[Kumoko: "Eh? What's going on? Why are there two Hinamori Momo?"]
Kumoko, who was watching the live broadcast with great interest, felt like she couldn't keep up with the pace.
First, Aizen Sōsuke unhesitatingly stabbed Hinamori Momo, then Hinamori Momo inexplicably recovered, and then she rescued the fallen young man named Hitsugaya Tōshirō.
"But... but!"
Who was that Hinamori Momo who stabbed Aizen from behind?
At this moment, the live broadcast was divided into two screens.
On one side was Hinamori Momo fighting Aizen.
On the other side, Hinamori Momo, carrying Hitsugaya Tōshirō, used strange footwork to quickly run towards a certain destination.
Watching a live broadcast, how did it become like following a TV drama?
It even had suspense.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "You'll understand if you keep watching. I didn't expect her to use this method to break Kyōka Suigetsu's hypnosis."]
Did she really act so well that she even fooled Aizen, or was it all genuine emotion?
But, she just waited for Aizen to stab her like that, without even flinching?
Even if she knew she wouldn't die, didn't it hurt?
Or was it like Uchiha Obito, the pain of the Ten-Tails' backlash was less than one ten-thousandth of the pain of losing Rin.
With her, it became:
The pain of being stabbed through the heart is less than one ten-thousandth of the pain of losing Captain Aizen.
"Uh... I really don't know how to complain."
[Uchiha Madara: "What does Kyōka Suigetsu's hypnosis mean? Is it the ability of that Zanpakuto?"]
[Lumine: "@Uchiha Madara, aren't you recovering from your injuries? Why are you so idle?"]
[Uchiha Madara: "I'm recovering from my injuries, but that doesn't mean I can't watch the live broadcast in the group."]
[Lumine: "..."]
That makes so much sense, I'm speechless.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Just like Hyōrinmaru just now, every Shinigami usually has their own Zanpakuto, and their abilities vary greatly."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Aizen Sōsuke's Zanpakuto is hypnosis, or rather, sensory manipulation. Specific information, after this live broadcast ends, I will send the projection to the group for you to slowly watch."]
[Kumoko: "I'm relieved to hear that from Group Leader."]
[Rimuru: "That's right, I just finished watching Boruto too, and wow, it was really exciting!"]
In the split-screen.of the live broadcast.
Central 46 was still in a stalemate.
On the other side, Hinamori Momo, carrying Hitsugaya Tōshirō, encountered Captain Unohana Retsu of the Fourth Division, who was heading to Central 46, and Vice Captain Kotetsu Isane.
"Captain Unohana... Tōshirō is injured. Could you please help treat him?"
Hinamori Momo landed in front of Unohana Retsu and handed the heavily injured and unconscious Hitsugaya Tōshirō to her.
Seeing the large red stains on the Tenth Division Captain's haori, Unohana Retsu didn't hesitate and drew her Zanpakuto to treat him.
Under the Zanpakuto's healing, Hitsugaya Tōshirō's wounds were rapidly recovering.
"What happened? Why is Captain Hitsugaya so heavily injured?"
Kotetsu Isane pressed for an answer.
Could it be the Ryoka?
Thinking of Kurosaki ichigo and his group, who could even defeat Zaraki Kenpachi, and were now fighting Kuchiki Byakuya on Sōkyoku Hill, it didn't seem like a big problem for them to defeat Hitsugaya Tōshirō.
Although the Tenth Division Captain was a genius, he was still young, and his strength among the many captains was in the lower-middle range.
"The wound isn't serious, but there's a bit too much blood loss." Unohana Retsu's expression was somewhat puzzled.
The area of the wound clearly didn't match the amount of blood sprayed.
It was like being lightly scraped by a small knife, but the result was blood gushing out as if a major artery had ruptured.
"Um... I just used Kidō to treat Toushiro a bit," Hinamori Momo said in a low voice.
"I see." Unohana Retsu suddenly understood, but she was also a little puzzled.
Healing an almost fatal injury into a minor one, this was not something simple Kidō could achieve.
However, now was not the time to think about these things.
"Captain Hitsugaya will wake up in a while. I'll have Isane take him to the Fourth Division first."
"If you have nothing else to do, you can come along too," Unohana Retsu said after a moment of thought.
Hinamori Momo was silent.
"By the way, what happened to you and Captain Hitsugaya?"
Her Vice Captain had just asked, but Hinamori Momo seemed to have not said anything.
"It's... Captain Aizen. He might not be dead. Tōshirō was attacked."
"What?!" Kotetsu Isane paled in shock.
"I see, so that's how it is!"
Compared to Kotetsu Isane, who understood nothing, Unohana Retsu, as the first Kenpachi, quickly grasped the general idea.
Aizen Sōsuke... orchestrated all of this.
She just didn't know how many Captains and Vice Captains were involved.
"Hinamori Momo, may I ask one more question?" Unohana Retsu scrutinized Hinamori Momo. "When I was treating Captain Hitsugaya's injuries, there was energy remaining on his wound that was very similar to that of a Hollow..."
"I don't know. If there's nothing else, I'll leave now. I'll leave Tōshirō to you, Captain Unohana Retsu."
Hinamori Momo didn't let Unohana Retsu finish, stood up, and disappeared from the spot the next second.
"Such fast Shunpo!" Kotetsu Isane was stunned.
Could a Vice Captain use such Shunpo?
"That's not Shunpo..."
Compared to her own Vice Captain, Unohana Retsu clearly knew what kind of footwork Hinamori Momo used.
A Hollow's Sonido.
"Not Shunpo?"
Kotetsu Isane asked, puzzled.
"Isane, take the Tenth Division Captain to the barracks, and then... Never mind. I'll inform you after I confirm it."
She had originally wanted Kotetsu Isane to inform the other captains, but now that she thought about it, she herself didn't know the full story. Moreover, Hinamori Momo's words couldn't be entirely trusted.
She had to personally go to Central 46 to investigate to ensure the authenticity of the information.
...
Hinamori Momo, who was returning to Central 46 using Sonido, sighed silently in her heart.
As expected, she was still discovered.
Not only Tōshirō's wound, but perhaps the first Kenpachi could vaguely sense the Hollow's aura on her.
There was nothing she could do. Without using Hollowfication to provide power, she probably wouldn't be able to contend with Captain Aizen.
Besides, there's also Captain Ichimaru Gin.
Reaching out to touch her chest, Hinamori Momo murmured, "Captain Aizen, you're really ruthless. You didn't hesitate at all."
She recalled when she decided to implement the plan earlier.
Someone had strongly opposed it.
But she still decided to try once, even if it meant severing her feelings for Aizen, or rather, her unrequited love.
In her mind, the conversation at that time emerged.
"It's fine if you want to use this method to break free from Kyōka Suigetsu, but after that, I will do the same thing to Aizen, and even kill him."
Hinamori Momo didn't refuse this suggestion.
She only said that if she could do it before she returned, then she should try her best.
She would provide all her spiritual power.
"After this is over, I'm afraid I'll have to leave Soul Society."
The current Soul Society cannot tolerate Hollowfied Shinigami, let alone someone like her.
After being transformed by the Group Leader, or rather, by relying on her obsession with Aizen, she had gained control of the power given by the Group Leader.
She was now both a Hollow and a Shinigami... Perhaps, she also possessed the power of a Quincy.
