ALL NOVEL Chapter 73 – Omnipotent Five Sights
The "Garganta" used by Hollows entering the Human World or Soul Society is a kind of "instinctive" use of spatial abilities by Hollows.
Kisuke Urahara was able to analyze the spatial power within the "Garganta" and created the Senkaimon, truly deserving to be the most intelligent Shinigami.
Because the Senkaimon created by Kisuke Urahara belonged to "smuggling", there were no safety guarantees. It was very likely to encounter spatial storms or time distortions like the "Kōtotsu" while passing through the spatial tunnel.
However, while those things posed dangers for ordinary Shinigami, for Ailin's group they were things that could be casually dismissed with a wave of the hand.
"Let's go, everyone. After all, something like a Gigai can only exist in the real world. The Soul Society is merely a dwelling place for souls, Gigais cannot exist there."
"Mm, let's go." Ailin nodded in agreement.
After speaking, Ailin slipped his arm around Haruko Kuchiki's waist and carried her as he followed behind Kisuke Urahara into the Senkaimon.
"Oh?"
Upon just entering the Senkaimon, Ailin felt the space under his feet give out and his heart stirred. Spirit particles under his feet condensed, stabilizing his body and continuing to follow behind Kisuke Urahara.
"Oh my, I'm really sorry Captain Ailin. I just forgot to tell you earlier that because of time constraints, I haven't finished laying down the spatial passageway here, I could only use Spirit Particles to pave a path."
However, as Kisuke Urahara turned back after speaking those words, he discovered that contrary to what he imagined where Ailin would have fallen beneath him, Ailin's position was actually higher than his own.
"Such a cautious guy..." Kisuke Urahara was slightly shocked inwardly.
One had to know, Urahara had intentionally left the passageway in this Senkaimon unfinished. On one hand, he was trying to play a trick on Ailin. It was also meant as another test of Ailin.
Upon entering this Senkaimon, because there was no stable spatial passageway under their feet, people would fall down until they realized to condense spirit particles under themselves to form a foothold, then they could steadily advance towards the exit.
Kisuke Urahara knew this well, which was why he immediately condensed Spirit Particles under his feet to stand right after entering the Garganta.
Yet Ailin's current position in the spatial passageway was higher than his own, proving that Ailin either possessed exceptional instincts in responding to unexpected situations, or he had made preparations to deal with all kinds of circumstances from the very start.
What a troublesome guy!
Although his evaluation of Ailin was already quite high, after this test of stepping into the Senkaimon, Ailin's weight in Kisuke Urahara's heart grew even heavier.
"It's fine, whether there's a spatial passageway or not makes no difference to me." Ailin carrying Haruko didn't react much to Kisuke Urahara's sneak attack.
Before Haruko entered the Gigai and became a true "person", Ailin had no intention of doing anything to Kisuke Urahara. Haruko's health took first priority!
The three people moved quickly, and with no "unexpected incidents" encountered midway, they crossed through the space between the two Senkaimons in just a few dozen seconds and charged out from the other end that emanated a white glow.
"Where is this place?"
Right after exiting the Senkaimon, Ailin immediately knew that they had arrived in the real world.
However, what surprised Ailin was that this place's layout was extremely similar to Kisuke Urahara's underground base in Soul Society. It was mostly spacious, seemingly like a training area.
And...
Ailin looked up. Blue skies, white clouds, the rising sun...
The craftsmanship of this "Sky Canopy" probably only Sōsuke Aizen of the 5th Division Vice Captain could compare with Kisuke Urahara.
"Haruko, this is the real world. However, this should be Kisuke Urahara's secret base in the real world. Our Gigais should be right here."
"Oh my, I feel like Captain Ailin seems rather familiar with me. Just not sure if I still have any secrets left in Captain Ailin's eyes."
"Who knows?"
Faced with Kisuke Urahara's verbal probing once more, Ailin only smiled without giving a direct response.
Following behind Kisuke Urahara, after a short while, the few people went up some stairs and entered a small wooden hut above ground.
Lying on the bed in the room were two Gigais that resembled life-sized dolls.
"Captain Ailin, Miss Kuchiki, here are the Gigais I produced for you two these past three months. The one on the left is Captain Ailin's Gigai, while the one on the right is Miss Kuchiki's Gigai.
Once your souls enter the Gigais, the Gigais will modify themselves to completely fuse with your souls. You just need to lie down on them."
Although Haruko was only a step away from possessing a body that could completely cure the symptoms of her soul's deterioration, she didn't immediately enter the Gigai and instead looked at Ailin.
Haruko wasn't stupid. Although she was very grateful towards Captain Yoruichi and 3rd Seat Urahara for treating her while Ailin was away over that half year, from Ailin and Yoruichi's occasional conversations after Ailin returned, Haruko understood that Ailin must have paid some price for Captain Yoruichi and 3rd Seat Urahara to treat her illness.
"Ailin..."
"Wait for a bit, Haruko."
Under Haruko and Urahara's gazes, ripples that resembled a water's surface emanated in the space before Ailin. A Zanpakuto hilt flew out from amidst the ripples and was caught in Ailin's hand.
"Bankai – Omnipotent Five Sights!"
In an instant, the Zanpakuto in Ailin's hand transformed into a gem shaped like an eye that adhered onto Ailin's forehead, seemingly giving Ailin a third eye.
This weapon was created by Ailin based on the abilities to manipulate the five senses from Sosuke Aizen's Zanpakuto Kyoka Suigetsu's.
Its prototype was the Teigu from a certain healing masterpiece in Akame Ga Kill Anime.
After being reforged by Ailin into a Zanpakuto, its Shikai "Observer" allowed wielding one of fives kinds of abilities - Insight, Clairvoyance, X-Ray Vision, Future Sight, and Phantom Vision.
Its Bankai " Omnipotent Five Sights " then allowed complete control over all five visual abilities.
Although Ailin felt that under the current circumstances, it was unlikely for Kisuke Urahara to have tampered with their Gigais, Ailin naturally wouldn't skimp on making his own checks. He wouldn't entrust his and Haruko's lives solely to Urahara's goodwill.
In order to investigate more thoroughly, Ailin directly activated this Zanpakuto's Bankai, unleashing Insight, X-Ray Vision, Future Sight to their maximum effects.
Seeing the faint glows within Ailin's pupils, Kisuke Urahara understood that this was Ailin using his Zanpakuto abilities to inspect the Gigais.
Fortunately, after seeing how cautious Ailin was when stepping through the Senkaimon earlier, the two Gigais Kisuke Urahara took out were completely untouched.
Ailin's gaze swept over the two Gigais several times before indeed not discovering any contingencies left behind by Kisuke Urahara. Only then did he give Haruko a nod.
