Chapter 55

Regarding one’s own past, future, and all intelligence, no one can investigate! Nor can they change it!

This was just the initial effect!

If it continued to develop to a perfect state, even one’s own form could be perfectly invisible!

Aura hidden, and the enemy couldn't even find one’s physical body!

Equivalent to.

The enemy facing a Captain-Commander level powerhouse who was undetectable, untraceable, and whose timing of attack no one could judge!

Anyone.

In front of him, was a fish on the chopping block.

To be handled at his will!

Not bad.

Kuchiki Senya nodded with satisfaction.

Even if it was just the initial stage.

It could already defend against some top-tier investigations in the original work, or abilities that changed fate and memory!

For example.

Tsukishima Shukuro, the former leader of the Fullbringer organization.

Held the Book of the End in his hand.

Could use spiritual power to strengthen bookmarks.

Turning them into a katana with a small chain that possessed quite high attack power and could slash through everything.

And.

Without harming the other party.

Could insert one’s own existence into the other party’s past, changing their memory, and could know things the slashed person knew before the insertion point.

If this ability were used again to slash an object that had "already been inserted into the past" or if Tsukishima died, the slashed object would return to its normal state.

And.

Yhwach!

The leader of the Wandenreich, the son of the Soul King, the common ancestor of all Quincy!

Possessing the terrifying skill of Omniscience and Omnipotence, equivalent to being invincible in the original work! He was also the strongest villain, the final big boss!

In the original work.

It took the combined combat power of Ichigo Kurosaki, Aizen, the entire Soul Society, and even Hueco Mundo to finally destroy him!

His personal strength.

Definitely far exceeded the Captain-Commander level!

Omniscience and Omnipotence pushed unreasonableness to the extreme; that was the power to know all futures!

The power possessed by the two.

Was almost rule-based and incomparably overbearing.

However.

After possessing Holographic Palm Control.

He could completely prevent their abilities! Even if slashed by Tsukishima Shukuro’s Book of the End, he wouldn't be affected in the slightest!

And.

Yhwach’s Omniscience and Omnipotence couldn't investigate his future either!

Soul Society.

In the light and shadow of the buildings.

Since a thousand years ago.

There had existed an empire completely entrusted to the shadows.

Also known as the Wandenreich! An empire existing in illusion!

A thousand years ago.

After the Quincy were defeated by the Soul Reapers, they faced the miserable situation of being wiped out.

Therefore.

The remaining Quincy fled into the Seireitei, building a spirit particle space in the shadows of the Seireitei.

Hiding there for a thousand years!

At this moment.

In the empire.

It was vast and boundless!

The ground was gray-white, and scattered buildings were dotted across the entire land!

Occasionally, one could see pedestrians in twos and threes, possessing the power of the Quincy in their bodies.

They.

Were the whole that constituted the entire empire!

The residents of the entire empire.

All revered the only emperor! Yhwach!

Rumor had it.

That after their emperor awoke, he would bring the entire Wandenreich to an unreachable peak!

Giving those evil Soul Reapers the heaviest blow!

At this moment.

Inside the massive palace.

A man with a serious and cruel face, scarlet pupils, and wearing a black trench coat suddenly froze for a moment.

Omniscience and Omnipotence.

Had appeared a trace of an unbearable stain!

It was as if something unpredictable had happened to this world!

Yhwach tapped the table with his finger, "For the sake of peace, the plan must be advanced."

At this moment.

Gotei 13.

Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto’s face was covered in wrinkles.

Narrowing his eyes, he stared at the intelligence officer below.

Hearing him say that Kuchiki Senya had refused, he shook his head lightly.

It seemed.

He had thought too much.

Getting Kuchiki Senya to hang his name in the 2nd Division was already difficult enough.

Now.

Letting him be the Captain-Commander? How was that possible?

Below.

Many captains, although surprised in their hearts, thought about it and found it not unacceptable.

After all.

Regarding Kuchiki Senya’s personality.

Everyone present had learned a lot.

Refusing the position of Captain-Commander, for him, was probably really just for fear of trouble.

Furthermore.

With Kuchiki Senya’s true strength, he didn't need to rely on the position of Captain-Commander to prove himself anymore.

"Regarding the vacancy of captains, the lieutenants will take over first."

"If there are suitable candidates for captain, you can also recommend them to participate in the captain’s examination."

Above.

Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto furrowed his brows, scanning the scattered captains.

Now.

The Gotei 13 was lacking in power and urgently needed new blood.

The captains below answered one after another.

"However."

"Besides the position of Captain-Commander, Kuchiki Senya even refused the invitation to join the Zero Division."

"This might cause a bad influence."

Below.

Kyoraku Shunsui, who had always been playful and lazy, wore a rare, solemn expression.

Beside him.

Kuchiki Byakuya also furrowed his brows.

The Zero Division inviting Kuchiki Senya to join meant that it was the Soul King’s order.

Soul Society.

The Soul King’s order was absolute.

Even great noble families could not resist; it was the highest directive.

However.

Kuchiki Senya had actually refused it so lightly...

Since ancient times.

No one had been able to refuse the temptation of joining the Zero Division!

It seemed.

The storm in the Soul Society was not yet over...

"We have no right to interfere in the affairs of the Soul King Palace."

Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto just said lightly with narrowed eyes, looking at the sky outside the window, his expression shifting between cloudy and clear.

At this moment.

Above the Seireitei.

The Soul King Palace, which had existed for millions of years and was hidden under layers of restrictions, was bustling for the first time in a long while.

On the open square.

"Refused?"

"Is he serious?"

Kirio Hikifune, with purple hair and looking like a fat aunt, widened her eyes.

Senjumaru Shutara, who had an elegant demeanor and wore quite luxurious clothes, was also full of surprise.

Actually.

There really was someone who could refuse the temptation of joining the Zero Division!

You know.

Joining the Zero Division meant gaining eternal life and the powerful strength one dreamed of!

Even so.

Kuchiki Senya refused, without any hesitation!

In the middle.

Ichibe Hyosube also darkened his face, stroking his beard, and said in a low tone:

"Kuchiki Senya’s refusal."

"Means that he didn't kill the traitor Aizen before, and it was intentional!"

Not killing Aizen.

Perhaps there were other hidden reasons, such as insufficient Bankai time, insufficient spiritual power...

As for not joining the Zero Division! It was simply putting his lack of respect for the Soul King right on his face!

In the room.

The atmosphere was incomparably oppressive.

All of them.

Knew the origin of the Soul Society, the origin of the three worlds, and the true truth about the Soul King.

However.

This matter was absolutely closed and forbidden information for the lower-level residents because it was all too dark.

And the Zero Division.

On the surface, they were the Soul King’s guards; in reality, they were more like monitors of the Soul King, who had his hands and feet cut off and was half-dead!

Only if the Soul King was willing to be a puppet and a wedge could the three worlds be stable!

They could possess infinite lifespans.

Incomparably lofty status, and power ten thousand times stronger than before!

Before.

Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto discovered the truth of the world.

However.

He chose to submit.

A deep sense of powerlessness filled his heart.

Even later, when he leaned toward justice, he only worked conscientiously in the Gotei 13 he managed.

Sweeping the snow in front of his own door, not caring about the frost on the roof.

Even as the strongest Soul Reaper in a thousand years, after learning the truth of the world, he was quite powerless and had no determination to change it.

However.

Now.

Kuchiki Senya had made a completely different choice...

"Dududu~"

Ichibe Hyosube’s expression was calm, tapping the ground gently, thinking for a long time.

"The Zero Division cannot be easily dispatched."

"Aizen’s threat cannot be ignored either."

Oetsu Nimaiya, Kirio Hikifune, Senjumaru Shutara, and Tenjiro Kirinji looked at Ichibe Hyosube at the same time, their pupils contracting slightly.

It seemed.

He had already decided.

To watch the tigers fight from the mountain! Let Aizen and Kuchiki Senya kill each other, and in the end, whoever was the final winner would be the target for the Zero Division to annihilate!

"Such an existence that affects the stability of the three worlds must not exist in the world!"

Ichibe Hyosube’s words were decisive! Filled with unquestionable determination!

At the same time.

Hueco Mundo.

Inside a massive gray-white palace covering a wide area.

On the high throne.

A man with an expressionless face, cold and arrogant eyes, and a strand of brown hair hanging over his forehead looked at the figures below.

And the massive blade scar extending to the edge of his vision.

Even after many days.

That blade scar showed no signs of fading.

Even.

Even if Menos Grande entered, they would be instantly shredded into fragments by the infinite sharpness filled within!

That was Kuchiki Senya’s warning to Aizen and the entire Hueco Mundo from thousands of miles away.
