Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

However, at this moment, Zarjo Shuangya stretched out his hand and grasped it out of thin air...

In an instant, the surroundings... no, including the real-world Karakura Town Prison, and even... the Soul Society and the entire Seireitei connected to the black cavity!

In an instant, the space fluctuated violently.

The Shinigami who were still in the Soul Society also clearly felt that the temperature had changed by two or three degrees...

It was at this moment that Zaraki Shuang also retracted his "Bankai"!

In his hand, he was holding a shallow sword... no, it was simpler than a shallow sword, omitting some of the "knife" features, and even lacking a blade, but...

The spiritual pressure rippling on the blade makes people feel like they can't look directly at it!

"This is my Shikai. This is also my first Shikai, because... I have to cancel the Bankai form. I don't think I have time to integrate such a large range again, right?

"I haven't told anyone about the ability of Shikai before... This is more than just canceling the weakness of Bankai. The Shikai of Yulu Zheli has only one effect, which is... to convert all the spiritual energy that was integrated when concentrating Bankai into spiritual pressure!"

Zaraki Shuangya said this and made a gesture as if he was about to swing his sword.

However, at this moment, Yilong's expression suddenly changed and he said, "Go for broke? Ah... It seems that your opponent is not me. The captain who is truly suitable to fight with you now is here."

Then Yilong turned his head and headed towards the direction where the black cavity connected to Soul Society, and saw a figure wearing a familiar haori appear...

"Is it more suitable for me?"

Zaraki looked ahead and saw a figure with an exaggerated, hedgehog-like hairstyle with bells hanging on the ends and one eye covered by an eyepatch walking towards him.

"Kenpachi? Are you calling yourself Kenpachi?" Zaraki's arrogant voice, accompanied by the sound of tinkling bells, reached Zaraki's ears.

"You claim to be so... You're the one claiming to be so, right? I'm the eighth Kenpachi who legitimately inherited the title of Kenpachi after successfully challenging the seventh Kenpachi, Captain Kuriyashiki.

"After I entered Mugen, the guy who was recognized as the ninth generation Kenpachi was just a nobody. I did not recognize any Kenpachi after the eighth generation." Zaraki said as a matter of course.

Kenpachi Kuriyashiki is also a person who once touched Souya Zaraki.

In order to fulfill his "duties as a god of death", Zaraki chose to become the captain in the fastest way possible, and killed Kenpachi Kuriyashiki almost instantly with a sneak attack - his inner attack would be very deadly to a god of death with weak inner defense if it was the first time he encountered it and he was completely unprepared.

Kenpachi Kuriyashiki was undoubtedly the last "widely loved and recognized captain" in the 11th Division before Zaraki...

Zaraki Souya did indeed earn the title of "Kengpachi", and Kuriyashiki even used his last bit of strength to stop the soldiers from seeking revenge for him, and instead convinced everyone to tentatively acknowledge him as "Captain Zaraki".

Before his death, Kuriyashiki told Zaraki that in the future there would definitely be a real "Kengpachi" who would pass on the name, and asked him to be prepared to "hand over the baton".

On the one hand, it was because of Kenpachi Kuriyashiki's personal charm, and on the other hand, it was also because Zaraki once wanted to gain the recognition of the soldiers of the 11th Division... but failed.

So Zaraki actually cares about Kenpachi's affairs...

He was even petty and mindful of the title of "Kamaitachi" - he was the first "Kamaitachi", the strongest long-range attacker in Soul Society!

He had hoped that Byakuya Kuchiki would inherit the title, but who knew that he didn't care at all, and it was inherited by a "waste" instead...

When he saw Kenpachi Zaraki at this time, Zaraki also felt the "sense of honor of Kenpachi" in his heart.

after all……

The "full strength" that Kenpachi Zaraki unleashed in Soul Society was the same level as when he fought Ichigo one-on-one.

So to Zaraki Fuuya, who had never seen Zaraki's true strength, - that's it?

"Kenpachi? You? Haha, then come and give it a try!"

Hearing Zaraki's provocative words, Zaraki Shuang was ready to fight back.

Then, Kenpachi Zaraki took off his eye patch, threw it away, and rushed over...

After holding the Shikai, his ability was transformed into the "purely powerful" Yu Lu Zhe Liu, and Zaraki thought he was unprecedentedly powerful!

however……

After the collision really started, Zaraki Fumuya was surprised to find that Zaraki, who should have been "just like that", could actually maintain his spiritual pressure at the same level as his own!

Every slash and collision ended in a draw!

If it was the previous Zaraki Futaba, he should have started to retreat and began to hear the ridicule of Yu Lu Zhe Liu, but now...

Zancheng also ignited the fighting spirit!

he wants……

Carrying the name of Kenpachi, fight to the last moment!

"Zaraki!"

"Mole Castle!"

In the black chamber, Zaraki vented the spiritual pressure that "returned" to his Zanpakutō after his Shikai.

at the same time……

Ichiryū and Aizen calmly watched him dancing wildly in the black cavity alone.

"It's just an illusion formed by a ball of air, and he can't even see through it...tsk tsk." Yilong said and shook his head.

No captain is so easy to fool. There must be a "stand-in prototype".

Aizen said tolerantly, "Well, you can't blame him... His spirit body has never gotten stronger since more than 200 years ago. If it's not in a fused state, all his perceptions are too dull. He's just a child holding a powerful sword."

"That's why I say that Captain Aizen is the most suitable opponent for him...hahaha."

Ichiryu and Aizen smiled at each other.

67. Chapter 67 Hell

67.

"Speaking of which... I never thought that the damage to the Technology Development Bureau would cause the seal on the Zanpakutō of the criminals in [Mugen] to loosen." Aizen said with emotion at this time.

It seemed as if he was just sighing and expressing his "surprise", without any doubt about Yilong's actions.

"Yes, I just wanted to help Captain Aizen and create an opportunity to obtain Urahara Kisuke's information. I didn't expect to release such a troublesome guy. Fortunately, Lord Aizen arrived in time." Yilong said that he was careless.

"No, if I didn't arrive, it wouldn't be this level of risk... Captain Zaraki is indeed on his way." Aizen seemed to be saying - even without me, Kenpachi Zaraki can deal with Souya Zaraki.

"Eh? Wasn't Captain Zaraki involved in the travel disaster? Why is old man Yamamoto so open-minded this time?" Yilong looked surprised when he heard this.

Indeed, for the Gotei 13, "Kengpachi Zaraki" is the most suitable opponent for Zaraki Fuuya!

Although old man Yamamoto, the captain-general, and Unohana, the first Kenpachi, both know Zaraki's true situation, but... if the blade is sheathed for too long, it will rust!

As the eighth generation Kenpachi, Zaraki is undoubtedly an excellent whetstone.

only……

Now that Zaraki is "defecting", Yamamoto actually agreed to let him "sharpen his sword"?

Such a grand layout doesn't seem like the work of old man Yamamoto.

"Although Captain Yamamoto is stubborn, Captain Kyoraku should not be underestimated." Aizen said without any context.

But Yilong already understood - it seemed that it was Kyoraku Shunsui who convinced Captain Yamamoto to make the right choice!

Since it is the "right choice", it is obviously not good news for Aizen, so...

Aizen took action personally and arrived first. After Zaraka's defense was "broken", he "pinched" an illusion of air in his five senses and trapped him in it.

“Then it seems that we have to kill this guy immediately. Otherwise, if Captain Zaraki arrives and has to fight him, it will be troublesome!

"It's a good thing he could kill Captain Zaraki instantly, otherwise..." Yilong seemed very worried about Aizen.

But what he said does make sense - if Zaraki doesn't die in this battle, the power that has been involuntarily sealed away in the past will inevitably be revealed more!

This will make Kenpachi Zaraki a sharper sword in the hands of the Gotei 1, and a more formidable force for Aizen. (Note )

Seeing that Ichiryu was so concerned about him, Aizen looked at him quietly for a while. Ichiryu also kept smiling. After a while, Aizen said, "No, his Zanpakutō is now a problem even if he is killed. However, since he is no longer in the fused state, the Technology Development Bureau will have a way to prevent him from coming out of [Mugen] again."

"Captain Aizen, that's a great idea." Yilong was convinced.

"Then I'll have to trouble Captain Shifengin, and also Captain Zaraki's matter... After all, it's not convenient for me to show up right now." Aizen still looked humble, as if he had just taken a sick leave.

"Leave it to me." Yilong agreed without hesitation.

Then Aizen turned around and broke through the barrier of the black cavity and left. This method of opening a new broken boundary channel in the black cavity was very dangerous and theoretically absolutely not allowed, but Aizen did not hesitate at all.

At this time, Yilong looked at the Zel Castle who was still dancing wildly by himself, and sighed in his heart...

Indeed, Yilong destroyed the Technology Development Bureau's building on purpose!

It was to lure Zicheng out. Later, Yilong wanted to win over Zicheng... at least to obtain the power of "Rain Dew and Pomegranate"!

but……

It turned out that it was not so easy to hide the truth from Aizen. When Yilong felt him approaching, he knew that he would not be able to get what he wanted immediately.

In this case, Yilong can only invite Zelcheng to come back to [Wu Jian] for a visit...

Fortunately, Aizen was also afraid that the first release of "Rain Dew Pomegranate" might destroy the balance between [Hell] and the "Three Realms", or... Aizen might have his eyes on Zarakashiro in his mind, so he did not adopt Ichiryu's suggestion to kill him directly.

In this world, in addition to the seesaw balance between the three realms, there is also a balance between [Hell] and the "Three Realms" - for lives with too strong spiritual pressure, the spiritual pressure will not dissipate after death, and their souls can only be guided to [Hell] so as not to excessively affect the outside world.

but……

Once the spiritual pressure in [Hell] is too high and the creatures in the "Three Realms" cannot suppress it, the gates of Hell will get out of control!

And Zarjo Futari...

Although he is not very strong, he is a "spiritual pressure monster".

Because the ability of "Rain Dew Zheli" is to convert all the spirit particles within the fusion range during Bankai into spiritual pressure - spiritual pressure is like voltage, and spirit particles are like electrons. It is equivalent to using the spirit particles of the entire Seireitei to instantly "charge" "Rain Dew Zheli". (Note 2)

At this time, the "Rain and Dew Pomegranate" was already on the verge of breaking through the limits of the God of Death in terms of pure spiritual pressure - it just had not completed the qualitative change, and therefore did not have the characteristics of the spiritual power limit of annihilating spirit particles, etc....

In addition, Zaraki Souya himself was not very good, which was why he was easily played around by Aizen.

However, "Rain Dew Pomegranate" is completely bound to Zaraki Futaya. If Zaraki Futaya is killed, this spiritual pressure will be "pressed" to the side of [Hell]!

"It's time to get to work..." Yilong understood that after Aizen turned and left, Zaraki Shuang might break out of the illusion at any time.

Since Aizen had already said it, Ichiryu didn't think about pretending to obey or disobeying it at all - at least not now, otherwise Ichiryu might just be conspiring with Zaraki and then find out that the person standing in front of him was Aizen!

"Female Earth Bat, give me a dose of Superman medicine..."

----

Note 1: According to the setting of the official novel "Kenpachi" in which Zaraki Fuuya appears, in "Mugen", when Aizen was communicating with Zaraki, he reminded the latter to be careful of Zaraki and even asserted that Zaraki would lose to Zaraki.

Aizen also revealed that in the "Arrancar Arc" of the main story, even without the power of Inoue Orihime, he would be able to release the Hogyoku sooner or later. The reason he kidnapped Inoue, in addition to efficiency considerations, was more to lure Ichigo and Zaraki to Hueco Mundo to avoid ruining his plan for Karakura Town - Aizen anticipated that Ichigo would come to Hueco Mundo, and predicted that Soul Society would send support, and there was a high probability that Zaraki would be dispatched.

In addition, the ultimate boss of the original story, Yhwach, also looks up to Zaraki, which shows that Aizen should also look upon Zaraki differently.

Note 2: This explanation has some secondary assumptions, especially relying on the secondary assumption that "reiatsu, eiton ≈ voltage, electrons".

In the original setting, Yu Lu Zhe Liu's Shi Kai said that it "condensed and compressed all the spirit particles that were originally fused with Seireitei."

The problem is that a large number of buildings in Seireitei are made up of spirit particles. It is impossible for him to evaporate the Seireitei on the spot with just his Shikai... This kind of thing did not happen in the original work. Everyone just felt that the temperature of Seireitei changed, so I will change the explanation slightly here.

68. Chapter 68 Does it look like a dog?

68.

"Zaraki!"

"Mole Castle!"

In Zaraki's mind, he and Zaraki were fighting heartily...

Now it has come to the final moment when they are calling each other's names, raising their spiritual pressure to the peak together, and then colliding with each other!

……

The expected huge collision did not occur.

It's not just the "sense of touch", but also the vision, hearing, smell... there is no feeling of collision in all aspects.

By the time Zancheng reacted, there was nothingness all around him.

"I've been fooled..." Zaraki's hair was still disheveled, but he had calmed down.
