Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

puff!

All the ice crystals on Hitsugaya's body shattered, and he was "knocked" out of the state of [Bankai].

That’s right, Yilong is much longer than he expected…

However, the "Ice Flower" that was like a floating cannon was not damaged at all - although in this case, even if the restrictions were lifted, he would only be more seriously injured, but... Yilong was a kind-hearted person.

Some people say that what Yilong lacks and what Yhwach cannot make up for is "virtue", but Yilong will never admit this.

At the same time, in this extreme spiritual pressure output, Hitsugaya suddenly couldn't maintain his [Bankai], and he vomited blood and fell to the ground due to the backlash...

Rangiku went over and caught him, so he didn't fall face first.

"Are you an idiot?" Rangiku yelled angrily.

Rangiku rarely... no, never has this attitude towards Hitsugaya. From the moment she discovered Hitsugaya, this "genius", Rangiku initially treated him half as a younger brother and half as a favor to others. But after Hitsugaya grew mature... Rangiku started to let him do what he wanted. She can be said to be the only vice-captain in the Gotei 13 who can "do things as the captain" and slack off every day, which makes the other vice-captains proud.

However, this time Hitsugaya's impulsiveness made Rangiku unable to help but scold him.

but……

"Sorry..." Hitsugaya only had time to apologize before he fainted.

Weihuohu and Fangrito were approaching at this time. Rangiku waved the hilt of the sword, controlling the dust blade to float around and protect her body, while looking at the two of them warily.

"Captain Hitsugaya attempted a prison break, so we took him into custody as a matter of routine..." said Ohuo Tiger while swinging his meteor hammer [Nanli].

However, Yilong slowly came down and said, "Forget it. Considering that Captain Hitsugaya is young and ignorant, our team will not bother with him this time."

"Captain, you are so magnanimous!" Weihuohu said immediately.

"It's just... even if I don't bother with him, Captain Hitsugaya will have to give an explanation to both Captain Yamamoto and the 46th Chamber for what happened just now. Vice Captain Matsumoto must be prepared." Yilong kindly reminded.

At the beginning, Yilong promised Gin Ichimaru that he would "take care of" Rangiku Matsumoto after he left. Since Gin Ichimaru had completed the "task", Yilong naturally kept his promise and did not make things difficult for her.

As for Hitsugaya...

After that, there were many people who "troubled" him, and he wouldn't make any difference if he was the only one!

The momentum that had just depleted the very foundation of Soul Society was much greater than the detectable range of a normal spiritual pressure explosion. In the entire Soul Society, any Shinigami with a certain level of skill could sense it...

The fact that he secretly performed Bankai in Soul Society was enough to warrant a long period of confinement, not to mention that he "intended to destroy Soul Society" - well, even one ten-thousandth of it being destroyed is still destruction, right?

150. Chapter 150: Kurotsuchi Mayuri in the Shadows

150.

2023-09-18

Soul Society, Seireitei.

Ichigo followed the traces along the way, determined to meet Randao - Ichigo couldn't fully believe what either side said, and prepared to verify it himself!

At the same time, in the 12th Division's barracks, also known as the Technical Development Bureau, Kurotsuchi Mayuri repeatedly watched the battle between Hitsugaya and Shifengyuan...

That's right, Kurotsuchi Mayuri placed "surveillance bacteria" on Hitsugaya - a means of surveillance that is extremely difficult to detect!

The main means of hiding is to be tiny and biological, with no spiritual pressure reaction. The limitation is that it must be attached to the host and cannot exist effectively in the environment.

In fact, when Mayuri Kurotsuchi fought with Ichiryu last time, he also tried to use surveillance bacteria - this is his habit, and he will use it on every opponent, so that even if he fails to win on the spot or kill the opponent, he can still observe him afterwards.

Unfortunately, Yilong's [Fatian Hexagonal Column]'s spiritual particle manipulation left the "surveillance bacteria" with no place to hide.

Yilong's powerful lepton-level microscopic operations are undoubtedly the nemesis of "small" things like "surveillance bacteria".

Mayuri Kurotsuchi also made a concession. When he learned that Hitsugaya was coming to confront Ichiryu, he quietly planted "surveillance bacteria" on Hitsugaya...

Although the "surveillance bacteria" were unable to survive and quickly died when Hitsugaya finally sought to "break the boundary" on a small scale, the battle process before that was completely recorded.

The reason why Ichiryu decided to use Bankai was because of the vague feeling of being monitored.

The data sent back by the "monitoring bacteria" is not only the "visual effects", but also includes data such as the changes in the surrounding environment's lepton.

It's just that after all, it's not directly parasitic on Shifengyuan, so it's impossible to see his own changes.

Similarly, Ichiryu was unable to discover that Hitsugaya had "surveillance bacteria" on him - because he would not let the spirits controlled by Ichiryu get close to him...

"Interesting, this guy Shifengyuan is really good at hiding his spiritual pressure... Analyzing from the reaction of his spiritual pressure when he uses Bankai, the probability of hiding his spiritual pressure is over 82.95%. The working mode of Bankai is still unclear for the time being, and it is suspected that it can cause the collapse of other abilities." Kurotsuchi Mayuri looked at the data on the screen with a perverted expression.

Akin, the deputy researcher standing nearby, couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the director's expression. He understood that the director was targeting Shifengyuan - in his opinion, among the captains, Shifengyuan was also one of the most difficult to mess with.

Originally it was about personality, but now...

Judging from the limited information sent back by the "surveillance bacteria", its strength is the same!

This time, not only did we see the [Bankai] that he had always claimed he "didn't have", but from the analysis of existing data, it has basically been confirmed that Shihouin Ichiryu has hidden spiritual pressure.

If Yilong saw this scene, he would probably also admire that "technical ability" is indeed useful...

However, although the "hidden spiritual pressure" was discovered, it did not go beyond Yilong's expectations overall - the "person observing in secret" was unable to discover the true ability of the [Throne of the Sky] and was even vaguely misled.

"Captain, this effect of rendering the opponent's abilities ineffective... is it an extension of [Deterrence]?" Akon speculated at this time.

Although Akon is not the vice-captain and is only the third seat of the 12th Division, he is Kurotsuchi Mayuri's real "deputy" and the deputy director of the Technical Development Bureau. He has three short horns on his head like the legendary devil, but in fact they are just decorations. He always frowns. Like Kurotsuchi Mayuri, he is a dangerous person who came out of the [Maggot Nest].

Since I'm always with Kurotsuchi Mayuri, so...

Ajin hardly gives off the feeling of a dangerous person from the [Maggot Nest], but instead he is portrayed as a good guy.

"No, the current data is unable to prove that. So don't make any preconceived decisions based on what this guy said," Kurotsuchi Mayuri corrected seriously.

"Yes!" Ajin responded solemnly.

Most of the researchers in the Technical Development Bureau admire Mayuri Kurotsuchi very much. They are different from the Shinigami who are merely serving in the 12th Division - the latter are completely treated as consumables.

After all, they were all "researchers" hired by Mayuri Kurotsuchi, and their attitudes towards the experimental subjects were pretty much the same...

"But Chief...if what Captain Shihouin said is true, and Kurosaki Ichigo is really his son, and his mother is a Quincy, then the previous process of proving that he is a Hollow may be difficult..." Akon said with some hesitation at this time.

"Yes, it's really interesting." Kurotsuchi Mayuri also noticed this.

Ajin was stunned when he heard this. He noticed that the director said "interesting". It was obvious that he had no intention of giving up, but felt that it was more challenging.

When Hitsugaya heard Ichiryu say this, he just thought that Ichiryu wanted to say "How could a Quincy be combined with a Hollow?", a purely emotional reason.

However, Mayuri and Akon, who had conducted a series of experiments using Ishida Sogen's soul, understood the weight behind these words...

The essence of the Quincy's power is completely opposite to that of "Hollow"!

For both parties, the other party's power is "extremely poisonous". It is not a question of willingness or not, but in actual operation, it is impossible for the two to combine, let alone have children - at least from the information previously obtained, it is impossible to do so on a technical level. After all, the Technology Development Bureau has never seen Yilong's level of spiritual transformation.

only……

Judging from Kurotsuchi Mayuri's look, he still hasn't completely given up on this possibility.

"But... judging from the soul of that pure-blooded Quincy back then..." Akon still couldn't understand.

"No, that guy's soul at that time couldn't explain everything. It was incomplete. It's a pity that the Quincy who came before was not only too weak, but also not pure-blooded." Kurotsuchi Mayuri said regretfully.

He deliberately set up a trap to kill Ishida Sogen and captured his soul, but...

Although there was no definite evidence, his intuition as a scientist told him that the soul of the experimental subject was defective!

However, the Ishida Uryuu that Kurotsuchi had met before was too weak. He didn't even know how to use the "Calm Blood Suit", which led to Kurotsuchi Mayuri's misjudgment.

"What a pity. For some reason, the souls of non-pure-blooded Quincy won't appear even if they die... and Ichigo Kurosaki's mother shouldn't be a pure-blooded Quincy either, otherwise it would be impossible for Ichigo Kurosaki to have no Quincy power at all and even become a Shinigami." Akon also sighed with regret at this time, saying that the pure-blooded Quincy should have become extinct.

That’s right, the spirit of a Quincy is undoubtedly a rare material, unlike a Fullbringer…

If one wants to obtain the "Quincy spirit" as experimental material, one either needs to transform the other party into a weapon spirit while the other party is still alive and then capture it directly, or the Quincy must be a pure-blooded Quincy so that its soul can enter Soul Society after death. Ordinary Quincies have no souls after death.

If they could get access to confidential information about Yhwach, they would understand...

Those non-pure-blooded Quincies were created by the power separated from Youhabach, and after death, everything will belong to Youhabach!

The pure-blooded Quincy is a bloodline that runs parallel to that of Yhwach...

Not many people in the "Gold Seal Noble Council" knew about this, and only a very small number of ancient nobles, including the four great nobles, and the Shiba family who were expelled from the nobility, had records of it.

Yhwach can indeed be said to be the ancestor of the Quincy, but he is not the first Quincy. He can only be said to be one of the pure-blooded Quincy bloodlines...

However, if there were no Yhwach, the so-called "Quincy" would only be a few big and small cats.

It was the power of Yhwach that made the "Quincy" as popular as the "Grim Reaper".

In other words, the source of power for all non-pure-blooded Quincy is Yhwach.

There are only a very small number of pure-blooded Quincies who are not creations of Youhabach. Unless they are granted additional power by Youhabach, they will not be absorbed by Youhabach after death.

When Mayuri Kuroshige heard Akon's inference, he rolled his eyes and said, "Kurosaki Ichigo's mother?... It's not impossible. Let's go check on him again!"

"Ah? Chief, he is already the agent of the god of death..." Upon hearing this, Ajin hurriedly reminded.

If it was an ordinary god of death, it would be possible to find a reason to use it for experiments, but...

"Death God Agent" sounds like just "agent", as if there is not even a Death God organization, but the one who issued this qualification is Ukitake Jushiro!

Akin understood what Shihouin Ichiryu said. They were already enemies before, so there was no point in saying more. However, it would not be a wise move to offend Ukitake again.

Even with Kuroshio Mayuri's personality, he would definitely not hesitate to offend Ukitake for the sake of "science" and there is no need to persuade him any more. However...after all, he has nothing to lose now, and it would be unwise to offend Ukitake "for no reason".

"Ah my, Akon, what are you talking about? I'm not a devil. Don't act like I'm going to do something to the lovely Ichigo-kun." Kurotsuchi Mayuri laughed strangely twice.

Akin: ...

Akin also knew that if the director had really made up his mind, it would be useless for him to persuade him.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri muttered, "No Quincy abilities at all? Really... I don't believe it."

When the fierce battle took place at the "Double Killing Hill" before, although Kurotsuchi Mayuri was not present due to serious injuries, he was able to see Ichigo's [Bankai] through other means.

Now that Kurotsuchi Mayuri thinks about it, Ichigo's appearance at that time was slightly similar to the power of the pure-blooded Quincy back then.

Unfortunately… the soul of that pure-blooded Quincy was greatly damaged, and he had not seen Ichigo's power with his own eyes, so he could only say that it "looked familiar".

So Kurotsuchi Mayuri decided to verify it again...

Half a day later, Ichiryū, who killed Hitsugaya in seconds, felt Kurotsuchi Mayuri's presence after scolding the unfilial son for a long time - not from his side, but... through Ichigo's "proxy certificate"!

Mayuri Kurotsuchi was unable to leave "surveillance bacteria" on Ichiryuu, and he didn't know that Ichiryuu had left a "mark of guilt" on him using the [Hokten Hexagonal Column]. The only effect was that it was easier to detect his approach...

Yilong's mouth gradually blossomed at this time: "It really is this guy..."

That's right, when Ichryu mentioned "the child of the Quincy and I" before, it was not a mistake, but a deliberate test to see if the person monitoring the battlefield was Kurotsuchi Mayuri - someone who could make Ichryu feel that he was being watched, but at the same time he could not sense any suspicious spiritual pressure around him... In Ichryu's opinion, it was most likely Kurotsuchi Mayuri.

If it were him, after hearing this, he would probably want to go find Ichigo to verify it.

And if Mayuri Kurotsuchi leaves the R&D department...

The [Purification Chapter] in the basement of the Technology Development Bureau is about to be lost!

Although Lan Dao refused to say anything, the Invisible Empire gave Yilong a dozen coordinates - all of which were the locations of the [Purification Chapter]. Because the [Purification Chapter] directly communicated with the power outside the Three Realms, the "Invisible Empire" that overlapped with the "Seireitei" would also be affected and its coordinates would be discovered...

One of them is at the original site of the Seireitei Research Institute, which is now the "Technical Development Bureau", but Kurotsuchi Mayuri himself doesn't seem to know about it!

2023-09-18

Jiao Mu Jiao, who was wearing a dragon mask, and Kang Jin Long, who was wearing a dragon mask, were responsible for escorting Lan Dao to transfer. The result was...

Lan Dao fell asleep on the way, and Kakui Jiao had to carry him on his back. His movement speed was greatly affected, and he was helplessly caught up by Ichigo.

In fact, what the two of them didn’t know was that Lan Dao was pretending to be asleep at this time - although she needed a lot of sleep and might even fall asleep suddenly, in fact, if she wanted to overcome it, she could still stay awake for the time being!

Because of her sleepiness, Jiao Mu Jiao and Kang Jin Long also relaxed their vigilance, and she left behind spiritual pressure lines along the way...

Shifengyuan suddenly wanted to transfer it, which made Randao guess that there were probably other death gods who wanted to consult him about something!

"Young Master, please don't make things difficult for us, okay?" Kadokami Jiao looked at Ichigo and said helplessly.

Lan Dao was also confused at this time - does this person who caught up have any relationship with Shifengyuan, or is he... a Seireitei noble nicknamed "Big Master"?

"What young master? Is that Randao you are carrying? Put her down." Ichigo said unhappily.

Ichigo still hadn't come to terms with the matter of the 'eldest son' and was feeling anxious and indignant.

I was worried because I was worried that my dad was really the "mastermind" and I was indignant because...if he wasn't, why didn't he explain it clearly? Did he have to be a riddler there?
