I'm really not the number one slacker in Soul Society.

"Alright," Mima said helplessly, "Looks like I'll have a lot to do next."

"But you can rest assured."

Nizuki Shigure walked up to Mima and said, "Let her be stubborn for a while. I will assist you during this period."

Mi Zhen raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean?"

"What I said just now may have been a bit harsh, but it wasn't exactly a lie."

Nizuki Shigure simply leaned against Mima's side and smiled, saying, "Her efficiency in assisting you to condense spiritual pressure is too low. If I were to do it, both the efficiency and power would be greatly improved."

"Wait, aren't you in Bankai?" Yama noticed something was off. "It's already ridiculous that I saw you in the Shikai stage, but you actually stepped in to help me?"

“That’s just a misunderstanding on your part, Shinigami,” said Shigure Gyou. “No one has ever said that a Zanpakuto’s Bankai cannot meet a Shinigami beforehand, nor has anyone ever said that a Bankai cannot help a Shinigami during its Shikai stage.”

Mima thought about it for a moment, and was immediately convinced: "What you said makes so much sense..."

"In the end, I am just another form of you, and doing this is just helping myself—you need it now, so I'll help you out, it's that simple."

"I still have to say thank you."

Mima smiled sincerely at Nizuki Shigure: "Thank you for your help."

“There’s no need for that,” Nizuki Shigure said softly. “The problems between her and me are just some historical legacies, but when it comes to helping you, Ryuzuki and Nizuki Shigure will not hesitate at all—not for reasons like fate, but because of our own choice.”

"Okay, then I'll accept it."

Mima took a deep breath, sensing the situation at Dosei Seireitei, and shrugged helplessly: "Looks like we can't talk for long. There are still things waiting for me to deal with outside."

“Of course, I’m always ready to serve you.” Nizuki Shigure took a step back, smiled, and waved goodbye to him.

"See you later then."

Mizhen chuckled at Nizuki Shigure again before exiting the mental image space.

Chapter 129: The Vice-Captains' Farewell Ceremony

"it is good!"

Inside the Technology Development Bureau, Akin placed four test tubes on the display stand and excitedly said:

"The medicine is ready, that's all!"

"Great!" Mima, who had been waiting impatiently, clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Everyone, we can begin executing the plan!"

"Oh?"

"finally……"

"Let's get started soon."

"I've been waiting for this for ages!"

The sounds of voices rose and fell.

This already small experiment was packed with people—it was an all-star lineup.

As a burst of powerful music began (referring to the sound effects of the various strange instruments in the Technology Development Bureau), the Shinigami of all shapes and sizes appeared one after another—wow! It turned out to be several big guys with extremely high-ranking positions, powerful spiritual pressure, strong muscles, each of them were the backbone of the Gotei 13, each of them possessed unique skills, and their skills in slashing fists and slaying demons were even more amazing!

They are--

Ōmaeda Kinosugu, the current vice-captain of the 2nd Division, is a renowned master of Shunpo in Soul Society and a distinguished noble family head.

Soi Fon, a former member of the Execution Army who recently mastered Bankai, is practically slated to become the captain of the 2nd Division.

Genjiro Oki, the current third seat of the First Division, is a veteran who has followed the old man for nearly a thousand years. In terms of ability, he is by no means inferior to any vice-captain.

Kotsubaki Jin'emon, the current vice-captain of the 7th Division, is a renowned swordsman and a veteran with achievements surpassing those of the former captain, Aikawa Rao.

Shiba Kaien, the current vice-captain of the 13th Division, is a forthright man whom Ukitake calls "the most capable young generation"!

Komamura Sajin, the current third seat of the 7th Division, is a mysterious masked man who was introduced into the Gotei 13 by the old man. He is tall, has superhuman strength, and his Zanpakuto "Tenken" is incredibly large!

Byakuya Kuchiki, the eldest son of the Kuchiki family, is a talented fighter with exceptional skills at a young age. He is particularly skilled in Shunpo (Flash Step) and slashing techniques, making him an invaluable expert.

There's also Watanabe Yama, the liaison officer who called all of the above-mentioned people here.

They gathered at the Technology Development Bureau to provide support for the battlefield above Seireitei.

After all, Old Man Shan and the others were engaged in a fierce battle with Dark Azure Guardian, and they simply couldn't spare the time to retrieve it themselves.

Therefore, Mima decided to use a human wave tactic.

Specifically, it means gathering the most skilled fighters in the Seireitei to act as deliverymen for Yamamoto and his group; it would be even better if they could provide some assistance.

Why fight one-on-one when you can gang up on someone? Is there any need to talk about chivalry when dealing with evil spirits and heretics? Obviously not!

He summoned all these people without much effort—now that the evacuation work was over, the experts who were now free were hesitating about what to do next, and Mi Zhen had delivered a great gift to them, so how could they refuse it?

This is no occasion for martial virtues. If the battle in the sky continues to drag on, the fate of Seireitei will probably not be good—basically, they will have to choose between being burned into a pool of lava or being blown to smithereens. Who can withstand that?

"Alright, alright, let me kindly explain this to you barbarians."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi stepped forward, immediately drawing a lot of hatred with his opening remarks. However, given the urgency of the situation, no one bothered to argue with him, allowing his arrogant explanation to continue.

“One of these four drugs can disrupt the spiritual pressure circuits of a ghoul—simply put, it makes them ‘unable to eat.’ If it were applied to this enemy, it should prevent him from maintaining this state of devouring everything.” Mayuri Kurotsuchi shook a test tube. “The method of use is also very simple. No matter what method you use, just inject the drug into the ghoul’s body, whether you apply it to a knife to cut him or make him swallow it.”

"Does that mean we're going to launch a saturation attack?"

Genjiro stroked his beard and pondered, "Interfering in Lord Genryusai's battle... you all should be prepared to lose your lives."

"That kind of thing has been prepared for a hundred years!"

Wearing sunglasses, the tough guy, Kotsubaki Jin'emon, sighed: "But there's something I have to say... Although it sounds a bit weak, why are we vice-captains being the ones carrying out the mission? No matter how you look at it, Captain Kyoraku and Captain Ukitake are more suited to participate in the battle, aren't they?"

"The three of them... are probably on a secret mission."

Akin added from the side, "Everyone should have sensed the situation in Rukongai. Captains Kyoraku, Ukitake, and Shiba's spiritual pressure is all there, so they probably won't be able to get back anytime soon."

"Is that really the case..."

Haiyan scratched his head: "Captain Ukitake asked me to look after the 13th Division in a mysterious way, and then he disappeared. I was wondering what he went to do."

"It seems... we can only rely on the rest of us."

"I am," said Noriyuki Omaeda, sporting a brown pompadour.

Although his appearance, like his son's, exudes an unreliable air, Ōmaeda Kinosuke is a truly outstanding warrior who has made great contributions under Yoruichi's command. Even in the entire Gotei 13, he is a rare reliable person!

"No need to say more. Grandpa and the Captain-Commander are fighting to protect Seireitei. How can we, the younger generation, be afraid?"

Still in his arrogant phase, Byakuya spoke loudly and imposingly.

On a side note, although they often fought, Yoruichi was a very important elder to Byakuya. Three days before learning of her "defection," he was probably the one who was most upset, second only to Soi Fon.

When calling for reinforcements, Mima was a little worried that Byakuya was still going through a depression – after all, Byakuya was a real teenager at this point, so it was understandable that he was a little emotional.

But Byakuya immediately agreed to Yama's request for help and arrived at the Technology Development Bureau as the third person to arrive, after Soi Fon and Ōmaeda Noriyuki, with only a serious expression on his face, as if he were carrying a heavy responsibility.

"Then let's not delay and start immediately."

Genjiro Oki stepped forward, took a test tube first, and after looking around, said, "I, Vice-Captain Ōmaeda, Vice-Captain Shiba, and Young Master Kuchiki will each take one. The rest of you will be responsible for diverting the enemy's pressure and creating opportunities—does anyone have any objections?"

Everyone nodded.

Afterwards, the group imagined several possible dangerous situations, memorized them one by one, and then symbolically formed a circle. Ōmaeda Kinosugu poured everyone a farewell drink, looked around, drank it first, and then threw the glass to the ground, shattering it.

Everyone followed suit!

In any case, participating in such a dangerous plan as a vice-captain requires immense courage, but none of the people present showed even the slightest fear.

As for whether the technical development bureau staff who needed to clean up the extra ceramic debris on the ground would be unhappy... everyone intentionally or unintentionally ignored this detail.

"Then let's begin." The last to drink, Genjiro Okabe, nodded solemnly. "May you all have good fortune in battle!"

..........................................

Two minutes later, the members involved in this special operation dispersed to various parts of Seireitei.

Mima and Soi Fon arrived at an open space near the Second Division barracks. After chanting, they released a modified version of Tenten Kōra, connecting everyone involved in the operation.

This modified Ghost Path is an evolution of the Heavenly Void Luo Private Chat mode, which can connect multiple people simultaneously, and everyone in the connection can hear what each person says.

This is the Tianting Kongluo group chat mode.

"Liaison officer Watanabe Yama is in position." Yama said, sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. "Everyone, can you hear me?"

In Tian Ting Kong Luo's group chat channel, everyone started repeating "No problem".

“Very good.” Mima nodded. “Then let’s officially begin!”

It wasn't that Mi Zhen really wanted to play the big shot, but the Tian Ting Kong Luo group chat mode was a novel thing he came up with a month ago, and it had flaws in many aspects. In this awkward time when both the Grand Ghost Master and the Deputy Ghost Master had run away with their buckets, only he could act as the liaison.

After understanding the situation, Genjiro immediately decided to team him up with Soi Fon—in case something unexpected happened, Soi Fon could carry him, the human transmitter, to escape, so that everyone would not lose contact.

Now that all the participants are in position, it's time for Mima to begin his operations step by step.

"Commander, I'm sorry for the offense!"

Mima extended his spiritual pressure connection to the three old men in the sky in one breath, and then reminded them as planned: "Third Seat of Chongya, please explain to the three captains."

Then, while Okabe was explaining the situation in the fewest words possible, Mima nodded to Soi Fon beside him.

"Are you ready?"

"I see."

Soi Fon nodded, somewhat uneasily drawing her Zanpakuto from her waist. After receiving the approval from the old man through the Ten-Ting Kong-Luo, she took a deep breath, solemnly raised Suzumebachi, and shouted.

"Bankai: Sparrow Bee Thunder Whip!"

The next moment, intense spiritual pressure surged into the sky!

"It seems..."

In mid-air, Ansou Mitsu glanced at Seireitei below out of the corner of his eye.

For someone of his caliber, no fluctuation in spiritual pressure within the entire Seireitei could escape his notice, and he had already observed the vice-captains' gatherings and dispersals.

Even if he didn't know what these insignificant little things were doing, he could still guess some of it.

"They intend to come to your aid." Dark Azure Guardian coldly withdrew his gaze: "But this is merely a pointless act of suicide!"

"That's not necessarily true..."

The old man in the mountain let out a breath, then secretly exchanged a glance with Unohana and Kuchiki Ginrei.
