[If we reach 100 Power Stones this week, I'll release 10 bonus chapters as a thank-you to everyone's support!]
....
Aiyan did not look back to see the scenery outside the Soul King's Throne, but he revealed the identity of the person who used Hadō #99 · Goryūtenmetsu:
"I have been able to give up chanting and use Hadō #99, while still retaining one-third of my power."
"You've grown."
"Urahara Kisuke."
He turned his back to the Dankū wall and raised Zanpakutō, completely ignoring Urahara Kisuke who came with Goryūtenmetsu.
Clang
After realizing that even Hadō #99 · Goryūtenmetsu could not stop Aiyan, Urahara Kisuke, who had reached the top of Soul King palace at some point, pulled out Zanpakutō and stuck it on the palace roof at his feet.
"Bankai · Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame."
Just as Aiyan's Zanpakutō was stabbing towards the Soul King sealed in the crystal, the space inside the Soul King's inner body immediately seemed to be folded up, like a piece of paper that had been stacked up in layers.
The inside of the folded Soul King, no matter the distance, position, or shape, has all been rewritten.
Some places seem far away, but are actually only one step away.
Some places seem very close, but in fact they are really far away.
For example, the distance between Aiyan's Zanpakutō and the crystal that sealed the Soul King was originally less than two meters apart, but now it is as far apart as the sky after the space is folded.
Even if Zanpakutō is completely thrust out, it will not be able to touch the Soul King Crystal.
"Is this your Bankai?"
"It is indeed a very powerful ability to restructure and transform anything touched by Zanpakutō."
"No wonder you can create such an outstanding invention. Zanpakutō can transform everything at will. Coupled with your mind, given time, you might not be able to become a being who creates the history of Soul Society."
Seeing that Urahara Kisuke could even modify the space after using Bankai, Aiyan's voice revealed some appreciation:
"However, your Bankai alone is not enough for you to take the Soul King away from me."
The words have not yet finished.
A terrifying Reiatsu was released from his body, sweeping away in all directions, ravaging the entire Soul King palace like a hurricane.
Wherever Reiatsu passed, the repaired space, whether it was folded or tilted, was smoothed out at an astonishing speed until it returned to its original state.
"Reiatsu alone can completely suppress all modifications caused by my Bankai."
"Aiyan."
"You're scarier than ever."
Urahara Kisuke's voice reached Aiyan's ears:
"But if I dare to come to you, I not only have the courage to face you, but also the strength to compete with you."
The space inside the Soul King's palace was like a mirror that fell to the ground and shattered with a 'click'.
"Aiyan Sōsuke."
Twelve Zanpakutō stabbed out from the broken space like lightning, surrounded by the terrifying torrent of Reiatsu and ferocious murderous intent, slashing out the rolling sword pressure that tore apart everything, and surged towards Aiyan.
One of them, in particular, was as black as coal, but filled with a terrifying heat that even distorted the sky.
However,
Facing the Zanpakutō coming from the sky, Aiyan didn't even look at them.
He didn't even use the power of the Shinigami, Hollow, or Quincy, and just turned his back on the twelve Shinigami who launched a shocking assassination.
Clang
Before the twelve Zanpakutō could get close to Aiyan, figures were already stepping on Shunpo, rushing through the air, pulling out Zanpakutō one after another, and holding all the blades close to him.
"I didn't expect that I was just a Lieutenant next to Aiyan Sōsuke, but he has grown to this point."
"I was able to defeat Chojiro last time, and this time I have to face my Resurrección."
"Amazing."
Holding Zanpakutō, one of the old, yet extremely burly figures who rushed out of the broken space stared coldly at Rangiku Matsumoto who was blocking his blade.
"Teacher Genryusai."
"Captain Yamamoto!"
the other side.
After holding up the intruder's Zanpakutō, Kyoraku Shunsui and Jūshirō Ukitake both looked at the resurrected Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto with stunned expressions.
"Strange!"
"Why can't I read even a shred of Reiatsu in Genryusai-sensei?"
"This has only happened to Aiyan, Aizen, and Matsumoto Rangiku."
Jūshirō Ukitake frowned.
With Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's blazing Reiatsu like the sun, even if you don't know how to use Reiatsu sense, you can feel it intuitively.
But now, he couldn't read any trace of Reiatsu from the other party.
It's like a cold corpse.
"Long time no see, Unohana."
"Your sword."
"Looks sharper than before."
A Shinigami with a long ponytail, glasses, seemingly petite figure, but carrying an astonishingly large bust, held a long-handled naginata that was completely opposite to her appearance, temperament, and figure, and slashed her head.
"Batsu'unsai Katori!"
"Not only Urahara Kisuke, but also you and others have been resurrected."
"It seems that Urahara Kisuke is indeed not wasting his time these days."
Yachiru Unohana revealed the opponent's name in one word.
Astonishingly, it was her equal name, Batsu'unsai Katori, who was once one of the First Generation Gotei captains.
She is also the only Shinigami among the First Generation Gotei captains whose fighting style is bloody and fierce, as well as her figure and appearance, which are comparable to hers.
"Captain of the First Generation Division 9, Entetsu Kumoi."
"Captain of the First Generation Division 7, Nobutsuna Shigyō."
"Captain of the First Generation Division 12, Uhin Zenjōji.
At the same time, after stopping the Shinigami who were attacking Aiyan
Without exception, they are both familiar and unfamiliar faces.
They are familiar with them because they have seen these faces in the textbooks of Shin'ō Academy and in the history of different teams after joining Gotei 13.
First Generation Gotei 13.
In addition to Yachiru Unohana, those who attacked Aiyan were the twelve First Generation captains headed by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.
These Shinigami should have been dead for many years and have already fallen into hell.
At this moment, all the officials were resurrected and gathered in the Soul King's Palace!
"What the hell is going on?"
Yoruichi Shihouin, Tōshirō Hitsugaya and others just felt unbelievable.
Reversal of life and death, resurrecting the dead.
For those who have seen Aiyan's power, it is enough to accept it calmly.
But the problem is that most of the First Generation Gotei captains died in battle thousand years ago, except for Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, who died recently.
They don't think that Urahara Kisuke has the ability to completely resurrect a Shinigami who has been dead for more than a thousand years.
"Captain Yamamoto."
"So are the other First Generation captains."
"Urahara Kisuke, what exactly did you do to you?"
Kyoraku Shunsui's eyes swept over Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and the First Generation captains, except for Batsu'unsai Katori, whose faces just had the words 'I am a bad guy' written on them.
"I actually made you come out of hell again."
