After the whole day, Batsu'unsai's body was fully formed and she could wake up any second now, 'Thanks to Soifon's data, this became a lot smoother. With this, she should be able to leave Hell.'
Kisuke then turned his attention to the body made out of Magic Power. Waiting for Batsu'unsai to wake up, he has been studying it in great detail and was able to confirm that there is some sort of spell similar to a 'curse' that binds it to Hell, 'It's not just that... The curse also includes a pipeline that supplies the land with Magic Power generated by the soul. No wonder ordinary people just disappeared even though they were very lively the previous day. Their weak souls couldn't support the continuous drain and ended up dissipating into nothing.'
And because all of the people here have almost no idea of what Magic Power is or how to handle it, everyone just thought that they just died of old age.
"As expected... They just became food. But how is it for someone who has chains? Can I directly extract their souls?" While analyzing the data he got, alarms went off signaling that his patient was waking up. Kisuke gathered everything and walked towards the waiting room.
Batsu'unsai slowly opened her eyes and first saw and felt the viscous green transparent liquid draining to her feet. Soon she realized that she was inside a glass tube and that the mechanical harnesses that held her down were slowly releasing her.
A few seconds later, she dropped down and almost lost her balance. The falling feeling however woke her up and she was able to regain her footing and stand up. She looked around and as the glass tube opened up, she walked out of it and arrived at the table with a note, [The shower is on the right.]
She looked down and found herself in her birthday suit. She made her way to the shower room and saw a bunch of towels, a set of Shihakushou, her pair of glasses, and Zanpakuto, 'Of course, he'll see everything... Oh well.'
A quarter of an hour later, Batsu'unsai got out of the room and saw Kisuke waiting for her, "How are you feeling?"
Batsu'unsai didn't immediately say anything and stretched her limbs a bit more, "Except for my senses being a bit weird, nothing to note of."
"Your senses? Please explain in detail."
"It's a bit sharper but there's also this weird feeling from the air."
Kisuke thought about it for a moment before answering, "That's probably what you call Hell's Blessing. After discarding your previous body that interferes with the flow of this energy, you can feel it more clearly."
Batsu'unsai's eyes widened and muttered, "This is... Hell's Blessing?"
"I don't like calling it Hell's Blessing so I'll just call it what it is, which is Pseudo-Demonic Power or its baser form, Magic Power."
"Why call it like that?"
"I'll explain later..." Kisuke stopped speaking for a moment and started muttering to himself, "Actually, I'll just call a teacher for all of you. And thinking about it, your Zanpakuto also needs new housing..."
Upon hearing the word 'Zanpakuto', Batsu'unsai looked at hers and thought that there was now a slight disconnect between them. It's very slight that only someone with her senses will be able to notice it. Nevertheless, it's still a concerning matter for her, "What do you mean by that?"
"Ah, you must have felt it. But don't worry about it. I'll get an expert on it."
"Expert?"
"That comes later. It seems that the old man already returned with Unohana-san and Ukitake-san. You should greet them first."
"What about you?"
"I'll prepare the next batch of these special Gigais. I have a feeling that after seeing you, their inhibitions will disappear but I can only do it one at a time since I need to carefully monitor the process."
"Alright... But I'm curious. You said you wanted to do this for a much larger number of people. How are you going to deal with that?"
"About that, after doing it to everyone, I should have enough data and safety parameters to do it en masse. Once I finalize the process, it'll be no problem for me to do tens or hundreds of thousands at the same time." Kisuke was done with his final checks and opened the door, 'I actually have no problem doing it now. It's just that the first prototypes use Ophis and Great Red's flesh and blood to make. I obviously won't use something like that in mass production.'
"And if you want to test your abilities, please go do it at least ten kilometers from here."
Batsu'unsai made her way to the log house and immediately felt new presences. Her eyes shined as her best friend's Reiatsu was part of it, 'It has been a while since I felt it though it's a lot more mellow now. You've changed, huh, Retsu.'

A week later, Yamamoto, Choujirou, Furoufushi, and Chika also had their turn and are now testing their abilities in a field more than 30 kilometers away from their current lodging.
Right now, it was Retsu who's in the incubating tube and Kisuke deliberately didn't remove the chains on her body to further study the [Chaineds]. While doing so, he heard a knock on his door, "Please come in."
The door opened and a tall white-haired man dotted with black chain tattoos came in, "Ah, Ukitake-san. Good morning. What can I do for you?"
Juushirou slowly walked in and watched Kisuke operate multiple screens in front of him, "Nothing much. I was just hoping that you'd sate my curiosity."
Kisuke's hands stopped and his eyes landed on him, "Curiosity... What do you want to know?"
"After all of this is over, what do you want us to do? That's really what you're after, right?"
"We're not even sure if we could come out of this alive so there's really no point in focusing on that, is there?"
Juushirou sat on one of the chairs in front of Kisuke's table, "But that's not how you operate, right? The old man and Choujirou-san are avoiding the topic despite knowing how you do things, but unfortunately, I can't contain my curiosity. I'd really like to know if we'll land in a much worse situation than it is now."
Kisuke stayed silent for a bit before sighing. He then waved his left arm and made all the holographic screens in front of him disappear and be replaced by a tea set, "It's not really worse, per se. and I don't intend to infringe on anyone's autonomy... It's just that I was hoping that you'd lend your hand against something that is much worse than the Quincy army."
"...Much worse than that? Unbelievable..."
