Chapter 74

The ancient face of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni twitched, his hunched figure resembling a towering volcano on the verge of eruption!

"In just a few days, the Arrancar have only captured two people."

"Starting now, the Seireitei enters a state of war readiness; all thirteen squads of the Gotei 13 will mobilize! Capture all Arrancar in the shortest time possible!"

Master Yamamoto's Heavy Strike narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a stern, chilling light within.

One captain has fallen in battle.

This is no longer a trivial skirmish, but a major event shaking the entire Seireitei.

Even the execution of Rukia.

Compared to this matter, it is not worth mentioning!

Now.

The only uncertain factor within the Seireitei is those Arrancar who remain at large; they are the prime suspects!

Below.

The captains, their faces grave, responded one by one.

"Kuchiki Senya still refuses to act?"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni looked at the intelligence in his hand and shook his head slightly.

This Kuchiki Senya...

Indifferent to all matters, disdainful of all laws, his mind focused solely on his own pleasure...

I fear only the destruction of the world, or a definite impact on his own interests, would truly make him act.

Possessing such talent, such aptitude, yet having such a personality.

For the Soul Society.

Is it ultimately a blessing or a calamity?

Below.

Gin Ichimaru still smiled with his eyes closed.

Kaname Tosen, blindfolded, wore a blank expression.

Unohana Retsu, meanwhile, frowned slightly.

As the captain of the Fourth Division, she had naturally examined Aizen's corpse.

On the surface, there was no problem.

Yet, a strange sense of dissonance lingered in her heart...

Afterwards.

Unohana Retsu shook her head lightly and said nothing.

Even if she spoke of this dissonance, it would change nothing; the Gotei 13 operates only on concrete evidence.

With a single order from the Gotei 13, everyone mobilized!

The entire Seireitei.

Has fallen into a net of heaven and earth!

Except for Aizen and Kuchiki Senya, all other captains have thrown themselves into the operation!

The intensity of the search is far greater than in the original story!

The wind howls and the cranes cry; if the Arrancar dare to appear, they will surely be struck by Lei Ting!

060. Human Artillery, the Killer Kuchiki Senya!

"The Arrancar are down to three."

"Do not leave any place unchecked!"

The Seireitei.

Over a thousand Shinigami clad in black shihakusho, with zanpakuto at their waists, spread out for a carpet search.

Even.

Occasionally, one could see lieutenants and captains, the powerful of the captain rank, stationed in various areas of the Seireitei!

This is the most decisive, most thorough operation.

The Gotei 13 has launched in decades!

"I heard that Kuchiki Senya and Captain Unohana Retsu captured two Arrancar at the very beginning, earning great merit!"

"Sigh, who would have thought that Captain Unohana Retsu, always so gentle, has such a face behind the scenes..."

"And Captain Senya lives up to the name of the number one genius; he didn't even draw his sword before suppressing the two Arrancar!"

Inside a common alley.

Two elite Shinigami whispered to each other, their words filled with longing and awe.

In the dim alley.

A youth with orange hair, clad in a pitch-black shihakusho and carrying a massive zanpakuto, had a resolute face.

"Uryu, Inoue, I will definitely save you!"

"Kuchiki Senya, Unohana Retsu..."

At this moment.

Unlike the outside world, with its noise, clamor, and the incredibly busy Gotei 13.

In a wine pool and meat forest.

Inside a towering pavilion, pools of fountains made of fine wine spread throughout, and on every plant hung tender delicacies, releasing waves of fragrant aroma.

Kuchiki Senya leaned contentedly against Hinagiku's chest, enjoying the beauty personally feeding him delicacies.

【Ding.】

【While others are tearing their hair out, the host is lying in a wine pool and meat forest, enjoying fine wine, delicacies, and a beauty — achievement unlocked: "Watching the Fire from Across the Shore."】

【Your Flash Step has once again broken through its limits. You have gained the ability "Three Thousand Shadow Phantom Bodies"!】

Oh?

Kuchiki Senya smiled faintly.

Instantly.

Within his body, a warm current surged, filled with a mysterious, powerful aura.

As this aura flowed through, his body grew increasingly light; whether flexibility or reaction ability, both were greatly enhanced!

Just like Thousand-Arm God-Slayer.

Three Thousand Shadow Phantom Bodies is also an ability far beyond the understanding of the Bleach World!

The moment it was obtained.

It could strengthen his body, granting it all manner of incredible might!

"K-Kuchiki-sama…"

Hinagiku behind him suddenly felt a terrifying power, like that of a giant dragon or fierce beast, emanating from Kuchiki Senya's body.

Fine beads of cold sweat covered her forehead, and her body trembled slightly.

Her chest rose and fell in waves, as if her heart would leap out at any moment!

This was still the result of Kuchiki Senya deliberately suppressing it. If the power were fully unleashed, aside from Unohana Retsu, the Third of the Espada, Nelliel — those kinds of powerhouses,

any girl whose strength had not reached Captain-level would be grievously wounded in an instant, or even perish!

Kuchiki Senya waved his hand, and Hinagiku respectfully withdrew.

The next moment.

The air was utterly silent; even the air within the room ceased to flow.

However.

In the blink of an eye.

Within the enormous private room, ten identical figures suddenly appeared!

However, nine of those figures were utterly lifeless, with not a shred of consciousness in their eyes!

Violent spiritual pressure surged wildly, and a glaring crimson light gathered in their hands — that was the aura of Kidō, Hadō #33, Shakkahō!

A moment later.
