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

"But the Quincy's power of annihilation directly and completely destroys the existence of Hollows."

Erin stared at Ishida Sogen and asked slowly, "Little guy, tell me, if we let the Quincy continue to destroy Hollows and reduce the number of souls in the world, how many souls will be left in this world after a thousand years?"

"What would this world become if there weren't enough souls to reincarnate?"

Ishida Sogen's face turned pale, and large drops of cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

According to the description of the Grim Reaper in front of us, if the Quincy are allowed to destroy Hollows at will, the world will indeed become like that in the long run.

The Quincy are actually the source of the world's destruction?

Looking at his own hands, Ishida Sogen felt lost.

It doesn't seem like a bad thing to exterminate the Quincy who can destroy the world in my hands.

"just kill me!"

Ishida Muneaki closed his eyes and accepted his fate.

"Oh? You're that eager to die?"

"No, I don't want to die, but after knowing what you've told me, I also feel that Quincy shouldn't exist in this world."

"Heh, I didn't realize you had such a good sense of the big picture."

"But what I hate most is the situation where I have to kill someone for the sake of some big picture."

Chapter 55 Surveillance

Upon hearing Erin's words, a glint of light flashed in Ishida Sogen's eyes.

If possible, he naturally hoped he wouldn't have to die.

"Ishida brat, I have a way to save your life, it just depends on whether you're willing to pay the price."

"You say."

Since his life was at stake, Ishida Sogen stood respectfully before Erin and listened attentively.

"I just told you that the Quincy's biggest mistake is their own Quincy power."

"You can continue your Quincy training, or you can get married and have children to carry on the Quincy tradition."

"However, from now on, all Quincy of your lineage will need to leave their names in Seireitei and be subject to the supervision of the Shinigami of Seireitei."

"When you encounter a Hollow, you can fight it to protect the people of the real world from harm."

"However, you cannot kill the Hollow directly."

"You can contact the Shinigami stationed there and have them kill the Hollows and send their souls into the cycle of reincarnation."

"So, are you willing?"

This was the plan that came to Erin's mind when he learned that the child's name was "Ishida Sogen". It was a plan that would allow the Quincy to continue to exist.

Ishida Munen is not talented and not very strong.

However, he had a genius son and a grandson who was favored by fate.

At least until they reach a level of strength comparable to Yhwach, Erin still wants to create protagonists who can stand in Yhwach's way.

However, as he said these words, a thought inexplicably arose in Erin's mind.

More than a hundred years later, a group of Shinigami watched as Ishida Sogen was besieged by Hollows for a long time, eventually exhausting Ishida Sogen's strength and killing him with Hollows.

Does the fact that I said those words today have any effect on this?

Judging from the duration of the battle, Ishida Sogen definitely had enough strength to kill all the Hollows that attacked him.

However, due to the drawback that "killing a Hollow with the Quincy's power of annihilation will destroy the Hollow's soul, reducing the total number of souls in the world," Ishida Sogen never entertained the idea of ​​destroying a Hollow.

If Ishida Sogen had been born in the Hokage era, he would definitely have possessed the mindset of a "Hokage," just like the two from the Uchiha clan.

"I am willing!"

As expected, even if it meant being under the watchful eye of death and losing some of his freedom, Ishida Sogen, who prioritized the world, still chose to agree.

"Okay, then practice on your own. When the Grim Reapers responsible for purifying the mortal world come here to take up their posts, I will introduce you to them."

"Ah."

Having put down his biggest burden, Ishida Sogen continued practicing under the waterfall after a good rest.

After his previous encounter with Erin, Ishida Muneaki's unleashed potential allowed him to make significant progress in his recent training. In just a few days, he completed the first step of Quincy training and successfully condensed a stable spirit bow.

Now, Ishida Sogen can confidently say that he is a fully-fledged Quincy!

……

In the Seireitei, within the courtyard of the Kuchiki family, a white light suddenly shone.

A large number of spiritual particles condensed into two doors in the light.

"bang bang bang..."

Once the door was completely solidified, it opened to both sides, revealing a spatial passage radiating white light.

The next second, Erin's figure appeared from the portal.

When they went to the human world, Erin and the people of the Second Division used the Thirteenth Division's portal.

When returning, there's no need for such trouble; we can simply use the Kuchiki family's interdimensional portals to go back to the Kuchiki family.

Although the gates to different worlds are officially under the supervision of the Gotei 13, which noble family in Seireitei doesn't secretly control a few gates to different worlds?

As one of the four noble families, the Kuchiki family naturally possesses a portal to the mortal world.

Sensing the spiritual pressure in the house, Erin first went to the backyard.

It’s still a familiar scene.

Under the cherry blossom tree, Kuchiki Ginrin, with her white hair and beard, stood supervising Kuchiki Byakuya's training.

Kuchiki Byakuya is very talented; at the very least, Kuchiki Ginrin believes that Byakuya has the potential to surpass her.

However, young Byakuya was restless and unpredictable. If he wasn't supervised, Byakuya might have run off to play somewhere.

Suddenly, Kuchiki Ginryu opened her eyes.

"You're back."

"Yes, I'm back, Father-in-law."

Erin stood beside Kuchiki Ginrin, watching together as Kuchiki Byakuya practiced his swordsmanship.

"Half a year has passed, and Byakuya has grown a lot."

"Judging from Byakuya's current rate of progress, it is estimated that he will reach the level of nurturing Zanpakuto within three years and complete the liberation of Zanpakuto."

Erin was nearly forty years old when he completed the creation of his Zanpakuto. If he hadn't been so powerful, he might only be at the bottom of the squad now.

Kuchiki Byakuya, who reached such strength before the age of twenty, will definitely be able to complete his Bankai training within the age of one hundred.

"Well, compared to you, Byakuya is far inferior."

Rotten Wood Silver Bell nodded.

Byakuya's talent is beyond doubt; it's only a matter of time before he surpasses him.

However, no matter how much confidence Kuchiki Ginrin had in Byakuya, she only felt that Byakuya had the potential to break through the century-old captain status.

To truly reach that level, Byakuya would need at least three hundred more years of training.

But his son-in-law had already reached this level three years ago, or even longer.

If Haruko hadn't had that accident, this secret would probably still be unknown to everyone.

And Haruko...

"By the way, about six months ago, Captain Yoruichi of the Second Division and his friend, the Third Seat, came to the Kuchiki family. They said they were asked by you to check on Haruko's condition."

“During this period, they would come and take Qingzi out every now and then. Each time they came back, Qingzi’s condition would be much better, so I didn’t pay much attention to it.”

"Today is the day Haruko goes to their place, so you don't need to worry."

"Ah."

Erin nodded.

When Erin didn't sense Haruko Kuchiki's spiritual pressure at the Kuchiki residence, he had already made a guess.

Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihouin ultimately chose to help Haruko Kuchiki.

"Uncle."

At this moment, Byakuya Kuchiki, who had finished practicing, noticed Erin, sheathed his sword, and ran to Erin.

“Uncle, let’s have a contest of Instant Step. That cat demon said I have to be better than you to be qualified to challenge her.”

"Oh? Captain Yoruichi really said that?"

Erin raised an eyebrow, finding it somewhat amusing.

Yoruichi's mastery of Shunpo reached its pinnacle.

There is no one in the entire Soul Society who can rival Yoruichi in Shunpo.

Otherwise, Yoruichi wouldn't have the title "Flash God".

Perhaps only Kirinji Tenrou of the Zero Division could surpass Yoruichi in his mastery of Shunpo.

Unfortunately, Erin was the exception.

For the past three years, due to Haruko Kuchiki's issues, Erin has not created a new Zanpakuto, and his spiritual pressure has not increased significantly.

However, this does not mean that Erin's strength has not improved much.

Chapter 56 Teaching Byakuya

For the past three years, Erin has been diligently training every night, absorbing the experience of the master of the Zanpakuto he has forged, so that his strength can be improved in all aspects, and he can get rid of the problem of needing to obtain the corresponding weapon in order to use the corresponding strength of the ability.

It can be said that, compared to Erin three years ago, without using his Zanpakuto, Erin now, while not exactly an instant kill, certainly has the ability to defeat his three-year-old self in a short period of time.

In the Seireitei, only Yoruichi Shihouin in the future will be able to surpass the current Yoruichi Shihouin in Shunpo.
