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

Zaraki spat, but still asked persistently, "Do you know who knows where the captain of the Fourth Division is?"

"Ah, I know that. Lieutenant Kotetsu must know where Captain Unohana is."

"Very well, then take me to find that vice-captain."

"Yes Yes……"

"Um, Captain Zaraki, could you please put me down first?"

After being glared at by Zaraki, the Shinigami of the Fourth Division shook his head repeatedly in fright: "No, no, no, you don't need to put me down, Captain Zaraki. I'll just show you the way like this."

In the end, Zaraki put the Grim Reaper down.

Because he sensed that the woman's spiritual pressure was approaching.

"Captain Zaraki, although your injuries have mostly healed thanks to my return, it's quite distressing for a patient to run around before fully recovering."

"Humph."

Zaraki and Unohana Retsu stared at each other for a long time. Under Unohana Retsu's squinting smile, Zaraki felt very awkward.

Compared to the current Unohana Retsu, I prefer the murderous Unohana Yachiru.

Now, what Zaraki wants to see is Unohana Yachiru, not Unohana Retsu.

Unfortunately, in the end, Zaraki did not sense the familiar killing intent from Retsu Unohana.

A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and finally, Zaraki returned to his hospital bed and closed his eyes to rest.

After parting ways with Zaraki, Retsu Unohana returned to the captain's room of the Fourth Division, sat cross-legged in front of the table, and placed the Zanpakuto at her waist on the table.

Then, Retsu Unohana gently raised her other hand to her braided chest, trembling slightly.

It was as if the rope binding the braids would be torn off at any moment.

Unohana learned about yesterday's battle between Zaraki and Erin from the other members of the Eleventh Division.

Zaraki has lost again.

As Zaraki's spiritual pressure gradually recovered, Unohana felt both joy at Zaraki's return to strength and regret for not having played any significant role in the process.

It was obviously me who came first!

Whether it was the first battle with Zaraki that allowed Zaraki to experience the joy of fighting for the first time, or even the fact that he specially learned the Kaido from his friend Kirinji Tenjiro in order to prevent Zaraki from holding back in the next battle, and incorporated the method of turning spiritual pressure into a blood-red hot spring into his Bankai...

Chapter 134 Zaraki's Choice

All I did was so that in the next battle, Zaraki wouldn't have to hold back and could fully enjoy the thrill of the fight...

But now it seems like I've been abandoned.

Given Captain Erin's demonstrated strength, Zaraki's spiritual pressure will gradually and completely recover under his pressure.

The person who can make Zaraki fully enjoy the thrill of fighting is now Captain Erin.

I have become someone who is dispensable.

The inability to deliver a satisfying victory in battle has become an indelible shame for Unohana Yachiru, both in her body and in her heart.

So, should I engage in a decisive battle with Zaraki before his spiritual pressure is fully restored, so that Zaraki can fully awaken during the battle with me?

Stroking the Zanpakuto on the table, Retsu Unohana's right hand had already grabbed one end of her headband.

With just a gentle tug, the long braid hanging down her chest would immediately unravel, announcing to the world that the most heinous villain in Soul Society, unprecedented in history, had once again descended upon Soul Society…

……

Erin had no idea that her existence was causing Retsu Unohana to begin questioning her own life.

After testing the power of the Gate of Babylon, Erin was very satisfied with the upgraded abilities of his Zanpakuto.

While the power of throwing a top-level weapon might not be as great as wielding a sword yourself, the ability is undeniably cool.

The lighting effects are way cooler than when Unlimited Blade Works projects and throws.

Whether something is strong or not is a matter of time.

Whether you're handsome or not is a lifelong matter!

That's way too high-class.

Back at the Kuchiki residence, Erin sensed that Haruko was playing with several members of the Female Shinigami Association. He then went back inside, sat cross-legged, and immersed his mind in his Reality Marble.

Compared to the once barren land, Erin's natural barrier is now covered with a layer of golden light.

Within the Unlimited Blade Works, all the Zanpakuto were enveloped in a golden aura.

This is the outward manifestation of the power of the Gate of Babylon in these Zanpakuto.

It is precisely because of this layer of golden light that these Zanpakuto possess such powerful energy after being thrown by the Gate of Babylon.

Now, the space of Unlimited Blade Works is several times larger than before.

Throughout history, everything that can be called a "sword" is automatically collected by the Gate of Babylon, and then crafted using the power of Infinite Blade Works, and stored in this space.

These newly created swords, though varied in form, are all currently the lowest-grade Zanpakuto, belonging to the shadow legion that cannot even materialize.

At this moment, Erin's training involves searching for treasures among these "swords".

Slowly walking forward, Erin reached out and pulled a Zanpakuto from the ground. The battle memories of a samurai surfaced in Erin's mind.

A few seconds later, Erin shook his head and casually tossed the sword aside. The sword tumbled a few times in the air before embedding itself in the other Zanpakuto that Erin had already identified.

Then, Erin continued this process, drawing his sword, absorbing the memory, and then tossing it aside.

Among these countless swords, it often takes Erin thousands of swords to find one that reaches the level of "Sitting Official". After being thrown by Erin, it will fly to the Sword Hill on its own and, according to its own strength, be stuck at the corresponding height on the Sword Hill.

It is quite obvious that the golden radiance of the Zanpakuto on the Sword Hill is much richer than that of the Zanpakuto on the Golden Earth.

Moreover, the higher you go, the stronger the golden light within the Zanpakuto becomes.

The Zanpakuto planted at the highest point of the sword mound was entirely formed from golden light.

That is Erin's Zanpakuto in its current form—the Gate of Babylon!

Every time Erin selects a Zanpakuto of the Seat Rank or higher from among these countless Zanpakuto, his spiritual pressure increases.

In the process of choosing a Zanpakuto, Erin's understanding of the element of "sword" also improved step by step.

When she gets tired of picking things up, Ella will create some weapons from her memories based on her understanding of the "sword" element.

In any case, as long as Erin defines the abilities of these weapons as the abilities of Zanpakuto after their release, they will all be recognized as "swords" by Erin's Reality Marble.

Who made this world have a "sword" like the Zanpakuto?

Don't worry about whether it became a sword, spear, halberd, hammer, sickle, or club after liberation. Just tell me whether it was a Zanpakuto or a sword before liberation.

As long as it's a "sword," then it doesn't matter whether it's reasonable or not. Even using a Devil Fruit as the release ability of a Zanpakuto is not impossible.

Shikai is the use of a Devil Fruit's power, Bankai is the awakening of a Devil Fruit...

If Unlimited Blade Works dares to admit it, I dare to do it!

Feeling invincible, Erin became incredibly reckless in the Unlimited Blade Works universe, embodying a carefree and willful attitude.

All the Zanpakuto created by Erin started at the Seat Officer level, and many were Captain level as well.

Even some of the "strongest" level have appeared.

As for EX-level items like "Avalon," that's classified...

This already touches on the "essence." Even Erin cannot guarantee whether the weapons he creates have truly reached the EX level. He can only infer it based on the spiritual pressure he receives.

However, no matter how much these weapons could enhance Erin, Erin's spiritual pressure never stopped increasing.

If the "Spirit King" is the limit of this world, then I must surpass the "Spirit King" and break free from this world abandoned by the "Creator God"...

……

"Shoot..."

In the Fourth Division, after realizing that his injuries had completely healed, Zaraki tore off all the medical bandages on his body.

"Hey, where's your captain?"

Fortunately, the Grim Reaper that Zaraki mentioned was the same one as last time.

However, unlike last time when he was so scared he almost peed his pants, this time, although the Shinigami of the Fourth Division was also startled, his reaction was not as exaggerated as before.

"Captain Zaraki, where is Captain Unohana? I really don't know..."

"However, I know someone who knows where Captain Unohana is."

"Enough with the chit-chat. Since you know, then hurry up and lead the way."

"Yes, yes, but Captain Zaraki, could you please put me down first? I'll take you to find Vice Captain Kotetsu."

Led by this Grim Reaper, Zaraki arrived at the captain's room of the Fourth Division.

"What? Isn't this guy already in here?"

Pushing aside the Shinigami who was leading the way, Zaraki strode into the captain's room of the Fourth Division.

"Captain Zaraki."

At this moment, in the captain's room of the Fourth Division, besides Retsu Unohana, there was also the vice-captain Isane Kotetsu.

Upon seeing Zaraki, Kotetsu Isane immediately stood up and bowed to him in greeting.

Despite being only the vice-captain of the 11th Division, none of the Shinigami in the entire Gotei 13, including the actual captains, dared to truly regard Zaraki as a vice-captain.

On one hand, the strength that Zaraki has demonstrated over the past few decades has earned the recognition of the captains.

They could be described as more reckless, more clumsy, but they would never dare to say they were more weak.

On the other hand, Erin, the true captain of the 11th Division, stopped managing the 11th Division after Zaraki joined. It can be said that the entire 11th Division has been under Zaraki's leadership for decades without any problems. The 11th Division has always been able to eliminate every enemy it faces.

Zaraki possesses the magnanimity of a captain!

"Captain Zaraki, I see that your injuries have fully recovered. Why are you here instead of returning to the Eleventh Division? What brings you here?"

"Woman, don't talk to me like that."

Zaraki sat down casually in front of Unohana Retsu, "I didn't come here to talk to you like this..."

"Yongyin, you go out first."
