Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

It's essentially about containing the released spiritual pressure.

Then, a barely perceptible cracking sound rang out, and the bone fragments that had grown from the forehead instantly turned to dust and vanished without a trace.

The irreversible blurring vanished at this moment.

"..."

In the deathly silence, Aizen's expression froze, his pupils contracted sharply, and he could hardly believe what was happening before his eyes.

At the same time, an awkward feeling grew in the silence, almost overwhelming people.

As a researcher, this was the first time he had ever seen virtualization be autonomously controlled.

Because I had never seen it before, it aroused my strong curiosity.

But when he thought about what he had just said and what he had done, he had an urge to silence everyone who knew about it.

Sure enough, nothing good ever happens when you're with this guy.

As a result, Aizen's gaze toward Naraku became increasingly dangerous.

"Let me explain!"

Feeling a chill run down his spine under Aizen's gaze, Naraku Sora quickly spoke up:

"My power is different from your understanding of etherealization."

Aizen's expression remained unchanged, seemingly oblivious to what he was hearing. Standing at the edge of the charred pit, he hurled his Kido spear into the crater, and it struck its mark.

Takeda Satoru, barely clinging to life.

The demonic light flowed into his body along the crack, and countless chains shot out from the gun, like facehuggers, instantly sealing Takeda Satoru away completely.

Although there were some twists and turns in the process, the result was ultimately correct.

Following Ishikawa Sosuke and Hijikata Mine, his research lab has gained another key member.

Compared to the previous two, the latter is much more valuable.

As a captain-level Shinigami, Takeda Satoru's endurance far exceeds that of ordinary Shinigami.

Some experiments that ordinary Shinigami cannot withstand can be allowed to be tried by Takeda Satoru.

Most importantly, his body also contains the unique phosphorus of Hell.

This is something that no other Death Captain can match.

But when he thought about the origin of these test subjects, Aizen suddenly couldn't maintain his composure.

When exactly did this guy start getting involved in all of this?

Aizen subconsciously began to ponder.

Completely exhausted, Naraku Sora lay in the charred pit, silently waiting for his body to recover on its own.

Although he seemed to have the upper hand in the battle with Takeda Satoru almost the entire time, he actually almost burned away all his spiritual pressure.

The final burst of ethereal power almost drained the last bit of spiritual pressure, betting all its strength on that perfect One Bone attack.

The absolute value obtained by sacrificing spiritual pressure.

Aizen used Shunpo to appear beside Naraku, crouched down, and asked while casting Reply:

"Explain this: what is 'blurring'?"

"I remember when you were a wardens, you were a normal Grim Reaper."

Naraku Sora raised his eyelids and grinned:

"It's related to the Central Prison. The first two I imprisoned were two Adjuchas Menos Grande."

“From that time on, I possessed a portion of the power of the void.”

No one understands Aizen better than him.

Lying to him would be asking for trouble; you simply couldn't hide it from him.

But telling the whole truth would be too shocking, so I decided to pick out some things that could be said to get by.

Aizen looked thoughtfully at the person who was rapidly recovering under the influence of the Dao, but did not ask any further questions.

Judging from his subtle expression, this guy was definitely not lying.

But his intuition told him that Naraku hadn't told him everything either.

However, everyone has their own secrets. This guy has already shown his ethereal power without any scruples in front of him, so what is there to argue about?

Perhaps even Naraku himself doesn't know the origin of his Hollowfication.

Aizen focused his attention on healing and did not devote much energy to learning the Dao of Resurrection, only understanding its basic principles.

Because he saw no need for it.

The life force of a Shinigami is often linked to spiritual pressure. As long as the spiritual pressure is stable and can be restored, the body can recover through its powerful self-healing ability.

In some ways, this is very similar to the Hollow's super-fast regeneration.

However, upon closer examination, it involves the different properties of the spiritual particles that constitute each other.

Ultimately, the return to the path is actually a means of stimulating the Grim Reaper's own regenerative abilities.

When spiritual pressure is injected into the injured person's body, combined with certain fixed treatment procedures and corresponding surgical methods, even the most severe injuries can have a glimmer of hope.

Therefore, the amount of spiritual pressure and the degree to which it can be manipulated are of paramount importance.

And Aizen perfectly fits both of these criteria.

There is no need to learn those complicated and useless healing rituals; simply inject spiritual pressure, which is beyond the reach of ordinary Shinigami, into the injured person's body.

As the spiritual pressure gradually recovers, the super-fast regeneration once again comes into play.

The tiny cracks healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Naraku felt his depleted body rapidly regaining its strength.

Soon, the two of them leaped out of the deep pit.

Although it hasn't recovered to its peak, it's mostly recovered and can withstand another battle of equal strength.

Aizen glanced at the shadows in the ruins and pointed, saying:

"What should we do with those guys?"

Naraku Sora looked over in that direction.

Noticing someone's gaze, the dozens of noble members hiding under the composite defensive ghost path all took a step back in unison.

They were terrified of this terrifying being who had defeated a captain of the Gotei 13 in a direct battle, and they didn't even dare to look him in the eye.

They could only huddle in a corner of the ruins, trembling with fear.

Naraku Sora used Shunpo to move to the outside of the small Kido barrier and grinned at those inside.

Everyone's faces immediately contorted and their features twitched.

Naraku Sora fondly remembers those times when she would run to the toilet during the long break to skip the morning exercises, only to find her homeroom teacher's terrified expression inside.

"Don't be afraid. I am at least half a nobleman. For Yoruichi's sake, I won't go too far."

Although Naraku Sora had a kind smile, a sincere expression, and even his words sounded credible, it was hard to believe given the previous battle scenes.

As a result, when their palms pressed against the demonic barrier, everyone instinctively stepped back again, as if the person standing in front of them was not a god of death, but a natural enemy they instinctively feared.

Click!

A shattering sound suddenly rang out, and the demonic barrier that the noble members had painstakingly maintained vanished.

Then, they clearly saw a fierce smile slowly emerge from that seemingly harmless face.

"Therefore, I will try my best to give you a quick and painless end."

What followed was the nobles rising up in rebellion in order to survive.

The Moriyama family, supported by Tsunayoshi, surprisingly has many members who are high-ranking Shinigami (death gods) at the level of Seat Officer, and whose Kido (demon arts) skills are superb.

Whether it's breaking the chant, following the chant, or even double chanting, it can be performed with ease.

Such a master of demonic arts is rare even in the Gotei 13.

Then, he was cleaved in two by Naraku Sora, who kept his promise.

When the crimson spiritual pressure once again filled the ruined courtyard, all the noble members involved in the incident perished.

As a result, Naraku's spiritual pressure experience bar increased slightly.

He also extracted the Kido technique of post-chanting, although it was of little use to him.

Right now, only Takeda Satoki remains as the main source of profit.

Before setting off, Aizen had instructed them to avoid killing the other party, as many experiments could not be conducted due to a lack of materials in the laboratory.

Furthermore, the secrets of "Hell" must be uncovered from Takeda Satoru.

His value in life is greater than his value in death.

However, it's not that they absolutely cannot be killed. Once all the value has been extracted, the corpse can still be used for other experiments and research.

After dealing with the noisy noble members, Aizen first dealt with the remaining spiritual particles at the scene, and then maintained the Kido barrier that was teetering on the brink of collapse in the aftermath of the battle.

The demonic barrier covering the entire mansion can not only conceal spiritual pressure, but also be used for disguise.

To ordinary souls and commoners, the Moriyama family mansion remained completely unchanged.

Furthermore, since this place is located at the border between the town and the outer district, it was several days later when the Gotei 13 discovered the anomaly.

As for the disappearance of Captain Takeda Satoru of the Ninth Division, although it was a major incident, he deliberately avoided other Shinigami when he went out, so no matter how the Gotei 13 investigated, it was impossible to implicate the two of them.

……

……

Koibuyama, the secret research lab.

The layout here hasn't changed much since my last visit.

Aizen swiftly sealed Takeda Satoru into a huge bottle filled with green liquid, and to be on the safe side, he applied multiple layers of seals to the surface.

However, just as he finished doing all this, he suddenly noticed that Naraku Sora's expression was a little strange.

His eyes were wide open, staring intently at the sky, as if there was some terrifying scene above.
