Bleach: The Strongest Kenpachi Starting from Signing In

Kyoraku Shunsui glanced at the people in the room and suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

Many familiar faces are gone, but many new faces have appeared.

The person who brought about this phenomenon was undoubtedly his junior brother.

With the current Gotei 13, this kid could probably replace the old man with a single call to arms.

Thinking of the scene where a certain guy was the captain, Kyoraku Shunsui felt a strange sense of absurdity welling up in his heart.

If that day ever comes, the art style of Soul Society will likely undergo some kind of uncontrollable and drastic change.

"Team leaders' meeting begins."

As soon as Chojiro Sasaki made his announcement, the meeting room fell silent. Everyone kept their eyes down, waiting for Yamamoto to speak.

Boom!

A dull thud resounded, its deep sound echoing in the empty space:

"The purpose of this meeting is to announce something important to you all."

Yamamoto opened his eyes, his imposing gaze sweeping over the surroundings, moving over everyone present.

Everyone else had their eyes downcast, their expressions serious and earnest.

Only that wicked disciple remained cheerful, which infuriated everyone.

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Yamamoto would have already drawn his sword.

"Does anyone still remember the original reason why the Gotei 13 was established?"

Without waiting for a reply, Yamamoto continued:

"At that time, Yhwach, the Quincy King, led the Empire of Light to wage war against Soul Society for his own selfish reasons."

"That war resulted in the loss of most of the original Gotei 13, and even the first two captains were left."

"In your minds, Yhwach has already been killed by me, and the Quincy are reduced to only a few remaining in the world."

"But this is just a deception that has fooled us."

"Yhwach did not die, and the defeated Quincy fled to a shadowy place unknown to anyone."

As Yamamoto recounted the story, many people wore expressions of astonishment and shock.

However, some people who knew the inside story remained calm, such as Yoruichi Shihouin, Retsu Unohana, and Shunsui Kyoraku.

"Now, after a thousand years of recuperation, Yhwach has awakened from his slumber and will soon launch a new war!"

Seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, Yamamoto's voice suddenly rose several octaves, trying to make the captains realize the seriousness of the problem.

"By chance, Captain Kisaragi discovered the existence of the Quincy."

Yamamoto began fabricating lies to create a noble image for Akira Kisaragi as someone who cared about the Soul Society and the Gotei 13.

In the future, this wicked disciple will inherit his position as captain. Appropriate publicity will make the disciple's succession seem more natural.

"After discussing it with him, in order not to cause panic, we decided to keep this matter a secret for the time being."

"But we weren't completely unprepared."

At Yamamoto's prompting, Chojiro Sasakibe stepped forward and began to explain his plan.

At first, everyone was a little shocked, but when they saw Ru Yueming looking calm and composed in the crowd, they all felt relieved.

If Captain Kisaragi isn't panicking, why should we?

With Captain Ruyue leading the team, are the Gotei 13 really inferior to that damned Empire of Light?

The plan was simple and crude, lacking any technical sophistication whatsoever.

In short, he was to await orders, then lead his Shinigami to storm the Seireitei and wipe out the Quincy.

The only thing to be careful about is to focus on defeating them.

As for the specific reasons, it's not convenient to disclose them at the moment; we'll find out in due time.

"And one more thing."

After Chojiro Sasaki finished speaking, Yamamoto lowered his eyelids slightly and spoke again:

"I will abdicate after this war ends."

"At that time, the position of Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13 will be held by Akira Kisaragi, the captain of the 11th Division."

These words caused an uproar in the conference room.

More than a dozen eyes turned to the person in the corner.

Ruyue Ming, who was dozing off, was suddenly jolted awake from a nightmare, gasping for breath and letting out an embarrassing groan:

"Teacher, how could this happen? How could this happen!"

Initially, he wanted to become the Captain-Commander, but after observing for a while, he was shocked to find that the Captain-Commander's job was dozens or even hundreds of times more demanding than that of the Eleventh Division.

Just seeing those mountains of documents every day gives one an indescribable feeling of suffocation.

No wonder the old man in the mountain became bald at a young age, and now that he's old, he doesn't have a single hair left.

The pressure involved is unimaginable.

Yamamoto remained calm and said without changing his expression:

"I have already discussed this with the new 46th Room, and they unanimously approved and strongly support it."

"They should already be drafting the relevant documents by now."

Upon hearing this, Ru Yueming slumped into a chair, as if she had burned out and turned into snow-white ash.

My future is already bleak!

Yamamoto glared at him irritably, then announced the end of the meeting.

Watching Ruyue Ming's staggering figure, Yamamoto shook his head and kept his thoughts to himself.

Even at an incredibly heavy cost, we must kill Yhwach completely on this battlefield.

Young man, this is the last thing I can do for you...

…………

The Invisible Empire, the First Spire, inside the Palace.

After two years of absorption, as the last ray of azure light entered the body on the throne, Yhwach slowly opened his eyes, a flash of blood-red light disappearing in an instant.

A magnificent pillar of light shot into the sky, instantly illuminating the entire invisible empire.

It was as if they were celebrating the king's arrival.

However, upon witnessing this scene, the Sternritter, numerous Holy Soldiers, and even the lower-ranking Quincy did not show any joy.

Not long ago, Hasward had explained the relevant matters to them.

His Majesty Yhwach is reclaiming his power, and when he is fully restored, it will be time for us to wage war against Soul Society.

Now, the all-encompassing pillar of light signifies that he has regained all his power.

Yhwach, the Quincy King, has returned to his peak, even stronger than he was a thousand years ago.

But what will become of our Lord Hashirama Senju?

Yhwach has two eyes and one mouth, so how is Hashirama Senju any worse than him?

If Yhwach can be the Emperor of this invisible empire, why can't Lord Hashirama Senju be one?

The Quincy showed no sign of celebration, but stared coldly at the pillar of light shooting into the sky, as if the person in the pillar was not their emperor, but their enemy.

As soon as the pillar of light faded, Haschward entered the palace, knelt on one knee, and respectfully said:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on completing the rites of sanctification and regaining your power."

Yhwach nodded, quietly feeling the power surging within his body.

Compared to a thousand years ago, it is several times stronger.

The Quincy hybrids were even more powerful than he had anticipated, and the deaths of the Sternritter members had caused their power to return.

He is now almost able to regain his omniscience and omnipotence, which was sealed away by Hyosube Ichibei using inferior methods.

"Let's prepare to convene the Imperial Conference."

Yhwach released his right hand, withdrawing the heavy, suppressed power back into his body, and stared at Hasward below with an emotionless gaze.

"It's time to wage war against Soul Society."

"Your Majesty, I will obey your command!"

Soon, the Quincy gathered in the central square of Silverframe City, their excellent training allowing them to form neat and uniform square formations.

The members of the Sternritter stood at the very front of the formation.

Yhwach appeared on the high platform, calmly looking down at the Quincy formation below, and the Knights of the Order at the very front.

His gaze lingered on the guy who was standing tall and proud.

A relieved smile appeared on Yhwach's dignified face.

Although the Sternritter lost many members during his slumber.

Fortunately, Hashirama Senju was there, which not only filled the vacant seats but also raised the Empire's overall combat power several levels.

With such a great general, Soul Society is within our grasp!

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Yhwach channeled his spiritual pressure into his throat, and his voice resounded throughout the entire empire, echoing in everyone's ears:

"Gentlemen, the war has begun!"

Chapter 285 That's Life

"Lord Hashirama, are you truly willing to submit to Yhwach?"

Gatis looked at the young man lying on her lap eating grapes with a resentful expression, and said with a hint of disappointment:

“We will rebel against Yhwach as soon as you give the order.”
