Chapter 116 - Chapter 116: Rimuru and Kumoko

[Kumoko: "?"]

[Lumine: "?"]

[Uchiha Madara: "?"]

[Elaina: "?"]

...

The public chat was instantly flooded with question marks.

[World's No. 1 Princess: "Stop spamming. It's necessary to mute this newcomer, don't you think? @Aizen Sōsuke."]

[Aizen Sōsuke: "The Group Leader's actions naturally have a deeper meaning, and I will certainly support them."]

[World's No. 1 Princess: "Good, as long as you understand."]

[Aizen Sōsuke: "..."]

In Soul Society, a certain Fifth Division Captain, who had faked his death.

A black line appeared on his forehead.

After a moment of silence, he sent a message to the public chat.

[Aizen Sōsuke: "@World's No. 1 Princess, Group Leader, could you please tell me if the new group member is from the same world as me?"]

The "Soul Society's Strongest Meat Shield" who just joined the Chat Group, was actually calling Captain Aizen.

It was necessary to confirm with the Group Leader.

[Kumoko: "Eh, from the same world as Aizen Sōsuke? So, besides Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Sasuke, another group member from the same world has joined, huh?"]

[Kumoko: "I remember that when there are two group members from the same world, there are predetermined past and future projections to watch!"]

Upon realizing she could watch a new show, Kumoko immediately became interested.

[World's No. 1 Princess: "Indeed, the newcomer is from the same world as you @Aizen Sōsuke. As for past and future projections, @Kumoko, don't think about it for now."]

[Kumoko: "Eh?"]

[Aizen Sōsuke: "As expected."]

Looking at the messages on the Chat Group's public screen, Aizen fell into deep thought.

A moment later, he curled his lips into a smile again.

"The Group Leader wouldn't need to beat around the bush if she wanted to make a move against me."

Aizen chuckled self-deprecatingly.

He clicked on the profile of the group member from the same world as him.

Unfortunately, there wasn't even a profile picture, let alone a description; everything except the nickname was blocked.

"Who could it be?"

Excluding the possibility that the Group Leader wanted to eliminate him, what else mattered?

Aizen pondered, but then a possibility came to mind.

The Group Leader was showing the other party their future trajectory, allowing the new group member to gain an advantage.

It wasn't to eliminate him, Aizen Sōsuke. If the Group Leader wanted to act, there would be no need for such a roundabout approach.

Therefore, one could draw a conclusion.

The newly joined group member was likely weaker than him.

"Unimportant matters, the plan continues."

Let alone the weaker Shinigami in Soul Society, even Captain-Commander Yamamoto and the First Kenpachi, he wasn't particularly concerned.

He hadn't fought the First Kenpachi, so he wasn't sure who was stronger between them for now.

But even if Captain-Commander Yamamoto was stronger than the First Kenpachi, Aizen was confident he could escape unscathed.

After all, the entire Seireitei was under his control.

Of course, if it really were Captain-Commander Yamamoto or the First Kenpachi who joined the Chat Group, taking Tōsen Kaname and Ichimaru Gin with him might become quite difficult.

He was confident, but not arrogant.

He hadn't yet fused with the Hōgyoku, and his strength was only approaching the peak of a regular Shinigami.

However, from the signs, it seemed that the one who joined the Chat Group was most likely neither Captain-Commander Yamamoto nor the 4th Division's First Kenpachi.

"Captain Aizen, what are you thinking about?"

Ichimaru Gin, with a fox-like smile, stood beside Aizen, looking at him who had been silent for a long time, and couldn't help but feel curious.

"No, I'm just concerned about some interesting things, like the Ryoka," Aizen said calmly.

"The one named Kurosaki Ichigo?"

"Yes, before I leave, I also want to see the quality of my proud creation."

"Hehe, Captain Aizen, you truly have a twisted sense of humor," Ichimaru Gin chuckled. "However, I'm a bit curious, what did you write in that letter you left for your Vice Captain?"

"Captain Aizen cares so much about his Vice Captain, it must be a farewell message, right?" After Ichimaru Gin finished speaking, he lowered his voice, "Or something else, like a frame-up."

"It's nothing important, just some trivial everyday matters."

Aizen replied calmly.

His deep gaze looked into the distance.

And there, was the Central 46 Chambers Compound

"Let's go, Kaname, Gin. It's time to go to the place where all truths are buried."

...

Universe 10, God of Destruction Realm.

With the addition of two newcomers, Beryl intentionally shielded the information of one of them.

As for the reason, it was better left unsaid.

Let's just say she was quite interested in something in the Soul Society.

Provided that the new group member could pass the test.

If not?

She wasn't running a charity, so if they died, so be it.

With such a personality, they probably wouldn't live long anyway.

As for the storyline of Bleach, she did have it in her attachments.

A large bundle of projection videos related to "Bleach."

She would upload them later.

As for the other group member, the Slime named Rimuru.

The protagonist from "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime."

"Not long after devouring the Storm Dragon, then?"

"Hmm, no, the avatar is that of a blue-haired girl, so it should be a bit further along."

From the information Rimuru revealed in the Chat Group, Beryl roughly guessed his current time period.

He hadn't established the Jura Tempest Federation yet, probably not long after being at the Goblin settlement.

"Still very weak!"

No, after devouring the Storm Dragon, he wasn't weak anymore.

Speaking of which, Kumoko seemed to have met Rimuru.

Looking at the two adorable creatures, Kumoko and Rimuru, chatting happily in the group.

[World's No. 1 Princess: "@Rimuru @Kumoko, I remember you two should know each other."]

[Kumoko: "Huh, I know the new group member? Do I? I don't have any impression at all."]

[Rimuru: "@World's No. 1 Princess, is this the Group Leader? Hello, my name is Rimuru, and I'm a slime right now."]

[Rimuru: "I don't know Kumoko. If I had met her, I should remember."]

[World's No. 1 Princess: "Kumoko's true form is a spider. Because she became a god, she can transform into a human appearance. Before you left the underground, did you ever see a white spider?"]

[Rimuru: "A spider... white? Hmm~ Eh? Is it that spider that even the Great Sage was surprised by?"]

Rimuru suddenly remembered that he had been accidentally caught in a time-space storm.

He entered a special underground labyrinth, and then encountered a powerful spider. He originally wanted to devour it, but he thought about it and wasn't confident, so he gave up.

[Kumoko: "A Slime? A blue Slime!? You're that guy, eh?"]

That's right, she also remembered now, it was that blue slime that looked aggressive towards her..

[World's No. 1 Princess: "Indeed, you two have met."]

Beryl checked the Chat Group's attachments and found no information indicating they are from the same world.

Whether it was due to different anime not being considered the same world, or something else, Beryl was unsure.

[World's No. 1 Princess: "How did you two meet back then? I don't have your projection videos here, so Kumoko, do you understand now?"]

[Kumoko: "Rimuru and I aren't from the same world?"]

Kumoko had thought she had another show to watch, but was greatly disappointed.

[Rimuru: "I accidentally ran into a space-time storm and got sucked into it, and then I met Kumoko. That's roughly how it happened."]

[Rimuru: "However, that time I felt it was only a part of my soul consciousness that reached another world, and I returned shortly after."]

A bit unsure what the Group Leader wanted to ask, Rimuru told her everything he knew.

[World's No. 1 Princess: "I see."]

Different universes, or different planets?

If she went to Kumoko's world next time, perhaps she could investigate.

Anyway, during Kumoko's final trial, she had already made an agreement with Evil God D to visit Kumoko and bring Evil God D into the Chat Group as well.
