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

Chapter 261, page 259. Who else!
"The White Lightning of the Fourth Hado Technique?"

"Penetrating the Captain's fortifications and inflicting flames?"

"Is this a dream?"

When most of the captains present saw Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni pierce through the body by Higashino Shuichi's White Lightning, they were in an uproar.

This is beyond their understanding of common sense.

Because the Captain-Commander's spiritual pressure is the upper limit of a Shinigami, this is almost a universally acknowledged fact in the Soul Society.

No Shinigami will ever surpass Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni in spiritual pressure.

This means that it is almost impossible for a low-level Kido to achieve a comeback in Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's case.

The reason I say "almost" is because not long ago, this statement was "completely impossible."

It was Higashino Shuichi's unexpected move that forcibly changed the captains' perception.

But how exactly did Hideichi Higashino do it?
No one knows.

The Quincy's ability to use sacred script is still a blank slate in the current Soul Society.

No one could have known that Shuichi Higashino could draw power from a virtual, fantastical future.

Even if Higashino Shuichi can only exert half of this power.

However, relying on Higashino Shuichi's powerful body and the unreasonable fragments of the Spirit King's body within his soul.

Shuichi Higashino's counterattack can still be described as highly effective.

However, although Higashino Shuichi's use of White Lightning shocked all the captains present.

However, Bai Lei, who possesses the attribute of "penetrating all things," cannot solve the problem of Cheng Guo Yan Shang, who is about to devour Higashino Shuichi.

The enormous fiery hand was about to close, trapping Higashino Shuichi inside, with absolutely no intention of escaping.

Soi Fon, with unknown feelings, turned her gaze to the small hole that Hakurai had poked in.

If Soi Fon had the choice, she believed she would definitely use that small hole as her breakthrough point.

Concentrate all your strength to escape from the city walls and unleash a deadly attack.

"Lord Shuichi would probably do the same, right?"

Soi Fon couldn't help but think to herself.

But then she shook her head violently.

No way! She's the captain of the Second Division. At a time like this, instead of helping the Captain-Commander, she's thinking about the "enemy." She's such a failure as a captain!

But no matter how many times Soi Fon told herself this, her gaze eventually fell on the small hole.

She hoped that a figure would appear there.

But the truth is, Soi Fon forgot something very important.

That was a simple physical attack, unable to harm Higashino Shuichi in the slightest.

Standing within that fiery palm, Higashino Shuichi needed neither to flee nor defend himself; he simply needed to continue advancing towards Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

Those intense flames relentlessly scorched Higashino's skin, attempting to engulf him.

But every time a part of them is burned off, new ones grow back on Higashino Shuichi's body.

Sometimes, the flames even burned faster than Higashino Shuichi's body recovered.

One step, two steps.
When Higashino Shuichi emerged from the giant fiery palm, the Grim Reapers realized that Higashino Shuichi had only been showing off his skills.

The fact that his body was almost completely intact was enough to demonstrate that even Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who was hailed as the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society in a thousand years, could not have survived.
Even the temperature generated by his Zanpakuto after its release, far exceeding that of ordinary flames, was no match for the current Higashino Shuichi.

Even Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni himself couldn't help but frown.

Is there really no limit to Higashino Shuichi's stamina?

Based on Higashino Shuichi's past physical condition, he should be lying unconscious in some unknown corner by now (completely exhausted).

But now?

Not only is Higashino Shuichi in good physical condition, but he is also in excellent mental condition.

You've changed.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni looked at Higashino Shuichi, who seemed to have been reborn from the ashes, and said.

"You just said that?"

Higashino Shuichi countered with a question.

It is spirit, and also soul.

Something changed you, making you the way you are now, right?

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni did not disgrace the title of the strongest Grim Reaper in a thousand years; he did find a clue in Higashino Shuichi.

"Is it useful to say this now?"

Higashino Shuichi walked to within a hundred meters of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and raised his sword.

Not much spiritual pressure gathered on the blade, so the feeling it gave other Shinigami was even less oppressive than the few times that Higashino Shuichi had casually swung his sword, the One-Sword Cremation.

But when Higashino Shuichi controlled the Zanpakuto in his hand to fall...

For every half-inch it falls, the whole world seems to shrink by a foot.

That is the accumulation of momentum, the breakthrough of power.

This is how it feels to be the Grim Reaper.

For Shuichi Higashino, this is simply another Sacred Script ability from a fictional future, specifically the Sacred Script E: Critical Strike from the girl group Bambiette.

"Ha ha ha ha!
"Well done!"

Blood splatters.

It's possible that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni could have dodged Higashino Shuichi's strike.

In a rather undignified and disheveled manner.

However, thanks to Kenpachi Zaraki, the captain of the 11th Division, Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto still maintained the dignity of a Captain-Commander.

Looking at Kenpachi Zaraki on the ground, whose body had almost been cut in two by someone like Shuichi Higashino, and was now only connected by a few strands of flesh, with less air intake than exhalation.

Higashino Shuichi said with a hint of regret,
"Stepping forward, not Kenpachi, but very much like Kenpachi."

Then, a giant manta ray swept across the ground and swallowed Kenpachi Zaraki whole just as his body was about to hit the ground.

"Flying, flesh droplet!"

This is Retsu Unohana's Zanpakuto Shikai; Shuichi Higashino couldn't possibly be mistaken.

After all, he was a man she had once had a slight thought of. Retsu Unohana decided to give Kenpachi Zaraki one last act of tenderness, which could also be considered as understanding the nearly thousand-year-old entanglement between them.

Because Kenpachi Zaraki is far too weak compared to Shuichi Higashino!
So weak that Retsu Unohana didn't even have the thought of raising her sword in front of Kenpachi Zaraki.

Higashino Shuichi straightened up again, gazing into the distance.

Team leaders arrived one after another from all four directions.

Shiba Isshin of the 10th Division, Aizen Sousuke of the 5th Division, and Kurotsuchi Mayuri of the 12th Division, as well as Kisaragi Shusuke, who has temporarily cleared up the initial misunderstanding with these captains and gained their temporary trust.

"Heh. After all, they're just four mindless skeletons, fighting purely on instinct. They're definitely not up to the task when their captain gets serious."

Shuichi Higashino smiled elegantly.

There was no panic on his face.

With the help of Yuki Shusuke, these captains were able to eliminate these spirit remains possessing the power of the first captain so quickly.
This was naturally also due to the betrayal and assistance of a top-tier traitor like Kisaragi Shusuke.

"Sir Xiuichi!"

Upon arriving and seeing Higashino Shuichi surrounded by a group of captains, Kisaragi Shusuke immediately looked in Higashino Shuichi's direction and shouted loudly.

He didn't say anything more, knowing that Lord Hideaki would understand what he was trying to say.

He wants to join the war!
He didn't want Hideaki to bear the infamy alone; he was willing to fight alongside Hideaki against the entire Soul Society!
However, the answer Kisaragi Shusuke received was a slight shake of his head from Higashino Shuichi, and Higashino Shuichi's firm and unwavering resignation to all the captains.

"They're all here?"

Okay, then I'll be frank with you all about something here too~
Regarding the question you've all been asking, Kisaragi Shusuke's Baku sword, yes, it's one of my personal treasures;
Kisaragi Shusuke's betrayal was due to my deception and threats;

The same goes for Matsumoto Rangiku;
The Rotting Wood River is no exception!

I am such a bad person, an incorrigible traitor to Soul Society!
The power of emptiness has already made me terminally ill;

The pity of the Tsunayo family also made me feel nauseous!

Guardian is today's theme song!

If you want to try, come on, don't hold back your attacks!
Because those nobles only have one life!

Higashino opened his arms wide in front of all the captains of the Gotei 13.

This is less a self-reproach statement by Higashino Shuichi and more a challenge he issued to the entire Gotei 13.

"You are really too arrogant, Higashino Shuichi!"

Do you know what you're facing right now?

The strongest in the entire Soul Society, all the captains of the Gotei 13!

Captain Aizen Sousuke of the Fifth Division reached up and pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, smiling as he spoke to Higashino Shuichi.

"so what?"

Higashino Shuichi looked around with an air of superiority.

It was as if there was nothing he could take seriously.

"Break it into pieces, Jing Hua Shui Yue!"

Aizen Sousuke unleashed his Zanpakuto, but not with its true power. Instead, he used the extremely weakened and nerfed version of Kyoka Suigetsu, the one that Aizen Sousuke usually humbly used with other Shinigami.

It can only slightly confuse the enemy's visual, auditory, and spatial perception abilities.

Aizen's action was like a starting pistol, officially kicking off the second major battle between the captains and Shuichi Higashino.

"Go, God-Slaying Spear!"

Gin Ichimaru was as protective of his reputation and as observant as ever. While Aizen and Shuichi Higashino were still talking, he had already prepared to launch a sneak attack.

This time, Gin Ichimaru was much better prepared.

His divine-killing spear did indeed pierce through Higashino Shuichi's body.

However, Gin Ichimaru was not happy about this.

It wasn't because Gin Ichimaru cared about the debt of gratitude he owed to Shuichi Higashino.

To be honest, that debt of gratitude had long been severed from Gin Ichimaru's mind.

What struck me as eerie was that it seemed he had actually killed Higashino Shuichi in front of all the captains of Soul Society!
"Rangiku, let me explain. I didn't mean to."

Looking at his childhood sweetheart, whom he had longed for day and night, Gin Ichimaru felt an indescribable pang of pain in his heart.

He swore that he really just wanted to put on a show, after all, he had already tested his God-Slaying Spear before, and Higashino Shuichi could easily block it.

So, his deliberate attack on Higashino Shuichi's vital points not only had no effect, but actually increased his standing in the eyes of veteran captains like Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

But who could have imagined that at that time, Higashino Shuichi was already at the end of his life, and would be extinguished with a gentle blow.

etc.
"Rangiku back then?"

Gin Ichimaru's eyes gradually cleared. He seemed to have forgotten many things, such as how the great war ended, what everyone did after it ended, and how much time had passed since that great war.

Under normal circumstances, it would be absolutely impossible for him to forget these things.

Unless he never experienced it at all, everything he has experienced up to this point is...
The scene shifts, and Gin Ichimaru finds himself back on that familiar battlefield.

However, the one who was shot to death by his divine killing gun was no longer Higashino Shuichi, but Matsumoto Rangiku, who rushed up to shield Higashino Shuichi from the blade.

"Do not!!!"

Gin Ichimaru let out a hoarse, desperate cry.

Why is this happening? !
Wait, how did Rangiku end up here?

What is going on? !
A rare sight indeed: bloodshot veins appeared in Gin Ichimaru's eyes.

It was at this moment that he heard these words drift into his ears.

Do you like the fictional future I've created for you?

Gin Ichimaru's eyes widened.

Because that's the voice of Hideichi Higashino.

But is this really not Aizen Sousuke's ability?
No, it couldn't possibly be Aizen Sousuke's ability, because Gin Ichimaru was absolutely certain that he had touched Aizen Sousuke's Zanpakuto before he was hit by Kyoka Suigetsu.

Therefore, Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu would be absolutely ineffective against him.

Then
Before Gin Ichimaru could even begin to ponder and analyze the meaning of the fictional future in Shuichi Higashino's words, Sosuke Aizen suddenly appeared before him.

Caught completely off guard, Ichimaru Gin was stabbed through the heart by Aizen Sousuke.

Gin Ichimaru's mind was a little confused, but it quickly cleared up as he completely lost consciousness.
The other captains were stunned as they watched Gin Ichimaru suddenly fall from the sky.

This is how the same thing?

And look at the somewhat gruesome injuries on Gin Ichimaru's body.

"What exactly happened in that brief moment?!"

This was the biggest question in the minds of almost every Death Captain present at the scene.

Holy Writing Ability I: Fictional Fantasy, Fictional Future!
This was the second time that Shuichi Higashino developed his Holy Script ability I after he retrieved his Quincy clone.

Based on his own personal experience, and drawing on the practical experience gained from borrowing Aizen's abilities, given enough time, and with the help of the Soul King's left leg within Higashino Shuichi's soul,

Shuichi Higashino has no doubt that he could even create a completely "real" fictional world, instead of having it so easily exposed as it is now.

However, this is just a minor matter that doesn't cause any real harm.

After Gin Ichimaru inexplicably collapsed, Shuichi Higashino's gaze swept over the remaining Shinigami captains who were still fighting, a smile playing on his lips.
"So here comes the classic question: Who else!"
