Chapter 241: Question: Can Omniscience and Omnipotence reverse the heat death of the universe?
After Furuoki Ōtogawa's Bankai was released, the absorbed luck naturally returned to Yamabuki's body.
Yamabuki took a deep breath.
Excellent, all thirteen of the original Gotei 13 Captains were finally assembled.
Afterward, Yamabuki took Furuoki Ōtogawa to complete his onboarding procedures.
A Captain's onboarding was a big deal, so it naturally needed to be personally approved by Captain-Commander Yamamoto.
On the way back, they happened to run into Unohana, who was off duty.
After explaining the situation, Unohana could only go home first to prepare dinner.
Yamabuki brought Furuoki Ōtogawa to the First Division Barracks.
As it turned out, there was still another person in Captain-Commander Yamamoto's room.
Yamabuki observed the guest in Captain-Commander Yamamoto's room.
This was a middle-aged man of about forty, smiling and looking very kind, currently speaking with Captain-Commander Yamamoto.
Seeing Yamabuki arrive, he quickly stood up and bowed slightly.
"Chief of Staff, long time no see," the middle-aged man said with a smile.
Yamabuki showed a polite yet awkward smile.
"Who are you, big brother? Have we met before? Can you not be so overly familiar?"
Captain-Commander Yamamoto seemed to realize that Yamabuki didn't recognize the middle-aged man, so he introduced him from the side: "This is Mr. Honda, a high-ranking noble of the Seireitei. Oh, and that mountain you blew up earlier was Mr. Honda's property."
Yamabuki's face was full of bitterness.
"Can we please not bring that up again? I worked so hard, and after three months of work, I didn't earn a single penny and ended up owing twenty years' worth of salary. Capitalists of later generations would cry themselves to death!"
Mr. Honda chuckled and said, "Actually, I came here this time for the compensation matter as well."
Yamabuki's face was filled with an awkward smile.
If it really came to it, he would still choose to kill them to silence them. As long as the creditor was gone, his debts would naturally be dismissed.
He truly was a genius!
Just then, Mr. Honda said with a smile, "Actually, I didn't come here to ask for money. I wanted to tell the Chief of Staff that you don't necessarily have to repay those compensation fees you owe me..."
Yamabuki suddenly looked up, gripped his hand with excitement, and said, "You truly are a good person!"
Mr. Honda gave an awkward laugh twice, then said, "Chief of Staff, don't be so happy yet. Although I said the money doesn't need to be repaid, I still need to give an explanation to my family."
Yamabuki coughed lightly to calm himself down: "Then what do you think should be done?"
"I know the Chief of Staff has a clothing factory, and its business is very popular. How about our two families joining forces? I'd like to invest," Mr. Honda said.
Yamabuki's eyebrows raised slightly. "So you were waiting for me here, kid."
His clothing store's business was indeed booming, attracting many envious eyes. Moreover, the Seireitei was quite large in area, and his small clothing store couldn't possibly monopolize all the business.
Joint development was a necessary path for the future, but at the moment, all of Yamabuki's attention was on the bloody battle a few months later.
"I have no problem on my end. However, I only hold half of the clothing factory's shares; the other half is with the Tsunayashiro Family. If you truly want to invest, perhaps we can find an opportunity for all three parties to sit down and discuss it slowly. There's no rush right now," Yamabuki said.
Mr. Honda laughed heartily: "With the Chief of Staff's words, I'm relieved. Well, Captain-Commander Yamamoto, if you two have something to discuss, please take your time. I won't disturb you any further."
With that, he bowed to the two and then left the First Division Barracks.
Captain-Commander Yamamoto looked at Yamabuki and sighed silently. This kid always caused him trouble.
"Alright, you came to see me in the middle of the night. What's the matter?" Captain-Commander Yamamoto said.
Yamabuki introduced Furuoki Ōtogawa, who was beside him, to Captain-Commander Yamamoto and briefly explained Furuoki Ōtogawa's general situation.
Captain-Commander Yamamoto looked at the effeminate young assassin in front of him and nodded slightly.
Now, the entire Gotei 13 only had Squad Thirteen without a leader. Furuoki Ōtogawa was sent to the Tenth Division to serve as a provisional Captain.
With this, all the members of the original Gotei 13 were finally assembled.
It was also time to formally promote these provisional Captains.
"Yamabuki, notify the entire squad tomorrow. All members must attend. If there are no objections, all thirteen provisional Captains will be formally promoted starting tomorrow," Captain-Commander Yamamoto said.
Yamabuki had been waiting for this day for who knows how long. All the SSRs were finally assembled.
Yhwach, come on!
Coupled with the newly modified shinigami garb and his own inclusion, the Gotei 13 would definitely be stronger than in the original world line.
The only thing that remained uncertain now was the upper limit of Yhwach's Omniscience and Omnipotence.
Yamabuki had a conjecture when he watched the anime before, which was that the power of Omniscience and Omnipotence might be related to one's own abilities.
The true power of Omniscience and Omnipotence was to foresee the future and change it.
In other words, all future timelines were related to the inherent abilities of the person using Omniscience and Omnipotence.
At the end of Bleach, the reason Yhwach was able to cut down gods and Buddhas was largely because eating the Soul King greatly boosted his power!
If Yhwach and Orihime Inoue's abilities were swapped.
The Rejection Power controlled by Yhwach might become the strongest, unbreakable shield.
And even if Orihime Inoue could foresee the future, due to her insufficient inherent ability, she wouldn't be able to reverse facts unfavorable to herself.
Ultimately, no matter how abnormal an ability was, if one didn't possess sufficiently strong power, it was all for naught!
Another point was the upper limit of Omniscience and Omnipotence.
If tomorrow was the heat death of the universe, and the entire universe would fall into absolute silence, with light disappearing and energy flow stopping, could Omniscience and Omnipotence change this future of the end of the world?
Originally, the Soul Society only had one trump card, which was Yamamoto Genryusai, but now there was an additional trump card in Yamabuki, causing the win rate to soar.
Yamabuki's only hope was that Yhwach wouldn't undergo any kind of mutation; as long as he remained exactly as in the original work, failure was inevitable for him.
He wondered when Senjumaru Shutara's shinigami garb would be finished with modifications?
The only regret was that time was simply too short.
Yamabuki had also developed Wormhole abilities when researching Zanpakuto abilities before, but Wormhole abilities involved too many things.
Even if he worked diligently now, it would be impossible to mature this ability within five months.
He would wait until after the bloody battle when he had enough time.
But the biggest gain from coming to the First Division this time was that his twenty years of salary were secured.
His luck had returned.
After the squad meeting tomorrow, he would go to the factory and resolve all the pending issues.
