...
"I never imagined that there really are gods who control death, and so many of them." Sitting on the bronze chair, Huang Rong, who had just finished reading about the Grim Reaper, said she was trembling.
"The Grim Reaper of the Bleach world is quite different from the Grim Reaper of our world, isn't he?" Zhang Sanfeng frowned. As a Taoist master and a former Buddhist disciple, he naturally had a deep understanding of the Chinese pantheon. Therefore, he noticed the huge differences between the two.
"In any case, the path to immortality has been obtained." Tony Stark shrugged, staring at Madara Uchiha opposite him with amusement. "Battlefield Rose, why don't you just cultivate the spiritual power of the Bleach world and then slit your own throat?"
"The power ceiling in the world of Bleach is extremely high, and... once you become a Shinigami, there is no limit to lifespan. Doesn't that perfectly meet your requirements?"
"Shut up," Madara Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan spun in his pupils as he coldly glanced at Tony Stark. "Becoming a Shinigami in another world, what's the difference between that and being resurrected by Edo Tensei? I'm not that kind of person!"
"The difference is huge, gurararara," Whitebeard laughed. "After all, the Impure World Reincarnation not only doesn't make you stronger, but it actually weakens you... It offers no benefits other than immortality. But Shinigami can become even stronger!"
"Anyway, if I die in the pirate world in the future... and my sons haven't grown up yet, I'll choose to use the power system of the Shinigami to change jobs if I have the chance... that way, I can protect them for a longer time."
"While your fatherly love is truly touching, excessive pampering... will only raise a bunch of good-for-nothings." Tony Stark was speechless. But this choice... well, is it really befitting of Whitebeard?
"So, am I the only one curious about the true identities of these two newcomers?" All Might flashed his bright white teeth, laughing heartily. "Are they captains of some division in Soul Society? One of the Espada in Hueco Mundo, or perhaps Ichigo Kurosaki or someone from the human world?"
"Guess!" Aizen said ambiguously.
"This unpleasant attitude... you wouldn't happen to be Kisuke Urahara, would you?" Tony Stark stared intently at Aizen, his mind racing.
“I think if they don’t want to talk about it, we shouldn’t force them. We should just ask the council chairman,” Ash said casually. He looked up at the highest bronze pedestal and asked, “Council chairman, can we talk about this?”
A brief silence fell over the scene, the atmosphere extremely awkward. Everyone exchanged glances, then all looked up at the highest point. Sure enough, they spotted a figure shrouded in mist, sitting quietly there.
He rested his chin on his hand, looking down at them with great interest, seemingly observing them for an unknown period of time.
"Idiot," Tony Stark snapped at Ash. "If this kind of thing could really be asked, the Speaker of the Council wouldn't have shrouded everyone in mystery."
After a brief pause, Tony Stark bowed slightly to Su Han and said, "Good evening, Your Excellency the Speaker of the Council."
"So that's why I was shrouded in mist?" Ash suddenly realized.
Huang Rong stared at Xiao Zhi expressionlessly. "Your reaction speed... and you still have the nerve to say you're not Xiao Zhi-idiot? You really have no self-awareness at all."
"Just consider me Urahara Kisuke for now," Aizen said calmly, his words leaving everyone wondering what was really going on.
"Is that so?" Whitebeard stared intently at Aizen. "You...you're truly terrifying."
"Hmm?!" Madara Uchiha keenly sensed something and turned to stare at Whitebeard.
“It seems Mr. Edward Newgate knows the newcomer’s identity,” Ying Zheng said in a low, incisive voice.
Although Ying Zheng rarely spoke, mostly observing from the shadows, his thoughts were far more numerous, if not fewer, than those of anyone else present.
He had even made a deal with Tony Stark before, gaining access to some basic scientific principles and development records from various countries around the world.
Ying Zheng is now spending his days thinking about how to learn from the experiences of the future world and reform the current Qin Dynasty... He is even considering whether to start a technological revolution in the Qin Dynasty.
“Yes,” Whitebeard said softly, his expression complicated. “After all, we saw the power they traded to the council chairman before… At the time, it didn’t seem like much, but after seeing the past and future of Death Star, and thinking back on it now, it’s truly terrifying.”
After a brief pause, Whitebeard stared intently at Aizen, "You agree, don't you... Aizen Sousuke!"

Chapter 64: Members of the Mist harm each other; when their world limit is locked.
A brief silence fell over the misty space.
Su Han watched this scene with great interest. "Did you see the Mirror Flower Water Moon card?"
In the world of Bleach, Aizen is the only one who possesses the ability to perceive illusions and fleeting moments. It would be strange if Whitebeard, having watched Bleach, didn't recognize Aizen.
"So what will happen next?" Su Han's gaze swept over everyone present. He noticed that their expressions were either solemn, wary, or thoughtful... Even Uchiha Madara couldn't remain calm.
Of course, Su Han could understand. After all, Aizen not only possessed extraordinary temperament and methods, but more importantly, his strength was probably among the best of everyone present.
"This is truly unexpected." Tony Stark lowered his head, no longer looking directly at Aizen. He hadn't seen Kyoka Suigetsu before, so he shouldn't be hypnotized now.
Although Tony Stark believed that Aizen was most likely trapped in the Misty Dimension and unable to use his powers... given that Su Han was suppressing him there, he still thought it best to be cautious.
"No, I think it's perfectly normal." Huang Rong covered her chest, feeling her heart pounding rapidly. She pursed her dry lips. "Among everyone here, isn't every one of you a top-tier boss?"
Madara Uchiha fell silent, and Ying Zheng was lost in thought. Tony Stark raised his hand in strong opposition, "I'm clearly a good guy, okay? Iron Man! The pillar of the Avengers."
"I shouldn't be considered a villain, should I?" The white-bearded man's expression was strange, but his words were somewhat uncertain.
All Might shrugged and said nothing. His presence was the best proof of that.
"Terrifying." Ash swallowed hard, recalling various plot points and belatedly realizing what kind of monsters these people were. He suddenly felt like a husky caught in a pack of wolves, trembling with fear.
“…How could this be?” Rukia Kuchiki murmured, her body tense, despair filling her eyes. Even if she were the only one who had joined the Misty Space, she had no chance of going toe-to-toe with Aizen.
Now that Aizen has also joined the Misty Space and knows the future... there's no need to fight this battle at all.
"May I ask, which part of the Bleach world are you?" Zhang Sanfeng stared at Kuchiki Rukia with some doubt.
“It’s most likely a squad leader,” Tony Stark said noncommittally. “What makes Aizen so terrifying is that… he’s kept it all hidden. Only when you truly understand the power he possesses and his schemes… will you feel despair.”
"The only one who can restrain him... is Yamamoto Genryusai. However, it seems that Captain-Commander Yamamoto has also been hypnotized by his 'Mirror Flower, Water Moon' technique, hasn't he?" Tony Stark sincerely admired, "Thinking about it carefully, he really planned every step of the way."
"So, you're not going to tell me your identity?" Madara Uchiha frowned, then turned to look at Whitebeard. "Since you saw Aizen's Mystery Card, you should have seen the other one too!"
Before Whitebeard could speak, Rukia Kuchiki spoke first, "Things have developed to this point... there's no point in hiding it anymore."
After a brief pause, she gritted her teeth and said, "I am Rukia Kuchiki."
Silence fell once more. Even the usually composed Ying Zheng now wore a strange expression as he scanned the two figures back and forth.
