Another world! A new world!
Visitors from other worlds!
These three topics are currently the three most discussed topics in the Soul Society...
Countless newspapers widely publicized and discussed these three topics, creating a sensation throughout the Soul Society...
"Do you really think a new world exists?! A world without Soul Reaper?!"
"What?! No Soul Reaper?! That's terrible!"
Several Soul Reaper dressed in black Shihakusho were discussing something while on guard duty.
"I heard that those two strange guys who invaded Soul Society before were actually from another world, which means we might have discovered a completely new world!"
"A completely new world? It can't just be a slightly larger place Valley of Screams, can it?"
"It's said to be different from the Valley of Screams, it's a complete world!"
"Really?! Oh, boss, bring two jugs of sake."
"They're here..."
Soul Reaper himself was chatting idly in the tavern.
"I heard we've discovered another world!?"
"Is it time for a full-scale attack?"
"Invading a completely new world?!"
"I heard that too..."
There were people discussing something inside the squad...
In short, such discussions are everywhere.
"This is troublesome!" Tōshirō Hitsugaya frowned as he listened to the groups of Soul Reaper discussing. "The world of another world should be a secret, so why does it seem like the whole world knows as soon as I open my eyes!? If I find out who leaked this information, I'll make them pay!"
"Hehehe..." Rangiku Matsumoto shuddered upon hearing this. "How strange! Why does the whole world know about the other world as soon as I open my eyes? I'm curious too!"
"Hmm!?" Tōshirō Hitsugaya frowned upon hearing Rangiku Matsumoto's words. "Hey! Rangiku, is there something you're hiding from me?!"
"Of course not!" Rangiku Matsumoto said, lowering her head as if she were a little guilty. "I definitely haven't hidden anything from the captain."
"Really?! Rangiku." Tōshirō Hitsugaya frowned. "You really haven't lied to me about anything?! Rangiku, I'm your captain. Even if you've deceived me in any way, just tell me. I won't be angry."
Tōshirō Hitsugaya looked at Rangiku Matsumoto with suspicion. Having spent decades with her, he knew her far too well. Perhaps, besides Gin Ichimaru, he was the Rangiku Matsumoto Rangiku Matsumoto Rangiku Matsumoto.
"Fine!" Rangiku Matsumoto was on the verge of tears, raising her hands high. "I'll tell you everything, I just hope the captain will be lenient with me."
"Hmm!" Tōshirō Hitsugaya looked at Rangiku Matsumoto with an "I knew it" expression. "Go on, tell me."
"This is what happened," Rangiku Matsumoto was forced to recall, "That day I came out of the conference room, then I drank too much, and then, I was targeted by people from the newspaper... and then..."
Rangiku Matsumoto didn't finish her sentence, but Tōshirō Hitsugaya already understood everything...
"So that day you told me you weren't feeling well, but you actually went drinking, right?! And I trusted you so much." Tōshirō Hitsugaya crossed his arms, veins bulging on his forehead. "And not only did you drink too much, you also got tricked into revealing information. The dignified lieutenant of the Tenth Division of the Gotei 13, tricked into revealing information, right!?"
"Uh... hehehe..." Rangiku Matsumoto laughed awkwardly, and the next second, she shamelessly clung to Tōshirō Hitsugaya's leg, "Captain, I didn't mean to, just this once, really."
"Heh heh heh... I don't believe you! How many times has this happened?!" Tōshirō Hitsugaya looked incredulous. "Enough nonsense, go back to the barracks and go into seclusion. I'm punishing you by forbidding you from touching alcohol for a month!"
"What?!" Rangiku Matsumoto exclaimed in shock, "Captain, how could you be so vicious?! How can a Soul Reaper not drink alcohol?!"
"How can Soul Reaper drink all day?!" Tōshirō Hitsugaya coldly stared at Rangiku Matsumoto. "Of course Soul Reaper can't drink! You bastard!"
"Ah... no!"
A hysterical roar erupted from the Tenth Division's captain's room, echoing throughout the entire barracks.
Meanwhile, the Twelfth Division...
The Mahito was thrown into a huge glass jar by Mayuri Kurotsuchi. The jar contained many strange liquids, through which Mayuri Kurotsuchi could accurately obtain the data he wanted to know.
"I see..." Mayuri Kurotsuchi nodded intermittently as she looked at the data...
"How boring." The Mahito stood somewhat perplexed in the glass tube. At first, he thought that cooperating with Mayuri Kurotsuchi's experiment would involve him doing something... but in the end, it turned out that cooperating with Mayuri Kurotsuchi's experiment was nothing more than standing in a glass test tube and assisting Mayuri Kurotsuchi research... Honestly, it was extremely tedious...
"It is indeed a bit boring." The moment the Mahito finished speaking, the lights in the entire laboratory went out, and the next second, a middle-aged man with brown hair appeared in front of him.
"It's you..." The Mahito looked at the man in front of him, his eyes changing. This man was one of the two extraordinary beings he had sensed in the First Division.
"Hello, visitor from another world. My name is Sōsuke Aizen." The man seemed quite generous, directly stating his real name to the Mahito before him.
" Sōsuke Aizen..." The Mahito didn't say much, but silently memorized the name Sōsuke Aizen.
"I have some questions for you," Sōsuke Aizen said, drawing his Zanpakuto from his waist. "First, open your eyes wide and see... Shatter! Kyōka Suigetsu!"
Mahito didn't care. Since Sōsuke Aizen told him to keep his eyes wide open, he did. At that moment, Mahito thought that everything in front of him was also part of the experiment.
"I wonder if you've ever seen this person before, Master Mahito?!" Sōsuke Aizen said, his appearance changing instantly from a man with short brown hair to a man wearing a captain's haori, with two swords at his waist and an eyepatch on his face. "This man is named Sōgo Shihoin."
"You are... Satoru Gojo?!" The Mahito exclaimed in shock. "You're dead too? Satoru Gojo! Hahahaha... Serves you right! I never thought that even the strongest Cursed Technique like you would die. It seems that the human world has now become our cursed world! Although I'm a little disappointed that I didn't get to see this, I still want to celebrate properly..."
"Oh~" Sōsuke Aizen stood in front of Mahito, listening to Mahito's mad ramblings, and smiled slightly. There was no need to say more; he had already understood everything in a short time... Very good! Very interesting!
"Why aren't you saying anything, Satoru Gojo?!" Mahito was puzzled because he found that Satoru Gojo in front of him was not responding to him at all. "Strange..." Even Mahito noticed something strange at this moment.
"Nothing much, just thinking about something interesting~" Satoru Gojo said in Mahito's eyes, suddenly transforming back into Sōsuke Aizen. "Then, Mahito- sensei, can we discuss this?! Perhaps we can cooperate..."
"You're not Satoru Gojo?!" Mahito stared at the transformed Satoru Gojo, then shook his head. He knew he was probably under some kind of illusion, but it didn't matter. "Come on~ tell me how we can cooperate. I'm quite interested in cooperation~"
"Tell me everything you know about your world." Sōsuke Aizen smiled slightly. "I can grant you your freedom."
"Sure, I can tell you everything I know." The Mahito nodded. "But I don't need freedom. I feel great right now. I have food and drink, and I don't have to worry about life or death. It's wonderful."
"Oh~ You don't need freedom, then what do you need? Tell me." Sōsuke Aizen chuckled at this. He hadn't expected the Mahito to be so eccentric, but that was fine too. "Anything I can do, I'll do."
"Alright!" The Mahito nodded. "If you successfully reach my world, then please kill someone for me."
"Help you kill someone?!" Sōsuke Aizen was taken aback, then smiled slightly. "It's simple."
"Help me kill a man named Satoru Gojo." After receiving Sōsuke Aizen's assurance, Mahito smiled. "He's the strongest in our world, possessing superhuman fighting power. He's an opponent we can't defeat no matter what. But if it were you, perhaps you could. So I don't need freedom; I just need Satoru Gojo dead!"
"Alright!" Sōsuke Aizen agreed readily. Killing Satoru Gojo?! It's a simple matter. Anyway, he only wants to kill Satoru Gojo, it has nothing to do with Sōgo Shihoin. "I can agree to your request. It's a very simple matter. What you can't do is a piece of cake for me. Don't doubt me, I have that kind of strength, absolute strength."
"I believe you. I felt it the first time I saw you, that power that was so immense it defied description..." The Mahito nodded, seemingly agreeing with Sōsuke Aizen's words, "That's a power that far surpasses the limits of what I know! A power far beyond my imagination."
"Hehehe..." Sōsuke Aizen chuckled lightly after hearing Mahito's words. Perhaps this person before him didn't possess much power, but rather the ability to probe for it. Maybe he could study him a little. Sōsuke Aizen thought to himself, but his face remained expressionless. "Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation in advance."
"Of course." The Mahito nodded. "I don't need you to make any oaths or anything like that. I believe that a strong person of your level wouldn't easily deceive a weakling like me. So I'll tell you everything I know."
"Alright~" Sōsuke Aizen nodded, "I'm listening~ Go ahead and say it~"
"In our world, almost everyone possesses Cursed Energy within their bodies." The Mahito smiled slightly, explaining their world's knowledge to Sōsuke Aizen, "And our curses are born from humanity's negative emotions—fear, jealousy, anger..."
Sōsuke Aizen listened attentively, nodding occasionally. After hearing Mahito's explanation of the curse, he immediately connected it to Hollows. However, Hollows are formed from the negative emotions of individual human souls, while curses are formed from the collective negative emotions of countless people. After listening to Mahito's words, he believed that Mahito's curses were more like Menos Grande...
Those Cursed Technique who punish curses are the Soul Reaper of death in that world.
In short, although the world described by the Mahito has no Soul Reaper or Hollows, it does have Cursed Technique and curses, which is basically the same thing in a different guise...
The Mahito spoke for a very long time, from their alliance with the cursed mage of Bitter Suguru Geto, to their plans to revive Ryomen Sukuna and seal Satoru Gojo, and so on...
After the Mahito finished explaining all the information, an hour had already passed.
"Thank you~" Sōsuke Aizen smiled slightly at the Mahito, "Leave the rest to me."
"Huh!?" The Mahito was taken aback. "Do you perhaps have a way to travel to my world?!"
"The key is the coordinates. With the coordinates, the solution will naturally follow," Sōsuke Aizen said, a slight smile playing on his lips. "And aren't the coordinates right here in front of me?!"
"What are you going to do?!" The Mahito seemed to sense something was wrong, his expression tense. "What are you going to do to me?!"
"I'm just using you as a coordinate, don't worry, it'll be quick." Sōsuke Aizen smiled slightly and took out a jewel that shimmered with bright light from his robes.
"You will become the bridge for me to find Sōgo Shihoin..." Sōsuke Aizen slowly merged with the jewel in his hand, his power continuously rising towards higher dimensions. Until, just Sōsuke Aizen Sōsuke Aizen again transformed into the form of a moth, seemingly ascending to heaven, he made his move. His arm, as if becoming nothingness, passed through the glass container before him and directly grasped the Mahito within. "Tell me the way to other worlds!"
The moment Sōsuke Aizen finished speaking, his Mahito body also lit up, emitting beams of light...
"Ah!!!" The Mahito roared, seemingly in great pain, his body gradually turning into energy...
When the Mahito completely transformed into light, a passageway led straight to the sky...
"Hahaha... Found it!" Sōsuke Aizen laughed loudly, flapping his tattered wings and flying towards the hole in the sky! At this moment, Sōsuke Aizen, the Shinigami who was closest to God among all the Soul Reaper in the world of Soul Reaper, successfully completed his ascension!
If we had to put it in perspective, Sōsuke Aizen at this moment is no longer the closest to God. Having transcended his own world, Sōsuke Aizen has, in a sense, surpassed God! This is a kind of indirect transcendence!
When all the light faded, only the Mahito, his eyes rolled back and his expression seemingly dazed, remained standing with his feet firmly on the ground inside Mayuri Kurotsuchi's experimental barrel...
The world of Cursed Technique Kaisen! Suddenly, a huge crack appeared in the sky, and a man with wings on his back, resembling a large, fluttering moth, and dressed entirely in white, walked out of the crack!
"Another world~ I've arrived~" the man smiled, " Sōgo Shihoin, I've arrived."
I've been a little tired lately, so I'll take a break and start with 4,000.
