Looking through the two circular portals that just appeared in front of him he could see that they led into two places, one of them even familiar to him.
The first space, the one the portal on his right led to, which was also the familiar one is the bright white infinite space he appeared in the previous time he was here after he escaped from this darkness.
As for the second one, through the portal to his left, he saw a space that was a mixture of colours, It would have made him dizzy if he weren't just a soul without a physical body, there were even some colours that he didn't even know existed or have seen before.
In that colorful endless space also floated an endless amount of spheres of all colours, looking from where he was it seemed that they were the same size as his soul.
Seeing this screen he was immediately startled, the familiar white space didn't affect him much as he's been there before but that endless colourful one certainly did.
And the reason for that was all those bright colourful spheres just peacefully floating in there, only one thing came to his mind as he looked at them, 'souls!?.' but as he observed again he noticed something different, 'I am no expert on souls, but, all the ones I've seen so far, which is basically only mine, are pure white, so why are the ones in there different colours? could they be something else and not souls!?.' he wondered.
'And What is happening here!?, This is nothing like last time, I didn't even struggle when I opened the two spaces before me, is it because I am stronger now?.' he thought to himself as he kept observing the spaces in front of him not knowing what to do in this situation,'No, even if I was stronger it still shouldn't have been that smooth, it felt as if I didn't do anything and that the space just reacted to my thoughts and obeyed my will as if I have some sort of authorization or something!?.'
As this thought crossed his mind he immediately rejected it due to how absurd it seemed, and the more he thought about it the more ridiculous it sounded but he couldn't get it out of his mind or think of any other explanation apart from that, and strangely the more he thought about it the more he felt that it is the truth.
So to not waste his time and focus on the more pressing issue he decided to throw it to the back of his mind for now as he did to a lot of other things recently that the back of his mind is cluttered, and he focused on the unfamiliar space in front of him.
'Should I go in!?." he wounded to himself, but after thinking for a while he decided to go with the safest option first and go to the White space like he did last time, he didn't know what the other place held for him, for all he knows he may never be able to exit it if he goes inside, or worse his souls may just dissipate in there with him not being able to do anything about it.
'If going to the white space doesn't work then I will try it, and even if it did maybe I'll have another chance if I come back here agai…' he Thought, but mid-thought he stopped as he realized where his train of thought was heading, as the only way he knows of to come back here is to die again, and with that he noticed something startling about himself.
'It seems like that I am becoming umore accepting of the idea of death as if it is just some normal thing to go back and forth between both worlds.' he Thought, and if he had a body he would be frowning now.
'That is a dangerous mindset, I still don't know anything about my current situation and what is the price to pay for my current "perks", only a fool would think they are special and all of this comes for free.' he thought.
He had a lot of different thoughts and theories about his situation, but for now, they were only that, he couldn't confirm any of them.
So making his choice he moved through the portal leading to the bright white space, as he entered both the portals closed behind him, and the empty infinite dark space returned to its previous state of silence and calm.
**********
In the equally endless bright white space, a gray perfect sphere was speeding through it at an incomprehensible speed by normal standards.
But no matter how far or fast it went it was all the same around him as if it wasn't moving at all.
That sphere was obviously aizen and for the past 1 month, and he knew because he never stopped counting in his head, he has been speeding through this dimension but it bore no results.
He tried every trick he could think of but it was all the same, nothing worked, although he discovered a pretty pleasant surprise while he was testing ways to get out of here.
Sometime ago when he was trying to sense and feel the space around him to get an idea about how to leave he sensed a feeling from inside of his soul, so following that feeling he concentrated on it and tried to see what it was, and when he did he was shocked.
There in the depths of his soul was a very tiny familiar wisp of energy, as he tried moving it he confirmed his suspicion, 'CHAKRA!!?' he shouted in his head not understanding how this could be possible.
Chakra was the result of physical and spiritual energies fusing together but right now he was nothing more than a soul without a body.
Thinking that it was just something left behind from before he died he tried directing a very very tiny part of it outside of his soul and it dissipated soon after, but after a whole the chakra he just used was recovered confirming his suspicions.
'How is this even possible, I am producing chakra without a body!!?.' he thought bewildered.
But even if he was happy about it, it still didn't help him to get out of his current predicament.
After spending another week in that space burning his "brain" cells to come out with a way out he finally gave up.
'In the end, it seems I still have to risk it and enter that dimension.' he thought, remembering that colourful space with the floating spheres from a month ago.
'sigh.' sighing he concentrated, intending to open the previous two portals, and immediately two portals appeared in front of him just like before.
In one portal was that colourful dimension he saw before, and in the other portal was the dark space he came from a month ago.
Staring at them for a while he thought, 'well what's the worst that can happen am already dead, it can't get any worse right!?.' and with that, he rushed at it crossing the portal, which not long after he crossed it disappeared along with the other one.
(let me here your guess what is that extra space, what are the sphere, what do u think will happen next)
