Following the Bounts into a hidden mountain cave, Kurosaki Hiro saw an ancient, paint-red portal.
"Is this the Senkaimon that can spiritualize the physical body?"
Kurosaki Hiro curiously examined the peculiar, dilapidated portal.
As Kariya Jin and the others injected their spiritual pressure into it, spatial fluctuations emanated from the door, but the central spatial barrier remained unopened.
"It's your turn, Quincy!"
Kurosaki Hiro didn't hesitate, drawing his bowstring and firing a Holy Arrow directly into the Senkaimon.
The Senkaimon instantly burst forth with dazzling blue light, and the spatial barrier, after being infused with the Quincy's spiritual pressure, fully opened.
Seeing this, Kariya Jin was immediately overjoyed.
"Hahahaha, the centuries-old hatred between us Bounts and the Soul Society can finally be settled today!"
Moments later, with a command from Kariya Jin, the Bounts and Ichinose Maki collectively rushed in.
Only after seeing all the expendable sacrifices enter did Kurosaki Hiro leisurely step into the Senkaimon bound for the Soul Society!
"So dizzy!"
The sensation within the Senkaimon was peculiar, as if Kurosaki Hiro himself was being continuously tumbled in a washing machine.
In the Soul Society, on the outskirts of Rukongai's North District 72, an irregular portal formed in mid-air, from which nine figures emerged: the Bounts and the former rogue Shinigami, Ichinose Maki.
Kariya Jin first surveyed his surroundings, carefully observing and, finding no one else present, instructed his subordinates:
"We'll split up. Koga Go and Yuki, you two go to Rukongai and cause a riot."
"Mashiro, Ugaki, Sawatari, Peng, and Iwa will split up and set up Barrier Seals when the opportunity arises."
"As for you, Maki, you can seek your revenge first. After all, after today, the Soul Society will cease to exist!"
After speaking, Kariya Jin greedily inhaled the omnipresent, rich spiritual particles in the Soul Society.
"We were born here, and we shall be buried here. Go, let the entire Soul Society be buried with us!"
"Yes!"
With Kariya Jin's command, his subordinates instantly scattered and departed.
Once everyone had left, Kariya Jin carefully sensed his surroundings but still couldn't locate Kurosaki Hiro.
"Never mind. Since the entire Soul Society will no longer exist, that Quincy brat naturally won't survive!"
Immediately, an invisible wind swirled around Kariya Jin, and his speed instantly surged as he headed towards Seireitei.
At the same time, not far from where the Bounts landed, on the outskirts of Rukongai's North District 75, an irregular Senkaimon appeared, and Kurosaki Hiro burst out of it.
"Amazing!"
The moment he stepped into the Soul Society, Kurosaki Hiro felt an extremely rich spiritual particle rush over him.
This time, he had used the Bounts' Senkaimon to bring his physical body to the Soul Society.
Therefore, the moment he entered the Soul Society, he felt an extremely rich spiritual particle, which involuntarily washed over his physical body.
Kurosaki Hiro had not yet used his spiritual particle convergence or Quincy abilities, yet these spiritual particles, like tadpoles searching for their mother, madly poured into his physical body.
"Ah, so refreshing!"
Kurosaki Hiro's physical body had been in the spiritually barren Human World for eighteen years, and now, upon first arriving in the Soul Society, he was directly surrounded by these spiritual particles.
He even felt a sense of blissful ecstasy!
"I'm spiritually drunk!"
This was like someone who had lived in a high-altitude region for a long time suddenly coming to a low-altitude region with abundant oxygen and experiencing oxygen intoxication.
"Roar!"
Just as Kurosaki Hiro was enjoying the spiritual particle baptism with a look of pleasure, a large, irregular rift suddenly opened in the space not far behind him.
Dozens of lesser Hollows and a Gillian crawled out of the rift, roaring at Kurosaki Hiro!
"Does it have to be this coincidental?"
He hadn't expected to encounter the Hollows that his main body had ordered Fleur to deploy.
Gazing at the Hollows that were senselessly roaring at him, Kurosaki Hiro directly materialized a spiritual bow and arrow, and shot an arrow!
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
Kurosaki Hiro only fired two ordinary Holy Arrows, killing all dozens of lesser Hollows and the Gillian present!
"This power…"
He was surprised to find that the power of his Holy Arrow had increased by two-tenths compared to when he was in the Human World.
This showed the significant impact of the spiritual particle concentration in the environment on a Quincy's combat power.
...
At the same time, in the Squad One Barracks conference room.
Yamamoto Genryūsai stood calmly in the center, holding his wooden staff, while the Squad Captains stood on either side.
"Captain-Commander, the number of Hollows that have infiltrated this spatial turbulence is dozens of times greater than before, and in addition to a large number of Hollows, the Technological Development Bureau has also detected the presence of spiritual pressure that does not belong to Hollows! Among them, there is even powerful spiritual pressure reaching the Squad Captain level!"
"I judge that this spatial turbulence was intentionally caused by someone, all to cover for these intruders. The Soul Society has been invaded by unknown, mysterious intruders!"
On the right, a Squad Captain with yellow irises, wearing a black and white mask, with his soul reaper uniform having an outward-flared dark purple collar, and unusually long middle fingernails, was reporting the situation to Yamamoto Genryūsai.
This person was Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the Captain of the Twelfth Division and Director of the Technological Development Bureau!
After listening to Mayuri, Yamamoto Genryūsai pondered for a moment before speaking:
"I announce that Seireitei is entering a Level Two alert state, and all Squad Captains are permitted to use Shikai!"
"Hey, Mayuri, you just said there were Squad Captain-level intruders, right!"
Upon hearing this, a slight smile appeared on Zaraki Kenpachi's somewhat fierce face, and he then turned and was the first to leave the First Division conference room.
Seeing Kenpachi rush out so impatiently, Yamamoto Genryūsai sighed, not saying much.
"This incident will be primarily handled by your Tenth Division, with the other divisions providing cooperation! This is also the first matter you will oversee as a newly appointed Squad Captain, so don't disappoint me, Shiba Captain!"
On the left, a tall, black-haired young man, wearing a Squad Captain's haori, suddenly stepped forward, his handsome face carrying a hint of nonchalance.
"Yes, Captain-Commander!"
This person was the newly appointed Captain of the Tenth Division, the head of the Shiba Family branch, Shiba Isshin!
"Meeting adjourned!"
With Yamamoto Genryūsai's command, the Squad Captains all left the room.
Shiba Isshin, meanwhile, walked along, scratching his head and continuously grumbling:
"How unlucky! I've only been a Captain for half a month and I've already encountered something like this!"
However, there was nothing he could do about it.
The Tenth Division, which he commanded, was inherently a patrol and security squad, responsible for performing patrol and security duties and maintaining the safety inside and outside the Shinigami organization.
"Captain, why the long face again? Did something unpleasant happen?"
Just as Shiba Isshin reached the entrance of the Tenth Division Barracks, he heard a pleasant female voice.
Shiba Isshin turned to see a beautiful woman with golden hair, exuding the charm of a mature woman, with a voluptuous figure, defined facial features, and a beauty mark at the corner of her mouth.
Upon seeing the beauty, Shiba Isshin's previously somewhat gloomy mood instantly brightened.
This woman was Matsumoto Rangiku, who was currently the Seventh Seat of the Tenth Division.
Stealing a glance at Matsumoto Rangiku's ample chest, Shiba Isshin slowly spoke:
"Rangiku, we have work. Intruders have invaded!"
