Bleach: The Strongest Kenpachi Starting from Signing In

He shook his head, stepped forward alone, observed the lightning and thunder in the sky, and silently counted in his mind.

Just as a thick bolt of lightning flashed across the dark sky, the blade's gleam caught a glimpse of Kotsubaki Jin'emon out of the corner of his eye.

Shatter, you illusion, you mirage.

Faintly, the sound of a mirror shattering could be heard, but it was perfectly masked by the roar of thunder.

Throughout the entire process, Kotsubaki Jin'emon never noticed anything unusual.

He continued to patrol the corridors diligently, preventing any outlaws from sneaking into the underground council chamber.

Although the underground council chamber is now completely empty.

"Let's go."

Aizen said softly.

Thanks to the power of Kyoka Suigetsu, the two passed through the patrol area without incident. Aizen then broke the binding barrier and they successfully entered the underground council chamber.

The underground council chamber was empty at this time.

The huge room gave off a gloomy feeling.

The two descended, passing through various binding barriers, and finally arrived at their destination.

The Great Spiritual Book Gallery.

Upon entering, one is greeted by a massive and complex database, with countless books and electronic devices arranged in a spiral-like structure from bottom to top.

The content on it is organized by year and category.

You can navigate to the specific section you're looking for via the central control panel.

It's easy to see from this that the technological sophistication of the Great Spirit Book Corridor is not much lower than that of the Twelfth Division.

Aizen's eyes were full of anticipation, and he was well prepared for the journey to find the answer.

Ruyueming, on the other hand, had a dazed expression.

If it weren't for the notification sound that only he could hear, he probably would have already entered a meditative state on the spot.

[Location for check-in: Great Spiritual Book Corridor]

[Gained Spiritual Pressure Level +1, currently at lv90]

[Gained +2 to Free Fighting Level, currently at lv72]

[Obtain exclusive affix: Soul Resonance!]

[Soul Resonance: Only by knowing yourself can you know your enemy. Zanpakuto are also part of your soul. Only by achieving resonance with yourself can you unleash your true power. Zanpakuto compatibility increases by 50%!]

Ruyueming: "?"

My good mood vanished instantly upon hearing about the reward for this exclusive tag.

After his battle with Kuchiki Kyoga, he realized a crucial point: Shinigami can use Zanpakuto, but they must not rely on it.

Like Aizen, who seems invincible.

In reality, once the illusion is destroyed, she can only seek help from her adoptive father.

If he hadn't intervened, Aizen would have lost at least half of his abilities.

Is a Zanpakuto really such an inconvenient thing?

It is useless to eat and it is a pity to throw away.

It's like chicken ribs—useless.

Ru Yueming shook her head and sighed, temporarily putting this matter that was affecting her mood out of her mind.

Just as Aizen was about to go and find the answer to the question, he suddenly noticed something was wrong. He frowned slightly and looked at his best friend beside him, about to speak.

However, Ruyue Ming spoke first: "How did you know my spiritual pressure level had broken through to the third level?"

Aizen: "?"

No, who asked you?

Looking at the ugly face of that person, Aizen forcibly suppressed his soaring blood pressure and decided not to argue with Kisaragi Akira about this.

Otherwise, given his personality, he would probably brag about it all day long.

Even longer.

Leaving behind the smug person, Aizen began to peruse history and search for information in the Great Spirit Book Corridor, looking for the answer to the question in his heart.

Time passes unconsciously.

Aizen also found the information about the Soul Burial Ritual and the truth buried in history in the mountain of data.

The purpose of the soul burial ritual is very simple.

Because third-class spirit particles cannot be decomposed, if they remain in the Soul Society for an extended period, they will disrupt the balance between the three worlds.

As guardians of balance, the Grim Reapers, in order to prevent disasters from occurring, conceived the idea of ​​sending the spirits of the dead to hell.

This is the beginning of the soul burial ritual.

As for King Ling...

This part of the content is very old, and there are no specific records of it.

Aizen searched for a long time before finally obtaining relevant information from fragmented clues.

When he turned to this point, his usually calm and undisturbed state of mind was completely shattered, and he even felt a chill run down his spine.

Thank you to DiamondStar0 for the generous donation!

Chapter 158 Free Cattle and Horses

Countless years ago, there was no concept of the Soul Society or Hueco Mundo existing in the world.

The entire world is in a state of neither life nor death, neither moving forward nor backward.

Spiritual particles constantly circulate, maintaining the stability of the world; even the void is part of this cycle.

But when the Void began to devour humans, the cycle ended.

Moreover, if this continues, all the souls will become a giant void, and the entire world will come to a standstill.

At this moment, the Spirit King was born.

The powerful annihilation force destroyed the void, allowing the spirit particles to begin their cycle again.

However, the five founders of the five noble families at that time, including the Shiba family, did not approve of such a world.

Their motives differed, but their goals were remarkably consistent—

The Three Realms are separated.

To achieve this goal, it is necessary to rely on the power of the Spirit King.

Then, for some reason, the five progenitors used the power of the Spirit King as a wedge to separate this primordial world.

And created the Three Realms as they are now—

Soul Society, the Human World, and Hueco Mundo.

In order to secure this hard-won stability, the five progenitors sealed the Spirit King into a "contradictory spiral where one lives and dies simultaneously."

And they dismembered his body, dividing it into countless pieces and scattering them to every corner of the Three Realms.

The Spirit King's right arm is one of them!

Despite the fragmented information, Aizen was still able to deduce the general outline of the matter from it. While shocked, he also became curious about the Soul King's purpose.

If it really is as shown in the information.

Isn't the Spirit King an omniscient and omnipotent being?

So why was he willing to sacrifice himself, allowing the five noble ancestors to torture him in every way, even dismembering his body into countless pieces?

What is its purpose?

Once the old problems are solved, new ones will soon emerge.

An endless curiosity grew in Aizen's heart, and he longed to uncover the truth of the matter step by step through his own efforts.

However, the records in the Great Spiritual Gallery alone do not seem sufficient to meet this need.

Much of the information had been destroyed by the Tsunayo family, who controlled the area, and all that was available now were a few fragments.

Perhaps we could try searching at Tsunayoshiro's mansion.

When this thought popped into his head, Aizen almost couldn't suppress the impulse in his heart and immediately left the Great Spirit Book Corridor to go to Tsunayoshiro's mansion.

He only managed to suppress the impulse when he noticed someone's silly chuckle.

After organizing all the clues and information he had found, Aizen quietly approached Akira.

To his surprise, the guy was actually reading a book.

And they seemed to be really enjoying it!

Filled with curiosity, Aizen looked up and saw the text above:

"Yamamoto Shigekuni encountered a colossal white Hollow in Rukongai and engaged in battle with it."

The following section contains a detailed description of the battle.

Aizen was somewhat surprised; it was hard to imagine that there was a Hollow in Hueco Mundo capable of unilaterally defeating Captain-Commander Yamamoto Shigekuni.

Moreover, judging from its physical appearance, it does not seem to have reached the pinnacle of Hollow evolution, Vastod.

"Sousuke, how about we extract this passage, organize it, and submit it to the Seireitei Newsletter?"

As Yueming closed the book with satisfaction, he made a suggestion to the person next to him.

Upon hearing this, Aizen quietly moved away from him.
