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

Chapter 312, Section 310: The Four Sons of the Speedy Guard

His opponent was a member of Yhwach's personal guard, and Higashino Shuichi dared not underestimate him in the slightest.

However, when he arrived before Penida Pakaja, one of the guards whose true form was the left arm of the Spirit King, he realized that he might have been a little too cautious.

The reason why Barragan was able to find ways to scheme against himself in the past was because Barragan knew himself well enough, and Barragan also had a lot of resources accumulated by Aizen.

However, as Higashino Shuichi's strength increases and the limits of his abilities become deeper, even his bedmate, Kabuto Asayako, cannot fathom Higashino Shuichi's true strength.

Not to mention the guards members like Penida Pakaja, who didn't even know that Higashino Shuichi was a Grim Reaper.

Not only that, but Higashino Shuichi also had a thorough understanding of Penida Pakaja and his group's abilities.

The current members of the Royal Guard are far less capable than they were in the original storyline, or when they launched their massive attack on Soul Society decades later.

It's fair to say that Higashino Shuichi had more information than he could possibly have.

Many of the skills they haven't yet mastered can only be temporarily "shelved" by Higashino Shuichi.

"You are not a member of the Sternritter."

Penida Pakaja looked at Higashino Shuichi, who had appeared directly in front of her without any concealment, and said softly.

"Yeah, I didn't say I was~"

Higashino Shuichi shrugged in response.

"Then you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Penida Pakajana's eyes, hidden beneath her hood, suddenly widened.

Because just a second ago, he was an ordinary Quincy in front of him, but the next second, he took off his disguise and revealed his true appearance.

A man with short black hair, a samurai sword at his waist, and sharp eyes.

But none of that matters. The key point is the spiritual pressure emanating from this man, the kind of aura that only a hateful Grim Reaper would possess.

And even as he was speaking, the man had already drawn his Zanpakuto from his waist.

A terrifying wave of spiritual pressure, accompanied by the release of his Zanpakuto, swept outwards in all directions from his body as the center.

"Bankai, unpredictable and beyond human comprehension!"

Higashino Shuichi didn't say anything unnecessary, nor did he intend to continue his disguise.

A quick and decisive battle is all about speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness.

He naturally had to show his full strength.

While he could use the Quincy's abilities, and Higashino Shuichi was confident he could defeat Penida Pakaja using only the Quincy's power, that would be too slow.

Given that he had a faster and better solution, Higashino Shuichi had no reason to choose the other one.

"The God of Death's Swastika?!"

Penida Pakaja was shocked.

He never imagined that, after what happened more than a decade ago, death would still come to them.

Even more unexpectedly, Death himself managed to break into this place without anyone knowing beforehand.

The other party's courage in going it alone is truly commendable.

However, Penida Pakaja was only slightly surprised; fear was not a feeling in his heart.

Because he has absolute confidence in his abilities.

"Holy Script Ability - C, Forced Execution, Activate!"

Looking at the spiritual pressure wave unleashed when Higashino Shuichi unleashed his Bankai, Penida Pakaja only returned a glance.

Logically, under his divine power, the form and even the nature of everything can be forcibly changed according to his will.

Now, Penida Pakaja gave the imposing aura of pressure to the approaching earth spirit in front of her the order to kneel down.

Normally, after Penida Pakaja is given the command to activate his ability, he only needs to allocate a small amount of spiritual pressure to cover his face.

Therefore, anything that comes into contact with this spiritual particle imbued with the power of its sacred script will be forced to execute the instructions already contained within it.

This time, however, Penida Pakajana, whose brain was nowhere to be found, couldn't figure it out no matter what she did.

Even if Yhwach himself came, he couldn't avoid the power of the rules, so why did it fail?!
When Shuichi Higashino unleashed his Bankai, the shockwave he generated swept him from the ground into the air as if he were in an empty place.

The chilling spiritual pressure scraped against Penida Pakaja's body layer by layer, taking away not only countless drops of blood but also the clothes wrapped around him.

Her clothes were torn away, revealing Penida Pakaja's true face.

What was inside wasn't human at all, but a gigantic arm.

If an ordinary person were to see Penida Pakaja in her true form for the first time, they would probably be stunned for a while.

But Higashino Hideichi knew all along that he had only one way to deal with a Penida Pakaja like this.

There was only one way to kill him.

The distance of nearly 100 meters was covered in the blink of an eye.

"This is impossible. My power..."

As Penida Pakaja watched the Zanpakuto slowly sever his body, the pain he felt was nothing compared to the bewilderment in his heart.

why?
Why did his invincible ability to use holy script completely fail in front of this mysterious Grim Reaper?!
"Nothing is impossible. You can go back to the Spirit King now, if that's alright!"

Higashino Shuichi had no interest in explaining to Penida Pakaja.

However, Higashino Shuichi didn't actually know the specific reason either.

However, Higashino Shuichi knew that this was the best solution his Zanpakuto had provided after obtaining all the information he knew about Penida Pakaja.

Having learned all the information about Penida Pakaja, with Higashino Shuichi's now fully realized Bankai ability, he could indeed defeat Penida Pakaja with just one strike.

Or rather, if Higashino Shuichi knew all the information about every one of his future enemies, then any enemy would only deserve one strike in front of him.

Because everything else, Higashino Shuichi's Zanpakuto will help him accomplish.

Even at this very moment, Penida Pakaja is still trying to use other sacred script abilities to forcibly pull Higashino Shuichi's Zanpakuto out of his body.

However, all of this was in vain. To Penida Pakaja’s horror, countless spiritual pressures suddenly emerged from the Zanpakuto that was still slicing open his body.

These spiritual pressures were constantly suppressing the sacred script abilities within him.

As a result, Penida Pakaja could only watch helplessly as her body was cleaved in two by Higashino Shuichi's sword.

From the outside, it appeared as if he hadn't put up any resistance, just standing there letting Higashino Shuichi hack him to pieces. But only Penida Pakaja himself knew that he hadn't done nothing; he had made many efforts, all of which had been in vain.

Before this mysterious Grim Reaper, he was like a helpless lamb, utterly powerless.
Penida Pakaja fell down.

His body split in two and fell to either side.

Higashino Shuichi stood before Penida Pakaja's body, remaining silent for a long time.

To be honest, this was an outcome he hadn't expected.

In Higashino Shuichi's original plan, he and Penida Pakaja should at least have a stalemate before a winner was decided, if not a major battle.

Higashino Hideaki glanced at the Zanpakuto in his hand, then at his empty left hand.

He realized that he seemed to have underestimated his achievements in the Spirit King's Palace over the years.

He may have already surpassed the strength of most characters in the original story, coupled with his abnormally powerful Zanpakuto ability and his identity as a transmigrator.

In this world of death, there are probably very few who can still put up a fight against him.

At least, among the Sternritter, these Quincy, who haven't changed much from the original story, are no different from ants in front of Shuichi Higashino.

Am I being a little too cautious?

Standing before Penida Pakaja's body, Higashino Shuichi sighed and spoke softly.

For some reason, this battle left Shuichi Higashino feeling somewhat bored.

The whole process was far too easy and lacked any challenge.

Higashino felt as if he had punched cotton with all his might.

Is it because I am too strong, or are the current members of Yhbach's SS too weak?
Even Higashino Shuichi couldn't explain it; there was absolutely no reference for this kind of thing.

However, Higashino Shuichi felt that he could give it another try.

Less than ten minutes later, in another room of the Ice Palace, another member of Yhwach's personal guard, Ridge Barrow, also fell into a pool of blood.

Just moments ago, Jaskin Nakruvar was Lizzie Barrow's opponent, but now he and Lizzie Barrow have fallen together in a pool of blood.

Yaskin Nakruval never imagined that someone who was once a Quincy would suddenly become a Shinigami.
Moreover, this Grim Reaper was incredibly strong. Facing both him and Ridge Barrow, two members of his personal guard, he only needed two strikes—two effortless strikes!

He and Ridge Barrow were knocked to the ground, unable to get up again.

Their Quincy abilities were ineffective against this Shinigami, and even their Holy Script abilities were useless!
It almost made Yaskin Nakruvar think that their Holy Script ability had failed.

"Can I know why?"

Yaskin Nakruvar barely managed to lift his head, looked at Higashino Shuichi in front of him, and asked weakly.

Not wanting to die an unclear and unexplained death is probably the greatest wish of every dying person before they pass away.

Unfortunately, Higashino Shuichi's cold-bloodedness prevented him from giving Yaskin Nakruvar any answer.

All that Yaskin Nakruvar could see was Higashino Shuichi's departing figure and the enormous Holy Annihilation Arrow falling from the sky.

Hehe. Hahahaha
What a Grim Reaper! What a Quincy!

"Wouldn't it be a great honor to be able to follow you?"

Jaskin Nakruvar laughed bitterly.

Upon hearing this, Higashino Shuichi suddenly stopped in his tracks, and the Sacred Arrow in the air also temporarily halted its descent.

Yaskin Nakruvar thought that Higashino Shuichi had changed his mind, and a last glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.

But Higashino didn't turn around at all, only saying something meaningful.
"Actually, Ashkin, you also had a chance, because my name is Higashino Shuichi."

Yaskin Nakruvar's eyes widened.

He didn't know why Higashino Shuichi would say such a thing. Could it be that...?

"You're actually Higashino Shuichi?! No! How did you know?!"

At that moment, Jaskin felt a different kind of fear.

You see, this is a secret, a secret that Yaskin thought he would take to his grave.

That is, he was originally a commoner living in Rukongai in the Soul Society, but due to an accident, he was drawn into this Wandenreich.

Under normal circumstances, he should be here, killed casually by these Quincy like an animal, or starved to death.

But he was chosen by Yhwach, who had just awakened, and drank the latter's blood, thus completely shedding his original identity and becoming a member of the Sternritter.

And he was fortunate enough to become a member of the Royal Guard.

This should be a secret, it definitely is a secret, but now, it has been revealed by Higashino Hideaki.

What's even more terrifying is that he is Higashino Shuichi!

That Shuichi Higashino who should be serving his sentence in the deepest hell right now!!!

At that moment, Yaskin Nakruvar also thought of another possibility: that all of this was a conspiracy by Soul Society!

What do you mean by imprisoning Higashino Shuichi in the deepest hell? What do you mean by Higashino Shuichi rebelling?

All of this was just a smokescreen set up by Soul Society for their Wandenreich!

Those Shinigami (death gods) learned that they had been secretly monitoring everything in the Soul Society.

That's why Higashino Shuichi came up with this way to escape!
Yes, that must be it!
Yaskin Nakruvar felt he had seen through everything!
This is a grand scheme that the Soul Society has been planning for over a hundred years against their Wandenreich.

The betrayal of Shuichi Higashino, and even the recent betrayal of Aizen, could all be attempts by Soul Society to repeat their old tricks, allowing Aizen to slip out of their sight like Higashino, and secretly infiltrate the Empire to reunite with Higashino!

"It's Mengyin"

Yaskin Nakruvar suddenly remembered the Quincy sent by Higashino Shuichi to help him—that person must be Aizen Sousuke!
Now that it's explained, everything makes sense!
Yaskin Nakruvar looked up at the massive Holy Annihilation Arrow hurtling towards him again and laughed.

He knew he was doomed, but Higashino Shuichi made a terrible mistake.

Higashino Shuichi was indeed very cautious, but he shouldn't have done that last thing—pointed out his own mistake.

"Your Majesty is omniscient and omnipotent."

Yaskin Nakruvar closed his eyes and said in his heart.

He faced his death with equanimity.

But at the same time, he firmly believed that Higashino Shuichi, who had deceived him and dared to bring Aizen Sousuke to invade their empire, would soon join him.

It's a pity he won't live to see the day His Majesty destroys the Three Realms.
