Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

Boom!

Black Flash - Five Dragons Revolve and Annihilate!

The black and red sea of ​​lightning suddenly expanded, transforming into a pillar of destructive light that pierced through the heavens and earth, directly striking Hyōjubu Ichibei, who was deep within the Unrevolving Great Killing Mausoleum!

The monk took a deep breath, his expression solemn, and wielded his white brush to meet the attack.

As the Zero Division, guardians of the Spirit King, we must not back down at this moment, even if the outcome is extremely tragic.

In an instant, the whole world seemed to freeze, and even thought completely stopped.

The next moment, a dazzling radiance shot into the sky from the darkness, as if a blazing sun had risen into the heavens.

Suddenly, the darkness of the world melted and collapsed like snow.

The Grim Reapers were pleasantly surprised to find that the immense pressure they had been under had vanished, and they had regained control of their bodies.

Countless gazes were cast toward the center of the battlefield. The inky blackness that had covered the entire sky of Seireitei disappeared, replaced by a space that was constantly collapsing and shattering.

The deep, dark scenery of the Broken Boundary was reflected above the Soul Society.

Naraku Sora stood between the domes, his strong body covered in blood and countless cracks, looking particularly ferocious, as if he could shatter completely at any moment.

It looks like a terrible scene.

Kyoraku Shunsui subconsciously held his breath, afraid that he might accidentally upset his junior brother and affect the course of the situation.

Even now, he still doesn't understand what happened.

All that is known is that Naraku Sora encountered an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, whose strength may even surpass that of the old man.

The next second, the flesh emitted a strange writhing sound, and countless muscle fibers grew and intertwined, filling the cracks in the body.

Although his stats were already very high, he was still inevitably affected by Hyobu Ichibei's all-out attack.

This battle gave Naraku Sora a clearer understanding of his own limits.

If it were Yhwach who hadn't opened his eyes, he was confident he could beat him into a lapdog.

But if it's a fully recovered Yhwach, then the outcome is hard to say.

It will most likely end in a crushing defeat.

The idea that the Holy Script is omniscient and omnipotent is a bit too much.

Fortunately, there is still room for him to improve.

Thinking of this, Naraku grinned and looked at Hyoninbe Ichibei opposite him.

The burly, robust body stood there like a city wall, the shock still etched on his rugged face. The monk opened his mouth as if to say something.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, thick blood gushed out from his chest, instantly soaking his entire body.

A grotesque rift stretched from his left shoulder all the way to his right waist.

Amidst countless shocked gazes, half of the body slowly shifted, revealing smooth slash marks.

Snap!

The remaining ink shattered with a crash, turning into countless spiritual particles that disappeared into the air. The two halves of the body separated completely, falling from the sky and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Kirinji Tenjiro, who had witnessed the entire earth-shattering battle, was completely dumbfounded and murmured unconsciously:

"Ichibei, that guy, is dead?!"

Nimaiya Wang Yue crossed his arms in front of him, his expression extremely somber.

Although the Zero Division is stronger than all the Gotei 13 combined, in fact, Hyosube Ichibei alone accounts for 90% of its strength.

Naraku Kuru was able to defeat the monk in a direct confrontation, which means that he could easily crush the three of them, or rather, the four of them.

Even if it means committing suicide to break the blood oath seal, it's the same.

The two sides are no longer on the same level in terms of strength.

Thinking of this, Nimaiya Oetsu's gaze toward Naraku Sora became exceptionally complex.

It hasn't been that long since we last met, so how come we've become so unfamiliar?

Naraku Sora suppressed his spiritual pressure, released his Hollowfication and Bankai, walked up to Hyosube Ichibei, and kicked the bleeding body.

"Playing dead is no fun."

"You haven't given me what I want yet."

Upon hearing this, the monk slowly opened his tightly closed eyes and looked at Naraku with some complicated feelings.

At this moment, he fully understood why the Spirit King favored the young man before him.

When they first met, he saw three different powers in Naraku Sora: Shinigami, Hollow, and Quincy.

Although it is still very weak, it can be perfectly controlled.

I originally thought that this was the reason why Lord Spirit King valued him.

It should be understood that the reason why the Three Realms can exist stably is because the Spirit King, who is located in the inner palace, acts as a crucial wedge.

Even though the five noble ancestors had their limbs severed and their internal organs emptied, the Spirit King still loved this world and did everything in his power to protect the Three Realms.

But this state has lasted for millions of years.

Although He never showed signs of fatigue, Hyosube Ichibei, as the guardian of the Spirit King, knew very well that he could not place all his hopes on the Spirit King.

What if one day the Spirit King's power is completely exhausted, or something goes wrong with the seal?

At that time, the Three Realms will face an irreversible end.

He must prepare in advance, searching for something that can serve as a wedge before the final outcome arrives.

This is a world into which Lord Spirit King has poured all his heart and soul; it must not be allowed to return to its original state.

Fortunately, Naraku Sora appeared.

A "Grim Reaper" who can perfectly wield three powers.

Although the final Fullbring is still missing, it is the least important part.

He removed the Spirit King's right hand in preparation for the future.

At that time, all that is needed is to completely seal that power into Naraku's body with the power of Ichimonji, and a wedge second only to the Soul King can be created.

The Three Realms will then be able to stabilize again.

But now, a new problem has arisen.

Before this, Hyosube Ichibei, who was the number one person in the three realms besides the Spirit King, had never thought of one thing: that he might not be able to defeat Naraku.

The so-called perfect mastery of the three abilities is not particularly remarkable in this guy.

True power lies in another, destroyed world.

Thinking of this, Hyosube Ichibei grinned, revealing a smile that was both tragic and somewhat eerie:

"Haha, this time I've lost."

"As for that thing, are you really sure about it?"

Chapter 367 Why is this world full of malice?

"The monk actually lost."

Above the sky, Kirinji Tenjiro looked like he was questioning the meaning of life.

Although he hadn't fought Hyosube Ichibei much, he was well aware of the strength of this leader of the Zero Division.

He didn't even need to use his ultimate move, the Unyielding Killing Ritual; he only needed to take out a single stroke and a hook to end the battle completely.

The difference in strength is so great that it's comparable to the difference between Yamamoto and an ordinary Shinigami captain.

They're not even on the same level.

Yet even such a powerful being was defeated by Naraku, truly demonstrating the unpredictability of life.

Wang Yue from Nimei House pulled out another pair of sunglasses from somewhere, put them on, and whispered:

"Now that it's over, let's go back to the Spirit King Palace."

"But don't forget our responsibilities."

He casually opened the portal to another dimension, stepped inside, and before leaving, he didn't forget to give one last reminder:

"There may be big changes going forward, so please be prepared."

Looking at the magnificent scene inside Seireitei, Senjumaru's expression was somewhat complicated. After standing there for a few seconds and thinking, he seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.

In any case, it's good that Naraku is alright, which saves her the trouble of thinking about betraying others.

After taking one last look, Senjumaru finally stepped into the Super Realm Gate.

……

……

"Of course I've thought it through. Do you have the right to refuse?"

Naraku Sora looked at Hyoninbe Ichibei, who had been cut in two, with a strange expression, and began to wonder if he had accidentally hit the guy's head.

The monk shook his head with amusement:

"As your defeated opponent, I naturally have no choice. I only hope that you will consider this carefully before making a decision."

"Some things, once decided, there's no going back."

In his view, the Grim Reaper's demand for the Soul King's fragments was simply to integrate them into himself, thereby becoming stronger.

As the essence of power, even the smallest bit of the Soul King is enough to cause a tremendous change in a Grim Reaper.

This has been proven countless times over millions of years.

Even now, the Tsunayo family is still collecting fragments of the Spirit King, attempting to create a new "Spirit King" and regain that supreme power.

Hyosube Ichibei was naturally pleased with this, and therefore never interfered.

As for Naraku Sora, although he has mastered the power outside the world, once he merges with the Spirit King fragments, will he be willing to become a wedge between the three realms?

Then it's out of his control.
