Chapter 294 The Old and the New
When Ichibei, the commander of the army, stuffed the black mud left after Yhwach's death into the crystal seal, the collapse of the Three Realms came to an abrupt end and everything returned to normal.
The souls floating in the outside world began to unconsciously gather towards the Soul King Palace, until the density of souls in the atmosphere reached several times that of Soul Society.
Looking at the huge crystal suspended in the center of the large interior, Aizen frowned slightly.
After this battle, the ins and outs of the matter have been thoroughly sorted out, but new problems have arisen.
How long will Yhwach remain in this state, and will he awaken from his slumber?
You know, the Spirit King even had his limbs and internal organs cut off by the ancestor of the five nobles, but he could still perceive the outside world.
From a certain perspective, it can be called true omniscience and omnipotence.
Does that mean that Yhwach, who swallowed the Soul King, can also do this?
Aizen expressed his doubts to the monk.
Ichibei, the commander of the army, pondered for a moment and gave the answer:
"I don't know exactly how long it will last, but Yhwach who swallowed the body of Lord Soul King can be regarded as an immortal existence."
"In a sense, he has become part of the foundation of the world."
"Unless the world is erased, it is impossible to truly kill Yhwach."
Aizen thought in silence.
The Spiritual King, who is the wedge between the three realms, for some reason, tried to remove himself from the throne.
The emergence of Ru Yueming undoubtedly accelerated this process.
In the original plan, the Spiritual King planned to create an existence with corresponding authority to serve as his successor.
My own broken jade should be one of them.
Aizen knew this very well.
His life journey has not been smooth sailing, but it has not been stormy either.
There is obviously some kind of driving force behind this.
After a long period of collecting evidence and deliberation, he determined that it was influenced by the Spirit King's will.
Aizen even suspected that the Soul King wanted him to become a wedge in the three realms.
But fortunately, there is still someone standing in the way.
There is no doubt that Ru Yueming's existence has a profound impact on the Spirit King's thoughts.
After all, someone who possesses the will of the world is the biological son of this world.
Even the Spirit King cannot compare to this.
"Although the possibility is small, as time goes by, this probability will be infinitely magnified."
The commander of the army, Ichibei, had a solemn expression and said in a deep voice:
"Youhabach will eventually wake up from his slumber and come to the world in a more powerful form."
"If you are not dead by then, please stand up and stop him like you did today."
Ruyue Ming: "?"
Why is this old man so good at talking?
He stared at the monk with an evil expression, wondering where to punch him.
"Kisuke, what do you think?"
Aizen's light words directly made Urahara Kisuke, who was fishing on the side, unable to calm down.
What does this have to do with him? He is just a fun-loving person!
Akira Kisaragi's eyes moved around and landed on Urahara Kisuke, causing him to break out in cold sweat.
No one understands Ru Yueming better than him.
When this guy shows such a look, he must have bad intentions, and he will definitely be unlucky.
As expected, Kisuke Ming's next words made Urahara Kisuke's heart skip a beat.
"I almost forgot about my right-hand man."
"Kisuke, looking across the three realms, your wisdom is second only to mine, so you must be able to think of a solution, right?"
Urahara Kisuke's face turned bitter as he racked his brains to think of countermeasures.
Everyone was looking at this young man who had high hopes from Ruyue Ming, wanting to see what kind of plan this mediocre god of death would come up with.
After a brief silence, Urahara Kisuke's eyes lit up, he raised his right hand and extended his index finger:
"Hey, get a backup spirit king out!"
Aizen frowned, the monk was puzzled, and the monk Ruyue Mingzhang was confused.
Under the gaze of everyone, Urahara Kisuke spoke out his plan.
"Since the Three Realms Wedge can be replaced."
"Then why can't it be treated as some kind of mechanical equipment and cleaned and replaced regularly?"
"Even the gravity chamber of Squadron 11 needs to be repaired later. Is the Spirit King so unintelligent?"
The monk rubbed his beard and thought thoughtfully:
"But the problem is, if the Three Realm Wedge is so easy to create, Lord Spirit King will not have to waste so much time and energy."
Hearing this, Ru Yueming patted the monk's shoulder and grinned:
"Great monk, times have changed."
"Let me introduce you again. These two are the wisest beings in the Three Realms second only to me. They are my think tanks."
"The third seat of the 12th Division, Aizen Sosuke, and the third seat of the 11th Division, Urahara Kisuke."
"In addition, I have technicians under my command who are not inferior to theirs, such as Nirvana, Saofenpineapple, etc."
"If you pick anyone out, they are all wise men who can stand alone."
"When this group of people gather together, they will unleash amazing potential. Not to mention the Three Realms Wedge, even the Spirit King can create it for you."
The commander of the army, Ichibei, nodded and did not continue to refute.
In principle, this kind of thing is impossible, but the problem is that the current principle is in Ru Yueming's hands.
A person who can beat even Lingwang Ha to death with his fists doesn't have the guts and strength to stop what the other person wants to do.
If this kid gets confused, let alone one monk, even if there are ten or eight of them, they can be easily dealt with.
"The key to the problem now is the materials."
Urahara Kisuke reminded, "The materials needed to create the Three Realms Wedge are not easy to find."
Aizen lowered his eyes slightly, and a calm voice sounded in the empty palace:
"Leave the materials to me."
Seeing this, Urahara Kisuke was relieved and began to conceive a design plan.
The monk saw that everyone had reached a consensus, and it was difficult to say anything else. He could only continue his duty of guarding the Soul King Palace.
…………
In the Soul Society.
When the Holy Ceremony began, the war was over, and all the loyalists of Yhwach were eliminated, leaving only devastation.
The next step is the transfer plan of the Soul Society.
The ruins were completely cleared, and the World-Transforming Pillars ended their mission and transferred the Soul Society that remained in Hueco Mundo back.
It is worth mentioning that this process consumed a lot of nobles who used shady tricks behind the scenes.
In someone's words, in peacetime, they rely on their status to bully others, and in times of war, they jump out to disrupt the morale of the army. It is a waste of spirits to keep such people in the world, so just get rid of them in one go.
Although they keep saying that they are for the Soul Society and the Soul Society, this behavior is no different from Danzo in the next village.
Even if they are honest now, they will be a disaster in the future.
Yamamoto didn't say much about this, but his face was more relieved.
In his eyes, although someone looks stupid and reckless, he is actually rough and meticulous.
Whether it is the Soul Society or the Hueco Mundo, or the Invisible Empire, they are gradually prospering under the leadership of Ru Yueming.
It is a typical example of great wisdom and foolishness.
With such a son, what else can I ask for?
Yamamoto snorted and smiled, no longer looking at the busy people, and walked towards the team bar with a cane.
It's time to draft the letter of abdication for the captain-general.
Ru Yueming suddenly alerted and noticed the unknown malicious attack.
But on second thought, Yhwach has been dealt with, and there is no one in the three realms who can match him, not even Sosuke who has merged with the Hogyoku.
So what else is there to worry about?
Forget it, leave him alone.
Even if the sky falls, there is still Sosuke there to support it, and continue to play music and dance.
…………
For a long time afterwards, Kisaragi Akira finally lived the life of enjoyment she had always dreamed of, walking birds and playing with dogs all day long, how happy.
As for the many heavy official duties after the war, they were handled by the capable people in the Soul Society.
For example, Yamamoto, Aizen, Urahara, Tosen, Gin, etc.
As for Kisaragi Akira, in addition to eating at the first team every day, he also communicated with everyone.
Like Yoruichi, Rei, Rangiku, Gadis, Bambietta, etc., they would go to the Soul King Palace for a stroll from time to time.
A whole street urchin who was not doing his job properly.
Yoruichi repeatedly hinted that someone should go to the Shifengyuan family to propose marriage, but Ru Yueming pretended to be stupid every time.
He has so many wings now, and it is not wise to favor one over the other.
Although most of them don't care about it, Ru Yueming feels guilty about his conscience.
After all, it is not his style to take everything and leave.
And at this leisure time, the first team leader meeting after the war was held in the first team's dormitory.
Unlike usual, many people came to this meeting, almost filling up the huge conference room.
In addition to the twelve captains and Yamamoto, there are also the Ten Espadas of Hueco Mundo and the Knights of the Sterncross.
The captains looked at the Quincies standing opposite them with complicated expressions, and countless complaints emerged in their hearts, but they didn't know where to start.
Not long ago, the two sides were still fighting to the death, but in the blink of an eye, they stood here calmly to attend the meeting.
This change is really hard to explain.
The cause of all this is undoubtedly related to Akira Kisaragi, the most famous person in Soul Society.
Let's see what the captain of the 11th Division is doing at the moment.
Oh, he is distracted, that's fine.
It makes sense.
Whether it is the captain, the Arrancar, or the Quincy, they are all used to it and seem to have gotten used to it.
Akira Kisaragi was also like this when they were having a meeting.
There is nothing strange about it.
Yamamoto slammed the cane in his hand heavily on the ground, making a dull sound, attracting everyone's attention from Akira Kisaragi.
"Everyone, I called you here this time to announce something."
"For various reasons, I decided to hand over the position of the captain of the Gotei 13 to my beloved disciple Akira Kisaragi."
"From now on, he will serve as the captain and captain of the 1st Division."
Someone woke up from a nightmare and asked Yamamoto.
Old man Yamamoto, are you awake? !
Ru Yueming was stunned. He never expected that the old man would quit at such a critical moment.
He made a bitter face and tried to persuade Yamamoto with righteousness:
"Teacher, the Soul Society is in a state of disrepair. It is time for you to show your talents. How can you delay the development of Soul Society because of your desire for a moment of comfort?"
"And as everyone knows, I am inexperienced and cannot handle the task."
"I will continue to hone my skills in the 11th Division for a few hundred years before taking over your position."
Originally, Ru Yueming was still thinking about the position of captain-general, but after seeing several famous scenes of Yamamoto handling official business, he immediately gave up the idea.
He couldn't handle the official business of the 11th Division, so how could he be killed if he had to deal with the official business reported by the 13th Division at once?
Yamamoto shook his head and explained:
"After this battle, I know very well that I can no longer keep up with the changes in the world."
"Continuing to hold power in my hands will only delay the development of Soul Society."
"To describe it in the words you often say, that is..."
"I am a remnant of the old era, and there is no ship that can carry me in the new era."
At this point, Yamamoto paused, looked at Ru Yueming with eyes full of wisdom, and raised his lips slightly:
"But you don't have to worry about not being able to handle official business."
"I have my own countermeasures."
Next door, Urahara Kisuke, with a pair of heavy dark circles under his eyes, was looking at the appointment letter sent by Suzuki Chojiro with a distorted expression, as if the sky had fallen.
"Why is it like this, why is it like this!"
The shameful wailing sounded in the room, and two lines of tears flowed down his rough face.
Urahara Kisuke can no longer see any hope for the future.
Yamamoto Shigekuni, I despise you! !
In the meeting room, everyone was surprised at first when they heard Yamamoto's speech, and then they calmed down.
Lady Kisaragi succeeded as the captain-general? It should be so.
In terms of achievements, he unified the Hueco Mundo and the Invisible Empire, promoted friendly exchanges between the three realms, defeated Yhwach, destroyed his wolfish ambitions, and saved the world from fire and water.
In terms of strength, looking at the three realms, who dares to say that he can withstand a punch from him?
Although his personality is a bit reckless, these are all insignificant things and are not worth worrying about.
It would be unreasonable for such a great person not to be the captain-general.
Therefore, when the master and apprentice finished arguing, Unohana Retsu took the lead in expressing his opinion:
"I agree."
The other captains followed closely and seconded the proposal, and must send Kisaragi Akira to the throne of the captain-general of the Gotei 13.
Ichimaru Gin immediately took out the white haori that he had prepared in advance and draped it over Ru Yueming.
On the back of the haori, there was a "one" character.
Next to him, Haschwald saw this and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
After everyone expressed their opinions, he immediately raised his hand to signal.
For a moment, countless scrutinizing eyes were focused on Haschwald.
However, Haschwald, who had excellent qualities, would naturally not be afraid of this small scene.
He stood up generously and said neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"Youhabach is dead, and the throne of the emperor of the Invisible Empire is vacant."
"The Quincies are in a confused situation and don't know what to do next."
Looking at Haschwald standing next to him, Ru Yueming suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Right now, the Empire urgently needs a new emperor to lead us forward."
"After discussions within the Knights, we unanimously elected Ming as the new emperor."
As he spoke, Hasward manipulated the spirit particles to condense a crimson cloak, and draped it over Ruyueming with ease.
Feeling the warmth brought by the two pieces of clothing, Ruyueming wanted to cry but had no tears:
"You have really made me suffer!"
