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

The attack launched by Saint Bie failed, and his own power was also greatly limited in the hellish environment created by Hellish Execution Song.

Higashino Shuichi was able to put up some resistance, but in Urahara Kisuke's view, compared to the endless hellish power around them, such resistance would be futile.

Higashino Shuichi had lost all means of winning, and the scales of victory had ultimately tipped in Urahara Kisuke's favor.

Watching the gray seawater engulf Higashino Shuichi, and seeing the gray-white skeletal arms cover him.

It seems that everything is already settled.

No one could survive such an attack!

After suffering such an attack, there can only be one outcome: being sent to hell.

"it's over"

At this point, for some reason, Kisuke Urahara felt no joy at victory, but rather a faint sadness.

This may be due to certain existing ideas that influenced him.

The power of Soul Society, the Human World, and Hueco Mundo is utterly insignificant compared to the power of this hellish realm.

Is this the result he wanted?

So, as someone who also exists within these three realms, is it really possible for him to eliminate the hidden dangers of hell in the future?

Kisuke Urahara is also a little uncertain now.

But it's really just a matter of taking it one step at a time.

However, just as he was preparing to pack up and leave, a slash came from beneath the surface of the gray hellish sea, splitting half of the sea with the force of parting waves, and rushed towards his back.

Blood suddenly appeared.

In situations like these, the advantages of skill points in combat become apparent.

Kisuke Urahara's brain did react immediately, but his body couldn't keep up.

If it were someone like Shuichi Higashino, Sosuke Aizen, or even Kenpachi Zaraki, their bodies would act before their consciousness.

Therefore, Kisuke Urahara's right arm, which was holding the sword, was cut off and fell into the hellish sea below.

"How is this possible? This is absolutely impossible!"

This may be the first time in Kisuke Urahara's life that he has raised such doubts and questions.

Especially now that he believes he has spent decades thoroughly researching the components of that hellish power.

Such a thing, which defies his common sense, is absolutely impossible and should not happen!

However, Higashino Shuichi did indeed stand unharmed in the Sea of ​​Hell.

No, it can't really be said to be completely unharmed. In fact, Higashino Shuichi's current condition isn't much better than Urahara Kisuke's.

Staying in this hellish sea was a continuous torment for him, not only mentally but also physically.

His fabricated omniscient and omnipotent power of Yhwach has weakened to the point that it can only maintain a passable appearance on the surface.

But he still stood there, not falling as Urahara Kisuke had expected, nor being dragged into the abyss of true hell by this strange hellish power.

"How did you do that?"

Kisuke Urahara looked down at Shuichi Higashino, wanting to ask the question in his heart.

But he held back, because the other party would never tell him the answer. Asking the question would only lead to humiliation.

And it was indeed impossible for Higashino Shuichi to tell Urahara Kisuke the answer.

This all goes back to a conversation between Shuichi Higashino and Aizen.

"So, Lord Aizen, what do you think Hell is, and how should we deal with its power?"

Standing opposite Aizen, Higashino Shuichi cautiously inquired.

At this time, Higashino Shuichi was still wearing the uniform of the vice-captain of the 11th Division. He was not yet the future Great Sword Hunter, nor the Higashino Shuichi who slaughtered the entire Tsunayashiro family.

At this moment, Higashino Shuichi was indeed asking Aizen about the question that had been troubling him, with a sense of awe.

At this time, Higashino Shuichi had just obtained the power of hell from hell. In his battle with Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, he witnessed the power of hell and felt its madness.

But Higashino Shuichi is well aware that this world is full of injustice, but also full of fairness, and any extraordinary power comes at a price.

Higashino Shuichi wanted to get Aizen's opinion from him.

He felt that Aizen, with his wisdom and vision, might be able to understand what he couldn't.

Aizen certainly saw things very clearly.

"I once saw in the Great Spirit Book Corridor that the current Soul Society, the Human World, and Hueco Mundo were all created by the Soul King, but this does not include Hell, which you are going to this time."

That was a power beyond the Spirit King's; even the Spirit King himself couldn't conquer that place.

This is enough to demonstrate the immense power of hell!

Aizen first praised the power of Hell.

Higashino Shuichi listened silently. He knew that in these situations, a "but" would usually follow, and sure enough...
"However, on the other hand, this also shows that Hell itself has a certain mechanism that prevents it from actively interfering with the world outside of Hell."

Otherwise, if even a Spirit King at his peak couldn't handle it, this world should operate entirely according to its own rules.

"So the rule should be..."

Higashino Shuichi lowered his head and began to think as well.

However, Aizen still gave his answer.
"The rules are what it is doing now, and what it has always been doing!"

"Absorb the souls of all the powerful beings in the Soul Society, the Human World, and Hueco Mundo?"

Higashino Shuichi answered immediately.

Because the only known core function of Hell is actually this one.

Aizen nodded and said,
"This is both the power and the limitation of hell."

Perhaps, this is all it can do.

Higashino Shuichi frowned, revealing a hint of his confusion.

Aizen saw it, but understood his subordinate's thoughts, and replied with a smile.
"The reason you have doubts is because you have been influenced by the Spirit King's creation of the Three Realms, and thus you stubbornly believe that the Hell, which even the Spirit King cannot do anything about and has repeatedly suffered setbacks, also has its own consciousness, or even a creator."

But is it possible that it's just an inanimate object that only acts according to predetermined rules?

Higashino Shuichi suddenly understood, but he still had a question in his mind: this was different from the plot he had read in the original work.

In the original work, Hell's behavior, which only revealed a small part of the story, is not like the inanimate object that Aizen described, which is completely devoid of self-awareness.

“But…” Just as Higashino Shuichi was about to raise his question, Aizen, who seemed to have anticipated his question, immediately offered an explanation that Higashino Shuichi could not refute.

"This is actually quite easy to verify. In fact, that's not quite right, because a family has already spent thousands of years, countless efforts, and the lives of countless generations of death gods to give us the answer."

"Lord Aizen, are you referring to the Kabuto family, one of the five great noble families?"

Higashino Shuichi could guess which family Aizen was referring to, since there was only one family in the entire Soul Society that researched Hell.

“Yes~” Aizen put his hands behind his back and looked at the calligraphy he had written on the wall. “Shuichi, have you ever thought about how you were able to go to Hell, a place that even the Soul King could refuse, with just the Shikai of a Zanpakuto?”
How could one, through a simple divine rune, draw the power of hell from hell into the Soul Society?

Higashino Shuichi was stunned; he seemed to have never thought of such a question before.

In his subconscious, in this world of Bleach, Zanpakuto have a wide variety of abilities, and being able to send him to hell is not exactly anything special.

But Higashino Shuichi has always overlooked one point: the place he was sent to was hell, not Hueco Mundo, nor the real world.

This is a blind spot in his thinking as a transmigrator, but not in the thinking of a native like Aizen.

"Then, Lord Aizen, do you know the answer?"

Higashino Shuichi remained silent for a moment before looking up at Aizen's retreating figure and asking a question.

Aizen, being completely open and honest with his outstanding subordinate, answered without reservation.

It's a lie!

The purpose of the divine runes is to deceive Hell, making it believe that the one in Hell who has been given the divine runes is using its power.

The Shikai of the Kabuto family's sacred weapon, Seimei-basa, is to deceive Hell, making it believe that you originally belonged to Hell.

Therefore, only by possessing the Worldly Samadhi can you go to hell; it is your passport, and also your disguise!

At the moment Aizen finished speaking, Higashino Shuichi finally woke up from his dream.

He can't always view the world he lives in through the lens of the original story.

Under his butterfly effect, it is true that everything in the future can be changed, but why can't the already uncertain existence also undergo different changes?
This is his world, and all his inferences and judgments should be based on the events that happen in this world, rather than on the plots he has seen in the original work!
From that moment on, Higashino Shuichi realized the truth.

Let's go back to the present, or rather, a few minutes ago, when Higashino Shuichi saw Urahara Kisuke use the power of hell to unleash that slash that severed the shadow world.

He should have realized at that moment that Kisuke Urahara's intention was not just to injure him, but to plot against the world.

Because simply seeking power makes it completely unnecessary to sever the barrier between the shadow world and the real world.

But at this moment, Higashino Shuichi did something else entirely.

"Holy Script Ability I: Fiction, activate!"

In Higashino Shuichi's mind, the image of a person he had just killed, whose body was still warm, floated into his thoughts.

"Ghostly Path: Time Freeze!"

In this frozen time, Higashino Shuichi is unable to harm anyone, which is the drawback of time freezing.

However, his goal was not to retaliate against Kisuke Urahara, but to go to Soul Society and obtain a weapon from Sayaka Kabuto.

That sacred heirloom of the Kabuto family, belonging to Kabuto Sayaka, is called Shimibosho.

This divine weapon, which was originally meant to be used only by Kabuto Sayaka, was granted to Higashino Shuichi by Kabuto Sayaka long ago.

Higashino Shuichi never forgot the conversation he had with Aizen, and he trusted Aizen's analysis completely.

Therefore, the moment Higashino Shuichi saw Urahara Kisuke use the power of hell, he immediately thought of using Seiya Basa as a means of countermeasure.

Shuichi Higashino guessed correctly.

Over the past few decades, Kisuke Urahara's research into the power of hell has reached an unprecedented level.

This is a level that no death god has ever reached in the past few thousand years.

Even today, Higashino Shuichi has not been spared.

Therefore, after seeing that Kisuke Urahara had also defended against the Seimei, which he had prepared as a trump card, Higashino Shuichi had no more hesitation or worries. Before he was completely devoured by the power of hell, he released Seimei Basha.

In the dark space, only one person sat alone on that solitary chair.

He was wearing the captain's haori of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13.

"Gariyashiki-sama"

Higashino Shuichi emerged from the darkness and approached the man sitting in the chair with his eyes closed, saying something.

Is it you this time?

I thought it would be the same little girl from last time~

Kenpachi Kuruyashiki stood up from the chair.

He knew that this place was the "three treasure halls" in the saying "no one visits without a reason," meaning that anyone who came to him would only have one thing to say.

Higashino Shuichi didn't say much, but as Kuruyashiki Kenpachi passed by, he whispered something.

"please!"

Kenpachi Kuruyashiki was also surprised by Higashino Shuichi's unexpected move; this was unlike the real Higashino Shuichi he had met in Hell.

Perhaps this time it really will be difficult?
But so what?

He is Kenpachi Kuruyashiki!

"Don't worry, young man, I'm not old yet!"

Kenpachi Kuruyashiki patted Shuichi Higashino on the shoulder, then laughed and walked out of the dark space.

At this moment, Kenpachi Kuruyashiki's soul and power merged with Shuichi Higashino himself, and the Zanpakuto in his hand, Seiya Basara, transformed into Kenpachi Kuruyashiki's Zanpakuto, Guraku Eiro.

As all of this was accomplished in an instant, the hellish power surrounding Higashino Shuichi arrived as expected, completely engulfing him and dragging him into the hellish sea below.

However, just as Aizen had analyzed before, these so-called Hell Powers were nothing more than a group of tools that only knew how to work according to a set program.

After they recognized the soul and power of Kenpachi Kuruyashiki, who already belonged to hell, the gray-white skeletal arms that had dragged Shuichi Higashino to hell automatically detached from him.

All that remained was the water of the Hell Sea, which wanted to use the power of hell to re-imprint the mark of hell on Higashino Shuichi's body.

Enveloped by this endless hellish power, Higashino Shuichi's own power was constantly declining.

However, correspondingly, the power that Higashino Shuichi was once familiar with has returned.

That strike, imbued with the power of hell, was the counterattack of Higashino Shuichi, the pioneer, against Urahara Kisuke, the newcomer!

Hellfire Power, I've played with that too! (End of Chapter)
