Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

Yilong was delighted when he heard this and said, "Captain Nie, you are so generous."

Then, seeing that Ichiryu had no intention of leaving, Kurotsuchi Mayuri asked cautiously, "Captain Shifengyuan, do you have anything else to say?"

Yilong showed some distress at this time and said: "It's like this... When Captain Nirvana and Inuko had a misunderstanding, I seemed to feel that there was some frantic... similar to the aura of Hollow in the collision of spiritual pressure. Captain Nirvana, do you have any clues?"

When he heard Yilong bring up the matter with a curious look on his face, Mayuri Kurotsuchi's expression suddenly turned stern.

That's right, there was something wrong with Ichigo's spiritual pressure at that time. Not only Kurotsuchi Mayuri, I'm afraid many of the Shinigami in the nearby area at that time felt it.

If it was just Ichigo's Reiatsu that had a "hollow" aura, it wouldn't be a big deal...

After all, Ichigo is an ordinary human who became a Shinigami. Perhaps he was attacked by a Hollow, or perhaps he did the same thing as Aizen did when he framed other captains. These are all possible situations and it doesn't mean anything.

The most important thing is that Ichigo is not usually stationed in the Soul Society, and is an "outsider" of the Gotei 13 - the 46th Chamber is more taboo about things related to "Hollows", but... Ichigo's affairs will never be uploaded to the 46th Chamber for processing.

Even if Yamamoto knew about this, since Ichigo had helped the Gotei 13 before, the old man would not be so conservative as to make a fuss about it.

At most, they will be more carefully watched and monitored, so that they will not be treated like those Shinigami who were dealt with by Aizen more than a hundred years ago.

But the problem is...

Ichigo is the son of Ichiryuu. Where does his "Hollow Power" come from?

This is not easy to explain for Yilong!

Kurotsuchi Mayuri also understood that Shihouin came for this, but he didn't expect that he could sneak in so quietly.

"I don't know. It's probably just the spiritual pressure going out of control. After all, it's a human who possesses the power of the god of death. There will always be some unexpected things." Kurotsuchi Mayuri managed to say at this time.

If Yilong can't do anything to him, he will definitely use this as a handle to threaten Shifengyuan later, or directly use it to attack Shifengyuan.

But now... Kurotsuchi Mayuri has accepted Shihouin's silent threat and told him that he will keep the secret, but...

"No, before Aizen's rebellion, he used the power of Hollowization to frame several captains and put the blame on Urahara Kisuke. We have to be on guard against this... Captain Kurotsuchi Mayuri, don't you feel any discomfort?" Yilong asked with a dagger in his eye.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri:!!!

Only then did Kurotsuchi Mayuri understand. Ichiryu not only wanted to blame the source of the "Hollow Power" at that time on Aizen, but... he also wanted to say that the "Hollow Power" at that time was emitted by Kurotsuchi Mayuri!

"They are just some small inventions. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Captain Shifengyuan." Kurotsuchi Mayuri said with a gloomy face.

The times are stronger than people. Although Kurotsuchi Mayuri had a gloomy face, he still took a step back - the spiritual pressure and aura were my inventions, so don't worry about whose spiritual pressure has problems!

"It seems that Captain Nirvana himself didn't find anything, but... it's still better to check it out carefully. Captain Yamamoto always teaches us to be cautious by words and deeds." Yilong smiled and had a very good reason - Yamamoto even asked Sister Hua to examine me, so you, Nirvana Mayuri... naturally need to be examined as well.

"Well, I'll ask Captain Unohana to help check it out later, so I won't bother Captain Shifengyuan... Otono, please show me out." Kurotsuchi Mayuri said with a stiff tone.

"No, let me check it first!" Yilong said, taking a step closer to the pool of unknown liquid where Kurotsuchi Mayuri was soaked.

At the same time, Nieyin Meng pushed the ground hard and instantly came in front of Yilong, slashing at Yilong with his palm like a knife.

However, although she was fast, Yilong was faster than her when he got close to her. Nieyinmeng didn't see clearly before Yilong hit her on the forehead with a flick of his finger. She immediately fell backwards as if she had been hit hard. Before she landed on the ground, Yilong didn't even look at her, but just raised two fingers in her direction, and immediately six beams of light clamped her in place!

Originally, Nie Yin Meng wanted to burn his spirit body to break free, but Yi Long immediately said, "Binding Method 61: Six-Staff Light Prison."

Suddenly, the six beams of light became extremely stable. Nie Yin Meng only burned 1% of his spirit body, and it could not be shaken at all.

"Idiot! Do you think you have the right to dispose of your own body? You are not allowed to continue burning!" Kurotsuchi Mayuri scolded - he felt that Nie Yinmeng was constantly "applying" to continue to increase the burning limit.

Generally speaking, there is a technique in [Kido] called "post-chanting", which means first "abandoning the chant" and only saying the name to activate it, and then chanting to increase the power, which is generally applicable to [Bind Way].

but……

Yilong even lost the basic true name and words spirit, and then he restored the true name and words spirit, which shows his attainments in the ghost way.

"Shihouin Ichiryu, do you think that if you silence me here, the fact that you are a hollow won't be exposed?" Kurotsuchi Mayuri calmed down and said confidently.

"No, why would Captain Nirvana have such a misunderstanding? Silencing us... We are comrades of the Gotei 13, aren't we?" Yilong said calmly.

Well, Yilong believed Kurotsuchi Mayuri on this point - it might not be that easy to "silence" someone, and he must have a backup plan.

Whether he can be killed or not is one thing, but even if he is really killed, he must have other arrangements to convey the message.

"And how could I be hollow? Captain Nie must be hallucinating after being injured, right?" Yilong said with regret.

"Haha." In response, Kurotsuchi Mayuri simply sneered - it seemed that he neither fought back nor begged for mercy, which showed that he was fearless.

Yilong was not sure whether this was an "empty city plan" or he was truly "full of confidence", but Yilong had already made up his mind and did not need to confirm.

"Well, no wonder. Maybe... it's because I usually study the ability to confuse the power of the God of Death, so the spiritual pressure has some hollow properties, so Captain Nirvana has this misunderstanding?" Yilong said at this time pretending to be enlightened.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri frowned when he heard this, and realized that Ichiryu was going to tell a story again - he wanted to say that he was not "a [Hollow] disguised as a [Death God]", but that "the [Death God] mastered the power of Hollow"?

"Oh? Did you research it? Could it be the effect of [Hougyoku]? Haha, those idiots who were framed by [Hougyoku] back then should also be executed." Kurotsuchi Mayuri said with a hint of threat.

"Of course it's different. Regarding this research... I would like to ask Captain Nie for his advice." Yilong said as he continued to approach.

"Wait, what do you want to do?" Kurotsuchi Mayuri became nervous at this time. He originally thought that the situation in Shihouin must have been caused by the [Hougyoku], and the [Hougyoku] could not be here in Shihouin. However, after hearing what Shihouin said, he also became nervous.

2023-09-19

Before Ichiryu came to Soul Society, the Gotei 13 had undergone a major personnel change, not only Yoruichi from the 2nd Division and Urahara Kisuke from the 12th Division...

Instead, several captains, deputy captains, and even the chief and deputy ghost masters were exiled not long ago!

This "exile" is also an excuse given by the Forty-Sixth Chamber to excuse itself. In fact, several captains, vice-captains, and the deputy demon chief were all hollowed out by Aizen, and the blame was put on Urahara Kisuke.

Therefore, Urahara Kisuke and Murei Tessai, who helped the eight hollowed-out captains and vice-captains regain consciousness, were sentenced as criminals by the Forty-Sixth Chamber - the demon chief Murei Tessai was sentenced to imprisonment, and Urahara Kisuke was sentenced to deprivation of his spiritual power and exile to the world...

If it is said that this is because Aizen's frame-up was very clever and the Forty-Sixth Chamber simply fell into the trap foolishly, then... the judgment on the eight Hollowed Shinigami is the attitude of the Forty-Sixth Chamber itself - since they have already been "Hollowed", unfortunately, they should be treated as "Hollows", and the Forty-Sixth Chamber is prepared to directly render them all harmless.

Fortunately, Yoruichi, who knew the nobles well, was well prepared. She broke into the underground council hall directly, rescued Urahara Kisuke and Gampyō Tessai, and transferred eight hollowed-out captain-level Shinigami in advance.

The group fled to the real world...

Even after Aizen clearly rebelled and the truth of that year came to light, these ten people were not recalled. Only Yoruichi and Urahara had their wanted notices cancelled. The other nine were still theoretically "fugitives."

Although they were undoubtedly "victims" no matter whether they were framed by Aizen or Urahara, the 46th Chamber claims to be noble and cannot tolerate these "aliens" who are lackeys.

Of course, part of the reason is that Aizen's experimental subjects were selected very carefully. They were all civilian Shinigami. Directly executing them was also a great suppression of this new class of civilian Shinigami.

For Room 46, there are sufficient motives for personal feelings and perverse logic.

Even until twenty years ago, Aizen had done something like this - at that time, a hollowed experimental subject caused Shiba Isshin to become a hollow. Afterwards, Shiba Isshin disappeared and it is very likely that he was in contact with Urahara and the others.

Likewise, Kurotsuchi Mayuri now understands that even if it is proven that Kurosaki Ichigo's spiritual pressure contains the "power of hollowness", it will not be a big deal. At most, he will be banned from entering the Soul Society again. However... if it can be proved that this "power of hollowness" comes from his father, Shihouin Ichiryu, then that would be of a different nature.

Even if it's because Ichiryu is a great noble and the head of the Shihouin family, he will definitely be kicked out of the Gotei 13 at least!

Unfortunately, before Mayuri Kurotsuchi could get the best opportunity to threaten or expose Shihōin Ichiryū, Shihōin sneaked into the place where he was recovering when he was at his weakest.

And even though he had made a promise, Shifengyuan did not accept it. It seemed... he had other plans!

"Wait, what do you want to do? Do you want to discuss science? I've always felt that Captain Shifengin and I get along very well. We are different from those guys who have muscles for brains. Many things are actually..." Kurotsuchi Mayuri had a bad feeling.

He was not even afraid that Yilong would kill him directly, because every drop of this green liquid could be cultivated into a complete "self", and he could be resurrected through [Meat Foam Phase 2], but...

"Compared to Hollows and ordinary beings, Shinigami are the maintainers of balance. Their duty is to maintain the balance between the Hollows, Rukongai, and the human beings in the world. However...if you think about it carefully, there is actually no place for Shinigami in this balance. So...could it be that Shinigami themselves are not what the world needs?

"Or, could it be that the Shinigami is just a tool, rather than an independent life form? Compared to the Quincy, the Shinigami are only a fine line apart from the Hollows. Could it be that the Shinigami... is just a specialized Hollow?"

Ichiryū walked towards Kurotsuchi Mayuri while saying "this is treasonous".

Seeing the increasingly perverted expression on Yilong's face, Kurotsuchi Mayuri began to feel uneasy.

"That's a good idea. Maybe we can find a better time and a better place to have a good talk." Kurotsuchi Mayuri stepped back in the pool.

When he moved, it could be seen that the part of him under the green liquid was still missing skin and flesh, and obviously had not fully recovered, so he could not leave.

"No, Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi is in just the right condition now. Why don't we experience it firsthand..." Yilong pressed on.

Pushing Mayuri Kurotsuchi to the edge.

Yilong had already stepped into the pool at this time. Although this liquid had the power to corrode and even decompose the spirits of ordinary death gods, it naturally had no effect on Yilong.

In comparison, Kurotsuchi Mayuri was like a little girl being forced to take a bath together by a bully...

I saw Yilong stretched out a hand to Kurotsuchi Mayuri, and Kurotsuchi Mayuri's eyes became fierce... The part above the chest that had recovered began to melt again!

He was obviously worried that Yilong might do something and wanted to avoid it.

But Yilong continued: "Yes, this is just right. The body is being reshaped, but the consciousness is still free."

"It's useless! In the state of [Flesh Foam], any attack or ghost method, toxins, spirit particle erosion... have no effect on me!" Kurotsuchi Mayuri's voice came from the pool.

The sticky green liquid in the pool was also churning at this time, as if it was sweeping over and wrapping Yilong.

However, Yilong said calmly: "Is this inspired by the Nirvana Pool in Hell? Very creative, but I won't do anything to Captain Nirvana. I just want Captain Nirvana to see the real world..."

The next moment, green liquid suddenly wrapped around the dragon!

Obviously in this state, at least in his own recovery pool, Kurotsuchi Mayuri still has the means to restrict the enemy and is not completely powerless to fight back.

Yilong didn't seem to resist and was directly wrapped up, but...

Yilong's voice did not stop!

"The body is the prison of the mind, the world is the prison of the body, madness is bound, desire is suppressed... To obtain absolute freedom of will, one must break the cage... Indulge desires, maintain reason, and step into madness."

As the dragon pointed, the green liquid in the pool began to twist, sometimes expanding to form shapes of human bodies or virtual monsters, and sometimes bursting apart...

It was extremely difficult for Lin to spread the method of the Hollow's [Arrancar] in the Hueco Mundo. After all, Lin could not force other Hollows to understand what it meant to "tame the external beasts."

but……

If it is the other way around, it would be much easier for the god of death to transform into the "power of emptiness", that is, to form a [mask]!

If we understand it superficially, to turn disorder into order, the Hollow needs to comprehend it himself, while to turn order into disorder, external force can also do it - of course, this so-called external force is different from [Beng Yu]. No matter what the situation is, Yilong did not inject any external power into other Hollows or Death Gods.

As for a deeper understanding, Yilong couldn't explain it in detail. It was indeed because of this that Yilong really believed that the God of Death might just be an alienated void, and not a naturally formed and necessary thing...

The same is true in the world balance theory. Xu only needs to balance with "Whole" and "Humanity". As for whether "Whole" will become the God of Death, there is no essential change. In other words, the "God of Death" does not exist in the balance as an independent "creature", but only calls itself the "maintainer of balance."

If Yilong wants to directly "disrupt" other Shinigami, or Shinigami in other states, he still needs to spend some effort, but...

When Mayuri Kurotsuchi was in the state of [Flesh Froth], his body completely disappeared, creating great convenience for Ichiryu!

The last time Niejian used [Meat Foam] to escape from Yilong, Yilong noticed this and verified it repeatedly afterwards!

Therefore, if you use a life-saving method a second time, the risk will greatly increase...

2023-09-19

In the 12th Division, in Mayuri Kurotsuchi's Nirvana Pool, the green viscous liquid kept twisting, expanding, and exploding...

Until there was not a drop left in the pool, and the surrounding walls were covered with green liquid that was wriggling from time to time.

In general, it seemed to have stabilized at this time, and it was flowing down and trying to gather together. However, occasionally a stream of green liquid would explode and splash everywhere.

"It seems to have stabilized... Well, Captain Nirvana, I noticed that your spiritual pressure has some signs of becoming a Hollow, but if the sages and judges of the 46th Chamber directly treat you as a Hollow and render you harmless, I can't bear it, so I won't report it.

"But Captain Kuroshio Mayuri, you'd better be careful from now on. After all, not everyone is as kind as me... I hope Captain Kuroshio can overcome the problem of becoming a Hollow soon. Fortunately, Captain Kuroshio Mayuri usually wears a mask, so he shouldn't be exposed before this. I wish you good luck."

After Yilong finished speaking, he waved the sleeve of his "Death Costume" and Nie Yinmeng who was trapped next to him was released.

"Ms. Niemeng, do you want to go to the meeting together?" Yilong knew that Kurotsuchi Mayuri must be on "sick leave".

Nie Yinmeng looked at Yilong coldly at this time, and still maintained his stance, as if he still wanted to fight.

However, the green liquid in the room seemed to be communicating something with Nie Yin Meng. Nie Yin Meng was slightly stunned, put away his posture, and softened his eyes as much as possible. He returned to his usual polite appearance, bowed slightly to Yi Long and said, "It's my honor."

Then, Nie Yinmeng followed Yilong and left the "Technology Development Bureau" directly.

……

As for whether Nie Yin Meng would say something nonsense when he took over the meeting on behalf of Kurotsuchi Mayuri...

As a sunny and cheerful person, Ichiryu trusts others very much. He believes that even if Kurotsuchi Mayuri, that pervert, is spared by Ichiryu, he will return the favor and will not say anything about Ichigo's "Hollow Power". He may even cover up the previous situation.

Otherwise, Ichigo's spiritual pressure only has the nature of "hollowification power", but Kurotsuchi Mayuri actually has the phenomenon of "hollowification"!

Yilong has confirmed that he has really become "virtualized" irreversibly. Even if he dies and is resurrected through some means, he will still be "virtual".
