Bleach: Getting Stronger Starting from Teaching at the Spiritual Arts Academy

Shikatori Hakunsai had long since mastered the art of intangibility.

July doesn't discriminate against Hollow powers and doesn't think that Shinigami possessing Hollow powers are abnormal.

Under the influence of July, Shikatori Hakunsai also accepted the power of the Hollow.

"Understood," Komamura Sajin said solemnly. "Please grant me power, Master!"

......

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni leads a team to Hell to search for Yhwach's whereabouts.

The one currently acting as the Captain-Commander is Yagyu Danzo, the Chief Judge of the 46th Chamber of Sages.

After assuming the duties of acting captain-commander, Yagyu Danzo immediately went to the First Division's examination room to carefully review the resumes of each division's captain and vice-captain.

The captain's and vice-captain's resumes are also available in the 46th Chamber, but the one the 46th Chamber received is not as detailed as the one kept by the First Division, and it lacks many details.

Nominally, both the 46 Chambers and the 13th Division of the Gotei 13 are now under the control of Yagyu Danzo, making him the most powerful person in the Seireitei.

However, after hundreds of years of hard work and struggle within the Forty-Six Chambers, Yagyu Danzo was no longer the Yagyu Kenpachi who could charge to the front lines on the battlefield.

He knew very well that the position of acting captain was just a nominal title, and whether he could control the Gotei 13 would depend on how many captains he could win over.

"Yoruichi Shihouin, Kana Azajo, Sosuke Aizen, Kensei Muguruma, and Isshin Shiba are all disciples of Nanatsu Shikatori, as is the lieutenant of the Fourth Division. Not only that, even the son of Aozumi Kuchiki is his disciple!"

"This man's prestige within the Gotei 13 is probably no less than that of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni!"

Yagyu Dan secretly considered which captains he could recruit.

Then it was discovered that most of the squad captains and vice-captains had close ties with Shikatori Nanatsuki!

"This person is quite troublesome... However, Captain Aikawa Rao, who comes from Rukongai, could be bribed."

Yagyu Danzo didn't intend to directly suppress the Shikatori school of thought; if he did, he would probably be sidelined in no time.

"Given their relationship with Shihouin Yoruichi and Azashiro Kana, I don't have any leverage to sway them..."

"Back then, I was the one who took over Kenpachi's position from Retsu Unohana. I should at least remember our past relationship. However, given her personality, I doubt she'll help me. At most, she'll remain neutral."

Yagyu Danzo ruled out the idea of ​​winning over Unohana Retsu. He knew very well how terrifying Unohana Retsu was, and bypassing her was the best option.

"Kuchiki Soujun... The Kuchiki family are stubborn and can be easily manipulated if handled properly."

"Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro are both captains of the Yamamoto lineage. We need to find an opportunity to sow discord between them and the Shikatori lineage."

"Shiba Isshin... never mind."

Yagyu Danzo automatically ruled out the idea of ​​winning over Shiba Isshin. To the upper-class nobles, the Shiba family was a disgrace to the nobility, and there was no possibility of winning them over.

“Aizen Sousuke and Mukkale Kensei are both captains born in Rukongai. Perhaps we could try to bribe them.”

Yagyu Danzo believed that even in a master-disciple relationship, there were opportunities to poach talent.

Especially those born in Rukongai, who have not seen much of the world, have even lower moral standards.

Driven by the pursuit of profit, even the strongest master-disciple relationship can crack.

Chapter 406 The Changes of Hell

Somewhere in hell.

This is a place that could drive you crazy if you look at it too much.

Skulls piled up into mountains, and blood gathered into blackish-red rivers that flowed into the distance.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, mixed with endless wails.

Two figures arrived at the cave entrance of a certain Skull Mountain.

They are Yhwach and Tetsuya Miyamoto, whom the Hell Expeditionary Force is searching for.

A pink-haired man stood guard in front of the Skull Mountain cave.

He was none other than Szayelaporro, who was killed by Death!

Moreover, the current Szayelaporro looks completely different from the past; he has evolved into an Arrancar.

Not long after Szayelaporro fell into Hell, he encountered Tetsuya Miyamoto, who was in charge of Hell.

Szayelaporro was very interested in what Tetsuya Miyamoto was doing, and the two hit it off immediately.

They collected the power that the Lord of Hell had scattered throughout Hell and created the Hōgyoku, which contained the power of Hell.

Szayelaporro, using the Hellfire Hōgyoku, shed his mask and evolved into a Hollowfied Arrancar.

"Is this the place? The heart of this world."

Yhwach ignored Szayelaporro, his four pupils coldly surveying the cave, all sorts of possible futures appearing in his eyes.

"This is it. Please unlock the seal inside!"

Miyamoto Tetsuya gestured for Yhwach to go inside.

This eerie place is the core of the hellish world.

At the same time, this is the place where the consciousness of the Lord of Hell is sealed.

"Then let's get started."

Without hesitation, Yhwach stepped directly into the Skull Cave.

His alliance with the Lord of Hell is quite fragile.

The Lord of Hell invited him here to help break the seal.

His decision to accept the Lord of Hell's invitation was not solely due to the Hogyoku, which contained the power of Hell.

He came here to seize the power of the Lord of Hell!

There are no roads inside the Skull Cave; once inside, it's a pitch-black space.

In the center of the pitch-black space, countless spiritual energy spells intertwined, forming six chains that tightly bound the still-beating heart in the middle.

That beating heart is the embodiment of the hellish consciousness.

He is already intimately connected with Hell itself, and no matter how many times He is destroyed, He will be reborn in Hell with the help of Hell's power.

Therefore, when the Soul King relinquished the power of Hell, his solution was to seal it away.

The chains formed by countless intertwined spiritual energy spells were the seal set up by the Spirit King.

This is a heart that cannot be destroyed by conventional means.

But Yhwach wanted to accept the power of Hell, just like the Soul King had done before.

Having absorbed this power, it destroyed the will of the Lord of Hell.

At that time, Yhwach will become the new Lord of Hell!

"These seals are the methods of the Quincy."

Yhwach glanced at it and immediately recognized the type of seal, which was exactly what he was best at dealing with.

With a raised right hand, a massive six-pointed star array of spiritual particles suddenly appeared in the air.

The spiritual particles within the spiritual particle spell chains were quickly stripped away by the six-pointed star array in the air.

After losing the support of the spirit particles, the spirit particle spells on the chains collapsed one after another.

The chains formed by the spiritual energy spells quickly shattered and dissipated in the air.

In the center of the pitch-black space, the beating heart, no longer bound by the chains of the spirit particle spell, suddenly amplified its beating sound by more than ten times, like thunder deafening the ears.

Thump-thump—thump-thump—thump-thump—

Immediately afterwards, his heart melted rapidly into a scarlet liquid, just like a burning candle.

The heart quickly transformed into a scarlet vortex.

"Ha ha ha ha ha--"

A chilling, grating laugh emanated from the crimson vortex.

The next moment, the crimson vortex rolled toward Yhwach.

But the crimson vortex did not attack Yhwach; instead, it fell into the Hōgyoku in his hand, which contained the power of hell.

The Lord of Hell shares the same idea as Yhwach!

He wanted more than just to escape his predicament.

He was also eyeing Yhwach's Quincy power!

The Lord of Hell possesses the power of the Shinigami, Hollows, and Hell, but not the power of the Quincy.

The Quincy's power is the final piece of the puzzle for Him to reach the Soul King realm!

At the same time, Yhwach did not hinder the actions of the Lord of Hell.

He also has enough confidence in himself to believe that he can win this winner-takes-all battle.

A moment later, the crimson vortex completely entered the Hōgyoku.

Yhwach's eyes remained calm as he simply watched everything unfold.

"Yhwabach, it seems you are very confident in yourself."

A chilling voice emanated from within the crimson Hōgyō.

This Hellhōgyoku was originally made from fragments scattered throughout Hell by the Lord of Hell. After being fused with it, it directly gained control of the Hellhōgyoku's power.

"Of course, I have already seen your future."

Yhwach said calmly.

"Hehehehe..." A chilling laugh echoed from within the crimson Hōgyō.

"Can eyes see the future?"

"Do you know why I was able to seize the opportunity of the destruction of the Invisible Empire and send Miyamoto Tetsuya to invite you?"

"Although Miyamoto Tetsuya and Szayelaporro couldn't break the seal, they gave me more power to use."

“I saw your predicament through those lives that came to an abrupt end.”

The Lord of Hell, as a half-body that was split off from the past Spirit King, possesses the ability to 'see the past'.

If Yhwach saw the future as the end of a series of long lines.

The past that the Lord of Hell sees is a series of ever-extending lines.

If the line suddenly stops, it can be determined that the person is dead.

With the help of Tetsuya Miyamoto and Szayelaporro, the Lord of Hell can use more power, and even while in Hell, he can see the past of people in the three realms.

When Death invaded the Wandenreich, the Lord of Hell witnessed the deaths of a large number of elite Quincy.

He seized this opportunity and sent Tetsuya Miyamoto to the Guhyasamaja Empire to invite Yhwach to Hell.

"You can see the past, but that doesn't change your future."

Yhwach caught the floating Hellhōgyoku.

"Then give it a try."

The Lord of Hell knew very well that the future Yhwach saw was only one possibility, and one among millions of possibilities.

Although His death god powers were sealed away in another place by the Soul King, He still possesses the powers of Hollows and Hell, and has an environmental advantage in Hell. By all accounts, He has a greater chance of winning.

"Before that, we need to find another place. The records of the Grim Reapers also contain information about this sealed place. They will find it soon."

Yhwach had already foreseen the future where Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni would find this place, so instead of immediately fusing with the Hogyoku, which contained the will of hell, he chose to find another place first.

Neither Yhwach nor the Will of Hell can devour the other in a short time; it is a protracted war, so they need a place where they can remain undisturbed.

Chapter 407 New official takes office

Soul Society.

Acting Captain-Commander Yagyu Danzo summoned the captains of each division to the First Division's council hall.

"They're all here."

When Kyoraku Shunsui stepped into the council hall, he discovered that he was the last one to arrive.
