Chapter 1212 Incinarated
Chapter 1212 Incinarated
While walking through the empty hallway of the unnecessarily huge castle, one of the [Chained] and a former Kenpachi, Kurayashiki, grumble to himself, "Why do we keep having these nonsensical meetings?"
"It seems that Szayelaporro is already losing his patience because the rate of Shinigami coming to Hell is a lot less than he expected." From behind him, a voice replied to his muttering, and when Kurayashiki turned around he saw a dark-skinned, blindfolded man, "Not to mention, only a single weak Captain is managing an outpost that is too tiny for everyone's appetite."
"Tousen, huh?" Kurayashiki murmured, "I don't care. It's not a good enough reason to keep calling everyone. It's annoying. If he's hungry, he should just go alone."
Kaname caught up to Kurayashiki and started walking beside him, "And what? Fell for another of Kurotsuchi's traps? He may not show it but he's really afraid of that man. Even if there's a bit of uncertainty on his part, he won't make any drastic movement."
Kurayashiki scoffed at his words, "If not for him controlling these eyes and chains, he wouldn't be lording over us." He then turned his head to Kaname and said, "By the way, if you want to live long enough, you should be careful around him. I think he's onto you."
"For what?"
"Who knows? That's what I'm seeing from him."
"And why are you informing me of this?"
"Err... Because it's interesting? It'll be better if the two of you duke it out. Maybe a good way to pass time."
All of a sudden, Kaname stopped walking and asked, "Do you still want an end to this wretched way of existing?"Kurayashiki also stopped walking and was so confused that he suddenly changed the subject of their conversation. Nevertheless, he didn't really mind it and answered, "Of course. There's no point in living in a constant state of hunger that will never go away as long as we're bound by these chains."
"You have a choice of casting these chains away or stepping into the Human World to end yourself."
Kurayashiki became silent for a moment before he resumed his steps, "Getting away from these chains is impossible for me. And dying outside of Hell is not really the end either. It's just more suffering."
Under his blindfold, Kaname's lightless eyes widened at his statement, "Just more suffering? What do you mean?"
Kurayashiki only glanced at him and didn't answer.
Kaname stayed for a few more seconds before walking forward again.

Within what looked like a throne room, Szayelaporro was sitting and looking down on everyone present from his overly adorned chair. Leaning on his skeletonized left arm, he loudly voiced his dissatisfaction when Kaname, the last one, entered the room, "You're late."
However, Kaname ignored his remarks and made his way to a corner where he wouldn't be bothered.
Szayelaporro clicked his tongue and his perpetually drenched in blood ram-like horns pulsated grossly, signifying that his mood had dropped even further. Even then, he couldn't really do anything against him with all the other people in the room not looking at him kindly. It was obvious that he didn't have anyone's loyalty and was just forcefully gathering everyone.
He, who had the 'Devil's horns', is the chosen one, so he doesn't really care about their opinions, 'Once I'm complete, I'll eat every single one of you.'
There were a total of 11 people within the chamber including Szayelaporro and each one of them had their own reasons for cooperation despite their incredible differences.
"For some reason, the detestable bugs have managed to learn something similar to Hell's Blessing so we can't wait for the fruit to ripen. In six hours, we'll initiate our attack and eat every single one of them. After that, we'll make our way to Hueco Mundo and directly connect it to Hell. From there, we will be able to reach Soul Society." Szayelaporro told them a simple plan with a lazy voice, "You're dismissed."
Without any fail, each one of them glared at Szayelaporro and the former Kenpachi, Kiganjou angrily shouted, "You called us just for that!?"
"Why? Do you have a problem with it?"
"This bastard..." The shortsighted Kiganjou started fuming, "I'm not your slave!" He shouted while pulling out his Zanpakuto and sending flames towards Szayelaporro.
However, the latter only looked at him with an unconcerned expression and snapped his skeletal fingers. The next instant, the flames disappeared and the chain tattoos on Kiganjou's body materialized and began squeezing him to death.
Kiganjou let out an ugly screech as the chains reduced him into pieces of flesh and only stopped when his head was detached from his body. Until the end, he didn't know what was happening. When he regained consciousness, he found himself standing in the same spot before he attacked Szayelaporro.
"W-what was that?" Kiganjou asked himself with a horror-filled face. He knew for sure that it wasn't a dream because of the blood and bits of flesh scattered around him.
Naturally, Szayelaporro couldn't be bothered to answer even though this was the first time he showed this ability to Kiganjou and just repeated his previous words, "You're dismissed."
The others didn't give another glance to Kiganjou nor did they have any pity to give since he's just a coward who avoided Szayelaporro all this time. They guessed that he thought that they were going to back him up once they started brawling, but only now did he realize how wrong he was.
Szayelaporro smirked at everyone's reaction but just as they were about to leave, a heavy Reiatsu suddenly bore down onto their consciousness. Except for the former Arrancars, everyone else shuddered at this Reiatsu full of killing intent that was directed at them.
A few seconds later, a flaming meteor crashed into the roof of the throne room and landed on the floor, destroying it.
Everyone could only stare at the flames in awe and as they receded, revealing an old man within it, and then their awe changed into fear, "Hooh... So this is where you were hiding, you maggots."
"C-Captain..." Chigiri Shijima muttered in horror.
But the only thing that greeted him was a flash of flames that instantly engulfed and turned him into ashes, "I see that you still have the guts to call me Captain. How disgusting."
Everyone almost couldn't see what just happened but they all understood that with a swing of his sword, one of them was instantly incarnated with nothing left behind and all they could feel now was the intense residual heat.
"Everyone! Attack!" Nobutsuna Shigyou shouted, pulling out everyone from their temporary stupor.
