Chapter 274 The Man with Numbers Engraved on Him
In the following period of time, the Gotei 13 did not immediately launch large-scale operations, but instead arranged the affairs within the Soul Society first.
The Central Forty-six Chambers have been completely destroyed, and the forty sages and six judges need to be re-elected. However, this is a matter between those nobles and has nothing to do with the Gotei 13. What the Gotei 13 need to do is to deal with the various troubles caused by the vacancy of the Central Forty-six Chambers during this period, and they also need to repair the Soul Society.
Because of this disaster, many buildings in Seireitei were destroyed, and the Double Killing Hill even collapsed. Not to mention that Aize also cut the entire Seireitei in half in order to break the anti-membrane. These things all need to be rebuilt.
Many places have even become ruins. Even if they are not rebuilt, the ruins must be cleared away, otherwise it will affect the environment and the operation of Soul Society.
Of course, these are just small matters. After the captains and vice-captains of each team have recovered from their injuries and are discharged from the hospital, with their personal follow-up, the work will surely go smoothly. The real trouble is the ravine cut by Aize. It is so deep that it is like an abyss, and the crack is so large that it is almost impossible to fill it.
In desperation, the Gotei 13 could only repair the outer walls of the Seireitei, and the abyss that divided the Seireitei into two was left as it was, with bridges built across it to connect the two parts of the Seireitei.
This made many Shinigami have a deeper understanding of Aize's power, and discussions about him in private became more frequent. Some gossipers even exposed the fact that he defeated the captain-general Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, making Aize's reputation unprecedentedly huge during this period of time.
Under such circumstances, the title of the oldest god of death in the Gotei 13 still belongs to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, but the title of the strongest god of death has been silently transferred to Aize.
After many captains learned about this, they discovered that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni might have been secretly fanning the flames and spreading rumors, which made them start to imagine wildly.
As the central figure of the discussion, there have been significant changes around Aize.
First of all, he found that no matter where he went, people treated him with great admiration and awe, and the respect they showed him had at least increased by two levels compared to the past.
Secondly, the members of the third team are more proud and proud when they walk outside. They have a feeling of holding their heads high and feeling honored. They are the focus wherever they go.
There are also many Shinigami among the students of the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy who declare that they want to join the Third Division after graduation. The dean even replaced his statue with a larger and more luxurious one, and had his deeds written down in a book to be used as teaching materials.
When the members of the First Team saw him, they were both angry and surprised, and their expressions were quite complicated.
In short, he became more eye-catching and more awe-inspiring than before.
Even those famous nobles could no longer be arrogant when they saw him. They all wanted to bow their heads to the ground, even the four great nobles.
After hearing that he could give up Chanting No. 91's broken path, the Kidōshu people sent people to contact him more than once, wanting him to give lectures in the Kidōshu people. The stealthy and mobile people also did not dare to hang around him and monitor him openly, because they knew that this was a man who used instant movement better than their own commander-in-chief.
In this way, changes were happening quietly and very quickly, making Aize feel like he was about to dominate the entire Soul Society.
However, Aize did not change anything in response to these situations. It would remain the same as before.
He went to the comprehensive treatment center to visit Abarai Renji, Kira Izuru and others, and even went to visit Rukia. As a result, he found that Kuchiki Byakuya also went to see Rukia. The two seemed to have talked about a lot of things. After the talk, their relationship had obviously eased, as if until this moment, they had truly become brother and sister.
"Did that Ice Face tell the truth?"
Aize soon understood what was going on.
Byakuya Kuchiki has been hiding one thing: Rukia is actually the sister of his deceased wife.
He adopted Rukia as his sister because she looked very much like his first wife, but in fact, he adopted Rukia because of his deceased wife's last wish.
When Rukia was young, his wife abandoned her because life was too difficult. Later, after she married into the Kuchiki family, she began to look for Rukia, but she was unable to fulfill her wish before she died of illness. She could only place this wish on her husband and ask him to help her fulfill it.
So, after discovering Rukia, a student at the Shinō Spiritual Arts Academy who looked almost exactly like his first wife, Byakuya Kuchiki immediately realized her identity and decided to adopt her.
This naturally caused great dissatisfaction among the Kuchiki family.
As the head of the four great noble families, the status of the Kuchiki family needs no elaboration. And as the most outstanding heir among all the heads of the Kuchiki family, there is no reason for Byakuya Kuchiki to find two commoners from Rukongai, whether he wants to marry a wife or adopt a sister.
For the sake of his first wife and his abandoned sister, Byakuya Kuchiki violated the family rules twice and married Rukia's sister and adopted Rukia. It is conceivable how many things this caused.
Therefore, Byakuya Kuchiki once swore in front of his grandfather that he would never violate the rules again and would become a qualified head of the Kuchiki family and a role model for all the Shinigami in the future. This suppressed the numerous voices and dissatisfaction.
This is why Byakuya Kuchiki didn't plead for Rukia this time.
He no longer dared to break the rules and would not go against the rules and order. No matter how painful it was in his heart, he had to follow the decision of the Central 46th Room and sentence Rukia to death.
Now that the truth has come to light, it was all Aizen Sosuke who was behind all this, so there was naturally no reason for Rukia to be executed. Kuchiki Byakuya explained the reason and told her the truth.
"Wouldn't it be better if we did this earlier?"
After making this comment, Aize turned and left.
As for Rukia, let Abarai Renji and Kuchiki Byakuya take care of her. He didn't want to spoil the fun.
Afterwards, he took some time to visit Ichigo Kurosaki and his friends, but he did not stay for long, nor did he try to make friends with them. He just said a few words of comfort and left.
He and Kurosaki Ichigo were not familiar with each other, they had only fought once. He was not very familiar with Kurosaki Ichigo's father either, so there was no need to act like they were very familiar with each other.
Ichigo Kurosaki and others will leave Soul Society and return to the human world soon, which may trigger a new round of turmoil.
Aize has no interest in interfering in Ichigo Kurosaki's affairs. He just wants to wait for Aizen Sosuke to make a comeback, or wait for the Gotei 13 to recover before officially launching a crusade against Hueco Mundo and Aizen.
Later, Hitsugaya Toshiro officially took over as the captain of the Tenth Division, and Matsumoto Rangiku returned to the position of vice-captain of the Tenth Division, filling the vacancy left after Ichimaru Gin betrayed Soul Society and stabilizing the situation of the Tenth Division.
As for the 5th and 9th squads, the captain positions of these two squads are vacant.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni wanted to fill these two positions quickly so that the Gotei 13 could face Aizen Sosuke at their peak, but without suitable candidates, he had no other choice.
Abarai Renji has mastered incomplete Bankai, and his strength is still a little short of the real captain level. None of the other Shinigami are suitable for the position of captain. Unless someone deliberately hides his strength and comes to expose it, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni would rather have nothing than something unqualified.
Therefore, in the end, the captain positions of the 5th and 9th squads remained vacant. Even after Ichigo Kurosaki and others returned to the human world and some time had passed, they still had not chosen a suitable candidate.
Just as Soul Society was making all kinds of preparations in full swing, the situation finally took a new turn...
…………
In the present world, Karakura Town.
This is a modern town, not big but not small either. It cannot be called prosperous, so there are no high-rise buildings everywhere, but it cannot be called backward either, as there are houses everywhere, making it seem more popular than Soul Society.
Unfortunately, the people living here don’t know that the town they live in has become the center of a huge storm.
In recent times, the Soul Society has been paying close attention to this town, and has dispatched many powerful Death Gods to stay here secretly to be ready to deal with any possible unrest at any time.
On this day, in one corner of Karakura Town, space was torn apart.
A black cavity appeared here, and several figures slowly walked out of it.
"Is this Karakura Town?"
A man who looked extremely unruly and arrogant was the first to speak.
The man had messy light blue hair and a pair of sky blue eyes, a few bangs on his forehead, lake green eye shadow lines on his face, a strong body, a broken mask with arranged teeth on his right cheek, a tattoo of the number "6" on the lower right side of his waist, and a pitch-black hole on his abdomen. He looked quite scary.
"It's not that great. Is this really the spiritual place that Lord Aizen has chosen?"
A rude man with dark skin and black hair, a huge body, four oddly shaped protrusions on the top of his head, symmetrical red markings on both sides of his cheeks, a mask shaped like a mandible on his chin, a dark hole in the center of his chest, and a number "10" engraved on his left shoulder followed closely behind and made a disdainful sound.
“Let’s get started.”
A man with short black hair and green eyes, pale skin, unique dark green tear-like lines on his face, the number "4" engraved on his left chest, and a horned helmet-like mask on the left half of his head, ignored their speeches and spoke briefly.
Powerful spiritual pressure fluctuated on their bodies, and each of them was at the captain level, or even exceeded the captain level!
A new disaster appeared at this moment.
