Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

Mayuri Kurotsuchi's expression turned serious, and he said in a low voice, "Of course there are..."

Before the words had even finished, several figures rushed out from the crowd and fled in different directions.

But before he could reach the end of the street, his body exploded like fireworks, completely losing his life.

The nobles felt a chill run down their spines at the sight of the earthenware scattered on the ground.

They've been staying with the clones all this time. What's the difference between that and handing your head over to someone else?

Mayuri Kurotsuchi clapped his hands, his expression calm, as if he had only done a trivial thing.

However, the more he acted this way, the more solemnly those nobles looked at him, as if he were their only lifeline.

"Please be patient and wait for the next moment."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi gave a sinister smile. "Not only will I protect your safety, but I will also drag out and crush the insects hiding in the shadows one by one..."

Chapter 317 You can't possibly not do it, can you?

The 12th Division, the secret laboratory.

Inaba Kagerousa looked at the message that had been sent back, his expression grim, and he fell completely silent.

Good news, Nozomi Kujo has been found.

Bad news, that damned Naraku hijacked it midway.

His complete life was missing the most crucial piece of the puzzle.

Damn it, the original plan was so perfect.

Lure the captains to the Dankai to investigate, replace them with cloned spirits, and then use the power of the entire Gotei 13 to search for Kujo Nozomi and bring her back.

Everything was going perfectly, but then Naraku suddenly appeared out of nowhere and completely ruined the perfect plan.

We're currently stuck on the Kujo Nozomi link.

If Naraku isn't dealt with, there's a high probability that he won't be able to get back his half of his body.

But here comes the crucial point.

How could he possibly kill Naraku, who could easily crush an ordinary captain with a single blow?

Inaba Kagerouza turned his gaze to the safe, his eyes filled with an inscrutable expression.

His last trump card, and the key to turning the tide, is stored there.

Just as he was debating whether to take it out and use it, a calm voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"You don't seem to be completely panicked by the change in the situation."

"Could it be that they still have other trump cards up their sleeve?"

The laboratory, which should have been occupied by only one person, was suddenly filled with another unfamiliar voice, which sent chills down Inaba Kagerousa's spine and made him feel terrified.

He turned around abruptly and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

A young man with short, choppy brown hair stood there, wearing black-rimmed glasses. A gentle smile graced his handsome face, and a team badge symbolizing his identity was worn on his left arm.

Inaba Kagerousa's pupils contracted as he recognized the person before him.

The vice-captain of the Fifth Division, Aizen Sousuke.

He had a deep impression of this guy. When creating the corresponding spirit body before, he had encountered many failures for some reason.

It wasn't until Shadow Wolf Zuo adjusted the spirit particle parameters originally recorded in the database to a period of several years that the corresponding spirit skeleton was successfully created.

But even now, he still doesn't know the reason for his failure.

I only vaguely guessed that it might be related to Aizen's current spiritual state.

"What are you saying? I don't understand."

Inaba Kagerou looked at Aizen warily, showing no intention of admitting anything.

Aizen paid no attention to this, and continued talking to himself:

"Actually, before I came here, I was more curious about where you found the Spirit King fragment, but after seeing it, I found the answer to that question."

"I originally thought he would be another researcher with whom I could have an equal exchange of ideas."

"But as it turns out, I was overthinking it."

"The so-called spirit remains are not technically advanced; what's truly magical are the fragments of the Spirit King."

Upon hearing this, Inaba Kagerousa's eyes flashed with anger, and his features immediately contorted.

"You bastard, what do you know?"

"The Reikai is a truly groundbreaking technology. The mere creation of replicas with equal strength is enough to change the landscape of Soul Society."

"Not to mention, these clones also possess the memories of the original..."

Aizen casually interrupted the other person: "Then do you know?"

"If we truly create technology that can change the landscape of Soul Society or the current state of Shinigami, we will receive an invitation from the Zero Division."

"For example, the sword god Nimaiya Oetsu who created the Zanpakuto; and the great ori-no-kami Shutara Senjumaru who sewed the Shinigami uniform and linked this concept with the Shinigami."

"And there's also Kiryu Hikifune, the captain of the 12th Division, who developed the [Temporary Soul] and [Soul-Binding Technology]."

Inaba Kagerousa choked, his face instantly turning bright red, and he roared in fury:

"What do you know?!"

"That's because the spirit skeleton technology wasn't reported!"

"As a researcher, my goal is not to become a member of the so-called Zero Squad, but to make those who once discriminated against me regret it, and then destroy this nonsensical world!"

Aizen nodded thoughtfully, then added casually:

"But if one could become a member of the Zero Division, whether they are nobles or high-ranking members of the Gotei 13, they would definitely regret their actions."

"Mr. Inaba, as a researcher, your thinking must be very flexible. You can't possibly not understand such an obvious principle, can you?"

Inaba Kagerousa's face turned a deep liver color, his expression contorted in rage.

How can that bastard talk so infuriatingly?

He's even more repulsive than Naraku Sora; just seeing that arrogant face makes me want to vomit!

Seemingly oblivious to the change in Kagerou Sasuke's expression, Aizen continued speaking to himself:

"But not only did you not do that, you also thought of using the power of the spirit corpses to destroy the Soul Society."

"Does that mean you yourself are well aware that the value of the spirit skeleton technology alone is not enough to gain the approval of the Zero Division or even the Spirit King?"

At this moment, Inaba Kagerousa's expression was extremely ferocious.

Aizen shook his head, a hint of disappointment flashing across his face.

He had originally wanted to see if Inaba Kagerousa, who had caused such chaos in Soul Society, was of any use.

If the conditions are met, perhaps it's possible to try recruiting him into the Technology Development Bureau and investing him in some research related to the soul.

But now it seems that he is only worth studying.

Let alone comparing him to Kisuke Urahara, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, or even a newcomer like Akin, this guy might not be able to compare.

The fact that they were able to develop the spirit skeleton technology was purely due to sheer luck.

The source of the powerful spirit skeleton has little to do with Inaba Kagerousa.

Aizen silently watched Inaba Kagerousa's distorted features, his eyes behind his glasses flashing with a strange blue-purple light.

From his line of sight.

At the very center of Inaba Kagerousa's chest, on the Grim Reaper's chain, shimmered a light unlike that of the other Grim Reapers.

A familiar power enveloped his soul.

"The Soul King's chains?"

Aizen's lips curled slightly, and he said in a barely audible voice, "This really is a location with research value."

At this point, Inaba Kagerousa's patience had completely run out.

"Aizen Sousuke, I don't care how you found this place."

"But now that you know my secret, I certainly won't let you leave alive."

Suddenly, he drew the blade from his waist, raised it, and twisted his wrist, unleashing a powerful burst of spiritual pressure from his body.

"Dance wildly, Lai Kong!"

His Zanpakuto twisted in the instantaneous burst of white light, transforming into a double-edged longsword with sharp blades at both ends.

Inaba Kagerousa's expression was sinister as he stared intently at the figure before him:

"I'll soon show you that coming here alone will be the worst decision you've ever made."

"Prepare to die!"

Seeing Inaba Kagerousa's momentum surge, Aizen's eyes flashed with surprise.

As far as he knew, this person was only the seventh seat of the 12th Division.

However, judging from the spiritual pressure that has been released so far, he is already at the level of a captain, and even stronger than the average captain.

Inaba Kagerou hated Aizen to the core, and the moment he completed his release, he swung his blade fiercely.

A massive disc-shaped space appeared behind Aizen without warning, and the Kido that had been stored within it beforehand instantly erupted.

Crimson Fire Cannon, Azure Fire Drop, Thunder Roar Cannon, Twin Lotus Azure Fire Drop!

The four extremely destructive Hadō powers combined into one, and under the catalysis of powerful spiritual pressure, a strange spiritual transformation occurred, distorting the surrounding space.

boom!!

A deafening explosion erupted, and surging flames shot into the sky like a burst dam, accompanied by dazzling lightning and a fierce wind, instantly engulfing Aizen completely.

The visible aftershocks of the explosion spread in all directions.

The sturdy walls suddenly cracked open with terrifying fissures, and even the metal floor beneath their feet became a mess.

However, when the smoke cleared, the unharmed figure still stood in the same spot.
