Chapter 108

Let Kuchiki Senya join the Zero Division!

Instantly.

Everyone present turned their gaze toward Kuchiki Senya—the figure who, upon hearing the news, hadn't even lifted an eyelid, still quietly drinking.

Fuzen, meanwhile, knit her brows.

Her fists clenched too, then loosened weakly, as if trying to grasp flowing sand, but the sand kept slipping away.

That was an invitation from the Zero Division.

Once joined.

One could obtain the long-dreamed-of immortality, and strength beyond imagination.

Even.

With things as they are now.

Kuchiki Senya's already formidable strength could rise a step further, rivaling the Head Captain!

She.

Truly could not think of.

Any reason for Kuchiki Senya to refuse.

Beside her.

Rukia also widened her eyes, simply quietly watching the still-absurd Kuchiki Senya.

In the hall.

The atmosphere fell silent.

Only from Kuchiki Senya's direction came the clinking of cups and the faint sound of drinking.

"I refuse."

Kuchiki Senya's words were calm.

He shook his head, as if the seat of the Zero Division were less enticing than the fine wine in his hand.

"But…"

Below.

The intelligence officer was already dumbfounded, his mind a blank!

Someone would refuse such terms?!

That was the Zero Division!

However.

Kuchiki Senya merely waved a hand, and the intelligence officer, taking the hint, withdrew to return to Soul Society and report back.

Below.

Fuzen and Rukia.

Both wore utterly baffled expressions.

However.

On Fuzen's face, a faint delight still surfaced.

One must understand—joining the Zero Division meant one could only reside in the Royal Palace for life, protecting the Soul King!

One could not possibly leave.

Nor would one have much contact with the outside world.

Now.

Kuchiki Senya had refused.

Though it was inconceivable, at the very least he would still remain here, remain in the living world…

"Lord Senya, is it truly alright?" Beside her, Rukia asked cautiously.

Joining the Zero Division.

Was the Soul King's decree; throughout all of Soul Society, the Soul King's decree was revered without question.

But.

Now.

Kuchiki Senya had openly defied the Soul King's decree! If this matter were to be investigated thoroughly…

On the soft sofa, Kuchiki Senya merely drank his wine, lazily waving a hand.

The Zero Division?

Ridiculous!

Although.

In the original work.

The Zero Division had always been portrayed positively.

Yet Kuchiki Senya knew full well that the Zero Division's existence had nothing to do with protecting some Soul King.

It was to protect their own hope of immortality, and the power in their hands that ordinary people could never reach!

The Soul King's decree?

That was simply the Zero Division's decree!

Moreover, even if he joined the Zero Division, would it truly be a good thing for him?

One must understand.

Upon joining the Zero Division, a member's body would be altered by the Soul King's power—at that point, would he still be himself?

And besides.

His own strength.

In just a hundred years, he had reached the level of Head Captain!

For Shinigami, whose lifespans routinely stretched to a thousand or even several thousand years, it was but the snap of a finger!

As long as he kept on enjoying life, sooner or later he would surpass the peak that his predecessors could scarcely reach!

When that time came.

Immortality.

Would no longer be a luxury!

Join the Zero Division, be trapped in that tiny Wang Gong, spending every day facing a Spirit King chopped into a human stick?

What enjoyment of life would there be left? It would simply be asking for trouble!

Kuchiki Senya.

Believed only in his own strength!

Senya Entertainment City.

In the topmost private room.

Having decisively refused both groups of people from the Gotei 13 and the Zero Division.

Kuchiki Senya continued to lie on the sofa, lazily listening to soothing music.

Before him.

Hisana, however, was far more enthusiastic, dancing gracefully; just watching her movements, one could sense the joy leaping in her heart.

Rukia, on the other hand, obediently came over to massage Kuchiki Senya's shoulders.

Above.

Kuchiki Senya felt the attentive service of the two sisters, breathed in the faint fragrance beside him, and the corner of his mouth curved into a smile.

【Ding.】

【Congratulations to the Host for refusing the position of Head Captain and the invitation of the Zero Division, persisting in lying flat as a salted fish, enjoying life, and obtaining the title "Steadfast Salted Fish".】

【Reward obtained: Holographic Dominion!】

Oh?

Kuchiki Senya examined the system panel and took a light sip of wine.

Holographic Dominion: Can completely conceal one's own aura; no one can detect any fluctuation of flesh and blood, or fluctuation of spiritual power!

Moreover.
