At the entrance of the Squad 2 barracks, Tsuna and his group happened to run into Yoruichi.

"Did you bring so many people?" Yoruichi frowned slightly. The Maggots' Nest was no pleasant place; the scene that followed might not be pleasant.

"We've already been warned, so seeing the horrors of the battlefield isn't a bad thing," Tsuna said.

"Oh? Ichigo can accept that too?" Yoruichi looked at Ichigo with a playful expression. She knew very well that among these people, Ichigo was the gentlest to others and the least likely to use force against his enemies.

"What a joke! Since he's a sinner, I won't show him any mercy!" Ichigo's emotions were immediately stirred up, and he loudly declared his determination.

"That's fine, come with me, little ones."

As the former Second Division Captain, Yoruichi naturally knew how to get to the location of the Maggots' Nest. The reason she happened to meet Tsuna and the others before going ahead was because she had made a special trip to Soi Fon's location.

After obtaining the permission token from Soi Fon, Yoruichi used the token to clear the way, leading the group straight into the direction of the Maggots' Nest.

Along the way, apart from a few visible guards still carrying out their duties, the vast majority of the guards had been taken down by Inaba, and now the entire Stealth Force had been dispersed to monitor the nobles.

It's fair to say that the guards at the Maggots' Nest are weaker than ever before. Sure enough, as we approach our destination, we can see several ruthless men dressed in tattered white kimonos kicking and punching the corpses on the ground.

They were venting their anger; these were sinners imprisoned in the Maggots' Nest, and their target was undoubtedly the guards who had been killed.

Yoruichi's expression turned somewhat gloomy. The Maggots' Nest was truly in chaos. Seeing her former subordinates' uniforms being humiliated by these people, Yoruichi quickened her pace.

However, something even faster than Yoruichi appeared. Two beams of light, one red and one blue, swept past Yoruichi and instantly pinned the two sinners to the wall.

It was Uryū and Ichigo. Gentleness doesn't mean they're stupid. Their bodies reacted faster than they could think, sending the two of them on their way with two Spirit Bow and Arrows.

Uryū and Ichigo's attack immediately frightened the remaining two into immobility. Being sinners did not mean they lacked discernment; their ability to kill the two beside them in an instant proved that the Soul Society were far stronger than them.

The two men immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Having survived in this the Maggots' Nest, they no longer cared about their reputation.

"What happened inside!" As Yoruichi spoke, her superior aura immediately pressed down on the two of them. Without even trying to hide anything, they spilled the beans about what had happened in the Maggots' Nest.

Today, a strangely colored guy broke into the Maggots' Nest, carrying a large coffin with him, seemingly there to collect someone's corpse.

Upon entering the Maggots' Nest, this man began a massacre, burning down the only thatched hut the Maggots' Nest and killing countless sinners.

These few, due to their low strength but also their intelligence, happened to survive. They had just escaped the Maggots' Nest and vented their anger on the unreasonable guards when they encountered Yoruichi and her group.

"Looks like it's not too bad." Ignoring the two sinners' gleeful expressions, Yoruichi casually waved her hand, sending them on their way.

Yoruichi led the way into the Maggots' Nest. The two sinners hadn't lied; the Maggots' Nest was no longer as magnificent as it used to be. The hordes of sinners were nowhere to be seen. Instead, a faint aura of death permeated the entire area.

Tsuna and the others' footsteps were quite noticeable in the silent the Maggots' Nest, and Inaba, who was standing in the center of the area with Modified Soul scattered at her feet, immediately noticed their arrival.

"Who is it, then? Wang Shi, you've changed your mind? You want to merge with me, right?"

Inaba ignored everyone else, his Nozomi Kujō. If Nozomi Kujō changed his mind, he wasn't incapable of leaving Soul Society behind.

After all, a king still needs the throne to implement his ideas.

Nozomi Kujō didn't reply; her only response was to draw her Zanpakuto, unleash Retreating Crimson Rain, and point the sword at Inaba.

"Still choose destruction? How foolish."

Tsuna and the others had no interest in listening to Inaba lament about life; as long as they captured him, the matter would be resolved.

Yoruichi appeared in front of Inaba with Shunpo, activated Shunho, and was about to deliver a powerful punch containing spiritual pressure to Inaba.

However, Inaba's expression remained calm. He calmly spun his Zanpakuto, and a black space appeared in front of him. From inside emerged Soi Fon, who had also activated Flash Cry.

The two Flash Cry clashed, and Yoruichi returned to Tsuna and the others amidst the explosion, while Soi Fon, who had suddenly appeared, vanished.

"There's still time before the research is complete, so we can have some fun."

Inaba, carrying his Zanpakuto, stepped forward. Only then did everyone notice a man sitting in a wheelchair behind Inaba, his eyes lifeless.

With dark green hair and a face that Nozomi Kujō Inaba, this person must be Yushima Ōshū, who was locked in the Maggots' Nest by the Central 46.

Having split herself into two parts, Yushima Ōshū is now only a body, devoid of any consciousness, resembling a living dead.

Strange patterns were painted all over Yushima Ōshū's body, stretching to the ground like a huge array. In the center of this array was a coffin, as if some kind of mysterious ritual was being performed.

"Hurry up," Inaba added as she came out.

Behind the coffin, a woman emerged, carrying various bottles and jars, drawing on the ground. Upon hearing Inaba's instructions, she quickly bowed and said...

"Yes, Lord Inaba!" This person looked exactly like Nemu Kurotsuchi, and was undoubtedly a clone of Nemu Kurotsuchi. She was simply Inaba's tool, used to complete the final ritual for Inaba.

"Tatsuki, protect Nozomi Kujō. The rest of you, stop Inaba." Tsuna gave the order. Although he didn't fully understand what Inaba wanted to do, he decided to stop the ritual based on the principle of stopping the enemy from doing what they wanted.

Tsuna and the others immediately scattered, Inaba and there was no way to stop them all at once.

However, Inaba had already anticipated this scenario, and the number of people who came was even less than he had imagined. He had originally planned to take on the entire Gotei 13 by himself.

As the space spun, a massive pink wave surged forth from the space created by Inaba, instantly engulfing Tsuna and the others. The figure that emerged from within was all too familiar to them: Byakuya Kuchiki, the power of Senbonzakura Kageyoshi.

The cherry blossom waves forcefully pushed everyone back, and Byakuya Kuchiki, having unleashed this attack, disappeared from everyone's sight, replaced by the smug Inaba.

"How is it? I suppose you're all ready to face the entire Gotei 13?" Inaba smiled broadly. This was the first time he had smiled since he failed to take Nozomi Kujō. The power of strength is always captivating.

"He can create spatial seals and utilize his opponents' attacks. Before he arrived at the Maggots' Nest, he must have already sealed off all of the Gotei 13's techniques."

Tsuna quickly shared the information, recalling the Inaba attacked him with his own techniques.

Just as Tsuna guessed, Inaba's Zanpakuto sealed a large number of the captains' techniques. Even if they were just clones, the sheer number of them would make them incredibly powerful.

"Tsuna, don't let that sword spin," Tatsuki warned. She was there when Tsuna fought Inaba.

"Yes, that's exactly what I was planning to do." Tsuna switched to the power of the earth attribute, intending to use the gravity of the earth to prevent Inaba from spinning her Zanpakuto.

Just like in the World of the Living, Tsuna used the properties of the Earth Ring to amplify the gravity around Inaba, but Inaba didn't avoid it at all, as if she was deliberately waiting for Tsuna's gravity to amplify it.

"With this level of gravity, even holding a sword is extremely difficult for me." Inaba looked up, Tsuna's gaze directly for the first time, and said, "But as a researcher, you don't think I haven't considered ways to break this, do you?"

The spiritual pressure was transmitted from the palm to the Zanpakuto. Suddenly, spiritual pressure shot out from both ends of Raikou in two directions, and under the propulsion of the spiritual pressure, the Zanpakuto actually started to spin on its own.

Inaba was originally a researcher in the Squad 12. The first lesson they learned was to study their own Zanpakuto. Modifying Zanpakuto was a common practice under the influence of the former and current captains.

Inaba had never modified his Zanpakuto in the past for fear of affecting his Nozomi Kujō.

Upon discovering that Nozomi Kujō was being protected by a powerful enemy he couldn't handle, Inaba indeed modified his Zanpakuto, adding small devices that could emit spiritual pressure to both ends, with the purpose of dealing with Zanpakuto Sawada Tsunayoshi, this formidable foe.

As the air spun, a dark space was carved out. Before anything could be seen, a powerful heat wave swept through every corner of the Maggots' Nest.

"Have you ever witnessed the power of the Captain-Commander? Take this, Great Fire Sword!"

Emerging from the void was none other than Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, wielding a greatsword engulfed in flames. Inaba had sealed Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's Bankai power, and the flames those sinners had seen earlier were likely one of the attacks Inaba to seal Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto emerged from the space like a machine, perfectly executing the actions he had before being sealed away. His Great Fire Sword slashed horizontally, unleashing a terrifying wave of flames.

When anticipating facing the entire Gotei 13, Inaba's sealing techniques became selective, choosing attacks with the widest possible range.

In order to seal Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's attack, Inaba was almost burned to death by the Fake Mountain. Fortunately, it was all worth it. He didn't believe that Bleach could survive such a terrifying attack.

It was during this confident strike that Tsuna's calm voice traveled through the flames to Inaba's ears.

"Come back, all of you, and hide behind me!"

Suddenly, Inaba felt her body lighten, the feeling of gravity disappearing, and correspondingly, the six-pointed star behind Tsuna rotated to a double hexagonal pattern.

Glaciers, the power of freezing.
