Chapter 8

Funfact;

"According to Tite Kubo, it is possible for Ichigo and the Visored to use both Bankai and Ressureccion while they're Hollowified."

Hmmm.

After ten minutes, Soi Fon arrived at the end of the pathway and immediately found herself standing on the sky and looking down on a modern city not unlike those of the World of Living.

She looked behind her and the portal closed almost as immediately as she went out, but didn't pay it any mind.

After a moment of thought, Soi Fon decide to feel if there's any powerful individual in this city …she found none.

Majority of them feel 'human', while some felt similar to a 'hollow', while others having some form of similarity to the late Captain Komamura's Reiatsu.

Well, they weren't Reiatsu, she can tell that much.

After pondering for a moment, she decided to descend down in an alleyway and used Shunpo to avoid being seen.

After a moment, she came out of the alleyway and found herself in a busy street, with people - humans, she guessed - were busy doing their thing.

She tried talking to some of them, but they apparently can't perceive her.

So that made her job of being as undetected as possible so much easier.

All he needs to do now is to follow some 'powerful' beings and find out more about this world …and bring some specimens for Mayuri if she have the time.

Soi Fon walked uninterrupted on the streets, deeply lost in thought on where should she start investigating.

'Well, I guess following those relatively below mediocre presence is the best shot I go in obtaining info about this world.…or I could use the Internet if they have it, thank god Ichigo taught me all about that.'

Soul Society already has a reishi-equivalent of internet after Ichigo seek to modernize it.

However, just as Soi Fon was about to do her mission, someone had 'bumped' into her, causing them to stumble and fall while Soi Fon merely furrowed her brows in annoyance.

"That hurts …What was that?"

Soi Fon looked at the boy, brown hair with average features, who fell down on the ground after bumping into her.

That should be impossible …no ordinary people can perceive her existence, much less touch her unless she deliberately try to interact with the material world.

"Hey Issei, what are you doing?" A bald young man walked towards the brown haired young man who bumped into Soi Fon.

"This …I feel like I hit something and fell." Said the brunette, Issei.

"There's nothing there," said a young man with glasses, "Maybe you just tripped and fell. Anyways, get up, or we won't be able to get the Love-Love Domination Academy 2 limited edition."

"Y-You're right! Let's go!"

With that, the three young men hurried on their way as Soi Fon watched as their backs disappeared from her sight.

'Just now,' Soi Fon narrowed her eyes, 'That feeling …it's comparable to an Espada during the Winter War. That boy has that much power hidden in his soul? But he couldn't even see me?'

Soi Fon pondered for a moment before deciding to follow the boy.

And she couldn't help but want to curse herself for even thinking that this was a good idea. The boy was a pervert, worst than even Kisuke —and that's saying something, for her, no one's worse than Kisuke.

The boy keep shouting about being a Harem King and how he want to touch some boobs, and seems to be getting turned on by those anime girls and games that he had bought.

Weird. But Soi Fon has seen weirder. You get plenty of experience with weird things due to being colleagues with someone like Mayuri.

She was glad Ichigo wasn't like that, because she swore if he was …well, she's not really going to do anything about it, she couldn't even hate him.

She's bias, bite her.

By the Soul King, she's such an easy girl.

Of course she wasn't just thinking about those stuff while observing the boy, she had also been trying to figure out what is up with the boy's soul that it radiates so much power.

And she did figure out something.

The boy's soul hold something of great power. It wasn't a match for the current her, but definitely strong.

It's similar to a Zanpakuto, but at the same time it's similar feeling as if someone just put something on his soul similar to the Hogyoku in Rukia's body.

She can take it out, she did learn the method used by Aizen to take the Hogyoku from Rukia's body before the Winter War, as a trump card to take away the Hogyoku from Aizen if an opportunity arises.

Unfortunately, she didn't get the chance to use it. And the Aizen of this time has already fused with Hogyoku and it cannot be taken from him, and even if he hasn't, Aizen is just too powerful for the technique to affect him.

Not to mention he and Ichigo seems to have become quite close, with Ichigo sometimes visiting him in Muken.

Well, Soi Fon once accompanied Ichigo during his visit, and Aizen wasn't that bad. He seems to be on friendly terms with Ichigo at the very least.

"Should I do it?" Soi Fon wondered out loud as the boy went to pay for his purchases, "Mayuri should be satisfied with this …"

However, as Soi Fon was about to take action, she noticed the surrounding space began to distort and immediately pulled out her Zanpakuto.

'An enemy? Was I detected?'

As the space regained its calm, Soi Fon found herself on the sky, and frowned, 'A sub-space? Though with such a low quality, I could break this just by releasing my Reiatsu.'

She wasn't joking. Once your Reiatsu reached Captain level, you can bend gravity just by releasing it. A stronger one is even capable of distorting or even tearing apart space, such as Kenpachi and Grimmjow.

Even as an Espada, Grimmjow was powerful enough to distort space and time from firing Gran Ray Cero, and now he was far stronger. Just his release would bend gravity to the point it would affect space and time.

And that's not mentioning the destructiveness that the Zero Squad holds. A release of their Reiatsu was so powerful a mere fraction of it can shake Three Realms.

"Foreign god, I believe the Divine Treaty is still in effect. No foreign deities are to trespass in another pantheon's territory, why have you come? Are you preparing to declare war on us?"

Soi Fon stared at the young woman who appeared in front of her, having short dark brown hair with matching eyes, wearing a bright clear kimono and holding a katana.

'What did she say?' Soi Fon blinked, 'Since when did I become a god?'

Honestly, she has a large misconception about gods. Because when she thought of gods, her mind would immediately think of a massively powerful and nigh-omnipotent being and not someone who just happen to govern some authority of the world.

When she thinks of gods, then it can only be either Aizen or Ichigo. Powerful beings strong enough to actually threaten the balance of the universe just by their presence.

Soi Fon is strong, but not that strong.

"Hm?" The woman narrowed her eyes, "…No, you're a spirit close to a divine? And this feeling …you have connection to my land? No, it's the same, but different. Just …what are you?"

Soi Fon remained silent, 'fucking Kisuke, and he said this cloak is full proof! You really can't believe the words of that sleazy bastard!'

A hundred percent Reiatsu concealment cloak he said, well fuck him too!

If Soi Fon could, she would head straight to the King's Palace and shove this cloak down that man's backside!

"Strange. You are not born under my 'sun', I can tell that much. But you are certainly related to my Pantheon …" the woman frowned, "…Can we talk? I would like to know more about how you came to be."

Soi Fon thought for a moment, before nodding. "…If you answer some of my questions, then fine. We can talk."

The woman nodded, before waving her hand and a giant tori gate appeared behind her, "This is not an appropriate place for a conversation, follow me."

Soi Fon frowned, rubbing the bracelet given to her while observing the woman.

Not that strong. At most she should be at the level of a Lieutenant who has yet to achieve Bankai.

Soi Fon doesn't know if this woman can still get stronger, but even if she multiply her strength ten times she would still be a Lieutenant level, well a Lieutenant who achieved Bankai, but Lieutenant nonetheless.

After all, Bankai multiply a Soul Reaper's strength by five to ten times.

And this woman words implied that she is the ruler of this place, so that means nine out of ten she is the strongest. If this is the strongest person they got, then Soi Fon doesn't need to worry.

'Oh well, I'll get that kid later, for now I need to gather some intel.'

With that, she followed the woman through the portal.
