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

Chapter 173, Chapter 171. A fruitless search? No, just wait.
In Soul Society, because the flow rate in the Dangai is different from that in Soul Society, Yushima Osh, who had finally returned here, hadn't even had time to find Kurotsuchi Mayuri before he saw Higashino Shuichi carrying Saizo Goku, who had been rendered powerless to resist, back from the Dangai like a chick.

Yujima Oshu swallowed hard. Well, although he did believe that Shuichi could definitely defeat this so-called first captain, wasn't this speed a bit too fast?
Wouldn't that make him look even less skilled?
"Show a great person"

For a moment, Yujima Oshu couldn't even find the words to describe her current feelings.

However, Higashino Shuichi was clearly much clearer-headed than him.

Upon seeing Yushima Oshu's physical condition after coming out, Higashino Shuichi went to Yushima Oshu's side without saying a word, stretched out a hand, and used his special ability to begin repairing Yushima Oshu's body.

You don't need to participate in this assessment.

While treating Yushima Oshu, Higashino Hideichi made the arrangements.

Given Yushima Ouko's current state, participating in the assessment meticulously designed by Higashino Shuichi and Aizen would definitely be more difficult, and if any unexpected events occur, it would be a case of more harm than good.

"Understood, Lord Shuichi."

Yujima Osho was well aware of his own limitations regarding Higashino Shuichi's arrangement, and therefore did not object.

Meanwhile, the Death Gods of the Day Moon Class, who were undergoing their assessment in the Northern Flowing Soul Mountain, were drawn into a crisis they perceived as such.

Just after the assessment was announced, as they entered Fengliu Mountain to complete their mountain climbing mission according to plan, a massive, dark cavity that blotted out the sky suddenly opened up on the mountain.

Furthermore, as the black cavity opened, a spiritual energy wall hanging down from the edge of the black cavity also completed the encirclement of the entire Fengliu Mountain.

Almost instantly, Mount Furyu became an isolated island in the Soul Society.

"Is this the dust-free domain developed by expanding upon the principle of the Hueco Mundo that Barragán summoned before, and combining it with our anti-membrane techniques?"

"Through this method, we can peel away the space within Soul Society and even bring it back to Hueco Mundo?"

"Halibel, the current No. 2 Espada of Hueco Mundo, who came to Soul Society with the Black Hole, looked down at the panicked Shinigami below and said..."

There were no living beings around her at the moment, but soon, a white bandage suddenly appeared around Halibel. The bandage was removed, and a figure appeared. It was none other than Gin Ichimaru, the current captain of the Third Division of Soul Society, who was wearing a captain's haori.

Beneath his feet was a thin membrane of spiritual particles composed of the twenty-six curves of the Binding Path, designed to prevent him from being discovered by the Death Gods of the Day and Moon Ranks below.

"Of course, this is just its most basic application. Szayelaporro said that there should be more room for development in this technology, but that guy has been unlucky lately. He messed up his soul splitting experiment and now it's questionable whether he can survive."

Gin Ichimaru squinted, a faint, incomprehensible smile on his face, and said.

If Aizen Sousuke's smile easily puts people at ease, and Higashino Shuichi's smile makes one feel a heartfelt warmth and a flutter in their heart, then the smile on the face of this Shinigami named Ichimaru Gin only makes Halibel feel a sense of gloom.

In Halibel's eyes, Gin Ichimaru was like a venomous snake, completely out of place with Aizen's art style, and even completely different from Kaname Tosen, who rarely smiled whenever he came to Hueco Mundo.

At the very least, she didn't like Gin Ichimaru.

In particular, this time, the mission they were sent by Aizen was to deal with Higashino Shuichi, the man to whom she had decided to offer her loyalty in Halibel.

Every time she saw the eager and impatient expression on Gin Ichimaru's face as he opposed Shuichi Higashino, she couldn't help but want to kill him with her own hands.

Unfortunately, that person did not allow her to do so, as he did not want his identity to be exposed.

But Halibel really wanted to tell that lady that she didn't mind at all.

The worst-case scenario would simply be returning to Hueco Mundo and wandering around with her three grandchildren, which she didn't care about.

"What do we do now? That Grim Reaper named Higashino Shuichi doesn't seem to have appeared here as Aizen-sama predicted."

After scanning the area below, Helibel asked Gin Ichimaru.

Even though she is currently the No. 2 Espada of Hueco Mundo, and according to Aizen's ranking system, she is already considered to be below the Hollows and above all other Hollows, she still needs to cooperate with the Soul Society and the Shinigami when it comes to actions that require coming to the Soul Society and having the Shinigami's cooperation.

So Halibel directly passed the question to Gin Ichimaru.

“It’s alright. Even if he’s not here now, he’ll definitely come over once he finds out what happened here. With his abilities, breaking into this space will be a piece of cake for him.”

Gin Ichimaru stared down at the Shinigami below and spoke.

He wanted to improve his relationship with Higashino Shuichi.

Because Matsumoto Rangiku has been missing in the mortal world, Gin Ichimaru believes that only Shuichi Higashino, the person directly involved, knows whether Matsumoto Rangiku is alive or dead, and how she is doing.

However, because he had previously revealed his identity to Higashino Shuichi, Ichimaru Gin knew that it would be extremely difficult to improve his relationship with Higashino Shuichi before he could completely clear his name.

However, this does not mean that I have absolutely no chance.

For example, this time, after his strong persuasion, Aizen finally agreed to let him participate in the plan.

Since Aizen has no intention of killing another captain to provoke the Soul Society, he will have to use Kyoka Suigetsu to protect Gin Ichimaru if he decides to get involved this time.

This point is completely contained in the Ichimaru Silver Material.

Therefore, he plans to fight Higashino Shuichi again using his true form. However, this time, during the battle with Higashino Shuichi, he will deliberately use some guiding words to mislead Higashino Shuichi into thinking that he is an imposter.

This is combined with the alibi that Aizen created for himself in Soul Society using Kyoka Suigetsu.

Gin Ichimaru felt that his plan had a high success rate.

Of course, the only point of failure for this plan was probably Gin Ichimaru's own abilities.

Gin Ichimaru considered it briefly. If it were a life-or-death battle, he was confident that, relying on his hidden abilities, he could have a chance to kill Shuichi Higashino.

But if the fight was on the premise of not killing Higashino Shuichi, he estimated that even ten of himself wouldn't be enough for Higashino Shuichi to fight with one hand.

Therefore, he sought out Aizen's current No. 2 Espada, Tia Harribel, and current No. 3 Espada, Nelieel du Odshwank, as his allies.

As for why not the current No. 1, Koyat Stark...
This problem troubled Gintoki Ichimaru deeply. Was it that he didn't want to?
When Stark heard that it was about dealing with Higashino Shuichi, he immediately refused.

As the uncrowned king of Hueco Mundo, even Aizen, in terms of sheer strength, wouldn't fare well against Stark. If Stark refuses, Gin Ichimaru really has no way to force him to help. This matter will probably require Aizen's intervention.

However, Aizen was already being incredibly kind by agreeing to let him participate in the plan, and now Gin Ichimaru is trying to push his luck.
That would be no different from a fairy tale.

However, there was one thing Gin Ichimaru probably never expected: Stark refused to participate in this plan not because he was afraid of Shuichi Higashino, but because he knew that Higashino was not a real enemy, so his battle with Higashino would definitely be a meaningless and fake battle.

This is something he really dislikes.

Stark wanted every battle between him and Shuichi Higashino to be one where both sides gave it their all.

That would be a battle worth remembering and commemorating, regardless of victory or defeat.

As two people who had already had in-depth exchanges with each other long ago, Stark had no doubt that Higashino Shuichi and Aizen, these two Shinigami, were the people in this world who understood him best.

In Stark's view, Higashino Shuichi's understanding is even more valuable.

After all, Aizen only felt similarly to me because he himself had reached a point where he had no rivals.

Higashino Shuichi, on the other hand, truly put himself in others' shoes and understood them.

Therefore, Stark has always cherished Higashino Shuichi, one of the few Grim Reapers he could call a friend.

This is why he always chose to stand on Higashino's side whenever Barragan provoked him, and always managed to save Higashino from Barragan's clutches in time.

Otherwise, Shuichi Higashino would have been killed by Barragan, who disliked him, during one of his previous trips to Hueco Mundo.

After Gin Ichimaru finished speaking, another tall figure came to their side.
"So, our current task is to wait here for that Higashino Shuichi to arrive?"

The current No. 3 Espada of Hueco Mundo, Nellyel du Odshwank, swayed her voluptuous body, which was no less impressive than Halibel's, and stopped to ask.

"Of course, but if you two have your own ideas about those Shinigami down there, you can go down and have some fun. Except for that female Shinigami named Ise Nanao, who cannot die, you can have whatever you want with the others."

Gin Ichimaru glanced at the newly arrived Arrancar and said with a smile.

The main reason why Ise Nanao cannot get into trouble is that she has the backing of the 8th Division Captain Kyoraku Shunsui.

This man, who usually seems carefree and nonchalant, has been in the position of captain for so many years, and Ichimaru Gin is well aware of the powerful strength hidden behind him.

When the former lieutenant of the 8th Division, Yadomaru Lisa, was identified as a traitor by Soul Society because she was Hollowfied, Gin Ichimaru saw the sadness and regret in the eyes of the Kyoraku captain.

This is why Ise Nanao is nominally just a captain's assistant, but in reality, she is doing the duties of a vice-captain—a special case.

Gin Ichimaru knew that this was also a form of protection for Nanao Ise.
In the future, whenever a major event like the Hollowfication of the Shinigami occurs, as long as Kyoraku Shunsui wants, he can legitimately use the reason that Ise Nanao is not the vice-captain to refuse the arrangements from above on her behalf.

Therefore, even Aizen was unwilling to completely enrage the Eighth Division Captain over such a matter, thus prematurely igniting the great war between Soul Society and Hueco Mundo.

This was not a difficult task for Kyoraku Shunsui, one of the former captain's most prized disciples.

However, this was a bit of an oversimplification on Gin Ichimaru's part. The two female Arrancar he chose this time were fundamentally different from the other Arrancar.

"Hmph, I'm not interested!"

"Oh, I'm not interested~"

Halibel and Nel answered almost simultaneously.

Both of them were simply following Aizen's orders and were forced to come to Soul Society to work overtime. He wanted them to do more work.

There are no doors!

Moreover, both of them are averse to killing.

Even if they were asked to actively kill their fellow Shinigami in Hueco Mundo under normal circumstances, they wouldn't do it, let alone bully Shinigami in a place like this.
And so, the atmosphere in mid-air suddenly became eerie.

Gin Ichimaru, Halibel, and Nel simply stared at each other blankly.

However, compared to the ease of Ichimaru Gin and his group...

Below, Ikkaku Madarame and Kaien Shiba appeared much more nervous.

After all, Aizen had arranged for three people to snipe Higashino Shuichi, so how could he not prepare a little gift for Shiba Kaien and the other Shinigami?
"Aronello Erurueri, that's the name I gave him, Lord Aizen."

Not long ago, before even beginning his own soul-splitting experiment, Szayelaporro, having completed all the tasks assigned by Aizen, stood before the experimental table, pointing proudly at the Gillian he had just modified.

This is a brand-new second-generation product he developed after iterating on the technology of Atdis, the successful experimental subject that once drove Higashino Shuichi to the brink of despair.

This brand-new Hollow can not only counter the spiritual pressure of Shinigami by suppressing their spiritual power, but it can also go further and directly devour Shinigami, thereby obtaining everything including the Shinigami's appearance, voice, and abilities.

It's no exaggeration to say that the Yaronilo Erurueri in front of us is the pinnacle of Szayelaporro's technology over the past seven years.

Of course, Szayelaporro knew that this was just the beginning. The Aronilo Elruyeri in front of him did not yet possess full self-awareness. As a Gillian, it did not yet have the ability to think for itself like Vastod-class Hollows and Arrancar.

Therefore, the current Aronilo Eluruyeri cannot yet be considered a suitable weapon.

However, turning it into a perfect weapon is actually quite simple.

Szayelaporro gazed intently at Aizen Sousuke across from him, who, as Szayelaporro had wished, took out the dazzling gem.

"It's still as dazzling as ever! Just one glance is enough to captivate me, leaving me completely mesmerized!"

Gazing at the Hogyoku, Szayelaporro spared no praise.

This is the magnificent Hogyoku!

A hissing sound echoed in the laboratory!
A roar erupts in this romantic mountain!
Carrying Aizen's mission, the newly appointed Arrancar, Aaroniero Erurueri, reports for duty!
