"Ah, Captain Aizen Squad, it seems quite a major civil war has broken out here!"
As that flippant voice slowly fell over the scene, within the vast underground space, now reduced to ruins, a silver-haired figure swayed slightly as he slowly emerged from a shadowy entrance before everyone.
"Tap!" "Tap!" "Tap!"...
He walked forward at an unhurried pace, his footsteps ringing out in a distinct rhythm, a foxlike smile on his face.
His narrowed eyes opened by the slightest sliver, emitting a blue glow as they calmly surveyed the wreckage before him. The corner of his mouth curled up, as though he found the scene exceedingly interesting.

He slowly rose to his feet, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly on his pale face. His eyes lowered as he chuckled hoarsely.
"What timely arrival... It seems... I won't need to act..."
At the same time, Nawaki, standing in the middle of the area, turned toward the newcomer upon hearing that frivolous laugh.
Yet when his gaze passed over the newcomer and he saw the figure slowly emerging from the shadows behind him, he froze completely!
Gin stood there like a fox watching a good show, a strange smile on his face as he lightly stepped aside.

"Tap!" "Tap!" "Tap!"...
Accompanied by soft footsteps, a tall figure slowly appeared on the scene.
A tranquil smile rested on the newcomer's lips. His deep eyes seemed capable of embracing everything as he looked at Nawaki with a smile, approaching him step by step.
Nawaki's entire body trembled slightly. He could barely control the excitement on his face, tears glimmering faintly in his eyes
