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

Chapter 142, Section 140. Holy Script, I
Higashino Shuichi once again entered his long-lost inner world. In the small house built by his own Zanpakuto, he saw the Zanpakuto itself.

"How many times have I been here?"

Higashino asked the man opposite him.

"The tenth time"

The man answered in a deep voice.

"Really? So I've forgotten all these times?"

Higashino Shuichi plopped down opposite the man, the first time he had ever done so in this small house.

Because he was really tired.

In fact, less than two days had passed since Hyosube Ichibei agreed to give him special training, and then he would follow Nimaiya Oetsu to receive training in mastering the Bankai of his Zanpakuto.

But for Shuichi Higashino, it felt as if a hundred years had passed.

Even more strangely, despite feeling that he should have experienced a lot, Higashino Shuichi's mind was completely blank at this moment.

One of the few impressions he had is that this was not the first time Higashino Shuichi had come to this inner world during this training. He vaguely felt that he had been here many times, but he could not remember what he had said or done on the previous visits.

Fortunately, he didn't remember, but his Zanpakuto did.

Why did I forget things from before?

Inside the hut, after a strange silence with his Zanpakuto for a while, Higashino Shuichi asked the man opposite him a question.

"Because this is a necessary process."

the man replied.

"A necessary process?"

Shuichi Higashino discovered that he could no longer understand the Bankai of his Zanpakuto.

When did forgetting become a necessary process?
“Yes, it’s a necessary process,” the man nodded, then took three bamboo scrolls from the bookshelf and placed them in front of Higashino Shuichi.

Higashino Shuichi first opened the leftmost bamboo scroll, on which was written in small seal script the military strategy of "a smile concealing a dagger".

Higashino Shuichi had a deep impression of the above description because it was the first Bankai ability he had ever acquired.

He looked up at the man opposite him and found that the man didn't seem to have anything to say to him.

So Higashino Shuichi opened the middle bamboo scroll again, and there was nothing on it, just a blank page.

Seeing this, Higashino Shuichi seemed to understand something.

Then he opened the last bamboo scroll, which was still empty.

It was only at this point that Higashino Shuichi realized the truth.

"Learning something doesn't mean you've truly learned it; if you can't apply it, it's just empty talk."
Forgetting is not true forgetting; it doesn't disappear, but rather becomes a physical memory.

Until finally, you integrate everything, turning it into instinct, right?

"Higashino Shuichi said, looking at the man opposite him."

After listening, the man smiled and said, "You have forgotten the tricks of stealing a sheep, throwing a brick to attract jade, substituting the beams and pillars, secretly crossing the Chencang pass, turning the guest into the host, feigning madness, luring the tiger away from the mountain, substituting a plum for a peach, stirring up the grass to scare the snake, and pulling the ladder away after climbing to the roof. If you remove the four you currently know, there are four left. When you forget them all, that will be the day you know my real name."

"So, before I successfully learn your real name, I can only master a maximum of four Bankai abilities at the same time, right?"

Higashino Shuichi successfully grasped the key point in the man's words.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so quick to choose to forget those abilities.

After all, even if it's destined to be forgotten, there's no reason not to leave some means of survival in this critical moment.

In response, Higashino Shuichi's Zanpakuto nodded, then finally stood up and gestured for Higashino Shuichi to proceed.

The battle ended the same way, and the defeat was the same again.

Shuichi Higashino still couldn't defeat his own Zanpakuto.

Just as Higashino Shuichi was preparing to accept Nimaiya Oetsu's arrangement once again and begin the next training to deactivate his Zanpakuto's Bankai ability, the Soul King Palace was shaken.

When Higashino Shuichi arrived outside the palace, he could clearly see Yhwach, who had been replaced by Akimi, charging forward.

"Looks like your training will have to end early!"

At this moment, Nimaiya Oetsu also came to Higashino Shuichi's side and looked at Yhwach and said.

For most people in this fictional future, this should be a very difficult battle.

Even though the Quincy's actions—namely, Akimi's unjustified and forced Sanctification of Haschwalth—led to the betrayal of Yhwach by many Sternritter members, Akimi himself, who replaced Yhwach, was synonymous with invincibility.

Especially after carrying out a major purge of the entire Soul Society and incidentally dealing with the father and son pair of Uryu and Ryūgen in the human world, Akimi, having read the script, did not hesitate to deify all the remaining Quincy.

After sacrificing all those burdens, Akimi's combat power has reached the pinnacle of this world.

In Akimi's plan, he should be able to crush his way through until he completely kills Higashino Shuichi.

However, unsurprisingly, things took an unexpected turn here.

Because when Shuichi Higashino left Soul Society to go to the human world to find Ichigo Kurosaki as a shield, he made a special trip to the Abyss located below the Central 46 Chambers.

And there, I met the man I hadn't seen in a long time.

Aizen Sosuke.

So much time has passed since he transmigrated to the world of Bleach that Higashino Shuichi has almost forgotten how Kyoraku Shunsui persuaded Aizen Sousuke to help Soul Society win that battle.

But for Higashino Shuichi, he only needed one sentence to persuade Aizen.

"You wouldn't want to see such a clown destroy the world, would you?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Aizen's laughter echoed throughout the entire Avici Hell.

He hadn't seen a Grim Reaper who suited his taste in a long time.

If he hadn't been locked up here, or if he had met Higashino Shuichi earlier, the two might have gotten along very well.

Of course, it's not too late now.

Whether you treat it as a way to kill time during your boring prison days or as a gift to this new friend who has brought you some surprises, it's all good.

Aizen Sousuke agreed to cooperate with Higashino Shuichi's plan.

Therefore, when Akimi led the Sternritter back to Soul Society from the human world, everyone was caught off guard and fell victim to Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu.

So when Akimi thought he had eliminated all the threats to Soul Society and used Sanctuary without hesitation to storm the Soul King Palace, in reality, only a bunch of Quincy corpses belonging to the Sternritter remained in the entire Soul Society, while most of the Shinigami survived unharmed.

This naturally includes the Ishida Uryu family in the present world.

But this is not the end.

Because he had performed the Sainthood on all the Quincy, Akimi was completely unaware that he had been poisoned by the Kyoka Suigetsu. Therefore, the person he thought he was dealing with in the Soul King Palace was actually Higashino Shuichi, who was actually Hyosube Ichibei.

The two fought until the sky darkened and the land was shattered.

Even Akishi was shocked. Higashino Shuichi's trip to the Spirit King Palace seemed to have transformed him into someone who had suddenly become a completely different person. Akishi himself hadn't wasted much time, had he? Could a Shinigami really be strengthened to this extent in less than two days?
Even at this point, Akimi still didn't realize the problem.

Having never personally experienced the power of Kyoka Suigetsu, he couldn't comprehend its strength at all, and he didn't feel much wariness towards Aizen Sousuke, the man who played a supporting role in the original storyline of killing Yhwach.

Until that moment, the same story repeated itself.

Looking at the Zanpakuto in his chest and at Ichigo Kurosaki in front of him, Akimi realized what a serious mistake he had made.

"No, this shouldn't be happening. I clearly eliminated all the threats, so why is this happening? Why are they all still alive!"

Qiu Shi felt his strength rapidly draining away and roared in frustration.

Just then, Higashino Shuichi's figure came into his field of vision again.

"Who is it this time? Hyosube Ichibei? Shutara Senjumaru? Or Aizen Sousuke?"

Qiu Shi could no longer believe his eyes, and the loss of power made it impossible for him to use Omniscience and Omnipotence.

"No, this time it's the real person~"

Higashino Shuichi leaned close to Akimi's ear and whispered something, then raised his Zanpakuto and pierced Akimi's heart with a single strike.

"You coward, you don't even dare to fight me head-on."

Feeling the pain in her heart, Qiu Shi knew that she was very close to death.

But he was still very unwilling.

In this fabricated future he created, his advantages should be limitless.

He had already possessed the most powerful individual in this future!
But why, why can't he kill this hateful Grim Reaper!
Where exactly did he go wrong?!
The script shouldn't be like this!

"I'm not stupid. Right now, I'm no match for Yhwach. With someone here who can take care of you, why should I do it myself?"
If you really have to blame someone, blame yourself for choosing to possess a man destined to die. If I were you, I would definitely choose to possess Aizen Sousuke.

"Looking at the blood flowing down his Zanpakuto, Higashino Shuichi said."

"Is that so? If there's a next time, I'll choose Aizen Sō."

Qiu Shi felt his consciousness beginning to fade, and he knew that his life was about to come to an end.

Because in this fictional future, those of them who were pulled in, if they die, they really die.

Faintly, Qiu Shi seemed to hear some sounds coming from beside her ear.
"I've heard that drinking Yhwach's blood can make you a Quincy and grant you the power of the Holy Script."

"But this should be aimed at humans; it might not work on the Grim Reaper."

"But this is a fictional world; anything can happen, can't it?"

"The blood in the heart is always a little different, isn't it?"

"Anyway, I've drunk it. I don't know if it'll have any benefits, but it probably won't do any harm either."

Immediately afterwards, there was another gulp, as if someone had actually drunk something.

But none of this has anything to do with Qiu Shi anymore.

He finally closed his eyes peacefully.

At least, he didn't come away empty-handed; he successfully completed the task of covering the rear.

Just as Akimi completely lost her breath, Higashino Shuichi disappeared amidst everyone's astonished gazes.

When Higashino Shuichi opened his eyes from his daze, he had returned to the present world.

The place is still the same place. Looking around, there is still a large area of ​​scorched earth that has not yet recovered. Only a small number of houses have been rebuilt.

However, the once prosperous Osaka Prefecture is now a far cry from its former glory, and has become extremely desolate and barren.

However, instead of immediately searching for Shusuke Kisaragi and the others, Higashino Shuichi first found an abandoned hut where no one lived.

The aftereffects of drinking Yhwach's blood were acting up; he could feel his body burning, and a mysterious power was constantly surging through his body.

Even when Higashino Shuichi tried to control this newborn power by controlling his own Shinigami power, the latter collided violently with the Shinigami power within Higashino Shuichi's body.

Even though it seems somewhat overconfident in the face of Shuichi Higashino's current Bleach, being only slightly stronger than the Hollow power that is confined to a corner, it has shown an unruly arrogance far exceeding that of the Hollow power.

Not content with fighting against the power of death, it continued to provoke the power of the void within Higashino Shuichi. As a result, the power of the void, which had been initially conquered by Higashino Shuichi, began to stir under its provocation, and a skull mask began to appear and disappear on Higashino Shuichi's face.

Seeing this, Higashino Shuichi knew he might have really messed up this time.

Now that Kisuke Urahara is not by his side, and it is impossible for him to go to Soul Society to find Aizen in this unstable state, how can he master the power of the Quincy?

I don't recall this being part of the original storyline.
Higashino Shuichi felt that Kurosaki Ichigo had naturally mastered the Quincy's power, so why did it feel like something terrible was about to happen to him?

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and a sacred character appeared in Higashino Shuichi's mind.

I。

Imagine; to fabricate; to imagine.

At the very moment this sacred script appeared, Higashino Shuichi also learned of the power it had granted him.

Without any hesitation, just before his body was about to lose control, Higashino Shuichi activated this ability.

Soon, a brand new human male, who, according to Higashino Shuichi's imagination, had a face somewhat similar to Kimura Takuya, appeared before Higashino Shuichi.

Then, without lingering, Higashino Shuichi placed his right hand on the human male's chest.

The Quincy power that had just been fiercely fighting inside Higashino Shuichi's body flowed into the human male's body with remarkable ease.

Soon, Shuichi Higashino began to experience a completely new world.

A true 24/7 dual-perspective experience with no blind spots.

Thanks to his previous experience controlling the spirit beings, Higashino Shuichi did not encounter any particular obstacles in controlling himself and the human male at the same time.

Furthermore, it is possible that from the very beginning of the creation, the author unconsciously referenced his own spiritual human in his mind. This fictional human male also possesses a certain degree of autonomy and can perform some simple actions on his own according to Higashino Shuichi's orders.

"So, does this mean I now have a true clone? Or a Quincy with innate holy script?"

Higashino Shuichi sized up the human Quincy he had created, muttering to himself with a hint of surprise.

As we all know, for a cunning old fox, having an extra clone, especially one that is completely unrelated, means that the room for maneuver in the future will become extremely large.

Furthermore, if necessary, Higashino Shuichi can directly dispel the illusion, allowing the Quincy power to return to his body.

However, Higashino Shuichi won't do that for the time being. The Quincy power is still too weak, and his control over it is not strong. If he can't completely control it like he does with Hollow power, forcibly taking it back will only do harm, not good, just like what happened before.

Higashino Shuichi estimated that only when he could fully master the Quincy power and train it to the point where it could initially keep up with the pace of his own Shinigami power could he withdraw it to provide him with some assistance.

And coincidentally, it seems that Higashino Shuichi still has some connections with the Extinction Master in the present world.

Shuichi Higashino has not forgotten Rimi Nagasawa's older sister, Mai Kurosaki.

In high spirits, looking at the human male Quincy who looked very much like Takuya Kimura, Shuichi Higashino patted him on the shoulder.

"From now on, I'll call you Kabuto Takuya!"
