The Hidden Former Substitute Soul Reaper

Starrk turned to look at the empty night sky.

So this is all you're capable of?

Clap clap clap

The air contorted as if under extreme heat, and the next moment Aizen's figure appeared.

He clapped his hands in admiration. "You actually managed to find my location, very impressive!"

"My 'Kyōka Suigetsu' ability is Complete Hypnosis."

"I see, that's why Baraggan acted like a fool." Lilynette nodded thoughtfully, then her eyes widened.

"Wait, Starrk, so we've been hypnotized too!"

"That's right, but I can vaguely sense something amiss." Starrk's gaze was fixed on Aizen.

He has already figured out a way to counter this ability.

That's indiscriminate attack.

This was not a difficult task for him and Lilynette.

But that would kill Baraggan and all those Voidlings.

He deliberately stood in the air to avoid getting involved with those falsehoods.

What should we do? Should we continue?

Aizen noticed Starrk's gaze and realized that the other man was actually quite concerned about the Hollows below.

He asked with a gentle smile, "It's rare to see someone as powerful as you who doesn't want to harm other Hollows."

"We're all virtual beings, and we're all compatriots." Starrk glanced at Baraggan, who stood still, seemingly oblivious to what he had seen.

"Compatriots?" Aizen gently shook his head. "I believe that only those who walk the same path are true companions."

"Dividing them into Hollows, Soul Reaper, and humans is too narrow a view."

"As a Void being, you can't even get close to those Void beings below."

As Aizen spoke, he moved closer to Starrk, eventually stopping a meter away from him.

"They have a chance," Starrk replied calmly.

The opportunity he was referring to was, of course, the chance for the Void to gain power through devouring, and ultimately have the opportunity to evolve into Vasto Lorde.

There's no need to chase after such a tiny opportunity.

Aizen chuckled and reached into his sleeve to take out the Hōgyoku, along with something that looked like a tumor.

He reached out his other hand and casually grabbed something from the virtual group below.

A creature with a body resembling a withered tree was caught and lifted into the sky.

He directly inserted the tumor into the other person's Hollow Hole, and then stuck the Hōgyoku) on the other person's forehead.

"Ugh..." the weak creature let out a painful the Roar.

Its body gradually began to change, transforming from its original withered tree form into a human shape.

A moment later, he was indistinguishable from a human in appearance, except that the mask on his head, representing the void, completely covered his head.

Starrk observed carefully and realized that the Hollows, who were originally able to stay by his side for a few minutes at most after splitting, were now actually able to hold out.

Moreover, that guy also had a Soul Reaper's Zanpakuto at his waist.

Aizen smiled as he retrieved the Hōgyoku, though he was disappointed by the Hollow's transformation.

After all, this Hollow only absorbed the power of the Soul Reaper; it did not achieve the desired soul breakthrough.

However, he asked gently, "What's your name?"

The figure wearing the ox bone mask knelt respectfully in response:

"Rudbornn Chelute."

"Very good, from now on you will be my comrade." Aizen said, looking at Starrk.

"These are true companions walking the same path."

"This guy has actually gotten stronger." Lilynette was shocked.

She broke free from Starrk's grasp and ran to Rudbornn Chelute, circling around him.

This is a test to see if the other party can withstand the Reiatsu emanating from them.

After spinning around for a while, it realized it hadn't collapsed, and happily shouted:

"They really held on!"

"I see, I understand now."

Starrk nodded to Aizen.

"The new king of Hueco Mundo."

Chapter 127 The Hidden Former Soul Reaper

Isshin Kurosaki and Masaki Kurosaki's wedding was not a grand affair.

They turned their home and clinic into a church, setting up two tables to entertain their friends.

Tokoyo Misao glanced at it briefly and immediately understood why they had made that choice.

Masaki Kurosaki was an orphan who lived with another Quincy family, the Ishida Family, from a young age.

In other words, none of the Kurosaki Family's relatives or sisters could attend her wedding.

As for the Ishida Family, they raised Masaki Kurosaki as a child bride.

But ever since her bloodline was contaminated, she moved out of the Ishida Family.

Only his close friend Ryūken Ishida, attended the wedding.

As for former Soul Society captain Isshin Shiba, now known as Isshin Kurosaki, he's not much better off.

The only person he could call a friend was Ryūken Ishida, and that was only a one-sided friendship; the other person might not necessarily like him or be interested in playing Isshin.

Former colleagues Kisuke Urahara, Shinji Hirako, and others didn't have much interaction back in Soul Society; they hadn't even drunk together.

The wedding venue did appear somewhat deserted, but the happy smiles on the couple's faces were genuine.

"Oh my god, is it really true?" came an exclamation from the doorway.

Kaien Shiba, wearing a T-shirt and casual pants, pushed open the door and came into the backyard.

After hearing from Rukia that Isshin Shiba was getting married, he volunteered to take on the mission of guarding the World of the Living.

The Soul Reaper who now reside in the World of the Living receive a Gigai from the Heaven and Earth Trading Company as a benefit provided by the Tenth Division to support the Soul Reaper on their missions.

After all, quite a few Soul Reaper have died here over the years.

Following the address provided by the shop assistant, Kaien Shiba arrived at a place called Kurosaki Hospital.

Seeing Isshin Kurosaki's happy smile, he smiled and stepped forward, "Isshin, congratulations!"

"Kaien, what brings you here?"

Isshin Kurosaki was somewhat flustered, his eyes constantly darting towards Tokoyo Misao beside him.

"They didn't even tell me they were getting married; Rukia had to tell me."

Kaien Shiba first showed a slightly angry expression, then grinned and patted Isshin Shiba's shoulder happily. He turned to look at Masaki Kurosaki and said with a smile.

"You're really something, finding such a wonderful wife."

"My Kaien Shiba, and I should be considered Isshin's nephew."

"Hello, I am Isshin's wife, Masaki Kurosaki." Masaki Kurosaki responded gracefully.

The moment she saw Kaien Shiba's face, she knew he was her husband's relative; the resemblance was uncanny.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Kaien Shiba said, then burst into tears.

Tokoyo Misao grabbed him by the back of his collar and pulled him to sit down at a nearby table.

"Why are you crying on such a wonderful day?"

"There's nothing I can do. I always thought Isshin was dead, but I never expected him to be alive and well in the World of the Living, and even married." Kaien Shiba burst into tears, snot streaming down his face.

It has to be said, Kisuke Urahara Gigai technology is truly terrifying.

Logically speaking, this thing was originally made so that the Soul Reapers stationed in the World of the Living could use it to heal themselves when injured.

Or it could allow Soul Reaper to interact with the World of the Living, making certain actions more convenient.

There is absolutely no need to make things like blood or snot.

But that thing just happened to be fully functional, even having a digestive function.

"Alright, remember to keep this a secret when you get back. Giving the power of Soul Reaper to a human without authorization is more serious than betraying Soul Society."

Tokoyo Misao casually tore off two tissues and handed them over, offering a word of advice.

Betraying Soul Society is indeed a serious crime.

But as long as they don't continue to cause trouble, the Soul Society will basically turn a blind eye.

Let the traitors exile themselves in the World of the Living.

Because in their eyes, staying in a place like the World of the Living, where Reishi is scarce, for a long time would be very uncomfortable.

At most, the Soul Reaper stationed in the World of the Living would discover it and notify the Gotei 13 to arrest him; that was all.

In comparison, Soul Reaper gave its power to humanity, which is a grave sin that disrupts the rules of the Three Worlds.

The Soul Society will definitely investigate thoroughly and bring him back.

It might even kill humans who have gained the power of the Soul Reaper.

"I know." Kaien Shiba wiped away her tears and snot, and looked at the two people standing in the center of the field.

He couldn't help but think of his wife, Shiba Miyako, in Soul Society, and a happy expression appeared on his face.

The wedding banquet proceeded quickly; the Kurosaki couple didn't even hire a pastor.

They simply made a vow, exchanged rings, kissed, went through the motions, had a meal, and that was considered the official end.

They had already completed their marriage registration a month ago.

The wedding was Isshin Kurosaki's idea.

Kaien Shiba, slightly drunk, suddenly seemed to remember something and said loudly:

"Captain Misao, they're calling you to go back right away."

Only then did he realize that this time he had not only received the mission to gather clues, but also the order to recall Tokoyo Misao back to Soul Society.

"You didn't register your arrival in this World of the Living, did you?"

"Do I, one of the Five Great Noble Clans, need to apply for a declaration?" Tokoyo Misao scoffed.

Both the Shihoin Clan and the Kuchiki Clan have their own Senkaimon.

Yoruichi Shihōin would occasionally return to Soul Society through the Shihoin Clan's Senkaimon.

Did the Shinigami Research and Development Institute not notice anything at all?

Of course not, the movement that breaks through space could never be silent.

It's just that the Gotei 13 has no jurisdiction over the powerful noble family Shihoin Clan.

Similarly, the Central 46 Chambers would not cause trouble for the Shihoin Clan simply because they discovered movement in the space.

Tokoyo Misao, also a member of a high-ranking noble family, had only applied for the position out of respect for the Gotei 13.

"In short, Captain-Commander Yamamoto has given you orders to return immediately."

"Alright."

Tokoyo Misao returned to the Chamber of Commerce, he found Shinji Hirako in her employee uniform at the cashier.

"I didn't expect you to volunteer to work as a waiter."

"Boss Misao, it's been a long time since you've been here," Hirako replied with a smile.
