After confirming that they had no other information, Sirzechs ended the matter and moved on to the next topic.
"Tatsuma, we have a reply from Soul Society."
"What did they say?"
"The Gotei 13 does not wish for this matter to alarm the Zero Division and the Soul King. In the worst-case scenario, they can transfer the management rights of Seireitei to the Devils, but the status and power of the Four Great Noble Clans must be preserved."
"Okay."
"Hmm? You just agreed like that?"
Sirzechs was a little surprised. "I thought you would haggle over the matter of the Four Great Noble Clans."
Tatsuma replied concisely, "For me, the result is the same."
If they were willing to cooperate, preserving the original status and power of the Four Great Noble Clans would actually make it easier for him to manage Soul Society.
If they weren't willing to listen, he would just replace them with a batch of obedient people to be the heads of the Four Great Noble Clans.
Playing word games, that was a Devil's specialty.
"Tatsuma, it's better not to target the Four Great Noble Clans unless absolutely necessary."
It seemed Ajuka, who had been silent all this time, saw through Tatsuma's true intentions and suddenly spoke up to remind him.
"The first generation clan heads of the Four Great Noble Clans have some connection with the legendary Soul King."
"The Soul King is the Creator God of another world. I think you should have heard rumors about him."
"If you make a move against the Four Great Noble Clans, it's very likely to alarm the Soul King and Zero Division, complicating the situation."
Tatsuma said, "You're the one complicating things. You're thinking too much."
Ajuka asked, "Hmm? Do you know some inside information?"
"I know a little."
Tatsuma briefly introduced the Soul King's situation.
After listening, Ajuka and the others exchanged glances, their expressions becoming subtle.
The Soul King had his limbs cut off, his internal organs removed, and lost most of his power before coming to this world, being made into a wedge to maintain the balance of the Three Realms.
This kind of thing sounded like a joke.
That was the legendary Soul King!
It was said his strength was not inferior to the supreme beings like the God of the Bible and Infinite Dragon God.
Would such a powerful being allow some ants, whose strength was inferior to his own, to lay hands on him?
After a moment of silence, it was Azazel who finally broke it.
"Tatsuma, it's not that I don't believe you. But this information... are you sure there's no problem with it?"
"I've told you everything I know. Whether you believe it or not is up to you."
Tatsuma's information about the Soul King came from Yahweh.
In the distant past, Yahweh had met the Soul King and received a warning. Through Yahweh, Tatsuma could confirm that the Soul King was the same as in the original story, only retaining his All-Knowing power.
The Soul King at his peak was indeed very strong, and even the current Tatsuma was far from his match. However, if he lost his power, there was nothing more to say.
In the current Soul Society, there were only two enemies Tatsuma needed to take seriously.
The Quincy emperor, Yhwach.
The leader of the Zero Division, Ichibei Hyosube.
There's no need to say more about the former. Tatsuma would personally deal with him soon.
As for the latter, it was a question of whether the other party would dare to descend and cause him trouble.
In Ichibei's eyes, the people he had a relationship with were the first generation clan heads of the Five Great Noble Clans.
As for the modern Four Great Noble Clans, they were just descendants of old friends, separated by who knows how many generations. This level of connection was no different from having no connection in the eyes of that monk.
Under normal circumstances, the other party would not cause him trouble for the sake of the Four Great Noble Clans.
Even if something unexpected happened, Tatsuma was not afraid. At worst, they would fight and see whose fist was harder.
"Tatsuma, I still believe your words."
Just then, Sirzechs's voice rang out.
Unlike Azazel, he trusted Tatsuma's information more.
With the examples of the Khaos Brigade, Aizen, and Yhwach, he was very clear about the accuracy of Tatsuma's information. Since the other party said so, the matter of the Soul King was likely true.
However...
"The Four Great Noble Clans are representatives of the nobles, their status is equivalent to the Gotei 13."
"If it can be resolved peacefully, it's better not to cause a conflict. Peace is the priority."
"That depends on whether they cooperate or not." Tatsuma shrugged, indicating his stance.
Azazel stepped forward. "Leave the negotiation to me then. I'm very free now after the Three Factions Alliance."
"If you can really take over Soul Society, I'll help you negotiate with the Four Great Noble Clans and get them to cooperate."
"If you're willing to help, then naturally that's fine." Tatsuma nodded in agreement.
As the Governor of the Fallen Angels, Azazel was naturally not as simple as he appeared on the surface. If the other party was willing to help, it was a good thing for him.
Tatsuma asked, "Speaking of which, how does the Gotei 13 plan to deal with the Wandenreich?"
"Are they preparing to launch a preemptive strike? Or are they going to lay a trap to lure them out?"
Sirzechs said, "The specific plan hasn't been sent over yet, but they plan to deal with Aizen first."
Tatsuma asked, "How to deal with him? Has the Gotei 13 found a way to break Kyoka Suigetsu?"
Ajuka took out a pendant and said, "Not yet, but Azazel and I can provide assistance. This is an artificial Sacred Gear we developed, the Clear Mind Pendant."
"Wearing this pendant and applying the power of Senjutsu and Purification Magic can clear negative status effects on the soul and break free from the effects of Kyoka Suigetsu."
"Sounds a bit troublesome."
"It's very troublesome to prepare, but time is limited, so we can only do this much."
"Alright, wait a moment."
Tatsuma activated Teleportation Magic and disappeared from his seat.
Sirzechs and the others exchanged glances, not understanding what trick he was up to now.
A minute later, Tatsuma returned to his original spot. With a slap, he threw more than a dozen talismans onto the conference table.
"This thing is called a 'Divine Blessing Talisman'. It can directly break free from the influence of Kyoka Suigetsu, it's much easier to use than that pendant."
Ajuka: "?"
Azazel: "?"
Sirzechs: "?"
What kind of black technology was this again?
The three of them were stunned at the same time. Then Ajuka and Azazel each picked up a Divine Blessing Talisman and examined it carefully.
Sirzechs also took a talisman, but he was not a researcher and didn't understand this thing very well. After looking at it for a while without seeing anything, he looked at his friend who was frowning tightly and seemed a little surprised.
"Ajuka, is this talisman really as powerful as Tatsuma said?"
"...It might be even more powerful."
"More powerful?"
"Yes, this talisman is inlaid with thousands of overlapping procedures. Besides Longinus, this is the first time I've seen such a precise tool."
Ajuka looked at the other talismans on the table.
Something like this, one or two could be said to be made by luck.
But nearly twenty of them?
That could only mean the creator had mastered mature technology and could produce them stably.
Ajuka asked, "Tatsuma, can you introduce me to the creator? I'd like to meet them and ask some questions."
Tatsuma said, "I can ask them their thoughts, but not before getting permission."
Azazel put down the talisman and said, "Then help me ask as well, please."
As a researcher, he understood the value of this talisman just like Ajuka. If given the chance, he also wanted to meet the creator.
Tatsuma said, "You'd better not have too high expectations. The creator of the talismans is currently enjoying retirement life."
"No problem, this matter is up to fate."
"Yes, in the end, I'm just curious about what kind of person the production team is."
"As long as you understand."
Tatsuma didn't remind them too much, so as not to reveal Yahweh's true identity.
