Collapse, surrender to me!

Many small blue lights like fireflies appeared in the void.

Death gods become death gods when people die and their souls go to Soul Society, and when death gods die, they become spirit children. In other words, when death gods die, they cease to exist.

Becoming a spirit particle is the destination of everything.

And spirit particles can make up everything in Soul Society.

The girl couldn't help but have an idea in her mind, but if she wanted to put it into practice, it would probably take a lot of experiments.

"anyway……"

Grayshu asked Ichimaru Gin a question.

"Starting from the 78th district of Rukongai, there is a serious shortage of water, and it has become one of the targets of theft and looting. Some people even sell water as a commodity for profit... Because the souls with spiritual power sometimes cannot survive even if they absorb spiritual particles in the atmosphere. They will become too hungry and lose their physical strength. In more serious cases, they may even die."

"But the atmosphere is made of spirit particles, but isn't the land made of spirit particles as well? Why can't they eat the soil... No, can't they extract spirit particles from the soil?"

"..."

Gin Ichimaru was completely confused by Graysmith's question.

You asked him this question before he even started fighting. It shows that you trust his level too much.

It would be okay to ask Aizen, but after attending the wedding, Aizen went back to Hueco Mundo.

"How about... go ask the captain of the 12th Division, Urahara Kisuke?"

"Makes sense!"

So ten minutes later.

Urahara Kisuke was also confused when he looked at Graysch.

However, unlike Gin Ichimaru, he was unable to give an answer, but asked back.

"People in this world think that everything in the world is made up of atoms, but I've never seen them chewing on No. 42 concrete?!"

"It seems like this..."

Grace felt like she was getting stuck in a rut.

But she felt that there was nothing wrong with her idea. It was not impossible to break down No. 42 concrete into the smallest particles and then assemble new bread.

So he began to ask Urahara Kisuke about matters related to spirit particles.

After all, Aizen had said before that Urahara could be said to be the expert who had gone the furthest in this regard.

"Then theoretically, if I master the spirit particles, I can create the world?"

"It's not that easy."

Urahara was happy.

"If the head house spirit is a death god, it can be done, but this is not the key. Being able to control the spirit is the key."

To put it in modern terms.

The fundamental particles are not the key. Only those who can control these fundamental particles can become God.

That is to say, as long as you can control the four basic forces: electromagnetic force, gravitational force, strong force, and weak force, it will be enough.

The basic particle in the world corresponding to the lepton is the quark.

The weak force can transform one type of quark into another type of quark.

There are three quarks in a neutron. If one of the down quarks is transformed into an up quark through weak force, and the other two remain unchanged, then the neutron will become a proton.

This mutual conversion of protons and neutrons is very useful.

For example, the iron element in the periodic table can be converted into cobalt by capturing two neutrons and then using the weak force to convert one neutron into a proton.

By the same token, after cobalt captures two neutrons, it will also turn into nickel.

When nickel captures a neutron, it turns into copper.

When copper captures a neutron it turns into tin.

By analogy, the atomic nucleus continues to absorb neutrons, becoming larger and larger, and can then turn into all the subsequent elements.

"Thus, a single spirit particle can build a colorful world."

Urahara explained.

"I have only mastered the basics of this spirit particle technology."

“Is there anyone who has mastered it completely?”

"There really is..."

Urahara said leisurely.

"That's the Spirit King."

If the four basic forces are replaced by power, then the Spirit King is a god who possesses all power.

Spiritual King.

Grayshu had heard the explanation when she was in the Spiritual Arts Academy.

That was a very distant time.

In that era, everything was vast and ambiguous.

There is no birth or death, no progress or regression.

It just sways gently, slowly, spending tens of millions of years waiting for the world to cool down.

Even becoming a void is part of the soul particle cycle.

But eventually, the void began to consume humans, and the cycle was completely stopped.

If this continues, all souls will eventually become a huge void, and the world will fall into complete stillness.

But it's really incredible.

As if the world was rejecting this, a life was born. The one who destroyed the Hollow, turned it into the sand of spirit particles, and started the cycle of the world again.

This person is the Spirit King.

"Then can I go see the Soul King?" Grayshu asked.

"This one……"

Urahara Kisuke couldn't say anything about this.

"If the Spirit King wants to see you, then he can."

Urahara looked very depressed.

In addition to guarding against Aizen, the more important thing is the Hogyoku. Although the Hogyoku was created by Urahara himself, in fact, he does not fully understand it, and there are still many questions and unclear points.

Moreover, Urahara thought that with his ability, he might not be able to completely hide the existence of the Hogyoku. This dangerous thing would eventually be known by the high-ranking officials of the Seireitei. What would he do then?

Urahara walked to the window, sighed deeply with a lot on his mind, and looked out the window. The sky was blue and cloudless, and the midday sun was shining on the entire Seireitei.

However, for Urahara now, no matter how bright the sun is, it cannot illuminate the entanglements in his heart and the darkness that has silently settled.

Urahara felt that his current situation was like the saying goes, there is a wolf at the front door and a tiger at the back door.

In front of him was Aizen Ichimaru, who was watching him, and behind him he had to be on guard against the entire Seireitei.

It would be better to destroy the Hogyoku as soon as the information is sorted out, Urahara thought, or maybe just not sort the information out at all? This would make the research results that he had spent countless efforts on as if they had never existed, but it would also reduce all risks to a minimum.

Whether it's his or Jinglingting's.

However, Urahara felt a little unwilling to do so, because from a certain perspective, the Hogyoku was actually the product of a failed experiment. He could destroy the Hogyoku, but he also wanted to keep the experimental data.

In order for another experiment to succeed, the data from the last failure is very necessary and important.

Urahara stared at the members of Team 12 running around in the yard outside, his thoughts turning over and over in his mind, and it was difficult for him to make a decision immediately.

Urahara's current thoughts.

Probably just like the genius club member Pinocchio who developed the imaginary pulse weapon.

Although he knew that what he had researched was too dangerous, he still wanted to preserve the information.

"By the way, Grayshu, I want to ask you for a favor."

"?"

"You've been carrying the Broken Jade for a while now. Is there any way to destroy it?"

"Smash it? I don't think this thing is strong enough."

"..."

Urahara was speechless, not knowing how to answer the girl for a moment.

The Hogyoku is a substance that radiates energy. All of its energy is in its core. How could Urahara dare to smash the Hogyoku as Graysch said? If he was not careful, the energy inside would be released in a big way, which would be like a little boy exploding in the Seireitei.

However, beyond that, Urahara now has no idea how to destroy the Hogyoku safely and effectively.

So he wanted to ask Grace.

"If all I want is to make the Broken Jade disappear from the Three Realms, I can do it."

Grace thought for a moment and said.

It's over once she takes the Houyu away from the world of death.

“It won’t have any impact.”

"Really?!"

Urahara was overjoyed.

If what Gresh said was true, then he could finally get a good night's sleep.

"Ah."

Gray nodded affirmatively.

The girl always kept her promises, so she threw the broken jade directly back to the studio.

Then we arrived at Rukongai.

She wanted to try it.

Although only the Spirit King can master the complete power.

But it's not impossible for her to do it.

……

The situation outside of Rukongai was much more serious than Graysh had imagined.

If she hadn't been wearing the emblem of the Fifth Division, she would have been attacked by countless people along the way.

The streets here are winding like a maze, the bluestone road surface has long been broken, and the potholes are filled with black sewage.

The sky is always covered by thick clouds, and occasionally a few rays of gray light shine through, shining coldly on this chaotic scene.

The streets are lined with messy building remains, and the collapsed walls and tilted houses make people believe that this is where people live.

The broken window holes were like lonely eyes, staring blankly at the empty streets.

The stalls were now only left with scattered shelves and broken merchandise, with flies hovering over the rotten food, and the pungent smell was suffocating.

The vegetable stalls had long since become garbage dumps, covered in moss and mold.

In this area, resources have become extremely scarce.

Everyone carefully cherished the little water and food in their hands, and even fought for a piece of shelter.

The entire neighborhood is like an abandoned battlefield. The chaos, disorder and lack of resources make it a desperate place to live.

Although Grayshu has heard Aizen say this many times.

But after seeing it with his own eyes, he remained silent.

Mainly because she felt that the Jinglingting was actually capable of governing, instead of being so laissez-faire and treating souls who had no hope of becoming gods of death as even less than human.

Indeed, souls without spiritual power do not need to eat or absorb spiritual particles. But without order, these souls are the most miserable and have no ability to resist at all.

Secondly, it has a little spiritual power and needs spiritual particles to survive, but is not qualified to be the soul of the god of death.

This kind of soul needs to eat food, otherwise it will starve to death.
