Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

It can be seen that although Kyoraku does not trust Shihouin, he is only concerned about Amagai. He is not overly wary of Soi-Fong, Ichiryu's vice-captain, or even Ōmaeda.

Probably in Kyōraku's opinion, these people might be closer to Shihōin, but they are definitely not enemies, and it is even more impossible that they would really plan to blow up Seireitei because of Shihōin's words!

Yilong continued to say "we don't need so many people", while Amagai Shusuke had already mocked this arrangement as irrational - can Hinamori Momo also be the captain?

Seven captains, one acting captain, seven deputy captains, and three chief officers... the gap in combat power is too big!

Yilong also said at this time: "Indeed, if the goal is really to guard against those travel disasters, there is nothing to say about the seven captains. Vice Captain Abarai has already mastered Bankai, Vice Captain Okiya is experienced enough, and Madarame Ikkaku's strength is not bad... The others are too far behind. Instead of doing this, it is better to concentrate on the strength and ignore these [Purification Chapter]."

Okiga Genshiro, the third seat of the previous First Division, was promoted to vice-captain after the Suzuki were "exiled" to the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force.

Although he got promoted thanks to Yilong, he didn't bring anything to the 9th Squad to take a look.

As for Madarame, he had already reached the third level of spiritual power several years ago...

Although he said that he had not yet developed Bankai, with the example of Ichiryu in front of him, others were not sure whether it was true or not.

Yilong only acknowledged the strength of the three of them except the captain. He didn't think that anyone else, even Omaeda, could be compared with the captain.

At this time, Omaeda sat upright, not daring to say a word - if it was Amagai who said it, he would have slammed the table long ago, but since it was Yilong who said it, he dared not have any opinion.

Hearing Ichiryuu say this, Kyoraku guessed that he wanted to use the lack of local combat power to oppose the current plan of strict defense, or to force himself to arrange him and Amagai...

"That's why I arranged Captain Amagai of the support force outside. No matter where the battle occurs, Captain Amagai can rush there as soon as possible. And Captain Shifengyuan is always very good at finding people. If you take the initiative to attack, maybe we won't be needed at all and you can solve the opponent by yourself!" Kyoraku's reason was very reasonable and he also complimented the two of them.

but……

"Hmm? Take the initiative? Then I'll take the initiative and let Shifengyuan come here!" Zaraki said proactively at this time.

Kyoraku: ...

As expected, Zaraki acted as a troublemaker at this time, and Kyōraku was helpless - if it was old man Yama who arranged it, there would not be such a problem.

"Ahem... Captain Zaraki, your position is very important. You see... you are at the center of several nearby [Purification Seals], and this is a key location. There are several noble clans within the range, and it is the most likely to be attacked by the travel disaster." Ukitake convinced Zaraki with a sincere face.

Then Ukitake said, "Actually... Captain Shifengyuan does have a point, so we might as well divide these Shinigami into groups of two."

As Ukitake spoke, on the map, Nozomi Ohmaeda and the shooting range avatars gathered together, Kira and Hisagi gathered together, Rangiku and Rukia gathered together, Yumichika and Hinamori gathered together...

But this leaves four seats vacant!

"As for the other four positions, I suggest that the soul hunters who accepted our request for help... ahem, take over to defend them." Ukitake said seriously.

Yamamoto opened one eye at this time and glanced at Ukitake, probably having an issue with the term "asking for help", but... since he had already made up his mind to give up today, he didn't open his mouth to correct him easily.

Indeed, in Yamamoto's opinion, there is no need to find those soul hunters!

In Yamamoto's opinion, Ukitake asked them to come because he was too soft-hearted - he just wanted to use it as a reason to accept them and completely solve the historical problem of "Soul Hunting".

"Oh? Captain Ukitake thinks they can do it? Their strength is weaker than the soul hunter in the lead who has already fused a [Purification Chapter]. And in a one-on-one fight, their strength is about the same as that of the soul hunters from other travellers. They are not as good as ordinary deputy captains, right?" Tianbei questioned at this time.

"That's right, but... they are also Soul Hunters! At the critical moment, we can release the seal and let them integrate the [Purification Chapter]. Then we can not only defeat the opponent, but also prevent the [Purification Chapter] from being detonated!" Fuzhu answered his doubts.

"There are five Soul Hunters coming to Soul Society to help, right? Why don't we have them guard this place as well? Let Rukia work with the Death God proxy. They have a better understanding of each other." Yilong said seriously.

Kuchiki Byakuya glanced at Ichiryu at this time, and probably felt as if invisible beads had hit him on the face.

"No! There's a soul hunter, and he's a child. We can't involve him."

Ukitake firmly refused to involve a "child" in the battle. Ichiryu spread his hands when he heard this - although he felt that Hong could not be considered a child...

Kuchiki Byakuya then asked, "There is one more thing. When Captain Kurotsuchi Mayuri was fighting with Ichigo Kurosaki, there seemed to be a Hollow presence. Does Captain Shifengyuan have any clues?"

"Who knows? After all, he is Captain Nie." Yilong said as if he didn't know, but emphasized "Captain Nie".

At this time, Nie Yinmeng said expressionlessly: "It was the captain's invention."

Many captains looked over in confusion; they originally wanted to watch the show - but they didn't expect that it would be Byakuya Kuchiki who would cause trouble.

I never expected that the vice-captain of the 12th Division would...

However, it is indeed difficult to tell whether Nie Yinmeng's expression is true or false. What's more important is that she must have said this at the instruction of Kurotsuchi Mayuri. Since Kurotsuchi Mayuri himself said so, of course no one else can refute it!

After all, it's not surprising that guy has some strange inventions.

But Kyoraku looked at Nie Yinmeng worriedly at this time. He was a little worried. Why did Kurotsuchi Mayuri cover up for Ichiryu? What kind of collusion did these two have?

Of course, Kyoraku also didn't want to delve into Ichigo.

"It seems that everyone has no objection..." Kyoraku was about to settle the matter.

At this time, Yilong suddenly said, "Wait, I think we need to consider the arrangements for these [Pure Realm Chapter] guardians."

"Eh? We're already trying to balance the combat power of all parties within the Soul Society... and Captain Zaraki is in the place that is most vulnerable to attack." Kyoraku said, and added one more sentence to calm Zaraki down.

"No, no, no, Captain Kyoraku... look, isn't this more reasonable? It doesn't disrupt the balance of combat power in all directions, and... you'll be more familiar with fighting here!" Ichiryu said, and used his spiritual pressure to lead the floating Kyoraku portrait on the table to the position of Omaeda and the shooting range next to him.

here……

Kyoraku should indeed be very familiar with it, because it is the ancestral land of the Kyoraku family!

"How can I use my power for personal gain..." Kyoraku showed a helpless look - he was really not familiar with "those people". Since his brother's death, the biggest dealings he had with his family were that he had teamed up with Shihouin and used the family's gambling house to kick Ise Shinkuro out.

"Do you think this is abusing public power for personal gain? What's wrong with finding a place where you can display your fighting power? Otherwise, if there is an explosion here, will Captain Kyoraku blame others?" Yilong immediately instigated.

"Hahaha, I agree!" Zaraki said while enjoying the fun.

"I agree too." Soi Feng said in a low voice - well, mainly just to watch the fun.

"I agree." Kuchiki Byakuya said openly, and in order to avoid Kyoraku's refusal, he added: "And the Kuchiki family is also in this area. As the head of the Kuchiki family, I feel very relieved to leave this to Captain Kyoraku."

He mainly hoped that Kyoraku Shunsui could take this opportunity to reconcile with his family. As the "model of aristocracy" and the head of the Kuchiki clan, Byakuya Kuchiki also cared a lot about the aristocratic customs.

"I think so too..." Ukitake spoke at this time, and Kyōraku immediately glared at him - you're coming too, right?

Fuzhu said helplessly: "The main reason is that there is one more thing I want to remind everyone later... Once the seal is faulty, or if there is any other reason that makes the [Purification Chapter] in danger of exploding, everyone's mission will immediately change to... forced evacuation!"

"This is not easy to deal with, right? And isn't there a technique to contain the spread of the explosive power?" Yilong said deliberately at this time.

"No, even if we can contain some of the power of the explosion, but... ahem, judging from the situation a thousand years ago, even if the power of the explosion is only 10%, it will cause great damage!" Ukitake said sternly at this time.

"But you see, these places are mainly concentrated in the residential areas of the nobles... Well, as for the Shifengyuan family, if Captain Ukitake insists, I will let them be ready to evacuate at any time, but... Captain Ukitake, you know, not everyone is as easy to talk to as me... and Captain Kuchiki." Yilong retorted calmly.

Yes, Byakuya Kuchiki could agree to this, but...

There are too many "difficult to talk to" guys among the nobles.

"So our mission this time is very difficult!" Fuzhu said in a deep voice.

"Tsk, anyway, all we have to do is clear the surroundings, right?" Zaraki dug his ears and confirmed with Ukitake.

Ukitake: ...

"No, Captain Zaraki, you don't need to worry about this. If there needs to be evacuation there, I will arrange for other people." Ukitake said to Zaraki with a little embarrassment.

At this time, Omaeda looked at the atmosphere, then looked at "Brother Yilong", and took the initiative to say: "The Omaeda family can also cooperate."

Having said this, Kyoraku could only say, "Okay, okay, I got it. Leave the Kyoraku family to me."

“In fact, I’ve said it before. Even if it exploded, the power wouldn’t be that great. It must have been an accident a thousand years ago…” Yilong still wanted to promote the non-toxic and harmless nature of the [Purification Chapter] at this time.

"Captain Shifengyuan, it's always better to be cautious." Ukitake advised - without revealing the tone of "don't deliberately cause trouble" at all.

“Well, I hope that we won’t lose one or two God-given weapons or something due to the emergency evacuation… Tsk tsk, if something was lost in my house, or there really was a big explosion and it was all over, it would be fine. But if something was lost in other nobles’ homes and there wasn’t a big explosion, I dare not imagine what they would say.” Yilong shook his head as he spoke, as if he was worried about the decision maker of this plan.

However, Captain Yamamoto, who had been silent until then, seemed to wake up from a nap, opened his eyes again, and said, "The order for emergency evacuation was issued by the general squad. Captains and vice-captains, just execute the order."

Obviously, old man Yamamoto just didn't say anything before, but he didn't mean to let the students take the blame!

Since even Captain Yamamoto said so, Yilong had no choice but to agree, but Tianbei still talked a lot and muttered: "If we had taken the initiative before, there wouldn't be so many problems."

The volume was just enough for everyone to hear, but not enough to be considered a formal speech...

"Tianbei! That's enough. The captain has already said so... You just need to carry out your mission well. Don't worry, captain. I can't say anything about other places, but the Shifengyuan family and all the subordinate nobles will definitely cooperate with the captain's decision. As long as it is an emergency evacuation, there will be no delay!" Yilong said in a tone of "We will evacuate immediately even if we lose a few pieces of God-given weapons", taking on the responsibility.

162. Chapter 162 Response

162.

2023-09-22

At the end of the meeting, Yilong expressed his full support for the captain...

When the meeting was over, the captains also saw the deputy captains coming out of the side room.

Because the task arrangement in the meeting just now was closely related to many deputy captains, the captains also began to arrange their work.

Nirvana left without saying hello to anyone, and seemed to be in a hurry to return to the 12th Division. This made people more suspicious. Kurotsuchi Mayuri must have been seriously injured again... But then why did he take the blame for Kurosaki Ichigo?

"Huh? It turns out that Rukia is also on standby in the side room... She's already the acting vice-captain! Captain Ukitake, what rank is Rukia now? I think it's not a bad idea to directly promote her to vice-captain." After seeing Rukia, Ichiryu directly persuaded Ukitake.

"Rukia is now the fourth seat, she is indeed very capable, ahem..."

Fuzhu just responded to Yilong's abacus sound with embarrassment.

"When it comes to selecting talented people, don't avoid them because of your relationship with them. You shouldn't avoid them just because of Captain Kuchiki! Look at Captain Kyoraku..." Ichiryu gave Ukitake an example.

Kyoraku ignored him, but Ise Nanao glared at him - How dare you bring this up?

However... before that, when Rukia was sent to the Realm of the Realm of the Supreme Being, she already had the strength of a chief officer. It was indeed because Byakuya Kuchiki did not want his sister to take on too dangerous a mission, so he asked Ukitake not to promote her.

"Not at all, Captain, you're too kind. It's just that everyone on the team is willing to cooperate with me. I'm still a long way from being a vice-captain. If you have too high expectations, Captain Shifengyuan will probably be disappointed." Rukia said modestly.

Rukia was also confused at this time. Captain Shifengyuan seemed to be very enthusiastic towards her and now he even called her "Rukia" directly?

I had this vague feeling when I was still imprisoned!

Of course, Ukitake had not gone out of his way to "gossip" with Lucia about the matters involving Shifengyuan and Kurosaki Ichigo before, but now... the "real deal" happened not long ago, and Ukitake would not rush to take advantage of it. Come tell her.

"Rukia, don't be too modest. Captain Ukitake is often ill, so you should encourage him." Yilong encouraged.

Ukitake, Rukia: ...

Shocked by Yilong's emotional intelligence, the two were speechless for a moment.

Then Ichiryu also told Hisagi where he was going.

“If you encounter a Soul Hunter attack, you and Kira Izuru must cooperate well. If you can’t hold on… no, if you can’t quickly defeat the enemy, call for help immediately. Captain Amagai will rush over as soon as possible. Also… hey, although I don’t want to do this, if the situation gets bad, you must immediately evacuate.

"I know what you want to ask. Yes, it is forced evacuation. But you must be careful about the method and method. Remember, this is the order of the captain-general. Do not turn the conflict between those nobles and the Gotei 13 into a conflict with you personally..." Yilong said worriedly.

The words were not evaded to anyone, and all the captains and vice-captains around him heard them.

But even Kyōraku didn't object at this time - these vice-captains were just following orders!

After Amagai and Kirara Izuru gave their instructions, he even said in a distasteful tone, "Come to think of it... Captain Kyoraku, you didn't even arrange for Vice Captain Ise to perform the guard duty?"

This statement seemed to be a criticism of Kyoraku Harusei for abusing his power for personal gain and not giving the tough job to his vice-captain.

"Yes, if an emergency evacuation is needed, Nanao will coordinate and command." Kyoraku replied politely - to show that he would take responsibility.

"Okay, Captain Amagai, we have to work harder. If we can stop Ryoho outside the defense point, Seireitei will be safe." Yilong persuaded Amagai at this time.

At first glance it sounds like advice, but if you think about it carefully it seems to be saying - if they had not been released into Soul Society and had taken the initiative to go to the human world, there wouldn't be the trouble we have now?

……

Seeing all the captains and vice-captains rushing to their posts, Yilong was not in a hurry and went back to the 9th Division first - what if Kariya God attacked the 9th Division and broke into the prison?

When he was about to reach the team dormitory, Yilong suddenly felt something and immediately turned around and walked into the alley nearby...

Then, Litoto emerged from the shadows...

"Your Majesty ordered me to ask why there is a [Pure Realm Seal] in the hands of the Soul Hunter." Li Totuo seemed to be questioning at this time.

Ichiryuu is not surprised by this, and Litoto's emotional expressions are very indifferent. In the final analysis... it is Yhwach who is not polite!

It is obvious that Yhwach was just saying nice things, and actually regarded Yilong as his subordinate - otherwise he would not have come to "question" right away.

However, Yilong also pretended to be polite to him at this time: "Please tell His Majesty that everything is going as planned. Under my suggestion, the other eighteen [Pure Realm Seals] have all been protected."

“Your Majesty, that’s what I want to remind you of… The sealing technique used by the Kidōshi can indeed interrupt the resonance between the [Purification Chapters], but once the artificial Fullbringer self-destructs, the [Purification Chapter] that he has fused with will still explode, causing the other [Purification Chapters] to be forced to resonate. In just about half a minute, it will cause space ripples that will affect the Invisible Empire, and it may then be targeted by Soul Society.” Litotto said, curling her lips slightly.

Yilong knew that this was not directed at him...
