Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

"Oh, it's Shijima. Long time no see."

Seeing that familiar smile, Shijima Chigiri felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and her expression became distorted.

Can anyone tell me why she's the captain of the medical squad?!

There are eight thousand flowers of Mao!

Chapter 271 Changed the Existence of Soul Society

"Ha ha……"

"It's Yachiru-senpai! It's been a long time."

Chigiri Shijima felt her facial features were somewhat frozen, and her smile was particularly stiff.

"Shishima, you seem very nervous."

Retsu Unohana smiled gently, like the warm sunshine of spring, incredibly comforting.

However, in Shijima Chigiri's eyes, the woman's smile was more terrifying than the cruelest torture in hell; just standing there made him break out in a cold sweat.

Damn it, you're already dead, there's no need to be afraid of her.

At worst, I'll just die again, there's nothing to be afraid of!

Shijima Chigiri tried to hypnotize himself, but the smile on his face became increasingly stiff, and his hand involuntarily gripped the Zanpakuto at his waist.

Seeing this, Retsu Unohana immediately understood:

"So you didn't contact me just to catch up."

"Could it be that you're dissatisfied with the Fourth Division becoming a support unit, so you came here specifically to see if the new captain meets your requirements?"

As captains of the original Gotei 13, they didn't spend a very long time together, but they were teammates who fought side by side.

So they understand each other's personalities quite well.

Although Shijima Chigiri only said a few polite words, Unohana Retsu still noticed something from his micro-expressions and movements.

"I am sorry about the Fourth Division being converted into a logistics and medical division."

"It was actually one person's stubbornness that led to this situation."

Retsu Unohana explained calmly, her fair hand gently resting on the hilt of the sword.

"Shishima, do you know why I studied the Way of Rebirth in the first place?"

Upon hearing this, Shijima Chigiri paused for a moment, then looked up with a somewhat bewildered expression.

"Returning to the Dao can heal injuries sustained in battle."

"That way, we can enjoy the thrill of fighting even more..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a heavy, viscous killing intent surged forth, sending chills down one's spine.

In Shijima Chigiri's vision, a black aura seemed to linger and fill around Unohana Retsu, instantly transforming the silent courtyard into a hellish scroll composed of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Even as a dead person, one cannot suppress the fear that permeates from the depths of one's heart.

This is an instinct etched into the soul.

Without the slightest hesitation, the instant Unohana Retsu's aura shifted, Shijima Chigiri was the first to draw her sword. The silver blade illuminated the courtyard, dispelling the chill brought by the killing intent.

He knew very well that if he continued to let the other side build up their momentum, they might not even have the courage to draw their swords in the end.

Among the many captains of the original Gotei 13, Yamamoto was in a class of his own.

Retsu Unohana is in another tier below him. Perhaps a few of his colleagues can fight him for a few rounds, but he, Tomogiri Shishima, is definitely not one of them.

Even after being strengthened by the will of hell, he still lacked confidence.

The moment the sound of a sword being drawn rang out, Unohana stirred violently.

A tangible killing intent emanated from the pristine white figure. In an instant, they covered the distance between them, the hem of their robes billowing wildly, and the curved blade slashed out at an extremely bizarre angle.

The terrifying spiritual pressure was completely compressed into the Zanpakuto, emitting a chilling faint light.

Clang!

The moment of impact, a piercing, resonant shriek echoed throughout the courtyard.

Without a stalemate, Unohana Retsu flipped her wrist and swung it diagonally upwards along the opposite blade, aiming for the neck of Shijima Chigiri, who was still a newcomer.

The change was so fluid, almost instinctive, that Shijima Chigiri had to react hastily.

when!!

Instead of retracting his Zanpakuto as it slashed forward, a section of black chain emerged from the light as he unleashed his spiritual pressure.

It blocked Unohana Retsu's slash just in time.

The chain was not sturdy, but it could still stop the object for a moment. The moment the two collided, the rings broke and fragments scattered.

This gave Shijima Chigiri the perfect opportunity.

"what is this?"

Looking at the shattered chains, Unohana Retsu asked with some curiosity.

Out of caution, she did not touch the chains, and even released spiritual pressure to protect herself from them.

Soul Society still has too little knowledge about Hell.

Given the lack of sufficient information, it's best to be cautious.

She didn't want to hold her side back at such a critical moment.

"A symbol of the person who committed the sin."

Chigiri Shijima scratched his head. "It doesn't really make any sense."

"but……"

"I don't know if it's just my imagination, but Yachiru-senpai seems to be stronger than before."

Unohana Retsu nodded and said calmly:

"I have to thank Sora for this."

"If it weren't for him, I might still be stuck in the past. It was Kong who taught me some swordsmanship skills and opened the door to a new world for me."

Shijima Chigiri was filled with questions.

Could the emptiness that this great villain is talking about be the Naraku Sora who makes even hell tremble?

That kid actually managed to subdue this dangerous woman?

Just then, Retsu Unohana's figure suddenly disappeared from sight, replaced by a sharp blade of light that seemed to cleave the heavens and earth in two.

Shijima Chigiri's pupils contracted sharply, and she instinctively unleashed all her spiritual pressure in an attempt to resist while forcibly twisting her body to dodge.

However, even with thorough preparations, the spiritual pressure protection collapsed the moment it was touched, flesh was torn apart, and half of the arm was severed.

Two figures passed each other, and Shijima Chigiri looked at the figure in front of her in fear.

Unohana Retsu stood holding her sword, drops of bright red blood rolling down the gleaming blade and falling to the ground beneath her feet.

"Shishima, unleash your full power."

"Consider it a celebratory gift for the new members of the Fourth Division..."

As Shijima Chigiri watched Unohana Retsu gradually resembling the image in her memory, her heart was filled with sorrow.

Among the many culprits who have returned to Soul Society this time, no one is more unlucky than him.

Gathering hellish pyrotechnics, forcibly regenerating his severed arm, Shijima Chigiri gritted his teeth, gripped the hilt of his sword, and charged straight at the attacker.

……

……

Hisami Ente looked at the broken figure lying in the ruins, his expression very complicated.

He seriously suspected that old man Yamamoto had a problem with his Ninth Division.

Otherwise, why would they choose such a weak guy to be the captain?

If we run into Yamamoto later, we must make him replace the captain. If that doesn't work, we can give him some special training.

It's understandable that they are weak.

But if you can't even tolerate a little pain during a battle, that would be a bit too shameful.

Just then, a figure walked from the end of the street and quickly came up to them, stopping a few meters away.

"Nice to meet you, Hisami-senpai."

"I will be your opponent from now on."

Hisami Iyate frowned, staring at the suddenly appearing young man with displeasure.

The captain, Yuzhi, who had no symbolic identity, had dark skin, but her eyes looked bright and piercing.

"Vice-captain? That's fine too."

"If you can last a little longer than this guy, you'll gain my approval."

The man opposite shook his head and said in a low voice:

“I am not a member of the Gotei 13; strictly speaking, I can only be considered a sixth seat.”

"But Miss Kaku said that in public, we should call ourselves the new Gotei 13."

"New captain of the 9th Division, Kaname Tosen, reporting for duty."

Hisami Entei looked completely bewildered, not understanding when the Seireitei had acquired a new Gotei 13.

However, judging from the spiritual pressure it emits, it is quite sharp.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether it's new or old for a dead person."

"But if you're too weak, you really could die!"

Tosen nodded seriously.

Since becoming a member of the Shin-O Prison, he has taken the tendency to engage in cutthroat competition to the extreme.
