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

Chapter 262, page 260: All Failures, Last Hope
"silver!"

The captain of the 10th Division, Shiba Isshin, who was closest to Ichimaru Gin, used Shunpo to catch him as he fell.

The instant kills of three captains in a row have put pressure on most of the Grim Reapers present.

"We have to go together!"

"If we continue to stand idly by, the consequences could be very serious."

This consensus was quickly reached in the minds of almost all the Death Captains.

Except for Retsu Unohana, the captain of the Fourth Division.

"I'm just the captain of a medical squad; fighting is the last thing I'm good at."

This is how Retsu Unohana explained it to Kenpachi Zaraki, who had just survived the Flesh Droplet.

Above, in the sky, Higashino Shuichi faced alone the encirclement of eight captains.

"Hado #78, Slay the Flower Wheel!"

This time, it was Kyoraku Shunsui who first unleashed the Kido Blade at Higashino Shuichi.

Before the pitch-black demonic blade could even reach Higashino Shuichi, it was crushed by Higashino Shuichi's two fingers.

But as Higashino Shuichi's gaze was drawn to the demonic blade, a short figure quietly approached from within his outstretched reach.

"Sting and kill all enemies! Birds and wasps!"

It was Soi Fon, the captain of the Second Division, who touched Shuichi Higashino's back with her Zanpakuto, leaving a black butterfly-shaped bee crest there.

Are they finally starting to cooperate?
Higashino Shuichi thought to himself, then, without even turning around, drew his sword and swept it horizontally to his right.
Divide into monthly slices!
"Burn, Yanyue! Crescent Moon Sky Surge!"

There stood Isshin Shiba, the captain of the 10th Division, who had also arrived quietly.

Flames and spiritual pressure mingled on that Zanpakuto, instantly unleashing power several times its own strength.

As the saying goes, the simplest truths are often the most profound. Sometimes, the purest multiplier attack is the most powerful and oppressive move.

For Shiba Isshin, Getsuga Tenshou clearly belongs to this category.

Although Shiba Isshin and Higashino Shuichi are currently very different in both the quality and quantity of their spiritual pressure.

However, this simple multiplier enhancement is enough to bridge the gap between the two.

However, there is one thing that Shiba Isshin cannot handle.

That was the fictional sacred script ability that Higashino Shuichi had infused into himself at this moment, which permeated all things.

Higashino Shuichi's sword is like a cutting blade for the entire world, easily severing everything it touches.

Even the invisible crescent moon in the sky is like this.

In the sky, Gin Ichimaru began to fall, and Isshin Shiba rushed over and caught him.

Higashino Shuichi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Next up is Kyoraku Shunsui's Seventy-Eighth Hado Technique, Zankarin?"

Ahead of Shuichi Higashino, a demonic blade arrived as expected.

Higashino instinctively stretched out two fingers and crushed it.

"And then..."

Higashino Shuichi felt a chill run down his back; Soi Fon had etched a honeycomb pattern there.

"So that's where the problem lies."

Higashino Shuichi already understood.

A phantom mask appeared on the body's surface, and the right hand stretched out to the right.
"Virtual flash!"

Golden light instantly appeared from the palm of Higashino Shuichi's right hand.

The light pierced through the crescent-shaped red skylight, grazed Shiba Isshin's body, and left a deep, unfathomable chasm in the distance.

At the same time, Higashino Shuichi appeared in another place.

It is a sound, an instantaneous spatial movement.

In this new location, Higashino Shuichi saw in the sky, above that layer of flowing spiritual pressure, the enormous golden demon child, the golden Ashisogi Jizo!

That was the Bankai of Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the captain of the 12th Division.

What provided cover for him was the ability of the water-type Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu, used by Aizen Sousuke, the captain of the Fifth Division.

In the minds of the other captains, this was the true power of the Mirror Flower Water Moon technique, which could confuse the enemy to some extent by reflecting light on the water's surface.

In fact, Aizen did just that.

For a captain whose abilities are not particularly strong, being able to temporarily influence Higashino Shuichi for such a short time is already quite commendable.

"In the past, you used travel potions to deal with me. You've really gone all out this time, Nie."

"Higashino Shuichi looked at Mayuri Kurotsuchi sitting atop the golden Ashess Jizo statue and said."

Fortunately, Higashino Shuichi had used this substance against Aizen Sousuke before, so he was familiar with some of the drug's weaknesses.

In addition to his own vigilance, he was able to break free from this repetitive journey so quickly.

After saying that, Higashino Shuichi planned to use Hibiki to rush up and pull Mayuri Kurotsuchi down.

However, he felt a strong sense of blockage as soon as he used the sound.

Indeed, this was the case; Higashino Shuichi was forcibly kept in place.

"Divine Divination: Passing Away!"

This is where Jushiro Ukitake makes his move. He uses his ability to absorb and then re-feed back all the spiritual pressure that Shuichi Higashino uses in battle.

Having learned his lesson from the past, this time, Jushiro Ukitake vowed that he would never let Shuichi Higashino go, nor would he covet Shuichi Higashino's abilities.

Thus, what was originally an ability to absorb and use the opponent's own methods against them was forcibly modified by Jushiro Ukitake into a debuff-type ability.

As long as Higashino Shuichi remains within the influence of his Pisces theory, and as long as Higashino Shuichi uses any ability involving spiritual pressure, the stronger the ability, the more spiritual particles Higashino Shuichi will lose.

"No one can defeat an opponent of the same level without replenishing their spiritual energy!"

Jushiro Ukitake thought with certainty.

However, he was unaware that his idea already contained a major problem.

What if an accident happens?
What if Higashino Shuichi's spiritual particles don't decrease?
Even Jushiro Ukitake couldn't explain this problem.

Because this is theoretically impossible.

Under the influence of its divine hexagram, "Flowing Away," Higashino Shuichi's spiritual pressure will be gradually drained away, like a frog being slowly boiled in water, until he slowly sinks to the bottom and eventually becomes an ordinary, unremarkable Grim Reaper.

In reality, despite such an onslaught, Higashino Shuichi's spiritual pressure showed no signs of weakening.

Is it because Pisces Rin didn't absorb and release Higashino Shuichi's spiritual pressure?
No, it's not that. It's that within Higashino Shuichi's body, there seems to be a spirit particle generator that never stops running. It's that thing that gives Higashino Shuichi the confidence to act with such impunity.

"Ninety-nine times of breaking the path, five dragons will be destroyed!"

Higashino Shuichi pointed his finger to the sky, and five giant dragons formed from spiritual pressure soared into the heavens.

Higashino Shuichi disliked being led by the nose, so he decided to deal with Ukitake Jushiro first. However, at this point, the remaining captains, Tosen Kaname (Squad 9) and Kuchiki Byakuya (Squad 6), also had to act.

The two of them each unleashed their own Bankai.

On the surface, Higashino Shuichi appears calm and collected, and in reality, he is just as calm and collected.

Because of the Bankai abilities of these two individuals, there wasn't much for Shuichi Higashino to fear.

Ten minutes was the time that Higashino Shuichi had given Tosen Kaname and Kuchiki to work on.

In fact, it didn't take Higashino Shuichi that long to deal with these two people.

Three minutes is enough.

After seeing that even Ukitake Jushiro had been defeated by Higashino Shuichi, Kyoraku Shunsui could no longer remain calm.

He decided to personally take to the field and have a manly showdown with Higashino Shuichi.

Kyoraku Shunsui gave a warning to the other captains to retreat immediately.

Because although his Zanpakuto ability is powerful, it cannot distinguish between friend and foe, and is an area-of-effect attack with a huge range. As long as any Shinigami is within the range of his Zanpakuto ability, they will be forced to undergo several very special games.

However, just as the other remaining captains retreated, Kyoraku Shunsui also received a message from his teacher, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

"Get out!"

These two simple words conveyed to Kyoraku Shunsui the determination of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

Is the Captain-Commander planning to use Bankai?

Kyoraku Shunsui vaguely guessed Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's thoughts.

However, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's Bankai is not something he can open whenever he wants.

Once it activates its Bankai and fights its enemies, the entire Soul Society may have to pay the price for Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's impulsiveness.

Because of the temperature reaching the core of the sun, because of the terrifying power...

It is a burden that the Soul Society cannot bear.

However, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni did not do that.

The Soul Society is not yet completely annihilated by Yhwach's Quincy army as it was in the original storyline.

At that time, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni could indulge himself without any worries.

He can't do it now.

Therefore, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's choice was to punch Higashino Shuichi.

A simple, unadorned punch.

He blasted Higashino Shuichi towards the direction of Seireitei.

"Old man, what are you doing?"

Upon seeing this, Kyoraku Shunsui frowned and questioned Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

They paid such a high price, and so many captains were almost killed by Higashino Shuichi. In the end, did Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, as the captain-in-chief, compromise again?

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni did not answer Kyoraku Shunsui's question, but only gave Kyoraku Shunsui a meaningful look before disappearing from the spot.

"So, the Captain-Commander's Instant Step can be this fast?"
"They're almost as old as Yoruichi."

Soi Fon stood there, somewhat surprised, and said.

Actually, she was just slacking off in the fight just now.

Her current strongest form, Instant Rush: Gale, was not used in the battle just now.

Because her emotions told her that what Higashino Shuichi wanted to do was not wrong.

Those nobles from the Tsunayo family are truly despicable.

"You've got it backwards, Soi Fon. It's not that the Captain-Commander's Shunpo is almost as good as your Yoruichi's; it's that your Yoruichi's Shunpo is almost as good as the Captain-Commander's."

Retsu Unohana stood on the ground, looking towards the Seireitei, and said with a smile.

It was as if everything that was about to happen there had nothing to do with her.

"Don't think that the strongest Shinigami in a thousand years only refers to the Captain-Commander's spiritual pressure and Zanpakuto."
The Captain-Commander's strength is all-encompassing!

Aizen Sousuke of the Fifth Division walked over at the opportune moment and joined the conversation.

Like Retsu Unohana, Aizen didn't seem to have any immediate intention of going after Shuichi Higashino.

This seemed reasonable to others, since while Aizen was strong enough to be a captain, it would be too much to ask him to deal with a superhuman Shinigami like Shuichi Higashino.

After saying this, Aizen turned his gaze toward the Seireitei.

But unlike others, his eyes revealed more of an expectation.

Because he had a rough idea of ​​what Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was thinking.

To deal with someone as exceptionally powerful as Shuichi Higashino, whose spiritual energy is inexhaustible, whose spiritual pressure is near its peak, and who can even become ethereal, an ordinary Shinigami would have absolutely no chance.

Only swastika!

There is only one place in the entire Soul Society where Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni can use Bankai without restraint.

That is the Avici Hell located below the Central Forty-Six Chambers!
"hehe.
Is this... space connectivity technology?

Looking at the gray expanse in front of him, Higashino Shuichi guessed where he was.

He entered Seireitei through the south gate.

This is the direction that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni chose for him, and it is also the entrance that Higashino Shuichi would inevitably choose.

Because there was no need for Shuichi Higashino to go the long way around and take a detour into Seireitei.

Higashino Shuichi is now extremely confident that as long as Aizen, the mysterious Urahara Kisuke, and the members of the Zero Division in the Soul King Palace don't make a move, he can come and go freely throughout the Soul Society.

However, what Higashino Shuichi did not expect was that Mayuri Kurotsuchi of the Twelfth Division had silently developed the space connection technology that was originally secretly researched by Tsuna Yashiro Kanbara.

Previously, Tsunayoshiro Kanbara used this technology to open a secret passage between Soul Society and the Dangai.

"No, that's not right. Perhaps from the very beginning, this technology wasn't developed by Tsunayoshiro Shinbara himself. It was commissioned by Tsunayoshiro Shinbara to be developed by that guy Mayuri Kurotsuchi."

Higashino Shuichi suddenly realized that from the very beginning, Tsunayoshiro Kanbara had actually been cooperating with Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

The data taken from the Twelfth Division, the research on spirit remains...
Mayuri Kurotsuchi even received a return gift from Masato Miyazaki – those armored samurai.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi was able to cooperate with Shuichi Higashino when his identity was unclear and he was a traitor to Soul Society.

Why can't we cooperate with the Tsunayashiro family, which is one of the five great noble families?

Connecting the south gate of Seireitei directly to the entrance of Avici Hell is clearly a feat only Mayuri Kurotsuchi could accomplish.

Higashino Shuichi turned around, intending to leave through the entrance, only to find an old man already standing there.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni!
Back where he was, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the captain of the 12th Division, was somewhat excited.

"Since returning from the mortal world, I've been thinking about the feasibility of this plan~"
But don't worry, Shuichi-kun, I've asked the Captain-Commander to spare your body.
After all, I still need to do my research.
Cluck cluck cluck!
