Chapter 194 Completes and Rationalizes History

These monsters are so numerous that they no longer care about human eyes, and even in broad daylight, they will run out of cities and villages without restraint to devour humans.

Even the Yamata no Orochi, a terrifying demon god slain in ancient times, had a bloodline that gradually grew stronger due to the enormous spirit of the dead, and continued to wreak havoc in the Tokyo area during the Warring States period.

Local spiritual practitioners, such as Onmyoji, monks, and shrine maidens, were almost helpless in dealing with this.

In that era, although they were on the same continent, the spirit worlds of different regions were relatively closed off. The rulers of other spirit worlds, or rather, the gods, did not care what would happen to the Kansai region, nor did they have time to receive the souls of the dead from these regions.

After all, the relatively closed spirit world itself has fixed boundaries in order to maintain its stability, and the area it can cover is very limited.

To expand the spirit world, in addition to needing the right timing, location, and people, the gods who rule these spirit worlds also need to pay a huge price.

Thus, in Sengoku Japan, while other spiritual forces in other regions watched indifferently, chaos in the Kansai region intensified on a spiritual level.

As the disaster continued to spread, one day, a completely new kind of monster, or rather, evil spirit, now known as the 'Void', began to wreak havoc in the area.

Compared to native monsters like Nurarihyon, Kappa, Seven Ninja, Wanyūdō, and Hone-onna, the monsters called 'Hollows' may not be superior in strength, but their filth and troublesome nature far surpass the former.

This thing is not a monster that should exist in the Kansai region. It seems to be a kind of 'disease' brought by visitors from overseas, a special 'plague' that seems to originate from a divine realm in some overseas country.

The Hollow is like a living source of infection. Once infected by the power of the Hollow, all human souls will be marked with a certain imprint. After death, as negative emotions accumulate, they gradually lose their rationality, transform into the form of the Hollow, and begin to devour humans due to their inner emptiness and hunger.

This new type of evil spirit may not be too powerful individually, but its contagiousness is extremely terrifying.

The local Onmyoji, shrines, shrine maidens, and monks initially only noticed that the number of local yokai was gradually decreasing.

But as time went on, when they really noticed that the number of these evil spirits was increasing, the original native types of monsters and evil spirits almost disappeared.

The once-famous Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is no more; it has been replaced by all sorts of ghosts that roam the day and night, wantonly devouring souls. By then, it is all too late.

The void is like a demon, constantly devouring souls, and its rate of growth far exceeds what ordinary people can imagine.

Even though not every Hollow has the potential to evolve.

However, they can continuously devour their own kind, and the resulting fusion can be considered a new life form. Because of the fusion, they gain increasingly stronger talents and continuously undergo transcendent evolution.

Furthermore, no matter whether it's a monk, an Onmyoji, a priest, or a shrine maiden, they cannot truly and completely eliminate the void.

Although it can be killed, its remaining soul fragments, after spreading as spiritual particles, remain a new source of infection, gradually transforming other souls it comes into contact with into the void.

Even though the Onmyoji and priestesses of that time guided this thing into the native underworld hell, the Void still began to infect more evil spirits who were already suffering in hell.

At that time, the local psychics had already realized that if this situation continued, all human souls in the Kansai region and the Tokyo metropolitan area would gradually be infected and turn into Hollows, then devour each other...

In the very end, an unprecedented monster, powerful enough to rival a god, an ultimate Hollow, will be born on this land!

Despite the efforts of some far-sighted individuals to appeal to other spirit world deities for help, they received no response whatsoever.

Until one day, a powerful figure from overseas arrived here.

A powerful figure from overseas named Adnes seems to be searching for the progenitor of the Void, tracing the original source of infection, and has come all the way here from overseas.

Adnes, who possesses a special power, has the ability to completely decompose the void into spiritual particles, thus blocking the spread of that infectious chain.

He kept killing, killing, killing...

Until one day, the progenitor of the Hollows, who came from overseas and spread the 'plague' of Hollows, was found and killed by Adnes.

But this was still not the end. The progenitor of the Void was killed too late, and the infection could no longer be contained.

The pollution carried by the spiritual particles spread by the void has long been rooted in the spiritual veins of the land in the Kansai region.

The bizarre monsters and various evil spirits that once existed have completely lost their habitat.

Deep within the spiritual veins, there lies pollution caused by the void.

This force is very weak and insignificant, like slightly spoiled food; it has negligible effect on a strong person.

Yet, like a gentle rain nourishing all things, it constantly erodes the souls of the weak, that is, ordinary people.

From birth, growth, aging, and death, even while still in the womb, the polluted spiritual particles already penetrate deep into their souls.

If this continues without external intervention, after death, the souls of these people will inevitably degenerate over time, transforming into monsters called "Void," which will be completely devoured by the emptiness within their hearts and will then devour their former kind.

Adnes used his annihilating power, capable of crushing this pollution, to continuously slay the emerging voids.

But this is useless. It's like clearing the leaves of weeds without cleaning the roots. No matter how many times you clean them, the weeds will keep popping up one after another.

This pollution is not insurmountable, but the price of its complete eradication is the destruction of all the spiritual veins on the earth.

If all the spiritual veins were shattered and purified, even if a small amount of polluted spiritual particles remained, this pollution would gradually disappear on its own as long as the amount was not too large. However, no one could afford to pay such a huge price to shatter the spiritual veins.

Until one day, the five strongest local Onmyoji and priests found Adnes.

A secret meeting concealed a deadly plot.

Adnes was ambushed, and he did not resist at all, allowing them to cut off his left and right hands, which symbolized the power of "movement" and "stillness".

His immense power was used as an energy source to carve out a new two-layered spirit world—the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo—from the chaotic spirit realm that remained unresolved after the previous spirit world was destroyed.

The Soul Society, constructed from the power of Adnes, was used to house the wandering souls who had nowhere to go, thus gradually calming the chaos; while Hueco Mundo was used to contain the souls that had already fallen into the Hollows.

The five noble families then imprisoned Adnes in the crystal, spending a long time cutting off his hands and feet, removing his internal organs, and scattering this power throughout the spirit world.

In doing so, they drastically accelerated the flow of time in this newly formed spirit world, shaping it into a paradise where the five noble families could act as gods.

Meanwhile, the Hollows that were contained within Hueco Mundo were transformed into countless grains of spiritual sand in the closed Spirit World's torrent of time.

The five noble families who committed such despicable acts, along with a bearded fat monk who once followed Adnes and was even given power and a name, actually revered this being, whom they had ambushed and dismembered, turning him into a Jinchūriki supporting Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, and who was trapped in a state of neither life nor death, as a god, and called him "Spirit King".

And they themselves are the actual rulers of this spirit world.

With time accelerated to its extreme, they enjoyed nearly a million years of pleasure in this heavenly realm they controlled...

It wasn't until the present day, when we reached the end of the Edo period in Japan, that the Soul King, or rather Adnes, had his power greatly depleted, and the terrifying time acceleration in Soul Society and Hueco Mundo gradually slowed down.

It wasn't until the Black Ship incident in the present world that the acceleration of time in Soul Society and Hueco Mundo completely stopped...

After explaining his story, Tomohisa Kuroki paused briefly before speaking again: "Lord Spirit King, you should know perfectly well the purpose of our trip."

"Also born in the spirit realm, but even more filthy, the hell corresponding to the Tokyo area was originally caused by the shattering of the spirit world in ancient times, which led to a large number of souls flooding into it. Coupled with the years of war during the Warring States period, it became even more filthy. The pollution of the Hollow power only made things worse."

"In the past, thanks to the existence of the first Soul King Adnes, Hell was always suppressed in the Soul Society."

"But the five noble families and that monk were too conservative. They never paid any attention to hell and simply suppressed it."

"We, from various factions, have visited the five noble families many times, trying to get them to work with us to solve the regional threats, but they have remained ignorant and refused to take any action."

"And during your process of becoming a god, the second generation of the Spirit King, we detected that the Yellow Springs Hell also experienced violent upheavals."

"Although it was quickly suppressed by your power, this was not a long-term solution."

Tomohisa Kuroki looked around, his gaze sweeping over everyone, and said, "Most of us came here today not only to establish a friendly relationship with Lord Spirit King, but also primarily to resolve the hidden dangers in Hell."

"If the hidden dangers of hell are not eliminated, they will inevitably become even greater calamities in the future."

"What is Lord Spirit King's opinion?"

Aizen calmly observed the visiting delegation, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest of the throne.

A moment later, he snapped his fingers, and a young man stepped out from behind the throne.

That was a brightly dressed, slightly bewildered-looking orange-haired boy who still forced himself to stand tall and straight – Kurosaki Ichigo.

Aizen slowly spoke: "I have already considered the issue of Hell."

He introduced, "This man is named Kurosaki Ichigo. He was once one of the five great noble families and the last bloodline of the Shiba family. At the same time, he also inherited the Quincy power of the former Soul King Adnes, and even possesses the Hollow power that I bestowed upon him."

“He is my successor, and at the same time, he will become the Lord of Hell whom I have chosen.”

"If you're worried, feel free to send your people along, led by Kurosaki Ichigo, to Hell to wipe out those threats..."

"Uh..." Kurosaki Ichigo, who was still just a boy, had a dream of getting into a good university and then studying abroad to become a translator.

He'd never seen anything like this before. He swallowed hard, looked at everyone somewhat awkwardly, and said softly, "Hello everyone..."

Meanwhile, inside his "inside," Fang Zheng continued to quietly observe everything.

The Atomic Concerto operates silently, collecting all the information within the rendering area without anyone noticing.

Fang Zheng stared at Aizen and Sosuke on the throne, at the former captains of the Gotei 13, and at Kurosaki Ichigo...

As expected, everything went exactly as predicted.

The words Fang Zheng once said to Aizen had long been forgotten by Aizen during the background completion process.
