Chimune's clone, which was holding the sealed Restoras, was about to leave when she suddenly felt a huge spike in Spiritual Power. Even though it was just her clone, she couldn't help but sweat. 'Did I really make the correct decision in helping them out? Or did I just unleash a group of terrible monsters?'
There were many questions from Indra's side regarding Aizen, but Yoruichi and the others ignored them and quickly returned home.
"Riveria, please contact some available healers and go back to Mars," Yoruichi instructed as soon as they got back on the floating island.
'For Shinji Hirako's surviving victims, huh?' Riveria thought to herself. Even now, she couldn't really imagine what it meant to have a reversed worldview. She wanted to witness it but knew she would also fall victim to it. "Got it, but it might take some time. I've been receiving news that conflicts between Indra and Shiva's sides are still raging in various parts of the globe. Not to mention the independent Etoulde and Evie forces making things worse for those who didn't take any side."
"Then we're coming with you," Furoufushi proposed, with Batsu'unsai stepping up beside her. "We can't stay still with all of those skirmishes. We're already involved, so we might as well see it through to the end."
"Thanks." Yoruichi then turned to Ichigo and Renji. "What about the two of you?"
Renji and Ichigo looked at each other before the latter answered, "We're going back. If we go any further, we'll get an earful."
"I see... I appreciate your help. I'll ask someone to guide you back, but I'll get back to you later." Yoruichi replied, and soon, one of her girls, whom she had recruited in Nenvetune, an Etoulde territory, appeared and led the two away.
With Riveria, Furoufushi, and Batsu'unsai leaving as well, Yoruichi was left with Retsu, Soifon, and Serafall.
After taking a few steps with them, Soifon suddenly asked, "Are you sure you can let Aizen roam around like that?"
"…We can only trust Kisuke, since even if we do something, we'll only make things worse," Yoruichi gave a brief answer. "For now, let's meet Sona and Aika. I'm pretty sure the latter is not feeling well."
"Let's go! I also want to see Sona-chan. It has been a while since she used that black water. I'm worried about her other personality coming out." Serafall walked past Yoruichi and began leading the way.
Soifon, meanwhile, stopped for a moment before saying, "I'm going to Kurotsuchi. I can't settle down when I don't have any idea of what he might be doing."
"Sure, I'll leave it to you. I doubt he'll do anything drastic, but it doesn't hurt to be on guard."

The height of conflict across the world would increase and last for a long time. But as soon as the news of Etoulde executives dying and the Evie executives leaving spread, it started slowing down, with momentum shifting back to the neutrals led by Sirzechs, Michael, Azazel, Zeus, Odin, and Amaterasu.
When the rumor of Restoras and Regalzeva disappearing started circulating, a retreat order from both the Etoulde and Evie sides was issued. It took only a few days before they almost completely departed from Draconic Deus due to fear of the volatile situation.
A few more days later, the barrier surrounding Draconic Deus was restored, trapping any remaining fighting forces of the alien factions that wanted to observe the situation longer.
Indra and Shiva's factions, on the other hand, were severely fractured. While most of Indra's faction came out alive, they soon began turning against each other to separate from their faction. Without Indra to settle their unease, it devolved into smaller conflicts, each trying to avoid responsibility and accountability from the now very strong neutrals.
Shiva's faction not only fractured but was also actively hunted down for siding with the Evies, who caused the most casualties among everyone. With news of their leader's death, they could only hide in the darkest parts of the Dimensional Gap, losing their place forever.
Ten days after the monumental battle that occurred on Mars, Sona, Serafall, Yoruichi, and Medusa gathered in the war room, assisting with global post-war efforts in hopes that civilians could return to their normal lives as soon as possible.
"Are you sure about this?" Sona asked Yoruichi after reviewing her proposal.
"The other side also wanted it to happen. If they want a place here, it's a great time to get started," Yoruichi answered with a nod.
Sona looked back at the papers in her hand, which were the same as Serafall's. "Shall we give a part of the Underworld to them?"
Yoruichi and Sona's eyes widened. "Is that even possible?" Sona asked.
"Of course~! I just received some news from Sirzechs-chan. I heard he received a substantial amount of assets from Zekram Bael's faction after their negotiation, and he didn't really need it. We can give a part of it to them as 'payment,'" Serafall cheerfully explained.
Yoruichi contemplated for a moment before responding, "Well... That sounds nice, but doesn't that mean we'll only become indebted to him?"
"Nope. They are the ones who will take advantage of this, as it appears they did nothing at all. As you know, the Ouroboros Academy was the greatest contributor to resolving this global crisis, and they just want a bit of that popularity to keep their citizens happy and their reputation up."
What Sona and Serafall were discussing was the proposal to use the Special Region to supply resources to the war-devastated regions of the world. After the war, the lack of resources for restoration became very apparent, as not a single faction was unaffected. They wanted to use their own resources for themselves first, which might not even be enough for complete restoration.
This left the vast majority of the world destitute, waiting for others who still had spare resources.
Since the Gotei 13 wanted to establish a foothold in Draconic Deus, Kyouraku had immediately presented the resources available within the Special Region, which was several times larger than Earth and had become a ghost world after all of its inhabitants joined the cycle of souls.
Right now, the only things living there were the remaining maggots and flies that hadn't been exterminated, along with a few special cases of 'Hell's Beasts' that were being actively researched.
In other words, it was a vast land filled with materials.
"I guess we should start arranging a special team to extract those resources," Sona muttered while listing names on her free hand.
At that moment, a knock came at the door, and when the four of them turned around, they saw Irina entering the room. "You guys have to see this," she said while presenting them with a tablet.
