Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

A splash of scalding blood stained the pure white haori.

Looking at Naraku Sora standing in front of him, Shikatori Hakunsai opened his mouth, a smile appearing on his rosy cheeks, before losing his last bit of consciousness.

As the spiritual pressure dissipated, the body solidified like clay, cracking open with countless fissures and losing all its color.

Then, it breaks down and weathers, forming dust that dissipates into the air.

Only an irregularly shaped gemstone remained in place.

Naraku Sora reached out and picked it up, examining it carefully. He discovered a very familiar aura.

After a moment's thought, a look of sudden realization flashed in his eyes:

"This is... Soul Shard technology?"

Chapter 306 Naraku Sora's Betrayal

Zhibo felt his scalp tingle as he watched.

Even though he already knew it was a fake, the other party's strength was genuinely captain-level, and much stronger than him.

However, even such a powerful enemy was chopped into mincemeat by Naraku in just a few strokes.

Saito, who was standing nearby, immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and turned to run away without saying a word.

Let's get away from this dangerous man first, and deal with the rest later.

But before they had run very far, a terrifying heat wave erupted behind them, as if the sun had leaped from the horizon, radiating light and heat without reservation.

The spiritual pressure rapidly approached, and Saito turned his head in horror, only to see a demonic grin right in front of him. The spiritual pressure surrounding his body blazed up like the sun walking on the earth.

The knife fell.

Rhinoceros Strike - Dragon Flash!

boom!

A dull, deafening roar erupted, and the street in front of the blade vanished instantly, revealing a vast, abyss-like canyon that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Countless pebbles vanished at that moment, as if they had been completely erased.

To prevent the imposter from escaping, Naraku unleashed his full power in his normal state.

Its destructive power is considerable.

Fortunately, there were few residents on this street, and some spirits with a bit of sense had already fled the place when the battle broke out.

Therefore, there were no casualties.

Shiba Isshin took a deep breath, suppressing his shock, and instantly appeared beside Naraku Sora, his face serious.

"Lord Naraku, what exactly are they?"

"science."

"?"

Zhibo looked completely bewildered.

Naraku Sora played with the irregularly shaped gem in his hand, holding it up to the sunlight in the sky, making it display a dazzling array of colors.

"I'm not entirely sure about the specifics either."

"We discovered the technology related to the soul from these two little gadgets."

"Perhaps there's a traitor within the 12th Division."

Shiba frowned, and the so-called "spirit technology" subconsciously surfaced in his mind.

Just recently, Kiryu Hikifune of the 12th Division announced the invention of a spirit-binding technology that could change the history of Bleach.

After verification from multiple sources, its value is immeasurable.

But how long has it been? Has the precious Soul-Binding technology already been exploited by some criminals?

Naraku Sora stared blankly at the irregularly shaped gemstone.

There's something else he didn't say explicitly: it involves not only the technology of the Soul-Binding Beast, but also the power of the Spirit King.

It's probably tissue like skin fragments.

In addition, there should be other technologies being incorporated.

The person who invented this thing was definitely a genius, it's just a pity that their wisdom wasn't put to good use.

Naraku Sora has never shown the slightest mercy to such uncontrollable and dangerous individuals.

Kisuke Urahara is different from Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

Although both of them are equally dangerous, they have relatively more self-restraint.

Moreover, Naraku Sora understands their personalities very well, so he can confidently entrust his back to the two of them.

But this researcher who suddenly appeared had no moral compass whatsoever.

Not to mention, its ultimate purpose in creating replicas is—

Destroy the Soul Society.

It's absurd, really, that every villain seems to have the goal of destroying Soul Society.

"Lord Naraku seems to know the identity of the mole?"

Zhibo discovered the blind spot.

Naraku Sora nodded:

"It should be a man with yellowish-green hair, named something like Shadow Wolf Zuo..."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Seireitei is no longer safe. We have absolutely no idea how many Shinigami have been cloned."

"Moreover, most people can't distinguish between real and fake."

"The clone is exactly the same as the original in terms of memory and strength, with only a slight difference in personality."

Upon hearing this, Shiba Isshin's expression immediately turned serious.

He didn't know much about Naraku, but he had seen the figure who stood up and turned the tide during the chaos of Hell.

Therefore, my heart is filled with respect and longing for it.

"However, it seems that the two imposters didn't manage to fool Lord Naraku."

Shiba hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Do you have some special method of distinguishing them?"

"You can't learn this unique skill."

Naraku waved his hand, indicating that Will Wave was determined to abandon this pointless idea.

He couldn't very well say that he sensed the unusual aura of the two people by detecting the circuit, could he?

Now that he's the acting captain, he has to be mindful of his public identity.

Speaking of which, when the old man was around, this guy never caused trouble, but as soon as he left, he immediately jumped out and wanted to destroy the Soul Society.

Isn't this blatantly trying to make him look bad?

If Old Man Shan finds out, he'll think he's done a bad job.

No, we can't just wait like this.

Something has to be done.

Thinking of this, Naraku suddenly felt a sense of urgency and abruptly stood up:

"Isshin, come with me!"

"Let's go back and gather reinforcements to disrupt Seireitei!"

…………

Squad 12, Dangai Research Department.

A man dressed in a white researcher's uniform stared intently at the screen in front of him, his fingers clicking rapidly.

The data symbolizing Saito's immortality and Shikatori Hakunsai's complete disappearance means that the sneak attack plan has completely failed.

In an instant, the man's face turned extremely ugly.

"Damn it, this guy actually dares to kill me!"

"Does he even care about the laws of Soul Society? What does he take the 46 Chambers for? He deserves to die!"

"Fortunately, Kiryu Hikifune, who is familiar with the Soul Reaper technology, is not in the Soul Society at the moment. As for other researchers, it is simply impossible for them to crack my Soul Reaper technology in a short period of time."

"Once I find the other half of the soul and complete the fusion, not only will Naraku Sora be unable to stop my plan, but even if Yamamoto Shigekuni returns from the Dangai!"

At this point, the man suddenly remembered something and pressed several buttons on the control panel in succession.

Soon, a figure appeared inside the research institute.

"How's the situation at the border in Bulu Prefecture?"

The green-bodied Bulu, resembling a fat catfish that had come to life, had an eerie glint in its eyes as it bowed its head respectfully and said:

"Reporting to Your Excellency, the flow has formed a loop, successfully sealing off the Valley of Scream. Yamamoto Shigekuni and the others will be unable to return to Soul Society in the short term."

"The relevant abnormal data has been sent to multiple captains in the name of Captain Yezhou, so that they can go to the Broken Boundary in batches to investigate."

"The Gotei 13 is gradually disintegrating."

Upon hearing this, Inaba Kagerousa smiled with delight.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

…………

"I'm sorry, Lord Naraku—"

Before the White Gate, a giant as large as a small mountain stood by the city wall, holding a mountain-splitting axe in each hand, his imposing presence terrifying.

"This road doesn't work!"

Naraku Sora narrowed his eyes, and his passive detection circuit immediately detected the abnormal aura emanating from Kanzaka Jitanbo.

This is not the original; it's a counterfeit.
