Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

Then Seinosuke recalled for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "I can't confirm it."

Afterwards, Seinosuke also explained himself: "The doctors of the Tsunayashiro family also wanted to publish their autopsy results in the name of [Mao Seiyakuin] to prove that it was the civilians who could not adapt to the concentration of spirit particles in Seireitei that led to their low lifespans... But because I didn't see any credible evidence, I refused."

That's all Seinosuke can do.

After all, he was not here to "uphold justice", but was recruited by the nobles to serve. Preserving the reputation of [Mao Seyakuin] was his greatest effort. As for the dirty deeds of the Tsunayashiro family, Seinosuke did not want to get involved.

“Sure enough…” Unohana sighed - the Yamada Seinosuke she knew would not cooperate in doing such a thing, but… pretending not to see it, it seemed like he was the one who did it.

"When was the last time there was a death of this kind in the Tsunayashiro family?" Unohana asked instead.

"Last year, a son-in-law from the Tsunayashiro family died when he was only over 120 years old. It was the doctors from the Tsunayashiro family who performed the rescue... and announced the death." Seinosuke said after thinking for a while.

"Who was the doctor of the Tsunayashiro family? Which treatment room was used for the rescue?"

Unohana's questioning made Seinosuke a little worried, but he still answered, "It's Tsunayashiro Masao. He's not here today. It seems that something happened in his family. As for the treatment room... I'll lead the team leader there. He must have spies in the medicine hospital."

Seinosuke said this, and found another excuse to go with Unohana.

Unohana can now basically conclude that there must be something wrong with the Tsunayashiro family in this regard, but... there is no evidence.

At the same time, Byakuya Kuchiki and Yushiro Shihouin also received the Hell Butterfly messages from Kyubei and Ichiryu respectively.

They also had to be prepared for what had happened before. The Tsunayashiro family also knew that not only had they failed to kill Kyubei this time, but the secret had also been known by the Shihouin and Yagyu families!

Of course, Kyubei didn't inform her father, because...

He always felt that it would be best for her father to do nothing in order to minimize the negative impact, otherwise there would definitely be some counter-effects, so Kyubei only informed the trusted Byakuya Kuchiki.

As expected, when Byakuya Kuchiki heard the news, he immediately became concerned...

On the one hand, the Tsunayashiro family's actions had already broken the bottom line. Although as a model of nobles, Byakuya Kuchiki knew that most nobles could not live up to their words of kindness and integrity, the despicableness of the Tsunayashiro family had already exceeded Byakuya Kuchiki's previous imagination;

On the other hand, that is to say, personally... Kuchiki Byakuya's wife, as an ordinary Ryukon, could not adapt to the concentration of Reishi in Soul Society, which led to her suffering from various diseases. Even though Kuchiki Byakuya tried his best to treat her and even took her to live in Rukongai, it was too late to save her.

The Tsunayashiro family took advantage of this to cover up the life span issue of the civilian Shinigami who married into their family, and suppressed the civilian Shinigami at the same time, causing Byakuya Kuchiki to develop a strong hatred towards them out of selfish motives!

Afterwards, Byakuya Kuchiki went to the Yagyu family in person - if it was Kyubei who told Yagyu Yuki, her father would definitely make a stupid move and might even be used. However, when Byakuya visited him and discussed things with him, he would listen to Byakuya's ideas without having any opinion of his own.

As for Shihouin Yushiro, although he didn't know what to do, but... Ichiryu gave him not only an explanation of the situation, but also specific instructions. The Shihouin family also contacted the Kuchiki family and the Yagyu family at this time and began to prepare.

The Tsunayashiro family was not blind either, and they also noticed the unusual movements of the other three families...

"Idiot! You can't even handle such a small matter. How could you let that bastard Shifengyuan save the scourge of the Yagyu family, and let him discover the secret of the substitute!" Tsunayashiro Murao scolded Hikoxiong.

Yan Xiong lowered his head and dared not say more, but still explained: "I... I didn't expect it. It should have been too late. I thought that after Dongcheng Bu escaped, he would tell others that Yoruichi and Soi-Fong surrounded and killed the scoundrel, and then muddy the waters. Who knows..."

He also didn't understand how the call for help could arrive in time for a battle taking place in a place like the "Broken World"?

Masao also said at this time: "The kid from the Shifengyuan family didn't use this to threaten us, but directly leaked the news! Unohana from the medical team went to the Maou Pharmaceutical Hospital before, probably to look for clues...but of course I have already taken care of it."

Upon hearing this, Yanxiong glanced at him angrily - are you blaming me for not handling it properly?

The head of the family, Ichiyo, said at this time: "Okay, now the most important thing is what to do... The disaster of assassinating the Yagyu family is not a big deal. After all, it is an internal matter of our nobles. The Shifengyuan family can only take advantage of the fire, but if they discover the secret of those spirit bones, those untouchables may also take the opportunity to cause trouble."

"The kid from the Shihouin family is not here right now, so the rest of the people are nothing to worry about. The stubborn kid from the Kuchiki family is a bit troublesome... but he probably doesn't have the energy to be our enemy right now." It seems that Tsunayashiro Murao's status is second only to the head of the family.

Abarai Renji is still being held because of his previous suspicion - a soldier was slashed by Jabimaru, and although Abarai said that there was something wrong with his Zanpakutō and he couldn't perform "Shikai", who knows if he was faking it?

In this situation, Byakuya Kuchiki was indeed somewhat distracted...

"And...his lowly vice-captain seems to have a problem with his Zanpakutō? Investigate the situation as soon as possible, maybe we can use it..."

"My fellow swordmen! We are fighting and colliding desperately, but the Death Gods are just hiding behind us. This is oppression that has lasted for two thousand years!"

"Knife lovers in this world are reluctant to use knives to cut things, and usually apply special knife oil for maintenance. What about these death gods?"

"They say they are practicing, but in reality they are just exploiting us to develop their abilities..."

"Don't believe their lies, they just want Shikai and Bankai!"

"Believe in yourself, you are the best. Your god of death is not worthy of you. I want to cry every time I see it."

"There is no such thing as 'reaching the level of spiritual pressure that can be used for Shikai', these are all lies of the Shinigami. These are obviously our own abilities. Without the Shinigami, we would be better off!"

"Are those Death Gods really qualified to be your partners? Don't settle for less!"

……

The loss of control of [Snake Tail Pill] is just the beginning...

For several days in a row, the Zanpakutō of the Soul Reapers of Seireitei kept ringing in their ears deep whispers, inducing them to rebel.

It was Muramasa who had woken up and emerged from Kuchiki Hibiki's inner world!

Muramasa's special ability gives him many special abilities, such as...

He doesn't need the god of death and can exist independently!

And his core ability is to cast "illusion" on other [Zanpakutō] - the ability to make the dissatisfaction in their hearts continue to grow until it all materializes.

At the beginning, Muramasa deliberately avoided those "difficult" targets, such as Yamamoto, Unohana...

Even most Zanpakutō who have already achieved Bankai will not lose control immediately after being hit by this illusion, but at least they will not be able to communicate with their Shinigami partner.

The demon sword's whispers echoed in the hearts of almost all Zanpakuto.

The first group who couldn't accept it and transformed themselves were naturally the thousands of Asauchi - but most of the Asauchi were [Zanpakutō] that hadn't yet completed the spiritual pressure interaction with the Shinigami. Not only were the materials they materialized to be weirdos with limited strength and no facial features, but... the Shinigami wouldn't notice anything was wrong.

It wasn't until Abarai Renji that the Zanpakutō, which was capable of "Shikai" and "Bankai", could no longer withstand the temptation of the whisperings and began to manifest!

The sword spirits that are materialized from these [Zanpakutō] are not only extremely powerful, but are also incomparable to "Asado", and are almost the same as their corresponding Shinigami. Moreover... once the sword spirits are materialized, the Shinigami will lose the ability of "Shikai" and "Bankai", and may even be unable to defeat their own sword spirits.

"It's almost there...it's almost there...Xianghe! Wait for me...I will come to save you soon!" Muramasa said to himself firmly.

Although he tried to deceive and alienate other Zanpakutō and their Shinigami partners,... Muramasa's goal has always been to rescue Hibiki.

April 998, 3, evening.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in Seireitei...

Not to mention the sporadic sounds of fighting, and... the Shinigami have discovered that their [Zanpakuto] have become ineffective!

At this moment, Yamamoto, Unohana and Kyoraku were notified by their own [Zanpakutō] for the first time - Muramasa's mutterings rang in their ears!

"Muramasa? At this time... It's a good thing it's at this time." Yamamoto was at the Maou Spiritual Academy at this time. He looked out the window, and then silently... closed his heart!

This way, he cannot perform "Shikai" or "Bankai", but at least it will prevent [Ryujin Jakka] from being bewitched.

At this moment, the former vice-captain and current chief marshal's staff officer, Okiga Genshiro, rushed in and said, "Marshal! This is bad. In the marshal's headquarters and among the captains, many Shinigami's Zanpakuto are..."

"Everyone calm down! Tell all Shinigami that those whose Zanpakuto can still use Shikai should immediately close their hearts and isolate themselves from external invasion!"

Yamamoto was not surprised by this - Muramasa actually dared to harass [Ryujin Jakka], so it must be that other "Zanpakuto" that he was confident of had already been bewitched, so they came to him to look for trouble!

And Unohana also has Kyōraku...

At this time, they all took actions that were completely opposite to old man Yamamoto!

Muramasa was stunned at this time: "Huh? How can it be so easy?"

Old man Yamamoto directly closed his heart, making himself unable to sense [Ryujin Jakka] anymore. This was within Muramasa's expectations, but...

Unohana Retsu's [Nishizuku (pronounced the same as "Rou Na Sha")] and Kyōraku Shunsui's [Katen Kyōkotsu], actually... succeeded in bewitching them in an instant and "rebelled" on the spot?

wrong!

Why didn’t they contact me after they materialized?

Muramasa noticed something was wrong...

"Muramasa? Well... you've reached the limit of your patience over the years, right? Nishizuku, go and have some fun on your own."

Unohana, who had just come out of Mao Seyakuin, smiled and watched the cloaked figure of [Nishizuku] leave.

"Xiaohua, Xiaogu, you're out? You're just as cute outside... Xiaohua, can you pour me a glass of wine?"

Kyoraku looked at the gorgeously dressed lady "Hanaten" and the somewhat shy-looking female ninja "Kyoukotsu" who appeared in front of him, and said without panic at all.

Then, looking at the shy "Kuang Gu", Kyoraku stroked his unshaven beard and muttered: "It just so happens... let that kid accompany you for a walk later!"

Kyōraku was very familiar with "Hataten", the spirit of his own Zanpakutō. In order to know her name, Kyōraku had played countless games with her in his inner world. In order to gain the power of Bankai, he had also watched countless stage plays... and he had to write reviews after watching them.

And "Kuang Gu" is the consciousness bred by "Hua Tian"...

In essence, she is not a [Zanpakuto], but... the power of the [Eight Mirror Sword] sealed in [Hanaten]!

Although his sister-in-law had given him the Eight Mirror Sword in the hope that Kyōraku would never give the sword to Ise Nanao, Kyōraku himself did hope to protect Nanao, but...

Kyoraku had a vague feeling in his heart that the gears of fate kept turning, and Nanao might have to use the power of the [Eight Mirror Sword] one day!

It would be nice to let "Xiao Gu" get familiar with her now!

Out of their own considerations, Unohana and Kyoraku directly "cooperated from inside and outside" and took advantage of the situation to materialize their [Zanpakutō].

In comparison, old man Yamamoto was not afraid that he would lose control after releasing [Ryujin Jakka]. It's just... the power of [Ryujin Jakka] itself is something that the Three Realms cannot bear, and... he also wants to plot against Muramasa and Hibiki!

"What's going on with those guys? Never mind... it's enough!" Muramasa felt that there were still a dozen or so Shinigami, and the state of their [Zanpakutō] seemed to be somewhat special, mixed with... power similar to that of Hollows?

This makes it impossible for these [Zanpakuto] to be bewitched by it...

However...it was already time to officially start planning, so Muramasa didn't hesitate too much!

222. Chapter 221 Conversation

222.

2023-10-13

"The Seireitei is in chaos right now, and you're not going to take action?"

"Lin" in the form of an Arrancar appeared between the thrones of Karyoya Palace at this time, and spoke to Aizen with a tone of emotion and slight questioning.

Dong Xianyao, who was standing in the position of "chief steward", was not satisfied with Yilong's behavior and said, "What does this have to do with you?"

Those who don't know would think that the chaos in Seireitei was caused by a dragon...

In Tosen Kaname's opinion, this chaos was entirely caused by the Zanpakuto of the Shinigami in the Soul Society, who inexplicably began to rebel. Why do you make it sound like you created this opportunity yourself?

But actually...it can be said that way!

After all, the source of the current chaos is Muramasa, and the reason why Muramasa was awakened was planned by Yilong.

Aizen said calmly, "My dear friend, I think you should understand that defeating the Soul Society is not my goal, and defeating it in advance will do no good."

Yilong certainly understands this...

Aizen's goal is to replace the "Soul King", and not to be a "human stick" or "wedge" for the Soul King, but to become the "His Majesty the Soul King" who truly dominates the three realms!

The biggest obstacle to achieving this goal is not the former Gotei 13, nor the current five major forces, but... Squad Zero, that is, those royal spies.

"Zero Squad?... Of the five captains of Zero Squad, except for the [Sword God] Nimeiya Oyue, there is the oldest and most mysterious [Real Name Calling Monk] Hyoshubu Ichibei. The other three are probably not known for their fighting skills..." Yilong also rarely used an "unsure" tone at this time.

The members of Squad Zero already have some initial qualities of a "Soul King", or at least have been transformed using the power of the Soul King, so it is difficult for Ichiryu to see their future, and it is almost impossible to predict anything.

"No, my dear friend, if you really think so, when you reach the summit with me later, even you will suffer at their hands... or even perish completely!" At this time, Aizen seemed to be a real good friend of Ichiryu, and reminded him sincerely.

Of course Yilong would not believe what he said, but he pretended to believe it on the surface.

"Unfortunately, I entered the Soul Society too late and have never met any member of Squad Zero," Yilong said regretfully.

After Yilong said this, Aizen kept staring at him, and there was silence for a moment on the throne - as if he was questioning Yilong whether he really "had never seen it".

In theory, no, after all, Yilong only entered the Soul Society one hundred and one years ago.

After a moment of silence, Aizen continued, "The five captains of Squad Zero are not easy to deal with, and I have only met two of them... The last one to join is Captain Hikifune Kiryu. When she and Kenpachi Kuriyashiki received the invitation, I was just an unknown.

"Although Captain Hikifune was invited to join the Gotei 13 because of her invention of the [Gift], it does not mean that she is not strong. Even Kenpachi Kuriyashiki at the time recognized that Captain Hikifune's strength was not weaker than his own."

Compared with Hikifune Kiryu and Kuriyashiki Kenpachi, it is not that they are weak in strength but have inventions. Instead, they are equally strong and have the extra "bonus points" of inventions!

In Aizen's heart, before he joined Squad Zero, Hikifune Kiryu was already a powerful captain in the Gotei 13, second only to Yamamoto and equal to Kuriyashiki.

Later, Squad Zero invited Kuriyashiki and Hikifune Kiryu to join, but Kuriyashiki refused.
