I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

As the Ju Tu rapidly approached him, Erin narrowed his eyes.

Generally speaking, the existence of Kyuto is monitored by the Twelfth Division's Technology Development Bureau.

Therefore, when the Soul Reapers use the Transcendental Gate to enter the Human World, they are almost never likely to encounter any trouble.

Because there is no means to monitor Kokutoku in the mortal world, it is only possible to encounter Kokutoku when one opens a portal from the mortal world to enter the Soul Society.

However, the pattern of arrests and ambushes is that they occur every seven days, so the chances of encountering one are not high.

"Never mind, whether it's an accident or not, let's test it out."

Erin remembered that when Aizen and the Hogyoku reached the second stage of fusion, he could shatter the Kōtsutsu using spiritual pressure.

You should know that the Kouta is immune to spiritual pressure.

The Zanpakuto abilities released by spiritual pressure, Kido, and other techniques can only be devoured by Kokuto.

This demonstrates just how powerful the spiritual pressure is, capable of shattering the Kokutoku.

"boom!"

A tremendous spiritual pressure erupted from Erin's body.

This was the first time Erin had released her spiritual pressure at full power.

The entire passage to the severance trembled violently under Erin's spiritual pressure, as if it were terrified of some terrifying being.

……

"Drip, drip, drip, drip..."

Gotei 13, 12th Division, Technology Development Bureau.

On a huge steel machine, red warning lights and beeping alarms rang out in the dimly lit research room.

Immediately, Death, who was in charge of the machine, rushed forward to check.

"how is this possible?"

"what happened?"

The man's exclamation quickly drew the attention of the others in the research room. One of the men in a white coat walked up to the machine and, upon seeing the green lines displayed on it, also gasped in shock.

"This, how is this possible?"

This machine is used by the 12th Division to monitor the boundary.

The current Technology Development Bureau's technology is not as advanced as it is more than two hundred years later. The equipment in the squads are mainly radar-like displays for detection, and they are still some distance away from cameras.

Now, the lines representing spiritual pressure on this monitoring radar have reached the very top of the radar.

Clearly, the intensity of this spiritual pressure has exceeded the detection range of the detector.

"Who used the portal today?"

"Quickly retrieve the usage records of the interdimensional portal."

"Yes."

Under the instructions of the Grim Reapers in white coats, several Grim Reapers quickly operated the machines, and then one of them began to loudly report to the Grim Reapers in white coats.

"Chief Buksu, because today is the day for the Kokutoku cleansing and severing the boundary, there are no records of any of the divisions in Seireitei using the Kakutoku.

"No, there's one here..."

"The one used by Captain Ukitake of the 13th Division to enter the portal was Captain Erin of the 11th Division!"

"Oh……"

Upon hearing this, many of the Shinigami in the Twelfth Division exclaimed, "I see!"

For ordinary Grim Reapers, encountering Kokutoku almost certainly means certain death.

However, when the captains encounter Ju Tu, their speed allows them to escape the boundary and enter the world on the other side of the interdimensional gate before Ju Tu catches up with them.

Therefore, the guerrilla warfare posed less of a threat to the captains.

"Alright, everyone, you can all disperse now. If it's Captain Erin, it's not surprising that he has such strong spiritual pressure."

Section Chief Bianzhou waved his hand, signaling the members of the Twelfth Division to return to their positions.

However, at this moment, Section Chief Bianzhou's heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

As the head of the Communication Technology Research Department and Radio Wave Measurement Department of the 12th Division, Bianzhou may not be good at combat.

However, in his area of ​​expertise—monitoring—Bukyu was confident that he held sway over the entire Seireitei.

Although Captain Kiryu Hikifune is the captain of the 12th Division, his expertise lies in the research of "temporary souls," and "Gi-Tonomaru" is a byproduct of this research.

Kiryu Hikifune's main research project is to use cooking to fuse a "temporary soul" with himself in order to increase his spiritual pressure.

The monitor manufactured by Bukyu can detect "Kutoku," and its ability to monitor and detect spiritual pressure intensity is naturally among the most advanced.

When the detector was being tested, Captain Kiryu's spiritual pressure was still within the range of the detector.

Section Chief Biaozhou knew that Captain Erin of the Eleventh Division was very strong, but this was the first time Biaozhou had learned of Captain Erin's strength from data.

Of course, Section Chief Bianzhou also knew that his own boat-dragging captain had an even stronger method.

That was the result of Captain Kiryu Hikifune's research reaching a certain level.

However, because the research is not yet fully completed, the "temporary soul" cannot be completely integrated with itself. After a period of time, an rejection reaction will occur, causing the "temporary soul" to separate from itself and dissipate. Naturally, the increased spiritual pressure will also decrease.

Chapter 129 Applying Eye Drops to Ukitake

If Captain Kiryu Hikifune completes his research and can fully integrate the created "temporary soul" with himself, the resulting increase in spiritual pressure will be permanent.

However, once Captain Kiryu Hikifune completes his research, that will be the time for him to be promoted to Squad Zero.

Since the person in the interdimensional portal was Captain Ailin, Section Chief Bianzhou stopped paying attention.

He simply noted down the record of this boundary break and then ignored it.

……

"boom!"

Faced with Erin's powerful spiritual pressure, the guts only slowed its advance slightly before continuing to rush towards Erin.

"It seems that my spiritual pressure is still far from enough to shatter the Kokuto."

Erin shook his head, unconcerned.

He already had a plan in mind; he was just trying it out to see how much of a gap there was between himself and Aizen after he fused with the Hogyoku.

He drew his Zanpakuto from his waist, and the blade instantly transformed into a purplish-black spatial blade.

Then, Ailin waved his hand at Jutu, and a crescent-shaped spatial blade flew swiftly toward Jutu.

"Underworld's waning moon breaks!"

"boom!"

After striking Ju Tu, the crescent-shaped spatial blade instantly transformed into a ten-meter-wide Netherworld Path, completely engulfing Ju Tu.

Not only Jutu, but even the passages within this broken realm, in the areas where the Netherworld expands, have been largely swallowed up by the Netherworld.

At first glance, it looks like a large pit has appeared in this half of the passage.

After eliminating the Jutu, Ailin encountered nothing further in the passage to the severed boundary and safely arrived in the mortal world.

"Captain Erin."

After stepping out of the portal, a middle-aged Shinigami with an afro quickly used Shunpo to arrive in front of Erin and bowed to him.

"Captain Erin, I am Hideaki Kashiromaru, the 8th Seat of the 13th Division. I am here to await your arrival on the orders of Captain Ukitake."

"Yes, Captain Ukitake is very thoughtful."

"Let's go find that boy now, Shiromaru Hachisuke."

"Yes, Captain Erin."

Led by Shigemura Hideaki, Erin quickly arrived near the human boy.

At first glance, Erin was certain that this boy was indeed the first substitute Shinigami from his memories—Ginjou Kūgo!

However, Ginjo Kugo is not yet a middle-aged man; his face still has a youthful look, and he appears to be about sixteen or seventeen years old.

After letting Kashiro Maru leave, Erin casually released a binding spell called "Curved Light" to conceal his figure and followed behind Ginjou Kūgo.

Along the way, Ginjou's performance earned Erin's slight nod.

Unlike Ichigo Kurosaki, Kūgo Ginjō often wears a gentle smile on his face.

In his interactions with people, Ginjo Kugo is quite warm and welcoming.

It can be seen that before being betrayed by Tsunayoshi Tokinada, Ginjo Kūgo was quite carefree and not wary of people.

It wasn't until evening, after returning to Ginjo Kūgo's house, that Erin released the Kidō that concealed her, descended to the window of Ginjo Kūgo's bedroom, and sat on the windowsill.

"Wow..."

The window was opened, and Ginjou Kūgo immediately saw Erin sitting on the windowsill.

"Um, who are you?"

"Kugo Ginjo's father is Jotaro Ginjo, and his mother is Rumiko Ginjo..."

"I'm seventeen years old this year, and I like to eat ramen..."

Upon hearing the stranger in the white haori recite his information with such familiarity, Ginjo Kūgo's smile vanished instantly.

Ginjou Kūgo grabbed a cross-shaped necklace around his neck and said in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you?"

"What is your purpose in investigating me like this?"

As Ginjo Kūgo spoke, a surge of spiritual pressure emanated from him.

"Purpose?"

As if unaware of Ginjou's movements, Erin turned around and looked directly at Ginjou for the first time.

"Young man, I am Death. Do you know what power you possess?"

"Ok?"
