Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

Naraku Sora suddenly became interested and wanted to hear how Urahara Kisuke would evaluate him after experiencing three betrayals.

Upon hearing this, Kisuke Urahara looked conflicted. After thinking for a few seconds, he cautiously said:

"The most intelligent person in the Three Realms who appears to be indifferent to worldly affairs, but is actually scheming step by step?"

Upon hearing this, Naraku Sora revealed an extremely pleased expression.

As expected of Kisuke, he's much better than that adopted son who only knows how to slander him; he saw through the essence of the matter at a glance.

"Although you often slack off behind the scenes, secretly assign your own tasks to Mayuri, and repeatedly steal materials for research, you can say that you are flawed in every way."

"But their judgment is still excellent."

Urahara Kisuke: "..."

I suddenly realized that I might have been overthinking things.

Naraku is still the same Naraku, unchanged.

"Considering your honesty, I've decided to give you a chance."

Naraku Sora rose from the throne and walked out of the palace.

"Come with me."

Watching his departing figure, Kisuke Urahara's eyes flashed with a thoughtful light. After a few seconds of silence, he followed after him.

He was also very curious about Naraku's purpose.

They can't really do what's rumored in Seireitei—cultivate their own power, create a new Gotei 13, overthrow Captain-Commander Yamamoto, and try to replace him and unify Soul Society, can they?

Continue along the corridor until you come to a large door.

As the device on the wall detected someone passing by, the gate, tens of meters high, was flung open with a roar.

The bright light pierced his eyes, causing Kisuke Urahara a slight discomfort.

But he quickly suppressed his emotions and stared at the scene before him in astonishment.

In stark contrast to the unchanging night sky of Hueco Mundo, what greets the eye is a clear, azure sky, with the sun hanging high in the sky, radiating a pleasant warmth.

The wide, straight road stretches forward, with familiar architectural styles standing in between, and whimsical gardens and landscapes on both sides.

Its unique design is something that cannot be seen in the Soul Society.

Among the passersby, there were many strange-looking Adjuchas, but most of them were Arrancars wearing white uniforms.

Kisuke Urahara instinctively held his breath.

Everything before him was completely beyond his comprehension.

Naraku Sora did not aim to rule Hueco Mundo and Las Noches with the goal of creating a military organization; he did indeed bring about substantial changes to these Menos Grande.

It's hard to imagine that the Hollows, whose lives are dominated by negative emotions, would have happy and satisfied smiles on their faces.

This is very rare even in the Soul Society.

Kisuke Urahara, a former member of the Second Division and a member of the Onmitsukido (Secret Mobile Force), frequently went to Rukongai to carry out missions before joining the Shinigami Prison.

There, he saw the souls of the poor, destitute, and children who couldn't even get a sip of water, fighting each other for a pitiful amount of food...

The further back in the neighborhood you go, the less genuine smiles you see.

The contrast between the two caused a flicker of bewilderment to cross Urahara Kisuke's eyes.

Which side is hell?

"Kisuke, how are you feeling?" Naraku Sora asked.

Kisuke Urahara was silent for a few seconds, then whispered:

"Beyond imagination."

"I never imagined that the interior of Hueco Mundo would be like this."

"I've been wanting to ask you this since earlier, Lord Naraku: what is your purpose in doing all this?"

"If it's just about replacing the Captain-Commander, there's absolutely no need to go through all this trouble."

"You just need to tell him, and I think the chief commander will gladly step down."

Upon hearing this, Narakuku revealed a disdainful look:

"narrow!"

"What others give you is never as convenient as what you seize yourself."

“I, Kong, will not accept charity.”

Just then, Aizen emerged from a nearby building and slowly walked towards the two of them:

"It's actually very simple."

"Firstly, it is for self-preservation; secondly, it is to overthrow all existing errors and re-establish a correct order."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Kisuke Urahara's eyes immediately became wary.

Through their conversation, he was now certain that the real mastermind was not Naraku Sora, but someone who had been hiding in the shadows all along.

Aizen Sousuke!

His opponent was no less intelligent or capable than him, and perhaps even stronger.

When dealing with such a person, no amount of vigilance is excessive.

"Let's talk about the second thing first."

Aizen shed his usual disguise, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if everything in the world was under his control.

It was assertive, but not offensive.

It was as if he was meant to be this way.

"According to the records of the Spirit Arts Institute, the Soul Society has existed for millions of years since its birth, yet everything remains the same as it was in the beginning, without any change."

"Those in high positions remain high above, looking down on those in lower positions with an arrogant attitude, occasionally bestowing some useless things as if to show their own pity."

"The powerful never thought of changing the status quo, but simply maintained the existing order, as if everything was supposed to be this way."

"For example, Lord Yuan Liuzhai, and you."

Kisuke Urahara was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Aizen to have such a high opinion of him.

He was clearly just a lazy bum who only wanted to coast along and wait to die.

After a pause, Aizen suddenly asked:

"Mr. Urahara, what do you know about the Soul King?"

Kisuke Urahara frowned: "A god who created the world, a great being who rules over everything?"

"Yes and no."

With just a simple sentence, Aizen understood the information that Urahara Kisuke currently possessed.

Perhaps because someone was exploiting him all day, he didn't have much energy to focus on things outside of work.

Under Kisuke Urahara's increasingly astonished gaze, Aizen revealed everything he knew about the Soul King.

This includes the Spirit King destroying the Great Hollow of the primordial era, dividing the Three Realms at the suggestion of the progenitor Gangmi, and finally being ambushed and sealed by the progenitor Gangmi.

“From beginning to end, the Spirit King never resisted. In order to consolidate everything he had seized, the five noble ancestors dismembered him and cut off his arms that controlled ‘forward’ and ‘stillness’.”

“And disperse them throughout the Three Realms.”

"For example, the native god Mimihagi who once protected Captain Ukitake was the right hand of the Spirit King."

Even so, they still felt it wasn't enough, fearing that one day the Spirit King would suddenly revive and take everything away from them.

"Therefore, over the next million years, the noble ancestors emptied the organs of the Spirit King, stripped him of his power, and eventually created a 'king' that they controlled."

"The existing system was born from this original sin and has been maintained for millions of years."

"It can be said that it was wrong from the very beginning."

After hearing Aizen's words, Kisuke Urahara fell silent.

Chapter 238 So, there's only one answer!

Although Kisuke Urahara didn't quite trust Aizen as a person, he had no doubts about what Aizen said.

He is now at the mercy of others.

Deception is pointless.

If they had really fought, he wouldn't be alive now.

Although I had long been aware of the darkness within the nobility, I never imagined that the truth would be so cruel; it is no exaggeration to say that it is outrageous.

Faced with the Spirit King who created the Three Realms and was willing to sacrifice himself, the five noble ancestors were still able to bring themselves to harm him. In order to consolidate their own positions, they even cut off his limbs and emptied his internal organs.

No wonder Naraku Sora and Aizen were unwilling to accept the existing system of Soul Society; it turns out that all of this was built upon the original sin.

Normally, an erroneous order should be overthrown.

But is it really that simple?

Although the Soul Society remained stagnant for millions of years, without any positive changes, it did not undergo any positive transformation.

Yet it still exists firmly.

This means that the existing system is the most stable and reliable.

Overthrowing it might make Soul Society a better place.

However, if it is taken advantage of by some malicious individuals, things could get even worse.

The million-year history of Soul Society has not been without its challenges.

In Kisuke Urahara's view, maintenance is the safest approach.

Just as he was about to retort, Aizen suddenly smiled and said:

"Perhaps in Mr. Urahara's view, although such an order has problems, there is no need to overthrow it, because it may cause more serious chaos."

"But is its existence truly justified?"
