He might not hesitate to defect with Aizen one day, but he probably wouldn't be able to do it if Aizen asked him to take action against these subordinates.
Having encountered no trouble along the way, Higashijo, relieved, couldn't help but wonder, "So, Guiyan Castle was defeated?"
"No"
Yasuda Jusaka trembled, his face filled with undisguised fear, and said, "That monster monk was like a demon, running rampant without any reason."
After his monster companion was injured, he removed his prayer beads and became a completely different person; his crimson eyes alone were enough to instill fear in anyone who looked at them.
The monster rampaged indiscriminately. The Sixth and Ninth Seats were critically injured and on the verge of death after being hit by just one punch, while our attacks, whether slashes or demonic arts, were barely enough to stop him from taking more than a few steps.
"To protect our Lord Oni Ichijo, he took a lot of attacks. If it weren't for the help of Fourth Seat Ichinose, Lord Oni Ichijo would have been beaten to death."
"Finally, thanks to an opportunity created by Lord Onigenjo, Ichinose used his Zanpakuto's power to bind him, resulting in both Lord Onigenjo and Onigenjo suffering heavy injuries."
Joe didn't pay attention to the mention of "monster" in the conversation.
After listening to the team members' account and receiving supplementary information from others, he gained a general impression of the strength of the calamity.
Very strong! The team's claim of a draw was just a polite way of putting it. If it were truly a draw, they wouldn't have let the opponent escape. This only shows that the opponent still possessed combat capabilities after Guiyan City fell, a force they couldn't resist or stop.
But it's not particularly strong.
If Guiyan City hadn't been protecting his teammates, he probably wouldn't have been at a disadvantage in a one-on-one fight, especially considering that the monk and the demon had taken that "Beast Rosary."
They had suffered repeated defeats against Guiyan City.
Aside from fighting style, the difference in strength before and after can never be as significant as the change in power seen with D-level solutions.
If he could evaluate the defeat of Oni-Yan-jo by Shikai back then, then this Aota-bo wouldn't be his match either.
But, there are more than just one or two troublemakers! He has to report the news! (Exhausted, finally finished typing.)
Don't panic if you've subscribed to the preparatory chapters. These two chapters directly replace the 2,000 words of the preparatory chapters, and both exceed the 494 words of the preparatory chapters.
I don't know if I'll get a price adjustment for the extra words, but I've definitely prevented the possibility of a subscription exceeding the word count due to fewer words.
Chapter 517 My former nickname was... Death! 1/1
"Hmm, the third seat of Guiyan City looks rather pitiful."
Looking at the wounded soldiers brought to him, Retsu Unohana wore her ever-present smile.
The Zanpakuto in his hand transformed into a flat, light green manta ray in the next second, and under the horrified gazes of the others, it opened its huge mouth and swallowed the unconscious Oni Ichijo.
How terrifying! Everyone shuddered in unison.
Even the members of the Fourth Division found this scene somewhat difficult to accept.
Although everyone knows that Unohana Retsu's Shikai is so brutal and that it is indeed very effective, it is still rare for Unohana Retsu to use her flesh to heal, as her healing skills are sufficient to resolve most injuries.
Ichinose Masaki opened his mouth, but in the end, he remained silent in fear.
Ichinose
"No, my injuries are not serious."
"Not waiting: As soon as Unohana opened her mouth, he gave a forced smile and decisively refused."
Unohana didn't press the matter, and directly had Kotetsu Isane treat him while asking, "Having witnessed the traveling monsters, you should already have enough information, right? Could you briefly explain it to me?"
"Intelligence?"
As Ichinose Masaki received the healing treatment, his eyes gradually became unfocused: "That... monk-youkai named Aotabo pulled off his prayer beads and his power increased a lot. The killing intent he unleashed was also astonishing, but this power was not stronger than Lord Onigenjo. That killing intent was nothing in the long lives of us Shinigami, but he almost lost his mind and went berserk without caring about his injuries."
The more teammates were injured, the more violent he became, until finally…
In the end, Oni-no-Kage was defeated! Unohana Retsu frowned slightly, secretly speculating.
The injury must be due to fear, right? Monsters become stronger by absorbing human fear, so the fear of the Grim Reaper should also indirectly enhance their power.
The key factor wasn't the initial increase in power during the rampage, but rather the fact that the reckless rampage absorbed enough fear.
Despite thinking this to herself, Unohana Retsu's expression remained unchanged as she continued, "Are the other Ryoka also yokai?"
No, I'm not quite sure.
Lying on the hospital bed, Shinju shook his head. "But among them are former 12th Division Lieutenant Hiyori Sarugaki and former 8th Division Lieutenant Risa Yamaru. Before he fell into a coma, Oni Ikujo told me that one of them was Kurotabo, a member of the Nura Clan, and another was Inugami, a yokai who had also joined the Nura Clan. The others don't seem to be yokai or Shinigami, but humans!"
"Humans, this is impossible!"
Before Unohana Retsu could speak, Kotetsu Isane cried out in surprise.
Looking at their captain, Kotetsu Isane, with an incredulous expression, she said, "Captain! A human body cannot survive in Soul Society."
"uncertain."
Unohana Retsu seemed to be deep in thought, and under the surprised and doubtful gazes of the others, she said softly, "Humans cannot set foot in the Soul Society because their bodies cannot withstand the high concentration of spiritual particles for a long time. The concentration of spiritual particles in the Soul Society is dozens of times higher than that in the spiritually rich areas of the human world."
Those monsters also possess physical bodies; if they can come to the Soul Society, then humans can certainly come to the Soul Society as well.
The Grim Reapers were slightly taken aback, suddenly realizing that monsters also possessed physical bodies. If they could come to the Soul Society with their physical bodies, why couldn't humans? It was simply a matter of whether their physical bodies could withstand it.
The fact that Kisuke Urahara hadn't yet developed the Spirit Converter in this era meant that the rule preventing humans from setting foot in the Soul Society became a stereotype for many Shinigami.
Even Quincy and Bounts can physically enter Soul Society. When Uryu Ishida first entered Soul Society, he still became a spirit, which only proves that spirits are more suitable for Soul Society.
"Alright, it's time to pass the intelligence on to the other captains."
As the meat-eating creature spat out its slimy body, Retsu Unohana summoned a Hell Butterfly.
While the entire Spirit Court was on high alert, one person secretly followed the openly known Traveler.
"I said, how are we supposed to look after them if they split up and run away?"
"Tch, if you're too weak, why participate in this operation? If you die, just blame your own weakness."
"I'm truly sorry, but the lives of my Nura Clan members are very precious."
"Therefore, the first to lose their fighting ability were also members of the Nura Clan."
"Heh, does Madara-san's brother want to become an enemy of the Nura Clan?"
Are you trying to threaten the Uchiha clan?
The two spoke in hushed tones, creating a cold and stiff atmosphere between them.
One of them, with long hair flowing down his back, was Nura Rihan; the other, a young man with red eyes and three black tomoe spinning around him, was Uchiha Izuna.
A helpless voice suddenly broke the stalemate.
"I said, if you two want to argue, can you wait until this matter is over?"
The gentleman with long, wavy blond hair helplessly spread his hands.
"Masked Legion, Rojuro Ootori!" The black-clad youth wielding two swords said calmly, "There's no need to split up. Any battle that breaks out will cause quite a commotion. We can just go and provide support when the time comes."
Moreover, we're going to deal with the strongest Grim Reaper, so don't reveal our fighting strength too easily."
"It's because of this Masked Army that we're here."
With his hands in his pockets, Hirako Shinji smiled and said, "After all..."
"The others can't control their killing intent towards Aizen!!!"
Kirito remained expressionless and did not respond.
Captain Hirako, do you know that the Aizen you're talking about is right in front of you, trying to fool you? Even with his stoic expression, Kirito couldn't help but reveal a subtle, almost imperceptible smile.
Soon, the first battlefield that erupted attracted the attention of the group.
The young man, seated cross-legged atop the vortex, braced his hands behind his head with a long-handled scythe, while "corpses" lay fallen behind him.
Behind him lay ruins, and ahead lay desolate wastelands ravaged by the storm.
The corridors of the Spirit Garden were completely destroyed.
He suddenly stopped, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Looks like an interesting character has arrived."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Are you the traveler who brings misfortune?"
Are you very strong?
A series of unruly, hoarse words suddenly rang out, and a tall shadow, accompanied by the sound of bells, enveloped the young man.
The man with the bizarre hairstyle and scarred face looked somewhat ferocious, a stark contrast to the cute little girl on his shoulder.
"This must be Captain's haori, right? Looks like she's not just some nobody."
"You're quite arrogant, aren't you? Well then, can you give me a pleasant fight?"
Clang! The bell rang, and the tattered longsword came crashing down head-on.
A sudden gust of wind formed from the youth's palm, striking his opponent's chest and knocking Kenpachi Zaraki back two steps.
"Demonic Wind Palm! Pick up your scythe and fight me! This kind of move won't work!"
Kenpachi Zaraki wasn't angry; instead, he became even more excited and tore open his shihaka outfit, revealing his undamaged pectoral muscles.
The young man, whose palm held a miniature storm, had eyes that gleamed with the greed of someone who had spotted their prey: "Not bad! But there's something you know."
"Um"
"Grim Reaper, quite a fitting title."
"What exactly are you trying to say, rambling on and on!"
"Coincidentally, my former nickname was also Death!"
His silver-white bangs bounced up, revealing the tattoos under Eric's eyes.
Chapter 518 Only power can erase the past and control one-third of the future.
"Death, ha ha ha ha ha! Bring it on! Let's fight to our hearts' content!"
Boom! Pure golden spiritual pressure suddenly erupted, and Kenpachi Zaraki, laughing wildly, began to slash wildly with his tattered Zanpakuto.
"Tch, Storm Smash!"
A verdant magic circle appeared in mid-air, unleashing a massive storm with a deafening roar. At the same time, Eligoll retreated swiftly, creating distance between himself and the surroundings.
Yachiru, who had jumped to the sidelines to watch the battle early on, sat adorably on the rooftop, swinging her two short, white legs: "This kind of fighting method will provoke Koken."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Kenpachi Zaraki violently tore through the storm with his Zanpakuto and burst out.
The captain's haori was tattered, but his exposed body remained completely unharmed.
"Hey, you're all talk, you can't possibly use such weak tactics, can you?"
Kenpachi Zaraki's expression was displeased, yet tinged with a hint of sarcasm.
"What a monster."
Eric's expression darkened slightly.
Even when the first move, Demonic Wind Palm, failed to cause any damage, he felt that his opponent would be difficult to defeat. However, he never expected that this Death Captain would withstand his magic without being injured. He felt that any move used to intercept or neutralize the attack was not outrageous.
*Clang!* Eligoro's heart skipped a beat, and he once again used the wind to deflect the sword light that slashed from his side.
"The reaction is pretty good. Does such a big scythe not even have the ability to fight head-on? Compared to that... weak attack, just pick up the weapon and hack at it directly!"
Kenpachi Zaraki's relentless attacks gave his opponent no chance to unleash magic, while maintaining a relatively leisurely attitude to guide him.
Upon realizing this, Eligor's expression darkened: "Fighting with these bells strapped to your body is incredibly disrespectful. If you want a head-on fight, then come and try it!"
Whoosh! The magic circle reappeared, and a gray storm swept up Eligoll, instantly forming a humanoid storm.
Stormcoat! Stormman wielded his sharp, exaggerated scythe, which clashed cleanly with the broken Zanpakuto, sparks flying.
"That's more like it. Isn't this kind of power amazing?"
"Ha ha ha ha!!!"
Kenpachi Zaraki's laughter grew increasingly manic, his movements becoming more and more exaggerated, nothing more than a frenzied, slashing swordplay.
There's absolutely no trick to it.
Yachiru smiled happily: "Ken-chan is getting excited."
The battle here quickly attracted the attention of many powerful figures.
Captains from the S-Seireitei quickly arrived at the battlefield; Kenpachi Zaraki's spiritual pressure was simply too conspicuous within the S-Seireitei.
"This madman"
Erik, who was going head-to-head with Kenpachi Zaraki, gritted his teeth and, in his next move, directly deflected Kenpachi's blade and slashed at him with his crescent scythe.
