章節 1269: Chapter 1269 The Grave Situation

Although Claire was careful not to go out of the established protocols, she had no way of hiding Aizen's presence. So when she felt multiple people approaching their direction, she could only sigh, 'I was hoping it'd be a quiet entrance, but that's impossible, huh?'

They are currently in the vicinity of the Senkaimon(World Penetration Gate) and Claire didn't hesitate to take a sidestep to gain some distance from Aizen.

Aizen, meanwhile, slowly raised his left arm and as he did, a bulky man with a large grin plastered on his face suddenly appeared in front of him, swinging down his tattered blade.

The blade went an inch deep into Aizen's arm, but it didn't go any further, "As brash as ever, Kenpachi Zaraki."

Zaraki's smile went wider and said, "And you're as tough as ever. That's great!" He tried pushing his blade down further but he only advanced by a few millimeters when Aizen's would suddenly start bubbling up and Zaraki had to retreat before his sword got stuck.

Zaraki was about to go in for another attack when he suddenly felt a massive heat source approaching them. When he turned around, Zaraki couldn't help but click his tongue, "Tch... Now the fun's over."

Aizen also didn't do anything and just waited for the old man to reach them.

The moment the old man landed, the bricks under his feet immediately started melting. Before it could get any worse, the flames around him began retracting and the temperature around them slowly came down to normal levels.

The old man, Yamamoto, first both looked at Aizen and Zaraki and sighed before turning to Claire who took some distance and smiled, "Claire. I'm glad to see you doing alright. You're not pushing yourself, are you?"

"I'm fine, grandpa Yamamoto. I'm feeling greater than ever." Claire happily jogged over to him. Now that he's here, she's not too worried about Aizen anymore. If they want to fight, she'll be able to leave with relative ease.

"And why did you come here with him?"

"Uncle Aizen said he had something important to discuss with me and we needed to come to the Soul Society."

Yamamoto was a bit surprised and glanced at Aizen, "Uncle, huh? Anything else?"

"That's all I know."

"I see." Yamamoto nodded in understanding before turning to Aizen, "I presume you're not here to cause any trouble, are you?"

"I have nothing to gain from it." Aizen answered with confidence, "And I'm just doing what Urahara Kisuke wanted me to do."

"Then you don't mind if I give you and Claire a company, do you?"

Aizen shrugged his shoulders, "I don't really care. As long as you don't burn me for no reason."

Yamamoto nodded and turned his head to Zaraki, "Zaraki, save it for later."

Zaraki clicked his tongue again before turning around and walking away. When he disappeared with a Flash Step, Yamamoto talked to Aizen again, "Lead the way."

Aizen also didn't say anything and jumped off the building where the Senkaimon was located. Their destination is the 12th Division Research and Development Center.

While Claire was following them, she wondered why Kunou didn't approach and what she was doing so far away from the Seireitei, 'Must be something important.'

.

.

.

Soon, they arrived at the Research and Development Center and it was strangely deserted with only the small Nemu waiting in front of it, "Welcome, Former Captain-Commander Yamamoto, Former Captain Aizen Sosuke, and Miss Claire Belial. The Captain is waiting, please follow me."

Nemu turned around and started walking ahead. The three of them followed her and Yamamoto asked, "Where are the others?"

"Captain sent them away knowing that they'll start clamoring and was worried that they'll break some equipment if they can't keep their hands to themselves."

"Good call." Yamamoto nodded in agreement. Right now, the Seireitei are divided into 3 groups. The current members of the Gotei 13, the nobles, and those who came from Hell. There's already a strained interaction between the groups due to how things are unfolding and Yamamoto certainly doesn't want to make it more chaotic by throwing Aizen in the middle of it, 'I can probably force them to listen to me... But I can't do that. I'll be undermining Kyouraku's authority.'

Nemu led the three into the inner parts of the facility and soon reached a monitoring room where only Mayuri was present and was watching a world map with various symbols overlaying it, "You're here." He said while turning around, "It's reassuring that you're here too, Former Captain Commander."

"Hooh? Are you sure?" Yamamoto chuckled while rubbing his beard, "It's more believable if you have said that you found my attendance annoying."

Mayuri looked at him strangely and muttered, "You've mellowed out. How unexpected."

"Stepping down was a liberating feeling."

Mayuri let out a short breath. Since he didn't have the time to engage in casual talk, he turned his attention to Aizen, "What happened? Why are they moving out?"

"According to the lady of Sitri, it has something to do with Urahara Kisuke. Meanwhile, they have started preparing something to shield all of the three worlds."

Mayuri and Yamamoto immediately furrowed their brows, meanwhile, Claire made a surprised expression while muttering, "...So that's really Tiamat-neechan... Fully unleashed."

"Explain." Mayuri immediately demanded.

Claire didn't like his demanding tone but there was also no point in keeping it secret, "If the brief aura earlier was really from Tiamat-neechan, then Sera-neechan's actions are understandable.

"I only watched it through a recording, but when I saw Kisuke-niichan, Sera-neechan, and Yoruichi-neechan fight against Tiamat-neechan, then I can confidently say that she's on Ophis-chan's level in her complete form... or maybe even higher.

"She's also a world creator so she's also probably on the same level as your Soul King."

Mayuri, Aizen, and Yamamoto looked at each other and thought that this Tiamat was probably enough to deal with Ichibei if her claims were true.

"However, the most problematic was her ability, the [Sea of Life]. For reasons that I won't explain right now... well, I only heard it from Sera-neechan and Kisuke-niichan so I won't be able to explain it properly either. Her [Sea of Life] was corrupted. Instead of nourishing life, it actively destroys it and gives birth to something else entirely that's very hostile to all other forms of life other than its own."

"Instead of nourishing, it actively destroys them?" Yamamoto couldn't fully understand. On the other hand, Mayuri and Aizen's eyes widened at the implication of her words.

"Well, simply speaking, any life that touches the [Sea of Life] will be consumed and destroyed. And from that destruction, a new life, with the same memories and abilities will be constructed and emerge out of it. All of this reconstructed life will be hostile regardless of their previous alignment."

Yamamoto heard something similar from Jushirou that occurred during the Quincy war, "Do you mean like those Zombies?"

But instead of Claire, it was Mayuri who answered him with a grave expression, "No... They're not similar at all. Zombies are just controlled through their muddled minds, but these things are reconstructed. They are 'natural' and they are not under control."

"So Sitri Serafall wanted a barrier because she's worried that this [Sea of Life] will reach the three worlds?" Aizen asked.

Claire nodded, "It has restrictions like it could only expand on the ocean, but I heard that in the right conditions, it could expand throughout the whole world, drowning everything in it."

Yamamoto is also now realizing the graveness of the situation but he's still confused about something, "Is that something she or Urahara can't control?"

"It's fully under Tiamat-neechan's control... The problem is, that she gets stronger the more she expands the [Sea of Life] because it's essentially expanding her domain of influence and authority. Depending on their opponent, they might need to expand it very far."

章節 1270: Chapter 1270 Preparations

A few moments of silence veiled the room until Yamamoto asked, "Is there anything we can do?"

Mayuri sighed and turned around to return to his work, "Insert ourselves between them? That's impossible. I don't know what Urahara discovered but I'm pretty sure that there's nothing we can do to help him. You know him too, former Captain Commander. He wouldn't dive into that fight alone due to arrogance. Urahara went alone for a reason and it must be a very good reason."

Yamamoto then started making complicated expressions and even without turning around to look at his face, Mayuri could tell what he was thinking, "Are you worried that he might fail?"

Yamamoto was surprised, not because Mayuri guessed it right, but because he didn't think he'd directly mention it in front of Kisuke's young niece. Yamamoto peeked at Claire's expression and could only sigh.

But before he could say anything, Mayuri continued, "And that's the reason why Aizen Sosuke is here right now." Mayuri peeked at Aizen who was making an amused expression, "Am I right?"

"You've looked into it, right? Moving into the world where Urahara and these ladies came from, I mean." Aizen returned his own question.

Claire frowned upon hearing that but she didn't voice out anything. Although she had the inkling of what they were planning to do, she didn't know anything concrete, 'It's normal to plan ahead of various circumstances. There's no need to get upset. I believe in Kisuke-niichan.' She told herself.

Mayuri's hands briefly stopped on Aizen's inquiry but soon resumed pressing on the keyboard in front of him, "That's only natural. I don't know what Ichibei was trying to do, but it's safe to assume it's not for any good. I refuse to stay still with an enormous threat like that looming. If we can't fight that thing, then we can try escaping."

And that's the reason why Mayuri was rushing to move everyone into their new bodies. He needed them to be prepared for escape as soon as possible, "So what do you propose we should do? Urahara has surely left traces or a path to reach that world, but he's not here right now."

"He told me that he needed my help to create that path and I would know how to do it when the time is right. I don't know what he intended to achieve previously, but I know exactly how we'll reach that world."

Mayuri stopped working again and properly faced Aizen this time. He stared at him for a moment before his eyes went sideways and landed on Claire, "...I see. So you will be the 'spear'." Mayuri wondered why Aizen brought Claire with him but soon recalled what he detected and captured through his measuring devices when Kisuke initiated his attack on the [Chained], "And she's our compass."

Aizen nodded, "Something like that, yes."

"Understood. I'll prepare what we'll need so make sure that both of you are prepared."

"I'm glad that it's easy to talk to you."

From their conversation, Claire also understood the role Aizen wanted her to fill, "Although I was able to summon Gabriel-neechan last time, I have no idea how to do that again."

"Don't worry. You accidentally summoning her means that you have an innate connection with her." Mayuri replied, "And these connections often happen in the soul. Where do you think you are?"

[How long has it been?] Benihime asked, feeling bored within the endless blackness. She was first interested in what Kisuke was doing but since he was doing it so slowly, her interest soon fell off. As Kisuke feared, Benihime contracted the worst modern disease introduced by the modern lifestyle, immediate boredom.

"It has been 3 days. However, I'm not actually sure. I don't know if the flow of time was altered in here and even if it's not, I don't know what this transformation did to my perception. For all I know, I might be perceiving time faster or slower than normal. Same with my biological functions. I don't know if my heart is beating slower or faster."

[Then let's assume you're correct, isn't it about time for you to end all of this before that reckless ice lady follows you?]

"Well, I'm also thinking of going out now. I already figured out how I'll pop this bubble and..." Kisuke looked down and saw the black mud which he could hardly see the edge of anymore, "I think this enough."

Right now, Kisuke was standing and looked like a tiny dot in the sphere of black mud that was enough to fill the entirety of the Pacific Ocean several times over, "I'd like to have enough to flood the entirety of Hell, but It'll take months or even years to do that.

[Enough to flood the Hell? Then lucky for them that you don't have enough time to do that.]

"Them?"

[You know, the founding members of the Gotei 13 and their towns filled with people.]

"Ah... Them. No need to worry about them. By this time, they've probably already left Hell."

[Hmmm? How?]

"You're asking that because you're forgetting someone. Though I can't really blame you since you only met her once and she didn't tell you what she planned to do after."

[Stop giving me riddles. Who is it?]

Kisuke stretched his limbs and gave his body a final check, "She's someone as crazy if not more so than you. And you hate her guts for it."

A certain blindfolded individual instantly entered Benihime's mind, [Oh... That crazy bitch? I forgot that I urged them to go to Hell.]

"Even if he doesn't want to, he'll be forced to move and despite his criminal status, he's someone who couldn't let go of his duty of helping his 'comrades'. By now, those guys should have reached Soul Society."

[And how did they move an entire population?]

"It's going to be tough if it's just going to be them, but as long as one of the three girls are present in Soul Society which I'm sure they are, they would have felt their attempt to breach the space. They would be lucky if Kunou-chan is around since she's the one who can do large-scale ritual-style mass teleportation."

At that moment, both Kisuke and Benihime heard Tiamat's sigh, [...It's done. I gave you as much authority as possible. You should be able to summon your 'children' now.]

"...Mine?"

[Yes. Yours. But don't worry. They are not the children that you'd normally think about. They are creatures that reflect your own life.]

28th00: So that’s what Kunou is up to on the outskirts of Soul Society, huh? Also, that ending line is incredibly fucking ominous for very good reasons!
