Upon discovering the location of his belongings, Silas wasted no time venturing there. He was swift in his movements, passing through corridors and shifting through cracks—all without raising a single alarm or being spotted.

　　Once he made it to Central 46, the first thing he did was try to merge with the compound. The drawback to using this ability was that it required time to fully merge with the surroundings. By the time he finished, he knew exactly where his confiscated items were.

　　In a locked box, stored in a room with assorted items considered dangerous, were his ZanpakutM and the rest of his things. Silas wasted no time entering the room. There were quite the many things in here. Such things as a list of forbidden kidM spells and weapons belonging to characters he had never heard of before.

　　If anything, he could easily read or tamper with those objects. But none of them seemed of interest. Silas`s own power was more than enough to govern the path he treaded on.

　　Using Urozakuro`s ability, he merged with the compartment and unlocked it. Inside was his weapon and the Bible. It was strange to consider they`d lock this away. When he looked at it, he confirmed that the text was still present. Whatever reason they weren`t able to read its contents only proved that there was more to why Silas was sent here in the first place.

　　Storing the Bible in his garments, he picked up Zangetsu. The sword still didn`t respond to his calling. It stayed in its katana form, unable to hear its owner`s voice. Zangetsu wasn`t a sword that should ever be discarded, so he safely stored it around his waist.

　　Perhaps EnrakyMten could mimic any and all other ZanpakutM`s abilities, didn`t mean that it could copy their power`s output. Much like when Tokinada tried to copy Zangetsu`s getsuga tenshM, the difference in destructive force was apparent. Zangetsu carried a vast amount of spiritual pressure. That meant that unless Tokinada had the same spiritual powers, he couldn`t mimic how much force the getsuga tenshM could unleash.

　　That`s also what made Ichigo Kurosaki a formidable adversary.

　　Silas flipped to a few pages in the Bible to confirm the truth. A certain verse struck him.

　　`Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (Philippians 4:8).`

　　After reading it, he had a strong resolve to continue.Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

　　Now came something important that he had to check. Because he had slain Yoruichi, he had to understand what her family was doing upon discovering her premature death.

　　In the story, Yoruichi was a part of the ShihMin family, one of the four great noble families. In it, she was considered a princess, having multiple merits in various categories. Most of them were fighting. But now that she was dead, the balance in political power was bound to change.

　　Traversing through the air, Silas made it to their district. Their land and homes were just as grand and spectacular as the Tsunayashiro`s. It was never expanded upon in the animation, but he found the saturated complex akin to a lavished suburb from earth.

　　This particular family leads the Stealth Force division. They are also the guardians of many treasured tools and precious armaments. Considered that every head of the ShihMin family is tasked with protecting these armaments, all of their members have been dignified as captain-level fighters.

　　Silas phased through wooden walls and all manners of homes and agencies until he found what he was looking for. There, in an office, was a detailed report of what had happened in the ShihMin family. He quickly skimmed it, looking for any apparent changes.

　　`With the loss of Yoruichi ShihMin, YkshirM Sakimune ShihMin will be raised indefinitely to ensure the prosperity of the family. He may be young, and the twenty-third head, but he has shown promise of exceeding what his late elder sister had accomplished. We will therefore hone his abilities so that he may one day lead the Stealth Force. This vote has been unanimously agreed upon by the elders of the ShihMin family.`

　　Silas returned the files, understanding their content. YkshirM ShihMin was the younger brother of Yoruichi. He was indeed a talented Soul, able to learn things like shunkM in a short amount of time. He was also written to have been very talented in terms of speed. But without proper guidance, he was less likely to learn shunkM now.

　　This was because it was Yoruichi who had taught him the technique in the first place.

　　Silas ventured to where he was staying. In a decked-out room with all manner of rich tapestry and a bed made up of fine linen was a sleeping YkshirM. He measured the boy`s spiritual pressure, deciding that he was far from anything special. In a few years` time, maybe the boy will pose a threat. But for now, he was nothing worth considering.

　　Just then, a pain jolted Silas`s chest.

　　"Haha! You`ve been using my power so much that I can`t keep helping you anymore," EnrakyMten announced.

　　It was inevitable that this would happen. Silas had been using EnrakyMten so much that he hadn`t been accounting how much time he had left. In truth, he could have had more time to live had he not activated its Bankai.

　　With one calm breath, he stopped trying to merge with anymore of the Seireitei. Every power and ability he had needed to be concentrated on one thing: retrieving Rukia. If he could secure her again, conscious or unconscious, he could safely extract the HMgyoku. And he knew exactly where she was: the Kuchiki district.

　　Silas absolutely had to have Rukia. To him, it didn`t matter how infatuated she was. Hate him or love him, he was planning to capture her at all costs. As long as he had the opportunity to do that, a lot of his discomforts, such as EnrakyMten taking his life away, would be handled.

　　Without a moment`s notice, he at once took flight toward her whereabouts.
