"Everyone from Division 12 has come out, right?" Yuta glanced at the 12th Division research room ahead of him and asked.
"Reporting back to Captain Yuta, all members of Division 12 are already here," Nemu Kurotsuchi replied.
"This place changes its owner, and its spirit, shape, and meaning... should change with the owner."
As Yuta's words fell, an invisible force spread from his outstretched right hand, enveloping the entire research room in front of him.
This was the first time Yuta used his Reiatsu Sub-Domain, exerting full control over the power of "subjugation."
The members of Division 12 witnessed a scene they would never forget.
With a tremendous crash, the entire 12th Division building shattered into countless spirit particles and vanished before their eyes.
It looked like a fortress crumbling beneath the impact of a colossal strike. Blue Reishi scattered into the air like flour carried away by the wind.
The laboratories, equipment, and preserved specimens were all reduced back to raw Reishi.
Everything dissolved into its most basic form.
When the members of the 12th realized what had happened, they were left stupefied.
"What...?"
Silence fell, and shock overtook every face in the crowd.
Though some had heard of Yuta's title as "Great Kido Chief," very few fully understood his power until now. The ability to reduce an entire division building into Reishi was beyond imagination.
Yadoumaru gasped aloud, his bald head nearly shining with sweat. He could not comprehend what the new captain was doing. Was this even possible? Wasn't the Forbidden Kidō at its most extreme supposed to be the pinnacle of such destructive power?
Ajin also inhaled sharply. "Unbelievable... this is terrifying."
The next moment, Yuta closed his eyes and activated his full computational ability.
The scattered Reishi particles began to reorganize at tremendous speed, like a time-lapse construction process happening before everyone's eyes.
Within moments, a new building stood where the old one had been.
"How... how is this possible?" one of the 12th Division members muttered, stunned.
Among the traditional wooden structures of the Seireitei now stood a modern facility of steel and glass. Although only six stories high, it stood out prominently amidst the older architecture.
Yuta extended his hand once more, and several glowing beads appeared in his palm. Each bead pulsed faintly with spiritual power.
"Only three?" Yuta thought silently, storing them away. Still, managing to refine even three was remarkable.
These beads contained the remaining essence of the Shinigami and Quincy who had been used as experimental test subjects under the previous captain's research. Their souls had long since perished under torture and experiments, but Yuta broke down their bodies into Reishi, returning them to the cycle of spirit particles, while preserving the core essence of their power into three condensed beads.
Their purpose was clear-to create the Hōgyoku.
To draw the attention of the Royal Guard, it was not enough to stir minor ripples. Yuta planned to manufacture Hōgyoku in batches.
He already possessed the powers of Shinigami, Quincy, and Hollow.
Having witnessed Orihime Inoue's Shun Shun Rikka technique in action, he had also grasped aspects of its rejection ability.
With his own blood carrying the fusion of four major forces, constructing the Hōgyoku with it was feasible.
As these thoughts passed through him, the members of Division 12 looked on with astonishment at the transformed facility.
"This will be the new research laboratory from now on," Yuta declared. "While I am captain of the 12th Division, research will no longer follow the methods of the past."
He began laying out regulations:
"First: Division operations are conducted from nine in the morning to five in the evening. No overtime is permitted. Each member has two rest days per week."
"Second: Monitoring of the Human World, Soul Society, and Hueco Mundo will continue without interruption."
"Third: Inhumane experiments are prohibited. All drug experimentation is to be conducted on white mice. Lethal drugs are forbidden for living trials. Medical treatments must be successfully tested on animals before being applied to Shinigami. If any researcher experiences adverse effects, they will either be treated by the 4th Division immediately-or by myself."
He issued several more orders, making it clear that under his command, his word defined the division's doctrine and direction.
Those who abused power and slaughtered innocents would be stripped of their protection, while those striving toward peace would be safeguarded.
When the crowd dispersed, they explored the remodeled research institute in astonishment. The new structure resembled a high-tech laboratory from the modern world rather than the archaic halls of the Seireitei.
After delegating responsibilities for various research fields, Yuta entered his office.
He reclined briefly on the sofa, sunlight filtering through the glass to warm his body.
It seemed like a good moment for tea.
But then a subtle rustling sound broke his thoughts.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Nemu Kurotsuchi standing before him. A slip of undergarment fell from her legs as her uniform dropped away, exposing her pale body in the sunlight.
"Please, Captain Yuta... treat me."
Nemu's expression was serene, her figure illuminated by the warm light as if unaffected by shame.
Yuta nodded calmly, his expression unshaken.
"In that case, I'll take this opportunity to adjust your body. Do you consent?"
Nemu's dark eyes did not waver as she answered, "Everything depends on Captain Yuta's judgment."
"Good."
Yuta pressed his hand forward, and Nemu's body disintegrated into countless Reishi particles.
Within that cloud of light were traces of deadly poisons and chemicals embedded deep within her system.
But broken down into pure Reishi, those toxins lost all composition and dissolved harmlessly back into the environment.
Moments later, Yuta reassembled her form from purified spirit particles. She stood as before, her body intact, but free from the hidden toxins sown into her flesh.
Nemu looked at herself in muted confusion. "Captain Yuta... aren't you going to implant anything into my body?"
"There's no need," Yuta replied quietly. His sharp eyes locked with hers. "I killed Kurotsuchi Mayuri. By extension, that makes me the one who destroyed your creator-your father figure. Doesn't that make me your enemy? Don't you hate me?"
Nemu shook her head slightly. "No, I do not hate you."
Yuta remained silent for a moment before stepping close to her. His tone was level and firm.
"Whether you meant those words honestly doesn't matter. You may try to take revenge if you choose-but if you ever harm those close to me, the same hand that broke you apart will end you for good."
