Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

"What are you looking at?"

Naraku Sora took a deep breath, looked at Aizen with a strange expression, and asked in return:

"You can't see it?"

Aizen turned around in surprise and looked up. The empty ceiling was spotless and white; nothing had happened.

At this moment, in Naraku Sora's vision, the dark red vortex kept spinning, and a large door silently emerged from it.

On the door, two hideous skulls are embedded, their slender hand bones resting on the cracks.

Slowly pull it open...

Chapter 84 Taking Numbers to the Extreme

Aizen noticed something was wrong.

The spiritual particles in the air seemed unusually active, as if something extremely repulsive had appeared nearby, and they instinctively repelled it.

"Kong, what did you see?"

"The Gates of Hell".

"?"

Gazing at the slowly opening door, a dark red aura filled the room, giving one a chilling feeling.

The skull on the door opened its eyes and stared intently at Takeda Satoru, who was inside the bottle.

It was exactly the same as what Aizen had said before.

Takeda Satoki does indeed have a connection with [Hell], and the current commotion was clearly caused by this guy.

The grotesque skeleton raised its hand and slowly opened the gates to hell.

The moment the gate was fully opened, a mixture of black and red appeared before Naraku Sora's eyes, like congealed blood.

The next moment, countless black chains burst forth from it, rushing straight toward Takeda Satoru, who was trapped in the bottle!

Seeing this, Naraku Sora instinctively drew his sword and slashed upwards, unleashing a strike imbued with crimson spiritual pressure that instantly sent the chains flying.

Takeda Satoki was the spoils of war he had worked so hard to obtain; how could he let something else steal his prize so easily?

The black chains retreated without hesitation after a single strike.

Like a child who gets burned while playing with fire, it instantly shrinks back into the dark red vortex.

The grotesque skeleton opened its eyes, its dark pupils staring intently at the figure below, as if trying to imprint the attacker's face into its mind.

Soon, a chilling creaking sound filled the laboratory, assaulting the eardrums like a sharp knife stabbing into the brain.

Under Naraku Sora's bewildered gaze, the Gates of Hell vanished.

The turbulent air currents dissipated, and the laboratory returned to calm, with only the sizzling sound of the equipment that Naraku had shattered with a single slash, as if accusing someone of their heinous act.

A flash of shock crossed Aizen's eyes, which quickly disappeared before he regained his composure: "Would you believe me if I said I didn't see anything just now?"

Nai Luokong: "..."

So, in your eyes, that terrifying scene just now was actually me suddenly going crazy and smashing precious equipment with a single blow?

Could this hell gate in the trench have appeared out of nowhere just to frame him?

Aizen lowered his gaze, landing on the shattered equipment. After a few seconds of contemplation, he said:

"Just as previously suspected, Takeda Satoru does indeed have a connection with Hell. As for whether he merged with phosphate or was already dead, further research is needed."

"But what really intrigues me is why only you can see the gates of hell?"

In fact, he had already sensed it when the Gates of Hell appeared. In addition to the abnormal fluctuations in the spiritual particles in the air, the sealed Takeda Satoru was also trembling violently.

Even a little bit of phosphorescence leaked out from the seal.

Naraku Sora thought carefully about the special features on his body.

Aside from his unwavering sense of justice, he possesses nothing more than a perfectly integrated Void Force and extraordinary growth potential.

On the surface, nothing seems to be associated with hell.

Seeing Naruto fall into deep thought, a hint of helplessness flashed in Aizen's eyes.

He was a perfectly normal person during his time as a trainee, so how did he become so unusual after joining the team?

Putting aside his outrageous talent, his ability to easily reverse Hollowfication and his mysterious connection to Hell are either enough to shock the Soul Society.

"If you have the chance, you can ask Captain-Commander Yamamoto."

Aizen suggested, "As the oldest Shinigami in the Gotei 13, he should know a lot of inside information."

"Of course, don't be foolish enough to tell everyone what happened to you."

"If there are any hidden dangers, it's hard to guarantee that Captain-Commander Yamamoto won't put aside his own family and clean house."

Naraku Sora nodded, then frowned, as if he had thought of something.

"Should we keep Takeda Satoru?"

"Judging from the commotion just now, Hell is most likely after him."

Upon hearing this, Aizen frowned, his gaze lingering on the container. After a moment's thought, he looked at Naraku Sora:

"Let's deal with it."

"The corpses also have research value. As for the captain-level materials, we may have another chance to obtain them in the future."

Before one's wings are fully grown, one should proceed with caution.

Aizen is not used to having such a dangerous presence around. If the gates of hell reopen and that guy is not around, then things will get really bad.

After a series of actions, the demonic seal on the container was broken, and Takeda Satoru was able to see the light of day again. Then, Naraku brought down his sword with his bare hands, bringing a perfect end to their feud.

The Gates of Hell seemed to fall silent because of what had just happened, and did not reappear after Takeda Satoru's death.

Everything returned to calm.

Naraku Sora, on the other hand, eagerly awaited the feedback from "justice." Based on his experience, Takeda Satoru, as an accomplice of the Tsuna-Yayo family, must have an extremely high level of guilt.

Among the many enemies he encountered, Takeda Satoki was undoubtedly the strongest.

Based on the previous performance, the benefits brought by Takeda Satoki should be quite considerable.

After the previous battles, we've used up most of our trump cards.

Right now, Naraku needs a stronger trump card.

[Successfully killed the sinner Takeda Satoru, sin value 11451, participation rate 100%!]

Your spiritual pressure has increased!

[Your understanding of swordsmanship has improved, and you have perfectly mastered the secret technique, Dragon Flash!]

[Your understanding of the Breakthrough Path has improved, and you have perfectly mastered Breakthrough Path No. 73, Twin Lotus Azure Flame Drop!]

[Your understanding of White Fighting has broken through boundaries, and you have successfully mastered Black Flash!]

The moment the light curtain dissipated, wondrous knowledge surged forth from the depths of the soul.

Countless techniques related to hand-to-hand combat intertwine and merge, transforming into a wondrous thing called inspiration, bursting forth freely from the mind.

Finally, they were integrated into one, forming a move called "Black Flash".

Originally a high-end technique from a neighboring vocational college, the essence of the ability is that when the error between the magical impact and the physical strike is kept within 0.000001 seconds, a spatial distortion phenomenon will occur, thereby causing the destructive power of the move to increase explosively.

Its growth rate is as high as 2.5 times.

That's right, not 2.5 times, but to the power of 1.

The main feature is that you fill in the numbers with your feet.

Essentially, it's a move where the higher the base stat, the stronger the burst of power.

Because their worldviews are not aligned, the effects are also different.

Naraku Sora was unsure whether he could unleash a terrifying 2.5-fold destructive power.

However, this is based on its already absurd values.

He dared not even imagine how destructive One-Bone would be under the triple buffs of Shikai, Hollowfication, and Black Flash.

It's true that the left punch deals more damage, and the right punch deals more damage.

Beside him, Aizen looked at Naraku Sora, who was standing there in a daze, with a look of surprise and doubt, and for a moment thought he was hallucinating.

The moment Takeda Satoki died, this guy's aura seemed to grow even stronger.

He discovered that Naraku Sora seemed even more bizarre than the mysteriously appearing Gates of Hell.

Perhaps the truly valuable research material is right in front of us?

Lost in his fantasy, Naraku suddenly shivered, a chill running from his tailbone straight to the top of his head, as if he were being watched by some indescribable thing.

Looking around but finding nothing suspicious, Naraku glanced at Aizen, who was deep in thought, grinned, and asked:

"Sousuke, how much destructive power do you think could be unleashed if the error between spiritual pressure and physical impact were kept within 0.000001 seconds?"

Aizen: "?"

……

……

Three days after the incident at the Moriyama family mansion, the members of the Ninth Division finally realized that their captain had gone missing.

Without any hesitation, Kensei Muguruma, the vice-captain and owner of a time-type Zanpakuto, rushed to the First Division barracks to report the situation.

When did they go missing?

"I don't know."

Did they leave any clues before they disappeared?

"I don't know."

When was the last time you were seen in public?

"I don't know."
