Chapter 470 The Returning Captains
"Squeak..."
A gate opened above the Soul Society, and a group of captains and vice-captains walked out of it.
Although everyone was seriously injured in the battle with Aizen, after the captain of the fourth division, Unohana Retsu, returned to the human world, all those who did not die on the spot were finally rescued by Captain Unohana.
Severe injuries became minor injuries, and minor injuries became no injuries.
Even without Bankai, Captain Unohana's attainment in Kaido should not be underestimated.
"Finally back..."
The captain of the eighth division, Kyoraku Shunsui, held up his bamboo hat and sighed.
To be honest, he didn't expect the battle with Aizen to end like that.
Even Teacher Yamamoto was defeated by Aizen in the end.
At the same time...
Kyoraku Shunsui glanced at Gin Ichimaru who was following Rangiku Matsumoto.
This guy played all of them in the palm of his hand.
He almost accomplished the feat of killing Aizen Sosuke alone.
That is to say, now all the people in the Central 46th Chamber in Soul Society have been wiped out, and the nobles who wanted to re-establish the Central 46th Chamber were also eliminated by Rukia, Kuchiki Byakuya and others. Otherwise, for everything that Ichimaru Gin did, even if he attacked Aizen Sosuke in the end, he would definitely be arrested and imprisoned by those nobles on some inexplicable charges.
Thinking of this, Kyoraku Shunsui was suddenly shocked.
Could this also be the work of Captain Aylin?
Has he been paving the way for Ichimaru Gin's return since that time?
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."
Just when Kyoraku Shunsui was thinking about whether there was a connection between these things, several figures appeared in front of everyone in an instant.
These are the captain of the 5th Division, Aylin, the captain of the 6th Division, Byakuya Kuchiki, the vice-captain of the 6th Division, Abarai Renji, and the captain of the 12th Division, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, who stayed in Soul Society.
"Captain General."
"Yes."
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni nodded to the four people.
"Captain Ailin, and Ukitake, Aizen is in your hands."
"Please make sure to take him to the deepest part of the hell."
"Yes, Captain General."
Ailin nodded in agreement.
However, Ailin was also a little surprised when he looked at the cross-shaped wooden yoke bound by chains.
If he remembered correctly, this sealed ghost way should be the backup left by Urahara Kisuke in the Hogyoku.
It seems that Aizen's luck is not very good.
After admitting defeat to himself, Urahara Kisuke still triggered the seal in the Hogyoku.
Ailin raised his index and middle fingers, and the white spiritual pressure turned into a light rope at Ailin's fingertips, binding the wooden yoke.
With a slight lift of his fingers, the wooden yoke that sealed Aizen was lifted by the light rope in Ailin's hand and suspended in the air.
"Captain Ukitake, let's go now."
"Okay."
Ukitake Jushiro nodded and followed Aylin's footsteps. The two of them walked towards the prison of the Soul Society together.
After Aylin and Ukitake Jushiro left, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni looked at Kuchiki Byakuya.
"Captain Kuchiki, why didn't I sense Captain Rukia's aura in the Soul Society?"
As early as when he returned to the Soul Society, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had already opened his spiritual sense.
Kuchiki Byakuya, Rukia, and Kurotsuchi Mayuri were the captains left behind in the Soul Society by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.
This also included some of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's defense against Aylin.
Aylin's strength was too strong.
Even if Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni himself was fully unleashed, he didn't think he was sure to defeat Aylin.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni did not want anything to happen during the battle with Aizen, so he left Byakuya Kuchiki, Rukia, and Mayuri Kurotsuchi in the Soul Society.
Among the three, Byakuya Kuchiki is the head of the Kuchiki family. Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni is very sure that even if it is Aylin, if there is any damage to the Soul Society, Byakuya Kuchiki will definitely stand up to stop it.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi is the director of the 12th Technical Development Bureau, secretly monitoring the three realms. If Captain Aylin has any unusual movements, he will definitely not be able to hide it from him.
As for Rukia, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni is not very clear about her position, so he left her in the Soul Society. With Byakuya Kuchiki and Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Rukia will not be able to cause much damage to the Soul Society.
This time when he returned from the real world, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni did not find Rukia's breath, and the entire Soul Society was filled with the atmosphere after the war, and there were traces of remaining spiritual pressure in many places.
The battle with Aizen shattered the arrogance of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the strongest god of death in a thousand years.
There was no way. Although Aizen relied on the nearly immortal super-speed regeneration of the Hogyoku to drag down Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, he was defeated.
Didn't you see that even when Aizen evolved to the final stage and completely merged with the Hogyoku, he was still defeated by Captain Eileen?
From this point of view, Captain Eileen's absolute strength has completely surpassed Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.
It was precisely because of this that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni asked Captain Eileen and Ukitake Jushiro to send the sealed Aizen to the hell together, and then began to ask Kuchiki Byakuya.
"That's right, Captain Yamamoto."
Such a big thing happened in the Soul Society. Even if Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni didn't ask, Kuchiki Byakuya would definitely report to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.
"After you left, that night, the spiritual pressure of the captains emerged from the 12th Division and quickly occupied the Gotei 13..."
"Captain Rukia and I finally escaped from the division, then sneaked into the 12th Division and contacted Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi."
"From Captain Kurotsuchi's research, we learned that the time of your return was tampered with."
"Although, in your opinion, you have just returned to the Soul Society from the human world, but for us, you have been in the Dangai for two weeks."
"With the help of Captain Kurotsuchi, we opened the gate to the human world and let Captain Rukia go to the human world two weeks later to ask Captain Urahara who stayed in the human world for help."
"If nothing unexpected happens, Captain Rukia will return to the human world. They should have just arrived in the real world now."
"Afterwards, Captain Nirvana discovered that although the time of the Dankai from Soul Society to the real world was intercepted for two weeks, the black chambers of Soul Society and Hueco Mundo were not affected by the power of the entrapment."
"Therefore, I used the black chamber opened by Captain Nirvana to enter Hueco Mundo, intending to enter the real world from Hueco Mundo to prevent you, the captain-general, from using the gate to return to Soul Society, so as to avoid being attacked by the captains of the spirit bones after entering the Soul Society."
"In the Soul Society, I met Uncle Aylin..."
"The rest of the story was much simpler."
"Uncle Aylin returned to the Soul Society with me, and all the spirit bones that were created were killed by Uncle Aylin alone."
After listening to Byakuya Kuchiki's description, the surprise on the faces of the captains was beyond words.
They could never have imagined that there was such a person in the Technical Development Bureau of the 12th Division who could create spirit bones that were no weaker than theirs.
If Captain Aylin had not taken strong action to kill these spirits, I'm afraid that after entering the Soul Court, some of them would have died.
"Captain Nirvana, are you sure that the spirits have been completely killed by Captain Aylin?"
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni asked Mayuri Nirvana with a serious expression.
"Although it is hard to believe, in the 12th Division, the marks of the spiritual pressure of these spirits show that all the spirits in the Soul Court have indeed been eliminated by Captain Aylin."
"As for the other spirits who left the Soul Court with Inaba Kagerousa, their spiritual pressure has been captured just before."
"The spirits that are confirmed to be alive are Captain Rukia of the 9th Division, Vice Captain Kira of the 3rd Division, Vice Captain Momo Hinamori of the 5th Division, Vice Captain Renji Abarai of the 6th Division, and Vice Captain Shuhei Hisagi of the 9th Division..."
"Huh?"
"I am also there?"
Momo Hinamori widened her eyes.
Although she is the vice captain, Momo Hinamori is very self-aware.
A big part of the reason why she could become the vice-captain was because she was appreciated by Captain Aizen.
However, now, Hinamori Momo also knows that the reason why Captain Aizen appreciated her and made her the vice-captain of the 5th Division was simply because he thought she was easier to control.
In terms of strength, Hinamori Momo feels that she is the weakest among the vice-captains.
"Ha, Hinamori, what's that expression on your face?"
Seeing Hinamori Momo's surprised look, Matsumoto Rangiku hugged Hinamori from behind and held her head against her chest.
"You are the vice-captain recognized by Captain Aylin, so you have some confidence in yourself."
"Also, didn't you perform very well in this battle with Hueco Mundo!"
Matsumoto Rangiku had a very good relationship with Hinamori Momo a long time ago, so basically, Matsumoto Rangiku could see what Hinamori Momo was thinking.
"Compared to you, I am much worse."
Although she said so, from Matsumoto Rangiku's face, there was no sign that she was wrong about her own worse performance.
In Matsumoto Rangiku's opinion, Gin's return is the most important thing.
Other things don't matter.
Moreover, after Captain Erin returned the part of his soul in the Hogyoku to himself, Matsumoto Rangiku could also feel that his body had undergone some changes.
Zanpakuto Gray Cat also fell into a deep sleep during this process.
I think that when Gray Cat wakes up again, Matsumoto Rangiku's strength will be greatly improved.
Ichimaru Gin looked at Matsumoto Rangiku's happy look and narrowed his eyes.
Compared with the previous Ichimaru Gin, the current Ichimaru Gin lacks the oppressive and evil feeling that makes people know at first glance that he is not a good person.
Kyoraku Shunsui pulled down his bamboo hat.
Such a scene makes people feel warm just by looking at it.
Fortunately, the Central Forty-Sixth Room no longer exists.
In this case, Lisa and others can also return to the Soul Society smoothly.
From this point of view, he seems to have to thank Captain Erin?
Otherwise, with his status, it would be unrealistic to want Lisa and others to return to the Soul Society.
"Well, that's really thanks to Captain Aylin."
"If Captain Aylin hadn't killed all the spirits, I'm afraid we would be in big trouble."
Although from the mouths of Captain Kuchiki and Captain Nirvana, Kyoraku Shunsui knew that Captain Yamamoto was not among the spirits this time.
But whether it was himself, Ukitake, or Captain Zaraki's spirits, once they fought with all their strength, I'm afraid at least one-third of the people in the entire Soul Society would die.
"Captain Kyoraku, don't say that too early."
"After my investigation of the 12th Division, I have destroyed the machine that Inaba Kagerousa used to make spirit bones, but this does not mean that Inaba Kagerousa can no longer make spirit bones."
"This is the equipment I developed these days that can distinguish spirit bones. Using this thing, you can distinguish which people are real and which are spirit bones."
"Ha, as expected of Captain Kurotsuchi Mayuri..."
Seeing that Kurotsuchi Mayuri was so well prepared, even Kyoraku Shunsui had to sigh.
As expected, he is a dangerous person imprisoned in the Worm's Nest.
Although many decisions made by the Central 46th Chamber seem very stupid, Kyoraku Shunsui has to admit that the aristocratic system that has been inherited for millions of years may have many shortcomings, but it has almost never made mistakes in preventing people or things from rising up from the bottom that may threaten their rule.
The Worm's Nest was born for this purpose.
Every person imprisoned in the Worm's Nest by the Central 46th Chamber is a person who can almost threaten the Soul Society.
The nobles of Seireitei have been able to rule the three realms for a million years, and the Worm's Nest has played an indispensable role.
After all, as long as the nobles of the Central 46th Chamber identify you as a threat, they can imprison you in the Worm's Nest on the false charge of "you may destroy Seireitei in the future" until you die, completely eliminating the resistance of outstanding talents at the bottom.
If Mayuri Kurotsuchi had not been brought out of the Worm's Nest by Urahara Kisuke, he would have been destined to be imprisoned until his death.
"Humph!"
Mayuri Kurotsuchi snorted coldly, obviously hearing the message in Kyoraku Shunsui's words.
However, Mayuri Kurotsuchi did not feel offended by this.
Rather, being considered the most terrifying potential criminal by the Central 46th Chamber and imprisoned in the deepest part of the Worm's Nest is not a shame for Mayuri Kurotsuchi, but a recognition.
In Mayuri Kurotsuchi's view, no matter what the nobles of the Central 46th Chamber are like in other aspects, at least they have no problem looking at people.
He has the ability to subvert Seireitei.
"Okay, everyone, return to your respective squads now and prepare for the upcoming battle."
Captain Yamamoto, who knew what happened in the Soul Society in the past two weeks, chose to disband here and let the captains go to comfort their own team members.
"As for you..."
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni glanced at the captains and vice-captains of the Masked Corps who came with them this time.
"You guys, go back to the first squad with me for the time being, and we will decide how to arrange you after we hold a captain meeting tomorrow."
"Yes, Captain." (End of this chapter)
