How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

Ordinary high school student: Isn't the uncle still unable to leave? He's only one step away from becoming a demon god or something (scratching head).

General store owner: Just one last bit more, and we won't need to rely on this world anymore.

Newbie (just there to fill a spot): I see, I think I understand now. (Nods)

Fallen Saint Black Cat: But isn't Aizen over there about to flip the table? Is it really a bad idea to go over there now?

Grocery store owner: Well, I'll do a little disguise.

A black, fitted trench coat covered his entire body. His face, framed by messy, spiky hair, appeared slightly gaunt, with deep-set eyes. A thick mustache covering half of his lips added a touch of melancholic charm, suggesting a past filled with poignant memories.

This design is the disguise Aizen created.

To this, Miss Fox could only say:

As a native boss of the Bleach world, Aizen would choose the appearance he wanted to use for disguise.

This truly marks the end of the Shinigami era with Aizen, in every sense of the word.

"However, to build an invisible empire of the Quincy, a commander alone is not enough."

Aizen cleared his throat and simply adjusted his voice to suit his current appearance.

After the Quincy's power was revealed and he developed a broader understanding of it, Aizen did collect and review relevant records and power systems.

During the period of A Certain Magical Index, while taking advantage of the world's preferential treatment to continuously improve his own path, he also spent some time integrating the knowledge he had acquired. Now, the Quincy ability can be obtained with ease.

"First and foremost, the Sternritter."

Magic...spiritual pressure?

It resembles both, yet it is neither. It is a power of two different systems that have been almost perfectly blended into one, revealing that its master is undergoing some kind of sublimation. Under Aizen's manipulation, the spiritual pressure sweeping through the atmosphere forms two "people" kneeling on the ground.

These are all faces that Miss Fox knows.

"Two?" Miss Fox tilted her head.

Is two members enough for the Sternritter?

"Young Miss, there's no need to worry. We are enough."

The speaker was a handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes; his cool and aloof face exuded an undeniable certainty.

Holy letter B, Raingrain Hasward.

The other is the Holy Letter M, Gerald Valkyrie.

Okay, these two have really gone too far.

"Well, in practice, things are a bit different from what we expected."

Aizen, however, was slightly dissatisfied with the finished product, probably because there was something he couldn't recreate.

Such things were irrelevant to Miss Fox. She didn't even care whether the invisible empire that was about to be built actually had people, how many people there were, or whether they were strong or weak.

"So, when does Aizen's father... no, the Quincy king, Yhwach's father, plan to make his grand entrance?"

At this time, Seireitei was in the midst of the bustling invasion of the Traveler's Whirlpool.

The transmigrator who replaced Ichigo Kurosaki as the protagonist could not cause much damage due to the interference of the plot correction force, nor could he rescue Rukia in advance and skip the plot.

The current situation is not the right time for the Invisible Empire to make its appearance.

"Well, this isn't the right time to take the final step either."

Aizen nodded, only smiling.

He looked in the direction where Rukia was imprisoned, his squinted eyes revealing nothing of his thoughts.

"The Hogyoku can break down the boundaries between Shinigami and Hollows, but its actual power is not like that..."

After a pause, Aizen looked at the fox-girl.

Were the early settings regarding the Hogyoku fully revealed?

"Yes," Miss Fox nodded.

The Hogyoku is a prop that runs throughout the Aizen arc, and its setting is naturally explained in the Aizen arc as well.

To put it simply, it's a wish-granting machine, but the power of the person making the wish is required to fulfill it. In other words, the person making the wish must possess the potential to achieve that wish; otherwise, the Hogyoku cannot grant the wish.

In other words, it's a writing wish-granting machine, or a potential development tool.

"However, the original setting is one thing, while fan fiction and crossover novels are another."

There are plenty of authors who haven't read the original work but write fan fiction.

Or it could be due to a superficial understanding of the original setting, leading to misunderstandings and fan fiction that deviates significantly from the original work.

And this was especially true for early fan fiction.

"In most early Bleach fanfiction, the Hogyoku is a true tool that can evolve infinitely, with only some limitations."

In other words, the Hogyoku here is very likely a powerful item that allows one to evolve infinitely.

"I see." Aizen nodded with a smile.

But Miss Fox sensed that he seemed a little disappointed and not satisfied with the answer.

After thinking for a moment, Miss Fox quickly realized the reason.

Compared to the original Aizen who possesses the true power to infinitely evolve the Hogyoku, her version of Aizen would prefer to see an original Aizen with the potential to unlock the Hogyoku.

The purpose, as evidenced by the reference to the original work, is self-evident.

"Ugh! You bunch of masterminds behind the scenes! You're all so wicked, you even scheme against yourselves!"

Miss Fox fanned herself in disgust.

"Haha, there's no other way, this is the simplest and most direct shortcut."

Aizen was noticed, but he showed no emotion.

Because this goddaughter has always been indifferent.

And he didn't care about such things.

"The limitation of infinite evolution should mostly be the infinite evolution within the Shinigami power system."

"Yes, we usually use two words to describe it."

"Spirit King?"

"..."

"It seems I guessed it right."

Early on, some fans who were meticulous about the setting had already speculated on some of the Soul King's settings, and for a period of time, rumors circulated in the fan community that the main material of the Hogyoku was the Soul King's fingernail.

Therefore, naturally, the Hogyoku, which can truly evolve indefinitely, also has an additional limitation.

That means that one can evolve indefinitely before reaching the Spirit King level.

It was very abstract, but at the time, quite a few people took it seriously and considered it a consensus.

"The Spirit King, perhaps that is the problem."

Aizen, taking advantage of his knowledge as a native of the original work, gave the fox girl a hint.

The pillars of the world.

If there were a Spirit King setting in this world, we could probably find some clues about the current situation.

However, the problem is that to get to the Soul King's Palace, you need the Shiba family's rocket.

—If it's from the original work!

"Sigh! The retro world!"

Chapter 1506 Quincy's Blessing

Beneath the shadow of Seireitei lies a secret unknown to all—the newly built Shadow Seireitei.

A perfect 1:1 replica, a masterpiece crafted with dedication.

Whether it's a nobleman's exquisite collection or a corner of a wall that was accidentally knocked over, everything is restored to its most perfect state.

It's a must-visit spot for tourists.

Inside a secret cave, Miss Fox looked at the reflection of the scene on the lake with little interest.

Thanks to the "plot correction power," the situation on the real Seireitei side eventually returned to normal.

After being drained of his stamina by his colleagues, the transmigrated protagonist encounters Kenpachi Zaraki. After a fight, he is rescued by Yoruichi Shihouin and given special training, just like when he first met Byakuya Kuchiki.

However, compared to the Bankai training in the original work, this is actually a training to master the power of Bankai.

Yes, this time traveler couldn't control his Bankai.

"How embarrassing! You can't even control your own strength!"

Stirring the water's surface, Miss Fox grumbled idly.

Aizen doesn't think this is a good time to get involved, so he's currently in a period of inactivity.

It skipped the developmental period and entered a dormant period, and things entered a boring phase.

So Miss Fox decided to find some fun for herself, which led to the whole thing of watching the plot unfold in the Shadow Seireitei.

"So what if you're peeping, Mom?"

Sirin naturally followed whatever Miss Fox was doing.

—The main purpose is to prevent an extra loli from accidentally appearing.

"I think it's necessary to lay the groundwork for the appearance of the Invisible Empire."

"You're right, we should lay the groundwork."

Nodding, Miss Fox also agreed that this was very necessary.

Without any buildup, a sudden, unexpected surge of power would be incredibly unrefined.

No matter what, there has to be some kind of phenomenon, or at least some kind of pawn to show off, so that the powerful behind the scenes can have the prestige of a powerful figure.

And now, an opportunity has just arisen.

"This place could be turned into something like a secret entrance..."

Moreover, this transmigrator protagonist, whether he inherited Ichigo Kurosaki's Zangetsu or it's due to some kind of memory issue, has a Bankai that is just as unique as Ichigo Kurosaki's.

Ichigo Kurosaki's Bankai is a Quincy power that mimics the power of a Shinigami, while this transmigrator's Bankai is also a Shinigami power that mimics the power of a Quincy.

This is perfect material to write about.

"We're just waiting for him to test the knife..."

It's too late, but it's soon.

Before Miss Fox could finish speaking, the transmigrator, who had been sitting still in Bankai form, suddenly opened his eyes and slashed at the lake with his sword.

With lightning speed, he immediately connected the two lakes, causing the slash to pause briefly before suddenly plunging into the Shadow Seireitei side, where the image of the cave walls being destroyed by the slash was reflected on the lake surface.

The effect looks wonderful.

Both Yoruichi and the time traveler outside the lake were stunned, their faces full of confusion.

Hehehe, that's right, that's exactly the kind of expression I want to see on your faces~

Miss Fox was very satisfied and was already looking forward to the two of them discovering something along the way.

Xilin hesitated, as she felt that the six-month-old mother was unlikely to be satisfied.

And that is indeed the case—

"Yoruichi, is this the true power of my Bankai? Can it attack another dimension? Or something like the Mirror World?"

"...perhaps?"

After discussing it for a long time, the two agreed that it was the Bankai ability of a transmigrator, and they did not doubt at all that the lake was special or that something was hidden beneath the Seireitei.

He even tried it a few times and immediately concluded that this was an extra ability of his Bankai to attack the Mirror World through mediums such as lakes.

They don't even understand how to use big data in experiments!

"Damn it! If those two were conducting research, they'd definitely be in big trouble!"
