Chapter 141

Old man Yamamoto sat in his seat while Captain-Commander Kyoraku stood nearby.

Kuchiki Senya walked in from outside, an apple appearing in his hand at some unknown moment.

"Tell me, what is Aizen's goal?" Yamamoto's Heavy Strike looked at Kuchiki Senya.

"The goal... to become the strongest in the universe and coexist with the universe. But rest assured, I have already resolved him." Kuchiki Senya said carelessly.

Hearing this, Yamamoto's Heavy Strike also frowned. He looked at Kuchiki Senya and said, "What have you uncovered?"

"Bounto Isshin told me you made a discovery and asked me to inquire." Yamamoto's Heavy Strike said.

Kuchiki Senya sat cross-legged, propped his head up to think, and told him everything that happened after he entered the Dangai.

"You mean Yhwach?" Yamamoto's Heavy Strike's expression suddenly changed.

"That's right. If I recall correctly, he should have been sealed by you, correct?" Kuchiki Senya asked.

Yamamoto's Heavy Strike nodded. At this moment, Yhwach was still under seal, and there was not the slightest sign of the seal breaking.

"That explains it. His ability is All-Seeing All-Knowing. Perhaps he guessed your thoughts long ago. The trap he set began centuries ago, back when he was sealed." Kuchiki Senya said indifferently.

"I detected that the Hōgyoku finally went to Hueco Mundo, and just at this time, humans directly turning into Hollows appeared. Can you guess why? Is this the first time the Hōgyoku has gone to Hueco Mundo?" Kuchiki Senya continued asking.

At this moment, Yamamoto's Heavy Strike's brows were tightly furrowed as he pondered whether Kuchiki Senya's words were trustworthy.

"If it is truly as you say, then why did we detect nothing? Moreover, according to your account, Aizen should have already visited Hueco Mundo. But if the passage to Hueco Mundo opened, we would certainly have noticed." Yamamoto's Heavy Strike continued speaking.

Upon hearing this, Kuchiki Senya sneered disdainfully.

"Captain-Commander Yamamoto, you think too highly of Soul Society's security." Kuchiki Senya shook his head.

"I returned from the Dangai earlier. Although I saw the guards, if I did not wish to be discovered, I could leave easily."

"And with the Hōgyoku's help, do you think Aizen could not avoid these people?" Kuchiki Senya asked indifferently.

Yamamoto's Heavy Strike's expression changed. He then said, "But even so, there should be records. Why is there nothing now?"

"How is there nothing? Order your subordinates to investigate. There were definitely several illegal intruders who did not report it; they simply treated it as a collapse of the Rukongai." Kuchiki Senya said indifferently.

Yamamoto's Heavy Strike immediately ordered Captain-Commander Kyoraku standing nearby to conduct an investigation.

"Continue. If Aizen has been to Hueco Mundo, that proves he is colluding with someone there. Who? Barragan Luisenbarn?" Yamamoto's Heavy Strike continued asking.

"I have not gone to Hueco Mundo. Originally, I returned intending to tell you that I must go there to investigate. If my guess is correct, there are already Vasto Lorde in a growth form there, and they are all transformed from humans." Kuchiki Senya continued speaking.

Upon hearing this, Yamamoto's Heavy Strike's expression turned even more grim.

"How could this be?" he could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought.

At this time, Captain-Commander Kyoraku also returned from outside and told Yamamoto's Heavy Strike his investigation findings.

"Over ten times?" After hearing this number, Yamamoto's Heavy Strike was furious.

He could not understand why there were so many illegal intrusions without any reports from the subordinates!

"Investigate this thoroughly immediately!" Yamamoto's Heavy Strike said at this moment.

But Kuchiki Senya said indifferently, "Don't bother. Even if someone did not report it, you cannot investigate clearly. Those people have long since changed over many batches; you will find nothing."

"The reason such a situation occurred is because the design itself has flaws. If an alarm connected to the entire Soul Society triggered upon illegal intrusion, do you think such a situation would still occur?" Kuchiki Senya said indifferently.

Yamamoto's Heavy Strike's expression darkened; it seemed that was indeed the case.

"Then explain to me now what you plan to do. Having done something so earth-shattering, you should know you cannot continue staying in Soul Society."

Yamamoto's Heavy Strike looked at Kuchiki Senya. He knew very well that his own decision would set the standard for the entire Soul Society's future.

"You must have prepared for this already, right?" he glanced at Kuchiki Senya again and asked.

Actually, he was also heartbroken. He was heartbroken that he would lose a genius of unprecedented caliber.

He knew Kuchiki Senya's strength very well, but he did not know how to help Kuchiki Senya. He absolutely did not want to exile such a person.

Especially since even if exiled, he did not know what place could accommodate him.

"Me? I haven't thought about it carefully. I was thinking that after I eliminated Aizen, letting you know my good intentions, and retrieving the Hōgyoku, I could return to being my Shinigami and comfortably go to the pleasure districts..."

When saying this, Kuchiki Senya felt a pang of heartache.

If he had known he could not get the Hōgyoku, he should have destroyed the Hōgyoku directly back then.

Yamamoto's Heavy Strike stared at him and finally said, "You have a way to return: retrieve the Hōgyoku again!"

088. Before Departure, Big Brother's Admonition

Hearing this, Kuchiki Senya was also stunned. Was he being told to go directly to Hueco Mundo?

"What? With your temper, you wouldn't dare, would you?" Yamamoto's Heavy Strike asked.

He did not believe Kuchiki Senya would not dare; such a stance definitely hid some unspeakable reason.

Kuchiki Senya rubbed his chin and continued, "What I mean is, there is nothing fun over there. It is all monsters, boring. Where are the Misses for me to admire?"

Yamamoto's Heavy Strike had black lines on his forehead. He stared at Kuchiki Senya and said, "If you are unwilling, then you can only go to the Human World, but the price is losing your Shinigami powers."

Kuchiki Senya frowned. Was he joking? He came here specifically to experience Shinigami life; how could he possibly go to the Human World?

"If you are unwilling, then honestly bring the Hōgyoku back." Yamamoto's Heavy Strike said.

Kuchiki Senya sighed. He suddenly remembered that Hueco Mundo also had beauties like Nelliel.

Of course, that Halibel was not bad either; at least her figure was quite~scorching.

However, the strength of these Espada was different from ordinary Hollows. They were all complete-form Vasto Lorde and still had room for constant ascent.

"Sigh, so conflicted." Kuchiki Senya had a headache.

If he really agreed to Old Man Yamamoto, he would truly have to do things he disliked.

But if he did not agree, letting the Hōgyoku develop, he truly did not know what would eventually happen.

"Forget it, I will still go take a look. At least it will let me know how the situation has become now; otherwise, I truly have no way to handle them." Kuchiki Senya sighed.

If the protagonist from the original anime were here, it would be good. But judging by the current timeline, the protagonist does not know where he is yet.

After all, Zabimaru Kaien is still a Captain. He has not gone to the Human World, which means the protagonist could not have appeared.

"Actually, we can also utilize the Quincy's abilities." Kuchiki Senya suddenly said.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni furrowed his brow and said, "The power of the Quincy is not something you can control, and besides, we and the Quincy are mortal enemies!"

Kuchiki Senya curled his lip — the old man Yamamoto was truly stubborn as a rock.

But thinking carefully, back in the manga when Ishida Uryu appeared in Soul Society, old man Yamamoto hadn't killed him outright either; he had even had a brief exchange with him, his words full of appreciation for him.

"Fine, think what you will." In the end, Kuchiki Senya shook his head and said.

"I'll take this mission, but I have a few arrangements I need you to note down." Kuchiki Senya thought about how, because of his own appearance, the entire timeline had already changed.

The first point he mentioned was to develop Urahara Kisuke's research capability, to make sure he established the Kaifa Bureau, and to grant him the highest authority, letting him research a new Hōgyoku.

"His Hōgyoku research will probably stop halfway; once it stops, you must make sure he preserves it well. If there's really no other way, just store it together with the Spirit King…" Kuchiki Senya said.

"Wait." Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni furrowed his brow, looking at Kuchiki Senya in confusion: "How do you know he can research out a Hōgyoku?"

"The power of the Hōgyoku — is it something he can research out?" Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni furrowed his brow and asked.

Kuchiki Senya glanced at him, then continued: "Just trust me. If you don't agree, then I won't go."

Hearing this, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni could only sigh helplessly, and finally said: "Fine, I agree to you."

Hearing him say that, Kuchiki Senya was only slightly relieved. He had long planned: if the power of the Hōgyoku could be absorbed by himself, then he would just have Urahara Kisuke produce another one.

Moreover, Urahara Kisuke's ability was far more than this; through contact over this period, he also knew Urahara Kisuke's power was still hidden.

"As for Yoruichi… just have her keep an eye on Urahara Kisuke. If Urahara Kisuke is in any danger, she should help without hesitation." Kuchiki Senya muttered to himself.

The Shinigami now still didn't know what would happen in the future, but once Urahara Kisuke finished researching the Hōgyoku, they would come to know how terrifying Urahara Kisuke was.

Although Aizen has already been dealt with by him, there was no guarantee Yhwach hadn't put out other pieces.

Perhaps in the original manga world, it was only because Aizen happened to succeed.

"Understood." Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni finally agreed as well.

Hearing his words, Kuchiki Senya was only then slightly relieved.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, please trouble this old man of yours to issue me a pardon notice. I don't want to step outside and immediately have a blade held to my neck." Kuchiki Senya said.

· ·· Seeking flowers ·· ·

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni nodded; he had already thought of the wording just now.

After Kuchiki Senya went out, Soul Society had already begun cleaning the battlefield, and no one paid much attention to his appearance.

After Kuchiki Senya returned, Kuchiki Bai Zai hurried to find him.

Kuchiki Rukia looked at Kuchiki Senya, still somewhat not daring to approach.

Kuchiki Senya sighed. In his heart, Kuchiki Rukia had always been the strongest female Shinigami — her tenacious will and the ability of her Zanpakutō both left him in awe.

"You two, come here." Kuchiki Senya called out to the two of them.

............. 0

He sat down cross-legged, and the other two sat down opposite him.

"Bai Zai, you will be a captain in the future. You must take care of your sister — never give up the chance to protect her for the sake of the family's face." Kuchiki Senya said, looking at Kuchiki Bai Zai.
