Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

Ishida Sogen was left behind and had no way to express his suffering.

He didn't understand why he could come through official channels, but leaving Soul Society was considered illegal.

Doesn't Lord Naraku know that if other Shinigami discover this, they will be severely punished?

As the Grim Reaper, he knowingly broke the law.

Looking at the two figures in front of him, and recalling what he had heard earlier, Ishida Sogen felt a strong sense of unease.

Have I gotten myself hooked?

"Sousuke, you didn't need to come along. I can easily take care of Tsunayoshiro Tokinada."

Naraku Sora casually used his spirit particle clustering ability to widen and extend the spirit particle path beneath his feet, transforming it into a broad avenue that stretched straight ahead.

In this environment, the Quincy's abilities are quite effective.

If it were the Grim Reaper, to create such a spiritual path, one would have to be at least the captain.

"Captain-Commander Yamamoto should have taught you that even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, and besides, Tsunayoshi Tokinada is no weakling."

"Moreover, I suspect this might be a trap."

"trap?"

Naraku was puzzled.

Ishida Sogen, who was jogging behind, perked up his ears.

"Before the downfall of the Tsunayo family, they keenly sensed the impending crisis and chose to leave in advance."

"Wouldn't someone like that consider the possibility that Mr. Ishida might betray him and inform on us?"

Aizen calmly analyzed the situation.

"Or do you think such a person would place their hopes on the conscience of a complete stranger?"

"In fact, in my opinion, Mr. Tsunayoshi Tokinada has probably considered both scenarios."

"Firstly, Mr. Ishida chose to cooperate with him. The Quincy of the present world ostensibly abide by the previous contract, but in reality, they become an ally of Tsunayoshi Tokinada."

"Secondly, Mr. Ishida chose to inform on them, which led to the arrival of the Shinigami of the Gotei 13 at the previously agreed location, who then surrounded and attacked them."

"But no matter what the outcome, Tsunayoshi Tokina will face it calmly."

"Perhaps the empty seats are already a trap waiting for us."

Ishida Sogen, who was standing to the side, broke out in a cold sweat, his temples almost getting wet.

Suddenly, I realized that there was a reason why the Quincy couldn't defeat the Shinigami.

He was already considered one of the best Quincy, yet he was still completely outmaneuvered by others.

All that's left are those idiots whose brains are completely devoid of any wrinkles; they'd probably be sold out and still be counting the money for their captors.

In the present world, the empty seats area.

As the portal opened in the sky, Tsunayoshi Tokina on the rooftop narrowed his eyes slightly, a pleased smile appearing on his lips.

"It seems that Mr. Ishida has broken our agreement."

"To arrive in this world in such a manner, one must be quite confident."

However, before he could finish speaking, a dazzling crimson light burst forth from the portal, and even faster than the figure appeared was a blade as brilliant as moonlight.

A chilling wave swept across the sky and hurtled straight toward the rooftop.

Tsuna's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively dodged with a quick step.

boom!

Like a falling meteor, the building collapsed instantly, and countless dust particles swept up and spread in all directions.

The ground trembled, and a Zanpakuto wrapped in intense light fell into the earth, radiating endless light and heat.

The exaggerated scene made Tsunayoshi Tokina's eyes twitch.

Only then did the imposing figure emerge from the portal.

Naraku Sora stood atop the sky, looking down at the figure amidst the dust:

"Tsunayoshi Tokinada, do you like this gift?"

Chapter 178 Yamamoto will be ashamed of you.

Chapter 179 Is Death such an inconvenient thing?

Looking at the boy who stood there dumbfounded, a hint of mockery flashed in Tsunayoshi Tokina's eyes, revealing a look of amusement as if watching a show.

As an ancient noble family with a history spanning millions of years, the Tsunamiyo family is in charge of the Great Spiritual Library, which records everything.

Although as the last member of the branch family, Tsunayoshiro Tokinada could not freely visit the Great Spiritual Library like the main family, he still visited it several times during his long life.

Therefore, compared to ordinary Grim Reapers, they have more experience.

In those records spanning countless years, not all Shinigami in the earliest times possessed Zanpakuto.

Aside from family heirlooms like Tsunayo, only a few Shinigami obtain Zanpakuto through special methods.

This phenomenon was broken when a man named Nimaiya Oetsu appeared, making the Zanpakuto one of the symbols of the Shinigami (death god).

The overall strength of Soul Society began to experience explosive growth.

However, a very serious problem has also emerged: the power of the Shinigami has become bound to the Zanpakuto.

There is almost no Shinigami who doesn't rely on a Zanpakuto at all.

Some people reported this situation to Room 46, but in the end, nothing came of it.

No Shinigami would be willing to give up their Zanpakuto for this reason.

With the help of the knowledge accumulated by the Tsunayo family over many years, as well as years of experimentation and research, Tsunayo Tokinada finally created a new Kido that was enough to change the landscape of Soul Society.

No matter how powerful a Shinigami is, once covered by a barrier, they will lose their connection with their Zanpakuto, and their powerful strength will be reduced to less than one-tenth.

Tsunayoshi Tokinada originally planned to take down multiple Shinigami captains at once, but unexpectedly only one came, and it wasn't even from the Gotei 13.

Although somewhat disappointed, considering Naraku Sora's identity, he accepted it calmly.

After all, opportunities to retaliate against Yamamoto Shigekuni are few and far between.

"Isn't this enough of a trump card?"

Tsunayoshi Tokina's smile was somewhat maniacal, and the emerald green echoing light fell on his cracked skin, causing it to heal rapidly.

"This absolute authority is something that even Yamamoto Shigekuni could not resist."

"The Zanpakuto known as the strongest of the fire type, Ryujin Jakka, cannot exert even the slightest power here, and all of this was created by me."

Naraku Sora raised his eyes and grinned:

"Without a Zanpakuto, does that mean you can't fight? Where did you get this heretical nonsense from?"

"Is death such an inconvenient thing?"

Under the puzzled gaze of Tsunayoshi Tokina, he sheathed his sword, then took the scabbard from his waist and tossed it behind him.

The terrifying force instantly caused the scabbard to sink into the ground.

The whole process was easy and familiar, as if I had practiced it countless times.

On the other rooftop, Aizen's expression relaxed.

I was worried that because he was too straightforward, he might fall into the enemy's trap.

However, when Tsunayoshi Tokinada directly chooses to reveal his hand, there's nothing to worry about.

For a Shinigami (death god), losing their Zanpakuto (soul-slaying sword) is indeed a very troublesome thing.

Their original formidable strength may have vanished, rendering them completely incapable of fighting.

But Aizen clearly remembered that guy had said that to him.

The power of the Grim Reaper is limited; one must become a being that surpasses the Grim Reaper in order to stand at the top of the world.

Aizen still vividly remembers that scene: he asked Naraku to demonstrate his Hollowfication power, and then that guy uttered a long string of incomprehensible words.

Then, he pressed down with his five fingers, condensing an illusory mask, which he then placed directly on his face.

My last words were, "I'm not going to be the Grim Reaper anymore."

The scene was so horrifying that Aizen momentarily forgot to proceed with the next step of data collection.

"Mr. Aizen, perhaps I should go and help Lord Naraku?"

Ishida Sogen looked at the two figures facing off in the distance with a worried expression and said hesitantly.

Since we've already chosen to board this pirate ship, we have no choice but to go all the way down this dark path.

If Naraku Sora had died at the hands of Tokina, the Quincy of the present world would likely have been held accountable for his actions.

"Need not."

Aizen smiled slightly. "Just watch the show and have faith in Ku."

Upon hearing this, Ishida Sogen was stunned for a moment, then looked at the figure standing in the ruins with a puzzled expression.

boom!

The boundless spiritual pressure of the demonic path solidified into a tangible form, transforming into a visible white stream of energy that exploded from the shoulder blade, crushing half of the Deathly Haki.

His muscular physique was exposed, and the perfect muscle lines highlighted his powerful strength. Just standing there, he gave people a terrifying feeling of strength.

Seeing Naraku Sora's momentum only increasing, Tsunayoshi Tokinada couldn't help but feel like he wanted to fuck the Soul King.

Is this really the Grim Reaper?

Seeing this scene, even the best self-control would be unable to maintain composure.

Naraku grinned, turning all the blood into lava, which flowed hot and scorching. His muscles, which had been contracting instantly, expanded wildly, bringing indescribable power and speed.

It's impossible to see any trace of his Instant Step activation.
