Chapter 16 God will also miscalculate, Beng Yu and Liang Yue
That is an incredible space.
The blue sky is a bit darker compared to the real world or Soul Society.
The air floating there was different from both Soul Society and Hueco Mundo even though it was filled with rich spiritual seeds. It was dotted with objects like cliffs of barren rocks, and the inorganic wilderness stretched infinitely.
In one of the areas, there stood two buildings that were completely inconsistent with the desolate scenery.
It is a luxurious building with an Oriental style that looks like a historic palace.
The Qionglou Yuyu, which is not very high and is built low and wide, shines with a strange brilliance in a space filled with only rocks and gravel.
It is as if this part has been replaced with the Noble Street in Soul Society. What kind of emotions will those who see it have?
On the other side, there is another building, which is even more strange compared to it.
It looks like a whole city block, and is a huge palace floating in the air that is reminiscent of Soul King Palace and Reiban Riden.
It looked at the world with intense pressure, but could not feel even the slightest bit of spiritual pressure from any living thing. It was like an empty container floating in the air.
Directly under the building that existed in this strange way, in the palace atrium rooted in the ground, a woman wearing modern clothes——Aura Dowagen raised her voice.
"Thank you for your hard work, Tokinada-sama"
The man being spoken to, Tsunayashiro Tokinada, who was wearing a gorgeous kimono that seemed to exist just for this palace, said with his usual disgusting smile.
"Ah, even though it was a hasty move, it's great that I was able to accomplish it while Ichigo Kurosaki was away."
"It seems that everything is not going well for you. After all, when you came to this "Called Valley", you should have made a further reservation. Did you go a little too far?"
So, faster than Tsunayashiro Tokinada could answer this question, Ukanuhiko panicked and denied it.
"That's not true! Tokinada-sama did nothing wrong! It's all because I couldn't be with Tokinada-sama!"
"Ah, if Hikoya is around, there will definitely be a solution. But, I am the one who wants Hikoya to go to Rukongai. This is not something you need to mind."
"Uh uh... I'm very sorry, Tokinada-sama..."
In front of Hikomi, who was as disappointed as a scolded puppy, Aura said to Tokinada with a meaningless smile mask on her face.
"But it's an incredible place, here."
"This is only the third time you've come to this "Called Valley", right?"
It’s called Valley.
If the present world and Soul Society are compared to planets, then the pipe connecting the planets is the "Breaking World", and the cosmic space that covers everything is called the "Black Cavity".
And in that black cavity, bubbles surfaced from time to time, a space filled with spiritual particles where humans and the God of Death could barely survive. This was the existence that was given the name "Called Valley" together.
"That's right. I'm very interested in why a place like this arises among the black community."
"There is a saying that it is the result of the accumulation of miserable souls who have been completely stripped of their memories and are free from reincarnation. If the end point of the Hollow's arrival is the desert of Hueco Mundo, this is where humans who have missed the soul burial and Hollow, and
A false world built by the Shinigami who escaped from the flow of reincarnation and the souls of the people of Rukongai.”
"Does it mean that the spirit sons gathered together by chance like this and gave birth to this space?"
"There are different opinions. Or on the contrary, when the world was reborn into its current form, spirit particles may have flowed into the scattered spaces as mentioned above - but well, the origin of this space is no longer the same.
The important thing is that now, this is a natural fortress protected by the black cavity."
Chuckling, Tokinada said.
"It's probably the first time that the four nobles are related to Shoudani since they ousted the Ryuudoji family from power in the past." (The Ryuudoji family is the villain group in the movie version 1, and the concept of Shoudani first appeared in the theater.
Version 1)
Telling the family names of ancient nobles, recalling the actions of ancestors related to the exile drama.
"It's so pleasant. A defeated dog who was a strong man until a moment ago was exiled to a valley called Valley without knowing what happened. It's a rare thing worth savoring. It's really sad that he couldn't catch up with that era.
What a pity." (The plot in the theatrical version is that he was exiled to the broken world, and then ended up in Minggu by accident)
"Although I don't know about the Ryuudoji family, if they are still alive, wouldn't they one day take revenge on Soul Society?"
"What will happen? Things have already happened somewhere that I don't know, and maybe everything has been settled. Even if it comes later, I am really looking forward to the moment when I defeat it.
No way"
"Before that, you were an enemy of the Gotei 13, right?"
Looking at Aura, who was still talking about the hostile forces with a smile on her face, Tokinada twisted the corners of her mouth with a smile that had a completely different meaning from Aura's.
"Yes, it's just as you said. But even so, this is a different matter...Are you afraid?"
Facing Tokinada's tentative remarks, Aura shook her head quietly.
"No. Although Urahara Kisuke is indeed a very scary person, if he is the top player among the Gotei 13, then the rest of them can always handle it."
"Don't be too self-righteous, okay? It's true that Urahara Kisuke is a man with unlimited means, but Seireitei is a devil's cave. But don't forget that even an ordinary soldier may have the power to you.
The worst Zanpakutō ever."
Although she was weaving words of warning verbally, Aura did not miss the curious look hidden deep in her eyes.
——This man is smiling. It would be better if that were the case.
——This nobleman who has been praising me for my near-invincible ability has always laughed at my stunned look at that moment if he saw me being killed by an ordinary soldier.
Yes.
After understanding this, Aura stood beside him.
Tokinada also asked jokingly after understanding Aura's heart.
"But, there is something to look forward to. The power that resides in me because I have no attachment or nostalgia for the world... If the world were repainted by us, wouldn't we have some nostalgia? If so...
...Whether you will become stronger or become weaker is really exciting. Right Hikoya?"
"Yes! I don't quite understand what you mean, but if Tokinada-sama is looking forward to it, then I am looking forward to it too!"
Hikoya smiled innocently at Tokinada's words.
"…………"
Aura's expression changed for a moment when she saw Hikomi like that, but Tokinada and others did not notice this.
Then, as if trying to obscure the direction of his feelings, he changed the direction of the topic back to its original track. (The word "flow" is used after both feelings and topics. Here it should mean direction, flow, that is,
If the topic continues, a certain emotion in her heart will inevitably arise, so she interrupts the topic in order to interrupt the emotion. In this sentence, the topic and emotion are like two parallel tracks. This kind of ordinary sentence is so sincere.
Awesome, but not easy to translate...)
"...Why don't you go see Urahara Kisuke? You are currently imprisoned by the abilities of our companions."
So, Tokinada shook his head after thinking about it for a moment.
"Forget it. That's a man who can kill everyone here with just a word. Warning is necessary. Although it is a true fact that he has been captured, I am directly facing him. That is the commander himself.
It’s like going to the front line. I have no intention of committing suicide.”
His smile, which was reminiscent of a carnivorous beast, became even more twisted as he continued to speak.
"Let him create the "Hengyu" after all the things he should protect have been destroyed. No, should he not destroy it and keep it as hostage...? However, I also feel a bit like the expression on his face when the people he loves are killed.
I want to see it..."
With a frivolous feeling almost like choosing the entertainment book to read next, Tokinada was worried about how he should treat Urahara in the future.
Aura thought that this was the man Tokinada's shortcomings but also his greatest strength, and said as if reminiscing.
"Speaking of which... when I captured Urahara Kisuke, I also fought with other Shinigami."
"Ah, although the criminal army came to interfere before we could directly watch the video...but the reiatsu data other than Urahara was indeed observed. Kurosaki and his son should not be here, it is the 13th Division that is stationed?"
"It's the deputy captain of Division 9, Shuhei Hisagi."
"Hisaki...Hisaki? Ah, the disciple Tosen wants!"
Recalling the face of the opponent who had made his life a mess in the past, Tokinada began to speak with a voice full of joy.
"Hahaha! What a coincidence! I thought that one day I would slowly spend time playing with it, but it seems that it will break unexpectedly soon. How will the editor-in-chief of Seireitei Communications report me?
His inauguration is really worth looking forward to.”
"He is still isolated in Karakura Town. He can't come here. But after all, I don't think he can come here even in Soul Society."
Aura described the current situation calmly, but Tokinada shook his head.
"No? The guys from Soul Society will come. A few more hours... no, maybe even dozens of minutes. After all, if the Nirvana Ritsu is there, those guys can kill me right away.
No matter the purpose or the place, we must have found it.”
"...Is this okay? With Kyoraku Shunsui's personality, he will probably act in secret, but he should also send the corresponding master here, right?"
"That's why it's better for them to arrive here. I'm not good at dealing with tricks and traps that take time to set up. If you want to end it, the sooner the better."
Tokinada stroked Hikomi's head, thinking of the face of his enemy who was about to come, and expressed his expectations in a voice full of joy.
"This is a good opportunity to openly kill all those who interfere with my entertainment in the name of rebellion."

Seireitei Raicho 11th Squadron Building
After the messenger team sent by the First Division returned, Kenpachi came to Kazuzu and others wearing captain Haori.
Then, a brief order was given.
"Ikkaku, Yumichika, is out of battle."
"Yes, Captain!"
After replying together, the two of them ran out behind Kenpachi who walked out of the door angrily.
The destination and reason were not specifically disclosed, but since a secret mobile messenger team was specially dispatched to deliver the order, they must have received some secret order.
Although they didn't know what kind of death they were going to, Ikkaku and Yumichika didn't flinch at all. Kenpachi seemed to know this and didn't ask them about their consciousness.
Because he instinctively understood that bathing in the blood smoke in the uninterrupted battlefield was the only reward for those who carried sawgrass on their backs.
Chasing behind such Kenpachi, Ikkaku asked Yumichika, who was running diagonally behind him.
"However, it doesn't matter whether the captain was called out or the actions of the second division just now. What happened?"
Yumichika, who was spoken to, shrugged and shook his head.
"Who knows? Speaking of strange things, it's just that Mr. Hisagi has gone to the present world."
"Go to this world?"
"It's based on Karakura Town. Didn't you hear something from Shino-chan?"
"Shino... is that guy working hard?"
Recalling that after the Quincy War, my sister looked a little haggard for a short period of time, thinking about the current situation.
"I've met that guy's partner once before, but he seems a bit unreliable..."
"Ah, he is the younger brother of Yuki-kun from the 6th division, that's true."
"Rikichi? That guy is Renji's younger brother, he's got a lot of backbone."
The so-called Rikichi Yuki is a young Shinigami in the 6th Division. He is famous for having the same style of tattoo on his eyebrows that he admired Renji Abarai.
From Madarame's point of view, he was still far behind Renji in terms of kung fu, but he still remembered that he showed considerable courage during joint training with the Sixth Division.
"Well, after all, I graduated from the Spiritual Arts Institute, and I was specially sent to Karakura Town, the place of heavy spirituality. There must be something special about it." (Ordinary team members are online, Miss Dohane, be careful)

Underground facility of Sannomiya Urahara Store in Karakura Town
"What should I do, what should I do, Miss Shino! Mr. Urahara has been captured or something! The world is going to be destroyed..."
Under the painted blue sky, Ryunosuke's cries resounded.
Existing beneath the Urahara Store, there is a vast space created by distorting laws and natural laws.
Although it is underground but it has an outdoor atmosphere, this underground facility was the place where Ichigo Kurosaki, Renji Abarai, Taitora Sadatari and others once practiced.
The space that Urahara created for Ichigo in one night is called the "Study Room". It is a facility characterized by a false sky, withered trees, and a vast space where the Shinigami can do whatever they want without any problem.
For Ryunosuke, who was crying here, Shino used a headlock from behind to lock his head (headlock: a wrestling technique of holding the opponent's head under his arm).
