A Magical Journey to the Seireitei
"Is this where the bubble fell?" Billy asked, scanning the surroundings with a device.
Accompanied by Tsuna, Billy arrived at the scene of that night, scanning and recording the numbers on the instruments to prevent the Fairy Tale Dragon from affecting the surrounding humans in the future.
"Karakura Town truly lives up to its reputation as a blessed place; such a high concentration of magic has even eliminated the influence of the Fairy Tale Dragon," Billy remarked.
"How does it compare to your London?"
"The magic concentration in London is high enough to cause a smog disaster, don't you think?" No one would say their place is bad, Billy retorted directly.
Without dwelling on the topic, Tsuna wanted to learn more about the more private matters since Tsuna was Noelle's superior.
"I heard from Xinqiao that your literature records the appearance of Fairy Tale Dragon. Does that mean that bubbles can be reborn after they die?"
It was only after Noelle mentioned that the last time they dealt with Bubble, it had taken the entire WB team's strength that Tsuna became curious.
"Sawada- kun, what do you think Fairy Tale Dragon are?" Before Tsuna could answer, Billy continued, "In my opinion, all Fairy Tale Dragon are Dark Dragon. Dark Dragon absorb negative human emotions to grow and eventually destroy the human world."
"The Fairy Tale Dragon is merely a higher-level Dark Dragon. Fairy tales are passed down by word of mouth, so the Fairy Tale Dragon cannot be destroyed. When enough negative emotions of its kind accumulate in human society, the Fairy Tale Dragon will reappear."
"Take bubbles as an example. When people's feelings of unrequited love accumulate to a certain level, the bubbles have the conditions to be reborn."
"The conditions for Fairy Tale Dragon to ascend to immortality are all to make up for the regrets in fairytales, just like bubbles drifting through the world, seeking only true love, just like Cinderella never wanting that moonlit night to end..."
"As long as human society continues to function, the Fairy Tale Dragon can never be completely eradicated. Even though we know they will rise again and again, all we can do is send them back to Hell time and time again."
A wry smile appeared on Billy's face. Wasn't his father, hailed as a hero, earned his reputation through these battles?
If possible, this title of hero can be claimed by whoever wants it...
Hell. Tsuna's expression was a little strange. In other worlds, this word would probably be part of the cycle of reincarnation, but in the world of Bleach, Hell is an existence independent of the Three Worlds.
The true Three Worlds are the World of the Living, Hueco Mundo, and Soul Society. Soul Society is further divided into the West Bureau due to geographical reasons. Hollows destroyed by the Shinigami and the souls of the Bleach will all revolve within these Three Worlds.
Hell, on the other hand, is a region completely independent of this system. It can be said that the Three Worlds were divided by the Soul King, and Hell was already an independent space during the Soul King's time.
After a moment's thought, Tsuna decided to test Billy first, "Mr. Billy, is the Hell you're talking about from Western mythology or the real Hell?"
Tsuna noticed a strange glint in Billy's eyes. Sure enough, the son of a hero knew something.
"It seems Sawada- kun isn't just powerful, he's practically a Hell for sinners!" Billy stubbed out his cigarette and said seriously.
"Our predecessors also considered a way to solve the problem once and for all: to send the Fairy Tale Dragon to Hell and seal them away completely!"
"But unexpectedly, after some time, the Fairy Tale Dragon reappeared, and its strength had become even greater. It was after that that the seniors learned that the space in the West Bureau was not stable, and the Fairy Tale Dragon had taken advantage of this loophole to return to Reverse London."
"It's bad enough that the Fairy Tale Dragon has returned, but it has also brought a whole bunch of messengers from Hell. The gates to London from Hell have been opened, and if they can't be closed, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"After paying a heavy price, the Corner Tip unanimously decided to seek help from the King of the East. Only after the seal containing the King's power was delivered was the breach closed."
"Because that is not the true power of the king, every hundred years the royal palace will send in new power of the king to replace it, in order to maintain the stability of the West Bureau."
Tsuna was shocked by Billy's words. He hadn't expected that a casual question would lead to such a huge revelation. Tsuna was certain that even Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto probably didn't know the details, meaning that WB was directly connected to the Soul King Palace. In this process, what role did the Monk play?
"You mean the King's Seal?"
"Tsuna- kun knows? It's not exactly a secret. It happens once every hundred years, and anyone who pays a little attention can notice it." Billy relit his fire.
Tsuna was somewhat speechless. He hadn't noticed it; he had experienced the loss of the King's Seal.
The transport of the King's Seal was clearly a good thing that promoted exchanges between the East and the West, but Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto gradually abandoned it to some obscure corner. This can only mean that the Soul King Palace was hiding something from Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.
What's the purpose?
Is the goal to completely control the Seireitei by rendering them foolish? Or is it to avoid seeing West Bureau join forces and cooperate?
Tsuna scratched his head, feeling a bit of a headache. He hated this kind of scheming the most; he wished that cunning merchant Urahara were there.
At the Urahara Shop, Urahara Kisuke, who was setting up Reishi conversion device, sneezed.
The next day, Tsuna brought four people to Urahara Shop. In addition to the three magicians from the West Bureau, there was also Nel, who had regained her mature woman form.
It turns out that after the group action that night, Kyōraku, as the new leader of the Seireitei, visited the Kurosaki Residence and, unsurprisingly, encountered Nel, who was in the form of a loli.
Kyōraku learns from Nel that she has many new ideas about Hueco Mundo's discovery, and that she is fiercely opposed to evil, aiming to lead Hueco Mundo onto a new path.
At that time, Kyōraku had a new idea. He didn't want to limit the Inquisition to the Soul Society; the restrictions on users of supernatural powers should be extended to all Three Worlds.
So Kyōraku invited Nel to join the Tribunal, and Nel readily agreed. Why wouldn't Nel want a place where she could try out her ideas?
However, Nel didn't immediately return to Soul Society with Kyōraku. She spent several days packing up all the books she thought might be useful. This is why she transformed back into her mature, older sister form. She carried a large bundle on her back, filled with books.
Besides Nel, Kyōraku also invited Ginjo and Tsukishima. To some extent, these two were also people who had been persecuted by the powerful and wealthy, and they had also formed the Xcution organization in the World of the Living. They could be completely entrusted with the management of the World of the Living.
However, Ginjo was deeply hurt by the Yuko-chan incident, and with the legend of a human-dragon romance spreading in Seireitei, it was impossible for Ginjo to go to Soul Society anytime soon, no matter what Kyōraku said.
Needless to say, Tsukishima listens to Ginjo completely; if Ginjo doesn't go, he won't go to Soul Society either.
Therefore, Tsuna's only entourage this time consisted of the Magicians and Nel.
"Amazing, a humanoid dragon, this is the first time I've ever seen one." Billy exclaimed in surprise, looking at Nel who had already become friends with Nini and Noelle.
"Not even in legends?"
After the Fairy Tale Dragon incident, Tsuna became curious about the various legends left behind in Reverse London. Nowadays, people can rely on legends to defeat powerful Fairy Tale Dragon, which is a rare occurrence in Seireitei.
Within the Seireitei, the only entities capable of presenting legends are Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and the Great Spirit Library Corridor. The former, believing himself to be incredibly powerful and invincible, naturally wouldn't spread any dubious rumors. The latter, held by a former high-ranking noble, was simply beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Legend has it that if a dragon devours Magicians, it can gain the Magicians's power and a new form, but no one has ever succeeded," Billy said with a shrug, unconcerned.
Tsuna took this to heart. If dragons and Hollows are equated, does a dragon devouring Magicians equate to a Hollow becoming a Bleach? Nel's current form is only fully human after Aizen's intervention.
As they spoke, the Senkaimon and Reishi conversion device were fully activated, Urahara Kisuke walked out with a smile, "Alright, friends, you can begin your journey through Seireitei."
Seeing Billy staring intently at him, Urahara Kisuke asked curiously, "Is there something strange about my face?"
"No, I'm just curious if all technicians have this kind of expression. Our elusive Development Squad leader looks like that too," Billy said, finding it somewhat amusing.
"What kind of expression is that? A shrewd businessman?"
"Yes! He has a treacherous look on his face."
Billy gave a thumbs up, not caring at all about joking on someone else's turf. When he saw Urahara Kisuke's face twitch slightly, he took a coin out of his pocket and flicked it at Urahara Kisuke.
Urahara took the coin, which had a shield emblem symbolizing WB on it.
"Consider this my apology. I noticed just now that your door and our coin are similar in function; both are keys to the inner world," Billy said, pointing to the Reishi Converter.
Urahara Kisuke understood. This coin was also a device that could convert a human body into a spirit. The three Magicians present were all human, and Reverse London was in Soul Society. To go to Reverse London, they would definitely have to convert their bodies into spirits first.
The technology on this coin is more advanced and sophisticated than that on Urahara Kisuke, all of which has been condensed into a single coin. This is certainly beneficial for Urahara's improvement efforts.
"Thank you very much."
Urahara Kisuke is becoming increasingly interested in the West Bureau. It's not that his skills are necessarily worse than West Bureau's; it's just that their focuses are completely different.
The technology of the West Bureau is designed to serve humanity, so the tools used to travel between Outer and Reverse London would certainly be more advanced than those used by Urahara.
Urahara himself is a spirit, so he doesn't need to transform to enter Soul Society directly. In this respect alone, he is at a disadvantage.
But thinking about the Wandenreich that hadn't been found yet, Urahara couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. He had to completely solve the problem before he could have the opportunity to travel to the West.
