Chapter 61

"Shwa—"

Kuchiki Senya lightly swung his blade…

Wave after wave of overwhelmingly powerful, slender and razor-sharp blade qi radiated outward from his body as its center, spreading madly in every direction.

As far as the eye could see.

Countless pure-white blade qi surged wildly outward, scattering to the four corners!

"You've got something, but not much."

Kuchiki Senya surveyed, lazy and languid, the two great sealing forbidden techniques the Kidō Corps took such pride in before him.

Ribbons, light stakes, stone pillars, and the light membrane of the Sishousai Sect — none of them posed the slightest obstruction to the dense, rain-like, airtight blade qi!

The sharpness of the strongest edge-type Zanpakutō had already surpassed everyone's imagination!

Everything, one and all, was pierced clean through!

Although.

The light membrane of the Sishousai Sect had been modified to be extremely resilient, able to repair itself in an instant even after being pierced!

This was the sealing formation they had deliberately set against Kuchiki Senya!

But.

Beyond the light membrane stood a full three hundred members of the Kidō Corps!

Every one of them was flesh and blood! The blade qi passed through the light membrane and, without the slightest resistance, sliced their bodies to pieces along the way!

In an instant.

The field was filled with wails and howls of agony! Severed limbs and flowing blood were everywhere!

The cut surfaces were smooth and fine, as if carved by the hand of heaven.

And before Kuchiki Senya. 8

The original Sishousai Sect, Swastika Seal, having lost its infusion of spiritual power, had already vanished without a trace. 1

Everything. 1

Happened in a single instant. 7

All three hundred of the Kidō Corps — annihilated! ⑶

This! 7

Up above, the members of the Forty-Six Chambers had already widened their eyes; fine beads of cold sweat streamed down their foreheads, and their bodies trembled slightly! 6

Originally. 6

This had been a perfect plan — three hundred members of the Kidō Corps was an extremely formidable force! Comparable to an entire division of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads! ⑹

And they had been slaughtered so easily!

Just how sharp was Ten no Kiwami?

One must understand.

They had set up this sealing formation according to a standard ten times sharper than Niihori Wang Yue's Kasa no Kage — the original Soul Society's sharpest Zanpakutō!

"Heh… a hypnotic agent at the level of a Starrk, huh…"

"And you lot think you're worthy of controlling me?"

A languid voice rang out beside their ears, and everyone started in fright, turning to look behind them!

A bright, pure-white blade-light filled their eyes…

……

Several days later.

Kuchiki Senya lay languidly on a sofa made of soft fur.

Now.

After learning Bankai, he no longer needed to chant when using Shikai.

Even relying solely on the power of Shikai was enough to annihilate the schemes of the Central Forty-Six Chambers.

Even if he were tainted by the hypnotic substance extracted from a Starrk-level Menos Grande, the Bankai ability of Ten no Kiwami could easily deal with it.

The Forty-Six Chambers.

Were doomed to fail before they even acted.

Originally.

The fact that the Central Forty-Six Chambers were rotten to the core was no secret.

He had no intention of playing the righteous avenger either.

However.

To set their sights on him and affect his enjoyment of life…

Kuchiki Senya shook his head.

Then he drank a glass of grape wine.

Before him.

Was Hisana, her face tender, dancing a breathtakingly beautiful dance that seemed not to belong to this world.

Fine wine, a beautiful woman, fine food…

That is what life's true enjoyment is.

……

At the same time.

The disappearance of the entire Central Forty-Six Chambers and the Kidō Corps had already caused an enormous uproar throughout all of Soul Society!

This matter.

This is even more serious than the Tsunayashiro Clan—one of the Four Great Noble Houses—being completely wiped out!

This is a challenge to the authority of Soul Society! A challenge to the absolute order established over thousands of years!

054. Aizen is so kind, it really is their blessing

Soul Society.

A scene of panic and tension everywhere!

Members of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads roamed everywhere, faces solemn, incomparably tense.

They dug three feet into the ground throughout Soul Society!

Searching for a full seven days!

Only then did they discover signs of a collapse on an empty lot in the Rukongai!

After digging it open, inside were the remains of the missing Kidō Corps, as well as the various sages of the Central Forty-Six Chambers!

Looking at this utterly tragic, blood-soaked scene.

The searchers' eyes went wide, their backs soaked in cold sweat, their teeth chattering.

"Forty sages, six judges, three hundred members of the Kidō Corps—all annihilated!"

"Quick! Quickly go report to Wang Gong, the Three Great Noble Houses, and the Thirteen Court Guard Squads!"

Immediately.

The entire Soul Society entered emergency mode!

……

The Thirteen Court Guard Squads.

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni furrowed his brow tightly and sighed softly.

Fifty years ago.

The Tsunayashiro Clan was destroyed.

Fifty years later, the Central Forty-Six Chambers were completely wiped out!

Could the one who struck be the same person?

The Third Division barracks.

Ichimaru Gin narrowed his eyes in a smile, though a chill had already crept into his heart.

Aizen had just used Kyōka Suigetsu to indirectly investigate that the Central Forty-Six Chambers were going to make a move against Kuchiki Senya.

And then they all died!

Is this a coincidence?

Or……

It seems.
