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

"Is this the knife?"

Kyoraku Shunsui looked at the artifact brought by his sister-in-law with focused eyes.

As the cloth wrapping the Short Sword was untied, the true appearance of the sword came into view.

It was a short sword that was similar to a ruler.

There were four prisms on both sides of the sword body.

There are two sword spikes tied at the end of the head and the guard.

Its appearance is completely different from the sealed state of Shinigami, and it is full of sacred meaning.

"According to family legend, this sword is an edgeless sword specially used for ceremonial purposes. It is ineffective against people and cannot hurt people. It confronts God, accepts the power of God with its body, and swings it in all directions. Enough to destroy any sacred thing it touches..."

Ise Isuzu introduced Arima and Kyoraku Shunsui.

"But I don't know whether this is the case, but I can feel that there is indeed divine power in this sword."

Arima also looked at the Ise family's artifact Eight Mirror Sword seriously and said: "Speaking of swords passed down from generation to generation, I also thought of another one.

"Oh?" Kyoraku Shunsui was very curious.

Arima provoked a pretext and aroused Kyoraku Shunsui's curiosity, so naturally he had to satisfy him.

"That sword is called Enrakyōten."

(T/N: Tokinada the Goat)

It is a Zanpakutō passed down from the era of the Tsunayashiro family, one of the five nobles.

Similar to this sword of the Ise family, Enrakyōten is also a Zanpakutō that can only be wielded by members of the Tsunayashiro family. It is said that the sword can copy all the Shikai abilities of Zanpakutō seen by the sword holder.

Of course, because of the strength of the sword holder, the power of the copied Shikai will also be strong or weak.

If the sword holder is strong enough, the copied Shikai may even surpass the original."

"However, if you want to use such a knife, you need to pay a price."

"The price is that every time the sword is swung, the soul of the sword holder will be damaged. In other words, the sword is driven by the soul of the sword holder."

"What a terrifying knife." Kyoraku Shunsui sighed after listening to Arima's story.

Although the Kyōraku family is a higher-level noble, they are still far behind the five great nobles.

He really didn't know that the Tsunayashiro family, one of the five great nobles, actually hid such a special Zanpakutō.

Being able to copy any Shikai you see is scary to think about.

Although it is just a Shikai, some Shinigami's Zanpakutō are powerful enough just by being a Shikai.

For example, Ryūjin Jakka from Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

"Don't you think this sword is very similar to the Ise family's Eight Mirror Sword?"

Arima said to Kyoraku Shunsui: "It is also a Zanpakutō that has been passed down from generation to generation. It is also a sword that can only be wielded by those with a specific bloodline. If you want to use it, you need to pay a price."

"The price of using Enrakyōten is the soul of the sword holder, while using the Eight Mirror Sword will bring a corresponding curse."

Kyoraku Shunsui and Ise Isuzu nodded involuntarily.

Arima made some digressions, told something about the Tsunayashiro family among the five nobles, and then returned his attention to the Eight Mirror Sword.

"According to what you said, this is a sword meant to confront the gods. The Ise family may have been cursed by the gods."

Ise Isuzu said nothing.

Kyoraku Shunsui asked: "Senior Arima, do gods really exist in this world?"

Arima tilted his head and shrugged, "Who knows."

But deep down in his heart, he thought of the Spirit King.

To this world, the Spirit King is actually similar to a real god, infinitely close to omniscience and omnipotence.

But it was only infinitely close, so it was murdered by the ancestors of the five nobles.

Now it can only be used as a mascot, staying in the Spirit King's Palace.

Although it can still affect some things quietly with its powerful power.

Development, but there are really not many things it can affect.

"Can you allow me to analyze this knife?"

Arima asked Ise Isuzu.

Ise Oriyun nodded.

Of course she doesn't mind.

In the past, only members of the Ise family could wield this sword, and ordinary people could not use its power if they got it. She had no hope that Arima could analyze anything from it.

But on the other hand, if Arima really parsed something out of it, it would be a good thing for her.

"Prepare a quiet room for me."

Arima made his request.

When analyzing this sword, he planned to do it alone. Naturally, he could not let Kyoraku Shunsui and Ise Isuzu watch.

Kyoraku Shunsui looked at Arima in surprise. Although he was very curious about how Arima would analyze the Eight Mirror Sword, when he thought of Arima's past, he finally suppressed his inner curiosity.

Every Shinigami has its own secret.

There are even many Shinigami who guard even their own Zanpakutō abilities.

Senior Arima obviously had his reasons for not letting him watch.

The Ise family is very large.

After all, its ancestors have been rich and it is a Shinto family that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Even now, although it has not entered the Seireitei, it still has some weight among the many nobles of the Soul Society.

It is an extremely special family.

The biggest flaw of this family is that there are few people.

There is no telling which generation will cut off the inheritance.

There are only a few people, but they occupy such a large house, which results in a lot of empty rooms.

Ise Isuzu quickly arranged a house for Arima.

Stepping into it with the Eight Mirror Sword of the Ise family, the first thing Arima did was to cast Bakudō.

In just a short moment, I don't know how many barriers were placed in this house.

"What a cautious senior!"

Kyoraku Shunsui felt the situation in the room and couldn't help but sigh.

Ise Isuzu stood beside him and couldn't help but ask Kyoraku Shunsui: "Is your senior very powerful?"

Kyoraku Shunsui pondered for a while and said: "How to put it, if there is a pinnacle in the Shinigami profession, then this senior is the one who once stood at the top of Shinigami. Compared with us, the captains of Gotei 13, in terms of level Speaking of which, it's actually higher."

Ise Isuzu was shocked.

She is not a Shinigami, but she has lived among the Seireitei for many years, and her husband is the head of the upper-class Kyoraku family, so she knows the Shinigami very well.

You know what kind of gold the Gotei 13 captain has.

As a result, the guests Shunsui brought today were actually more powerful than the captain.
