Inside the restored Soul King Palace, four grand halls spiral around the Soul King's Inner Palace. The newly rebuilt 'Hundred Refinements Divine Hall' is Kisuke Urahara's sleeping quarters.
At that moment, Kisuke Urahara, who was in the 'Hundred Refinements Divine Hall' researching how to strengthen the Seventy-Two Layers of Barriers into One Hundred and Eight Layers, received a message from Kisuke Urahara in the World of the Living Yoruichi.
Urahara and Yoruichi were sworn brothers. Yoruichi disregarded her status to become friends with Urahara and continued to promote Urahara. When Urahara was framed and at a loss, it was Yoruichi who saved him.
The message is concise: How to suppress Quincy's severe Hollowfication?
Urahara secretly wondered, 'Quincy Hollowfication? Something must have happened to make Yoruichi so nervous!'
Before Urahara reply, a familiar figure appeared inside the Hundred Refinements Divine Hall, staring at Urahara with wide eyes and laughing, "Oh, still researching barriers with mechanisms? Newcomers are so diligent, it really puts this old man to shame!"
"Chief of the Hyosube is joking! You are all busy repairing the various formations in the Soul King Palace, much busier than I am."
All members of the Zero Division are Captains, and on the surface they are all equals, but the Monk is the leader. Therefore, Urahara would not call him by his name directly. The nickname "Monk of the Eye" is something only the Soul King can use. So the other members of the Zero Division call the Monk "Chief".
"Is there something you need for my sudden visit, Chief?" Urahara changed the subject.
The Monk, with a stern face, said, "Soul King already foresaw what you intend to do, but he did not authorize me to stop you..."
Urahara chuckled awkwardly; it was rather embarrassing that his superiors found out before anything even started.
According to the rules of the Soul King Palace, he should not directly interfere in matters of the World of the Living. Allowing him to establish Monitoring Station in the World of the Living already constitutes overstepping his authority.
Normally, the Soul Society is responsible for monitoring and managing the organization. Hierarchy their Court Guard Squads of the Soul Society feel insulted, as if they weren't doing anything.
Urahara also sincerely apologized. "I'm very sorry, and I know that the Zero Division shouldn't have directly interfered in the World of the Living, but in order to ensure that enemies of that level don't appear again, I felt we should..."
I understand what you mean.
Before Urahara could launch into a long explanation, the Monk waved his hand, interrupting him. "I've come to tell you that Soul King has granted you permission to act, and if necessary, even allows you to leave the Soul King Palace!"
After the Monk finished speaking, he disappeared on the spot; he had already returned to the Soul King's Inner Palace.
Urahara walked toward a room with a headache, where a special Video Communication Spirit Device was set up, which could more effectively direct Yoruichi and the others on what to do.
In the World of the Living Black Cat Store, Masaki has been placed in a simple room, which contains only a tatami mat on the floor and a large screen hanging on the wall.
Several people appeared in the room. Yoruichi, Hiyori, and Love were all there, while Tessai Tsukabishi was busy fiddling with something, Isshin to explain to the people in the room why Masaki Kurosaki was infected.
The more he spoke, the more Ryūken, who was waiting quietly outside the door, regretted not stopping Masaki from going out to save the Soul Reaper.
However, what's done is done. When Ryūsaki said there was nothing he could do, Masaki's Hollowfication worsened, and Ryūken could only temporarily believe that these Soul Reaper could save Masaki.
Upon hearing about Masaki's situation, Hiyori and Love felt that it was very similar to their own Hollowfication, except that Aizen, the culprit who framed them, was said to have died in Las Noches.
Hiyori felt that this situation had occurred again, which was truly baffling...
Beep beep!
"It's finally here."
The large screen, which had been off, suddenly displayed a signal requesting contact, and Yoruichi was overjoyed.
"Oh my, Hiyori's here too? Hikifune- san missed you so much! And Love is here too! Oh, and Mr. Isshin too, how is everyone?"
"Okay my foot! Stop talking nonsense and teach us how to save people first!"
Urahara's opening ramblings prompted Isshin, who was eager to speak, to interrupt him.
Urahara, unperturbed by the interruption, said with a determined look, "Mr. Isshin, I know you're in a hurry, but please be patient and let me finish."
"I've already learned about the situation from Yoruichi's message. This isn't the first time Soul Reaper Hollowfication, or even Hollowfied have become Soul Reaper."
"The purpose of Hollowfication is to elevate the soul, but this technology is uncontrollable and can easily cause the soul to involuntarily commit suicide, or collapse due to its inability to withstand higher dimensions..."
"Get to the point, how can we help her recover?" Ryūken finally came in from outside, interrupting impatiently.
"That's right, I've heard about what happened before. Didn't Captain Hirako manage to save them too?" Isshin chimed in.
"That's where the problem lies. She's Quincy, while Captain Hirako and Hiyori are Soul Reaper. I used the opposite power to inject into Hirako others to stop their Hollowfication."
Unperturbed by the interruption, Urahara continued, "For example, the opposite of Soul Reaper is Quincy, and the opposite of Hollows is humanity."
"The method to suppress the Hollowfication of Soul Reaper is to inject Reishi drug made from Quincy Reishi Arrows and human souls into the Soul Reaper's body. So, what is the method to stop the Hollowfication of Quincy?"
Urahara's question made Ryūken's clenched fist tremble slightly; he had already grasped a bit of what Urahara meant. But someone like Isshin, who wasn't good at academic discussions, still didn't understand what was going on.
"Mr. Urahara!" Isshin shouted. "I don't understand at all! Just tell me what to do!"
On the screen, Urahara gave him a meaningful look and said, "Now that Masaki- san is a fusion of Quincy and Hollow, an opposing force is needed to intervene in her body to maintain the balance of power within her."
"The opposing forces between Hollows and Quincy are naturally humans and Soul Reaper... By intervening in her body with the power of humans and Soul Reaper, we can suppress the Hollow's power, creating a balance point that prevents the Hollowfication from deepening further."
"Impossible, doesn't that mean only you Soul Reaper can save Masaki?" The clever Ryūken had already figured out the problem.
"You are very smart, but the choice is not in your hands, but in the hands of Soul Reaper."
"Mr. Urahara, do you need my power to save her? Then let's get started!"
Urahara and Ryūken's conversation had helped Isshin understand how to save people, and he couldn't wait to speak up.
Hiyori and Love exchanged a glance, knowing they were powerless to help; putting aside the fact that they were complete strangers, the fact that they still had Hollows within them meant they were not pure Soul Reaper at all.
Yoruichi is an option, but with her arms crossed and an air of certainty that someone else will handle it, Quincy who might even be an enemy.
"Mr. Isshin, are you sure?"
Urahara felt it necessary to explain the stakes, "If you choose to save her with your own power, then you will need to protect her until her life as a human ends, during which time you will not be able to regain your power..."
Upon hearing this, Isshin hand, indicating that Urahara didn't need to say anything more. He said almost without hesitation, "It was because of me that she was put in such danger. I can't turn a blind eye when my benefactor is in danger. Even if you put it another way, aren't Soul Reaper) meant to protect humanity?"
"It's just losing power, it's not the first time. I'm prepared, let's not waste any more time."
Yoruichi and the others all showed expressions of understanding. It was normal for this man, who was willing to give up everything to protect Soul Society, to make such a decision.
Only Ryūken was filled with disbelief. How could a despicable Soul Reaper give up his power to save the Quincy? He couldn't understand it.
Urahara didn't waste any words and directly had Yoruichi bring out the specially made Gigai that he had prepared beforehand, so that Isshin could put it on.
The artificial body originally intended to help Isshin quickly regain his Gigai was placed in a box by Yoruichi.
The specially made Gigai was created from a human soul. After Isshin merged with it, and with guidance from Urahara and assistance from Yoruichi and others, Isshin's power was finally transferred into Masaki's body...
Isshin formed from Reiryoku forcibly awakened Masaki from the depths of her heart, and then the two of them sealed away the White within her body.
"Has Kisuke Urahara intervened? It seems there are no surprises; this is probably the best course of action at present."
"Ryūsaki, who is this Kisuke Urahara?"
"He's scary, bro. If you don't want your every move to be monitored, you'd better stay away from him."
"I would have persuaded my mother to move even without you saying so, because of Masaki, this place has been exposed..."
After hanging up the call with Ryūken, Ryūsaki secretly breathed a sigh of relief... It was also his fault. If he hadn't used Isshin Shiba to test White's combat power, Masaki wouldn't have been infected. He still felt a little guilty.
"Ryūsaki, Lord Aizen wants to see you."
"Is he back? He must have made some gains again."
At that moment, Aura, who had returned from Hueco Mundo, arrived with an Aizen to see Ryūsaki.
As far as Ryūsaki knows, Aizen has recently been training in the deepest part of Hell, where there are some powerful Togabito who refuse to submit, which he can use as practice tools.
