Playing With Other Supernaturals Chapter 1277 The Black Giant

Chapter 1277 The Black Giant

Located at the center of the Seireitei, Serafall arrived on top of the Soukyoku Hill where she’ll be overseeing the ‘migration’ with some people.

Aizen who was standing beside Claire couldn’t help but smile and reminisce as he looked around, ‘This is where it all started and to think this is where it’ll end… How fitting.’

Along with the three of them, the other present people are the current Captain Commander, Shunsui Kyouraku, the former Captain Commander, Genryuusai Yamamoto, the Captain of the 12th Division, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the three members of the Zero Division, Tenjirou Kirinji, Ouetsu Nimaiya, Senjumaru Shutara, and finally the other girls, Tanis Belial, and Kunou.

“Was everyone given their bodies?” Serafall asked Mayuri.

“Not quite.” Mayuri gave an answer while still looking at his tablet, browsing through the data he was receiving in real-time, “Those who came from Hell came quite late, though instead of giving bodies, I’m converting their bodies made out of Magic into Spiritual type. That way, they’ll be pulled in too with whatever reincarnation system that’s in place.

“There are also some who are still in the incubating state, but there should be no problem.” Mayuri then gave her a glance and asked, “What about the Human World?”

“It’s fine. The invasion has completely stopped so it’s just cleaning up what’s left.” Serafall answered while watching Claire close her eyes and concentrate all the Holy Power she could into her hands.

“By the way, what would happen if that were to fail? I don’t really like working on just a single plan.”

Serafall sighed and looked up, “We’ll have Flanna-chan, Ophis-chan, and Lilith-chan to open a path for us since they are the only ones with an innate connection to that world.”

“If they can do it, why have that child do it?” Yamamoto approached the two with other Shinigami behind him.

Serafall turned to him, “They can do it, but it’ll take some time and time isn’t exactly what we have right now since we don’t know how the situation would further develop. Another reason is that in Heaven, the ones who handle the reincarnation system are also the ones who control Holy Power and Faith. If the one who opens the path is one of their ‘members’, it’ll be easier to integrate the souls into that system.”

Truth be told, Kisuke and Serafall also planned to have Flanna, Ophis, and Lilith do the work of opening the path back for them, but the moment Gabriel showed herself, both of them changed their mind. Aizen, seemingly also noticing this point, opted to have Claire’s cooperation.

Mayuri saw that both Senjumaru and Tenjirou were making complicated faces and asked, “Still can’t accept that you’ll finally be relieved of your duty? Shouldn’t you be the happiest?”

Ouetsu chuckled at Mayuri’s words and said, “They are an old man and a hag who spent most of their lives stationed at their own posts. They are inflexible and stubborn like any other old fellas out there so don’t blame them too much. They just don’t know what they should do next.”

Tenjirou immediately clicked his tongue at Ouetsu, “And you’re too accepting of this.”

“Why not? No need for this artificial balancing that we’ve been doing right? It’s because you guys thought that this could go on forever that you can’t accept this change.”

Tenjirou immediately shut his mouth because he couldn’t refute Ouetsu’s words.

“Well, that’s probably right,” Senjumaru muttered. She had been thinking all of this to herself and no matter how much she twisted her own logic, there was no justifying what Ichibei was currently doing now, “I don’t know what he’s planning to do, but I do agree that we have to escape from him.”

“…” Tenjirou started scratching his head and sighed. All this time, it’s just his own pride working against him and even he is already realizing that this is a very childish thing to do, ‘So much for being an old man. We’ve been living in a tiny bubble so it doesn’t matter how long we’ve lived. In hindsight, Ouetsu who acts like a child all the time is probably the most mature one among us.’

At this moment, a bright light was suddenly released from Claire before a pillar of golden light rose up, piercing through the sky and into the unknown.

“Good. Now maintain that connection until the other side responds. Do not lose focus no matter what. Ignore everything that’s happening around you, even if the world is about to end.” Aizen instructed Claire while looking up.

Claire nodded while squinting her brows and sweat dripped on her face. She was surprised and wondered how Aizen could still joke around. However, she didn’t know that Aizen was very serious about it, ‘If Hyousube Ichibei’s goal is to really eat everything using those insects, then there’s no way he would stay still when the food on his plate is being snatched away.’

The beautiful pillar of golden light also released motes of light that rained down on the entire Seireitei, warming up the surroundings and giving everyone a satisfying feeling of calmness.

“Such a magnificent light,” Shunsui muttered to himself wishing that Nanao could also see it too.

However, this serene scene didn’t last when something tore through the space and crashed near everyone, kicking up dust everywhere.

Claire almost lost his focus but Aizen immediately reprimanded her.

Meanwhile, the rest pulled out their weapons and waited for the dust to settle down a bit to see what happened.

And upon recognizing the one who crashed, Serafall’s eyes instantly widened, “…Hestia…-chan?”

“Hestia?” Yamamoto repeated her words but didn’t let his guard down. Although Serafall recognizes the person, the aura she’s releasing is too dreadful and it’s hard to believe that this little lady is not hostile.

Of course, Serafall immediately noticed her difference from the original one and immediately said, “…I know her, but she’s not her. That’s a fake.” She also has the same opinion as Yamamoto but unlike him, other information is available to her, ‘She won’t be present here if not for Ki-chan… What is she?”

‘Hestia’ only gave them a glance before her apathetic eyes moved towards Claire and the golden light she was releasing.

She then closed her eyes and put her hands together as if praying as she released an iridescent light and golden flames around her. Unlike the aura she’s releasing, the flames surrounding her give a very contradictory feeling of security.

The group of Shinigami immediately pointed their weapons at her but Serafall blocked their way, “Wait!”

Serafall remembered something important regarding Hestia and it’s the fact that she can’t fight, “If she has the same ability… Then…”

Sadly, it wasn’t just ‘Hestia’ that was attracted by the light, but also something very sinister.

While everyone’s attention was focused entirely on ‘Hestia’ Aizen shuddered and with a surprised expression, he looked up. Without anyone noticing, gigantic jet-black arms dotted with eyes that had two pupils each were reaching out toward them from the Dimensional Gap.
