"The management rights of Soul Society?!"
"Captain Kyōraku, you're not joking, are you?"
"Hey! Are you serious?"
As expected, Tōshirō and the others were startled by this matter, their faces showing expressions of surprise.
"Of course I'm serious."
Shunsui sighed, "Transferring the management rights is better than the Gotei 13 being completely annihilated and letting Aizen and the Wandenreich reach the Soul King Palace."
"I agree with that."
Unohana nodded slightly, then changed the subject and asked another question.
"Captain Kyōraku, does the Captain Commander know about your transaction with the Underworld Devils?"
"Of course the old man knows, but he neither agreed nor objected, he just kicked Ukitake out."
Shunsui recounted the sequence of events.
As the administrator of Soul Society and the spiritual symbol of the Gotei 13, Yamamoto naturally did not agree to trade with Tatsuma and transfer the management rights of Soul Society.
However, the fact that he didn't explicitly refuse the matter could be seen as tacit approval to some extent. It was precisely because of this that Shunsui agreed to the conditions of Tatsuma and Sirzechs and signed the contract.
"If Captain Unohana doesn't believe me, you can wait for the old man to wake up and ask him yourself."
"I trust Captain Kyōraku." Unohana chuckled lightly and disappeared from her spot.
The battle was over, and she had to go treat the patients.
As for the first patient, it was naturally Yamamoto, who had collapsed unconscious in the suburbs after being defeated by Aizen.
Watching Unohana disappear, Shunsui breathed a sigh of relief. Communicating with this senior veteran was quite stressful in every sense of the word.
Withdrawing his gaze, Shunsui looked towards the two pieces of flesh and blood that were slowly regenerating and merging not far away.
"I didn't expect him to survive after being hit by that kind of attack. Aizen's vitality is really tenacious."
Tatsuma arrived in front of the regenerating Aizen. "Although it was a powerful attack, its essence was just an amplified slash. Against an enemy with a resilient mind and immortality, the effect was indeed a bit lacking."
Perhaps having completed a further upgrade, the power of the hōgyoku had completely merged into Aizen's body. Even though his outer shell was shattered, Aizen still retained sufficiently strong immortality.
Absorbing the Reiatsu in the air, the remaining fragments of flesh and blood continuously merged and regenerated.
Staring at this mass of flesh and blood for two seconds, Tatsuma summoned a ball of Power of Destruction and smashed it down.
In the face of pure destruction, even the strongest regeneration ability has its limits. A few seconds later, Aizen completely perished.
[Congratulations on successfully defeating Sōsuke Aizen, you have obtained the Gold Trait: Hōgyoku.]
[Hōgyoku (Gold): Greatly increases the host's immortality and grants their wish if the host or target meets the conditions.]
Hōgyoku, that's not bad.
Although the increase in immortality was useless to him, the effect of developing potential was real.
Glancing at another hōgyoku trait in his inventory, a thoughtful look appeared in Tatsuma's eyes.
Perhaps upgrading the hōgyoku trait to the Rainbow level was also a suitable choice.
Of course, thinking too much about it now was useless. By the time he gathered the materials for the next Rainbow trait, he might have a more suitable trait to upgrade in his hands.
"I thought you would spare Aizen's life."
On the other side, seeing Tatsuma deal with Aizen without hesitation, a hint of surprise flashed in Shunsui's eyes.
"For you, keeping him alive should be of greater value, right?"
Tatsuma said, "He attacked Grayfia. I don't have the habit of showing mercy to enemies."
"So you're that type of person."
Shunsui thoughtfully stroked his chin, then looked into the distance.
Although Aizen was dead, Ichimaru and Kaname, who were his accomplices, were not yet dead.
In addition, on the Sternritter side, several strong and lucky Quincy had also survived.
"How do you plan to deal with those guys?"
"First, lock them in cells. If they are willing to serve me, they can keep their lives." Tatsuma replied.
His enemies were only Aizen and Yhwach. The others were just collateral.
If they were willing to surrender, he would gain a few more subordinates. If not, he would send them on their way together.
Leaving the aftermath work to Shunsui, Tatsuma initiated contact with Sirzechs.
"Hello, Sirzechs, can you hear me?"
"I can hear you."
"My business here is finished. According to the contract, I now have the management rights of Soul Society."
"Congratulations... Sirzechs! The eastern defense line has been breached, we need to send people to reinforce!"
Just as Sirzechs was about to congratulate him, Azazel's voice suddenly rang out on the other end of the communication.
"Azazel, could I trouble you to go? I'll send people to reinforce later."
"Okay, hurry up!"
With a bang, Azazel's urgent voice disappeared from the communication.
Seeing this, Tatsuma raised an eyebrow, sensing the scent of farming traits.
"What happened in the Underworld? Was there any accident while I was away?"
"About four hours ago, members of the Khaos Brigade's Hero Faction and Old Satan Faction came out in full force and simultaneously launched attacks on different areas of the Underworld."
"Four hours ago? That's quite a coincidence." A playful smile appeared on Tatsuma's face.
To be safe, he had arrived in Soul Society half a day before the execution began. In other words, basically, as soon as he left the Underworld, the Khaos Brigade launched their general offensive.
"They deliberately chose the time I left to cause trouble, they must have some purpose, have you investigated clearly?"
"We are still investigating."
"I understand, then wait for me."
Tatsuma hung up the communication.
Although he didn't know Cao Cao's purpose, since the other party was delivering heads to his doorstep, he still had to farm the traits he needed to farm.
After greeting Shunsui, Tatsuma used magic to directly teleport to Sirzechs's office.
"Give me a copy of the intel, I need the enemy's coordinates."
"Just a moment."
Sirzechs used magic to share the current situation and the enemy's distribution.
However, just as Tatsuma was about to create a physical clone, a dinging sound rang out on the desk.
Sirzechs glanced at it, frowning. "It's Rias's contact."
As he spoke, he pressed the answer button.
The next moment, Rias's image appeared in the office, her expression serious.
However, just as she was about to speak, her peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of Tatsuma behind Sirzechs.
"Tatsuma! So you were with my brother!"
"Yeah, I just went on a business trip to handle some matters."
Tatsuma walked to the projection and said, "Contacting Sirzechs at this time, is there a problem with the Gremory territory's defense line?"
Rias said, "No, the situation in the Gremory territory is still okay, the Khaos Brigade's offensive has been blocked, but Asia and Yahweh are missing."
Tatsuma asked, "Missing?"
Rias replied, "Not long ago, in order to repel the Khaos Brigade, I took Asia and the others to the border of the Gremory territory and split into several small teams to fight."
"Originally, everything was going smoothly, but about half an hour ago, Yahweh and Asia suddenly lost contact. We sent people to search and only found a letter."
As she spoke, Rias took out a piece of parchment and held the front towards the screen.
[Rias, please inform Tatsuma for me, the bet is about to begin — Yahweh.]
"The bet?"
Glancing at the short content on the parchment, Sirzechs turned his head to look aside.
"Tatsuma, is this some kind of code?"
Tatsuma shook his head. "It's not a code, it's a bet in the literal sense."
Rias pressed, "What is the content of the bet?"
Tatsuma said, "Whether I can defeat the Dragon Eater."
Rias was stunned. "Dragon Eater?"
Tatsuma pointed to the ground and said, "It's the Dragon Eater sealed in the bottom layer of the Underworld, guarded by Hades."
Rias: "?"
Sirzechs: "?"
The Gremory siblings fell silent simultaneously.
