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

Chapter 185 The Wrath of the Spirit King

Thinking of this, Kyoraku Shunsui suddenly paused for a moment.

He suddenly remembered that many years ago, Erin had asked him whether he should teach Ise Nanao some swordsmanship.

At the time, Erin seemed to have said that having something but not using it is one thing, and not having it when you want to use it is another.

Could it be that Erin had already guessed that this would happen back then?

Or is it that even this current upheaval is related to Erin?

I can't figure it out...

Captain Erin, how many secrets do you still have that I haven't seen?

……

"really……"

Stepping out of the bounded field, Erin sensed that the entire world seemed to harbor a powerful malice towards him.

"Because Aizen was imprisoned by me, the future changed, deviating from the trajectory foreseen by the Soul King. Therefore, the Soul King's will is enraged?"

"Rumble..."

Dark clouds rolled in, and bolts of lightning streaked through them. It seemed as if the thick clouds were rapidly approaching the ground, threatening to utterly destroy everything within the Seireitei.

"call out……"

Without a sound, Erin returned to the Kuchiki family and handed a Zanpakuto with a green hilt to his clone.

After Erin's clone received the Zanpakuto, it immediately left and headed towards the Fifth Division.

Only after his clone left did Erin raise his head and look up at the sky.

"boom!"

A powerful spiritual pressure rose from Erin's body, transforming into a golden pillar of spiritual energy that shot straight into the sky.

This spiritual pressure broke through the Soul-Shielding Membrane of Seireitei, traveled upwards, shattered the seventy-two barriers above Seireitei, and directly reached the inner palace of the Spirit King's Palace.

"Rumble..."

Inside the Spirit King's palace, the guards of the four halls were all drawn to the spiritual pressure surging into the palace.

Then, the other four members of the Zero Division instantly arrived at the inner palace of the Soul King through the Omotesando of the Soul King Palace.

"This spiritual pressure..."

Of the group, the most surprised was Kiryu Hikifune, who had only been promoted to the Zero Division for a few decades.

Compared to her time in Soul Society, Kiryu Hikifune has become much fatter, transforming from a voluptuous and beautiful young woman into a kind and chubby middle-aged woman.

Although he hadn't had much contact with Erin, he had attended several captain meetings together, so Kiryu Hikifune could still recognize Erin's spiritual pressure.

Back in Seireitei, Kiryu knew that Erin's strength surpassed his own.

However, she never expected that even though she had been promoted to the Zero Division, completed the creation of the "King's Key," and broken through the limits of a Shinigami in terms of spiritual pressure, Erin's spiritual pressure at this moment was in no way inferior to hers.

"Oh my, although I knew that guy was not simple, I did not expect that he had already reached such a level in the lower realm."

Hyobu Ichibei also seemed somewhat surprised.

After all, more than a million years have passed since the birth of this world.

In the past million years, Hyosube Ichibei has only seen two people whose spiritual pressure has reached this level.

It's not about the intensity of spiritual pressure, but rather the "essence" of spiritual pressure.

The first one was the first Hollow in the world to devour souls.

When it had devoured almost a tenth of the souls of the entire world, the most ancient ethereal pressure broke through its limit and reached a realm that even Hyosube Ichibei could not sense.

It's as if that virtual thing has become some kind of concept.

The second one is the Spirit King.

The Spirit King was conceived by the will of this world. Upon its birth, it was already the "god" of this world, possessing "omnipotent power" and being the strongest being in this world.

The third one, naturally, is Hyosube Ichibei himself.

His essence is darkness. After the successful creation of the Three Realms, the sun and moon revolved, and where there is light, there is darkness. The concept of "darkness" allowed Hyosube Ichibei to reach a higher dimension.

Now, within this spiritual pressure, Hyosube Ichibei discovered this concept.

That's the concept of a "sword".

Looking at the "Sword God" Nimaiya Oetsu behind him, Hyosube Ichibei wondered whether he should tell him about this.

This is a realm that Nimaiya Oetsu pursued his entire life but never reached. Now that someone has actually attained it, he might collapse if he knew.

Erin is the fourth person to reach this level on his own.

Having reached such a state, time has lost its meaning for them.

Because as long as that concept exists in this world, their existence is that of an immortal and supreme being.

"What is Captain Erin planning to do?"

Yizhou Tongsheng said solemnly.

"Well, whatever Captain Erin is planning to do, let's just wait and see for now."

As the person who accompanied the Soul King the longest, Hyosube Ichibei was one of the people who understood the Soul King the most.

Just now, the will of the Spirit King, sealed in the crystal, showed a tendency to self-destruct.

Once Lord Spirit King dies, without him as the wedge stabilizing the Three Realms, the world will return to chaos.

This outcome is unacceptable to everyone.

Now, it has been almost certain that the person who caused the Soul King's will to fluctuate is Captain Erin from the Seireitei.

Now, Captain Erin's spiritual pressure has broken through the seventy-two barriers of the Seireitei and the Soul King's Palace to arrive here. He probably has some secret he wants to share with the Soul King.

Hyosube Ichibei crossed his arms and did not try to stop Erin's spiritual pressure from contacting the Soul King.

He also wanted to see if this little guy, who had broken through to the limit on his own after him, could stabilize the Spirit King's will.

Under the watchful eyes of the five members of the Zero Division, Erin's spiritual pressure surged directly into the Soul King's inner chamber, and then the will within him made contact with the Soul King, who was sealed within the yellow crystal.

This was the second time Erin had sensed the Spirit King's will.

However, compared to the first time the Spirit King's will was sensed, this time the Spirit King's will was clearly more violent.

Erin knew this too.

Now that Aizen is imprisoned within his own Reality Marble, everything he did afterward will naturally not happen. The complete Hogyoku will not be born, and Ichigo Kurosaki, who possesses the fusion of Quincy, Fullbringer, Hollow power, and Shinigami power, will naturally not be born.

Judging from the emotions displayed by the Spirit King at this moment, Erin also learned from the side that the Spirit King could not seem to see everything he had done in the "future" he could see.

Whether it was because of his special nature or because he had broken through the limits of the Grim Reaper, the Soul King could see less information about himself.

With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Erin ultimately connected his will with that of the Spirit King, and then transmitted everything he planned to do to the Spirit King through his will.

……

"Rumble..."

In the Seireitei, many Shinigami were completely baffled as to why Captain Erin would unleash his spiritual pressure under such circumstances.

However, they could sense that after Captain Erin unleashed his spiritual pressure, the dark clouds in the sky were gradually dissipating.

That terrifying sense of fear is slowly disappearing.

"Captain Erin, what exactly did you just do?"

After Erin dissipated his spiritual pressure, all the Shinigami felt that everything had returned to normal.

Unlike the ordinary team members, the captains were once again amazed by the strength that Erin had demonstrated.

They had never seen such immense spiritual pressure before, represented by that pillar of spiritual pressure that seemed to be tangible.

However, what shocked them even more was Captain Erin's control over spiritual pressure.

Once such a powerful spiritual pressure spreads, the entire Soul Society will likely be completely enveloped. Within this spiritual pressure range, Shinigami below the rank of lieutenant, those with insufficient strength, will probably suffocate to death.

However, under Captain Erin's extreme control, not a single bit of spiritual pressure dissipated.

If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have known that Captain Erin unleashed such powerful spiritual pressure.

What terrifying control this is!

Each of the captains in the Thirteen Divisions had their own thoughts on the matter at that moment.

Eighth Division Captain Kyoraku Shunsui loosened his grip on the short sword at his waist with his left hand and sighed deeply.

"Erin-kun, what exactly do you want to do?"

Since guessing that some events in Seireitei were related to Erin, Kyoraku Shunsui has re-evaluated his close friend who is much older than him.

But each time, he felt he couldn't see what Erin wanted.

In terms of strength, within the entire Seireitei, perhaps only Master could make Captain Erin feel threatened. Everyone else, including himself, was probably not taken seriously by Captain Erin.

If Captain Erin wanted to become the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, at least three or four captains would agree, five or six captains wouldn't matter, and the other captains, even if they disagreed, probably wouldn't openly oppose him.

But Erin never showed the slightest attachment to power.

Shaking his head, Kyoraku Shunsui finally put his hands in his long sleeves and returned to his office.

In the 13th Division, Jushiro Ukitake also had a solemn expression on his face.

"Captain Erin..."

As the right arm of the Soul King, Jushiro Ukitake sensed even more than Shunsui Kyoraku.

What on earth happened that made Lord Spirit King's will intend to self-destruct?

Yes, although it's only a tiny bit.

However, this is the Spirit King.

Even a wisp of will cannot be ignored.

At that time, Jushiro Ukitake planned to transform into the "One-Eyed God" immediately after Lord Rei-ou's self-destruction, and temporarily make himself a "wedge" to stabilize the three realms.
