Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

Although many nobles of the "Gold Seal Nobles Council" look down on the small nobles who have seats in the forty-six sage chambers but have no seats in the "Gold Seal Nobles Council", but... there are also many nobles who have seats on both sides!

For a moment, everyone was confused, the capable had their own plans, and the foolish were panicking...

At this moment, Yagyu Yukari's "mumbling to himself" shifted the attention of all the nobles back to the present - the candidate for the successor to the head of the Shifengyuan clan.

Originally, there were two choices, namely, "merit-based succession system" and "bloodline succession system". Yilong supported the latter and was ready to support Yushiro, the direct descendant of the original clan, to take the throne, while Taiyi's old friend supported the former...

But now the situation has changed suddenly!

From the family head to the four elders, the first four heirs are now declared to be exterminated.

If we follow the "merit-based succession system", then the successor should be... the Five Elders, Shifengyuan Ichiryu!

Yilong's blood relatives are actually very much a side branch, which is different from the usurper like Shifengyuan Taichi.

Judging from their skin color, Taiyi and his three sons are still dark-skinned, while Yilong has red lips and white teeth.

Generally speaking, nobles would not accept such a side branch's bloodline to inherit the family head. Even under the "merit-based succession system", everyone understood and would tacitly put such side branches behind.

But now...

too suddenly!

The head of the family and the first four heirs were suddenly killed, leaving no chance for replacement!

Zheng——

When everyone was stunned, Yilong suddenly drew his sword and put it directly on Zangsuke's neck - although this man was only a "steward", he was Taichi's confidant.

Yilong had observed before that the group spirit of Taiyi's old friends was focused on this person.

"Captain Yilong!"

"Wait a minute..."

The nobles were also shocked at this time, and Kuchiki Masumi and Yagyu Yuki hurriedly called a halt.

Yilong had no intention of putting away his sword. Instead, he questioned Zangsuke, "Zangsuke! You are a retainer of Shifengyuan. You have no right to interfere in the affairs of the master of the family. But since you insist on speaking, I will give you one last chance to speak... Which side do you support, the one that disrupts the government or the one that restores the orthodoxy?"

The elderly Zangsuke's lips were trembling at this moment - if it were before, even if the Illong sword was placed on his neck, he would definitely support the "last will" of the Tai family head.

But now...

The choice becomes whether to support Yilong or Yushiro?

What's the point of this?

"Or do you want to gather the people to cause chaos?" Yilong saw his hesitation and immediately raised the blade.

“Zangsuke! You, you better say something! How can you give up the position of the family head…” Master Ze was completely confused at this time and started shouting, but the people from the supervisory team had already crowded forward.

Facing Yilong's murderous eyes, Zangsuke uttered a sentence from his throat: "I... I support the ranking of merits, the head of the family should be..."

Zangsuke knew that the situation was hopeless, so he might as well obey Yilong first and make plans later.

"Wait!" Tsunamiyo interrupted immediately.

However, before he could say anything, Zangsuke suddenly felt himself flying, and Master Ze, who was originally behind him, stood upside down with a look of horror...

Then something seemed to hit his head...

Ah, it’s the ground…

When he saw his headless back, Kurasuke finally reacted.

At this time, Yilong shook off the blood on Qian's body amid the exclamations of the people around him, and then said in a cold voice: "The head of the Ye family is missing, Xi Shilang should be the 23rd head of the Shifengyuan family. Anyone who dares to speak out and rebel will be killed without mercy!"

Ye Yi is the 22nd head of the family, and Tai Yi is the 23rd head of the family before him...

What Yilong is saying now undoubtedly means that he not only wants to fight for the throne, but also wants to label Taiyi's lineage as "rebellious"!

If Yilong had killed Zangsuke without authorization before the news of the annihilation of the "Mao Forty-Six Chambers" came, it would have been enough to trigger repression from the "Gold Seal Noble Council", but now...

It was you, Kurasuke, who said that you wanted to support the "merit ranking system", so doesn't that mean you are supporting Ichiryu's promotion?

If Yilong killed him, it would be like a family head killing his own retainer or even his own slave. For the nobles who had nothing to do with the matter, this was not a crime at all. Its nature was completely different from killing him half a quarter of an hour ago.

At the same time, the death of Zangsuke also completely eliminated the counterattack of Taiyi's old friends...

At this time, Tsunayashiro Hidego just made a "tsk" sound with a livid face, realizing that all the arrangements made at Shifengyuan's house had been in vain!

Just now when Kurasuke showed weakness to Ichiryu in disguise, Tsunayashiro Hidego still wanted to interfere, but now Ichiryu directly killed Kurasuke and supported Yushiro, making the position of the head of the family no longer a suspense.

While Taiyi's old friend was still worried, some quick-witted clan members had already bowed down in the direction of Yushiro and Yilong, saying, "Greetings to the head of the family!"

Then the voice of "Greetings to the Master" swept across the courtyard...

Anyone present who is not stupid has already understood that it is not "anyone who supports the successor of Jigong will be killed without mercy", but "anyone who disobeys Yilong will be killed without mercy", no matter what the name is!

Ichiryu chose to support Yushiro, on the one hand because if he became the head of the family, he would not be able to take care of both the Forty-Six Chambers and the Gotei 13. Without the title of head of the family, Yushiro would find it difficult to even hold the position of "Sage", while the head of Shihouin could be a "Judge". On the other hand, it also prevented Yoruichi from fighting him to death. Anyway, Yushiro completely obeyed Ichiryu's arrangements...

"Thank you all from the Gold Seal Noble Council for coming to the Shifengyuan family to bear witness to this. However, the position of the head of our family has been vacant for a hundred years. Today, it has finally been restored. I still have many matters to deal with, so I will not stay for long. I will invite you to a banquet in seven days. I hope you will come then."

Yilong then directly asked to see the guest off.

Seeing that the fate of the head of the Shifengyuan family was no longer in suspense, the nobles of the Gold Seal Noble Council did not stay any longer - after all, when they came, only one person from the Shifengyuan family had died, and now that they knew about the Forty-Sixth Room, many of the nobles had their own funerals!

Only Yagyu Yukari specifically warned Yilong before leaving: "The Soul Society has encountered a sudden change this time, and the Shifengyuan family has suffered particularly heavy losses. It is not advisable to cause any more twists and turns..."

This was considered as a secret warning to Yilong not to kill people, but Yilong had a flat reaction to this, and just said: "Thank you for your concern, Master Yagyu. From now on, our clan will handle the affairs of the Shifengyuan clan."

77. Chapter 77 Execution

77.

In the year 997 of the Holy War, on August 8, at the hour of Si, at the Hill of Double Execution.

At this time, the captains and vice-captains of each team who were supposed to arrive had basically arrived.

Only Captain Hitsugaya and Vice Captain Matsumoto of the 10th Division, and Vice Captain Shihouin of the 2nd Division, have not arrived yet. Hitsugaya Toushirou and Matsumoto Rangiku are heading to the "Pure Pagoda Forest" because they have discovered new clues, while Shihouin Ichiryu has changed his route because of the Gold Seal Noble Council...

As for Ichimaru Gin and Kira Izuru, they were already in the process of "defection", and since Aizen was "dead" and Kurotsuchi Mayuri was seriously injured, they were naturally not there either.

In fact, Kenpachi Zaraki is also suspected of defection. He was asked to arrest Zaraki Fuuya before, and he went, but he is not present now.

In addition, Ukitake Jushiro, who was injured because of Hinamori Momo before, is naturally on sick leave at this time.

On the contrary, Byakuya Kuchiki, who could have reasonably avoided the incident, was actually at the scene. He just stood there with a stern face and said nothing, as if nothing had happened. However, his Shinigami suit and haori were a little messy, as if he had experienced a battle on the way, which made the other captains look at him sideways.

At this time, Yamamoto Shigekuni looked at the position of the Tenth Division and the Second Division. He did not say a word about the two people who had not arrived yet. He just took note of it in his mind and did not say anything immediately.

"Release the two assassins." After Yamamoto found out that the time had come, he directly gave orders to Soi-Fong and Daiki Dojo, without waiting for Hitsugaya and Shihouin.

"Yes...the release of the Double Strike!" Soi-Fong was also confused - where did Ichi-Long go?

However, there is no chance to search now. At this time, Soi-Fong also orders the Execution Squad of the Third Division of the Secret Mobile Team.

At this moment, Shuangzhi looks like a super long sword that is tens of meters long. The blade is only two or three meters long. Although it is very long compared to ordinary weapons, it is obviously disproportionate to its "handle" that is tens of meters long.

Normally, the "Double Execution" is tightly sealed, with layers of sealing ropes tied around the handle...

When it is activated, not only does it need to be charged in advance, but also when it is officially used, the "Ghost Path Group" must unlock the sealed ghost path above, and the execution team of the "Secret Mobile Team" must complete the adjustment.

Taking advantage of this last moment, Yamamoto looked at Rukia who was already fixed under the execution rack and said, "Kuchiki Rukia, do you have any last words to say?"

"Captain, I have one last wish... All the travel disasters were caused by me. I hope that after the execution, I can send them back to the human world and put an end to everything." Rukia's expression calmed down at this time.

"As your last wish...I agree to it." The captain said without opening his eyes.

The execution rack that held Kuchiki Rukia was gradually rising to the execution platform which was also several dozen meters high.

Then, with the cooperation of the "Ghosts" and the "Execution Team", the heavy restraints on the [Double Punishment] were untied, and bursts of flames overflowed from the [Double Punishment]...

Just the unsealed [Double Strike], its spiritual pressure made the ordinary Shinigami around... and even the vice-captain, feel uncomfortable!

Then, as the spiritual pressure of [Double Strike] increased, more and more spirit particles were mobilized, and waves of flames began to be emitted, and... it was liberated into the appearance of a giant bird with its body burning with the destructive sun, spreading its wings and hovering in the air.

"That's..." When Kotetsu Yuune saw [Double Execution] for the first time, he finally understood why the execution rack was set so high.

"The King of Destroyed, the first stage of the Double Killing." Unohana explained in a low voice. (Note 1)

This is only the first paragraph!

Unohana has seen the final form of [Shuang Ji].

Only the final form can be considered to have "practical effect", and now it can only be said to have "symbolic significance".

The fully released [Double Strike] can destroy the spiritual pressure of the second-class or even the initial level of first-class spiritual power!

This means that the spiritual pressure of the executed god of death will completely disappear, and he will not enter "hell" and cause additional pressure on the three realms.

However, if it is a Grim Reaper with third-class spiritual power or above who has died in battle, [Double Strike] cannot lock onto Panhuan's spiritual pressure, and he can only be sent to hell through [Soul Burial].

Therefore, those imprisoned in [Wu Jian] are basically criminals whose spiritual pressure cannot be destroyed even by [Double Execution].

The "Double Execution" form of "King of Destruction" cannot do this. It is used for execution, and the targets are all Shinigami below the captain level. After their death, their spiritual pressure will collapse, so it is just symbolic...

However, if there is something hidden in the spirit, it will be forced out by the "King of Destruction" - for example, the [Hougyoku] in Rukia's body now. If Rukia is killed normally, the [Hougyoku] will also be destroyed, but if she is killed by the "King of Destruction", the [Hougyoku] will be separated out when the spirit collapses!

Even so, for these vice-captains who have never seen the world, it is already shocking!

But at this moment...

The "King of Destruction" rushed towards Rukia, as if it wanted to use its "beak" to pierce and burn her!

but……

Suddenly, the "King of Destruction" paused!

The next moment, everyone discovered that a figure wearing a black Shinigami suit and with silver hair that was made even more dazzling by contrast, had appeared in front of Rukia at some point and blocked the "King of Destruction" that was rushing towards him.

Rukia wasn't the only one with her eyes widened...

"Is that kid the Ichigo that Liehuo mentioned...hiss, is it still too early, am I too excited? Why do I feel..." Kyoraku was looking at Ichigo, especially his white hair... He always felt that something was weird, and it seemed inexplicably familiar!

"Yes, judging from his characteristics, he is the leader of the travel disaster...what do you think?" Nanao looked at his captain in confusion.

Ise Nanao, who always looks at Ichiryu with tinted glasses, doesn't have any special feelings towards Ichigo.

after all……

What could a righteous and affectionate travel disaster have to do with the dark, twisted, and sinister old man "Beep" of the Shifengyuan family?

At this time, Soi-Fong looked at Ichigo in a daze, and her eyes gradually became strange.

Unohana smiled slightly at this time and said kindly: "You stopped the King of Destruction with just a knife. Lu Huo is quite capable."

"Yes, yes..." Tohru Yuyin didn't know what was wrong. The captain's tone seemed a little dangerous.

At this time, old man Yamamoto opened one eye and looked at Ichigo who was blocking the "King of Destruction" in the air. I don't know what he was thinking, and then he said calmly: "Second stage release."

The ghosts who have become "ghost assistants" naturally prepared immediately.

However, Soi-Fong hesitated for a moment after hearing what Yamamoto said, and did not immediately give the order to the execution team. Yamamoto opened one eye and glanced over. Under the pressure of the captain-general, Soi-Fong licked her lips that were a little dry from being burned by the "King of Destruction"...

But at this moment, two ropes suddenly rose into the air and tied the neck of the "King of Destruction"!

----

Note 1: There is some secondary setting here, mainly because the original work praised the "Double Kill" too much in the beginning. Hinamori even believed that Hitsugaya wanted to control the "Double Kill" to rule Soul Society (???)...but was later stopped by Ichigo with one hand!

It would be fine if it was Ichigo in his complete form, but Ichigo at this moment was only narrowly ahead of Byakuya Kuchiki.

In addition, judging from the name, it makes sense to set "King of Destruction" as the "primary form", because the meaning of the word "鷇" is a chick that needs to be fed by its mother - since it is a "chicken", it should naturally have further "adult"...

(End of this chapter)

78. Chapter 78: Bad Learning

78.

Just as Yamamoto ordered to further free the "King of Destruction", two ropes shot up...

Everyone followed the rope and saw that the person driving the magic weapon was not someone else, but Ukitake Jushiro who claimed to be ill!

This special magical weapon is in the shape of a shield with two ropes extending from the back. Engraved on the shield is the family emblem of the Shifengyuan clan.

When she saw the Shihouin clan's family crest, Soi-Fong, who had been hesitant, immediately gave the order, "Prepare for the second stage of release!"
