"Bump!"
With a whooshing sound, the imposter Sōgo Shihoin moved, transforming into a black lightning bolt and instantly appearing in front of Sōgo Shihoin form.
Immediately afterward, the imposter Sōgo Shihoin smiled slightly, his right hand forming a claw as he reached out to grab Sōgo Shihoin's head.
"Interesting..."
Faced with the imposter's Lightning-Fast attack, Sōgo Shihoin remained remarkably calm, slightly bending down to easily dodge it.
"Boom!"
Instantly, a deafening roar echoed in the ears of countless Soul Reaper and Quincy, and a terrifying shockwave blasted away countless houses in the vicinity.
"How scary!"
"Such formidable power, getting hit by it would be disastrous."
Sōgo Shihoin stared at the imposter before him with an expression that showed absolutely no fear.
"I'm a little scared. Maybe you really can defeat me." Sōgo Shihoin behind his back. "I won't miss something this interesting. I'll give you a chance. From now on, I won't use my hands. I'll let you defeat me. How about it?!"
"You're sick!" The imposter, Sōgo Shihoin, glared at the real guy, his lungs practically about to explode. "You'll pay for this!"
"Make me pay the price now!"
Sōgo Shihoin smiled; he was extremely eager to know what price he would have to pay.
"Die!" the imposter Sōgo Shihoin shouted, a blue light flashing from his arm—the light produced after he injected Spiritual Pressure into his arm.
The imposter Sōgo Shihoin could easily destroy a small mountain with a single punch like that.
"So strong~" Sōgo Shihoin looked at the whistling punch coming towards him and stretched out one of his fingers.
"Ding~"
The moment that invincible fist touched Sōgo Shihoin's fingers, a crisp sound rang out, and the imposter Sōgo Shihoin's fist broke.
"You bastard!"
Didn't you say you wouldn't use your hands?
"Since you said you wouldn't use your hands, why are you suddenly using them now?!"
The imposter Sōgo Shihoin, seeing the real Sōgo Shihoin his promise, shouted angrily.
"Ah~" Sōgo Shihoin smiled as he heard this, "I forgot..."
"You bastard..."
The imposter, Sōgo Shihoin, felt fooled in that instant, and his blood pressure spiked. He removed his blindfold and stared intently at Sōgo Shihoin with his bloodshot, red eyes.
I'm going to kill you.
The imposter Sōgo Shihoin vowed to kill the real Sōgo Shihoin before him.
"I know~"
"So hurry up and come!"
"Don't let me down... You must fight me with all your might."
I will try my best to suppress myself, otherwise I might accidentally kill you.
Sōgo Shihoin stood before him, hysterically spewing a smirk that screamed "It's either you or me!"—a smirk that would infuriate any normal person.
"Go to hell!" the imposter Sōgo Shihoin roared, his body turning into a blur as he instantly rushed in front of the real Sōgo Shihoin. He clenched his right fist tightly and once again punched at the head of the real Sōgo Shihoin.
Sōgo Shihoin once again bent slightly to avoid it, just like before.
"Go to hell!"
This time, the imposter Sōgo Shihoin smiled slightly. He seemed to have already guessed Sōgo Shihoin's attack route. After his punch missed, he immediately kicked Sōgo Shihoin in the lower back.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Facing the attack aimed at his kidneys, which was intended to destroy his future happiness, Sōgo Shihoin slightly shifted his body and easily dodged it.
"That was terrifying..."
"How could you imagine such a terrifying attack?!"
Is it to destroy my future happiness?
"How cruel, so incredibly cruel!"
Seeing the attack before him, Sōgo Shihoin took several steps back and then shook his head repeatedly.
"You bastard..."
"Can you stand still and let me punch you?!"
The imposter Sōgo Shihoin looked at the calm and Sōgo Shihoin in front of him, his eyes narrowing. He really wanted to punch Sōgo Shihoin in that arrogant face.
Okay~
"Then hit me in the cheek!"
"I'll stand here and not move, and let you attack me. If you can land even one punch on me, I'll admit you're stronger than me, and I'll immediately commit suicide here. From now on, there will only be one Sōgo Shihoin in Soul Society, and that will be you. How about it?!"
Sōgo Shihoin smiled as he recounted the story, his tone full of mockery.
It seems that Sōgo Shihoin is quite interested in this fake version of himself with those dark circles under his eyes—an interest that can only be described as teasing.
"Sōgo Shihoin, do you think you can fool me like this?!"
"Ever since you tricked me, I've learned my lesson. Sōgo Shihoin, you've made me understand a valuable truth."
"More than 90% of what you've told me is nonsense."
The imposter Sōgo Shihoin's eyes gleamed with boundless wisdom comparable to that of the Water Goddess, and he spoke coldly.
"You—" Upon hearing this, Sōgo Shihoin looked at the imposter standing in front of him with an incredulous expression and exclaimed in surprise, "You figured it out? My goodness! Could it be that you're not actually one of those idiots I saw, but a genius? That's amazing. As expected, men who look like me are never stupid."
"You bastard..."
"What nonsense are you spouting, you bastard!"
The imposter Sōgo Shihoin, shouted angrily.
"Sōgo!" Just as the imposter Sōgo Shihoin was about to continue his attack, a flash of thunder suddenly streaked across the sky...
Shaoling Fon, descended from the sky, holding a girl who had already fainted in the hand of the enormous steel giant she was controlling.
The girl had long, bright green hair, a pretty face, and an incredibly voluptuous figure.
"Sōgo, I've dealt with the Quincy..."
"Seeing her stunning figure, with her ample breasts and curvy hips, which seemed to be your type, I spared her life."
Shaoling Fon held the girl in her hand and spoke to Sōgo Shihoin in a kind voice.
"Really..."
"As expected, only you, Little Fon Fon, are my true love..."
"Wait, no, my Little Fon Fon would never be that kind..."
Sōgo Shihoin looked at Shaoling Fon with emotion, but suddenly he seemed to understand something.
"Is this a setup?!"
"The Little Fon Fon interrupted the fishing!"
Sōgo Shihoin's eyes, hidden beneath his eyepatch, seemed to see through everything at that moment; he had completely guessed Shaoling Fon's thoughts.
"Little Fon Fon, what are you saying?"
Am I that kind of person?
"I am completely Isshin to you."
"Why would I be interested in other women..."
Sōgo Shihoin's eyes were brimming with tears. Although his eyes were hidden under a black eyepatch and no one else could see them, he still did his best to put on a convincing performance.
"Sōgo..."
Shaoling Fon seemed very moved; she was somewhat excited and called out to the Sōgo Shihoin.
"Little Fon Fon..."
Upon hearing this, Sōgo Shihoin responded with equal excitement.
"Sōgo..."
"Little Fon Fon..."
The two of them, oblivious to everyone else on the battlefield, gazed at each other with deep affection.
"Enough!"
Finally, the fake Sōgo Shihoin could no longer bear it. He roared, interrupting the heartfelt exchange between Shaoling Fon and Sōgo Shihoin.
"Captain Soi Fon, help me! Let's take down this fake Sōgo Shihoin together!"
The fake Sōgo Shihoin angrily addressed Shaoling Fon.
"With you?"
Upon hearing this, Shaoling Fon noticed the man in front of her Sōgo Shihoin, but was extremely slovenly and lacked any of Sōgo Shihoin's dashing appearance. She was taken aback.
"That's right!" The fake Sōgo Shihoin, pointing a finger at the real Sōgo Shihoin, and coldly shouted, "Let's join forces and quickly drive this demon out of Soul Society! We absolutely cannot let him continue to wreak havoc on Soul Society; we must deal with him."
"Yeah?!"
"So, in other words, if we join forces here, we can defeat this monster?!"
Shaoling Fon sat in the control room, intently watching the fake Sōgo Shihoin.
"That's right, that's right."
"If the two of us join forces, we can completely eliminate this monster and restore peace to the world."
The fake Sōgo Shihoin was speaking from the heart; he genuinely believed that kicking Sōgo Shihoin out of here was the greatest act of kindness towards the world.
"But... I refuse." Shaoling Fon answered without hesitation, "The principle of our Second Division is to not do anything inhumane. I absolutely cannot go against the beliefs I've upheld my entire life for the sake of world peace."
"Uh..." The fake Sōgo Shihoin opened his mouth wide after hearing Shaoling Fon's words. What she said was so reasonable and well-founded that he was powerless to refute it.
"Am I not important enough?!" The fake Sōgo Shihoin pointed to his own cheek, "Was all the time we spent together a lie?!"
"Sir..."
I don't know if you've made a mistake.
"The Sōgo Shihoin is actually an ancient term in our Soul Society. It's not a name; its true meaning is 'invincible.'"
"In other words, whoever is invincible is the true Sōgo Shihoin..."
"A noob like you doesn't deserve the name Sōgo Shihoin."
Shaoling Fon widened her eyes, and with a smile, she spoke, her gaze radiating the unique wisdom of the Second Division.
"Wow, you guys are really awesome..."
"I'd give you guys a perfect score for this explanation, okay?"
"I admit it, I'm an imposter. It's not that you exposed me, it's that I don't want to play with a bunch of lunatics anymore."
"It's better not to conquer Soul Society; they're all a bunch of lunatics."
The fake Sōgo Shihoin, looking utterly humiliated, wore a disgusting smile and spoke loudly.
"Is this guy crazy?"
Looking at the fake Sougo Shihouin with his manic smile, Sōgo Shihoin asked Sōgo Shihoin Shaoling Fon, who was standing nearby.
"He must be insane."
Upon hearing Shaoling Fon, Fengshaoling nodded slightly.
"This is really boring."
"I thought he would be a little stronger..."
"This is rubbish..."
After receiving Shaoling Fon Sōgo Shihoin helplessly. He had thought that this thing, created by the enemy as a finishing move, could keep him entertained for a while, but it turned out to be so trash that he could hardly bear to look at it.
"Go to hell!"
"Destroy!"
"I'm fucking tired..."
The fake Sōgo Shihoin down on the ground, looking at Sōgo Shihoin.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you, but I hope we never meet again in the next life."
As he spoke, Sōgo Shihoin drew his Sayafushi from his waist. Then, holding the Sayafushi, he lightly waved it at the fake Sōgo Shihoin, and instantly, the fake Sōgo Shihoin vanished before his eyes.
Sōgo Shihoin, facing a being he had driven mad and who looked exactly like him, did not pull out his own Da Jiba to humiliate his enemy. Instead, he chose to end the fight with Sayafushi sword, sending the enemy to his death. This was the greatest respect Sōgo Shihoin to his enemy.
"Little Fon."
"The enemy has been dealt with!"
After swiftly dispatching his disguised enemy with a single strike, Sōgo Shihoin wiped non-existent beads of sweat from his forehead, looking utterly exhausted.
"What a closely fought battle!"
I feel completely exhausted.
Sōgo Shihoin sighed as he spoke.
"Stop pretending, Sōgo."
"You clearly don't even have any ability to use."
Shaoling Fon looked at Sōgo Shihoin and sighed helplessly.
"Ha ha ha ha..."
"You're making it sound like I'm slacking off."
"I didn't slack off."
"I'm working really hard!"
Sōgo Shihoin stood with his hands on his hips and spoke with a grin.
"Alright! Sōgo."
"Stop saying that! What exactly happened up there?!"
Shaoling Fon pointed to the Soul King Palace above everyone's heads.
"From the moment I started, I could feel a tremendous malice emanating from there, directed at the entire Soul Society..."
"Sōgo, will there be any problems there?!"
Shaoling Fon was still somewhat worried. After all, the Soul King Palace held a different significance for the Soul Reaper. If even the Soul King Palace were to encounter problems, then all the Soul Reaper in the entire Soul Society might lose the courage to continue fighting.
The great Lord Soul King, who created the Three Realms and is the spiritual leader of all Soul Reaper, must never be harmed.
"Hahaha..."
Don't worry, Little Fon!
"Everything will be alright."
"That's just another scene that happened countless years ago."
Sōgo Shihoin seemed unconcerned about what was happening at the Soul King Palace; he appeared to have already witnessed everything.
"Everything that is meant to happen will happen, no matter how much we try to avoid it. We just need to be patient and wait quietly."
Sōgo Shihoin looked up at the sky and spoke with an extremely calm expression.
At that moment, it seemed that Sōgo Shihoin had seen through everything...
