The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 507 Situation

The captains gathered together and discussed the situation, each putting forward their own opinions and response strategies.

Some advocate taking the initiative, finding the enemy's weaknesses and delivering a fatal blow;
Others believe that they should first strengthen their defenses, consolidate the defenses of Soul Society, and wait until the time is right before making plans.

For a while, arguments broke out in the conference room, but no unified conclusion was reached.

At this time, the situation in Rukongai was still very critical. Those wizards, led by Seraph, destroyed everything in Rukongai and everything was absorbed.

As the situation in Rukongai becomes increasingly serious, more and more refugees flock to Seireitei like a tide. Their eyes are filled with fear and despair, and they long to find a little shelter in Seireitei, a relatively safe place.

However, those high-ranking nobles did not take these refugees seriously at all. In their eyes, these refugees were just a group of "untouchables" who were not qualified to set foot on the territory of Seireitei.

Therefore, the 5th, 6th and 10th divisions were ordered to send out the Shinigami to suppress these wandering souls who tried to enter the Soul Society.

The Shinigami, dressed in black Shinigami uniforms and holding Zanpakuto, appeared majestically in front of the refugees.

The gap in strength between the two sides was too great. Those unarmed wandering souls had no power to resist at all and could only watch helplessly as they were firmly blocked outside the Soul Society.

Their cries and pleas echoed in the air, but could not move the hearts of the indifferent gods of death and nobles.

In the Central Forty-sixth Room, Ichimaru Gin had a faint smile on his face, and his tone was full of ridicule: "Oh, oh, it seems that things are beyond your control, Captain Aizen~"

Aizen pushed his glasses up, still with that gentle smile on his face, and said slowly, "Isn't this more interesting?"

Ichimaru Gin tilted his head slightly and continued, "How cruel! Captain Tosen sacrificed himself."

A barely perceptible coldness flashed across Aizen's eyes, and he responded in a flat tone: "This proves that he is nothing more than that."

At this time, the Central Forty-Six Rooms were already controlled by Aizen and Ichimaru Gin.

All the elders had been brutally killed by them. The blood had not yet completely dried, leaving shocking traces on the ground.

During this period, all orders issued to the outside world were issued by Aizen alone. He was like a manipulator hidden behind the scenes, controlling the situation in the entire Soul Society.

The next day, the latest order from the Central 3th Office was delivered: "Kuchiki Rukia's execution will be moved up to three days later. The Gotei will fully respond to this disaster and must annihilate it completely."

Once this order was issued, no one raised any question.

Because everyone knows that these sudden travel disasters have indeed seriously threatened the rule of Soul Society. In this critical moment, it seems that they can only act according to this order.

Somewhere in Rukongai, stood a very strange building.

Its style is unlike any other residence.

In front of the building, there are no common stone lions showing majesty, but instead there are two huge arms carefully carved from solid rock.

The muscles in his arms were clearly defined, with bulging veins, and he was holding a banner high and steady.

On the banner, "The No. 1 Fireworks Artist in Rukongai"

The large characters are particularly eye-catching, swaying gently in the breeze.

This is Shiba Kūkaku's home.

The Shiba family was once one of the five most prominent noble families in Soul Society, but with the passage of time, it has gradually fallen into decline.

Although the family's glory is gone, Shiba Kūkaku still made a place for himself in Rukongai with his superb pyrotechnic skills.

In terms of family relationship, she is also the cousin that Ichigo Kurosaki has never met.

Yoruichi brought Ichigo Kurosaki, Uryu Ishida and others and quietly came to the door of Shiba Kūkaku.

Ye Yi knocked on the door gently, making a crisp sound.

After a while, the door creaked open, and Shiba Kūkaku's lazy and slightly alert figure appeared in front of everyone.

She was wearing loose clothes, with a cigarette in her mouth, blowing out a big smoke ring, and said helplessly: "Master Yoruichi, you really know how to cause trouble for me." Yoruichi smiled slightly, but there was a hint of seriousness in his eyes: "Kūkaku, this situation is urgent, we need your help to send us to the Soul Society."

Shiba Kūkaku frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes: "The Jingling Court has entered the highest alert state..."

As she spoke, her expression became serious and she slowly explained to everyone what had happened recently.

"You may not know yet, but a group of travelers of unknown origin have recently arrived, and their strength is beyond imagination."

Shiba Kūkaku's voice was low and tinged with worry, "In the battle with them, two captains died."

Upon hearing this news, the expressions of Ichigo Kurosaki and others instantly became solemn.

Yoruichi's mind was working even faster. The first person that came to her mind was Aizen Sosuke, who always had a gentle smile but was deep in thought. She wondered if all this was related to his conspiracy.

Then Weiss's appearance appeared in her mind.

【Could it be him who did this? 】

Yoruichi looked at Shiba Kukaku with a determined look, "Kukaku, we must enter Soul Society."

Shiba Kūkaku looked at Yoruichi's determined eyes, then looked at Kurosaki Ichigo and others, and sighed inwardly.

She knew that since Ye Yi had spoken, the matter must have reached a point where it could not be delayed any further.

She nodded slightly. "Well, since Mr. Ye Yi has said so, I can't just stand by and watch. However, let me be frank. This operation won't be easy. You all need to be fully prepared."

After hearing this, everyone felt a surge of hope and nodded in agreement.

On the other side, the wizard army, led by the Seraphs, is advancing towards the Soul Society like a black evil torrent.

Under their ravages, no grass grew wherever they passed.

The fields that were once full of life suddenly became barren, the soil was cracked, and the crops withered;
The beautiful village was engulfed in fire, houses collapsed, thick smoke billowed, and the villagers' cries echoed in the air, but no one could save them.

Seireitei felt an unprecedented crisis. In order to deal with this powerful enemy, they quickly sent out batches of spies to gather intelligence.

After some hard work, they finally got to know something.

At least they knew what the 10 Seraphim looked like.

"That's the guy!"

Soi Fong's eyes were blazing with fire as she stared at the photo of Seraph Kaido in her hand, as if she wanted to burn it with her gaze.

Her hands exerted uncontrollable force, and the photo was quickly crumpled into a ball in her palm.

She clenched her teeth and squeezed out these words.

Kyoraku Shunsui pinched his chin, narrowed his eyes and thought carefully.

"According to the spies' reports, these 10 individuals are not subordinate to each other and are of equal rank."

He spoke in a calm voice, yet it stirred up waves in everyone's hearts.

"In other words," Ukitake Jushiro continued, his usually gentle face now filled with seriousness, "their abilities are similar."

As soon as these words were spoken, the conference room fell into silence and the air seemed to freeze.

"Hahaha, this is so interesting."

Wild laughter broke the silence.
