Death: Then stood in the sky.

I didn't feel any spiritual pressure at all.

Shiba Isshin then looked bewildered.

"Where are you looking?"

A wicked middle-aged male voice rang in his ears, startling Shiba. He immediately assumed an attack stance, but the next second he froze on the spot.

"The cat...the cat is talking?"

Shiba Isshin rubbed his eyes hard, watching as a black cat strolled over gracefully, then jumped onto Ukitake Seiji's shoulder and rubbed its cheek against him.

"What, is it strange that a cat can talk?" Yoruichi Shifūin glanced at him.

"Of course it's strange!" Shiba Isshin looked alarmed, pointed at me, and said in a trembling voice, "Why can a cat talk!"

"Isn't it strange that Komamura Sajin can talk?" Yoruichi Shifūin swished her tail and complained.

"..."

Shiba Isshin suddenly fell silent.

"Alright, Yoruichi-san, stop teasing Captain Shiba."

Finally, the air suddenly began to fluctuate visibly, and Kisuke Urahara, wearing a green fisherman's hat, slowly appeared.

"With such a method of concealing your presence, you still say you're not the traitor who just attacked us!" Before he could finish speaking, Qing Si patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry, Captain Yixin, this guy isn't the enemy."

"What is this...?" Shiba Isshin was stunned, completely confused about the current situation.

“My name is Kisuke Urahara, a person who was banished from Soul Society. If I count the time... ah, it’s been about a hundred years now,” Kisuke Urahara explained softly.

"Kisuke Urahara?"

"A hundred years ago, you were the one who caused the eight captains and vice-captains, including Hirako Shinji, to fall into the void?"

Zhibo pointed at him in astonishment.

"Oh dear, a sinner?"

Upon hearing this, Kisuke Urahara scratched his head and said with distress, "I don't want to carry such a serious crime on my shoulders, especially one that is fabricated." It's quite frightening.

"Aren't you right, Aoshi-kun?"

Upon hearing this, Shiba Isshin was startled again and immediately turned to look at Ukitake Seiji.

Then he saw the other person nod at him.

Do Seiji Ukitake and Kisuke Urahara, the former captain of the 12th Division who defected to Soul Society a hundred years ago, know each other?

What exactly is going on...?

"Compared to this, Aoshi-kun, you really are a monster. You can easily defeat even a Hollow of Vasto Lorde's caliber."

"This has truly broadened my horizons."

Kisuke Urahara, leaning on his cane, stared at Seiji Ukitake. "Just how powerful have you become?"

His face remained calm, but a storm was raging inside.

Just as Aizen had been observing Hollow White's behavior, Kisuke Urahara, the creator of the black cloak, had also been watching this place for a long time.

Therefore, he witnessed the entire process.

Therefore, I witnessed firsthand how Ukitake Seiji directly extinguished the King's Flash of Light and killed him with power surpassing even the Void White.

You must know that it was a Vasto Lorde-class Hollow, the highest level of Hollow, and Aizen's most perfect experimental subject. It evolved to an unbelievable level in just a few days!

So, what about Ukitake Seiji, who defeated him?

At this moment, does Ukitake Seiji already possess spiritual pressure that surpasses that of a captain?

Qing Si narrowed his eyes slightly, "That Hollow was almost completely exhausted; I was just the one who finished it off in the end."

Stop lying to people.

Kisuke Urahara lowered the brim of his hat and gave him a deep look out of the corner of his eye.

Has he been completely recognized by the Hogyoku, merged with the Hogyoku, and mastered the power of Hollowfication?

My body has been completely healed, so I can fight with all my might?

But isn't it a bit too shocking that Ukitake Seiji, who was unable to fight with all his might before due to illness, has been completely liberated?

"What do you know that makes you willing to keep your talents and strength hidden and lie dormant in the deepest part of your being?"

"For the past few decades, you have been living in a weak and dying state. Apart from learning Shunpo Hatai from Yoruichi and swordsmanship from Unohana Retsu, everything seems to have been very ordinary."

"I live like this every day, worrying every day about whether I will live to see tomorrow."

"The biggest worry is how to survive."

"After meeting you a few days ago, I wondered if Seireitei had made a mistake. How could a man like you be so ordinary? You have such talent, yet you try your best to blend into the crowd. In my opinion, this is an extremely unbelievable thing."

Shiba Isshin was completely dumbfounded. He felt that he could understand everything, but when put together, it became something he couldn't understand.

“That shouldn’t be related to what’s going on right now,” Aoji interrupted him.

“Of course it’s unrelated, but it is also related.” Kisuke Urahara said seriously, his gaze scrutinizing, “Seiji-kun, you have probably already discovered that person’s true colors.”

Zhibo scratched his head in frustration.

Whose true identity is that?

Who are you referring to?

Seiji realized what Urahara Kisuke was probably referring to, so he said decisively, "I will not admit that I have discovered anything."

Upon hearing this, Kisuke Urahara lowered his gaze. "So, you're saying you don't deny it either? That's terrifying."

Was it discovered by Captain Ukitake?

Or did they discover from some clues that the Soul King was not as high and mighty as recorded in the Soul Society?

"Store manager."

At that moment, the deep, resonant sound of the Woling Tiezhai rang out.

The black cloak slowly receded, gradually revealing the figure of Wo Ling Tie Zhai, who pushed up his reflective non-prescription glasses.

"Please stop talking nonsense here. Of course, it's not because I don't understand anything that I'm interrupting you, but they can come back anytime."

them?

Upon catching the key words, Shiba Isshin's pupils contracted, and he immediately shouted, "Who are they? Are they traitors from Soul Society? The guys who secretly injured me and Ukitake Seiji before?"

"You'll find out about that soon enough," Kisuke Urahara said mysteriously.

"Manager, please stop talking nonsense." Wo Ling Tie Zhai interrupted him impatiently. What time is it and you still can't stop being a riddle teller? Hurry up and get to work, you bastard!

Seeing this, Kisuke Urahara sighed helplessly.

His gaze shifted to Risa Fujiwara. "She seems to need a little bit of help?"

Upon hearing this, Shiba's spirits lifted, and he blurted out, "You can save her?"

"Of course."

Kisuke Urahara smiled easily, then squinted his eyes, waiting for the other party's flattery.

A second passed.

Two seconds passed.

Five seconds later.

Unable to contain himself any longer, Kisuke Urahara opened his eyes and saw Shiba intently seeking confirmation from Seiji Ukitake.

Urahara Kisuke's smile froze.

This captain of the 10th Division doesn't trust me at all; I'm almost at the point where I have to rely on Seiji Ukitake's connections!

Yoruichi Shifuin chuckled.

Kisuke Urahara felt his blood pressure rising, so he took a few of his specially made blood pressure-lowering pills, and his complexion improved. "She has been poisoned by the Hollowfication, and her body has been invaded by a power called Hollowfication."

Shiba Isshin pursed his lips. "Please, please restore her to normal..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kisuke Urahara interrupted him, "I never said I could restore her to her original state."

Zhibo was completely stunned.

“I’ll be frank, she can’t go back to her original state. I’ve been studying etherealization for over a hundred years and have found a way to stop it. That is to inject something that is the opposite of etherealization into the soul, so that etherealization is in a state of absolute balance.”

Noticing Shiba Isshin's astonished expression, Urahara Kisuke continued, "It seems you've already roughly realized it. That's right, the power opposite to Hollows is the power of Shinigami."

“A hundred years ago, by extracting the spiritual pressure of Quincy and the souls of humans, I created a vaccine to prevent Shinji Hirako and his group from completely becoming Hollowfied, thus stopping the Hollowfication process.”

"But as Seiji-kun said, the Quincy clan has no antibodies against Hollow powers, so vaccines alone are not enough."

Kisuke Urahara looked at Isshin Shiba and said, "To put it more bluntly, we need to make a Shinigami completely give up his power and stay by her side to neutralize the various powers within her."

"At the same time, because that Hollow was Vasto Lorde, don't expect an ordinary Shinigami to be able to do this."

"Captain-level Grim Reaper".

Kisuke Urahara emphasized, his voice deep, "Only a Shinigami of captain rank or higher can completely suppress the Hollowfication power within her and bring everything to a state of balance."

"spread."

"Captain Shiba, you should have understood what I'm saying by now."

Kisuke Urahara adjusted his hat, his gaze deep, and said, "During this period, let alone using Shinigami power, you, having almost lost all your spiritual pressure, won't even be able to see Hollows. Moreover, if you do do that, you may never be able to become a Shinigami again."

Even so, are you still willing to do it?

The atmosphere instantly became silent and oppressive, as if the air itself could condense into water.

"Is that so? So this is your answer."

Kisuke Urahara sighed. As expected, it was still too much to ask of him...

Shiba clapped his hands and shouted, "I understand, I'll do it!"

"?"

Kisuke Urahara's card is dead.

"I said I'm going to do it, let's get started."

Zhibo, who was extremely anxious, urged, "Your explanation is too long. I can't understand it at all, so I had to think about it for a while."

"But the general idea is that I just need to give up the power of the Grim Reaper, give up my current identity and everything else, and stay by her side to protect her for the rest of my life, right?"

As if afraid that Kisuke Urahara hadn't understood, Isshin Shiba emphasized again, "If that's the case, then I understand, I'll do it!"

Upon hearing this, Kisuke Urahara looked surprised and asked, "Don't you have any regrets?"

Shiba took the topic calmly, "How could there not be? There are tons of them, but so what? If I were to turn my back on my benefactor just because of those sentimental attachments, what would be the difference between me and trash?"

Kisuke Urahara nodded. "Is that so? I understand."

Not far away.

Aoji calmly watched this scene, and as expected, Shiba Isshin made the same choice.

I had already prepared a backup plan to use the Hōgyoku.

But obviously, it's no longer needed.

That's true. If he were to abandon his benefactor just because he didn't want to lose his power, then he wouldn't be Shiba Isshin.

At that moment, Shiba Isshin walked over.

Kisuke Urahara stayed where he was and began preparing for the procedure.

Further away, human figures began to appear, but the presence of the barrier prevented them from noticing Fujiwara Risa lying on the ground.

"It seems this is your decision, Captain Isshin."

Looking at the man standing beside her, Qing Si turned her head and whispered.
