Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

Kill the opponent, or be killed by the opponent!

"Haha, Sora, give it your all!"

Kenpachi Zaraki seemed to have been stimulated by something, and his already exaggerated spiritual pressure surged even more, causing the serrated longsword in his hand to tremble violently.

The solidified beam of light shot straight into the sky, staining the azure expanse.

Another sun rises.

Naraku grinned: "Then you'd better catch it."

A towering pillar of fire rose from the ground, its crimson light and golden spiritual pressure vying for supremacy, dividing the entire training ground into two completely different worlds.

The blades clashed and collided, the deafening sound engulfing everything, as if the sound had been severed.

next moment.

A deafening roar erupted, and the rampant shockwaves transformed into ocean waves, spreading relentlessly amidst the roar. The aftershocks tore apart the solid ground, sending mud and dust billowing into the sky.

The gale, sharp as a knife, slashed fiercely at the outer ghostly barrier, creating ripples in circles.

This is the result of Kisuke Urahara's hard work.

To prevent multiple rushes, he specifically calculated Naraku's strongest burst, as well as other possible unexpected situations.

There was one thing they overlooked.

That is, Naraku's rate of progress far exceeds common sense.

boom--!!

Amidst a chilling explosion, a figure resembling a demon was sent flying backward, instantly blasting down the wall and crashing solidly into the demonic barrier, creating countless spiderweb-like cracks.

Upon seeing this, cheers that resounded through the air erupted from inside the team's barracks. The bloodthirsty spectators expressed that seeing such a battle of the strongest was already worth the ticket price.

Naraku Sora arrived in front of Kenpachi Zaraki, looking at the figure embedded in the Kido barrier:

"Not bad, it's a big improvement over before."

"But Gengmu, aren't you overlooking a problem?"

Kenpachi Zaraki, who looked like he was about to die, looked up blankly at the figure standing beside him.

"Tell me, what's the difference between a king and a mount?"

Naraku looked down at Zaraki and smiled:

"Is it physical appearance? Is it intelligence? Is it thinking ability? Or is it... pure strength?"

"No, that's not right, it's instinct!"

Zaraki's eyes widened, and he tilted his head.

"So-called instinct is the utterly thorough killing reaction that peels off one's own skin, cuts off one's own flesh, and smashes one's bones to the very depths of the nerves, engraved in the primitive level."

"The reason you are so weak is because you subconsciously suppressed your instincts."

"Because of the pleasure of fighting, he deliberately sealed away his power."

"But doing so will only deprive you of more opportunities to enjoy life."

So that's why.

Naraku Sora's lips curled up: "Go find your instincts. When you become king, you may witness my true strength."

Kenpachi Zaraki's face was filled with confusion.

With his mind focused solely on muscles, he couldn't understand what Naraku was trying to say.

But one thing is clear.

That means our current strength is simply insufficient to enjoy the pleasure of pure combat.

If I want to continue fighting Naraku, I must become stronger.

In a daze, Zaraki's fighting spirit soared even higher, and even his spiritual pressure became pure.

But it's clear that he's no longer capable of fighting.

That final cut almost sliced ​​his body open, revealing his bones clearly.

Soon, several team members stepped forward and skillfully carried the blood-covered Kenpachi Zaraki away.

Seeing Kenpachi Zaraki covered in wounds yet still defiant, the other members of the squad sighed with emotion.

"Captain Zaraki is really brave."

"Come on, Captain Zaraki is Kenpachi, he's incredibly brave, okay?"

"How many people have you seen dare to provoke the prison warden like this?"

"To be honest, that's true."

Among the crowd, Kisuke Urahara's face remained etched with shock for a long time.

Kenpachi Zaraki's crushing defeat was to be expected.

The Naraku monster has been around for quite some time, but what he can't understand is that this guy seems to be even stronger than before.

After standing there for a few seconds and thinking, Kisuke Urahara's eyes gradually hardened.

We can't let things continue like this.

Seemingly having figured something out, he turned and walked towards the laboratory.

Inside the training ground, Naraku watched her departing figure, a pleasant smile playing on his lips.

……

……

Koibu Mountain, a secret base.

Naraku Sora received a message from Aizen and arrived at a newly established laboratory.

“Although you don’t understand the underlying principles, I think it’s necessary for you to participate because you possess this ability.”

Aizen stood in front of the control panel and skillfully began operating the equipment.

A container rose from the ground, filled with a viscous liquid, and a familiar figure appeared.

The third captain of the 10th Division, Kuroda Ryosuke, was previously rescued from the Avici Hell by Naraku Sora.

Because he had been imprisoned in the Abyss for many years, his spiritual pressure had weakened to an extremely low level.

He's not even as good as a regular vice-captain.

That is why Aizen chose her as the subject of his first experiment.

With the injection of high-density liquid spiritual particles, Kuroda Ryosuke suddenly awoke from his coma, his eyes wide open, bloodshot, and his expression extremely ferocious.

Aizen kept a close eye on the fluctuations of various parameters on the screen. When the values ​​reached the preset value, a gem emitting a faint light was placed on Kuroda Ryosuke's forehead.

scoff-

The skin and flesh ruptured, but strangely, not a single drop of blood seeped out, as if it had all been absorbed.

As the gemstone sank into the ground, Kuroda Ryosuke's struggling movements came to an abrupt halt, like an insect encased in amber.

However, this situation did not last long. Just a few seconds later, a deafening roar echoed throughout the laboratory.

Ryosuke Kuroda writhed wildly, appearing completely deranged.

A large amount of white, viscous liquid gushed out from its facial features, instantly condensing into an ugly and hideous white bone mask. Even its body was constantly condensing external white bones.

The spiritual pressure continued to rise until it returned to the level of third-grade spiritual power, returning to the captain level.

However, the restless spiritual pressure, like a living thing, constantly roamed over the twisted body until the flesh swelled up and it completely transformed into a monster.

Aizen frowned and recorded all the observed data for future reference.

"It seems like it was a success?"

Looking at the monsters constantly erupting inside the container, Naraku asked curiously.

Aizen shook his head: "It's not that simple."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kuroda Ryosuke suddenly stopped struggling. The surging spiritual pressure and Hollow power brought his soul to a threshold.

With a shattering sound, the person instantly transformed into spiritual particles and scattered into the air.

"There is no need to regret the failure of the experiment."

Just as Naraku sighed, Aizen calmly said:

"Kuroda Ryosuke was already a defective experimental subject, and he has already demonstrated enough value. The real experiment on etherealization will begin next."

"Don't get distracted, pay attention to the changes in spiritual pressure within."

As the button was pressed, another container rose from the ground.

Chapter 234 The True Wise Man

While Aizen was busy with data calculation, analysis, and summarization, as well as various preparations for the experiment, Naraku Sora focused his attention on the gem.

Although I had seen it many times before at Hueco Mundo Labs, this was the first time I had observed it so closely.

If he remembered correctly, the Hogyoku created by Aizen could only be considered a semi-finished product.

The other half was created by Kisuke Urahara; only when the two are combined can the Hogyoku be considered truly perfect.

It can break the boundary between the souls of Shinigami and Hollows, and even grant the user's wishes.

From this perspective, Kisuke Urahara seems to have become an indispensable part of his adopted son's noble ideals.

Besides coercion, what other good methods are there to deal with Kisuke?

Naraku Sora fell into deep thought.

Just then, Aizen made ample preparations, and to be on the safe side, he also set up dozens of layers of demonic barriers in the laboratory.

Considering the powerful performance of someone after becoming intangible, by extension, no amount of barriers would be excessive.

Then, Aizen turned his gaze to the figure inside the container.

Former captain of the 10th Division, Unno Kumohei.
