Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

Is this something a lowly official like him could possibly see?

Kisuke Urahara was terrified, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity.

He could have easily refused Naraku's "gift" with just a word, but he couldn't utter a single sentence.

"There shouldn't be anything missing; that's about it."

Naraku clapped his hands, indicating:

"The task of getting the basic tools sorted out is entrusted to you. As for the important materials for forging..."

"What our Zhenyang Prison has no shortage of is the souls of the dead. Don't waste those stubborn elements. Make the most of them and give full play to their last value so that they can master the forging techniques as soon as possible."

"At that time, we will build a little spirit king..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kisuke Urahara, drenched in cold sweat, covered his mouth:

"You can't say such things. If the 46th Division or the Captain finds out about this, you'll be stabbed eight times in the back and forced to commit suicide."

He had long known that his superior was a treacherous man who coveted the position of captain.

Unexpectedly, I underestimated this guy.

It's not just that he has a rebellious streak; it's that he has a rebellious streak but it all comes to naught.

Naraku Sora slapped Urahara Kisuke's hand away, looking disgusted, and said:

"Kisuke, when did you become such a coward?"

"It's just a forging method, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"

Hearing this, Urahara Kisuke smiled bitterly:

"Lord Naraku makes it sound so easy. Don't you know that the essence of a Shinigami is their Zanpakuto?"

"Even the Zanpakuto of some departed Shinigami are forcibly confiscated, kept for a period of time, and then returned to the Zero Division member who forged the Zanpakuto, and returned to Asauchi."

"Some souls with spiritual talent can obtain Zanpakuto, which is the power of a Shinigami, after obtaining an Asauchi and training diligently for a period of time."

"No matter where you got the forging method from, these things are absolutely a hot potato. Not to mention others, even Captain-Commander Yamamoto probably wouldn't tolerate them."

Naraku thought for a few seconds, then said dismissively:

"But this is what Wang Yue taught me."

"Didn't I tell you when I went to the Spirit King's Palace a while ago?"

Urahara Kisuke: "?"

He suddenly had an urge to swear.

No wonder Shutara Senjumaru disappeared; no wonder the power residing within Ukitake Jushiro vanished, yet Naraku remained unmoved; no wonder the Captain-Commander was furious again a few days ago…

Everything fits together.

After figuring out the key point, a strong sense of envy welled up in his heart again.

Is this kid some kind of incarnation of Tamamo-no-Mae from some ghost legend? Why is everyone so fond of him and giving him special treatment?

"After all this talk, do you still want this gift or not?"

Naraku slammed his hand on the table in dissatisfaction. "If you don't want it, take it here and I'll give it to Mayuri."

As he spoke, he reached out to snatch it.

But Kisuke Urahara was quick-witted and stuffed the organized documents directly into his lapel.

"Thank you for the gift, Lord Naraku. I will certainly live up to your expectations and master the sword-forging method as soon as possible."

Naraku Sora nodded in satisfaction:

"By the way, you just said that Shinigami who leave the team will have their Zanpakuto forcibly confiscated?"

Kisuke Urahara nodded subconsciously, but his expression changed drastically the next second.

Before anyone could stop him, Naraku grinned and said, "If I remember correctly, there should still be a group of soldiers in our Shinigami Prison who don't have Zanpakuto, right?"

"The responsibility of helping your colleagues become death again is entrusted to you."

"You won't let me down, will you, Kisuke?"

Now that things have come to this, it's too late to refuse.

The method of forging Zanpakuto is essentially an experimental research related to the soul, involving a project he is currently working on.

It relates to whether one's thoughts will be clear in the future.

Giving up is absolutely out of the question, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

Whether the shallow forging has any flaws is unknown.

"It's quite difficult, and I can't guarantee that I can complete it, after all, this is the authority of the 'God of Blades'."

I'll do my best.

Kisuke Urahara muttered under his breath, completely losing his previous imposing manner.

Although my boss is often inhuman, this is truly a rare gift.

"Alright, then I won't bother you anymore."

Naraku Sora patted his behind and prepared to leave; it wasn't appropriate for a lone man to be out alone so late at night.

"You should get some rest."

Upon hearing this, Kisuke Urahara couldn't help but retort, "I'm not sleepy at all. I'm going to the Technology Development Bureau to call Mayuri."

Naraku thought for a moment, then followed.

There might be some discrepancies in the language description; I might need to ask him to correct some details when we summarize later.

After Urahara Kisuke finishes organizing, I'll ask for another copy and send it to Aizen.

However, when the two arrived at the lab, they found that the other two members were already there.

Upon seeing one of them, Naraku grinned:

"I was just about to come looking for you, Sousuke."

"I've been busy these past few days and forgot to tell you some things."

Looking at that guy's innocent smile, Aizen suddenly had a bad feeling.

Chapter 200 Thank you for the hospitality

"Speak, what is it?"

After organizing the data, Aizen followed Naraku Sora to the empty rest room next door and casually released a soundproof Kido barrier.

Although the specific content is unclear, it is guessed that it may be related to what happened at the Spirit King's Palace.

Or rather, it is related to Hyoninbe Ichibei.

With that in mind, it's better if as few people as possible know.

"It's nothing serious."

Naraku Soryu scratched his head. "You saw the fight between me and Hyosube Ichibei. The reason for the conflict was that the skinny monk asked me if I wanted to be the Soul King."

"Or rather, this was not the monk's original intention, but the will conveyed by the Spirit King."

"In his words, that old fox, the Spirit King, has taken a fancy to this strong and muscular body and is preparing to let me inherit his position."

"Secondly, I meet the requirements to become the Spirit King."

"The ability to perfectly fuse the powers of Shinigami, Hollows, and Quincy without any conflict is a unique existence in the world."

"There is only one like him in heaven and on earth..."

Aizen: "?"

He strongly suspected that Naraku Sora's brain had been damaged by Hyosube Ichibei, causing him to start talking nonsense.

But after confirming it several times, I finally believed that this guy wasn't joking.

It is true that he inherited the throne of the Spirit King, that he met the conditions to become the Spirit King, and that he possessed power beyond the rules.

This inevitably gave Aizen the urge to have his blood pressure spike.

Such a serious matter, yet this guy didn't explain it to him immediately after returning, but instead leisurely strolled around for a few days before remembering it.

Does he really not understand the importance of the "Spirit King"?

Ignoring the long string of nonsense, Aizen forced himself to calm down and gleaned some useful information from the words just spoken.

He then sorted and arranged them, and immediately fell into thought.

To be honest, this guy is really brave.

Possessing power outside the rules and daring to openly defy the Spirit King's will, it was not unjust for Hyosube Ichibei to take action against him.

but.

Judging from the subsequent changes, Naraku Sora seems to have been more of an add-on.

Or rather, it's a reason to take action.

His purpose in being there was to lure Jushiro Ukitake over.

Hyōshūbe Ichibei's only goal from beginning to end was to obtain the native god Mimihagi, which was hidden in his internal organs.

Also known as, The Right Hand of the Spirit King.

He had seen information about the division of the Spirit King by the five noble ancestors not long after the destruction of the Gangmiya family, in the Great Spirit Book Corridor and the Gangmiya family's collection.

Now, with the five noble families weakened, the Tsunayo family destroyed, and Hyōshūbe Ichibei re-collecting the Spirit King fragments, does this symbolize some kind of signal?

Repair the Spirit King's body.

Or perhaps it will create a new Spirit King?

Why would something like this happen?

How could an order that has been maintained for millions of years suddenly begin to change?

Did something unknown happen to the Spirit King?
