Chapter 63

And his own Heaven-Severing Myriad Forms had already completed its leap!

Shikai, permanently active.

And it didn't require him to expend any spiritual power to maintain it!

Moreover.

Now.

Kuchiki Senya's spiritual power had already risen to level 75!

If he used Bankai, it could be pushed up to level 90!

Yamamoto's Heavy Strike, capable of evaporating the waters of the entire Soul Society, had a spiritual pressure of only just over level 90!

That was already the limit of a Shinigami, the absolute ceiling of combat power in the entire world!

"Not bad."

Kuchiki Senya lay comfortably in the bosom of a young lady.

Yet in just a hundred years.

His combat power had already reached the absolute top tier, the level of a true powerhouse among the Three Worlds!

He had already transcended the limits of a Captain-level Shinigami.

He had reached the level of a true Head Captain!

"Captain Senya, recently some intruders from the World of the Living have broken into Soul Society, and the passage between Soul Society and the World of the Living has been sealed."

Below.

A black-clad intelligence officer said respectfully.

This was a subordinate of his Second Division, delivering some important messages from Soul Society while he was immersed in the pleasures of the World of the Living.

After all.

The Kuchiki Clan.

Although Old Master Kuchiki Ginrei had already retired and passed the position of clan head to him.

However.

The clan's affairs had still been handed over to Kuchiki Bai Zai to manage.

The Second Division's management was left to Suì-Fēng.

When they had matters they couldn't handle.

They would also seek his opinion.

"I see."

Kuchiki Senya nodded.

Soul Society — the passage to the World of the Living had been sealed.

That meant the current plot had already begun.

Rukia had been discovered by Aizen, and the Hōgyoku existed within her body.

So.

He forged orders from the Central Forty-Six Chambers, which had been reorganized over the past few decades, to have Rukia captured and brought back to Soul Society for execution.

Thereby seizing the Hōgyoku.

Breaking through the Shinigami's limit!

And the main cast — Kurosaki Ichigo, Sado Yasutora, Shi Tianyu, Inoue Orihime, and others — underwent training under Urahara Kisuke and Yoruichi, raising their strength.

They entered Soul Society to carry out the operation to rescue Rukia…

Kuchiki Senya watched the motley crowd of men and women in the entertainment city — some eating and drinking, some singing and clubbing.

A few familiar figures, however, hadn't been seen for quite a long time.

In recent months.

The main cast — Kurosaki Ichigo, Shi Tianyu, and others — had often come to Senya Entertainment City for gatherings and singing.

After all, this was the largest entertainment city in Karakura Town, the go-to leisure spot for all the city's citizens.

And these past few days.

Their not coming here meant they had already entered Soul Society, kicking off the biggest climax of the early to mid-stage of the situation!

"Aizen's about to start putting on an act." Kuchiki Senya's lips curved slightly.

However.

All of this.

What did it have to do with him?

Aizen's appearance, for a Soul Society content with the status quo, was not necessarily a bad thing.

It could make everyone unite — a catfish effect — greatly boosting Soul Society's overall strength.

And besides.

Aizen wasn't like Yhwach, harboring a mad desire to destroy the world.

He simply wanted to keep growing stronger, surpass the limit, kill the Soul King, and find someone who could stand at the same height as him and see the same view.

"Nothing to do today — keep the music playing, keep the dance going." Kuchiki Senya took a sip of wine, then pulled out a handheld game console and played with complete focus.

During breaks in the game, he could even steal a glance at the ladies' singing and dancing — truly a wonderful thing.

……

At this moment.

Soul Society.

"Captain Senya's Wine Pool and Flesh Forest has been completed — go inform him at once."

Black-purple bangs cut straight across her forehead, hair braided in ring-bell serpent plaits, petite in build, the shihakushō on her upper half styled with a halter neck that left her back bare.

A woman with a cute face and an efficient air sat at her office desk.

Before her—

—lay an endless vista of documents and files stacked in piles, every one of them matters she had to deal with.

As vice-captain—

—not only did she have to do her own share of the work, she had taken on the captain's duties as well!

At this moment—

—at the mere mention of Kuchiki Senya's name—

—black lines crawled across Suì-Fēng's forehead, her fist clenched tight, and she could not help grinding her teeth.

Ten years!

A full ten years!

Ever since, ten years ago, Kuchiki Senya had a sudden whim to tour the whole of Seireitei and stopped by the Second Division once—

—and, as a side note, taught her a bit of knowledge about "Flash Step"—

—he had never once come back!

Comfortably playing the hands-off shopkeeper!

Even his "Wine Pool and Flesh Forest" required her to drop by from time to time as overseer!

What Yoruichi? What betrayal?

What are those things?

Buried every day beneath a mountain of paperwork, she had no time at all to think about such matters!

Off to one side—

—her aide looked at Suì-Fēng with sympathy; having drawn Captain Senya as captain, she really had drawn the short straw.

Then—

—without the slightest delay, she sent word to the World of the Living that the "Wine Pool and Flesh Forest" had been repaired.

After all—

—that was the great matter Captain Senya had personally ordered: once the Wine Pool and Flesh Forest was finished, he would return at once, rain or shine!.

056. A mere barrier between Soul Society and the World of the Living—how could it possibly stop me?

At the same time—

—Huxindao. A colossal wall radiated a stern, bone-chilling cold; this was the highest authority in Soul Society—

—the Central Forty-Six Chambers!

After the Ryoka invasion, the Central Forty-Six Chambers had declared a state of emergency; no one was permitted entry!
