Bleach: The Captain of the Fifth Division Becomes Stronger Through Training.

Chapter 242: 241: Eight Methods of Ghost Dao: Annihilation of Heaven and Earth

Standing above the earth and under the dome.

A brilliant and sparkling blue torrent surrounded Arima Shizuya's body, and his eyes reflected a calm light like the surface of a lake.

The unprecedented sense of fullness adjusted Arima Shizuya's spirit and thoughts to an incredible state.

The unprecedented feeling made Arima Shizuka enter a very subtle hazy state.

It is difficult to describe this situation in words - even without turning your head and looking around.

Everything in the air.

However, all of it was "absorbed" without any reduction and taken into Arima Shizuya's senses.

You can 'see' the soldiers running around, dealing with injuries and dangerous situations.

Can 'hear' the injured calling for help and assistance, waiting for help and assistance.

The air seemed to be the tentacles extended from Arima Shizuya, allowing him to touch all things as if he were experiencing them personally.

Correct……

It's everything.

"Sure enough, I was right..."

Although there is no clear organization or research, it shows that there are more obvious differences in the gaps between spiritual pressure.

But it’s just myself and Master Lao’s related research and exploration over the years.

Both sides have already made a rough inference about the direction.

——The strength of spiritual pressure, in essence, is a difference in the sense of the soul.

Even the gap between living creatures is quite exaggerated.

A simple example.

If the weight of the soul of an 'ant' is one.

Then an ordinary wandering soul may number in the hundreds.

Let’s go deeper.

How can we measure the God of Death who has the qualifications to practice and can become stronger through training?

Different from the real world where humans live, it needs to maintain balance and stability.

In this spiritual place... there are powerful individuals with abundant spiritual pressure.

This is the unquestionable proof of strength.

Topics that are too profound are not suitable to be discussed in depth at this moment.

But at this moment, Arima Shizuya could be sure of one very deep belief.

With years of planning and arrangements, he has finally dismantled all the spirit particles in the entire Soul Society and used them for his own purposes.

Arima Shizuya's soul level was elevated to an unprecedented level at this moment.

however.

This doesn't mean that he doesn't have to pay any price.

Soon, Arima Jing also noticed something was wrong...

Raise your hand and shake it lightly.

Just repeating this simple action made Arima Shizuya frown slightly.

He 'felt' too many things.

It's... not just something as simple as sound.

One by one, dotted around, they look like the faint stars twinkling in the Milky Way.

It was revealed bit by bit, leaving a clear spot of light in Arima Shizuya's mind.

In just a moment, I knew everything.

This is the shape of the soul and the proof of the survival of the Other.

At this moment, Arima Shizuya is able to rely on his own power to sense the traces of other people's souls!

The situation is far more troublesome than originally thought.

Because Arima Jing was unable to digest this vast amount of information - the amount of information revealed by the soul was too huge, and these disturbing information contents became the main point that disturbed her mind.

My head was already starting to sweat.

Such subtle changes were captured by all the masters present at this moment.

People from both camps made corresponding statements.

Tosen and Ichimaru Gin almost subconsciously wanted to move towards Arima Shizuya.

In the end, Aizen reached out and blocked him on the spot.

"This is part of Shizuya-kun's plan. Please respect his personal choice."

To say that I'm not worried would be a lie.

But compared to this kind of unlimited tolerance, what Aizen appreciates more is... the will of those who are willing to accompany him.

Giving respect to others is the basis of Aizen's attitude towards his friends.

And on the side.

Kyoraku Shunsui lowered the bamboo hat on his head and made a judgment almost instantly.

"Captain Unohana, there has been no movement from Master Shan for quite some time... He must have been trapped by some means."

Therefore.

"I'll leave that to you."

Unohana Retsu remained calm and at this moment he simply released his Zanpakutō and fell down with it.

"As for the rest of you..."

After a pause, the captain of the 8th Division's tone suddenly became grim.

"Although for safety reasons, it is not recommended to engage in close combat with the opponent..."

"But in this case, please prepare your own ghost ways."

"Be prepared to attack at any time."

The sudden order made some people present look at each other in confusion, and only Soi-Fong asked in confusion.

"Why……"

"Would you choose to suddenly strike at a time like this?"

It is not difficult to guess other people's thoughts, especially since the other party is the captain of the second team who is known for being 'easy to understand' and 'simple'.

"Since there is no extra time, I will make it short."

Kyoraku Shunsui's eyes were sharp as he scanned the surroundings, looking at the ruined scene while speaking rapidly.

"It is currently known that Arima Shizuka has also destroyed the Soul Society and has taken all the spirit particles for his own use..."

"It's no exaggeration to say that with this level of power, it would be absolutely easy to kill us."

"But the other party didn't do that, which can only mean one thing."

Shifengyuan Yoruichi stood at the edge of Mingwang's palm, looking into the distance, and spoke with a complicated look.

"Because this guy...has other intentions."

"Besides this, I'm afraid there is no other explanation."

At this time, it doesn't matter whether it is good or bad, right or wrong.

"Stopping this guy's behavior will definitely have its significance."

——What if Ma Jing has no ill intentions?
Although some people did have such thoughts in their minds, who could say them out loud?
The Soul Society was destroyed and the area where the Shinigami lived was razed to the ground.

Arima Shizuya today.

He has completely stood on the side of the god of death.

As they stared at each other, Kuchiki Byakuya, who had remained silent until then, suddenly spoke.

"Is it possible that the Arima Shizuka we saw was also an illusion created by the mirror flower and water moon?"

"Of course."

Beneath the forced calm tone, Kyoraku Shunsui forced a smile as if to comfort himself.

“But that’s no reason for us to sit back and wait.”

The weapon has been grasped by the opponent, and they are the first line of defense against the opponent.

"Not only has our Gotei 13 been infiltrated, but even our base has been razed to the ground."

"Really... there should be a limit to how much embarrassment one can have."

"Of course, although it may kill some innocent people."

But it has to be done.

Otherwise, it would be a disgrace to the Gotei.

Silence brewed in the air, and soon a more intense atmosphere formed. Without any communication, the captains present responded based on their own will.

"Wait……"

Ichigo Kurosaki wanted to say something, but Yoruichi beside him covered his mouth.

"If you don't want to help, it's best to keep quiet at this time, kid."

Standing outside the captain's team, the two consciously retreated to a position where they would not hinder the behavior of others.

And at the moment when all actions are formed and settled.

Arima Shizuya, who captures and senses all words and actions.

At this moment, the plan of the Gotei 13 also became clear.

--I see.

Should I say that he is worthy of being the future captain? Or is it simply because... I went too far.

At this point, the other party seems to be ready to sacrifice some people.

All the things in the past came to mind, and Arima Shizuya couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.

Although I feel emotional.

But it has not yet reached the point of 'giving up resistance'.

after all……

This was also within the expectations of the parties involved.

"Well... it's only natural that I'm hated."

After all, what I have done is indeed worthy of being treated this way by everyone.

The slightly distracted thoughts gradually calmed down along with the breathing frequency until it returned to the original calm state.

Arima Jing didn't have any extra time to pay attention to these unimportant things.

Because the situation was unexpectedly somewhat 'urgent'.

The Eight Ghost Techniques will not be able to trap Shan Ye for too long. Now with the help of Unohana Retsu, I am afraid that the opponent will be able to kill him again soon.

Although the long-range attacks of the other Gotei captains were not worthy of attention, for safety reasons, we still had to pay some attention to them...

As his thoughts fluctuated, Arima Shizuya focused most of his attention.

They are all gathered in the tentacle-like perception range.

where?

You guy...

"Where is it hidden?"

With eyes closed, he uttered something like a dream whisper.

The azure spiritual energy that lingered around Arima Shizuya's body also began to slowly sink like a calm lake.

Driving spirit particles like toys is not just the specialty of the Shinigami, but it is what the Quincies are best at.

So, let me ask a question here.

Among the Quincies, what is the name of the person who can wield spirit particles as if they were his own arms and use them to the utmost?

"Youha... Bach..."

The ultimate boss of the Thousand Year Blood War arc, he connects the whole story and claims to be the ancestor of the Quincy.

In the future, there will be a terrifying person who possesses omniscient and omnipotent power and controls everything.

He is the ultimate goal that Arima Shizuya has been planning for many years.

'The Invisible Empire lurks in the shadow of the Seireitei.'

This has already been described in the original work, and without this hint, even someone as strong as Yamamoto or Aizen would never be able to detect the other party's existence.

The use of shadows and the ability to lie dormant as an Avenger... the ancestor of the Quincy showed unparalleled talent in this regard.

Arima Shizuka also knows very well who her ultimate opponent will be.

The open hostility, the so-called Gotei 13... is not his target.

He just wanted to find the Quincy hiding in the shadows.

countless times.

Arima Shizuka also made countless deductions and calculations in the deserted night.

Trying to find traces of the Invisible Empire through many means.

But in the end there was no clear direction or definite useful solution...

Although it is possible to give Kurotsuchi Mayuri hints so that he can research and make breakthroughs in these contents.

But as we all know, whether it is Kurotsuchi Mayuri, Urahara Kisuke, or Aizen Sosuke.

None of the three can be easily manipulated.

After knowing the existence of the Invisible Empire, a series of chain reactions are inevitable.

Therefore, Arima Shizuka must choose from among these many options an approach that has the highest probability of success and can solve the problem once and for all.

After much ups and downs of thinking, the answer is here.

The entire Seireitei was demolished.

There is no entity that can shelter from the wind and rain.

The so-called "shadow" should naturally have nowhere to hide.

Whispering the man's name, Arima Shizuya's eyes flickered for a moment, and then...

Then he suddenly turned in one direction.

And at this moment, when his eyes opened, Arima Shizuya's pupils began to tremble slightly.

As if vaguely.

This pitch-black pupil was about to split into two, which was extremely exaggerated!

——Some things that cannot be reached by the naked eye will always be hidden in the most insidious and gloomy posture in places that ordinary people cannot reach.

The disguise is so deep that the methods are naturally extremely sophisticated.

just.

"It's not easy to hide your soul."

It's like constantly searching and fiddling in a dense river of stars.

Until the very last moment... a blazing ball of light was glimpsed.

The gap between stars and debris.

There is no possibility of "seeing it wrongly".

At this moment, a faint smile finally appeared on Arima Shizuya's confused expression.

found it.

At the same time...

He calmly raised his left hand towards the sun.

As if supporting the entire world, Arima Shizuya's body began to exert force uncontrollably.

Seireitei... No.

It has disappeared now, and it can be said that only ruins are left.

There was another dizzying roar.

In order to accurately target the Invisible Empire, and also to ensure that their attack is 'foolproof'.

Arima Shizuka also gathered all the spirit particles transformed by Seireitei in her hands at this moment.

The majestic and powerful force began to roll continuously.

The Soul Society at this moment is like a raging sea with waves getting louder and louder!

They have all begun to tremble slightly.

This is a manifestation of the ultimate use of strength. At the same time... the light stream lingering around Arima Shizuka's body also flows at this moment and converges in his palm.

The pupil that was about to split returned to its original state, and the subtle sense of divinity also disappeared at this moment.

He turned back into the original Arima Shizuya.

At this moment he let out a long breath.

This is the final move, and it is also the result of my many years of planning and hard work.

There is no helper, no reinforcements.

This is a battlefield that belongs only to Arima Shizuya.

Looking at the empty space ahead, Arima Shizuka spoke word by word.
