Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

Doing such a thing without permission is against the rules of the Gotei 13.

Yamamoto didn't say much, just nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, signaling him to continue.

That look seemed to say, "Now is not the time to worry about such trivial matters."

Kisuke Urahara breathed a sigh of relief and then said:

"After a thorough examination, we discovered that they had no soul, or rather, their souls had disappeared."

What does it mean to have no soul?

Yamamoto frowned and asked in confusion.

The soul is the foundation of the spiritual body and the core of life, and it also depends on the spiritual body.

Generally speaking, when a captain-level powerhouse dies, their spirit cannot dissipate naturally, and their soul will remain attached to their body.

Even if the body is broken and fragmented, the soul will still cling to the broken spiritual particles.

These spiritual particles will not be integrated into the cycle of the Three Realms.

Instead, they wait until the soul burial ritual to send the soul and body or spirit particles together to hell.

However, the bodies of those sinners still lie intact in the barracks of the First Division, but their souls have vanished without a trace.

This is so weird!

This completely contradicts his understanding accumulated over thousands of years!

"Based on my and Captain Unohana's speculation, these spirits may have been taken away before they were born, or their souls may have been destroyed directly."

Kisuke Urahara said with a serious expression:

"And without a soul, the spirit will naturally die."

The elderly man standing opposite clearly had never encountered this situation before.

Coincidentally, Kisuke Urahara not only encountered this, but also did something similar.

It's important to understand that not everyone has the experience of creating the Hogyoku, just like him.

Although the material he used to create the Hogyoku was a hollow soul.

But in reality, the situation is pretty much the same.

When collecting experimental materials, he would first remove the soul of the Hollow before the Hollow would truly die.

However, those with weak spiritual power do not leave behind corpses after death like those sinners.

Thinking of this, Kisuke Urahara couldn't help but recall the mysterious person who had once hacked into the Technology Development Bureau.

The man searched through his laboratory.

Although he ultimately failed, perhaps his goal was his Hogyoku.

Fortunately, the Hogyoku has now been handed over to Aozaki Mayuki.

There is probably no safer place in the world than around him.

After all, Aozaki Mayuki's strength was undeniable, and Urahara Kisuke had complete confidence in him.

Yamamoto frowned and fell into deep thought.

However, his thoughts were completely different from those of Kisuke Urahara.

Killing souls?

Neither Shinigami nor Hollows possess this ability.

Regarding the soul, the former can be purified, while the latter can only be devoured or merged.

In essence, the behavior of both is part of the natural cycle of the Three Realms.

Rather than truly destroying the soul!

Within his knowledge, only one race possessed this ability to destroy souls.

—The Quincy!

Why would he launch a war against the Quincy in the present world when Yhwach was defeated by him over the past few centuries?

It's not just about bringing an end to that great war a thousand years ago.

More importantly, the Quincy's ability to destroy souls will disrupt the balance between the three realms!

The Hollows they kill will no longer be able to participate in the cycle and will disappear completely from the world!

As far as he knew, Quincy were specifically designed to attack Hollows; killing a spirit could only destroy the Hollow's soul, not the Shinigami's soul.

Did those people not all die back then, and they developed a new technology that can destroy the souls of the Grim Reaper?

A heavy sense of worry welled up in Yamamoto's heart.

Quincy in the present world are all human, and human bodies cannot enter the Soul Society.

He couldn't help but think of the Quincy who were transformed into spirits by Yhwach a thousand years ago.

Yamamoto coughed and continued to ask:

"What about Kenpachi Momoshiro? How is he?"

“His vital signs were normal, but he seemed to be in a vegetative state.”

It was Retsu Unohana who took over the conversation.

Kisuke Urahara nodded in agreement, adding:

"We can't find a solution at the moment, so we're afraid we can't offer you any further assistance."

Upon hearing this, Yamamoto let out a heavy sigh:

"Alright, let's leave him for now. We have more important things to do, which may concern the safety of Soul Society."

If those Quincy are really still alive, and have the ability to kill so many prisoners...

This is likely a huge threat to the Gotei 13!

Just then.

The sound of the Riding team came from outside the door:

"Reporting, Commander-in-Chief."

"What is it?" Yamamoto asked.

"Two esteemed officials wish to see you..."

The Riding team stopped abruptly before they could finish speaking.

"Ok?"

Yamamoto frowned, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Just as everyone inside was wondering what was going on, a hearty laugh came from outside the door.

The laughter echoed in the room, drawing everyone's attention.

A short while later, the door was gently pushed open, and a woman slowly walked in.

Upon seeing the familiar figure, everyone in the room was taken aback.

Yamamoto's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Why are you here...?"

I want everything.

Chapter 337 Come with us to the Spirit King's Palace!

On the other side of Seireitei, the culprit who disrupted the Central Prison is Lord Aozaki Mayuki.

He lazily opened his eyes and sat up from the bed with a light, silent motion, like an elegant feline.

Turning around, I saw that Yulu Zheliu and Daoyugen Awula, who had been by my side last night, were nowhere to be seen.

It's 7:00 AM now. We expect to arrive at the Japanese-style room before 8:00 AM, and then we'll have breakfast made by Ms. Hisa herself.

This is something he experiences every day, and everything seems so calm and natural.

As usual, Ms. Hisana would clean his room and replenish the energy he needed for the day's activities through aerobic exercise.

"...Take a shower."

Aozaki Mayuki muttered to herself.

He stood up and walked to the bathroom, enjoying the comfort of the hot water.

Half an hour had passed by the time he had thoroughly washed himself with hot water.

Stepping out of the bathroom and changing into clean clothes, I looked refreshed.

After changing his clothes and drying his hair with the help of Ryujin Jakka, he walked calmly toward the Japanese-style room as always.

The Japanese-style room is filled with a faint fragrance, which makes people feel peaceful and relaxed.

"Lord Shingetsu! The Ritsu team is here."

As soon as he entered through the open door, the gentle girl bent down slightly and whispered the news to him.

Her voice was soft and melodious, making people feel happy.

Aozaki Mayuki was taken aback at first, then clapped her hands and said in a slightly teasing tone:

"Alright, that's it, let's get ready for the feast!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Fei Zhen, a hint of helplessness on his face.

"Himaru, after I die, I entrust the children to you."

"Our children?"

Upon hearing this, Fei Zhen's pretty face flushed slightly, and a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes.

"Yes, I will take good care of them."
