Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

Whether it's the boost to his growth potential or the assimilation of Hollow power, Naraku Kuro easily surpasses ordinary Shinigami.

Let alone a vice-captain level Grim Reaper, I can fight even a captain-level one!

Naraku Sora was full of confidence, his undisguised aggressive gaze fixed on Shutara Senjumaru not far away.

then.

He then saw the woman's lips curl into a beautiful smile as she released her spiritual pressure.

In that instant, time seemed to stand still.

A terrifying spiritual pressure, like a vast ocean being overturned, suddenly erupted. The air became sticky and thick, like heavy mercury, rolling in from all directions.

The internal organs are under unimaginable pressure.

Naraku Sora fell into deep self-doubt. Wasn't it said that the Zero Division members' strength would only achieve a qualitative leap after the King Key was forged using the power of the Soul King?

What's going on with this exaggerated, suffocating spiritual pressure right now?

“A Shinigami your age is usually in a period of rapid growth,” Senjumaru said to himself, as if trying to justify his current behavior.

"The strip search is merely a necessary measure."

"Come, let me see if your development is normal or not..."

Chapter 48 The girl slowly typed a question mark.

"Goo-"

Naraku Sora once suspected that he was not fighting the evil woman Shutara Senjumaru, but Yamamoto Shigekuni in that human skin.

A terrifying spiritual pressure, as if the sky were collapsing, enveloped the entire research lab.

Such a huge gap made Naraku give up the idea of ​​resisting. He sighed, then leaned back in the chair that had been prepared in advance and lay flat, letting her do as she pleased.

In fact, this kind of behavior has happened more than once or twice.

Almost every time he trains, Senjumaru would appear nearby from time to time to collect data such as height and weight, spiritual pressure fluctuations, and changes in spiritual power.

Occasionally, a little blood is drawn and poured into some strange reagent for testing.

Given Naraku's near-absent scientific knowledge, it's impossible to discern what this woman is busy with every day.

Seeing the person lie down flat, Senjumaru was stunned for a moment, then a barely perceptible hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

Before long, Naraku Sora's clothes were all removed, revealing his almost perfect, smooth lines and his well-developed muscles full of power.

Slender, fair fingers gently touched the skin, seemingly checking the state of the spirit.

The sharp gaze was almost tangible, seemingly penetrating the skin to reach the deep muscle structure, bone shape, and even the distribution of spiritual pressure.

Although the atmosphere was somewhat ambiguous, Senjumaru's expression remained quite serious at that moment.

"If the soul of the Grim Reaper is a hollow structure, then Hollow is another hollow structure in contrast."

"The ingenious thing is that the two can fit together perfectly in some places to form a more perfect structure."

"But the biggest problem is that during the integration process, the slightest mistake can lead to a complete collapse of the soul."

“But you’re different, silly boy. Although we can’t fully analyze the structure of your soul, it’s already very close to that perfect structure in terms of its appearance.”

"Based on my observations of the composition of spiritual energy, I have made new improvements to the Death Armor."

As they spoke, a black cloth descended from the ceiling and hovered in front of Senjumaru, from which several golden skeletal arms extended.

"My Zanpakuto is called Thorn, and after its Shikai, it takes the shape of a sewing needle. It can be used to sew various clothes with special functions, and it can also be used to fight enemies."

Normally, Shinigami don't tell others about the abilities of their Zanpakuto, unless they are very close to someone they can completely trust.

Of course, this excludes those who are mentally unstable.

It's obvious that Senjumaru truly loves Naraku Sora, and he didn't even keep the abilities of his Zanpakuto a secret.

"It is precisely because of the existence of the thorns that I was able to create the [Shinigami Robe], a conceptual garment that affects all Shinigami."

Before long, a brand new Shinigami outfit reappeared in front of Naraku Sora.

Still themed in black, the difference is that there are several intertwined gold patterns embroidered on the arms, which elevates the overall look of the garment.

There are quite a few members of the Gotei 13 who modify their own Shinigami uniforms; modifications of this degree are simply not noticed by others.

"Give it a try."

Senjumaru picked up the clothes, a smug expression on his face.

Naraku Sora quickly changed into his new Shinigami uniform, and immediately noticed something was amiss.

"Hmph, have you noticed?"

Senjumaru raised an eyebrow and said with a serious expression.

"Just like the principle of the Shinigami soul that I just mentioned, the new Shinigami, based on the original structure, has built the part that is unique to Hollows."

"Correspondingly, all aspects have been improved, and it can form a steel-like defense similar to a Hollow based on its own spiritual pressure intensity."

"The self-repair function also draws on the super-fast regeneration of the Great Menreiki and is completely bound to your spiritual pressure. When your spiritual pressure is sufficient, your Shinigami will automatically restore to its complete form."

"The only drawback might be that this theory cannot be applied to the concept of Death Armor."

Senjumaru said with a hint of regret, "In other words, this is a Shinigami set that belongs exclusively to you. Unless someone can perfectly control the power of Hollows like you, they simply cannot unleash its full potential."

Naraku Sora briefly tested the effects of the Shinigami Armor, and indeed, as Senjumaru had said, it could increase defense by adjusting the intensity of spiritual pressure.

Although it is not as strong as his own defense, it is a considerable improvement in terms of performance.

If it could be widely adopted, the overall strength of the Grim Reaper would likely rise to another level.

Senjumaru then took the opportunity to demand a test tube of blood, ostensibly to further improve the Shinigami armor and optimize the data related to Hollowfication.

Naraku Sora responded very generously to this.

Although the bad woman was usually a bit of a troublemaker, she was quite useful in crucial moments. She not only helped him shorten the time it took to master Shikai, but also developed a brand new Shinigami outfit.

Most importantly, the benefits derived from those studies were mostly used for Naraku Sora himself.

For Senjumaru, it was more about satisfying his curiosity.

Maybe all scientists are like that.

Naraku Sora, dressed in his brand-new Shinigami uniform, went to the dojo for further testing and to continue his unfinished training.

Perhaps we could consider trying our luck with the sinners in the Black Rope Hell.

……

……

In the quiet executive room.

Yoruichi stared silently at the documents spread out on the desk, where words such as "nest of maggots" and "riot" stood out.

"Sho-ling, how many times has this happened this month?"

The girl standing beside him fell silent for a moment, then whispered, "Lord Yoruichi, this is the seventh time."

Since the downfall of Shihouin Gouji and others, the Shihouin family has inevitably fallen into chaos.

That group not only interfered in the management of the family, but also planted spies and tampering in the Second Division and the Covert Force.

Although those troublemaking elders have been sent to meet their ancestors, they still caused considerable damage.

Clearly, the term "die-hard loyalty" is not just a figure of speech.

As an independent surveillance system separate from the Gotei 13, the Onmitsukido (Secret Service) is not without its share of assassins and suicidal agents, which led to a mass rebellion on the very day they learned of the deaths of Shihouin Gouji and others.

The already strained manpower situation has now become even more dire.

Yoruichi rubbed her temples and said wearily:

"I need to transfer a Shinigami from another squad who can suppress the maggot nest. The basic requirement is that they can defeat those guys with their bare hands."

Upon hearing this, the girl beside her began to rack her brains to think of a Grim Reaper who fit this requirement.

In fact, quite a few members of the Gotei 13 were capable of doing it, but they all held important positions and simply didn't have the time to suppress the maggots' nest.

"Well, there's really no need to worry about it too much."

Yoruichi reached out and patted the girl's shoulder, grinning as she said:

"I've come up with a suitable candidate, but it will come at a price."

"What price?"

"It's probably something like offering oneself in marriage."

"?"

Bee-tailed Ling's pretty face was full of astonishment.

Chapter 49 Fatherly Love is Like a Landslide

Fifth Division barracks, dojo.

Perhaps it was because of the new Shinigami uniform that Naraku felt he was in excellent condition today. As he lowered his body slightly, his right hand rested on the hilt of his sword.

As the fingers moved, amidst the high-pitched grinding sound of the joints, a violent heat surged forth, as if the place had turned into a furnace.

Strands of crimson spiritual pressure coiled around his arm like lightning, constantly solidifying and refining before finally pouring into the blade.

next moment.

The incredibly sharp blade sliced ​​through the air, carrying unparalleled heat and spiritual pressure far exceeding that of other Shinigami of the same age, and slashed directly towards Aizen's location.

Faced with the fierce attack, his eyes behind his non-prescription glasses became more serious.

Aizen suppressed his smile and, instead of dodging as before, mobilized his immense and heavy spiritual pressure.

Pure spiritual pressure flowed out from the acupoints on his wrist, gathered, and enveloped the back of his hand, transforming into six slender ghost path circuits that intertwined with each other, instantly carving out a simple and basic ghost path ritual.

Then, under skillful manipulation, dazzling lightning burst forth from it.

He lunged forward!

Two figures with full special effects collided violently, and a shocking explosion erupted instantly, like thunder suddenly exploding at close range.
