Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

"Sousuke, my good brother!"

"Quickly use your invincible brain to think of a solution!"

Seeing Naraku Sora suddenly burst into the laboratory, Aizen's hand trembled, and he almost ruined the liquid killing intent stone he had just extracted.

Veins bulged on his forehead, and his blood pressure soared.

Based on his understanding of Naraku, after each breathtaking feat, he would usually quiet down for a while.

In someone's words, this is called cooling CD.

But this CD is far too short.

Just a few days ago, he had a battle with Yamamoto that shook Hueco Mundo, and almost got expelled by Yamamoto.

What's hard to accept is that this guy actually used it to break through to the level of a transcendent being.

This inevitably made Aizen feel a sense of urgency, and the first thing he did upon returning to Soul Society was to devote himself to the research project on the fusion of the Hogyoku.

Just when things were finally starting to look promising, this guy came back again.

Aizen rubbed his furrowed brow, trying to smooth it out so he wouldn't look so troubled.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Naraku pulled out a chair and plopped down in it. He took a few deep breaths, cleared his throat, and under Aizen's unfriendly gaze, began to describe in detail what had happened in Hueco Mundo.

That's how it is.

“I promised Mayuri that I would help him get enough Soul King fragments.”

"Moreover, since the captains of the Gotei 13 became Hollowfied, the Espada have clearly fallen behind the times."

"Herribel and the others are loyal, we can't show favoritism to one another, can we?"

Aizen was taken aback at first, then frowned.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi had previously mentioned the Second Release: Resurrection project to him, but at the time he was busy with other research, so he only offered a few insignificant suggestions.

Unexpectedly, with Szayelaporro's assistance, this guy actually completed the project.

No wonder he was recognized as a scientist by Kisuke Urahara.

In some areas, he is inferior.

Aizen subconsciously recalled Nemu Kurotsuchi, the artificial Shinigami created by Mayuri Kurotsuchi a few years ago.

It is said that he is growing at an extremely fast pace and has already reached the level of a vice-captain.

At this rate, it probably won't be long before he becomes a captain-level Grim Reaper.

Compared to the Hollows created using the Hogyoku, Nemu's scientific value is undoubtedly higher.

It seems that Mayuri Kurotsuchi has been influenced by someone, and he treats Nemu Kurotsuchi with the complete respect due to an elder.

They treated it as a living, breathing person, rather than a so-called masterpiece.

Thinking of this, Aizen glanced at Naraku Sora, who was still chattering on and on, and his brows slowly relaxed:

"The Tsunayo family's collection of thousands of years has been completely exhausted, and most of the Soul King fragments collected from various parts of Soul Society have also been used on the Hogyoku."

"Right now, if we want to find the fragments of the Spirit King, we probably have to turn our attention to the present world."

Upon hearing this, Nai Luo Kong was taken aback, then suddenly realized something.

If he remembered correctly, besides Shinigami, Hollows, and Quincy, there was another special group possessing immense power—

The Perfect Manipulator.

As far as I can remember, the source of this group's power is the fragments of the Spirit King.

It is precisely because of the power of the Spirit King that his lifespan is no shorter than that of the God of Death, and his growth rate is even faster.

Just as Naraku Sora was stroking his chin in thought, Aizen calmly said:

“Some time ago, Ishida Muneaki sent a cross-world communication, saying that he had discovered abnormal spiritual energy fluctuations in Karakura Town. Judging from the traces, they did not belong to Shinigami or Quincy.”

"It seems to be related to humans."

“I went to the site to collect the remaining spiritual particles. After a series of analyses, I finally concluded that this power may be related to the Spirit King.”

"Now, all we need to do is go to the mortal world and find the owner of the spirit particle."

……

……

"That's not how you use Fullbring."

In a dark alley in Naruki City, a young man carries an unconscious middle-aged man, a faint light emanating from his palm.

"Possessing such power, yet willing to live such an ordinary life, and even not daring to make a move against the Hollows, the natural enemies of Fullbringers."

"I will preserve your Fullbring power for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a light emanated from the middle-aged man's chest, flowing like water into the young man's hands.

As something is lost, the middle-aged man's appearance ages rapidly, and his once calm features begin to become distorted, as if he is enduring unspeakable pain.

Just as the young man was enjoying the pleasure brought by his increased strength, a crisp sound suddenly came from the alley entrance.

Click.

The young man's expression changed drastically, and he abruptly turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came.

A pale-faced young man was seen taking photos and recording things with something that looked like a camera.

"To draw upon the life and strength of one's own kind?"

"It is somewhat similar to the virtual world."

"Excuse me, sir, could you come with me?"

The moment their eyes met, the young man's pupils contracted sharply, alarm bells rang in his mind, and an unprecedented sense of crisis instantly enveloped his entire body.

It felt as if a cold hand was gripping my heart tightly.

It's almost impossible to breathe!

Overwhelmed by intense fear, he reached up and pulled off the cross necklace around his neck. With a flash of light, the necklace instantly transformed into a giant two-handed sword.

Without any hesitation, the young man swung his hand forward in a backhand strike.

Clang——

The clanging of metal against metal erupted from the alleyway, sparks flying onto the walls and leaving barely perceptible scorch marks.

Ulquiorra spread his slender fingers, holding the blade of his two-handed sword in his palm, and stared expressionlessly at the young man standing close to him.

"Did they ultimately choose to resist?"

"Lord Aizen said that as long as the person is alive, no matter how disabled they are, it will not affect normal use."

So, are you ready?

As soon as he finished speaking, an irresistible and terrifying power emanated from the two swords.

Immediately afterwards, a pale white hand suddenly appeared in sight, magnified infinitely.

The next second, Ulquiorra pressed one hand down on the opponent's shocked face, pulled and yanked him forward.

With a deafening explosion, the young man was blasted away, piercing through the building behind him in mid-air and crashing into a stone pillar, sending up a visible cloud of dust.

Ulquiorra stood there, his ordinary right hand outstretched, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Even though they had used all their skills back in Hueco Mundo, they couldn't leave a single mark on Naraku Kuro.

But once in the real world, a seemingly powerful human couldn't even withstand a casual strike from him.

The vast difference in strength left Ulquiorra somewhat bewildered.

What level am I at right now?

With such strength, can he truly serve Naraku better?

Just as he was feeling lost, a deep green crescent-shaped sword aura shot into the sky, tearing through the air and slashing towards Ulquiorra.

But just as the attack was about to hit, that pale hand reached out again and, to the young man's incredulous gaze, gripped the sword tightly.

Click!

Countless fragments of spirit particles scattered from Ulquiorra's palm, a hint of boredom flashing across his calm face, as he murmured softly in the alley.

"too weak……"

Ulquiorra's emotionless gaze instantly locked onto the young man amidst the smoke and fire. Under his horrified gaze, Ulquiorra raised his right hand and extended his finger.

A serrated light bursts forth at your fingertips.

boom--

A terrifying beam of light streaked across the sky, striking the fleeing figure with pinpoint accuracy. The instantaneous impact knocked the figure unconscious, leaving them charred black as they lay amidst the ruins.

Ulquiorra activated his teleportation device, appearing beside the young man and making a call:

"Fullbringer, Ginjo Kugo."

"Capture complete..."

Chapter 359 There are also differences between the BOSSes

Inside the spacious and brightly lit laboratory of Hueco Mundo.

A figure was stored in a cylindrical glass container, bobbing up and down with the viscous blue-green liquid.

Ulquiorra stood to the side, reporting on the intelligence gathered in the mortal realm.

"With the help of Ishida Sogen, I locked onto the target's spiritual pressure. When I discovered him, he was using a special ability to absorb the power of another Fullbringer."

"The target is very strong, even surpassing most of the Death God captains."

At this point, Ulquiorra thought for a moment and added, "Before Hollowfication."

"Further intelligence confirms the target's name as Ginjo Kūgo. His core ability is a necklace, which can transform into a cross-shaped two-handed sword, capable of unleashing energy attacks similar to sword pressure..."

It was only then that Naraku Sora realized who was inside the glass jar.
