When all the captains of the Thirteenth Division left.
Only two people remained in the captain's room of the First Division Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, the captain of the First Division the Gotei 1 and concurrently the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, and Shihouin Sougo, the captain of the Gotei Second Division the Sōgo Shihoin 2.
"Actually, besides learning about the Quincy's methods called Quincy Medallion, the information I received before also included another piece of information."
"A piece of news regarding the location of Yhwach and the Quincy."
Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke softly.
Where?
Upon hearing this, Sōgo Shihoin nodded slightly and asked.
"..."
Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai did not answer Sōgo Shihoin's question. Instead, he extended a finger and gently pointed to a shady spot in the room that was never exposed to sunlight.
"Ah..."
Sōgo Shihoin recalled Pernida's elusive and unpredictable methods, appearing and disappearing from the shadows. He frowned, finally understanding Pernida's methods. At the same time, after understanding Pernida's methods, he felt a slight headache.
How big?
Sōgo Shihoin scratched the back of his head and asked.
"The coverage area is the entire Seireitei..."
After thinking for a while, Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai spoke with a hint of helplessness.
"..."
How long has it been?
Sōgo Shihoin was speechless for a moment upon hearing this... then continued to ask.
"About... a thousand years."
Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai stroked his long beard and spoke somewhat uncertainly.
"Clap clap clap..."
Sōgo Shihoin amused by Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai's words, and Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai deserves a round of enthusiastic applause.
"You're really something! Old Man Yama! They've lived in your house for a thousand years, and you've only just discovered it? Why didn't you wait until they completely took over your place and wiped out all your offspring before you found out?!"
Sōgo Shihoin patted Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai on the shoulder and gave him a heartfelt thumbs-up.
"A moment of carelessness..."
Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai opened his mouth slightly, hesitated for a long time, and finally managed to utter only four words.
"Well..."
"You were really careless. Luckily, nothing serious has happened yet... Tell me, what do you need me for, and how can I help you?"
Sōgo Shihoin sighed helplessly. He had nothing to blame for the old man in front of him; after all, he was several thousand years old, and it was normal for him to be confused occasionally.
"I want to ask you... if it were you, could you help me force them out of that shadow? The battle doesn't need to be left to you; after all, it's a mess I left behind. Just help me force them out of the shadows, and leave the rest to me."
Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai pointed to the perpetually dark, shady spot in the room and said with some distress, "It's obvious that we have no way to deal with the enemy hiding in the shadows."
"It's very simple..."
Sōgo Shihoin shrugged. He had thought it would be a difficult task, but he figured he could manage to force those people out of the shadows.
"Oh... it seems you already have a plan Sōgo."
Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai heard Sōgo Shihoin's incredibly confident voice, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, slowly relaxed.
"Certainly."
Sōgo Shihoin slightly. He was the invincible Sōgo Shihoin, how could he say no? As a man, even if it meant bleeding, he would never say no.
Tell me about it.
Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai looked at Sōgo Shihoin with some anticipation, wanting to see just how much strength this young man who had surprised and impressed him truly possessed.
"I'll start like this: with a single, sharp cut, I'll slice through Soul Society. Then, like performing a dental procedure, I'll uproot the entire Seireitei, crushing Seireitei and the entire Quincy organization hiding in its Seireitei."
What do you think of my move?
Sōgo Shihoin explained his method, a brilliant idea he came up with in just five seconds—in short, perfect.
"..."
After hearing what Sōgo Shihoin, Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai was speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to describe his feelings at that moment; in short, they were very complicated.
"No need for you to trouble yourself."
"Let me think about this matter carefully!"
After closing his eyes to calm himself down, Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai Sōgo Shihoin the order to leave.
Hey~
"See, it's not that I don't want to help you!"
"It's your own fault for not wanting my help."
Sōgo Shihoin shrugged. He genuinely wanted to help Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai solve his problem, but unfortunately, Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai didn't appreciate it, which made him very sad. He could only go home to rest and catch up on his sleep.
"Hehe..."
Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai chuckled lightly. If he intended to destroy the Seireitei in this short-sighted way, forcing Yhwach and the others to sacrifice themselves, why would he need to ask Sōgo Shihoin for help?! He would have simply slashed down with his sword and ended the battle directly.
It was precisely because he intended to do everything in his power to protect the Soul Society and Seireitei Sōgo Shihoin to help. If Sōgo Shihoin could only achieve the same effect as him, then there would be no point in asking Sōgo Shihoin.
" Old Man Yama, I am strong, but that only means I'm incredibly strong in combat. I'm not some blue robot cat, nor am I the Almighty god. How could I possibly possess all sorts of amazing abilities?"
"Instead of placing your hopes on me, you should place them on scientific researchers Mayuri Kurotsuchi."
"Perhaps these scientific researchers are more useful than I am in times like this."
Sōgo Shihoin sighed helplessly and explained to Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai.
"Science?!"
After hearing what Sōgo Shihoin, Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai was taken aback at first. Then he gently stroked his thick beard and pondered the feasibility of the matter.
"Good!"
Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai slightly. He decided to personally visit the Twelfth Division's Research and Development Institute and have a good talk with Mayuri Kurotsuchi.
Right?
"I'm off then~"
Sōgo Shihoin yawned softly and decided to slip away...
In a world filled with religious and theological elements, there is nothing more wonderful or correct than believing in science. Sōsuke Aizen is a scientist, Kisuke Urahara is a scientist, and Mayuri Kurotsuchi is also a scientist...
Perhaps your religious beliefs will deceive you, and the gods you worship may leave you, but science will never change; it will always be with you, never abandoning you...
Las Noches.
In the vast hall, Sōsuke Aizen, the ruler of Hueco Mundo, sat quietly in the main seat with a faint smile on his face, patiently waiting for his subordinates to arrive.
The first to arrive at the meeting hall were Kaname Tōsen, Gin Ichimaru, Gosuke, and Yushima Oko. As Soul Reaper who followed Aizen, the four of them sat in the seats closest to Aizen, occupying the first two seats on either side of Aizen...
As Aizen's followers and traitors from Soul Society entered, the first to arrive and occupy the third position to Aizen's right was a boy dressed in white and wearing a crown.
After entering the meeting room, the boy sat down in his seat without saying a word and closed his eyes tightly, as if he didn't care about the meeting that was about to begin.
"Tsk..."
Despite losing his sight, Kaname Tōsen's keen hearing easily picked up on the sound of the boy closing his eyes. His brows furrowed, and his expression showed a hint of irritation. If it weren't for the fact that the boy's terrifying strength was still useful to Lord Aizen, he would have already planned to take action and teach this disrespectful brat a lesson.
"Hello everyone!"
Good morning everyone!
The second Hollow to arrive at the venue was not a person, but a pair of beings who seemed like siblings. They sat together in the same seat, the third seat to Aizen's left.
Good morning Lord Aizen.
The third, or rather the fourth, arrival was a stunning beauty with dark green hair, a sweet face, and a voluptuous figure. She wore a snow-white knight's outfit that perfectly accentuated her captivating curves, exuding both a cool and sweet charm. She was a beautiful woman who was also heroic.
"Good morning, Nel."
Sōsuke Aizen nodded slightly and smiled as he greeted the beautiful woman.
Good morning Lord Aizen.
Following closely behind Nel was an elegant young nobleman with a handsome face, short, jet-black hair, and wearing a snow-white trench coat.
Good morning, Ulquiorra!
Sōsuke Aizen smiled slightly at Ulquiorra and greeted him gently.
"Clatter~"
Before Ulquiorra could even settle in, the conference room door was violently pushed open, and a man carrying a huge scythe, exuding rudeness, disrespect, and barbarity, walked in.
" Nelliel... you bastard, why aren't you dead yet?!"
As soon as the man entered, he greeted his beloved Nel with a heartfelt greeting.
"Keep talking nonsense... or I'll kill you."
Nel frowned, her eyes filled with murderous intent as she glared fiercely at the new man who had just entered. A person's desire to kill another is impossible to conceal in their eyes.
"..."
The man trembled at Nel's gaze, and only recovered after standing still for a few seconds.
"Ha ha ha ha..."
"You don't have that ability! I know that, Nelliel! You can't fool me!"
The man suddenly burst into laughter, mocking Nel mercilessly.
" Lord Aizen, please remove this weakling who refuses to kill from our Espada immediately!"
"The facts prove that I am the one who deserves to be the Third Espada."
The man stared at Nel with a manic look in his eyes, his lustful gaze seeming as if he wanted to devour Nel whole.
Forget it~
" Nnoitra, you don't have the ability."
Just as the man wielding the scythe was brazenly provoking Nel, a man with short blue hair, a leopard-like physique, and an aura of murderous intent emanating from him walked in through the door and spoke coldly to the man wielding the giant scythe, whose real name was Nnoitra.
"Ha?!"
Is this the sixth Espada's attitude towards the fifth Espada?
"If you don't understand the meaning of numbers, I'll teach you a lesson, little Grimmjow."
Nnoitra stared coldly at the man behind him, as if a fight was about to break out at any moment.
"You just don't understand the meaning of numbers, do you?"
"You, a mid-ranking Adjuchas -level Menos Grande Arrancar, actually dared to provoke the third-ranked Espada?!"
"You should know... what level of Menos Grande Arrancar the third-ranked Espada was, right?"
Just as Nnoitra was about to Grimmjow in Grimmjow battle and teach him a lesson about the true meaning of the Espada's numbers, a person with an effeminate appearance, whose gender was difficult to discern with the naked eye, spoke up and mocked Nnoitra.
Luppi...
Nnoitra stared at the man behind Grimmjow, his chest burning with rage.
"OK!"
"Even if you add another number seven like yourself, what difference will it make?"
Do you think a number seven plus a number six can beat me, who is number five?
"The difference between numbers cannot be made up for by simply increasing the number."
Nnoitra, wielding a massive scythe, roared at Luppi and Grimmjow.
"How boring..."
"Stop embarrassing yourself, Nnoitra. Apart from the top four Espada, the difference between us isn't that great. We all evolved from Mid-level Menos Grande, Adjuchas- level Menos Grande..."
A dark-skinned man with his eyes tightly closed and his hands clasped together like a monk walked into the hall through the main door and expressed his displeasure to Nnoitra was blocking the way.
" Zommari, you bastard..."
Nnoitra gritted his teeth as he looked at the dark-skinned monk who Grimmjow's side.
Hahahaha...
"Okay, okay..."
"You bunch of small fry who like to band together, let you be arrogant all you want!"
Seemingly to salvage his lost face, Nnoitra first burst into laughter, then glared fiercely at Grimmjow and the others before finally taking his seat.
"Oh my god, is this a fight?"
"Why did you stop playing?"
"I still think it's quite interesting."
After Nnoitra left, with no more obstacles, Yylfordt, with his shiny blond hair, walked into the conference room with a smile along with the tall and strong Yammy, and took their seats at the end of the table.
" Yylfordt..."
Nnoitra glanced at the blond man who was the last to enter the conference room, his eyes flickering slightly, a hint of apprehension flashing in them.
"Ha ha ha ha..."
"Now that everyone is present, it is time to begin our meeting."
"The time has come for you all to attack the World of the Living! We will reforge the Ōken and launch our assault on the highest position!"
Sōsuke Aizen watched the noisy crowd with a smile until they calmed down and settled into their seats, then spoke softly.
"Gentlemen, as we gather here today, let me reiterate once more!"
"We have no enemies ahead of us!"
As Sōsuke Aizen spoke, he extended his hand, and the next second, a powerful Spiritual Pressure surged forth! The Spiritual Pressure released by the Menos Grande instantly swept across the entire Las Noches. Countless weak Hollows didn't even have time to react before being crushed into powder by the vast, ocean-like, and hell-like Spiritual Pressure. At this moment... in the huge conference room, everyone was a villain!
"Oh dear~"
"My good-for-nothing brother finally brought me some somewhat interesting information. That arrogant guy named Sōsuke Aizen, who claims to rule Hueco Mundo, is actually preparing to set off? How intriguing..." In the Second Division's laboratory, the pink-haired Szayelaporro smiled slightly after receiving the information. "I have to tell Sōgo about this interesting information..."
Meanwhile, in the World of the Living... in Karakura Town, a land of spirits, the peaceful sky suddenly emitted a "squeaking" sound. Suddenly, the clouds exploded, and a giant chrysanthemum-like crack appeared in the sky...
Several figures dressed in white, with human-like figures but emanating a unique Spiritual Pressure fluctuation that only Hollows possess, appeared in the sky above Karakura Town, looking down upon the entire city from high above.
"..."
"According to Lord Aizen's information, the first factor to be eliminated is a high school boy named Ichigo Kurosaki."
The leader had calm eyes and a handsome face like that of a noble young master. At this moment, this noble young master only had one thing on his mind: to complete Lord Aizen's mission.
When the sky darkens and the sun sets, at the hour of the demons, evil spirits wreak havoc on the human world!
A terrifying red light illuminated the sky!
Several captains of the Gotei 13 launched Captain-level attack...
At this moment! Everyone in Soul Society knew that Sōsuke Aizen, the traitor who had defected from Soul Society, was finally preparing to make his move!
A fierce battle is about to begin!
" Old Man Yama, Sōsuke that idiot Sousuke's matter to our Second Division!"
"I want to see what kind of fun that guy has spent so much time preparing for..."
Sōgo Shihoin his limbs, looking eager to go to Hueco Mundo for some fun.
Autumn has arrived, and it's harvest season again...
After letting Sōsuke Aizen play by himself for so long, it's time to reap the rewards.
" Sōgo Shihoin... don't be silly."
"That brat Aizen is incredibly cunning... I think he's already planned this all along. Since you're going... Hueco Mundo must be rife with traps aimed at you right now..."
Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai reminded Sōgo Shihoin that, in his eyes, the most urgent task was to deal with the monster Yhwach first Sōsuke Aizen's matter could be put on hold or sent to someone else to handle it, in order to prevent any mistakes.
"That won't do, I made an appointment with Sōsuke!"
"Don't worry, Old Man Yama! Because I'm invincible."
Sōgo Shihoin shook his head slightly. A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Since he had made a promise with Sōsuke Aizen to settle things once and for all, and now that Sōsuke Aizen had challenged him, how could he possibly refuse?
" Sōsuke Aizen; he has many powerful subordinates."
Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai reminded Sōgo Shihoin.
" Old Man Yama, are you saying my men aren't strong enough?"
Sōgo Shihoin chuckled softly, then snapped his fingers. The next second, several powerful Spiritual Pressure erupted from behind him.
Hōshō Ryo, Lilynette, Tier Harribel, Szayelaporro, Szayelaporro Sōya Azashiro Tsunayashiro Tokinada, Kuruyashiki, Aura Michibane, Hideki Ise, and... invited by him, who, upon hearing there was a fight, abandoned Mayuri Kurotsuchi and came with the group, and... Kenpachi Zaraki Retsu Unohana, who claimed that she insisted on coming along to prevent everyone from getting hurt, a total of eleven people gathered here.
Five thousand.
