I'm really not the number one slacker in Soul Society.

An Cang Yu Shou weakly reached out his hand towards the moon in the sky, the light in his eyes rapidly fading, but his tone remained calm: "But I am... a... replica of Gu Xu, in the system created by the Spirit King... there probably won't be a place for me."

“Who knows?” Mi Zhen said. “Since the Spirit King did not completely annihilate the Hollows, he must have only targeted your abilities.”

After a brief silence, Mi Zhen exerted force in his hand, intending to decapitate An Cang Yu Shou with a single strike.

"and many more……"

An Cang Yu Shou said with difficulty, "The fragment of the Ancient Void... is inside my... heart. Take it away."

"Oh?" Mima frowned slightly. "Why are you telling me this?"

He didn't answer Mijin's question, but just continued talking to himself.

"Since you have accepted my... inheritance, then let me give you one more piece of advice." His voice was extremely weak, almost inaudible, "The primordial nothingness... may... return. Since the Soul Society has chosen... betrayal, don't expect the Soul King to... lend a helping hand!"

"what?"

The explosive content genuinely startled Mima.

Say that again? What do you mean, "I want it back"?

That thing could wipe out the world just by standing still—to exaggerate, if we don't count the Spirit King and his eldest son, even if we piled up everyone in the Three Realms together, we probably couldn't beat a single finger of that thing.

"you……"

Mijin instinctively wanted to ask more questions, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized the messed up situation.

Dark Azure Mage has closed his eyes, and there is a very faint spiritual pressure fluctuation near his brain.

It's likely that, taking advantage of the moment he was startled, An Cang Yushou released a very weak Cero in his mind.

The brainstem was shattered, the left and right hemispheres were mashed into a paste, and the spiritual pressure was rapidly dropping to zero.

Whether it was due to his strong personality or simply his intention to play the riddle-taker and annoy Mima one last time, he probably couldn't answer Mima's question anymore.

"You really dug a huge hole for me..."

Mima pressed his temples, drawing back the spiritual pressure gathered on Ryugetsu into his body, and then gently made a cut on Ansou Mitsu's left chest.

“Fragments of the Ancient Void…and the divine sword.” Mi Zhen sighed. “I’ll accept them.”

..........................................

In mid-air above the Seireitei, a black cavity suddenly opened.

Before the three captains could react...

Then I saw... no, half a corpse being thrown out of there.

"He is dead." The brief words came from the murmur.

The three captains were taken aback and immediately turned their attention to the half-corpse that was falling.

That's right, it's the guy who disrupted Seireitei and caused huge damage.

The corpse was no longer covered in the armor made of red crystal, and was completely naked as before. In addition to the burns, there was a huge hole in his chest, which seemed to have been blasted out by something like a Cero.

The enemy's spiritual pressure had completely dissipated, clearly indicating that he had lost his life.

The person standing inside the black cavity seemed to have no intention of continuing to communicate with the captains. After throwing out the body, the black cavity quickly closed again.

The old man and Unohana, who was supporting the rotten wood ginkgo, exchanged a glance and simultaneously lowered their height. The former caught the falling body, while the latter glanced at it and nodded.

“That’s right, it’s that enemy from before.” Unohana looked up at the spot where the black box had closed: “He left to pursue…”

"It seems...that's indeed the case."

The old man looked at the corpse in his hand and frowned deeply.

He hadn't experienced such a completely out-of-control situation in a long time.

With the enemy dead, the only thing to watch out for is the suddenly appearing ally.

People shrouded in great mystery are never trusted.

Because mystery represents instability—who is he? What is his purpose? Is there any powerful force behind him? Will he threaten the Seireitei in the future?

We should naturally be grateful for the help provided in battle.

But that doesn't mean we should completely let our guard down around that stranger; that would be a foolish and reckless thing to do.

And the Seireitei wasn't the only one with problems...

He wasn't blind, so of course he noticed the huge changes happening in Rukongai.

It contained a spiritual pressure that I was once very familiar with.

Deer Tribute and Cloud Studio...

Only a fool would believe that there is no connection between two events occurring simultaneously.

The gazes of the old man, the flower of the rabbit, and the rotten tree and the silver ridge intertwined, expressing the same meaning.

"It's not over yet..."

"it is finally over……"

On the ground, Mi Zhen listened to the cheers coming from the Tian Ting Kong Luo group chat channel and sighed with emotion.

Then he thought about it and realized that it wasn't appropriate for him to remain calm in his current state.

So he said it in the group chat, disconnected the Ten-Ting Kong Luo, and lay down on the spot as if he had exhausted his spiritual pressure.

Soi Fon, who was standing next to him, quickly came over.

He wanted to reach out to help, but seeing Mima's contented expression, he stopped.

After confirming that no one was around, he sat down on the ground and relaxed his tense muscles.

The single shot of Suzumebachi Raikouben had nearly depleted her spiritual pressure. Not only did she have to endure the humiliation of her Bankai being almost useless against the enemy, but she also had to maintain vigilance under pressure. She was already exhausted.

In fact, this applies to everyone involved in this battle.

"well done."

Mima said with her eyes closed, "I will keep my promise—but I'll probably be busy with cleanup work for the next few days. I'll come find you after that."

"Um……"

Soi Fon pursed her lips, avoiding his gaze, and said calmly, "Then it's a deal!"

"Don't worry, I won't break my promise... Eh?"

He was pulled up by the arm halfway through his sentence.

"Have you used up all your spiritual pressure?"

Soi Fon casually tossed Yama onto her back, then coughed twice and said, "I'll take you to the Fourth Division."

Mima: "..."

To be honest, this posture is indeed a bit more comfortable than carrying a sack—but Soi Fon is only 1.5 meters tall, while Mima is almost 30 centimeters taller than her!

Given this height difference, being carried on someone's back feels like being a child laborer, filled with a strange sense of shame.

It's better to carry sacks...

Mi Zhen's lips twitched twice, and she simply closed her eyes and pretended to be dead.

Looking into the distance, Ukitake and Isshin's spiritual pressure appeared on the edge of Seireitei.

This trouble is finally resolved...

..........................................

In the present world, it is hidden in the cave where the divine sword is kept.

Mima plopped down on the ground. Today's battle was the most high-level one he had ever fought in his life. He had used up more than seventy cartloads of spiritual pressure and almost lost his life several times.

Physically exhausted, mentally exhausted...

Fortunately, the fatigue of the clones is calculated separately. Although one side is exhausted, the other two are still manageable, at least they won't appear so undignified.

The reason for leaving the body behind was not complicated.

—He simply couldn't make up any more stories.

Since An Cang Yu Shou has been killed, if he wants to continue chatting with Shan Lao Tou and the others, he should at least explain who he is, right?

This identity can't be used with a messenger token. It's not easy to come up with a story that can fool Old Man Shan. It's better to just show off and run away, which will save you from wasting a lot of brain cells.

"But the result was pretty good..."

Mi Zhen sighed, placed the things in her hand on the stone table in the cave, and then examined them one by one.

First is the red divine sword.

After Dark Azure Warrior died, this thing reverted to its original short sword form. Apart from its amazing hardness, it didn't exhibit any special features, unlike the Blue Divine Sword, which could burst a person with a single touch.

Mima even tried to channel some spiritual pressure, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea, with no reaction whatsoever.

Since she couldn't figure it out for the time being, Mi Zhen simply stopped thinking and used dozens or even hundreds of layers of seals to attack.

Then he threw the red divine sword aside.

Although he didn't understand the intricate sealing techniques of the Ghost Path Clan, he believed that quantity could make up for a lack of quality. Even the basic techniques taught at the True Central Spiritual Arts Academy could be rendered indestructible by repeatedly releasing many of them.

This was to prevent the Shihouin family from installing tracking devices or something similar on it. He didn't have much energy to study this right now, so he simply sealed it away.

Then there are the "fragments of the ancient void".

Mizhen stared at the irregular white "stone" about the size of a thumb knuckle on the table, lost in deep thought.

This thing is neither like meat nor bone; it's incredibly hard. When he hit it with a Cero, it didn't even leave a scratch.

But just like the red divine sword, this thing had no effect on him.

Mima was thus caught in a dilemma.

If we use historical tracing on it, we should be able to figure out the mystery of the Dark Azure Mage.

But "Gu Xu" was, after all, something that was wiped out by the Spirit King. What if the Spirit King watched it live through the internet as soon as you sat in a movie theater?

He didn't think the Spirit King would slap him to death through the internet cable—after all, the Spirit King could do that without an internet cable.

The reason is... he doesn't know what the Spirit King's intentions are towards him.

Why does King Ling always have a chat with me every time I use historical travel to meet him?
