The only player in the world of Bleach

The source of this strange feeling is the Spirit King Palace behind me!

'Is he using the power of the Spirit King?'

Having been in close contact with the flood of information about the Soul King, Matsushita Yusuke is now one of the few individuals in this world who has a clear understanding of the Soul King's power and aura.

Although it's still unclear what this means... Yusuke Matsushita didn't delve into it for the time being.

What he cared about was the methods that Hyōjubu was currently employing.

'It's reasonable for the members of Squad Zero to be able to be resurrected, but I hadn't paid much attention to the specific methods used before…'

The original work only describes the revival process of Hyosubu in a simple sense.

However, the monk's methods were also quite careless...

He could even piece together these shattered remains of flesh and blood and restore them to their original form simply by calling his name.

This is definitely a power that transcends the Three Realms. And by combining it with the original work, we can roughly conclude that it is because this guy is 'deeply bound to the Spirit King'.

After all, he is the owner of this entire Three Realms, and in a sense, the Eye Monk is like a special player with certain privileges...

With this in mind, it seems reasonable to have some inhuman privileges.

So, what about the members of Squad Zero?

If there were any doubts before, now that he has seen the process in detail, Yusuke Matsushita has more or less come to his senses.

I see……

The Soul King's spiritual pressure comes from these differentiated limbs and parts.

Within these rolling torrents of gold, he keenly discerned those special parts belonging to the Spirit King.

Finger bones...

"You left some parts of the Spirit King for them to implant, and then you could revive them using this method?"

As the light on the island gradually faded, several familiar figures stood up again and approached...

"Is this what you mean by 'as long as the Spirit King doesn't die, you will also be eternally immortal'?"

Faced with Matsushita Yusuke's question, the latter readily agreed and nodded without hesitation.

"It's slightly different, but it's pretty much the same!"

He wouldn't normally be so frank.

There are always exceptions, especially when it comes to matters strongly related to the Spirit King.

Hyosubu readily agreed.

"The power of the Spirit King is vast and boundless. Even a fraction of it is incredibly precious to us servants... We must use it with utmost care."

As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and began to mutter softly as if he were deeply ashamed.

"My Lord Spirit King, please forgive your subordinate's incompetence."

As they chanted this, the figures gradually approached from afar, eventually landing on the front hall of the Spirit King.

These were the Four Divine Generals who had been killed by Matsushita Yusuke earlier.

If these people were originally quite individualistic and looked down on Matsushita Yusuke... now they have all changed significantly.

Caution, prudence, hostility, complexity...

Such gazes were numerous, but Matsushita Yusuke didn't seem to care much about their opinions.

He simply glanced at the Hyōju-bu (Hyōju-bu) and wore a calm expression.

"Can I leave after I save the person's life?"

"Of course, but I hope you won't forget your promise to Lord Spirit King."

"Of course I won't forget."

“Shutara, let’s see him off.”

The latter, whose name was called, nodded slightly, maintaining his reserved expression.

"Chengzhi."

Then, he turned to look at Yusuke Matsushita and said calmly.

"Please accompany me, Captain Matsushita."

"……please."

Yusuke Matsushita walked forward slowly.

As he passed by the other three, the tense and complicated gazes they gave him made him feel uneasy.

But they didn't say anything until the very end, and Matsushita Yusuke naturally ignored them.

Only three people squeezed into the teleportation device and began to fall rapidly back down to the lower realm...

An eerie silence.

However, it did not last long.

"That's a brilliant tactic, Captain Matsushita."

Shutara Senjumaru spoke, but her tone was rather sarcastic and contained a hint of resentment and complaint.

"My neck is still aching slightly."

Yusuke Matsushita coughed twice, slightly adjusting his emotions as he spoke.

Do you still retain any memories from before?

"Of course, we can even find out what you did afterwards..."

The Spirit King's power is manifest in every aspect, and I never expected it to be so evident at a time like this.

At this point, Shutara Senjumaru looked to his side with a complicated expression, then pondered for a moment before speaking.

"I thought you would be treated as an insolent person and dealt with by the captain, but I never expected... that someone like you could be treated with such respect."

how to say?

"Truly, life is unpredictable."

She shook her head with a sigh, while Matsushita Yusuke, standing beside her, smiled but showed no intention of joining in.

After all, just an hour ago the two sides were fighting to the death, and now they were talking and laughing... This was quite difficult for him.

Fortunately, Shutara Senjumaru wasn't one to force anyone, and after realizing that Matsushita Yusuke had no desire to communicate, he toned it down a bit.

Of course, there are only a few.

"Did you already know we could be resurrected?"

She glanced at her sideways and said in a subtle tone.

"Otherwise, based on your experience so far, I really can't believe that someone like you could be so ruthless when you start."

"Uh... I had some expectations."

"Ah, just as I thought."

Shutara Senjumaru chuckled and turned his head to the side.

Then.

"I'm afraid my neck will ache every time it rains from now on."

"……Feel sorry."

What should we do if we investigate now?

"Forget it, there's no point in talking to you about this."

As she spoke, she turned to look at the girl in Matsushita Yusuke's arms. Shutara Senjumaru's gaze softened slightly...

"Now that you've been recognized by the Spirit King, you'll surely have more opportunities to visit the Spirit King's Palace in the future. Remember to bring this little girl with you then... I still have quite a few interesting toys on my island."

Before Matsushita Yusuke could respond, the girl in his arms had already responded with a "ya".

The little guy didn't seem to have any clear feelings throughout the whole process.

After all, regardless of her condition, Yusuke Matsushita was most concerned about the changes in this girl's condition... He was determined not to let her suffer any more harm.

Perhaps that's why the girl seemed to have absolutely no pressure.

With a sigh, Yusuke Matsushita could only smile helplessly.

"I probably won't come up anytime soon... After all, the Spirit King probably wouldn't want to see me."

The two parties are not in a superior-subordinate relationship, and there is no need for performance reviews. Therefore, staying away from this guy who seems like a giant AI is the best course of action.

Then it's about finding ways to improve one's own abilities.

While pondering this, Shutara Senjumaru lowered the device above the clouds.

After narrowing his eyes for a moment, Matsushita Yusuke looked down.

The Soul Society came into view... Reflecting on how small his own place was, Matsushita Yusuke's thoughts began to wander.

How do I get there after I get back?

After all, the biggest gain from this trip was confidence in the future.

If they were originally 'rebels' in the literal sense, they have now probably transformed into 'being ordered to suppress traitors'.

I guess I'm now considered one of the Spirit King's people...

Therefore, the one who most needs to be dealt with and explained is ultimately Aizen Sousuke.

'Let's take it one step at a time... there's no rush anyway.'

As he pondered this, Shutara Senjumaru returned to the device.

She stood several meters away, slightly raised her chin, and said with a hint of disdain.

"Although you are now a distinguished guest of the Spirit King, I still can't bring myself to like someone like you... Oh well, please take care of me from now on."

They arrived with grace and left with power.

As he watched as this one of the few generals he had personally beheaded was pushed back to the clouds, Matsushita Yusuke slowly withdrew his gaze.

He didn't have to wait long; soon... a group of people visibly gathered around.

In fact, to prevent any unnecessary impact, Shutara Senjumaru had already adjusted the landing point to a more remote location.

If you calculate carefully, it's probably only one digit of the Rukongai district.

Those who could live nearby were no longer considered unemployed, and after a brief conversation, Matsushita Yusuke managed to calm everyone down.

After waiting in place for nearly ten minutes...

A very familiar figure came into view.

The person in charge was none other than Chojiro Sasakibe.

His expression was grave, and his steps were equally hurried. It was as if he were searching for something important, and upon entering, he immediately began looking around...

It wasn't until he met Yusuke Matsushita that he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness.

"Captain Matsushita, I'm so glad you're alright!"

It's impossible to judge the sincerity of the other person's words, but regardless, this happiness does have an indescribable sense of reality.

Yusuke Matsushita smiled faintly and nodded slightly.

"This matter is quite complicated... I'd better not talk about it. The Captain-Commander should be waiting for me, right?"

The latter nodded decisively, seemingly swallowing back the words that were about to come out, and then spoke seriously.

"The Commander-in-Chief is ready to see you, but before that..."

"...?"

Before that?

To be honest, within the Gotei 13, Matsushita Yusuke could hardly imagine anything more important than meeting Yamamoto.

As he pondered this, he followed the other person's gaze and finally fixed it on the spot in front of him.
