Sora arrived in Muken once again.
While testing Kakyō's Zanpakutō, he discovered that the Breath of the Underworld released by Enma actually contained spirit particles from Hell.
The dense Hell particles activated the "Voice from Hell," allowing Sora to unintentionally contact Saitō Furōfushi's grandmother, Saitō Seiko, again.
Saitō Seiko had asked for Sora's help in confirming something.
When Sora was creating the "Voice from Hell" in Muken previously, he had discovered the presence of Hell's spirit particles.
Therefore, they speculated that Muken might be connected to Hell.
Saitō Seiko was now trying to verify this theory.
Sora was also very interested in this, so he agreed to help.
"I've arrived in Muken," Sora said, sending a message to Seiko through the shell.
On the other side, in Hell, a turbulent river raged before Saitō Seiko.
The river was exceptionally wide; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as a lake.
In the center of the rushing water was a massive, incomparable vortex.
This giant vortex was known as "Hell's Eye."
There was a legend in Hell that if one could successfully enter the "Hell's Eye" in the desolate lands, they could travel to the three realms.
If Seiko were to pick a place that could possibly be connected to the Soul Society's Muken, the only place she could think of was this "Hell's Eye" vortex.
"Then let's begin the test," Saitō Seiko said, arriving in front of the vortex.
"Hell's Eye" was bottomless. It didn't take much thought to know that entering it directly would be extremely dangerous.
She planned to throw something in first to test it.
Saitō Seiko drew her Zanpakutō, which transformed into a giant pufferfish.
Like Retsu Unohana, Seiko possessed a rare biological-type Zanpakutō.
The pufferfish in the air quickly expanded to over ten meters wide. The color of its back was the same as its belly, pure white.
Its bloated white belly made it look like a giant white balloon.
The pufferfish opened its mouth, and some bizarre-looking Hell creatures were spat out.
If Katori Sora understood Seiko's abilities, he would find that they had similarities to Kakyō's.
Inside the pufferfish's belly was a unique spirit particle space that could suck creatures inside.
Furthermore, this space was shrouded in a black mist. This mist, just like the one released by Kakyō's Enma, was the Breath of the Underworld formed from the waters of the Underworld and had the ability to corrode the mind.
As a captain-class powerhouse, Seiko's use of the Breath of the Underworld far surpassed Kakyō's. She could even control creatures whose minds had been corroded by it.
The Hell creatures spat out by the pufferfish entered the "Hell's Eye" vortex.
For this test, Seiko had made preparations in advance, capturing many Hell creatures.
These creatures were native spiritual bodies of Hell. Hell, like the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, had its own independent ecosystem.
After entering the center of the vortex, the Hell creatures began to fall continuously.
These creatures were all controlled by Seiko's Breath of the Underworld, allowing her to observe the situation inside the vortex through them.
After falling continuously in the center of the vortex, the river water was no longer visible, as if they had entered a black hole.
Upon entering the pitch-black space, Seiko could no longer control the creatures' movements and could only let them fall freely. However, she could still see the interior of the black hole through them.
After a long time, Seiko saw a light source below through the eyes of the creatures she controlled.
She couldn't control their movement, but the direction of their fall was exactly towards the light source.
Seiko's perspective grew closer and closer to the light.
Soon, some of the Hell creatures arrived near the light source.
Through the creatures' perspective, Seiko could see the light source clearly.
It was a glowing cluster of text and symbols.
These glowing characters and symbols formed chains that were coiled into a ball of light.
"There's a spell formula inside the Hell's Eye vortex?!" Seiko said, surprised.
Her voice was transmitted to Sora through the shell, and he also learned of the scene inside the vortex.
"Can you identify the type of formula?" Sora asked.
For a Shinigami skilled in Kidō, identifying the type of a spell formula was a basic ability.
"It's still a bit far. I'll need to get closer to see it clearly," Seiko replied.
After the Hell creatures reached the vicinity of the light source, they seemed to fall into an orbit, circling the cluster of the spell formula.
There were also many rocks and debris that had been sucked into the vortex, all of which were now orbiting the light source.
Seiko soon observed that once the debris came within a few meters of the light source, it would be destroyed by an invisible force and broken down into Hell's spirit particles.
This left Seiko with very limited time. She had to identify the type of the spell formula before the creatures she controlled were disintegrated by the invisible force.
The Hell creatures under her control got closer and closer to the light. After circling it a few times, Seiko could finally see the text and symbols on the light source clearly.
"This should be some kind of sealing formula!" Seiko said, recognizing the characters and symbols.
The creatures' vision went black as a few of the first ones to enter the vortex were disintegrated into spirit particles by the invisible force emanating from the seal.
"It's a very complex formula. I'm afraid even the Grand Kidō Chief of the Soul Society's Kidō Corps couldn't create it!" Seiko continued to observe the sealing formula through the eyes of the other creatures.
"Can you see what is being sealed?" Sora asked.
"There's a spherical object inside... it looks a bit like an eye," Seiko said.
"Could the vortex have been named after this eye?" Sora frowned, thinking of the name of the place. "This eye is the 'Hell's Eye'?"
Sora had a feeling that this eye was related to the Lord of Hell, and it was even highly possible that it was the Lord of Hell's eye itself.
According to legend, a Lord of Hell once existed, but his whereabouts became unknown after he was defeated by the Soul King.
This sealed eye that Seiko had discovered could be the sealed remains of the Lord of Hell.
As Seiko and Sora pondered, the sealing formula showed new activity.
All the spiritual bodies and debris sucked into the dark space by the vortex were broken down into spirit particles containing Hell's aura upon approaching the seal.
As a result, the concentration of spirit particles in this dark space was extremely high.
Through the creatures' perspective, Seiko saw the characters and symbols on the sealing formula flare with light.
The dense red spirit particles, almost visible to the naked eye, formed a vortex of their own and converged on the sealing formula.
The sealing formula was absorbing the spirit particles in the dark space.
