Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

Compared to the beasts before them, they were not even in the same league.

Even the lowest level is at the elite Grim Reaper level.

These guys are never this strong when I see them normally!

How come the spiritual pressure increased so much in the blink of an eye?

Could it be that those bastards in the True Central Prison have been hiding their true strength all along?

Damn it, what are they trying to do?!

After a brief moment of thought, it was as if lightning had struck Lou Shilang's mind.

"Are these guys really planning to defect?"

Just then, everyone rushed to the vicinity of the duty room.

"Captain's haori, golden waves."

"Our target this time is Fengqiao Loujuro!"

"Don't be afraid. Just block his hearing, and he'll be crippled. He's an absolute disgrace to the captain!"

Hearing the undisguised words of these beasts, Lou Shilang's forehead veins bulged and his teeth clenched so tightly they cracked.

Although not the original, the clone's greatest dream is to replace the original.

So this is no different from mocking him personally.

"A bunch of vulgar idiots!"

"Play, Kinshasa!"

Lou Shilang rushed out of the executive room, ready to wipe out all these insolent bastards.

The swirling golden whip filled the courtyard, emitting a sharp, piercing sound.

The ground instantly cracked open with jagged fissures, like the gaping maw of a giant beast, swallowing the billowing dust.

"Kinsara Symphony No. 11—"

"Izayoi Rose!"

Lou Shilang swung the blooming golden sand axe in front of him, creating countless interwoven ripples.

Vibrant colors bloomed amidst the clashing metal, and dazzling spiritual pressure burst forth, magical clouds rippled instantly, covering the rushing Grim Reaper.

The Shinigami of the Central Prison can easily overwhelm ordinary Shinigami from other divisions, but that doesn't mean they can handle Captain-level Shinigami.

However, normally, this kind of area-of-effect attack could easily wipe out a large number of soldiers who are not even considered officers.

But soon, Lou Shilang was horrified to discover that these guys did not fall down immediately.

Their exceptional resilience allowed them to withstand the first wave of attacks from Izayoi Rose.

When he saw the group of people charging forward again, Lou Shilang's face darkened.

“You brutes don’t understand the difference in strength. Even if my Bankai ability is ineffective, I can easily defeat you by amplifying my own strength.”

"Solution—"

A tremendous spiritual pressure erupted, and a materialized pillar of light shot straight into the sky, instantly blasting away several Shinigami who rushed up.

"Kinsharo..."

Before he could finish speaking, a dazzling white light flashed across the courtyard, and the air was filled with the high temperature generated by high-speed friction.

puff-

Hot blood splattered, and intense pain overwhelmed Lou Shilang's senses.

Looking at the extra section of silver-white blade in front of him, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"Where did this Zanpakuto come from...?"

With difficulty, he turned his head and saw a harmless-looking boy standing in the middle of the courtyard, smiling at him, a barely perceptible blue light flashing in his narrowed eyes.

Only then did the words of the beginning of the explanation resound in the courtyard.

"Shoot him, sharpshooter."

Gin Ichimaru carefully observed the other person, tilting his head slightly.

"I don't know if it's just my imagination, but you don't seem to be the Captain Fengqiao I know."

Lou Shilang opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to explain something, but blood and foam gushed from his throat, drowning out the words he was about to say.

The blade flashed back, transforming once more into a short sword resembling a wakizashi.

Just when Lou Shilang thought the other party was about to back down, a strong sense of danger came from behind him, making him instantly terrified.

There was no time to dodge; his head was blown off in terror.

His ability to fight head-on may be slightly inferior to that of other Shinigami of the same level, but when it comes to sneak attacks, there are few in the Soul Society who are stronger than him.

Even the stealth mobile units that specialize in assassination are no exception.

The speed of a sharpshooter is so fast that few people can react in time.

"The captain... he's dead?"

Only then did the Third Division Shinigami in the barracks react.

The battle broke out too suddenly.

While everyone else's attention was drawn to the attack on the Grim Reaper, Gin Ichimaru's instant-fire Divine Shot instantly killed Juro.

As the corpse crashed to the ground, its flesh and blood instantly turned into clay, crumbling into pieces.

A commotion erupted in the courtyard.

Gin Ichimaru stepped forward, picked up an irregularly shaped gem from the dust, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

"Is it fake...?"

"So this is what the prison warden really wanted."

A hint of disappointment flashed across his face as he said this.

However, Gin Ichimaru quickly regained his composure and tucked the jewel into his pocket.

Regardless, this is a rare opportunity.

Having finally managed to help Lord Naraku out of his predicament, we can't let this opportunity pass us by so easily.

He turned and walked out of the barracks.

Only then did the Shinigami of the Third Division recover from their shock and realize that Gin Ichimaru and the others had come to deal with the switched-up Rojuro.

They were immediately filled with remorse and bowed deeply in unison to the departing Gin Ichimaru.

Thank you for your help.

Hearing the voice behind him, Gin Ichimaru stopped and calmly said without turning around:

"If you want to express your gratitude, please thank Lord Naraku."

“If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have come to punish the imposter.”

Watching that departing figure, everyone wore thoughtful expressions.

So everything was under Naraku's control?

This person's wisdom is truly astonishing!

…………

Zhenyang underground meeting hall.

The atmosphere in the spacious meeting room was unusually oppressive and somber.

Elderly figures gathered here, and in the silence, only heavy breathing could be heard.

"Everyone, you've all seen the intelligence, haven't you?"

After the first seat, Judge Asano broke the silence.

"Narakuku killed the gatekeeper, Kanzaka Jitanbo, at the White Gate, shattered the Seireiten Gate, and murdered the Fifth Division Captain, Hirako Shinji, in full view of everyone..."

"And announced his betrayal of Soul Society."

"In terms of his crimes, even being imprisoned in the deepest hell for ten thousand years wouldn't be enough."

Upon hearing this, everyone's breathing quickened.

"Didn't they say that Hirako Shinji was an imposter?" A questioning voice came from behind seat number six.

As soon as he finished speaking, the person next to him glared and said sternly:

"Impersonating the captain is not that easy. In my opinion, that is just the one-sided story of the traitor Naraku."

"Yamamoto Shigekuni went to the Dankai and his whereabouts are unknown. He specifically requested from us to let Naraku Sora serve as acting captain."

"Perhaps having tasted the sweetness of power, this traitor is preparing to seize power completely at this moment."

Upon hearing this, the others echoed his sentiments, nodding in agreement.

As the highest judicial body in Soul Society, they should be supreme beings.

Even Captain-Commander Yamamoto Shigekuni has to be mindful of their opinions.

However, since Naraku's appearance, the authority of the 46 Chambers has been repeatedly diminished.

It's no exaggeration to say they lost all face.

However, due to someone's power and Yamamoto's protection, they were unable to bring him to justice.

Even if someone occasionally does something offensive, you can only turn a blind eye.

But now.

Naraku Sora's open declaration of betrayal presents a perfect opportunity.

"Since everyone agrees, let's draft a secret order."

Asano, the number one judge, relaxed his tense nerves and issued orders as judge:

"Narakuku has harmed his colleagues and plotted a rebellion; his crimes are heinous!"
