Chapter 58: Quincy Annihilation
For Shinigami, Quincy is not an unknown race.
Almost seven hundred years ago, on the land of Soul Society, an extremely bloody war broke out. The initiator of the war were the Quincys headed by the leader of the Quincy, Yhwach.
After this battle, Soul Society was in ruins.
Even the mysterious Zero Division took action during that battle.
However, with the passage of time, the existence of Team Zero has been deliberately hidden in many Soul Society records. More records show that Gotei 13 captain Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni defeated the Yhwach, and protected the Soul Society.
It was also after that battle that Gotei 13 was officially established and continues to this day.
It can be said that that battle rewrote the entire Soul Society structure.
After that battle, the Quincy who invaded Soul Society were basically eliminated, with only a few fleeing and their whereabouts unknown.
In the present world, there are still some Quincy.
These Quincy did not follow Yhwach to invade Soul Society, and at that time Soul Society was in dire straits after the war, so they had no intention of paying attention to them.
After Soul Society recovered its vitality, it managed to spare some energy and deal with a group of Quincies in the world. After making sure that the remaining Quincies in the world could no longer become a hidden danger, they allowed them to exist.
As a result, no one expected that hundreds of years later, in this day and age, Soul Society would suddenly swing its butcher knife at the Quincy in this world.
This is a decision made by Central 46 based on Soul Society's report on the current world monitoring for many years.
The existence of the Quincy has seriously threatened the stability of the Three worlds and the balance.
Shinigami exists to protect the balance between souls.
The sword they wielded against the Hollows was actually the purification of the Hollows. The souls of the Hollows killed by the Shinigami would return to the world itself.
This was not the case for the Hollow who was killed by the Quincy. Even the reishi of the dead Hollow no longer existed.
If things continue like this, there will be fewer and fewer souls in this world.
The world of Souls is based on reishi. When there is no reishi, it will collapse and eventually be completely destroyed.
When Captain Yamamoto called many Gotei 13 captains for a captain meeting and told the whole story, although some captains did not quite agree with the act of annihilating all Quincy in the world.
But Captain Yamamoto stated the stakes.
As the captain of Gotei 13, they can only obey the commander's orders.
Gotei 13, which was established to deal with the war, is now operating at high speed in order to start a war.
In the Spiritual Arts Academy, Arima also learned from Aizen about Shinigami wielding a butcher knife against the Quincy.
"As expected!"
Arima said this to Aizen.
"Because of the despicable things done by the noble ancestors, there is a blood feud between the Shinigami and the Quincy. Although the Shinigami won the war more than 700 years ago, it was not the end. As long as these two races still exist, Sooner or later, a new war will break out in this world."
"At this moment, Shinigami will wield the butcher's knife against the Quincy. Although the timing is very subtle, it is still an acceptable thing."
Aizen nodded. Ever since his master took him to the underground spirit space and saw the power of the Soul King's right arm, he had a completely new understanding of the world. His master did not hesitate to teach Aizen a lot of knowledge that he had never heard of.
Now Aizen has a new understanding of the history of this world.
Arima added: "Although the strength of the Quincy today is not as good as that of a thousand years ago, after all, they have thrived in the world for so many years. Even the Gotei 13 can't kill all the Quincy in a short time."
"Only the 11th Squad is going on the expedition now, right?" Arima suddenly asked Aizen.
Aizen quickly replied: "Yes."
"It won't be long before your fifth division team goes to support them. If possible, you can secretly collect some Quincy corpses and study them."
"The Quincy's power system is completely different from that of the Shinigami. They do not have spiritual power in their bodies, but they have the ability to manipulate and gather reishi. This power originates from their blood. "
"Therefore, the Quincy are a clan that pursues purity of blood. Pure blood and mixed blood have completely different powers."
Aizen immediately understood what his master meant.
On the surface, he was asked to study the Quincy, but secretly, he pointed out the source of the Quincy's power.
It comes from blood.
So, where did the Quincy's bloodline come from?
According to what the master said, the Quincy is a descendant of the Soul King.
Even if this bloodline does not directly originate from the Soul King, it is still closely related to the Soul King.
If they could thoroughly study the power of the Quincy's bloodline, it might be able to help them study the Soul King. In addition, the master's talk about the difference between pure blood and mixed blood could prevent him from leaving.
Half-blood Quincy has little research value. If he wants to study it, he should also study pure-blood Quincy.
…
Arima has retired. (No shit)
He had no intention of intervening in the battle between Shinigami and Quincy.
He had already told Aizen what he wanted to do.
Aizen is now a mature Shinigami and he will do these things well.
Moreover, in Arima's view, Shinigami's attack on the Quincy this time was nothing more than a small fight.
It is true that after hundreds of years of reproduction, the strength of the Quincy in the modern world has recovered a lot and has become a force that cannot be underestimated.
However, these Quincy are just those who did not participate in the war a thousand years ago.
They are just descendants of them.
Their ancestors' strength was mediocre, so they were not recruited by Yhwach.
It may be a bit difficult for Shinigami to destroy these Quincy, but the difficulty is not really that higher.
What's more, if these Quincy are really eliminated, it will make Shinigami not be wary of Quincy for a long time, and then relax their vigilance.
Perhaps it was for this reason that the Shinigami side was caught off guard when the thousand-year bloody battle broke out.
Because they didn't expect that the Quincy, who had been almost wiped out, still had such great strength.
