Shirou's clones number 30 million

Aizen glanced around, and only after the Shinigami in charge of arranging the meeting room closed the door did he slowly speak:

"First of all, there was the matter just now. I'm sure everyone here knows the biggest difficulty facing Soul Society."

"Because spirits have a longer lifespan than humans, and spirits can marry and have children, the population of Soul Society will only increase, putting more and more pressure on the land until it becomes unbearable."

“From the first street onwards, the fertility of the land in Rukongai decreases sharply, and the streets behind it have become barren wastelands.”

"Some people may have seen this, while others may not."

"The crisis is not only present now, but also in the future."

"Therefore, I came up with a solution that will solve the problem once and for all."

"The specific method is very simple: use a technique similar to Kido to expand the Soul Society and increase the area of ​​fertile land."

"Of course, this technique is too difficult. Even if all the Shinigami in the entire Soul Society were combined, they wouldn't be able to withstand such a consumption."

"To this end, I invited dozens of helpers from other worlds to work together to cast divine spells and expand the Soul Society more than ten times, making it all fertile land. Not only are there new crops exclusive to the underworld, but also all kinds of animals that grow in the underworld."

"Of course, in exchange, we need to expand Soul Society's business to other worlds. None of the worlds I'm cooperating with have an underworld; when people die, their spirits are extinguished. From now on, we will be responsible for the soul transfer work in those worlds."

"That concludes the entire truth of this incident. Does anyone have any questions?"

"I have a question!" Ichigo Kurosaki asked instinctively, "Is the population pressure in Soul Society really that serious?"

"It's fraught with danger. You can go to the Rukongai area after number 78. It's barren there, and even the water necessary for a spirit to survive has to be bought."

"That can't be right, can it?" Ichigo Kurosaki frowned slightly.

Rukia tugged at his arm a few times and whispered:

"Captain Aizen is telling the truth. After number 78, there is nothing left in Rukongai. Robbery, theft, and murder are commonplace."

"Is nobody going to do anything about it?"

"We can't manage it all. Besides, resources are insufficient..."

“Aizen is right,” Kenpachi Zaraki suddenly interjected. “Fighting for survival is the current situation in the later districts of Rukongai.”

As he spoke, he raised his voice slightly and said with an extremely serious expression:

"Aizen, I've always thought of you as a schemer who likes to keep things to yourself."

"However, if what you just said is true, from now on, I am willing to wield my sword for you."

"Even if you betray the Soul Society, I am willing to follow you to the end."

His vice-captain, Yachiru, smiled and said with the same serious expression:

"Just like Ah Jian, you can order me around as you please from now on."

Chapter 536, Section 537: You actually made me work overtime?

Aizen nodded slightly, then turned to look at the others:

"So, does anyone else have a question?"

"Is that the only condition for cooperation?" Byakuya Kuchiki asked.

"Yes."

Aizen paused, then continued:

“Those worlds don’t have an underworld. When people die, their souls disappear. Being able to live another life in a place like Soul Society is still very attractive to millions of ordinary humans.”

“When souls from other worlds arrive in Soul Society, they are usually placed in Rukongai. However, if someone has exceptionally high spiritual aptitude, they should not be overlooked, and we should do our best to recruit them into the Shinigami Academy.”

"In short, it means treating the present world of this world and the present world of other worlds equally, without discrimination."

"This is not a condition, it is merely my personal request."

Kuchiki Byakuya nodded thoughtfully and pondered for a moment:

"It is the job of the Shinigami to extradite the dead, and I have no objection to that. However, with the current number of Shinigami in Seireitei, I'm afraid it is impossible to handle the extradition work of so many worlds at the same time."

"There's no need to rush it; let's take it slowly and complete it within ten years."

Aizen unconsciously thought of his counterparts in other worlds, whose reasons for agreeing were mostly for the sake of their own relatives and friends.

The price of granting immortality to relatives and friends is too high, and the person in question may not be willing to accept it. It would be better to introduce a ghost world system like Soul Society, allowing them to live again after death.

Although it may seem a bit arbitrary, I imagine most people wouldn't object to it.

"As for the problem of insufficient number of Shinigami, let's expand the scale of the Shinigami Academy."

“From now on, the number of people in each squad will gradually increase.”

"Of course, as the entire Soul Society expands, the size of the Thirteenth Division will inevitably expand as well. This is common sense, and I don't think anyone would object to it."

"What should we do if someone sees us Shinigami as invaders?" Retsu Unohana said in a deep voice. "To people from other worlds, we are just outsiders, and perhaps some of them will be hostile towards us."

As expected of the original Kenpachi, his first thought was always about fighting.

Aizen glanced at her and pondered for a moment:

"Some worlds have already established dedicated offices to handle communication between the human world and the Soul Society."

"As for those worlds where no one is handling these problems, you can handle them yourselves. If you can't handle them, you can report to the First Division and negotiate a solution."

Some of Shirou's worlds are just ordinary high school students with no plans to enter politics. They are just ordinary modern worlds without magic, and no one in those worlds can communicate with the Soul Society.

However, in those worlds, it's likely that very few people possess the ability to see through things.

"So, we can travel to other worlds at will now?" Retsu Unohana smiled slightly. "Previously, Captain-Commander Aizen controlled the portal to other worlds. I was wondering if you were planning to seal it away."

"This other world is not a safe haven for us to roam freely. Almost every world hides people whose strength is no less than mine."

That's right, the person Aizen was referring to was himself.

"Some worlds are in the Age of Exploration, with pirates everywhere, and the World Government is full of experts, including many captain-level fighters."

“In some worlds, aliens keep descending upon Earth. It may seem peaceful, but in reality, it is turbulent. Even if a captain-level person goes there, he can’t make a ripple.”

“In some worlds, the gods are high above, but their eyes are always on the human world. Fortunately, I have reached an agreement with the sun god in the heavens, otherwise I really wouldn’t have lifted the restrictions.”

"As for other worlds, which have a complete cycle of life and death and even administrators who can destroy a universe at will, I will not lift the access restrictions for the time being."

As Aizen explained, Retsu Unohana's eyes lit up.

When will the restrictions on traveling to other worlds be lifted?

“Complete opening is impossible. Any Grim Reaper must apply to go there, and too many people can go at once.”

Aizen could tell where she wanted to go just by looking into her eyes.

The worlds of Shirou, Tsukimi, and Apollo are not a big problem, but the Dragon Ball world is too dangerous, and the restrictions absolutely cannot be lifted at present.

"Just like in the real world, right? I understand." Unohana Retsu nodded slightly. "So, when can we start applying?"

Aizen was speechless. So, after all I've said, all you really care about is when we can go to the other world?

"Tomorrow, it's already quite late today. Once I've set up the portal and arranged the follow-up procedures with the First Division, you can apply to go to the worlds you want."

To connect the many worlds and firmly link the Soul Society with the other worlds, one portal is definitely not enough. To be on the safe side, each world should have at least ten portals distributed throughout the world.

"Can't Captain-Commander Aizen work overtime for the sake of Soul Society's future?"

You actually made me work overtime?

Aizen's face hardened, and he said in a deep voice:

"Captain Unohana, as a medical captain, your duty is to protect the last stronghold of Soul Society. Therefore, your application will most likely not be approved."

"Oh...? In that case, for the sake of peace in Soul Society, Captain-Commander Aizen probably can't be deployed casually. In that case, would you like to have some tea and chat with me, and defend the last stronghold together?"

"We are now discussing the future arrangements for Soul Society. Please refrain from bringing up irrelevant topics."

Aizen didn't reply, but instead looked at the others:

"Now, let's announce a few temporary arrangements."

"Captain Kyoraku, your Eighth Division should send someone to update the map as soon as possible. The Soul Society has expanded more than tenfold, and the original map is no longer usable. Also, keep a close eye on the changes in Rukongai."

“Okay, I’ll arrange it right away.” The vice-captain of the 8th Division, Nanao Ise, immediately agreed.

Aizen sighed silently. Yet another person with a similar style to himself.

However, while he simply avoided doing trivial matters, Kyoraku Shunsui was purely lazy.

"Captain Ukitake, because the business has expanded more than tenfold, the task of escorting the dead will no longer be solely the responsibility of your 13th Division. Other divisions will also take on corresponding duties as appropriate."

“Understood.” Jushiro Ukitake nodded slightly. “However, our 13th Division has been in charge of extradition work, so I would like to give priority to members of our 13th Division.”

"That's natural."

Aizen nodded in agreement and then looked towards the 10th and 11th Divisions.

"Captain Hitsugaya, Captain Zaraki, both of your squads, immediately dispatch men to maintain order in Rukongai. There are a large number of beasts formed from Yin energy in the newly expanded land, which may attack the outer perimeter of Rukongai."

"no problem!"

After that, it took Aizen more than an hour to get the work arranged.

Although his internal energy had been excessively depleted, and he hadn't slept for several days and nights in order to research divine arts, his body was already extremely exhausted.

However, the Soul Society expanded more than tenfold in one go, and there was a lot of work that needed to be arranged personally, so he could only travel around all night.

I didn't get a break until sunrise.

'Finally, everything's arranged. Now I can finally take a good rest.'

Aizen got up and left the office. The moment he opened the door, a ray of sunlight shone on his face, causing him to unconsciously shield his eyes with his hand.

"It's already morning."

Perhaps due to the lingering effects of the divine magic, even though it was still winter, the sunlight carried a hint of the scorching heat unique to summer.

'Go back to sleep.'
