Chapter 123: Under XP, all beings are equal ()

When Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni woke up from his slumber, it was already seven days later.

Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling above, Yamamoto, who had just woken up, began to think about a very magical question.

Why is he still alive?

Of course, thinking about this question didn't mean Yamamoto wanted to die; it was mainly that he couldn't understand the reason he could survive.

He had activated such a big killer weapon as Zanka no Tachi and attacked Lin Que with the belief of a sure kill.

No matter how he thought about it, the opponent shouldn't have spared his life.

Which step went wrong?

Crack!

Just when Yamamoto couldn't figure out this question no matter how he thought about it, the sound of a door opening suddenly rang out.

"Hmm? Has the Head Captain woken up?"

Under Yamamoto's gaze, Unohana Retsu, who was limping, walked in from outside with Kotetsu Isane, who was also limping.

"It seems you have recovered well; I originally thought you would be in a coma for another week before waking up."

Yamamoto: "?"

What happened? Was his leg broken by someone?

It doesn't look like it.

The strongest single Shinigami in a thousand years, Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni, looked at the Unohana Retsu duo, who had forced smiles on their faces, with some confusion.

A few seconds later, Yamamoto, who felt a pile of questions in his brain, gave up thinking and turned to ask directly.

"What is the situation now?"

"As for now... it's an indescribable situation."

Unohana Retsu, who had just been called by Lin Que to work overtime for a day yesterday, sighed, an indescribable expression appearing on her face.

"In short, no one should expect to have it easy."

The Hollows of Hueco Mundo, the humans of the living world, the Shinigami of the Soul Society.

As long as it fits Lin Que's XP, they are all in a state of equality for all beings in front of him now.

Yamamoto: "???"

So what exactly is the situation?

"It's not convenient for me to explain the specifics."

Seemingly understanding Yamamoto's expression, Unohana Retsu sighed helplessly.

At the beginning, Unohana Retsu naturally resisted Lin Que's Soul Society renovation plan.

But the final result was that she was dragged by Lin Que to compare in all aspects, obtaining a record of zero wins.

And as the winner, Lin Que seemed to be addicted, looking for her to continue sparring every day.

As the biggest victim of this Soul Society renovation plan, Unohana Retsu now had absolutely no mood to explain her absurd state to anyone.

"If Your Excellency the Head Captain is curious, you can go and ask Captain Kyoraku later."

Unohana Retsu raised her hand and signaled to the ward next door: "If it were him, he should be able to explain it to you a bit more clearly."

"Then I will go now."

Reaching out to interrupt Kotetsu Isane's reply, Yamamoto, who had initially recovered, got out of bed directly, pushed the door open, and walked out.

"Head Captain?"

Kotetsu Isane froze for a moment and looked at Unohana Retsu on the North North North Side.

"Captain, what should we do?"

"You stay here and wait for the Head Captain to come back."

Unohana Retsu sighed silently: "I still have to go find Lin Que today, so I won't wait here for him to come back."

Kotetsu Isane looked at her captain with a subtle expression: "You've worked hard, Captain."

Unohana Retsu: "..."

Her palm subconsciously touched her Zanpakuto, and Unohana Retsu began to seriously consider whether to change her lieutenant.

A few minutes later, Kyoraku Shunsui's ward next door.

"What did you say!"

After listening to his disciple's report, Yamamoto was so angry that his beard stood up: "Simply absurd!"

"As captains of the Seireitei, how could you allow such a thing to happen!"

"But this can't be blamed on me."

Kyoraku Shunsui gave a bitter smile and signaled to the bandages on his body: "I did try hard to resist."

Although he was beaten for a slip of the tongue, it was an injury suffered for the Seireitei after all; now that he couldn't even get out of bed, how could one say he hadn't tried hard?

"That won't do either!"

Yamamoto glared at Kyoraku Shunsui: "Even if you have to risk your life, you cannot sit and watch such a thing happen!"

"Spare me, Old Man Yama."

Kyoraku Shunsui raised his hands in surrender: "The gap in strength is too large; risking my life won't change anything."

"But..."

Yamamoto seemed to want to say something more, but when the words reached his mouth, he stopped suddenly.

That's right, the gap in strength is simply too large.

His full-power strike after activating his Bankai couldn't even hurt the opponent's skin, so let alone Kyoraku Shunsui and the others.

Thinking of the scene before he fell into a coma, this strongest Shinigami in a thousand years couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness.

"Old Man Yama, why don't I say we should just let it go for now."

Kyoraku Shunsui's voice came from the North North North Side again: "Although the current situation... is indeed a bit absurd, at least that person's personality is relatively easy to talk to."

"Including you, there were no casualties in the Seireitei after that battle; this is already a very good result."

In fact, this is also the reason why the people of the Seireitei can temporarily accept Lin Que's rule.

Except for some personnel who have to suffer a bit, most people can live safely and live the same life as before.

Not only that, it seems that for some reason, Lin Que also took action to make some real reforms in his spare time.

If the intelligence he received is correct, quite a few nobles with bad records in the Seireitei have been executed this week, and the Central 46 has been abolished directly.

With the Seireitei as the center, the development of the entire Soul Society has begun to flourish.

Isn't this more comfortable than watching that group of brain-dead people in the Central 46 make heaven-defying decisions every day?

To be honest, after witnessing all this with his own eyes, even Kyoraku Shunsui, who had been beaten up, was not so resistant to Lin Que.

"Fool! Wake up!"

Seemingly understanding Kyoraku Shunsui's expression, Yamamoto couldn't help but raise his hand and slap his head.

"Even if there are no big problems yet, his goal is the Soul King!"

"Old Man Yama, I know what you are worried about."

Kyoraku Shunsui sighed: "But do you think someone who can do these things now would be interested in destroying the world?"

Yamamoto was stumped by Kyoraku Shunsui's question.

Would Lin Que destroy the world?

Thinking about the rumors heard from Kyoraku Shunsui, Yamamoto's eye twitched.

This probability... doesn't seem very high.

"Look, you think so too, right."

Kyoraku Shunsui scratched his head: "Well~ anyway, there is no good way for a while, and the opponent has no intention of destroying the world, so let's just maintain it like this for now."

"If you have to say there is any turning point, you can look forward to whether the Quincy will bring out any powerful trump cards when he takes action against the Wandenreich in a few days."

Having lurked for a thousand years, getting a more powerful trump card shouldn't be a problem.

Maybe they could end up in a lose-lose situation with Lin Que, allowing them to pick up the scraps?

Of course, Kyoraku Shunsui knew that this idea of his was basically no different from dreaming.

It's just that under the current situation, this was the only way he could think of.

Pick up scraps if you can, and if you can't, just rot and wait for death.

"I didn't expect that one day, I would have to pin my hopes on those Quincy."

On the other North North North Side, Yamamoto, who had already heard about the Wandenreich from Kyoraku Shunsui, was silent for a long time, his expression becoming somewhat helpless.

"Then let's wait for now..."

Bang—!

Before Yamamoto could finish his sentence, the door of the ward not far away was suddenly pushed open.

"Head Captain! Captain Kyoraku!"

Under the gazes of the two, Kotetsu Isane, who had been waiting outside, ran in.

"Lord Lin Que... news came from his North North North Side, asking the two to go to the 1st Division barracks to gather."

Yamamoto: "..."

Kyoraku Shunsui: "..."

Their conversation shouldn't have been heard by anyone, right?
