Playing With Other Supernaturals C.1267 Moving Forward

"Kisuke..." Ophis muttered while also facing the same direction as Aizen.

"...Urahara?" Aizen turned to her with a stunned expression, "That's Urahara?"

But before Ophis could say anything, Serafall came flying towards them with a similarly panicked expression, "Ophis-chan! Contact Flanna-chan and tell her to prepare and create a barrier for the three worlds!"

Ophis nodded and attempted to connect with her fellow Dragon. But before she could establish the connection, the terrifying aura suddenly disappeared as if it wasn't real.

Ophis turned her head in confusion before looking at Serafall and asked, "Do you still want me to?"

But without any hesitation, Serafall nodded, "Yes." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"Understood."

Ophis started talking to Flanna and despite this, Serafall still had a worried expression. Aizen was a bit taken aback since she was normally nonchalant even while facing him and Yhwach, "Why the long face?"

Serafall was quiet for a bit before letting out a huge sigh, "If that's the Tiamat that I know, then I'm worried that she'll flood the whole world by accident."

Back then when they were trying to suppress Tiamat, Serafall didn't mistake that her weakness was the norm. If Kisuke didn't proactively and preemptively seal most of her abilities back then, then there's no way for her to stop the black mud that she released like she did.

"I know Ki-tan would be able to stop her black mud... But if by any chance she bypassed that restriction and that corrupting substance spilled into the three worlds..." Serafall shuddered as she finished her thoughts, "...Let's just say that the insects that are invading now would be a minor problem if compared to that."

At that moment, Serafall's communicator started ringing and when she looked down on it, she saw Claire's name, "What's up, Claire-chan?"

[Sera-neechan! What's happening? The enemies are retreating!]

'What?' She thought and returned to her table immediately. As Claire had said, the current heat map was showing that the threats, not just in Claire's area, but also throughout the whole world are disappearing, "How does it look?"

[The moment that weird aura washed over them, without hesitation and with no exceptions, they all turned their backs and started retracing their paths while losing all the coordination they had prior. And even if we tried attacking them, we couldn't get any form of retaliation. We're currently trying to eliminate as many of them as possible.]

"Understood. Don't chase them beyond the Dimensional Gap and overextend yourselves. Once the threats are at minimum levels, proceed to recover and prepare the damage report. If there are immediate issues like major injuries, go straight to the appropriate departments. I'll announce a gathering later once I have more information on my side. Finally, relay the things I've just told you to Kunou-chan and Tanis-chan."

[I'll be on my way.]

"Alright and be careful. But don't let your guard down yet. If you notice something strange, report it to me immediately."

[I got it, Sera-neechan. I'll be careful.]

The call got disconnected and Serafall hurriedly moved to relay the same information she got to all of her contacts. Naturally, Serafall knew that their retreat had something to do with Kisuke, however, it was precisely because of that she reminded everyone things could become more dangerous.

She then tried contacting Kisuke through their special class telepathy that was derived from LeFay's Magic but was surprised not to get any sort of response, '...He's not dead, right?' The worst possible scenario instantly entered her head but she shook away such thoughts right away, 'That can't be. These guys wouldn't retreat if he's actually gone. On the contrary, the enemy was probably forced to gather all of their forces so that he could face him.'

Serafall let out a huge breath in an attempt to calm herself down and stop thinking of the worst. But even the normally very positive Serafall couldn't help but descend into extreme worry. After all, the special class telepathy was created for moments like these and there are only two possibilities when it doesn't work. Either the recipient is in a far-off world, '...Or dead... It can't be, right?'

She was about to descend into madness and started thinking of how she could follow him when a hand suddenly landed on her shoulder, "!?"

She hurriedly turned around and was shocked that she didn't feel her approach, "...Ophis-chan..." Serafall saw her own reflection in Ophis' eyes before she could say anything. It was a face of devastation. She didn't realize she was making that face.

"He won't perish. Not from something like this." Ophis confidently uttered.

Serafall looked straight into her eyes and her confidence is just what she needed, "You're right. What am I thinking?" She replied while displaying a wry smile.

Unbeknownst to her, Aizen and Yhwach had also approached and the former said, "Urahara is surely blessed with great and loyal people. Not what I was expecting for someone like him."

Although it sounded like an insult, Serafall was aware that was the furthest from the truth. Like Kisuke, Aizen was also a calculative person. There's hardly any loyalty around him. And even if there was any, it was only supported by benefits and interests. The moment those are gone, it's either betrayal or being betrayed, "He only trusted a few people and now he's surrounded by a lot more. I wonder what happened in that short amount of time?"

"Life." Serafall shortly answered. She has already calmed herself down.

Aizen took another look at her and asked, "I wasn't interested at first, but now I'm curious. What's your relationship with him?"

"Future wife." Serafall gave another short answer.

Aizen, on the other hand, was taken aback, "Really? I was certain he was together with Shihouin Yoruichi. Looks like I was mistaken."

Again, Serafall gave a short answer that surprised not just Aizen, but also Yhwach, "She's the first wife."

Both were surprised that Kisuke actually had the personality to accept two spouses at once.

But the real kicker came from Lilith's mouth, "And she's the 10th."

Aizen and Yhwach were actually too stunned to say anything.

There was silence for about 30 seconds until Serafall supplemented with a proud expression, "My dear little sister is the 2nd wife~!"

"That's debatable." Ophis instantly retorted.

At that moment, Aizen burst out into a loud laughter, "Fuhahaha! Looks like he's a better king than you, o king of Quincies."

Yhwach didn't say anything until the end but still found the situation amusing.

"Anyways, it seems that this whole 'war' will soon end and it's about time that I fulfill my end of the bargain." Aizen started walking away.

It was also thanks to his words that more confidence sprung out of Serafall, "Your end of the bargain?"

"To open a path from this world to your world." Aizen stopped walking and turned his head towards them, "Claire Belial, is it? I just need to assist her." He didn't wait any longer and disappeared from the isolated space.

"...I hope it doesn't devolve into bloodshed." Serafall muttered while thinking what might happen when a 'criminal' like him meets his former adversaries.
