Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō novel Chapter 494

Chapter 494: Chapter 494: Even the World Is Guilty?

"Lieutenant-sama, the elders of the Yomi Clan request an audience."

Hearing his subordinate’s report, Aizen, who had been reviewing documents in the Captain-Commander’s office, suddenly paused mid-sentence.

He frowned slightly, as if lost in thought.

Setting down his pen, he leaned back in his chair. After a moment of silence, he drew a deep breath, stood up, and made his way toward the reception room.

At the door, he pushed it open and stepped inside, taking a seat and waiting quietly.

Before long, an elderly man entered.

It was an old acquaintance—Kurenai Seijin, one of the Yomi Clan’s representatives, who had worked with the Gotei 13 on several occasions.

"Greetings, Your Excellency," Kurenai Seijin said with a bow.

Aizen nodded and asked,

"What brings the Yomi Clan here this time... is there another issue with Hell?"

Kurenai Seijin let out a sigh.

"Yes, Your Excellency. And it’s not just Hell—it involves Chief Judge Masatsuki as well."

"Though Hell has long been severed from the Three Realms, we’ve continued to monitor it."

"Just today, another disturbance occurred. We observed the situation and... saw the Chief Judge himself."

Aizen’s eye twitched slightly. He inwardly sighed—this wasn’t good.

"Take me there immediately."

...

Led by Kurenai Seijin, they made their way to the Yomi Clan’s territory.

Before they even arrived, a suffocating aura of Hell rushed to meet them.

In the distance, a massive gate to Hell hovered high in the air, connecting two completely different worlds.

Not far from the gate stood many members of the Yomi Clan, their expressions solemn as they watched it.

Also present were numerous members from the Shinigami Research and Development Institute and the Kidō Corps.

Unlike the other great noble families, the Yomi Clan showed no interest in Seireitei’s power shifts, as if such matters didn’t concern them.

However, Seireitei had once faced a major crisis from Hell’s invasion, and as protectors of the world, the Gotei 13 could not simply stand by and leave everything to the Yomi Clan.

"Lieutenant-sama, please come this way. From here, you can see inside Hell."

Kurenai Seijin led Aizen aside and gestured for him to follow.

Aizen stepped forward and stood before a screen displaying the scene.

As he focused on the screen, his eyes narrowed.

Above was an endless radiance, below a boundless surface of water. Nothing else existed—the boundary between heaven and earth had blurred, and time and space had lost all meaning.

Everything here felt both illusory and unnervingly real. That Creator God really was a slacker...

Masatsuki Aozaki looked up. No sound, no energy fluctuation—Hell’s massive will had vanished silently, as if it had never appeared.

There was no response from his senses at all.

Masatsuki frowned.

With Hell’s will gone, this pale world felt even more desolate and cold.

He stood silently, as if asleep between a lonely heaven and an empty earth.

Time was indiscernible. His once-fiery heart seemed to sink into the monotony of this world.
