Maples didn't try to hide himself.
If he was in a dangerous world, he might have done so. But the Shinigami world wasn't that dangerous for him. Aside from the Soul King, even if Aizen, Yamamoto, Yhwach, and Yamamoto worked together, they wouldn't be able to win against him.
Their combined power might be close to Maples, but their combined power was completely different. Maples now controlled seven types of Time Elemental Powers. Especially after obtaining the Time Stripping ability, he could even resist Time Stop.
In this case, his behavior was more casual.
With Aizen's wisdom and insight, he would be able to see that he was different if he didn't try to hide.
From beginning to end, Maples didn't treat Aizen as an enemy because he was far above him. Just like how an adult wouldn't treat a baby who just learned how to walk as an enemy.
If Aizen did well enough and successfully climbed the stairs to the Throne of Heaven, he would see Maples at the end of the stairs.
He would be standing on the Throne!
"I'll be waiting for you there."
"Aizen."
A faint smile appeared on Feng Ye's face. Without any other expression, he strode forward.
Those Demon Kings who sat on their lonely thrones were bored. Only when they saw brave warriors who came to challenge them with hope and courage, and when they saw that after their efforts, they would still see despair in the end. Only then would they be able to experience joy. However, most Demon Kings would fail miserably in the end.
But unfortunately, this wouldn't happen to him.
Because.
He was Heaven's Mandate.
…
After two or three days.
The Cherry Blossom Festival that was held once every three years began.
The souls of Soul Society had a long lifespan, especially in Soul Society. They didn't have to worry about survival at all, so they had plenty of entertainment.
The Cherry Blossom Festival was held once every three years to celebrate the peace and tranquility of Soul Society. Usually, people from the upper class to the lower class would participate. It was one of the biggest festivals.
But.
The Thirteen Imperial Guards wouldn't take a break during this period.
Because the cherry blossom festival was very grand, it was very important to maintain order. It was also a time when all kinds of things could happen, so the Thirteen Imperial Guard Squads had a half-day break.
Every member of the Thirteen Imperial Guard Squadrons could only take one vacation out of the three Cherry Blossom Festivals. They had to work overtime for the other two, and there was no overtime pay.
Among them.
The Third, Fifth, Seventh, and Thirteenth Divisions were responsible for patrolling the perimeter in the four directions of the East, South, West, and North respectively.
Then, with the central area as the core, the first, second, sixth, and tenth divisions, which were under the command of the Four Noble Clans and the Four Noble Clans, would patrol from the inside to the outside in a four-ring formation.
The patrol area of the Fifth Division and the Second Division just happened to overlap.
In the Soul Society's Second Ring District, there was an observation tower that was over a hundred meters tall. This place looked like an extremely tall pavilion, and there were a few people sitting opposite each other in the pavilion.
One of them was the Fifth Division's Deputy Captain Aizen Sosuke. The other two were the Third Division's Deputy Captain Shooting Field Sentei and the Seventh Division's Deputy Captain Kotani Saemon.
"The Shooting Field Deputy Captain and Kotani Saemon are also here."
Maples had his Zanpakuto hanging on his waist. He walked up the stairs and looked at the people sitting in the observation tower with a gentle smile.
"Oh, Deputy Captain Hatake is also here."
Both of them looked at Maples in a friendly manner and greeted him with a smile.
The relationship between the Deputy Captains and the Captains of the Thirteen Imperial Guard Squadrons was quite good. Although Maples was a Deputy Captain later, he had the Bankai, so the other Deputy Captains didn't dare to underestimate him. In addition, Maples had a good reputation. Even the Captains were friendly to Maples, let alone the Deputy Captains.
"Well, I just finished my patrol here."
Maples responded gently and walked to the side and sat down.
From this high platform, they could overlook a large area. They could see the bustling streets and several nearby blocks.
"How are you adapting to the life of a Shinigami?"
Aizen poured a glass of wine for Maples and raised his glass. He looked at Maples and greeted him gently.
Maples raised his glass and said casually: "Thank you for your concern, Deputy Captain Aizen. It's good."
Qian Tie smiled and said: "With the Bankai and Captain's Reiatsu, the Deputy Captain's task should be quite easy for you."
"Yes, when the Captain's position is empty, Deputy Captain Hatake will be promoted to Captain directly."
Aizen smiled in a friendly manner.
After drinking a glass of wine, he looked at the street below the high platform and saw many performances on the street.
"It's good to enjoy these performances occasionally. By the way, Deputy Captain Hatake and the Shooting Field Deputy Captain haven't seen my Zanpakuto Liberation yet, right?"
Aizen paused here and smiled as he picked up his Zanpakuto. This action didn't arouse the vigilance of the other two Deputy Captains, because they felt only friendliness from Aizen.
Maples sipped his wine casually.
You're a Berserker.
Aizen.
Although Maples saw Aizen's intention, he didn't point it out. He just calmly watched Aizen's performance.
"… My Zanpakuto has the ability to flow water. Through the refraction of water, it can disturb other people's vision to achieve the effect of killing each other. It's very beautiful when it's released. It's a very beautiful scene. It's a good opportunity to show it to everyone during the celebration."
"Well, I haven't seen Deputy Captain Aizen's release."
Qian Tie touched his chin and looked at Aizen with curiosity and interest.
No one would be completely uninterested in other people's Zanpakuto Liberation. Even the Captains would be interested in other people's Bankai, because each Bankai represented the final evolution of the Zanpakuto.
"I've seen it before. I fought with Deputy Captain Aizen before. It's really beautiful when it's released."
Okutani Sachiemon smiled amiably.
Aizen smiled and said: "Then I'll show you my incompetence … Shatter, Kyoka Suigetsu."
As he spoke softly, a white mist suddenly appeared on the Zanpakuto that was pulled out. It looked like hundreds of millions of raindrops, suspended in the air, reflecting the sunlight and refracting the colorful scenery like a rainbow.
Feng Ye calmly looked at this scene and put down the wine cup in his hand. He clapped his hands and said, "It is indeed a beautiful liberation. Unfortunately, you can't use Bankai in Soul Society. Otherwise, I would also like to show you my Bankai."
"There will be a chance to see Deputy Captain Hatake's Bankai … By the way, Bankai is really far away from me. Every time I think of Deputy Captain Hatake's talent, I sigh."
Okutani Tatsuemon sighed.
Maples smiled and said: "Talent doesn't mean anything. As long as you achieve what you want in life, life is perfect."
"Well said."
Aizen stood in the middle of the water droplets, his eyes gleaming. He smiled and said, "As long as I get what I want, I won't have any regrets. That's what I think."
Maples stood up and looked at Aizen. "I hope you get what you want Vice-captain Aizen."
"Vice-captain Hatake as well."
The two looked at each other. Aizen saw that Maples seemed to have seen through his gaze. But he knew that Maples only saw the surface. Maples was on the second floor, while he was on the third.
The real Maples was on the fourth floor.
"Well, let's not talk about that. It's a rare opportunity, let's have another drink."
Sakaemon looked at the exchange between Aizen and Maple and smiled. He said hello to the two.
But.
Just as Feng Ye picked up his wine cup, a spiritual pressure suddenly erupted from the east and soared into the sky.
It didn't belong to any of the captains, but it seemed to have reached the level of a captain.
"Something happened."
Maple's hand hovered in the air. He glanced at Aizen, then disappeared from where he stood.
"Isn't that the first team?"
"Let's go!"
Saemon, Aizen, and the others looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. They put down the cups in their hands and rushed towards the source of the Reiatsu.
Aizen was a little slower than the rest. He walked behind Sentei and Sentei. He raised his hand and gently adjusted his glasses.
"That guy is starting."
…
A group of people.
In a certain area near the northwest, a red-haired man was holding a Zanpakuto in his hand. There were many scars on his body, but he was laughing.
There were more than a dozen First Division Grim Reapers near him, but all of them were completely suppressed to the ground by the huge spiritual pressure released by him, unable to struggle to get up.
The red-haired man's name was Kamita Hasegawa. He used to be a member of a lower noble family.
He held the Zanpakuto in his left hand, and a dark vortex-shaped sphere about the size of a fist in his right hand. He could sense that the huge Spiritual Pressure comparable to the captain level didn't come from him, but from the black sphere in his hand!
And.
The black sphere was still continuously absorbing the surrounding spiritual droplets, and its spiritual pressure was still slowly increasing. Furthermore, the increasing spiritual pressure gave off an extremely unstable feeling.
"Finally, I've found it."
"Because I created it, I didn't do anything, but the central room 46 deemed it a danger to be eliminated. It destroyed the entire Hasegawa family …"
"You should pay for this! And the central room 46!! "
Speaking of this, Kamita Hasegawa suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the central room 46. Then he jumped up and rushed in the direction of the central room 46.
He rushed all the way, and the members of the first team who tried to stop him couldn't stop him.
Whoosh!!
When he was about to approach the central room 46, a figure appeared in front of him and finally stopped him for the first time.
The vice-captain of the first team – Jiro Tori!
"I was careless."
Jiro Tori stopped Kamita Hasegawa's advance, and his expression was slightly gloomy.
As the main force of the Gotei 13, the first team guards many important things. In addition to the central room 46, there are other important areas, such as the 'forbidden area' in the northwest.
There are all kinds of dangerous goods created by special circumstances, including forbidden weapons, dangerous tools used by Quincy thousands of years ago, special substances that can constantly destroy the nearby space, and so on.
The one in Kamita Hasegawa's hand is one of these dangerous goods, called Soul Gathering Nucleus. It is a product made by the fusion of many souls, and it can continuously devour the nearby Reiki!
This thing is extremely dangerous, because devouring a large number of Reiki will only result in two results. One is an explosion, and the violent Reiki will destroy everything nearby, and the other is a qualitative change, just like how Voids devour each other to become Greater Voids.
Therefore, after its birth, it was defined as the highest dangerous goods by the central room 46. It was sealed and collected in the forbidden area, guarded by the first team.
The forbidden area is the most heavily guarded.
But today, for some reason, many patrolmen were negligent at the same time, allowing Kamita Hasegawa to invade.
"Jiro Tori …"
"The vice-captain of the first team."
Kamita Hasegawa looked at Jiro Tori without the slightest fear. He directly rushed toward Jiro Tori and collided with him several times.
Under the close collision, Jiro Tori's Reiki was absorbed by the Soul Gathering Nucleus in Kamita Hasegawa's hand. His face quickly became pale, and his Reiki quickly weakened.
"This is a weapon made with the blood of our clan. With it, you can't stop me!"
Kamita Hasegawa sensed that Jiro Tori's Reiki was rapidly weakening. After a cold snort, he waved the Zanpakuto in his hand. When the two swords collided again, the gap in Reiki directly shook Jiro Tori.
Boom!!
Jiro Tori flew dozens of meters, and his back hit a wall before he stopped.
He shook a bit, and his face became very pale, but he still held the Zanpakuto and was ready to continue to rush forward.
But at this time.
Yamamoto Genryu's voice came from the side.
"Chōjiro, step back."
Yamamoto Genryu indifferently appeared on the side and walked toward this side. The crutch in his hand suddenly shattered, revealing a slender Zanpakuto.
"Captain!"
Seeing Yamamoto Genryu appear, Jiro Tori was slightly relieved, but he immediately reminded: "He has a Soul Gathering Nucleus in his hand! It can constantly absorb the nearby Reiki! "
"This old man knows."
Yamamoto Genryu responded calmly, then his figure flickered and appeared in front of Kamita Hasegawa, and the Zanpakuto in his hand slashed down.
After Yamamoto Genryu appeared, Kamita Hasegawa became serious. He knew that only Yamamoto Genryu was different. Even if he had a Soul Gathering Nucleus, he couldn't be careless!
Clang!!
Kamita Hasegawa waved the Zanpakuto in his hand and blocked Yamamoto Genryu's Zanpakuto, but he still couldn't maintain his figure under the pressure of Yamamoto Genryu's sword. He fell directly from the sky and hit the ground with a bang.
Yamamoto Genryu didn't show any relaxed look after cutting Kamita Hasegawa from the sky. Instead, his eyes showed a touch of seriousness.
His Reiki was absorbed.
Even if he didn't have Shikai and deliberately restrained his Reiki, he still lost a small amount of Reiki in a close collision, and it was forcibly absorbed by the Soul Gathering Nucleus.
Amidst the dust, Hasegawa Kamita slowly walked out with his Zanpakuto in his hand. He stepped into the sky again and said: "As expected of the captain, your power is really strong, but I blocked your attack, so I won!"
"Arrogant."
Yamamoto Genryu slowly said.
Even though Huo Yuhao had obtained a dangerous item like the collective soul core, it was clearly impossible for him to defeat Huo Yuhao with that.
If this place wasn't near the central room 46, but an open area suitable for fighting, then he would directly burst out his Reiki without any scruples, and directly let the opponent absorb it!
No matter what kind of absorption, there must be a limit, and his Reiki was enough to break the limit of the opponent's endurance.
But not now.
This was next to the central room 46. Once he used that kind of violent fighting method, it was easy to cause a huge explosion and affect the central room 46.
In other words, he had to use Hakusha and Shunpo to deal with the opponent.
As the Captain of the Gotei 13 for thousands of years, his Hakusha and Shunpo naturally stood at the top of Soul Society!
"Ichigo!"
In the next moment, Yamamoto Genryu Ryu Shiguni arrived in front of Kouta Hasegawa. The captain's Haori fell, and the inner clothes exploded, revealing the thick muscles, and punched.
Boom!!!
Kamita Hasegawa waved his Zanpakuto to block, but only for a moment, his whole body flew backward like a cannonball, and with a bang, he hit the ground hundreds of meters away, and the street was torn apart.
It was almost at this time, many figures came from afar one after another.
Second Division's Captain, Four-maple Courtyard's Captain, Soi Feng, Second Division's Vice-Captain, Maple Night, Third Division's Vice-Captain, Shooting Range Sentetsu, and Third Division's Captain, Phoenix Bridge …
Whoosh!
Maples came to a towering wall and stopped, after glancing at the situation in the field, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and his eyes penetrated the dust and looked at Kamita Hasegawa in the center.
A faint golden light flashed in his eyes, and many images flashed in his eyes in an instant, as if they were rewound, and he read a part of Kamita Hasegawa's past.
"Using this Kamita Hasegawa to attract the attention of the Gotei 13 …"
"What do you want to do, Aizen?"
Feng Ye calmly glanced in the direction of Room 46 before withdrawing his gaze.
He wasn't too interested in what Aizen wanted to do now, whether it was to sneak into the Central 46 or something else, he didn't care. It was too boring to see everything with the Eye of the Gods and the ability to see the past and the future.
He looked at Kamita Hasegawa again.
"This Soul Core is a bit interesting, it can continuously absorb the nearby Reiki … If I can analyze how it works, I may be able to go to the Soul King Palace earlier."
If Team Zero, Yamamoto Genryu, Yuragi Shiguku, Yuragi Bach, Hogyoku Aizen, Ichigo Moonless, and the others joined forces, although they would not be defeated, they would still encounter a little bit of trouble. But as long as he obtained the power of Spirit King, all of this would be in vain.
So the sooner he got the power of the Soul King, the better.
