Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 222 Another Report

Without lingering in Hueco Mundo, or rather, without any point in staying any longer, Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi returned to the human world. Facing Tessai's questioning gaze, Kisuke Urahara simply shook his head and walked into the laboratory without a word.

Looking at the things created by Kaneki's 'mechanical arts', Kisuke Urahara sighed again: "Yoruichi-san, when we meet again, Kaneki will be our enemy."

"Ah," Yoruichi replied, "I was worried you wouldn't make up your mind, Kisuke."

Both of them understood that Guan Yi's meaning in Hueco Mundo had been clearly expressed earlier—I have a huge secret. I possess both Fullbring and the power of a Shinigami, and I also have many abilities that you cannot understand. I can even transform directly into a Vasto Lorde Hollow. Can you accept that?

If the two can accept this, express no curiosity or investigation, and gain Guan Yi's trust, they might be able to return to their previous way of getting along, at least still be able to call each other companions.

But... since Guan Yi left without saying goodbye, he must have already anticipated the answer. And the fact is just as he expected; even if they wanted to deceive Guan Yi, neither Urahara Kisuke nor Yoruichi could utter a single "yes"!
As the head of the Shihouin family, one of the four great noble families of Soul Society, Yoruichi Shihouin was well aware of just how shocking Kanekichi's previous performance had been.

Transforming from a human into a Vasto Lorde Hollow?

This is something that cannot be described with words like shocking or unprecedented. Even if someone tells them about it without seeing it with their own eyes, they would still say it's impossible.

How could such a thing possibly exist?!

Humans and Hollows, Shinigami and Vasto Lordes—these are two distinct opposing forces! Their spiritual structures are fundamentally different, and even after millions of years, no one dares claim to have deciphered or restored them. The power of the Hogyoku is 'insignificant' in comparison!
What does this mean?

The answer sent chills down their spines.

At this point, Guan Yi, who now possesses Fullbring, Shinigami power, and Hollow power, is even more dangerous than Aizen!

Both of them knew the history of the world and knew that countless years ago, the world had neither birth nor death, neither progress nor regression. But when the Void gradually began to devour humanity, the balance was broken.

If this continues, all the souls will eventually become an enormous void.

Therefore, the Soul King came into being, using the power of annihilation to destroy the Hollows and start the cycle of the world anew. Later, the Soul King was made into a wedge, creating the three realms, and the Shinigami took over the Soul King's mission, maintaining the balance of the three realms.

Because the Quincy's power of annihilation completely kills the soul, rather than purifying it like the Shinigami and allowing it to enter the cycle of reincarnation, in order to avoid an imbalance in the soul cycle, the Shinigami even launched an extermination campaign against the Quincy two hundred years ago, resulting in very few Quincy surviving today.

But now, a human who can freely transform between Shinigami and Hollows, possessing the will to actively transform into a Hollow, is certainly not like other Vasto Lorde Hollows who have evolved to their extremes and almost stopped eating, and will instead devour Hollows.

As long as he continues to grow stronger, he will be able to disrupt the balance of the soul's circulation, and even the balance of the soul will be entirely in his hands!
That would be a catastrophe for the Three Realms.

not only that.

The fact that he simultaneously possesses the powers of the Shinigami, Hollows, and Fullbring is extraordinary in itself. He only needs the power of the Quincy to master the entire power system of these three realms.

Based on the abilities that Kane has demonstrated, Kisuke Urahara believes that if Kane were to want to, it wouldn't be difficult for him to master the power of annihilation. What will happen then?
What is the purpose of this concern?
Does he want to become the new Spirit King?
Where did Guan Yi get the information, including Aizen's plot? And what about that strange human girl and cat in the Soul Society intelligence? Is there some organization behind them?
From the day he joined us, was he plotting for the power of death?
What was his past?
What will his future hold?

I can't see through it, I can't guess it.

But as a Shinigami (death god), Kisuke Urahara knew that such danger had to be eliminated!

After a brief discussion with Yoruichi, Kisuke Urahara activated the emergency communication device that Shunsui Kyoraku had left him, as they felt it might be necessary for them to return to Soul Society.

But to their surprise, Kyoraku Shunsui, who had said he would arrive as soon as they contacted him, remained silent for a long time. It wasn't until three days after they made contact that he walked into Urahara Store looking exhausted.

"Have you two also received the intelligence?"

"Ok?"

Kyoraku Shunsui's question left Urahara Kisuke and Yoruichi somewhat bewildered.

Kisuke Urahara tentatively asked, "Has Kurenai already detected the process of Kanai becoming a void?"

"...What? He turned into a Hollow?! No, what does 'turned into a Hollow' mean?"

The two looked at each other for a while before Kyoraku Shunsui pulled out a videotape and gestured for Urahara Kisuke to find an instrument to play it. This was the same kind of videotape that had been used to report Aizen, which made Urahara Kisuke's eyes twitch slightly, and he had a bad feeling.

Two minutes later, the video played back, and the human-shaped Guan Yi appeared face-to-face on the tape. The background was the desolate sands of Hueco Mundo.

In the video, Guan Yi smiles, his right hand raised in a strange way at his side, and says clearly, "Fellow Shinigami, I am Guan Yi. Two months ago, I secretly photographed the scene of Las Noches and subsequently reported Aizen, Gin Ichimaru, and Kaname Tōsen."

My previous report didn't seem to gain your trust, but I don't care. For the peace of the Three Realms and for all living beings, I have a duty to do certain things, even if it brings me trouble.

Today, this time, I am filing a formal complaint!
Yhwach, the progenitor of the Quincy, has been resurrected and regained most of his power five years ago. He is secretly plotting to rule the world.

The Empire of Light from a thousand years ago has not perished. The most dangerous place is the safest place. Over the years, the Quincy have used spiritual particles to construct an invisible empire in the shadows of Seireitei, monitoring its every move. Perhaps right now, while you are watching the videotape, a Quincy is secretly watching you!

I urge you all to act carefully, lest the Quincy have the resources to target me, the whistleblower.

"..."

"..."

Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi exchanged a silent glance.

Kyoraku Shunsui's exhausted appearance also tells them that Guan Yi's report is most likely true!

How did he know about this?

No, the source of intelligence is secondary at this point. What's more important is... that the Quincy have been hiding in the shadows of the Seireitei for a thousand years? This sounds absurd at first glance.

But with examples of Guan Yi turning into a void on the spot already happening before their eyes, Urahara Kisuke and Yoruichi felt that their ability to accept things had become much stronger.

"This news is currently known only to me, the captain, Nie, Ukitake, and a few others. In order to prevent the enemy from discovering it, the other captains have not been informed, and no other members of the team know about it."

Kyoraku Shunsui said, "Although it hasn't been thoroughly verified yet for the sake of secrecy, based on what Kaneki said about the investigation, it does seem that something is hidden in the shadows of Seireitei."

"You two," he said solemnly, "Ukitake and I have worked hard these past few days and finally persuaded the old man to allow you to return to Soul Society in a secret manner. Come back, you two."

After a moment of silence, Ye Yi said, "We should thank that kid who's always stirring up trouble in the Three Realms; the Captain actually relented."

[Hit Value +15785]

[Hit Value +59698]

Sitting in the virtual circle, Guan Yi's life points in the plan are constantly increasing.

Does he fear the world is not chaotic enough? That's definitely a bit of a factor. If things don't get chaotic, where will he get life points?
On the other hand, reporting the Wandenreich was part of Kan's plan even earlier than reporting Aizen—Yhwach's abilities were too overpowered. If they wanted to conquer the Mysterious Realm of the Dead, they should take advantage of the fact that Yhwach had not yet regained all his power and had not yet opened his eyes to deal with him!
Aizen and the Arrancar will both help.

As for me... I'll almost have enough life points from my seventh exploration of extraordinary skills, but before that, I need to figure out how to solve a problem.

"Although becoming a Hollow allows one to increase spiritual pressure by absorbing a large number of Hollows, the way Hollows and Shinigami use spiritual particles is completely different..."

In other words, the skills he originally acquired from Under One Person are no longer working smoothly when used.

It is easy to transform from human to virtual, but difficult to transform from virtual to human.

Time waits for no one.
