Chapter 126 Journey to Japan: Searching for the Profaned Stone Tablet

"Nicole, I need you to go to Soul Society for me and send a warning to the Gotei 13 there."

Rukia's expression froze again as soon as she said that.

"What's wrong?" Nico asked curiously when Rukia suddenly fell silent again. "What are you warning me about?"

Rukia suddenly felt a little depressed again.

She originally intended to warn the Gotei 13, telling them that there would be a war in 1000, but wasn't saying it like that just a way of prompting them to prepare for war?

Now that Yhwach has learned of the upcoming war from Vlame, he has begun to prepare his army for battle.

If the Gotei 13 also find out, it's as if the two sides are fighting a war that has been prepared for over a century!

The intensity of the war will only increase then!

Wouldn't that make me the one stirring up trouble?

"I'll just say it—I'll say it—oh dear, I suddenly don't know what to say!" Rukia was almost in tears. She wasn't exactly a strategist to begin with, and even in this timeline, she hadn't really used her brain much.

"Don't panic," Nicole said, trying to comfort Rukia. "What happened? If you don't mind, tell me. Maybe I can give you some advice."

Rukia took a deep breath, calming herself down considerably.

Hearing Nicole's words, she hesitated again. After all, this concerned the desecration of the stone tablet, and she couldn't be sure that Nicole wouldn't be tempted by it.

If Nicole gets involved, it will be even more troublesome.

Rukia's eyes darted around, then she decided to try a different approach: "Nicole, I do have a very difficult question to ask you right now."

Rukia's voice was somewhat somber: "I have two good friends, but they don't know each other, and they want to kill each other because of something. Tell me—as their mutual friend, what should I do?"

"I see—" Nicole looked enlightened upon hearing this. "No wonder you're so conflicted. It is indeed a troublesome matter."

Nicole also began to ponder, seemingly trying to find a solution for Rukia.

Are these two people really that important to you?

"this----"

Rukia wanted to say that it was really important, but then she suddenly realized that at this time in Soul Society, apart from Captain-Commander Yamamoto and Captain Unohana, she didn't know almost anyone else!

Although she had always respected Captain-Commander Yamamoto and Captain Unohana, they weren't really close; it was just the kind of respect one feels when they hear their superiors' names.

After all, before Ichigo entered the Soul Society, each squad member only knew the people in their own squad and had almost no interaction with other squads.

Although Yhwach treated her fairly well, Rukia was still haunted by the memory of her past life's battle with the Quincy, which prevented her from facing Yhwach directly.

That's why Rukia was suddenly stunned when Nico asked her a question.

"Judging from your expression, I think I understand."

Nicole said, "Then let me ask you another question: was this war inevitable no matter what?"

The previous question hasn't been answered yet, and now a new one has come up, but this one is easy to answer.

Lucia nodded and said, "Yes, this war was unavoidable."

Yhwach could not possibly abandon the Blasphemous Slate; no, it should be said that once it came into existence, no one could abandon it!

"If you want to stop the conflict between the two sides, there is a rather extreme way: introduce a common enemy for both sides."

Nicole sat on the sofa, pondered for a moment, and then said, "If we have a common enemy, and that enemy is very powerful, then the two sides might abandon their previous grudges and cooperate instead."

"A third-party enemy?" Rukia thought for a moment, then smiled wryly and shook her head.

Although she had learned over the years that there were some hidden masters in this world, the two strongest factions on the surface were Yhwach's Empire of Light and the Gotei 13 of the Soul Society.

Where did they find a third-party force that could rise above them?

Holmonks?

This guy might go too, but he's not necessarily stronger than Yhwach, right? He's even less likely to be a common enemy of Soul Society and the Empire of Light.

"Then try to take it easy."

Seeing Lucia shake her head, Nicole said earnestly, "Since both of them are your friends, you should stay out of their conflict."

"If I don't participate—isn't that just fooling myself?" Rukia smiled wryly. "Sometimes, self-deception is necessary."

Nicole said softly, "In this world, you inevitably have to learn to play dumb. Bai, I can tell you're an immortal being. The advantage of immortal beings is their long lifespan, but their mental development is very slow."

"You may be older than me, but to me you're still a child."

Nicole said, "So you don't need to worry about a war that is destined to happen and cannot be avoided."

Rukia didn't speak, but simply sat on the bed with her head down.

"You can think about this yourself. I've given you all the advice I can. As for anything else, you'll have to figure it out for yourself."

Nicole stood up, picked up her witch's hat from the table, and put it on her head.

"If you're really feeling down, come to my room. I should be here for the next few days."

After saying that, Nicole left.

Rukia didn't try to stop her. Instead, after hearing the door close, she simply lay back on the soft bed.

She stared blankly at the ceiling, constantly thinking about the past, Nicole's words, and the war to come.

Yes, war between the two sides is inevitable.

After a long time, Rukia realized this again.

Therefore, no matter how much you try to persuade them, it will not work.

Even if Yhwach doesn't go, other forces will get involved, and the Soul Society will still have to participate in the war.

That's why we say this is a massive war that will affect the whole world.

this----

Perhaps it could be considered the world's first world war?

She rolled over, covered her small face with the pillow, and curled up on the bed.

Yes, she couldn't stop a war that was destined to happen and couldn't be avoided.

unless----

She was able to find that blasphemous stone tablet before she was even born!

Yes!

The war was caused by the appearance of the desecrated stone tablet in Japan. Since I knew this in advance, I could have set off for Japan now. If I could find it in advance, wouldn't I have been able to avoid the war?

Rukia sat up abruptly in bed, then jumped off, eager to return to reality!

She's going to Japan right now!
