In Bleach as Gilgamesh

Chapter 92 - Return to the Spirit King's Palace!

With his suspicions aroused, Mayuri narrowed his eyes, a look of keen interest flashing across them.

"Lord Kurotsuchi, it's three days until the next scheduled contact with Lord Gilgamesh, but he will be heading to the World of the Living in two days."

"Should we contact him in advance and inform him of this news?"

Nemu asked expressionlessly.

Mayuri shook his head lightly and responded, "No need. Originally, we were supposed to contact him anytime, but he chose to have periodic contacts because it was more convenient for him."

"So, the scheduled time is the scheduled time."

"If he can't wait until then, that's his own problem."

Nemu hesitated and then said, "But..."

Mayuri, seeing Nemu questioning him, became even more interested. He waved his hand, signaling her to stop, and commanded, "That's enough, you may leave."

Nemu's mouth moved as if to say more, but she eventually retreated slowly.

After Nemu left, Mayuri began typing on the instrument in front of him.

Before long, the screen displayed footage of Nemu.

On the screen, Nemu stood still for a long time before taking out a communicator and making a call.

Moments later, Nemu's voice was heard, "Lord Gilgamesh, I have an urgent message for you..."

Seeing this, Mayuri's face revealed a look of realization. He couldn't help but mutter, "Gilgamesh, what a fascinating individual."

"It hasn't been long, yet he has managed to evoke emotions in Nemu."

"Interesting, truly interesting."

Mayuri wasn't angry at Nemu's defiance. Instead, he found it intriguing.

This was precisely what he wanted.

For Mayuri, as long as he couldn't analyze the essence of magic, he preferred Gilgamesh to stay alive.

If Nemu hadn't defied him, Mayuri himself would have contacted Gilgamesh.

Speaking of Nemu, it's worth mentioning Mayuri's long-term research project, the "Nemuri Project."

Mayuri had always dreamed of creating a new soul from scratch.

Since one cannot dream while awake, he named the project "Nemuri Project."

Nemu was the result of this project, a man-made Shinigami.

She was the essence of both artificial body and artificial soul technologies, making her Mayuri's greatest masterpiece.

Before Nemu, Mayuri created six failed prototypes, from "Nemuri #1" to "Nemuri #6."

Finally, "Nemuri #7" surpassed the lifespan limits of artificial souls, bringing Mayuri immense joy.

Thus, he named her "Nemu."

However, Nemu had a flaw – emotions.

Nemu lacked the true emotions that a real soul should have.

This meant that Mayuri's "Nemuri Project" was still not a success.

Now, Nemu had developed emotions, albeit minimally, but it was a significant progress, which naturally piqued Mayuri's interest.

The fact that these emotions were due to someone else didn't bother Mayuri at all.

Currently, Mayuri's bond with Nemu was not as deep as it would become in the future storyline.

For Mayuri, Nemu was still a tool that could be discarded at any time.

Watching the footage of Nemu, Mayuri rubbed his chin thoughtfully, muttering to himself, "Should I just send Nemu to Gilgamesh?"

"Maybe her emotions will develop faster that way, and I can gather more data."

Gilgamesh had no idea that Mayuri was planning to send Nemu to him.

At that moment, he was learning about the conspiracy of Central 46 against him from Nemu.

After hanging up, Gilgamesh frowned slightly, feeling troubled.

If it were just himself, he was confident he could handle any plot.

But this time, Rukia and Renji were going to the World of the Living with him.

In the Dangai, Gilgamesh was confident he could protect himself, but he might not be able to ensure everyone's safety.

Going directly to confront them to prevent the plot was also not an option.

Now was not the time to openly oppose Seireitei's higher-ups.

Even though he was not afraid of them, he was not alone.

If he attacked, they and their backers would certainly act.

If they targeted Rukia, Renji, or the Kingdom of Uruk, he might not be able to keep them safe.

After some thought, Gilgamesh went to a secluded place and summoned Vimana.

Next moment, he flew directly toward the Spirit King's Palace in Vimana.

Vimana's speed was so fast that no one noticed.

Soon, Vimana traversed the seventy-two barriers and reached the Spirit King's Palace.

The members of Zero Division were aware of Vimana's entry as soon as it crossed the first barrier.

But they were already accustomed to it.

Recently, Gilgamesh often visited the Spirit King's Palace. Each time, he would first seek out Shutara, then take her to Kirio's Itaden to feast.

Initially, the members of Zero Division were on high alert, but after several visits, they got used to it.

During this time, Ichibe had approached Gilgamesh multiple times, politely reminding him that outsiders should not freely enter the Spirit King's Palace.

However, Gilgamesh always silently took out the Key of the King's Law from the Gate of Babylon each time.

Ichibe, knowing what Gilgamesh meant, could only sigh and leave.

After several instances, Ichibe stopped intervening, as long as the Spirit King was safe.

At the same moment when Gilgamesh crossed the seventy-two barriers, Shutara, sewing in the Weaving Guard, sighed, seemingly aware of what was to come and prepared to be taken away by Gilgamesh.

Kirio at Itaden also sighed.

She now appeared as a slender woman with long purple hair and a voluptuous figure, rather than her formerly plump self.

Kirio regretted agreeing to let Gilgamesh dine at Itaden the first time.

After that, she never regained her weight.

Her ability was linked to her physique.

Although she sighed, Kirio honestly began preparing ingredients to welcome Gilgamesh.

But soon, her expression changed.

Not just her, but all members of Zero Division were shocked.

Gilgamesh, this time, flew directly with Vimana toward the Spirit King's inner chamber at such a speed that they couldn't react in time.

'What is he planning to do with the Spirit King?'
