Alice used a great deal of strength to draw the bow, because there were no Reishi in this world, so she could only use her own Reiatsu.

This moment seemed to last an eternity, as if time itself had frozen.

The Reishi Arrow flew towards the Yamabuki Chidori, Alice felt that the Reishi Arrow was flying very slowly, whether it was her imagination or not.

Yamabuki Chidori grabbed the Reishi Arrow and swallowed it whole. "Thanks for the rocket, little sister! Two more, please!"

Devouring Reishi? What kind of monster is this? Alice tried to draw the bow a second time, but her arm made an ominous snapping sound, like frozen flesh being smashed open by a sledgehammer.

"Oh no! Your Majesty, I... I can't stay by your side any longer!" Alice couldn't even close her eyes; it was too cold. Her Reiatsu continued to gather, eventually coalescing into an arrow. This must be the last arrow she ever shot in her life, right?

Alice pushed her Blut Vene to its limit and fired the arrow before her entire body was completely frozen. However, at that very moment, the Extreme Cold World suddenly vanished, and the two returned to the Quincy Palace.

"It's so cold, so cold! I can't stand it anymore, I want to turn back!" Yamabuki Chidori kept rubbing her hands together.

He reclaimed his Small World, but the power of the Book of Creation's rules remained.

One of the four rules Alice previously set was that "the attack of the one who uses force will fall back on themselves."

"Puff!"

Under the influence of the Book of Creation's rules, the Reishi Arrow pierced directly through Alice's abdomen. Alice, unwilling to accept defeat, looked at Yamabuki Chidori and, with her last strength, squeezed out a single word through her teeth. "Fuck!"

After saying this, Alice knelt down and lost consciousness completely.

The power of the Book of Creation dissipated. To confirm this, Yamabuki Chidori came to the unconscious Alice and flicked her forehead twice, a truly vicious act.

Once she was sure the flick on the head hadn't affected her, Yamabuki Chidori was finally relieved. She spat out a tentacle from her palm, ready to drain Alice dry.

Just then, the entire Quincy palace erupted with an astonishing light. Yamabuki Chidori realized that the Quincy Palace was about to move and hurriedly reached out to grab Alice.

My food! I spent so much time and effort getting this food, wasn't it all for this meal?

However, before Yamabuki Chidori could even touch Alice, the Quincy Palace had already begun to relocate. Yamabuki Chidori missed her target and crashed into the desert, getting a mouthful of sand!

Chapter 213: I want to write the word "miserable".

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!" Yamabuki Chidori spat out the sand in her mouth, staring blankly at the completely vanished Quincy Palace.

"My food! I've worked so hard for so long just to eat a meal! How did my food disappear!" Yamabuki Chidori Kerria looked at the endless desert with a pitiful expression. She had already opened her can of food, just waiting to enjoy it, when suddenly a Godzilla jumped out from somewhere and snatched her can away!

How could I tolerate this? If it were me, I'd go up there and give Godzilla two good whacks on the head, and show him who's boss.

The Yamabuki Chidori was filled with frustration, but had nowhere to vent it, so she could only express her dissatisfaction by gazing at the desert and Cero.

Little did they know, Shunshun Shidō and Obana Danjirou were secretly watching the crazed Yamabuki Chidori from a distance.

"I didn't expect his condition to be so serious. After becoming a Hollow, he completely lost his judgment. As his good friend, I have to help him!" Shunshun Shidō clenched his fists. He first notified the other Captain of the Gotei 13 through the Hell Butterfly, and then kept a close eye on Yamabuki Chidori from a distance, afraid that Yamabuki Chidori would get out of his sight.

Obana Danjirou asked in a low voice, "Shouldn't we go up and stop him?"

Shunshun Shidō said very seriously, "We can't beat him. Do you even know how valuable the Chief Strategist of the Gotei 13 is? He's second only to the Captain Commander. How can the two of us possibly defeat him when he's completely in a berserk state? Wait for him, let's get ready for a group fight."

Obana Danjirou nodded. This was a test for him. If he wanted to live a more powerful life, he had to make everyone acknowledge his strength.

Before long, all the Captain arrived and saw that Yamabuki Chidori was acting crazy alone in the desert. The Captain were very nervous.

Because what they need to do is not only defeat Yamabuki Chidori, but also capture him alive, which greatly increases the difficulty. If they only wanted to kill Yamabuki Chidori, they could just have the Captain Commander activate his Bankai. But if they wanted to capture him alive, that wouldn't work.

Soon, all the Captain arrived, including Lieutenant Chōjirō Sasakibe.

The Captain Commander called an emergency meeting.

"This is our battle plan. First, we'll use Shijima Chiru's ability to become invisible and sneak up on him. Then, everyone will activate their Bankai at the same time and give him a good beating. Don't worry, you've all seen Yamabuki's healing ability. Even if his brain and heart are damaged, he won't die. So feel free to beat him up without worrying about getting killed. If that doesn't work, I'll step in." The Captain Commander's battle plan was simple and straightforward, and everyone nodded vigorously.

After drawing his Zanpakuto, Shijima Chiru unleashed his Bankai: "Bankai, All Living Things."

All teammates covered by the All Living Things entered a state of absolute invisibility, their Reiatsu, voice, and scent all concealed.

It's practically the strongest support skill in large-scale team battles.

After venting for a while, Yamabuki Chidori sat dejectedly on the ground, feeling very hungry. "I want to go back and eat barbecue!"

Just as Yamabuki Chidori was about to activate the Garganta to return to Soul Society, she suddenly felt a sense of unease around her. It was so quiet; she couldn't even hear the wind.

The battle-hardened Yamabuki Chidori quickly sat up. Her sixth sense told her something was amiss; this feeling was so similar to Shijima Chiru's Bankai...

Wait, Shijima Chiru's Bankai?

Suddenly, Yamabuki Chidori shouted into the empty desert, "Don't attack! We're on the same side..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Saitō Fubōfu, suddenly appeared in mid-air, holding a large megaphone.

"The Bankai, the Dragon Lion Roar, the Heavenly Demon Sound!"

After Yamabuki Chidori, everything that followed was drowned out by Saito's loud voice.

Visible sound waves surged in like a tsunami. Yamabuki Chidori hurriedly Hand Muff her ears, but her body was still blown away by a "Lion's Roar Technique".

His internal organs were damaged to varying degrees, his eardrums were shattered, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

With such a loud voice, she'll never get married!

This kind of explosive Bankai the most terrifying, as it can unleash power far exceeding normal levels in an instant.

Yamabuki Chidori hurriedly waved her hands, trying to tell everyone that she had returned to normal. However, the Sun Moon Flying Wheels of Katoru Hatsunoya flew towards her.

The Yamabuki Chidori was cut in half at the waist, and its internal organs spilled out.

"Bankai, Eight Directions Annihilation!" Shikkōgai Musashi charged over with his Bankai, grabbing Yamabuki Chidori's head and slamming it down repeatedly.

"Bankai, Kajōtenketsu!" Unohana's sword had already reached out from behind and pierced through Yamabuki Chidori's body.

"You... you... can you please let me explain?!"

"Bankai, Demon Eye Poison Dragon!" Sakurane Saizo as he activated his Bankai. The Demon Eye Poison Dragon's massive tail coiled around Yamabuki Chidori's body, rendering him immobile.

The team Captain unleashed a set of skills, only to find that Yamabuki Chidori was motionless. Sakurane Saizo the Demon Eye Poison Dragon release Yamabuki Chidori and whispered, "Did we kill her?"

When the captains went up to check, they saw Shanchui Ditang stretched out his trembling hand and wrote the word "miserable" on the ground.

Unohana blinked and said to her colleagues uncertainly, "He wrote on the ground, and it was all in words we could understand. Does this mean he might have regained his senses?"

All the Captain looked at Yamabuki Chidori, who was lying on the ground in Yamabuki Chidori disheveled state, giving a thumbs up.

"Ahem! Um, was that an accidental injury? It was definitely an accidental injury!" Saitō Fubōfu coughed awkwardly, and the other Captain came over to offer their condolences.

"You've regained your senses, why didn't you tell us sooner? Tell us! If you had told us, how could we have done such a terrible thing to you? Why are you so antisocial?" As expected of the head of one of the Five Noble Clans, Shunshun Shidō directly shifted all the blame onto Yamabuki Chidori.

"And who designed this plan? How could they be so irresponsible?" said Shunshun Shidō.

Captain Commander Yamamoto asked coldly, "I finalized the plan. Is there a problem?"

"No... no!"

Everyone sat down and offered words of comfort. Thanks to Yamabuki Chidori's extremely fast regenerative ability, the minor injuries—ruptured internal organs, shattered eardrums, being cut in half at the waist, and being poisoned—healed on their own in no time.

Those bastards are really ruthless!

Unohana was the first to hug him. It was so good that Yamabuki was alright. Yamabuki Chidori also hugged Unohana tightly. You only realize how precious something is after you lose it.

"Alright, tell me, how did you recover?" Yamamoto changed the subject to cover up the embarrassing incident of accidentally injuring his teammate.

Looking at the moon in the sky Yamabuki Chidori said, "Actually, it's nothing. In a moment, you had an epiphany!"

Chapter 214: Strange Rumors Spread

When Yamabuki Chidori transmigrated, she was quite young, just a teenager, and what she couldn't understand the most was "sudden enlightenment."

The Shakyamuni and the enlightenment of Wang Yangming at Longchang are both miraculous things in the eyes of Yamabuki Chidori.

But now he himself has also experienced an extraordinary epiphany, and he vaguely understands what those experts mean by "epiphany".

The ancients said that the meaning of life has three layers.

First level: Seeing mountains as mountains, and water as water.

The second level: Seeing mountains as not mountains, seeing water as not water.

The third level: Mountains are still mountains, and water is still water.

The reason why most people only see mountains as mountains and water as water is because they only look at the surface of mountains and rivers, marveling at the beauty of the scenery and the magnificence of the landscape.

When one sees mountains not as mountains and water not as water, those who reach this level often associate the scenery before them with many things. For example, as described in "The Notes on Yueyang Tower," exiled poets and writers, upon seeing "the howling wind and turbid waves," would think of their own tragic experiences. What they see is not the scenery, but life itself.

As for the third level, mountains are still mountains, and water is still water...

A mountain is a mountain, and water is water.

I am who I am.

Just as Yamabuki Chidori realized, whether it's emptiness or the Quincy, in the end it's all "Yamabuki Chidori," no different from each other.

Yamabuki Chidori has also shed her illusory appearance and now looks more like an ordinary human.

"Can I go back to Soul Society now?" Yamabuki Chidori asked.

"Hmph, since nothing's wrong, let's go back!" the Captain Commander said calmly, as if everything was within his expectations. Shunshun Shidō chuckled to himself, remembering how the Captain Commander hadn't acted this way when Yamabuki Chidori went berserk in her Hollowfication.

"In addition, I've learned quite a bit about the Quincy. And I've encountered a rather troublesome enemy." Yamabuki Chidori's tone was somewhat cold.

The Book of Creation of Rule-Based Abilities.

Thank goodness it was me who encountered someone with this ability; any other Grim Reaper might not have been able to escape the entanglement of the Book of Creation. Rule-based abilities are really annoying.

At this moment, Yamabuki Chidori noticed Obana Danjirou: "Why did you come along too? Have you joined the Gotei 13?"

Obana Danjirou chuckled dryly, surprised that life in the Gotei 13 was so colorful and interesting; he had encountered something so fun on his very first day.

"Well, it's not like I officially joined the company. I was dragged here by force." Obana Danjirou looked at Shunshun Shidō.

Shunshun Shidō laughed heartily, and the group opened the Soul Gate, preparing to go home.

Although he had only been away from Soul Society for a day, he had a feeling of being in another world. It was so good to be back.

The other members of the Gotei 13 were also waiting for news from their Captain. When they saw that Yamabuki Chidori had returned unharmed, the members all gathered around her.

"Chief Strategist, what's bothering you? You can tell us! There's strength in numbers! Even if you really like a Hollow, we can understand."

"Yes, Chief Strategist, we trust your judgment. What do you think? Isn't your wife beautiful? Bring her back so we can see her!"

"Chief Strategist, when are you planning to hold your wedding? Be sure to send us invitations!"

Yamabuki Chidori was completely bewildered. What inappropriate and lewd things are you spouting?

Why can't I understand anything?

Unohana looked at Yamabuki Chidori with a smile, "Yamabuki, can you explain what's going on here?"

"How should I know! I've been framed! You bunch of bastards, don't talk nonsense!" Yamabuki Chidori shouted at her teammates.

However, the team members all had an "I understand" expression. "Chief Strategist, we know your predicament. Although you hold a high position and great power, that kind of love is ultimately not accepted by the world. We understand you. Keep going!"

"Understand my foot! What the hell are you talking about?!"

Many years later, novels became popular in Soul Society, and this "heart-wrenching" "love story" was told about how Hollow eloped with her.

By the way, in order to attract more female readers, many unscrupulous novelists have portrayed this never-seen fictional character as an unparalleled handsome man, and the two embark on a dramatic love story. However, the two are eventually separated by the "evil forces" led by the Captain Commander.

Rumor has it that because of this incident, Yamabuki Chidori chased after the author of this novel with a knife for eight blocks.

According to sources, the author of the novel is named Hane Hane Chiyo.

Let's get back to the main topic.

Yamabuki Chidori thought she could rest for a few days, but she never expected that she would start working again just two hours after returning to the Gotei 13.

First, there's the official onboarding of Obana Danjirou.

The current Gotei 13 doesn't care about background or origin; if you can fight, we'll give you important roles.

Obana Danjirou's strength is definitely at the Captain-level, without any exaggeration. After informing the Captain Commander, Yamabuki Chidori arranged for Obana Danjirou to serve as the Reserve Captain of the Fifth Division, and his salary and benefits naturally increased as well.

After becoming a full member of the Gotei 13, Obana Danjirou also learned about the Quincy.

Six months later—no, not six months, but five months later— the Quincy will launch a full-scale invasion. Currently, the Gotei 13 have only had limited contact with the Quincy. According to the intelligence provided by Yamabuki Chidori, the Quincy's strength is probably no less than that of the Gotei 13, and a Blood War is inevitable in the future.

Obana Danjirou looked worried; he had sensed something was wrong when he was in Rukongai.

Seireitei is expanding rapidly. The number of official members of the Gotei 13 has increased from more than 100 at the beginning to more than 1,000 now, and the Genji Academy has a reserve force of 2,000.

Now it seems that this was indeed in preparation for the crisis that was about to occur.

After the meeting, Yamabuki Chidori called out to Obana Danjirou, "Unhappy? Do you feel like you've been tricked?"
