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

"How is it, Captain Unohana?"

“Captain-Commander, there is not a trace of Hollowfication in Miss Kuchiki’s body.”

"Moreover, Miss Kuchiki's soul has actually been in a state of constant decline and has never improved."

"However, there is another power within Miss Kuchiki."

"This power resets Miss Kuchiki's body every so often, restoring it to its previous state..."

"Captain Unohana has such strong skills in returning to her position."

Even Erin was extremely surprised to hear Retsu Unohana's assessment.

He never expected that Unohana would be able to do this.

Erin immediately spoke up to answer everyone's questions.

"That's right, Haruko's illness has never been cured; her soul has always been in a state of rapid decline."

"Therefore, in order to improve Haruko's condition, I forged the strongest weapon to date—Avalon."

"Avalon is a time-based Zanpakuto."

"Avalon's ability is to anchor its master's state at a certain moment, and then, every so often, it will return the master's state to the state at the time it was anchored..."

"In other words, Haruko, who possesses Avalon, is immortal."

"Even if she is killed, as long as the time for Avalon's power to activate is reached, Haruko will be revived in the state she was in when she was anchored."

After hearing Erin's description, the captains present all gasped in shock.

A time-based Zanpakuto?

Does it periodically revert to its anchored state?

If Erin uses this Zanpakuto to anchor himself in his strongest state and maintain his peak at all times, wouldn't he be invincible?

No wonder Byakuya Kuchiki said that this Zanpakuto was a Zanpakuto that surpassed Ryujin Jakka.

After all, no matter how powerful Ryujin Jakka is, its release will consume a lot of its master's spiritual pressure.

And what about Avalon?

As long as you maintain your strongest state, you will recover to your peak condition every once in a while. Your spiritual pressure, physical strength, and mental strength will be fully restored. Even if you are killed, you will be resurrected to your peak condition by Avalon's power...

It can be said that Captain Erin, who possesses Avalon, is definitely stronger than Captain-Commander Yamamoto.

At this moment, the captains looked at Erin with envy and regret.

Envy stems from the fact that Erin created such an "invincible" Zanpakuto.

It's a pity that this "invincible" Zanpakuto has already been sealed inside Haruko Kuchiki's body by Erin, a waste of its brilliance.

However, while feeling regretful, Aizen Sousuke also breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Haruko Kuchiki is indeed Erin's weakness.

The fact that she could abandon such a powerful Zanpakuto shows how important Haruko Kuchiki is to Erin.

Aizen Sousuke admitted that Erin was stronger than he had expected, but Erin, with such obvious weaknesses, was not worthy of being his opponent.

Of course, before that, I need to find a way to avenge this two sword wounds!

"Everyone, according to Captain Unohana's investigation, Haruko Kuchiki did not survive through the Hollowfication experiment."

"Therefore, all of Captain Aizen's speculations and investigations regarding Captain Erin are invalid evidence and are not accepted by the Gotei 13."

"Does Captain Aizen have any objections to this?"

"Commander-in-Chief, I have no objection."

"Please allow me to apologize to Captain Erin for the trouble I have caused him. Whatever punishment Captain Erin gives me, I will accept it willingly."

Aizen stepped out of the line, spoke gently about his mistakes, and sincerely apologized to Erin.

"No, no, no, I can't accept Captain Aizen's apology."

Erin waved his hand, refusing Aizen's apology, and turned to the Captain-Commander, saying, "Captain-Commander, I am now cleared of suspicion, but Captain Aizen's suspicion has not been cleared yet."

"Now, Captain Aizen, please explain why the Shinigami kneeling before you suddenly became Hollowfied when I saw you, and why Captain Tosen wanted to kill the Hollowfied Shinigami to eliminate the evidence after seeing me?"

"Captain Erin, you're wronging me."

Aizen Sousuke pushed his glasses up slightly, his tone completely devoid of panic.

"While we were tracking Captain Erin, we found a Grim Reaper kneeling on the ground, so we kindly went up to ask him what was wrong."

"Unexpectedly, that Grim Reaper suddenly became intangible and attacked us."

"As for why Captain Tosen killed that Hollow..."

"Captain Tosen, although we have a good personal relationship, I still hope you can explain this."

Upon hearing Aizen's question, the captains' gazes turned to Tosen Kaname.

"I am resolutely enforcing the laws set by the senior members of the Central 46, and I am maintaining the stability of the Seireitei."

Under the watchful eyes of the team captains, Tosen, in a weak voice, explained his unwavering belief in justice.

"Decades ago, Captain Hirako and others were persecuted by Kisuke Urahara, the former captain of the 12th Division, and became victims of Hollowfication experiments. At that time, the adults of the Central 46 issued an order—"

Chapter 175 Unusual Situation

“All the Shinigami who have become Hollows are treated the same way that Hollows are treated.”

"When I encountered a Hollowfied Shinigami in Rukongai this time, I didn't feel like I had done anything wrong."

After hearing Tosen's explanation, everyone nodded.

Indeed, decades ago, during the Hollowfication Incident, the nobles of the Central 46 Chambers did issue such an order.

At that time, if Yoruichi Shihouin, the captain of the 2nd Division, hadn't rushed into the experimental tower of the Central 46 Chambers and the 12th Division and taken away Kisuke Urahara, Tessai Gurashi, and Shinji Hirako, who had been Hollowfied, Shinji Hirako and the others would have truly been "purified".

"Boom!"

"Alright, that's the end of this matter."

"Now, let's adjourn!"

Ultimately, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni brought this matter to a close.

"Wait, Captain-Commander Yamamoto."

Just as Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was about to conclude this captains' meeting, Erin stepped forward again.

"Captain Aizen just explained to Captain Tosen why he wanted to kill that Hollowfied Shinigami, but he hasn't explained why I saw that Shinigami Hollowfied in front of you."

Upon hearing what Erin said, the captains were immediately taken aback.

Yes, clearly the most crucial part of this incident was the Hollowfied Shinigami, but they all overlooked it just now.

If Captain Erin hadn't brought it up, they would have almost forgotten about that Hollowfied Grim Reaper.

Aizen Sousuke deserves credit for this.

After the captains took to the stage as he instructed, in order to increase the credibility of his speculation in the letter, he manipulated the captains' vision, making them believe that they had been seriously injured in the battle with Captain Erin.

The Hollowfied Shinigami bound by Erin's Binding Spell was the one who truly caught the captains' attention.

However, when he learned that Haruko Kuchiki had not survived because of the Hollowfication technique that Kisuke Urahara had researched, he knew that his plan against Erin had failed.

Therefore, he later used the ability of Mirror Flower Water Moon to make the Hollowfied Grim Reaper appear as a harmless fly in the eyes of the captains.

Under such circumstances, I believe everyone will soon forget about that Hollowfied Shinigami, and even if they remember him later, it won't be a problem.

It's impossible for someone to specifically ask a squad leader about a Hollowfied Shinigami that can be purified.

However, now that Erin has exposed him, Aizen Sousuke has no choice but to remove the Kyoka Suigetsu ability from the Hollowfied Shinigami, allowing him to return to normal in the eyes of the captains.

"Captain Erin, you must have seen wrong, right?"

"When we got there, the Grim Reaper had already been etherealized."

"You can't assign me the role of researcher for the virtualization experiment just because I caused you some trouble, can you?"

Looking at Aizen Sousuke's gentle tone and warm smile, no one would think that this guy was the kind of mastermind who would use human lives as experimental subjects to study the Hollowfication of Shinigami.

Therefore, even among the captains standing nearby, two or three agreed with Aizen's words and felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.

"Whether you are the one researching the virtualization experiment or not, you know the answer in your heart."

"I just want to tell you, Captain Aizen, that although I don't consider you an opponent, I have put you on my kill list."

"I will give you time to grow. When you have grown to the point where I am interested, I will personally kill you."

"If you want to live longer, then slowly maintain your current appearance..."

"If you want to get closer to me sooner, then I wish you all the best in your endeavors, Aizen..."

"When you're no longer of any use, that's when I'll come to take your life!"

After saying that, Erin didn't care whether Aizen Sousuke understood or not, and took Kuchiki Haruko back to the Kuchiki family.

“Erin-kun…”

"What's wrong, Haruko?"

"I've dragged Erin down. If it weren't for me, Erin, with 'Avalon,' would be much stronger than he is now, wouldn't he?"

"Haha, what are you talking about, Haruko?"

Seeing that Haruko was feeling down, Erin knew that Haruko felt that she was a burden to her.

At that moment, Erin ruffled Haruko's hair, messing up her long, smooth hair.

"In this world, I may have many weapons, but I only have one Haruko."

"Don't think that simply using a weapon on Haruko would stabilize her condition and prevent it from worsening."

"As long as I can make them, what harm is there in having a few more?"

"Haruko, you need to know that to me, you are far more important than those powerful weapons."

"not to mention……"

"If I can forge a weapon that surpasses Ryujin Jakka, I can forge a second one."
