With a gentle flap of her wings, Rias arrived in the Human World.
The world of the Soul Reapers was originally a single whole, but it was later divided by the power of the Soul King.
The Human World, Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and Hell—
To enter Soul Society, one must inevitably pass through a channel, which is the Dangai.
To enter Hueco Mundo, one must either use a special gate made by Soul Society or pass through a Garganta.
Similarly, entering Hell is the same; one must pass through the Hell Gate.
Rias, however, had no need for the Dangai. By simply flapping her wings, she could tear a hole in space and emerge directly into the Human World.
Incidentally, the Dangai is a space where several layers of severed dimensions overlap, surrounded by a torrent of time. The density of time within it is overwhelmingly higher than in the outside world.
Converted into numbers, it is 2000 times greater. While one year passes in the outside world, 2000 years would have passed inside the Dangai.
In the past, this Dangai served as both a passage to the Human World and a place of exile, which is why the Kōryū and Kōtotsu exist there.
In other words, as long as one can withstand the Kōryū and Kōtotsu, it is a sacred training ground.
Of course, it's also possible to train until your time completely runs out~
Upon arriving in the Human World of the Soul Reaper world, Rias searched for a while before finding the location of Karakura Town.
Using Heavenly Transfer to move, it took her only thirty seconds to find the place, including the time spent searching.
Focusing her attention on her vision, the Formula began to operate, and a red light flickered in Rias's eyes.
This was the sign of the Hakai Hōteishiki engraved in her eyes being activated.
Unlike Sacred Gears, which are physical products, Rias's control over the Power of Destruction also required a Magic Formula to undergo a qualitative change.
However, Rias had emulated the Flugel by engraving the Magic Formula onto her body, allowing her to use it directly whenever needed.
In a way, it was a bit like the Rinnegan?
With that thought, the world in Rias's eyes changed.
Red light formed lines and points of void, and the entire world reflected in her eyes appeared tattered and broken.
With just a single thought, everything—including space itself—would be destroyed by Rias.
With deeper focus, she could even destroy concepts.
Equation of Destruction One: Destruction Demonic Eye.
"Found them."
After deploying the Destruction Demonic Eye, everything in the world became clearly visible and could be destroyed with a mere thought.
If she were to let go of her restraint, the world would collapse in an instant.
It was quite a dangerous ability.
In an instant, Rias crossed through space and arrived before a barrier.
Strolling inside, Rias released a tiny bit of her aura.
Instantly, a suppressive force like the Heavenly Limit appeared.
Terror, fear—it was almost impossible to breathe.
The tangible pressure manifested inside the dilapidated apartment.
"Eight people in total, all of them are here."
Rias smiled and then withdrew her pressure.
The pressure of a Transcendent-level qualitative change was enough to make people so terrified they could hardly move.
If she were to mix magic power into that pressure, their spiritual bodies would likely disintegrate instantly.
"Hello there~"
Rias waved her hand and said, "Although I intended to get straight to business, I suppose it's better to show my strength first."
"Who are you?"
Hirako Shinji asked solemnly.
"Your reaction is so boring."
Rias smiled, then took out two Hōgyoku that were pressed together.
"That is... the Hōgyoku?!"
Hirako Shinji cried out in shock.
"That's right."
Rias smiled and said, "Two Hōgyoku. One was taken from a certain soul body; it was clearly hidden away on purpose by Kisuke Urahara. As for the other one..."
"You bastard, what is your relationship with Aizen?!"
Hiyori Sarugaki roared, trying to rush forward but was held back by Hirako Shinji.
"Hmm... as for our relationship, Aizen has just become my subordinate. How does that sound?"
Rias laughed.
"What?!"
"That Aizen?!"
"How is that possible? That's Aizen we're talking about!!"
The surrounding reaction was so intense that Rias couldn't help but laugh, saying, "I 'took' this Hōgyoku from Aizen. If you can snatch it away, even Aizen would be livid."
"So, do you want to give it a try?"
"Rest assured, I won't take your lives."
Rias said with a smile.
"Damn it, you're just a little girl!!"
Hiyori Sarugaki clenched her fists, the veins on her forehead bulging.
"In that case..."
"Take this!!"
Mashiro Kuna swiped her hand across her face, a mask appearing on her face as she simultaneously appeared beside Rias, launching a kick.
With a thud, Mashiro Kuna's leg stopped thirty centimeters away from Rias.
"Decent power."
Rias chuckled, and with a mere thought, Mashiro Kuna was sent flying with a'snap'.
"But it's only decent. At most, it's at the level of being able to wrestle with a High-Class Devil."
If she were facing the future Sairaorg, being one-shotted wouldn't be impossible~
"Mashiro!!"
The members of the Visoreds cried out in alarm.
"Ouch!"
Mashiro Kuna stood up, then fell flat on the ground with a thud as her mask dissipated.
"Sorry, I don't think I can stand up."
Mashiro Kuna stuck out her tongue.
Seeing that she had only lost her fighting capacity and hadn't sustained major injuries, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"You guys are far too weak. Isn't it a bit naive to think you can get revenge on Aizen with this level of strength?"
Rias tilted her head and said, "Over a hundred years... even a pig could fly by now after that long. You haven't just been wasting your time, have you?"
"..."
"Aaaah, I can't take it anymore!!"
Hiyori Sarugaki couldn't stand it. She swung her fist back, hitting Hirako Shinji in the nose to make him let go.
She also swiped her hand across her face, and after her Hollowfication, she drew her sword and rushed forward.
"Chop him down, Kubikiri Orochi!!"
Her sword changed after its Shikai, the blade turning into a large cleaver with a row of neat notches along the edge.
Then, Rias caught it with a single finger.
"Is that it?"
Rias smiled and said, "Where is your Bankai? Aren't you going to use it?"
"Damn it..."
Hiyori Sarugaki's muffled voice came through the mask; it was clear she was putting in all her strength.
"Could it be that you don't know Bankai?"
Rias looked surprised and said, "No way, no way, no way? I could use Bankai directly within an hour of getting my Asauchi. Surely there isn't anyone who can't use Bankai, right?"
"What?!"
Hiyori Sarugaki's eyes widened. "How could anyone learn Bankai in an hour!! And right after getting an Asauchi? Are you mocking me!!"
Boom!!
Hiyori Sarugaki was sent flying into the air, then landed limply on the ground with a 'thud'.
"I'm not. It's the truth."
Rias said calmly, "It's just that you're too weak and lack ambition."
"Nonsense."
Hirako Shinji said angrily, "We've been training very hard."
With that, he drew his blade.
"Collapse, Sakanade!"
"Oh, right, let me give you a reminder," Rias said. "My body is constantly enveloped in a layer of Power of Destruction; nothing that would affect me can penetrate it. Whether it's illusions, fragrances, or even a 'gaze,' it will trigger a backlash."
"In other words, any special ability will be destroyed the moment it touches me."
"So, what are you going to do next~"
Rias showed a pleasant smile, as if she were bullying children.
