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

Kisuke Urahara knew that Shuichi Higashino possessed the ability to divide the world, and he also guessed that Higashino might use such a method to avoid his attack.

However, Kisuke Urahara also confirmed through the previous series of battles that what Shuichi Higashino called "cutting the world" was not a true separation of the world from its original space.

Based on previous performance, no matter how many times Higashino Shuichi used the "world splitting" technique, the place they were in was still within the original shadow world.

Therefore, Kisuke Urahara prefers to view Shuichi Higashino's ability as a barrier.

In other words, Higashino Shuichi simply used special methods to separate individual worlds from the original larger world, thus creating smaller worlds.

But in essence, they still belong to the same deep, invisible empire world.

Therefore, Kisuke Urahara was not worried that Shuichi Higashino could use such a method to dodge his attack.

Even if Higashino Shuichi separated the space he was in from the shadow world he was in, so what?
The power of hell will still strike.

As long as they remain in the same space, the so-called isolated world is nothing more than a self-deceiving tactic.

Kisuke Urahara analyzed it this way, and he was so certain of it.

Until he saw that his attack had missed.

Kisuke Urahara finally began to confront Yhwach again, the one he could no longer see or even perceive.

This is a power completely different from any of the abilities that Yhwach had previously displayed.

"Has the game progressed this far, and they still have such a trump card up their sleeve?"

Kisuke Urahara smiled somewhat helplessly.

This was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.

Where is Higashino Shuichi right now?

He was actually still in the shadow world, but the smaller worlds that he had flipped and divided were no longer there.

This place is as dark and pure as the original shadow world.

The Three Realms Separated!

This is the new ability that Higashino Shuichi learned from the images shared with him by the Soul King's will.

He witnessed the entire process by which the Spirit King, realizing he could not defeat Hell, chose to separate the Three Realms and construct a new cycle.

Therefore, with Higashino Shuichi's ability to use sacred symbols, coupled with his current spiritual pressure, even if Higashino Shuichi cannot achieve what a true Soul King would do, he can still divide the real Soul Society, the Human World, and Hueco Mundo—all of which were products that the Soul King had already divided once—again.

However, Higashino Shuichi can also recreate this process in this shadow world that is merely an artificial creation.

However, this process did not last long. Soon, the new three realms that Higashino Shuichi had temporarily separated were reunited and returned to the original shadow world.

Shuichi Higashino is ultimately not the Soul King. While his current strength is indeed among the best in the entire Bleach world, he is still far inferior to the Soul King at his peak.

Maintaining a stable Three Realms from collapse cannot be achieved solely by relying on the boundless spiritual power from the Spirit King's left leg on Higashino Shuichi's body.

However, this was within Higashino Shuichi's expectations.

After all, if maintaining the Three Realms were that simple, the Spirit King wouldn't have needed to sacrifice himself.

"I never imagined that you would still have such methods hidden even at this point."

Kisuke Urahara looked at the reappearing Shuichi Higashino and said, then changed the subject.
"However, your performance just now also proves one thing: even you cannot resist this unknown power of hell, and can only use such a pathetic method to escape!"

"So what? I can dodge you once, and I can dodge you a second time in the same way. You still can't hurt me!"

Higashino Shuichi responded, and at the same time, the Quincy Cross Blade that had been reconstituted in his hand slashed towards Urahara Kisuke. In addition to the pitch-black sword aura containing countless spiritual particles and like a Cero, countless Sacred Annihilation Arrows were also generated around Urahara Kisuke.

After watching the footage provided by the Soul King, Shuichi Higashino gained a deeper understanding of the Quincy's abilities.

In particular, using the Holy Annihilation Arrow in this way is now completely at his disposal.

However, Urahara Kisuke's next move made Higashino Shuichi a little angry.

As Kisuke Urahara plunged his Zanpakuto upside down into the ground, the eerie gray aura within his body sank into the ground along with the Zanpakuto, creating a sea of ​​wailing throughout the entire space.

Isn't this the Kido, Hell Execution Song, created by Higashino Shuichi and Kuruyashiki Kenpachi together?
Because he had given up the power of hell, Higashino Shuichi had not used this Kido for a long time, but unexpectedly, it was plagiarized by Urahara Kisuke.

What's even more infuriating is that the Hellish Execution Song used by Kisuke Urahara seems to have a wider range and a stronger effect than the version that Shuichi Higashino used before!

It's a case of the pirated version outperforming the original!

"This demonic path is called Hell's Execution Song!"

Kisuke Urahara stood in the middle of the gray sea. Compared to the half-dead state that Shuichi Higashino had when he used it, Kisuke Urahara was now completely in his original form, showing no signs of being corrupted by the power of hell.

"You really can't even be bothered to change your name?"

Higashino Shuichi glanced at Urahara Kisuke and mentally scoffed.

It's really unpleasant to watch someone steal your moves and then use them much better than you.

Higashino Shuichi felt as if he had been slapped hard across the face by Urahara Kisuke right in front of him.

The sacred arrows in the sky were all on the gray sea surface. Before they even got within ten meters of Kisuke Urahara, they were pulled into the gray sea by the gray-white skeletal arms that kept emerging from it.

The sword energy that Higashino Shuichi had previously unleashed was also completely devoured by the gray sea of ​​hell during its flight.

Higashino Shuichi himself was also caught in Urahara Kisuke's Hellish Execution Song.

It could feel the hellish sea below constantly pulling its body downwards, and the grayish-white skeletal arms were also trying to climb up its body, pull it under the sea, and send it to the distant hellish paradise.

"Kisuke."

Yoruichi Shihouin was "lucky" enough to escape the reach of this hellish sea.

But when she saw Kisuke Urahara's appearance at that moment, it was as if she saw the figure of another Grim Reaper in him.

Both of them broke taboos, both became enemies of Soul Society, both experienced injustices, and both ultimately possessed the power to overthrow Soul Society.

"What would you choose?"

Yoruichi Shihouin's gaze lingered on Kisuke Urahara's retreating figure.

She shared similar thoughts with Jushiro Ukitake, who was further away. Even though he had received treatment, his previous injuries were too severe, and his body was already extremely weak.

At this moment, even opening his eyes was extremely difficult for him. Realizing that he might not live much longer, Ukitake Jushiro struggled to support his body. He looked at the body of his friend Kyoraku Shunsui beside him, and grief overwhelmed him.

"What will become of the Soul Society in the future?"

Jushiro Ukitake was confused.

There was a time when he thought his good friend Kyoraku Shunsui was capable of shouldering this responsibility.

But now, Shunsui is dead, and Yamamoto-sensei is old and nearing his end. However, outside Soul Society, there are still formidable enemies like Aizen Sousuke, Urahara Kisuke, and Yhwach.

Who else could turn the tide in such a situation?

Suddenly, a figure appeared in Jushiro Ukitake's mind.

Oh, and him too!

Jushiro Ukitake glanced at the fierce battle ahead and knew that this might be his only chance to send the message back.

He summoned his hell butterflies and left his last words on them.

Besides explaining all his concerns to his teacher, Ukitake Jushiro ultimately steeled himself and pricked his finger, leaving several bloody words on the Hell Butterfly to demonstrate his resolve.

"I implore Shuichi Higashino to return to Soul Society!"

In Ukitake Jushiro's view, there was only one person who could save the entire Soul Society from the brink of collapse at such a time!
On the other hand, let's not talk about Yoruichi Shihouin and Jushiro Ukitake's little tricks.

Higashino Shuichi was unaware that he had risen to such a high position in Ukitake Jushiro's mind.

Now he is facing Kisuke Urahara, who is using the same techniques he once employed against him.

"Why aren't you making a move?"

Kisuke Urahara looked at Shuichi Higashino and asked.

"Because it's futile, aren't you just asking a question you already know the answer to?"

"Higashino Shuichi replied coldly."

Doesn't he understand his own path to becoming a demon?

Back then, he was able to approach Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni with just his ordinary captain-level spiritual pressure, relying on Hell's Execution Song, and even manage to injure Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni. Wasn't that because of the unreasonable nature of the power of hell?

This is still the version improved by Kisuke Urahara, and it's the version that Kisuke Urahara put his full effort into.

Any power of the Spirit King level would be utterly useless against this Hell Sea.

Higashino Shuichi could guess that this was probably Urahara Kisuke's killing move against him.

In a sense, he even suspected that the Soul King's will had secretly shown Kisuke Urahara the same images he had seen.

After all, this is remarkably similar to the scene in ancient times when the Spirit King was helpless against the mysterious power of hell.

"Then it's my turn~"

Kisuke Urahara felt it was a pity that Yhwach had grown so much and become so much smarter during the thousand years he had been asleep.

The arrogant, reckless, and overbearing Yhwach of the past is completely gone from the Yhwach of today.

Even Yhwach, with his superior skills, was powerless against a carefully prepared opponent.

Kisuke Urahara's swordsmanship was not particularly advanced, so he did not try to show off his skills in front of Shuichi Higashino. He simply used a simple, downward slash.

In sync with Kisuke Urahara's movements, the entire Sea of ​​Hell seemed to boil at that moment, with its sharp wails, the skeletal arms that kept rushing towards Shuichi Higashino's body, and the towering waves that swept in from all directions, one after another.

Everything seemed designed to drag Higashino Shuichi into the gray depths of the sea in the next moment.

Higashino Shuichi simply stood still, his eyes fixed on Urahara Kisuke's movements, until the moment he swung his sword down.

Just like the scene that happened before, Higashino Shuichi used the same trick again.

"Holy!"

Almost simultaneously, dozens of holes suddenly appeared in the dark sky above Karakura Town in present-day Tokyo, through which light leaked down.

Higashino Shuichi's purpose in reshaping the Nova Cross Knights was certainly not merely to use them as cannon fodder to be sent to their deaths.

The power bestowed upon these Sternritter members by Hideaki Higashino was the "external support" that Higashino had prepared for himself in advance.

A similar move was actually used by Shuichi Higashino a long time ago when he fought against Shunsui Kyoraku's Shikai in Hueco Mundo.

When internal forces are limited, these external forces under his control can become a powerful point of breakthrough.

However, at that time, Higashino Shuichi relied on the spirit beings created by his own Zanpakuto.

Now, Higashino Shuichi is relying on the Sternritter members, who are granted the power of omniscience and omnipotence he created.

Shuichi Higashino's goal is very clear: Kisuke Urahara!

He wanted to concentrate the power gathered from the outside into a single line, and with lightning speed, break through the defenses of the hellish sea beneath his feet. Before their power was completely devoured by the hellish sea, he wanted to pierce through Kisuke Urahara's body and severely injure the latter.

This was a very good opportunity, and the success rate was extremely high, given that Kisuke Urahara hadn't had time to make any other unnecessary movements after delivering that strike.

This was also proven by Higashino Shuichi when Urahara Kisuke rescued Kyoraku Shunsui.

But the one thing Higashino Shuichi hasn't verified is whether the Sternritter members he left in the mortal world are still alive.
This shouldn't be a question that needs to be verified by Shuichi Higashino, because the original plot has already verified it for him. It's impossible for the Masked Army alone to kill so many Sternritter members gathered together in such a short time.

Even if there are some conflicts among these members.

But now, Higashino Shuichi discovered that his Sainthood had not extracted the power of any Sternritter member, and then looked at Urahara Kisuke's confident expression across the way.

He seemed to understand.

Kisuke Urahara and he are essentially the same kind of people; their battles wouldn't involve any attacks that seem meaningless.

Thinking back to the first slash Urahara Kisuke had delivered to him, which pierced through the shadow world and caused the rain from the real world to fall into it.

Higashino Shuichi was certain that Urahara Kisuke's true purpose in slashing was not to cut himself, but to cut the Sternritter members who were still fighting in the present world.

Kisuke Urahara is eliminating all possible backup plans!

He wanted to die too. (End of Chapter)
