Death: Then stood in the sky.

"Hmm, a lot."

"No, that's too much. Ugh, I can't eat anymore."

"Waaah."

Chapter 105 Can't suck it dry, absolutely can't suck it dry

Nilu's little face was full of shock.

Because the spiritual pressure of the person in front of her seemed to have no limit. No matter how much she absorbed it, it would keep replenishing and overwhelming her.

It's hard to suck dry.

It's impossible to absorb it completely.

But... how could this be?

A massive amount of spiritual pressure kept gushing out, and Nilu frantically waved her little hands to cheer herself up.

However, in just a few minutes, she collapsed to the ground, seemingly too full to even remember her own name.

Aoshi's gaze fell upon Nel, who was full and her belly was already bulging.

"As expected, there was no problem."

By stopping the release of spiritual pressure, Seiji was completely certain that this was feasible.

By feeding on the Hogyoku and her own spiritual pressure, Nel can accelerate the speed at which she recovers her power and accumulates spiritual pressure more quickly.

Moreover... he also received unexpected benefits.

Aoshi's gaze fell on his chest.

The fusion with the Hōgyoku has progressed even further.

Although it was very faint, I could feel it.

So, having one's spiritual pressure drained by Nel is also beneficial to one's evolution?

"So...so full..."

"I can't eat anymore, I can't eat any more."

Nilu let out a burp and tried to sit up, but after glancing at her belly, she slumped back down.

Fortunately, I ate it all without wasting a single bit.

......

Division 10.

A group of Shinigami dressed in Shinigami uniforms walked around, quickly formed ranks, and completed the handover of the mission with the Shinigami who returned to their barracks.

As one of the combat units of the Gotei 13, the 10th Division is responsible for the defense of Seireitei. The members of the division form patrol teams to guard the entire Seireitei.

Sometimes, they also take on the responsibility of escorting important items.

After completing their shifts, the returning Grim Reapers dispersed.

A young Grim Reaper wandered aimlessly until he accidentally bumped into a decorative stone sculpture in the corridor, which brought him back to his senses with a cry of pain.

"Hey, kid over there, don't run around!"

The older, middle-aged Grim Reaper shouted, "That's where the captain and vice-captains are. Do you have some grievance against me that you want to complain to them about?"

Clearly, he was inexplicably irritable.

The young Grim Reaper quickly apologized.

"Hey, don't bother the vice-captain's work. The captain... she's already working so hard."

"Hey! Senior, you said Captain Isshin also..."

"He must still be alive!"

The middle-aged Grim Reaper interrupted him, rushed over, grabbed him, and shouted, "Captain Isshin, he must still be alive!"

Hearing the commotion, Matsumoto Rangiku happened to come out from around the corner of the corridor and frowned upon seeing the scene.

"Tanaka."

"Lieutenant Rangiku!"

“I understand how you feel right now, but put it down and don’t take your anger out on the team.”

"Yes!"

Tanaka put down the young Grim Reaper, hesitated for a few seconds, then lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry."

The young Grim Reaper also bowed to him, saying, "It was my rudeness."

"It's alright. Vice Captain Rangiku is right. I was a bit irritable and took it out on you. Everyone saw it. It was my fault." Tanaka waved his hand, dismissing the young Shinigami.

Then, she looked at Matsumoto Rangiku, who looked visibly exhausted, and said, "Rangiku, don't you really need to rest? Since you came back, you've been dealing with the backlog of team affairs and calming down the restless members..."

"It's alright, Tanaka Shichika. It's precisely at times like these that we can't let our guard down." Matsumoto Rangiku rubbed her temples, her voice weak.

Shiba Isshin's disappearance was a fatal blow to the morale of the 10th Division.

Therefore, as the vice-captain, she absolutely cannot choose to remain hidden in this situation; she must step forward.

If even she looks lost and anxious, the team members who have no one to rely on will only feel even worse.

Just as Tanaka Nanase was about to speak, he saw someone walking over. "It's Toshiro."

In their line of sight, a white-haired boy who was only about 1.3 meters tall stood in front of them.

Hitsugaya Toshiro sighed. "Tanaka Seventh Seat, how many times have I told you? Please address me as Hitsugaya Third Seat. My position is higher than yours, so you should at least treat me with similar respect, if not more."

"But your height is too deceptive, I really can't see you as my superior."

Tanaka Shichika scratched his head and said, "Just imagine, the enemy originally wanted to pick a weak opponent, but because of Hitsugaya Sansuke's height, they misjudged your strength. No matter how you look at it, such a thing could happen."

"?"

Hitsugaya Toshiro's forehead veins bulged, his eyelids twitched, and he roared, "Say that again, and I'll kill you!"

His height is a source of eternal pain for him!

"I'm just stating the facts." Tanaka Nanase turned to look at him.

"?"

Hitsugaya Toshiro laughed.

If the situation weren't so inappropriate, he would have shown this guy what it meant to really hurt his teammates.

"Rangiku, the vice-captain."

Just then, shouts came from afar, followed by a series of approaching footsteps.

The young Grim Reaper, who had just left, ran back. "Vice Captain, someone has come to visit you."

"I?"

Matsumoto Rangiku frowned, wondering who would come to visit her at a time like this.

“It’s Seiji Ukitake from the 13th Division,” the young Shinigami said.

“It’s him.” Tanaka Shichika recognized him.

He didn't know much about Seiji Ukitake, but he knew that Vice-Captain Rangiku often stayed out all night drinking with him, so they must be good friends, and she would probably become the new captain of the 10th Division.

Because he frequently visits the 10th Division, he is very familiar with the route here and does not need a guide at all. Ukitake Seiji quickly appeared in their line of sight.

Tanaka Nanase turned his gaze to Matsumoto Rangiku with concern, but was clearly taken aback when he saw the vulnerability in her eyes.

In his memory, he had never seen Vice Captain Matsumoto Rangiku look like this before.

Even though the 10th Division Captain Shiba Isshin disappeared in the human world, Matsumoto Rangiku immediately took on her responsibility, comforting the 10th Division members and allowing the division to smoothly transition until the next captain took office.

So, is it because of Ukitake Seiji's appearance?

Hitsugaya Toshiro also curiously sized up the man in front of him. This was the guy who had gotten the three captains to come out and force the big shots of the 46th Chamber to change the orders they had already given.

"Why are you here?" Matsumoto Rangiku suddenly said.

"I'm a little worried about you." Hearing this, Matsumoto Rangiku's eyes softened a bit more. Then, Seiji continued, "A certain idiot asked me to look after you. I feel he was being a bit redundant. Even without his request, I wouldn't just stand by and do nothing about you."

Matsumoto Rangiku's eyes lit up, and she stepped forward excitedly, "Is it the captain? Where is he? I knew he wouldn't be here yet..."

“I don’t know.” Aoji shook his head, interrupting him. Seeing Matsumoto Rangiku’s disappointed expression, he said softly, “After the battle with that Vasto Lorde, Captain Isshin disappeared without a trace, and I can’t find his whereabouts either.”

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.

Aoji observed their expressions and chose to conceal the message that Shiba was determined to live.

It's impossible to be direct.

If Shiba were to say now that he wants to survive, it would be tantamount to breaking ties with Aizen.

Captain-Commander Yamamoto will definitely recall Isshin Shiba and ask him what happened, and Isshin Shiba will definitely choose to tell the truth.

But in the end, the one who suffers is always themselves.

Who knows what these people who are deluded by illusions are actually communicating about?

Aoshi probably imagined it.

"Commander-in-Chief, there are probably traitors within the Gotei 13. I suspect it might be one, or even several, captains!"

"Hmm? You mean Ukitake Seiji is a traitor? Captain Shiba Isshin of the 10th Division, what evidence do you have?"

"That kind of thing... of course not."

"Is that so? The evidence is so overwhelming. It seems I was too lenient with him in the past, which led him astray."

"Wait a minute, Professor Yuan Liuzhai, isn't this a bit too impulsive!"

“Yes, old man, we should at least call Ukitake Seiji over to communicate with him, just in case there’s any misunderstanding.”

"Are you also supporting my decision, Shisi Lang and Chunshui? I never expected you to be so decisive in choosing to sacrifice your own family for the greater good."

Then, under the leadership of Captain-Commander Yamamoto, this group of people, who had no idea what they had been exchanging, went about their various purposes.

Or perhaps they want to help.

Or perhaps they wanted to offer advice.

Or simply remain neutral.

But in the end, it always turns into a battle of justice... a mob of evil, and the one being beaten is oneself.

This event was recorded in the Battle of Karakura Town.

This refers to Momo Hinamori, who was repeatedly slashed by numerous captains.

This forced Aoshi to make a careful choice.

Especially the captain.

This character is a prime example of someone who can wipe out nine enemies with a single strike, maximizing damage to the maximum.

Only a fool would face the old man's fiery sword head-on.

Aizen chose to lie low and used the Fire Prince to limit the power of this millennium captain.

They could defeat Habach, but they were afraid of provoking the old man and him unleashing his full power with the "Heaven and Earth Together" technique, so they sealed the Captain-Commander's Bankai.

The thought of the old man's star-studded face sent chills down Qing Si's spine.

Therefore, you must never tell the truth.

Get as far away from these kinds of troublesome things as possible.

Rangiku Matsumoto's hopes were dashed, her eyes dimmed further, and she remained silent.

Hitsugaya Toshiro had been waiting for Matsumoto Rangiku to ask, but seeing her like this, he could only ask himself, "What exactly happened that day? Why did Captain Isshin disappear?"

Upon hearing this, Tanaka Nanatsu immediately looked over curiously.

Unfortunately, apart from some unverifiable rumors, only the captains of the Gotei 13 knew what happened that day.
