Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

Ichiryu estimated that it wouldn't take long for Kurotsuchi Mayuri to master the technique of [Masking] - that is, to turn the power of "Hollowness" into falsehood so that he would not be affected too much under normal circumstances.

If Mayuri Kurotsuchi was a combat talent, then Ichiryu's actions would really help him. After all, although this behavior of breaking the boundary between "Hollow" and "Death God" did not have the expected "complete version of [Henggyoku]" that could allow people to truly reach the boundary-breaking level, it would also reduce the bottleneck before reaching the "extreme"...

On Aizen's Kyonyaku, their collective strength increased after the formation of the [Arrancar].

If it were a power-hungry "God of Death", he would probably hope that Professor Yilong could become a virtual being - of course, that is, ignoring the "Persecution of Chamber 46", and whether he could learn it or not is another matter.

After all, this is different from the creation of [Broken Jade]. The power that belongs to oneself has been extended...

However, for a scientific research talent like Mayuri Kurotsuchi who uses his brain, virtualization does more harm than good.

After becoming an Arrancar, the Hollow is more likely to calm down, which is actually a distortion of their own temperament. Brutalists like Nnoitra may even be dissatisfied with this "calmness" and deliberately stimulate their own violence.

Similarly, after becoming hollow and transforming into a [Masked] Grim Reaper, its temperament will also be affected.

Moreover, the improvement of Kurotsuchi Mayuri's strength is basically determined by his technological transformation capabilities, rather than the general training process.

Then Yilong and Nie Yinmeng rushed to the headquarters for a meeting...

As soon as he entered the conference room, Yilong discovered that he and Nie Yinmeng were the last to arrive.

The captains present looked at Nie Yin Meng who came in. It was normal for Shi Feng Yuan to arrive at this time, but Nie Yin Meng...

Although the 9th Division's barracks are relatively remote in Soul Society, several captains, including Zaraki, had sensed the battle between Kurotsuchi Mayuri and Kurosaki Ichigo.

Seeing that it was Nie Yin Meng's agent, he basically understood in his heart that Kurotsuchi Mayuri had "knelt" again...

However... Nie Yin Meng actually came with Yilong, which was a little beyond everyone's expectations.

The captain did not come here, and the vice-captain was also here. The 10th Division, which is the patrol unit, was also here. Hitsugaya Toushirou was also sick, so Matsumoto Rangiku was here to take his place.

After Yilong and Nie Yin had their dreams, the captain soon took the first seat...

The old man was so angry that he even came in with his eyes open!

As soon as Yamamoto sat down, Yilong took the initiative to apologize and said, "Captain, I was a little too aggressive in my previous competition with Captain Hitsugaya and performed Bankai without permission. I hope the captain will forgive me."

"Is this Haihan's question? You idiots have more than just Bankai, right?" Yamamoto scolded as soon as he came up.

That’s right, compared to what Kyōraku informed the old man about the Soul Hunter Travel Disaster, what stimulated Yamamoto more was the battle between Hitsugaya and Shihouin... or to be more precise, Hitsugaya’s final behavior of imitating Kohaku!

This has nothing to do with the perception range of spiritual pressure. As long as a Shinigami above the captain level is in Soul Society, he can sense a little bit of the essence of Soul Society and be affected by ice - only Hitsugaya can do this.

Yamamoto was very angry...

Yamamoto, who can unleash similar power with just a wave of his hand and move, and whose impact reaches the entire Soul Society, understands this power best and must be careful when using it.

Hitsugaya's spiritual pressure level is only a third-level spiritual power, but he deliberately pursues this effect...

This made Yamamoto, who wanted to train Hitsugaya as his successor, very angry.

Seeing this, Matsumoto Rangiku immediately stood up and accepted Yamamoto's reprimand on behalf of the captain.

"Captain Hitsugaya is still young after all... But don't worry, Captain-General, I immediately stopped Captain Hitsugaya's impulsive behavior, and the Soul Society should not have been damaged." Ichiryu said in a tone of "I'm doing this for Hitsugaya's own good," as if he was fighting only to stop Hitsugaya.

Rangiku was so angry that the car lights were flashing, but it was difficult for her to refute at this time.

"So...what were you doing at that time?" Yamamoto glared at Yilong at this time, and his stern eyes warned him not to say nonsense like "competition and exchange of ideas".

"It's like this, Captain Hitsugaya must want to visit the exiled prisoner Ranjima, so..." Ichiryuu pretended to be distressed.

Rangiku saw an opportunity and couldn't help interrupting, "Captain! Lan Dao was the person in charge of the Soul Hunting experiment. We have important clues. There are still more than a dozen [Purification Seal] that caused the explosion hidden in the Soul Society, but Captain Shifengyuan stopped us from questioning him!"

"Yeah, why is this? Captain Shifengyuan?" Tianbei asked puzzledly at this time.

Hearing that it was Amei who spoke, Rangiku was stunned, and Kyoraku also looked thoughtful - everyone knew that Amei was Ichiryu's "other microphone", so how could he possibly attack Ichiryu?

"About this...actually the captain knows." Yilong said, looking at the captain with a smile on his face.

Old man Yamamoto stared at Yilong for a few seconds, then looked at his favorite student Kyoraku and said viciously: "Captain Shifengyuan has already reported this matter to the Forty-Sixth Chamber... including the location of the nineteen [Purification Seals]!"

Kyoraku was also shocked when he heard this - why? How could he know? Randao didn't tell him...

and……

Kyōraku is confused again about what Shihōin Ichiryu's purpose is!

Could it be...

Kyoraku suddenly revealed a sharp look - could it be... that there is a conspiracy by Tsunayashiro Tokinada behind this?

Old man Yamamoto is also helpless...

Just half a day ago, Kyoraku informed me about the matter of Lan Dao and the [Pure World Chapter] as if he was presenting a treasure, and as a result... Room 46 asked me to go there, and it was the same thing!

Moreover, it was Shifengyuan Yilong who reported to the Forty-Sixth Chamber. In other words, the various claims that "Shifengyuan harbored evil intentions" and "deliberately concealed the news about Landao and the [Pure Realm Chapter]" were simply not true.

On the contrary, it was Kyōraku, Hitsugaya and the others who were arguing with Shihouin over this, which was unreasonable...

"So... Captain Kyoraku, what was your purpose in instructing Captain Ukitake to order the Shinigami to rescue the prisoners?" Soi-Fong asked directly.

Ichiryu won't directly blame Ichigo, but... Soi-Fong doesn't care about that!

"Young people might be a little impulsive." Kyoraku acted like a good old man, as if he was still defending Ichigo.

But even though he brought up Ichigo, Soi-Fong still said, "No, now I'm not asking about the young man, but about you and Ukitake."

"And Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi, what's going on? Why did he clash with the Shinigami agent who was assisting in capturing Ryota? This also directly led to the [Purification Seal] in the basement of the Technology Development Bureau being taken away, causing the threat of Ryota to increase greatly!" Amagai also followed suit and accused.

Before learning the real reason for the explosion of the [Purification Chapter], Yilong did think about detonating one or two of them...

But now Yilong has understood that since the "Invisible Empire" is already prepared and the space is very stable, the [Purification Chapter] will not be detonated by resonance at all. Even if it is forcibly detonated by other means, the power will be limited, far from the level of directly destroying one-tenth of the Soul Society like it did back then.

At the same time, Yilong also has to avoid the resonance of these [Purification Chapter] - blowing them up in other ways is a small problem, but once resonance occurs and ripples in the space of Soul Society are set off, the "Invisible Empire" may be discovered.

These led to a complete change in Yilong’s purpose and layout!

In addition, the "Invisible Empire" provided the coordinates, and Yilong had already reported it to the 46th Chamber in the name of "Lan Dao Confession"...

"Ahem... It's true that Kyoraku and I were rude, but since Captain Shifeng already knows about the [Purification Chapter], let's first discuss... ahem... the seal of the [Purification Chapter] and the emergency evacuation arrangements in case of an emergency." Ukitake said while coughing.

It's not really a change of topic, after all, Fuzhu is really worried about the [Purification Chapter].

In their opinion, the remaining eighteen [Purification Seals] are enough to blow Soul Society up to the sky, so prevention and early warning are what they need to do now.

"That's not necessary. My suggestion is to take out the remaining 18 pieces right now... Although the experiment on Lan Dao caused an explosion, the cause is still unknown. Captain Nirvana has also concluded that the [Purification Seal] simply cannot be that powerful. In response to Captain Ukitake's concerns, I suggest taking out the [Purification Seal] and destroying them all."

Yilong retorted calmly.

Ukitake and Kyōraku were stunned when they heard this, and then they understood Shihōin's intention!

It turned out that he knew that Lan Island would be found sooner or later, so he took the initiative to report it, but deliberately underestimated its danger?

That’s right, this is the point in the report that Ichiryu gave to Room 46, which has the biggest contrast with the information that Randao provided to Kyōraku and others - Ichiryu told Room 46 that "it’s not a big problem" and "keep playing the music and dancing."

However, Kyoraku still had some doubts in his heart...

First, how did Shifengyuan know the location of the [Pure Realm Chapter]?

Kyoraku didn't think that Randao was lying, and Shihouin probably didn't know it from Randao.

Secondly, what was Shifengyuan's purpose in misleading the Forty-Sixth Room at this time?

Previously, Kyoraku suspected that Shihouin wanted to push the "Soul Hunter" to attack the Soul Society and hide the truth of the Randao experiment in order to let the old man take the blame.

However, now that the matter of the [Purification Chapter] has been exposed, if huge losses are caused by Shifengyuan's wrong advice, then his responsibility will be greater than that of the old man Yama - Kyoraku does not think that Shifengyuan wants to "die together", otherwise the current suggestion should be said by Amabei.

And what about Kurotsuchi Mayuri? Seeing that Nirvana did not refute it at this time, it was obvious that the 12th Division really agreed with Shifengyuan's words.

Could it be that this guy Shifengyuan would rather be punished than want to blow up someone or something?

Could it be... that it was Tsunayashiro Tokinada who deceived Shihouin and gave him wrong information?

"Is that so? Since Captain Shifengyuan said so, then..." Old man Yamamoto lowered his eyes and looked at Shifengyuan Ichiryu provocatively.

But just in the middle of his words, Kyoraku couldn't help but interrupt: "Captain Yama... Captain-General, um... I think it's better to be cautious."

Kyoraku suspected that the old man was irritated by the guys from Shifengyuan and the 46th Chamber, and was ready to follow his words and blow up the Soul Society...

Fortunately, after being interrupted by his favorite student, Yamamoto closed his eyes again, and then said calmly: "Well, let's seal it first." Yamamoto faintly "tsk" sounded, as if he regretted not blowing up Soul Society and then hanging up Shihouin Ichiryu as the culprit and beating him.

Kyoraku was becoming increasingly speechless towards Shifengyuan - you're almost making the old man angry and return to the state he was in a thousand years ago!

Do you really want to see the revival of the "Demon Beast" that can truly destroy Soul Society?

Seeing that the old man had calmed down, Kyōraku immediately took out the information and said to everyone, "These places are where the [Purification Chapter] is hidden in the Soul Society... After consulting with the Kidōshi, this is the technique that will be used to seal the [Purification Chapter] in the future. As long as this technique is maintained, there is no need to worry that the Traveling Beast will use resonance to cause the [Purification Chapter] to explode."

Kyōraku then hurriedly explained on his behalf - because he noticed that old man Yama was in a bad mood, in order to prevent the teacher from really getting angry, Kyōraku changed his usual laziness today, but he didn't notice that... Yamamoto's mouth trembled slightly at this time, as if he had found a good way to "use" Kyōraku.

Sure enough, Kyōraku can still come in handy at times like this!

In Yamamoto's heart, if Hitsugaya fails to truly grow up before he dies, Kyōraku will be the next captain. If Hitsugaya is still unable to take on the responsibility before Kyōraku takes over, Kuchiki will be the next captain.

(Kuchiki is the next captain-general, which was said by Kyoraku to Mayuri Kurotsuchi in the official novel. When the expedition against Tsunayashiro was launched, Kuchiki was also arranged to stay at home.)

They are the candidates among the current captains that Yamamoto thinks are capable of taking on the important task - Ukitake is actually capable enough, but his body can't handle it.

"Is this a ritual that requires the Ghost Path Clan to continue performing? In other words, there must be enough power to guard these places, right?" Soi-Fong asked after reading the information in her hand.

The "Secret Mobile Team" and the "Kidoshu" often have joint operations. Now that the position of "Kidoshu Chief" is vacant, Soi-Fong often serves as the temporary commander of the "Kidoshu" - for example, when the [Double Execution] was unsealed, it was Soi-Fong who presided over it.

At this time, Soi-Fong also saw the key at a glance.

"Captain Soi-Fong is right, so... we will need the cooperation of all the captains and some lieutenants to guard the place. This is the arrangement I have made. If you have no objection, please convey it to the lieutenants mentioned above in time, and all of them must arrive at the guarding place within twelve hours."

Kyoraku said as he flipped a switch and an image of a map of Seireitei suddenly appeared on the table.

Eighteen points were marked on the map, and then everyone's Q-version avatars appeared one by one on it...

Obviously Kyoraku has been preparing for this for a long time!

Under normal circumstances, Jingle would have given the list to the old man Shan and never mentioned it at the meeting, as if it was arranged by the old man Shan.

Otherwise, if other team leaders knew about the work I assigned to them, not only might they not be satisfied, but there might also be complications.

But now the old man from the mountain has an attitude of "I'm going to give up" and "How about I chop down Shifengyuan", so Kyoraku has to stand up himself!

Yilong took a quick look and found that not only was there no old man, no Kurotsuchi Mayuri, no Sister Hua, but also no himself and no Amagi...

2023-09-20

"The leader of the Travel Disaster has now obtained the [Purification Seal] that was originally in the basement of the Technology Development Bureau. In a day and a half, he will have the ability to resonate with other [Purification Seals] and detonate them. His current location is unknown."

As Kyoraku spoke, a head with white hair and red eyes moved to the "Technology Development Bureau" on the map, and then suddenly turned into a burning state with golden light and disappeared.

"So now the other eighteen [Purification Chapters] must be sealed within twelve hours. This will isolate the long-range resonance, but at the same time they also need to be guarded, otherwise the opponent will definitely trigger them on the spot."

In order to make it easier to understand, Kyoraku mentioned the "seal" and barriers appeared at the locations of the eighteen [Purification Seals]. Then, a "ghost face" replaced the traveler A and attacked these places, resulting in an "explosion effect"...

Then Kyoraku moved the heads of the gods of death to these places one by one. After the "ghost faces" moved over, they were defeated and turned into the appearance of "skeletons".

In short, there are eighteen locations later, and they all require the defense of the captain and vice-captain level forces!

Because Kyoraku considered the Purification Scepter to be a dangerous item "with one piece having the power to destroy one-tenth of Seireitei", all of his subsequent strategies were focused on it.

"I don't think it's necessary at all. If everyone goes to guard these places, what about the Traveling Troubles? Are we going to let them destroy things in Soul Society?" Yilong said lightly at this time.

"It doesn't matter. We still have the Death God agent, the Soul Hunters who come to assist us, and Captain Shifengyuan and Captain Amagai, right?" Kyoraku responded calmly.

"Hahaha, but if you say that we are mobilizing too many troops, the protective forces are too unbalanced... If I'm not mistaken, it's Hinamori Momo, right? Can she be responsible for one place alone? Are you sure that Li Huo won't break through the defense if he goes here directly? If Hinamori Momo can do it, then there is no need to arrange a captain-level person. It will be the same if we arrange a few more officers." Tianbei laughed out loud at this time.

Seven captains were assigned to the team. In addition to old man Yamamoto who had to stay in charge, Unohana who had to be ready to rescue the wounded at any time, and Mayuri Kurotsuchi who had not recovered from his injuries, only Shifengyuan Ichiryu and Amagai Shusuke were not assigned to the team.

Others included Kyōraku himself, the consumptive Ukitake, and even Ōmaeda, the acting captain, each of whom was responsible for a different area.

In addition, there are seven vice-captains, including Sekizaemon, Kira Izuru, Hisagi Shuhei, Matsumoto Rangiku, Abarai Renji, Hinamori Momo, and Okiga Genshiro, as well as three chief officers, including Kuchiki Rukia, Madarame Ikkaku, and Ayase Gawa Yumichika...
