Death God: Unrivaled in sharpness, the greatest captain of all time!

above.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni frowned and glanced at the scattered captains.

just now.

The Gotei 13 is short-handed and urgently needs new blood.

The team leaders below responded one by one.

"but."

"Besides the position of Captain-Commander, Chiyo Kuchiki even refused the invitation to join the Zero Division."

"This could have negative consequences."

below.

Kyoraku Shunsui, who was always carefree and lazy, had a serious expression on his face for the first time in a long time.

aside.

Kuchiki Byakuya also frowned.

The fact that the Zero Division invited Chiya Kuchiki to join meant that it was the Soul King's order.

Soul Society.

The Spirit King's commands are absolute.

Even the highest nobles could not resist it; it was the supreme command.

but.

Chiyo Kuchiki refused so casually...

From ancient times to the present.

No one can resist the temptation to join the Zero Squad!

It seems.

The turmoil in Soul Society is far from over...

"We have no right to interfere in matters concerning the Spirit King's Palace."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni squinted and spoke softly, looking out the window at the sky, his expression shifting between light and shadow.

……

now.

Above Seireitei.

The Spirit King Palace, which has existed for millions of years and is hidden under layers of restrictions, is now bustling with activity, a sound that has not been heard for a long time.

On the open space of the square.

"reject?"

Is he serious?

With her purple hair and a face that resembled that of a plump middle-aged woman, Kiryuu Hikifune stared wide-eyed.

Even Shutara Senjumaru, with his elegant demeanor and luxurious attire, looked utterly astonished.

it turns out.

There are really people who can resist the temptation to join the Zero Squad!

To know.

Joining the Zero Division grants immortality and the coveted power!

Even so.

Chiya Kuchiki refused without hesitation!

intermediate.

Hyobu Ichibei's face also darkened. He stroked his beard and said in a low voice:

"Chiyo Kuchiki's refusal."

"That means he didn't kill Aizen, the traitor, on purpose!"

Do not kill Aizen.

Perhaps there are other hidden reasons, such as insufficient time for Bankai, or insufficient spiritual power...

As for not joining the Zero Division! That's practically blatant disrespect for the Soul King!

In the field.

The atmosphere was extremely depressing.

All of them.

Everyone knows the origin of Soul Society, the origin of the Three Realms, and the true truth about the Soul King.

but.

This matter was absolutely confidential and forbidden information for the lower-class residents, because it was all too dark.

And the Zero Squad.

On the surface, they are the Spirit King's guards, but in reality, they are more like a form of surveillance against the Spirit King, who has had his hands and feet cut off and is half-dead!

Only if the Spirit King willingly becomes a puppet, a wedge, can the Three Realms be stable!

Only then can they have an infinite lifespan.

An incomparably exalted status, and power far greater than ever before!

prior to.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni discovered the truth of the world.

but.

He chose to give in.

A profound sense of powerlessness filled his heart.

Even later, despite having a heart set on justice, he only worked diligently within the Gotei 13 under his jurisdiction.

Sweep the snow from your own doorstep, and don't worry about the frost on your roof.

Even though he was known as the strongest Grim Reaper in a thousand years, he felt quite powerless after learning the truth about the world and had no determination to change it.

but.

just now.

Chiya Kuchiki made a completely different choice...

"dududu~"

Hyobu Ichibei remained calm, gently tapping the ground as he pondered for a long time.

"Squad Zero should not be deployed lightly."

"The threat posed by Aizen cannot be ignored."

Nimaiya Oetsu, Hikifune Kiryu, Shutara Senjumaru, Kirinji Tenjiro, and the others all looked at Hyonshube Ichibei, their pupils slightly contracting.

It seems.

He has already decided.

Let's sit back and watch the tigers fight! Let Aizen and Chiya Kuchiki kill each other, and in the end, whoever is the final victor will be the target of the Zero Division's annihilation!

"Such an existence that threatens the stability of the Three Realms must never exist in this world!"

Hyosube Ichibei's words were resolute and unwavering, filled with an undeniable determination!

……

Simultaneously.

Hueco Mundo.

Inside a vast, gray-white palace.

On the grand throne.

A man with an expressionless face, cold and arrogant eyes, and a strand of brown hair hanging down his forehead looked at the several figures below.

And extending to the horizon, there was that enormous slash mark that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.

Even though many days have passed.

The slash mark showed no signs of fading.

even.

Even if a Hollow were to enter, it would be instantly shredded into pieces by the endless sharpness that filled it!

That was Chiyo Kuchiki's warning to Aizen and the entire Hueco Mundo, from thousands of miles away.
