Chapter 136

The Zanpakutō in their hands all dropped to the ground, then dissolved into nothingness.

Ichibē Hyōsuke spoke softly, watching the Zanpakutō he could no longer pick up dissolve into a wisp of nothingness.

He muttered a couple of words, then came back to his senses.

"Cutting the rules — so that's how it is."

"All our abilities and realms have been cut off!"

At a single sentence, the crowd burst into an uproar.

At that moment, Kuchiki Senya landed lightly at the gate of Lingwanggong Sect, looking at the members of the Zero Division.

"Bind."

Another slash was swung out, and instantly, an invisible force from all around directly took control of all five of their pools.

"Hmph."

With a cold snort, the corner of Kuchiki Senya's mouth curved upward.

"I told you — with me here, none of you are getting past."

After saying that, he glanced at Aizen again: "What are you still gawking at? Let's go."

Aizen was completely stunned; hearing Kuchiki Senya's words, the wariness in his eyes deepened.

"Don't bother picking up your glasses — you won't be wearing them from now on anyway."

After saying this, Kuchiki Senya took Aizen and headed inside Lingwanggong Sect.

Aizen followed behind without a word, because he felt it was extremely dangerous.

082. There is a scheme within, and Aizen is the chess piece!

Inside the inner palace of the Spirit King, Kuchiki Senya and Aizen walked one behind the other, not far apart.

The further they went in, the heavier the thoughts in Aizen's heart became, and the more uneasy he felt, always sensing that something was off.

It was as if, in the unseen, there was always a pair of eyes watching him.

It also felt as if he were now inside a giant spider web — although he had already realized it, there was nothing he could do, as if some unseen hand kept gripping Aizen and pulling him forward step by step.

Step by step, getting closer and closer.

Originally, there had been other guards inside Wang Gong, but somehow, on this advance, they encountered no resistance at all.

All the way to the outside of the inner palace, looking at the massive floating structure, the two stopped.

"There — we're here."

Kuchiki Senya spoke, turning his head to glance at Aizen.

Aizen heard it, gave a slight nod, and tried to push up his glasses, only to find they had been knocked off his face.

Kuchiki Senya stepped forward two paces and entered first.

Inside the inner palace, the concentration of atmospheric Reishi was absurdly high, and although Aizen was now overwhelmingly powerful, the closer he got, every step became extremely difficult, as if something were pressing down on him, leaving him unable to move.

But fortunately, walking and the like were still possible.

"Let's go."

Kuchiki Senya was completely unaffected — with a single flash, he entered the inner palace; beside him, Aizen steadied himself, adjusted his condition, and followed.

Inside the inner palace, it was plain and simple, without so many luxurious decorations — there were only a few simple things.

At the very innermost, a figure shone Jin Cancan.

Although his eyes were closed in slumber, he still carried an oppressive aura; beneath such immense pressure, one could not help but sense how overwhelmingly powerful the Spirit King's existence was.

Able to create the three worlds.

And now, the ones who had forced their way in were Aizen and Kuchiki Senya.

Of course, the main one was still Kuchiki Senya — without him, Aizen could never have gotten in at all.

"This is the Spirit King."

Aizen spoke, unable to hide the excitement in his heart, and quickly stepped forward, thrilled beyond words in both eyes and heart.

Kuchiki Senya stood behind, watching quietly.

"If you kill the Spirit King, the three worlds will lose their linchpin, and the entire world will collapse."

Hearing Kuchiki Senya's words, Aizen fell silent; looking at the slumbering Spirit King, his eyes were full of excitement.

At last, he had arrived here.

All the effort had been worth it.

Overcome with excitement, Aizen gently reached out his hand, wanting to touch.

But the golden radiance seemed to carry some kind of power — before Aizen could even reach out to touch it, the golden radiance grew brighter and brighter.

As if resisting.

But there was no time to worry about that anymore.

Aizen paused, then spoke coldly.

"His very existence is a sin."

"Kill him, and this sinful world will be gone."

After saying that, Aizen spoke coldly: "Shatter — Kyōka Suigetsu."

In an instant, a stream of water began to coalesce from beneath the ground, flowing directly into Aizen's hand.

He raised Kyōka Suigetsu, aiming it at the slumbering Spirit King: "Sword Pressure."

At the word, the spiritual pressure on the blade was unleashed directly.

The target was the Spirit King.

At the gate, the five members of the Zero Division were firmly bound; they exerted all their strength to struggle, but it was useless.

"Damn it!"

Just as he was cursing furiously, suddenly, due to the telepathic link, it seemed he sensed something.

Suddenly, in unison, they all looked toward the inner palace.

Then came a wave of panic.

"Not good!"

The moment those words left his mouth, the spiritual pressure seemed to slash at their necks as well.

"Soul King!!!"

A heart-wrenching roar, but it was useless, utterly useless.

The spiritual pressure was about to come sweeping down.

At that moment, within the inner palace, Kuchiki Senya spoke softly: "Heaven-Severing Myriad Forms, nullify."

He swung a light blade.

Bang!

With a crisp sound, suddenly, the blade in Aizen's hand was sent flying as well.

Aizen was dumbfounded.

He stared at his empty hands, as if he hadn't even processed what had happened.

He widened his eyes and glanced at Kuchiki Senya.

"What are you doing!?"

"Switching sides~"

Kuchiki Senya looked perfectly at ease, as if nothing had happened at all.

The words "switching sides" came out of his mouth with casual ease.

Aizen was completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at Kuchiki Senya, unable to utter a single word.

Based on what Kuchiki Senya had said, since this guy had claimed he wanted to annoy them to death, he would definitely switch sides.

"Why would you do this?"

"Why?"

"It's very simple."

Kuchiki Senya said with a smile, leaning on Heaven-Severing Myriad Forms in his hand.

"Think about it — if you killed the Soul King, the Three Realms would collapse,"

"I was running a nightclub to begin with. If all these people died, where would I go to make money?"

Those words left Aizen momentarily unable to process them. After thinking it over carefully, it seemed there was nothing wrong with the logic.

But Aizen still didn't understand.

"Then why did you still help me?"
