I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

Slowly opening her eyes, Erin remained motionless in her current position.

The spiritual pressure surged once again, making Erin feel that everything except himself was incredibly fragile.

Even the slightest movement made Erin feel as if he could destroy the entire Seireitei.

Now, Erin truly understands what Aizen once said—

"It's very difficult to control the force required to leap over an ant without killing it."

Erin felt that if he wanted to kill an ant now, he would probably destroy the entire mountain where that ant lived.

Fortunately, Erin has never slacked off in his training.

After some time, Erin had completely taken control of his surging spiritual pressure and locked it completely within his body.

After all, the spiritual pressure that surpasses the limits of a Shinigami is simply too powerful.

If Erin were to release his spiritual pressure at this moment, the entire Three Realms would probably tremble under his pressure.

However, spiritual pressure is easy to control, but a body that has been greatly enhanced by powerful spiritual pressure is not so easy to manage.

Erin estimated that even without using swordsmanship, the shockwave generated by casually swinging his sword could shatter a mountain.

……

"Huh? Is old man Yamamoto looking for me?"

The next day, Erin had only been out in the yard for a short while when he noticed a hell butterfly flying toward him.

He reached out, and after the Hellbutterfly landed on his index finger, Erin read the information within it.

"I just broke through yesterday, and old man Yamamoto is looking for me today. Does he know that I have broken through the limit of the Shinigami?"

Erin was somewhat puzzled.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was also a powerful figure who broke through the limits of Shinigami spiritual pressure.

Otherwise, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni wouldn't be known as the "Strongest Grim Reaper in a Thousand Years".

However, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's breakthrough came after his Zanpakuto's Bankai was activated, and he forcefully advanced to the next level by relying on the surge in spiritual pressure.

In Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's normal state, the intensity of his spiritual pressure is still trapped within the limits of a Shinigami (death god).

His breakthrough occurred within the established solution, a space entirely different from Soul Society. Erin didn't believe that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni could discover his breakthrough without him actively exposing his spiritual pressure.

Unless, of course, Yamamoto uses his Bankai.

"Forget it, why would he want to talk to me? I might as well just go and ask him directly."

After shaking his head, Erin didn't waste any time. In a flash, he headed straight for the First Division.

"Hey, vice-captain of the Sparrow Division, it's you waiting for me here again this time."

The moment Erin appeared behind Chojiro Sasaki and started to chat with him, Chojiro was jolted, his immense spiritual pressure almost bursting out, but Erin immediately pushed it back down.

"This, how is this possible?"

"When did Captain Erin arrive? How come I didn't even notice?"

"And what about my spiritual pressure? It was suppressed so easily?"

"Captain Erin, you're amazing!"

The shock in Chojiro's heart was written all over his face.

In his view, perhaps only the teacher could surpass Captain Erin in the entire Seireitei.

As for the fact that Captain Erin had surpassed Captain-Commander Yamamoto, Chojiro Suzaku had no such thought in his mind at all.

"Captain Erin, the Commander-in-Chief has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me."

Although he was surprised, Chojiro Suzuki was not a person who liked to fight. What he cared about was whether he could share the burden of Captain-Commander Yamamoto and whether he had fulfilled his responsibilities.

Therefore, even knowing that Captain Erin's strength far surpassed his own, Chojiro Suzuki felt no jealousy whatsoever. On the contrary, he was happy that Captain Erin could better assist Captain-Commander Yamamoto.

"Commander-in-Chief, Captain Erin has arrived."

"Yes, Chojiro, you may leave now. I have something to discuss with Captain Erin."

"Yes, Lord Captain."

Watching Chojiro leave, Erin felt more and more that the old man Yamamoto might really have something important to say in his call for him.

After all, for Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the person he trusted most in the entire Seireitei was none other than Sasaki Ayumu Chojiro.

Even with his two disciples, Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro, he did not trust Chojiro as much.

Chojiro Suzaku was a follower of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni for over a thousand years.

Although nominally a follower, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni regarded him as his disciple and valued him highly.

After forming the Gotei 13, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni once hoped that Chojiro Suzume would serve as the captain of the squad and showcase his talent.

Unfortunately, all of them were rejected by Chojiro Suzaku.

He only wanted to serve under Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and become the captain; it was not his wish.

Even when holding captain meetings, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni never asked Chojiro Suzabu to leave.

However, this was the first time Erin had seen Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and Suzaku Ayumi Chojiro avoid suspicion by summoning him here privately today.

After Chojiro Suzuki left, Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto turned to Erin, his deep voice carrying the majesty of the strongest Shinigami in a thousand years, and asked Erin, "Captain Erin, have you created anything recently?"

"Ok?"

Erin was puzzled by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's question.

"Captain-Commander Yamamoto, I've been staying at the Kuchiki residence these past few days to train. Apart from making a few Zanpakuto, I haven't done anything else."

"Could there be something wrong with the Zanpakuto I made?"

"Do not……"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni glanced at Erin, and after confirming that Erin was not lying, he stopped hiding it.

"This morning, I received a message from Squad Zero."

"They want to invite you to join Squad Zero, and asked me to ask for your opinion."

"If you are willing to join the Zero Division, they will send other members to welcome you and take you to the Spirit King Palace to become a member of the Zero Division who guards the Spirit King."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni asked Erin this question because he knew just how difficult it was to become a member of the Zero Division.

There are only two ways to become a member of Squad Zero.

Chapter 132 Wang Cai's Debut

More than a million years ago, the five noble ancestors betrayed the Spirit King, using the Spirit King's power to divide life and death and create the Three Realms.

However, the five noble ancestors were not spirit kings after all. Although they divided the three realms, these three realms were unstable and could collapse at any time.

At the critical moment, under the influence of the Spirit King's will, Hyosube Ichibei turned the Spirit King into a "wedge" to stabilize the Three Realms.

In order to protect the King of Spirit, Hyosube Ichibei established the "King of Spirit Palace".

There are two ways to join the Soul King's Palace and become a member of the Zero Division. The first way is to create something that does not exist in Soul Society and be recognized by the Soul King's will as someone who "created the history of Soul Society." In this case, you will be invited to have your bones replaced with "King Keys" formed from the Soul King's power, thus becoming a member of the Zero Division and gaining even greater power than before.

It can be said that all members of Squad Zero possess the "Soul King's Bone".

Currently, Squad Zero has four official members and one reserve member.

Hyosube Ichibei named everything in Soul Society.

Shutara Senjumaru created the Shinha form.

Nimaiya Oetsu created Zanpakuto, and the prototypes for all Zanpakuto were forged by him.

Kirinji Tenjiro created "Kaido," which can transform his spiritual pressure into a hot spring to heal injuries. His blood-red spiritual pressure can even instantly revive those on the verge of death.

The last candidate is Kiryu Hikifune, the current captain of the 12th Division. He created a "temporary soul" and used cooking to completely integrate the spiritual pressure of the "temporary soul" with himself, thereby increasing his spiritual pressure.

The reason why Hikifune Kiryu is a "candidate" is because his research has not yet been fully completed.

Once Kiryu Hikifune completes the dish that perfectly blends the spiritual pressure within the "temporary soul," he will immediately be promoted to the Zero Division, becoming the true fifth member.

The second scenario is that when a Shinigami's strength reaches a certain level, they will receive an invitation from the Zero Division, and if they agree, they can become a member of the Zero Division.

Currently, only two people have received this treatment.

The first is Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, whose spiritual pressure has reached the limit of a Shinigami. After Bankai, he can break through the limit of a Shinigami and reach an even stronger realm.

The second is the seventh Kenpachi, Kuruyashiki Kenpachi.

His Zanpakuto's Bankai ability is so powerful that the Central 46 Chambers forbid it from being released in or near the Seireitei.

However, both Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and Kuruyashiki Kenpachi refused to become members of the Zero Division.

Now, Erin has become the third captain to receive an invitation from the Zero Division based on his "strength".

"Team Zero?"

Before achieving a breakthrough, Erin might have considered joining the Zero Division in order to copy the Zanpakuto of the others in the Zero Division.

However, now that Erin has awakened the essence of the "sword," there is no need for her to be hindered by the Spirit King Palace for something that was originally hers.

"Fine, Captain-Commander Yamamoto, I have no interest in becoming a member of the Zero Division, so please decline for me."

After learning the reason why Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had summoned him, Erin shook his head and directly refused the Zero Division's invitation.

"Are you sure, Captain Erin?"

"You should know that once you become a member of the Zero Division, your strength will be greatly enhanced, and surpassing me will be a piece of cake."

"I am strong enough now."

Erin smiled, without mentioning that his current strength was greater than that of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni: "For me, strength is something that's enough."

"And now, I feel that my strength is sufficient."

Yes, the truth is that Zanpakuto are constantly being created within his Reality Marble to enhance his spiritual pressure.

Erin didn't think much of the slight boost brought by the "Spirit King's Bone".

What Erin needs to do now is to master the experience gained from these newly introduced weapons in Unlimited Blade Works, so as to transform his strength once again.

Besides, the "swords" collected by the Reality Marble Unlimited Blade Works are only from the Bleach world; the "swords" from other worlds still need to be made by Erin himself.
