The other person wasn't given time to speak.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto drew Ryūjin Jakka with one hand and slashed forward. The tip of the blade burst into raging flames, engulfing Sōya Azashiro and turning him into ashes.
However, after slaying the enemy, his expression showed no pride. His eyes glanced to his side, and his Reishi materialized once more into the form of Sōya Azashiro. " Captain-Commander, please don't waste your energy. This body is only a small part of me; it can be burned and reformed as many times as it wants."
" Sōya Azashiro, you surrendered yourself to prison voluntarily back then, but now you've escaped. What's your purpose?"
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto sheathed his Ryūjin Jakka, his Reiatsu vibrating the air with his words, creating a powerful oppressive force.
Sōya Azashiro wasn't intimidated. He calmly said, " Captain-Commander, my goal remains the same as before: to reform the residents of Rukongai and launch a Hueco Mundo. The difference is that simply purifying Hueco Mundo isn't enough; I also want to eliminate the Hollows at their source."
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Human beings."
Sōya Azashiro used this term, continuing to explain his philosophy to them, which could also be considered a review of the plan. "It is the emotions that humans possess, such as resentment, anger, hatred, and obsession, that give rise to the seeds of emptiness, causing the entire Chain of Fate to collapse. We only need to remove them all."
"You should have learned in the modern science classes at the Shin'ō Academy that psychosurgery is a medical specialty in the World of the Living."
"One of the surgeries is called a prefrontal lobotomy, which is similar to what I'm going to do. It alters a part of the brain and soul of World of the Living humans to prevent them from transforming into the void."
"Once this is completed, there will be no more sinners to be sent to Hell."
Sōya Azashiro said, "I'm still thinking about how to massively modify humans. Until then, I hope you won't hinder me or attack Shiraishi; he's my comrade now."
"Stop joking!"
The captains remained silent, but Rangiku Matsumoto, unable to contain her anger any longer, glared with wide eyes and her chest heaving with rage. "What do you take them for? They're not toys in your hands!"
Negative emotions are not good emotions, but when a person suffers endless grievances and has no right to hate, and is oppressed, they are unable to be angry.
Is he still alone?
The world depicted by Sōya Azashiro was, in Rangiku Matsumoto's ears, a terrifying Hell.
"I'm just doing my duty as a Shinigami. Don't forget, our responsibility is to balance the number of souls between the Soul Society and the World of the Living, nothing more."
Sōya Azashiro emphasized the duties of the Shinigami, adding, " Rangiku Matsumoto, your words contain too much personal emotion; arguing with you is a waste of time."
" Captain-Commander, I hope you'll think this through. If I succeed in this, it will be a good thing for Soul Society. If you can assist me, that would be even better."
"Impossible."
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto flatly rejected the offer to assist him.
"Is that so?" Sōya Azashiro sighed, feeling that continuing the conversation here was a waste of time, and his figure gradually disappeared into thin air. "Then please don't disturb our operation."
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto remained silent until the person had completely disappeared before speaking, "Suspend the pursuit of Sōya Azashiro and Shiraishi for now."
Rangiku Matsumoto was shocked and exclaimed, " Captain-Commander, you don't actually agree with what that guy said, do you?"
Things need to be done in order of priority.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, who did not dislike the Shinigami for their strong sense of justice, patiently explained, "We do not have the strength to arrest Muken Criminals at the same time. The ideas of Azashiro and Shiraishi pose the least threat to us."
The other prisoners were different.
" Mad King Munemasa, whose original name was Munemasa Tsunayashiro, attempted to storm the Soul King Palace two thousand years ago, before the Seireitei was established, to kidnap the Soul King and cause the collapse of the Three Realms. It was I and the heads of the Five Great Noble Clans who subdued him."
" Captain Kuchiki didn't lose because he didn't use his Bankai, but because he couldn't use Bankai at all, rendering all the Zanpakuto's abilities ineffective. That was that guy's Bankai."
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto began to tell them about the situation of the prisoners in the Muken Hell.
" The Evil Doctor Genjirō, the first person to conduct Hollowfication Experiment, desires to transform himself into Hollow-Eater with special abilities, devour the entire Soul Society, and thus evolve."
Upon hearing about the Hollowfication Experiment, Aizen's silent eyes lit up slightly, finally showing a hint of curiosity.
" The Demon Fist Kaoru Tendō, pursues the ultimate principles of martial arts. She wants to destroy the Gotei 13 to prove her strength. From now on, the captain must never travel alone."
" The Forbidden Technique Creator Oniyasha, created almost all the known forbidden techniques of the Kidō. Time Stop, reversal, Spatial Transfer, and cutting are all examples of how he recklessly uses forbidden Kidō techniques to disrupt the normal laws of the Soul Society."
Finally, they even attempted to resurrect the dead, causing a backflow of phosphorus energy from Hell, which brought the Soul Society to the brink of collapse.
" The Silver Flash Tsukikage Yagyū possesses a strong thieving desire. Leaving aside gold and silver jewelry, she also enjoys stealing from people, regardless of gender. If she sets her sights on someone, she will capture and torture them, severely disrupting the existing order."
"Each of these five individuals is more dangerous than Sōya Azashiro's ideas; we need to deal with them first."
After Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto finished speaking, the entire main hall fell into an unusual silence.
Some people were indifferent, some had ulterior motives, and some were shocked; different emotions swirled in their hearts.
"I'm really looking forward to it." Kenpachi Zaraki broke the silence, his face full of eagerness. It turns out there are so many powerful enemies in this world.
He looked forward to the ensuing battle, completely disregarding whether the world was at peace or whether order was stable.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto didn't force him to take it to heart, and said in a deep voice, "Our next focus will be on the three Forbidden Technique Creator Oniyasha, Mad King Munemasa, and Evil Doctor Genjirō, followed by Demon Fist Kaoru Tendō and Silver Flash Tsukikage Yagyū."
"Finally, there are Sōya Azashiro, Shiraishi, Kūkaku Shiba."
Upon hearing this, Shunsui Kyōraku lowered his straw hat and said, "Perhaps we can make use of Shiraishi."
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto looked at his most proud disciple.
Shunsui Kyōraku pulled his straw hat down even lower and said with a hint of helplessness, "There is only one way for the lower realm to reach the Spirit Soul King's Soul King Palace, where the Spirit King resides: by riding the spirit artifact passed down through the Shiba Clan."
With the death of Kaien Shiba and the disappearance of Isshin Shiba, only Kūkaku Shiba in the entire Shiba Clan knows how to use Spirit Tools.
"To force Kūkaku Shiba to submit, Munemasa will definitely use Ganju Shiba. If we stand idly by..."
Shunsui Kyōraku didn't continue. He felt that his suggestion was too despicable, putting a child in danger.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto immediately made a decision. "Contact Xing Jun, Punishment Force is monitoring Ganju Shiba, at once. We must ensure his whereabouts. Ignore everything else."
For the sake of world justice, some dark methods are inevitable. Bearing this darkness and continuing to move forward is the duty of the Captain-Commander.
