One month later, Hueco Mundo.
The familiar place, Gin, Tosen, and the Espada.
After a month of searching, they finally... came up empty-handed and returned as previously agreed.
At this time, Gin and Tosen didn't look to be in good condition, both giving off a feeling of weakness.
Because not long after they infiltrated the Soul Society, they were discovered.
After paying a heavy price, the two barely managed to escape back from the Soul Society. However, this was already quite good, at least they were still alive.
"Are Barragan and Szayelaporro dead?"
Gin looked at the empty spaces belonging to Barragan and Szayelaporro as he spoke, already having a conclusion in his heart.
Among the Espada, six went to the human world, including Szayelaporro and Barragan. There were also Ulquiorra, Starrk, Grimmjow, and Aaroniero. Currently, the others had returned, but Barragan and Szayelaporro had not, their fate self-evident.
"With you there, Ulquiorra, Barragan and Szayelaporro shouldn't have died at the hands of Hui, right? So that means, there are other powerful humans in the human world?"
Gin looked at Ulquiorra, causing him to fall silent.
During the last division of tasks, he had volunteered to go to the human world.
And the main reason Ulquiorra chose to go to the human world was to stop those who planned to approach Hui.
However, it was useless. Grimmjow and Starrk were still alright, they knew their limits and didn't rashly take risks.
However, Barragan and Szayelaporro were both extremely arrogant and didn't listen to Ulquiorra's words at all.
In addition, the relationship between the Espada wasn't very good, so after entering the human world, the Espada didn't act together, but scattered.
This resulted in Ulquiorra's goal not being achieved, leading to Barragan and Szayelaporro dying at the hands of Hui.
But Ulquiorra did try his best.
After witnessing Hui's power, he didn't dare to go to Karakura Town and couldn't stop the other Espada at their destination.
However, he had already done everything he could to stop them at the starting point and during the process.
"No, they didn't die at the hands of other powerful humans, because after Barragan and Szayelaporro went to Karakura Town, they never returned.
And according to the information I received... Mochizuki Hui is in Karakura Town."
Ulquiorra's words stunned everyone, then they each fell into their own thoughts.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I can't believe Barragan actually died in the human world. He hadn't even gotten revenge on Aizen yet.
"But it can't be helped. Who told him to provoke that human? Before we set off, we emphasized many times not to provoke Hui."
Gin's sarcastic words made the other Espada even more silent.
However, their hearts were filled with unease.
Before setting off, although they already knew in their hearts that Hui, who could instantly kill Nnoitra, would be a powerful human, they didn't have much of a sense of just how powerful.
However, after the skeptical Barragan and Szayelaporro both died at the hands of Hui, they finally understood how powerful he truly was.
After all, Barragan was the former king of Hueco Mundo. To put it bluntly, none of them were Barragan's opponent.
While everyone remained silent, Gin didn't continue to provoke them, but simply said, "Then let's talk about our respective findings. How is the search for Yhwach going?
"There's a 90% chance that there's no such Soul Reaper in the Soul Society. We didn't find any information during our search this time." He spoke first, then looked at the other Arrancar.
"I don't have any clues either. I've explored many human worlds and haven't found this guy called Yhwach, not a single piece of information."
Ulquiorra spoke. He had indeed searched very seriously, but unfortunately, there were no results.
"Yeah, trying to find him with just a name is simply impossible." Grimmjow also spoke, shrugging his shoulders.
"Nothing." Starrk said, his heart heavy.
Even though he didn't like Barragan and Szayelaporro, they were, after all, fellow Espada, and he didn't really want them to die. Another point was that, in Starrk's mind, the Espada were the blades in Aizen's hands.
The death of any Espada would dull these blades.
"We didn't find anything either." Aaroniero also spoke, then closed his mouth.
In fact, he hadn't bothered to search seriously, because in Aaroniero's mind, compared to the boring task of finding someone, he was more concerned with his own evolution.
In Aaroniero's view, as long as he could continue to evolve, one day, he would be able to surpass the Espada ranked above him, and even surpass Aizen.
"We didn't find anything on our side either."
Tia Harribel, the only female among the Espada, was actually in a pretty good mood.
Because Szayelaporro was dead.
This Arrancar, whom she had always disliked, was dead, so she was naturally happy.
"It seems that none of us have gained anything."
Tosen spoke, sighing inwardly.
But he also knew that they couldn't really be blamed for this operation.
Because Lille Barrog them to find this unknown being, whether human, Soul Reaper, or Hollow, with just the name "Yhwach" was indeed very difficult.
"Keep searching. Aizen ordered us to find him, and as long as he hasn't been found, this mission won't end."
Gin's words silenced everyone.
Even Gin himself was silent.
Because continuing the search meant he would have to go to the Soul Society again.
And going to the Soul Society was too dangerous. This time, they barely managed to escape after infiltrating.
If they were discovered again during the next infiltration, Gin had absolutely no confidence in being able to return again.
This made Gin very troubled. He didn't want to die like this; he hadn't made Aizen pay the price yet.
