American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander.

At the head of the many seats, in response to Kyōraku Shunsui's question, Captain-General Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni neither answered nor sat down.

He just stood there silently, leaning on his crutches with both hands, and his eyes, which seemed cloudy but actually full of brilliance, seemed to be looking into the void.

Seeing that the captain-general didn't say anything, Kyoraku Shunsui frowned. It seemed... the situation this time was beyond his expectations.

Even the old man looked so nervous.

This was something Kyoraku Shunsui had never seen before.

Even Kyoraku Shunsui was unable to talk to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, so naturally no one else would say much. More than ten seconds of time passed in silence.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni finally took a breath, and then spoke to the gentle woman among the captains who exuded the aura of Yamato Nadeshiko.

"Unohana, a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

I didn’t expect that I could still see them.”

"Yes, Captain-General, it's a rare opportunity to meet old friends.

I don’t know if life in hell is suitable for them, and I don’t know if it is suitable for us.

When I think about it this way, it really makes me look forward to it~"

Unohana Retsu said this gently, then slowly stood up and waited with the captain.

Seeing this, the others also remained standing, waiting for the remaining captains to arrive.

As everyone waited silently, the courtyard gate was finally pushed open.

Facing everyone's gaze, the captain of the second division, Soi Fong, who walked in, was slightly stunned. Then she strode into the reception room, stood at her seat, bowed slightly to the captain-in-chief, and said.

"I'm sorry, Captain, I'm late."

"Ah."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni nodded slowly and continued to look forward.

Following his line of sight, a guy who didn't look like a human at all staggered through the gate and walked into the yard.

Upon seeing the scene in the reception room at the end of the yard, the captain of the 12th Division, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, was stunned for a moment, then he grinned an evil smile.

"Haha, so I'm the last one, I really kept you all waiting for a long time.

Meng, go over there, and let me take the scolding from the captain myself, you are not qualified to bear that."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kurotsuchi Mayuri gently waved his hand. The vice-captain of the 12th Division behind him immediately followed the footsteps of the vice-captain of the 2nd Division, Ohzen Tenkichiyo, and walked towards the side hall.

Kuroshio Mayuri came to his seat and stood there, nodding to everyone.

At the same time, after Kurotsuchi Mayuri stood firm, the captain-general Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni tapped his cane lightly and said.

“Now that everyone is here, I will make arrangements for the next steps!

Since everything happened in Karakura Town, we must move the battlefield away from Karakura Town.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi, you lead a group of vice-captains and members of the Technology Development Bureau to copy and migrate the real Karakura Town, and transfer the targets worthy of our attention to the gaps in the boundaries, or simply transfer them to Hueco Mundo or Soul Society!
As for the others, follow me to the real world and try your best to avoid or weaken the impact of this disaster on the real world before Kurotsuchi Mayuri succeeds.

Since the enemy is at least a huge number of Gillian Hollows, there is even the possibility that Yachukas and Vastrod will arrive.

What's more, even the first-generation captains of the Gotei 13 have become our enemies.

Soldiers and officers cannot participate in such a battle, so you all need to work together.

As for the many soldiers, after Kurotsuchi Mayuri successfully moved the battlefield from the real world, the many soldiers, under the leadership of the chief officer and vice-captain, worked to erase the memories of all mortals in the Karakura Town area as quickly as possible!

This is a huge test for our Gotei 13. After all, there has never been such a large-scale and concentrated vicious incident in the world before!
Things have come to this point, time waits for no one.

Gentlemen, set off! "

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's plan was very simple because time was running out.

Ten minutes ago, the news sent by the intelligence agents was already terrifying. Billions of souls, hundreds of thousands of Great Void Gillians, and the Gate of Hell...

Such a major event does not allow them to make any additional adjustments.

In this way, the eleven captains of the Gotei 13, led by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, rushed all the way to the human world.

Only Kurotsuchi Mayuri was left in Soul Society, busy completing the copy transfer and protection plan for Karakura Town.

then……

In Karakura Town.

Just as Yoruichi was holding Kuchiki Byakuya in one hand and shouting at Geta Hat to run away quickly.

A not particularly eye-catching portal suddenly appeared in the central area of ​​Karakura Town.

Coincidentally, the crowd had gathered in the cinema area, and cinemas are only opened in relatively prosperous areas.

So this door is really located half a street away, less than 300 meters from Downton.

Behind Donton, hearing what Yoruichi said, Urahara Kisuke thought carefully for a moment.

In his opinion, what Yoruichi said actually made some sense, because until now, although Donton was carrying countless souls, he himself had not done anything to harm Karakura Town.

He didn't even make a declaration. At least judging from his actions, he doesn't look like a super villain. He can only be described as an incredibly powerful villain suspect.

With Urahara Kisuke's intelligence, he immediately understood after being reminded by Yoruichi.

Anyway, since Downton hasn't declared that he wants to destroy the world or anything, just let Downton act freely for now.

What's more, Donton's strength was too outrageous. Even the first generation of Death God captains couldn't gain any advantage over Donton.

If he wanted to guard against Downton, he must at least investigate his origins and abilities.

So, I really should run away early!!!

Thinking of this, Urahara Kisuke tightened his grip on the crutch slightly, and was about to rush to the side.

But just before Urahara Kisuke rushed out...

The sudden appearance of the portal made him stop involuntarily, and his sight uncontrollably fell on the vicinity of the portal.

Unlike the Hueco Mundo passage in the sky that was still wide open, the door on the street was not particularly wide, and could only barely accommodate a dozen people walking out side by side.

but……

Although there were only a dozen people walking out of that portal, the aura they carried with them completely crushed the aura of the portal in Hueco Mundo!
In the eyes of Urahara Kisuke, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who was leaning on a cane, took the lead, walking with a pace that seemed old but more domineering, walking in the front and center of the crowd.

The first person on the left of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, Kyoraku Shunsui, had a lazy smile on his face and followed with big strides, hanging on a grass leaf.

On the left side of Kyoraku Shunsui, Unohana Retsu put his hands on his stomach and walked slowly like Yamato Nadeshiko.

Then... a sudden dwarf, Hitsugaya Toushirou, came hurrying forward with a frown on his brow.

While chasing, he couldn't help but turn his head to look to the left. After Komamura Sajin was wearing wooden clogs, his height of more than three meters high made him breathless.

So angry!

Hitsugaya Toushirou gritted his teeth.

Why don’t I grow taller?

On the left side of Komamura's left formation, Ichimaru Gin followed closely with his usual fake smile on his face.

These are the five people on the left side of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

As for his right hand,

There was no doubt that Ukitake Jushiro maintained a symmetrical position with Kyoraku Shunsui.

The next one was Aizen Sosuke, who had a sunny smile on his face. As he walked, he couldn't help but change the smile on his face into a look of surprise at what he saw in the real world.

Beside Aizen, Tou Sen Kaname frowned and said softly, "Such a chaotic spiritual pressure, but... very familiar, is that... Captain Hirako?"

"And there's Master Yoruichi! It's Master Yoruichi! It's Master Yoruichi!!!"

Tosen wanted to go to the right. Soi-fong was going crazy at this time. She changed her usual cold expression and looked at Yoruichi who was also stunned in disbelief.

"Ahahahaha, I actually encountered so many defecting captains!

They are indeed opponents worth fighting!!!"

After hearing what Soi-Fong said, Kenpachi Zaraki, who was standing at the edge of the right side of the team, excitedly took off his Zanpakuto, which was covered with broken teeth, from his shoulder and struck hard in the direction of Makoto Hirako and others.

And this is the Seireitei Ukiyo-e that seems like a dream in the eyes of Mako Hirako and others!
Looking at the captains who all have the same dressing style, but are competing with each other in the field of fashion.

Tang Du couldn't help but opened his mouth slightly.

"So damn handsome!"

"Yeah, so... so handsome!"

Ichigo Kurosaki's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Unlike people like Urahara Kisuke and Hirako Mako, who know their place because they have seen stronger powers.

Although Downton shocked a series of first-generation captains, there was no way he could make a guy like Ichigo Kurosaki who knew nothing figure out what was going on.

So, he could still brag about it along with Taunton without hesitation.

As Kurosaki Ichigo shouted, on the distant building...

Shiba Isshin let out a heavy breath and then scratched his hair hard.

"Except for the captain of the 12th Division, everyone else is out!

This is such a grand occasion!

But... well, if even they can't deal with Downton, I might have to help.

But if that happens, I will be scolded by the captain again, which is really troublesome!"

When Shiba Isshin said this, he looked deeply at the captain-general.

Facing Shiba Isshin's gaze, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni raised his head slightly, and in just a moment he followed Shiba Isshin's gaze to catch Shiba Isshin's position.

He is the number one Death God in Soul Society who has been fighting for thousands of years, and this number one does not mean he is lazy at all.

If he can't even feel the gazes of familiar teammates, then he doesn't deserve the title of the best in the world!

Seeing the old face of Shiba Isshin, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was slightly stunned, and then he couldn't help but snorted.

Then, his gaze shifted from Shiba Isshin and the Quincy who was even more annoying than Shiba Isshin, and fell on the large group of fashionable mountain cat beasts in front of Donton.

With just one glance, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni let out a heavy breath.

These are fucking… they’re all Soul Society defectors, are these bastards gathering here for a meeting?!
"Humph!"

Looking at the defected captains such as Hirako Mako, Rokuguruma Kensei, Urahara Kisuke, Shihoin Yoruichi, and Houqiao Rojuro, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni could no longer suppress his anger.

This group of defectors alone can make up most of the captain lineup of the Gotei 13!
And their defection caused Seireitei to lose so much elite power!
Facing the captain's slightly angry eyes, Mako Hirako's Adam's apple rolled violently.

Kisuke Urahara couldn't help but take a step back and hide himself behind Donton.

Seeing that Urahara Kisuke was actually hiding behind him, Donton curled his lips in annoyance and said.

"Dude, I don't like backdoors!"

"Uh, buddy, you just said we were friends, right?
So... ahem, anyway... hey...

Forget it, this knife will eventually fall on my head, so I'd better bear it myself.

Although none of this was my original intention, my departure must have disappointed the captain after all."

Urahara Kisuke said as he walked out from behind Downton with a sigh.

Meanwhile, far away.

After Shihouin Yoruichi glared fiercely, he immediately threw Kuchiki Byakuya in his hand towards the captain-general and his entourage.

"Old man!"

Ye Yi was seen casually giving the captain a thumbs up.

"You guys came just in time, otherwise we would have been overwhelmed!"

"Humph!"

In response to Shihouin Yoruichi's gag, the captain-general snorted lightly, and at the same time as he snorted, Ukitake Jushiro on his right leaped over and hugged the breathless Kuchiki Byakuya in his arms.

After Ukitake Jushiro landed, Kuchiki Byakuya took a deep breath and said to the captain-general.

“Captain General, the defecting captains such as Hirako Mako are not our enemies for now.

We have only one enemy, and that is... Donton, the host of countless souls!"

"Oh? Is that so?!!"

The captain glared and then looked at Donton's armor and stick.

While trying to determine where Downton came from, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni continued asking.

"What about the Gate of Hell?"

"Don't mention it, old man. The gates of hell have been closed for a long time. The first generation of seniors are useless~"

In response to the captain's question, Shifengyuan Yoruichi used the Kūchan technique and suddenly appeared in front of the captain, explaining in a low voice.

“A total of six first-generation captains came, but they were defeated by the big boss Donton before they could even last three moves!

Three moves! Those were three moves! Only three moves!!!"

A look of horror appeared on Shihouin Yoruichi's face, and his words made the captain-general ponder.

After a moment's silence, the captain continued to ask.

"My old friends... have you become corrupted by the local environment?

It can actually make people gradually lose the power they are proud of. It really deserves to be the hell in the legend that tortures every soul!

Yoruichi, we will talk about your defection later. Now let’s talk about the first generation captains who came to the human world.

I want to see which of my old friends have lost face here, humph!"

"Ah, it's the first captain of the seven squads 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 2 and 3!"

"what!"

Hearing this, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He frowned and asked Ye Yi again.

"You mean, Ni Gu Cai Zang also came to the reality, and he was defeated easily?!"

Speaking of this, the captain couldn't help but recall the distant past.

You know, even if they are all first-generation captains, there are still gaps in their strength.

For Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the failure of the first generation captains was actually nothing, because under his leadership, the overall talent of Soul Society was constantly improving. In his opinion, the strength of many first generation captains was not as good as that of his current subordinates.

But the rebellious talent is definitely not among them!
If Yuan Liuzhai is the best in the world, then in his eyes, Ni Gu is at least third to fifth in the world, and his strength is definitely at the top level!

But...even he was defeated?
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni finally felt the pressure from Downton! (End of this chapter)
