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

Chapter 324, Section 322: Are you coming at me all at once, or one at a time?
Why is there such rampant madness without any reason?

Without cause, why has the world turned upside down?

Without any apparent reason, why has Aizen come to this?

Without any apparent cause, why has the situation reversed?

For Kisuke Urahara, the answer to all of this came when he saw Aizen looking at him and asking that question.

"Takuya Kabuto is your man."

Kisuke Urahara looked at Aizen and said.

This is neither a question nor a rhetorical question, but a declarative sentence.

Kisuke Urahara didn't need Aizen's answer, nor did he expect Aizen to tell him the truth.

Even if Aizen had actually said it, he might not have believed it.

Kisuke Urahara only believed in himself and was certain that his predictions were correct.

Once upon a time, Kisuke Urahara thought that Aizen was only after the Hogyoku in his hand.

Therefore, Kisuke Urahara did not have much of a psychological burden regarding personally "giving" the Hogyoku to Aizen as a pawn.

However, it seems he was wrong. Aizen's interest in him personally is probably no less than his interest in the Hogyoku.

As for Yhwach, the Quincy King, Kisuke Urahara didn't know what kind of deal Aizen had made with him.

That's not important. What's important is that Aizen and Yhwach made a deal.

These two people, one the current ruler of Hueco Mundo and the other the former King of the Quincy, have joined forces to deal with him, a mere "traitor" from Soul Society.

Kisuke Urahara almost laughed. What did he do to deserve such attention from these two guys?
But upon closer reflection, that's not quite right, because it belittles himself. He believes he truly deserves the attention these two people give him.

But certainly not in this form.

Looking back now, Kisuke Urahara only feels that he was the one who was trying to hunt geese but ended up being pecked by them.

He thought he had caught Yhwach's mistake of being arrogant and going too far into enemy territory.

Little did they know that all of this was part of Yhwach and Aizen's scheme.

The World of Shadows, a special world originally created by Yhwach.

Kisuke Urahara immediately tried to communicate with his device after Aizen appeared, hoping to escape from the Shadow World.

The result did not surprise Kisuke Urahara at all; the answer was no.

Come to think of it, Yhwach and Aizen went to such great lengths and put on such a show just to get me to willingly walk into this trap. How could they not seal the trap the moment I walked in?

Kisuke Urahara smiled wryly as he glanced at the other small items he had prepared specifically for Yhwach.

They were started one by one, almost as if they were lucky.

"It's no use. From the moment that Quincy named Kabuto Takuya entered my empire, his every move has been under my surveillance."

Do you really think I would keep the information he sent back to you intact?
My empire, this world, is no longer what you first saw!

Higashino Shuichi looked at Urahara Kisuke, who was still stubbornly fiddling with the object in his hand among the group of Grim Reapers, and said calmly.

As they were talking, Higashino Shuichi tentatively projected a giant holy bow above Urahara Kisuke, and then unleashed a super-large holy arrow of destruction that fell from the sky.

Why, when they already know each other pretty well, is it described as a trial rather than the all-out effort that Higashino Shuichi usually prefers?

The main reason lies with Aizen.

As expected, the reinforcements that Higashino Shuichi had brought in as a precaution also made their move the instant Higashino Shuichi attacked Urahara Kisuke.

However, Aizen's target was not Kisuke Urahara, but the super-large Sacred Arrow released by Shuichi Higashino.

Aizen made no attempt to conceal his actions; he simply raised his hand and made a horizontal slash with decisiveness and openness.

Aizen, whose Zanpakuto had been destroyed long ago out of jealousy at the Hogyoku, now had no Zanpakuto, but with a casual wave of his hand, the power was greater than that of a Zanpakuto.

The pitch-black spiritual pressure swept across the air, without any terrifying power or turbulent waves, just extreme speed and cutting force.

It seemed that nothing in the entire world could withstand that pitch-black spiritual pressure for even a moment.

The Great Holy Bow and the Super-Large Holy Annihilation Arrow projected by Higashino Shuichi were no exception.

This is Aizen, who has now basically merged with the Hogyoku and mastered the evolutionary path of the Hogyoku.

"Is this an internal conflict?"

Below, Kyoraku Shunsui, having just caught his breath in the flipped-over world, looked up at the pitch-black spiritual pressure that even he found terrifying, and frowned as he thought.

However, this thought vanished in an instant.

It wasn't because Kyoraku Shunsui, like Urahara Kisuke, could see through the essence of the situation at a glance amidst the chaos.

It was because Aizen stared coldly at Urahara Kisuke and said...

"he's mine!"

Yes, although Aizen was looking at Kisuke Urahara, anyone with a brain in the room could tell that Aizen was saying those words to Shuichi Higashino, who was impersonating Yhwach.

Unfortunately, among the many Grim Reapers present, there happened to be one who wasn't very bright.

Kenpachi Zaraki, the current captain of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13 in Soul Society!
It's not that he's brainless, it's just that even if he thinks of the point that everyone else would think of, he'll pretend he doesn't know.

Because the opponents are Aizen Sousuke and Yhwach, the former Quincy King!
These two are guys who have survived unscathed from the clutches of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni!
(In Kenpachi Zaraki's eyes, Yhwach's ability to reappear with his entire body intact can be considered another form of unscathed retreat.)
"What do you mean he's mine, and you're his!"

I am Kenpachi Zaraki!

A string of incomprehensible words, followed by a breathtaking leap.

Kenpachi Zaraki launched a counterattack against Sosuke Aizen even faster than Kisuke Urahara.

Without unleashing the Zanpakuto, it was merely a simple charge.

Aizen wouldn't even give Kenpachi Zaraki, a Shinigami captain who still only relies on brute force and combat instincts to fight, a glance.

Higashino Shuichi was naturally not going to be foolish enough to help Aizen out of a predicament; in this situation, he was more annoyed with Aizen than anything else!
As for the Hueco Mundo Espada who seemed to be guarding Aizen, only one of them actually reacted.

"Infinite Reload Cero!"

Koyatai Stark, the undisputed number one Arrancar among both the old and new Espada, proved his loyalty to Aizen through his actions.

In the sky, a deep blue light streaked across the horizon, crashing towards Kenpachi Zaraki like a meteor shower.

Faced with such an unreasonable and numerous Cero, even though Kenpachi Zaraki was determined to fight Aizen, he had to temporarily give up. He was not the Kenpachi Zaraki from the original story who sacrificed Retsu Unohana, completely liberated himself, and mastered the Bankai of his Zanpakuto.

Although he has been taught a lesson by Higashino Shuichi many times, he has never experienced that continuous near-death state, so Kenpachi Zaraki's current strength is much stronger than he was at this point in the original story.

However, its strength is also limited.

At least, they are far from qualified to try and take advantage of Aizen and Higashino Shuichi.

Only Stark might be a suitable opponent for Kenpachi Zaraki at this time.

He still relied on that terrifying combat instinct to dodge and block.

It's hard to say that Kenpachi Zaraki's movements in the air were as graceful as if he were dancing a waltz.

Higashino Shuichi felt that it could barely be considered a stumbling, mad cow dance.

It was still a performance with almost no audience.

Because neither Kenpachi Zaraki nor Stark are the main characters here.

Everyone present knew this.

Shuichi Higashino was among them.

He didn't expect that a world-shaking upheaval would kill one or two of the Grim Reapers present.

That's impossible and unrealistic.

Higashino Shuichi simply wanted to use this world, which he had completely taken control of, to trap Urahara Kisuke and his group of death gods.

As the saying goes, it's easy to get in but hard to get out.

One thing Kisuke Urahara was right about.

From the moment they stepped into this shadow world, the enormous pocket of the shadow world had already been closed by Higashino Hideaki.

When Higashino Shuichi turned the entire world of the Invisible Empire upside down, the opening of this bag was completely welded shut.

Now that Higashino Shuichi understands Aizen's intentions, he will not do something as despicable as stabbing his ally in the back on the battlefield.

Therefore, Higashino Shuichi simply snapped his fingers lightly in the air.

"Now, it's dark, please close your eyes!"

Shuichi Higashino's voice wasn't loud, but it resonated throughout the world.

Of course, in this world now, after the chaos caused by Higashino Shuichi and Aizen, there are hardly any living people left. The only ones left are Urahara Kisuke and his group who just arrived in this shadow world, as well as the Arrancar brought by Aizen.

"Close your eyes when it gets dark?"

What's the meaning? "

The same question arose in the minds of many Shinigami and Arrancar present at almost the same moment.

If Grimmjow's subordinate, Shaun Cuffon, were still alive, he would surely recognize that what Higashino Shuichi did after that snap was exactly what Higashino Shuichi did to him and another of Grimmjow's subordinates, Edorad Lyonys, back in the present world.

It was a sudden darkness, as if the light had been swallowed up by a black hole.

However, this darkness did not permeate the entire space, but rather spread out in a dense, spiderweb-like pattern throughout.

Immediately afterwards, the world seemed to be a thin sheet of paper, torn apart from the outside.

There was no tearing sound, nor any creaking sound.

Silently and without a sound, the entire world, the entire invisible empire, was thus brutally divided into several independent battlefields by Higashino Shuichi.

This is not a special ability; it is simply the rightful control that Shuichi Higashino, as the "King of the Quincy" and the supreme ruler of the entire Wandenreich, has over this world.

In these separate small worlds, Higashino Shuichi fulfilled Aizen's wish, allowing Aizen to be placed in the same separate small world as Urahara Kisuke.

Originally, that place should have been occupied by Higashino Shuichi and Urahara Kisuke.

However, Higashino Shuichi was certain that if he dared to do that now, Aizen would be the first to turn against him and show Higashino Shuichi what the evolution of the Hogyoku was all about.

Higashino Shuichi had no doubt that even if Aizen originally did not have the ability to forcibly break through the world, the Hogyoku could evolve into one for Aizen out of thin air.

After all, the original power of the Hogyoku was similar to an equivalent version of Yhwach's omniscience and omnipotence.

This is one of the reasons why Higashino Shuichi insisted on having the location of the battle according to his wishes.

Only in this way can Higashino Shuichi do his best to eliminate all unexpected factors.

Unfortunately, the current unexpected event comes from Aizen Sousuke, the "trouble" that Higashino Shuichi himself invited.

However, Higashino Shuichi has no regrets. Even if he had to choose again, he would still do the same thing.

After all, a long time ago, Higashino Shuichi had sworn that he would go all out in any battle, no matter how big or small.

He will not allow himself to make the same mistake twice.

It's a good thing that the worse situation I was worried about didn't happen.

Besides
Higashino Shuichi glanced at the other small worlds he had divided up, which were the epic stage where the Hueco Mundo Espada fought against the first captain.

Basically, each of the remaining Espada was assigned a spirit residing in the soul of the first captain.

Of course, some were lucky, such as No. 2 Halibel and No. 3 Nelly El, who were assigned to the same first captain.

However, some were less fortunate, such as Grimmjow, number 6, who was assigned two of the first captains as an Espada.

However, this situation may not necessarily be a bad thing for Shuichi Higashino.

Even for Aizen now, rebuilding a team of Arrancars whose strength is no less than that of the current Espada would require considerable effort.

Higashino could easily deal with those spirits that housed the soul of the first captain.

However, having them help eliminate some Arrancar Espada who obey Aizen in a reasonable way is also a good option.

As for Higashino Shuichi himself?

He looked at the group of familiar faces from Soul Society that he had specifically chosen for his little world.

Long time no see, I miss you so much~
"I won't waste any more words. Do you want to come at me all at once, or one by one?"

Higashino Shuichi looked down at the old acquaintances, the Death God captains, from his elevated position and spoke.
