Chapter 60 - Chapter 60: Aizen Sōsuke

After much effort, Inuyasha finally broke free from the Six-Rod Light Restraint.

"Kikyo…"

Inuyasha sniffed back and forth with his nose, but he couldn't smell Kikyo at all.

"Oh, right, Kagome!"

Inuyasha, realizing belatedly, quickly ran to find Kagome.

"Inuyasha…" Hearing the call, Kagome slowly opened her eyes, her face showing an indescribable weariness.

"That's great, Kagome is awake." Shippo, who had been pacing anxiously, jumped up excitedly when he saw Kagome awake.

"Kagome, are you alright? Is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable?" Kaede also spoke, her voice filled with worry.

"No, not at all."

Kagome struggled to sit up, covering her forehead with her hand for a moment, and then murmured,

"Many memories have been added to my mind."

"Are they Kikyo's memories?" Kaede pressed.

From the situation just now, Kagome's soul returned to her body, and due to the reincarnation, she might have gained some memories from Kikyo's resentment.

"There's no information related to her, just a lot of spell formulas and methods for using spiritual power."

"It's as if someone deliberately put these things into my mind."

Kagome didn't say who that "someone" was, but everyone implicitly guessed.

Most likely, it was Kikyo.

But why would Kikyo do that?

Kagome's words made everyone present look at each other.

After much discussion, they couldn't find an answer and could only leave for now.

At this moment, Kikyo was suspended high in the sky.

A faint barrier enveloped her, concealing her presence.

She gazed down below with a wistful look.

Only after Inuyasha and his group left did she let out a sigh of relief.

She manipulated the barrier to descend to the ground.

Upon landing, Kikyo stumbled, almost losing her balance and falling to the ground.

In the Chat Group, the live broadcast continued.

Many group members could see Kikyo's weakened state.

[Asakura Hao: "@Kikyo, you really are reckless. As a deceased person, to link with a living person's soul, and you and that girl named Kagome are also in a reincarnated relationship, are you really not afraid of your own soul being drained?"]

[Kikyo: "I only do what I think I should do. It's a farewell to 50 years ago."]

Kikyo found a tree to lean against, sitting on the ground, her breathing slightly heavier.

Shaman King World.

Asakura Hao stood on Fire Spirit's shoulder, looking at the Chat Group content, and smiled softly:

"Her stubborn personality is somewhat similar to Anna Kyoyama."

God of Destruction Realm.

Beryl was also watching the live broadcast, and compared to the others, she watched more meticulously.

Kikyo's first arrow attacking Inuyasha was a purifying arrow.

It was aimed at his feet, clearly giving Inuyasha a chance to dodge.

The second arrow was a sealing arrow, which was blocked by Inuyasha's Tessaiga.

As for Kikyo saying, "I'm not used to it, it missed," when she shot the first arrow, it was entirely to fool Inuyasha.

"You said you would sever the past, yet you still passed on your past spell formulas to Kagome through soul fusion. I have to say, you are truly daring."

Just as Asakura Hao said, if Kikyo hadn't severed her link with Kagome in time, it might not have just been an injury, but her entire soul might have been devoured by Kagome's soul.

The soul of a living person is more capable of devouring than the soul of a deceased person.

Moreover, the similarity in soul frequency between Kikyo and Kagome, to some extent, was even closer than that of twins.

Kikyo was still too kind.

At this moment, Soul Society.

Aizen Sōsuke stood outside the squad barracks, a pair of black-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, coupled with his broad captain's haori, giving him the appearance of an honest man.

The images from the Chat Group were all captured in the eyes of this "kind-looking" Captain.

"An interesting soul. With a semi-spiritual body, she can cast Bakudo number sixty or higher without incantation."

"I wonder what level she will reach once she completely abandons that broken body. It's truly something to look forward to."

"However, since the worlds are different, there probably won't be something like a Zanpakuto."

Weapons related to the soul might be connected to her preferred bow and arrow.

Of course, it's also possible that nothing will happen.

Aizen Sōsuke didn't care about such matters anyway; Kikyo using Kidō could be considered a completion of one of his experiments.

Aizen was currently more interested in Inuyasha and that strange demonic sword.

"The demons in that world, in some sense, are somewhat similar to Hollows. It would be great if I could capture a few to observe. I wonder if such an opportunity will arise in the future."

Aizen looked at the Hōgyoku in his hand, his fingertips toying with it slightly.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want his data to be collected by the Dragon Balls, he might have used the Dragon Balls to wish for the Hōgyoku's perfection.

From the Group Leader's past words, Aizen Sōsuke was well aware that wishing with the Dragon Balls was very likely the Dragon collecting laws from various worlds.

Therefore, to avoid some uncertain factors,

Although Aizen Sōsuke had gathered enough points to use the Dragon Balls, he had no intention of using them immediately.

"Captain Aizen, Captain Aizen!"

Tap, tap-tap-tap.

A girl with a bun hairstyle, dressed in a shihakushō and wooden clogs, ran over from a distance.

Aizen casually hooked his hand, hiding the Hōgyoku within his clothes.

"Is something the matter, Vice-Captain Hinamori?" Aizen revealed a kind and amiable smile.

"Hoo—hooh, Captain, Captain Ichimaru Gin of the Third Division said he had something to tell you, but he didn't say what it was."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Aizen gently pressed his hand on Hinamori Momo's bun-like black hair,

"What are you worried about, Vice-Captain Hinamori?"

"I…"

Hinamori Momo hesitated for a moment, then said, "The Captain of the Third Division, he gives off a very bad feeling, like a cold, venomous snake. You must be careful when you meet him."

Although such words shouldn't be said, especially not by her, a Vice Captain, in front of her Captain, Hinamori Momo chose to trust him.

"It's alright. We are all Captains. Captain Ichimaru Gin isn't that scary."

"Oh dear, how troublesome. I seem to have heard some unpleasant words."

A slightly sharp voice sounded, the calm tone seeming to carry a hint of anger.

At this moment, Captain Ichimaru Gin of the Third Division, wearing a captain's haori, walked into the squad barracks.

"Captain… Captain Ichimaru Gin." Hinamori Momo was a little flustered, "Why did you come in without waiting for an announcement?"

At this moment, Hinamori Momo looked as if she had a guilty conscience.

Aizen patted Hinamori Momo's shoulder, then stepped forward, shielding her behind him.

"Captain Ichimaru Gin, isn't it a bit improper to enter another division's squad barracks without permission?" Aizen said, pushing up his glasses.

"Oh dear, not at all, I was just in a hurry," Ichimaru Gin said nonchalantly, squinting his eyes, he observed Hinamori Momo for a moment, then turned his gaze back to Aizen.

"Captain-Commander informed us to go to the Shin'ō Academy today to instruct the students. Captain Aizen, you haven't forgotten, have you?"

"However, your Vice Captain, slandering a Captain so casually, is a serious offense, you know."

"Captain Ichimaru Gin, that's not fair to say. After all, your face, no matter who looks at it, doesn't look like a good person."

"Uh…" Upon hearing Aizen's words, Ichimaru Gin's face stiffened for a moment.

He really wanted to blurt out, "And you look like a good person?"

I don't look like one, but you really aren't.

Playing with the emotions of your Vice Captain, and still making her grateful to you.

You're truly a scoundrel.

Especially Hinamori Momo, who was currently shielded and protected by Aizen, her eyes sparkling.

Ichimaru Gin felt that this child was truly pitiful, wondering if she would be able to survive without Aizen in the future.

"Captain Aizen, why don't we go over first? It's not good to keep the academy students waiting." Fearing he might be unable to resist drawing his Zanpakuto and stabbing Aizen in the chest, Ichimaru Gin forced a smile onto his face.

"Alright, but you can't hold my vice-captain accountable anymore, okay?" Aizen added.

Upon hearing this, Ichimaru Gin's eye twitched.

"Yes, yes, after all, she is your adorable Vice Captain, and I am not a petty person."

Afterwards, Aizen Sōsuke and Ichimaru Gin walked out of the squad barracks.

Before leaving, Aizen also repeatedly told Hinamori Momo not to worry, and that no matter what happened, he would protect her.

After walking out of the squad barracks, Ichimaru Gin glanced at Aizen Sōsuke beside him.

"Captain Aizen, do you truly think highly of your Vice Captain?"

"What does it matter, Gin? I am merely responding to that child's aspirations. After all, there isn't much time left, so let this beautiful dream last a little longer. There's no need to break it now."

Aizen looked up at the sky, then replied leisurely.

"Is that so? Then you are truly kind." Ichimaru Gin said with a wide grin.
