Szayelaporro's Spirit-Recording Insects were quite useful, similar to Mayuri Kurotsuchi's surveillance bacteria, allowing for real-time monitoring. Moreover, the insects could also collect data and intelligence on opponents, filling in any missing information.
Bai Yuetong utilized these insects, his Negación Threads, and his Fullbring ability to manipulate the souls of matter, combined with his Schrift's power of 'Share'. In addition to biological "cameras" like the insects, even inorganic matter such as air, water, and soil became his "eyes" and "ears," acting as his extended "tentacles."
To a certain extent, his monitoring of specific areas was even more convenient than the Eizōkyoku managed by the Tsunayashiro clan. With such surveillance methods, Bai Yuetong, much like Aizen, Gin, Urahara, Yhwach, and the Monk before him, would occasionally check in on what Ichigo Kurosaki was doing.
After all, Ichigo's innate power destined him to be the focus of everyone's attention—to be used, eliminated, or lured away. In short, no one could ignore his bottomless potential and unparalleled strength.
However, this was rather agonizing for Rukia. Bai Yuetong projected holographic images of Ichigo's helpless and fragile state at Ikumi Unagiya's house, as well as her brother Byakuya Kuchiki's unconscious, critically injured form in the hospital, right in front of her.
This subjected Rukia to immense torment. Heartache, worry, pain, a sense of immorality, shame, pleasure, shyness, desire, fear... countless complex emotions swirled together in an instant, subjecting her to extreme stimulation in a short period.
Finally, unable to bear the humiliation, Rukia's eyes rolled back and she fainted, her soul seemingly ascending to the heavens.
…
After his death, Gin Ichimaru was buried in Hanakare, District 62 of the East Rukongai, the place where he and Rangiku had first met. The grave was built with Rangiku's personal funds.
Although from the outcome, his actions had brought a good result for the Soul Reapers, the process was undoubtedly evil. Therefore, the Seireitei did not permit his grave to be built within its walls.
Because of this, Gin Ichimaru had, in a way, escaped a certain fate. Without a captain's funeral, he would not be sent to Hell by his Soul Reaper colleagues, but could rest in peace in Rukongai.
After having his fun with Rukia and the others, Bai Yuetong did not continue to indulge himself. Instead, he came to Hanakare, Gin Ichimaru's burial place.
Bai Yuetong knew that spiritual particles of the 3rd Spiritual Class and above could not naturally decompose and return to the soil of Soul Society. So, Gin was dead, but not completely dead.
At least, until a powerful Quincy used the power of 'Sklaverei' to decompose and forcibly subordinate all of Gin's spiritual particles in the grave, Gin was not truly gone.
Whether resurrected as a zombie or through 'Gabriel', as long as he wasn't completely disintegrated or sent to Hell by a Soul Reaper's Konso, there was still a possibility of being resurrected.
The reason Szayelaporro's resurrection method failed, even leading to the creation of the clone Cien, was because of his grave sins.
At that time, after being defeated by Mayuri's deus ex machina Superhuman Drug and then stabbed to death, a crucial part of his spiritual particles was directly sucked into Hell. Only his corpse was left behind to be made into a specimen by Mayuri. With his main body already in Hell, his original resurrection methods naturally failed.
Of course, Bai Yuetong was not here to resurrect Gin Ichimaru. He was here to profit from the dead, to scrape some benefits from Gin's corpse. Whether it was to further strengthen his own Soul Reaper power or to obtain his soul data to recreate Kamishini no Yari in the future, it was a wonderful thing.
During the period when Ichigo had lost his powers, Roka had been able to use her Negación Threads to download the data of Mugetsu from within his body. So, even if Gin was dead, corresponding traces would surely remain deep within his soul. Therefore, even without his Zanpakutō, Bai Yuetong could still obtain the data for Shinsō and its Bankai, Kamishini no Yari.
The truly one-hit-kill Kamishini no Yari was a rare and powerful technique in this world.
Moreover, the fragment of Kamishini no Yari left inside the enemy's body was like a secretion; the Bankai itself was not damaged and could gradually recover. This meant that Kamishini no Yari had no usage limit, at most a cooldown period if used too much in a short time.
It was like being over-exhausted in a short period, running out of ammunition, not a single drop left. At that time, one needed to stop for a while and wait for the ammunition depot to be refilled. The adult innuendos in the work of Bleach were truly everywhere.
Bai Yuetong did not violently break open Gin's grave. He simply walked to the front of the grave, inserted his hand into the earth, and felt Gin's residual spiritual particles.
There was no need to use the Usurping Altar. The dead could not refuse his request to 'share'. Naturally, everything Gin had left behind became his property.
"This feels really good," Bai Yuetong looked at his strong hand and sighed. "Fortunately, this guy died early. If he were still alive and on the side of the Soul Reapers, I would have been on edge throughout this war."
The power, range, and speed of Kamishini no Yari, as well as its high-strength dissolving poison, were basically a death sentence for ordinary Quincy if they were even grazed by it.
Even a survival master like Askin would be instantly killed upon his first encounter with it if he hadn't prepared by absorbing a large amount of Gin's spiritual pressure beforehand.
But now, the power of this venomous snake belonged to him. It was others who should be afraid.
However, speaking of poison, what Bai Yuetong wanted to collect most was actually the silver blood clot.
The "silver" that appeared due to the Auswählen was called the "Silver of Stagnation." Once mixed with the blood of the Auswählen's user, it would cause all of that person's abilities to disappear in an instant.
Therefore, the Silver of Stagnation was a major counter to Yhwach. It couldn't kill him on its own, but it could put him in a weakened state where he couldn't use any abilities to evade damage, creating a perfect opportunity to kill him.
He just didn't know if the silver blood clot was a one-time thing, ineffective after Yhwach experienced it once, or if it could be used to silence him every time.
However, he had no access to the silver blood clot now. He might as well continue to wander around Rukongai. Bai Yuetong planned to first go to District 76, Gyōkaku, to check out the shrine of the one-eyed god and see if he could download any residual data traces of the Soul King's arm.
Then, he would go find Kūkaku Shiba. The bloodline of the Shiba clan, one of the five great noble families of the Soul Reapers, was something he had to taste. And her Flower Crane Cannon was a special device that could launch the Tenchūren to the Soul King Palace; its structure was worth studying.
But most importantly, Kūkaku Shiba had taken in Kugo Ginjo, Shūkurō Tsukishima, and Giriko Kutsuzawa, a few Fullbringers. Among them, Tsukishima's Fullbring was something Bai Yuetong was determined to obtain.
Possessing the 'Book of the End', the ability to insert himself into the past, would greatly increase his capital against Yhwach on one hand, and on the other hand, it could quickly complete certain research or accumulations.
Tsukishima's ability was ridiculously powerful. For example, by inserting himself into the past of the ground, adding a past where he had planted a tree there for many years, a towering tree would rise from the ground out of thin air.
If such an ability were used by someone with scientific research capabilities, once enough intelligence was collected on the battlefield, they could immediately insert a past where they had studied a certain thing, and immediately pull out countermeasures and research products against the enemy.
And as it happened, the current Bai Yuetong already had the research talent and knowledge accumulation of Kisuke Urahara. So, the Book of the End was his for the taking!
