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

Then, Captain-Commander Yamamoto slowly began to speak.

"Kisuke Urahara."

"Because of the recommendations of the captains of the 2nd, 6th, and 11th Divisions, I am about to conduct a captain's test for you with their presence as witnesses. Are you ready?"

"Ready, Captain-Commander."

"very good."

Captain-Commander Yamamoto nodded, then continued to Urahara Kisuke: "Urahara Kisuke, the so-called captain's test is to confirm whether a person has the ability to serve as captain."

"There are two ways to conduct this assessment."

"The first test will be to demonstrate your Bankai in front of us, so that we know you have captain-level strength."

"The second assessment method is to choose one of the captains present to fight. If your strength is recognized by the captains present, you can also become a captain."

"Just to clarify, if you choose the first assessment method and your Zanpakuto's Bankai ability is extremely powerful, then our assessment will be conducted in the Dangai."

"If you choose the second option, in order to avoid damaging the Seireitei, your battle will take place in Avici Hell."

"Now, Kisuke Urahara, tell me, which assessment method do you choose?"

Looking at the three people behind Captain-Commander Yamamoto, Kisuke Urahara scratched the back of his head.

"Captain-Commander, I'd rather challenge the captain."

The importance of intelligence to a researcher is self-evident.

If he were to gather intelligence on his opponent first, Kisuke Urahara would have many ways to defeat or even kill someone much stronger than himself.

Even knowing that the four people currently here are unlikely to become his enemies.

But instinctively, Kisuke Urahara didn't want to reveal his Bankai ability.

Upon hearing Urahara Kisuke's words, Kuchiki Byakuya's expression stiffened.

Could this guy be trying to challenge himself?

After glancing at the other three, Byakuya Kuchiki had to admit that he seemed to be the easiest to bully.

Yoruichi Shihouin, the captain of the Second Division, is Kisuke Urahara's childhood friend and has served as captain for over two hundred years.

Captain-Commander Yamamoto, the strongest Shinigami in a thousand years, no doubt about it, unless Kisuke Urahara is out of his mind, he would choose to challenge the Captain-Commander.

The captain of the 11th Division, Erin, is Erin's uncle. According to a member of the Zero Division, Erin's uncle was a powerful figure who refused the Zero Division's invitation.

"Is it?"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni slightly opened his narrowed eyes.

Preferring to challenge the captain rather than demonstrate Bankai, it seems that the 12th Division captain candidate recommended by Captain Shihouin is no ordinary person.

This is the only way a Shinigami would choose if they were confident that they could defeat the other captains with just the Shikai power of their Zanpakuto.

After all, your original goal was to hide your Bankai, but being forced to use it in battle only makes you a laughingstock, doesn't it?

Among the four captains present, even the weakest, Byakuya Kuchiki, was considered to be in the lower middle range among the captains of the Gotei 13.

He is much stronger than the captains of the Third Division, Rojuro Otohashi, the Seventh Division, Raito Aikawa, and the Ninth Division, Kensei Muguruma.

However, compared to Yoruichi Shihouin, captain of the 2nd Division, Shinji Hirako, captain of the 5th Division, Isshin Shiba, captain of the 10th Division, he is weaker.

If Kisuke Urahara can truly defeat Byakuya Kuchiki with the Shikai of his Zanpakuto, then his strength might not be inferior to that of Shunsui Kyoraku of the 8th Division or Jushiro Ukitake of the 13th Division.

After giving Urahara Kisuke a deep look, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni said, "Alright, then, which of the four captains who witnessed your captain's assessment would you like to challenge?"

"Let's go with Captain Kuchiki..."

No one present showed any surprise upon hearing Urahara Kisuke's choice.

If Kisuke Urahara were to challenge Yoruichi Shihouin, he might perform poorly due to their familiarity with each other, and be judged as unqualified by Captain-Commander Yamamoto.

If Kisuke Urahara were to challenge Captain-Commander Yamamoto or Erin, even using his Bankai might not end well...

"Then let's go, let's go to the Avici Hell..."

Given Yamamoto's status and position, if he wanted to go to the Avici Hell, he only needed to inform the Central 46 Chambers.

In order to complete Urahara Kisuke's captain assessment as soon as possible, the group of five, led by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, entered the lowest level of Avici Hell.

"Rumble..."

The heavy doors opened, and dim light, like a sharp blade, pierced into the Avici Hell, adding a touch of life to this dark and quiet place.

"Oh? We have guests?"

As the gates of Avici Hell opened, a clear and melodious voice came from the deepest part of Avici Hell.

Then, footsteps sounded.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Byakuya Kuchiki frowned.

"Captain-Commander Yamamoto, if I remember correctly, there shouldn't be any guards watching over criminals in this Avici Hell, right?"

"How could anyone move around in this hellish place?"

Chapter 138

Hearing the footsteps, Erin's heart skipped a beat.

This infernal hell can seal away almost all the gods of death, but it can never seal away a single person.

The eighth Kenpachi, Souya Azashiro!

More than a hundred years ago, Sōya Azashiro intended to use the power of his Zanpakutō to transform all the residents of Rukongai in Soul Society into weapons of war, attack Hueco Mundo, and purify all the Hollows in Hueco Mundo.

During this process, he will strictly control the casualties of the Rukongai and the Hollows in Hueco Mundo, ensuring that they all perish together in the end, thereby reducing the burden on Lord Soul King.

However, this approach was ultimately rejected by the will of the Spirit King.

The Spirit King was on the verge of collapse, but he had not yet reached the point where he needed to annihilate these countless souls to alleviate his own pressure.

If it weren't for his great love for all things in the world, the Spirit King would have long since disregarded the lives of all beings in the Three Realms and broken free from the seal to regain his freedom.

Despite the King's veto, Souya Mochijo eventually surrendered to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and was sentenced to imprisonment in the Avici Hell.

Although, according to procedure, when he was imprisoned in the Abyss, Moth City Shuang was also the most dangerous person and was naturally sealed by the Ghost Path.

However, thanks to Souya Azashiro's abilities, these seals were quickly taken under his control, and he regained his freedom.

However, Shi Cheng Shuang also realized that his thoughts went against the will of Lord Ling Wang, so he voluntarily imprisoned himself in Wujian and did not leave Wujian after he gained his freedom.

Anyway, for Souya Mochijo, he just wanted to see what the Soul King's chosen person would do. With Takuro Amatsu, who was completely integrated with the entire Soul Society, he could monitor the entire Soul Society in real time, so it didn't matter where he was.

This time, if it weren't for the fact that one of the people who entered the Avici Hell was the current Kenpachi, neither Azashiro Sou would have appeared.

Upon hearing Byakuya Kuchiki's question, Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto did not answer, but instead gazed solemnly into the depths of the Avici Hell.

By the faint light shining into the Avici Hell, Byakuya Kuchiki saw the handsome man with delicate features.

"Captain-Commander Yamamoto, Captain Shihōin, Captain Kuchiki, it's been a long time."

"Eighth Generation Kenpachi Souya, you actually broke free of the seal?"

Yoruichi Shihouin said in surprise.

"That makes sense. With your abilities, there really isn't any seal in this world that can contain you."

Over a hundred years ago, Sōya Azashiro's Zanpakutō, Amouraku Takuro, entered the "Tenjintai" invented by Kisuke Urahara. It muttered to itself in front of Yoruichi Shihōin and Kisuke Urahara for a long time, revealing all of Sōya Azashiro's secrets.

If it weren't for Yosuke Azashiro's later surrender, Kisuke Urahara would probably have had to invent something to counter Yosuke's abilities in order to deal with the war that Yosuke might launch.

"A twin city of moles?"

When he saw the person standing in front of him, Kuchiki Byakuya suddenly realized.

He remembered that it was this person who surrendered and was imprisoned in the Avici Hell that led to the Fourth Division Captain Retsu Unohana recommending Erin's uncle to become the Eleventh Division Captain.

Compared to decades ago, Shiro Shiro doesn't seem to have changed much.

Seeing that Sora Azashiro was able to break the seal on his own, Byakuya Kuchiki suddenly realized that compared to these seniors, his own strength was far too weak.

At the very least, if he were sealed and imprisoned in the deepest hell, he would have no way to escape.

"Zhicheng Shuangye, why aren't you in prison? What are you doing here?"

"If you intend to escape, I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to kill you here."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni slightly opened his eyes and solemnly questioned Mochishiro Sōya.

"Don't worry, Captain, I have no intention of escaping right now..."

These words caused the captains present to twitch at the corners of their mouths.

Does that mean there are no plans to escape from prison now?

"If it weren't for the current Kenpachi appearing, I wouldn't have shown up in front of you."

At this point, Shi Cheng Shuang also turned his gaze to Ai Lin.

Shi Cheng Shuang also knew Ai Lin.

After all, Erin had previously served as the captain of the Sixth Division, making him someone of equal status to Erin.

Later, it seemed that the Soul King's will sensed something and influenced Kisuke Urahara and Ginrin Kuchiki, causing Erin to leave Soul Society.

However, after he surrendered himself, the Soul King's will abandoned the plan to expel Captain Erin, allowing Captain Erin to return to Seireitei.

At that time, Shiro Sōya still thought that Ailin was the person chosen by the Spirit King.

But after observing for a while, he discovered that it seemed that the vice-captain of the Fifth Division, and the man named Urahara Kisuke standing in front of him, were the ones chosen by the Soul King.

At the very least, he could sense the power of the Spirit King from those two people.

However, there was no trace of Lord Soul King's power on Erin Kenpachi's body.

"Oh?"

Hearing that Shi Cheng Shuang also said so, Ai Lin suddenly realized.

"So, you've come to me now to continue the tradition among the Kenpachi?"

"That's right, in the same era, there can only be one 'Kenpachi'."

"If you hadn't come to the Avici Hell, I, who am in the Avici Hell, wouldn't be considered to be living in the same era as you."
