Chapter 63: Soul Society Shocks
Central 46 didn't even have time to let out a scream. They were directly burned to the appearance of coal, with only a little sizzling sound vaguely heard.
Shendu quietly admired his masterpiece, waiting for things to ferment.
Using the underground meeting hall as fuel, the flames rapidly expanded and swept towards the sky in just an instant.
The first to discover the problem was 8th Division Members, who was in charge of guarding the place.
The scorching fire that approached in an instant left the surrounding Shinigami in a daze.
What happened?
Where am I again?
From the beginning to the end, their eyes were always focused on the entrance of the underground meeting hall. Not to mention strangers approaching, not even acquaintances came.
But what happened to this sudden scorching flame?
Could it be that the members of the Central 46, who are so high above, couldn't think about it collectively?
In other words, some kind of irreconcilable conflict occurred between them, and they began to kill each other...
Although it was not clear what exactly happened, they knew one thing.
That is, a major event affecting the entire Seireitei and even the Soul Society had happened.
At the same time, in the team building closest to the scene...
An old Whitebeard, who was roasting sweet potatoes with Ryūjin Jakka, suddenly looked in the direction of the underground chamber.
The flames soaring into the sky filled his eyes.
He shocked and by accident, Ryūjin Jakka's flame rose up, directly burning the sweet potato to ashes.
He couldn't care less about his heartache.
Yamamoto Genryusai launched Shunpo, and disappeared from the room directly.
As a staunch party of the old school, although he doesn't like Central 46, he will never allow anything that endangers Room 46 to happen.
Because Central 46 symbolizes the highest judicial organ of the Soul Society, and it is also the face of the Soul Society.
Shendu's unabashed Reiatsu release was soon noticed by the captains of other teams.
The eighth division team building.
Kyoraku Shunsui, who had just put down the pink Haori, looked at the distant sky with a surprised expression.
The sky in the direction of the underground meeting hall had been completely dyed red.
"What is this scenario?"
"Old man yama, did he rebel?"
Kyoraku Shunsui's tone was a little excited. "This is great news."
"As a disciple, I must stand on the united front with my teacher."
He picked up the haori that had been put down with his backhand, put it on his body again, and headed towards the direction of the underground meeting hall.
Fifth Division Team Building
Aizen Sōsuke, who was immersed in calligraphy, suddenly stopped.
He had fought with Shendu before, and he was no stranger to the powerful and tyrannical Reiatsu.
He raised his pale face, coughed a few times, and looked as if he was seriously injured and dying.
But the arc outlined at the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.
An imperceptible sound resounded in the room.
"Shendu, is this your position..."
All the captains who noticed this incident went to the vicinity of the underground chamber as quickly as possible.
And when they arrived, Captain Yamamoto Genryusai was already standing near the entrance, looking gloomily at the terrifying flames that were about to swallow the sky.
He had questioned the Shinigami who were guarding there.
But no matter who it was, no abnormal traces were found.
Central 46 in the underground meeting hall had been completely destroyed in the flames, and there were no longer any fluctuations in life.
Whether Yamamoto Genryusai was angry over the burnt sweet potatoes or the dead Central 46 is unknown.
But at least, neither Kyoraku Shunsui nor Jūshirō Ukitake present dared to test Yamamoto Genryusai's temper at this time.
"Sa, are all Central 46 dead?"
A slightly joyful tone came from the stone passage.
For a moment, the eyes of all the captains who came here focused on the owner of the voice.
The white captain Haori, the black and white mask, and the mocking smile.
"Then it seems that my analysis report should not be handed in."
Kurotsuchi Mayuri was playing with a stack of documents in his hands, and seemed to have a tendency to throw them into the flames.
"Come, let me see!"
A deep and majestic voice sounded from among the captains.
Although Kurotsuchi Mayuri's behavior does not violate the Soul Society's regulations, it is indeed trampling on the dignity of the Soul Society.
"Hey, Chief, don't be too emotional."
Kurotsuchi Mayuri handed over the report from the The Shinigami Research and Development Institute.
To be frank, although he had been prepared for a long time in his heart, when he saw the flames that dyed the sky red, he was still a little dazed.
Shendu had just gone out for a trip, and he did something big enough to shock the entire Soul Society.
The Total Death of Central 46
It is definitely enough to leave a very strong mark in the history of the Soul Society.
There is no doubt about this.
The analysis report from the Research Institute had no problems at all.
Even if Urahara Kisuke came, he couldn't find anything unusual.
This matter had nothing to do with Kurotsuchi Mayuri; he just went to the human world to watch a big show.
Although he had an inseparable connection with Shendu, Kurotsuchi Mayuri did not betray the Soul Society, just doing his due duty.
In other words, Kurotsuchi Mayuri did not think he had betrayed the Soul Society.
For a crazy existence like him, his personal thoughts are often extremely contradictory.
Yamamoto Genryusai glanced at the document hastily, then handed it to Kyoraku Shunsui beside him.
He was not a professional scientific researcher, and those complicated technical terms above were like a book.
Ryūjin Jakka was pulled out, and the more terrifying flames instantly permeated the entire underground chamber, suppressing the original flames in just an instant.
The temperature in the air was rising.
The weaker Shinigami team members were already soaked in sweat.
Without the flames supported by Shendu Reiatsu, it was naturally incomparable to Yamamoto Genryusai's Ryūjin Jakka.
Accompanied by Yamamoto Genryusai completely extinguishing the flame, all that was left in the underground meeting hall was pale, and everything had been burned to ashes.
Central 46 and ashes were mixed in everything, making it impossible to tell which group was them.
"Bury them."
Yamamoto Genryuzai's dignified voice was transmitted among the captains.
"Also, there will be a leaders' meeting."
"The old man is waiting for you in the conference room of the first team building!"
The remaining captains looked at each other in blank dismay. From their eyes and expressions, they couldn't see the slightest bit of sadness that he should have.
There were very few guys like Kyoraku Shunsui who even gloat.
Obviously, for this gift from Shendu, they were quite satisfied.
Central 46 was undoubtedly the biggest cancer for the captains.
Many of them were quite displeased with them.
If it weren't for Yamamoto Genryusai's persistence in the old school, perhaps Central 46 would have been wiped out by some extreme characters.
"What a great event for the Soul Society!"
Kurotsuchi Mayuri made no secret of his distaste for Central 46.
"I really want to thank the existence that has done such a great thing, everyone!"
After that, he swaggered toward the direction of the first team's building.
What happened next had nothing to do with him.
Kyoraku Shunsui shook his head, let out a breath, and looked at the underground meeting hall that had been completely reduced to ruins.
"Collect and see if there is any useful information left."
"Then... bury them right there."
The Captain's Meeting
The captain's meeting didn't last too long and revolved around three main topics:
Hollows who can hide their own Reiatsu, and Vasto Lorde in human form in the soul burial practice.
The major mistakes made by the Research Institute of the Technology Development Bureau, which put the freshmen of the Spiritual Art Academy into a life-and-death crisis.
The monstrous fire in the underground chamber and the destruction of Central 46.
Any one of these things was enough to be recorded in the annals of Soul Society.
However, when the captains discussed, they unexpectedly discovered that the fundamental power of the humanoid Vasto Lorde was flame.
