Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 291 The Gotei 13 are all actors.

August 3rd, early morning.

Because of the invasion of the traveler, everyone in the Soul Court was busy all day. Logically, it should be a time of peace and quiet for them to rest.

But whether it's the team members patrolling through the night or the captains with heavy responsibilities, everyone is still in a state of tension.

Soul Society, First Division Meeting Room.

The air was filled with a burning dryness, caused by the spiritual pressure that Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai unintentionally released due to his emotions.

The heavy gate was wide open, and the flames of the eternal lamps on both sides trembled constantly under the influence of spiritual pressure.

Apart from Kenpachi Zaraki, the captain of the 11th Division who is still undergoing treatment and self-training, and Jushiro Ukitake, the captain of the 13th Division who is on sick leave.

All the captains of the Gotei 13 have arrived.

They stood on either side, each with a different expression, but all their eyes were fixed on the white-haired old man.

"Gentlemen."

Captain-Commander Yamamoto slightly opened his eyes, his gaze unfathomable: "The reason for holding this meeting overnight is that I received urgent reports from multiple sources."

"The severity of the situation far exceeds the invasion of foreign invaders themselves."

He slammed his cane down heavily on the ground with a dull thud.

"Although the valiant attack of the travelers has been contained thanks to the valiant efforts of the captains, most of the invaders have been captured and imprisoned."

"But the culprit boy with orange hair has been missing ever since he defeated Captain Zaraki, which is really worrying."

Captain-Commander Yamamoto's gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Soi Fon, the captain of the Second Division.

"Soi Fon!"

"Here." Soi Fon, whose name was called, quickly lowered her head and awaited the Captain-Commander's orders.

"That boy couldn't have disappeared from the Soul Society without a sound. Summon all members of the Secret Service and find him."

"yes!"

At this point, the Captain-Commander's gaze shifted slightly, landing once more on Gin Ichimaru, the Captain of the Third Division, who stood opposite Soi Fon.

"Ichimaru."

"Hi~ I'm here, Captain-Commander."

Gin Ichimaru had his hands tucked into his sleeves, and the fox-like face still wore an enigmatic smile.

"I hereby order you to lead the Third Division to assist Captain Soi Fon in a search within the Soul Society. You must find the culprit before the execution of the Double Killers begins!"

"Oh dear, this is quite a demanding mission." Gin Ichimaru squinted, turned to look at the serious-looking Soi Fon, and said with a grin, "Then please give us your guidance, Captain Soi Fon. Our Third Division is quite weak; we have to rely on the adults from the Onmitsukido for this kind of hard work."

Soi Fon gave him a cold glance, having no intention of engaging with this glib-tongued man.

She bowed respectfully to the Captain-Commander: "The Second Division will not fail in its mission."

Captain-Commander Yamamoto could see the discord between the two sides, but he ignored it and continued, "The second matter."

The captain's gaze shifted to Mayuri Kurotsuchi, who was standing at the back of the column.

"It is reported that during the chaos of the Ryoka invasion, the Technology Development Bureau was infiltrated by unidentified individuals. Nie, report the situation."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi stepped out of the line, his black-and-white painted face filled with rage.

"Hmph, a bunch of arrogant rats."

"Yesterday afternoon, my special laboratory was invaded by alien invaders, who destroyed the precious experimental subject I was debugging..."

At this point, Mayuri Kurotsuchi suddenly turned his eyes and stared intently at Aizen Sosuke standing opposite him.

"Speaking of which, Captain Aizen," Mayuri Kurotsuchi's tone turned sharp and strange, "it's such a pity, isn't it? That was the result of our years of hard work."

"The destruction of Sleep No. 8 is not only my loss, but also yours."

"Perhaps you could help me analyze this? What is their purpose?"

Aizen remained as gentle and refined as ever, as if the destruction Mayuri Kurotsuchi had nothing to do with him.

He simply pushed up his glasses slightly, his face full of regret: "That's such a pity, Captain Nie."

"I never imagined that the traveler's wrath could be so brutal, not even sparing places like that. Perhaps it's to create more chaos and attract our attention."

"However, Captain Kurenai, please rest assured." Aizen smiled slightly, "As long as the core theory remains, we will always have a chance to start over."

"Start over? Hehehe..." Mayuri Kurotsuchi let out a chilling chuckle.

He stared intently at Aizen's hypocritical face, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Keep pretending.

From the very beginning, when he designed the Sleep No. 8 experiment, besides wanting to optimize the experiment, he also wanted to observe Aizen's reaction.

The other party has been so diligent and hardworking over the years, and it seems that they really intend to work on the project with him, which really puzzles him.

However, from beginning to end, he intentionally left loopholes in Sleep No. 8's laboratory.

He just wanted to see what kind of grand plan Aizen, whom Urahara Kisuke feared, had, and what kind of backdoor he would leave for this test subject.

The situation was exactly as he had expected.

The thief was detected and captured by Mayuri Kurotsuchi the moment he entered the laboratory.

He has confirmed that the other party is Hina Ubuyashiki from the Fourth Division, who is acquainted with Aizen.

The series of riots that ensued were all under Nie's surveillance.

What he didn't understand was that Aizen had gone through all that trouble, and his final goal was...

Wang Yin?

That was a clue about the Soul King's secret treasure that Mayuri Kurotsuchi had painstakingly recovered from the abandoned library of the Tsunayashiro family.

However, despite being called a secret treasure, it was of little use to him.

The so-called King's Seal can be considered a kind of composite of fragments of the Spirit King.

One theory suggests that the King's Seal possesses the spatial manipulation power to transfer any event to other dimensions.

Another theory suggests that the royal seal possesses the power to pause, accelerate, or even reverse time.

In extreme cases, it can even interfere with the existence of spirits and reverse life and death.

It sounds amazing, but no one has ever verified it, and Mayuri Kurotsuchi isn't very interested either.

It's not that they aren't curious about this power, it's just that every hundred years, the nobles have to change the location of the royal seal.

Once the theft is discovered, the entire Spirit Court will be in a flurry of activity.

I finally escaped the maggot's nest and can now conduct the experiments I like without restraint. Why should I risk everything for something whose truth is unknown?

Unless I betray Soul Society, I can't do anything right with this hot potato.

So, Aizen, what exactly are you trying to do?

Did you go to such lengths just to find the legendary royal seal?

Mayuri Kurotsuchi was really concerned, so much so that she almost wanted to confront him in public.

"alright."

Captain-Commander Yamamoto broke the awkward atmosphere between the two.

He didn't care whether it was Hypnos No. 8 or Android No. 18; to him, it was just one of Mayuri Kurotsuchi's many crazy experiments.

"Since it's a vulnerability in the Technology Development Bureau's defenses and didn't cause any greater damage, Nie, you can fix it yourself."

"Now, let's talk about the third thing."

At this point, Captain-Commander Yamamoto's face darkened.

The already oppressive spiritual pressure in the arena was now like a volcano about to erupt, making it difficult for all the captains present to breathe.

"That's the main reason I've called you all here tonight."

"Just recently, in the deepest level of the Shin-o Underground Prison, the No-Infernal."

"A prison break has occurred."
