Soul Society - Fourth Division Barracks
As the system's voice faded from his mind, Senyu felt a surge of excitement that he barely managed to contain. After all this time, he had finally awakened his golden finger—his ticket to survival in the bloody wars ahead!
No more worrying about becoming cannon fodder in the Thousand-Year Blood War. No more sleepless nights wondering if he'd survive the next catastrophic battle. This was his chance to change everything.
Senyu quickly began familiarizing himself with the system's capabilities, his eyes widening as he explored the vast library of available content in the Three Realms Projection's database.
[Available Famous Scenes: Byakuya vs Ichigo, Kenpachi vs Ichigo, The Double Execution, Aizen's Throne Declaration, The King and the Horse Theory, Gremmy vs Kenpachi...]
As he scrolled through the countless iconic moments, Senyu's strategic mind began working overtime.
To maximize emotional energy harvest, I need something topical... something that will benefit my own faction while revealing crucial information, he thought to himself. I've been struggling with how to warn the Gotei 13 about the Wandenreich's existence without raising suspicion about my knowledge. But now...
A slow smile spread across his face. Now I can solve everything through this system!
His gaze naturally settled on the series' protagonist—Kurosaki Ichigo. After all, Ichigo was arguably the most overpowered character in not just the Bleach universe, but across countless anime worlds. As the central figure of every major story arc, he possessed an unprecedented combination of powers: Shinigami, Hollow, Quincy, and Fullbring abilities all merged into one impossibly strong package.
More importantly, every major villain in the series—Aizen Sōsuke, Yhwach, and others—had deep, complex connections to Ichigo that drove the entire narrative forward.
If I'm going to showcase famous scenes, Kurosaki Ichigo is absolutely essential, Senyu decided. But which scene to start with...
After careful consideration, he selected his opening video, complete with blood-pumping background music that would get everyone's hearts racing. With a deep breath, he officially released the content to all three worlds.
Simultaneously, he activated every function of the Three Realms Projection system.
As the golden screen solidified across all realms, an entirely new spiritual dimension came into existence—a chat space that transcended the boundaries between worlds.
[The Three Realms Projection has arrived!]
[Live broadcast room is prepared to play inventory videos...]
[Relevant participants are entering the group chat]
[Royal Guard members joining: Ichibē Hyōsube, Tenjirō Kirinji, Senjumaru Shutara, Kirio Hikifune, Ōetsu Nimaiya]
[Gotei 13 Captains and Officers joining: Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni, Senyu, Unohana Retsu, Kyōraku Shunsui, Ukitake Jūshirō, Zaraki Kenpachi, Hitsugaya Tōshirō, Kuchiki Byakuya...]
[Arrancar joining: Aizen Sōsuke, Kaname Tōsen, Ichimaru Gin, Coyote Starrk, Baraggan Louisenbairn, Tier Harribel, Ulquiorra Cifer...]
[Human World Participants joining: Kurosaki Ichigo, Inoue Orihime, Ishida Uryū, Urahara Kisuke, Hirako Shinji...]
[...]
Countless powerful beings found themselves suddenly connected to this mysterious group chat, their consciousness linked across dimensional boundaries. The initial shock of seeing the golden screen was nothing compared to the bewilderment of being pulled into this supernatural communication network.
After a moment of stunned silence, the chat exploded with activity.
[Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni]: What is the meaning of this? A "Three Realms Projection" that can be observed simultaneously in Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the Human World?
[Hitsugaya Tōshirō]: Captain-Commander, is this some kind of illusion? Can you see this as well?
[Kyōraku Shunsui]: I've analyzed it thoroughly—this doesn't appear to be any form of illusion I'm familiar with. The power required for something like this is beyond my ability to comprehend or counter.
[Kuchiki Byakuya]: Hmph. Such an ostentatious display. Could this be another one of Urahara Kisuke's experiments?
[Urahara Kisuke]: I swear on my shop's reputation—I have absolutely no idea what's happening here!
[Kurosaki Ichigo]: Wait, everyone can see this chat? This is completely insane.
[Kuchiki Rukia]: Even Ichigo from the Human World is here! This golden screen and chat function are truly beyond anything I've ever seen!
[Kurotsuchi Mayuri]: Fascinating! The technology required to achieve this level of cross-dimensional communication exceeds even my most advanced research. I must understand how this works!
[Urahara Kisuke]: Could this possibly be Aizen's doing?
As the chat continued buzzing with speculation and confusion, a mysterious, ancient voice resonated across all three realms.
[DING!]
[Greetings to all viewers who can perceive this projection! This system is known as the Three Realms Projection!]
[This projection will showcase famous scenes featuring Shinigami, Hollows, Quincy, and other supernatural beings across all three worlds!]
[After each video concludes, various questions will appear—including speed-answer challenges, multiple choice questions, and analytical problems!]
[Those who answer correctly will receive points and exclusive rewards! Points will be used for ranking purposes, with top performers receiving increasingly valuable prizes!]
[Available rewards include but are not limited to: Spiritual Enhancement Pills, Spiritual Pressure Amplification, Zanpakutō Upgrades, Kidō/Swordsmanship/Shunpo/Hakuda Technique Mastery, Resurrection Tokens, Hōgyoku Fragments, and portions of the Soul King's power...]
[Additionally, powers from other worlds are available: Devil Fruits, Rinnegan, Six Paths Chakra, Nen Abilities, Stand Powers, Imperial Arms...]
The announcement hit the chat like a spiritual pressure bomb. The sheer scope of the promised rewards left even the most powerful beings speechless.
[Hitsugaya Tōshirō]: These rewards are beyond incredible! Even fragments of the Hōgyoku that Aizen coveted so desperately?
[Ukitake Jūshirō]: And portions of the Soul King's power? Such things should be impossible to replicate...
[Zaraki Kenpachi]: I don't understand half of what you're talking about, but there are powerful abilities I've never heard of? This sounds fun!
[Urahara Kisuke]: I have to question the legitimacy of this. The Hōgyoku isn't something that can be mass-produced, and the Soul King's power... that's on an entirely different level.
[Kurosaki Ichigo]: What are you guys even talking about? I don't understand any of this!
[Aizen Sōsuke]: How intriguing. I'm curious whether it's truly possible to replicate the Hōgyoku and distribute fragments of the Soul King's essence as mere prizes for answering questions correctly.
[Hitsugaya Tōshirō]: Aizen! You bastard, you're here too? Are you the one behind this golden screen?
[Hinamori Momo]: Captain Aizen...!
[Hitsugaya Tōshirō]: Hinamori, he's no longer the captain you once knew! He's a traitor to Soul Society!
[Kyōraku Shunsui]: While we still don't understand the nature of this projection... we absolutely cannot allow Aizen's faction to claim these rewards.
[Senyu]: Everyone, let's do our best together!
The Arrancar weren't content to remain silent in the face of such challenges.
[Ulquiorra Cifer]: How remarkably naive. Do not assume you can interfere with Aizen-sama's plans.
[Baraggan Louisenbairn]: You are nothing but children playing at war. I look forward to watching you fail.
[Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez]: The so-called "Captains" of the Shinigami are nothing compared to the Espada!
[Zaraki Kenpachi]: These are Aizen's subordinates, right? I really want to fight all of you!
[Kurosaki Ichigo]: I'll give it everything I've got to answer these questions correctly!
While everyone else was caught up in the excitement and tension, Senyu—the host behind the Three Realms Projection—remained perfectly calm. According to the system's rules, while winners would receive their promised rewards, he as the host would receive corresponding bonuses as well.
He simply relaxed and prepared to enjoy the show that was about to unfold.
As the various factions continued their heated exchanges, the golden screen's voice rang out once more across all three realms.
[DING!]
[The question and answer session will now commence!]
[First Question: What is Aizen Sōsuke's most perfect masterpiece?]
[A) The Hōgyoku - A mystical orb capable of breaking the boundaries between Shinigami and Hollow]
[B) His vast army of Arrancar created through Hollowfication experiments]
[C) Kurosaki Ichigo - The perfect fusion of multiple spiritual races]
[D) The complete hypnosis ability of his Zanpakutō, Kyōka Suigetsu]
[This is a speed-answer question! The first person to answer correctly will receive 3 points, second place gets 2 points, third place gets 1 point! Begin!]
The chat immediately exploded with activity as everyone rushed to submit their answers, but the implications of option C sent shockwaves through every participant.
[Kurosaki Ichigo]: Wait, what?! I'm supposed to be AIZEN'S masterpiece?! What the hell does that even mean?!
[Kuchiki Rukia]: Ichigo... what is your connection to Aizen?
[Aizen Sōsuke]: How fascinating. It seems this projection knows more about my work than I expected...
The stage was set for revelations that would shake the very foundations of everything everyone thought they knew about the war between the three realms.
