Chapter 105

Their existence.

For the sake of the Three Worlds, is it truly a good thing?

Is it truly for the stability of the Three Worlds?

Or is it because he cannot bear to part with his own chance at immortality! Cannot bear to part with the power in his hands, the strength of his control!

Moreover.

Aizen never truly made a move against Rukia, and when fighting the captain, he only wounded him.

To rob them of the ability to resist.

The man as a whole is different from that pervert Tsunayashiro Tokinada of the later period.

His killing intent was not great; everything was for the sake of achieving his own goal.

And he.

Although he had schemed against me before, he never truly made a move against me.

It was only to make his own plan more perfect.

Las Noches was split in two with a single slash.

The loss of over a hundred Hollows.

The lost left ear.

The shattered Kyoka Suigetsu…

Had already given Aizen sufficient warning.

……

At this moment.

The entire Soul Society was stirred into a great uproar because of the name Kuchiki Senya!

New book on the shelves, begging for flowers, begging for subscriptions! Nai.

069. Heh, I only believe in my own strength.

Senya Pavilion.

A scene of peace and tranquility.

In the air.

The fragrance of wine still drifted about.

The aroma of food.

The battles outside had not disturbed Senya Pavilion at all; inside, it remained tranquil and luxurious.

Kuchiki Senya's figure had long since vanished without a trace.

And.

At the top of Senya Pavilion.

Within the pavilion, there was a faint ripple of space, seemingly connected to the World of the Living.

And inside the pavilion.

Several people were sleeping deeply.

Not long after.

The drunken Yoruichi, Bai Zai, and Suì-Fēng woke up one after another, their gazes unfocused as they stared at the ceiling.

Their heads were dizzy and heavy.

Judging by their capacity for drink alone, they were far inferior to Kuchiki Senya.

"Mm?"

"Where's Senya?"

The few of them looked around, but no matter how hard they searched, they could not find any trace of Kuchiki Senya.

"Damn!"

"Rukia's execution!"

"And that group of Ryoka—what happened to them in the end!"

The few of them immediately stood up and rushed outside…

The moment they stepped out.

They were hit by a pungent smell of blood.

Everywhere were wounded people; even the ground seemed to have been plowed over!

Everywhere they looked were crisscrossing massive ravines! A scene that had endured an incomparably fierce great battle!

Ruins and rubble—nothing more than this.

Bai Zai, Yoruichi, and the others all widened their eyes, their lips trembling.

This…

Were those Ryoka's combat abilities really that strong?!

Yoruichi was even more completely dumbfounded, unable to make head or tail of it.

Among the Ryoka.

The strongest, Kurosaki Ichigo, had already been defeated by Senya.

And the others had all been captured—so how could they have caused such an enormous impact?!

Soul Society—what on earth happened?!

Not long after.

A person came walking toward them.

Her long braid covered her collarbones, and her face was gentle, though the weariness could not be hidden — her stamina had been greatly depleted.

"Captain Unohana..."

Yoruichi's face grew grave; come to think of it, she was still a fugitive of Soul Society.

Running into a captain of the Gotei Thirteen was clearly not a good thing.

However.

"Four-six-zero."

After that, Unohana Retsu merely smiled gently, looking at Yoruichi.

"There's no need to panic."

"The mastermind behind every scheme is the former captain of the Fifth Division — Aizen!"

……

Not long after.

The few of them learned the full cause and effect of everything, and one after another their eyes went wide, faces full of disbelief!

Aizen had betrayed them!

He had single-handedly taken on the entire Gotei Thirteen, and had even colluded with Hueco Mundo!

Most importantly!

Kuchiki Senya had actually activated his Bankai — Terminus Annihilation!

He had broken through Kyoka Suigetsu! Even when Aizen went all out, he could not stand against Kuchiki Senya!

Senya's strength.

Had already reached an unimaginable level!

"Big brother, he..."

Bai Zai turned his head.

He looked toward Senya Pavilion.

In his eyes, there was a look brimming with complex emotion.

His own brother.

Although he was very much a slacker, often drinking.

However.

Even so.

He had still walked to such a point!

He had carried out such an earth-shaking, heaven-rending feat!

Truly, he had brought the entire Kuchiki clan to the very pinnacle of Soul Society!
