Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 1246 Upcoming Invasion

"C-chewing?" Kisuke stuttered his words due to how ridiculous that sounded, "I'm sorry, but I don't have enough imagination to imagine that."

"Yes. Those things are literally chewing the boundary between spaces itself." Serafall repeated her point.

"...How?"

"We're not really sure of the mechanism behind it since I also noticed the boundary is having a hard time regenerating." As one of the last ones who went through the Teleportation Magic, Kunou was able to observe the situation more than anyone else, "But if they are attracted to the thin film that separates the spaces..."

"It won't be long before they arrive in other neighboring dimensions. Including this of course." Serafall finished Kunou's words for her with her very rare frowning expression.

"..." The room became deathly quiet. The former Captains who witnessed these strange worms are confident that they could take out hundreds of them at the same time. However, it's only now that they realize how dangerous the situation is, not just for the Soul Society but also for the Human World and Hueco Mundo. Not to mention, they estimated that there are at least hundreds of thousands of them from their initial surfacing.

"So what's the plan?" Furoufushi asked while setting down Batsu'unsai.

Kisuke turned to her and said, "Aren't you curious what they are first? There's no way you can respond to the threat properly without knowing the details surrounding them."

"That's true, but we're also out of time." Furoufushi answered with cold killing intent surrounding her and that's also the same with Chika and Batsu'unsai.

Kisuke wondered what was making them anxious but immediately recalled what they were doing when they first met. Sighing, Kisuke took out a small bag that contained 36 cubes of one inch each and passed them to Furoufushi, "The 16 gray ones are scanning devices. They are small but they are powerful enough that they'll only last for a few days before they burn themselves. Toss them around as you go. The rest are experimental bombs that may or may not work on those worms. Due to the lack of opportunity, I haven't been able to test them out."

Furoufushi blankly received the bag and checked its contents, "You're not going to stop us?" She, Chika, and Batsu'unsai understand how much manpower they need right now and with them going away, would be a huge blow to the available hands that could cover large areas.

"There's no point, isn't it? If you're going to throw your lives away, you might as well be useful until the end."

"So they are leaving immediately?", asked Serafall while preparing to reconnect the Teleportation Magic they used.

Kisuke also came back to his position and helped Serafall, "You'd be doing the same if you're in their position, wouldn't you?"

"Well, I can't deny that."

Meanwhile, Chika turned to Yamamoto and lowered his head, "Captain, I apologize. I know that we're needed but..."

Yamamoto just waved his hand, "It's fine. You swore to protect something and you know your priorities. There's nothing to be ashamed of."

Batsu'unsai and Furoufushi also lowered their heads to Yamamoto and said at the same time, "Thank you for understanding us, Captain."

Yamamoto stroked his beard with a solemn expression while saying, "Although unlike Urahara here, I do believe that you'll come out of it alive. Do your best so that we can sit down peacefully again."

The three of them stood up straight in salute, "Yes, Captain!"

At the same time, the Teleportation Magic reactivated and Serafall immediately gestured to them to go in, "This will return you to our previous position. That place was probably overrun by these worms so be careful."

Kisuke turned to the limping Batsu'unsai and asked, "Are you going to be alright?"

Batsu'unsai, meanwhile, just displayed a resolute smile while turning to Tanis, "I'm fine. I have a good teacher so it won't take long before the poison is completely expelled and I heal myself."

"I see. Then, good luck to all of you."

Furoufushi, Chika, and Batsu'unsai stepped into the Magic Circle and before they all disappeared, Kisuke had some final words, "And regarding the black monk, avoid him at all costs."

As their presence disappeared, Kunou approached Kisuke and Serafall with a concerned expression, "Is it alright to let them go?"

Kisuke patted her head in consolation, "They have people they want to protect and as much as we'd like to help, we're also not in the position to extend our hand. Remember that there will be times that no matter how good you become, there are still things that you can't do. Or else, you'll just lose everything.

"Of course, this is not to discourage you. After all, you can still do things so that you won't end up in such a position in the first place as much as possible." Kisuke turned to Tanis and asked her to take care of Kunou and Claire, "You girls should take a rest first. We'll call you back when we need to move out."

Tanis nodded and brought Claire and Kunou out of the room. She knew that it was time for the adults to have a talk and she didn't want to interfere with it too much, especially when she knew almost nothing about the circumstances.

Kisuke let out a long breath and turned to Serafall again, "Before we start, what happened to Ophis?"

Serafall shook her head, "I'm not sure. The last thing I saw was her restraining the transforming monk."

"I see..." Kisuke pulled out Tiamat and intended to cut through space to return to Hell, "I shouldn't take long, but I'll leave things here to you. You're much more experienced in affairs of a global scale than the rest of us."

Serafall wanted to stop him but she knew that she'd only be wasting her breath.

The Shinigamis around them wondered why Kisuke didn't go with the previous three, however, Shunsui was more curious about something else, "Wait, even more than the old man?"

Kisuke faced him with a grin and replied, "She once led an army of tens of millions of soldiers. Does that count?"

Not just Shunsui, but the rest also froze on their spot when they heard his words, "T-tens of millions?"

Serafall, on the other hand, could only hold her head in frustration, "Please don't remind me of that. That wasn't a pleasant time." Although it should be a source of pride to her, Serafall didn't like nor feel any pride from the fact that she killed millions of people from the last Underworld Civil War.

The smile on Kisuke's face disappeared, "Regardless, you'd have a better response than anyone else in this room."

Kisuke went through the cut in space he made and disappeared, leaving behind a silent room. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

A few seconds later, Serafall jumped into action and turned to Shunsui, "Captain Commander-chan, please contact the West Soul Society and ask for their cooperation. Tell them to contact the Defense Ministries of various nations to prepare their arsenals."

"...And if they don't agree?"

With a big smile on her face, Serafall replied with a bone-chilling voice, "Tell them that the 'Dragon Queen' will incinerate them."
