I joined the group chat as Aizen in the Ninja World

The villain in Soul Society: Just like what Mo Chou said, shouldn’t you pick the softest persimmon to squeeze?

The Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: ...

Curly-haired guy: Hahahaha, Xiaonan was speechless for a moment.

Skull Island Handsome Guy: I also want to learn sword.

Curly: Are you kidding me? You're King Kong, hey! King Kong fighting with swordsmanship? What would that look like?

Book Artist: Also, you need to find a usable sword.

Hatchet Girl: You probably won’t be able to find it by searching, it may require special forging.

Skull Island Handsome Guy: I must learn it. I think the sword suits my temperament.

Scarlet Snake Fairy:?

Wig:?

Book Artist: Lati, as King Kong, I think you should be more clear-headed. Also, could you please clarify the concept and meaning of temperament?

Skirt-lifting maniac: You guys are having such a lively chat!

Curly-haired boy: What else?

Book artist: Leizi-chan, didn’t you sleep with the harem?

Skirt-lifting demon: Just a big-headed ghost, got into a fight with someone on the way home! [Picture]

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Is this Kanzaki Kaori? How did you meet her?

Skirt-lifting maniac: I barged into the Magical Index plot between him and Kamijou Touma. Then this Kamijou Kaori called me a blasphemer and stabbed me. Then we started fighting.

The villain of Soul Society: Are you okay?

Skirt-Lifting Maniac: No, there wasn't a real fight. She knew she'd been tricked by the Puritan leaders, so they called a truce. Now she was trying to figure out how to safely remove the collar from Index.

This was a performance: first he opened the Five-Layer Barrier, then used the Double Binding Techniques 61 and 63 to trap her. Then he let Kamijou Touma take over and easily solved the problem.

Skirt-lifting maniac: Okay, thank you An Ran-san.

Book Artist: Compared to this, I am more curious about what the blasphemer is?

Skirt-Lifting Maniac: They say I belong to neither science nor magic, and that for the sake of world balance I shouldn't exist.

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: How did Kanzaki Kaori know your information? Could it be...

This is an actor: No need to ask, it must be Aleister. Trying to test my limits? How interesting. If that's the case, I'll definitely give him a big gift when I get the chance.

164 Invisible Empire

Curly: A big gift?

Book artist: What does the big gift look like? Can you give me a sneak peek?

This is an actor: for example, the artificial heaven plan was completely aborted, which should be a surprise to him.

Scarlet Snake Fairy: Indeed.

The illustrator of the book: I'm afraid he'll be so surprised that he'll have a heart attack.

The Artificial Heaven Project was Aleister's lifeblood. He had sacrificed his wife and daughter, and his lifelong pursuit depended on it to be fulfilled. If it were destroyed, he would likely be sent directly to heaven.

This is an actor: I think so too, but it will take some time for me to get over it.

Skirt-lifting maniac: An Ran-san, do you mean... to come over to my side?

This is an actor: Yes. But if Ruiko doesn't welcome me, then forget it.

Skirt-lifting maniac: How could it be!

The illustrator of the book: That’s right, how could Ruiko not welcome you? She’s so welcome that I even want to give you her harem!

Skirt-lifting maniac: I said it's not a harem, what's wrong with you, Ali-chan?!

Skull Island Handsome Guy: Everyone, look at my sword. [Picture]

Book artist:?

Scarlet Snake Fairy:?

Hatchet Girl: Is this a sword?

The corners of Gui Yanye's mouth twitched fiercely, and she was furious. This so-called "sword" must have been made by King Kong with ingenuity using unknown animal bones.

But this shape is not so much a sword as it is something unspeakable about a man. It is so eye-catching that it makes people say "burning".

Wig: I need to correct you, Latisan. This is a cannon, the new Armstrong slewing cannon.

Curly Hair: The degree of completion is really quite high.

Skull Island Handsome Guy: Well, it seems that Lati may not have a talent for blacksmithing.

The illustrator of the book: What the hell is forging talent? What kind of forging talent do you need as a King Kong? Why not just go to the Empire State Building in the United States and shoot a plane?

Skull Island Handsome Guy: Latti will not do that kind of thing. Latti wants to learn from Mr. Enron and be a gentle King Kong.

Curly Hair: Hey, are you telling a joke? You don't look gentle at all! Don't give up your style, asshole!

Skull Island Handsome Guy: It is this so-called style that makes you have a stereotype of creatures like King Kong, right? What Lati wants to do is to change it.

Curly: Holy shit, are you really Lati? Are you a human disguised as King Kong in a gorilla skin?

Sakata Gintoki was genuinely shocked. Could such philosophical words really have come from King Kong?

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Don't underestimate Lati. Although it looks like a gorilla, it's actually quite intelligent. Over this period of time, we've been able to witness its transformation and growth with our own eyes, haven't we?

Book Artist: Yes! And it’s growing very fast!

Skull Island Handsome Guy: Hehe, this is the result of learning from you all and Mr. An Ran.

This is an actor: it all depends on your own hard work. Unohana, what did Kurotsuchi Mayuri say?

Soul Society's Villain: Just as you predicted, he's become interested. He seems to be researching a device capable of invading Shadow Dimension.

Why do you say it seems?

Because in Unohana Retsu's sight, Kurotsuchi Mayuri was slowly cutting open his stomach, taking out his internal organs bit by bit and putting them into some special container.

Afterwards, he placed the container into a piece of experimental equipment that was flashing blue light, and observed the data displayed on the screen of the laboratory table with anticipation.

The whole process gives people a very strange sense of sacredness.

It was clearly a scientific experiment, but it felt like a cult sacrificial ritual.

This... should be a research device, right?

Unohana Retsu was a little unsure.

"Don't doubt it, Captain Unohana."

Seeing Unohana's confused gaze, Kurotsuchi Mayuri spoke in a hoarse voice, "I am indeed researching a method to invade the Shadow Dimension. However, in order to insert my body into the invisible shadows, I first need to test my internal organs' resistance to pressure."

Normally, Kurotsuchi Mayuri would not bother explaining things to others. However, Unohana Retsu was special, and he still had respect for this captain who had survived for a thousand years.

Of course, the premise is that his experiments cannot be disturbed. Otherwise, even if the Spirit King comes, it will be useless.

"Really? Then please continue." Unohana Retsu nodded and turned his gaze to the light curtain in front of him again.

Illustrator: Invading the Shadow Dimension? Is An Ran-sang planning to directly declare war on the Invisible Empire?

The Invisible Empire is the Quincy group commanded by Yhwach.

In that bloody battle a thousand years ago, they were directly defeated by the Gotei 13 led by the old man Yama.

With only one breath left, Yhwach led the remaining troops to hide in the poorly guarded Silent Garden. He later constructed the spirit sub-space in the shadow of the Silent Garden, hence the name "Invisible Empire".

In the Invisible Empire, the Stern Cross Knights are composed of the most powerful Quincies. Emperor Yhwach bestows upon each member a holy word and a power.

This is an actor: It's not me, it's the all-out war between the Gotei 13 and the Quincies. If I were to take care of those Quincies, there's no need to wait for Kurotsuchi Mayuri's research.

His spatial laws also work on shadows, and he can directly tear through shadows and enter the territory of the Invisible Empire.

Skirt-Lifting Maniac: That being said, isn't this situation also caused by An Ran-san? If you hadn't asked Sister Hua to warn Mayuri Kurotsuchi, I'm afraid the Shinigami wouldn't have discovered that there's an Invisible Empire in the shadows.

Scarlet Snake Fairy: That's true. In the original novel, the Death Gods only reacted slowly after the Invisible Empire officially declared war on them.

Hatchet Girl: An Ran-sang did this for a purpose, right?

This is an actor: Yeah, for example, I really want to see... if the Hogyoku absorbs Yhwach, the son of the Soul King, to what extent will Aizen evolve?

165 Kurotsuchi Mayuri's Bad Taste

Soul Society, near the White Gate on West Ryukon Street.

"Just to suppress the remaining rebellious forces...is it necessary to gather so many people?" Soi Feng looked around at the captains around her and asked with a confused look on her face.

When she received the summons from the Riting team in the morning, she didn't take it too seriously.

The so-called remaining rebels, no matter how strong they were, were probably no match for those few thugs who had escaped from Wu Jian, right? As a result, seeing the scene before her, she even wanted to exclaim, "Wow!"

In addition to her, the captain of the second division, there were also the captain of the fifth division, Sosuke Aizen, the captain of the seventh division, Sajin Komamura, the captain of the ninth division, Kaname Tōsen, the captain of the eleventh division, Kenpachi Zaraki, the vice-captain Yachiru Kusaka, and the strange-looking captain of the twelfth division, Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

Half of the captains of the Gotei 13 were present, along with Uchiha Madara at the end. How formidable must this remaining rebellious force be to warrant the simultaneous dispatch of so many captains?

"Since the captain has made such an arrangement, we just need to carry it out." The one who answered her was Komamura Sajin, who was wearing an iron mask on his head.

"In order for justice to be served, necessary preparations must be made," his good friend Dong Xianyao continued.

"Hey, are you the guy who killed Kamakura?" Unlike the other captains who were focused on the mission, Zaraki Kenpachi's eyes stayed on Uchiha Madara. "Come and fight me!"

Kamakura was one of the prisoners of Toryukou Kai, and decades ago, he had a brief battle with Kenpachi Zaraki. The two fought to a draw.

Since Uchiha Madara was able to kill Kamakura, it means that this guy is definitely the strong man that Kenpachi Zaraki is pursuing.

"Zaraki, don't forget our mission!" Soi Fong frowned and reminded.

For Soi-Fong, Uchiha Madara was her savior. Although the boy's words were a bit irritating, she still didn't want him to be entangled by the beast that was Kenpachi Zaraki.

Kenpachi Zaraki ignored her and stared at Uchiha Madara.

In his eyes, missions and the like were completely unimportant. What mattered most was fighting against the strong and experiencing the exhilaration of that fight.

"Let's talk about it when you can come back alive." Uchiha Madara slowly opened his closed eyes and answered indifferently.

He did intend to fight Kenpachi Zaraki, not for the thrill of the fight, but for Unohana Retsu. Of course, the premise is that Kenpachi Zaraki can return alive from the Invisible Empire.

"Ha, it's settled!" Zaraki Kenpachi didn't care about the other party's tone. As long as he agreed to fight, none of this would be a problem.

This young man seems to know the truth about this mission.

Aizen's brown eyes flickered with curiosity.

Of course, he didn't believe that so many people gathered here to fight against some rebellious forces. This was not in line with the captain's style.

He had always been a stickler for protocol, always submitting a petition to the Central 46th Office for advice, no matter how major the incident. But this time, he had gone so far as to bypass the Central 46th Office and directly dispatch seven captain-level Shinigami. It was definitely not just to suppress a mere rebellion.

So, what kind of existence made him feel threatened?

Aizen's thoughts didn't last long, as Kuroda Mayuri revealed the answer. "You might all be confused, but our mission this time isn't to suppress any rebellion."

"You're not suppressing rebellion?" Soi-Feng's eyes widened in surprise. "If that's the case, why summon us here?"

"So, a brain is a good thing. I hope everyone has one." Kurotsuchi Mayuri curled his lips in disdain at her and sarcastically said, "You're being so cautious, of course, to avoid enemy surveillance."

"You bastard..." Soi-Fong was clearly furious, gnashing her teeth. "What kind of enemy could possibly be monitoring the Shinigami in the Seireitei? Tell me!"

"Enemy hiding in the shadows." Kurotsuchi Mayuri didn't hide anything and spoke bluntly, "Our enemies are hiding in the shadows of the Seireitei. They've used spirit particles to construct a vast space within the shadows, no less massive than the Seireitei."

what?

The captains all showed expressions of astonishment and surprise.

Komamura Sajin asked in a deep voice, "Is this true? There are enemies hiding in our shadows?"

"Yes." Kurotsuchi Mayuri was pleased with the captains' performance, and the disbelief on their faces amused him. "It was Captain Unohana's reminder that led me to this problem. The number of Rei-son branches in the shadows is actually fourteenth greater than elsewhere."

One-fourteenth, based on the Soul Society's spirit particle density, this was clearly only a tiny difference. It was no wonder no one had noticed it for so long.

Unohana Retsu discovered it?

Aizen frowned and glanced at Uchiha Madara subconsciously.

Through Kurotsuchi Mayuri's analysis, combined with the information he found in the Great Spirit Book Corridor, he was basically certain...that the enemies hiding in the shadows of Soul Society were the Quincies from a thousand years ago.
