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

Chapter 156, Page 154. I've been waiting for you, Kuchiki Sojun.
In the present world, in Beihai Prefecture.

Just as the battle on the other side was about to reach its climax, the Shinigami stationed there had no choice but to send a distress signal to the Soul Society before their deaths.

No one knew where these people, who were neither human nor illusory, and certainly not Death, came from.

They eat people, they eat death, as if any creature they can devour can become their food, yet they have the bodies of ordinary humans.

Although the spiritual pressure emanating from his body is not high, he possesses combat power far exceeding the limits of his spiritual pressure.

Each of them even possesses abilities similar to the Zanpakuto of the Shinigami.

Since most of the main members of the 13th Division, which was in charge of the human world, had already gone to the human world, the Grim Reaper's distress message naturally ended up in the hands of Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the captain of the 12th Division.

In response, Mayuri Kurotsuchi watched as his modified soul ravaged the ordinary Shinigami of the 13th Division on the surveillance cameras, while simultaneously recording the data. After confirming that these modified souls possessed strength far exceeding that of ordinary Shinigami and could reach the level of high-ranking officers, but lacked rationality, he slowly transmitted the message to the Captain-Commander.

These first-generation modified souls can only be described as partially successful so far. There is still a long way to go before they are truly successful. Therefore, these failed samples, whose data has been basically collected, should be handed over to the other captains of the Gotei 13 for disposal.

In any case, the final corpse will still be sent back to Mayuri Kurotsuchi, thus completing the cycle.

Faced with this cry for help from the real world, Yamamoto's face darkened.

coincidence?

He didn't believe it.

It's more like a backup plan.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni preferred to believe that the person behind the scenes was worried that the first disturbance wouldn't attract Shiba Kaien's attention, so they set up this second incident. That way, when most of the Shinigami were dragged into the previous quagmire, Shiba Kaien, as the vice-captain of the 13th Division, would have to go and deal with it, no matter how unwilling he was, due to his duty.

However, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni could no longer satisfy the person behind the scenes.

He wanted to show that person what it meant to try to steal a chicken but end up losing the rice instead.

In this unusual second captains' meeting held in one day, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni did not ask the remaining captains for their opinions in a questioning tone this time. Instead, he directly stated that at least two captains were needed to go to deal with this new incident in the present world, and hoped that the remaining captains would volunteer.

This time, unexpectedly, it was Aizen Sousuke, the captain of the Fifth Division, who stepped forward first.

"This incident is far too serious, Captain, please let me go!"

Aizen held the report meticulously prepared by Mayuri Kurotsuchi in one hand, his brows furrowed slightly.

Seeing Aizen step forward, Gin Ichimaru, originally the third seat of the Fifth Division, who had become the captain of the Third Division after Urahara Kisuke and his group betrayed them, was also recommended by Aizen and other captains.

"Since Captain Aizen is going, then I'll take the left one without hesitation. It's been a long time since I fought alongside Captain Aizen."

Gin Ichimaru said with narrowed eyes, his expression unchanged, making it impossible to discern his inner joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.

"Well, speaking of which, it's been a long time since we fought side by side since you became the captain~"

Aizen turned his head to look at Gin Ichimaru, nodded to the latter, and said.

As for the other team leaders, seeing that two team leaders had already volunteered, they naturally wouldn't step forward to cause them any more trouble.

Thus, this mission to the human world was taken over by Aizen and Gin Ichimaru.

The second captain's meeting ended hastily, and Aizen and Gin Ichimaru traveled to the present-day Hokkaido through the portal opened by Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

Shortly after Captains Aizen and Gin Ichimaru left, a huge black cavity opened above the first district of West Rukongai outside the Seireitei. Countless terrifying auras poured into Soul Society like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

These suddenly appearing Hollows have only one goal: to invade Seireitei!
"Hahahaha! Yamamoto, I, Barragan, am back!"

Watching his Arrancar forces effortlessly storm into Seireitei, Barragan stood high in the air, arrogantly shouting towards the center of Seireitei.

In an instant, all the Shinigami still in Seireitei knew that the Lord of Hueco Mundo had led his Hollow army to attack Soul Society!

Inside the Seireitei, in the main bedroom of the Kuchiki family, Kuchiki Sōjun, who hadn't been able to get a good night's sleep since last night and had been repeatedly summoned by the Captain-Commander for captain meetings, naturally heard Barragan's arrogant voice.

"Cang Chun, are you going out again?"

Seeing her husband, who had just returned to bed and hadn't even lain down to close his eyes yet, Ao Chun's wife looked at Kuchiki Ao Chun with heartache and asked him.

Unlike Kuchiki Sōjun, his wife was just an ordinary noblewoman, whose spiritual pressure was even lower than that of an ordinary Shinigami member.

As the wife of the head of the Kuchiki family, she rarely concerned herself with matters of death, spending most of her time at home taking care of her husband and children. Therefore, she did not have a concrete understanding of Barragan.

However, as the head of the Kuchiki family and the captain of the Sixth Division, Kuchiki Sojun knew all too well what the name Barragan meant.

"Yes, the Soul Society and the Human World are too turbulent today. It's very likely that we won't have a moment's peace. After I leave, you'd better take Byakuya and his wife and hide away."

Feeling the overwhelming spiritual pressure that had already invaded the Seireitei, Kuchiki Sōjun worriedly warned his wife.

"Oh? Is it that serious?"

Hearing her husband tell her to hide with the children, Cang Chun's wife finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

"It must be very serious. The Seireitei is currently depleted in strength; nearly half of the captains have gone to the Human World. That Lord of Hueco Mundo has chosen a good time."

Kuchiki Sojun said with a solemn expression.

"I understand, Cang Chun, you can go ahead!"

After hearing this, Cang Chun's wife stopped trying to hold her husband back and waved for him to leave.

Just as Kuchiki Sōjun stepped out of the room, he discovered that his son had arrived there at some unknown time.

Looking at his son, whose personality was nothing like his own but rather quite similar to his father, Kuchiki Ginryu, Kuchiki Sojun knew what he wanted to do without Kuchiki Byakuya even having to say a word.

Therefore, Kuchiki Soujun simply shook his head: "No, Byakuya, this level of battle is still too far away for you, who hasn't yet mastered the Bankai of your Zanpakuto. I'll be fine here!"

Kuchiki Sojun ruthlessly extinguished Kuchiki Byakuya's idea of ​​helping him.

He knew that Byakuya Kuchiki had always wanted to prove himself.

The fact that he couldn't let his grandfather, Ginryu Kuchiki, witness his mastery of Bankai before he died is something that Byakuya Kuchiki can never forgive himself for.

So now he desperately wants to help his father, whose health is not very good.

Kuchiki Sojun can understand this feeling, but he absolutely does not support it.

"Your father may be a little physically weak, but he's still a real captain."

After forcibly ordering Kuchiki Byakuya to stay at home and giving him an irresistible reason—that he must protect his mother and his new wife—Kuchiki Sojun finally left the Kuchiki family's residence.

At this moment, the streets outside the Kuchiki family compound were practically deserted due to Barragan's high-profile invasion with his Hollow army. The minor nobles who originally lived around the Kuchiki family had learned their lesson after the Kasumigaru family rebellion, and upon sensing the chaotic spiritual pressure of the Hollows invading Seireitei, they all sought refuge.

Even worse, some people brought their entire families and went straight to the First Squadron's barracks!

On the desolate street, only the back of a death god could be seen, and Kuchiki Soujun looked somewhat familiar with that figure.

Because he was wearing a white captain's haori, and because the number "five" was embroidered on the captain's haori.

"Captain Aizen? What are you doing here?"

Kuchiki Aojun didn't realize anything was wrong at first. He just felt that he seemed to remember Aizen going to the human world with the captain of the Third Division, Gin Ichimaru.
Does this mean the current events have been resolved?

That's not impossible, after all, two captains were dispatched at once. According to the report submitted by Mayuri Kurotsuchi, those guys causing trouble in Hokkaido weren't that strong.

"I'll be waiting for you here, Head of the Kuchiki Clan~"

Aizen didn't turn around, but looked up at the cherry blossom petals falling from the trees along the street, a scene that was somewhat poignant.

"Waiting for me? Perfect, let's go and meet that Lord of Hueco Mundo together!"

Kuchiki Sojun didn't notice anything amiss from Aizen's unusual way of addressing him. He was still thinking that with the Fifth Division Captain by his side, the upcoming battle would probably be easier.

However, just as Kuchiki Sōjun was about to approach Aizen, the latter turned around, and his dark spiritual pressure instantly separated the two.

"Together? No, Lord Kuchiki, to be precise, right now, within the entire Seireitei, only you are truly facing the Lord of Hueco Mundo."

Aizen tucked his hands into his sleeves, his eyes slightly narrowed beneath his old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses.

Upon hearing this, Kuchiki Sōjun's expression finally changed.

"What do you mean? You're the Lord of Hueco Mundo? Are you saying Barragan is an imposter? How is that possible? Could Barragan possibly be your subordinate?"

Kuchiki Sōjun revealed an ugly smile.

He desperately wanted to see Aizen Sousuke across from him utter those words, "I was just joking."

But from beginning to end, Aizen's expression did not change at all, nor did he refute his question, as if he had tacitly agreed.

At this moment, Kuchiki Sōjun recalled the Shinigami captain's betrayal more than ten years ago that shocked the entire Soul Society.

He remembered what the current Great Swordsman, Higashino Shuichi, had told the captains through Soi Fon after he returned: "Back then, none of us were traitors!"

It turns out, the traitor really was Aizen Sousuke;
It turns out, the one who was wrong was indeed Soul Society, not Kisuke Urahara and his group.
Having understood all this, Kuchiki Sojun gave a bitter smile as he looked at Aizen Sousuke.
"So, the fact that you've so openly told me all this means that if you don't want to take over Soul Society in one fell swoop and realize your unspeakable secret, it means you already believe that I can't get this information out alive, right?"

"This is a corrupt world, and it should not be managed by a group of corrupt people. Otherwise, this world will only become more and more corrupt."

I can bring evolution to this world, while you only bring decay.

Aizen did not directly answer Kuchiki Soujun's question, but Kuchiki Soujun also heard the answer he wanted to know from Aizen's words.

That is, today, only one of him and Aizen Sousuke can survive.

"Hado #73, Twin Lotus Azure Flame Fall!"

The blue flames erupted, engulfing Aizen on the other side.

Kuchiki Sōjun hoped that he would be the one to survive.

In that case, after today, he will represent the Kuchiki family and join forces with the Shiba family, who have always stood up for Urahara Kisuke and his group, to exonerate those former Shinigami captains and vice-captains who have been wronged.

But less than three minutes later, Kuchiki Sōjun knelt on the ground.

The pupils in his eyes gradually began to dilate.

His entire body was covered with countless small holes, marks left after being pierced by the purest spiritual pressure.

Beneath Kuchiki Sojun's feet lay a deep crimson carpet that nearly covered half the street outside their Kuchiki family home.

His blood had long since dried up.

Why is Aizen Sousuke so strong?
Kuchiki Sojun couldn't understand it. As a captain, he had used his Bankai without holding back, but Aizen Sosuke hadn't even used the release of his Zanpakuto. He had only used a few Kido techniques, along with simple and unadorned Hakuda, and with that overwhelming spiritual pressure, he had fallen without any chance to fight back.

He remembered that he had just stepped out of the Kuchiki family's gate.
After such a fierce battle, Byakuya probably won't even come out to take a look, right?

Please don't come out, Byakuya!

Hide away, preferably to the mortal world, and find Urahara Kisuke. At the very least, find the Great Swordsman, Higashino Shuichi. Only they know Aizen's true nature.
Kuchiki Sōjun suddenly found that he had so much to say to his child, Byakuya.

Unfortunately, as his body crashed to the ground, none of the words that Kuchiki Sojun wanted to say reached Byakuya's ears.

After confirming that Kuchiki Sojun was dead, Aizen Sosuke glanced at the Kuchiki family compound, which was nearby, but did not go in to start a massacre.

He knew that Kuchiki Byakuya was inside at that moment, and through his senses, he could see that Kuchiki Byakuya had suddenly rushed towards the Kuchiki family gate for some unknown reason.

But Aizen left.

Because his purpose in instigating this incident was not to kill all these nobles.

For him, the life or death of these nobles was completely meaningless, and the death of too many nobles would reduce the amount of material he had in Hueco Mundo.

Aizen waited for Kuchiki Soujun here simply because, for his own purposes, Kuchiki Soujun, the head of one of the five traditional noble families, had to die.

That's it.

After Aizen left, Byakuya Kuchiki finally arrived at his own front door.

From the very beginning, for some reason, his heart had been pounding, and a strong sense of unease lingered in his mind.

This made him think that he might never see his father again.

He didn't want this to happen, so despite his mother's objections, Kuchiki Byakuya rushed out.

Then, at his own doorstep, he saw his father's withered body, dried up from blood loss, lying in a pool of blood.

"Father!!!"

At the door of the Kuchiki family's house, only painful sorrow remained.
