Seireitei’s shadows—The Wandenreich.

The sky was dark as night, cloaked in a heavy gloom.

Along the wide road stretching from the wilderness to Silbern, rows of Shinigami stood in formation—an unusual sight for this land. Among them were numerous members of the Kidō Corps.

Their presence raised questions. Was this an invasion? Or did they have another purpose?

But the truth was far more complex—This was a mission of vengeance.

A thousand-year-old blood debt was about to be settled.

At the front of the formation stood an elderly man with a long beard, his face calm and composed, yet grave.

Flanking him on both sides were a man and a woman, standing like guardians beside the seemingly frail elder.

"Captain-Commander."

Gin Ichimaru quietly approached and bowed respectfully.
