Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

The battle was incredibly fierce.

The Quincy Il was completely dominated by Ichigo, who was in Hollowfication form, and didn't even have a chance to raise his head.

To be honest, the biggest selling point of Il, as a puppet jointly created by Shen Jue and Aizen, is its durability and strong spiritual pressure.

Even within the Gotei 13, his spiritual pressure would be firmly among the top ranks, making him a high-end fighter.

Unfortunately, he ran into Ichigo, a "stat monster".

The numerical values ​​are illogical and unreasonable.

No matter how skillful you are, one strike from him and you'll have to rethink your life.

Even more outrageous, Aizen personally logged in and instilled the most advanced combat awareness from the three realms into Il's mind.

In those few minutes, Il's positioning, blocking, and counter-attack timing were as if he had precognition and zero recoil.

Then, the Quincy Il was still beaten like a punching bag by Ichigo, until he doubted his existence.

In just a few minutes, this Quincy puppet, whose spiritual pressure was comparable to that of a Shinigami captain, was on the verge of collapse under Ichigo's relentless bombardment.

Until Ichigo let out a roar and slashed down with his sword, Il was seriously injured and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

Shen Jue stood at a distance and nodded in satisfaction.

He was not surprised by the result at all, and even felt it was only natural.

He vaguely sensed that Il, who was lying on the ground, or rather, Aizen, who was on top of the group, cast a look of affirmation at the moment he was struck down.

That gaze seemed to say: Not bad, you taught very well.

Shen Jue suddenly felt a little smug.

He stroked his chin, feeling that he had taken another solid step on the path to becoming a "Saint Master of All Realms".

Il lay on the ground, his spiritual energy beginning to become unstable.

Shen Jue stepped forward and tried to reverse his injuries using the Return Path.

However, this puppet controlled by Aizen muttered to itself under the watchful eyes of the many captains:

"Is this... my limit?"

He paused, his voice growing even weaker, as if giving his final words to some distant being:

"Your Majesty... I am sorry that I was unable to fulfill my promise to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Quincy Il's body suddenly disintegrated, turning into countless scattered spiritual particles that vanished like fireflies above the ruins of Twin Peaks.

The Quincy Il cannot rise again.

Shen Jue shook his head and sighed, "What a pity. I didn't expect this Quincy to be so loyal to the Quincy progenitor."

Of course, he knew that this was actually Aizen's pre-arranged exit line, a way to pin the blame on Yhwach even on his deathbed.

On the other side, Kurosaki Ichigo ripped off the bull-head mask from his face, panting heavily as the turbulent spiritual pressure within him finally began to subside.

He looked up and saw a group of captain-level Grim Reapers standing around him.

Mr. Yamamoto's eyes were especially frightening, as if he were about to draw his sword and roast him into charcoal at any moment.

Ichigo froze, then silently slid behind Shen Jue.

Yoruichi used the same technique, even sliding faster than Ichigo.

She also felt that Mr. Yamamoto's gaze sent chills down her spine.

The matter has been temporarily settled.

Rukia's execution was postponed indefinitely, and all the captains were waiting for Shen Jue to give a more detailed explanation.

After all, the scene was just too outrageous; even the Twin Hills were destroyed.

Just then, Renji Abarai finally snapped out of his shock and rushed over, anxiously fussing over Rukia Kuchiki, as if he wanted to offer her all his care and concern.

While dealing with the captains' barrage of questions, Shen Jue glanced at Renji out of the corner of her eye and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

Please, when Ichigo rescued Rukia from the torture device just now, Rukia's gaze towards Ichigo was practically dripping with affection.

Then look at Byakuya Kuchiki, who is expressionless and silent not far away.

In a daze, Shen Jue heard the mournful cries of two defeated dogs echoing in the air.

That's terrible, Renji.

Seriously, that's terrible.

Faced with the team captains' persistent questioning, Shen Jue began his performance without changing his expression.

He pinned all the blame on Yhwach for the Shinigami defection, the execution, and the attack on Aizen.

His words were flawless, his logic was impeccable, and his emotions were so strong that even he almost believed them.

After he finished speaking, nearly half of the captain-level Grim Reapers applauded.

The three people who clapped the most enthusiastically were: Gin Ichimaru, Kaname Tosen, and Toshiro Hitsugaya.

Especially Hitsugaya Toshiro, the wielder of the strongest ice-type Zanpakuto, looked at Shen Jue with the eyes of someone looking at a god of wisdom walking in the world.

Shen Jue thoroughly enjoyed this feeling.

He straightened his back, preparing to say a few more nice words, when Captain-Commander Yamamoto suddenly spoke up.

"Shen Jue".

"exist."

"Because of your intervention, Sōkyō Hill was completely destroyed in the battle between Ichigo and the Quincy Il."

"You will be responsible for the reconstruction costs. You will also be fined twenty years' salary."

Shen Jue's smile froze on his face, and he remained silent for a full three seconds.

"Awesome!" Shen Jue could only utter these two words in his heart.

He realized he could hear Ichigo struggling to suppress his laughter behind him, and Yoruichi's quiet, "Serves you right."

The reconstruction of Central Room 46 has been indefinitely postponed.

It is clear that Mr. Yamamoto intends to take this opportunity to firmly grasp all the power in the Soul Society in the hands of the Gotei 13 in order to deal with the threat of the Quincy King.

Shen Jue, as the captain of the 10th Division, has been given a new title: Captain of the Soul Society Security.

It sounds impressive, but it really just means he has to do more work, take more blame, and get paid less.

Correspondingly, the Soul Flowing Realm is now under Shen Jue's jurisdiction.

"He's so happy! Does that mean the izakaya owner will be giving him crazy discounts from now on?" Shen Jue beamed with joy.

The good news is that Rukia's charges have been dropped.

Even better news is that, with Shen Jue's intervention, Kurosaki Ichigo successfully became an official substitute Shinigami of the Gotei 13.

Chad and Orihime Inoue, who had been imprisoned, were also released. They both looked thinner when they came out, but their mental state was relatively stable.

As for the tragic story of Uryu Ishida.

After Shen Jue repeatedly vouched for him and gave a detailed explanation, he was finally released.

But anyone with eyes could sense that the Shinigami of Soul Society were generally not very friendly to him, a Quincy, and he received a lot of wary glares wherever he went.

The only ones who treated him politely were the captain-level Grim Reapers.

After all, the captains are knowledgeable and experienced, and they wouldn't be so petty.

Everything was proceeding smoothly and in an orderly manner, according to Shen Jue and Aizen's plan.

Apart from the salary for those twenty years.

Shen Jue touched her chest, feeling a sharp pain in her heart.

Aizen's injuries are gradually healing, and Kyoraku Shunsui's suspicions about Ichimaru Gin have been dispelled after Yhwach took the blame.

He also canceled the secret society that Kyoraku Shunsui had established to investigate the truth about the defected Shinigami.

The reason is that Captain-Commander Yamamoto learned from Yoruichi that all the rogue Shinigami who were corrupted by Hollows had regained their rationality and were still thinking about returning to Soul Society.

The captain has already considered dropping the charge of defecting from the Grim Reaper.

In order to deal with the threat of Yhwach and the Quincy, the Soul Society now needs to unite all available forces.

Shen Jue was secretly guessing that perhaps Mr. Yamamoto missed his students and wanted to find an excuse to remove the kids from their criminal records.

That makes perfect sense.

After several busy days, Yoruichi, who had been ignored by many captains and was roaming freely in Soul Society and even fought with Soi Fon, approached Shen Jue.
