In Soul Society, I just want to retire

"What the hell is going on?" Kurosaki Ichigo looked confused.

Who am I?

Am I not Kurosaki Ichigo? Am I not a Shinigami agent? But I can Hollowify, I've mastered Fullbring, and I... I also possess the power of a Quincy.

What kind of monster am I?

The melancholy little prince became even more melancholy.

There was a confusing rain falling from the sky, and Ichigo Kurosaki was standing in the rain.

Just when he was at a loss, an umbrella suddenly appeared above his head. Ichigo Kurosaki looked back and saw that the person standing behind him was Gin Ichimaru.

"Ichimaru Gin? Why are you here?" Ichigo Kurosaki asked in surprise.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this question? This is the entrance of the third squad. Why are you here? Don't get wet in the rain. Come in quickly." Gin Ichimaru brought Ichigo Kurosaki to the third squad.

Now Ichigo Kurosaki lacks someone to talk to, so he can only tell his inner distress to Gin Ichimaru.

Who can tell me what I am?

"So you are troubled by such a problem." Ichimaru Gin smiled, his eyes suddenly became sharp, as if he was thinking about something.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, I know someone who might be able to unravel your psychological doubts," Gin Ichimaru said.

"Who?"

"Aizen Sosuke." said Gin Ichimaru.

Ichigo Kurosaki's pupils contracted instantly.

"Why does Aizen know my background?" Kurosaki Ichigo was very puzzled.

Ichimaru Gin narrowed his eyes and took a sip of hot tea. "As you know, I've been undercover beside Aizen for a hundred years and know a lot of things that others don't. Just over a decade before you were born, Captain Aizen seemed to be researching something. Later I found out that the person he was researching wasn't Aizen himself, but you."

Ichigo Kurosaki was even more confused.

"Just before you entered Soul Society, Aizen was always worried because he couldn't completely fuse with the Hogyoku. But after you broke into Soul Society, Aizen used your combat data to solve the problem of fusing with the Hogyoku, and became the person he is today. So I guess... the mystery of your life experience is very likely related to Aizen." Ichimaru Gin said.

"But... Aizen is now in prison... How can I see him?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked anxiously.

A very ridiculous thought even came to his mind: Could it be that his biological father was not Kurosaki Isshin, but Aizen?

Of course he quickly shook the thought off.

No matter what the result is, we will have to wait until we meet Aizen to find out.

"Don't worry, it's not that difficult to enter the Abyss of Hell. Captain-level strongmen are qualified to enter the Abyss of Hell. It's just that every prisoner has a seal on his body, and the captain-general must nod to lift the seal. In other words, I can create an opportunity for you to meet Aizen." Ichimaru Gin said with a smile.

Of course these words were false. Before this, Yamabuki Detang had already arranged everything.

Ichigo Kurosaki was overjoyed and immediately went to the hell to see Aizen.

Gin Ichimaru was actually a little curious about Ichigo Kurosaki's identity.

Chapter 42: A disguised way of returning to one’s roots?

Infinite hell.

This was not the first time Ichigo Kurosaki came here. He came here once before when Yamabuki Detang sealed Aizen.

Even though this was his second time, he still felt very uncomfortable.

The Avici Hell is just as described, it is truly an endless hell without even a ray of light.

Under the guidance of Gin Ichimaru, Ichigo Kurosaki finally met Aizen.

"Nice to meet you again, Kurosaki Ichigo. I didn't expect that you would be the first person to come to see me." Aizen said gently.

Gin Ichimaru, who was standing next to him, had a hurt expression on his face: "Captain Aizen, are you pretending not to see me?"

Aizen smiled gently: "Gin, have you been okay lately?"

"Thanks to you, I'm living a pretty good life." Ichimaru Gin narrowed his eyes.

He is truly worthy of being Captain Aizen. Even though he has become a prisoner, his sacred temperament is still incomparable to that of ordinary people.

"Okay, Gin, since you are doing well, you can go out first. I have something to say to Ichigo Kurosaki." Aizen ordered him to leave without any hesitation.

"How heartless, Kurosaki Ichigo. If anything special happens, just call me." Ichimaru Gin said with a smile.

Afterwards, Gin Ichimaru left the hell.

"Okay, Ichigo Kurosaki, what exactly do you want to say to me?" Aizen asked.

Kurosaki Ichigo bravely asked, "What am I?"

"I see. It seems you have reached the stage of self-discovery." Aizen smiled and said, "What do you think you are?"

Ichigo Kurosaki gritted his teeth and said, "If I knew the answer to the question, I wouldn't have to ask you."

He was curious. There were so many people in the world, why was he the only one who had integrated so much power?

It seems like the whole world is on my side.

Aizen smiled and said, "This story started more than ten years ago. Kurosaki Ichigo, you know the identities of your parents, right? Your father is a Shinigami, and your mother is a Quincy. You know that they combined the power of both Shinigami and Quincy. But... do you know how the Hollow White came about?"

Ichigo Kurosaki felt that the examples he gave were very close to the truth.

"Haku was actually created by me. He is my most perfect masterpiece. You can even say that it was all my conspiracy from the very beginning. The meeting between your father and mother, the encounter with Haku after the meeting, your mother's injury, and then your father's sacrifice to save her, all of this was part of my plan." Aizen smiled.

When Ichigo Kurosaki heard Aizen say this, his blood ran cold. Who would have thought that his birth was actually a huge conspiracy and that he had been growing up under surveillance from the very beginning.

"There is one more thing I forgot to tell you. Do you think you have never seen Mirror Flowers and Water Moon? Actually, you are wrong. On the day you were born, I sneaked into the hospital and released Mirror Flowers and Water Moon on you when you were still a baby. If I really wanted to kill you when you and I were fighting, it would be too easy." Aizen said gently.

Ichigo Kurosaki felt like a fool, being played around with.

However, Ichigo Kurosaki has grown up now. He is no longer the little boy he used to be, and his character has also matured a lot.

After taking a deep breath, Ichigo said calmly: "I won't be angry, thank you for telling me all this."

Aizen's next words made Kurosaki Ichigo feel like he was falling into an icy cave: "Do you think this is the whole truth? You are too naive. What I know is only a tiny part of the truth. Do you know who is behind all this?"

Ichigo Kurosaki never thought that there would be a twist in the story. Could it be that the mastermind behind all this was not Aizen Sosuke?

"I was just an ordinary Shinigami at that time. How could I have so many resources? Someone instructed me to do this." Aizen said.

Ichigo Kurosaki was shocked. Could it be... could it be that there is someone else behind Aizen?

"Who is it?" asked Kurosaki Ichigo.

"He also knew your parents, brought them together, and quietly watched you being born. The mastermind behind all this was none other than Yamabuki Toto, the chief of staff of the Gotei 13 and my teacher." Aizen said gently, "If you really want to know the truth, you don't have to go directly to him."

Ichigo Kurosaki's face looked very ugly. After leaving the hell, he went straight to Yamabuki Detang and grabbed his collar.

"What's going on? Do you dare to tell me all the answers?" Kurosaki Ichigo shouted, "Who am I? What is the relationship between you and me?"

Seeing Kurosaki Ichigo so excited, Yamabuki Detang just smiled: "It seems that Aizen has told you everything. Well, if you want to know, I will tell you the truth about the world. Are you ready?"

Ichigo Kurosaki swallowed hard.

"It all started a million years ago." Yamabuki Ditang was ready to tell a long story.

Kurosaki Ichigo immediately interrupted him: "Don't talk nonsense like that. I'm not even twenty years old yet. Are you telling me about something that happened a million years ago? Are you trying to fool me?"

"Look at you! I'm going to be honest with you, but you're still not happy! If you don't want to, just leave now. No one will stop you." Yamabuki Ditang said.

Ichigo Kurosaki gritted his teeth, but in the end he had no choice but to sit down and listen to the story.

"A million years ago, the world was in chaos. There was no life or death, but Hollows constantly devoured souls. One day, a man stood up. He saw that if the Hollows were allowed to continue devouring souls, sooner or later the world would collapse. So he made a decision that went against his ancestors. He divided the world into three realms. From then on, the world was divided into three parts: Hueco Mundo, Soul Society, and the living world. And this man was later called... the Soul King."

Ichigo Kurosaki was gradually attracted by the story.

"Because of his immense power, many people followed him. Among them, five servants were the most loyal. They later became the Five Great Nobles of Soul Society. One of them was your ancestor, the Shiba family. However, one of the families was terrified of the Soul King's power, fearing that he would one day kill them all. So, they contacted the other nobles and had their souls divided."

"Fuck!" Ichigo Kurosaki's eyes were as big as copper bells.

The story was too exciting for him.

He was the Lord who created the three realms, how could he just disappear in such a confused manner?

"Then what?" asked Kurosaki Ichigo.

"They severed the Soul King's limbs, dug out his internal organs, and cast most of his power into the netherworld. Ultimately, this power coalesced into a single infant: Yhwach, the ancestor of the Quincies."

"It is precisely because of this that the Quincies and the Shinigami, though of the same origin, are mortal enemies. Until a thousand years ago, when Yhwach led a vast army to attack Soul Society, that battle was so raging that the sun and moon lost their light. In the end, Yhwach was defeated by a single electric cannon!"

Chapter 43: Bomby, who only wants to survive

Yamabuki Detang described the great battle that happened a thousand years ago in vivid detail, and Kurosaki Ichigo was stunned.

"Excuse me for interrupting you, Mr. Yamabuki, but may I ask... does this matter have anything to do with my life experience?" Ichigo Kurosaki asked curiously.

"Of course it is related. And it is very related. At that time, there was a beautiful female Quincy in the Stern Cross Knights, named Ishida Oborozuki..." Before Yamabuki Detang could finish his words, Kurosaki Ichigo could not help but interrupt him.

"Is this woman an ancestor of Ishida Uryu?"

"You're half right. After the war, this woman lived a normal life, got married, and had children. But she gave birth to twins. I left a hidden move in her, fusing my own power with one of her children. This means that half of the Quincies that come after her will have the blood of Yhwach flowing through them, and the other half will have my power flowing through them."

Ichigo Kurosaki was completely numb.

He seemed to have guessed the truth of the matter.

"The story that followed... The young man who inherited my power was going to get married and have children. One of his granddaughters married a young man named Kurosaki. Then, after thousands of years of reproduction, there was only one person left in this lineage. Her name was Kurosaki Masaki, your biological mother." said Yamabuki Ditang.

Ichigo Kurosaki felt his brain trembling.

What the hell is this? I just wanted to know why I inherited so much power, but now I have an extra ancestor out of nowhere?

"In other words... I am actually your descendant?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked in disbelief.

"That's fine if you really want to. But please don't cause other people's misunderstandings. You only inherited part of my power, not my bloodline." Yamabuki Ditang said.

In fact, this is already outrageous.

Ichigo Kurosaki stared at his hands blankly.

"I have special abilities. I was born with all the powers I could think of: Shinigami, Quincy, Hollow, Hell, Fullbring, and so on. I can also perfectly fuse these powers together, truly making them my own. Ichigo, the reason you possess so much power isn't because you're a freak, but because... you've perfectly inherited my abilities." Yamabuki Detang solemnly opened his arms and said, "Grandson, if you want to cry, come into Grandpa's arms."

"Get out of here!" Ichigo Kurosaki was really surprised by the result, but he was also relieved.

No matter what, I deserve the truth.

"Mr. Yamabuki, what are we?" Ichigo Kurosaki asked the most serious question.

"I am who I am. This is the answer." Yamabuki Detang gently tapped Ichigo Kurosaki's chest with his hand.

Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes lit up.

He seems to have found the answer.

"By the way, about the matter of my parents being together...are you also involved in it behind the scenes?" Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly glared at Yamabuki Detang.

"Ah... I forgot about this... After all, so many years have passed. You won't blame a man who is over a thousand years old, right?" Yamabuki Ditang immediately changed the subject.

"I knew it had something to do with you, old bastard!" Kurosaki Ichigo rushed forward and punched him.

It was almost entirely due to Yamabuki Detang that Kurosaki Masaki and Kurosaki Isshin were together.

Yamabuki Ditang quickly reached out to catch his fist: "Actually, this power can be helpful to you as well."

"Why do you say that?"

"As the ancestor of the Quincies, Yhwach has a very terrifying ability called Divination. It can devour the power of other Quincies. If your mother didn't have my power, she would have died when Yhwach activated Divination. Ishida Uryu's mother died that way, you should know that, right?" said Yamabuki Ditang.

Ichigo Kurosaki gasped.

"And you are also lucky. If you had only awakened the power of an ordinary Quincy, Yhwach would also be able to devour your power. But now, you inherited the power from me, and I am the only one who can devour your power." Yamabuki Ditang looked proud.

Ichigo Kurosaki looked at the man in front of him with a wary look.

I knew this man was unreliable.

But it was also because of Yamabuki Detang's words that Ichigo Kurosaki completely untied his knot.

"No matter what, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you... I might still be in the dark. Can you send me to the Soul King Palace? I already know who I am." Kurosaki Ichigo said solemnly.

"Okay, no problem. I wish you success." Shanbuki Ditang opened the wormhole and the two of them came directly to the Palace of the Spirit King.

Ichigo Kurosaki's target is the Phoenix Palace, while Yamabuki Detang hesitates slightly to meet the Soul King.

A thousand years passed, and the Spirit King was exactly the same as he was a thousand years ago, sitting there quietly, his body wrapped in a piece of yellow amber.

"Young man, we meet again."
