Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō novel Chapter 496

Chapter 496: Chapter 496: Lord of the Gods (Final Chapter!)

Ten years later in Seireitei, the overlapping daylight fell as always, bathing the world in endless radiance.

And yet, the world that once collided so violently now seemed to have vanished—or perhaps it lingered, always just out of sight.

Inside his office, Aizen was focused on writing when he suddenly paused and looked out the window, a trace of confusion flickering in his eyes.

He slowly accepted the cup of hot tea handed to him by his secretary, took a light sip, and sank into brief contemplation.

For someone with his exceptional perceptive abilities, the fusion of the worlds was no secret—but even so, it left him feeling vaguely uneasy.

Despite that, the world continued to thrive, brimming with life and vitality.

Hell’s integration hadn’t caused major upheavals, but people had begun to sense that many things had subtly shifted.

The gears of fate continued their relentless turn, bringing about the most profound changes in the relationships between worlds.

Soul Society and Hueco Mundo had fully merged into an entirely new Spirit World.

Together with the World of the Living and Hell, they now formed a new Three Worlds Order.

From then on, the three realms no longer relied on the fragile Dangai for connection, nor did they need to uphold each other to maintain balance.

They had grown more autonomous—yet remained interlinked.

Much like Seireitei and the Wandenreich once were, existing in separate spaces but overlapping, connected through Reishi.

Under the new world order, human souls no longer needed Shinigami to guide them. The innocent were directly sent to the Spirit World; the guilty, cast straight into Hell.

The number of souls in the World of the Living declined, and with them, the number of Hollows—but neither vanished completely.

Wherever hearts exist, emotions are bound to follow. One day might feel full of joy and peace; the next, hollow and empty.

Even in the Spirit World, emotions endure—so Hollows will never truly disappear. That’s when the Shinigami must step in and fulfill their role.

Over time, more and more souls flowed into the Spirit World, throwing themselves into reclaiming barren lands and building new homes with great enthusiasm.

The once-dominant noble lords who had oppressed them were now relegated to history.

Not entirely wiped out—after all, their ties to the supreme ruler were deeply entangled—but their former supremacy had completely crumbled.

Still, while the Spirit World and the World of the Living retained echoes of the past, Hell had been wholly reshaped in the image of the new god.

At this thought, Aizen frowned slightly. He looked up toward the distant sky.

Through the rifts in space-time, one could vaguely glimpse a realm unlike any other.

It was the divine realm—the home of the new god and goddesses. A place that existed within the Three Worlds, yet remained separate from them.

"I wonder how that guy’s doing up there?"

"He’s probably having the time of his life, Your Honor. Isn’t that exactly the kind of life he always dreamed of?"

"Grand Wise Man Ichimaru, that girl was sent up, right?"

Aizen slowly turned his head, lips curling into a faint smile as he looked at Gin Ichimaru.

"Yeah. Sent Riruka up last night. She looked pretty happy about it."

"Well, becoming a goddess of the new world—that’s quite the honor."

"True, but still, that guy just can’t stay put in the divine realm. He just had to come down here to flirt with young girls."

"If the day ever comes when he stops doing that, that’s when we’ll really need to worry."

"You’ve got a point," Gin Ichimaru nodded.

If he’s still like this, at least it means Masatsuki Aozaki hasn’t changed.

An unhinged god is dangerous—especially when every little thing he does can shake the balance of the world. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The first Judge turned out to be a slacker who ran off to play god up in the heavens, abandoning his post. Someone had to step up to lead.

After the world underwent a massive transformation and the nobility stepped off the stage of history, the Central 46 Compound reformed its selection system. Wise Men and Judges now came from all walks of life and social classes.

With unanimous support, Aizen took his seat at the top of the Three Worlds’ power structure, grumbling about how his best friend had set him up—"You guys are seriously putting me through hell!"

Gin Ichimaru was appointed Grand Wise Man.

Gotta admit, working with smart people is way more comfortable.

Not like back when a certain idiot was in charge, didn’t lift a finger, and left all the work to his assistant—until the guy practically worked himself to death.
