Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 1260 Those Who Once Sent The Worlds Into Turmoil

Mayuri opened the path for Kunou from his terminal and while he was doing so, his Corpse Unit finally got their bearings and Dordoni asked him, "What did you do to us?"

"The same with the Captains and the Lieutenants." Mayuri expressionlessly answered.

The former Arrancars looked at each other and inspected their bodies once again, "You mean giving us a physical body?" Dordoni asked again while flexing and stretching his limbs.

Cirucci was curious about who Kunou was but she's more interested in one thing, "But why did you ask for her opinion? You didn't have to do that experimentation in front of her, right?" Mayuri could have just shown the current state of the Captains and Lieutenants if he wanted a better opinion.

Cirucci had been feeling even better compared to before she took the pill and while inspecting her body, it was too late for her to realize that she had been questioning Mayuri's intention and hurriedly and nervously shut her mouth.

The others also held their breaths back the moment Cirucci started asking questions, but contrary to their expectations, Mayuri just simply answered as he typed away on the terminal, "It's because I don't trust her."

They were surprised that Mayuri simply responded without an accompanying 'punishment'. However, they are not going to take their chances for a follow-up question and just silently evaluate what changed in them.

'Of course, I'm not going to show them to her. Not when I'm finalizing and stabilizing their bodies.' Mayuri continued to narrate to himself. Although Kisuke started this whole problem, Mayuri agreed to his views and didn't mind the change that was about to come. However, what he didn't like is the fact that Kisuke is trying to put the Soul Society, or more specifically, the Gotei 13 under his wings.

Mayuri knew that Kisuke had a good reason as he was aware that he was someone whose desire was far removed from control and ruling. But that doesn't mean he'll let him be. Hence, he adjusted the physical bodies that he was giving to the members of the Gotei 13 to make sure that he could get away from most of Kisuke's influence.

Of course, Mayuri also didn't have the ambition to rule since his desire lies in knowledge and creating, similar to Kisuke. This is the reason why the whole of the Gotei 13 trusts that Mayuri won't tamper with their bodies and would allow him to use them however they want despite his normal behavior.

'We'll cooperate, but I won't allow the giant behind him to eat us up.' Mayuri thought to himself. Soon enough, the stabilization of the Captains and Lieutenants came to an end and started waking them up, 'It's a shame I can't do the same for Soifon... But I guess it doesn't really matter.'

Serafall went over the controls and monitors. After making sure that everything and everyone was functioning normally and would have no problem, she passed the authority to the Humans and Shinigami coordinating the attacks, "Call me if there's an emergency."

With a brief farewell, Serafall left and returned to their original base to check upon Ophis' progress.

Upon reaching the isolated space, Serafall immediately noticed that there were only four people left in the mansion and one of them surprised her, "Lilith?" She muttered loudly in a pleasantly surprised voice.

She immediately honed in on their position and also found out that all of them were in the same room.

As the people within the mansion knew of her arrival, Serafall didn't knock and just directly opened the door to a wide saloon where the four people were calmly drinking some warm tea.

The people who don't know them would see this as a pleasant and warm gathering, but those who knew them would have a heart attack if not outright faint.

Sitting on the round table were Ophis, Lilith, Aizen, and finally a blindfolded Yhwach with black metallic bracelets on his wrists.

Serafall was someone who saw this lineup as 'normal' so she just cheerfully walked up to them and immediately greeted Lilith, "Li-chan~! You're back!"

Lilith turned to her and nodded with a smile, "Umu. I have returned."

"So you're not bothered by this?" Off to the side, Aizen asked after taking a sip of his tea, "I really can't fathom the mind of someone who'd willingly degrade themselves to this level." To someone who chased the existence of the 'ultimate being', he can't stand Ophis who willingly let go of her own powers just to give way to a mind that was born by accident.

Serafall picked up Lilith, sat on her seat, and started pampering her, "Of course not. And of course, you won't understand. You're someone who wants to surpass everyone and everything. You grew from a nobody to an overlord. Ophis, meanwhile, was an overlord who wanted a home. You two value vastly different ideas. She's not degrading herself."

"Hmmm... That's true." Aizen, naturally, understood this. Despite that, he hated something that goes against his own belief and his opinion wouldn't easily change just because someone proved it.

Serafall knew that talking to him about this was useless so he turned to now fully regenerated and blindfolded Yhwach, "How was the seal?"

"Impeccable." Yhwach answered in his rough voice, "I'm still trying to figure out how this is working."

"Ah, I'm curious about it too." Aizen's interest was also piqued, "As far as I know, his eyes are just a representation of his abilities. Just blocking anything that enters it shouldn't have done anything to render them useless."

Serafall contemplated it for a moment before speaking, "Well, we have a friend who has a problem turning others into stone whenever they look into her eyes. And similar to his eyes, her eyes are just a representation of that ability since even just recalling a memory of them in your mind will start the petrification process.

"It was slightly adjusted to fit your use case but that blindfold creates a separate mind space that traps your 'vision'. It's a barrier that traps you in another world."

The table became silent once again with a background noise of Ophis chewing on her banana cake.

A few seconds later, Yhwach smiled and started rubbing his beard, "I see... So instead of seeing the world, you're fooling my eyes by making them look at another thing that doesn't contain anything. Fascinating."

"There's also various Sealing and Security Magic laid on that blindfold so it won't be easy for you to remove it. You could probably overpower them using your Reiatsu, but that's what those cuffs are for." Serafall snapped her fingers and summoned various banana flavored snacks for Ophis and Lilith, "Enough of that. How are they doing?"

"They are doing fine." Aizen replied, "But before we go further into that, isn't it about time you tell us what you really want us to do?"
