Playing With Other Supernaturals

Kisuke invited Aizen inside to meet the rest, "Hooh... What a fun assortment of people. To think we'd all come together like this for a discussion, I would have never expected it in a thousand years."

"Want to make it ten thousand years?" Ouetsu replied back with a smirk on his face, not backing down from the Reiatsu Aizen was releasing.

'There are more surprises?' Everyone thought to themselves when they heard Ouetsu's words, "I felt his arrival earlier. I thought you might as well let him in since he's here.", Ouetsu added to Kisuke.

Kisuke thought about it for a moment before nodding, "Alright. He can't come up but I can set up a remote connection. He's probably seeing all of this anyways."

Mayuri and Aizen knew what happened when the worlds started collapsing earlier so they immediately had an idea who Kisuke was referring to, "Now, I never really expected this in ten thousand years." The latter commented with a hearty laugh while also reeling in his Reiatsu that was already hurting the small Nemu despite multiple people blocking his Reiatsu for her.

The group arrived at the conference room and Kisuke offered each of them a seat while also typing on the keyboard present on the head of the table. A few seconds later, a holographic screen appeared in the middle of the table depicting a man without his lower body, suspended in half an inch of wires.

"How gracious of you to include me in this little gathering." Yhwach opened his mouth before slowly opening his eyes that has now returned to normal, signifying that his [Almighty] had been deactivated, "This is also a rather interesting seal. You really do know a lot of tricks, Urahara Kisuke."

"The basis of that seal was thanks to a certain broke Valkyrie. I only modified it a bit to suit my needs." Kisuke just shrugged his shoulders after a short answer and took a seat.

Tenjirou and Senjumaru's eyes widened and both of them were shaken by his appearance, "...So you really did it. I was suspicious of your claims but to think that you were able to stabilize the worlds without him...", muttered the former. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Senjumaru's gaze, on the other hand, became attracted to Ophis, "After witnessing all that's happening, this is actually not the most surprising thing."

Tenjirou scratched his head in frustration but he agreed with Senjumaru, "Haah... Right. Now then, tell us how we'll deal with those worms or maggots as you refer to them... No. More importantly, what is Hyousube Ichibei?"

Kisuke paused for a moment to arrange his thoughts. With all eyes on him, he started, "Before I answer that, knowing what Hell really is would give everyone a bit of context."

"I've iterated it multiple times already, but I call those insects maggots for the sole reason that they've been chewing on a dead body."

At that moment, someone instantly clicked within everyone's mind, except for Ophis and Nemu who were just passively listening of course.

"...No... It can't be... But that also explains my weird findings." Mayuri went into his own world and started muttering to himself.

"So that's why you've been calling them maggots." Tenjirou also muttered while rubbing his temples, "But setting aside how ridiculous this idea is and how is that possible considering how wide the Hell is... What's Ichibei's connection with all of this?"

"To be honest, I'm not so sure either. Though I suspected his connection with Hell from early on, it's only after meeting the last remnants of the Soul King's consciousness that I managed to put together some pieces." Kisuke then proceeded to tell them what he heard from the Soul King when he last appeared and what transpired within Hell before Tenjirou and Senjumaru arrived.

"...Something like that happened?" Senjumaru asked, incredibly bothered. Although Kisuke showed no proof of his claims, she weighed a few things in her head and concluded that there was no reason for him to lie at this point in time because any dishonesty on his part would explode in his face later on with the current members of this meeting.

"So that's why he asked us to follow at a later time... If he eliminates the evidence, there's no point in questioning him." Tenjirou clenched his fist and started questioning what they had been doing all this time.

Aizen, on the other hand, was amused by Kisuke's story as he turned towards Ophis with a smile, "Too bad for him, there's a monster waiting to trip his feet." His eyes returned to Kisuke and asked, "And you used that chance to snatch the guy hanged up in the most glorified of torture chambers? I also saw those Dragons pile up in the palace. Did they replace him?"

Kisuke nodded, "Flanna led them and replaced the Garganta with that 'strange' chaotic space."

"Wait... Wouldn't that mean the travel between worlds has stopped?" Tenjirou asked.

"No need to worry about that. I'm sure Kurotsuchi-san here already thought of a way to circumvent that."

Mayuri was deep in thought but stopped when his name was mentioned, "I knew that Garganta and Dangai-based travel may become obsolete. So using the Teleportation Magic as a base, I modified both the Senkaimon and Descorrer to directly connect two places and speed things along. It also stopped the former's need for a Hell Butterfly for guidance considering that they're an unknown risk.

"The moment the 12th Division notices that the travel between worlds using conventional methods is stopped, Akon will step in and implement the changes immediately so there's no need to be worried about isolation."

"And now that that's out of the way, let's return to the question of 'What is Hyousube Ichibei?'" Kisuke pushed the conversation forward, "You probably already came to the same conclusion as me and that is Hyousube-san was probably the 'being' that the Soul King was referring to. A 'being' that shouldn't have been born in the first place.

"I have reason to suspect that the 'dead body', which is Hell now, was the physical body that the [Soul King] had discarded for some reason. However, these transcendents don't work on normal logic so even if it's just an inanimate body, it still holds a tremendous power. If we tie Hyousube-san's existence to that physical body, I can think of two possibilities in regard to his true identity.

"First is that he's a being that manifested from the remaining power of the body and gained his own consciousness and body.

"Second is that he's one of those maggots that kept eating the corpse and gained power and consciousness from doing so."
