Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

"Is it because a fragment of the Spirit King is missing?"

"The fragments of the Spirit King are enough for now, but the soul is not enough."

Dao Yugen Aura shook his head, a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"This is indeed a bit troublesome..."

Aozaki Mayuki fell into deep thought, unable to think of a better solution for the time being.

After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had come up with a good idea.

"I've got a solution. Trust me, you don't need to worry about this."

"Give me a few days, and I will definitely bring you what you want."

Daoyu Gen Aura glanced at him with some surprise, but didn't say anything more.

This man always keeps his word.

If he said he had a solution, then he definitely had one.

Therefore, all she needs to do is wait patiently.

Upon hearing Aozaki Mayuki say that he had a solution, Michiha Ne Aura confidently replied:

"As long as I have enough materials, I should be able to get the results you want in six months at most!"

"Oh...you're quite confident."

Since Michiha Gen Aura was so confident, Aozaki Mayuki didn't want to discourage her.

Seeing that Aura had returned to the experiment, Aozaki Mayuki turned and walked to the side.

He said to Catherine:

"Mayuri Kurotsuchi said that she wanted a different blood sample this time."

After saying that, Aozaki Mayuki threw the syringe in front of Jadis and looked at her with an expression that said, "You know what I mean."

Jadis, who had been sitting on the sidelines bored and completely clueless about what they were doing, suddenly had a bright idea.

She had been here for so long, having her blood drawn every day, that she felt utterly numb and disgusted.

However, this time...

It was finally her turn to draw blood from others!

The target, of course, is Bambieta, who bullies him every day because of her special status.

"But...my body belongs to Lady Shingetsu!"

Bambieta said with a pitiful expression.

"Shut up, all you have to do is behave, Bambieta!"

"Aozaki Mayuki said coldly."

Hearing Aozaki Mayuki's words, Bambietta unconsciously shrank back, appearing quite fearful.

"Yes, Master."

Jadis narrowed her eyes and looked at Bambietta with disdain.

He was easily trained into a pet by a man; what a useless fellow.

"Jadis, what are you waiting for?"

Aozaki Mayuki turned her head and placed a large hand on Jadis's head, gently rubbing it.

Jadis looked indignant, but in the end she picked up the syringe from the bottom of her heart and began to carry out Aozaki Mayuki's orders.

Chapter 328 Running Away with His Wife

It moved rapidly in the form of light.

Aozaki Mayuki arrived at the Technology Development Bureau very quickly.

He entered the deputy director's private laboratory located underground.

This place is similar to the underground research facility of the Aozaki family, also protected by layers of barriers.

As soon as she entered, Aozaki Mayuki saw the dazzling Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

This guy was wearing a huge, glowing suit.

The light was so dazzling that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes!

After a moment's thought, Aozaki Mayuki understood the reason.

This should be a measure taken by Mayuri Kurotsuchi to guard against the Shadow Realm of the Wandenreich.

He couldn't help but squint his eyes and strode into the laboratory.

"Oh my, it's Captain Shinzuki!"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi raised his head, glanced at Mayuki Aozaki, and let out that chilling laugh.

Then he lowered his head again and continued rummaging through the lab table, muttering to himself:

"You've come at just the right time."

"I have successfully developed the technology you need to prevent Star Seal from seizing Bankai."

As he spoke, Mayuri Kurotsuchi picked up a handful of pill-like objects from the lab table and casually tossed them onto the table.

"As long as you carry this thing with you and let any part of your body come into contact with it, you can allow the Grim Reaper to absorb a little bit of Hollow power."

"Because a Shinigami's Zanpakuto resonates with their soul, when a Shinigami absorbs the power of a Hollow, their Bankai will also become slightly Hollowish."

"In this way, when a Quincy uses Star Seal Transformation on a Shinigami, it's like taking a poisoned Bankai, and the Bankai ability they steal might become ineffective."

Aozaki Mayuki nodded, said nothing more, and put the pill away.

He no longer has a Zanpakuto, but he can unleash all Zanpakuto abilities at will.

Actually, I'm not too worried anymore that the Quincy will take away my Bankai.

Like I said before, I'm not looking for a partner!

And putting aside the Zanpakuto.

He previously used the power of the Hogyoku to achieve self-evolution.

As evolution entered a new stage, the fusion between the Hogyoku and him deepened, and the two almost became one.

The form of the Hōgyoku still exists, but its essence has quietly changed, becoming like a part of his body.

It can be said that the Hogyoku has become something similar to a body organ.

The materials used to make the Hogyoku include the souls of Hollows.

This gives the Hogyoku itself the power of the void.

Aozaki Mayuki did not transform into a monster.

But this illusory power also undoubtedly became part of his power.

Having acquired the power of Hollows, there's no need to worry about having one's Bankai stolen by Star Seal.

He doesn't need it, but he can give it to someone else.

For example, old man Yamamoto, a stubborn old man who would never be embellished.

If you talk to him about blurring, you'll probably get a barrage of beautiful words in return.

Wouldn't it be perfect to give him a pill?

Does this thing have a name?

“No.” Mayuri Kurotsuchi shook her head.

"Then let's call it Shadow Invasion Medicine."

"That's up to you," Mayuri Kurotsuchi said, pursing her lips. "Did you bring what I asked for?"

Aozaki Mayuki reached out and pulled out several glass tubes, each about the thickness of a little finger, from her person.

It was filled with a red liquid that had a faint fishy smell.

He flicked the tube lightly with his finger, making the liquid inside slosh around, and then said:

"This is Jadis's, and this is Bambietta's."

After saying that, he stretched out both hands and handed over the two test tubes.

Upon seeing this, Mayuri Kurotsuchi immediately changed his demeanor, his eyes gleaming with greed and excitement.

He carefully took the two test tubes from Aozaki Mayuki's hands, as if they were the most precious treasures in the world.

This is pure Quincy blood that still retains its vitality!

Compared to the corpses on the experimental table, this fresh blood is far more precious.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi has yet to develop a technology that can perfectly preserve the bodies of the dead.

In order to study Saint Betrayal, he killed Cangdu before the live experiments were completed.

As a captain-level Quincy, Sou's spirit does not naturally dissipate, but it has long since lost its vitality.

For Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the research value of such a corpse is greatly reduced, which is truly regrettable.

Beside Cangdu's corpse.

There is also a transparent glass jar.

Inside the jar, a bluish-white luminous object was violently striking the jar wall.

That is the essence of life—the soul.

Because of Mayuri Kurotsuchi's deliberate interception, Sou's soul was unable to return to Yhwach.

Cangdu, as a human, actually died hundreds of years ago.

He became a spirit and has lived to this day thanks to Yhwach's power.

Therefore, after his second death, his soul did not form a new spiritual body, but appeared in its essential form.
