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

Chapter 286 285: This is the highest peak of the three realms
What is your answer?

As he stammered this question, the person's expression became surprisingly subtle.

Still need to ask?

As for this issue, Arima Shizuya's thoughts have not changed at all from beginning to end.

Isn't it just to exchange the smallest effort for the happiness of everyone, all the hard work and sacrifices we have made so far, step by step, to achieve happiness for everyone?

Yhwach should not destroy this world.

It shouldn't hurt anyone.

Taking a deep breath, Arima Shizuka slowly raised her head and turned her gaze to the figure in the amber.

"I choose...my own way."

The person involved is fully aware of the difficulty of his decision...

Because in the information conveyed by the Soul King, he has seen countless timelines of Yhwach's victory.

This proportion has even reached a level that is enough to make people despair.

To be honest, this is definitely not an exaggeration... However, for Arima Shizuya, he didn't seem to be too surprised.

After all, think about it carefully.

The plot in the original novel itself is the result of many coincidences.

Yhwach, who has absorbed the Soul King, has opened his three pupils, and his omniscience and omnipotence have been strengthened to the point where he can completely open up the timeline, thereby influencing the reality of the 'future' from the 'present'.

Breaking Strawberry-san's Zanpakutō countless times is the most powerful evidence.

If we analyze it this way...

According to the Soul King's script, by analyzing it step by step, Arima Shizuka will be able to know the specific content.

——The necessary condition to defeat Yhwach is that there must be three of them.

First, it is an absolutely powerful force that is strong enough to cut off all life.

Second, it helps to blind perception and divert Youhabach's attention.

Third, a silver arrow that was stripped of its divinity and contained the Quincy's wrath.

Perhaps in that case, more "coincidence" is needed to achieve such a result. But judging from the process, these three factors definitely played a crucial role.

Well, if we follow Arima Shizuya's own ideas...

He must be prepared for these three aspects.

Thoughts rose and fell in his mind, and even Arima Shizuya's expression became a little confused.

His brows furrowed unconsciously, and a sense of déjà vu came to his mind at this moment... just like when he first entered the battlefield.

Finding a way to escape from countless possibilities and implementing this process perfectly is Arima Shizuya's final "task".

This is also where the answer he wants to give to the Spirit King lies.

Through the communication of thoughts, in a flash, Arima Shizuka revealed her plan.

The figure in the amber has not changed at all.

The person concerned felt that his information was like a signal transmitted into the boundless space, which could not cause the slightest ripple and did not receive any response.

Just when he was doubting whether he had really conveyed the message, Hyoshubu Ichibei, who had been silent beside him until then, suddenly took half a step forward.

"Arima Shizuya, the Soul King has agreed to your proposal."

"...?"

Instead of explaining it to me directly, you contacted Monk Yan unilaterally?

Before his thoughts could fully come to a state of concentration, Hyoshubu Ichibei nodded slightly and spoke to Arima Shizuka.

"Spirit King also revealed your plan to me... I see. It's a very bold idea, and it's definitely not an easy path."

The act itself.

It's like the responsibility of all the people in the three realms...

It's like putting everything on my shoulders.

"That's convincing, Arima Shizuya... As a subordinate of the Spirit King, I express my sincere gratitude to you."

He bowed slightly, and the expression on Hyoshubu Ichibei's face became extremely serious.

"You do have the suffering and future of all beings in the three realms in your heart. If possible, I would like someone like you to serve as the next Spirit King."

Ah... although it sounds a bit touching.

But let’s forget it.

"Seal me in there, unable to move, to witness the rise and fall of the three realms, forever?"

Arima Shizuka also raised her hand and patted the back of her head, revealing a rather helpless smile.

"My realm is probably not as high as yours, so let's forget about it for now."

"Hahaha! What you said is really interesting... Very good! Arima Shizuya, on behalf of the Soul King Palace and Squad Zero, I fully approve of your plan."

There was no need for much verbal communication. For the three parties who had already exchanged thoughts countless times, their intentions were already extremely obvious.

So, now is the time to consider the next arrangements.

"Arima Shizuya...what do you think about this?"

The person pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to the vast sky not far away.

"As expected...it's better to have a fight."

He entered the Palace of the Spirit King in full view of everyone.

Such rumor-mongering behavior is bound to attract the attention of Youhabach and others.

If he returned safely like this, even if he could explain it to his own people, the Quincy and others would surely think that there would be a lot of tricks hidden in it that could be deciphered.

Before the entire plan begins, change the flow direction to the minimum extent possible... This is also the guarantee that Arima Shizuya gave to the Soul King.

Hyoshubu Ichibei seemed quite satisfied with this answer.

"I see. Although the Soul King Palace cannot be monitored by those people, this is indeed the safest course of action."

So it’s so winding.

In the end, you still can't escape from doing it?
A rather helpless smile appeared on Arima Shizuya's face, but at the same time, he felt extremely happy.

Because he already knew that his efforts were not in vain.

Arima Shizuya's efforts were even recognized by the Soul King, and the legitimacy of such behavior... is absolutely beyond doubt.

The spiritual upliftment is definitely far better than any material encouragement.

"Then please follow me outside the palace."

That playful and strange smile appeared on Hyoshubu Ichibei's face again.

"After all, if we fight like this in front of the Spirit King... I will lose all my reputation after all these years~"

He made some playful jokes to lighten the mood. But after that… Hyoshubu Ichibei's tone suddenly dropped.

"But, Arima Shizuya... please do not forget the other promise you made to the Soul King."

The person was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Yes, I know."

- Never reveal your plans to anyone.

Since the copyright of the script has been handed over to Shizuya Arima, he can naturally make modifications and corrections to it boldly.

However, the Spiritual King did not give him all the "rights".

There are also many restrictions.

The content of the plan cannot be revealed to others, even the three important points of the core figures.

Even the prison master and Ichigo had to keep it a secret.

Although she didn't quite understand why the Spirit King did this at first, Arima Shizuka soon figured it out.

This is also a preparation made to prevent unexpected situations.

Although it was in Arima Shizuya's plan, he was already prepared to prevent Yhwach from absorbing the Soul King and opening his three pupils.

But things always go unexpectedly...if the plot goes out of control again.

Yhwach, who has fully touched the timeline and knows the direction of the future, will also stand on the shoulders of the Soul King and have a "clear view" of Arima Shizuya's plan.

"I'm sorry, Arima Shizuya, but this is also what the Soul King asked."

Hyoshubu Ichibei raised his right hand and gently touched his temple.

"Not only me, but even the Spirit King will do the same."

"We will modify this memory of our communication with you and completely eliminate your plan."

“The Soul King’s power can ensure that Yhwach will not find any trace of us, but at the same time… I and others will completely forget the agreement between us.”

Things like this. "Can you accept this, Arima Shizuya?"

Hyoshubu Ichibei was by no means a man of indecisiveness.

But this matter involves many things and he cannot act rashly.

"If you want to give up, now is the only time."

"If you nod again, you will completely lose any help you can provide."

"The Shinigami will spurn you, Hueco Mundo will not have a place for you, and the Quincy will see you as a thorn in their side..."

How pitiful.

"You will become the enemy of all three realms."

Just like Yhwach who was born without blessings, this time, Arima Shizuka did not have the power called holiness.

Everything.

Everything depends on him alone to make plans and changes.

Even Arima Shizuka, who had already made all preparations, knew deeply what this behavior meant.

At this moment, I couldn't help but close my eyes and take a deep breath...

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Things have developed to this point, shouldn't I be prepared?

The answer has been clear from the beginning!

……

Probably after a pause of an incense stick.

Above this silent and vast sky, in front of the Spirit King's Palace.

Violent roars and noises were heard at this moment.

boom! ! !
Amid the echo that seemed to shake the heaven and earth, the people living in the Palace of the Spirit King walked out of their rooms one after another and gazed upwards.

Ordinary people cannot see things that are too profound. They can only witness with their own eyes a figure being fiercely knocked out of the palace...

Flipping awkwardly in the air.

The supporting pillars were completely smashed to pieces and turned into flying powder in the air.

The figure twisted its body awkwardly in the air, trying to keep its balance in this way...

However, it was only after flying dozens of meters away that it managed to stabilize its body.

"Gu..."

Arima Shizuka, who was standing in the air, raised her hand dejectedly and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

What a headache...

Should we just take action when there is a problem with memory?

I really don't know whether to praise Monk Yan, the chief steward of the Spirit King Palace, for his diligence, or whether this guy is really cruel and ruthless.

He maintained a smiling look and suddenly decided to take action!
It makes people wonder whether this guy has processed his own memory... Or, has he been planning to attack him from the beginning? !
Squinting her eyes slightly in pain, Arima Jing stood up straight and tried to touch her waist and abdomen.

It still hurts a lot. My kidney was almost kicked off.

While expressing his emotion, Arima Jing was also thinking in his heart.

Although it is said that a monk with a blind eye has a black heart, if we really pursue it, it should be the other way around.

I was too careless.

I was clearly prepared to fight alone, but I didn't even anticipate this calculation.

You still have to continue practicing and working hard, Arima Shizuya.

While the person was lost in thought, Aizen Sosuke, who was not far away, had already arrived in front of him.

"Shizuya-kun, what happened?"

Looking at the other person's slightly frowned brows, Arima Jing couldn't help but choke for a moment.

The words between Hyōshūbu Ichibei and the Soul King not long ago still lingered in his mind...

You no longer have any companions, Arima Shizuya.

"No, it's nothing... I was just careless for a moment and was tricked by the stinky monk."

Aizen forced himself to smile and act normal. Although he wanted to ask more questions, in front of the Soul King Palace not far away...

Hyoshubu Ichibei had already strode to the entrance, with his hands folded across his chest with a serious expression.

"The disrespectful person actually attempted to murder Lord Spiritual King."

"You have disregarded the goodwill of our Zero Squad and the Soul King, and committed such an evil act..."

"The three realms will not tolerate it!"

Boom!
There was a muffled sound.

Hyoshubu Ichibei held a wide, pen-shaped Zanpakutō in his hand, his bright red eyes fixed on Arima Shizuya.

Even the tone became extremely cold.

"Zero Squad, everyone move out."

"Don't worry, just go for it..."

"The one who offended the Spirit King must be captured!"

Although I don't understand what kind of magic potion the monk has given himself.

But this guy's hostility is real.

Arima Shizuka even suspected that this guy was positioning him towards the role of Yhwach.

It is estimated that during this period...

Even if the founder of the Quincy came in person, his level of hatred would only be this high, right?
Although everyone present was a little surprised, the reaction of Squad Zero was the most intuitive.

The expressions of the four divine generals cooled down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The four Death Gods who have entrusted their souls and bodies to the Soul King Palace and are in charge of the peace and stability of a region, their duty is...

It is to protect the safety of the Soul King.

In this way, I am just performing my duties.

Arima Shizuka was not surprised by this result, but what bothered him the most at the moment was... Aizen Sosuke beside him.

The prison warden's personality is difficult to fool, and at times like this, the other party can sense that something is wrong.

"Shizuya-kun, you shouldn't have done such a thing."

Aizen calmly put his hands down, just looked at the four gods in the distance, and stood beside Arima Shizuya.

It is not a question, but an attributive.

"I don't think a man like you would do something irrational like that."

"So...did something unexpected happen?"

"And you're talking about some unexplainable circumstances?"

Sometimes being too smart can be a headache - Arima Shizuka is also deeply aware of the meaning of this sentence.

He struggled for a while, racking his brains to find some words to explain.

Aizen Sosuke had already spoken.

"No, let's not explain it at this time. Let's find a way to deal with these people first... Shizuya-kun, concentrate."

It's time to do it.

Although in terms of results, this is definitely the best direction.

But... a bit of reluctance and bitterness surged into Arima Shizuya's heart.

The Soul King was right in front of him, but Aizen couldn't go forward to talk to him or communicate with him...

"I'm sorry, Mr. Aizen..."

"It's not something to apologize for, Shizuya-kun. I was already prepared before I came up here."

The past is an old dream in this mortal world. If we stop moving forward, isn’t that a step backward?
Look forward.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Aizen said without turning his head.

"It is regrettable that I cannot meet the Spirit King, but since things have developed to this point..."

"Why should we depend on others for our lives?"

"You and I are here. This is the highest peak of the Three Realms."
