Because Jun sounded very dangerous, Ulquiorra stepped in front of Orihime, and the two of them came to Jun's side, waiting for Jun's instructions.
"I've told the story of the Soul King many times, but there are still some people here who haven't heard it, so I'll just repeat it briefly."
"In order to seal away those transcendent beings from mythology, the Soul King wiped out Spiritual Power of the Hell world. Then, a dozen or so Critical Level powerhouses from the Soul Reaper and Arrancar sides sacrificed themselves to form the current Hell seal."
"To prevent another mythological war, the Soul King established the Gates of Hell system. If a Dead Souls's initial power is too strong, and Dead Souls form is already capable of being defeated, then that Dead Souls will be dragged into Hell."
"These powerful souls were far too strong, and their talents were terrifyingly Kongbu. The Soul King worried that they might escape from Hell, so he severed all connections between Hell and the afterlife. In the end, he found that this was impossible due to the nature of the worlds themselves, and he could only leave one connection."
"But he immediately thought of an alternative. He erased this only world connected to Hell to a very, very small area, making it a guardhouse for Hell, and leaving behind a guard, who was this Arturo."
"Then the Soul King left a second layer of protection: he completely Spiritual Power Erasure from the only world connected to this guardhouse. Furthermore, the Soul King seems to possess the technology to expand or shrink the size of the afterlife, though this remains unknown."
"But the Soul King overlooked one thing, or rather, he was powerless and didn't have enough powerful figures to sacrifice again, so he couldn't create another Hell. Therefore, the last one—no, no, this is the second to last one—the world that was completely wiped out was enormous."
"In the end, the Soul King erased another world and changed the form of both worlds, completely enveloping one world in the other. This is the relationship between the Dangai and the Soul Society."
"Then, to prove these points, Uryū, come here."
Uryū walked over. "Is there something you need?"
"You use all your strength to erase a piece of this platform, I want a pit, don't let it disappear completely."
"OK"
Uryū immediately followed Jun's instructions and wiped out a large area of territory without any guilt. Although he had died once before due to the Spiritual Power Erasure, this time, with Orihime present, Orihime immediately deployed her Sōten Kisshun to treat Uryū's Silver Blood.
No one knew what Jun was doing. Jun then looked at the four Zero Division members who had arrived after her, "It's been over two years, Kirinji-san and Nimaiya-san, Hikifune- nee, and Senjumaru Shutara -san whom I've never seen before."
"Jun~", Kirio Hikifune looked at Jun with a rather complicated expression, while the others didn't give her a pleasant look.
"What the hell are you doing!?" Tenjirō Kirinji and Jun were probably closer, at least closer than the other two.
"Let's do something fun. Kirinji-san and Nimaiya-san, do you remember what happened two years ago when we repaired the Eighth Division's backyard?"
"Of course I remember, so what?"
Who disposed of the items you retrieved from there?
Ōetsu Nimaiya frowned. "You mean there's some secret there?"
"It seems the two of you didn't actually deal with those soil samples. Just as I expected, only one person dealt with them: this monk. The excuse was relatively simple: the will of the Soul King."
The four members of the Zero Division frowned in unison. Tenjirō Kirinji said, "That's true. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, everyone. Please lower your Reiatsu a bit. Some of the little cuties can't handle too much Reiatsu." Jun entered the pit created by Uryū, carefully exploring it, and then scooped up a tiny bit of soil.
Chun released a bead, and the magnifying glass magnified the situation in the soil again and again. Finally, everyone gasped in surprise, just as Isuzu had been when she saw the Kōtotsu in the soil. Among them, Old Man Yamamoto was the most surprised.
"Got a good look? Then I'll kill it," Chun said, killing the Kōtotsu. Pointing into the tunnel, he added, "There are many more Kōtotsu here. You can raise them if you want, or wipe them all out if you want. That's none of my business."
"I'm doing this for only one purpose: to tell you the truth of what I'm saying! Listen carefully! This is a truth I've repeated countless times! The Soul King is a Quincy!"
Old Man Yamamoto's hands were nearly broken from his own grip. He was the one who couldn't accept this the most, because the reason he chose to become Transcendent Level was because he was a Soul Reaper supporter of Shinigami supremacy. He had only one goal: to ensure that the Soul Society consisted solely of Soul Reaper.
However, Captain-Commander continued his taunts, "I never imagined that the most important being you were meant to protect, your Heartspirit anchor, the creator and guardian of Soul Society, the only god of Soul Society, would be a Quincy!"
"You!" Old Man Yamamoto was so angry he couldn't speak.
Chun gave a light snort, "Now, anyone who has questions about the Soul King's identity can raise them. If no one does, I'll continue."
"It seems not. Then let's learn about another fact: the Quincy's ability to erase Reishi comes with huge side effects, Uryū!"
Uryū opened his palm, revealing the silver blood within. This Silver Blood was so potent that Orihime's power could not restore it; it could only be forced out of his body.
"See that? This silver blood. That's the aftereffect of Quincy using their Spiritual Power Erasure. And it's so powerful that even Orihime's abilities are powerless against it! Orihime's ability is to resist changes in things, not simply to heal, but she can't turn this Silver Blood back into normal blood!"
"I suspect this is the price of Spiritual Power Erasure; no ability to use Spiritual Power can offset this price. Of course, this is just my guess. So the question is, how did the Soul King erase three, or perhaps four, worlds?"
In an instant, everyone's gaze fell upon Orihime, and Arturo suddenly realized, "I know, the woman accompanying the Son of Heaven, I remember her name is Empress."
"Oh? So there really is such a person? The Son of Son of Heaven that Arturo spoke of is Soul King, then is this Queen of Heaven Soul King's wife?"
"Then I wouldn't know."
Arturo couldn't get any other information. On the other side, Uryū and Orihime exchanged a glance. Orihime suddenly blushed. It wasn't that she had suddenly fallen for Uryū, but what they had just said made her feel a little strange. Uryū felt the same way.
At this moment, Ichimonji, Yamo, Yoruichi returned, along with the extremely embarrassed Shopkeeper.
"Haha, I really embarrassed myself this time. Sorry, Jun, I even had to ask you to save me. It seems I should apologize to Aizen- san too."
"You're apologizing to me? Well, I'll accept it, hahaha."
The Shopkeeper wasn't as vengeful as Aizen. He looked at the restrained Ichibē Hyōsube, "I never thought you'd end up like this, monk. Ichimonji- san, please strip me of my monk's name."
"Good"
Ichibē Hyōsube looked at Ichimonji in horror, but Ichimonji wouldn't stop just because of him, and proceeded to wipe the monk clean.
Yamo asked blankly, "Then what new name should I write for him?"
"No need," Shopkeeper said once, then the two smiled at each other.
The Shopkeeper explained, "The monk has a special ability: if someone calls his name after he dies, he will be resurrected. I lost because I was tricked by this. Should we kill him now?"
The main character here is Jun, and the Shopkeeper isn't here to steal the spotlight. Jun shook her head, "Killing him won't do; I still want to get some things back from him."
"Now, let's continue. We know that the Soul King is Quincy, that he erased four worlds, and that he has a queen who can cure the aftereffects of his Silver Blood. But as you all saw just now, didn't you think that speed was too slow? At this rate, the task of erasing four worlds would probably take thousands of years to complete."
"But Soul King completed this task in just a few decades, so I speculate that this ability, Orihime's ability to resist reality and change, has undergone an even more powerful advancement, but she didn't."
Orihime was surprised. She looked at Ichibē Hyōsube, "Could it be..."
"My guess is this: your power resides within this guy. Now, enter your Inner World, and together with your Shun Shun Rikka! Reclaim your power from this guy!"
"But wait a minute. First, you need to figure out what this guy's true power is. He's a despicable thief; his abilities are stolen and robbed. And the final double flower of your Shun Shun Rikka was very likely stolen by his true power."
"So this guy's power in the Inner World is probably quite formidable. But with so many of us here, why don't you pick a few to accompany you and help us kill him?"
"Okay!" Orihime nodded. "Then please, Ulquiorra, Ichigo, Rukia, Sado, Uryū, the six of us should be enough!"
"Leave it to me!!" Ichigo never hesitated to help his friends.
"I will help you regain your power!" Rukia echoed.
"Yeah, me too," Sado nodded.
Uryū pushed up his glasses. "Don't worry, we're all very capable."
"I will protect you," Ulquiorra said, embracing Orihime.
Junya, now free of State of Mind Hand Bead, "Go in when you're ready. We'll be waiting for your good news."
The group entered the Inner World to engage in battle, leaving those outside somewhat awkward. However, after Jun and Aizen found the Shopkeeper and started chatting, the others began whispering among themselves, mostly discussing the many secrets Junichi had revealed earlier.
However, this time the situation was beyond Jun's expectations. The battle of consciousness did not last long. Ichibē Hyōsube suddenly died, and Orihime six also woke up.
"Dead!?"
"Looks like it!"
Before Jun could even observe, several soul fluctuations detached from Ichibē Hyōsube's body, then shattered and dissipated into the air.
"It seems this thief stole more than one power, but it's been too long, so we have no way of knowing exactly how many he stole," Chun clapped his hands. "Alright, now Orihime, show us what your ultimate ability really is."
"Yes, first is the Five-Day Ten-Blade Shields."
The massive, pure gold pentagram shield, under Orihime's control, suddenly transformed into a pyramid shape and could even expand.
"The effect of the Five-Day Ten-Blade Shields is to dispel all falsehood; all pretense and deception will vanish beneath its shield."
"Oh ho~, senior is your natural counter!"
"Ah, 'Kyōka Suigetsu' won't work anymore; I just used my power on you."
"Huh? I haven't seen your Shikai."
"Those who have found my solution no longer need Shikai."
"Holy crap!"
Aizen a disdainful smile, while Jun was quite annoyed.
Orihime retrieved the Five-Day Ten-Blade Shield, "Then the Rokutenhara Shield!"
Shun Shun Rikka transformed into a regular octahedron. This time, no explanation was needed, because the Spiritual Power consumed by everyone within its embrace vanished instantly. While the pure energy expenditure was minimal, the most Kongbu aspect was Aizen's discovery.
My "Kyōka Suigetsu" is fixed.
