1. Before the battle
12 linesAfter I began searching for the followers like Kisuke instructed, I found several people in the vicinity with slightly disturbed Spiritual Pressures.
Your skills are really something else.
I'm accustomed to this type of work, is all.
They didn't particularly feel like Soul Reapers or Fullbringers. Nor did they seem possessed by parasitic Hollows.
Then what was the abnormality in their Spiritual Pressures about?
It must have been these.
These decorations they carry are engraved with symbols of the religious cult that Kisuke was looking into.
What's unique is that each and every one of these is like a tiny circuit that uses Reishi.
A circuit? So is it some kind of device?
Yes. This is a technology that was banned in the past.
However, just a few years ago, the ban was lifted for a limited time as a counter-measure against Aizen.
Wait. Is this...the Tenkaiketchu?
2. After the battle
13 linesI tried to find where the Tenkaiketchu leads, but the coordinates are nowhere near the Soul Society or Hueco Mundo.
If it leads to the middle of the Garganta, I believe it must be the Valley of Screams or somewhere similar.
The Valley of Screams? Isn't that the place that was used as a penal colony a long, long time ago for families of criminals who committed felonies?
That's right. They weren't even given a Hell Butterfly and were left behind somewhere that was not connected to the Precipice World.
It was a particularly severe punishment, even compared to our present banishments.
But why a place like that? A tiny thing like this must not be able to teleport much.
How many others do you sense with a similar presence to the ones holding these?
An uncountable number.
Hypothetically, if 700,000 people were walking around Karakura Town carrying one of these, what could they do?
I don't believe that many followers have gathered in Karakura Town, but let me think.
Hypothetically, if they were stationed mainly in this town in addition to the surrounding towns...
...they couldn't teleport all of Karakura Town in the way the pillars Kisuke created could, but I believe they could come pretty close.
You have to be kidding.
