Infinite Chimera Creation

Chapter Seventy-Nine Graduation

After becoming the Grim Reaper, Yuan Yuan, though not yet an immortal being, undoubtedly values ​​time far less than when he was a human.

For fifty years, he simply conducted experiments that others found monotonous and incredibly boring, and indeed they were monotonous and incredibly boring.

It's not that he's become oblivious to time; it's just that nothing noteworthy has happened in the past fifty years.

Ikkyu successfully killed Barragan and used his "madness and unwavering belief" to gain followers in Hueco Mundo. In fifty years, he had already conquered half of Hueco Mundo's territory.

During Barragan's era as the King of Hueco Mundo, conquering a region only required the strongest Hollows there to acknowledge Barragan as the King of Hueco Mundo; they did not necessarily become Barragan's subordinates.

However, the era of Ikkyu as king was different. Within the sphere of his conquest, regardless of strength, all the voids had to be Ikkyu's followers and completely controlled by him.

Although the Grim Reapers hadn't discovered this news thanks to the joint efforts of Ikkyu and Yuan Yuan, Yuan Yuan was certainly aware of it. However, this news, which should have been shocking, didn't surprise Yuan Yuan at all.

From the moment Ikkyu accepted Yuan Yuan's conditions and chose to use the King's Jade Arrancar, this outcome was already predetermined.

Aside from this, the only other noteworthy event is that the Soul Society has experienced a surge in geniuses.

First, Hirako Shinji, Aikawa Raobu, and Kunan Shiro, whom Kyoraku Shunsui had instructed to take good care of, graduated. They then learned Bankai three years, four years, and seven years after graduation, respectively, and gained captain-level strength.

About ten years later, the petite and short-tempered Saruichi Himakaki, the seemingly intellectual but actually obsessive woman Yatomaru Lisa who can openly read books about human reproduction in public without batting an eye, and the adorable chubby guy, Arisouda Hachigen, who is exceptionally talented in Kido and has studied under Yuan Yuan for a period of time and is now the vice leader of the Kido Clan, all graduated from Central.

Fifty years later, another group of genius students is about to graduate from the Shinigami Academy and officially become Shinigami.

These people are:

A noble genius, Shiba Kaien, the eldest son of the great noble Shiba family, is a combat genius who unleashes many powerful techniques based on the abilities of his Zanpakuto.

Yoruichi Shihouin, a noble genius, is the next head of the prestigious Shihouin family. A prodigy, she possesses the four fundamental skills of a Shinigami (Death God). Her signature move is "Slash Fist Demon Walk," where "Slash" refers to swordsmanship. As the next head of the Shihouin family, she must serve as both the captain of the 2nd Division and the Chief of the Execution Army, so her swordsmanship is naturally exceptional.

Fists, close-quarters combat, are an intuitive fighting style that is so powerful that it is almost unbeatable; they can be said to be a natural weapon of war.

She can learn most of the demonic arts with just a glance; as for walking, she refers to Shunpo (instant step), and in terms of Shunpo, she was already famous in the Soul Society as the "God of Instant Step" before she even graduated.

With a wealthy family background, outstanding personal abilities, and an easygoing personality that allows him to chat with anyone, he can be described as a natural protagonist.

Kisuke Urahara is a genius from humble beginnings. He usually appears carefree and slovenly, with no sense of propriety whatsoever. However, he is capable of mastering more than eighty Kido techniques before graduation, and he is also a rare research talent. During his school years, he entered a research institute under the Technology Development Bureau through the connections of the Shihouin family.

Finally, there's the commoner genius, Aizen Sousuke, who is gentle and kind, always with a smile on his face, a good-natured person that anyone can see. He's the complete opposite of Yuan Yuan, the captain of the 7th Division, who always has a cold face and looks unapproachable.

He wields the water-type Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu, with unparalleled skill. During a simulated training exercise, he used the Zanpakuto's power to cause several Killian to fight each other. Despite his immense strength, he also enjoys calligraphy, exuding an elegant and refined aura that has captivated many single female Shinigami in Soul Society.

"Well, these are the students from this year's graduates that all the captains are willing to go to great lengths to recruit into their respective squads. I wonder if there are any students that the teachers want among them?"

Shinji Hirako, who had already filled the position of captain of the deceased Fifth Division and become a Shinigami captain, shook the documents in his hand and looked at Yuan Yuan with a helpless expression.

"Teacher, your squad hasn't had any new blood for many years. It's time to add some new members. The Captain-Commander has bothered me many times because you refuse to accept applications from graduates to join the squad."

He curled his lip, and the man, whose lazy personality hadn't changed much even after becoming captain, clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.

“That old man Chunshui doesn’t dare to bother you, teacher, so he bothers me every day. It’s driving me crazy.”

With a casual flick of his wrist, Yuan Yuan flicked out a highly compressed ball of spiritual energy, which slammed into Hirako Shinji's head. He spoke coldly.

"This is no reason for an idiot like you to bring two idiots to me. If Kyoraku Shunsui bothers you, that's your problem, go and handle it yourself, don't bother me. If you make me feel bad, you definitely won't feel good either."

"Teacher! I'm a man with a head full of muscles, how could I be an idiot?"

"Huh? I'm not an idiot, the stupid teacher is the idiot."

Years after graduation, Aikawa Rao, who increasingly seemed to rely on muscle for thinking, and Kunan Shiro, who increasingly seemed to rely on chest for thinking, simultaneously complained that Yuan Yuan had incidentally included them in the attack range when attacking Hirako Shinji.

A cold smile curled at the corners of Yuan Yuan's lips. Although his eyes were covered by a black cloth, the three of them still felt a chilling gaze sweep over them from every angle.

"It seems you've all forgotten what it means to say 'the teacher is always right' since you graduated too long ago. How about a long-awaited loving lesson?"

Trembling, the three finally recalled the terror of being dominated by Yuan Yuan and the humiliation of being imprisoned in the Love Classroom.

“Teacher, I think we have made great progress over the years, so we don’t need your loving instruction anymore.”

Knowing Hirako Shinji's tendency to betray his teammates, Aikawa Rao quickly spoke up before him, eliminating the possibility of him being pushed into hell.

Even though her brains flowed down and accumulated in her chest, proving the physics-based validity of the phrase "big breasts, no brains," Kunan Bai didn't act foolishly at this moment. She nodded frantically, indicating her agreement with Aikawa Luowu's words.

Making no attempt to hide his regret at not having let his teammates down, Hirako Shinji let out a loud sigh, and under the angry gazes of Luo Wu and Bai, shook the list in his hand again.

"Teacher, don't change the subject! Quickly tell me if there are any children you've chosen among them, so I can report back to Chunshui."

Raising an eyebrow, Yuan Yuan spoke in a rather sarcastic tone.

"When did you start to have the misconception that I need to change the subject when I'm with you?"

Despite being a high-ranking captain, Hirako Shinji showed no anger at being slighted when faced with Yuan Yuan's slightly mocking words.

"Yes, yes, it's all an illusion. I've never heard a word of praise from you since I started school, only sarcasm. So, now that you've finished sarcasm, shouldn't you tell me if there's anyone among these people you've taken a liking to?"

Frowning at Hirako Shinji's uninteresting reaction, Yuan Yuan lightly tapped his fingers on the table, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"I'll definitely take Urahara Kisuke in, but into the R&D Bureau. As for fresh blood for the squads... Yoruichi Shihouin isn't worth considering; she'll definitely join the family squad's second division, and I really don't like nobles, so she's out. Shiba Kaien, similarly, I don't like nobles, so she's out. As for Aizen..."

Just as Hirako Shinji was about to sigh, thinking that his teacher was going to turn down all the students again and refuse to admit any new blood, Yuan Yuan said something that surprised him.

"I'm actually quite interested in this graduate who's been described as the complete opposite of me."

Chapter 80 Aizen Sousuke's Melancholy (Part 1)

My name is Aizen Sousuke, male, 24 years old. I love calligraphy, have no bad habits, and am a graduate of the Shinigami Academy this year. Due to a series of recent events beyond my control, I have been unable to resist the urge to develop a relationship beyond friendship with a certain canine.

Even before I entered the True Central Academy of Sciences, I understood that I was different from those foolish ordinary people; I was smarter than any of them. Even the Grim Reaper they feared like a tiger, I could easily outwit them with my intelligence.

After entering the Shin-O, as I learned more and more, I became more and more convinced that I was different from others.

My wisdom, my spiritual power, my mind, everything about me, far surpasses theirs.

"I was born superior to them," I became increasingly convinced of this idea after my Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu, awakened. Because Kyoka Suigetsu's ability is to manipulate the five senses. With this ability, combined with my intelligence, it would only be a matter of time before I could manipulate the entire Soul Society.

Without even a second thought, I concealed the power of Mirror Flower Water Moon. Whenever I introduced it to others, I would say that Mirror Flower Water Moon's power was to generate water vapor to interfere with the enemy's vision, causing them to misjudge and attack their own teammates. With Mirror Flower Water Moon's power, it would be incredibly easy to fake such an effect.

And so, I hid my true self, outwardly appearing as a nice guy, while secretly accumulating strength.

Because I am different from Kisuke Urahara.

Kisuke Urahara, the man who uses his slovenly appearance to conceal his intelligence, is the only person in the entire Soul Society who can rival me in terms of "intelligence".

When I felt lonely because there was no one in the world who could speak to me as an equal, I was overjoyed to find him. I thought that he, who possessed the same wisdom as me, could surely become my partner, so that I wouldn't be so lonely when I carried out my plans and reached the pinnacle.

But after observing him for a while, I realized that we could never be partners.

Because, although this man possessed wisdom far exceeding that of ordinary people, just like mine, upon learning of the existence of the irrational "Spirit King" who ruled over all the Grim Reapers, he actually chose to compromise and accept his fate of being ruled, instead of plotting, like me, to kill the unreasonable "Spirit King" and take his place.

As expected, Aizen Sousuke was destined to be alone.

With this awareness, I planned, studied, and investigated intelligence all by myself.

I did everything all by myself.

If nothing unexpected happens, I should graduate with excellent grades, join any squad, and then, according to my plan, secretly manipulate the situation in the Soul Society, ultimately defeating that Soul King who I've never even met but dared to dream of ruling me.

But, as fate would have it, it happened.

Just as I expected, my excellent graduation made me a target for those idiot captains, who all wanted me to join their squads.

What I need to do next is pick the most brainless one among these captains and add him to his squad.

Hirako Shinji, with his long blond hair, perfectly aligned teeth, and goofy expression, is clearly a suspicious character who's also not very bright. Joining his squad would probably make executing the plan a bit easier.

Thinking this, I subtly revealed a flaw, such as a fleeting glint of ambition in my eyes. Sure enough, the blond man with the smug look on his face, who seemed inherently insecure and constantly observing his surroundings, noticed my unusual behavior immediately.

Seeing the seriousness in his eyes, I maintained my gentle smile, feeling increasingly satisfied with this fool. Yes, that's it. Quickly pull me into your squad, and use your stupidity to pave the way for my plans.

As expected, that blond idiot called my name, wanting me to join his squad. The other captains, who weren't much smarter than him, also started targeting him, openly or covertly, trying to pull me into their squads to be their laborers.

It's pathetic to be brainless.

Seeing that they had almost finished their discussion, I decided to speak up. As long as I said, "I want to join Captain Hirako Shinji's squad," this blond idiot, who had already gained the upper hand in the conversation, would be able to easily pull me into his squad.

However, before I could even open my mouth, a cold voice, with overwhelming force, drowned out all other sounds.

"I want Kisuke Urahara and Sosuke Aizen."

Holy crap, who's so arrogant? Even the captain didn't dare to say directly, "XXX, I want him."

Thankfully, my smile, which I've maintained for over a decade, prevented me from showing my inner thoughts on my face, allowing me to preserve my "Mr. Nice Guy" image.

However, anyone who dares to speak so arrogantly is either utterly brainless or has something to rely on. Judging from the captains' expressions, as if a typhoon had just passed through, it's probably the second possibility.

When did such a formidable figure appear in Soul Society, capable of suppressing all the captains? I've never found any information about such a person before.

Curious, I followed the sound, only to be shocked by what I heard. What was with that blindfold? Was he blind? No way, I don't want to work for a blind man!

The activation condition for "Mirror Flower Water Moon" is that the recipient must witness my liberation process. How can a blind person see my liberation?

I glanced at the other captains without making them obvious, and I sincerely hoped that someone would stand up and resist this domineering blind man.

but……

Hey, aren't you supposed to be the high and mighty Captain Grim Reaper? Where's your arrogance? Where's your domineering spirit? You let a blind guy embarrass you in front of the entire graduating class, aren't you angry? Aren't you furious? Stop acting like you're selectively blind and selectively deaf! Someone come up here, slam your fist on the table, and reprimand that blind guy!

Even though I kept encouraging those good-for-nothings in my heart, not a single one of them actually stood up, seemingly just acquiescing to the blind man's words.

With the thought of giving it one last try, I stepped out of the line, not caring whether the blind man could see or not. I first gave him a polite bow, and then…

Then I got stuck.

I know absolutely nothing about this blind man! I don't even know his name. Didn't the teacher just introduce all the team leaders present? Why didn't he mention this person's name?

Wait a minute, the blind man's expression... it's a smile, isn't it? A gloating smile, it must be. Could it be that he specifically instructed the teacher not to introduce him, just to wait and see the newcomer make a fool of himself?

Just how wicked must this person be to do something like this?

Chapter 81 Aizen Sousuke's Melancholy (Part Two)

"Yuan Yuan, captain of the 7th Division, and founder and director of the Technology Development Bureau."

Because of that one sentence, Kisuke Urahara, who had seemed to want to join me in resisting the blind tyranny, silently retreated again.

I said, even if this blind man is the founder of the Technology Development Bureau, someone you've always idolized, you can't change your mind so quickly.

Didn't you make plans with the dark-skinned young lady of the Shihouin family to go to her family's Second Division? You went to the Research and Development Bureau instead, what is she supposed to do? Wasn't your relationship quite ambiguous?

Well, Aizen Sousuke is a loner; he'll have to rely on himself.

"Captain Yuan Yuan, I prefer the Fifth Division, so I hope to join Captain Hirako's team."
