Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

The demon that nearly destroyed Soul Society back then might be returning.

Let alone the Forty-Six Chambers, even if all the nobles were added together, they might not be enough for him to kill alone.

The thought of that apocalyptic scene sent a chill down Asano's spine, sending a shiver down his spine to the top of his head.

No, we can't wait here any longer; we have to go check on the situation.

If the situation really does reverse, it's best to take a position in advance.

In a critical moment, switching allegiance to one of the other five noble families might not be a bad choice.

Thinking of this, Asano suddenly stood up from his seat, and just as he was about to say something, a voice suddenly came from outside the door—

"I'm sorry, everyone, you are not allowed to go anywhere until Master Shan returns."

Upon hearing this sound, the noisy argument stopped abruptly, and everyone looked up.

Then, the doors to the venue slowly opened.

A pink floral patterned haori came into view; her expression was calm, and her gaze was slightly lowered.

It had absolutely no imposing presence, yet the moment it appeared, it silenced the council chamber instantly.

The crowd's eyes darted around, and it was unclear what they were thinking.

Until a wise man stood up from the assembly, feigning composure, and said loudly:

"Kyoraku Shunsui, why are you here?"

Upon hearing this, the others seemed to have found a pillar of support, and they all put aside their fear of Yamamoto's disappearance and resumed their arrogant behavior.

"The council chamber is the main meeting place for the 46th Chamber; unauthorized entry is strictly prohibited!"

"District Captain, are you suggesting we commit insubordination?"

"Imprisoning us is not an invitation to rebellion, is it?"

"I now suspect that you are closely related to the previous incident!"

"Kyoraku... Ugh!!"

Amidst the reprimands, Kyoraku Shunsui raised his eyes and calmly looked at the crowd.

In an instant.

A bone-chilling cold swept through the entire council hall, and the icy gazes were like sharp knives, piercing deep into everyone's hearts.

The noise stopped abruptly, and a hint of fear flashed in everyone's eyes.

Only then did some of the nobles who had echoed him realize that the person standing before them was not the Yamamoto Shigekuni they usually bossed around.

Instead, it was the 8th Division Captain, whose background was unknown and who rarely appeared before the 46 Chambers—

Kyoraku Shunsui!

Without Yamamoto's suppression, this unassuming captain of the Death God seemed to reveal his fierce fangs to them for the first time.

Although he didn't release any spiritual pressure or unleash any killing intent, his gaze, as if looking at a dead person, was enough to chill anyone to the bone.

No one can guarantee that Kyoraku Shunsui won't suddenly make a move.

"Just now, a horrific attack occurred at the 13th Division barracks."

"The victims were Jushiro Ukitake, the captain of the Thirteenth Division, and Misaki Nara, the prisoner of the Ritsu-tei Mao Prison. The attacker was the head of one of the five noble families, Tsunayoshi Taketori."

"I suspect that Shanye's disappearance is related to this matter."

Asano, sitting in seat number one, immediately lost his heartbeat, a chill slowly seeping into his heart.

"To prevent more serious incidents from occurring, I personally took over the underground council chamber."

The sound of Kyoraku Shunsui echoed in the open space.

"If you have any objections, we can discuss them with Master Shan when he returns."

His voice was filled with suppressed anger.

If it weren't for the fact that the situation wasn't yet at its most dire, Kyoraku Shunsui would have even wanted to drag all these idiots into the Broken Fish Abyss and enjoy themselves there.

He was handling some business inside the team dormitory.

The chain of events triggered by the betrayal of his Zanpakuto left him, as the captain, with no time to slack off, let alone sneak a sip of sake.

However, just as the work at hand was about to be completed...

A terrifying spiritual pressure, so powerful it was suffocating, suddenly erupted from the direction of the 13th Division's barracks.

Without the slightest hesitation, Kyoraku Shunsui immediately headed towards the spiritual pressure.

When they arrived at the scene, they were shocked to find only a mess.

Jushiro Ukitake leaned against the wall of the ruins, coughing up blood. Beside him lay Sentaro Tsubaki, whose fate was unknown.

The situation is very serious.

Upon discovering Kyoraku Shunsui's presence, Ukitake Jushiro immediately disregarded his ailing condition and loudly recounted the events that had occurred in the barracks.

When Kyoraku Shunsui learned that Tsuna had done all this on behalf of Taketori just to seize the Soul King's right hand from Ukitake Jushiro's body, he was unusually furious.

He was one of the few people who knew of Mimihachi's existence.

He was also well aware that Mimi Haki was indispensable to his close friend's survival to this day.

Seizing the Soul King's right hand is no different from killing Ukitake Jushiro!

Tsuna's act of taking the bamboo shoot in place of Kyoraku Shunsui undoubtedly touched Kyoraku Shunsui's most vulnerable nerve.

A few years ago, his elder brother died young, and later his sister-in-law, Ise Yoshiyoshi, was executed for losing the family's inherited sacrificial sword.

After that, the only people he truly cherished were Yamamoto Shigekuni and Ukitake Jushiro, whom he had met during his time as an insei (a type of Buddhist temple student).

However, now, in the blink of an eye...

Yamamoto has gone missing, and Jushiro Ukitake is seriously injured.

The fact that he didn't wipe out the entire Tsunayashiro family immediately was already quite considerate of the overall situation.

Kyoraku Shunsui narrowed his eyes slightly, looking towards the direction of Rukongai.

Speaking of which, that junior brother seems to have played a remarkable role in this incident.

I hope he's alright...

……

……

Rukongai (the town of souls).

Beside the pitch-black "sludge," Naraku looked at Aizen, who was squatting on the ground collecting experimental materials, with a look of disgust.

Seemingly sensing someone's thoughts, Aizen patiently explained:

"Based on the information you provided, the reason why Tsunayoshi Taketori became like this is largely due to the Spirit King fragments he collected."

"But from observation, there is another force at play."

"Based on the intelligence we obtained earlier, there is a 90% probability that it is phosphorus from [Hell]."

"Therefore, the combination of two forces plus the strange existence of Tsunayoshiro Taketori himself makes it of extremely high research value."

“Even surpassing Arturo and you.”

Nai Luo Kong: "?"

He sensed intense malice from Aizen's words.

I'll remember this grudge.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing you need to pay attention to."

Aizen suddenly raised his head, his gaze reflecting a strange light off his glasses, making it impossible to discern the change in his expression.

"what?"

“Normally, a spiritual pressure of this scale erupting from Seireitei would definitely attract the attention of Captain-Commander Yamamoto, but on the way here, I carefully sensed it—”

"Captain-Commander Yamamoto's spiritual pressure seems to have disappeared in Seireitei."

Naraku Sora grinned, as if he had thought of something pleasant.

Aizen glanced at him, seeing through his ugly face:

"I am more inclined to believe that Tsuna and Taketori used some means to seal the person away or teleport them to some other place."

"If he could really kill Captain-Commander Yamamoto, he wouldn't need to go through all this trouble."

Upon hearing this, Naraku's eyes lit up:

"So, nobody cares about me anymore?"

Aizen nodded: "Things that you wanted to do but couldn't before because of Captain-Commander Yamamoto can now be done freely."

"The captains of the Gotei 13, with the exception of a few, should not have any objections."

Naraku Sora grinned:

"Then I understand, Tsunayoshiro's doomsday is coming!"

Chapter 112 There are also differences between Tsuna and Yayoi.

After giving a few brief instructions on what to pay attention to, Aizen quickly collected all the remaining materials.

Then, try to erase as many traces as possible you can of yourself.

The other captains will be here soon. Although they have left no trace, it may cause some trouble for Naraku.

But aren't good brothers meant to be shields from bullets?

"I go first."

Aizen sealed the materials with Binding Spell, picked them up with one hand, and immediately used Binding Spell to erase any trace of his spiritual pressure before using Shunpo to disappear from the spot.

Before long, another familiar spiritual pressure descended from the sky, causing the soil on the ground to sink instantly, and the surrounding atmosphere to become viscous and heavy under the influence of the immense spiritual pressure.

It was as if the Earth's gravity had suddenly become stronger.
