"Well said... I never expected that even a young person would have such courage and such a profound sense of righteousness. I am truly ashamed!"
"Lord Aizen, my Zanpakuto is called—"
Normally, such words would probably leave people speechless, but at this moment, everyone had just gone through a brutal battle and was exhausted both physically and mentally. Seeing someone being so frank, coupled with Iori's selfless act of covering the rear for his allies and risking his life to save Amagai Shusuke... who wouldn't applaud?
Even the all-knowing and ageless Saito couldn't help but give Iori a thumbs up!
Faced with a chorus of praise, Iori humbly bowed her head in acknowledgment, and then sat down next to Amagai.
His [Mirror of Still Water] was at his waist, but unlike ordinary Zanpakuto, it was in its Shikai state when it was called, instead of reverting to its Asauchi form.
But no one took it seriously and had no doubts about it:
They had all heard from Amagai that Iori had attained Shikai in a desperate situation in order to save him. Perhaps there was some hidden danger in forcibly calling his name, which caused Iori's Shikai to have some problems and he could not revert to the Asauchi state. Or perhaps he had become a Zanpakuto with a permanent release.
There's nothing strange about that. There are plenty of strange Zanpakuto in Soul Society, and countless examples of Shikai or Bankai malfunctioning.
So what if you can't revert to your original form after your initial release? Some people's Bankai is permanent once they activate it, while others have used Bankai for decades without even knowing that there's a second stage!
In short, the Soul Society has a long history, and all sorts of strange things have appeared, so don't make a fuss over nothing.
The main character of this military meeting was not Iori. Although his performance was excellent, his best record was fighting three Adjuchas alone in the great battle and successfully killing one and repelling two of them. Saito Immortal!
Ultimately, this is a world of extraordinary power, where top-tier combatants can influence the entire battle. It was Saito's victory that allowed the Shinigami to successfully weather this Hollow Tide.
"Is the captain's injury serious?" one of the Four Heavenly Kings asked with concern.
Saito nodded nonchalantly, then picked up the wine cup next to him and drank half of it: "Glug... It's alright, those three Adjuchas were just for show, not that difficult to deal with. If it weren't for their somewhat peculiar abilities, I would have taken them down without a scratch!"
Seeing that she was still in the mood to drink and brag, everyone felt relieved.
Mid-level Hollow Adjuchas theoretically possess Captain-level spiritual pressure, but just as Captain-level beings vary in strength, the strength of Adjuchas also varies drastically, to the point that they don't even seem to be in the same category.
The Adjuchas that attacked the camp this time only had decent spiritual pressure, but its combat skills were mediocre and posed no threat to Saito... However, there was something she kept to herself and didn't tell the Four Heavenly Kings.
That is, she suspected that a stronger Hollow was manipulating the attack, because she sensed a very strange feeling from the three Adjuchas, as if they were being forcibly matured...
But it would be too terrifying to say this out loud. The Hollow that can control Adjuchas at will might be the highest-ranking Vasto Lorde. And those kinds of guys are monsters that require multiple captains to defeat. The expeditionary force alone is definitely not enough.
Saito deliberately took a minor injury to feign weakness and see if there was really a high-ranking Hollow behind the scenes.
However, nothing unusual happened until the end of the battle, which made her suspicious.
At this moment, Saito recalled a rumor he had heard long ago that a Hollow had once appeared in Soul Society that was invincible, even Yamamoto had been defeated by it, and it was only after a big shot from the Zero Division intervened that it was dealt with.
In the years since the Gotei 13 was established, although there have been no large-scale wars with Hueco Mundo, there have been many conflicts between them... A previous Kenpachi once suspected that there might be a place in Hueco Mundo similar to Seireitei, where a "King" might exist.
"Deep within Hueco Mundo... there might be things we don't understand."
The four Heavenly Kings below exchanged glances, not understanding why Saito had suddenly uttered such a sentiment. Only Iori inwardly agreed:
Hueco Mundo certainly harbors many Hollows, including quite a few Vasto Lordes, but Captain Saito's worries are somewhat unnecessary.
After all, in the world of Bleach, humans, Shinigami, and Quincy are all the Soul King's "children," while only Hollows are adopted!
Among the various power systems, the Hollows are basically the worst treated. The peak power of Shinigami and Quincy can easily suppress them. Two hundred years later, there's even the infamous "Queen of Hueco Mundo" being subjected to bondage and sexual exploits. So there's really no need to worry about a rebellion in Hueco Mundo.
"By the way, to recognize Aizen Iori's achievements this time, you will stay after the meeting. You probably still have questions about how to communicate with your Zanpakuto, right? I can teach you."
Saito then brought up something completely unrelated: "I heard you know a little bit of 'returning energy'? That might be helpful in changing my bandages or something."
"Huh?" Iori looked at Saito Ichiro from head to toe, and hesitated, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
“What’s good or bad about it? With so many injured people around, medical care should prioritize the seriously injured. My minor injury is fine to be treated by someone as inexperienced as you.” Saito acted very magnanimously, without any of the coyness typical of a young woman.
Iori gave an awkward smile:
It's not worth getting into a scandal over a tablet... If you had any guts and the size of Rin Tohsaka, I would have accepted it even if I had to hold my nose. But this figure is even more like Rie Kugimiya's than Misaka Mikoto's... Sigh, who can blame me when the higher-ups are in charge? I have no choice but to compromise myself!
-
After the last wave of illusory tide, the camp enjoyed a long period of peace. Iori worked part-time as a member of the medical team at the wounded soldiers' camp while also learning basic knowledge and Shunpo techniques from Saito. It could be said that her life was quite fulfilling.
However, he didn't forget the world of "Akatsuki". With the help of Hueco Mundo's special environment, he could often "fully recharge" in just half a day, so he traveled to and from the other world more often.
However, as the name "Martial Venerable" spread throughout the Far Eastern island nation, his reputation seemed to have reached a temporary peak. To further elevate it, he would need time to accumulate, which left Iori with some regret.
This kind of constantly refreshable art style CG undoubtedly opened up a new track for him. In the future, when there are similar CGs, he can continue to refresh by imitating this example... But it is not easy to obtain art style value so efficiently.
Because Iori's success in the Far East was conditional:
Firstly, the region was plagued by warlordism and frequent disasters, leading the people to yearn for heroes, and Iori met this demand.
Secondly, the combat strength in the Far East is not high. Iori here is equivalent to an ancestor who dominates an era in a fantasy novel. After killing the Azure Dragon, clearing the entire map is almost effortless.
In other places, it's not so easy to meet these conditions.
Soul Society?
Let alone the fact that Soul Society is full of hidden talents, Iori's current level is not enough to cause any trouble. Just the fact that he has become a "hero of the people" makes the 46 Chambers suspect that he is trying to lead the Rukongai into a rebellion...
Fortunately, while Bleach may not have been a success, Akame ga Kill! is still a work in progress.
On a continent facing the Far East across the sea, the thousand-year-old empire has decayed, and the people living in darkness yearn to be saved. This is a godsend for Iori!
Thinking of this, Iori's sense of justice was suddenly awakened, and he wished he could immediately "trample the bones of nobles and officials in the streets"... However, he also knew that he could not act so impulsively.
The Empire is ultimately much stronger than the Far East. Not to mention that Iori's rash actions might allow the Revolutionary Army to take advantage of her, the Ice Queen Esdeath, as the ultimate villain, is indeed a ruthless person. She is not on the same level as other Teigu users at all. She is the kind of exceptionally strong person who makes people wonder if they have wandered into the wrong movie.
Fortunately, she's just a mortal being; her martial arts skills are superb, but that's about it. She still falls into the category of "if a person is killed, they will die." Otherwise, given her performance and character design, Iori might have been a little worried.
Iori has always been incredibly efficient and decisive, packing her bags and immediately moving from the Far East to the mainland—this shows just how convenient the [Shangri-La] Imperial Arms is.
Once the Imperial Arm is activated, the Tai Chi Bagua-shaped magic circle unfolds, allowing one to traverse thousands of miles in the blink of an eye... This kind of Imperial Arm should not be used by a single person; it is best used in conjunction with elite small units to carry out decapitation operations!
In a sense, this is definitely a strategic weapon.
After Iori returned, he was active for a few days and quickly re-established contact with the Revolutionary Army as "Faceless." Two days later, the one-armed, one-eyed female general Najenda found him and once again invited him to cooperate.
Iori was naturally happy about this: "Are we still working with that disguised assassin Chelsea from last time?"
"No, this time it's a collaboration with my team."
Najenda smiled slightly and said with high spirits, "I was ordered to infiltrate the capital to gather intelligence and formed a secret unit to carry out assassination missions... Your old acquaintance Akame and her sister Kurome are also in it."
"Ha~"
Iori knew perfectly well what Najenda meant by specifically mentioning Akame, but instead of responding, he asked, "Does this secret unit have a code name?"
"Of course!"
Najenda said with a hint of pride, "We are called 'Night Raid'!"

【Dimensional Gate: The Type-Moon Universe】
"Um?!"
Iori suddenly opened her eyes wide, her gaze sharp, startling Najenda opposite her.
"……What’s wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered some trivial matters." Iori regained her composure on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil.
Type-Moon... The new story CG pulls out Type-Moon!
It's different there from "Akatsuki no Akame ga Kill!". Spiritual activity is unrestricted, and there are even special spiritual entities called "Servants". Now, the technology to materialize souls is finally available!
Chapter 50: [The Bride of Humanity - The Beast of Continuation]
Upon seeing the cutscene for the second time, Iori was naturally very excited. While the world of "Akatsuki: Red Dead Redemption" had some potential to be explored, it was ultimately unsuitable for a spirit like Iori, and the power system was too simplistic.
It's just physical skills plus divine tools.
The essence of Imperial Arms is to make the abilities of Super Dangerous Species available to oneself. Geniuses like the Queen may be able to surpass their teachers, but there is a ceiling to their abilities, and it is very difficult to make a breakthrough.
In contrast, the Type-Moon series contains numerous parallel worlds, has a very complete (even bloated and complicated) setting, and has more than one power system, offering many things that can be used by those familiar with the plot.
Furthermore, spirits are quite common in Type-Moon, and free energy is not as rare as in Akame ga Kill!.
Yes, that perfectly meets his current needs!
There is just one point to note:
【Inhibition】
This is one of the basic settings of the Type-Moon universe, similar to the Heavenly Dao in cultivation novels. Although it never appears, it observes everything and intervenes when necessary to ensure that the "development of the world" does not deviate from its predetermined trajectory.
However, according to the original work, the suppressor generally does not interfere unless it is a major event that will affect the course of history.
Iori isn't some kind of world-destroying demon king; he just wants to watch some CGs and learn a bit. Knowing a little about Type-Moon's backstory, he won't touch on the sensitive points of the Counter Force. After thinking it over, he figured as long as he's careful, there shouldn't be any problems.
"I just don't know exactly which world I've traveled to..."
After making a verbal agreement with Najenda, Iori returned to the hotel where she was staying and began to ponder the matter to herself.
Type-Moon's worldview is quite vast, and the differences between the various parallel worlds are also very obvious. There is Tsukihime, where Dead Apostles roam freely, and Fate, where Heroic Spirits descend to earth. In addition, there is the philosophically rich Kara no Kyoukai, as well as relatively niche works such as Mayo!, Steel Earth, and DDD.
If I were to transmigrate into the world of "Kara no Kyoukai" or "Tsukihime", that would be fine, but if it were the world of "Steel Earth"... well, who knows if a spirit like Iori could survive in the "end of time"?
Why don't we try it first and see where it leads?
Iori carefully checked her condition and, after confirming that her spiritual pressure was sufficient, used [Shangri-La] to transfer to a safe house, storing away any extra items and only carrying the Ame-no-Murakumo sword with her.
"Most of Type-Moon's works contain fantasy elements, so they should not lack magic or spiritual energy. With my strength, as long as it is not too extreme, I should be able to hold out for at least ten seconds to open the door, right?"
At worst, they can just talk their way out of it; the Type-Moon boss falls for that!
Iori had already made up her mind that this was just a reconnaissance mission to see what the situation was like on the other side, and if things didn't look good, she would retreat decisively!
"Should we say something at this point? Okay..."
Link Start!

hum~
A brilliant, colorful glow appeared, and in a Japanese-style room with tatami mats and a low-legged kotatsu table, Iori's figure slowly materialized from the light.
As she felt the solid ground beneath her feet, Iori instinctively gripped the hilt of her sword, gathering her spiritual pressure to prepare for any potential threat.
As it turned out, the extreme situation I had imagined did not occur. Instead, Iori noticed that her "body" seemed to have changed a bit... but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
The concept of "magic" in Type-Moon is very broad. The life force generated by the body can be transformed into magic, but the soul can too. Even the bodies of Servants are made of magic, only the specific purity and nature are different.
Could it be that the cross-dimensional effect of the "art style value" caused Iori's Shinigami body to automatically transform into a spirit body of this world? Is he using magic now?
Is he a Servant, a Phantom Spirit, or simply a ghost?
There's no such change in "Akatsuki: Red Dead Redemption," so is it because that world doesn't have a mature energy system...?
Before Iori could think further, various colored dots lit up in the void beside her. As countless particles gathered, figures appeared in the small Japanese-style room.
Upon seeing this, Iori immediately tensed up, but he suppressed his restlessness and did not act rashly.
And this choice was indeed correct. After those people appeared, they did not pay special attention to Iori. They just looked around casually and then found places to stand or sit down.
"Oh my, there are quite a lot of people this time. It seems our 'former master' is a bit lonely~"
An elderly gentleman dressed in British style chuckled and made a joke, glancing at Iori but saying nothing, as if it were perfectly normal for strangers to appear in the room.
—They seem to think Iori is also a summoned Servant.
Yes, all of these people are Servants!
As a long-time unlucky player, Iori could even name them all:
Black Dog, Bloodaxe, Grand Duke, Professor...
Looking around, Iori grew increasingly alarmed: Where was this place? It looked like an ordinary room, so why were there so many Heroic Spirits?
A Holy Grail War? I've never seen this scenario before!
Just as Iori was feeling extremely uneasy, a familiar, light voice came from outside:
