Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

Ha, just a nobody.

The heavy atmosphere in the darkness gradually subsided, and Yhwach closed his eyes again. While his body fell into a deep sleep, his mind was more active than ever before.

Before fully regaining power, we might as well create something else and strive to crush all obstacles in our path the moment the war breaks out.

Father, the world belongs to me!

……

……

Wang Yue slashed out with his sword, a sharp blade of light bursting forth before him, the air rustling like tearing cloth, as if it were about to sever everything.

Naraku Sora drew his sword to meet the attack, and sparks flew as their blades clashed.

In his eyes, Wang Yue was a good person.

Because of his exceptionally close relationship with Emperor Fajaya, the latter unconditionally gifted him the Zanpakuto forging technology, allowing the demobilized members of the Shinigami Prison to be re-equipped with Zanpakuto.

When he visited Phoenix Palace for the second time, he even gifted her two powerful Zanpakuto, Yotsugu and Sheath, the sentiment behind which is beyond the comprehension of outsiders.

Good people should not be held at gunpoint.

So, during the routine procedure, Naraku decided to give this sword god some face.

Let's have a kendo exchange.

Although Black Flash One Bone is unparalleled, his true strength lies in his unparalleled slashing skills.

Even Retsu Unohana, the first Kenpachi, praised his swordsmanship, saying that he had completely surpassed her in this area.

His right hand gripped the hilt tightly, arcs of electricity surging from his fingertips, flowing through each joint of his fingers, and the speed of his slashes was too fast for the naked eye to follow.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides had already exchanged dozens of blows.

The sword spirits watching from the sidelines formed a cheering squad, cheering for their creator.

But only those who have experienced it firsthand truly understand the pressure involved.

Sweat beaded on Wang Yue's forehead, sliding down his temples and gradually wetting his collar.

Although Nai's expression seemed unusually relaxed when he missed, the casually slashed sword felt like a mountain collapsing, forcing him to defend with all his might.

Only then did he realize how much pressure Hyosube Ichibei had endured in the previous battles.

Such an opponent was far beyond what a mere swordsmith like him could defeat.

But to simply admit defeat wouldn't be befit his status as a member of Squad Zero.

Nimaiya Oetsu's gaze grew even more resolute. After deflecting Naraku's incoming blade with a single swing of his sword, he stretched out his left hand to the side:

"Little Mela!"

"coming!"

A little girl with red hair rushed out from the crowd, did a somersault in the air, transformed into a Zanpakuto, and landed steadily in the hand of Nimaiya Oetsu.

"The embers are all burning, ignition!"

As the chanting of the clarion call continued, countless sparks burst forth from the blade, instantly transforming into scorching flames capable of incinerating everything.

A terrifyingly high temperature permeated the surroundings, and the moisture in the air began to evaporate rapidly.

Mera of the Flintstone, whose true form is a Zanpakuto that can unleash high-temperature flames, is usually used by Oetsu Nimaiya to forge other Zanpakuto.

It is a heat-type Zanpakuto, second only to Ryujin Jakka.

Feeling the intense heat emanating from the surroundings, Naraku's expression softened somewhat.

This scene subconsciously reminded him of his battle with Yamamoto, which truly felt familiar.

The addition of Meera Suijima did not alleviate the pressure on Oetsu Nimaiya; on the contrary, it made the battle even more difficult for him.

Naraku Sora seemed to have entered a certain state, and the power he unleashed with every move he made became increasingly terrifying.

After forcibly withstanding several waves of attacks, Wang Yue's expression turned somewhat grim.

Unable to use Bankai, he felt he had reached his limit.

Since that's the case, let's make the most magnificent exit!

Wang Yue's gaze instantly hardened, and another Zanpakuto appeared in his hand, instantly transforming into a black, long-handled hammer, which crashed down heavily amidst the raging flames.

boom!!

The raging flames shot into the sky, transforming into a massive pillar of fire that, like a volcanic eruption, completely engulfed Naraku.

The perfect combination of flint and hammer, the absolute control of the sword god!

However, when the sea of ​​fire dissipated, an unharmed figure appeared in Wang Yue's sight.

His body was enveloped in crackling blue arcs of electricity, which gradually devoured and extinguished the remaining flames in the air.

Wang Yue's pupils contracted involuntarily.

As the terrifying figure rapidly approached, the black blade in his hand was raised high and brought down heavily towards him with world-destroying power.

Wang Yue dodged in a flash, then pulled out a white flag from somewhere and waved it repeatedly:

"I'm not fighting anymore, I'm not fighting anymore."

I surrender!

The blade, crackling with electricity, came to an abrupt halt, hovering less than an inch from Nimaiya Oetsu, where one could even smell the burnt hair.

Naraku Sora grinned, deactivated his Lightning Release mode, casually twirled his sword, and sheathed it.

Next comes the formalities.

As a defeated opponent, Nimaiya Oetsu was exceptionally cooperative. When he failed to reach the residential area, he voluntarily entered the prison.

Although I don't know what the point of doing this is, as long as there's no fighting, everything is negotiable.

[Successfully suppressed the sinner, Nimaiya Oetsu, sin value 4396, participation rate 100%!]

[Your spiritual pressure has increased!]

[Your understanding of your Zanpakuto has deepened, you've grasped its 'location,' and your compatibility with it has increased!]

Upon seeing the ink-wash painting characters, Naraku felt a strong sense of unease and subconsciously looked down at the Zanpakuto in his hand.

The jet-black blade was trembling slightly...

Chapter 382 Hurry up and serve it.

Naraku Sora raised his Zanpakuto to his ear, his expression instantly turning serious.

"Hmm, I see, I see."

"Is that really how it is? This is unbelievable..."

Nimaiya Wangyue stared at the guy in front of him with suspicion, wondering what had suddenly gotten into him.

But judging from his serious demeanor, it didn't seem like he was faking it.

As the creator of Zanpakuto, he was curious about everything about Zanpakuto.

Especially this Zanpakuto, which he did not forge himself.

Wang Yue cautiously approached, trying to use her abilities to hear the conversation between the person and the knife.

But no matter how hard he tried, he could only hear the hum of the blade.

It's like two people from different regions communicating. Although they can use gestures to make each other understand, it would be much harder to understand if the species were a human and a lizard.

In Wang Yue's eyes, the language of this Zanpakuto from outside the world was even more obscure and difficult to understand than lizard language.

Just as he was struggling with this decision, Naraku Sora and his Zanpakuto had finished their exchange.

"What did your Zanpakuto just tell you?"

Wang Yue looked on with curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Nai Luokong was slightly taken aback, then grinned and said:

"She said that as long as I comprehend the true meaning of Zanpakuto and achieve oneness with the sword, I will be invincible and won't even be able to put the Soul King in my eyes!"

Ermeiwu Wang Yue: "?"

He knew that the Zanpakuto called Fajaya was very powerful, but wasn't exaggerating it a bit too much?

No one knew the limits of a Zanpakuto better than him.

Ultimately, a Zanpakuto is the embodiment of a Shinigami's soul, and its potential depends on the Shinigami himself.

The Grim Reaper surpasses Lord Soul King?

This is absolutely the biggest joke in the world.

Wang Yue didn't press the matter further; everyone has their own secrets, and he was no exception.

Forcing them to answer will only create resentment between them.

He still admired the young man in front of him and didn't want to cause a conflict between them over such a small matter.

Looking at Wang Yue, who was deep in thought, Nairoku shook his head.

Why do they all sound like Sousuke? If they tell the truth, nobody will believe them.

"Location" is actually a unique ability of Nimaiya Ohetsu, who is a sword god, allowing him to know the state of his Zanpakuto.

This ability enhances the rapport between Naraku and Bakya.

Although no specific information was conveyed just now, it did let him know one thing.

That is, above Bankai, there exists another realm—

Zanpakuto fusion.

And now, he is not far from completing this step.

……

……

After leaving the residential area, Naraku Sora went straight to Hikifune Kiryu's Wotun-dono (a type of palace).
