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

Arima didn't know that Kyoraku Shunsui was praising him.

If he had known about it, he would have waved his hands with a proud look on his face, but said humbly, "Over-praise, over-praise, it's just a false reputation."

In the room, many Kidō barriers were arranged to prevent the prying eyes of outsiders.

Arima pulled out the Zanpakutō he carried with him.

Logically speaking, after a Shinigami leaves the division to which he belongs and retires, his Zanpakutō will be collected and remain in the division.

But for Team Zero, the situation is different from Gotei 13.

Arima left the Zero Squadron, but was deprived of the power of the Soul King that was originally given to him, and lost the King Key. Zanpakutō's words were still retained.

Of course, because he joined Team Zero in order to limit its powerful Bankai.

Even after leaving Team Zero, his Bankai cannot be used under normal circumstances.

Of course, this is not a big deal for Arima. He is not a Shinigami who likes to rely on Bankai. Even without Bankai, his strength will not drop off a cliff.

On the contrary, some Shinigami relied too much on Bankai, and Arima felt that they were a bit complacent.

For Shinigami, Zanpakutō, and slicing techniques are just part of Shinigami's abilities.

It is possible to rely on a Zanpakutō to improve your strength, but relying too much on a Zanpakutō will cause you to be in trouble once the sword is restricted, such as Bankai being taken away, and you will become a lamb to be slaughtered.

Although Arima traveled back earlier in time, he could always remember the strange methods of the Quincy in the Thousand-Year Blood War in the original work.

For this reason, in addition to mastering Zanpakutō's abilities, he tried his best to develop other methods and learn other abilities.

Therefore, he is truly an all-around Shinigami.

"Wake up, Kyōmei!"

(T/N: It means (共鳴) – "Resonance")

The low words of liberation came from Arima's mouth.

The next moment, his Zanpakutō was released, and the entire sword disappeared directly from Arima's hand.

But this kind of liberation is completely different from the liberation of Byakuya Kuchiki Senbonzakura.

After the liberation of Senbonzakura, Zanpakutō also disappeared, but its so-called disappearance was because the blade turned into countless small blades, like Sakura flowers, that could be manipulated by the sword owner.

After Arima's liberation, his sword completely disappeared.

The mystery is only known to Arima, the master of Zanpakutō.

After his liberation, Zanpakutō disappeared.

Arima also holds the Eight Mirror Sword, a sacred weapon passed down from generation to generation by the Ise family.

At this moment, with the help of the abilities given to him after Zanpakutō was liberated, his spiritual sense has been strengthened to an unprecedented level. He can sense that this artifact contains an extremely supreme and great power.

Ordinary power cannot touch this power.

This reminded him of the power of the Soul King's right arm that he had sensed earlier in Jūshirō Ukitake's body.

The power hidden in the Eight Mirror Sword is very similar to that power, but there are some differences.

At least, the power of the Soul King has strong restraints on the power of Shinigami.

The pure power of Shinigami is difficult to harm.

If it reaches the Spirit King himself, it may even cause a backlash from the Spirit King's power.

There is certainly a reason for this.

After all, the reason why the Soul King ended up like this was related to Shinigami.

Although the Spirit King has great love in his heart, he is ultimately willing to serve as the cornerstone of the world and maintain its existence.

But that doesn't mean there's no resentment in his heart.

It's just that his resentment was stripped away.

The Soul King's son, Yhwach, is the successor of his resentment, and the one he left behind to seek revenge against Shinigami.

From this point of view, it is actually difficult to explain clearly whether Yhwach is the son of the Soul King, or whether he is a part of the Soul King's body.

But what is certain is that the power of the Soul King that naturally suppresses the power of the Shinigami, and the Quincy's power, which is related to the power of the Soul King, can also target the power of the Shinigami.

But in this world, there is no perfect power.

Just like the Quincy's power, which can restrain the Shinigami's power, it also has its nemesis, and that is the power of the Hollow.

Quincy can control the spiritual particles, while Hollow can directly swallow the Spiritual particles and turn it into nothingness.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this natural restraint that the Quincy feels deep hatred for the Hollow and hopes to completely annihilate and cut off the Hollow. Therefore, when the Quincy meets a Hollow, he directly erases its existence, even the Spiritual particles. None of them exist anymore.

This is not the case with Shinigami.

Although Shinigami that uses its own spiritual power can be restrained by the Quincy's ability to manipulate spiritual particles, it can bring purification to Hollows.

All Hollows killed by Shinigami will be liberated, and their particles will be freed.

They will reappear in Seireitei, and then, over the long years, they will continue to gather and form new souls.

At this point, I have to say that triangles are indeed very stable shapes.

This world is divided into three realms, the current world, Hueco Mundo, and Soul Society, which are opposed to each other like a triangle.

The current world is the weakest, but it is the origin of Soul Society and Hueco Mundo.

Without the death of human beings in the present world, there would not be such a world.

Many souls come to Soul Society and Hueco Mundo successively to replenish the population.

In addition, the powers controlled by the three existences of Shinigami, Quincy, and Hollow also restrain each other.

Although the power of the Soul King is the source of the Quincy's power, it is of a higher level than it. To be precise, what it can suppress is not only the power of the Shinigami, but also the power of the Quincy and Hollow.

After all, in the ancient times, it was the Spirit King who defeated the ancient Hollow and saved the chaotic world from the fate of destruction.

So, what is this power hidden in the Eight Mirror Sword that is comparable to the power of the Spirit King?

Under normal circumstances, it is naturally difficult to find out the truth.

But this power is hidden in the Zanpakutō.

And Arima had been in the Zero Squadron, and had studied with Ōetsu Nimaiya,

so he knew Zanpakutōs very well.

As Arima circulates his power after the liberation of Zanpakutō, sealing this power, the existence of the Eight Mirror Sword as the carrier and body seems to have disappeared, and the "spirit" hidden in the sword is reflected in reality.

Arima finally saw clearly what the Eight Realm Swords spirit ooked like.

The "sword spirit" in the Eight Mirror Sword is different from the ordinary "sword spirit" of Zanpakutō. It has no vital signs and does not look like a living soul. It should be regarded as a dead soul, a puppet without independent consciousness.

Its body was incomplete, but through close observation, Arima still understood from it that it had the same power as the Hollows in Hueco Mundo today.
