Chapter 193 191 We Are Partners, Aren't We?

Chapter 193 191. We are partners, aren't we?

A few days later, the people of the real world had just celebrated the beginning of autumn, and the Soul Society, which was still a bit hot, began to cool down in the blink of an eye.

Wearing a pair of wooden clogs on his feet, making a clacking sound on the aisle, Higashino Hideichi came to the branch residence of the Tsunayashiro family.

"It seems that you have found the answer~"

Reaching out to throw bait to the carp in the pond in the courtyard, Tsunayashiro Tokinada said without even looking back.

"Do you like his Zanpakutō ability?"

Higashino Hideichi stopped not far behind Tsunayashiro Tokinada and said.

Let the cool breeze in the courtyard gently blow up his captain's haori.

"From your tone, you look down on him?

That's right. If we only look at it from the perspective of fighting, Yamada Seinosuke's Zanpakutō ability is indeed not strong. Even among the Shinigami who have mastered Bankai in the entire Soul Society, his Bankai ability is definitely the weakest. It is completely incomparable to your Bankai ability.

However, when looking at the ability of a Shinigami, sometimes we can't just look at how much he can play in the battle, right?"

Tsunayashiro Tokinada grabbed another handful of bait and threw it into the pond farther away.

"It seems that you have already made arrangements for Yamada Seinosuke, but if that's the case, why did you specifically let me discover this matter?

Don't tell me that you just want me to see that my former colleagues secretly mastered Bankai, or that you specifically let me find that disgusting place to disgust me?"

Higashino Hideichi said, looking at Tsunayashiro Tokinada's back.

"Of course not, you are the strongest card in my hand now, how could I let you do such a meaningless thing?"

Tsunayashiro Tokinada turned around, opened his arms and said to Higashino Hideichi with a smile.

"Then, you'd better give me a reasonable reason. I hope you can understand that, Mr. Tsunayashiro Tokinada, we are not really in a superior-subordinate relationship."

Higashino Hideichi's tone was cold.

Generally speaking, this approach will only make the relationship between the two people in the conversation more rigid.

But after such a long time of contact, Higashino Hideichi has basically figured out Tsunayashiro Tokinada's personality, and the latter likes a tough attitude.

"Hahaha, yes, Higashino Hideichi, we have never been superiors and subordinates, we are just partners with common ideals!

Do you remember the goal we set at the beginning?"

Sure enough, facing Higashino Hideichi's strong dissatisfaction, Tsunayashiro Tokinada not only did not show dissatisfaction, but laughed out loud.

"What do you mean?

Do you want to say that this Yamada Seinosuke can help us deal with those people in the Zero Division?"

Hideichi Higashino pretended to frown in disbelief.

"Of course not. Ten Yamada Seinosukes can't help us solve the problems of the Zero Division. But do you remember the history of Soul Society that I told you before?

The operation of the entire Soul Society is based on the body of the Soul King that was dismembered by our five noble ancestors.

And this Soul King body is not completely dead. He actually still retains the will of the original Soul King. The current Zero Division is acting according to the will of the Soul King!"

When Tsunayashiro Tokinada said this, his entire facial expression was distorted. It can be imagined that he had complex feelings about this period of history.

"So?"

Hideichi Higashino asked pretending to be confused.

"So, in order to achieve our ultimate goal, reshape this world, and return this world to its most primitive state, we must completely erase the remaining will of the Soul King!"

Tsunayashiro Tokinada looked ferocious.

Higashino Hideichi took a breath, and then after a moment of silence, he slowly asked,

"What do you want to do?"

Then, Tsunayashiro Tokinada regained his usual amusing smile, and the veins on his face faded away,

"It's very simple, make a substitute for the Soul King!"

Hearing this, Higashino Hideichi showed a shocked expression on the surface, but in fact, his heart was calm.

Because Tsunayashiro Tokinada's plan can be said to be completely beyond Higashino Hideichi's previous expectations.

This person's mind is really too easy to guess.

He really worked hard for that one goal from beginning to end, and he didn't even plan to change the process in the middle.

Higashino Hideichi even suspected that if Tsunayashiro Tokinada didn't have the identity of one of the five great nobles and ate the dividends of the war, Higashino Hideichi and Aizen wouldn't have to take action. The old bastards of the current Gotei 13, Kyoraku Shunsui, Kurotsuchi Mayuri, including Urahara Kisuke in the present world, any one of them could solve Tsunayashiro Tokinada.

Unfortunately, there is no if. In the original story, Tsunayashiro Tokinada had the right time, right place, and right people.

In the current timeline, Tsunayashiro Tokinada also had the right time, right place, and right people.

At this point in time when Aizen doesn't want Soul Society to cause any more chaos, Tsunayashiro Tokinada can really do whatever he wants as long as he can settle the mess within his family.

But this is exactly what Higano Hideichi wants.

After all, he really doesn't have too many Soul King substitutes.

And if the quality of the production is high enough, then Higano Hideichi can even ignore Aizen's thoughts in advance and go to the Shadow Empire to get rid of the unresurrected Yhwach.

You know, the reason why Higano Hideichi didn't dare to do this before was largely because he was worried that if Yhwach died in advance, he might turn himself into the monk's first candidate for Soul King.

That would be a bit of a loss.

"You mean, Yamada Seinosuke's ability can help us make a Soul King substitute?"

Higano Hideichi was surprised, but he still confirmed with Tsunayashiro Tokinada again.

This is in line with the attitude of a god of death who just knew about this kind of thing.

He could also choose to be like Yushi Oushu before, blushing and stuttering.

However, Higashino Hideichi thought about it and felt that such behavior was still somewhat inconsistent with his identity.

After all, he was a great sword hunter, and he had to save some face by killing the ruthless man of the former Hueco Mundo Lord Bylergan with his hard power.

"Surprised, right?

For a being like the Soul King, we, the Death Gods who enjoy the power of his power, can actually make his substitute with our own power. It's incredible, right?"

Tsunayashiro Tokinada enjoyed the ignorant expression on Higashino Hideichi's face. At this moment, he was the master.

"But, Xiuyi, the power of the Soul King is far less mysterious than you think."

Next, there was a long science popularization session of Tsunayashiro Tokinada.

To be honest, Higashino Hideichi wanted to sleep after listening to it, because it was all some dry hard-core knowledge points, and it was all about the principle of manufacturing. For Higashino Hideichi who didn't understand research at all and was not interested in scientific research at all, it was undoubtedly listening to a book of heaven.

If he had to make an analogy, then Higashino Hideichi felt that this period of time could be compared to his previous life in a university classroom, listening to those professors' lectures.

Anyway, he couldn't understand it.

But Tsunayashiro Tokinada was familiar with all these contents, and introduced each one in great detail, as if he really wanted to teach Higashino Hideichi.

Well, Higashino Hideichi was a little moved, and then he hoped that it would end quickly.

He could feel that Tsunayashiro Tokinada must have secretly accumulated a lot of knowledge in the past for this Soul King substitute.

This was not a difficult task for Tsunayashiro Tokinada. After all, he had the two killer weapons of the Great Spirit Book Corridor and the Hall of Imaging, plus hundreds of years of meditation. As long as Tsunayashiro Tokinada wanted, there was no knowledge in the entire Soul Society that he couldn't get.

But the sun and the moon were a testament to the fact that Higashino Hideichi was not interested in personally participating in this project.

He really wanted to tell Tsunayashiro Tokinada that not every capable Shinigami was called Aizen Sosuke.

He, Higashino Hideichi, is only good at fighting and has a higher spiritual pressure. He really knows nothing about scientific research.

Fortunately, Tsunayashiro Tokinada finally seemed to realize something and gave Higashino Hideichi a recorder invented by the Technology Development Bureau, which was actually a copy of the current technology.

Well, Higashino Hideichi admitted that when he saw this thing, the corners of his mouth twitched a little, his heart was a little ups and downs, and his hands wanted to hit someone.

If you had told him earlier that there was this thing, why did you drag him to talk for so long?

"Give this to Yamada Seinosuke. I believe he will join us after hearing this!

And you can also tell him, Shuichi, that as long as he is willing to help us make this Soul King substitute, I can guarantee that he will be the general representative (dean) of Mao Sha Yakuin!

This position is much higher than a vice-captain of the 13th Gotei Squad!

And if Yamada Seinosuke is smart enough, he should know what hidden benefits he can get by becoming the general representative of Mao Sha Yakuin!"

Tsunayashiro Tokinada said to Higashino Hideichi after Higashino Hideichi took the recorder.

"For example, we can openly conduct the previous inhumane experiments without worrying about being discovered, right?

After all, I heard that the Maou Shayakuin, which is directly under the nobles, has no right to ask any medical accidents inside, and will be handed over to the Death Guards directly under the nobles to handle"

"That was in the past. Now, these things have been handed over to you sword hunters, and you, Shuichi, will never deal with your own people, right?"

Tsunayashiro Tokinada showed a meaningful smile.

Looking at Tsunayashiro Tokinada, Higashino Shuichi could not say whether this result had been conceived in Tsunayashiro Tokinada's mind a long time ago.

A thug and a researcher, each of them performed their duties, covered each other, and perfectly carried out their ulterior motives under everyone's noses.

This is probably what Tsunayashiro Tokinada originally envisioned, right?

However, in the original plot, without Higashino Hideichi, Tsunayashiro Tokinada could never find a good thug in Soul Society, and finally had to settle for the second best and choose a Fullbringer in the real world.

"One of us?"

Looking at the recorder in his hand, Higashino Hideichi also gave Tsunayashiro Tokinada an elusive smile.

He did not ask Tsunayashiro Tokinada why this matter must be handed over to him.

Because the answer is very obvious, the current Soul Society is not like the world node where Tsunayashiro Tokinada exerted his strength in the original plot. There are high-quality materials available in Soul Society and the real world, and Aizen and Urahara Kisuke took the lead in giving Tsunayashiro Tokinada a sample and taught him how to make a standard Soul King substitute.

At this point in time, Higashino Hideichi estimated that Tsunayashiro Tokinada still thought he was the first person to come up with the concept of Soul King replacement, and an ironclad fact is that before this, no standard Soul King replacement had been born in either Soul Society or the human world.

Like Higashino Hideichi now, he can only be regarded as a half-baked Soul King replacement, that is, a defective product that will be scrapped after a few decades at most.

Therefore, whether for the sake of research progress or research materials, Tsunayashiro Tokinada could not bypass Higashino Hideichi at all. To be more precise, as Higashino Hideichi guessed a few days ago, Tsunayashiro Tokinada had his eyes on the soul transformation project on hand.

Before the Quincy Empire was exposed and Aizen had not obtained the complete Hougyoku and created a perfect Arrancar, the batch of transformed souls on hand that Higashino Hideichi was about to complete were undoubtedly the best experimental carrier materials to match Yamada Seinosuke's ability.

Just the fact that the souls of the transformed souls have human attributes and are remodelable can save a lot of trouble for the next experiment.

And this is also what Yamada Seinosuke's ability cannot do.

This is also the conclusion that Higashino Hideichi came to after checking the failed fusion products of Yamada Seinosuke in the alien space near Koizumi Izakaya.

Yamada Seinosuke's ability is just a fusion in a pure physical sense, and it can't involve the soul level at all!

This led to a conflict between the souls of the god of death and the Gillian in the hollow when he was merging them, and both were broken, and finally became irreversibly turned into a pile of waste.

In the original plot, Higashino Hideichi guessed that there were probably two reasons why Yamada Seinosuke was successful.

One is naturally the technical precedent pioneered by Urahara Kisuke;

The other is because the brain of Gremi Tome of the Quincy Stern Cross Knights was used as the core, relying on its special holy text ability, it was successful.

But now, neither of these two conditions is met.

Therefore, using the modified soul in Higashino Hideichi's hand to perform tricky operations is the best solution that Tsunayashiro Tokinada can think of, and it is also the solution with the highest success rate.

Of course, relying solely on the modified soul plus the god of death and the hollow is definitely not enough.

To become a substitute for the Soul King, the ability of the Quincy is also indispensable.

However, Higashino Hideichi feels that this kind of thing does not seem to be a difficult thing for Tsunayashiro Tokinada.

It is even possible that Tsunayashiro Tokinada will put this issue directly on the table.

After all, the Quincies in the world now are just a group of fish on the chopping board that can be killed or not for the god of death.

However, this matter has little to do with Higashino Hideichi.

If things really come to that point, it is not something that Higashino Hideichi can settle with his personal strength. At most, he can protect some Quincies that he does not want to see die.

As for now

Higashino Hideichi walked out of Tsunayashiro Tokinada's house and looked in the direction of the Fourth Division.

After all the preparations were completed, it was finally time for him to go to that place for a meeting.
