Bleach: After Retiring From Zero Division, Aizen Came To Study

The sea of ​​clouds rises and falls, but remains below it.

This is above the sky, where the throne is, and the center of the entire world.

This is Team Zero.

The Gotei 13 is an older division than the Seireitei, or rather, the Gotei 13 itself is an organization modeled after the Zero Division.

Taking the Soul King Omotesando as a trajectory and extending in all directions, this is the place where Squad Zero is located.

Every Shinigami who is promoted to the Zero Squad will first integrate the power of the Soul King into his body, using it to reshape his body and bones, and then Use the power of the Spirit King in your body to create the Oken.

(T/N: The fuck is this? Please comment if you know)

Here, as long as the Oken is not destroyed, even if the person involved dies, he can still be resurrected.

Correspondingly, Team Zero also has extremely important responsibilities.

That is, the Guardian Spirit King.

Guard the cornerstone of the world.

In the earliest times, the world was in chaos.

The ancient void devours everything. If it continues, the entire world will turn into nothingness.

It was the appearance of the Spirit King that defeated the Ancient Void and plunged the chaotic world into a cycle.

However, such a world is not recognized by some people. Even if the Spirit King defeats the Hollow, hell still exists in that world, and as long as the chaotic world continues to evolve, new Hollows will still be born.

Ever since, a conspiracy was born.

The ancestors of Shinigami attacked the Soul King and used the omniscience and omnipotence of the Soul King to open up the world of chaos, dividing the world into two parts. They are the world of the instrument and the world of the Soul Society.

And somewhere in the middle of the two worlds is the Hueco Mundo.

Hueco Mundo is located in the gap between the two worlds.

It can be said to be a legacy of the chaotic world.

Naturally, the concentration of souls in this world is far better than that of the current world and Soul Society.

The souls of those who die in the current world will have a lot of energy.

There is a high probability of falling into it and turning into nothingness.

If the Hollows are allowed to continue to multiply, sooner or later, the Hollows will devour the entire world.

Therefore, the existence of Soul Society is to limit Hueco Mundo and maintain the balance between souls.

Shinigami, this profession was born.

Shinigami does not exist to kill.

But for purification, for balance.

Also after the appearance of Shinigami, Hell, which originally had a strong presence in the chaotic world, was gradually suppressed.

Their functions were gradually replaced by Soul Society's Shinigami.

Above the Soul Society, where the Zero Squadron is located, is also where the Soul King's Palace is located.

After Shinigami's ancestors reopened the world with the help of the Spirit King, the Spirit King himself became a symbolic object. He was made into the cornerstone of the world by Shinigami's ancestors.

As long as he is alive, the entire world will tend to be stable.

For the world to remain stable.

Ichibei Hyōsube, the oldest and most powerful Shinigami, volunteered to guard the Soul King here.

In the following years, many powerful Shinigami appeared.

They created many things that Soul Society had never had before, adding "order" to this new world and making the world more stable.

They were introduced to Zero by Ichibei Hyōsube.

The team became royal spies, with the mission of protecting the Spirit King and the world.

To this day.

Except Ichibei Hyōsube.

There are four members in Team Zero.

Ōetsu Nimaiya who created Zanpakutō, Tenshiro Kirinji who created medical skills, Shutara Senjumaru who created the Death Haze Suit, and Kishou Arima who created the system of application of souls.

(T/N: Didn't want to think of a name myself so I just took him)

The emergence of Zanpakutō represents the end of the old era and the beginning of a new era for Shinigami.

Sealed state, Shikai, and Bankai use Zanpakutō as a medium to reflect the soul of Shinigami, making it easier to unearth the powerful power in Shinigami.

Since then, the profession of Shinigami has become popular and easier to become powerful.

The emergence of medical skills represents the existence of redemption in a world where there was originally only killing.

The Death Overlord outfit makes Shinigami more professional and becomes a group in a true sense, which means that the order is gradually becoming more stable.

If we follow the normal trajectory, the last member of Team Zero should be Hikifune Kiryu who created the soul-transforming technology.

But now, Hikifune Kiryu has not yet been promoted to the Zero Division, and the last member to replace him is Kishou Arima.

There is naturally a reason for this.

Kishou Arima is a Transmigrator.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person. His biggest hobbies were watching TV dramas and playing games after get off work. As for anime, he didn't watch a lot. He just followed the three major migrant anime for a while in the past.

As a result, it was such an ordinary person who, after waking up, traveled through time and space.

After a period of exploration, he found that he had transmigrated to the world of Shinigami.

He was quite familiar with the Shinigami world.

After all, I have watched anime before.

However, the time he transmigrated was a bit early.

It's a story that took place many years before the plot begins.

At that time, not long after the battle with Yhwach, the founder of the Quincy, Soul Society was in dire straits.

In this case, Arima decisively chose to become a Shinigami.

Fortunately, he has the qualifications to become a Shinigami and is not a "whole person."

Therefore, becoming a Shinigami is not too difficult for Arima.

At that time, Soul Society had just defeated the Quincy headed by Yhwach.

But the entire Soul Society itself was severely damaged, and I don't know how many Shinigami died.

Hueco Mundo was just about to make a move at this time.

In order to maintain the balance between souls, Soul Society had to allocate part of its power to go to Hueco Mundo to purify the void and conduct an expedition.

Not long after becoming Shinigami, Arima directly became a member of the expeditionary force.

In order to survive in this cruel world, he had to work hard to become stronger.

Relying on his strong ability to perceive spirit weapon and various thoughts before traveling through time, he successfully developed many techniques for using spirit weapon. From this point of view, it is a pity that he does not become a Quincy.

Time keeps passing.

In the blink of an eye, Arima completely established a foothold in this world and became a true strong man.

It was also at this time that he received an invitation from Team Zero.

Then he joined Team Zero and became a member of Team Zero.

However, all this did not last for many years.

Today, Arima officially submitted his resignation to Ichibei Hyōsube, preparing to retire from the Zero Division.

Below the Soul King Palace, it is located in the center of Soul King Omotesando.

This is the Reiban Riden of Ichibei Hyōsube, and it is also the original Reiban Riden. Directly above it is the Soul King Daiuchi, where the Soul King Palace is located, the most important place in the entire world.

Because Soul King Ouchi is so important, even members of Team Zero would not take the initiative to go there.

The place where they gather is mostly placed below it, in the Reiban Riden Hall belonging to Ichibei Hyōsube.

"Really, after waiting for so many years, I finally got a partner. I didn't expect that now we have to be separated again." Ōetsu Nimaiya, known as the 'God of Swords', looked at Arima in front of him with some emotion.

Tenjirō Kirinji raised his eyebrows slightly but said nothing.

Shutara Senjumaru was as indifferent as ever, choosing to look quietly at the young man with short black hair in front of him.

The young man's appearance is quite handsome, and even though he is about to leave the Zero Division, he doesn't show much sadness or reluctance.

Because it was him who took the initiative to submit his resignation.

"Have you really thought about it?"

Ichibei Hyōsube, a rather fat and kind-hearted Yamato Shang, once again confirmed to Arima in front of him.

Arima said: "You also know the specific situation. I have explained to you before that I will take the initiative to retire. This is the result of my careful consideration."

"I'm afraid if I continue to stay here, I really can't help but attack there."

"Instead of waiting until we become enemies someday, it would be better for me to leave here on my own initiative."

Ichibei Hyōsube sighed in his heart, he knew Arima's situation very well.

Being able to become a member of Team Zero, Arima is naturally a genius Shinigami in the true sense and a strong man in the true sense.

However, perhaps it is because he is too talented that staying here is not a good thing.

The spirit son of Hueco Mundo is very rich, but it cannot be compared with this place. The Spirit King's Palace is filled with super spiritual power, which is far better than the ordinary spirit son. This is the center of the world and the place where the Spirit King is located.

Arima is an expert in the study of souls. The longer he stays here, the stronger his thirst for knowledge will become.

Over time, it is likely to turn into disaster.

It is true that after joining Team Zero, the body and bones of those who join will be baptized and reshaped by the power of the Soul King. The reshaped bones can be called King Keys, and they are considered to have the power of the Soul King.

However, this is only a part of the Spirit King's power. How can this mere part of the power be compared with the "Spirit King" himself who is located within the Spirit King?

Arima's dilemma, Ichibei Hyōsube is well aware of.

Although since the establishment of the Zero Division, there has never been a case of a member retiring or leaving the Zero Division.

But there was no precedent in the past, but there can be one now.

After all, the members of Team Zero were promoted themselves. Since they can be promoted, they can naturally retire or retire.

"Now that you've decided, I won't say anything more."

"I respect your decision."

The reason why Ichibei Hyōsube asked Arima was just to confirm Arima's thoughts again.

Since Arima has already decided, he can't say much.

"Since you are leaving Team Zero, the power of the Soul King must be stripped away from your body. This process will be very painful. I hope you can know it."

Arima nodded, "I know."

The power of the Soul King reshapes the body bones of the members of Team Zero. This bone is called the King Key and is also the key to and from the Soul King Palace.

Now that Arima is preparing to leave the Lingwang Palace and Team Zero, it is naturally impossible for him to keep the king key with him.

After all, this place is of great importance and no one is allowed to come here.

Ichibei Hyōsube didn't say anything unnecessary.

Afterwards, Reiban left the palace.

Arima went through an extremely painful ritual.

It can be said that when he became a member of the Zero Division, it was painful to reshape his body and bones with the help of the Soul King, and it is just as painful now.

After all, this time he got it in reverse, taking back the power of the Spirit King in his body.

Of course, because the power of the Spirit King has reshaped his body bones, even if it is taken away, Arima's current body is better than before, but this process is still extremely painful.

The process is not very long.

After all this was over, Arima was sweating profusely and looked extremely pale, but there was still a faint smile on his face.

He looked at several members of Team Zero with different expressions and said with a smile: "Guys, I'll see you again in the future."

…

To get to Soul Society from the Soul Palace, you need to pass through seventy-two layers of barriers.

In the beginning, there were actually no seventy-two layers of barriers.

The Spirit King's Palace is simply suspended in the sky, undefended.

Until, a Hollow broke into Soul Society, first defeated the young Yamamoto Shigekuni of Soul Society, and then killed the Soul King Ouchi in the Soul King Palace.

Although he was defeated by Ichibei Hyōsube in the end, his body was used by Ōetsu Nimaiya to build Zanpakutō.

But this lesson also made Ichibei Hyōsube realize the importance of the security of Soul King Palace.

So, he mobilized the power of the Spirit King and set up seventy-two layers of barriers.

Only with the help of the power of the Spirit King who has the same origin and creates the King Key, can we forcefully break through these seventy-two layers of barriers and reach the Spirit King Palace.

Now Arima no longer has the key.

If he wanted to return to Soul Society, he could only use Ichibei Hyōsube to temporarily open a gap in the seventy-two-layer barrier, and then he walked down from it.

Although there are some risks in opening the seventy-two-layer barrier.

But in order to bid farewell to Arima, the first person to retire from the Zero Division, Ichibei Hyōsube still did this.

Arima spent three days.

I have just returned to the land of Soul Society from the Soul King Palace.

Returning to this land, he felt a little emotional.

Once upon a time, he lived on this land for many years. After that, he served as the captain of Gotei 13 for a while, and then was promoted to become a member of Team Zero.

It can be said that if there is a peak in Shinigami's career, he has already been at the top.

But now, he voluntarily gave up his peak career and chose to return to Soul Society.

"Let's go meet Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni first."

Arima's eyes flashed, and he already had his own plan for the future.
