The only player in the world of Bleach

Although I haven't worked for many years, I've become quite adept at slacking off... Work really does make you age faster.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Matsushita Yusuke stood there, looking left and right, staring intently at the void in front of him, unable to look away for a long time.

His expression was somewhat complicated.

There was a mix of happiness and slight trepidation... and this complex emotion ultimately stemmed from the other person's appearance.

Humanoid, white base, bull's head mask, not good at speaking or communicating...

You little brat, you wouldn't happen to be the prototype of Xu Bai, would you?!

It's important to understand that the character Xu Bai in the original work is not a simple character.

He was a product of Aizen Sousuke's modification, forcibly incorporating the soul of a Shinigami... so logically speaking, doing so is actually quite normal.

However, we must take into account the situation that may arise later.

Before the story began, Hollow White could be said to have further fused with the Quincy's soul, forcibly corrupted it, and taken over its state.

You should know that in the original work, Isshin was really determined to get rid of Xu Bai from his wife.

Kisuke Urahara also helped out here...

But the two of them just couldn't find a solution.

To put it simply, even the most pungent plasters are insufficient to describe even a fraction of the sheer nausea and disgust caused by this grotesque behavior.

It's really tough...

Similar thoughts rose and fell in Matsushita Yusuke's mind, and soon a more concrete conclusion was reached.

'While possessing offensive capabilities, it also exhibits exceptional stability. Furthermore, it needs to be sufficiently resilient, among other characteristics…'

In conclusion, not everyone can withstand this kind of experimental pressure.

In fact, in the course of these years of experiments, the number of individuals that have been able to achieve fusion and reach a state of equilibrium is only about one hand.

This first level of screening alone is already a huge headache, and then to involve Quincy is simply a pipe dream.

No wonder that in the original work, after witnessing the final fate of Hollow White, Aizen Sousuke, who was watching from the sidelines, could not help but sigh.

This is not something that can be explained by miracles or not.

The only thing Matsushita Yusuke could think of at the moment was the script personally written by the Spirit King, Old Deng.

Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense to have so many 'coincidences'.

Ahem... Let's get back to the main topic.

While it is irresponsible to make arbitrary judgments based on appearances, Yusuke Matsushita believes that there is no harm in trying things out at present.

After all, this experimental subject was basically classified as a 'defective product' in the report, and it was an object that needed to be processed in depth.

Since I'll be destroyed anyway even if I don't conduct the experiment, I might as well try to put it to the test and see if the timeline is really as Old Deng designed it...

With this in mind, Matsushita Yusuke quickly made a decision.

He wants to bring this minotaur out and send it to Aizen to participate in the experiment!

Of course, before that... Yusuke Matsushita also had his own thoughts.

'Given the opportunity, I should try not to influence the plot. So... in this situation... what should I do to achieve things that align with my interests?'

Matsushita Yusuke wouldn't work for free; even if he was just doing Ryou's work, he would still have to leave himself some benefit.

After all, without any accumulation of experience and skills, even if one survives the purges of Karakura Town and the Soul King Palace, there's a high chance that Yhwach will target them during the Thousand-Year Blood War...

That old bastard is even more sinister than Lao Lan.

The latter company at least had fewer employees. Although they treated people like donkeys, they never did anything as ruthless as "Go and kill Tang Sanzang and his disciples."

Yhwabach was different.

—If you can't take down Yamamoto, you'll die with him!

What is the most important thing to do to defeat a villain who is not only strong but also cunning and treacherous?

Yusuke Matsushita quickly found the answer.

'I have to be more cunning, more careful, and more shameless than him!'

213: There's also Tang Sanzang's flesh? (Large chapter merged)

Having made up his mind, Matsushita Yusuke didn't linger and quickly prepared a series of experiments.

The bull's head must be handed over to Aizen.

Whether out of personal feelings or for the sake of controlling the plot, Yusuke Matsushita believed that Ichigo, the number one numerical monster in the three realms, had to exist.

Emotionally speaking, he had at least read the comics and knew the 'interesting' aspects of this blond kid's journey of overcoming setbacks and growing up.

People usually say he's a weirdo, all stats and no mechanics.

But if you were to actually do it yourself, who wouldn't want to rush into a bunch of brilliant pronouncements, and then, at the most glorious moment of the Soul Society defection arc, deliver a brutal blow to this kid?

Mmm~ Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

Moreover, there's still the Hueco Mundo and Thousand-Year Blood War arc to come, so even if it's related to the failed uprising in Lara, it doesn't matter. That blond kid's outstanding quality is his magnanimity...

He won't kill me if I apologize, right?

Logically speaking, based on his previous analysis, Matsushita Yusuke has reason to suspect that... this kid is part of the Soul King's long-term plan.

After all, Ichigo Kurosaki's birth can be said to be the 'final result' of countless coincidences.

After arriving at such an abnormal, unreasonable, and utterly incomprehensible result, Matsushita Yusuke felt he had no reason to stop this miracle from happening.

To put it nicely, it's about letting nature take its course.

To put it bluntly...

'No one can guarantee that if I suddenly make a move, some powerful figure won't suddenly turn against me.'

Lingwang Laodeng gazed at the future, and tore up the script he had written so eloquently.

Who knows, the monk who's currently lost in thought in the Spirit King's Palace might suddenly receive instructions from his master and rush over to deliver a Heaven-Piercing Palm strike...

It's unavoidable that we're not very good at things right now, but we should at least have some self-awareness.

Having grasped these fundamental principles, Yusuke Matsushita developed a more detailed and refined understanding of his own self-positioning.

He wouldn't try to stop those 'coincidental' events that were about to happen; in fact, if circumstances allowed, Matsushita Yusuke would even take the initiative to help.

Only in this way can one obtain as many benefits as possible while ensuring their own safety.

Yusuke Matsushita is putting this philosophy into practice at this moment.

'Analyze blood samples…'

'Debugging test samples, adversarial strength...'

'A trace amount of soul was extracted and compared with other samples for specific control...'

Considering that it's unclear how long Rōran has been researching the bull's head since he got his hands on it, Matsushita Yūsuke has to push the pace as fast as possible.

He quickly figured out what he needed to understand, then hurriedly compiled the results to see if he could actually profit from it.

And he actually did discover something...

What does "the soul is insoluble" mean?

Looking at the results report in front of him, Yusuke Matsushita couldn't help but scratch his head.

"You're not going to make up words out of thin air for me, it's really hard to understand them..."

His researchers, sweating profusely, hurriedly offered their explanations.

"No trouble at all... It's mainly to emphasize and highlight the uniqueness of this experimental subject. Through our investigation and analysis, we discovered that this experimental subject possesses extremely strong soul qualities."

Well known.

The primary mode of evolution for the Void is through devouring.

"We absorb the flesh and soul of other beings by devouring them, turning them into nutrients, and finally forming usable energy."

Up to this point, Matsushita Yusuke understood everything. Moreover, because his own alternate account was also playing 'Kirby' in the wild day and night, he had an even deeper understanding of the content and process of being devoured.

That's why Matsushita Yusuke showed such a surprised and astonished expression after seeing the conclusions reached.

"……What's this?"

Faced with their boss's question, the researchers nearby quickly provided a response.

"This is the result of our research! Based on the existing information, we have reason to believe that this special individual possesses a certain degree of digestive resistance... To put it simply, digesting it through engulfment is itself a very difficult task."

As they spoke, the other party provided a more detailed and meticulous report.

The document was covered in dense writing, but Matsushita Yusuke didn't seem to have any trouble with it... because he had already trained his researchers beforehand.

Documents need to be written and formatted using a fixed format.

By using this unified approach, Yusuke Matsushita can easily extract the important content that he wants to see.

It can be said to be very convenient and simple.

"We cut off parts of the flesh and tissue of special individuals and gave them to ordinary Hollows and Hollows for them to devour."

The results varied.

"The Great Hollow exhibited significant physiological discomfort, specifically manifested as decreased appetite, slowed reflexes, and even cessation of activity... bordering on hibernation. Based on the post-dissection analysis, we discovered that the main cause lay in the process of 'digestion'."

After a brief pause, the other person continued.

"We found undigested tissue residue in the Hollow's stomach, and subsequent analysis proved that this was the part possessed by the special individual..."

It possesses digestive resistance.

This statement sounds quite strange, but after combining it with examples, Yusuke Matsushita also had a general idea of ​​the direction.

He didn't respond immediately, but stared silently at the report in front of him, pondered for a while, and then raised his hand to rub his chin.

Then he spoke slowly.

"You mean, in order to digest the tissues inside their stomachs, Hollows need to devote most of their energy to their bodies, to the point that they enter a state similar to hibernation..."

In the end, even the Great Hollow only managed to digest about one-third of it.

The latter remained silent, choked up for a moment, and then slowly nodded.

"Yes... based on the sample, it's about this size of meat slice."

Yusuke Matsushita looked over.

It was a piece of meat no more than the width of an index finger and the thickness of a bottle cap.

While it's unclear exactly from which part of the body it was cut from, it certainly wasn't the contents of a vital organ...

This little thing almost 'digested' the Hollow to death?

Yusuke Matsushita, like a bewildered Tom the cat, rubbed his head and then lay back down in his chair.

Things that are too far beyond common sense can easily give people a feeling of incomprehension.

Okay, anyway, I'll try to accept this setting for now.

And thinking about it carefully...

'Is it probably because they are inherently difficult to handle, like a persistent, annoying pest, that others find them troublesome?'

After all, this is something that even Kisuke Urahara struggled with, so explaining it in this way seems plausible.

After pondering this over and over for a while, Matsushita Yusuke nodded slightly and turned his gaze back.

Then...

He couldn't help but spit it out.

"A normal Hollow exploded and died immediately after eating it?!"

So this isn't Tang Monk's flesh, it's TNT explosives?

The researchers seemed to find the results too incredible, and at that moment they looked constipated as they spoke.

"That's right... We've been trying to cut the tissue into more detailed sections, and we've now subdivided it to a size about the size of a little fingernail."

But even so.

"Even ordinary Hollows will die after struggling in agony because they cannot digest the food."
