Chapter 58 – Farewell to Haruko

Chapter 58 – Farewell to Haruko

Ailin had enough understanding about himself.

Was he strong?

Yes, very strong, and might even become extremely strong in the future!

However, he was still far from being invincible in the Soul Reaper world, at least in Ailin's opinion at the moment. He possessed the "Unlimited Blade Works," which allowed him to create "swords" with various abilities.

Especially in a world like the Soul Reapers' that had "Zanpakutō," Ailin could endow many abilities into the Zanpakutō as the "Shikai" and "Bankai" to use.

This point was also acknowledged by the ability of "Unlimited Blade Works." Because in this world, those were the abilities that belonged to "swords."

However, over the years, Ailin had been studying hard. Well, he took out all those powerful weapons from his memory and discovered that even with all of them, he still couldn't achieve "invincibility" among the Soul Reapers.

Among them, the most unsolvable one was Ichibē Hyōsube of the Royal Guard. His existence itself was equivalent to Soul Society.

He was given the name "Ichibē" by the Soul King and obtained the power of "name giving." for new novels

All things named by Ichibē Hyōsube possessed the "power" corresponding to their names. The names of everything in Soul Society were all given by Ichibē Hyōsube. In addition, the essential nature of Ichibē Hyōsube's existence was "black."

All the "blackness" in the world belonged to him.

Relying on this essence, Ichibē Hyōsube conceived the oldest Zanpakutō that had existed before the birth of Zanpakutō - Ichimonji.

It could be said that except for the Soul King, Ichibē Hyōsube was the "invincible one" among the Soul Reapers.

It was precisely because Yhwach possessed the ability of "omniscience and omnipotence" that he could ignore Ichibē Hyōsube's power of "blackness" and "naming" and defeat him.

When thinking of these two, Ailin felt somewhat pessimistic. Perhaps only after seeing Tenjirō Kirinji and replicating his Zanpakutō, "Kinpika," could he make "Avalon" based on Kinpika’s abilities and stand in an undefeated place.

As for defeating those two...

When seeing Ailin again, Yoruichi Shihōin was still as casual as ever, leaning her shoulder on him to greet him, acting as if Ailin's threat to Kisuke Urahara had never happened.

Since Yoruichi Shihōin didn't mind, Ailin naturally wouldn't take that matter to heart either. "Yeah, indeed been over half a year since we last met. You are still in your prime, Captain Yoruichi."

After smilingly responding to Yoruichi, Ailin shifted his gaze to the person beside her. After half a year, Haruko Kuchiki had lost some weight, but her mental condition was better than it was half a year ago. This made Ailin almost beam with joy.

As expected of the most intelligent person among the Soul Reapers. Even Soul Reapers who had been Hollowfied could be restored by him. For a trivial soul deterioration, there definitely wouldn't be any problems as long as Kisuke Urahara was willing.

From the looks of it, Kisuke Urahara's results were not bad so far.

"How do you feel?"

"Hmm, I feel much more relaxed than before."

Having been husband and wife for five years, although Ailin didn't say it explicitly, Haruko Kuchiki knew what he wanted to ask.

"It has been hard on you, Haruko." Ailin reached out and grasped Haruko Kuchiki's hand in his palm.

This was the first time Ailin had been so intimate with Haruko Kuchiki in front of others. It made Haruko somewhat shy as she secretly glanced at Yoruichi Shihōin, wanting to withdraw her hand yet reluctant to part with it.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm still here, you know..." Yoruichi Shihōin knocked her forehead. These two, didn't they see what occasion this was? She was still around!

However, Ailin's performance also let Yoruichi Shihōin breathe a sigh of relief in her heart. At least Ailin was not a heartless and unprincipled man.

"Captain Ailin, Lady Kuchiki's problem is very serious. Although her condition has alleviated somewhat under Urahara's help, if the root cause is not thoroughly resolved, Lady Kuchiki's situation will become more and more dangerous."

"Hmm?"

Ailin's brows furrowed. That's not right.
