Jun first led his team to the Expedition force's location, but because of the final scene, he abandoned his initial plan. Originally, Jun intended for everyone to go to Soul Society together, bringing Isuzu and the Expedition force along, thinking he would go to negotiate with overwhelming force.
But now that I've seen that scene, I feel I should warn the Expedition force: don't rush in just because you sense something's wrong in Soul Society. Otherwise, you'll get wiped out in one hit and have no way to regret it.
After warning the Expedition force, the Senkaimon was opened directly here, and the group walked openly into the Senkaimon Seireitei.
"What"
The two gatekeepers realized something was wrong, but before they could even finish speaking, they were nearly paralyzed with fear. Behind Jun, to his left, was Ulquiorra, and to his right Nel. It was already quite remarkable that the Soul Reaper the Arrancar was even standing there at all.
"This is Soul Society? It seems pretty average, but the Reishi density is quite good," Ulquiorra, making his rational the Visionary.
"That's because the Seireitei has that protective barrier, which increases the Reishi density here. The Rukongai is much worse than the Seireitei," Orihime. Having followed along this time, she saw the sea of fire and refused to leave, determined to die together.
Actually, many people here share this feeling: the purely predicted future probably won't happen because it's too unrealistic. The Captain-Commander is indeed very capable, but not to that extent. Look at that prediction...
Jun, Aizen, Ulquiorra, Byakuya, and Tōshirō were all present. It was also observed that Tōshirō and Byakuya had their Hollowfication Mask Fusion, but it wasn't immediately obvious that it was Tōshirō and Byakuya, if one disregarded their abilities.
So, given the strength of these five, and considering the Captain-Commander's previous defeats against Jun and Aizen, how exactly did he manage to turn the tide and reduce a large group of over forty people to just five in less than two years?
With the addition of Uryū and Orihime, along with the five members of the Sternritter, Lord Nobunaga, Baraggan, and Szayelaporro, and the two ancient beings Arturo and Zegrod, there are a total of 47 people, almost fifty. Moreover, less than five of them are not at the critical strength level.
Then Byakuya and Tōshirō joined this side, so wouldn't the other captains also have a chance? That would expand the scale even further, and then they'd all be gone? This situation is unbelievable.
So people didn't pay too much attention, but they did know that the Steins;Gate ability, because it has no cost, is incredibly powerful. The origin of the ability's name is generally clear: it comes from a famous anime series.
Therefore, this ability to predict the future is not prediction, but selection! The future seen through Steins;Gate is inevitable; it's a choice of a world line. Once this door is opened, the future will definitely be that way. There's only one possible change: pure suicide.
However, if you lack ability, you can use other abilities to solve the problem. Nothing is absolutely absolute. What is absolute in Chun's case may not be so in other people's cases.
As Jun swaggered out, the Thirteenth Division immediately reacted, with all of its captains and acting captains appearing. However, compared to Jun's group, their display was rather meager.
"I'm not here to fight. Where's the Captain-Commander? Don't tell me about the Central 46; they disappeared the moment I showed up."
"Jun Shimizu! What exactly do you want?!" Sajin Komamura had guts; even when no one else spoke, he dared to stand up.
"Negotiation"
"Then what?"
"Change Soul Society"
How to change it?
"Haven't you all read my book? Do you think those good-for-nothings could have found the secret room my disciple set up? I had Kūkaku expose the secret room, otherwise they would never have found it in their entire lives! So what else do you want me to say?"
Sajin Komamura was speechless, and then he made a surprising move: he made way.
Junya stopped the people behind him. "Aizen-senpai, Ulquiorra, Nel, Haschwalth, and Lord Nobunaga, the five of you come with me. The rest of you may move within the Gotei 13's territory, but you are not allowed to make a move, at least not until I announce that you are to make a move."
"Learn!"
"Great, let's go."
The six-man squad, led by Chun, weaved through the ranks of hundreds of Soul Reaper and arrived directly at the entrance of the First Division.
"Stop!" Kensei Muguruma and Love Aikawa jumped out.
"Aren't you two annoying? Is this the place for you to talk? Get out of here!"
However, both of them remained firm in their stance. "No one is allowed to enter!"
"Then we won't go in, it's pointless anyway," Jun said, glancing at Aizen and Nobunaga.
Aizen smiled dismissively, "That Old Man Yamamoto isn't inside."
"I think so too. The power inside is too weak. That old man you sensed is definitely not here," Nobunaga Oda said, completely disregarding the two people in front of him.
"You!"
"Let's go find Kisuke Urahara first," Jun said, ignoring the two of them, and immediately put on his Hollowfication Mask, unleashing a massive amount of Spiritual Power. "Kisuke Urahara!! You get out here!"
There was no response. Aizen frowned. "Something's wrong. Urahara isn't in Seireitei."
"The Maggot’s Nest and the Muken have not yet been inspected."
Do you think Urahara would be in a place like that?
"Tsk~ It would be troublesome if they weren't here."
Both Jun and Aizen were having a headache, because the more things went this way, the more it proved the correctness of Jun's prediction.
"You two go check if Muken Urahara!"
However, Kensei Muguruma and Love Aikawa were merely wary of Jun, while Aizen coldly snorted, "What's the point of talking to this bunch of idiots!? You're wasting your time here at a time like this?"
"Let's go!"
"Stop!"
However, just as the two finished shouting, Aizen turned around and glared at them. Kensei Muguruma and Love Aikawa froze on the spot. Jun quickly returned to the group, and at this moment, Tōshirō, Soi Fon, and Sōjun also appeared.
"Team leader!"
"Oh, Tōshirō, I don't have time to catch up with you right now. Things are a bit complicated. Just come with me."
"Good!"
Sōjun, and then Byakuya followed. Suddenly, Sou, Lisa Yadōmaru, and the Nanao sisters appeared out of nowhere, Kenpachi Zaraki also caught up.
Junichi walked out, he asked, "Soi Fon, do you know if you touched their cannons when you raided the Shiba Clan's house?"
"No, they left immediately after obtaining the treasure."
"That's good"
The group left Seireitei and quickly arrived at the Shiba Clan's address, where they found Kūkaku, and Shiba Miyako Ganju.
"Shimizu -sensei! My older brother has been transferred to the First Division!"
"There's no time now. Don't worry, Kaien will be fine. Otherwise, why would she let you go?" Chun led his men downstairs. "Could you take all these people to the Soul King Palace?"
"Teacher, what are you going to do?!"
"I have something very important to do! There's no time to explain, hurry!"
"Understood! Leave it to me, but there are too many of you. I can only transport a maximum of ten people at a time."
Kūkaku kicked Ganju immediately ran to get the Spirit Pearl Core; without it, one couldn't enter the Soul King Palace.
"Zegrod, Arturo, Oka, Kuruyashiki, the four of you come with us. The rest of you can form your own teams!"
Four more followed, making a total of ten. Everything proceeded smoothly and quickly. Kūkaku was the first to prepare for launch, then activated the Spirit Pearl Core to envelop the ten people, instantly sending them into the sky.
"An interesting mode of transportation; Soul King Palace in the sky?"
"Yes, and you can't see the whole thing unless you get very close."
"That's interesting."
Nobunaga Oda touched the outer wall of the Spirit Pearl Core. "Isn't this just high-density Reishi? We can make that ourselves."
"That's right, but doing this and then flying up from below is incredibly energy-consuming, because we have to squeeze in through the protective shield, and our speed can't be slow."
"Hmm, I see. Consumption is indeed a problem, but there are so many of us."
Chun shook his head. "That's not how it works. The Soul King Palace has 72 layers of barriers. With our method of breaking in, 72 layers of shields wouldn't be enough."
"Oh, I see. That does seem a bit troublesome. Oh, I see."
Among the crowd were those who had seen it even before Nobunaga Oda. Everyone gazed at the approaching Soul King Palace, marveling at its immense size.
"Its total area is even larger than Las Noches!"
"Yes, it's only slightly smaller than Seireitei."
"Is the Soul King in that cylindrical palace?"
"Right"
"How did you know, Chun?"
"You guess?"
I won't guess.
Even though the group knew about Chun's prophecy, they weren't nervous at all. Battles were like this anyway, so they just fought. Whether they were afraid or not, they still had to fight, right?
Finally, the Spirit Pearl Core began to make contact with the barrier. There were a total of 72 layers of barriers Soul King Palace, but the Spirit Pearl Core had no problem with them. This was because the Spirit Pearl Core had the right of way to pass through the Soul King Palace. As long as the protective shield was activated, it could continue to break through without requiring too much energy.
The shield of the Spirit Pearl Core shattered; this was the effect of fully entering the Soul King Palace, just like breaking into the Seireitei. The shield would shatter once one entered.
Normally, the first place they would enter would be the Kirinden, guarded by Tenjirō Kirinji. However, now there is only one person in front of them: Yamamoto Genryūsai. But this Old Man Yamamoto is somewhat different from the one before.
"Is it even possible to stop the people behind us from coming up now?" Chun asked, somewhat helplessly.
"Can't get in touch, let's fight," Aizen actually tried it, "Your prophecy is about to come true."
"Oh! A monster Transcendent Level of the ordinary?" Lord Nobunaga chuckled. "Won't it be captured by the Gates of Hell?"
"The Soul Society and the Gates of Hell seem incompatible."
"Wow! The Soul King did have a slip-up after all. This is troublesome."
"I knew it, nothing good would come of leaving the sea," Zegrod, counting on his knuckles.
Arturo drew his sword with a flourish, "This reminds me of thousands of years ago, it's so frustrating!"
Oka narrowed his eyes. "So, if we don't touch him, there won't be any problems?"
However, no sooner had Oka finished speaking than the Old Man Yamamoto drew his sword, followed by a sea of fire that instantly destroyed the entire Kirinden building.
"There's nothing more to say now, let's go!" Chun drew his Non-Aggression Mace, his Hollowfication Mask Fusion without reservation, "Use force to stop war!!"
A golden wave of light shot towards Old Man Yamamoto, and simultaneously, nine other attacks from nine different directions, each with equal power, appeared simultaneously—once again! The battle against a monster of the Transcendent Level!
