Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

Upon hearing this, Kisuke Urahara showed a surprised expression.

Aizen's control over human nature far exceeds his understanding.

Based solely on our daily interactions and his personality, I was able to anticipate what he was going to say.

Such a dangerous person, if not restrained by Naraku, would probably really turn the Soul Society and even the Three Realms upside down.

Lord Naraku, you did a great job!

"Death has an incredibly long lifespan compared to humans in the present world, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage."

"A short life gives humanity boundless courage; they constantly seek change and pass on their achievements from generation to generation."

"Therefore, although there is also countless filth in the present world, in terms of system, it has surpassed Soul Society by countless times."

"On the contrary, Death, because of its long lifespan, has long lost the courage to change things."

"For them, change means turmoil, instability, or even the collapse of everything they have."

Urahara Kisuke was thoughtful.

Clearly, that's the kind of person he is.

"But this also means that once we are on the right track, we have plenty of time to watch it continue to improve and change."

"Even if problems arise later, they can be corrected in time."

"Or even finding a trustworthy and capable person to protect all of this."

Upon hearing this, Kisuke Urahara nodded:

"If that's all there is to it, then I have indeed been narrow-minded."

"In fact, the greatest advantage of a long life is that we have countless opportunities to try and fail."

"Of course, the prerequisite is having the power to control everything."

"And now, you have clearly achieved this initial goal."

"But I'm more curious about something else. What did you mean by self-preservation?"

Upon hearing this, Aizen was somewhat moved, and then turned his gaze to Naraku Sora beside him.

At this moment, the main topic of discussion is Schrödinger's cat-like state of whether or not to sleep.

Fortunately, someone noticed the change in atmosphere in time, and under Urahara Kisuke's curious gaze, grinned and said:

"Actually, it's still related to the Spirit King."

"Perhaps he grew tired of sitting on the golden toilet, or perhaps he was attracted by this extraordinary wisdom, the Spirit King ordered Hyosugi Ichibei to convey His will, wanting me to inherit that position."

"But as you just learned, the Soul King's condition is still uncertain; it's hard to say whether he even possesses consciousness. Therefore, we must prevent the Zero Division from forcibly conscripting members—"

"We must constantly make ourselves stronger."

"Until we can withstand any crisis that may arise at any time, such as fighting against the Zero Division."

Urahara Kisuke was stunned.

He knew that Naraku had gone to the Spirit King's Palace, but he never mentioned inheriting the throne of the Spirit King.

Although it was just two simple sentences, its explosiveness was no less than Aizen's long discourse, and perhaps even more so.

"Kisuke, we've said everything we needed to say. Now it's your turn to make a decision."

Naraku Sora wasn't worried at all; he just smiled and looked at Urahara Kisuke.

What is your answer?

Looking at the sincere and unpretentious smile in front of him, Kisuke Urahara fell silent.

Despite his somewhat extreme actions, since meeting Naraku Sora, his actions have indeed been aimed at changing Soul Society and breaking this stagnant order.

But on this point, he had no reason to refuse.

"From this perspective, it seems there is only one answer."

He raised his head and looked intently at the person in front of him:

"I will be loyal to you."

Upon hearing this, Naraku Sora grinned and said, "Welcome to the Naraku Group."

Kisuke Urahara made up his mind to first feign loyalty and probe the true intentions of the two men. If everything was as they said, he would then completely switch sides.

If not, we must stop their conspiracy, no matter what it takes.

But before that, there's one more thing to say.

"Lord Naraku, a person's energy is limited."

Kisuke Urahara said with a serious expression, "If I'm in charge of research in Hueco Mundo, I probably won't be able to keep track of the Research and Development Bureau's work."

"So, could you transfer me to the Gotei 13 first?"

"You're dreaming."

"?"

Seeing the extremely ugly and exploitative face of this person, Kisuke Urahara's blood pressure immediately rose.

……

……

Despite repeatedly emphasizing that he would never choose to stay in Hueco Mundo or participate in work that was not his responsibility.

But when Aizen placed a stack of files in front of him, Kisuke Urahara fell silent once again.

On the Thirty-Nine Uses of the Spirit King Fragment

The Difference Between the Illusory and the Great Illusory Soul

Kylian Taming Manual

Analysis of the Power of Emptiness

The essence of Hollowfication and Renown

Open any file at random, and the contents are shocking.

Aizen Sousuke, you bastard...

As he flipped through some of the details, Kisuke Urahara's breathing suddenly became rapid.

As the most talented researcher in Soul Society, he had considered exploring these forbidden areas.

Unfortunately, some of the materials needed for the experiments were too rare, and as a mere seated officer, he simply couldn't collect them without violating the laws of Soul Society.

In addition, there are other restrictions.

This has led to some ideas having to be shelved.

Now that they have completely sided with the villains, they have finally seen the research they've always dreamed of.

Well, it’s so sweet!

……

……

For a period of time afterward, the Soul Society enjoyed a long-awaited period of peace.

Urahara Kisuke wandered for half his life and finally met his master.

Since arriving at Hueco Mundo, he has spent all his time in the laboratory, letting his thoughts run wild and bringing out all the forbidden research that he had only dared to think about in his head before.

Naraku would occasionally give him a few tasks.

For example, the renovation of Hueco Mundo, the innovative design of Zanpakuto, and so on.

Occasionally, when the mood strikes, he'll even design some wonders himself.

Despite Kisuke Urahara's repeated emphasis that spectacular sights could harm the country, he could not dissuade him.

Fortunately, the Hueco Mundo Palace is well-equipped and powerful, so even if His Majesty indulges in frivolous pursuits, it will not affect the overall situation.

In this rare moment of peace, time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, several years have passed.

For Death's long lifespan, a few years is but a blink of an eye, nothing at all.

But for some, it was a very important moment.

Graduation season has arrived at the Shinigami Academy.

Unable to find lawbreakers and uphold justice, Naraku Sora, having nothing better to do, came to the Spirit Arts Academy to see if he could draw a few SR cards to replenish the Shinigami Prison with fresh blood.

The students looked on with longing at the important figure who suddenly appeared on campus.

Although the Shinigami Prison was not as well-known as the Gotei 13 before, with the addition of a certain senior, the Shinigami Prison changed its low-key style and became famous in the Soul Society.

First, he thwarted the conspiracy of the upper-class noble family, Araki. Then, he orchestrated the collapse of the Tsunayo family and later spearheaded the downfall of several noble families.

In just a few years, the name Naraku Sora became a taboo among the nobility.

However, it was precisely this style of doing things that attracted a large number of aspiring Shinigami from Rukongai.

In their eyes, this upright and incorruptible character is the true greatness that can bring about change for ordinary people.

Narakuku thus recruited many talented graduates.

At the same time, he also saw an unexpected figure.

"If I remember correctly, you're not yet graduating, are you?"

The orange-haired girl grinned as she looked at the familiar face before her.

"No, but it already meets the requirements."

"The teachers at the Spirit Arts Academy had nothing left to teach, so I applied for graduation early."

"This is my application to join the team. Thank you, Lord Warden."

Naraku Sora briefly sensed the spiritual pressure of the girl in front of him, and his eyes lit up immediately.

Is it no wonder that he is the chosen one who possesses the fragment of the Spirit King?
