Chapter 62. The Turmoil at Xiawang Temple (Part 62)

Just minutes earlier, in Room 46 of the Central District, a protracted negotiation that had lasted for months finally came to an end.

Below the stage stood Kasumi Masashi, the head of the Kasumi family, delivering a passionate speech. Beside him stood a Shinigami who did not appear to be in good condition, wearing a skull mask on his face from which faint roars could be heard, and tightly gripping a Baku sword in his hand.

This is the first time that Mayu Kasumi has made his "masterpiece" public.

He wanted to demonstrate to the Central 46 above that he now had complete control over this new power.

"As you can see, this is absolutely a force capable of overturning the existing Soul Society's power structure! Moreover, this force is truly under the complete control of us nobles!"

Kasumi Masahiro made no attempt to hide his emphasis on the latter half of the sentence.

It is almost self-evident who it is referring to.

However, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the captain-commander of the Gotei 13, located on the right, only slightly dilated and contracted his pupils before showing no further reaction.

"The Soul Society already has enough of our Gotei 13. We don't need a new force, much less this dangerous thing you've developed!"

However, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni did not intend to express his opinion, but Yoruichi Shihouin, the captain of the Second Division who was also present, showed great dislike.

The Shinigami becoming a Hollowfied—how dangerous is that?
Having heard Urahara Kisuke describe it before, she knew very well that this was something that should never be forgiven.

Unfortunately, the person who did this was Kasumi Masashi, currently the head of a top noble family in Soul Society, second only to the five great noble families.

Furthermore, not only has Kasumi Masashi perfected this matter to such an extent, he has also precisely seized control of the other nobles.

That was Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

This is the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society in a thousand years.

No matter how loyal Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni appeared to be, to these nobles standing on the throne of power, Yamamoto was never one of their own.

This is also one of the reasons why they spare no effort in placing noble members in the Gotei 13 and recommending them to be captains.

If they could possess a high-powered fighting force that was entirely subordinate to their nobles and only subject to their control.
It has to be said that many of the people in the Central 46th Bureau were tempted.

Some people are even regretting that they shouldn't have let Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni attend today's meeting.

With the decision still pending, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, sitting in the audience, suddenly spoke up, "I have only one request: the future Bakuyoshu members cannot be chosen from among the active Shinigami."

Yamamoto knew that if the decision was still rejected this time, the verdict should have been handed down long ago. The reason why those people on the stage had not made a decision yet was simply because of his presence.

As expected, after Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni stated his request, Kasumioji Mayu's request was quickly won by a large margin.

With the verdict read aloud by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the establishment of the Bakushu sect will become an undeniable fact.

Upon receiving the verdict, Kasumi Masashi was extremely excited. The Baku clan had been established, and his title as the sixth noble was not far off.

Or rather, it's the title of the new fifth noble family, because Kasumi Mayu has heard that many people from the other four noble families have already expressed their dissatisfaction with the Shiba family.

However, before Kasumi Mayu's wonderful fantasy could reach its climax, the terrifying spiritual pressure and explosion outside shattered his illusions.

"It's terrible, Captain-Commander! A humanoid creature that appears to be an Arrancar but also possesses a Zanpakuto has appeared within the Kasumi clan's territory!" Soon after, a blood-soaked Shinigami burst into the Central 46 Chambers and reported to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

Because the trial of the Kasumi family was conducted in secret, these ordinary Shinigami were unaware of the existence of Hollowfication Shinigami.

But at this moment, everyone in the Central Room 46 was fully aware of the situation.

"Impossible! As long as their Mo Yao Blade is still intact, it can completely suppress the etherealization within their bodies, achieving an absolute balance between the two! This is the result we've achieved in all these experiments without a single exception!"

Kasumi Masahiro roared and rushed forward to grab the ordinary Shinigami, but was blocked by a huge, imposing figure.

"I'm afraid that won't work now, Lord Masashi of the Kasumioji family!"

The captain of the 8th Division, Kyoraku Shunsui, had eyes like a wolf, as if he wanted to devour Kasumi Ōji Mayu whole.

In an instant, chaos erupted on the stage. No one expected such a thing to happen, especially given the timing.

Because Mayu Kasumi revealed in advance that she was going to drop some bombshells today, the Central 46 Chambers unusually gathered a total of seven captains here, including even Kenpachi Zaraki, the captain of the 11th Division whom they previously looked down upon.

As a result, outside the Central 46th Bureau, only the 13th Division Captain Jushiro Ukitake, whose health was poor and who needed to be stationed in the human world for a long time, remained.

Kiryu Hikifune, the captain of the 12th Division, is focused on his research.

Rennosuke Kamikawa, the captain of the Third Division, was reserved for emergency support.

Captain Maki Kurato of the 10th Division, responsible for daily security work;

Retsu Unohana, the captain of the Fourth Division, who specializes in medical care;

And Kensei Mukkale, the captain of the Ninth Division who is in charge of the prison.

Very few captains are capable of quickly providing support to the noble district.

Almost everyone thought of one thing: was this something that Kasumi Masashi did intentionally?

"I absolutely did not have that thought!"

As the head of the family, Kasumi Masashi was certainly aware of this.
Even if his followers truly possessed that ability, he had no motive. What benefit would it bring him to obtain a shattered Soul Society?

just
At the Kasumioji family's residence in Seireitei, Higashino Shuichi, holding the Baku-yōtō Raihō, looked at the Shinigami in front of him who had completely fallen into Hollowfication and lost his mind due to the loss of the Baku-yōtō's restraint. He smiled coldly, and at his feet was a broken Baku-yōtō, its core being devoured by Raihō.

"Kasumi Masashi certainly wouldn't be arrogant enough to rebel outright, but he forgot that things have come to this point, and someone has no choice but to rebel; otherwise, he too will only be destined for the Sogyoku Hills."

"Someone has to pay the price for this. It's either Kasumi Masashi or Kumoi Yosuke. The gears have already started turning, and there's no way they'll stop."

Standing beside Higashino Shuichi, Aizen looked up at the heavens above.
"I just don't know if they'll be satisfied with this magnificent scenery!"

"It will definitely happen, Lord Aizen. If you think there isn't enough noble blood, then fill it with the captain's blood!"

As Higashino Shuichi's initial release unfolds, he sees Maki Kurato, the captain of the 10th Division, rushing to provide support, through the perspective of the spirit beings summoned from Peach Blossom Spring.
