In a vast, white space...
"Snap~" Sōgo Shihoin casually closed the comic book in his hand and then gently placed it back on the bookshelf.
"That's great, what a wonderful ending~" Sōgo Shihoin recalled the contents of the manga, and pinched his slightly sore nose and eye sockets.
"I'll come visit you guys again sometime when I have the chance~" Sōgo Shihoin said, picking up a crystal ball from the table. Inside the crystal ball were people working diligently. There were teachers teaching classes, and there were students who didn't pay attention in class, only knew how to date, and were criticized by the teacher and had their parents called in. They were angrily shouting, "We are students of pure love!"
There are beautiful high school students who became popular idols in Japan at a young age, and there is a beautiful high school student's older sister who won an Olympic gold medal while others were still in school.
All sorts of people, all kinds of people, live inside a small crystal ball...
"I have to keep you safe and not lose you," said Sōgo Shihoin, carefully placing the small crystal ball into his pocket. It was his most precious treasure.
And so, after traveling through one world, Sōgo Shihoin returned to Soul Society once again...
In the Seireitei, thus without form, known as the Quincy Wandenreich, a man of overwhelming power sits quietly on his throne.
"All our last resorts have failed," the man muttered to himself. "It's all fate. Since that's the case, there's nothing we can do. Let's begin this final battle!"
The man was the mastermind behind everything, the one who banished Sōgo Shihoin from the world. However, he was helpless at this moment, all his efforts were in vain, because with the help of Sōsuke Aizen, Sōgo Shihoin returned to the world and his connection with the world became even more deeply rooted!
The world has its own consciousness. When it is unable to expel Sōgo, it will think of other ways, such as making itself stronger, strong enough to withstand an existence like Sōgo Shihoin!
However, the evolution of the world is not as simple as it seems. Just as human progress requires learning and energy, the world is the same. So from the very beginning, the world made two preparations. While expelling Sōgo Shihoin, it was also to obtain external information in order to evolve itself.
After the plan to expel Sōgo Shihoin failed, the world began to embark on a path of transformation. This path first required data from other worlds, and then sufficient energy. At this point, the world set its sights on Yhwach!
In other words, Yhwach has now become, like his father Soul King, the fuel that sustains the evolution of the world!
Yhwach, however, was not going to sit idly by and wait for his doom, so Yhwach decided that he would fight to the very end!
Just as prophesied, he will destroy the entire Soul Society in a thousand years!
He will absorb the power of his father, the Soul King, to achieve a perfect state, and then he Sōgo Shihoin!
It remains to be seen who discovered the feminine within him, but Yhwach still has a chance to win and become the only the Almighty god standing in the sky!
" Little Fon Fon ~" Sōgo Shihoin pushed open the door to the Second Division's captain's room and leaped inside. "I'm back~"
"How dare you!" Shaoling Fon glared at Sōgo Shihoin in anger and kicked him.
With a soft "thud," Sōgo Shihoin was sent flying backward.
"Eh!?" Sōgo Shihoin collapsed to the ground, looking completely innocent. "No, no, this isn't right. It shouldn't be like this. When I came back, you should have given me a warm welcome, then rushed into my arms and cried, then punched my chest with your little fists, saying, 'You bad guy, you just left without a word,' right?"
"How dare you, Sōsuke Aizen!" Just as Sōgo Shihoin still complaining, Shaoling Fon burst into fury, "You actually, you actually dared to use Kyōka Suigetsu on me!"
" Sōgo, you're moving too fast..." Just as Shaoling Fon was furious, she pointed her slender finger at Sōgo Shihoin and scolded him.
A man with short brown hair slowly walked into the captain's room of the Second Division.
"..." Sōsuke Aizen looked at the scene before him in silence. "I'm sorry, I came at the wrong time."
After speaking, Sōsuke Aizen remained silent, turned and left the captain's room.
Immediately afterward, the atmosphere between Shaoling Fon and Sōgo Shihoin became awkward.
"Sou... Sōgo!?" Shaoling Fon asked tentatively.
"Hmm." Sōgo Shihoin covered his slapped face and nodded, looking aggrieved. "You actually hit me!?"
"Uh..." Shaoling Fon hurriedly ran to Sōgo Shihoin, lifted Sōgo's face and examined him closely, "Are you really Sōgo? Are you sure you're not that Kyōka Suigetsu from Sōsuke Aizen?"
"Of course~" Sōgo Shihoin the petite Shaoling Fon in his arms. "I am Sōgo Shihoin ~ I went to play in other worlds for a while, and now I'm back!"
"Other worlds... Sōgo, did you really go to other worlds?" Shaoling Fon was taken aback. "Right now, the entire Seireitei is talking about other worlds."
"Of course." Sōgo Shihoin and took out a crystal ball from his pocket. "I did indeed go to other worlds."
"Look..." Sōgo Shihoin pointed to the crystal ball in his hand and smiled slightly, "I've put the whole world inside this."
"Wow... so beautiful." Shaoling Fon's eyes lit up as she looked at the sparkling crystal ball. "This crystal ball is really beautiful."
"Hahaha..." Sōgo Shihoin laughed smugly, "If it looks good, I'll give it to you~"
"This... is this alright?" Shaoling Fon hesitated, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"It's alright." Sōgo Shihoin handed the crystal ball to Shaoling Fon. "Just be careful not to break it. I'm going to find Old Man Yama and the others now."
"Okay~" Shaoling Fon nodded slightly, then stared intently at the crystal ball in her hand.
This shimmering material is quite attractive to Shaoling Fon.
" Captain Shihoin!"
Good morning, Captain Shihoin!
Good morning, Captain Shihoin!
"Isn't that Captain Shihoin?"
Along the way, countless members of the Second Division greeted Sōgo Shihoin.
"Hello." Sōgo Shihoin smiled and greeted each member of the team, then left the Second Division's barracks alone and headed towards the First Division's barracks of the Gotei 13.
Unparalleled in the world!
When Shifouin Sougo bypassed the guards and entered directly into the first team's team building, he happened to see Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who was holding a huge brush and writing the four characters "The World is Unparalleled".
"You are..." Captain-Commander Yamamoto turned and looked at Sōgo Shihoin before finally nodding. "Welcome back."
"Is everything alright in Soul Society while I was away?" Sōgo Shihoin casually walked over to Yamamoto, picked up the teacup on the table, poured himself a cup, and took a sip. "This tea is a bit bitter."
"Only through bitterness can one truly appreciate sweetness!" Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai shook his head. "At my age, I naturally can't appreciate sweetness as much anymore."
"It seems your life is too sweet." Sōgo Shihoin put the tea aside. "If your life were even a little bit bitter, you wouldn't be drinking something so bitter."
"..." Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly. He rarely smiled, but he did smile now. "The children who were ignorant before have all grown up and have pillars of support to take over from me. Isn't this kind of world sweet?"
"As expected of Captain-Commander Yamamoto, he never pays attention to himself, but to the entire Soul Society," Sōgo Shihoin flattered. "However, I don't have such ambitions. Don't tell me you're talking about being your successor. Me? I can't take over your position; it's too tiring."
"Hahaha..." Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, "So many people want my position, but none are qualified. The only one who is qualified to succeed me as the head of the Gotei 13 has turned the position into a monstrous beast. What a cruel twist of fate! But perhaps it is destiny!"
"Hehe..." Sōgo Shihoin chuckled softly, "You should just focus on training Kyōraku ~"
"Let's not talk about that." Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai gently shook his head. "Is the other world real?"
"Of course." Sōgo Shihoin. "I went! And then I came back."
"Is it possible for us to launch a large-scale invasion of another world?" Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai pondered for a moment before voicing his doubts. "Besides our world, how many other worlds are there?"
"I haven't counted them, but there are definitely many, that's a fact." Sōgo Shihoin shook his head slightly upon hearing this. "A large-scale invasion of another world is possible, but it's pointless."
"It's meaningless?" Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai frowned upon hearing this. "Why is it meaningless? As long as we continue to increase the strength of the world, many things can be resolved. This world is ultimately too fragile for people like you and me."
"Even if the world becomes more powerful, it can't stop your Bankai Old Man Yama." Sōgo Shihoin shook his head upon hearing this. "Anyway, I have absolutely no interest in invading other worlds. With each world we take on its soul, our responsibilities become heavier. I have no interest in work whatsoever. What I want to do most right now is quit my job and... get some rest!"
"Resign!?" Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai's eyelids twitched slightly upon hearing this. "You mean...?!"
"What I mean is..." Sōgo Shihoin, picking up where Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, "... I'm resigning from the captain's position!!!"
"What!?" Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai exclaimed in surprise, "Are you sure? That's the captain of the Second Division, someone your Shihoin Family has built up over a thousand years!"
"Of course!" Sōgo Shihoin. "However, although I said I wouldn't do it anymore, I didn't mean to hand over the Second Division. After all, as you said, it's the business our Shihōin Clan has built up over a thousand years. So what I mean is, it's fine to hand over the Second Division to Shaoling Fon."
" Shaoling Fon..." Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai. "It's fine to entrust her to Shaoling Fon. That girl has the ability to stand on her own, and her Bankai is also excellent."
"Of course!" Sōgo Shihoin smiled slightly upon hearing Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai praise Shaoling Fon, and gave her a thumbs up. "My Little Fon is unparalleled!"
"Hmm!?" Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai raised an eyebrow after hearing Sōgo Shihoin's words. The words themselves didn't seem like much, but when taken together...
"So, Yama-jii, as the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13 and the Captain of the First Division, shouldn't you say something when you hear about a new captain?!" Sōgo Shihoin stretched out his hand and waved it repeatedly at Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai.
"Give this to Captain Soi Fon!" Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai's eye twitched. When he needed someone, he was called "Yama-jii," but when he didn't, he was called " Old Man Yama." Humph! Shihoin!
"On behalf of Little Fon, I thank you, Yama-jii ~" Sōgo Shihoin picked up the calligraphy and painting in his hand and smiled slightly. "Oh, by the way, please add one more line here: 'Shaoling Fon '."
"..." Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai silently looked at Sōgo Shihoin, finally sighed helplessly, picked up his brush, and added another line above the existing characters, " Captain Soi Fon, Second Division, this should be fine, right?"
"Thank you~" Sōgo Shihoin carefully put away the calligraphy that Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai had given to Shaoling Fon. With this calligraphy, even though Shaoling Fon's background was not outstanding, it was enough to intimidate the entire Seireitei and allow her to become a captain with peace of mind. Although Shaoling Fon had him as her backer, this was, after all, Seireitei, and sometimes, his name was not as effective as Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai's words.
"Go ahead," Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, shaking his head as he looked at Sōgo Shihoin.
"Alright~" Sōgo Shihoin took the calligraphy and painting and went to the tailor shop in Soul Society that made custom haori.
"Make me a haori according to these measurements." Sōgo Shihoin handed the measurements to the seamstress who was writing something at the counter.
"Everything in our shop requires a reservation. Do you have a reservation?!" the little tailor said, raising her head to look at Sōgo Shihoin. " Captain Shihoin!?" The little tailor was shocked when she saw Sōgo Shihoin, not expecting the head of one of the Five Great Noble Clans to be here.
"Huh?! Do I need to make an appointment?" Sōgo Shihoin, somewhat confused. "I didn't make an appointment!!"
"Hahaha... don't mention it." The little tailor shook her head repeatedly upon hearing this. "Of course you don't need an appointment. It's other people who need appointments, and you're not among them. Do you have your measurements? What material do you want?"
"The size is here, and the material must be exactly the same as mine," Sōgo Shihoin said, pointing to his own haori. "It has to be exactly the same."
"This set is made with the best materials we have here!" The little tailor put on her glasses and carefully examined the haori on Sōgo Shihoin's clothes, then nodded slightly. "Don't worry! It's absolutely perfect. We'll expedite the process for you now, and it should be finished in about an hour."
"Alright!" Sōgo Shihoin nodded in satisfaction. "You can just go to the Shihoin Family to get the money."
