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

Once Haruko was certain that the Hollow in front of her had lost its offensive capabilities, she began chanting the incantation for an offensive Hado technique.

"The unreachable edge of the hand, thunder, spread your wings..."

"Sizzle, sizzle..."

As Haruko chanted, the spiritual power at her fingertips transformed into blue lightning, swirling around her fingertips.

"Hado No. 4 - White Lightning!"

Chapter 94 Am I the Captain?

"boom!"

Fujiwara Junichi, standing outside the lord's hall, listened to the battle inside and couldn't help but sigh, "The legendary witch is truly something else."

The mage who was stationed at Fujiwara Castle before was driven out as soon as he entered.

This seemingly frail priestess was able to fight the evil spirits inside with great skill.

Just by hearing the sound of chairs breaking outside, you could tell how intense the battle was.

but……

"boom!"

"Lightning? This legendary priestess can actually control lightning?"

When Fujiwara Junichi saw the lightning emanating from the castle lord's hall, his eyes widened and his mouth involuntarily opened.

No wonder this priestess is called the "legendary priestess".

No wonder we're not afraid at all of the evil spirits transforming into more powerful forms.

A few breaths later, Haruko walked out of the city lord's hall.

"Lord Fujiwara, the evil spirits here have been purified by me."

"However, the evil energy here hasn't completely dissipated yet. I'll stay here for three days to purify it. During this time, please don't come near this place, okay?"

"Yes, yes, Lady Shrine Maiden, there's absolutely no problem."

Having witnessed a glimpse of Haruko's extraordinary power, Fujiwara Junichi now reveres her as a deity and dares not disobey her in the slightest.

As for Haruko's claim that the evil spirits had been purified, not only would Fujiwara Junichi not doubt it, but neither would the guards who had been following him.

Not only did they witness the legendary priestess unleash lightning, but after Haruko killed the evil spirit, the chilling aura it brought to the lord's mansion hall with its gloomy spiritual pressure began to dissipate.

Everyone can clearly feel this.

After Lord Fujiwara and his guards left, Erin walked up to Haruko and asked, "What's wrong, Haruko? The evil spirit has been eliminated, so why are you staying here for three more days?"

Erin was also surprised by Haruko Kuchiki's decision.

However, in front of outsiders, Erin is merely Haruko's bodyguard and should not question the priestess's decision.

On the other hand, Erin didn't feel that he had to arrange all of Haruko's decisions.

After all, Haruko is a person, not a puppet. She has her own preferences and her own thoughts.

All Erin needs to do is support Haruko when she needs it.

"Eilin-kun, I think you've gone crazy from all the exorcisms you've been doing with me lately, haven't you?"

Haruko rolled her eyes at Erin: "This evil spirit is almost fully transformed. Its spiritual pressure will definitely attract some Hollows to come here to hunt for food."

"Therefore, we must stay here and guard the place until the spirit of this evil spirit has completely dissipated, in order to prevent any further crisis for the people here."

"Oh, indeed."

Erin suddenly realized.

Yes, souls with spiritual pressure attract Hollows from Hueco Mundo, who then prey on these souls in the mortal realm.

That evil spirit was originally a creature on the verge of falling into nothingness, possessing spiritual pressure. Although it has been purified by Haruko, the spiritual pressure remaining here has not completely dissipated.

At this moment, Erin and Haruko left. If a Hollow were to enter this place from Hueco Mundo and find no palatable food, the residents of Fujiwara Castle would probably become Hollow food.

Erin had been exorcising spirits with Haruko these days. After the spirits were purified, there was no spiritual pressure left, so they naturally did not attract any Hollows, which is why he hadn't noticed this.

“Then let’s stay here for a few days. Judging from the spiritual pressure left by this evil spirit, it will dissipate in two or three days at most.”

"Ah."

……

Night fell, and above Fujiwara Castle, white light shone in the sky. Then, a large amount of spiritual energy condensed into two wooden doors.

This is the portal that connects Soul Society and Hueco Mundo!

Moreover, it's not a defective Transcendental Gate created by Kisuke Urahara through analyzing the Hueco Mundo's black cavity, but a Transcendental Gate controlled by the Gotei 13, ensuring its safety and preventing any "repression" attacks.

"what?"

Sensing the spatial fluctuations, Erin glanced at Haruko, who was sitting cross-legged in the hall, and was about to walk out to see if any Hollows had opened the Black Hole and entered the real world from Hueco Mundo.

"Hmm? Is there a sign of weakness?"

Sensing Erin's movements, Haruko woke up from her training and got up to follow behind Erin.

Haruko was well aware of her own abilities.

If it's an evil spirit, then it's all a piece of cake for her.

But if it's a Void that has already fallen...

Haruko has yet to fight a real Hollow.

Although Haruko also wanted to find a monster to test her current strength, all of this had to be done under the premise of ensuring her safety.

Following Erin out of the city lord's hall, Haruko looked up and a flash of disappointment crossed her eyes.

The spatial fluctuations in the air were not caused by a Hollow opening a black cavity, but by a Shinigami opening a portal between the Soul Society and the human world!

"Hey, it's been a long time, Captain Erin."

A slightly languid voice came from the portal. After the two wooden doors opened to the sides, Kisuke Urahara appeared before Erin and Haruko.

"Huh? It's Urahara."

Seeing Kisuke Urahara, Erin was also puzzled: "Urahara, what are you doing in the human world? And you're even using the Gotei 13's Transcendental Gate."

"Also, I'm no longer the captain. From now on, just call me by my name."

Erin knew that Kisuke Urahara would frequently visit the human world.

After all, Seireitei is the headquarters of the Shinigami, and some of Kisuke Urahara's research must have violated certain prohibitions of Soul Society. If it were discovered in Soul Society, not only would he be punished, but Yoruichi Shihouin would also be implicated.

Therefore, traces of Kisuke Urahara can be found in many places in the world today.

However, after completing his research, Kisuke Urahara would use the power of his Zanpakuto to erase all traces.

Just like the house where Erin and Haruko lived in Sakura Village and that huge underground base, they were all Urahara Kisuke's former laboratory, only Erin took it over.

"Oh, it seems Captain Erin hasn't received the news yet."

"what news?"

"I asked curiously."

Since leaving Seireitei, he has lost contact with everything in Soul Society. He has no source for much of the news from Seireitei and has no idea what has happened there.

Seeing Erin's reaction, Kisuke Urahara's lips curled up slightly.

"A year ago, Kenpachi Azashiro, the captain of the 11th Division, surrendered to the Captain-Commander, stating that he wanted to transform all the residents of Rukongai in Soul Society into combat weapons and launch a full-scale attack on Hueco Mundo to purify all the Hollows in Hueco Mundo."

"However, because he sensed that the Spirit King's will did not agree with his actions, he surrendered himself to the Captain-Commander."

"After being tried by the Central 46th Chamber, Kenpachi Momoshiro was sentenced to be imprisoned in the lowest level of the underground prison—the Avici Hell."

"Oh?"

Erin raised an eyebrow.

Has Kenpachi Azajo already turned himself in at this point?

It feels like it happened a little earlier than I remember.

As for Kenpachi Azajo's punishment, he was imprisoned in the deepest level of Avici Hell, which might be the most terrifying punishment for others.

But for Kenpachi Azajo, who has already integrated the entire Soul Society, it makes no difference where he is in the Soul Society.

He can control everything around him to form a large villa whenever he wants, including the Avici Hell and the Eleventh Division.

Kenpachi Azajo has now entered the Abyss, but he still doesn't understand why Lord Soul King would disagree with him purifying all the Hollows in Hueco Mundo to lessen Lord Soul King's burden.

Therefore, he removed himself from the Seireitei and used the power of his Zanpakuto to observe the world's progress and see who could gain more favor from the Soul King than himself.

Indeed, in Kenpachi Azajo's opinion, the reason why Lord Rei-ou disagreed with his plan must be because he felt that someone else had done it better than him.

Based on Kenpachi Azajo's observations over two hundred years, this person has identified Aizen as the target.

After all, Kenpachi Azajo's Bankai ability is the absolute nemesis of Aizen Sousuke's Zanpakuto ability.

Aizen Sousuke manipulated all the Shinigami in the Seireitei through his abilities, all under the observation of Kenpachi Azajo.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that with Kenpachi Momoshiro in Seireitei, Aizen will never have a chance to rise to power.

It was precisely because Kenpachi Azajo surrendered and exiled himself to the Abyss that Aizen slowly began his plan to research the Hogyoku and hypnotize all the Shinigami in the Seireitei.

Kenpachi Azajo felt that Aizen's plan to make him the new "Soul King" to rule the world and relieve the Soul King of his burden was incredibly low.

It was precisely for this reason that Kenpachi Azajo restarted his plan after Aizen's failure.

Unfortunately, he ultimately failed.

However, he did follow the will of Kenpachi Kuruyashiki and fought with all his might against the current Kenpachi, which can be considered as living up to the name "Kenpachi".

"Now, the position of captain of the 11th Division is vacant. After the twelve captains of the Gotei 13, including Captain-Commander Yamamoto, six captains recommended, one abstained, and five captains agreed, congratulations, Captain Erin, you have become the new captain of the 11th Division."

"In other words, Lord Erin is now Captain Erin Kenpachi."

"what?"

Erin was the first to disbelieve Urahara Kisuke's words.

"Don't joke around, Urahara."
