Death: No cheats, take refuge in Aizen

Chapter 307 305. Awakening, ahead of time

If Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro were standing here at this moment, their pupils would definitely tremble.

Because the captain of the 9th Division, Tosen Kaname, who they had confirmed to have killed, was standing in front of Aizen intact at this moment.

"I'm ready, Lord Aizen."

Tosen Kaname was still wearing the captain's haori of the 9th Division at this time.

The scars of the previous battle can still be seen on the haori.

It can be seen that Tosen Kaname still experienced the battle between Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro.

However, in the end, he was still saved by Aizen using the mirror flower and water moon.

The body of Tosen Kaname lying in the morgue of Soul Society is just an ordinary corpse of a civilian in Rukongai.

And it is easy for Aizen to get such a corpse.

"Even I can't guarantee that you will be safe this time."

Aizen said to Tosen Kaname.

Because what he was going to do to Tosen Kaname this time was not the Hollowization process that had been matured before, but the complete Hollowization that had been designed long ago and was just waiting for the complete Hougyoku to be in place.

That is, let the object of Hollowization be in place in one step, skip the process of conquering the power of Hollow, and directly master the return to the blade.

This kind of thing, before this, only existed in theory, and had not been tested even once.

So Tosen Kaname was strictly speaking the first experiment.

Originally according to Aizen's plan, Tosen Kaname should have waited until Aizen had tried it several times before doing such Hollowization.

It was only after Tosen Kaname came to Hueco Mundo that he realized that his strength was no longer able to keep up with the main force, so he chose to take the initiative.

He wanted to master Hollowization as soon as possible.

Then do more things!

In the beautiful future built by Lord Aizen, he, Tosen Kaname, must occupy the identity of a builder.

Fortunately, this Hollowization was very successful. Thanks to the terrifying effect of the complete Hougyoku, Tosen Kaname encountered almost no obstacles in the process of mastering Hollowization.

Feeling the spiritual pressure that expanded several times in his body, Tosen Kaname felt that he had the qualifications to stand beside Master Aizen again.

But unfortunately, the reason why Aizen saved Tosen Kaname this time was not because of Aizen's kindness.

But because Aizen had made a secret agreement with Higashino Shuichi before.

That is, Higashino Shuichi will help Aizen get the complete Hogyoku and confront the Soul Society thoroughly, and then go to the legendary country of the Quincy, the invisible empire located in the shadow world.

It is impossible for Aizen to follow Higashino Shuichi in, after all, Aizen did such a big thing in the Soul Society.

For a long time to come, there will be countless eyes in the Soul Society staring at Hueco Mundo.

Once Aizen leaves Hueco Mundo for a long time, it is very likely that the overall pattern of the entire Hueco Mundo, which has been managed by Aizen for more than two hundred years, will be strongly broken by the Death God of Soul Society.

And that is what Aizen does not want to see.

For Aizen, the current Hueco Mundo is more like his experimental field, base, and status.

With Hueco Mundo, he can continue to conduct his experiments and external activities.

Without Hueco Mundo, and without absolute certainty, Aizen would not allow himself to be exiled to the world like Urahara Kisuke, who was a stray dog, in front of an ally like Higashino Hideichi who could change his position at any time.

Therefore, Hueco Mundo cannot be lost.

But Aizen is worried about Higashino Hideichi entering the Invisible Empire alone.

Don't get me wrong, Aizen is not worried about Higashino Hideichi's safety, but he is worried that Higashino Hideichi will disgust him in the Invisible Empire.

For example, kill the king of the Quincy, Yhwach, in advance.

Aizen will not allow such a thing to happen.

For Aizen, Higashino Hideichi can kill anyone in the Invisible Empire, but he cannot kill Yhwach.

Yhwach can only be left to Aizen.

Now Aizen has such confidence.

He is the king standing above the heavens, and naturally he must defeat all the "kings" with his own hands to prove that he is justified.

Therefore, Tosen Kaname was the person Aizen sent to the Invisible Empire, under the name of helping, but actually monitoring Higashino Hideichi.

Aizen did not ask Tosen Kaname, who was strengthened by himself, to really stop Higashino Hideichi.

Aizen knew that was unrealistic.

He only asked Tosen Kaname to hold Higashino Hideichi back until he rushed over to save the situation, that was enough.

In fact, among Aizen's subordinates, Ichimaru Gin was the best candidate to carry out this task, but both Higashino Hideichi and Aizen himself knew the identity of Ichimaru Gin.

So this time, even the fact that Tosen Kaname was not dead was kept secret from Ichimaru Gin.

It was for this reason that Higashino Hideichi, who had originally planned to go to the Invisible Empire immediately after helping Aizen obtain the complete Hogyoku, was forced to stay in the real world.

This is why the previous scene happened. Higashino Hideichi, Kurosaki Masaki, Urahara Kisuke and others celebrated Shiba Isshin's recovery in Urahara Kisuke's grocery store.

At the same time, on the same day, Higashino Hideichi and Kurosaki Masaki and others watched Shiba Isshin leave together.

This is different from the original plot where Shiba Isshin stayed in the world because of Kurosaki Masaki.

In this world line, Isshin Shiba, who had not yet had anything to do with Kurosaki Masaki, confessed everything about himself in advance.

So the Soul Society rehabilitated Isshin Shiba while vindicating the previous Hollow Shinigami such as Hirako Masaki and Rokuguruma Kensei.

However, the direct reason for the withdrawal of the wanted order for Isshin Shiba was because of what Gin Ichimaru deliberately said in front of everyone at that time.

It was because Gin Ichimaru said that Isshin Shiba discovered the problem of Aizen and tried to stop them, and then Gin Ichimaru almost killed Isshin Shiba.

Then the members of the newly established Central 46th Chamber recognized Isshin Shiba's identity as a "good man".

It can be said that it was very simple and crude, and very childish, just like before.

But there was nothing that could be done about it.

After experiencing the two historical events of the Central 46th Chamber being massacred more than a hundred years ago, a consensus was basically reached among the nobles.

That is, serving in the Central 46th Chamber is no longer a popular job, but a very high-risk industry.

In the past, Higashino Hideichi, who openly "rebelled", slaughtered all the members of the Central 46th Chamber in a rage (that time, Higashino Hideichi and Aizen reached an agreement, and Higashino Hideichi took the blame for Aizen);

Later, Aizen Sosuke, who openly "rebelled", also attacked the members of the Central 46th Chamber.

Now who can guarantee that the next rebel will not follow suit, thinking that it would be a bit embarrassing if he did not attack the Central 46th Chamber, and then attack the members of the Central 46th Chamber?

After all, there are already one and two, is there still a lack of a third?

Therefore, it is conceivable what kind of people are the nobles who are still willing to serve as members of the Central 46th Chamber.

These brains were able to use thanks to the reminder of Kyoraku Shunsui, who was the acting captain and the captain of the 8th Division at the time.

As for why he was the acting captain, it was because the original captain Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was seriously injured in the previous battle.

At the same time, it was because Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni opened his Bankai in that battle.

As a result, the entire Soul Society was severely affected.

Some of the young Shinigami who were close to him were burned by the terrifying high temperature without even doing anything, and they are still lying in the barracks of the Fourth Division for treatment.

Not to mention those ordinary civilians and buildings.

Faced with such damage, on the one hand, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni himself couldn't get over it, and on the other hand, the newly established Central 46th Office, a makeshift team, also threw all the responsibilities on Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni in order to pass the buck.

There was no way. As a disciple of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, Kyoraku Shunsui could only take over this burden for the teacher for the time being.

As for how long it would take, it would depend on when Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni recovered.

At the same time, because of the title of acting head, Kyoraku Shunsui actually had the title of captain-general, but he did not have the prestige of the former captain-general.

He could indeed represent the Soul Society and accept Isshin Shiba again, but he could not convince the new Central 46th Chamber to accept Mako Hirako and his group who were still in the human world.

As for Kensei Mukuma and Rojuro Hogami, who had long been in the Soul Society, they were inevitably driven to the human world to reunite with Mako Hirako and others because they followed the Shinigami of Sayaka Kabuto’s line to revolt.

Although Sayaka Kabuto is still arguing with the Central 46th Chamber and other nobles, Sayaka Kabuto’s side also lost several generals in succession in this war.

Otomu was hand-picked by Higashino Hideichi and was to be taken away next, so she simply did not show up.

Yushiro Osu was shattered by the battle with Aizen. He practiced Dankai as a magic weapon equivalent to his life. The complete destruction of Dankai was as much damage to him as the destruction of his Zanpakutō.

So in the short term, Yushiro Osu was basically useless.

Matsumoto Rangiku, who was able to perform Bankai before, was fine, but after the battle with Ichimaru Gin, I don't know what Ichimaru Gin did to completely block the release of her Zanpakutō.

As a result, only Kisaragi Shusuke is left to support Sayaka Kabuto.

(Kisaragi Shusuke: This family still depends on me~)

At most, there is also the one who has never stepped out of the Kabuto family for many years, Zaraki Fuuya.

Therefore, the other nobles spoke to Sayaka Kabuto more forcefully.

However, due to Sayaka Kabuto's status as one of the four nobles, and the support of another one of the four nobles, Shiba family's head Shiba Kūkaku, they did not pull the Kabuto family down from the altar like a tiger or a wolf.

Of course, words cannot be said. In fact, now in the Soul Society, the Kabuto family and the Shiba family are in a relationship of lips and teeth.

As the four special nobles with no small noble vassal under them, the reason why they can still stay in the position of the four nobles is that in addition to some special information held by the family itself.

The only thing they can rely on is their strong combat power.

The Kabuto family relies on the "legacy" left by Higashino Hideichi, and the Shiba family relies on Shiba Isshin, who returned to Soul Society and took over the position of captain from the dismissed assistant of the former captain of the Tenth Division, Kisaragi Xiu.

Neither of the two families is much stronger than the other now, so they can only huddle together for warmth.

Otherwise, even if Kuchiki Byakuya and Shihouin Yoruichi didn't have that idea, they couldn't stop other people in the family from having similar ideas.

And the above changes in the Soul Society after Aizen's rebellion, Higashino Hideichi didn't know.

It's not that he doesn't have the ability to know, but he doesn't care.

Kabuto Ma Sayako thinks that they can still protect themselves now. With the protection of Tsutsuki Shusuke and the former Kenpachi and Zaraki Souya, there is no need to worry about their safety, so there is no need to disturb Higashino Hideichi with these trivial matters.

Higashino Hideichi, who is now staying in the real world, is facing another difficult thing.

That was the third day after Shiba Isshin left.

When Kurosaki Masaki was about to leave home to go to school, she suddenly fainted on the ground and was unconscious.

"So, father, what happened to Masaki?"

Standing outside the bedroom where Kurosaki Masaki was lying, Ishida Ryugen, who hurried back from the company, frowned and asked his father Ishida Sogen.

Although there is no love between Ishida Ryugen and Kurosaki Masaki, they are childhood sweethearts. Ishida Ryugen is a few years older than Kurosaki Masaki, and basically treats Kurosaki Masaki as his sister.

So at this moment, he also showed great concern about Kurosaki Masaki's situation.

Upon hearing this, Ishida Sogen looked at Higashino Hideichi next to him. After seeing the latter nod, he sighed and said helplessly,

"Mr. Kabuto and I sent Masaki to the hospital first, but the hospital did not find any problems with Masaki's body.

Therefore, Mr. Kabuto directly examined Masaki's body and found that the power of the Quincy that originally belonged to Masaki was almost gone."

"How is this possible?" Ishida Ryugen questioned.

"It's not impossible. For the high and mighty Quincy King, ordinary Quincy are just tools that he can use to draw power at any time.

And the tool he uses to draw power is called. Holy Separation!"

The moment he said this, Ishida Sogen seemed to have aged a few years.

If possible, Ishida Sogen didn't want his son to know such a cruel reality.

But he knew that there was a Quincy like Kabuto Takuya who was almost certain to come from that world like himself. If Kabuto Takuya didn't intend to hide it, he alone couldn't hide it.

"I know you must still have doubts, Longxian, for example, why are I, you, your father, and your current girlfriend all fine?

That's because Holy Separation only targets pure-blooded Quincy, and now our king seems to only intend to absorb the power of those Quincy in the world for the time being.

As for us, hehe. It's just a matter of time~"

Hideichi Higashino leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette and said.

His words were equivalent to tacitly acknowledging his origins.

Ishida Ryugen still found it hard to believe.

But when he looked at his father and saw that he also showed the same expression of abandoning the dog after the rabbit died as Higashino Hideichi, he could only tell himself that this was the fact, a cruel fact for them.

After a long time, Ishida Ryugen silently pushed open the door of Kurosaki Masaki's room a little, and through the crack of the door, he looked at his sister who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

"So, Masaki, is there no hope?"

Even though he had accepted his fate, Ishida Ryugen still couldn't bear to see Kurosaki Masaki die suddenly in front of him.

"Yeah"

"No"

Two completely different answers came out of Ishida Sogen and Higashino Hideichi almost at the same time.

Ishida Ryugen turned his head and looked at Higashino Hideichi who answered "no" at the first time.

"It's actually quite complicated to explain this, but to put it simply, you can understand that,

Masaki has learned some special moves I created, so under the special mechanism of the Holy Seal, she may have escaped."

After saying that, Higashino Hideichi did not forget to add in his heart,

"After all, those are moves created by Youhabach himself, and a group of members of the Stern Cross Knights don't have the opportunity to learn them!

If the Holy Seal misunderstood something because of this, it's understandable."

This explanation sounds a bit ridiculous, but it is also the only explanation that Higashino Hideichi can think of after discovering that Kurosaki Masaki is still alive.

Of course, for Higashino Hideichi, it doesn't matter whether Kurosaki Masaki is alive or dead. What's important is that he was Holy Seal, which means that Youhabach has awakened earlier than the time in his prophecy!
