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

If it's just altering "consciousness," that's fine, but if this force is altering "reality," then Mima should consider running away with the bucket.

Fighting is out of the question. He doesn't even know the other party's background. He only knows that it's at least an enhanced version of the Book of the End. At least Tsukishima needs to cut someone to use his ability, but this thing seems to take effect immediately upon hearing or seeing it. In terms of convenience alone, it completely blows Tsukishima Shukuro out of the water.

Whether this power is Zero Squad's so-called secret weapon or something else, he needs to figure things out before taking any action.

Before that, it's best not to provoke them. Although reducing the time frame might seem to avoid this effect, there's no such thing as being able to guard against a thief for a thousand days. The other party can make countless mistakes, but if he falls for it even once, he's completely finished.

In short, let's get out of here!

Until things become clearer, we'll refrain from sleeping in the barracks for now.

Just as Mima was preparing to return to the house to plan his next move, something else caught his attention.

In the present world, a strange change occurred on the coast where the clone Sandy was located.

"what?"

"Wow."

Mima, standing on the beach, uttered this sentiment.

the reason is simple--

The sky cracked open.

It's not embellishment, but pure description.

Under his gaze, the sky appeared with several "cracks" like shattered glass, from which blinding red light burst forth, accompanied by a faint blackish-red mist.

Immediately afterwards, two dark figures spun and fell like leaves caught in a gust of wind, then splashed into the sea.

Mima: "?"

He blinked, shook his head, and rubbed his eyes. Finally, he was certain that what he was seeing was not an illusion. So he quickly found a large rock to hide behind and secretly watched the situation in the sea and the sky.

The cracks in the sky were rapidly closing, the red light faded, and the fog dissipated into the air, soon disappearing as if nothing had happened.

That's outrageous.

I've seen all sorts of things (crossed out), but I've never seen anything like this before.

Although things like black holes and interdimensional portals theoretically involve creating a hole in space, they are still labor-saving activities that follow existing channels. This scene, however, seems to be about forcibly shattering space with brute force, which is fundamentally different from the other.

And that fog... it looks like hellish miasma, doesn't it?

The spiritual pressure of the two falling figures... while not weak, wasn't particularly strong either, at most only at the average level of a third-grade spiritual power. However, the feeling they gave off was very strange, neither like Hollows nor Shinigami, but something from another system.

One of them... seems to have a Fullbring aura about it?

What's going on here...?

Before he could figure it out, two heads emerged from the sea.

Soon, two figures slowly walked up.

They were wearing somewhat old-fashioned black cloaks; one was a young man who looked a bit effeminate, and the other was a seemingly honest and simple middle-aged man.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that their bodies were covered with half-chains extending from their flesh.

Holy crap, that's culpable!

Mima stared speechlessly at the two people on the shore evaporating water using spiritual pressure, his mind completely blank.

Did I stumble upon the scene of the wicked fleeing to the Three Realms?

That’s ridiculous!

Could such a coincidence really happen? Should I go buy a lottery ticket right now?

Oh, it seems there's no legitimate gambling industry these days, so let's forget about it.

After pressing his temples and thinking it over carefully, Mima still felt that he couldn't miss this opportunity.

I need to go up and talk to those two guys. If they can make sense of me, I'll reason with them; if not, I'll talk about physics.

Chapter 200: A Strange Opponent Has Appeared!

In short, we have to squeeze some money out of them, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of such a great opportunity?

“It seems… we have arrived in the mortal world.” The effeminate young man said, “Angato Tensei, you died later than me and also lived in the mortal world, so you shall guide us.”

The name he mentioned sent a jolt through Mizhen.

Huh? Anga Tensei?

This person sounds familiar...?

Holy crap, could this be Dao Yugen Awula's dad?

Huh?

Logically speaking, during this time period, Michiha Gen Aura shouldn't even have been born yet...

How could this person die?!

Wait... Now that I think about it, I seem to have heard about the Grim Reaper's Substitute in some rumors before. So the conflict between Tokita and Ginjo actually happened so early on?

Did I misremember the plot? Or is there something wrong with the timeline?

The middle-aged man nodded silently and said in a voice that gave the impression of weakness, "Then you can stay with me for the time being, Schubert."

Schubert? That name sounds familiar.

After pondering for a while, Mi Zhen slammed her fist down, her eyes lighting up.

Hey, aren't these early members of the Sternritter? ...Oh right, back then there probably wasn't a knightly order, but rather the captain of some kind of military police, the one who was always clashing with Baz.

Is it a coincidence? It's not hard to guess where these two people came from.

And none of them seem to be good pies... They're probably from the so-called "Asura Clan."

"Hmph... No need to put on that face. Once the main force arrives, I won't bother living with you anyway." Schubert snorted disdainfully. "You can do whatever you want then, I don't care."

“Only about thirty years have passed since I died, so the house shouldn’t be rotten yet. Let’s go there.” Anhedo Tensei glanced at Schubert with some wariness. “If my daughter is there, you must avoid her.”

This guy has been dead for thirty years? And he mentioned his daughter...?

Something is wrong. Ten percent or even nine percent wrong.

"Who cares about your daughter..."

Seeing the two hellish scoundrels bickering, Mima quickly came up with some lines (basically, he needed to capture them first), then tidied his appearance to make himself look more presentable. He then casually found an opportunity to step out from behind the rock and said elegantly, "The two of you don't seem to be getting along very well?"

Two wary eyes glared at them, one from the front and one from the back.

"Who?!"

"Who are you?!"

"No need to panic." Mi Zhen bowed slightly. "I'm just a passerby who happened to be passing by. I found your features quite unusual, so I came up to talk to you. Please forgive me if I have offended you in any way."

It's never a bad thing to speak politely; there's no need to start off with shouting and threatening violence.

But even if Mizhen gives them face, they may not necessarily give Mizhen face in return.

The two hellish beings exchanged a glance, a cold emotion flashing across their faces.

A moment later, they raised their hands in perfect unison, firing a Holy Annihilation Arrow and a strange green fireball from the left and right respectively.

But it seems... none of them are particularly strong.

Mima: "..."

Well, you're not taking my word for it, are you? Well then, don't blame me for using some tricks on you.

With lightning speed, he raised his hand and caught the light arrow, then slapped the fireball away. His expression shifted from yang to yin: "Gentlemen, what does this mean? I was trying to reason with you, but you attacked me without saying a word?"

"Who would believe something about just passing by? Do you think we're idiots?!"

With a casual flick of his wrist, Schubert unleashed a sky-blue light from the silver pentagram badge hanging on his hand, and in an instant, a recurve bow made entirely of spirit particles appeared in his hand.

Anhe Duotianjing, standing beside him, silently raised his hand, and streams of emerald light surged from the ring on his right hand, transforming into fireballs that circled around him, poised to strike.

"Really? Then there's nothing to discuss."

Mi Zhen sighed, raised her right hand to her face, and then suddenly slashed downwards!

A pale mask with spiderweb-like cracks over his left eye suddenly covered his face, and a chilling spiritual pressure descended on the beach like a heavy hammer!

The expressions of the two hellish scoundrels changed drastically!

Because Mima always had the habit of hiding his spiritual pressure, their first impression of this strange person who appeared out of nowhere was that he was just an ordinary person who could be dealt with in a few moves. However, after that mask appeared, the pressure of a second-level spiritual power hit them unexpectedly.

The two vengeful beings from hell were bewildered and devastated.

A little white rabbit suddenly transformed into a Tyrannosaurus Rex? What kind of logic is this?

"Since the two of you are unwilling to talk things out properly, then let's use violence to resolve this."

After being blurred, Mi Zhen's voice gained a violent quality, like the resonance of metal.

Honestly, speaking in this tone really has a lot of class.

As we all know, in the world of Bleach, being handsome equals having a huge attack power, and having a cool demeanor equals having strength. So this appearance alone can double his strength (take it seriously). Crushing an old version of a Quincy and a Fullbringer who was casually killed by Toki no Naka de is a piece of cake.

In the tense standoff, it was the culprit who struck first!

With a single twang of his bowstring, dozens of Sacred Annihilation Arrows rained down on Mima's various weaknesses, while the fireballs fired by Angato Tensei circled around at an extremely convoluted angle, completely sealing off all of Mima's escape routes.

This single move demonstrated the extremely high level of combat skill of the Hellish people.

But the problem is... no matter how sophisticated the technique, what's the point if it can't even scratch the enemy's skin?

In fact, with the speed boost from the Rabbit Talisman, he could have easily run away before the attack encircled him. However, after slightly assessing the power of the Holy Annihilation Arrow, Mi Zhen lost all interest in dodging and simply stood still, choosing to take the hit head-on with his steel armor.

The explosion rang out loudly, startling the seabirds in the distance into flight!

Seeing the enemy engulfed in intense smoke and fire, Schubert and Anhedo Tensei did not let their guard down at all, but continued to launch attacks without stopping. In an instant, Holy Annihilation Arrows fell like rain, and green flames almost illuminated the entire beach. Molten sand and stones flew everywhere, and a crater grew bigger and bigger.

"Have you finished the fight?"

Suddenly, Mima's voice rang out behind them.

Only then did their spiritual senses belatedly relay the message that "the enemy's spiritual pressure had vanished from its original location," and they turned around in horror—

But it was too late. Two hands reached out from the left and right, grabbing the necks of the two hellish sinners and lifting them up.
