Bleach: Traveling through Soi-Fong, Starting from Bankai

"I guess you must have had a hard time these days."

"Governing a virtual kingdom and balancing the virtual kings is a tough job."

Stark's eyes widened, with shock and confusion in them.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to mute you."

Masked Soi Fong waved her hand and released the restriction.

"Ugh! Your Majesty, and Bylergan, what's going on?!"

Stark was able to speak again, and immediately began to question:

"Why, Your Majesty, have you left the throne and abandoned us?"

"Why did you steal the crown and wear it yourself, Bylergan?"

"And what's with the tone of yours that seems to know everything?!"

"We've known each other for so many years, why are you hiding this from me?!"

"What on earth are you planning?!"

His mind was filled with doubts, and the more questions he asked, the more hysterical he became.

There is no doubt that the power in Soi Fong is the savior of Hueco Mundo, the former King of Hollows, and the great existence that fills the void of the Ten Hollows!

But one day, she tore off the crown and escaped through space!

And Bylergan, the de facto governor of Hueco Mundo, is the Skull Emperor who sits in Hueco Mundo.

He was able to rule the kingdom of Xu for hundreds of years, diligently and conscientiously, but in the end he abandoned his friends and people, stole the crown, and became a mindless walking corpse in the desert!

Stark had to take on this responsibility, even though he was not good at it, but he still worked hard to support the development of Hueco Mundo to this day.

But now, the two people in front of him seemed to know some secret and were hiding something from him?!

How could he bear this?

His hatred overflowed from his eyes, and he rushed towards Masked Soi Fong even more:

"Once upon a time, I was your most loyal warrior, and the first Hollow you enlightened!!"

"Why, you don't want to trust me and let me participate?!"

"Even if... I don't know anything, I'm willing to go through fire and water for you!!"

After hearing Stark's angry roar and questioning, Masked Broken Bee smiled helplessly:

"Stark, I'm not planning anything. I left without any choice."

"As for the reason... I'm sorry, I can't tell you."

"I can only say that the current developments are beyond the predictions of you, me, or Bylergan."

"But we are still on the most hopeful timeline."

"As for Bylergan..."

"Let me explain, Your Majesty."

The skeleton stood up, looking thin and vulnerable, like an old man on his last legs.

He took over the conversation from Masked Soi Fong and said to Stark:

"I didn't plan anything. I was just as confused and helpless as you were at the beginning."

"Until...I wore the crown."

He stretched out his bony knuckles and knocked on the crown on his head:

"Initially, I just wanted to improve my strength so that I could better protect the outer boundary of Hueco Mundo."

"We all know that His Majesty is essentially the same as us, and we all belong to the Vastod Hollow."

"The reason I reached a higher level is that I found this crown in the deepest part of the desert."

"When I put it on, I learned a lot...but I'm sorry, Stark, I can't tell you."

"I also made my own choice based on the information I knew - just like your majesty did."

Byakugan greeted the masked Soi Fong, who nodded with a look of pity.

"Wait, I don't understand?"

"What's wrong with the crown? Why can't you tell me?"

Bailegang shook his head and said:

"This isn't a matter of trust, Stark."

"Your Majesty said, 'He who wears the crown must bear its weight.'"

"We're not telling you in riddles. This is your choice."

Although Bylergan was just a skeleton, Stark could feel him smile with relief:

"Thanks to your majesty's choice, we still have a chance of survival."

"Stark, after I die, you can choose to wear it or not."

"No matter which one you choose, it's all the same. The ending is the same."

After saying this, Byakugan looked at Soi Fong:

"Your Majesty, my mission is accomplished."

Soi Fong, wearing a mask, shook her head.

"That's your choice—in any case, thank you, Bylergan."

Bylergan nodded and said to the two of them:

"Goodbye, Stark. It's been a pleasure working with you all these years."

"Your Majesty, please proceed."

He tore open his tattered robe, revealing the bones on his chest:

"Kill me and anchor this timeline—the only one that gives Xu hope!"

Stark still couldn't understand:

"What? Why did Bylegon have to die?"

"Now that he has regained his sanity, shouldn't he return to continue protecting our kingdom?"

Soi-Fong, wearing a mask, said:

"If I remove this spiritual pressure, Bylergan will return to his zombie form."

"And my Reiatsu won't last long."

She raised her head and said:

"Bailagan, I am already dead. I shouldn't have made a choice that would determine the direction of the world."

"I need to talk to myself."

After saying that, she closed her eyes.

Chapter 55 Conversation

In the world of mind, in the distance is a slowly flowing blood-red river, surrounded by pure white deserts and hills.

White Bee appeared here, looked around, and found Bee standing on the edge of the cliff.

She stepped forward:

"Did you hear everything, Soi-Feng?"

"Although I was controlling the body, commonly known as a substitute player, the audio and video were broadcast simultaneously."

Shirobe tried to create a humorous conversation, but Soibe didn't accept it.

She turned around and asked in a serious tone:

"who are you?"

"..."

Seeing that Shiro Soi-Fong didn't answer, Soi-Fong's tone became stern:

"I thought you were my Zanpakutō, and I also considered whether you might be the manifestation of Hollow power."

"But now it seems that you are not."

"Tell me, who are you?"

White Bee scratched his head and said:

"Alas, we don't need to talk so seriously."

"Let me first tell you what you care about most—"

"First, I don't have any weird long-term plans."

"Second, I have no intention of using you or harming you."

After finishing her words in one breath, Bai Suifeng continued:

"Now you can talk about me."

"Actually, you're not wrong. I am your Zanpakutō and the embodiment of your Hollow power."

"From the moment you contracted the 'Void Poison', we have become one."

Upon hearing this, Soi-Feng was startled and asked:

"Isn't the Hollow Poison Aizen's doing?"

"Although Aizen was indeed causing trouble at the time, the Hollow Poison incident really had nothing to do with him."

Shiraibe helped Aizen get rid of the blame he had been carrying for a long time and continued to explain:

"I was knocked down to the Soul Society, my body and soul scattered, and I just happened to bump into you."

"If I hadn't become one with you, you would have died the night you went out to pursue Yoruichi, wanting to help her."

"And before this happened, I was, as you have heard, the 'King of Hollows' who ruled over Hueco Mundo."

Under Soi-Fong's shocked gaze, White Soi-Fong told her story.

She used to be a young woman working at Blue Star.

One day after overtime work, I got lucky and came to Hueco Mundo!

After an unknown amount of fighting, she regained consciousness.

After wandering for an unknown amount of time, she broke through the mask on her own and regained her memories of her previous life.

At the bottom of the desert thousands of feet thick in Hueco Mundo, she found a crown.

After wearing it, she broke through the limits of the Hollow and became a Transcendent.

Afterwards, she followed the guidance of her memory and found Stark, Bylergan, Nelliel and others in the original work. She used the power to fill the voids given to her by the crown to allow the big hollows to completely break their faces and establish a kingdom of hollows!

At this point, Bai Suifeng asked:

"You also have memories of the original story. Did you come to Hueco Mundo and see the ninth ranked guy?"

Broken Bee shook his head.

"That's right, because he's dead—I ate him."

White Bee revealed a shocking secret:

"The Great Hollow of the Ninth Throne is not the Aronillo of the original novel, but a little fellow I admire very much."

"One day, while I was chatting and laughing with her, the crown came to life."

"I can feel a terrible hunger coming from the crown."

"It took over my body and, while I was conscious, devoured the Ninth Throne's Great Void alive."

Bai Suifeng's tone became lowered:

"Can you imagine? Since I gained consciousness, I have never devoured a single Hollow."
