Death God: A High-Dimensional Overlord, Starting by Devouring the Soul King

Chapter 141 Two months later

"The siege of Seireitei has lasted for two months."

Saito and Kirinji walked along the streets of the Seireitei and said softly, "If this lockdown continues, our control over the human world and the Rukongai will be greatly weakened."

Yes, it has been two months since Shiba Tsukiharu's identity was exposed and he was forced to self-destruct.

During those two months, they completely sealed off the Soul Society and conducted a thorough search.

Unfortunately, even though they searched every inch of the place, meticulously examining every room and every corner, they still found nothing.

They were very frustrated by this.

However, they couldn't keep searching like this indefinitely. After all, sealing off the Soul Society would require a huge amount of manpower and resources, and they couldn't keep using thousands of Gotei 13 soldiers on this matter.

They've maintained this for two months, and they're almost at their limit.

In fact, Kirinji Temple believes that there is no need to investigate further at this point.

They had all witnessed firsthand how terrifying Shiba Tsukiyuu was, and if someone was manipulating him from behind, how terrifying would that person be?

As for the man in the black cloak, he was equally mysterious. They were unable to capture him immediately, and he would only become increasingly difficult to find in the future.

Kirinji thought that instead of wasting his energy on this matter, he should look for Shiba Tsukiji's experimental records.

Unfortunately, by the time they arrived at Shiba Tsukito's house and discovered his secret base, all traces of his research had been destroyed.

The mansion where so many Hollows were located had already been destroyed in the previous battle.

Therefore, they couldn't find any useful clues.

"That's right. In the past two months, some evil spirits similar to the Void have appeared in the real world."

Kirinji Tenjiro said softly, "Although I haven't seen them with my own eyes yet, judging from the reports, they are very similar to vampires."

"It's not just similar, it's vampires." Saito had fought against Ōtakemaru and even met Yoriichi's older brother, the powerful vampire swordsman, so she knew very well that there were indeed a large number of vampires in Japan.

In the past two months, the Gotei 13 have concentrated their forces on the Seireitei, resulting in an increasing number of demons in the mortal realm.

"It's a bit surprising that Captain Tsugikuni didn't go to the mortal world to eliminate those demons."

"It seems that he discovered something during the previous battle with Shiba Tsukito, and then disappeared after the battle ended. As you know, Yoriichi Tsugikuni is the captain of the Gotei 13, but he can't be completely one of us."

Yoriichi Tsugikuni's relationship with them is more of a collaborative one.

"I'm going to the real world too." Saito continued walking on the hard stone slabs and said, "According to the investigation of the battle, the Twelfth Division found that after Shiba Tsukito's soul self-destructed, there were some special beings among the released souls."

"They seem to be connected to a plague that broke out in the world more than a decade ago. Although the report said it was just an ordinary plague, Captain Shudoro felt it was not that simple, so he asked me to investigate."

Saito said, "The Captain-Commander has already agreed to this, so is there anything you need me to bring?"

This was her real purpose in seeking out the Qilin Temple, because the Qilin Temple often needed some herbs or rare materials from the mortal world for their research on potions, so she could bring some back for them during her trip to the mortal world.

After all, the magic potions researched by Kirin Temple are key to her continued advancement.

"I do have some, could you bring some back for me?"

Kirinji revealed some information that Saito had never heard of before, and Saito nodded and wrote it down, preparing to keep it in mind after going to the human world.

Despite the significant events that occurred in Soul Society during this period, they did not affect other areas.

-

The former Soul Society could perhaps be considered the world, or at least the center of Soul Society.

However, the current Soul Society doesn't have that much influence anymore.

While the major events that caused such a stir in the Soul Society occurred, the corresponding region in the human world, the island nation of Japan, remained peaceful.

Even Rukia, who had come to this country, didn't notice anything amiss.

She originally wanted to visit the Soul Society, but now that she's in that identity, she's afraid she'll be treated as an enemy if she goes in.

Therefore, she felt it was more important to find the blasphemous stone tablet first.

However, after searching in the modern world for a while, she discovered that the Japan of this era was completely different from the Japan she knew.

Although she had noticed the changes in history in Europe before, she believed that she was a variable in history because of her own existence, so it was normal for some changes to occur.

After all, she is a modern person and knows the butterfly theory; even a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a tornado.

Her existence was far greater than that of a butterfly, so it's not surprising that she altered European history.

But shouldn't this butterfly bring the wind to Japan?

but----

There's no need to dwell on these things too much, since she's already accepted the novel settings of this world, such as potions.

"Besides the potions, what are these ghosts?"

In the darkness, Rukia walked along a secluded country road and saw a man like a wild beast hiding in the shadows, seemingly about to attack her.

This wasn't the first time Rukia had seen such a monster. She had always thought that vampire-like creatures should appear in Europe, and in fact, she had indeed seen some vampires in Europe. But the vampires in Japan were different from those she had seen before.

The vampires she met in Europe were elegant, handsome, and wealthy; each one could be described as a learned gentleman.

But these Japanese vampires are all violent, ruthless, and savage.

Most importantly, Japanese ghosts cannot live in the sunlight!

Normal vampires also hate sunlight, but they won't be in any serious trouble even if they walk in the sun.

These evil spirits from Japan will instantly turn to ashes if they are exposed to direct sunlight!

They are absolutely evil creatures!

However, these evil creatures mostly appeared in the countryside, so they didn't cause any particularly big commotion.

In the last two months, their numbers have increased, and they've become bolder, even setting their sights on me.

While the ghosts in the past would attack people, they generally wouldn't attack her, since she was a dragon, and her life level was much stronger than those lower-level vampires.

Rukia raised her hand, ready to finish him off with a Holy Arrow.

But before she could condense the Spirit Arrow, she saw a thin beam of energy shooting over from a distance!

puff!

The next moment, the energy beam pierced through the head of the ghost hidden in the darkness!
