Chapter 431
She said to Kiana, "Captain-Commander... would like to see you."
"It's okay." Kiana didn't have any objections.
In this respect, she is quite easygoing.
Speaking of which...
The entire Soul Society is in a state of busy warfare.
Even though it's obvious at a glance that Kiana isn't a Shinigami from Soul Society, nor is she anyone from Rukongai outside the city.
But she had Soifon by her side to guide her.
The others just glanced at it out of curiosity, not having time to think much about it. They went about their business as usual, and nothing unexpected happened.
As Soifon walked, she explained more and more to Kiana about the current situation in the Soul Society.
Although the fact that the Wandenreich exists in the shadows of Soul Society has not been directly revealed.
However, under a different pretext, Old Man Yamamoto activated the war preparation mode and organized an advance team to probe the Wandenreich with the help of the Science and Technology Bureau.
And naturally.
The members of those advance teams were all captains and vice-captains, all of them elites.
Meanwhile, the Wandenreich exists in the shadow of Soul Society.
The Wandenreich can easily invade Soul Society.
They can also easily invade the Soul Society.
Moreover, both sides are equally capable of both offense and defense, as if taking a step forward is the battlefield, and taking a step back is enough to return to safety.
That's convenient.
You could say that.
Currently, the Soul Society has the upper hand.
The advantage that the Wandenreich in the Original Work has now become the advantage of the Soul Society.
Offensive and defensive variants.
Everything fell into place naturally.
Soifon tells Kiana.
She was supposed to join the advance team to attack the Wandenreich as well.
However, since Kiana was coming, and she was key to receiving Kiana, she was left behind.
After all.
Even with all that prior intelligence, Old Man Yamamoto knew that Yhwach's return was probably something that couldn't be prevented.
If Yhwach were so easily destroyed and stopped, he wouldn't have merely forced his opponent to retreat a thousand years ago.
They had already eliminated the enemy.
Although I'm reluctant to admit it.
But Yhwach's abilities were indeed omniscient and omnipotent.
Once the other party has seen the future, it is almost certain to happen.
In other words, Soifon joined the chat group, thus escaping the trajectory of the world and becoming invisible to the other party.
It was thanks to Soifon's presence that Soul Society was able to organize an offensive and gain the upper hand.
But this is only to a certain extent.
If it is a predetermined trajectory, then it is easy to break.
Yhwach's existence would then no longer be so special.
Even Old Man Yamamoto had to admit that he actually knew, he was very clear that the Quincy would eventually return, and he was also very clear that Yhwach would eventually be resurrected.
Even the Soul Society's repeated sieges against the remaining Quincy were not solely because the Quincy would completely destroy Hollows and disrupt the order of the Three Realms.
On the Soul Society side, it's very clear.
The more Quincy there are, the stronger Yhwach will become when he reclaims his power and extracts their bloodlines.
Since we can't find Yhwach's location.
So, indirectly weaken the number of Quincy, reduce Yhwach, and decrease the extent to which he recovers his strength.
Why not?
So.
Behind many things lies complexity.
In Kiana's view
Most Quincy are actually quite pitiful.
But there's nothing we can do.
Naturally, they took sides, siding with Yhwach.
Yhwach, however, was not the type to compromise; in fact, he was somewhat antisocial and anti-world.
Even in officialdom, choosing the wrong side leads to certain death.
Moreover, what about issues of race?
It's not that Death is petty.
Rather, it's that they simply cannot tolerate Quincy.
Death, Hollows, and humans form a cycle.
But the Quincy are like a potent medicine for a severe illness; they are deformed and abnormal beings.
To put it bluntly...
It shouldn't have existed in the first place.
"Yhwach ... is the son of the King of Souls."
Soifon told Kiana, "Only the Quincy are the race he created. Everything else, including the entire world, was created by the Soul King."
"That's why the Quincy adhere to Yhwach's ideas... and are out of step with the entire world system."
"..."
Really.
Kiana nodded.
This point has been discussed by everyone in the group.
We discussed it during a casual chat.
Indeed.
The Quincy destroyed Hollows and maintained peace in the Present World.
It was a meritorious achievement.
In a broader sense, however, the harm they caused was greater than their merits.
It's like a complete ecosystem, with self-regulating capabilities.
However, after human intervention, the ecosystem is damaged, and the cost of restoring stability is much greater than imagined.
Quincy never cared about any of that.
It's like on the grasslands: I want to protect the rabbits, so I hunt the wolves. But they don't care; if the wolf population decreases and the rabbit population increases, the grasslands will eventually be completely eaten up.
What should we do then?
If we say that Soifon originally had neither ill will nor goodwill toward the Quincy, we can only say that her impression of them was rather neutral.
So!
The more you understand the Quincy, the more you understand Yhwach.
The Soifon dislikes them, the more she hates them.
Therefore, when she talks about these things, she always inadvertently reveals a faint sense of disgust.
Kiana smiled.
Even when Soifon makes a comment, it carries a hint of coquettishness, as if she's complaining about something in a sweet voice.
Soi Soifon looks so cute!
"It's alright, Soifon."
Kiana gently comforted her, "I'm here, I'll help you."
"And although at first glance the world of Bleach seems to form a cyclical system, there are still some minor problems in the end."
"I'll help you solve it too."
"..."
She said it naturally.
In fact, this is not entirely unfounded.
PS1: First update delivered, two more to come, keep it up!
420. Captain-Commander Yamamoto: Soifon? Here you go.
Because.
You'll understand if you think about it carefully.
If the power system and ecosystem of this world were truly perfect, would it still be necessary for the Spirit King, as the creator, to sacrifice himself as a human pillar to stabilize the world?
That's definitely not going to happen.
Right?!
Soifon realized something when she heard Kiana say that.
He nodded thoughtfully.
I think I understand now.
And so we chatted.
Soifon brought Kiana to the First Division.
And finally I met Old Man Yamamoto.
The old man had been waiting for quite some time.
Leaning on a round wooden cane formed from Ryujin Jakka, he scrutinized Kiana with slightly narrowed eyes.
But Kiana showed no fear whatsoever.
Still so relaxed.
It felt like being at home.
She looked left and right, and finally put one hand on her hip and looked at the old man.
A smile and a nod are enough to greet someone.
Old Man Yamamoto opened his eyes slightly in surprise, but his expression softened afterward. He had only glanced at him briefly, but the more he looked, the more alarmed he felt.
It was as if I had seen the Spirit King.
No!
The person in front of me...
Indeed, he is even more terrifying than the Spirit King.
That is a truly sublime status.
This is undoubtedly a magnificent existence.
