And all ten million possible futures lead to one outcome!

destroy.

Before the invincible Zanka no Tachi, the future holds no meaning whatsoever.

Yhwach tasted despair for the first time.

"Where are you looking? Didn't you tell me not to be distracted on the battlefield?" Yamabuki Chidori's voice appeared in Yhwach's ear. At the same time, a silver blade pierced through Yhwach's abdomen from behind, and then the blade sliced horizontally, cutting Yhwach's body in half at the waist!

"You... Yamabuki Chidori!!!!"

"Captain Commander, now!!!"

Yhwach saw the sun fall from the heavens!

The world has become Purgatory!

Everywhere the naked eye could see was engulfed in flames!

Everything within a radius of 100 miles was evaporated!

That all-destroying power swept across the entire universe!

Yhwach's body was completely melted into Zanka no Tachi, and not only that, his soul and mind also completely dissipated with the fall of the Zanka no Tachi!

The area within a radius of a hundred miles was completely reduced to scorched earth.

Only Captain Commander Yamamoto stood atop Purgatory!

Even the ground beneath our feet was melting, bubbling and burning!

After a long while, the terrifying heat slowly dissipated!

"Smack!"

As the sound of space shattering echoed, Yamabuki Chidori appeared before the Captain Commander. At the last moment, Yamabuki Chidori hid in the Small World she had created, thus avoiding being Ryūjin Jakka.

"The Old Man is as irritable as ever!" Yamabuki Chidori looked at the mess in front of her, smiled and sat down on the ground with her body weak. But as soon as her butt touched the ground, she was burned and jumped up!

Yhwach, that old bastard, has finally kicked the bucket!

However, while the Zanka no Tachi was indeed very powerful, capable of burning even the soul to ashes, it could not completely eliminate the power left behind by the Soul King.

As the "son of the Son of the Soul King," Yhwach's survival was sustained by the Soul King's power. Of course, it would take time for this power to be reunited, at least a thousand years in terms of the world's perspective.

Even if Yhwach is resurrected a thousand years later, there will be Kurosaki Ichigo, Aizen, and others, so Yhwach is nothing to fear.

Thinking of this, Yamabuki Chidori's tense heart finally relaxed!

The next step is to develop a retirement plan.

Then I'll figure out a way to retire.

Start your own system and live the life of a retired senior official!

It sounds perfect!

"Captain Commander, look, I guess I've done something good, right?" Yamabuki Chidori approached the Captain Commander with a grin.

Yamamoto glared at Yamabuki Chidori; whenever that kid made that face, nothing good came of it.

"Speak your mind!"

"Do you remember the retirement policy I mentioned when I first joined the Gotei 13? I think it's absolutely necessary to provide security for the members. After all, even if they get injured and lose their ability to fight, their livelihood can still be guaranteed. Don't you think so?"

Yamamoto nodded slightly. "That's indeed a good thing. Tell me more about your retirement policy."

Once the Captain Commander agreed, Yamabuki Chidori immediately explained her retirement policy.

"After team members have worked for a certain number of years, they can choose whether to retire based on their own circumstances. This is beneficial to strengthening our team cohesion. We can't be tyrants like Yhwach, right?" Yamabuki Chidori asked.

"Hmm, hmm! There's no problem at all. So, the retirement age..."

Yamabuki Chidori coughed softly. Death is different from humans; death has a very long lifespan.

Furthermore, the stronger the Reiatsu, the longer the lifespan.

"That... one..."

"A thousand years? It's decided then!"

"Wait, Captain Commander, I didn't mean a thousand years..."

"What? I can't hear you, I'm getting old and hard of hearing! Yamabuki, you truly are a model of selflessness, willing to work for the team for a thousand years! That's settled, no changes allowed!"

No! My system! It can't wait a thousand years to unlock! Yamete!!!

P. S.: This is the last chapter of Volume 1. I worked overtime to finish it, so I'm not keeping you all hanging anymore. Give me some praise for my hard work!

Chapter 1: I, Yamabuki Chidori, a great good man

One week after the great battle.

Yamabuki Chidori is incredibly busy!

After this earth-shattering battle, a quarter of the Seireitei buildings were destroyed, and the Gotei 13 naturally had to send people to rebuild them. This arduous task fell to Yamabuki Chidori.

Selecting materials, hiring workers, managing income and expenses— Yamabuki Chidori is busy until late at night every day before she can go home.

Today is a bright and sunny day, and in front of Yamabuki Chidori lies a mountain of documents.

"But hey!!! Why did I risk my life to defeat Yhwach? Wasn't it so I could live a carefree life? Why am I still so tired even though we've won? It doesn't make sense! It's not scientific!" Yamabuki Chidori threw the documents in her hand all over the place. Hane Hane Chiyo and Senbu calmly picked them up one by one. Yamabuki Chidori would vent her emotions like this several times a day.

Hane Hane Chiyo looked at Yamabuki Chidori with a pitiful expression.

He could defeat even a peerless powerhouse Yhwach, yet he lost to the 996 work schedule and unpaid overtime. Indeed, what can bring down a man is not his enemy, but life itself.

After venting her frustrations, Yamabuki Chidori continued working overtime.

"Add more people! I've told the Captain Commander so many times! Add more people! How come you two ended up being added too?" Yamabuki Chidori wailed.

These two young women are indeed very capable, but they simply have too much work to do.

Rebuilding Seireitei is only one part of the task. The Gotei 13 suffered heavy casualties among its lower-ranking members, and the task of recruiting a large number of lower-ranking members and allocating manpower and resources will also fall on Yamabuki Chidori.

And most importantly, Central 46 is gone again!

This is the second time in the past six months!

Although those old men are no different from mascots now, they are still the core of power in Soul Society. With forty-six positions suddenly vacant in the Central 46, these nobles will fight tooth and nail for them like mad dogs.

If handled improperly, it will cause more trouble!

While it's natural to strike ruthlessly against external enemies, many of these nobles have joined the Gotei 13, and many have died in this great battle, which can be considered meritorious. If a large-scale purge is used directly, it's easy to lose popular support.

"Why are there even more troublesome things than before the war?" Yamabuki Chidori lay exhausted among the documents. Before the war, all he had to think about was how to win it, but after the war, more and more troublesome things came up, leaving him overwhelmed.

"Who made you angry again?" A gentle voice came from behind. Yamabuki Chidori lazily turned her head and saw Unohana walking over with a smile on her face.

When Yamabuki Chidori saw the Unohana, she suddenly sat up straight.

Before the great battle, Yamabuki Chidori bravely proposed to Unohana, and the two promised to get married if they both survived the battle.

This matter definitely counts!

However, there was just too much work to do this week, Yamabuki Chidori was completely tied up. But when she saw Unohana, the thought came back to her mind.

Hane Hane Chiyo and Senbu instantly transformed into onlookers, happily watching the watermelon from the sidelines. Girls, there's nothing shameful about gossiping!

"Even if you're really angry, you still have to eat! I made your favorite food, eat it while it's hot!" Unohana took the food out of the food box. Yamabuki Chidori took a small bite and found that the taste was just right, without any of her favorite chili peppers.

"I really want to eat this..." Senbu's mouth watered as she looked at the Beef Stew with Radish in front of her. Hane Hane Chiyo dragged Senbu away, thinking it best for the two of them not to stay and be third wheels!

Those two lunatics, once they get angry, will take it out on the two of them again!

Without the third wheel bothering her, Yamabuki Chidori mustered her courage and asked softly, "Um... about the wedding..."

Unohana's smile widened even more.

"Once things calm down a bit, let's go get married right away, okay?" Yamabuki Chidori asked.

Unohana gently held Yamabuki Chidori's hand. "From now on, you are the head of the household, and of course, we will listen to you in all these matters."

Yamabuki Chidori was so excited that tears almost streamed down her face.

Listen to this! What does it mean to have family status? Do you even know what it means to be the head of the household?

"Feel free to tell me anything that's bothering you. I'm pretty stupid, I can't do anything except chop people up, and I can't be of much help!" Unohana laughed.

Yamabuki Chidori selected the most important document from among the many files, which contained a joint petition signed by numerous nobles.

"Central 46 Reconstruction Plan"

In this great battle, the Central 46 wiped out due to its arrogance and incompetence, and countless eyes are now fixed on the vacant positions.

Many nobles and the Gotei 13 have their interests intertwined. If their opinions are rejected outright, there is a risk of unrest, since protecting and destroying are two completely different things.

The nobles did indeed suffer heavy casualties in this great battle, and it would be unreasonable not to give them some incentives.

Are we really going to leave this bunch of useless people around who constantly annoy us?

Yamabuki Chidori rubbed her temples. Indeed, ruling a country is much more difficult than conquering one!

To conquer an empire, all you need to do is forge ahead relentlessly!

To govern a country, one must consider various factors.

Unohana laughed, "I don't understand other principles, but if anyone dares to make you angry..."

Unohana reached out and patted Yamabuki Chidori's head, as if she were coaxing a child.

"I'll just chop him up!"

Yamabuki Chidori was suddenly patted on the head, she felt a little shy, but then she thought that Unohana was about two hundred years older than her, so this was definitely a noona romance!

But it doesn't matter, ten thousand years later, she will only be a tiny bit older than me.

Suddenly, Yamabuki Chidori Kerato.

He recalled the five permanent members of the UN Security Council who used to live on Blue Star.

And the veto power held by the five permanent members of the UN Security Council.

"Your suggestion is good, but I disagree with it."

In United Nations vote, even if hundreds of countries around the world agree on a matter, a single vote from one of the five philanthropists can overturn the vote of those hundreds of countries.

That's how domineering we are!

Behind this domineering attitude lies absolute strength.

It is already the greatest kindness of me to sit here and talk to you; what more could you possibly want?

"Damn it! What am I even cowardly about? Right now, the two strongest fighters in Soul Society are me and the Captain Commander, right? Besides us, there are a whole bunch of Captain. Let alone controlling the Central 46, even if you said Rat Head was a duck's neck, no one would dare to object!" Yamabuki Chidori's eyes gleamed.

If the Central 46 is a "United Nations" elected by the Great Noble, then I'll be the benefactor!

Chapter Two: The Central 46 Reconstruction Plan

Yamabuki Chidori decided to go and discuss this matter with Captain Commander Gi, but when she arrived at the First Division, she found that the Captain Commander was not there.

"Captain Commander?" Chōjirō Sasakibe, holding a stack of documents, tilted his head slightly. "The Captain Commander went to the site of your final battle. Is there something you need, Yamabuki- nii?"

After Yamabuki Chidori farewell to Chōjirō Sasakibe arrived at the place where he had fought Yhwach. Sure enough, the Captain Commander was looking at the area that had been turned into wasteland.

"Captain Commander? What are you doing? You don't still doubt that Yhwach is alive, do you?" Yamabuki Chidori said.

Captain Commander Yamamoto shook his head slightly, then squatted down and grabbed a handful of dust from the ground. The once vibrant soil was now as crumbly as biscuit crumbs, and he could easily pick up a large handful with a gentle scoop.

"Yamabuki, do you think my Bankai is too destructive? This area probably won't recover for thousands of years!" Captain Commander Yamamoto said with some emotion.

Looking out over the Yamabuki Chidori, the area within a hundred miles had been burned to ashes. Before the great battle, this place was a beautiful landscape of green mountains and clear waters, but now the scene looked like it had been through a nuclear war.

"You're worried about this? That's not like you!" Yamabuki Chidori said half-jokingly.

Captain Commander Yamamoto's tone was heavy. "A person who possesses excessive power without any restraint will eventually cause disaster, especially since my Bankai too much destruction to this world! Alas! Since we have chosen to protect this world, we cannot act recklessly."

Yamabuki Chidori was able to understand what the Captain Commander was saying.

"I have decided that I will no longer use Bankai from now on, so as to avoid causing further destruction to this world!" Captain Commander Yamamoto said.

"Whatever makes you happy. If you really encounter an enemy you can't beat, I'll take action!" Yamabuki Chidori said with a smile. Captain Commander Yamamoto beckoned to him, Yamabuki Chidori, not understanding why, leaned in, only to be punched hard by the Captain Commander!

"You brat! It's not your place to protect me! Tell me, is there something important you need me for?" Yamamoto said, adjusting his mindset.
