From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 509: Kurotsuchi Mayuri: Aizen-kun is a rare talent in the world. He is perfect as the material for the Hogyoku!
In the deepest laboratory underground.

The prisoner Death just now has been locked in a completely transparent suspended compartment.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Onmu Nitsumi and Hisari Saruka were standing outside the cell, watching the prisoners inside.

"Is it about to start?" Saruaki Hisari swallowed a little nervously.

"Don't be so nervous. The success rate is as high as 97 percent." Kurotsuchi Mayuri comforted him casually.

As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed a mechanical button in front of him.

Then, a suspended black square descended from the top of the transparent compartment, and then the black square unfolded, revealing a round bead sealed inside that emitted dazzling and brilliant light.

"Henggyoku." Saruaki Hisyori murmured softly.

"No matter how many times I see it, I always feel it is so beautiful. Although it is still not perfect and complete, in my opinion, it is just right. Excessive pursuit of perfection is also an insult to the future of scientists. If everything can be perfect, there will be a lack of room for improvement. It's a pity that Orochimaru, Urahara Kisuke, or Aizen, they all hope that this Hogyoku can go further." Kurotsuchi Mayuri sighed.

The Hogyoku in front of us is a magical item that was created over the years by the combined strength of Aizen, Orochimaru, Urahara Kisuke, and Kurotsuchi Mayuri, using tens of thousands of artificial Shinigami, thousands of Hollows, and the souls of more than 600 real Shinigami.

"Is this the key specifically used to break the boundaries of death? Is it really that magical?" Saruaki Hisori couldn't help but ask.

"It's far more miraculous than this." Kurotsuchi Mayuri listened to the question, a complex look flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Breaking boundaries is just one of its abilities. In the beginning, we were indeed moving towards this goal. When it made the Hollow successfully break its mask for the first time, and made the Grim Reaper successfully possess a mask for the first time, we were all extremely excited. But then, everyone discovered a problem that was not a problem."

"What do you mean?" Saruaki Hisari asked in confusion.

"The true power of the Hogyoku is not to break boundaries, but to materialize the power of the mind. In other words, it is to realize wishes. The reason why it was able to break limits before was because we expected it to break limits. We expected it, so it showed this power. At that time, it was Aizen who first discovered the abnormality of the Hogyoku. After dozens of attempts, we finally determined that the Hogyoku is essentially an indescribable mysterious power that guides the inner power to materialize, allowing things to develop and move in the direction of one's expectations as much as possible. Of course," said Kurotsuchi Mayuri, looking at Saruka Hisari and said, "If you want to make this power manifest, you must have the corresponding strength yourself. It can't be realized by imagining it out of thin air."

"I don't quite understand," said Saruaki Hisaishi, not quite understanding.

"Then I'll demonstrate it to you." Kurotsuchi Mayuri smiled and looked at the Hogyoku and the imprisoned Shinigami.

He stretched out his hand to a button on the device in front of him and introduced: "Press this button to realize the experiment of the god of death's virtualization. This is also what I am thinking at the moment. Watch carefully."

As soon as he finished speaking, the button fell, and then the broken jade emitted a faint light, shining on the body of the god of death.

After a while, a large amount of milky white spirits began to emerge from the body of the god of death, coming out from the holes on his body, including his eye sockets, nostrils, ear holes, mouth, pores, etc.
The god of death also began to twitch and wail constantly. The chains on his body were instantly broken free, and on the spiritual pressure monitoring meter, his originally ordinary spiritual pressure began to rise rapidly.

In a short while, he reached the captain-level spiritual pressure, and then stabilized.

The hollow mask of the Grim Reaper appeared on his face, and he seemed to have consumed too much energy and fell into a coma.

"With one hollowing, his spiritual pressure rose from the level of an ordinary soldier to the threshold of a captain. It's really terrifying." Saruaki Hisori couldn't help but sigh.

"If he doesn't have this kind of limit-breaking power, why would we bother researching him?" Kurotsuchi Mayuri responded casually, and then continued: "Next, I want to make him a true Hollow."

As he spoke, Kurotsuchi Mayuri pressed another button.

The Grim Reaper began to twist again, the mask on his face kept breaking, and a disintegrating black hole appeared at his throat, which was the 'missing' of Xu.

In just a few breaths, the God of Death transformed from a soul level into a void!

"This is true." Saruaki Hisyori couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Our creation of the Hogyoku did not originally have this function, but it can be realized. This is because, as I thought in my heart, and I have the ability to do so, it is very easy to transform the god of death into a Hollow. I just need to force him to be lost. But to transform a Hollow into a god of death, that is something I cannot do. Therefore, the Hogyoku is very difficult to realize. Watch out," said Kurotsuchi Mayuri as he activated the Hogyoku again.

Although the Collapse Jade also responded this time and emitted a faint light, the void was distorted for a long time and was unable to achieve its own "completion". As the Collapse Jade flickered, it announced the failure of this transformation.

"This is because my power is not enough to guide the Hogyoku to make such a real change. Next, I will show you what will happen if the power of the material is not enough." Kurotsuchi Mayuri pressed another guidance button.

The next second, the experimental material 'Xuan' exploded into a pile of minced meat, dyeing the entire transparent compartment scarlet.

Sarugaki Hiyori was startled, and quickly looked at Kurotsuchi Mayuri and asked, "What did you want to do just now?" "I prayed for him to become the Spirit King." Kurotsuchi Mayuri said calmly, "But it obviously doesn't have the qualifications, and I don't have the power, so the Collapsing Jade failed."

"You are really crazy!!!" Saruaki Hisori couldn't help but mutter.

Even though the guy was shattered into meat paste, Kurotsuchi Mayuri did not waste it. He soon saw the Broken Jade greedily absorbing the pure soul power into the bead. Then, the black square box closed again and took the Broken Jade back into it.

"Onmu, clean up this place." Mayuri Kurotsuchi casually instructed Onmu, and then left the laboratory with Saruka Hiyori.

After they walked out of the laboratory, Saruka Hisori suddenly reacted and looked at Kurotsuchi Mayuri and said, "Since you have already broken the limit, why do you want to let the Hougyoku continue to evolve?"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi paused for a moment, then continued to walk forward, smiling and saying, "See his limit, and also see the limit of the Hogyoku."

"Who? What do you mean?" Saruaki Hisari asked again.

Without waiting for Kurotsuchi Mayuri to speak, Sarukaki Hisori said as if he had thought of something: "Are you planning to attack Ling Zun? Bastard, I will never allow it!"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi was also shocked when he heard this, and quickly said, "Don't talk nonsense, how can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?"

There are many die-hard fans of Reizoun in Isshinkai. Mayuri Kurotsuchi considers himself not to be one of those die-hard fans, but he definitely doesn't dare to offend these people. The Sarukaki Hisyori in front of him is a member of the die-hard faction. If he dares to say today that he studies the Hougyoku in order to make it have an effect on Reizoun, then he may very likely "die of illness" tomorrow.

There is no need to send the body for an autopsy. It can be cremated on the spot and sent to hell.

"The status of the Spiritual Master is there. How could something like the Collapsing Jade possibly affect the Spiritual Master? If you don't believe me, then don't you believe in the Spiritual Master either?" Kurotsuchi Mayuri explained quickly.

When Saruaki Hisori heard this, she thought it made sense.

After Zaraki Souya was released from prison, he quickly became the vice-captain of the third division and joined the Isshinkai.

Due to the extremely special abilities of his Zanpakuto, even Aizen Sosuke was a little afraid of him, because Aizen discovered that his Kyoka Suigetsu had no effect at all on Zaraki Souya, as that guy had already merged his spiritual pressure and spirit particles with the entire Soul Society.

In other words, he is everywhere!
That is to say, he can touch Aizen's blade at all times. Not only that, because he can perceive with the omnipresent spirit particles, the complete manipulation of the five senses like Kyoka Suigetsu does not seem to be particularly effective even if Zaraki Souya is really caught.

But Zaraki Fuyouya said that in the entire Soul Society, only the spiritual pressure and spiritual particles of the Reizoun were something he could not merge with. Not to mention merging with them, he could not even get close to them. It seemed that the spiritual pressure and spiritual particles of the Reizoun were extremely exclusive.

Since then, Aizen and others have realized that the reason why various abilities such as illusions and infections cannot work on the Spirit Master is not because he has eyes that can "see through the three realms", but because his own status and strength are not enough to have an impact on the Spirit Master!
It is like the power of the void, which is highly contagious. It can infect humans and the gods of death, causing other species to become void, gain the power of the void, and even become distorted.

But the infection of Void cannot have any effect on Spiritual Master, because the essence of Spiritual Master is superior to Void!
"Then who are you talking about?" asked Saruaki Hisari again.

"It's Aizen-kun." Kuroshiro Mayuri finally breathed a sigh of relief and didn't dare to keep the secret any longer. He quickly explained, "Aizen-kun is a very pure Shinigami, but at the same time, he is also a rare talent in Soul Society. In my opinion, among the pure Shinigami in the entire Soul Society, no one can compare with him. He is a Shinigami who was born to be at the top. Even a genius like the Captain-General cannot be compared with him."

Seeing the surprised look in Sarukaki Hiyori's eyes, Kurotsuchi Mayuri smiled and said, "That's not what I think. Orochimaru, Urahara Kisuke and the others also think so. Even Rei-zun probably thinks so too. Otherwise, have you ever seen Rei-zun accept any other disciples in all these years?"

"Hiss, Aizen doesn't usually show this kind of genius. Two days ago, he even snatched skewers from me!" Sarukaki Hiseri said belatedly.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri did not respond, but continued: "This rare talent is more than enough to be the material for the Hogyoku. If the Hogyoku can reach the so-called perfection and Aizen can combine with the Hogyoku, perhaps the boundary that can be broken will not be the basic and simple power of the Shinigami and the Hollow."

"What do you mean?" asked Saruaki Hisari again.

"In order to realize Aizen-kun's dream, he has always hoped to catch up with the Soul Master, walk side by side with the Soul Master, and even surpass the Soul Master. Although we still cannot make a judgment on whether he can reach this level, we are all willing to work hard for it. Everyone wants to see if he can do this." Kurotsuchi Mayuri said with a smile.

In the original story, Aizen had no goals to pursue, so he just wanted to stand in the sky, so he was lonely from beginning to end.

But now, it is completely different. He seems to have become the vision that gathers many members of Isshinkai. Everyone is looking forward to whether Aizen can bring everyone's vision to the side of the Spirit Master, or even surpass the Spirit Master!

If he can really do it, the members of Isshinkai will also be pleased with it.

That meant that, at least, they were not completely unable to help Ling Zun.
