, Toshiro couldn't deal with Mayuri for now.
"Yes, Captain!" Hearing Toshiro's words, Rangiku was very touched, but at the same time, she couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed.
After all, if she could go to the Living World with Toshiro, she would see Gin again...
Then Toshiro used the same method, forcibly breaking space to open a large passage from Hueco Mundo to Soul Society that could accommodate many people at once.
"Byakuya, the main force of Las Noches has followed Aizen to the Living World. The remaining enemies are no longer a threat. So I won't stay to help. After you rescue the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force, return to Soul Society through this passage." Toshiro said to Byakuya.
"I understand." Byakuya nodded calmly.
Then Toshiro said goodbye to Nel, Sojiro, Ashido, and the others.
"Captain Hitsugaya..."
Unohana suddenly said: "This time, I'll go to the Living World with you!"
"Go together?"
"Yes. Although we were prepared for this decisive battle with Aizen thanks to your warning, no matter how sufficient the preparation, I'm afraid casualties are inevitable. And because most of the 4th Division's members are relatively weak and lack the ability to protect themselves on the battlefield, Captain-Commander Yamamoto did not let the 4th Division's medical personnel participate in the battle. So, our side currently lacks treatment capabilities on the battlefield. As the Captain of the medical team, naturally I cannot just sit by and do nothing."
"Well... alright."
Toshiro thought for a moment, then ultimately agreed to Unohana's request.
The situation in Hueco Mundo was largely settled. With Byakuya and Zaraki present, and Sojiro, Ashido, and the others gradually recovering from their injuries, and according to the original work, Yammy, the so-called 'Cero Espada', was simply a fraud, which means Zaraki and Byakuya alone could defeat him…
So the remaining forces in Las Noches could not resist the Shinigami side.
Therefore, rescuing the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force and Nel's companions was a foregone conclusion. Unohana's presence or absence didn't matter. Staying here would be a waste. Going to the Living World would allow her to play a greater role. So Toshiro ultimately agreed to Unohana's request.
"Isane, after I go to the Living World, the treatment work here in Hueco Mundo is yours." Unohana instructed Isane.
"Yes, Captain." Isane acknowledged.
Unohana no longer needed to be a test subject for Mayuri's Garganta, which made Isane relatively happy. But thinking that the battlefield in the Living World was also very dangerous, she couldn't help feeling a bit worried. However, she had no reason to stop Unohana anymore.
"Well then... Captain Hitsugaya, let's depart." Unohana said to Toshiro.
"Ah... but before that..."
Toshiro suddenly reached his hand to the hilt of the Zanpakuto on his back and walked towards Mayuri.
"Hmph! So you are going to attack after all? But I'm not someone to be bullied!" Mayuri snorted coldly, simultaneously reaching for the Zanpakuto at his waist, ready to draw his sword against Toshiro.
Whoosh!
A brilliant flash of sword light passed. Mayuri only felt his eyes blur, and then Toshiro, who had been walking towards him, instantly vanished.
Clatter!
The mask Mayuri had always worn split in two and fell onto the sandy ground.
"Heh, you're not Komamura. You have a rather handsome face, so why hide it?" Toshiro's voice came from behind Mayuri.
"Hehehe... such strength... as expected of you, Hitsugaya Toshiro..."
Mayuri looked grimly at the Zanpakuto at his waist. He hadn't even seen Toshiro's figure clearly. Not only had his always-worn mask been split in two, but the Zanpakuto he had halfway drawn had also been pushed back into its sheath by his other hand.
If he wanted, Toshiro could instantly kill him! The gap in strength was too great!
"This is just a warning... Next time you lay a hand on my subordinates... I don't care what contribution your research has made to Soul Society, I will still kill you without mercy!" Toshiro said in a deep voice.
Having said that, Toshiro turned and walked into the passage he had opened.
"Oh my, Captain Kurotsuchi's face under the mask is indeed quite handsome..." Unohana said with a sly smile, teasing.
Then Unohana followed closely behind Toshiro, stepping into the passage to the Living World.
Mayuri, however, stood there with clenched fists and a grim expression...
