Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"Hmm! He really is a fake monk!"

Wang Yue looked at the 'real name' monk behind her who was full of lies and muttered to herself.

I recommend applying for World Heritage status!

Chapter 54 Araki: It's decided! The next Captain-Commander-in-Chief, Aizen, you...

People say that monks don't lie...

Hyonshube Ichibei calls himself a "monk," and the title bestowed upon him by King Rei is also "monk." However, he is full of lies. According to Hyonshube Ichibei, he cultivates his mind and nature, and does everything as he pleases, so he is not lying.

"gone."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue nodded to the monk.

"call……"

"That 'plague god' is finally gone! If he had stayed in the Zero Division, I would have been in real trouble! I would probably have had to stay in the Spirit King's palace to serve His Majesty the Spirit King for the rest of my life."

As he spoke, the monk wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"You knew Araki would return to Soul Society, didn't you?"

Wang Yue asked the monk.

“Of course…” The monk remained noncommittal, but added, “In fact, Araki himself had long anticipated the price he would pay.”

"What exactly are you planning?!"

Wang Yue was truly confused at this moment.

“There’s no plan…” The monk shook his head first, then explained, “Wang Yue, didn’t I say before? Yhwach will come back sooner or later, and we need to be fully prepared. Araki is the preparation we’re pushing out! As for how Araki will deal with Yhwach’s inevitable return, even I can’t predict it.”

"Forget it! I'm just a 'blacksmith,' I don't understand what you people are thinking..."

Wang Yue didn't want to think about the scheming between the monk and Araki anymore; he was just a 'blacksmith' and couldn't handle such conspiracies.

"Speaking of which, now that Araki's body has completely transformed into 'King Key,' shouldn't his detached palace also be created?!"

Then, Wang Yue seemed to have thought of something and asked the monk.

"Hasn't Araki's detached palace already been built? Wang Yue, take a good look around you!"

Upon hearing this, the monk's eyes gradually turned serious, and he began to speak to Wang Yue.

"When...when was this built?!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue turned his head and saw that, without him noticing, the two separate palaces on the outer path of the Spirit King Palace had become three! The third palace naturally belonged to Huang Mu. The palace was entirely made of glass, and Wang Yue couldn't see what was on it, only streaks of light.

"This thing was created the instant the Araki underwent its metamorphosis!"

The monk gazed at the detached palace before him, a hint of apprehension in his eyes.

"Araki is still special compared to us! Wang Yue, you should also know that the departure of each member of our 'Zero Squad' is equivalent to the 'heart' of our Zero Squad. As long as the departure is still intact, our heart can continue to beat forever and be resurrected in the world indefinitely!"

"But Araki's detached palace is not just that. The detached palace and Araki are each other's half. As long as Araki doesn't die, the detached palace cannot be destroyed. If the detached palace is not destroyed, Araki will never die! Therefore, separating Araki from the detached palace is the best choice..."

The monk looked at the palace that Araki had built with 'glass' and spoke to Wang Yue beside him.

"What? This is truly...surprising."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue broke out in a cold sweat, clearly shocked by the power of Araki's 'Retire Palace'.

"So, just how much change will Araki bring to the Three Realms next? Let's wait and see!"

The monk turned around and strode away.

"Where are you going, Hyosube?"

Wang Yue looked at the departing Bingzhubu and asked in confusion.

After all, the one who should really leave is Nimaiya Oetsu, since this is the detached palace of the Hyonshubu.

"Didn't I already promise that brat Araki that I would 'serve' Lord Spirit King?!"

"We should at least pretend to stay in the Spirit King's palace for a few days..."

The monk said this with a carefree air and left.

"Really..."

Wang Yue watched the monk's departing figure, unsure of what to say.

"Sigh! Whatever! Whatever!"

He first looked at the monk, then at the descending Heavenly Pillar Carriage, and finally Wang Yue sighed and walked towards his palace.

Meanwhile, inside the Heavenly Pillar Carriage, the exclusive vehicle of the 'Zero Squad'.

Araki opened his quest system.

[Urgent Mission: Collect the 'Spirit King Fragments' scattered throughout the Three Realms!]

[Reward: The Power of the 'Spirit King'!]

Main Quest: Collect the scattered fragments of the Spirit King across the Three Realms and complete the incomplete Spirit King within the Spirit King's Imperial Palace.

【award:? ? ? 】

Araki currently has three main quests.

The first main quest is from the perspective of the Gotei 13. The quest requires Araki to take up a position in the Gotei 13. Currently, Araki is in a semi-completed state. He already has a position in the Gotei 13. After taking up a position in the Gotei 13, Araki will naturally face the choice of killing 'Yhwach!' or being killed by Yhwach.

The second main quest is from the perspective of Yhwach and the Quincy loyal to him. The quest requires eliminating all the traitors in Soul Society who betrayed the Soul King, and then storming the Soul King's palace to 'destroy' and 'absorb' the Soul King, who was sealed in a crystal and made into a 'Wedge' to stabilize the three worlds, so that the three worlds can return to the undivided state and create a world without 'life' or 'death'!

The third main quest is to retrieve all the fragments of the Spirit King that were lost in the Three Realms, as instructed by Ichibei Hyosube, and to use Araki's abilities to restore the Spirit King's missing body parts, including his internal organs and limbs.

In Araki's view, the common point of these three missions is that they will all bring peace to the world, including the second main mission, the one to help Yhwach, which will also bring peace to the world. As long as all the enemies are wiped out, the world will naturally be at peace.

From Araki's perspective, the first of the three main quests is the most reliable. Basically, he just needs to carefully follow the original story. The final result will be nothing more than Yhwach being defeated and replacing the Soul King as the new 'Wedge' that maintains the three realms... Of course, it is also possible that Araki will fail and end up being made into the 'Wedge' of the three realms by the monk. After all, Araki now has the potential to replace the Soul King.

The second one is the worst. Once Yhwach has completely unified the three realms, Araki will probably have become the 'cornerstone' of peace. This is something Araki absolutely cannot choose.

What Araki was most unsure about was the third point. The reason the Spirit King had become like this was because the progenitors of the five noble families feared the Spirit King's power and were afraid that the Spirit King would be resurrected through their own power. If Araki really helped the Spirit King to restore all his lost internal organs and limbs, the Spirit King might actually have the possibility of being resurrected. Araki couldn't imagine what kind of changes that would bring to the world...

In conclusion, Araki doesn't want to choose any of these main quests!

Yes, including the first main quest, Araki didn't want to choose any of them...

In the first main quest, even though Araki eventually defeated Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and took over the position of Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13 from Yamamoto, the Seireitei he was protecting was nothing more than garbage corrupted by a group of incompetent nobles. Just how disgusting were those trashy Central 46 members? Araki would feel nauseous just by looking at them.

Araki could replace Genryusai in protecting Seireitei, but he didn't want to protect the Seireitei controlled by the 'Central Forty-Six Chambers' and the 'Great Nobles'. If he were to protect it, it would be his Seireitei.

Moreover, Araki now possesses the power of the "King's Key," equivalent to that of a member of the "Zero Squad." If Yhwach were to make a comeback, Araki wouldn't be able to escape even if he wanted to. Yhwach, wanting to go to the "Soul King's Palace," would definitely try to take advantage of his body. Simply put, all these villains are lusting after Araki's "body."

In conclusion, Araki gradually formed an idea: "How about letting Aizen Sousuke be the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13?!"

Whether it's wiping out those incompetent nobles in the Soul Society or taking down Yhwach, it's all too troublesome for Araki, and he's too lazy to devise such plans! However, in the vast Soul Society, he's not the only one with such ideas. For example, a certain hair gel-wielding guy who likes to stand in the sky has some ideas that 'match' Araki's.

In that case, Araki only needs to control Aizen, and use Aizen, this incredibly sharp blade, to kill off the resistance forces!

after many years……

When Aizen Sousuke confidently used the Kyo Suigetsu sword to outmaneuver the Gotei 13, and even obtained half of Urahara Kisuke's Hogyoku from him, preparing to use the Hollow's Anti-Membrane Silk to completely defect from Soul Society...

Araki, the current Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, known as the 'strongest Shinigami in the history of Soul Society,' patted him on the shoulder and said, 'Sousuke, if you think about it carefully, I've been guarding Seireitei for a thousand years! Now I'm getting old and I feel that I'm not up to the task anymore! I'm handing over the new Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13 to you! It's good that young people have ideas. Don't have any worries about what you want to do, just do it boldly!'

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Aizen truly wavered. His pupils trembled violently as he wondered, "Could I have been poisoned by my own Mirror Moon? Or was I just hallucinating? Is this something Captain-Commander Araki would say to me?!"

"However, for me now that I have obtained the 'Hogyoku,' the position of Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13 is no longer of much significance!"

After a brief moment of hesitation, Aizen, holding the Hogyoku in his hand, felt confident enough.

Araki looked at Aizen and laughed, "Sousuke, when did you get the misconception that your Zanpakuto is 'Kyosuigetsu'?! Or do you think you can defeat me with the half of the Hogyoku you got from Urahara and the group of weak, infant-like 'evil spirits' you've raised in Hueco Mundo all these years?!"

Aizen: "Huh?!"

These two chapters are just a bit of setup, and also to set the stage for the main plot: Yhwach must be made into a 'Wedge'! A Yhwach who isn't a 'Wedge' isn't a true Yhwach! Even the decadent nobles of Seireitei who are just loafing around must die!! I want to see rivers of blood!!! Um, and by the way, please vote for me!

Chapter 55 A proud, hard-of-hearing, love-struck individual is not suited to stay in the Gotei 13.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, Araki, riding the Heavenly Pillar Chariot, pierced straight through the Eleventh Division's barracks.

"what happened?!"

"Enemy attack? Enemy attack!!"

The Eleventh Division members, who rushed over upon hearing the commotion, quickly surrounded the towering pillar and shouted anxiously.

"Click~"

Just as everyone was tense, the gate of the Heavenly Pillar suddenly opened, and Araki's figure stepped out.

"It's Captain!"

"Captain Araki, it's you who's back!"

"Captain Araki, you're finally back! I thought you'd abandoned us. Everyone said you went to the Zero Division to enjoy yourself!"

"Welcome back to the Eleventh Division, Captain..."

When the members of the Eleventh Division saw that the person emerging from the Heavenly Pillar was not an enemy, but their Eleventh Division Captain Araki, they all breathed a sigh of relief. They first sheathed their Zanpakuto at their waists and then excitedly welcomed Araki.

"If it wasn't me who came back, who else could it be? Besides me, I doubt anyone else from the Eleventh Division has come." After Araki stepped out of the Heavenly Pillar Chariot, he first shook off the dust from his clothes, and then continued to speak to the group of members: "Also, 'they' all say that I went to the Zero Division to enjoy myself? Who are these 'they'?"

"Alright, remember this! No matter who told you these things, as members of the Eleventh Division, you should have some self-judgment. Don't just believe everything you hear..." As he said this, Araki thought to himself, "The entire Zero Division only has one 'fake monk' and one guy who's always 'playing with swords,' how can it compare to the Gotei 13?!"

Then, Araki seemed to remember something else and continued to say to everyone, "Oh, right, there's one more thing! Don't forget to send this big pillar behind me to the Shiba family's territory! The current head of the Shiba family should know how to handle this big thing..."

Araki paused slightly at this point, hesitated for a moment, and then explained to his men what the large pillar behind him was: "This thing is called the 'Heavenly Pillar Chariot,' it's the Zero Division's means of transportation. The people in the Zero Division are quite poor, and the entire division only has one 'Heavenly Pillar Chariot.' If I don't return it, they won't be able to get off it."

"Hoo~" After saying so much in one breath, Araki slowly took a breath and then continued to instruct everyone: "Finally, remember to repair the barracks I damaged after you deliver the Heavenly Pillar Carriage to the Shiba family's territory."

"As ordered!"

Upon hearing this, all the members of the Eleventh Division straightened their backs and bowed to Araki.

Ever since news of Araki's duel with Yhwach spread throughout Soul Society, he has earned the respect of all the Shinigami in Seireitei...

In addition, Araki's acts of saving lives for several days have won him the favor of more than half of the Shinigami in the entire Soul Society, and at the same time, he has gained the heartfelt loyalty of the Eleventh Division members.
