Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

Ichiryu seemed to sense Ichigo's seriousness, so he took a deep breath and said, "What do you think this world is like?"

"Eh?" Ichigo was stunned when he heard that, obviously not understanding what his father was talking about.

"Human, whole, hollow, death god, Quincy..." Yilong said slowly at this time.

In this way, Ichigo immediately understood that what his father wanted to talk about was the very macro-level worldview of "laws".

"You have been in the world of hell for some time, so you should have seen the gate to hell, right?" Yilong asked in a different direction.

"Yeah." Ichigo nodded, and his mind once again thought of the huge door.

At the same time, Ichigo was also looking at his father. For some reason, he rubbed his hands and a few "light balls" flew into the sky, just above the two of them, hanging like the shadowless lamp in the operating room - Ichigo didn't understand ghost ways, so he didn't understand how this was done, nor did he understand what this was doing.

"Once upon a time, this world... was nothing but hell and chaos. There was no progress or retreat, let alone living beings..." Yilong's voice sounded very distant.

"After that, the Spirit King was born in this world. His Majesty the Spirit King divided the world into three realms. However, this is still just a temporary measure. Now this world can only be said to be living in misery..."

Yilong skipped over the specific actions of the Spirit King, so there was no need to explain what the ancestors of the five nobles did to the Spirit King.

"Live a miserable life?" Ichigo wondered if his father was exaggerating. At the same time, he was also confused because this seemed to have nothing to do with his father's ideals.

"If we continue, there will be only three possible endings for this world... One is that it will be swallowed by hell, two is that in the end there will only be one void that has swallowed up all the spirit particles, and three is that all the instruments will be extinguished and fall into absolute stillness." Yilong stated the conclusion directly.

Although Ichigo didn't understand, he at least understood something: "So... this is related to what you are going to do, dad?"

"That's right. Whether it's Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, or the real world... if there's anyone who can resolve this crisis right now, it's only Aizen." Ichiryu suddenly said in a shocking manner.

This is why Yilong wants to rub the "Shadowless Lamp" with his hands - this cannot be heard by Yhwach.

"Eh? Eh? Wait! Dad, you are not..." Ichigo took a long time to react - are you admitting that you are colluding with Aizen? Manager Urahara really didn't misjudge you...

However, Yilong shook his head and said, "I know what you are thinking. If he can really do it, I am willing to help him, but... unfortunately, the probability of Aizen Sosuke being able to accomplish this is only this much at most." Yilong made a "tiny" gesture.

"So, I'm the only one who can do it." Yilong said calmly.

Although……

Ichiryū's current remarks still sound very much like the "big boss", but Ichigo is relieved instead - it's better than really "promoting Aizen"!

"As expected, Dad, you still haven't told me what you are going to do... Never mind, is it because you think I don't understand? I understand..." Ichigo rubbed his nose with relief.

Obviously, Ichiryu's purpose, at least sounded noble, which made Ichigo relax. After all, no one wanted their father to be an ambitious person.

"But, Dad, I think there are still many things in this world that are more important than continuation and existence!" Ichigo basically believed in Ichiryu's ultimate goal, but was worried that he would be too unscrupulous.

It actually looks like that!

Neither power nor strength is the ultimate goal, but... it is a necessary means to achieve the ultimate goal.

Ichigo was still somewhat worried about how far Ichiryu could go for this "goal".

"Yeah, I think so." Yilong calmly agreed with Ichigo.

But just when Ichigo became more relaxed and felt that his father was at least not crazy yet, Ichiryu smiled slightly and said: "There should be many things in the world that are more important than [existence], otherwise there would be no [existence] in this world." It makes sense... I really want to say this, but... for me, dad, the only answer to the multiple-choice question between [existence] and [more important than existence] is [existence]."

Ichigo: ...

Sure enough, Ichigo discovered that his father was just like those "villains" in various movies who would do anything to achieve their "goals" without any restraint!

However, Ichigo was still very happy that his father could tell him these things.

Although it still sounds dangerous, it is... much better than he had expected.

As for whether dad would lie to himself?

It's not that Ichigo trusts his father that much, but his father's answer really shows that there is nothing to deceive him about. He even didn't deny that he might "do whatever it takes".

At this moment, Soul suddenly shouted: "Ah! I feel it... It's the Soul Hunter!"

"What? Which way?" Ichigo reacted immediately.

"The direction of You..."

Before Ichigo went, he hurriedly turned his head and said to Yilong: "But... Dad, there are things that are [more important than existence]. Even if my opponent is you, I will protect them for you!" After saying that, he ran away.

"Sure enough, a childhood without being beaten by father for more than ten years is incomplete..." Yilong looked at Ichigo's back and shook his head.

After Ichigo left, Ichiryu immediately "flash-stepped" to the west, with no intention of supporting his son...

Whether it is the "Rat-Head Soul Hunter" or the Kariya God, I believe Ichigo can handle it!

Yilong has more important things to do, so he uses almost all his strength to activate [Instant Step], which is completely different from his "daily commuting"!

Halfway through, Ichiryu sensed Ichigo and another burst of spiritual pressure.

Ichiryu didn't have the ability to sense "Soul Hunting". That was something Urahara loaded into the "transformed souls". It wasn't a naturally born ability. But now that the spiritual pressure had exploded, Ichiryu sensed it immediately.

The spiritual pressure confronting Ichigo was as violent as a storm. It seemed that Ichigo had found Kariya God.

So Yilong worked even harder, fearing that his son would act too quickly...

However, this worry is obviously unnecessary. After integrating the [Purification Chapter], the "Soul Hunter" has demonstrated a strength that is no less than that of an ordinary captain after [Bankai]!

Even if Ichigo were to solve it, it wouldn't be easy - after all, as long as the fragments of power that he could control with his own will were enough to fight the enemy, the Quincy would not provide him with any additional help.

When Ichiryu arrived near the [Purification Chapter] that Kyōraku was in charge of, he could still feel the collision of spiritual pressure - at this time, this place was about one-tenth of the Seireitei away from the center of the battle, which was not too far.

While Ichiryu was on his way, the battle between Ichigo and Kariya was in full swing. Although he was not present at the scene, he could feel the intensity of the battle from the trend of the spiritual pressure explosion.

When he arrived near the target area, Yilong even had some extra time.

At this moment, a small fluctuation of spiritual pressure appeared in the direction of Ayase Gawa Yumichika and Hinamori Momo - if the distance was not close enough, it might not be felt.

After Yilong noticed it, he couldn't help but frowned, hesitating whether to go over...

Because the distance was not far, Yilong rushed over for safety reasons. Just when Yilong arrived, a high-pitched spiritual pressure rose up, giving people a feeling that was no less than that of Kariya God!

Yilong frowned at this time!

If it is the Rat-Headed Soul Hunter, and he has also merged with the [Pure World Chapter] at this time, then we must kill him before he completely merges...

But soon after, Yilong, who arrived secretly, saw the situation at the scene - first, Ayase Gawa Yumichika was stabbed... Looking at the wound, you can tell that it was most likely the attack by the God of War Momo Hinamori!

Although the reason this time is very obvious, Hinamori Momo is controlled by "Rat Head Flower", and Maqiao used the same method to control the patrolling Grim Reapers to kill each other before, but... Yilong still wants to complain, Hinamori Momo can be said to be a "true civil war phantom".

Judging from his record alone, he can be called a "God of War", but if you look closely at the number of kills he got, you can see that they are all from his teammates.

Mabashi's sudden attack made Yumichika panic for a while, but he finally used the "Complete Shikai" of [Lapis Lazuli-colored Peacock] to "suck out" the parasites in Hinamori Momo's body and temporarily escaped the crisis.

However, this also allowed Maqiao to successfully break the seal. However, Maqiao's purpose was not to cooperate with Kariya God to detonate the explosion. After all, he was right next to him. He did not want to carry out a suicide attack, but wanted to integrate the [Purification Chapter]!

This gives Hinamori Momo an opportunity!

Although Yumichika was stabbed and seriously injured, and did not want to continue using his hidden [Lapis Lazuli Peacock] in front of Hinamori Momo who had regained consciousness, Hinamori Momo who had regained consciousness was still capable of fighting.

As Hinamori Momo and Mabashi were fighting, [Tobimei]'s fire bombs chased the "rat-headed puppet" and fired.

Ma Qiao angrily threatened Hinamori Momo that the seal of the [Purification Seal] had been broken, and if they continued to stop him, the result would be that it would be remotely detonated by Kariya God, and everyone would die!

Although Hinamori Momo was slightly hesitant, she was not immediately convinced.

Just when it seemed that the [Purification Seal] was about to be activated and Ma Qiao was already hysterical...

Ah Hong, who was not assigned any tasks, arrived and directly integrated this [Purification Seal]!

After being merged with other "Soul Hunters", the [Purification Chapter] can no longer be activated.

At the same time, the angry Ma Qiao wanted to kill Ah Hong and strip him of the [Purification Chapter] that he had not yet completely digested.

I just don't know why, it took Kariya God three days to completely merge with the [Purification Chapter], but...

Ah Hong, a new soul hunter of the next generation, completed the "fusion" with the [Pure World Chapter] in an instant. In comparison, the Kariya statue, a second-generation soul hunter, was a defective product.

When Yilong arrived, he just saw Ah Hong, after fusing with the [Purification Chapter], directly merged with his own [Taisui], transformed into the form of "Taisui God", showing three heads and eight arms, and tore apart Maqiao's "Rat Head Flower" with his bare hands.

[Puppet] The destroyed Maqiao turned into a pile of loose sand on the spot.

Seeing this scene, Yilong's eyes also showed a look of reminiscence...

The big star prince back then, [Puppet] was also "at the age of Tai Sui", and after the fusion, he still looked so heroic, and even...his eyebrows and eyes were 80% similar to Ah Hong!

Yilong was also surprised by this...

Normally, when a Soul Hunter dies, his soul will completely dissipate. At most, his power will transfer, but that is also the "whole" that is transferred to other reincarnations. There is no such thing as reincarnation for the Soul Hunter itself.

……

At the same time, Ichigo and the other's storm-like spiritual pressure both increased to the extreme.

Yilong immediately calmed down and did not show up, but turned around and rushed back...

The next moment, the "storm-like spiritual pressure" began to run wild and showed signs of being out of control!

Not far away, in the direction of the Kyōraku family, a black mark formed by [The Seventy-Seventh Technique of Binding: Tentsūra] appeared and spread in all directions.

However, Yilong blurred his spiritual pressure in advance and was not locked by "Tian Ting Kong Luo".

Instead of Ichiryu's own spiritual pressure, what was locked was the [Zanpakutō] that he had given to Oikato for safekeeping!

At the same time, Ichiryu could also sense the content of his Zanpakutō being transmitted - the reason for doing this was to prevent the opponent from indirectly locking onto his position through "Tentei Kura", but he could still hear the voice emitted by Ise Nanao through "Tentei Kura".

[This is Ise Nanao, the vice-captain of the 8th Division. I am issuing a general division order. All units are to begin to carry out the emergency evacuation order! Soul Hunters who have been approved to provide support, immediately fuse the Pure Land Chapter...]

As expected, Kyoraku also realized that if Kariya God were to "self-destruct", it would be very dangerous even with a seal!

Especially the surrounding area, which will be affected by the explosion of the [Purification Chapter] in Kariya God's body.

And just as the Soul Society was in chaos due to the emergency evacuation order, Yilong finally had the opportunity...

Sneaking into the Kuchiki family!

(End of this chapter)

166. Chapter 166 That’s it?

166.

2023-09-22

In the clan territory of the Kuchiki family, Yilong sneaked into the archive secret room - [How to build the secret room of the Kuchiki family] was something Yilong had looked up in the "Great Spirit Book Corridor" before, so he knew everything from the location to the way to open it.

It was just a secret room, even if it was from the Kuchiki family, the "backlash" was within Yilong's tolerance.

Ichiryuu was looking for information about "Kuchiki Hibiki", Byakuya's uncle-in-law, and Hibiki's Zanpakutō [Muramasa]...

The reason why the information of "Kuchiki Hibiki" and "Muramasa" was not obtained directly from the "Great Spiritual Book Corridor" was because the sealing of "Kuchiki Hibiki" was done by old man Yamamoto himself!

It's not just a matter of "backlash", but just like the [Purification Chapter] is related to the "Invisible Empire", once it is touched, it may directly affect old man Yamamoto's intuitive perception.

Muramasa is a huge threat to the God of Death, so Yamamoto must have been very cautious in sealing Kuchiki Hibiki and his Zanpakuto.

It was a small matter for Yilong to not give Yamamoto face during the meeting, but it was a big matter to plot against [Muramasa]. Once Yamamoto found out, he would never let it go...

Therefore, Yilong did not go to look for trouble with the old man, but came to the secret archive room of the Kuchiki family - if it were not for Kyoraku and the others who made an emergency evacuation plan, Yilong would have no chance!

After learning that the [Purification Chapter] was a "dud", Yilong gave up the plan to blow it up. While deliberately releasing Lan Dao, he turned to plan to fish in troubled waters.

Under normal circumstances, even Ichiryu would be unsure about sneaking into the Kuchiki family, after all, the Kuchiki family doesn't have a "ghost" like Nayura...

But now with the emergency evacuation, the place is in chaos - it's not that there is no one outside, but it's still in chaos, so Yilong certainly has the opportunity to sneak in.

The story of Kuchiki Hibiki happened several decades before the "Zaraki Fuuya Incident", and was about the same time that Zaraki Fuuya's sister was executed. Both events happened three hundred years ago, during a period of bloody infighting among the nobles.

Although Ichiryu didn't know what exactly happened in the Soul Society at that time, but... Kuchiki Hibiki was a member of the Kuchiki family after all. Even if he was a son-in-law, when Yamamoto dealt with him, he must have made an agreement with Kuchiki Ginrin, Byakuya's grandfather and the previous head of the Kuchiki clan.

Even though Yilong didn't know what kind of deal was made at that time that led the Kuchiki family to push Kuchiki Hibiki out, there must have been some compromise behind the scenes.

In this case, there is a high probability that there will be some record of it in Xiumu's house!

At the same time, there was chaos in the Soul Society...

After all, the nobles all have their own ideas, let alone Kyōraku, even Yamamoto's orders are not easy to use.

The nobles who responded were either Shihouin, Kuchiki and the like, who supported the move in a standing position, or they knew about the big explosion and were worried, so they just threatened the Shinigami of the Gotei 13 and then cooperated.

However, there are still many who simply refuse to cooperate, and some even activate the defense spells of their clan lands...
