"Huh!!"

"What the actual fuck.."

"Who are these people?"

"Tche.. They are here too.. Show off... Coming at the end.."

"Assholes.."

"Wait, you know these people?" Marc could not help but ask the Captains who had different reactions from them. None of the Midnight Sons and Daughters knew of these new people, except for John.

"Yes. They are the assholes of our Seireitei." Mayuri said.

"You mean a bigger asshole than you?" Wanda asked.

"Yes." came the reply but not from Mayuri but from Urahara.

"They are the 0th squad of Seireitei. The Royal Guards of the Soul King." John replied this time because these Captains were never going to acknowledge that the Royal Guards were better than them. Their egos were too high up for them to accept.

"Royal Guards.. That's new.. never heard of them.. You knew about them?" Strange couldn't help but ask John to which he nodded.

"Then why didn't they show up for Aizen?" Mordo asked as he was confused. These Royal Guards looked like they were more powerful than the Captains,

No offence!

"They are the Royal Guards and only for the protection of the Soul King. They are not supposed to attack. Only when the Soul King's interest is affected would the Royal Guards act." John explained their origin in the simplest ways possible.

"You are late." Yamamoto said in his same old tone. All of these Royal Guards were under him once.

"We saw that you are able to handle him perfectly. Don't want to take away your thunder lest your precious captains accuse us of taking all the credit." Ichibe, leader of the 0th division said.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

As everybody was confused, the other four officers of the 0th division brought out the sealed Soul King.

Yes, Soul King!! The being that was responsible for the maintenance of Soul Society, Human World and Hueco Mundo in the manga.

That was the plan of John. He wanted to use the power of Soul King to assimilate the broken soul of Mephisto and seal him inside the same seal as Soul King forever and replace Soul King as the controller of the dimension.

John never understood how the Soul King worked but the powers of him were undeniable. Since there was no Yhwach here, he could easily command the Soul King to take over the soul of Mephisto.

The other people who looked at the sealed person who didn't have arms or legs were confused, because like the 0th squad they had no idea who this sealed being was.

Senjumaru, the 4th officer of the 0th squad, used her robotic hands to open the seal of Soul King. Though it wouldn't be opened fully, a little bit would be fine to assimilate the broken soul of Mephisto.

The moment a crack came at the seal, an invisible Reiatsu pressure enveloped the entire Hell. Mephisto was angry about the emergence of the new people and he was thinking of making some demons and sending them to hunt these people. He had lost his body and he needed time and souls to make his body again.

He was in his own world and making plans to counter attack, but that Reiatsu pressure that came from the Soul King woke up from his daydreams. And then the pain came!!

The pain of getting his soul sucked away by something.

"No.. No.. What is this? Who is this? What is happening?" Mephisto screamed. His screams of pain were audible in all of Hell.

"So it is working." Ichibe smiled when he said that. All of Soul Society and John were baking on this from the start.

His soul.

And souls were the best thing that the Soul Society had the greatest proficiency in, or else the whole name of Soul Society would be just a blot. John knew that killing his body wouldn't do shit to Mephisto. Only his soul was what he was after.

"No.. Please stop.. I will do anything for you, whoever you are... I will be your servant.. But please stop." Mephisto as he noticed his soul was getting totally sucked away now in full speed inside a seal.

"That's a tempting offer. Don't you think? An ancient elder God begging to be a servant." John said.

"Yeah. Even I am tempted. The knowledge he might possess would be unimaginable." Strange said.

"If only he was a little honest all his life, maybe we would have considered it." Mordo said as the screams and wailing stopped after a few seconds. And the moment the screaming stopped the whole red colored skies and land changed.

The red colored hue that was all over the place by a distinct white colored surrounding. Even that land looked a light shade of white under the white skies.

"That was fast. I thought he would struggle more." Mordo said.

John meanwhile was checking his system if there was anything wrong with Soul King. If Soul King had a problem then he would have no other ways to handle Mephisto, other than destroying the whole dimension itself but it might create imbalance on Earth.
