Happy New Year! Here's to an incredible start to 2024, filled with happiness, good health, and successful endeavors.

Isane paused in her attempt to heal Aizen. Golden threads formed around his vicious wound. The wounds closed right before her eyes, seemingly faster than the regeneration of Kaido.
“What…?” She blinked her eyes at yet another twist in a night brimming with them. Only then did she find the golden strings of the tree were connected to Aizen’s back. ...

The Divine Tree of Samsara enacted laws from the ‘Original World’ from millions of years ago. Those who were connected to it were granted immortality, as long as they possessed Reiatsu. Any wounds they sustained would heal instantly, but at the expense of their Reiatsu.
The ability would be worthless without the true power of the tree — creating a domain where he ruled over the life and death of everyone and everything. Those who possessed no Reiatsu would have no resistance to th...

Kazuya dreaded the day he’d have to face Aizen but he always took comfort in knowing that the day wouldn’t come for at least fifty years. His prediction turned out wrong. Extremely wrong. But he didn’t feel like he’d lose in a straight-up battle. In fact, he felt an overwhelming sense of confidence burning within him.
After all, he had every bit of information on Aizen’s abilities, but Aizen knew nothing about him. He held a massive advantage over Aizen.
{I’m stoked, P...

It required immense self-control for Kazuya to finally utilize the gender-changing feature of his System. Now, he could step into the biggest fight and use his Hollow powers without anyone being able to link him to his Shinigami identity. The only traits he retained from 'Kazuya' were a captivating voice and silver locks.
The only concern left now was Aizen, who had utterly dominated the battle with Kisuke. The perverted shopkeeper had backup plans prepared for everything except for Aiz...

Kisuke had run countless experiments in an attempt to counter Aizen’s Shikai ability, but every idea met a dead end. No device or technique could help him when his senses were fed false information on all fronts. However, he knew the sight before him was no illusion.

A/N: Well, my older brother got engaged yesterday. What a stressful but exciting day for everyone involved. The ceremony is in two months.

Renji Abarai was grappling with a day that defied all his expectations of reality. What had started as an ordinary field trip with his classmates had spiraled into an extraordinary crisis, plunging him deeper and deeper into unimaginable dangers. The shock of facing a powerful Hollow in battle, narrowly escaping death, had barely settled in...

The man Isane was healing began coughing violently. He vomited a gooey white liquid that eerily drifted to cover his face, taking the form of a Hollow-like mask. A deep, guttural roar, more akin to a beast than a man, escaped his throat.
Isane stepped back in horror, unable to comprehend the transformation. She had never seen or heard about the concept of ‘Hollowification’.
The Shinigami, now almost resembling a Hollow, lunged at her with a feral aggression. Abandoning his swo...

Isane felt her heart sink as she stepped through the Senkaimon. The sight of blood-stained grounds and the tumultuous waves of spiritual energy churning through the air repulsed her. She had prayed for everyone’s safety when they traversed the Senkaimon, but that hope crumbled in mere moments — Rangiku and Nanao’s Reiatsu had vanished from the face of the earth. Being so familiar with the two, she could’ve sensed her friends’ Reiatsu for an upward of a dozen miles.

Zommari clearly remembered the plan, which was quite easy to follow. He also knew that Kazuya was meant to engage Ulquiorra during their part in the power plant. To defeat Ulquiorra, who was currently the strongest Espada, in a short period proved Kazuya’s strength. Understanding the limits of his own abilities, Zommari harbored no illusions of defeating Kazuya in a direct combat.
However, his Resurrección could massively shift tides in his favor.
He stretched his palm towards ...

Kazuya didn’t break through Ggio’s Hierro defense with the head-bashing, which he never intended in the first place. He continuously smashed Arrancar’s head against the wall purely to vent his mounting frustration. The anger was directed at Espada and… himself for trusting in Visored to assist Shinigami during the crisis. He had sent Sung-Sun to request Visored’s help, but they deliberately turned a blind eye to the matter.
{Ungrateful bastards. And where did Yoruichi go?}

Aizen had put extra effort into enhancing Ulquiorra with Hōgyoku. As the strongest Vasto Lorde and a key figure in the Arrancar Project, Ulquiorra, the last Original Hollow, enjoyed privileges that set him apart. Only a day prior, Gin Ichimaru might have staked everything on Ulquiorra’s victory against a Shin’o Academy novice like Kazuya. Yet, today unfolded with startling revelations: Kazuya Ishihara toyed with Ulquiorra, baiting the Vasto Lorde into an explosive blast. Without his extr...

Ulquiorra curiously watched Kazuya release his Shikai. Despite the astonishing process, the endresults left him underwhelmed. He pointed a finger at Kazuya, his eyes the embodiment of apathy. “Cero.”
At the tip of his finger, a flickering green light revealed the imminent release of his destructive energy. In an instant, a massive beam shot forth. Kazuya simply brought his Enmyaku together and formed a shield. The fiery shield absorbed the devastating Cero that threatened to consume...

Izumi jolted awake, her heart pounding in her chest as she stared at the ceiling. “Otouto’s spiritual energy…”
Even though the Quincy were not known for their acute spiritual senses compared to Shinigami, Izumi had a deep, almost instinctual recognition of Kazuya’s Reiatsu. She would never mistake his Reiatsu for someone else.
‘He is fighting something. A Hollow or a Shinigami?’ She pondered, her brow furrowing. Ultimately, the opponent mattered little. The ...

Meanwhile, Kazuya’s dearest black cat, Yoruichi, observed the four beings emanating the dual-natured Reiatsu of Shinigami and Hollow. She had anticipated trouble from Hollows, but an ambush by high-level Arrancars, especially those aligned with Aizen, was beyond anyone's predictions. The evidence was clear in the intricate high-class barrier spell shrouding the power plant zone — a Kidō spell ...

Sometime earlier.
As twilight embraced Karakura Town, Rangiku found herself perched atop the towering power station, her gaze sweeping over the urban expanse. The city, awash in the glow of night lights, presented a sight of mundane beauty, a stark contrast to the ancientness of Seireitei. It wasn’t just the scenery that captivated her; the fruity sake she sipped added an extra layer of sweetness to the moment.
Of course she didn’t come here just to drink. She’d never slack ...

Kazuya meandered through the quiet, almost contemplative streets of Karakura Town with Momo on his side. He couldn’t help but reflect on the recent incident. He’d harbored this belief, a somewhat naïve one in retrospect, that Aizen wouldn’t directly target any Captain until the eve of his grand plan. But today, Aizen acted far more viciously compared to the canon event of him testing out his Hollows.
After dissecting through many theories, he arrived at two reasons. The first, th...

Chapter 171: The Field Trip (II)
Guided by Shūhei Hisagi and Hotaru Kanisawa, Kazuya passed by many sections, each echoing the ensuing clash between students and dummy Hollows. Over half of the students in Class 1 struggled against the weakest of constructed Hollows, a given for students with a few months of training.
‘At least Renji is doing fine.’

Prior to the field trip, students were tasked with drawing lots. A trio would be formed by students of matching numbers. Kazuya was familiar with the rules, but most of Class 1 drew their lots without a clue. He, of course, didn’t keep his group in the dark.
Luck seemed to favor Kazuya and Toshiro as they ended up in the same group. On the other hand, Momo and Renji, with their mismatched numbers, found themselves separated into different groups.
Toshiro couldn’t help but shoo...

Nestled comfortably beneath the sprawling branches of an old tree, Shunsui Kyoraku, the Captain of the 12th Squad, was indulging in one of his favorite pastimes — a leisurely nap. The day was pleasantly uneventful, a welcome respite from the usual hustle of Soul Society, allowing him to relax after enjoying a couple of cups of sake.
Tap. Tap. Tap. A series of steady footsteps gently intruded upon his serene moment. It was a sound he knew well — the stride of his diligent Vice-Captai...

Kazuya lounged comfortably on the bed, masterfully playing the part of an oblivious observer to Momo’s probing glances. Her fierce clash with Nanao was akin to a confession, yet he acted as if nothing of sorts took place. His deliberate ignorance was nothing but pure torture to the young maiden sitting by his side, who expected a reward for her ‘performance.’
“Kazuya-kun…” Momo whispered, voice trailing in a display of absentmindedness. “Did I go too far with Ise-san?”

Upon opening the door, Kazuya was met with the gaze of three pairs of eyes. Nanao Ise’s presence in the room didn’t surprise him in the least. He expected her to pop up any day since she had handled the dormitory destruction incident with her Captain.

Despite having walked away from the Kuchiki Manor half an hour ago, the heartfelt words of gratitude from Byakuya and Hisana still echoed in Kazuya’s mind. The image of Hisana tearing up, embracing Byakuya, and repeatedly professing her love for him remained just as vivid; it was mostly because of the wetness on his shoulder — Rukia had held back her tears in front of Hisana but ended up crying on their way back.
By the time he neared the academy, Rukia had recovered from her storm ...

As Tosen stepped into Aizen’s room, the soft sound of pages turning reached his ears. He found the Captain engrossed in a book. No Shinigami would dare think of Aizen as the man plotting to overthrow the ‘God’ and change the very foundations of this realm.
Aizen closed the book with a gentle thud, his smile warm but with a hint of calculation in his eyes. “Tosen, how did the search go?”
“We could not find Vasto Lorde, Aizen-sama,” he admitted, shaking his head slight...

The Shin’o Academy has a long history filled with crazy moments, and this year was shaping up to be the craziest among them. A certain student had gained quite a reputation for going head-to-head with the Captain of the 2nd Squad, an event that still echoed through the corridors in hushed, awe-stricken tones. This same student was also responsible for the dramatic collapse of the student dormitory, a topic that had become the talk of the town among both students and faculty.

At Kazuya’s solemn words, Byakuya’s stride came to an abrupt halt. He whirled around, his sharp gaze landing on Kazuya, a man who until now had maintained a confrontational stance towards him. “How did you find that?””
“People don’t simply weaken at her age without reason,” Kazuya replied, leaning nonchalantly against the bridge’s railing. Below, the water in the pool mirrored the serene sky, a stark contrast to Byakuya’s curre...
