Chapter 341
2-in-1 chapter:
---------------------------
Under Senna’s wary gaze, Kaelith Yurei strode forward.
The two of them stood in midair with no obstacles between them.
Though she didn’t know how strong Kaelith was, Senna’s instincts told her this man was not easy to deal with.
Thinking quickly, she decided to flee.
At the pace he was walking—more like taking a stroll—shaking him off should be child’s play.
Senna turned, used Shunpo, and in seconds had darted several hundred ters away.
She smiled, turned to glance back—
Then frowned slightly.
Was it her imagination, or had he not only failed to fall behind but actually drawn closer?
Seeing Kaelith smiling calmly as he continued his leisurely pace, Senna tilted her head.
Probably just an illusion—without any points of reference in midair, it was easy to misjudge distances.
With that thought, she accelerated, Shunpo’d another few hundred ters, and looked back again.
This ti, her heart sank.
It wasn’t an illusion!
He was even closer!
A wave of tension gripped Senna.
Her Shunpo was fast—so how was he closing the gap?
She turned her back to him, then suddenly spun around.
Kaelith was closer still.
“?!”
Senna’s eyes widened.
Panic gripping her, she whirled around again and then quickly spun back—
Only to find Kaelith’s face not even ten centiters away, smiling at her.
“Here’s Johnny!!”
“Eeeeyaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!”
Far away, Ulquiorra listened to the despairing scream, expressionless.
Just another peaceful day.
……
Aizen Sōsuke walked along the streets of Seireitei.
Kaelith had just sent word: get to the World of the Living imdiately—he had important intel.
Aizen was half-convinced.
On the one hand, Kaelith was indeed good at stirring up trouble and often created big headlines.
On the other, there was Kaelith’s... character.
One ti, while Aizen was handling a critical experint, Kaelith had ssaged him urgently: big event, co to Squad Eleven at once.
Concerned, Aizen had dropped everything and rushed over.
Turned out the “big event” was... they needed a fourth player for cards.
He’d exercised all his self-restraint not to draw his sword and cut Kaelith down on the spot.
Recalling that incident, Aizen’s face darkened.
If Kaelith pulled sothing similar again, he’d make sure Kaelith learned what it ant to anger a scientist and cry wolf.
As usual, Aizen didn’t use a Senkaimon. Instead, he accessed a secret lab that masked spiritual pressure and used Garganta to reach the World of the Living.
Senkaimon, no matter how hidden, was too easily monitored by the Soul Society.
Upon arrival, Aizen checked Kaelith’s location on his tablet and hurried over.
The signal pointed to a hotel.
At the door, confirming the coordinates, he pushed inside.
He found a purple-haired girl in a high school uniform kneeling on the bed, gagged and bound.
Tears shimred in her eyes. She looked pitiful.
Kaelith sat across from her, shirtless, eying her body with amusent.
Aizen: “……”
Kaelith turned. “Yo, Sōsuke. You’re here?”
Aizen narrowed his eyes. “Kaelith Yurei, if this ‘important intel’ was just an excuse to show this, I’m leaving.”
Kaelith blinked.
Two seconds later, realization dawned.
He was furious.
First Ishida Ryūken, now Aizen—what was wrong with these people?
Was this really how they saw him?
Slander!
Defamation!
He’d have to introduce himself to so cute sisters later to soothe his wounded pride.
Irritated, he grabbed Aizen and dragged him over to Senna.
“Open your eyes and look. What do you see?”
“?”
Aizen frowned, casting a glance at the girl.
Then he released his spiritual sense and examined her.
A few seconds later, surprise flickered across his face.
“Strange…”
“Overall, she seems like an ordinary Shinigami.”
“But on closer inspection, I detect countless soul fragnts within her.”
“How can such a being exist?”
Aizen’s curiosity stirred.
He had encountered many composite souls before.
All nos were like that.
But Senna was fundantally different.
nos were composed of countless whole souls, not fragnts. A dominant will would suppress the others, eventually achieving unity—becoming an Adjuchas, and if fully unified, a Vasto Lorde.
Failure ant regressing to a Gillian.
Senna, however, was composed of soul fragnts. She possessed a singular will and wouldn’t be overtaken by others.
Instead, she carried nurous conflicting mories—fragnts from countless souls—which would eventually overwhelm her mind unless soone intervened.
Kaelith approached.
“She isn’t really a Shinigami.”
“Hmm?”
Aizen glanced over.
Was Kaelith about to explain?
Arms crossed, Kaelith said, “Sōsuke, have you ever heard of the Valley of Screams?”
Aizen pondered for a mont. “Souls detached from the cycle of rebirth, drifting through the Dangai, slowly gather into a special Reishi space known as the Valley of Screams.”
“In this space, the soul’s shells rge into a material-like substance.”
“Their mories and thoughts coalesce into another entity, becoming…”
“...I see. This girl is such a manifestation.”
“I never thought I’d witness such a phenonon firsthand.”
Kaelith stood, mouth agape.
He’d expected Aizen to have no idea about this obscure topic, giving him the chance to lecture and enjoy Aizen’s astonished, envious reaction.
But he’d only said “Valley of Screams,” and Aizen had deduced everything.
Even Senna’s exact nature!
Kaelith swayed, staggered back a few steps, and flopped into a chair, turning to ash.
Aizen stood calmly, watching.
Unbeknownst to Kaelith, a slight smirk curled Aizen’s lips.
Truthfully, Aizen had only read about the Valley of Screams once, long ago, and hadn’t rembered much.
But to stop Kaelith from showing off, he’d racked his mory and recited the information as if it were second nature.
Luckily, his mory hadn’t failed him.
He’d successfully made Kaelith shut down.
Very satisfying.
anwhile, Senna struggled to push the gag out of her mouth.
She glared at the two n.
“What were you two just talking about?!”
“I am a Shinigami! A genuine Shinigami!”
Aizen glanced at her but didn’t answer.
In his mind, her fate was either to beco his experint or Kaelith’s plaything. Either way, there was no need to explain.
It was a waste of breath talking to her.
Kaelith, however, lifted his head.
“You can be considered a Shinigami—just not an official, factory-made one.”
“You heard what we said. It should be easy to verify for yourself.”
“The conflicting mories you keep experiencing—those are proof your mories are stitched together.”
He stood, pulled a shihakushō from his shadow space, put it on, and threw a haori over it.
Gotei-certified quality.
Senna, kneeling on the bed, began trying to recall her past.
No... what they’d said was nonsense.
She rembered her past clearly.
Her father was a rchant—a gentle man with a slender face who always brought her toys when he ca ho.
She’d lived in a cozy Tokyo ho…
Wait. Her father had been a plump man who lived with her and her mother in a traditional-style house.
No, he’d been a violent man who abused her mother…
Why did these mories conflict so much?
Not only in content, but even the settings were inconsistent.
So scenes were modern, with skyscrapers.
Others were run-down, with narrow streets lined only with small houses.
Senna’s pupils trembled.
Confused and desperate, she looked up.
“Who… who am I really?”
Kaelith adjusted his collar and replied lazily:
“No need to dwell on it. While you’re a collection of soul fragnts, you’ve already ford your own consciousness.”
“You’re just having mory confusion. Once you integrate all the fragnts, that will stop.”
“Many nos experience similar things when first evolving to Adjuchas.”
“If that feels too slow, I can have soone help you.”
He smiled and gestured toward Aizen.
“This guy’s an expert on souls. He’s overseen over a hundred Arrancar transformations with a survival rate over ninety percent.”
Aizen ignored him.
Senna was dumbfounded.
Her bizarre condition—these n brushed it off like it was nothing.
She asked instinctively:
“Who… what are you?”
Kaelith chuckled.
“Just a passing Shinigami.”
Senna blinked, stunned.
Aizen asked, “Kaelith, what’s the next step?”
“Send her to Yūtendō Inc. and have Ishida look after her. Then you and I are heading out.”
“Where?”
“The Dangai.”
Kaelith tilted his head slightly, eyes cool.
There was so ancient family hiding in the Dangai—he couldn’t quite recall the na.
But without a doubt, they aid to destroy the World of the Living and Soul Society.
Kaelith’s policy for such anti-social types was simple.
We only need one planet-glassing maniac. The rest? Kill them.
Aizen nodded.
He didn’t know exactly what Kaelith had in mind, but that look told him a decision had been made.
At such tis, his role was only to support.
Kaelith was about to move when he suddenly turned toward the window.
“Interesting. I haven’t gone looking for them—but they’ve co to .”
Seconds later, a figure smashed through the window with a shout.
“Hyahhh!!!”
It was a dark-skinned, muscular man wielding two crescent-shaped knuckle blades.
Amid flying glass, he spotted Senna.
“Hmph. So you were hiding here.”
He turned to Kaelith and Aizen.
“Two Shinigami… figures. Seireitei’s lapdogs. You’ve got a keen nose.”
“Too bad—you’ll die here!”
He lunged at the man who looked weaker—the bespectacled scholar.
As the blades swung toward his face, Aizen’s expression didn’t change.
At the last mont, he unleashed a burst of Reiatsu. The muscular man flew backward at several tis his incoming speed, vanishing out the window.
Aizen pushed up his glasses.
“Soone inherited a certain's brawn but not the corresponding instincts. Foolish.”
Kaelith glanced over.
That remark seed… slightly malicious.
Was it his imagination?
Aizen flash-stepped outside.
Kaelith looked at Senna, still kneeling on the bed, bound.
He smiled and snapped his fingers.
Snap!
Senna gasped—the ropes around her wrists and ankles all snapped apart.
Several spiritual blades had appeared out of thin air and sliced them clean.
Between Kaelith’s effortless capture of her, Aizen’s casual dismissal of the enemy, and now this blade technique, Senna fully grasped the gap in power.
She took a deep breath.
“What do you… want to do?”
“Haven’t decided yet. No rush.”
Kaelith grabbed the back of her collar.
“For now, let’s go butcher the traitorous scum outside!”
