Bleach: No cheat codes, he joined Aizen's side.

Chapter 141, Page 139: Bring me a copy.

Are the Quincy fast?

Higashino Shuichi didn't know, but he knew that he himself acted very quickly.

Knowing that the Quincy in this fictional future would no longer obediently carry out the plan to destroy Soul Society as in the original story, Shuichi Higashino, after the Seireitei had just entered a state of alert, shamelessly went to the human world and, through some maneuvering, became Ichigo Kurosaki's classmate and neighbor.

The reason is simple: it's still because of the three people who died inexplicably before: Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, Kenpachi Zaraki, and Kisuke Urahara.

Two of these three individuals happen to be the two marked as Special-Class combatants by Yhwach in the original storyline, and they were also two of the main forces resisting the Wandenreich in the original storyline.

So why not kill the remaining three elite combatants, Hyosube Ichibei, Aizen Sousuke, and Kurosaki Ichigo together?
Anyway, it's all a fictional future.

Higashino Shuichi believes the answer is not that Akimi doesn't want to, but that he can't.

Because Fullbring is derived from the power of the Soul King's fragments, it cannot escape the Soul King's will no matter what.

Therefore, whether in the real future or a fictional future, that established fact cannot be changed.

Therefore, Akimi absolutely did not want to die the key figures who would ultimately kill Yhwach.

If we follow this line of thought, Higashino Shuichi understands that in this fictional future, the struggle between him and Akimi is not actually a battle between the two of them, but rather a matter of time.

Akimi must kill Higashino Shuichi before she is killed by the Soul Society, while Higashino Shuichi only needs to find a way to survive.

In this situation, the optimal solution would undoubtedly be to drag Ichigo Kurosaki into the fray early, forcing the members of the Zero Division to leave the scene prematurely as well.

And then, just as Higashino Shuichi had predicted, while he was at home in the human world watching a report from Soul Society about a new drug developed by Mayuri Kurotsuchi for countering the Quincy gathering place in the Shadowlands, a group of members of the Wandenreich's Sternritter, led by a man, surrounded Higashino Shuichi's house.

"Hideichi Higashino, do you see this? This is your future!"

Higashino Shuichi sensed the power outside the house, stepped out of the room, and calmly looked up at the person speaking above him, Yhwach, who had a pair of pure gray, dull eyes.

Without a doubt, in this fictional future, Yhwach is played by Akimi.

It was at this moment that Higashino Shuichi remembered where he had seen those eyes before.

It seems that the Spirit King's eyes looked like this?
"I don't know if this is my future, but I'm pretty sure it's not your future."

With his hands in his pockets, Higashino Shuichi faced the almost entirely Sternritter Knights without fear.

"Hahaha, so what if I am? You can't even imagine what kind of power I have now. It's a height that an ordinary death god like you can never reach in your entire life!"
You know what? Right now, crushing you is easier for me than stepping on an ant!

Akimi looked at Higashino Shuichi and said confidently.

"Yes, I believe you!"

Higashino nodded slightly, a smile even appearing on his lips.

Indeed, in this future constructed by Akimi, Akimi, who occupies the identity of Yhwach, has an unparalleled advantage from the outset.

Any normal Shinigami in this world would probably have been killed by Akimi's combination of punches.

Unfortunately, Higashino Shuichi is a time traveler, and he knows exactly what will happen in the future and what the solutions are.

"However, Yhwach, oh no, Akihito."

I've been rambling on like this because I'm waiting for Ichigo Kurosaki, but what are you waiting for?

Seeing Kurosaki Ichigo throw down his schoolbag, grab his Zanpakuto which looked like a giant cleaver, and charge towards Akimi, Higashino Shuichi knew he was in the game.

"Kurosaki Ichigo?"
Hahaha, ridiculous, Shuichi Higashino, you don't actually think that just because he defeated Sosuke Aizen, he still has the ability to defeat me, do you?
A miracle may happen once, but it will never happen a second time!

Even Higashino Shuichi noticed Kurosaki Ichigo, so how could Akimi, who had switched to the Yhwach template, not know?

While Akimi certainly knew that in the predetermined future, this boy named Kurosaki Ichigo would personally send Yhwach on his way, what did that have to do with him?

If he kills Higashino Shuichi here, this fictional future will collapse, and it won't even take that long.

Therefore, Higashino Shuichi's hopes were destined to be dashed.

Moreover, how could Higashino Shuichi possibly know that Kurosaki Ichigo had the ability to kill Yhwach?

Therefore, ignoring Ichigo Kurosaki's attack, Akimi merely gave Haschward a look before extending a finger towards Shuichi Higashino.
Holy Arrow Annihilation!

The arrow pierced right through Higashino Shuichi's heart.

But it was useless.

Higashino Shuichi's heart was instantly regenerated; this was the infinite regeneration of the Spirit King's fingernail fragments.

Then, Higashino Shuichi drew his Zanpakuto and calmly uttered those words.

"Tracing the origins of military strategy, Bankai, self-inflicted injury!"

Given the current gap between Higashino Shuichi and Yhwach, Higashino Shuichi understands that any resistance is futile, so he might as well just be a punching bag.

Therefore, after achieving Bankai, he directly planted his Zanpakuto into the ground in front of him, and then quietly watched as Kurosaki Ichigo in the distance was being beaten just like him.

Seeing Higashino Shuichi's extremely abnormal attitude, as if he could be beaten and scolded at will, Akimi was also stunned.

Is this because they know they can't win, so they've given up?

"This isn't like you, Higashino Shuichi. Back in Osaka Prefecture, weren't you always so decisive and efficient?"

They even had the audacity to launch a surprise attack on us alone with a useless guy, and now they're just giving up like this?

Qiu asked the question, and at the same time used his still not very proficient omniscience and omnipotence to see the near future.

Then, his expression changed.

Seeing that Akishino's expression had changed, Higashino Shuichi smiled even more happily, because this meant that the real reinforcements he had been waiting for had arrived.

A rift appeared in the air, a door opened, and five Grim Reapers in special uniforms stepped out.

The Zero Division Five!

"Multiple Holy Arrows of Destruction!"

Qiu Shi finally stopped wasting words and wanted to completely eliminate Higashino Shuichi here.

However, this time, Higashino Shuichi made a move.

Despite the immense pressure of the multiple Sacred Arrows, he used Shunpo to appear before Kurosaki Ichigo, who was nearly crippled by Haschwalth. "Binding Spell #81, Sky Breaker!"

A transparent spiritual barrier formed in front of him and Ichigo Kurosaki.

But was this void-breaking technique, which abandoned chanting, effective against the attack of Akihito, who replaced Yhwach? The answer is naturally no.

With just one Holy Annihilation Arrow, Higashino Shuichi's Sky Breaker was easily shattered.

But what Higashino Shuichi was relying on was never himself.

He only needed to show his attitude; as for Qiu Shi's attacks and the Sternritter standing next to him, someone else would take care of that.

"Eighty One of the Binding Dao, Duan Kong!"

The same technique, "severing the void," can produce drastically different effects depending on who uses it.

All the sacred arrows shot by Qiu Shi were thus blocked outside the gap in the sky.

Higashino Shuichi gazed at the graceful woman who had landed before him and Kurosaki Ichigo; she was none other than the master of the void, Oori no Mori, Shutara Senjumaru.

"They arrived just in time!"

"Don't misunderstand, I didn't come here to save you."

Shutara Senjumaru responded indifferently.

He didn't even want to turn around and look at Higashino Shuichi.

Clearly, Squad Zero wasn't entirely unaware of Higashino Shuichi, this suddenly appearing Grim Reaper.

“I know, but look at Yhwach now. It’s clear that I’m a key figure in achieving your goals. Take me back with you so I can explain things to you in detail, how about it?”

Higashino Shuichi was unimpressed by Shutara Senjumaru's attitude.

The only important person in the Zero Division is the monk Hyosube Ichibei, who is in charge. As long as his own goals do not conflict with Hyosube Ichibei's, the attitudes of the other members of the Zero Division towards him are not important at all.

Anyway, this is just a fictional future world, and it won't affect the Zero Division in reality.

Shutara Senjumaru was somewhat displeased with Higashino Shuichi's request, but before they came, Hyosube Ichibei had specifically instructed them to bring Higashino Shuichi, this strange intruder, back with them, so she could only agree.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Akimi, leading a Sternritter, was unable to gain any advantage against the other four members of the Zero Division.

And in the end, they could only watch helplessly as Shutara Senjumaru returned to Soul Society with Higashino Shuichi and the seriously injured and unconscious Kurosaki Ichigo.

This sudden change greatly increased Qiu Shi's unease.

Having also seen the future script, he knew what would happen after Kurosaki Ichigo was taken back to the Soul King Palace.

"We can't give Higashino Shuichi a chance to turn the tide!"

Almost at the same moment that the Zero Division returned to Soul Society, Akimi made a decision in her heart.

As a bootleg Yhwach, he has a limited number of times he can use his omniscience and omnipotence. Therefore, Akimi can only rely on his previous knowledge to first eliminate all the threats that might kill him in the original future.

This is the only way to ensure that you will be invincible in the battles to come.

In the original future, there were four fatal reasons that Akimi could see.

First, Ichigo Kurosaki, whom he cannot reach at present;
Secondly, Aizen Sousuke is currently imprisoned in the Avici Hell of Soul Society. He is a key figure that Aizen must deal with before heading to the Soul King Palace.
Thirdly, Ishida Uryu, it was his arrow that temporarily rendered Yhwach powerless, and he was also someone who had to be eliminated;

Fourthly, there is his own "half-body," Haschward. Although Akemi cannot be sure whether Haschward truly betrayed Yhwach in the end, the fact is that it was because of him that Yhwach ultimately failed. Akemi does not want to repeat the same mistake, so Haschward must also die!
Before eliminating the remaining three deadly threats, Qiu Shi had no intention of recklessly storming into the Spirit King's Palace again.

Otherwise, who knows what underhanded tricks this somewhat strange Grim Reaper, Higashino Shuichi, might have prepared for him.

The same reckless mistake can be tolerated once, but Qiu Shi would never allow himself to make it a second time.

Higashino Shuichi had no idea that, because of his own actions, he would bring further suffering to the Soul Society in this fictional future.

He followed the members of the Zero Division to the Soul King Palace, where he was questioned by the Zero Division members in Ichibei Hyosube's palace.

"The first question is, who exactly are you?"

Hyosube Ichibei was the first to launch an attack.

"Hideichi Higashino, a grim reaper from the future."

"I have a good idea," Higashino Shuichi replied confidently.

"The Grim Reaper from the future?"

Another member of Squad Zero, Kiryu Hikifune, said.

"Yes, as you can see, Yhwach is no longer the original Yhwach. His soul has been possessed by Akimi, our future enemy in the Grim Reaper world. I have returned here to help you deal with him."

Higashino said without changing his expression.

"So this is his reason for targeting you so much?"

Nimaiya Oetsu sat on a shallow wooden stick stuck horizontally on a pillar and said.

“Yes,” Higashino Shuichi looked up and nodded, saying with certainty, “So I’m sure that it won’t be long before this new Yhwach storms into the Spirit King’s Palace, and compared to his original goal of devouring the Spirit King, he will definitely prioritize killing me.”

"But as two death gods who have traveled back in time, the difference between you and him is rather significant, isn't it?"

Another member of the Zero Division, Kirinji Tenjiro, known as the "Hot Spring Demon," crossed his arms and looked Higashino Shuichi up and down before speaking.

He just restored Higashino Shuichi's strength to full after he was weakened by the self-inflicted injury.

To this, Higashino Shuichi could only smile awkwardly: "That's because my duty is to guide the adults of the Zero Division to kill Yhwach, who also traveled back in time. I'm not responsible for dealing with him personally, so I traveled back in my original form. Otherwise, I would have been like the current Yhwach, replacing one of the adults."

But I think the lords of Squad Zero definitely don't want that to happen, right?

"Then tell me, what's the best way to deal with Yhwach now?"

Hyobu Ichibei neither expressed belief nor distrust, but simply asked Higashino Shuichi a practical question.

Upon hearing this, Higashino Shuichi smiled brightly, because this meant it was a perfect match for his expertise.
"It's very simple: lure the enemy deep into our territory, then wait for them to tire themselves out!"

"You mean, you're the bait to lure Yhwach into a trap we've set up beforehand?"

Hmph. The idea is good, but have you forgotten the most important thing? Is your strength enough to be the bait?
If we just wait there for Yhwach to come, he probably won't fall for it, right?
But if you have to fight him while simultaneously leading him to where we want him to go, you can't last that long.

Finally, Shutara Senjumaru raised a question to Higashino Shuichi.

In response, Shuichi Higashino bowed.

"Yes, so I might have to trouble you all. Could you please include me in the special training that was arranged for Kurosaki Ichigo?"
