Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

Naraku Sora revealed a somewhat eerie smile, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"Well said, Captain Fengqiao."

"Why don't you give Captain Hirako a demonstration of his Hollowfication?"

Lou Shilang hesitated for only a second before readily agreeing.

As the captain of the Gotei 13, I have a duty to uncover the truth for my colleagues.

and.

Because of their frequent private sparring sessions, few people knew Hirako Shinji's strength better than him.

Most importantly, through years of diligent practice—

He is no longer the same Roshiro Phoenix from back then.

This battle is a chance to prove myself!

…………

Soon, the group arrived at the dojo, which had been rebuilt countless times and resembled the Ship of Theseus.

Hirako Shinji and Ootori Ryujuro stood a distance apart, their eyes meeting, their powerful auras clashing and creating visible air currents.

Lou Shiro observed Hirako Shinji opposite him and found that apart from having an extra mask, there seemed to be nothing different.

Oh right, I almost forgot, her voice is now even more magnetic.

"Lou Shilang, be careful."

"Although I'm reluctant to admit it, I'm incredibly strong right now!"

Hirako Shinji revealed a chilling smile, and under Lou Juro's shocked gaze, he unleashed an unimaginable amount of spiritual pressure, a dazzling pillar of light shooting straight into the sky.

With a humming sound that shook the air, the figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

The next second, a hideous, pale mask appeared in front of Lou Shilang, his jaw clenched, and wisps of white steam escaped from between his teeth.

A tangible light wrapped around his arm and spread all the way to his Zanpakuto.

Step forward, Tang bamboo!

The downward slash, like a collapsing mountain, carried a violent, explosive wind as it pressed down forward, with a faint sonic boom echoing in the distance.

Lou Shilang's pupils contracted, his expression changed drastically, and he instinctively raised his sword to block, subconsciously unleashing all his spiritual pressure to resist.

At the moment of impact, visible ripples swept outwards in all directions.

A terrifying force surged along the blade like a rushing river, instantly shattering Lou Shilang's defenses.

He lasted less than a second before being blasted away and slammed hard against the wall.

Inside the dojo, an uproar erupted.

Although Shinji Hirako's strength wasn't the worst even before he became Hollowfied, his performance was consistently underwhelming because he couldn't use Bankai.

But now, with just one strike, he completely defeated Lou Shilang, who was also a captain.

The enhancement that Hollowfication provides to the Grim Reaper is terrifying?!

"That didn't count."

Lou Shilang shook his head in frustration. "I'm not ready yet."

Upon hearing this, Hirako Shinji grinned:

"It's okay, this time I'll give you plenty of time to prepare."

"Also, Kensei and Luo Wu, you two should come too, so as not to waste time challenging one by one."

As soon as the words were spoken, some people began to breathe rapidly.

Chapter 350 Virtualization, is it really such an inconvenient thing?

"Captain Hirako, you did a great job!"

Naraku Sora, who was watching the drama unfold, started fanning the flames.

That's how it should be.

"Torture these remnants of the old era severely, and let them know the strength of our new generation."

Hirako Shinji immediately glared angrily.

If it weren't for this bastard's betrayal, things wouldn't have gotten to this point.

If they weren't outmatched, that slash would have landed on Naraku's head.

The other audience members also showed expressions of anticipation.

I'm very curious to see just how far Shinji Hirako can go after mastering the Hollowfication technique.

One against three?

Kensei Rokusha has a fiery temper and is most susceptible to this kind of provocation.

He immediately used Shunpo to rush into the center of the dojo, drew his Zanpakuto with a whoosh, and exuded a powerful aura.

Aikawa Raibu was somewhat conflicted.

He's not really good at ganging up on his colleagues.

Even though he knew that Kensei Muguruma was unlikely to be a match for Shinji Hirako now.

However, when she looked up casually, she caught a glimpse of Yamamoto's gaze.

The meaning is clear: go ahead and do it boldly.

Aikawa Luo hesitated for a few seconds, adjusted the Zanpakuto on his belt, and stepped inside.

With the somewhat disheveled Rojuro Hōhashi added to the mix, the two sides stood facing each other.

Naraku Sora watched the scene unfold with great interest.

On one side are the three Shinigami captains, brimming with momentum, and on the other side is the Hollowfied Hirako, with a ferocious mask and a cruel aura.

It gives off a strong sense of teaming up to fight a boss.

It remains to be seen whether Shinji Hirako can live up to his high expectations and defeat the three in one fell swoop, demonstrating the potential of Hollowfication to the captains of the Gotei 13.

Getting these stubborn old folks to willingly accept anything new is harder than climbing to heaven.

"Since you've so kindly invited me, why don't you give it a try?"

Kensei Rokugurashi placed one hand on the hilt of his sword and the other on the scabbard, assuming a drawing stance.

Aikawa Takeo took a deep breath. As a member of the opposition party, he felt it was necessary to make Hirako Shinko clearly understand one thing—

The so-called "virtualization" is merely an external force.

The only way for a true Grim Reaper to become stronger is through diligent training.

Fengqiao Lou Shilang twitched the corner of his mouth and reminded him:

"Don't be careless, Hirako is incredibly strong."

"Play, Kinshasa!"

"Smash him, Tengu Maru!"

"May you vanish into nothingness, Earth-Shattering Wind!"

The moment the words fell, a powerful spiritual pressure surged forth, and dazzling light bloomed across the arena, directly stirring up a violent gale.

Kensei Muguruma was the most fierce, disappearing from his spot the instant he completed his Shikai.

He charged straight at Hirako Shinji with a single, swift movement.

His eyes were resolute, determined to make this guy pay the price for his arrogant words.

The relatively short, earth-shattering dagger tore through the air in front of him and stabbed fiercely toward Hirako Shinji's chest.

when!

Amidst the high-pitched clang of metal, the swirling, whistling longsword clashed with the dagger, sending dazzling sparks flying.

The two tacitly refrained from using any particularly lethal moves.

Instead, they attempt to resolve their differences through the most basic swordsmanship, their own spiritual pressure, and their own power.

Kensei Muguruma's close-quarters combat skills, while not invincible, are at least very strong.

In the past, when they sparred, Hirako Shinji would not clash with him multiple times in a short period of time.

The two sides have completely different strengths in attack methods.

However, today was somewhat unexpected.

In just a few breaths, the Zanpakuto had already clashed several times.

Each time, a force as powerful as a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down on him, making it hard for Kensei to breathe.

I originally thought that Lou Julang was defeated in one blow because Hirako Shinji benefited from striking first.

Now it seems this guy is genuinely strong.

Even without using his Shikai, he was still no match for him.

A shrill sound suddenly erupted, and with the slash of the reverse-blade, not only did the spiritual pressure surge, but the power unleashed also increased several times over.

A sharp sound rang out.

collapse!

Kensei swung his Dipianfeng upwards, clashing head-on with the longsword, and immediately felt a sharp numbness in his arm.

Before he could change his move, Hirako Shinji had already charged in front of him.

Then, a simple, unadorned straight kick landed squarely on Quanxi's abdomen.

The spiritual pressure, condensed to its extreme, exploded, and Kensei was sent flying backward at a speed too fast for the naked eye to perceive, crashing solidly into the Kido barrier and creating a human-shaped dent.

Completely crushed!

Although he was completely defeated in just a few seconds, Kensei created an excellent opportunity for the other two.
