Chapter 1198 Distraction
Kisuke immediately felt the five members of the Zero Division emerging but he didn''t wait for them. He raised his right arm and the veins in it started burning, "Hadou no 96..."
Kisuke swung his arm down, aiming straight at the Spirit King Pce, "Ittou Kasou (Single de Cremation)." From the tip of his fingers, extended a giant katana de made out of crimson fire.
The almost half-kilometer long and 50-meter wide de descended upon the Spirit King Pce, drying its surroundings and dyeing the atmosphere red.
But before it could reach the pce, a single word read as [Block] suddenly appeared in the way of the de as if someone painted the sky with it.
The scorching de hit the word and stopped, however, only momentarily as the ck ink was soon burned off. The single de continued its descent with as much force as before and was about to give its judgment to the pce.
But just as Kisuke was about to reach his target, he felt another resistance, and this time, much stronger. When he looked at the end of his de, he found five familiar people working together to intercept his attack.
"Then try blocking it," Kisuke muttered to himself and gritted his teeth, pushing his body to further limits. The five ''eyes'' behind elongated until they looked like five raysing off his back and at the same time, the crimson de in his hand became heavier. To his surprise, however, the de didn''t budge one bit, ''There is more resistance than I thought.''
Below the five cities, Kisuke could see hundreds of the Royal Guards preparing to fire off their spells to take him down, ''They figured out that I can''t move... Should I give up? This should be enough of a message.''

In Soul Society, the moment Kisuke''s massive and strange Reiatsu appeared on top of them, almost everyone started panicking. After what happened in Hell, everyone thought that he too became an enemy and came to attack the Soul Society. Notable individuals immediately started to prepare a counter but some of them immediately noticed that he was not within the Seireitei.
''The Spirit King Pce?'' Mayuri asked himself, ''The most annoying and dangerous one finally appeared and he went to the Spirit King Pce first? How did he even reach that ce?''
Mayuri had already anticipated that Kisuke would study everything about Space-Time maniption if he was alive in Hell but he didn''t expect that he''d go attack the Spirit King Pce, ''This is weird even for him. Does he have some sort of grudge against the Royal Guards? And this Reiatsu... It''s almost on par with Aizen Sosuke. Just what was he up to all these years?''
While berating his subordinates to calm down, Mayuri went back into hisboratory with various questions emerging from his head.
Kyouraku, Nanao, Shinji, and Soifon, all at different ces doing their work, looked up and questioned what Kisuke was trying to do now, ''After a year of silence, he appeared like this with a bang. I hoped he would give us a heads-up. He even revealed himself this time.'' Kyouraku thought to himself and decided to randomly send out amand to guard the entrances of the Seireitei.
However, those thoughts instantly changed when he heard Kisuke''s voice echoing in his head.

Deep inside the most secure prison, Aizen opened his eyes and looked up with a smile, "Finally doing something?" However, that smile immediately disappeared when he heard Kisuke''s voice inside his head as if he was dering something to the world.
.

Benihime, who was about to be deployed to Hell for her Onmitsukidou mission, stopped her steps when certain words suddenly appeared in her mind.
.
.
.
Just as he thought of giving up, he suddenly heard a voice, [Boss, you have our power. Why are you not using it?]
''nna?'' The moment he recognized her voice, a chant also appeared in his head, ''...This is...''
[Do it boss. We''re with you.]
Kisuke smiled. He didn''t really want to borrow their powers, but he also wanted to test what they could do, ''I guess this is a good chance.''
Kisuke opened his mouth and even without doing anything to amplify his voice, he was heard by everyone, [The Strings of Death, weave my existence.]
"What is he saying!? Why can we hear it!?" Tenjirou Kirinji, who was using his everything to push back against the de, loudly asked. Sadly for him, no one could answer it.
The next second, everyone heard another voice, [The Blood of Everchanging Fate within me, ept your Destiny.]
''Benihime?'' Kisuke thought when he heard the next line. But just like Tenjirou, there was no one who answered him and soon heard Ophis and Lilith''s voices, [The jet-ck God of Infinity.]
Immediately after, nna''s voice was heard, [The glorious Red God of Dreams.]
Finally, as ifpelled, Kisuke muttered thest chant along with everyone who spoke, [We shallmand the Present and take hold of the Future. Thou shalt swim through infinite possibilities with absolute sincerity!]
In an instant, the color of the de became a mix of jet-ck, crimson, and blood-red mes. Along with this change was the resistance on Kisuke''s arm lessening as he pushed further down.
Judging that they wouldn''t be able to block the attack, Ichibei hurriedlymanded, "Push it to the right!!!"
With astounding coordination, all of the members of the Zero Division matched their timing and strength to push the ming de to the side.
The resistance disappeared and Kisuke was able to swipe down which immediately cut the Spirit King Pce in half, albeit, off by several feet from the middle. As the smaller half started falling, the ming de was also extinguished.
And despite his right arm being absolutely charred beyond recognition, Kisuke still had this refreshed smile stered on his face but that also immediately disappeared when he saw the angry faces of the Royal Guards trying to approach him, ''Oops. Time to bail.'' From the ripped space where he went through, he traced his steps back with various Kidou spells flying in his direction.
Nevertheless, before they could hit Kisuke, he had already disappeared and space was already mending itself.
.

As soon as he came back, he immediately deactivated his Shunkou and Hollowfication but his Hell friends didn''t miss his charcoaled arm.
"Just where did you go and what did you do?" Furoufushi asked curiously and cautiously. They all thought that they could take him on easy, but after he revealed his aura, they were not so sure anymore.
Kisuke pulled his burnt arm off and snapped it like a twig before using Ice Magic to close the wound, "A bit of a distraction. They won''t be able to put that much attention on Hell, especially the cities of [Unchained], for now."
''Shunsui-san and Soifon-san will probably try to contact me, but it''s going to be dangerous so I''ll hold off answering for some time. What''s important right now is I adjust the Homunculus so that it''ll be able to take souls that came to Hell.''
