Kryptonian: Man of Steel

The previous incident involving Aizen Sosuke plunged Soul Society into an unprecedented crisis.

The Masked Army, as a key figure in that incident, was forced to leave the Soul Society they once swore to protect because of misunderstanding and betrayal.

However, with the passage of time, the truth gradually surfaced and their grievances were redressed.

At this moment, they stood on the side of the Soul Society, facing their common enemy - the Quincies who intended to subvert the order of the Soul Society.

Kyoraku Shunsui knew that their arrival would undoubtedly inject new vitality into the Soul Society.

Kyoraku Shunsui communicated with the Masked Army and pulled them back to the Soul Society camp.

So he began to try to communicate with the Masked Army. He told them that the Soul Society was in urgent need of high-end combat power to fight the threat of the Quincies.

As the former captains and vice-captains of the Shinigami, the Masked Army's strength and experience were what the Soul Society needed.

At the same time, he also told the Masked Corps that their grievances had been redressed and they were no longer fugitives from abroad. They could return to the Soul Society and continue to protect peace for the Soul Society.

The Masked Corps was very excited about Kyoraku Shunsui's proposal. They had always wanted to return to the Soul Society and continue to serve the Soul Society. Now that they had this opportunity, they would naturally not let it go.

So, with Kyoraku Shunsui's efforts, the Masked Corps and the Soul Society reached an agreement. They would return to the Soul Society and become a member of the Soul Society.

At the same time, they would also play an important role in the next battle.

Kyoraku Shunsui was under a lot of pressure, and it seemed that he had arranged everything well.

But only he himself knew how weak the Shinigami were today.

The departure of Unohana Retsu, Zaraki Kenpachi, and Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni made the Shinigami weaker than ever before.

The strength of the Shinigami seemed to have been taken away by half overnight, leaving behind a group of young warriors who had not yet fully grown up and several mainstays, including himself.

None of them can be called a decent fighter. Although Kyoraku Shunsui is very strong, he knows the gap between himself and Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

With the existing strength alone, it is like hitting a rock with an egg to confront a behemoth like the Invisible Empire.

But Kyoraku Shunsui never thought of retreating. There was an inextinguishable flame burning in his heart.

Ukitake Jushiro's physical condition was getting worse and worse. Even if he had an inextinguishable fighting spirit in his heart, it was difficult to support a long-term battle.

This feeling of powerlessness, like a huge rock, pressed on Kyoraku Shunsui's chest, making him almost breathless. But he knew that as the current captain, he could not fall down, nor could he let this despair spread.

In addition, now that the Soul Palace has been lost, it is impossible even if you want to use the prisoners in the Worm Nest.

Kyoraku Shunsui looked in another direction.

That is the direction of Soul City and the God World.

Want to ask for help from the God World?

No, it's not at that point yet.

But it can be used as a preliminary plan.

In order to deal with the current crisis, Kyoraku Shunsui decided to take a series of unconventional measures to let the Gotei 13th Division regain the cold and efficient fighting style of the first generation of the Killing Division.

In this turbulent era, only by adapting and changing can we have a chance of survival.

He personally formulated a detailed battle plan, using the existing resources to set up traps and ambush points one after another, waiting for the Quincies to fall into the trap.

And Kurotsuchi Mayuri, the captain known as a mad scientist, became a key figure in this plan.

He used his wisdom and technology to invent a series of weapons and devices targeting the special abilities of the Quincies, greatly improving the combat effectiveness of the Shinigami.

As Kyoraku Shunsui expected, the chasing troops sent out fell into their carefully designed traps without noticing.

The scientific research team led by Kurotsuchi Mayuri acted quickly, subdued the captured Quincies one by one, and brought them back for in-depth research.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi's eyes, shining with fanatical light, seemed to be able to see through the secrets of life and transform death into the key to victory in the war.

This not only provided a valuable source of intelligence for the Shinigami, but also laid the foundation for them to formulate more precise combat strategies in the future.

It goes without saying that if they fell into Mayuri Kurotsuchi's hands, it would be difficult for these Quincies to die.

Haschwald, who knew about this, did not send anyone to rescue the missing Quincies. On the contrary, all the Quincies were gathered together and hid.

The reason for doing so was, of course, because they were worried that the Shinigami would take advantage of the opportunity and disturb Yhwach. What if Yhwach was furious and died early?

Whether for their own lives or for the future, they did not want to take risks.

Therefore, hiding in the Invisible Empire and eliminating all possibilities was the most advantageous choice.

However, when Kyoraku Shunsui learned that Haschwald did not send reinforcements to rescue the missing Quincies, but instead contracted the entire Invisible Empire for defense, he felt unprecedented confusion and vigilance.

He knew that there must be some deep reason behind such an action.

"In terms of strength alone, they are not worse than us. Even without Yhwach, they have the powerful fighting power of the Stern Cross Knights. There is no reason for us to let them deal with the men we sent out."

The Stern Cross Knights are as powerful as the captains of the Death Gods. Even if they are alone, the captains of the general Death Gods cannot defeat them.

They are a legion of nearly 30 Quincies in the Invisible Empire whose strength is stronger than or similar to the captain-level Death Gods. Each member has the Holy Word and the power represented by the Holy Word.

Except for being too careless about the enemy, there are no shortcomings.

Not to mention that the strength of the 13th Division has been greatly reduced now. If they attack in full force or send out most of their forces, they will be enough to chase the 13th Division to heaven and earth.

"What's the problem with Youhabach? He needs protection, so he can't send more forces?"

"Or are you afraid of the reaction of the God World and don't plan to send more forces to deal with us?"

Kyōraku Shunsui thought about various possibilities, and Kurotsuchi Mayuri and Urahara Kisuke had already obtained information from the Quincies of the pursuit team they captured.

When they knew that Youhabach still needed to sleep to recover his strength and that they were afraid that the God World would take action against them, Kyōraku Shunsui began to think about how to use such information to plan.

"We can't attack the Invisible Empire directly, that would be like hitting a rock with an egg."

Even if they knew about Yhwach's problem, they couldn't attack directly.
