Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

"The location of the Invisible Empire has just been exposed."

Yhwach tried his best to remain calm, but anyone could hear the suppressed killing intent in his tone, as if he couldn't wait to kill his way to Seireitei.

Hasward was startled and immediately understood what the other party meant.

To avoid an early start of war, we have no choice but to leave this place.

Seemingly sensing Haschward's concerns, Yhwach said in a deep voice:

"No need to worry, once I regain all my power, I will personally take everything from that guy."

"Including his life and soul!"

As he spoke, he opened his right hand, and countless points of light immediately scattered from the halo of holiness, surging into his body.

The previously dormant spiritual pressure began to rise again with this action.

Yhwach could clearly sense that his power was increasing at a visible rate.

If this trend continues, let alone a Grim Reaper, even...

The Quincy King, who was enjoying the boost in power, suddenly opened his eyes, his features immediately contorted, and his expression became extremely ferocious.

"Hmph! Ahhh!!"

Under Haschward's astonished gaze, Yhwach's body began to proliferate, his arms swelled, and organs that did not belong to their corresponding locations grew.

In just a few seconds, His Majesty the Emperor, who had just been so elegant, had transformed into a monster.

Not only that, he was also enduring pain that ordinary people could hardly bear, as if someone were scraping his bones with a knife.

"It's a form of poison!"

"That guy mixed powers that don't belong to the Quincy into the Sanctuary!"

Hasward's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

The other party's real purpose was not to find out the location of the invisible empire, but to mix the illusory poison into the rite of sanctification, thereby interfering with His Majesty's recovery.

A thousand years have passed, and I never imagined that Death would become so vicious!

Yhwach struggled to raise his hand and painfully traced a pentagram, each movement intensifying the excruciating pain within him.

It would be fine if it were just absorbing the spiritual pressure of a Hollow, but Saints merge power into their souls.

This is equivalent to a void element being incorporated into his soul; a perfectly good Quincy has become a hybrid due to someone's actions.

But abandoning this part of the power is something that cannot be done.

The only way is to gradually peel away the illusory parts by usurping the altar.

However, every second was unimaginable agony.

Yhwach's swollen body pressed against the throne, his eyes tightly closed, suppressing the rage in his heart, letting out a low growl like that of a wild beast:

"Nai Luo Kong, Nai Luo Kong..."

I'll remember you!

Chapter 397 The Calm and Composed Captain

"It's done!"

Under Aizen's gaze, Naraku Sora, like some kind of evil villain, revealed a sinister smile of triumph.

"Sousuke, you truly are second only to me in wisdom!"

"Yohabach was stunned by my punch. He was so angry that he lost the ability to think and began to absorb the power from Saint Bernard without thinking."

"He absorbed all the carefully prepared poison he was given!"

Aizen adjusted his glasses, automatically filtering out the insulting remarks directed at him, and went straight to the point:

"Have the coordinates of the Invisible Empire been determined?"

"Perhaps we can invade the Shadow World before Yhwach realizes what's happening."

Naraku Sora waved his hand:

"I overheard Yhwach and Haschwalth talking before I left. They'll probably move to a different location soon, so even if we know the coordinates, it won't matter."

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Aizen's eyes.

He was also thinking about whether he could take this opportunity to wipe out the Quincy, but he didn't expect the Quincy to be even smarter than he had anticipated.

Pity.

The two fell from the sky and returned to the Ishida Manor.

They were greeted by Ishida Sogen and his son, who bowed deeply upon meeting them, looking as if they wished they could bury their heads in the ground.

"Thank you so much, Lord Naraku, Lord Aizen!"

Naraku Sora, however, didn't seem to care at all.

Strictly speaking, this is a win-win situation.

If it weren't for Saint-Berg, finding Yhwach's location would be virtually impossible.

As for saving the lives of those Quincy, it was purely a side effect.

"Because the Quincy's power was bestowed by Yhwach, I cannot stop him from taking it back; I can only save their lives."

Naraku Sora casually offered an explanation:

"Also, there's no need to worry about that guy activating the Sanctity a second time. The Quincy of the present world are no longer of any value, and Yhwach doesn't have the time to waste on you for the time being."

The Ishida father and son exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

Lord Naraku speaks with such certainty, as if he has personally witnessed Yhwach.

Although they still had some doubts, they temporarily put aside their worries because of their trust in Naraku Sora.

"You're in charge of cleaning up this mess for now."

Naraku Sora casually tore open the black cavity, preparing to return to Soul Society to continue being a slave.

The first rule of Soul Society.

The captain of the Gotei 13 and the First Division must not be missing for an extended period of time, otherwise, Seireitei will have another angry old man radiating rage.

However, before they could leave, a powerful and familiar spiritual pressure entered their perception radius.

A slender figure darted across the rooftops and appeared inside the Ishida Manor in a few flashes.

Seeing the Quincy lying unconscious all over the ground, Ichigo was startled.

But he quickly figured out the key point.

It turns out that the reason Naraku stayed here was because there were more lives waiting for him to save.

It seems that although he doesn't act like a decent person most of the time, he can be quite reliable in crucial moments.

Ichigo, recalling Masaki Kurosaki's pained expression, couldn't help but take a deep breath.

His small face tightened, as if he had made a great decision, and he bowed deeply to Naraku Sora.

"Thank you, Mr. Naraku."

Seeing his solemn expression, Naraku seemed to have thought of something, grinned, and reached out to rub Ichigo's head a few times.

"No need for thanks, just don't blame me in the future."

Ichigo looked up at him with some confusion, seemingly not quite understanding the meaning of his words.

Naraku Sora clearly had no intention of explaining. After waving his hand, he stepped straight into the black cavity.

Aizen glanced at Ichigo, who was standing there in a daze, with some pity, shook his head, and turned to leave the human world.

If he remembered correctly, the last person targeted by that guy was Kisuke Urahara.

……

……

It has been some time since the traitor took over as captain.

Recently retired Yamamoto, having nothing to do, suddenly had a whimsical idea: to go and see how the Captain-Commander of Naraku Sky was doing his job.

With Aizen Sousuke's help, there shouldn't be any problems.

The old man, leaning on his cane, walked through the barracks of the First Squad and found the duty room with ease.

Despite the large-scale reconstruction, Naraku Sora is clearly a sentimental person, and the overall style and layout of the team's quarters have not changed.

Yamamoto was also pleased with this.

However, when he opened the door, a mountain of documents immediately came into view.

The old man's vision went black.

Ignoring his anger, Yamamoto turned around and started asking around if anyone had seen the Captain-Commander, but the answer he received was that Captain-Commander Naraku had been missing for three days.

Yamamoto was furious.

To prevent the newly appointed captain from dying in some remote corner without anyone to collect his body, he directly employed the Ghostly Path of Finding People.

"Binding Technique 58: Slapping the Toe and Chasing the Sparrow".

The immense spiritual pressure spread out from Yamamoto, quickly covering the entire Seireitei and continuing to spread towards Rukongai.

Wait, where are they?

Yamamoto felt that his blood pressure, which he had finally managed to calm down, was about to spike again.

Just as he was pondering whether to launch a search operation for the Captain-Commander in the Gotei 13, the familiar spiritual pressure returned to the barracks.

Following the spiritual pressure, one could see Naraku Sora displaying a smug expression, occasionally raising his right hand to show off to Aizen beside him.

Aizen was somewhat helpless about his childish behavior, but he could only endure it.

After all these years, you'll get used to it if you just put up with it.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Naraku saw Yamamoto with a gloomy face. He immediately smiled and rushed over to greet him.

Yamamoto, expressionless, looked at the captain-in-chief who had no sense of righteousness and began to wonder if he had made the wrong choice.
