Bleach: The Invincible Slacker from Rukongai

Chapter 318: More Destructive Than Nobles



Such an incredible realm of power and such overwhelming strength shocked Aizen immensely, filling him with endless expectations and a yearning he had never experienced before.

High in the sky above them, Uehara Shiroha's overall appearance didn't change dramatically, except that the six floating blade fragments behind him had transformed into magnificent purple wings that seemed to pulse with otherworldly energy.

At the same time, his white uniform of the Teigun General had been replaced by an imposing purple armor adorned with strange, intricate patterns and several golden runes that glowed with mysterious power etched across its surface.

At this moment, he had already exited his previous transformed state, but his strength had actually increased exponentially instead of decreasing.

Because of his complete and perfect control over the Hogyoku, Uehara Shiroha had immediately entered the Hogyoku fusion form and completed the final, ultimate transformation in a matter of moments.

Moreover, the spiritual energy coursing through him after this evolution was noticeably purer and significantly stronger than anything Aizen had achieved during his own fusion.

Feeling the absolutely suffocating invisible pressure radiating from Shiroha's transformed form, Aizen muttered to himself with a mixture of awe and desperate curiosity:

"Is the transformation finally complete?

Let me see exactly how strong you've become now!"

"As you wish!" Uehara Shiroha responded with casual confidence, gently stretching out his hand. The moment his spiritual pressure burst forth with devastating force, Aizen's entire body instantly shattered like fragile glass:

"I've surpassed everything that came before me!

Aizen, I must thank you for providing me with your Hogyoku.

Without your desperate struggle and evolution, the Hogyoku wouldn't have reached this incredible level of power.

So in return, I didn't completely strip away all of your abilities.

Don't worry about your life - I won't kill you just yet.

You can't die now, because you're still going to be useful to me in the future!"

A full week later, Uehara Shiroha was systematically dealing with the troublesome nobles of Soul Society:

"What exactly have I done to deserve such blatant disrespect from all of you?

You actually have the audacity to try and bribe me with things that already belong to me?

You call it a generous gift? A gracious bestowal?

Are you even worthy of making such claims?

No one can take away what rightfully belongs to me, and no one has the authority to give me what I already possess!

I'll simply take whatever I want, whenever I want it!

Now kneel down before me!"

The nobles who had once been so arrogantly high and mighty now found themselves prostrating helplessly at Uehara Shiroha's feet, as if they were groveling before an all-powerful Emperor or divine Phoenix.

These same people had originally come here with the intention of negotiating favorable terms and attempting to win over Uehara Shiroha to their cause.

After witnessing how he had dealt with Aizen so decisively, they foolishly thought they could manipulate him the same way they had manipulated others in the past.

Even the mighty Aizen could be imprisoned in the depths of Hell when he became inconvenient, so what threat could the Commander-in-Chief of the Teigun possibly pose to their established power?

So naturally, they had spoken with their usual arrogant tone and condescending attitude.

Without any surprise whatsoever, they were all immediately subdued and captured by Uehara Shiroha's overwhelming power.

He was already making plans to wait until Yhwach inevitably destroyed the Hueco Mundo Arrancar forces, and then he would place these worthless nobles in Hueco Mundo to fill the resulting power vacuum.

This way, the delicate balance between the two worlds would be maintained, and countless innocent Rukongai residents wouldn't have to die needlessly to sustain the nobles' luxurious lifestyles.

Although Uehara Shiroha definitely doesn't consider himself to be a saint by any measure.

But in his rational opinion, there really is no justifiable reason why the parasitic nobles should continue to live comfortably at the direct expense of the common people's suffering.

Except for himself, everyone else in existence was essentially a commoner, and there was certainly no shortage of capable individuals to fill important positions.

In his presence, all beings are truly equal - they are all insignificant ants compared to his transcendent power.

Uehara Shiroha genuinely looked forward to seeing exactly what kind of expressions these sadistic nobles who kill innocent people for entertainment would display when they found themselves exiled to the harsh wastelands of Hueco Mundo, or even better, when they were being devoured alive by hungry Hollows.

It would undoubtedly be absolutely wonderful to witness.

Looking at the nobles who now appeared like helpless lambs awaiting slaughter, Kyoraku Shunsui let out a long, weary sigh:

"It still has to be you, Shiroha.

This is exactly what I've been dreaming of doing for years, but I've never had the courage or power to actually go through with it.

Recently, the Head Captain has been extremely angry about various situations, so you should probably take it a bit easier with your actions."

He had absolutely no positive feelings toward these corrupt nobles whatsoever.

They were all nothing but greedy, power-hungry parasites, and some of them had directly caused the complete destruction and downfall of several smaller, more honorable families.

However, for those like himself who held high positions and wielded significant power within the traditional system, only Uehara Shiroha possessed the strength and authority to completely disregard their political influence.

Even the legendary Head Captain Yamamoto couldn't do anything truly decisive against these entrenched nobles due to political complications.

Uehara Shiroha responded with calm, unwavering confidence:

"All of your traditional rules and political considerations mean absolutely nothing to me.

If you would rather continue supporting those completely useless nobles instead of supporting me and my vision...

Then you all deserve whatever fate awaits you.

My choosing to stand on your side is the greatest possible help and advantage I could offer you.

The Head Captain has always stood firmly on the side of the Gotei 13 and Soul Society's established order.

In the past, the nobles were supported and protected because opposing them would disrupt the existing social order.

Now he supports me because I am far more destructive and transformative than those nobles could ever hope to be.

Whether the old system can be preserved or not is completely unimportant - as long as the greater structure continues to function and evolve, the details are irrelevant.

Right now, I am the overall situation. I am the new order that will reshape everything."
